"Travel? Jennifer just smiled, and the laughter was obviously not quite convinced: "Forget it, you don't want to tell the truth, I don't force you, it's just that you are a little girl wandering outside, and you don't worry about encountering danger or bad people? Maybe we are bad people?"

Alice knew that she was amusing herself to relieve her boredom, and said with a smile: "Being alone at my age, still a girl, of course I am afraid of things. But there must be a reason for a bad person to do a bad thing, and I don't have much wealth on me, and I don't have anything worthy of the attention of the bad person, so who will endanger me?"

Jennifer looked at Alice's eyes, and said, "It seems that you are quite bold and not afraid at all." But the bad guys are diverse, and they don't have to be just for the money. If you have such a seductive beauty, you are not afraid that the bad guys will have other thoughts on you and plot against you?"

Alice's big eyes rolled, looked at the three big men beside her, and asked, "Are the three of them bad guys?"

Jennifer waved her finger and smiled, "That's not for sure." ”

"Hey, Jennifer, don't scare her, if you really freak her out and treat us like the kind of people you call us, then Lucas and I will be wrongly killed. Kerru lay in the sand ditch with his arms folded, his legs folded, his toes swinging, and he looked lazy.

Comander next to him was not happy when he heard it: "Hey Krew, why didn't you take me with you and Lucas when you were wronged?"

Kruhl laughed: "Whether you're or not, I don't know." You said it wasn't Lucas. ”

Lucas laughed too.

Alice said, "You want to scare me. Say you're a bad person. But how do you know that I'm not a bad person?" said with a change in expression, and said gloomily: "Maybe I approached you for your mission goal and went on the road with you." ”

After saying this, the faces of the four of them changed at the same time, and there were doubts and vigilant looks in their eyes. Jennifer's eyes rolled and she suddenly smiled: "What are you nervous about, she scares us." ”

Alice turned her face and smiled: "It seems that I won this game, and you are the ones who were scared." ”

The three relaxed, and Lucas smiled. "Little girl." How do you know what we're trying to do?"

Alice spread her hands and shook her head, "I don't know." ”

"What about you...... Then how do you know to scare us with this thing"

Alice smiled and said, "Before I set off, I used to ask you about what you were doing in Xisha City in the past, but you really refused to say, remember?"

"Yes. It's normal for mercenaries to keep their missions secret. So what?"

Alice added, "It's normal for mercenaries to keep their tasks secret. However, according to common sense, there is no need for secrecy for ordinary tasks, and what needs to be kept secret must be important. But even the more important tasks are not impossible to talk about at all, even if they don't want to talk to outsiders. It's okay to have a few words to communicate privately. But you accepted the assignment only in the morning, and you have not said a word about it along the way, nor have you exchanged any opinions, which obviously shows that this task is very important, and you should not reveal half a word to outsiders. So I'm just going to lie to you, and you're scared. ”

After the four of them listened, they really eased their nervous expressions.

Lucas laughed and said, "You little girl is not very old, but she is quite smart. ”

Alice apologized, "Don't mind, I'm just joking around with you." ”

The strong wind did not ease until the sun set, and the temperature on the Gobi will be cold at night, and the five people are not prepared to stay in the wilderness, so even if they are in a hurry, they have to rush to Xisha City.

Fortunately, the desert Dudu Bird's feet were very fast, and after more than two hours of travel, it finally arrived outside Xisha City before ten o'clock in the evening.

Ten o'clock in the evening is not long after the sun sets in the western region, although Xisha is a remote city, but at this time the city is brightly lit. Alice stood on the barren mountain cliff outside the city, looked at the lights in the city, and sighed: "I can't imagine that such a big city can be seen in such a desolate and remote place." ”

"yes. Jennifer said: "Xisha City is known as the pearl of the western side of the desert, although this place is remote, but it is not desolate, on the contrary, it is much more prosperous than most cities on the edge of the desert. In fact, more than ten years ago, it was just a small village that relied on an oasis to survive, and its current scale is inseparable from the local Lurkaf family. ”

"Is it the Lourkaf house, the biggest in town?"

Jennifer nodded: "Yes, without this Lulcaueffe, there would be no bustling city of West Sand." ”

"It turns out that he is still an amazing character. Alice muttered.

Lucas tugged at the reins and said, "Alright, let's go down into the city." ”

After descending the cliff and entering the city on the edge of the desert, Lucas and Alice went to the stable and handed over the desert toks before saying goodbye. After a day's journey, Alice was too tired to do so, so she found a random hotel nearby and stayed.

It was dark and late in the west, and it was already noon when Alice woke up. After washing, she ordered some food to eat in her room, thinking about what she should do.

"I'm looking for this Lurkaf, but this city was built because of him, and half of the city is his family's property, and his power here can be imagined. Well...... How do I get started?"

In her thoughts, a lunch ran out before she knew it, and Alice wiped her mouth, packed up her dishes, and decided to take a look at the city first.

Toliba is a remote country in the western part of the mainland, and the city of Xisha is on the edge of the desert. In the four-square hut, each house is hung with a string of yellow shelled dried fruits, painted with strange faces with national characteristics, a necklace made of dried insect corpses as specimens to bless peace, and the most distinctive is the black dog statue made of black stone standing in the middle of the cross street or in front of important buildings. This black dog statue is particularly abrupt and interesting in this city, most of the buildings here are built of local sand, the appearance is white or almost white, not other colors of white, and this statue of the black dog erected in this white city, how not to look abrupt. Interestingly, there are four tall stone statues of black dogs in front of the office building of the local city government, which is really funny, and these four black stone dogs have become veritable watchdogs.

However, the stone statue of the black stone dog also has peculiar places, although it is a statue of a dog, it is topped with two pairs of horns, one long and one short, and the whole body is pitch black to the end, without any other color, and I don't know if it is a local god or monster.

In addition to these, from time to time, you can see a kind of monster that is extremely difficult to see in the streets, that is, the sand monster that only exists in the desert, also known as the sand demon. This beast is believed to be an elemental lifeform, and its core contains a very precious elemental material, the marrow of sand.

When she was on the Gobi before, Alice had never seen this kind of sand monster, and she was shocked to see it on the street. However, the locals have long been accustomed to this, and this sand monster does not attack people, but just wanders aimlessly, as if looking for something. Some of them turned into puddles of sand and scattered on the ground as they walked, and sometimes they suddenly gathered sand and moved around, and there seemed to be no danger except for some infiltration.

Alice first walked around the center of the city, and then looked around a few random places, and already had a general idea of the city. As others say, most of the city's estate is owned by Lurkaf Kopochin, more than 60% of the people in the city have the surname Lurkaccin, and the mayor of the city is not a relative of Kopochin, and Kopochin is a local lord with great fame. Although Toliba does not have a system of fiefdoms, the entire city of Xisha is strictly like a small kingdom of Kopochin.
