Chapter 657: Coming to the Crescent Moon Oasis
Xingyu 11, 1174 at 8 am, there was an oasis in the desert called crescent moonshui. This place was named after the moon-shaped lake.
The team of Holy Pattern mercenaries was camping around the crescent water oasis for repairs, while Yan Tielong, Ospine and several members accompanied Uncle Ababag into the Oasis town to purchase various substances.
You should know that Yan Tielong and the others arrived at the oasis last evening. As a result, they were too late to enter the town in the oasis, so they could only enter the town to buy materials today.
Yan Tielong asked about the price of the strong man selling water, but Yan Tielong was surprised that the water here actually cost fifty silver coins per pound, and he felt that he was suffering a huge loss.
Uncle Ababag beside Yan Tielong frowned when he heard the water price, because the current water price has increased by ten companions.
When Yan Tielong heard Uncle Ababag telling the story of the water price being raised ten times, he frowned. After all, the water price suddenly rose, so there must be a problem with the crescent water oasis. But the most important thing now is to get the water, otherwise a large group of people will die of thirst.
When Yan Tielong was thinking about how to get the water, he suddenly found that there were many tents fifty meters north of the crescent moon lake, so he asked if Uncle Ababag's lake tent was the owner of the oasis?
Uncle Ababag heard Yan Tielong ask, and he said that the tents were not the owners of this oasis, but were outsiders like them.
Hearing Uncle Ababag's words, Yan Tielong felt that he could get free water, so he asked if he could get a tent near the lake?
When Uncle Ababag heard Yan Tielong's request, he showed a puzzled expression and asked why he wanted those positions?
Yan Tielong whispered to remind Uncle Ababag that he is a water magician. As long as he gets close to the lake, he will have a way to get clear water.
When Uncle Ababag heard Yan Tielong's words, his eyes lit up, so he assured Yan Tielong that he would handle the tents.
Yan Tielong watched Uncle Ababag leave in a hurry. He could understand why Uncle Ababag was so anxious. After all, Ababag's caravan had consumed a lot of water. If there was not enough water, they could not hold on to the next oasis.
However, when Yan Tielong was about to leave, the price of selling water here actually increased to one gold coin per kilogram, which also caused a large number of people to be dissatisfied, and some even used force. Unfortunately, the local armed forces in the crescent water oasis were even stronger. All those who launched the violence were suppressed, and then they were thrown out of the oasis by the local armed forces.
Seeing that the water prices were constantly being raised, Yan Tielong entered the Forget Shui Tavern and hoped to find out why the local area continued to raise the water prices.
But before he could wait, Yan Tielong was a little confused that the tavern's ale was only five silver coins per cup, which means that ten silver coins could buy one pound of ale, which was more affordable than a gold coin outside, so he directly asked for ten barrels of ale.
Unfortunately, Yan Tielong had no choice but to tell him that the owner of the tavern told him that the wine he had here could not be taken away, and he would have to drink it in the tavern.
After hearing the tavern owner's regulations, Yan Tielong didn't want ten barrels of ale and just asked for a glass of ale.
While drinking, Yan Tielong asked the tavern owner why he sells alcohol so cheaply and the local clean water price is so high?
Originally, the tavern owner was unwilling to tell the reason, but when Yan Tielong spent a gold bar to buy the best sand hot area "Wine" in the sand, he told the reason.
It turns out that the direct long price of the crescent water oasis is because the oasis here has changed its owner. The new oasis owner believes that the old oasis owner's price for the water price is too low, so he decided to raise the water price, but what the tavern owner did not expect was that the new oasis owner was too greedy and would sooner or later bring disaster to this oasis.
Yan Tielong agrees with the owner of the tavern. After all, water is the source of life in the desert. For example, the current Oasis owner raised clear water to a gold coin and a pound is beyond everyone's ability to bear it. This is already the life of people who are short of water. In order to survive, someone will definitely cause trouble. I don't know if the oasis here will be destroyed by war.
When Yan Tielong finished drinking the best sand hot area, Ababag and Ospine looked for him. Regarding the arrival of the two, Yan Tielong, who was a little drunk, introduced that the drinks here were several times cheaper than the water outside.
When Ababag heard Yan Tielong's words, he showed an unexpected expression, but when he thought of anything, he introduced that the wine in this tavern was not allowed to be taken out.
Hearing that Ospine was not allowed to take out, they showed a disappointed expression, and then they put Yan Tielong out of the tavern, after all, it was impossible for others to know about it when they found out.
After leaving the tavern, Yan Tielong, who was originally a little drunk, returned to Qingming and told the two of them that they were following and asked them to be careful.
When Ababag and Ospine heard Yan Tielong, they already understood that Yan Tielong had a very good alcohol tolerance. They could get drunk just by drinking a bottle of 300 ml of the best sand hot zone and a few glasses of ale. It turned out that they were just staring at them!
Returning to Yan Tielong, who belongs to his tent area, asked Ospine to bring Meili Yixue and Edmi to the tent closest to the lake, and also asked Ospine to secretly protect the tent nearest lake from anyone disturbing them casting spells and getting water.
When Ospine heard Yan Tielong nodding, she went to find the two girls; and Yan Tielong entered the tent near the lake and began to take out a very large piece of paper and start drawing magic circles with special ink.
Yan Tielong did not expect that his fiancée Lion Alia was also interested in watching how he and his second daughter fetched water; so Yan Tielong arranged for his fiancée to be a guarantee to ensure that they would not disturb them. Then he and Meili Yixue and Edmith introduced him to the water gathering element array, and asked them to summon water balls to inject water pipes to fill the water truck outside with water.
Hearing Yan Tielong's instructions, Meili Yixue and Ademis expressed their understanding, but Meili Yixue hoped that the magic array on the paper in Yan Tielong's hand could be studied for her. After all, she had never seen the water-based magic array drawn by Yan Tielong.
After seeing the two magical girls in water system, Yan Tielong took out dozens of bottles of magic and mental power from the space ring and told the two girls that they were not capable of magic and mental power. Even if they were not allowed to use potions, they would use potions.
Then Yan Tielong took out three natural sapphires from the space ring and put them in three places of the magic circle. Then he began to use magic power to stimulate the magic circle, and then formed a magic circle in front of Yan Tielong.
When Yan Tielong's magic circle was completed, Meili Yixue and Edmith obviously felt that the water elements around them began to become more and more active, so they began to summon water poles in water magic. As a result, they found that the magic they summoned was very smooth, and they also felt that the power of their water poles was even stronger.
However, Meilixue and Edmith knew that they had important things, so they controlled the water balls to enter the water pipe and began to replenish the empty water wheel.
In fact, the Yan Tielong water-based magic array is called the water-based element array. This array can gather the surrounding water elements around the magic array, but it requires a water-based magician to control it.
Of course, some people may ask why there are water magicians and water-gathering elemental arrays to buy water from the oasis. Isn’t it enough to just use magic to replenish water for the water truck?
In fact, Yan Tielong went to the oasis to buy clear water. The first is that it was cheap, and the second was that it was unable to achieve self-sufficiency; it was also simple to be willing. The water elements on the desert were very rare, and the water elements in the sky were too high, so it was impossible to summon the master-level magicians, so even if Meili Yixue's advanced water-based combat magicians were suppressed to barely reaching the primary level.
According to Meili Yixue's level, she can only barely supply the basic water demand for sixteen people at a specific time every day, while Yan Tielong and Edmith are even worse, which leads to the water demand being a car and water cup salary.
The effect of using the water-gathering element array in the desert is very limited and very wasteful, so the somewhat stingy Yan Tielong will not use it at all.
The oasis lakes here are full of active water elements. As long as you use the water-gathering element array, you can attract the water elements in the lake to your side, which can restore Ademis and Meilishe to strength and increase their strength.
Since Yan Tielong and others use water elements to replenish water, they have little impact on the current lake water, which is why desert residents respect water magicians.
When Ababag saw a car full of empty water trucks, he couldn't help but smile and thanked the earth for the favor of the gods.
At the same time, Ababag thought about how he went to his caravan to gather everyone, and then began to let everyone do it in the name of the gods and not disclose what happened here to anyone, otherwise he would be punished by the gods.
When Ospine saw Ababag's behavior, he still didn't understand why the other party did that, but it was necessary to remind and pay attention to the members. So he found Qimi Luoan to notify all members to keep the matters of the leader at the highest level confidentiality.
Seeing that the deputy commander was very serious, Luo An knew that the deputy commander in front of him was not a joke, so he nodded seriously and carried out the order.
In fact, it is a very correct choice for Ospine and Ababag to use magic to replenish water for Yan Tielong to keep it strictly confidential, because their confidentiality behavior also avoids unnecessary trouble for the upcoming riots.
