"Travel? Haha." Jennifer just smiled, and it was obvious that she didn't believe it: "Forget it, if you don't want to tell the truth, I won't force you. It's just that you are a little girl wandering outside alone, and you don't have to worry about being in danger.
Or bad people? Maybe we are the bad people?"
Alice knew that she was just teasing herself to relieve her boredom, and she said with a smile: "As a girl at my age, I am alone and I am afraid of things. But bad people always have a reason to do bad things. I don't have too many
I have a lot of property and nothing worthy of attention from bad guys, so who would harm me?"
Jennifer looked into Alice's eyes and said, "It seems that you are quite courageous and not afraid at all. But there are many kinds of bad people, and they are not necessarily just for money. You gave birth to a baby
With such an alluring beauty, aren't you afraid that bad people may have other thoughts on you and plot against you?"
Alice rolled her big eyes, looked at the three grown men beside her, and asked, "Are they three lustful bad guys?"
Jennifer waved her fingers and smiled and said, "You can't tell."
"Hey, Jennifer, stop scaring her. If she really scares her and thinks we are the kind of people you say, then Lucas and I will die unjustly." Kellu lay with his arms on his pillow.
In the sand ditch, he crossed his legs and swung his toes, looking lazy.
Next to him, Komand was unhappy when he heard this: "Hey Keerru, you and Lucas were wronged, why didn't you take me with you? Am I the kind of person Jennifer said?"
Kellu laughed: "I don't know if you are. Tell me if you are Lucas."
Lucas also laughed.
Alice said: "You want to scare me, saying that you are a bad person. But how do you know that I am not a bad person?" After saying that, her expression changed, and she said sadly: "Maybe I am approaching you just for your mission goal.
, I am traveling with you."
After saying this, the faces of the four people changed at the same time, with doubts and vigilance in their eyes. Jennifer rolled her eyes and suddenly smiled: "Why are you nervous? She is scaring us."
Alice turned her face and smiled: "It seems that I won this round, and you are the ones who were scared."
The three of them relaxed, and Lucas smiled and asked, "Little girl, how do you know our mission goal?"
Alice spread her hands and shook her head: "I don't know."
"Then you... then how did you know to use this to scare us?"
Alice smiled and said: "Before setting off, I once asked you in a casual conversation what you were doing in Xisha City, but you really refused to tell me. Do you remember?"
"Remember, it's normal for mercenaries to keep their missions secret, so what?"
Alice added: "It is normal for mercenaries to keep their missions secret. But according to common sense, there is no need to keep secrets for ordinary tasks. What needs to be kept secret must be important things. But even for more important tasks, it is not necessary.
You can't talk about it either. Even if you don't want to tell outsiders, you should still exchange a few words privately. But you just accepted the task this morning, and up until now, you haven't discussed or exchanged any words or phrases about this task.
Any opinions, this obviously shows that this task is very important and cannot be revealed to outsiders. So I will only deceive you, and you will be scared."
After the four of them listened, their nervous expressions really eased.
Lucas chuckled and said, "You are a young girl, but you are quite smart."
Alice apologized: "Don't mind, I'm just joking with you."
The strong wind did not calm down until the sunset. The temperature in the Gobi desert would be sharply cold at night. None of the five people were prepared to stay in the wild, so they had to rush to Xisha City even if they were traveling at night.
Fortunately, the desert doodle bird traveled very quickly. After more than two hours of journey, we finally arrived outside Xisha City before ten o'clock in the evening.
Ten o'clock in the evening is when the sun has not long set in the western region. Although Xisha is a remote city, the city is brightly lit at this time. Alice stood on the barren mountain cliff outside the city and looked at the lights in the city and sighed.
Said: "I never thought that such a big city could be found in such a desolate and remote place."
"Yes." Jennifer said: "Xisha City is called the pearl on the west side of the desert. Although this place is remote, 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,
This is just a small village that relies on an oasis to survive. Its development to its current scale is inseparable from the local Lurkaf family."
"Is this the biggest Lurkav family in the city?"
Jennifer nodded: "Yes, without this Lurkafu, there would be no prosperous city like Xisha."
"It turns out he is still a great person." Alice murmured.
Lucas pulled the reins and said, "Okay, let's go down and enter the city."
After descending the cliff and entering this city on the edge of the desert, the four of Lucas and Alice went to the stables together and handed over the desert doodle birds before saying goodbye. After a day's journey, Alice was also tired.
No, I found a hotel nearby and stayed there.
It gets dark late in the west and lights up late. It was already noon when Alice woke up. After washing, she ordered some food to eat in the room while thinking about what to do with her own affairs.
"What I'm looking for must be this Lurkaf, but this city was built because of him. Half of the city is his family's property. His power here can be imagined. Hmm... How should I start?
?”
In her thoughts, one lunch was used up unknowingly. Alice wiped her mouth, put away the tableware, and decided to take a look around the city first.
Toliba is a remote country in the west of the mainland, and the city of Xisha is on the edge of the desert. Everything here is full of folk customs with local ethnic characteristics. There are square huts, and every household has a hanging
There are a bunch of yellow shelled dried fruits, painted with strange facial makeup with national characteristics, and necklaces made of dried insect corpses to bless peace. The most distinctive ones are the ones that stand in the middle of the cross street or in important buildings.
The black dog statue made of black stone in front of the door. This kind of black dog statue is particularly unexpected and interesting in this city. Most of the buildings here are built with local sand, and their appearance is white or nearly white.
Painted in other colors, these black dog statues do not look out of place when erected in this white city. What is interesting is that there are actually four tall black dog stone statues placed in front of the office building of the local municipal government.
It's really funny. These four black stone dogs have become veritable watchdogs.
However, there is also something strange about the stone statue of a black stone dog. Although it is a statue of a dog, it has two pairs of horns, one long and one short. The whole body is pitch black without any other color. It is not known whether it is some kind of local god or magical beast.
In addition to these, from time to time, you will see a kind of magical beast wandering on the streets that is extremely rare to see outside. That is the sand monster that only exists in the desert, also known as the Sand Demon. This kind of magical beast is considered to be a
It is an elemental life form, and the core of its body contains a very precious elemental material - the marrow of sand.
Alice had never seen this kind of sand monster before when she was in the Gobi. She was shocked when she suddenly saw it on the street. However, the locals had long been accustomed to it, and this kind of sand monster did not attack people.
They were just wandering aimlessly, as if they were looking for something. Sometimes they would turn into a puddle of sand and scatter on the ground as they walked, and sometimes they would suddenly gather into shape and move around. There seemed to be no threat other than some infiltration of people.
Alice first walked around the center of the city, and then randomly found a few places to wander around. She already had a general understanding of the city. As others said, most of the city's
The property of Dululkaf Kobochin. More than 60% of the people in the city have the surname Lulkaf. Although the mayor of this city is not Kobochin, he is also a relative of Kobochin. Kobochin
Moreover, the reputation of the local lord is very deep. Although Toliba country does not have a system of demarcating territories, the entire Xisha City is like a small kingdom in Kobochin.
