As soon as the desert halfling appeared, he stared at them with vigilant and unkind eyes.
Although it didn't immediately shout to fight or kill, obvious hostility could be seen in its eyes. Moreover, under the halfling's feet, the quicksand domain was expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was useless.
How long will it take for the area where they are standing to be completely submerged?
At this moment, Luojia announced his name.
The desert halflings had obviously never heard of Luojia, but Luojia and it were both earth creatures, and with the appearance of stone, the desert halflings immediately understood that Luojia came from the wild stone wasteland of their allied country, which was like a brother.
Therefore, the desert halflings did not rush to threaten them, but hesitated for a while and said to Luojia: "Wait a moment, I will go to the patrol for confirmation."
After saying that, the desert halfling got into the quicksand and disappeared.
After about three minutes, the halfling's figure hovered in the slight breeze and finally reappeared in front of them.
Compared to before, its expression at this time was less guarded and more intimate: "It turns out to be Junior Brother Luojia."
Junior brother Luojia's eyes lit up and he looked at the halfling opposite: "Are you also the teacher's student?"
The halfling grinned widely and nodded with a smile: "Yes, but that was more than three hundred years ago. I guess Junior Brother Luojia must have never heard of me."
"By the way, the patrol has informed the teacher after learning that Junior Brother Luojia has returned. I believe the teacher will be very happy to see you." After that, the halfling got out of the way and pointed out the direction for Luojia.
Luojia glanced at Angel next to him, hesitated for a moment, and said to the halfling suspended in the air: "I have a request..."
"Fly to where the teacher is?" The halfling glanced at Luojia in surprise. This guy didn't look like he could fly.
Luojia briefly explained, saying that he was not the one who could fly, but with the help of Angel's props.
"So that's it." The halfling looked like it was enlightened, but in fact it still didn't know what was going on, and it just didn't want to expose its ignorance.
"Junior Brother Luojia must know the taboo on flying. I can't make the decision on this. So, I'll ask the patrol to tell the wise man and see what the teacher says."
After saying that, the halfling fell into the quicksand again.
A few minutes later, the halfling appeared again: "The wise man agreed. However, according to the rules, you need to find a tooth-pulling desert native creature to fly with you."
When the halfling said this, he showed a hint of sympathy: "I can tell you clearly that there are no flying earth creatures within a hundred miles around here."
In other words, if Luojia could not find a flying companion, he would still have to rely on his feet to slowly move to the core area.
There was distress in Luojia's eyes, and he couldn't help but look at the halfling... This halfling not only looks like the magic lamp monster in the fairy tale, but also has the characteristics of the magic lamp monster. It is suspended in the air and should be able to fly.
Bar?
The halfling seemed to understand Luojia's meaning and waved his hands repeatedly: "I can't do it. I am what you call...the enforcer. At most, I can move nearby and cannot leave too far."
The halfling's rejection made Luojia sigh helplessly.
Seeing that the little flowers on Luojia's body were all wilting, the halfling couldn't bear it and suggested, "Why don't you search for them while walking? You can fly across after you find them."
Luojia turned his head and handed over the decision-making power to Angel.
Angel pondered for a moment and said to the halfling: "Does the flight companion have to be able to fly? If he can't fly, is it okay?"
"The regulations do not require that the flight companion must be able to fly..." the halfling muttered.
Angel waved his hand lightly and released the gondola, suspending it in mid-air: "My flying boat can carry an earth creature. I'll find one who can't fly. As long as he stays on the boat, it can be considered a flying companion, right?"
The halfling hesitated for a moment, feeling as if his mind was spinning, but finally nodded: "It should be okay."
After receiving confirmation from the halfling, Angel quickly turned around and gently weighed a little gerbil that was just a week old a few hundred meters away.
"This little guy should have been born during World Voices, right? Can I take it with me?"
The halfling was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "The regulations do not prohibit creatures in the elf stage from flying as companions."
Angel smiled slightly and put the struggling little gerbil into Luo Jia's hands: "Then let's say goodbye first."
After speaking, Angel took Luojia and Dangelos back to the gondola. Under the complicated eyes of the halfling, he controlled the airship and flew away into the distance.
On the gondola, Luojia, who was comforting the frightened little gerbil, showed a thoughtful expression on his face: "I didn't expect it could be done like this. Alas, I can't let go of my mind. Otherwise, I would be wrong.
I should have been able to think of such a simple method just now."
"Sure enough, Teacher Ku Platinum is right. I still need to study more, otherwise my vision will always be limited to the established framework."
When Luojia said that he wanted to study, his eyes lit up brightly.
When Angel came to the Tidal World, it was the first time he saw such an elemental creature that was so thirsty for knowledge.
The more I understand the elemental creatures, the more I find that they, like all intelligent life, have different personalities. There are Dangros who live by their idols as their faith, the Sand Brigade who are uninhibited and love freedom, and the Luo who pursue learning as their pursuit.
Ga.
When Angel heard about elemental creatures in the past, even if the wizard called them "partners", he would inevitably think of them as tool men without feelings.
Now that he has witnessed these vivid elemental lives, he has gradually begun to abandon his past opinions.
…
"Stop for a moment." A desert giant emerged from the undulating sand dunes and waved to the gondola in the sky to stop.
Angel and Luo Jia looked at each other, sighed helplessly, and slowly lowered the gondola.
On the way to the core area of ​​the Tuya Desert, this was the tenth time they were intercepted in just one hour.
As in the previous situation, this seemingly burly desert giant used gentle movements that were inappropriate for its size to hand over a small milk cat that was only the size of a palm to Luo Jia.
"Sorry to trouble you." After the desert giant saw the little milk cat being held in Luojia's arms, it breathed a sigh of relief and thanked them.
Angel said in a deep voice: "It doesn't matter... I'm on my way anyway."
After bidding farewell to the desert giant, the gondola continued to fly. The route was the same as before, but there were many more people to take the boat.
Not only are there little gerbils and this little sand cat, but there are also little snails, little foxes, little mushrooms, little earthworms, little lizards... and other desert elves, all chattering and playing in the gondola.
, spit out some sand along the way.
These were blocked by sand-type creatures along the way and then sent to the gondola.
According to an embarrassed patroller, these are elemental elves that have just been born. The best destination for them is to go to the core area and be taught by wise men. But the defenders and patrollers in the outer desert, if nothing unexpected happens, are
Those who couldn't leave their posts naturally couldn't send these elemental elves away. When they heard the halfling say that Angel was "flying with him" with a little gerbil, their eyes lit up, and they immediately waved when they saw the flying boat in the sky, hoping to
Give these little elves a ride along the way.
After all, these are all trivial matters, and they might be able to build some connections. Angel couldn't refuse, so the current scene happened.
The small gondola is already covered with elves.
If he is an earth wizard on the elemental side, or if he is a bit more lucky, he is a desert warlock who specializes in sand magic. He will probably be very happy at this time, surrounded by various desert elves, and maybe he can find a suitable partner for him.
.
However, Angel is not a desert warlock, and his research on earth magic is almost nonexistent, not to mention that the earth magic is still relatively partial to the sand type.
So when he saw these little elves spitting sand everywhere, he felt no joy at all, and even felt a little itchy.
But after all, he was a naughty child, and he was still an unintelligent naughty child. In the end, Angel could only take a deep breath and endure it.
Fortunately, as the night began to deepen, these newborn elves also began to get tired. Including Dangros, all the elves slowly fell into sleep, which gave Angel a little relief.
However, even if the elf has entered sleep time, the mature elemental creatures are still active, so Angel's flying boat still encounters many intercepting elemental creatures when it passes by.
More elves were crammed onto the boat.
It can be said that this section of the road from the border to the core area is the longest that Angel has traveled.
Even with the super speed of the gondola, it took a full eight hours to reach the core area of ​​the Tooth Desert, less than half of which was spent being intercepted.
At this time, there were more than forty elves on the boat.
Angel already regretted a little at this time. He should not have brought the little gerbil on the boat in the first place. He could have brought any mature elemental creature with him.
But there's no point regretting it. Everything has happened, so we can only accept it.
Fortunately, now that they have arrived at the core area, they will be free soon.
The time for relief came faster than expected. Under Luojia's guidance, it only took them half an hour in the core area to find the Tooth Extraction Palace where the wise man lived.
This is the first building with an obvious mature style that Angel has seen in Tidal World.
It's a bit like a temple, with no walls and is composed entirely of huge pillars.
As the sun rises, the sunlight shines into the Tooth Extraction Palace, passing through the pillars and casting a large number of regular and dense shadows. The sun rises and sets, bringing with it a sense of religious ritual.
"Is this palace built by earth creatures?" Angel lowered the gondola towards the palace and asked Luojia opposite.
To be continued...
