Shahan Kingdom, Tolia City.
A 14- to 15-year-old black and thin boy is trying to sell products to a tourist from other places: "My lord, this is the most famous handicraft of the Shahan Kingdom, the bright sand mirror, and it is the best product for the female relatives. I The goods here are directly shipped from the Boutique Pavilion. They only charge four amethyst coins at the cost price. If you buy three yuan, there is even a discount, only ten amethyst coins. You can’t find this price in any store in the city. gone."
The foreign tourist was Chen Rui who came all the way. The Black Prison Desert is located in the southwest of the human world. It has an extremely vast area. However, due to its remote location and harsh environment, there are only two barren small countries around the periphery. , Shahan Kingdom is one of them.
Tolia City is the largest city in the kingdom other than the capital. It has a small area and a small population. In Chen Rui's opinion, this second largest city is at most equivalent to a small town in the Dark Moon Territory.
Seeing Chen Rui's general interest, the young man rolled his eyes and put the mirror back into the small bag in his hand: "Sir, this is probably the first time you have come to Tolia City. Although the girls here are not as good as those in big cities, But it has a different style, do you want me to take adults to a good place? The girls there are the cleanest and hottest in the city, and the care is satisfactory! The adults only need to give me a little hard work."
Looking at the young man who spared no effort to pimp, Chen Rui shook his head secretly, and asked, "I'm not interested in souvenirs or women, are you familiar with the desert?"
"Returning to my lord, I grew up here since I was a child. There is no one here who doesn't know my little Jim. He is known as a know-it-all. He even knows how many sand dunes there are in the Black Prison Desert." Little Jim said enthusiastically.
"It is indeed my first time in Tolia City, so tell me about the Black Hell Desert first, little Jim who is known as the know-it-all."
"Eh..." Little Jim blinked, seeing that Chen Rui didn't speak.
Chen Rui smiled, and with a flick of his finger, an amethyst coin was tossed high. Little Jim quickly caught it, nodded and bowed for a while, but thought in his heart that he met a foreigner with a lot of money today, he seemed to be able to fool him One pass to cheat more money.
While thinking about it, another amethyst coin appeared in the other party's hand. Little Jim was overjoyed when he saw that hard amethyst coin instantly turned into powder in the other party's fingers: "I will ask other people the same question, If what you said is not true at all, I don't think I need to talk nonsense."
Little Jim shivered, immediately put away some redundant thoughts, and honestly introduced the situation in the desert. Chen Rui inquired about a batch of materials on the sidelines, including the condensed fire crystal sand. Little Jim is indeed a know-it-all, he knows quite well about ordinary materials, and can tell what shops in the city can buy them, but he knows nothing about condensed crystal sand, and he has never heard of this kind of thing at all.
Chen Rui could tell that the young man was not lying, but Delus, the king of light elements, would not lie to him. The condensed crystal sand must be in the black prison desert.
There is another legend about the Dream Oasis. A long time ago, there was a mysterious and remote kingdom in the desert called Chidou Kingdom. The king is fatuous, and he favors an ambitious prime minister. Under the violent rule of the prime minister, most people believe in cruelty, and fewer and fewer people believe in light.
This prime minister not only coveted the throne, but also coveted the beauty of the princess. The princess is a devout Illuminati, and her fiancé is a young and promising general in the kingdom. It's a pity that the general was killed by the prime minister's slander to the king, and he remarried the princess to the prime minister. The sad and angry princess went on a hunger strike for three days, prayed to the God of Light and died in love.
The princess's devotion and infatuation moved the God of Light, and launched a terrible storm to engulf the Red Fighting Kingdom. Only the place where the princess died in love turned into an oasis, and the believers of Light were spared in the oasis.
Guided by the light, the princess' soul entered the Kingdom of God, and was named "Teshanier" by the God of Light, which is the old saying "desert messenger". Over time, she was believed to be the goddess of the desert.
"My lord, this goddess is a real existence. Every few years or hundreds of years, she will perform miracles to help the lost in the desert return safely. Only those who believe in her can save themselves from danger." Little Jim He took out an ornament from his clothes, on which was engraved a small idol, "This is the idol of the desert goddess Tethaniel, although it is only a small god under the throne of the God of Light, but in this black prison desert, She is the real god. If you really want to go to the desert, please be sure to wear this kind of goddess statue and get the blessing of the goddess. I only need ten amethyst coins for this high-level god statue... "
Hearing that Little Jim was selling products again, Chen Rui shook his head and said no: "You all believe in the goddess Tessanelle? So is there a Church of Light in Tolia?"
"Only the Royal Capital has the Church's Temple of Light, but the Goddess of the Desert is a god under the God of Light, and this place is located on the edge of the desert. The Church of the Royal Capital also recognizes that this belief does not conflict."
Illumination church admits? Chen Rui was a little more curious about this so-called desert goddess.
According to Little Jim, it is rumored that there are many treasures left in the Red Fighting Kingdom, and the key breakthrough is in the Dream Oasis. Many adventurers once flocked to it, but unfortunately not only found nothing, but most of the treasure hunters will never return. The heat has also been greatly reduced, and instead, the dangerous name of the Black Prison Desert has since spread.
Little Jim finally mentioned the relevant information about the Dream Oasis—the Dream Oasis is actually active! In other words, this oasis does not have a fixed location, but moves at any time like a living thing.
Chen Rui frowned secretly. The Hell Desert is as huge as the ocean, and the environment is so harsh that the magic map cannot be used. Finding a small oasis in such a huge area is as difficult as finding an unknown island in the sea of death almost.
It's about Dodo's safety, and I have learned from the experience that I almost went astray in the waters of the Storm Island, so Chen Rui didn't dare to take it seriously, and asked, "Little Jim, is there any guide in Tolia City who can find the Dream Oasis?"
"My lord, you... you want to find the treasure of the fantasy oasis?" Little Jim showed surprise, "It is said that the location of the oasis is in the core of the Black Prison Desert, let alone finding the oasis, even if you enter the core area, no one It can be done. In addition to the terrible sandstorms, there are vicious sand bandits on the road. Those sand bandits attack towns from time to time, looting food and property, and the city of Tolia was attacked last month."
"You don't have to worry about the reason why I'm looking for Dream Oasis, you just need to answer." There was another black crystal coin in Chen Rui's hand.
Prices in such a small place are much lower than those in big cities. A black crystal coin is already quite an astonishingly huge amount of money. Little Jim swallowed involuntarily, but shook his head regretfully: "Although I I want this money very much, but unfortunately I really don’t know.”
"It seems that my luck is not good." Chen Rui didn't look at Little Jim, but just looked around, put away the black crystal coins, asked about the location of the hotel in the city, walked straight, and soon disappeared behind Little Jim in sight.
Little Jim saw Chen Rui go far away, looked around, walked slowly into the alley next to him, then turned east and west, seemed to relax, and ran forward quickly. Suddenly, his foot tripped over something, and he fell heavily to the ground. The small bag in his hand blurted out, and the pain was so painful that he couldn't be afraid for a while.
Immediately afterwards, several pairs of old cowhide boots appeared in sight, and at the same time a voice that was most unwilling to hear rang out: "Little Jim, you are fucking fast."
Little Jim endured the pain, looked up at the swollen face, and said with an apologetic smile, "Master Pino, I'm just worried about Papa Lal. Recently, the old guy has relapsed."
The big man who came with Pino shouted, "Don't pretend to be stupid! I heard from old Kaili, the cake seller, did you meet a stranger just now and made a lot of money?"
"Old Kaili was dizzy, so I sold him a mirror and got a few white crystal coins..."
Before he finished speaking, Pino stepped on his right hand tightly with one foot: "How dare you pretend!"
Pino pushed hard, and Little Jim finally let go of his clenched right hand. The sweat-stained amethyst coin slipped out from between his fingers, and Pino snatched it in his hand.
"That's my money for Dad's treatment! Give it back to me!" Little Jim struggled to get up, trying to get back the amethyst coin.
"Where did that outsider go? Tell me, and I'll give it back to you."
Little Jim thought of the scene where Chen Rui crushed the amethyst coin, and replied: "The hotel."
"Come on, let's go to the hotel." Pino waved to his accomplice.
Little Jim was in a hurry: "Give me back the money!"
"Fuck you!" Pino turned around and kicked little Jim's thin body into the wall.
"Brother Pino," an accomplice at the side suggested, "Over there at the hotel... go to the bottom first?"
"En." Pino weighed the amethyst coin in his hand, "If you want to do it, you have to be as clean as last time. If that guy is not strong..."
Pino grinned grimly, and made a knife-like stroke with his hand, and scratched his neck, who would have thought that this stroke actually spurted out blood. Pino was startled, and didn't realize what had happened until he felt a sharp pain in his throat and his hands were full of his own blood. He immediately covered his neck, and let out a "Hehe" sound of panic from his throat.
This weird scene looked like a cold joke, but no one could laugh out loud. At this moment, a voice rang out: "Are you looking for me?"
Everyone realized that there was one more person around at some point, and at the same time, a chill rose from everyone's heart, and their limbs seemed to be frozen, unable to move.
Little Jim got up and looked at the "outsider" who had given him money in the same horror.
"Who are you! Pino's brother-in-law is the captain of the city's defense force, if you dare..."
"It turned out to be a family of officials and bandits. It seems that you are all veterans of killing and stealing goods. Since you dare to kill, you must have the consciousness of being killed." Chen Rui flicked his finger. Under the horrified eyes of Little Jim, everyone including Pino The bodies of the four burly men instantly shattered into dust-like particles and disappeared without a trace, not even a trace of blood left.
Only the amethyst coin that Pino took away automatically floated in front of little Jim, but the young man was frightened by the scene just now, so he didn't dare to take it for a while.
"Little Jim, it seems that I am not the one who is unlucky, but you." Chen Rui shook his head: "Actually, I saw it earlier, you didn't tell the truth, the person I'm looking for, isn't it... the pull in your mouth?" Papa?"
Little Jim trembled, and Chen Rui smiled slightly: "Let's go, go to your house, I forgot to tell you that besides killing people, I can also save people, as long as your old man is alive, I can save him. "
