Since there is an epic mission, the research will be put aside for now.
Research can be carried out at any time, but most tasks have time limits. If you miss it, you will miss it.
Roland packed up his things for the long trip and stuffed them into the system backpack. Because there was no teleportation magic circle in Urganda, the goddess of magic now only spread the magic circle around the Kingdom of France and the Kingdom of Hollevan.
In addition, Roland does not have the spatial coordinates of Urganda, so under normal circumstances, he can only fly there.
Roland's white cloud flying skills can be large or small, and can carry many people. Bringing four camels and four men was no problem at all.
But there are still trouble spots.
Nia is going to follow.
"Mother asked me to follow you." Nia put her hands on her hips and said dissatisfiedly: "If I can't stay near you and return to the Kingdom of God in the future, how will I explain to my mother."
"No." Andonara said sullenly from the side: "I can't even follow you, how can you do it?"
"But..." Nia looked at Andonara, feeling a little scared for some reason.
It is obvious that he is an angel, and it is obvious that he is so much older, but he just does not have the courage to be tough with Anna.
Roland smiled and said: "The goddess of life asked you to come down just to show a gesture to the other gods. You don't have to be so serious. Why don't you and Anna go to Wetland City for a stroll."
"Aren't you afraid that those lichs will come and cause trouble?" Anna asked.
"Now they can't protect themselves."
Roland smiled happily.
Now he feels more and more the benefits of having money.
In the past, if you encountered an organization like the Lich, it would have been very difficult for you to keep Delbon City, the manor and the magic tower here.
But it's different now.
The state-owned 'Phoenix Guild' in Hoolevan hunts down enemies all over the place.
Over in the north, the Frostwolf clan was cleaning the lich camp like crazy.
In this situation of internal and external worries, if the lichs can still spare their manpower to attack Delbon City, then these lichs will probably be able to easily defeat the Hollevan Kingdom.
"Then let's go for a walk." Andonara's eyes were bright.
She didn't go to Wetland City that often, but the prosperity there really left a deep impression on her.
The most important thing is that there are many female golden sons out there who have a world-wide understanding of matching clothes and makeup.
Even the elves can't compare to them.
Give DeLorean a change of style and flavor.
Nia started to drool as she thought of the delicious food in Wetland City.
"Then let's go together." Nia nodded with difficulty.
The foodie instinct eventually overshadowed the persistence of responsibility.
Now that they had a common purpose, Andonara was no longer 'hostile' to Nia, and the two of them went into the inner room to change clothes.
Women have one set of clothes for living, one set of clothes for sleeping, and hundreds of sets of clothes for going out.
Dressing up and changing takes quite a while.
Roland walked to the manor and said to the four red sand people: "Now I will go to Urganda with you and visit your village. But the problem is, I don't like to waste too much time on the road. , so this time, we are flying.”
The four red sand citizens looked at each other.
"Bring your camels here."
Although the four people didn't know why, they still did it.
Then Roland flicked his fingers, and a large white cloud, about ten meters long and wide, spread on the ground.
Roland walked up first and said, "Come up, with your camels."
The four red sand people did not dare to move. They used their eyes to signal to each other that their companions should go up first.
This is normal.
The mage is originally the spokesperson of "mystery" among ordinary people.
They are moody, and when they are unhappy, they turn people into frogs, apples, and magic mirrors.
Very scary.
Who knows if this white cloud is magic that can turn people into cactus.
"Please hurry up, my time is precious." Roland urged.
When a person's status is high, his words will have more weight.
People from lower classes can even figure out the meaning and deeper meaning of these words.
Roland was obviously not angry, but to the four people, it sounded like Roland was going to be angry.
It's the calm before the storm... and to the people of the Red Sands, it's the harbinger of the desert storm.
The four of them were trembling with fear and immediately pulled the camels onto Baiyun.
After the four of them walked to the middle and stood still, Roland flicked his fingers again, and the white clouds floated up, and then flew in the direction of Urganda.
Because of the barrier protection, you won't feel the violent airflow even when flying high in the sky.
But having your feet off the ground is not a good experience for most ground creatures.
The four people and the four camels were so frightened that they sat down and did not dare to move.
But humans are intelligent creatures after all, and their ability to accept is much stronger.
After about half an hour, their mood finally calmed down a lot.
Finally I dare to appreciate the scenery beyond the white clouds and the scenery in the distance.
After another half hour, they dared to stand on the edge of the white clouds, holding on to the translucent barrier, looking at the land, rivers and forests passing by under their feet.
Flying turns out to be such a pleasant thing
They had even seen the place where they had stayed for the previous two days, and the corner of the winding river. They even saw the black marks left by the bonfire.
How long has it been and they are already here... It took them more than two days to get to Delbon City from here, but it only took more than an hour for the mage.
This is the power of the mage!
Mysterious and magical.
They looked at Roland in awe, and also looked at him with envy.
The white clouds continued to fly, and after three hours, they officially arrived at the border, and then flew over the high East Longji Mountains. In front of them was the boundless red desert area of Urganda.
If it falls on the ground, the sand in Urganda will also be yellow, but because there is a strange red dust in the sand here, the amount is not much, and it is not obvious when mixed with the yellow sand.
But when the wind... blew up, from a distance, the entire desert sky was red.
Therefore Urganda is also called the Red Sand Sea.
The residents here are called red sand people.
Roland hovered the white cloud and asked the four of them: "Which direction is your village?"
The four of them pointed to the northeast at the same time.
Discerning directions in the desert is an essential skill for all sand people.
It is a talent for survival, just like the fishermen on the coast who hold their breath longer on average than the inland residents.
After flying for nearly four hours, at four o'clock in the afternoon, close to evening, a black spot appeared at the end of the desert.
The four of them got excited and pointed there and shouted: "It's coming, it's coming."
Roland accelerated the flying speed of Bai Yun, and soon he reached the sky above this black spot, which was a quite large village.
There are more than 300 sand houses alone, and there is an oasis next to them.
Not far to the left of the oasis, there is a colorful flash of light dancing, like a sea of colored light formed by countless glasses reflecting sunlight.
This area is quite large, at least larger than the village.
Roland instigated the white clouds to descend and fall outside the village.
In fact, this huge white cloud had been discovered by the villagers below, and it even caused a certain amount of panic.
But after the white clouds came down, they found their own tribe, and then they felt relieved, and a large group of people rushed out of the village.
Roland dismissed the white clouds, and five people and four camels landed on the ground.
The four red sand people were very happy. They wanted to take the camel back to the village, but the camel was flown for several hours and their legs were so frightened that they refused to get up until now.
The four of them pulled for a while, but they couldn't pull it anymore, so they gave up.
After the villagers rushed out, they surrounded Roland and others without saying a word.
They dare not speak.
The magic robe Roland wore had magic light patterns flowing on it, which was the best proof of identity.
No one wants to offend the mage casually, especially ordinary people, who almost dare not talk to the mage.
Finally, an old man pushed aside the crowd. He walked up to Roland, bowed down humbly, and said slowly: "Excuse me, your Excellency the mage, are you here to solve the problems in our village?"
"Indeed. Are you the village chief here?"
"Yes. Your distinguished mage, what do you need from us?"
"What can you give me?"
Roland didn't think he should help them for free. It didn't matter how much or how little money they had. They had to at least show something.
Unilateral selfless help is a very bad behavior. It will make the village run into trouble in the future, so it just wants others to help for free.
Just like poverty alleviation, if you give money directly, you will definitely not be able to lift them out of poverty. The reaction will make them more comfortable with a life of poverty.
If something similar happens in the end, they will most likely want others to help them selflessly.
When you meet someone who is easy to talk to, you can only curse a few words and then leave.
If you encounter someone with a bad temper, you will probably deal with the employer on the spot.
"We don't have much money anymore, and the only ones who can make a difference are the young girls in the village. If you like it, Mr. Master, just pick two or three to take away."
In Urganda, women's possessions and beautiful women are important and valuable possessions.
If feudal countries like Hollevan and France still cover up and whitewash the fact that women are property, then Urganda is nakedly promoting it.
Roland waved his hand: "I have a lot of women at home, let's change to something else."
"But..." The village chief was very embarrassed: "We really can't find anything else."
"Then let's get your specialties." Roland said with a smile, "The more, the better."
The village chief thought for a while, then bent down: "As you wish."
"Now, can you tell me what's going on with those gleaming glass seas behind the village?"
Talking about those glass seas, the whole village looked ugly.
The village chief sighed and spoke slowly.
Originally, their village relied on the small oasis next to it and lived a prosperous and peaceful life.
They have lived here for more than three hundred years for generations.
But in the first two months, something changed suddenly.
A woman who went out to 'gather insects' discovered something strange.
The so-called insect food actually means catching small scorpions, desert centipedes, beetles and other small animals.
Used to supplement the body's protein.
The woman discovered that in the sea of sand behind the village, many beautiful, colorful prismatic gemstones, many long and stripy, suddenly appeared.
Although women all love sparkling things, she is also a red sand person. There is a tradition here: Never touch strange things in the desert that you have never seen before. No one knows whether it is a gift from the gods or a devil from hell. trap.
When the woman came back, she told her story and the whole village went to see it.
It was indeed a gem, with an area of just over 100 square meters at that time.
Some people wanted to pick it, but they were stopped by the village chief.
To test whether the gems were dangerous, they threw some small animals into them.
As a result, as soon as these animals entered it, they immediately crystallized and turned into something like glass.
At this point, no matter how stupid anyone is, they know there is something wrong with these gems.
After that, these gems continued to grow and expand in scope. In less than two months, they had increased hundreds of thousands of times in size and were pressing towards the village.
If they were villagers from other countries, they would probably have fled overnight.
But in Urganda, villagers living in the desert know that a stable supply of water is a must if they want to survive in this harsh environment.
Without the oasis and the small lake next to the village, they would be completely destroyed within three days in the desert.
They also want to escape, but the question is where to escape
Other oases will not accept foreign villagers casually, and the same goes for big cities.
Because the amount of water in each water source or oasis has an upper limit.
Just a little water a year is enough for so many people to live.
If you go there, you will have to occupy other people's living space. Most local residents are not willing to let you do this.
So they could only wait and hope that the sea of gems wouldn't expand so fast.
If the lake in the oasis is invaded by the Gem Sea, then this village will be doomed.
Roland nodded to show that he understood: "You go and prepare the local specialties first. I'll go over there and have a look."
After finishing speaking, he summoned a small white cloud. It flew up with him and landed behind the village.
In front of you is a huge gem mine that can blind people's eyes... In the sun, countless colorful light spots shine, and under the distortion of the air, it even gives people a feeling of movement.
Roland opened the system vision and looked at these gems like prismatic pillars.
Item: Magic Crystal
Effect: A magic condensate affected by rule-level magic can be used for magic experiments, but due to its very unstable nature, the price/performance ratio is very low.
Roland has also seen descriptions of this kind of magic crystal in books.
All descriptions say that it is a crystal with special energy, but because the elemental magic inside is too mixed, no mage is willing to purify these things.
Not worth it, a waste of time and magic.
Wouldn't it be better if I had that time to condense the magic in the air
Roland followed the Gem Sea, feeling the chaotic magic in the air, and frowned slightly.
These magical powers are difficult to control, even if he has special talents, it is difficult to mobilize them.
Moreover, these things are expanding, which means there must be an 'energy source' in them.
Roland dropped three magic spiders.
Because it is formed by magic power, this sea of gems is also a product of magic power, so the three magic spiders were not affected in any way, but their speed increased a bit.
The three spiders conducted a carpet-like search, and then found a black cave in the middle of the Gem Sea.
It looks very, very deep.
"Why do you like digging holes?"
Roland complained.
But in fact, he forgot that he also used fossils to dig holes for mud magic to hide from enemies.
If you can dig it yourself, others can't
Typical double standards.
