The previous generation summoner of the magic lamp established a kingdom overnight with three wishes, and later gained immortality, but even so, he could not revive his deceased lover because his three wishes had been exhausted.
In order to resurrect the queen, the summoner of the previous generation secretly built an underground pyramid, and at the same time brutally arrested the Chinese to pass the test passage, hoping to find the next summoner with a pure heart, so as to help him realize his wish to resurrect the late queen.
This may be the reason why the Seventh Dynasty collapsed so quickly at the beginning... The king continued to let the people die tragically for the sake of the "fourth wish". After a long time, there will probably be rebels among the people.
In fact, the so-called countries in that era were not that big. They were not so much countries as modern city-states... Since they can be established in the desert overnight, they can also be destroyed overnight.
In other words, if Otto was the previous summoner, then he probably knew about the underground pyramid early in the morning, and even knew where the magic lamp was placed.
…
In fact, the desert at night is not suitable for traveling, but it is not suitable for wandering near the exit just after escaping from the mob camp.
Although Aria has already had a complete stalemate with everyone on the matter of collecting tolls, the principle of doing things after collecting money is nothing to say. Although it is quite unpleasant, as a guide in the desert, his professional knowledge really comes in handy. Useful.
After riding a camel for a long distance, Aria found a few dilapidated, empty houses built of mud and rocks in the desert.
"It's too cold now, and the vision is not good. It's easy to go back and rest here, and don't hurry until dawn."
no comment.
Aria started to live, and then distributed drinking water and food to everyone. After that, he took the gun and all the supplies, took the camel, and hid in the next room by himself.
"What a suspicious guy!" Claudia said bitterly, but she also knew in her heart that since the relationship has become so rigid, Aria's actions at this time are naturally understandable... To be honest, if it was her, Presumably it will do the same thing.
Claudia took half a bottle of water and a bag of dry food, and hid herself in a corner of the room, eating in silence. Ever since she started her journey, Claudia has never taken the initiative to talk to Boss Luo.
At this moment, something flashed out of the room, and Claudia jumped up suddenly in fright. It turned out to be a pale yellow lizard with a generation of lime gray.
Most women naturally have a little fear of this kind of reptile life... Just as Claudia screamed, Mr. Otto suddenly shook his hand, and a cold light flashed, which turned out to be a small dagger.
Just like a clown performing flying knife stunts in a circus, the gleaming dagger blade directly inserted into the lizard's head, nailing it to the ground.
Mr. Otto came, stepped on the lizard's body, pulled out the dagger, and said calmly, "This is a king lizard, a unique lizard species here. But this one is not an adult, so it is not very harmful."
"Scared... scared me to death." Claudia let out a breath slowly, then looked at Mr. Otto feelingly, and suddenly felt that this man with a vicissitudes of life seemed to be quite reliable, at least better than someone else. The little boy from the East is much better.
"I often walk around in the desert, so I will encounter it, it's not a big deal." Mr. Otto shook his head slightly.
Claudia said: "I didn't expect your throwing knife to be so powerful, and ordinary people can't do it at all."
Mr. Otto said indifferently: "It's just more practice time, practice makes perfect... You can do it too, as long as you are willing to spend more time."
Claudia shook her head. If she had the time, she would rather overcome a few more math problems. Of course, the premise is that she can safely leave the desert and return to a civilized society.
"Where is Mr. Otto from?" Unknowingly, Claudia approached Mr. Otto and began to ask some questions curiously.
She seemed to have forgotten that in the house, Boss Luo, who was arranging the fire, was using normal methods with great interest to make the fire more intense.
He had learned some knowledge of survival in the wild before. When he was a child, his father took him to a certain army camp in the summer. What he learned was that this knowledge was generally unnecessary.
"This fire is just right." Mr. Otto said suddenly, "It's just right for grilling meat."
Where does the meat come from here... The only source of meat is naturally that the meat of the king lizard that was stabbed to death on the ground is edible. This has been eaten and used in public by a man who claims to be the strongest on the surface , but also eaten raw.
I saw that Mr. Otto used a dagger to peel off the skin of the King Lizard, and then cut out strips of meat, skewered them on dead branches, and started roasting.
"Its protein content is higher than these dry foods, and we need to replenish more energy." Mr. Otto said while grilling the lizard meat.
Claudia probably had a hard time accepting this kind of meat. At this time, she looked at it suspiciously, but it was probably because of the sense of reliability Otto gave along the way. When the lizard meat was roasted and delivered, she Still bite the bullet and ate it.
There is no seasoning, and the meat cannot be softened. It is simply roasted, and the taste is naturally not good... It's just that in this difficult and dangerous environment, there is a special sweet smell of oil when eating.
Boss Luo also took a sip, nodded and said, "The heat is really well controlled, and Mr. Otto also likes to cook?"
"When you're bored, you always need to find something to pass the time." Mr. Otto said indifferently.
Boss Luo said, "Mr. Otto, he often travels around the world to inspect cultural relics and historic sites...do you feel bored?"
"Need to rest!" Claudia rolled her eyes when she looked at Boss Luo, "Whoever has nothing to do goes around the world every day, and always needs a time to rest... Find something to do during the rest, to relax, isn't it normal?"
"That's right." Boss Luo smiled slightly, then stood up, "I'll go outside to pick up some dry branches and come back."
"Up to you." Claudia shrugged casually.
Mr. Otto didn't say much, he just said that it was cold outside, so he gave Boss Luo a coat to put on, fearing that he would be in danger, so he handed him a dagger for self-defense.
…
"You don't have to be so nice to this guy!" Claudia shook her head at this time, and said in a low voice after Boss Luo went out.
"Did you quarrel?" Mr. Otto smiled and said, "Why?"
Claudia said indifferently: "I don't like being with selfish people... Originally, I didn't know him very well."
Mr. Otto naturally knew that when Aria made things difficult, Luo Qiu insisted on not giving money... He looked at Claudia and said, "I'm not familiar... If you're not familiar, why did you come to the desert with him?"
"Because of some other reasons." Claudia shook her head and said with a sigh of relief: "Now that I think about it, am I crazy? I just met him for a few days, and I followed him to such a ghostly place... I It's really crazy!"
"Perhaps there are other reasons why he insisted not to pay Aliya the travel fee." Mr. Otto thought for a while.
"What's the reason?" Claudia muttered dissatisfied.
"Perhaps... Even without Aria's supplies and guidance, he still has a way to take you out of the desert." Mr. Otto said abruptly, "He has good physical fitness, and he seems to know the skills of survival in the wild."
"This guy has good physical strength? Such a thin person?" Claudia said in disbelief: "It looks like a young master who is used to being served! And he is stingy!"
"Life requires more observation." Mr. Otto shook his head: "The eyes will deceive your first perception... Some people, some things, you can only know their essence after getting along for a long time."
Claudia disapproved, shook her head and said, "Maybe... young people will become mature when they grow up, and experience will teach him many things, but that will be many years later... But there is no way to mature after many years Solve the current problem."
"It's not a bad thing to be patient." Mr. Otto smiled.
Claudia snorted softly, and seemed to open the conversation: "If a woman gives a man patience... who will give a woman time? A woman's body, youth, and appearance are all ready-made... Men, don't they always like ready-made things? ?”
"Mostly." Mr. Otto didn't deny it, and said in a low voice: "Give women time... But even if you give women time, the seemingly eternal togetherness will come to an end."
The topic of discussion at the beginning didn't seem to be like this... Claudia was stunned, feeling as if she had been led astray, she couldn't help shaking her head and said, "What do you want to do so much? After decades, you and I will be the same. into ashes."
"That's right... you will still face death after all." Mr. Otto nodded, "No one, except."
Claudia rubbed her forehead, guessing that she had been frightened and experienced a lot all day, and she was mentally exhausted. She yawned and said, "This topic is obviously not suitable to continue talking in this environment... we should rest more, add Get your strength!"
"Your friend hasn't come back yet. I'll wait for him." Mr. Otto smiled and said, "If you're sleepy, go to bed first. I'll watch the fire."
Before going to sleep, Claudia seemed to think of something, and after a little hesitation, she took out the weird oil lamp she got from the pyramid from her backpack.
"This is?" Mr. Otto was slightly startled at this moment.
Claudia said casually: "I found this in the pyramid. Those thugs seem to want this thing... It is probably very valuable. I can't ask you to help me with the travel expenses, but I don't have that much either. The money can be returned to you... This thing, let's treat it as a gift for you. "
Mr. Otto did not refuse, but silently accepted it.
Claudia said again at this time: "Beforehand, I don't know if this thing is very valuable. It may be just a piece of junk and worthless. But it may also be a valuable cultural relic, a priceless treasure. I will give it to You, no matter it is worth or not, the one million I owe you will be evened out. As for the guy's travel expenses, if you want it, ask him for it yourself!"
"Don't you regret it?" Mr. Otto asked abruptly, "Maybe it is really valuable, even a priceless treasure. After all, so many people died for it... Besides, I didn't say that you must pay me back the travel expenses." , you can pretend to be silent and wait until you leave the desert.”
"One is one, two is two." Claudia frowned, "I'm not used to owing others things. As I said, even if this thing is a priceless treasure, neither party can regret it after tonight. For this thing A lot of people died, obviously it’s not a good thing, and it might bring misfortune... Besides, there are probably a lot of souvenir shops in the city for this thing, so it’s possible that you can call out a blue fat elf if you can wipe it, Give you three wishes?"
Mr. Otto said indifferently: "Maybe it's really possible."
Claudia shook her head, "You can take it seriously, anyway, I've been holding it for so long, not to mention the elves, not a single mosquito flew out... Just be happy."
Mr. Otto was silent for a while, looking at the oil lamp in his hand, not knowing what to think... And in his silence, Claudia fell asleep due to being too tired.
…
…
She woke up because she heard something... She is a person who is particularly easy to wake up.
The sound came from the crackling of burning dead branches.
Claudia opened her eyes, and saw Luo Qiu sitting in front of the fire adding dead branches... But she didn't see Mr. Otto.
She had no choice but to frown. Since the exit, she watched Boss Luo speak for the first time: "Where's Mr. Otto?"
"Not here." Luo Qiu said casually, "When I came back, he was already gone."
"Not here? Could it be that it's convenient..." Claudia frowned, and asked immediately, "How long have you been back?"
"It's been about half an hour." Luo Qiu looked at the time, "I saw you were asleep, so I didn't wake you up."
"Large half an hour?" Claudia quickly sat up and looked at the place where Mr. Otto had been staying... There was nothing left, except for the unfinished, a few dried sticks with lizard meat on them. outside the branch.
"It's impossible for him to leave for so long without a reason, right?" Claudia looked at Luo Qiu vigilantly, then quickly got up... and ran out in a hurry.
Boss Luo didn't care either. After breaking off a dead branch and throwing it into the fire, he took out a book and lit it to read [Songgelin's Fairy Tale].
This is actually Mr. Pullin's [Grimm's Fairy Tale], but Boss Luo borrowed it from Mr. Pullin, and Mr. Pullin gave it quite readily.
Not long after, Claudia hurried back with a slightly panicked expression, "Aria is gone too! The camels, water and food are all gone! He left us! But Mr. Otto …”
But Mr. Otto was gone too!
Suddenly, Claudia thought of two possibilities. The first is that Luo Qiu killed Mr. Otto and Aria while he was asleep, and hid the water and supplies...but obviously he didn't do that. Motivation to do.
Then the second type.
Otto went with Aria, and took all the water and food... But, why did they do that
"What the hell happened?" Claudia sat down weakly, only feeling a huge sense of fear, even though there was a strong fire in front of her, she still felt cold, "What time is it, you... You are still in the mood to read? Hmm... where did you get the book?"
Not paying attention to Claudia's last question, Boss Luo closed the fairy tale book and said calmly, "Then Claudia, what do you think we should do next?"
"Of course it's catching up!" Claudia said angrily, "Why are you doing this! Since you came back a long time ago and found that Otto was gone, don't you have any idea at all? Have you ever traveled far before? ?!"
After speaking, Claudia went out directly, but it was pitch black outside, and there was no road in the desert... Who knows which direction Aria and Mr. Otto are heading.
"Otherwise, let's go this way." Boss Luo picked up a torch and came out, pointing to the stars in the sky and said... Polaris.
