Ah snee
General McClass, who was standing at the door of the tent, sneezed, and accidentally bit his teeth and sprayed the cigarette butt on his mouth into the sand.
After rubbing his nose that was sunburned, he glanced at the cigarette stuck on the ground and cursed.
……Oh shit.
Although this was a perfect plan, McClass still felt a little frustrated when he thought that he was a two-star ten thousand men and a noble sky conqueror who had fallen to be a contractor in the desert.
And for some reason.
From the beginning, he felt a chill on his back.
This feeling happened two or three months ago, and not long after that, his baby's propeller of the Iron Heart swept into a hydrogen balloon that floated from somewhere.
Until now, he is still not sure which dog put the balloon...
Increase patrol efforts!McClane looked at the newly promoted commander on the side and gave an order with a dark face. The search range expanded from 3 kilometers to 5 kilometers. Anyone who approached was arrested and everyone who resisted was shot and killed!
The officer standing beside him stood up straight and saluted.
yes!
Watching the officer who was trotting away, General McCross stepped on the cigarette butt and crushed it with his boots, then walked to the north of the camp with his hands on his back.
The runway at the airport is under construction.
There is no forklift, you can only dig with shovels and use wheelbarrows and trucks to carry the earth.
The land here is severely desertified. In order to prevent the ground from collapse when the plane lands, the runway must be solidified.
More than 50 troops patrolled the edge of the runway while supervising the construction of the entourage.
More than a thousand entourages were bathed in the scorching sun, digging earth with their naked upper body.
Looking at the bare arms and shoulders, McClell cleared his throat and shouted, raising his voice.
The August sun is like a burning stove. I know you are dizzy and tired of your limbs... But it is better to be roasted by the sun here than to go to the front line and be roasted into coke by white phosphorus, and burned by gasoline.
That is the encounter of your friendly forces. Your enemies will torture you in the cruelest way, so you must fight and move forward. This is the only way for you to survive.Thank you for pointing out a clear way for you. You don’t have to become slaves to the kings or be puppets of the business. The suffering you endure today will be returned to our enemies a hundred times tomorrow.
They will repent in the flames, turn into ashes under the high temperature of tens of millions of degrees, and be crushed into scum by our anger!
Work harder!
Get moving!
Seeing those people digging harder, McClellan nodded with satisfaction and turned around and walked back to the barracks.
If a bucket of ice cream was available at this time, it would be perfect. It would be better for Princess Teresa to feed him... No, she was caught by the barbarians and was already dirty. It would be better to go to the old king's harem after the war was over.
His interest in women is actually average, after all, it is too easy for him to get that kind of thing.
However, those ice creams are rare things produced in the alpine pastures on the Sorat River, and even tens of thousands of kilometers away, they are specially provided for the nobles.
With the unlucky guy in Finode, those natives should know its value.
I hope those local buns don’t keep them alive…
……
The sunset has already set in the sky.
Under the shadow of the wooden wine barrel, a black and white cat yawned lazily and licked his claws.
At this time, a small fish swayed in front of him.
Smelling the salty scent, the cat narrowed its amber pupils and walked up the elegant cat.
He mumbled politely at the dried fish. He was good at observing his words and expressions and saw that the servant had no objection, so he started to speak unceremoniously.
Obviously, it has become accustomed to people's feeding... or offerings.
It seems that the old man named Buma is right. Everyone here likes cats so much that the cats here live a leisurely life and are not afraid of people at all.
Squin~
Gently rumbled the back of the warm and fluffy head, listening to the comfortable purring, the sesame squatting on the ground, the eyes were filled with crescents, and the cat's ears were swaying leisurely, with satisfaction on his face.
The burly white bear squatted beside her, looking at the little guy on the ground curiously.
By the way, have cats on the entire wasteland come here?
Well, it's really weird to say. I haven't seen a cat any other place... I've seen a dog.Sesame paste said carefully.
Seeing that the cat had food, drinks and people were serving him, his fleshy face showed an envious expression.
Damn, I want to rua too...
Yes, but you have to be careful, your paws are too big, don't hurt it.The sesame paste moved to the side and gave the Rouru some seat.
Hehe, don’t worry, I’m so careful when I’m petting my cat!
He rubbed his claws excitedly, and carefully stretched out his bear claws.
However, before her paws were placed on the cat, the cat was frightened and made a sound of drinking.
Ruo Rou looked helpless and quickly took back her paws.
She was about to explain that she had no malice, but the cat had no intention of listening. She bit the dried fish and hurriedly turned around and slipped into the shadow under the alley.
Looking at the cat disappearing in the alley, his fleshy face was filled with depression and grievance.
Well...I'm so scary.
Sesame Moe didn't know how to comfort her, but when she saw the expression that was about to cry, she couldn't leave it alone, so she could only clap her hands and stand up with laughter and cry.
Touched the broad and furry shoulders.
How could it be, the meat is so cute... Maybe it has never seen a talking bear before.
People here are superstitious, but their tolerance for unknown things is unexpectedly high.
Even if you see a talking bear, their reaction is that your bear can actually speak, rather than shouting a monster!When you mention the guy, you will beat him.
It may not only be because there are many strange things in the wasteland, but also because the locals often engage in trade activities, so they are no longer surprised by some strange things.
For example, the cactus hotel next to them.
The waiter at the front desk was an old bionic man, and he was so old that his skin had faded.
It is said that during the prosperity era, it was at the front desk of the resort hotel twenty kilometers away, and later it was sent to the scrap disposal center when it reached its service life.
Before it could be scrapped, the Battle of Doomsday broke out, it stayed on the assembly line of the abandoned factory for nearly two centuries until it was picked up by the owner of this hotel decades ago, and it was not until it returned to its old business.
Its actual working time has far exceeded its design service life, so that it always says strange things, occasionally offends guests, and always stares in a daze from time to time, staying for a long time.
Whenever this happens, the hotel owner will come out to register the customer's information on it.
...I remember when I first saw it, I was 7 years old, but now I am almost 47 years old. Think about it, time passes so quickly.
Yes.Sis, who was waiting in front of the bar, nodded and replied casually.
47 years old.
This age is considered a long life in the wasteland.
She vaguely remembers who said that according to the settings in the game, the average life expectancy of NPCs in this world is only 35 years old, and most people will encounter unexpected surprises in their 20s.
Flipping through the shabby notepad, the boss rubbed his index finger on it, suddenly showing an awkward expression, and said with apology.
Sorry, guests, there are a lot of people staying in the hotel recently, and there is only one double room left... How about changing one of the rooms to a queen-bed room?
Before Sce could answer, Tail came over excitedly and raised his right hand with great enthusiasm.
oh!no problem!Tail sleeps with Ss!
Sis coughed gently.
Then...a double room and a queen-bed room are ready.
As she said that, she put a few golden camel coins worth 10 on the table. She exchanged some change for the spoils she had plundered from the raiders in the market. Now their savings are about six or seven hundred.
Daily expenses are sufficient.
Staying in a hotel is quite cheap, with 9 gold camel coins in a room, and even a large piece of rye bread for breakfast.
I heard that if you are not picky about the accommodation environment, you can even have a room with 2 gold catcoins a day, and the grocery room where the servants sleep is also provided to guests.
As for renting a garage, it is a little expensive, but it is only 15 gold coins a day, and only 300 yuan a month.
This also made Sis scream.
A volume of scenic spot map plus a travel booklet about the customs and customs, it was sold for a nine-day room price!
No wonder the boss couldn't count and put her purse that she threw at the stall into her arms.
80 golden camel coins also made him earn at least 40!
It's sloppy!
The key to the double room gave sesame paste and meat, and Sis took his tail to the upstairs.
Passing by the corridor.
She saw a bearded man and a woman with a sad face standing by the window on the second floor.
The man was wearing a gray linen shirt, and he looked like he had been a soldier, or at least had a caravan guard, and he was the kind of leader.
The woman in front of him was wearing a beige dress, with slightly curly brown hair, a pretty face, and a slightly raised belly as if she had just been pregnant.
...There will always be a solution. I heard that someone is hiring sailors in Yinyue City. At worst, I can go there to try my luck.
But... what should I do with my child?There is a trace of sadness in the woman's eyes.
... The man was silent and didn't say anything, obviously he had no choice.
The woman hesitated for a while, as if she had made up her mind and took off the ring on her ring finger.
Or you can take it and see if you can change it...
The man hurriedly held her hand.
Don't do this... Let me think of other ways.
Sis looked at the two of them and guessed that they should have fled from Oasis No. 9 or Oasis No. 3, and had spent all their savings after arriving here.
Just as Sce looked at the two of them, the man also noticed the two girls walking up the stairs, and hesitated for a moment before walking forward.
Madam, I'm sorry to bother you. Can you exchange some money for you?
Sis glanced at the purse in his hand, which contained golden lion coins, and there were quite a few. It was estimated that there were three or four hundred. These two seemed to be from the lion kingdom.
The man probably felt that this request was a bit abrupt, and he couldn't help but take his hands back.
He knew very well that the currency of the defeated country was worthless.
If it were a few months ago, this bag of money could be exchanged for 400 golden camel coins.
And now, it is difficult to remove two 0s. Even if he is desperate, he can't bear to let these two little girls be suckers.
However, Sce still reached out to take the money from him and stuffed him a bag of money.
The deal was completed. After the trip was over, we were planning to go to Oasis No. 9, so we didn’t have to exchange money when we got there.
Looking at the purse handed over by the girl in front of him, the man was stunned and said guiltily.
This...too many.
That heavy weight is at least 300 gold camel coins, saving enough to live for half a year.
Even some small business.
Sis weighed the wallet in his hand and said casually.
Your country has not lost yet. Those who are still resisting, their determination is worthy of this price, and take it away.
The man's Adam's apple moved, and the expression on his face was both grateful and a little ashamed.
After a brief moment of silence, he took his purse and bowed deeply.
This is the only thing he can do at this moment.
Thank you for your generosity, may the spirit of the sea of sand protect your journey.My name is Charlie... Although this is just a trivial name and is not worth remembering, if you are destined to meet again, I will repay you for your kindness to me and my wife.
I thought this guy was quite interesting, so Sce bent the corners of his mouth.
Don't take it too seriously. It's just a business. Just be nice to your wife.
The tail on the side also smiled and said.
oh!I would like to lend you auspicious words, hoping that we can find a lot of treasures on the way back!By the way, we are from the White Bear Knights. The leader is a big white bear who can talk. Please spread our legend a little more outrageously!
The man glanced at the two little girls blankly, then bowed deeply again, and returned to his wife to tell her the good news.
With the two pairs of grateful eyes watching, Ss and Tail walked towards the room deep in the corridor.
Looking at Sis who took out the key to open the door, he touched his chin and thought for a while, and suddenly he seemed to have discovered some amazing secret and spoke seriously.
Unbelievable, I didn't expect that Sis was also soft-hearted and did not suspect that the couple might be liars.
Sis replied casually without being frank.
No, I just think I may not be able to buy it if I don’t buy it. Please keep it as a souvenir...Ah By the way, this expenditure is deducted from my income, after all, it is my personal interest.
Although everyone doesn't seem to care much, she thinks it would be better to figure it out clearly.
She has seen too many guilds that we had a good relationship with each other, but the equipment that was about to be killed after two versions broke out.
Tail looked at Sce who was pushing the door open in surprise.
Alas!Will you take away the out-of-print gold coins?
Sis was stunned, then smiled and stuffed her purse into her hand.
...That's a portion of Awei.
The room environment of 9 gold catcoins is much more spacious than that of 3 gold catcoins. It not only has bright windows, a soft big bed, but also has a separate bathroom.
Petra Fortress is not in the oasis, but it is the territory of the Camel Kingdom. Freshwater is only a little expensive, but it is not scarce.
Moreover, Oasis No. 4 is different from other oasis. Not all fresh water is supplied by the river embankment. The Zhuobar River, which flows from the mountains to Silver Moon Bay, also irrigates large areas of land.
In the local slang of the Camel Kingdom, the pronunciation of Zhuobar has the meaning of greatness and mother, which is also one of the cultures formed after the Wasteland Era.
As soon as I threw down my luggage, my tail snatched into the bathroom like a gust of wind, and soon there was a rustling sound of water.
Haven't taken a shower for a month.
But she was so suffocated.
Sis walked to the window and sat down. He listened to the shouting and hawking outside the window. He put the book "Oasis under the Zhuobar Mountains" he bought for cash on his knees and began to read it carefully.
The author's name is Bai Ge, which seems to be a pseudonym. He used a few strokes to describe his life and deeds on the title page, claiming to be from the wandering swamp, and was surprised to find this pearl hidden at the foot of the mountain on this desperate land. So he gave up his employer's task, stayed in the local area, married the daughter of a fisherman, and wrote while teaching.
This book, written in the 150th year of Wasteland Age, is as famous as its author himself. It mainly records the geographical features and customs of Oasis No. 4 and the Camel Kingdom.
If the Zhubar Mountains are compared horizontally with the World House Crest in the real world, then the location of the Hump Kingdom is a bit similar to the other world version of Bengal.
However, its area is smaller, with a total area of only 80,000 square kilometers and a population of only about 1.5 million. It lives in a total of twelve city-states including Petra Fortress.
The kings here are Camel City, where one-third of the population of the entire oasis live, located in the southwest corner of the bay.
If you pass through Petra Fortress and walk south along the Dorbar River to the flood plain at the mouth of the sea, you can reach the most prosperous Silver Moon Bay in the entire oasis.
Situated on the flood plains, Silver Moon City is the most prosperous port city in the Camel Kingdom. The fragmented islands and the rivers traveling between buildings are its unique urban style.
Although the population is only 300,000, more than 70% of the kingdom's fiscal revenue comes from there.
...The locals started trade with the archipelago in the south and the Bharat province in the southwest.The bighorn cow in the desert was actually introduced from the Bharat Province by Yinyue Bay. It is said that there are fishmen with gills and big frogs that can spray acid...unbelievable.
oh!Poluo!Can you see Poluo there?Rubbing his wet hair with a towel, Tail, who had just walked out of the bathroom, heard Sis talking to himself, and immediately came over curiously.
When Sis saw her appearance, his face turned red and he reached out to pull up the curtains.
You...at least wear a dress.
The tail was proudly crossed its waist and raised the corners of its mouth fearlessly.
What does it matter!I heard that everyone lives in the dormitory without clothes!
Sis moved his gaze subtly.
...I might have been to a fake university.
After a while of naughty tail, he finally regained his integrity. He put on a T-shirt and sat obediently beside Sis, wrapping his hair with a towel, as if he was planning to wait for it to naturally suck it dry.
There are even bionic people here, but there is no hair dryer. It can only be said that it is worthy of being a wasteland.
I got to the book and stared at the illustration with my eyes shining. I wanted to find some clues about the new map from it. I went to the forum to brag about it later.
Sis coughed gently and returned to the previous topic.
It just happens that the pronunciation is very similar, and it is literally translated as the land south of the towering mountains, so I prefer to directly translate it as ‘Bara’.It feels like the location of that province is a bit like the widened Italian Peninsula.Our current fortress is like Innsbruck, Camel City is like Ravenna, Silvermoon City is like Venice... If you only look at the geographical location.
The Zhuobar Mountains extending to the southwest divide the traffic on the road, so you can only take water from Oasis No. 4 to the Bharat Province.
According to the description in the book, there are also alien species in the ocean, and it is said that the combat power has reached the level of sea monsters.
However, these xenotypes are usually only active in the deep sea and are sensitive to odors.
Locals found that these alien species hated the smell of black iron wood, so they would use wooden steamboats made of black iron wood to trade longer distances.
And in relatively shallow coastal areas, they also use iron to make boats.
The author, whose pen name is Bai Ge, has a very rigorous narrative style, and may be a researcher at the college.
Sis thought in his heart, and he held his chin with his hands and stared at the illustration's tail and suddenly sighed.
I didn't expect the world to be so big!
Yes...
Opposite the sea... I touched my chin, and my tail suddenly looked serious. Is it the enemy?
Sis was slightly stunned, then burst into laughter.
...I've been talking about the stage, Ah Wei.
hey-hey……
Tail scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly.
At this time, she suddenly saw the scroll on the bedside table, and then remembered the treasure map, so she stood up and carried it over.
Looking at the map unfolding on the ground, Sce raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Oh, it's quite big.
That's not a big loss.
oh!!The map is marked with a red cross!It's really a treasure map!
That kind of mark can be drawn with a pen.
Looking at Awei who was shocked, Sis replied casually, his eyes stayed on the map for a moment, and suddenly frowned slightly.
Her index finger subconsciously flipped the pages of the book and found a description of Lost Valley.
Whether in the materialistic sense or the idealistic sense, this ruin has a profound impact on the kingdom on this oasis.
Therefore, the book also has a considerable amount of description.
...According to the word of mouth of the local people, the God of the Sky fell there, and the burning scepter turned the plain into a valley.That is undoubtedly Oasis 7, and according to known documents, I suspect there are radioactive materials and variant slime molds... or should be said to be the residue of the curse.
I should go there to check it out, but my body can no longer stand the tossing and for the sake of my lovely son, I can only let go of my urge to take risks.Maybe one day in the future, after I have no worries, I will go there and see it. If I can repair it, it will be perfect, although I don’t have any hope.
A century and a half ago, they were living gods. If they wanted to use wrenches and kickers to solve the problem of gods, they would be more reliable than lighting a candle to pray.
After reading this, Sis can basically confirm that the author whose pen name is Bai Ge is a researcher or prospector from the college.
That pessimistic and self-deprecating tone is exactly the same as a researcher who is obsessed with coffee machines.
The more I know, the more pessimistic you are. Fortunately, you have an optimistic manager. I would have given up treatment long ago... This is the line that the NPC often says.
His eyes were frozen in a line in the book, and Sceh barely explained with his limited vocabulary based on the context.
...Titan.
Tail raised his head excitedly, and his eyes emitted an excited light.
Titan?
It's indeed a hidden mission!
Sis nodded, his eyes moved on the page, and said after a little thought.
Well... The author has collected rumors about the God of Sky. Referring to the description of the locals, he believes that it should be some kind of large land warfare equipment with frigate specifications, equipped with mobile reactors, heavy firepower and starship-class shields.
The machine waving the holy fire wrestled with the evil spirits dancing with countless long whips, and finally burned under the scepter falling from the sky... This sounded like a Transformers vs. Tentacle monster.
If the tentacle monster is understood as a mother nest, then the machine waving the sacred fire is easy to explain.
Probably similar to the Doomsday Mecha in Civilization 6, or the Iron Punch in "Titanfall".
It was not like the battle that took place during the Three Years’ War, but rather a bit like it happened during the Commission.
Well, maybe there is something really amazing there, but
But it is better not to create extraneous problems at this time.
After all, compared to the remains of unknown difficulty and profits, of course, it is more important to have millions of goods in your hand.
However
When he met those expectant eyes, there was still a helpless smile on his smart face.
Close the book in his hand, Sce put it aside and patted Ash to stand up from the ground.
...It would be a pity if I didn't go and see it.
The tail jumped up excitedly.
oh!rush!
General McClass, who was standing at the door of the tent, sneezed, and accidentally bit his teeth and sprayed the cigarette butt on his mouth into the sand.
After rubbing his nose that was sunburned, he glanced at the cigarette stuck on the ground and cursed.
……Oh shit.
Although this was a perfect plan, McClass still felt a little frustrated when he thought that he was a two-star ten thousand men and a noble sky conqueror who had fallen to be a contractor in the desert.

From the beginning, he felt a chill on his back.
This feeling happened two or three months ago, and not long after that, his baby's propeller of the Iron Heart swept into a hydrogen balloon that floated from somewhere.

Watching the officer who was trotting away, General McCross stepped on the cigarette butt and crushed it with his boots, then walked to the north of the camp with his hands on his back.
The runway at the airport is under construction.
There is no forklift, you can only dig with shovels and use wheelbarrows and trucks to carry the earth.
The land here is severely desertified. In order to prevent the ground from collapse when the plane lands, the runway must be solidified.
More than 50 troops patrolled the edge of the runway while supervising the construction of the entourage.

Sis glanced at the purse in his hand, which contained golden lion coins, and there were quite a few. It was estimated that there were three or four hundred. These two seemed to be from the lion kingdom.
The man probably felt that this request was a bit abrupt, and he couldn't help but take his hands back.
He knew very well that the currency of the defeated country was worthless.
If it were a few months ago, this bag of money could be exchanged for 400 golden camel coins.
And now, it is difficult to remove two 0s. Even if he is desperate, he can't bear to let these two little girls be suckers.
However, Sce still reached out to take the money from him and stuffed him a bag of money.
The deal was completed. After the trip was over, we were planning to go to Oasis No. 9, so we didn’t have to exchange money when we got there.
Looking at the purse handed over by the girl in front of him, the man was stunned and said guiltily.
This...too many.
That heavy weight is at least 300 gold camel coins, saving enough to live for half a year.
Even some small business.
Sis weighed the wallet in his hand and said casually.
Your country has not lost yet. Those who are still resisting, their determination is worthy of this price, and take it away.
The man's Adam's apple moved, and the expression on his face was both grateful and a little ashamed.
After a brief moment of silence, he took his purse and bowed deeply.
This is the only thing he can do at this moment.
Thank you for your generosity, may the spirit of the sea of sand protect your journey.My name is Charlie... Although this is just a trivial name and is not worth remembering, if you are destined to meet again, I will repay you for your kindness to me and my wife.
I thought this guy was quite interesting, so Sce bent the corners of his mouth.
Don't take it too seriously. It's just a business. Just be nice to your wife.
The tail on the side also smiled and said.
oh!I would like to lend you auspicious words, hoping that we can find a lot of treasures on the way back!By the way, we are from the White Bear Knights. The leader is a big white bear who can talk. Please spread our legend a little more outrageously!
The man glanced at the two little girls blankly, then bowed deeply again, and returned to his wife to tell her the good news.
With the two pairs of grateful eyes watching, Ss and Tail walked towards the room deep in the corridor.
Looking at Sis who took out the key to open the door, he touched his chin and thought for a while, and suddenly he seemed to have discovered some amazing secret and spoke seriously.
Unbelievable, I didn't expect that Sis was also soft-hearted and did not suspect that the couple might be liars.
Sis replied casually without being frank.
No, I just think I may not be able to buy it if I don’t buy it. Please keep it as a souvenir...Ah By the way, this expenditure is deducted from my income, after all, it is my personal interest.
Although everyone doesn't seem to care much, she thinks it would be better to figure it out clearly.
She has seen too many guilds that we had a good relationship with each other, but the equipment that was about to be killed after two versions broke out.
Tail looked at Sce who was pushing the door open in surprise.
Alas!Will you take away the out-of-print gold coins?
Sis was stunned, then smiled and stuffed her purse into her hand.
...That's a portion of Awei.
The room environment of 9 gold catcoins is much more spacious than that of 3 gold catcoins. It not only has bright windows, a soft big bed, but also has a separate bathroom.
Petra Fortress is not in the oasis, but it is the territory of the Camel Kingdom. Freshwater is only a little expensive, but it is not scarce.
Moreover, Oasis No. 4 is different from other oasis. Not all fresh water is supplied by the river embankment. The Zhuobar River, which flows from the mountains to Silver Moon Bay, also irrigates large areas of land.
In the local slang of the Camel Kingdom, the pronunciation of Zhuobar has the meaning of greatness and mother, which is also one of the cultures formed after the Wasteland Era.
As soon as I threw down my luggage, my tail snatched into the bathroom like a gust of wind, and soon there was a rustling sound of water.
Haven't taken a shower for a month.
But she was so suffocated.
Sis walked to the window and sat down. He listened to the shouting and hawking outside the window. He put the book "Oasis under the Zhuobar Mountains" he bought for cash on his knees and began to read it carefully.
The author's name is Bai Ge, which seems to be a pseudonym. He used a few strokes to describe his life and deeds on the title page, claiming to be from the wandering swamp, and was surprised to find this pearl hidden at the foot of the mountain on this desperate land. So he gave up his employer's task, stayed in the local area, married the daughter of a fisherman, and wrote while teaching.
This book, written in the 150th year of Wasteland Age, is as famous as its author himself. It mainly records the geographical features and customs of Oasis No. 4 and the Camel Kingdom.
If the Zhubar Mountains are compared horizontally with the World House Crest in the real world, then the location of the Hump Kingdom is a bit similar to the other world version of Bengal.
However, its area is smaller, with a total area of only 80,000 square kilometers and a population of only about 1.5 million. It lives in a total of twelve city-states including Petra Fortress.
The kings here are Camel City, where one-third of the population of the entire oasis live, located in the southwest corner of the bay.
If you pass through Petra Fortress and walk south along the Dorbar River to the flood plain at the mouth of the sea, you can reach the most prosperous Silver Moon Bay in the entire oasis.
Situated on the flood plains, Silver Moon City is the most prosperous port city in the Camel Kingdom. The fragmented islands and the rivers traveling between buildings are its unique urban style.
Although the population is only 300,000, more than 70% of the kingdom's fiscal revenue comes from there.
...The locals started trade with the archipelago in the south and the Bharat province in the southwest.The bighorn cow in the desert was actually introduced from the Bharat Province by Yinyue Bay. It is said that there are fishmen with gills and big frogs that can spray acid...unbelievable.
oh!Poluo!Can you see Poluo there?Rubbing his wet hair with a towel, Tail, who had just walked out of the bathroom, heard Sis talking to himself, and immediately came over curiously.
When Sis saw her appearance, his face turned red and he reached out to pull up the curtains.
You...at least wear a dress.
The tail was proudly crossed its waist and raised the corners of its mouth fearlessly.
What does it matter!I heard that everyone lives in the dormitory without clothes!
Sis moved his gaze subtly.
...I might have been to a fake university.
After a while of naughty tail, he finally regained his integrity. He put on a T-shirt and sat obediently beside Sis, wrapping his hair with a towel, as if he was planning to wait for it to naturally suck it dry.
There are even bionic people here, but there is no hair dryer. It can only be said that it is worthy of being a wasteland.
I got to the book and stared at the illustration with my eyes shining. I wanted to find some clues about the new map from it. I went to the forum to brag about it later.
Sis coughed gently and returned to the previous topic.
It just happens that the pronunciation is very similar, and it is literally translated as the land south of the towering mountains, so I prefer to directly translate it as ‘Bara’.It feels like the location of that province is a bit like the widened Italian Peninsula.Our current fortress is like Innsbruck, Camel City is like Ravenna, Silvermoon City is like Venice... If you only look at the geographical location.
The Zhuobar Mountains extending to the southwest divide the traffic on the road, so you can only take water from Oasis No. 4 to the Bharat Province.
According to the description in the book, there are also alien species in the ocean, and it is said that the combat power has reached the level of sea monsters.
However, these xenotypes are usually only active in the deep sea and are sensitive to odors.
Locals found that these alien species hated the smell of black iron wood, so they would use wooden steamboats made of black iron wood to trade longer distances.
And in relatively shallow coastal areas, they also use iron to make boats.
The author, whose pen name is Bai Ge, has a very rigorous narrative style, and may be a researcher at the college.
Sis thought in his heart, and he held his chin with his hands and stared at the illustration's tail and suddenly sighed.
I didn't expect the world to be so big!
Yes...
Opposite the sea... I touched my chin, and my tail suddenly looked serious. Is it the enemy?
Sis was slightly stunned, then burst into laughter.
...I've been talking about the stage, Ah Wei.
hey-hey……
Tail scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly.
At this time, she suddenly saw the scroll on the bedside table, and then remembered the treasure map, so she stood up and carried it over.
Looking at the map unfolding on the ground, Sce raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Oh, it's quite big.
That's not a big loss.
oh!!The map is marked with a red cross!It's really a treasure map!
That kind of mark can be drawn with a pen.
Looking at Awei who was shocked, Sis replied casually, his eyes stayed on the map for a moment, and suddenly frowned slightly.
Her index finger subconsciously flipped the pages of the book and found a description of Lost Valley.
Whether in the materialistic sense or the idealistic sense, this ruin has a profound impact on the kingdom on this oasis.
Therefore, the book also has a considerable amount of description.
...According to the word of mouth of the local people, the God of the Sky fell there, and the burning scepter turned the plain into a valley.That is undoubtedly Oasis 7, and according to known documents, I suspect there are radioactive materials and variant slime molds... or should be said to be the residue of the curse.
I should go there to check it out, but my body can no longer stand the tossing and for the sake of my lovely son, I can only let go of my urge to take risks.Maybe one day in the future, after I have no worries, I will go there and see it. If I can repair it, it will be perfect, although I don’t have any hope.
A century and a half ago, they were living gods. If they wanted to use wrenches and kickers to solve the problem of gods, they would be more reliable than lighting a candle to pray.
After reading this, Sis can basically confirm that the author whose pen name is Bai Ge is a researcher or prospector from the college.
That pessimistic and self-deprecating tone is exactly the same as a researcher who is obsessed with coffee machines.
The more I know, the more pessimistic you are. Fortunately, you have an optimistic manager. I would have given up treatment long ago... This is the line that the NPC often says.
His eyes were frozen in a line in the book, and Sceh barely explained with his limited vocabulary based on the context.
...Titan.
Tail raised his head excitedly, and his eyes emitted an excited light.
Titan?
It's indeed a hidden mission!
Sis nodded, his eyes moved on the page, and said after a little thought.
Well... The author has collected rumors about the God of Sky. Referring to the description of the locals, he believes that it should be some kind of large land warfare equipment with frigate specifications, equipped with mobile reactors, heavy firepower and starship-class shields.
The machine waving the holy fire wrestled with the evil spirits dancing with countless long whips, and finally burned under the scepter falling from the sky... This sounded like a Transformers vs. Tentacle monster.
If the tentacle monster is understood as a mother nest, then the machine waving the sacred fire is easy to explain.
Probably similar to the Doomsday Mecha in Civilization 6, or the Iron Punch in "Titanfall".
It was not like the battle that took place during the Three Years’ War, but rather a bit like it happened during the Commission.
Well, maybe there is something really amazing there, but
But it is better not to create extraneous problems at this time.
After all, compared to the remains of unknown difficulty and profits, of course, it is more important to have millions of goods in your hand.
However
When he met those expectant eyes, there was still a helpless smile on his smart face.
Close the book in his hand, Sce put it aside and patted Ash to stand up from the ground.
...It would be a pity if I didn't go and see it.
The tail jumped up excitedly.
oh!rush!
