Western Continent, formerly the Falcon Kingdom.

The world is filled with yellow sand, and yellow dust and sand are blowing in the wind everywhere. This is a dry and hot world.

The sun scorched the glittering sand, making it scorching hot. At noon, a camel caravan walked on the hills, heading into the distance.

They calculated the required distance accurately and finally arrived at an oasis in the desert to rest before dark.

It was a sheltered spot, surrounded by sandy hills, with a crescent-shaped lake nestled in the middle. Its waters were crystal clear, like a mirror under the scorching sun, a truly magnificent sight.

Compared to the quietness of the day, the place becomes bustling before nightfall, with numerous residents and travelers emerging from their tents and mud-brick houses to gather in the market, trading goods and exchanging information.

These caravans coming from afar carried goods from all over the place, piled them together, and illuminated by torches, reflecting alluring lights of various colors.

Among them were sugar blocks, wheat grains, utensils and the like from Cransia, fur blankets and bacon from the Gufia grasslands, exquisite crossbows, scimitars, and alchemical creations from the south, as well as exotic wines, special preserved fruits, and gorgeous silks shipped from far overseas.

Although the desert is barren, the Falcon Heartland after crossing the desert, the high mountain cliffs are rich in metals and gems. If they were exchanged for the outside world, they would be priceless.

But the most lively place in the oasis today was not the stalls selling goods, but a towering tent. Outside the tent, colorful flags were hung on strings, and the sound of small drums and strings came from inside, tempting people to come in.

"The ticket is 10 silver coins per person. Please line up and don't push." ​​A thin bald man shouted loudly with a loudspeaker. In front of him was a group of guests waiting to enter.

"It's so popular?" asked a traveler who had just arrived here in surprise. Judging from his clothes, he should be from the north.

"Haha, you don't understand this since you just arrived. That's the famous Fenghua Opera Company." A companion with slightly darker skin put his arm around his shoulders and pointed at the metal flower on top of the tent that was spinning in the wind.

"The former Blue Songstress was from this troupe." He raised his arm and greeted an acquaintance in the distance.

"Anyway, I won't let you down. How about going and taking a look?"

"Okay, let's go and take a look." The traveler agreed after a little hesitation, and the two of them joined the queue.

Compared to the hustle and bustle outside, the dressing room in the giant tent is quite quiet at this moment.

A candle burned quietly as a beautiful young woman slowly applied eyeshadow. She had smooth, light brown skin and was dressed in a very cool outfit, save for a purple gauze skirt covering her key areas and copper bells on her wrists and ankles.

"Are you ready, Lingxin? The show is about to begin." A girl with blonde hair and a ponytail walked in. She was wearing a black men's suit with a white silk scarf tied in front of her collar.

"Okay, Lanli." The girl nodded, then put on her veil and sapphire forehead ornament and walked out of the dressing room.

At night, accompanied by brisk drum beats, melodious music came out of a copper box nearby, and a performance was being shown in the giant tent.

A lithe young girl danced lightly on the stage, her cocoa-colored skin appearing delicate and fragile in the firelight, and the copper bells on her ankles and wrists jingled with her unrestrained dance steps.

Between her slender arms, several copper rings rotated flexibly, constantly transferring back and forth between her arms, thin waist, and ankles. Sometimes they were thrown into the air, and then her body turned flexibly on the stage, caught with her ankles, and continued to throw them up.

Watching the beautiful and energetic dance, the audience below burst into enthusiastic cheers from time to time, their eyes moving along with the girl's figure as if fascinated.

In this passionate dance, the girl is as dazzling as the sun, and her lively eyes above her veil are like the most beautiful gems in the world, attracting people.

After a long time, when the performance was nearing its end, the girl's forehead was covered with a little sweat, which gleamed in the candlelight. The audience below had already turned into a sea of ​​joy, swaying colorful ribbons in their hands and twisting their bodies to the beat.

Late at night, after the performance, guests slowly walked out of the huge tent that was as big as a football field and returned to their residences to rest.

"Wooooo, Lingxin, we're rich. We're rich~"

Lan Lier sat in a small hill of gold and silver coins, cheering loudly, with little stars in her eyes.

"Okay, come down quickly. You've been standing all night. Aren't you tired?" Ling Xin was sitting on a wooden chair with a cup of warm milk tea, resting.

"Besides, we still have to pay the salaries of the other members of the troupe. After all, everyone has contributed a lot."

"Yeah, I know. But seeing such a large sum of money, I'm still very happy." Lan Li hugged Ling Xin and rubbed her.

After that, the two talked for a while, and Lingxin and Lanli packed up and went to bed.

In a camp in the oasis, in the darkness, three people were talking in low voices.

"That opera troupe made a lot of money tonight. How about we..." One of them, with a black cloth covering his head, suggested in a low voice, his narrow eyes filled with greed.

"Haha, she is indeed a good target, and that girl, wow, she is really top-notch." The other one also licked his lips, with desire in his heart.

"However, it's not easy to take action here. The official power is not small, and it will be difficult to take them away later." The last one should be more cautious.

"I know, so we have to send someone to follow them. It would be best if we could intercept them halfway and stop both the people and the goods."
