The shadows of the old world, the tides of the new era. Light and darkness, chaos and dawn... arise alternately in a world of machinery and witchcraft!
But what does this have to do with me, ...
night.
Located in the desert of the central region of Jagun!
The countries in the Adak region are all built on oases, and as long as they are close to the city, they will enter the fertile land.
But once you leave, it's easy to end up in the desert...
Often, one city is connected to another by deserts, making it difficult to build roads because the conditions are too special and the cost is enormous... Only two large cities close to each other may have a chance.
The direction of Jagun capital is also the largest urban network in Jagun, with seven or eight urban clusters connected in the entire area.
It is also the largest and most populous inhabited area in the entire desert.
But in a slightly remote place...
Walking in the desert is inevitable.
Therefore, large iron-hoofed bulls and flying dragons become the best means of transportation here.
Most of the countries in the southern continent that came to the capital to pay tribute had certain trade relations with Jia Gong, especially the gold and medicinal materials produced in the desert area, as well as the relatively rare wild animal materials, which were all precious treasures.
Every year, southern countries would purchase a large number of rare wild beasts, which were then made into various strengthening potions by alchemists and resold. These potions were even more valuable than ores!
It can be said that it is a good thing to make friends with the most powerful country in the desert.
And the tariffs on goods from our own country can also be reduced...
It’s late at night, and we won’t walk in the desert anymore, but choose a relatively quiet place to rest.
The tribute team consisted of about two thousand people, led mainly by several countries close to the Adak region, such as Keselke. There were also several regions in the southern continent... Keselke was relatively close to this side.
"I didn't expect the desert nights to be even colder than I imagined."
Several people sat around a campfire, warming themselves by the fire.
A group of two thousand people looked as spectacular as a village with lights on when viewed from above.
"Has Lord Percy never been to the desert before?"
A person sitting opposite said.
"If you ask me about the nights on the sea, I have slept countless times, but I have never been to the desert!" As a diplomat sent by Kselke this time, Bersi's primary task is to pay tribute as a routine, and secondly to make an observation report on the current situation in Jagun.
Because a lot of things happened in Jagong in the past year.
Jagun, who had never participated in the battle, actually went to war with the big powers in other regions!
Although they won in the end, the feud is unlikely to be resolved in the short term, or the top leaders of the two countries may remain hostile to each other for a longer period of time.
Secondly, the son of the previous queen has returned... No one knows what this will mean for the situation in the entire desert countries.
For the sake of future interests, Keselk needs to understand the current situation in Jagun.
This is the basic diplomatic policy for the country's future development...
"Forget about the sea, this trip made me feel uncomfortable for a long time." said the man.
"Hahaha...that's because you're not used to it yet."
"I guess no one can get used to that kind of shaking. As soon as I got on the boat, I knew I was done for."
"Hahaha."
The two laughed again.
Relatively speaking, traveling is much less stressful than being in the country, and it can be considered a kind of release, so the diplomats all got along very well with each other...even though they all had their own ulterior motives.
"But it has to be said that Jagun is indeed a country with a long history. Looking at this desert, you can imagine that it has been imprinted with the footprints of countless people hundreds or even thousands of years ago."
"Maybe it's just the footprints of an iron-hoofed bull."
“That’s possible!”
He raised an eyebrow and continued eating the hot food in his hand.
"I once heard in a story that the witches of Adak were also very interesting. They would ride on magic carpets woven from enchanted threads through the desert... Their delicate figures were beautiful in the moonlight, accompanied by their elegant little black cats."
"You may have heard some elegant story; I have never heard it that way," replied Percy, with a smile.
"Maybe!"
The people around me still persist.
"If there is, he must be a high-level wizard, otherwise who could make a flying magic carpet..."
At this moment...
Suddenly a strong desert wind blew up.
"The wind seems to be getting stronger."
Percy stood up.
It took off from a place that was fine just a second ago.
"The wind is picking up. Everyone, move closer. Let the camels stay on the periphery and put down the cargo first." Someone shouted from deep inside the camp, and the magic amplification effect was increased so that everyone could hear it.
The whole team began to get busy.
But this still made Percy feel very strange.
The weather was not as changeable as it was a few days ago when I rested in the desert.
This vast desert is truly an unpredictable place!
"Someone."
"I found someone outside!!"
At this moment, a sudden sound woke up the two people who were still chatting.
"Enemy attack, it's an enemy attack."
"Prepare for battle..."
No one expected that there would be attackers in this country, and there were quite a few of them.
The wind and sand began to rage, and even magical tracks began to appear in the flow of sand... The sand actually came alive and turned into standing sandmen rushing towards them.
Percy hurriedly retreated to the center of the team with another responsible senior official.
I have never encountered such a thing before, and there are people who rush to attack Jagong.
"Stop them and protect the cargo!"
This is to hijack the cargo.
The first thing that came to mind was this...
However, the figures made of sand and gravel did not rush directly towards the team, but walked to the campfire and dispersed.
