The wind blows strongly in the desert at night.
But there was no sandstorm as Sean had imagined, it was just that the temperature was quite different from that during the day.
Before this, Sean didn't know much about the desert. His impression was of the sky full of dust and the long road. Of course, more of it were the black sandstorms in the stories that were big enough to bury people. I guess this is how most people think of the desert.
However, when you actually walk into the desert, it is a completely different feeling...
There is yellow sand, but it's not that loud.
After dinner, Sean returned to his tent to rest. During the day, he had intentionally spread the news through the merchants, and judging from their behavior, the entire Adak region would probably gradually learn of his return.
The main force should not have entered the desert yet. At least we can attract everyone's attention to the main force and then rush back during this period.
Being suddenly stared at by so many people, even though the Sun King's army was invincible, Sean still felt vaguely uncomfortable... It was as if everyone was waiting for him to go on stage, and these so-called audiences might not all be there to give flowers, they might have other purposes.
Just like the people from the Golden Group!
I opened the book, read a few words and then closed it again...
Besides himself, there was also the girl sent by the merchant today in the tent. She had been staying in the tent since the evening and had not gone out.
In order to make himself not appear too special in the camp, almost all officers with some military status were given a separate tent, and his was just one of them.
"Are you hungry?" After closing the book, Sean looked at the woman kneeling in front of him.
I remember that he hadn't eaten since he was brought here in the evening. His big eyes were staring at me, and his head was filled with tension and confusion.
The veil was still covering her face, but the exposed eyes looked quite bright and lively...
Reach out,
The other party instinctively dodged for a moment, and finally sat still as if she had mustered up great courage, waiting for Sean to slowly unveil her.
His eyelids lifted slightly and his lips moved subconsciously.
"Well, she's pretty good-looking," Sean said.
Her face is slightly chubby, but with a pair of eyes and a delicate nose, she is a beauty.
Sean had seen many beautiful girls. Although the one in front of him was not top-notch, she was considered pretty good even among ordinary people, otherwise the businessmen would not have carefully selected her to bring along.
Of course, the most distinctive feature is his silver-white hair. If it weren’t for this special hair color, Sean might not have chosen her!
"Are you hungry?" he asked again.
There was some leftover food on her table, which was originally left for her, but she hadn't dared to touch it since the evening.
He looked at himself and nodded, then immediately shook his head.
Sean could tell she was afraid...
Pick up the plate and pass it to the other person to follow.
"Eat whatever you want. These were originally meant for you. If you didn't eat them before, they'd be cold now." He simply put them at her feet and let her take them herself.
"Don't worry about eating it, it won't poison you. I just asked you to come here to find a servant for myself... You have a simpler foundation, so I can use you more." Sean said.
The favorability level was still [Neutral], but it changed when the girl picked up the plate.
【friendly】……
It’s a good start.
"Master, do you want to buy me as a servant?" the girl asked tentatively.
This was probably the first time she spoke, and even her voice was childish. She was probably not very old, perhaps about the same age as Igunya.
"It's hard to say now. It depends on your performance in the future." Sean replied with a smile.
Finally eating, it means the girl has let down her guard.
The place he was going to next was Jagun's palace. He didn't know what the situation inside was like yet, but judging from the merchant's behavior today, almost everyone in the entire desert was paying attention to him.
That place is truly high, but in Sean's heart it is also the focus of everyone's attention...
Therefore, if there is an opportunity, he would like to cultivate some forces around him. Melsusa takes special care of him because she is his mother's disciple, but she is a subject after all and it is impossible for her to live in the palace.
It would be best if you could bring some maids with you.
In fact, Sean is also trying...
It would be great if the maids could be as smart and clever as Lilith Bristol or Shakira, but such people are too hard to find, so we can only try to find one at random based on coincidences like today.
"May I have your name?"
The girl stopped eating, thought for a moment, and then shook her head.
"No name? Impossible, then what are your family members called..." Looking at the state that appeared above the other person's head, he really didn't lie.
"My mother calls me Jasmine, but she is not my biological mother. We sisters all use flower names instead."
Then the girl told Sean her story...
She was originally sold by her parents when she was young, and grew up in a large hotel in a southern city of Adak, where she was trained as a maid and dancer. Sean had seen this many times in the Hydel Hotel before. Later, because the Golden Group robbed the city hotel and it could no longer operate, she was sold again.
"So that's how it is. Then you'll follow me from now on... But I can't continue calling you Jasmine, it still sounds like a flower name." Sean thought for a moment.
Looking at the other person's silver hair, he recalled the witch mentor who came to the town that year.
"From now on I will call you Illya. Your job is to take care of my daily life... Try to be more attentive, and we'll talk about it later." That's all Sean thought of for now.
"Yes, sir." The girl spoke with her head down.
"Eat, it's getting cold."
Sean returned to his desk and continued to read the book, when suddenly he seemed to think of something.
"By the way, is your silver hair natural?"
ah.
The girl who was still eating looked up...
He covered his chubby little face with his palms and was able to speak only after a moment.
"They say my hometown is in Duskbend Port on the southeastern border. Most of the girls there have silver hair, but I've never been back."
Southeast of Adak...
That almost means crossing the entire desert and the country on the oasis. Even Sean had never thought of going to such a far place.
That's all.
It was just a casual question.
"Let's rest early after eating. We still have to travel early tomorrow morning... We are the vanguard of Jagun, and the larger forces will continue to arrive, so we have to reach Jagun before them." Sean said.
"What else can you do besides dancing?"
“I dance a lot…”
Well……
Okay.
Dancing can also help liven up the atmosphere.
Wave your hand and let the other person continue eating.
