Chapter 1401 Pearl Xisha
"Travel? Haha." Jennifer just smiled, and this laughter obviously did not believe it: "Forget it, if you don't want to tell the truth, I won't force you, you are just a little girl Wandering outside alone, don't you worry about encountering danger or bad people? ? Maybe we are the bad guys?”
Alice knew that she was just teasing herself and said with a smile: “A girl of my age is alone, so of course I am afraid of bad people. There has to be a reason for doing bad things, and I don’t have too many of them. There is nothing worthy of the bad guys’ attention, so who would harm me?”
Jennifer looked into Alice’s eyes, and said, “It seems you are quite courageous. Not afraid at all, but bad guys come in many varieties, not necessarily just for the sake of it. You have such an alluring beauty, so you are not afraid that bad people will have other ideas about you and do evil things to you?”
Alice’s big eyes rolled and she looked at the three big men around her. The man asked: "Are the three of them lustful and bad people?"
Jennifer waved her fingers and smiled slightly and said: "That's impossible to say."
"Hey, Jennifer, stop scaring her. If you really scare her, treat us as your mouth If you are that kind of person, then Lucas and I will die unjustly." Kellu was lying in the sand ditch with his arms folded, his legs crossed, and his toes were swaying, looking lazy.
Next to him, Komand was unhappy when he heard this: "Hey Kelru, why did you and Lucas not take me with you when you and Lucas were wrongly accused? Am I the kind of person Jennifer said? Human?"
Keru laughed: "I don't know if you are."
Lucas also laughed. stand up.
Alice said: "You want to scare me, saying that you are a bad person. But how do you know that I am not a bad person?" After saying that, her expression changed, and she said sinisterly: "Maybe I am approaching you just for your mission goal. , I’m going on the road with you.”
After saying this, the faces of the four people changed at the same time, with doubts and vigilance in their eyes. Jennifer rolled her eyes and suddenly smiled: "Why are you nervous? She is scaring us."
Alice turned her face and smiled: "It seems that I won this round, the one who was scared It’s you.”
The three relaxed, and Lucas smiled and asked, “Little girl, how do you know our mission goal?”
Alice Tan Kaishou shook his head: "I don't know."
"Then you...then how do you know to use this to scare us?"
Alice said with a smile: "Before setting off, I once chatted with you and asked you what you were doing in Xisha City, but you really Refuse to say, do you remember?”
"Remember, it's normal for mercenaries to keep their missions secret, so what?"
Alice then said: "It's normal for mercenaries to keep their missions secret, but according to common sense, it's normal There is no need to keep secrets for ordinary tasks. It must be an important matter, but even important tasks cannot be discussed at all. Even if you don't want to tell outsiders, you should still communicate a few words privately. But you just accepted the task in the morning, and you have been here all this time. No subtitle phrases have been discussed for this task , and no opinions have been exchanged, which obviously shows that this task is very important and cannot be revealed to outsiders, so I just lied to you, and you were frightened."
The four of you listened. After that, the tense expression really eased.
Lucas laughed and said: "You are a young girl, but you are quite smart."
Alice apologized: "Don't mind, I'm just joking with you." Gale kept on It didn't calm down until the sunset. The temperature in the Gobi Desert would be sharply cold at night. None of the five of them were prepared to stay in the wild, so they had to rush to Xisha City even if they were traveling at night.
Fortunately, the Desert Dudu Bird traveled very quickly. After traveling for more than two hours, we finally arrived outside Xisha City before ten o'clock in the evening.
Ten o'clock in the evening is just when the sun sets in the western region. Although Xisha is a remote city, the city is brightly lit at this time. Alice stood on the desolate mountain cliff outside the city, looking at the lights in the city, and sighed: "I didn't expect to see such a big city in such a desolate and remote place."
"Yes." Jennifer said: "Xisha City is called the pearl on the west side of the desert. Although this place is remote, it is not desolate. On the contrary, it is much more prosperous than most cities on the edge of the desert. In fact, more than ten years ago, This is just a small village that relies on an oasis to survive. It can develop to its current scale, which is similar to the local Lulka. The husband's family is inseparable."
"Is it the biggest Lurkaf family in the city?"
Jennifer nodded: "Yes, it would be impossible without this Lulkaf family. There is no such prosperous city as Xisha.”
“It turns out he is still a great person,” Alice murmured.
Lucas pulled the reins and said: "Okay, let's go down and enter the city."
After descending the cliff and entering this city on the edge of the desert, the four of them, Lucas and Alice, went to the stable and handed over the desert doodle bird before saying goodbye. After a day's journey, Alice was exhausted, so she found a hotel nearby and stayed.
It gets dark late in the west and lights up late too. It was already noon when Alice woke up. After washing, she ordered some food to eat in the room, while thinking about what to do with her own affairs.
"The person I am looking for must be this Lurkafu, but this city was built because of him. Half of the city is his family's property. His power here can be imagined. Well... ...How should I start?”
While thinking, one lunch was finished before she knew it. Alice wiped her mouth, put away the tableware, and decided to take a look around the city first. .
Toliba is a remote country in the west of the mainland, and the city of Xisha is on the edge of the desert. Everything here is full of local customs with local ethnic characteristics. In each of the four-square huts, a bunch of yellow shelled dried fruits are hung, painted with strange facial makeup with ethnic characteristics, and necklaces made from dried insect corpses to bless peace. The most distinctive thing is the Black dog statues made of black stone stand in the center of cross streets or in front of important buildings. This kind of black dog statue is particularly unexpected and interesting in this city. Most of the buildings here are built with local sand. They are all white or nearly white in appearance and are not painted in other colors. And this black dog statue Standing in this white city, how can it not look out of place. What's interesting is that there are four tall stone statues of black dogs placed in front of the local government office building. It's really funny. These four black stone dogs have become veritable watchdogs.
However, there is also something strange about the stone statue of a black stone dog. Although it is a statue of a dog, it has two pairs of horns, one long and one short. The whole body is pitch black without any other color. It is not known whether it is some kind of local god or monster.
In addition to these, from time to time you will see a kind of monster wandering the streets that is extremely rare to see outside. That is the sand monster that only exists in the desert, also known as the Sand Demon. This kind of monster is considered to be an elemental life form, and its core contains a very precious elemental material - the marrow of sand.
Alice had never seen this kind of sand monster when she was in the Gobi before, but she was shocked when she suddenly saw it on the street. However, the locals have long been accustomed to this. This kind of sand monster does not attack people, but just wanders aimlessly, as if looking for something. Sometimes it turns into a puddle of sand and scatters on the ground while walking. Sometimes it suddenly gathers and moves around. There seems to be no danger except for some infiltration.
Alice first walked around the center of the city and then randomly found a few places to look around. She already had a general understanding of the city. As others have said, most of the properties in this city are owned by Lulkaf Kobochin. More than 60% of the people in the city have the surname Lulkaf. Although the mayor of this city is not Kobochin, Boqin is also a relative of Coboqin, and Coboqin is a local lord with a very deep reputation. Although the Toliba Kingdom does not have a system of demarcating territories, the entire Xisha City is like a small kingdom in Kobochin.
