Chapter 1400 Traveling South Together
The happiest people when Bimoye came back were Irina and Luo. Irina held Bimoye’s hand and refused to let go, for fear that if she let go, she would lose her again. generally. After everyone had a dinner together, a few close friends took Bimoye back to the room to talk, asking questions about what happened after they were separated in the Warcraft Forest. Speaking of Wayne, Irina burst into tears again, and Susan also cried beside her. At the same time, she also asked why Bimoye didn't come back until now, and it took nearly a year.
Asked about this, Bimoye couldn't help but recall some things.
On the side, Wendini said: "Originally, Wendini escaped from the forest with Xiao Yeye and was anxious to come back and join everyone. On the way, she heard the news at the tavern that everyone had returned here safely. Xiaoyeye is not so anxious anymore. Something happened, so I came back late."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard the name Xiaoyeye. Scar joked: "When did you have such an affectionate name, Xiaoye. Yeah.”
Bimoye didn't take it seriously, didn't laugh or get angry.
Irina asked: "Undine, you said something happened on the way, what happened?"
Undine said: "The main reason why so much time was wasted is because of the small child. The new little dragon is very naughty and tries to bully me. I almost got hurt by it several times and got into a lot of trouble. "
"Dragon? "

With cold drinks and a casual lunch, a girl with blue-silver hair, wearing a black leather jacket with white trimmings, sat alone in a cool second-floor restaurant. At this time, the sun outside was strong, and there were not many carriages and pedestrians walking on the street. Only the vendors under the leather awnings in the corners of the street were still selling fresh fruits and ceramic handicrafts.
“Hey, waiter, come here.” The blue-silver-haired girl waved her hand. Naturally, she was none other than Alice, who had just left the border of Adria.
"How can I serve you?" The waiter came over politely.
Alice wiped her mouth with a napkin and asked, "I want to ask you, is it Xisha City going south from here?"
The waiter nodded. He said: "Yes, after leaving the city and walking 55 kilometers south along the road, you will find Xisha City, which is already close to the edge of the desert."
Alice asked again: "Is there a surname Lulkafu in Xisha City?"
The waiter asked: "Is the lady a foreigner who traveled abroad?"
"Well, what?"
The waiter smiled and said: "The surname Lulkafu is not only the largest in Xisha City, but also in our country. Miss, when you walk on the street, you will see ten Personally There are three people named Lurkaf in front of you. Not to mention the distance, there is a wealthy family named Lulkaf in the small town where you are staying. The restaurant you are dining in now is also owned by Lulkaf. And I, who is serving you right now, also have the surname Lulkafu."
Alice was stunned for a moment and smiled: "Oh, I didn't expect that. It seems that my information is inaccurate. Yeah.”
The waiter continued: "But Miss, if you ask the big family named Lurkaf in Xisha City, I may know which family you are talking about. Are you asking about Lulkaf Kobochin?"
< br>"This...I only know that it is a big family in Xisha City." Alice was not sure.
The waiter said: "That's it. Speaking of the largest and most famous family in Xisha City, Lulkaf Kobochin's family is the largest local businessman with a fortune of hundreds of millions. Half of the city belongs to his family. You must find him.”
< br>"Oh." Alice nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you, this gold coin is a tip for you." The gold coin was placed in the waiter's hand. The waiter smiled and said: "Miss, you Do you want to go to Xisha City alone? ”
"Yes, is there any problem?"
The waiter said: "I just want to remind you that this season is when the wind and sand are frequent. Going south to Xisha City is already very close to the outskirts of the desert. Do you want to If you go there, you still have to go on the way. Be more careful. It is best to find a caravan to go with. It will be helpful in case of a strong sandstorm."
"Thank you for the reminder, I will remember it," Alice supported again. After tipping him with a gold coin, he waved the waiter to leave.
After leaving the restaurant, Alice was thinking about what the waiter said: "I didn't expect that the Lurkafu I was looking for was not a simple person. He is so powerful in Xisha City. It seems that what I want to do is I'm afraid the matter can't be solved in a simple and crude way. We have to find another way." After thinking for a while, Alice thought to herself: "Anyway, let's go to Xisha City to see the situation before making a decision. Let’s decide. Well, where can we find a caravan to accompany us to Xisha?”
The caravan was not found, but Alice met four mercenaries at the gate of the city, three men and one woman. has blond shoulder-length curly hair, named Jennifer, and the three men are named Lucas, Command and Rourke. Among them, Command is not a pure human, but a multi-racial hybrid. The four of them accepted a business deal at the mercenary club in the morning and were about to go to Xisha City to perform their mission. When they saw Alice wanting to go with them, they readily agreed.
The desert doodle is a specialized species of ostrich. This kind of ostrich only grows in the desert areas of the western part of the continent, and not one can be seen in the eastern part of the continent. They are strong and tall, with rich feathers, many crests on their heads, large and powerful beaks, strong legs, wide soles, thick toes, and thick pads on their feet. They are good at running on soft ground such as deserts. Its wings are short and unable to fly, and its thick feathers can insulate the desert from the heat waves during the day and the cold air at night. The feathers of this ostrich are mostly white, white-gray, yellow and tan piebald. Once angry, the feather crest on the head will stand high and the feathers all over the body will turn red for a while.
This kind of bird is not uncommon in the desert areas of the west. People living nearby met and domesticated this ostrich and used it as a means of transportation in the desert. At this moment, Alice and the other five were riding on the Desert Dudu Bird rented from Mangfang, heading towards Xisha City.
"Woo, woo..." Ruel, who was running in front, pulled the reins and stopped while calling the animal voice of the desert doo-doo: "No, no, no, I can't stand it anymore, this The weather is dry and hot, and the wind is blowing It's like it's on fire. Let's stop for a while and wait until the wind calms down before leaving."
"We've only walked about ten kilometers out of the city. Should we stop here?" Jennifer asked. His eyes glanced at Lucas.
Among the four of them, the eldest is the 41-year-old Komande, but it is Lucas, who is slightly younger than Komande, who makes the decision.
Lucas only had a pair of eyes exposed from under the windshield mask. He looked around and said: "The wind seems to be getting stronger and stronger. It's really windy and it's really not suitable to continue walking. Just do what Rourke said, find a Let’s talk about a place to take shelter from the wind.”
The Gobi Desert is vast and there are not many places to take shelter from the wind, but there are always some. The place where Alice and the four of them live now is in a ditch, surrounded by a grassland with a lot of sandweeds growing on it. Judging from the situation, the ditch should be a dried up river, which only floods into a river in the rainy season and becomes a river in the dry season. Just disappeared without a trace.
After dusting off the sand on their heads, everyone took off their hats and sand-proof masks. A few mouthfuls of cold water fell into their throats, and the suffocating heat in their bodies immediately dissipated a lot. Alice licked the remaining moisture on her lips. At this time, the wind outside Tugouzi became louder and louder, whistling among the grass.
Jennifer exhaled the hot air in her stomach and said: "With such a strong hot wind, we have to dry it if we continue. Hey, there won't be a sandstorm."
" Probably not. "Comand said: "It's still far away from the desert, and the storm in the desert can't blow here. But with such strong winds, we won't be able to leave for a while."
< br>
After speaking, several people were speechless for a while, each feeling depressed. Maybe the atmosphere was too quiet. Jennifer looked at Alice. She wanted to find a few words to chat if she had nothing to say: "Alice, I don't think you are a full-time mercenary. You are just a mercenary." Is there anything important for people to go to a remote place like Xisha City?”
“Nothing, I’m just traveling and want to see cities around the world,” Alice said.
