Chapter 375: The Desert Emperor whose noble priest is about to return
Kenese, this city located in the middle of the oasis, is drowned in bright colors and noisy prosperity.
The air was filled with a strong strange smell, and the arched canvas tents next to each other almost covered the entire street.
The sound of fierce bargaining, mixed with the pungent smell of spices and barbecue, can be heard everywhere.
Taliya walked along the street, looking at the carpets and weavings placed in front of the tent, and childhood memories flooded into her mind.
With the blessing of the Weaver Mother, the young playmates spun the wool into yarn to protect the tribe from the cold at night.
Everyone is showing off their spinning, printing and dyeing skills, or weaving tribal legends into beautiful pictures.
However, after a while.
The childhood memories in Taliyah's mind were impacted and completely shattered.
The vendors on the street were boasting about themselves, grabbing Taliyah as she was passing by and forcing her to buy some woven products.
Wait until Taliyah arrives at the stall.
The young and old in the family walked out of the tent and begged Taliyah with tears in their eyes to buy more to solve their livelihood problems.
Someone even grabbed Taliyah's robe with one hand and pulled her deeper into the tent. The items sold were all disgusting pests common in the desert.
Just when Taliyah was at a loss, Huo Jixing walked out and led her to squeeze a way through the crowd.
Under the influence of spiritual power, the crowd that came quickly dispersed.
The journey afterwards became much more convenient, and no one dared to come here again.
Huo Jixing and Taliyah walked along the broad street leading to the ruined city wall and saw hundreds of people crowded on both sides.
Wretched old men who look like wise men sit under the porch and smoke their pipes, the fragrant smoke evaporating like mist.
Taliya glanced casually and saw the marks of many different tribes. The ones she could recognize were Babei, Zagaya and Yeshenye, but there were more than a dozen others she had never seen before. Saw it.
These tribes used to make a living near Wekaula, but they don’t know why they came to Kenese.
When she left Shurima, she still remembered that they were still mortal enemies.
Now they are like comrades on the battlefield, sitting together peacefully.
"A lot has changed since I left." Taliyah whispered to herself.
She suppressed the emotions in her heart and walked in front of Huo Jixing, chatting about the nearby tribal culture and occasionally introducing desert items on the stalls.
Immediately afterwards, she began to buy the supplies she would need for her future journey.
Includes bacon, oats, bread and cheese, plus two skins of water.
Fresh water is the most important resource in the desert and can usually only be replenished in oases and the Mother of Life.
(There is a winding river in Shurima continent that runs through the desert. People call this river the mother of life, which means the mother of all life.)
Just in Tali While Ya and Huo Jixing were strolling around, there were bursts of noise from the broad streets.
The crowd suddenly became restless, squeezing toward both sides of the street as if they were trying to avoid something.
Huo Jixing raised his eyes and saw the red-golden light flashing in his pupils.
"Hey, are they extraordinary people?"
I saw two warriors wearing fitted armor made of copper plates and beast-shaped helmets on their heads appearing in the field of vision.
They worked together to carry a metal disc engraved with mysterious patterns, walking on the street like a royal parade.
The scorching sunlight falls on the surface of the metal disk, and the golden light reflected smudges it into a fragment plucked from the sun.
An extraordinary person wearing gorgeous robes sat on the metal disk in an elegant and dignified posture.
His eyes are deep and distant, as if he can see everything in the world, and there is a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, showing his extraordinary temperament to the world.
The extraordinary person lowered his eyes, looked at the crowds of people on both sides of the street, waved lazily, and looked arrogant from the corners of his eyes.
In the crowded crowd, some people whispered, some stared with bated breath, and some prayed silently.
At this moment, the appearance of the extraordinary person became the focus of the street, and everyone's eyes fell on him.
As the two warriors slowly marched carrying the metal disk, the atmosphere in the street became more and more solemn.
The extraordinary person always maintained a sitting posture. It was not until he disappeared into the distance of the street that the crowd regained some movement.
“He is a cleric!”
Taliya looked at the direction in which the extraordinary person was leaving and introduced softly.
“Each priest has a high status in the Shurima continent because they have the blood of the royal family of the Shurima Empire.”
"Especially at this time, there are rumors that the ascended emperor of Shurima may have returned to his yellow sand kingdom."
"The priests were affected and received unprecedented benefits in every city. "Preferential treatment."
Huo Jixing frowned slightly when he heard this. The ascended emperor of Shurima returned to the world?
He had heard this news when he was in the Noxus Empire. He thought it was false, but looking at the behavior of the Shuriman people, something seemed wrong.
Taliyah was immersed in the topic of the clergy and did not notice the previous situation at all.
Suddenly!
A tall figure wearing a robe appeared at the corner of the street.
Taliya was caught off guard and hit her directly, but she was ejected.
Fortunately, Huo Jixing reacted and put his arms around Taliyah to prevent her from lying flat on the ground. superior.
“When did it appear?”
Huo Jixing's pupils tightened and he looked solemnly at the tall, motionless figure.
He was always releasing his spiritual power, but at that moment, he didn't feel the other person's breath at all.
Taliya also reacted, feeling like she had hit a cliff.
At the noisy street corner, crowds of people are like streams flowing through the rocks and coming and going around the tall figures.
He was wrapped in a rag-like robe from head to toe, but it still couldn't hide his tall and strong figure.
In his hand he held a weapon wrapped in linen, and the broad top was also wrapped in rag strips.
Huo Jixing also found that this guy's legs were bent at a strange angle, making it difficult to move.
"Sorry, I didn't see you just now." Taliyah raised her head and looked at the tall figure in front of her.
He lowered his head and looked at Huo Jixing and Taliyah. His face was hidden in the shadow cast by the stretched turban, but he did not speak. After waiting for a while.
The tall figure spoke in a low voice, with a thick accent and a hum, as if it was coming from a deep well of sadness in his heart.
“Little man, you have to look carefully at the road ahead.”
“Shurima is a dangerous place now.”
“Okay, thank you. Taliyah nodded and replied.
Then they stopped talking and passed each other.
Huo Jixing didn't know if it was an illusion, but when his eyes met the tall figure, he felt a heavy pressure coming towards his face.
"What's wrong?"
Taliya stood up and looked at Huo Jixing, who looked stunned.
"Nothing, do you want to buy anything else?" Huo Jixing shook his head and put away his inner thoughts.
"Well, that's almost it." Taliyah glanced at her package. The supplies were enough.
"Then let's say goodbye."
She raised her gentle face and said with a soft smile.
In front of the ruined city wall of Keneser, Huo Jixing watched Taliyah disappear into the vast desert.
This is not far from Weikaola, and there are many tribal camps on the road where you can get supplies.
"Destiny?"
Huo Jixing murmured to himself.
The reason why he followed Taliyah into Kennesse was because of the noise caused by the Snow White Poro.
Talyya seems to have a special destiny and returns to the continent of Shurima.
The facts are almost the same.
Huo Jixing recalled the tall figure he had just met, his eyes dim.
The weapon was wrapped in linen, the wide top was also wrapped in rag strips, and it had slightly strange legs.
And most importantly, the terrifying strength that can ignore his spiritual power.
An answer emerged deep in Huo Jixing's heart, but he could not confirm it 100%.
It was this chance encounter that made him truly feel the illusory destiny.
It was just a simple act of purchasing supplies, and I encountered such a mythical existence.
Farewell to Queen Taliyah.
Huo Jixing continued to wander around Keneser for a while, purchased a few tomb objects, and brought some residual magic power with him, which could be broken down into some essence.
Then he saw that it was almost time and returned to the Myrdalda caravan.
Xia Mara has ended the transaction and is directing the slaves to reposition the goods and pile them on the back of the Doman beast.
The caravan guards also received sufficient rest and supplies, and were in high spirits.
Huo Jixing did not interrupt, returned to his own Duoman beast, and waited quietly.
“Alas!”
He sighed suddenly, unable to hold back his curiosity after all.
Immediately afterwards, he stood up and walked to the edge of the tent, his eyes glowing with red-gold light, looking at Kenese from a distance.
Still as before, thousands of clouds fill the field of vision and surround the city
"Have you hidden it?"
Huo Jixing was thoughtful, and immediately mobilized the Nanli fire in his body to surge into his eyes.
Faintly, the cry of the Suzaku sounded in my ears.
The next moment!
The red golden light shone brightly, and a golden cloud broke through the sky, stinging his eyes like the sun and making him feel dazed.
"Is this the power of the sun?"
Huo Jixing thought of the tall figure Kennese met, and an inexplicable look crept onto his face.
“Perhaps we should call it the power of the ascendant!”
The sun is still scorching hot, and the boundless yellow sand is eroding the oasis.
Myrdalda's caravan set off to leave.
Huo Jixing hugged the snow-white Poro and disappeared into the vast desert on the Doman beast.
His purpose is clear and determined, to find Catalina.
As for the dispute in Shurima, he chose to avoid it and did not want to participate in it for the time being.
After Taliyah left Keneser, she walked south along the winding river.
Legend has it that the origin of the Mother of Life originated from the capital of the Shurima Empire in ancient times, but it is no longer possible to find out.
Taliyah closed her eyes and felt the moistness of the hot air, her steps light.
With her ability to manipulate rocks, the dunes and rocks became her horses, obediently letting her ride on her head.
I saw the rock formations below rolling out of the earth like waves, pushing Taliya towards Vicoula in the south.
According to Xia Mara, the former Wekaola has been mostly buried in the yellow sand overflowing from the Dasai Desert.
Nowadays, it is just a tribal camp built on an abandoned old city, a place for travelers passing by to rest.
Taliyah thought that Shyamala's statement was right,
but when she was still some distance away from Vikoula, she realized that Shyamala had been misled by the rumors.
Vikaola has been reborn!
