Chapter 539 Felik Oasis
The scorching sun is like fire, hanging high in the boundless blue sky, baking the boundless desert to a boil, as if every inch of sand is trembling in the heat wave, releasing a scorching breath.
The sky is a pale blue, with no clouds daring to appear here. Only the sun dominates the sky, pouring down golden light mercilessly, adding a dazzling golden color to the desert.
In this vast and harsh sea of sand, there are almost no traces of life. Only a few withered and yellow shrubs are stubbornly rooted in the sand. Although their branches and leaves have lost their former vitality, they still stand stubbornly. , becoming a rare embellishment in this desolate place.
Deep in this desert where life seems to be extinct, a caravan stretching hundreds of meters slowly marches, like a slender black line, outlining the trajectory of life on the golden sand curtain.
The camels in the caravan carried heavy goods on their backs, and their steps were steady and powerful. They exhaled white air from time to time, which stood out in the hot air. Like the guys in the caravan, they endured the scorching sun. . As the caravan marches, camel bells ring one after another, crisp and long, crossing the silent desert and becoming the most beautiful melody in this desolate world.
There was something different at the end of the caravan.
Li Si sat leisurely on the camel, slowly swaying at the back of the caravan, flipping through a thick and simple book in his hand.
The specially made magic props cooled the surroundings of his body, dispelling the scorching heat in the desert.
Even the camel Li Si sat on was quite comfortable, shaking his head and looking around. Maybe this was the first time he had experienced such a relaxing and comfortable journey after being bought by the caravan.
Duke, who was behind Li Si, was no longer in such a leisurely mood.
At this moment, he was only wearing a pair of white pants, and his chest was covered with sweat mixed with sand, and he looked quite embarrassed.
Duke followed Li Si obediently, his steps getting deeper and deeper.
Several days have passed since the sandworm swarm attacked the caravan. During these days, Duke did nothing. He followed Li Si with all his heart and accepted Li Si's guidance.
Duke's profession is an assassin. He originally thought that Li Si would give him some guidance on combat experience and skills, but he did not expect that after asking about his abilities, Li Si directly taught him several advanced assassin combat skills. .
Even Li Si demonstrated it directly in front of him, so that Duke almost didn't react.
Could it be that Master Li Si is a gold-level assassin?
But what happened to the bow and arrow that killed the sandworm before? Isn't that the hunter's ability?
Duke was full of doubts, but he did not ask Li Si.
If you have this time, it’s better to learn something more from Li Si.
Duke began to exercise hard under Li Si's guidance, and every day was fulfilling and busy.
"Before you break through the gold level, you cannot use the power of shadow to cover your tracks. At this time, the assassin's stealth skills do not really disappear."
"Shadows, wind, obstructions, blind spots."
"Except for some special circumstances, the combat of professional assassins is based on stealth, so you should use the surrounding environment as much as possible to conceal your actions."
"Yes, teacher."
Duke listened to Li Si's voice in front of him, felt the pain from everywhere in his body, and nodded hard.
Li Si also didn't mind Duke calling him teacher.
Although it didn't take much effort, after all, I taught Duke for a few days.
Following Bryce in his caravan these past few days, apart from coaching Duke, Lis spent most of his time learning the casting knowledge he gained from Matthäus.
Matthäus left behind a lot of extraordinary knowledge, but all of it was related to casting.
In fact, Mateus himself was quite powerful, but he did not leave behind any relevant knowledge other than a reminder of the road to becoming a god.
It can be seen that for Matthäus, the achievements and inheritance in casting are more important.
For example, the [Matteus's Casting Notes] in Li Si's hand records all of Matthäus's experience in the casting field.
In addition to the casting of legendary weapons and equipment, there is even Mateusz's exploration of the casting of semi-artifacts.
Yes, semi-artifact!
In a sense, the semi-artifact has broken through the legendary level and possesses some of the characteristics of divine power.
But few people study this aspect. Just like artifacts, semi-artifacts also have to wait for the blessing of divine power.
How could a superior god waste his own power to build a semi-artifact that was of little use to him?
The vast majority of existing demigods were basically forged by demigods who were on the road to becoming gods, relying on their own strength.
But Mateus' situation is somewhat special. He is the son of the dwarf forging god, which gives him the qualifications to study semi-artifacts.
[Matthaus's Casting Notes] also left many drawings and notes related to it, which is also quite precious knowledge.
Li Si seemed to be struggling with a lot of the knowledge in this notebook.
This is under the premise that he has studied equipment casting for a long time before, has personally forged legendary equipment, and has a fairly good knowledge reserve.
If it were someone else, the notebook that Mateus left behind was like a heavenly book that could not be read and understood.
Li Si was in this situation now. Most of his mind was focused on the casting notes in his hand, and he paid some attention to look at Duke.
Anyway, during the month when the power of space eroded his body, Li Si couldn't use his magic power to conduct magic research. He might as well take this opportunity to study more about Mateusz's inheritance.
When you go back to the Garno Mountains, you can also turn into a craftsman and go to the Dwarf Capital.
See if you can find an opportunity to touch it.
Anyway, with [Shapeshifter's Mask], it should still be possible, right?
Just when Li Si was thinking about whether it was practical to enter the holy land of the Dwarf Kingdom, the entire caravan stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Duke also noticed the situation of the caravan and looked up at the sky strangely. It was obvious that it was not time to rest yet.
After looking at Li Si, Duke consciously went to the front of the caravan to inquire about the situation.
After a while, Duke ran back, came to Li Si's side and said:
"Teacher, the direction of the caravan seems to be a little off."
"There is an oasis camp ahead. Uncle Bryce and others asked the caravan to stop first, and they went to inquire about the location."
Li Si nodded, not paying much attention.
After all, there are almost no fixed road signs when traveling in the desert. The caravan can only rely on the position of the sun and stars to determine the direction.
It is normal for the direction to deviate, as long as the general direction is correct.
The oasis is the most common and important landmark in the desert.
Oases are patches of fertile soil in vast deserts, appearing where there is a constant supply of fresh water all year round. Oasis vary in size, like beautiful pearls on the desert sea, embedded in the desert, shining with magical colors. Oasis may be formed naturally or formed by other people's modification of the terrain, but without exception, oasis is the most sacred place in the hearts of desert travelers.
Whenever they encounter an oasis, the caravans traveling through the desert always want to visit it.
On the one hand, it is to inquire about the location of one's own existence, and on the other hand, it is to replenish supplies such as water.
Over time, many oases formed fixed camps to provide services to passing caravans and travelers.
A moment later, Duke came back with new news.
"Teacher, there is the Felik Oasis ahead. Uncle Bryce and the others are going to enter the oasis to make some repairs."
"Felik Oasis?"
Li Si looked at Duke in front of him and confirmed again.
"Yes."
Duke nodded repeatedly.
There are quite a few oases in the desert, but Li Si still knows the name Felik Oasis.
Like the Tourt Oasis, the caravan's destination, the Felik Oasis is one of the large oases in the southern part of the desert. Tens of thousands of people lived in this land with abundant water and grass, and a city-state was established on this oasis.
But.
If Li Si remembers correctly, the directions of Felik Oasis and Tourt Oasis are quite different!
The direction is almost thirty or forty degrees off.
Li Si was a little speechless, but he was not in a hurry.
When the period of space power erosion has passed and he can use space spells, he can leave the caravan without having to travel like this.
After waiting for a while, the caravan began to move forward again, heading due west.
After turning four or five sand dunes, what comes into view is a patch of green.
Deep in the endless desert, the sun poured down like molten gold, baking the sand to a boil, and a golden patch stretched to the horizon, seemingly endless.
On this horizon where despair and thirst are intertwined, a refreshing picture miraculously emerges, like an oasis gifted by God abruptly and mysteriously embedded in the embrace of the desert.
As if it were nature's most exquisite ink painting, a vast and vast lake quietly appeared in the desert. The water was crystal clear, sparkling, and sparkling like emeralds in the sunlight. This lake is not only the source of life, but also like a bright pearl in the desert, attracting the eyes and hearts of tired travelers. The surface of the lake ripples gently, and occasionally a few water birds fly across the water, leaving a few circles of delicate ripples, adding a bit of agility.
Surrounding this large lake, emerald green forests and dense shrubs are like a green ocean, slowly spreading in all directions, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding desert. These green barriers not only provide a habitat for many creatures, but also block the invasion of the moving sand dunes as if they have magic power, protecting this precious oasis from the harassment of wind and sand.
In the heart of the oasis, you can vaguely see a city surrounded by earth-yellow city walls. It stands quietly in a corner of the big lake, integrating with the surrounding natural landscape without losing its unique charm. The city wall has been baptized by wind and sand, and looks simple and solemn. It seems to be the guardian of time, witnessing the changes of this oasis through the ages.
At the moment they saw the oasis, many people in the caravan cheered.
After many days of boring and arduous travel in the desert, even Li Si felt a little happy at the moment.
Li Si looked at the oasis in front of him and sighed in his heart.
Felik Oasis is quite special in the desert. It is not a naturally formed oasis, but the territory of a legendary druid.
Strictly speaking, it is an oasis transformed from scratch by the legendary Druid [Oxacus Sage] Felik.
The western desert on the Fanor continent was formed after a great war in ancient times. The influence of the remaining power has made this land always barren.
Some druids who specialize in maintaining the balance of nature came here specifically and wanted to restore the once fertile land here.
Felic's Oasis is one of those places that the druids have successfully transformed.
Although the achievements of those druids were compared to the entire Western Desert, the gap was still quite huge.
But no one would ever laugh at the vision that the druids devoted their lives to.
Because the oasis that the druids worked hard to build has become the home of many lives in the desert, and countless people rely on it to survive.
Therefore, if someone wants to destroy the oasis, there is no need for the druids to take action. All people related to it will volunteer to fight for it.
It is said that the creator of Felik Oasis, the Oak Tree Sage, is still living in the city in the oasis, guarding the oasis.
Thinking of this, Li Si remembered something.
Because there are relics from ancient times under the desert, there are some special places in many places in the desert.
Just like the temple of [Azus, the God of Fantasy and Knowledge].
And Felik Oasis also has a very peculiar place.
In the desert not far to the west of Felik Oasis, there is a quicksand vortex called [Gavin Vortex].
Just like the eye of the sea, the quicksand there is constantly being swallowed by whirlpools like water, as if there is no end.
There have been attempts to explore the bottom of the quicksand vortex, but no one has ever succeeded.
It's okay at the edge, but no one who goes deep into [Gavin's Vortex] survives, and over time no one dares to try.
But that doesn’t mean no one goes to [Gavin Vortex].
Someone discovered that the quicksand vortex has a unique power. The temperature of the sand in the quicksand area is quite high, and as long as you stay in the quicksand vortex to exercise, your body's strength will slowly increase, and the effect is quite good.
So a lot of people come here just to exercise here.
After all, as long as we don't go deep into the depths of [Gavin's Vortex], there is no problem with safety.
The reason why Li Si knew about this was because he had been here in his previous life.
For players, as long as they stay in the quicksand vortex for a certain period of time, they can get a specialty called [Quicksand Body Refining], which has a certain bonus to endurance attributes and physical strength.
This specialty is almost equivalent to free prostitution, and the attribute bonus is also considerable, so players who come to the Western Desert will basically come to Felik Oasis for this purpose.
Now that I have arrived at Felik Oasis, I just want to go to [Gavin Vortex].
If you don’t use the expertise of prostitutes for free, you won’t get it for free!
Li Si thought so, but when he came to [Gavin Whirlpool], he saw an acquaintance.
An acquaintance that surprised him!
"Why is she here?"
