This is an endless desert. The black wind rolled up and the yellow sand covered the sky.
In the undulating lines, a caravan with camel bells is marching forward against the wind and sand.
Everyone in the caravan was wrapped in headscarves. Because the dust was blinding, it was difficult for them to see the way ahead, but they were all old desert tourists. Under the guidance of the camel bell, they were not afraid to get lost, but they moved slowly.
At this time, the wind and sand suddenly and slowly decreased. The leader's face was more cautious than before. He shouted to the people behind him: "everyone cheer up. This section of the road is the most dangerous road we will experience in the desert without return. Be sure to follow closely and don't stray!"
Everyone's expression became nervous. All of them knew that this was the famous Dead quicksand area of Wugui desert. The reason why this desert is called no return is also because it is full of undercurrent quicksand.
Once you fall into quicksand, you don't have to think about returning.
Everyone followed the leader tremblingly for fear that if they took a wrong step, they would fall into quicksand.
But just then, a tall man wrapped in a black cloak came out of the caravan alone and walked slowly towards the most dangerous quicksand center without looking back.
"Hey, don't leave the caravan within ten meters, or the consequences will be unimaginable!" The leader shouted anxiously. The man was a passenger on the way. Worried that he would encounter danger when walking alone in the desert, he decided to give him a ride.
"Thank you for your hospitality. My journey is over. Now I need to find an old friend for a drink." The voice of the man in the cloak is very low, but strangely, in the hinterland of the desert where the wind and sand have not disappeared, it has clearly spread to everyone's ears.
"Old friend? In the quicksand of death, there are no living people except the bodies trapped in the ground?" Everyone was surprised.
Someone tried to dissuade them, but the leader seemed to think of something and stopped their shouting.
"When I was a child, my father told me. It is said that in the hinterland of Wugui desert, there is a paradise of extraordinary people. He used to fall into quicksand here and was saved by a woman flying in mid air..." he always thought this was just a lie made up by his father. Is it true or not?
No matter what the people of the caravan thought, the cloaked man slowly entered the sandstorm and finally disappeared into the sight of the people.
The cloaked man walked in the quicksand area, but he walked on the ground.
Even if there was a clear circle of quicksand around, he didn't even mean to detour. He stepped directly in the quicksand without slowing down at all.
Where he walked, he left no footprints. His weight was as light as a feather, leaving no trace in the desert.
The cloaked man walked for less than half an hour and finally reached the center of the dead quicksand area.
Speaking of, the periphery is a sandstorm, but here there is no wind and sand, calm and dead.
It is still the vast desert, the only unique place, where there is a pillar like a stone pier. The top of the column is carved with an Eagle crown, and the body is a tortuous primitive totem.
When the cloaked man approached the stone pier, the surrounding scene suddenly changed.
The stone piers began to split at the speed of the naked eye. Soon, the cloaked man was surrounded by more than 200 stone piers.
The two stone piers near him suddenly opened their eyes: "Tao miheba puzzle, San Gu snow conjecture, corridor maze, choose one of three. The successful person can enter the treasure house and start your different life."
The cloak man was silent for a moment, and suddenly opened his cloak and showed his face.
Although the appearance is not handsome, it is full of strong masculinity. A neatly trimmed black gray beard with a slightly upturned tail. His exposed neck was tattooed with the sand of time.
This tattoo means: ash time.
The cloaked man is the head of the ashes time business group, "whale hunter" bill.
"Zibo totem, I'm looking for the old guy vifitte. I haven't seen him for a long time. I want to have a drink with him." Bill road.
As beers showed his true face, his eyes on the stone pier slowly became divine: "it's beers. You came just in time. I have an endless number puzzle here that can't be solved. Come and help me."
Beers sighed. The Zibo totem is the gatekeeper of Xidi Mosha. The stone spirit is good at everything. The only headache is that he loves mathematics.
All people in and out will be pestered by him to solve problems. If you have excellent math skills, it will even give you benefits.
It is said that there was a mortal who wanted to enter the wizard world without talent thousands of years ago. Later, because he solved a mathematical puzzle that had plagued the ZB totem for hundreds of years, the ZB totem directly gave him a bottle of medicine to increase the upper limit of mental power, making him an extraordinary person, which shows his love for mathematics.
Seeing that the ZB totem didn't open the door at all, beers could only say, "well, put out the problem."
Bill's mathematical skills are not necessarily good, but after all, he is a formal wizard with strong data processing ability. Although it did not help zber totem solve the answer, it helped it sort out its previous shortcomings.
"It seems that you have tried your best. I'd better leave the rest to me." After the Zibo totem said, all the stone piers disappeared, leaving only one stone pier.
In the center of the stone pier, a ladder appeared out of thin air.
"I have informed vifitte that he will arrange for the demon servant to pick you up." When Zibo totem finished this sentence, he stopped talking to people.
Beers shook his head and walked into the stairs.
After a while, under the guidance of a fat gerbil, bill came to the reception room of vifitt in the dark desert underground palace.
To Bill's surprise, there was not only vifitte in the room, but also a shadowy man sitting opposite vifitte.
"Beers, haven't you seen me for nearly thirty years? Why do you suddenly think of me?" Vifitte was a little old man with a white beard and a bent body. His eyes were almost covered by loose skin. He stood up and smiled at beers: "do you want to recommend me to buy slaves? I can tell you that I'm not interested in ordinary slaves."
"There are no good goods recently. It's good to get an anonymous mertel some time ago, but it has been shipped." Beers and vifitte hugged, sat on the other side of the sofa, glanced at the man who looked like an empty shadow, and said, "I'm here this time. I just want to have a drink with you."
"Mertel has shipped? Alas, this thing is very useful in my desert underground palace. Why don't you tell me first that I can compete fairly with that man." A sigh of regret flashed across vifitte's face.
"Even if you compete fairly, you may not be able to compete with him." After a pause, beers shrugged. "Besides, I want to sell it to him rather than to you."
"Who is he? I think he's someone who's good for your interests?" Vifitte was not angry, but still smiled.
"I am a very principled person. I will never disclose the seller's information."
Wilfield also knew Beers' principles. He was willing to deal with such slave traders and became an old friend because beers obeyed the rules very much.
"Well, I won't ask." Vifitte also sat down: "but you said you came to me for a drink. I don't believe it. Just say what you mean."
Bierce glanced at the shadow again and saw that he had no evasive action. He simply didn't speak.
He came to vifitte, of course, for angel's sake. Although it's just a trivial matter, as a well behaved businessman, he doesn't want others to hear.
Vifitte seemed to understand what beers meant. He smiled and still didn't introduce the identity of the virtual shadow: "no problem, I don't believe you came to me to talk about anything important. If you tell me the shocking news, I'll arrange you to wait for me in the secret room immediately. If not, it's OK to say it here."
The news that beers wanted to ask was naturally not important. After thinking about it, he still asked.
However, for the sake of his own principle, beers didn't speak directly, but said to vifitt through voice transmission: "I just want to ask you, are you willing to sell your magic stripe skin roll that increases your lucky attribute?"
After listening, vifitte shook his head almost immediately: "no, no, this is my baby."
"This is what one of my customers needs. You might as well make a price. Even if you ask too much, as long as I can reply to that customer."
Viviter: what's the price? OK, give it to me and I'll change it
Beers: "... You're really asking too much." The value of a drop of constant debris is countless times higher than the magic stripe leather roll of lucky attribute.
"A drop of constant debris needs to be collected if I want to come. To be honest, I don't want to change it."
Beers thought, "all right, just reply."
After asking business, beers didn't leave. He said he wanted to have a drink with vifitte before. It's not a lie. He hasn't seen him for decades. He still wants to get together and talk.
Moreover, vifitte has lived for more than 800 years. Both experience and vision are very old. It is easy to be inspired to communicate with vifitte. Maybe an inspiration can make him realize the way ahead.
Vifitte didn't refuse bill, but took out his best wine and drank with bill.
The two talked a lot, from the current form of the southern region to their respective roads in the future, as well as the latest research topics. Beers was also very happy. The only thing that made him a little confused was that the virtual shadow didn't disappear from beginning to end, and he didn't speak.
Beers repeatedly wanted to ask the identity of virtual shadow, but every time he gently wanted to lead the topic to virtual shadow, vifitt avoided answering, or shifted other topics. Later, beers didn't bother to ask, so he thought of it as a shadow.
"... the prospect of the vast continent is worrying. The abyss can't be turned back, and the shadow of the demon God envelops the world. I don't know whether your excellency Munch is right or wrong." Vifitte shook his head: "not only that, the situation of Yongye in neighboring countries also worries me. I always feel that Yongye's situation is more terrible than the shadow of the demon God. I'm worried that with the spread of Yongye, we will not be far affected..."
Xidi Mosha is located in fengrao country, and the northeast of fengrao country is Yongye country.
"Speaking of it, I've always wanted to know what's going on in the eternal night country?" Beers asked that although he knew that the sleepless city of the eternal night country had been occupied and the dark night front was preparing to evacuate, he didn't know the specific reasons for the occupation of most of the eternal night country.
Vifitte shook his head: "I don't know, but someone should understand."
"Who?"
"Magic master 'Sanders'. He is the only official wizard who has gone deep into sleepless city and survived. Maybe he knows something."
"Your Excellency has entered the sleepless city and come out?"
"Yes, not only that. I also heard that he brought out several apprentices from savage caves, including his students." Vifitte didn't know that Sanders didn't bring his disciples out. The truth was exactly the opposite of what he thought.
"Student?"
"Yes, it's the man who is stirring up the situation in the alchemy world in the southern region. I think it's called... Angel."
