Demon King, Don’t Run Away Chapter 462: The seemingly absurd cause of the war

Kafizzaro Desert, where countless people are buried by yellow sand every year, is a restricted area of ​​life. Even if a few more people disappear in a year, no one will know.

It was the slave hunter's fault that she and her brother were exiled to a foreign land. After Yang Yu played with them, Ias didn't hold back for a moment and shot them through the heart without mercy and buried them in the yellow sand.

A night of silence.

The next day, Yang Yu and Qingshi waved to each other and confirmed that no one else wanted to use them as a bus. After meeting Lotkar outside the town, they officially headed towards Wansheng Country.

In the boundless yellow sand, Lotkar, who had always been fast, also slowed down. In addition, the march had to be stopped in the hot noon. It would take Yang Yu and the others at least a week to cross the vast desert and reach Wanshengzhi. country.

As the temperature rose, Ias pulled the scarf around her neck and tried to fan her neck. However, in the desert, the wind was also hot. If the wind blew into her clothes, she would only feel it. Unbearable heat.

After confirming that it was far enough away from the town, Qingshi reminded Ias that if she felt hot, she could take off her stuffy clothes without worrying about her identity being exposed.

During the strategy, Ias never took off the scarf and headscarf around her neck, and kept hiding her identity as an elf from Qingshi.

When Qingshi said that she was a demi-human, Ias was very surprised.

Qingshi explained with a wry smile that demi-humans often find desert guides, hoping that the desert guides can lead them across the desert.

Qingshi's father, Jiao Sha, has received many demi-humans, but he only received them secretly, and he hardly told others.

The slave trade has existed since a long time ago, and many demihumans would cross the desert to Setis in search of their captured compatriots.

When the desert guides arrive in the land of prosperity, these demi-humans will often find the desert and offer generous rewards, hoping that the desert guides can lead them through the desert.

A demi-human who successfully rescues his compatriots will also choose to find a desert guide if he wants to return to his country.

In order to prevent others from seeing their true identities, these demi-humans often dress up carefully and quietly look for desert guides at night, and then leave quietly at night.

When Qingshi was a child, he was often awakened by these demi-humans.

At first, Qingshi felt that these people who wrapped their bodies tightly were very scary, but after following his father and them into the desert, Qingshi realized that except for the appearance of these demi-humans, they were basically the same as humans. no difference.

There are good people and bad people in the world of demi-humans. The young Qingshi knows that he who can risk his own life to find those who have lost his compatriots is definitely not a bad guy.

It is a pity that as the war between the Kingdom of Wansheng and the Luoze Empire gradually heated up, the town where Qingshi was located also became a stronghold frequented by slave hunters, and few demi-humans came here to look for desert guides.

On the contrary, whenever the Desert Guide arrives in the Land of Ten Thousands of Prosperities, a large number of demi-humans will always come to the door, either using coercion or pleading to ask the Desert Guide to take them through the desert to Seti. Silk.

So, Qingshi was not surprised by the appearance of the demi-human.

If there are demi-humans in the team, the desert guide will also provide special services to keep a distance from other people trying to cross the desert and avoid too much contact with other human teams.

After getting Yang Yu's permission, Ias slowly took off her scarf and turban, revealing her identity as an elf and revealing her beautiful face.

When Qingshi saw it, he couldn't help but look at it a few more times, then he smiled honestly and looked away embarrassedly.

It took a day or two for Qingshi to adapt and be able to communicate normally with Ias.

It was the lunch break of another day. As usual, Yang Yu took out the tools to relieve the heat and let the team rest on the spot.

Unconsciously, Yang Yu and the others gradually approached the center of the Kafizzaro Desert.

The most common scene in the desert is the same sand dunes. Once they lose their way, Yang Yu and the others are likely to go back along the original road and make a wasted trip.

On the way, we occasionally saw a few mirages, but Qingshi could always keenly judge that those were just mirages, saving Yang Yu and the others the energy to go and check.

There are also oases in the Kafizzaro Desert, and many desert guides plan their routes based on this.

But the appearance of oases is often accompanied by ferocious monsters. Since Yang Yu and the others were well prepared and did not need to replenish resources and make large-scale adjustments midway, Qingshi adjusted the route to avoid those oases and take the shortest path. Go to the land of prosperity.

Outside the tent, the scorching sunshine distorted the air, and the golden sand was as hot as a hot pan. Throwing an egg in would instantly turn it into a fried egg.

Yang Yu and the others were sitting in the tent. The melting ice took away most of the heat in the tent. Even Lotkar, who was covered in hair, felt a chill and could lie down and rest peacefully.

Bai Jin followed the methods taught by Qingshi and continued to practice to improve her ability to perceive magic.

He Meng, Ias and Huck were leaning next to the ice cubes. Ias was trying to use the knowledge she learned from books and the milk, eggs, and sugar she begged from Yang Yu to make a soft and chewy ice cream. Ice cream, however, kept failing, freezing a bunch of mixture into ice cubes.

Yang Yu sat next to Qingshi and learned about the war between the Luoze Empire and the Wansheng Empire.

Qingshi didn't know much information, but he still tried his best to tell Yang Yu everything he knew.

The war between the Luoze Empire and the Wansheng Kingdom lasted for eight full years.

The cause of the war is ridiculous.

The Luoze Empire is also a strange country to talk about. They have a habit of building sculptures of their ancestors on the border. They believe that as long as the sculptures of their ancestors stand on the border, they can protect the strength of their empire from generation to generation.

Once the boundary is drawn, new sculptures will be erected on the boundary at regular intervals.

And because the sculptures were of the ancestors of the empire, they were extremely fond of the sculptures themselves, and even wrote into the law that they could not make any sculptures that would damage the establishment of the empire.

Any act that dares to tarnish or damage the statues of the Empire will be regarded as discrediting the glory of the Empire.

The fuse of the war occurred in a city with an imperial statue standing there and where the two countries were closely connected - Michelostan.

It was a commercial city opened by the Luoze Empire to the Wansheng Kingdom for commodity trading. It had been a prosperous commercial city since ancient times, where demi-humans and humans could live in peace.

Until one day, the statue erected by the empire collapsed without warning.

That day, there were children playing and playing under the sculpture. A passing fox orc swordsman stepped forward and cut off the fallen sculpture with his sword, saving the children.
