Heimarian Odyssey Chapter 152: Oasis
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Knight's Journey!
Because there might be a community of sand moths nearby, the convoy just started to leave the next morning after finishing repairs.
Riding on the horse, Locke curiously fiddled with a piece of sandworm's back shell.
"What use does the magicians want this thing?" He felt that the sandworm's carapace had no other characteristics except that it was extremely hard.
I tapped my finger and made a dull sound of "boom". This carapace is lighter than steel, but harder than steel. It would be great if it could be made into armor. This is Locke's idea.
His bright yellow armor was sprayed into a small area by the acid of Sand Borer in the battle last night. This fine-quality armor is worthy of the large sum of military merit that Locke had spent at the beginning. , Only a thin layer of corrosion.
Some oil, good maintenance, is another 90% new armor.
The direction of advancement is due north. According to the map, there is an oasis with a large area two days away from them.
In addition to being able to replenish enough water, they will also meet people from the Tucson Kingdom for the first time.
"That is the outpost built in the desert by the Kingdom of Ri Tucson." Adjutant Bend has done a lot of work, and he has found out clearly, "There will probably be a squadron of Ri Tucson defenders and a three A small village with a population of one hundred."
As a convoy of envoys, Locke and the others do not have to worry about making things difficult from the Kingdom of Tucson. The documents approved by the king himself and the pass granted by the Omor Empire will make their journey unimpeded.
In fact, on the way from Faustine to the Omor Empire, they need to worry more about the attacks of bandits and bandits and the intrusion of other creatures than the regular army passing through the country.
There are many countries. The domestic bandits and bandits are not like small troubles in the Faustan Kingdom. The strong military color and sturdy folk style of Faustan Kingdom make it difficult for large-scale thieves to develop.
In other countries, it’s different. Take the current Kingdom of Tucson as an example. The sand thief in their country is the existence of a tough army that dares to face up to thousands of people. Locke is very It is hard to imagine how the royal family of Tucson can tolerate it.
Maybe the attack by the sand worms that night was too impressive. The convoy moved a few minutes faster than before. Two days later, at noon, the delegation arrived at this oasis called Mochamo,'Mochamo' In desert language, it means a new place.
Whether Mocamo really represents a freshman, Locke doesn't know. What he knows is that he can finally take a good bath. Not only him, but the whole team, there are many people who have this idea.
Two documents from King Faustan and the Omor Empire made the Yerisan knights stationed in Mocamo extend a warm welcome and grand hospitality to the envoy.
This squadron captain of the Rituson Kingdom, who is a mid-level attendant, should have received news from the upper echelons a long time ago. Whether it is food or accommodation, he has prepared enough for the envoy.
One-time, after the delivery of two hundred silver Delek to Captain Yerisan, the team received two days of supply and repair time.
After taking a cold shower in the sheepskin tent, Locke was fortunate enough to observe the lives of the daily Tucson civilians living here.
Most of the men in the Ri Tucson Kingdom have a dark face, thin limbs and long swords hanging from their waists, giving people a sense of nondescript.
Most of the women in the Ritucson Kingdom have fair complexion, chestnut hair wrapped in white gauze, and a bunch of bells on their wrists. According to them, they are meant to drive away the sheep.
Mocamo mainly makes a living by transporting supplies and receiving passengers. From the local people's narration, Locke knew that it was originally in the extreme west of the Tucson desert, in the Kingdom of Tucson and neighboring Kurt. On the border of the kingdom, there was also a regiment of cavalry stationed.
And Mocamo is one of the base stations that transport supplies to this cavalry regiment.
As for the visitors, the locals said that their envoy is the third group of visitors that their small town has hosted in the past three years.
The land is vast and sparsely populated, so I'm talking about the situation around Mocamo.
At night, the Yerisan Knights organized the whole town to hold a grand welcome party for the envoys. The ethnic customs from a foreign land fascinated Locke.
Under the bonfire, the enthusiastic Ri Tucson dancers, shaking Miaoman’s waist, carrying bells, in the cool night breeze, "ding dong, ding dong", eating roasted whole lamb, starting from the Kingdom of Faustine After so long, Locke felt warm for the first time.
The team stopped for two days in the oasis of Mocamo. This is the first welcome received by the envoy for almost a month since the mission. The hospitality of the locals in Mocamo. Locke often used it for a long time. Will remember.
Replenish water and dry food, and the convoy set off again. This time there were a few more camels in the convoy.
Locke walked a few times around a camel with two humps, and was amazed. This was the first time he saw a camel as a domestic animal.
Gobi also exists in the Kingdom of Faustin. He has heard of camels, but he has never seen them. After rubbing the camel's humps, he greeted the camel's impatient snout.
Locke's hand strength has always been great, and it was probably hurting it just now.
Not waiting for the camel to raise his leg to teach the person who offended him, Locke's eyes glared, and he immediately bent his leg to sit on the ground.
"It's afraid of you!" Angelina said to Locke with a smile.
"Does this make your legs weak in fright?" Locke couldn't laugh or cry.
Carefully supporting Angelina to sit in the middle of the two humps, Locke also sat up, "..." The camel under him snorted and stood upright.
"This camel is courageous, but has a lot of strength." Locke said. He and Angelina are not light together, but this camel walks as fast as he can, because it is good at walking in the sand, and is faster than The horses are fast.
These camels were purchased from the residents of Mocamo. The price of each seventy silver delle is cheaper than that of a war horse.
Of course, the currencies of the two countries are not the same. Dele does not circulate in the Kingdom of Tucson, and it was exchanged by Captain Yerisan. He did not suffer. After the defeat of Charlo, Faustandler’s The value of the currency has risen sharply in the surrounding countries, up by at least ten percentage points from the previous period.
These camels have replaced many horses in the convoy. The advantages of enduring hunger and thirst and having great strength have greatly improved the speed of the convoy in the desert.
After leaving Mocamo, the delegation encountered several small oases.
It may be because of the soon to be out of the desert, there is less heat and more moisture in the air.
High-headed horse, Locke looked into the distance, "Where is the next stop?"
"Frye Army Station, the northwest border station of the Kingdom of Ritucson." Bender is a competent adjutant.
In the distance on the skyline, the endless Gobi Desert has disappeared. Instead, there are rolling hills. I don't know if it is an illusion, Locke can feel the long-lost greenery from those hills.
As of mid-October, the convoy of the envoy finally walked out of the Tucson desert. On the night before bidding farewell to the desert, all the soldiers in the Frye Army Station lay down and ate dry food for nearly a month.
For a mouthful of hot and fresh food, the soldiers' requirements have always been simple.
In the military station, he exchanged greetings with several officers of the Ri Tucson Kingdom, and declined these dark-skinned Ri Tucson requests to have dinner, and Locke returned to the convoy.
"Why don't you see the famous sand thief in the desert?" Rafie asked during dinner, and Xia Xi, who was sitting next to Locke, also had curious eyes.
They also heard about the rampant sand pirates in the Rituxen Kingdom, especially rampant in the desert, but it has been almost a month since entering the desert. Except for the sand worm attack, the convoy has not been attacked.
Locke’s political wisdom is not high, and he is also curious. Grace explained to Locke next to him, “Those sand thieves can only bully and bully ordinary people, not to mention that we are an envoy to the Omor Empire. The Kingdom of Faustine, they can’t afford it either."
Through Grace’s explanation, Locke also knew that the Kingdom of Ritucson is not the long-suffering sand thief, but the price is too high. The desert in the western part of their country is uninhabited. They sent a large army to encircle the sand thief and just supply the line. , It will stretch for a long time, and it will also cause frantic revenge from Sand Pirates.
"These sand thieves, to a certain extent, also ensure the safety of their western border." Grace continued, "If other countries invade the Kingdom of Tucson, the first thing they will face is that there is nowhere in the desert. These wolves who are not here."
Perhaps among the sand pirates who are in trouble, there are high-level figures in the Tucson Kingdom?
Of course, these are not outsiders like Locke and need to be considered.
