After being blasted out of the kitchen, Xue Hua followed Anne to the caravan, where Kane was standing, waiting for them with a wooden staff.

"Is there anything wrong with you? Mr. Kane. Xue Hua asked.

"It was Variif who told me to inform you that the departure time has been changed to this evening." Kane greeted him, his face a little solemn.

"What happened? Didn't you say you'd leave tomorrow morning? Xue Hua had a puzzled look on his face.

Caravans generally don't change their time easily, especially in this last depot.

They need to make sure that everyone has the supplies they need to cross the desert so that they don't run out of supplies halfway through.

In desert travel, this kind of problem can be fatal.

"According to Varif, the path explorers they sent reported a new situation, a sudden large sandstorm was moving from the southern coastline towards the center of the desert, and he said that if he could not get ahead of the sandstorm through the 'wandering valley' to the 'mysterious dunes', he would have to wait in the pass until the sandstorm passed......"

"I see, then we need to speed up our preparations......" Xue Hua frowned and nodded.

In general, large caravans, especially caravans whose routes need to pass through some dangerous areas, have a professional pathfinder called "path explorer".

Such a person, like the navigator on a ship, must be a very experienced crosser, and only a civilian.

Because professionals and mercenaries assess dangerous situations completely differently than civilians, situations or environments that are not dangerous to them may be fatal to civilians.

And the vast majority of the people in the caravan are still civilians, and the leader of the caravan needs to be responsible for the vast majority of people.

Therefore, the path explorer's exploration report must not be biased in the slightest, and must be realistic, taking into account all the difficulties that ordinary people can endure.

This allowed the caravan leader to have an accurate judgment of the upcoming trade route and thus be able to give wise orders.

You must know that even the trade routes that have been traveled for thousands of years are not foolproof, the natural environment is changing all the time, and the situation on the trade routes is also changing.

Especially in the desert.

In Varif's caravan, the path explorers were made up of several old sandmen with an average age of about fifty, who had lived in the desert all their lives, and had followed various teams back and forth between the east and west, and knew the places that the caravan was about to cross, and their judgment was generally very reliable.

So when Xue Hua heard the news, he signaled to Anne and quickly began to classify all the purchased materials, and immediately went to make up for the things that were not purchased.

As they started to get busy, the rest of the caravan got the news and began to speed up their preparations, and even the other caravans that arrived later began to prepare non-stop.

Varif had come before lunch, and told them that after lunch, they would pack up and follow the caravan in the direction of the eastern gate of the pass, and they must hurry as soon as possible, lest they collide head-on with a large sandstorm in the desert.

After lunch, the caravan was busy, and the keepers who took care of the beasts began to feed the beasts of water and even began to water them.

The other professionals, on the other hand, changed their clothes and clothes according to the size of the men in the caravan.

If nothing else, at least the cotton coat and blanket cloak you wore in the cold of the mountains had to be replaced, unless you wanted to be baked into jerky by the scorching desert sun.

Of course, Xue Hua and the others also changed out of the clothes on their bodies, except for the equipment that had to be retained, the other clothes on their bodies were replaced with light white scarves.

The equipment system of the pro and mercenary is very strange, and the pro and mercenary still have the same equipment slots as in the game, which are used to activate the equipment attributes.

The stats of a piece of equipment can only be effective if you put it on and activate it in the equipment slot.

As in the game, only one piece of equipment can be active in each equipment slot at a time.

In other words, you can wear a lot of equipment of the same part on your body at the same time, but at the same time you can only get one of the equipment attributes, and the rest of the equipment will only be treated as ordinary clothing and accessories until it is activated, which is not only useless, but also very easy to damage like ordinary items.

So very few professionals do this kind of thing, you know, ordinary clothing does not have the attribute of "durability".

This means that if you pile them all on your body and don't activate them, they can easily be destroyed by various factors in battle.

When the time comes, it's too late for you to regret it.

Therefore, except for the equipment that has been activated, the other parts of Xue Hua and the two mercenaries are just ordinary clothes, even if they are some specially crafted reinforced leather armor, there is no attribute energy attached, and can only play the most basic blocking effect.

In this case, there is not much difference between changing clothes and not changing clothes.

Especially Xue Hua.

The "Twilight Appearance" equipment was a black-gray robe-like cloth armor, which covered almost all other clothes on his body, except for the ugly one, Xue Hua had been covering the blue quality skull hat with a hood......

However, the clothes that the two girls changed made Xue Hua's eyes shine, and the light white gauze couldn't cover the girls' delicate skin that was whiter than the white gauze.

And then there are the two pairs of long legs that have been liberated from the winter pants......

Ahem... I feel like I don't have enough nutrition!

Xue Hua coughed dryly, forcibly took his eyes off the two girls who were grinning at him, and turned to look at the eastern gate of the pass that the caravan was about to arrive at.

Due to the importance of the Eastern Pass and the significance it represented, Xue Hua didn't believe that there would be no legendary powerhouses here, so he didn't dare to let the Overseer King Worm move his vision to the inside of the fortress.

So this was the first time he saw the eastern wall of this majestic and dangerous pass.

Compared to the western wall, the east wall is not as tall, and unlike the west wall, it is made of heavy giant rocks.

Because the eastern wall faces a desert with frequent sandstorms, the construction of the wall too high does not do anything other than to increase the wind-affected area, and the rock-made walls are also vulnerable to weathering and erosion.

But its greatest feature is its thickness, the thickness of the eastern wall is about twice that of the western wall, and the width of the wall can even allow three large trucks to travel side by side.

Even the guard barracks on the east side of the city wall were built on top of the city wall, and the Rog and the desert guards guarding the city wall would not have come down easily.

As the caravan approached the gate below the city wall, a ray of sunlight that had not been seen for a long time shone through the dark clouds at the top of the city wall, and the golden light was dappled and sprinkled on the ground through the clouds that had begun to become thin, like pieces of broken gold ingots scattered to the world.

"It's... Sunshine? The Roger sisters, who had never seen such a scene before, jumped out of the caravan, and gathered around a large spot of light with a fierce curiosity and a little excitement on their faces.

"It's so beautiful......" Sister Anne looked at the golden glitter with a confused look, from childhood to adulthood, they only vaguely understood what sunshine was in books or songs.

It's the first time I've seen it with my own eyes.

"Hmm... It's so warm......" Sister Funia boldly put a hand into the spot of light, and suddenly, a warm feeling came from the back of her hand, and the little girl's face showed an incredible expression, and her mouth let out a dreamy murmur.

Seeing the performance of the two girls, Xue Hua and Kane glanced at each other, and their expressions were a little regretful.

"The Canduras region, which has not seen the sun for hundreds of years... Some children don't even know what sunlight looks like from birth to death......" Kane shook his head, a deep pain hidden in his flat tone.

"I'll fix this... And it is guaranteed to make those who caused all this pay a high price. ”

Xue Hua looked at the two girls who were happily chasing the light spots, his eyes slowly narrowed, and his words were unprecedentedly firm.
