ps: Modify the wording.

Outside the 'Coconut City', a caravan with a dusty face was riding slowly on a camel towards the city gates. From Barrett's point of view, not to mention compared to the 'Repulse City', even compared to the 'Poitou City', the 'Yelu City' seems a bit inconspicuous, but in the vast Pamir Desert, it is crowned with the title of the Pearl of the Desert.

"How about Mother Boler, brother! That's our pride! The camel clamped under his crotch, and a dark-faced man came to Barrett's side, and pointed to the city in front of him, which was barely touched by the wind and sand.

Barrett, who straightened his cloak, replied with a smile: "It is a miracle that a settlement of this scale can be built on this Gobi Desert!" ”

"Wait a minute, I'll show you the pearl of the desert that we're proud of." The somewhat self-acquainted man said it in a big way, but when he first met Barrett, he showed a completely different attitude.

Two days ago, the eagle in the sky showed Barrett the way forward. Like the nomadic peoples of the steppes, the desert peoples of the Pamirs have the custom of keeping falcons as a means of hunting and scouting. Barrett, who was trudging towards the place where the eagle was hovering in the sky, saw the improvised tents that could only cover his head around about 3 p.m.

These tents may seem messy, but they seem to have some regularity. Among them, ▲~ There are a few tents that are relatively large in size, not to mention, and they are not as empty as other tents, which are obviously where the "superior people" in this team stay. And Barrett's undisguised arrival also caught the attention of this team.

In fact, when Barrett was still thousands of meters away from the summer team, the falcons in the sky had already used their own high-pitched cries to notify the owner of the underground of the arrival of uninvited guests. The Pamiris who had been sleeping under the tarpaulin under the scorching sun. Also had to rush to grab their own weapons. Leave the shady spot and wait for the unknown to come.

And wait until Barrett emerges from the rolling sand dunes on foot. The expressions of these Pamirs in front of them can be said to be varied. Some of them scolded Barrett for disturbing their dreams, some clenched their scimitars, and the older ones all had solemn expressions.

It is well known that the Pamir Desert is arguably the largest area of the Western Continent, where the sale and keeping of slaves was legal. Although the Church of Good God, including the 'Church of the Lords of the Notary', once organized manpower and material resources to change this. But the vast desert and scattered settlements made the efforts of the churches ineffective.

After a few times, the church alliance found that direct action was too cost-effective, and had to abandon the original method of being a little eager for quick success. They turned to the kingdoms around the Pamir Desert and actively resisted the raids of the Pamirs. At the same time, the Pamir Desert region is constantly being influenced by various means such as guò cultural infiltration, commercial trade and medical assistance.

For hundreds of years, the inhabitants of the Pamir desert region did not organize a large-scale slave raid. Even the people who refuse to be civilized have gone from being the best mercenaries (cannon fodder) to the street rats that everyone shouts and beats in the Pamir Desert.

But as long as slavery still existed, the slave trade continued to flourish. Small-scale slavery was inevitable. Although everyone is ostensibly civilized, the public origin of slaves is mostly the descendants of the original slaves, the punishment for crimes, debts and bankruptcy, and even the sale of themselves into slavery. But when the right opportunity arises, these Pamir residents don't mind increasing their wealth.

Even a serious caravan would not miss a good opportunity to plunder, especially if it was a sand thief and a slave hunter - apparently in the eyes of some people, Barrett who walked alone to the caravan was naturally a piece of fat in their bowl.

However, in the eyes of the seasoned elders, Barrett, a solo traveler walking in the desert, carried an air of danger all over his body. After all, with the support of each other, a huge team, they can only live a life of day and night. A person who dares to walk through the desert is either a man with a broken brain and wants to commit suicide, or he has absolute confidence in his own history - and the man in front of him seems to be steady and well-prepared, and it is clearly more like the latter.

As for the survivors who died in the sandstorm. It was even more of a wolf bèi, which might be as clean as Barrett looked.

As Barrett approaches. The recurve bows in this temporary camp were all stretched under the puzzled gaze of the young men, and the arrows on them were all aimed at Barrett. It seemed that if he took a step closer, the arrows would turn into a rain of arrows, shooting Barrett into a hedgehog.

Behind the line of the bearded men's camp that came out of the big tent, he frowned and stared at Barrett as he approached. I saw him beckoning gently, and immediately beside him, a guy who looked slightly round, hurriedly walked on the radish legs that were so disproportionate to the spherical body, and ran to the other party's side with a smoke: "Is there anything that Lord Alexa needs to order?" ”

"Can you find someone to try that guy's strength? He's been standing there for quite some time! This kind of expression seems to have no ill will towards us. Mr. Alexa, touching his shiny beard, said.

The round fat man's facial features seemed to be rolled up when he spoke: "What do you mean, can't the other party determine the identity of our team?" ”

"Since you dare to stand alone in front of so many of us, that guy must have his own support! Maybe in his eyes, we guys are completely lambs to the slaughter, and we just need a good reason. After saying this, Mr. Alexa instructed, "Elaine, make it clear before you start. I don't want to add a strong enemy to the caravan. Of course, if that guy is bluffing, let him spend the rest of his life as compensation for making so many of us enemies. ”

"Don't worry! Alexa-sama, I'll arrange that. Elaine, the fat man who said this, immediately went out into the crowd and shouted, "Wickham go out with me, let's go and try the guy outside." ”

"Got it! Daddy Elaine. The young man who said this licked the scimitar in his hand. His dark brown wavy hair was in the deep eye sockets. A pair of bright pupils are unusually transparent.

The fat man who walked in front saw the dark-skinned young man he named with such a cynical attitude. I can't wait to slap him directly. But there are still some forces behind him. And now he is still needed. The fat man Elaine said to him with a pleasant face: "Don't think that just because you are called a genius in your own tribe, you think that you are really a genius. Know that the world out there is a big one, and your Paynt tribe is just a small place. ”

"Oh! I understand! The bronzed boy replied insincerely. But the fat Elaine didn't say anything further about the desert. After all, for boys of this age, it is the time when the sky is not afraid of the earth. Lacking sufficient experience, they lack the necessary awe.

And the young man in front of him is even more in his eyes, after all, before he left his hometown, he was the pride of the sky, and naturally developed a personality of the eldest and the second. After joining the caravan, although it is not without strong people who can suppress him, they often rely on years of experience or more powerful flesh and body to win, and in terms of combat skills, they are at most comparable to him. In this case, nature fueled his arrogance even more.

'I hope you guys can suffer this time!' With that in mind, Elaine took the plunge and wanted to grab it on foot under the sun. Even if you wrap yourself tightly in a cloak. But in the distance, Barrett could still see the sweat drops of beans overflowing from the fat man's body, and his image was like a piece of fat meat that was constantly flowing in a frying pan.

The fat man, who slowly walked up to Barrett, shouted in the sun at his forehead: "Strange traveler, understand the rules of the great desert!" ”

"Understood! 一qiē comes according to the rules. But let me make sure you're going to 'Coconut City'! Barrett, who has experienced this, naturally knows the local language of the Pamirs, and he also knows the rules of the desert in the mouth of the fat man in front of him.

"Where else can I go if I don't go to 'Coconut City' when I get here?" After saying this, the fat man turned around and excited: "Wickham look at your watch!" You guy don't have to be an expert in infighting. ”

Hearing this, the young man immediately rushed towards Barrett with a brisk stride, his body was light, and even in the middle of running, the sedge under his feet only left a shallow trace on the sand. At the same time, the two bends he wielded in his hand were instantly connected into a knife net, and only the light of the knife was seen, but the shadow of the knife was not seen.

'If it's for Liwei, let's surprise you!' Barrett, who understood the customs of the Pamirs, immediately began to swell in blood. Then a knife light to knife light. However, compared with the opponent's complicated knife net, Barrett only made a knife. This knife bypassed those knife lights that were just for dazzling people's eyes and ears, making it impossible to distinguish between virtual and real, and slashed directly at the root of the opponent's blade. Then, under Barrett's huge strength, the bronze young man in front of him flew upside down. The combination of strength and skill - no fancy sword to break the enemy.

Barrett, who had completed this qiē, gently unsheathed the Mo knife in his hand: "I think I can join your caravan for the time being!" ”

Elaine, the fat man who never expected to encounter this situation, was stunned for a while, and then responded very nervously: "Big! Guru! Welcome to the 'Camel Bell Caravan'. ”

With his words, the caravan members who were in a circle behind them reacted, followed by a series of gasps. After a welcoming ceremony that is rich in the characteristics of the Pamir Desert, Barrett temporarily joined the 'Camel Bell Caravan' and made its way to the city of Coconut Lu.

Along the way, the members of the caravan seemed to have subconsciously distanced themselves from Barrett, not intentionally alienated but from inner awe. The 'Camel Bell Caravan' also did not release any intention of soliciting Barrett, because Barrett's cousin at that time gave them too much stimulation. In each other's eyes, the intersection of the two is already a joke of fate, and the two sides are not in the same world at all.

Only the swarthy young man who had been knocked down by him kept coming up to talk. And after knowing and seeing Barrett's face, he became even more familiar with Barrett. The rest of the caravan looked at Wickham with disdain. However, Barrett, who is anxious to know the current situation in the Pamir region, will still respond to it.

The rest of the day's trip was still the desolate desert Gobi, where there were only bare bare rocks except for golden sand, but in addition to cacti, the occasional sight of some withered weeds through the cracks in the rocks was great news.

But by the next day, a little green finally began to appear in everyone's field of vision. There is a wide sandy road between the tender green leaves on the ground. The sparse head-shaped canopy of tall date palm trees stands tall in the sun. This qiē is in stark contrast to the desolate forbidden area of life behind everyone. It is not only a miracle of nature, but also the crystallization of the blood and sweat of intelligent creatures to transform nature and develop nature.

Just relying on the original natural conditions of 'Yelu City', it is impossible to maintain such a large oasis. For hundreds of years, the inhabitants of 'Yelu City' dreamed of damming rivers, building canals, digging wells, building waterwheels and digging underground canals. The result was a water supply system consisting of hundreds or thousands of shafts spaced apart, connected by underground water canals, usually several kilometers long.

This artificial underground canal, which consists of four parts: a shaft, an underground channel, a surface channel and a small reservoir, takes advantage of the slope of the northern mountain to skillfully divert the underground current formed by the large amount of snow and rainwater in spring and summer into the Gobi Desert, and divert it for irrigation and animal husbandry. The control of the temperature, the strong winds and the valves, plus the constant replenishment of the large waterwheels on the river which wheel spokes are constantly turning. This makes the flow of this underground water supply system stable and ensures self-flowing irrigation.

According to Barrett's findings, compared to 200 years ago, the current 'Coconut Lu City' seems to have expanded a lot outward - it is clear that the inhabitants of these deserts are using their own power to snatch living space from nature. (To be continued......)
