Chapter 167: The White Deer in the Desert [First Update]
In the long yellow sand, two figures, one tall and one short, struggled to move forward.
The wind was strong, and with every step they took, their legs and feet could sink into the yellow sand, which severely hindered their speed.
Especially the little girl in the back, her face was a little bloodied by the wind and sand, but it had dried up.
It can be seen that every step she takes, it is very difficult.
But she was still expressionless and firmly followed Marven.
For her, Marven asked her to do anything, and she would not hesitate at all.
And Marven also did not lend a helping hand to Isabel.
From this little girl with only eighteen years left to live, he saw the shadow of his friend from his previous life. Her road ahead is very bumpy, and it is difficult to save her from the road of destruction, even if it is Marven.
But she believed in herself so much. The way she looked at her eyes made Marven feel a sense of responsibility.
He had to find a way to save her.
So this time he left the White River Valley, and he didn't take anyone with him, but Isabel!
In Marven's conception, he arranged a path full of thorns for her.
That road is far more difficult to walk than the current desert, but it is the only way to live.
"Let's hope this kid can stick to it."
Marven glanced back, Isabel obviously had no strength, but she still insisted on Marven's instructions: no longer use the [Shuttle] ability.
This ability will burn her only few lives endlessly, and Marven ordered her not to use it until she has to.
Every step she took was extremely difficult.
As if this was the fate of the Hamon people.
Marven stopped and waited for a while, and Isabel slowly caught up.
In fact, it had been three days since they left the dead hills.
Marven has a compass in his hand, and the direction will not be wrong.
"It's almost an hour away, how are you?" He asked with concern.
Isabel nodded slightly.
The two moved on.
An hour and twenty minutes later, the wind and sand finally looked a little smaller.
The two walked up to a sand dune, and some people loomed in the distance.
The little girl rubbed her eyes, thinking she was hallucinating.
Marven gently stroked her head, and spit out the sand that was accidentally blown into his mouth:
"This is it."
……
It's an oasis. The most famous town in the eastern part of the Sage Desert [Cathémuel] was built on this grassy oasis.
The desert people believe that this is a land favored by the gods.
Because with the passage of time, many oases in the desert will disappear - but not Catsamuel.
It's been standing here for almost a century.
In the Sage Desert, the most numerous are the Bai people. As for the Sands, they are only a small minority, entrenched in the stone woodlands of the northern Sage Desert, studying their gunpowder and firearms.
"In the language of the Bai people, Catsamuel means 'pearl'."
"The place I said I was going to take you here is."
Marven took Isabelle's hand and walked above the oasis.
Distant towns are getting closer.
This town is not new to Marven, he spent a considerable time here in his previous life, and because of some coincidences, he gained a high reputation and almost became the chief of the Bai people.
He knew a lot about Catimue.
The town is not as peaceful as it seems.
It has a surging undercurrent that is invisible to others. Those terrifying shadows should still be dormant now, but once they erupt, they will make the entire Sage Desert feel fear.
However, Marven is not here to solve the hidden danger of Catemueel.
In fact, he had only one ultimate goal in leaving the White River Valley this time: to get the Flame of Order.
Only by obtaining the flame of order can we resist the impact of chaos magic during the cataclysm, and open up a place of order in the world that is not affected by chaos magic for the time being.
The reason why Ranshi Mountain was able to build a country back then was because the three sisters of the Mandate of Heaven had the fire of order in their hands.
They ignite order and bless the world.
Although Marven didn't know where the Flame of Order in the hands of the three sisters of Destiny came from, he knew that at the beginning, they actually had three Flame of Order in their hands.
The first one was stolen by Glenos, Prince of Shadows. The second one was directly extinguished by the gods with great divine power when it was ignited.
It wasn't until the third one, the eldest of the three sisters, the fierce girl who could tear the black dragon with her hands, personally killed several god clones that she was able to make the flames of order burn.
Despite this, the rocky mountain, which was jealous of the gods, did not last long.
Marven needs the Flame of Order, and he knows the tricks of the gods, so he only needs one.
But if you can get more, it will be better.
So this time his goal of leaving the White River Valley was naturally the country of warlocks - Troubled Stone Mountain!
As for the Sage Desert, it's just passing by.
Catacmuel was a transit point, and Marvin wouldn't even have had to come here if it weren't for Isabel.
It's just that Marven frowned a little that it didn't seem the right time for him and Isabel to come.
Because when they had worked so hard to get to the town, they found that it was under martial law!
Those who do not have identification cannot enter Catsamuel, and may even be arrested as spies by the Bai guards.
"What's going on?"
Marven looked at the large pile of people gathered next to a sign outside of Catimuel with some curiosity.
He took Isabelle's hand and leaned in.
……
In the endless desert, there is no one.
A few lonely cacti slumped to the side of the road.
A hungry and thirsty traveler fell to the side of the road, and he seemed to be lost.
His lips were cracked, probably because he had lost too much water, and if he didn't have the help of others, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to get through this difficulty.
Who knew that at this time, in his field of vision, a flexible white deer suddenly appeared.
A white deer in the desert?
When the average person sees it, they only feel that they are hallucinating.
The traveler, however, staggered to his feet, as if attracted by a strange attraction.
The white deer stayed where it was and didn't move.
He leaned over slowly.
The white deer stood there very meekly, its eyes full of kindness.
However, at this moment, the traveler suddenly showed his hideous fangs, and his face suddenly sunken into a circle of terrifying sharp teeth!
Bailu was suddenly frightened away!
However, it was too late, and the traveler pounced on it and bit the white deer on the neck.
The latter fell to the ground and struggled for a while, and was eventually drained of blood by the traveler and died tragically in the desert.
The traveler smiled, wiped off the bloodstains, and regained his normal appearance.
At this moment, a woman dressed in white fell from the sky.
"Well done."
"Continue to hunt the white deer, but be careful, someone on Catsamuel's side has already noticed our actions."
"We have to be careful of the revenge of the Bais."
The woman whispered.
The traveler said disapprehantly, "Don't worry, Lord Fraudster. ”
"Those stupid Bai people still can't tell the difference between humans and evil spirits."
The woman in white nodded: "That's good." ”
"According to my investigation, legend has it that only by slaughtering a certain number of white deer will the [Holy Spirit White Deer] be wrathed."
"This is the only chance for the White Deer Cave to open, and only by obtaining the treasures inside can we establish the Gate of Calamity."
"You go on, don't let the sacrifices of the Bai people know your actions in advance, otherwise the Holy Spirit White Deer will not leave the White Deer Cave. Got it? ”
The traveler nodded.
In the next second, the wind and sand swept by, and the woman disappeared in place.
The traveler moved on.
And the poor white deer was buried at the bottom of the sand.
……
In front of the notice board, Marven looked at the contents with a stern face.
Unlike the others, he knew exactly what the announcement meant.
"A vicious incident of the large-scale hunting of white deer?"
"No wonder the Bai people are going to blockade Catumue."
"Holy Spirit White Deer, but the holy beast of the Bai people."
Marven's mind came up with information about the living deer.
Legend has it that when the ancestors of the Bai people were forced to migrate to the desert, they were very unaccustomed to life in the desert.
They can't find water, they can't find a place to live.
At this time, the White Deer of the Holy Spirit appeared, which led them forward, and finally found the oasis.
The Holy Spirit White Deer is the god of the Bai people.
It has many offspring, and these magical white deer have the ability to become invisible, and they are scattered all over the desert.
Usually, you can't see their save.
Occasionally, when a lost traveler falls on the side of the road and their lives are in danger, a white deer in the desert will appear.
At this time, just follow in its footsteps and you will be able to find the water source and live.
Similar legends continue to be played out in various parts of the Sage Desert.
These white deer are the objects of protection of the Bai people, and they are also the life-saving benefactors of the travelers in the desert.
But now, the angry Bai people have found a large number of white deer corpses.
Someone is hunting white deer.
This made the Bai people furious, and they sealed off all the oases and began to investigate the matter strictly.
That's what goes on the bulletin board.
Others may only wonder why someone is hunting white deer. But Marven knows the severity of things.
"The slaughter of the white deer is just to draw out the Holy Spirit white deer. Because only in this way does the legendary White Deer Cave have a short opening time. ”
"That artifact can be used to establish dimensional passages...... Who, exactly, is doing this? ”
Marven's mind had a whole bunch of available slots.
In a previous life, a similar incident occurred. But Marven couldn't remember who did it.
After all, several planes that are relatively close to Fernan can open a temporary passage through the guò artifact.
The Evil Spirit Plane, the Abyssal Plane, the Hellish Plane...... It's all possible.
Putting aside the conspiracy behind this matter, Marven is now facing a dilemma.
Without Catimue, he won't be able to realize his plans.
It was tricky for him.
However, at this moment, a group of people suddenly cheered: "The holy woman is back." ”
"She went to investigate the killing of Bailu, and now that she is back, there must be a result."
Marven looked back and saw a woman in white, slowly walking back from the desert.
The first time he saw her, a different feeling welled up in his heart.
This feeling is very similar to when I saw Daniela.
