At night, a bonfire dances in the middle of the town, which has been hidden by yellow sand in the sea of sand.

The flickering flames are like a flat boat in the sea, which may be overturned and swallowed by the waves at any time.

Lucius sat alone in front of the campfire, his expression a little solemn.

He succeeded in reopening the path to Distri's return, but when he returned, all his companions were gone, along with his steam car and his mechanical corps, all disappeared without a trace, as if the world had evaporated.

Lecius immediately tried, using his mechanical source core, to try to call the mechanical warriors.

Tried to contact Belletti, or Oguferdine and Mogupatin, but got no response.

To his surprise, not even the mechanical bugs appeared, a result that made Lucius a little worried.

Originally, Lucius thought that he already had a certain understanding of the entire sand sea, but at this moment, he suddenly found that he did not understand at all, and he did not fully understand the dangers in the sand sea, and it could even be said that he knew nothing.

Looking at the flames dancing in front of him, Lucius couldn't help but say to himself, "What happened, why didn't there leave even a trace?"

This is where Lucius is most confused, if the convoy leaves early, then he should leave some marks for his own guidance.

If the convoy is looted by someone else, then there should be clues and traces left.

To Lucius's surprise, however, there were no clues left in the town.

Everyone in the entire convoy is like evaporating from the world, and they can't find even a trace of a star.

Lecius had a vague sense that something was wrong, and that something more terrible was coming.

In his mind, he suddenly remembered the King of Hearts, and suddenly thought of a possibility. Will the King of Hearts take the opportunity to flee after opening up the path to Distry's return? Return to the Sand Sea, control the power of the empire under the Sand Sea, and plunder everyone in the convoy?

While Lucius was thinking, suddenly there was a slight sound of footsteps in the sand.

An obscene figure, cautiously approaching the campfire, looked unusually cautious, and seemed to have a deep fear of Lucius.

Lucius didn't look back, as if he saw the little guy behind him approaching, and suddenly said, "Have you found your whereabouts?"

The little thing stopped suddenly. Under the light of the beating bonfire, you can see that it is a very short monster wrapped in black mist.

Under Lucius's inquiry, the little monster did not hesitate, and quickly responded: "Find, find some clues, the demon lord asked me to tell you that it may be the guy who was locked in the abyss by him escaped and acted, so you must be careful." ”

Lucius sighed, "Hmm. Unexpectedly, it was really that guy. ”

After a pause, he asked the little monster behind him, "Do you know the whereabouts of that guy?"

The little monster hesitated. Only then did he speak again: "The demon lord said that that person is going to the depths of the sand sea to revive his empire. Ready, ready to use those of your companions as a sacrifice for his revival of the Empire. ”

The little monster's voice just fell. Lucius suddenly released a majestic momentum.

Frightened, the little monster screamed, and quickly retreated, for fear that he would be angered by Lucius.

Lucius stood up, stared at the bonfire, his expression suddenly became hideous, and he roared, "Very good, I want to see the strength of that King of Hearts." ”

The little monster stood there trembling, not daring to step forward to disturb Lucius.

However, after a moment of silence, the little monster couldn't help but speak: "Great, my lord, the demon lord asked me to remind you, you must be careful, once the empire is restored, you are not that person's opponent, so you must defeat him before his sacrifice begins." ”

Lucius ignored the little monster's reminder, but turned his head to look at the little guy and said, "Did you bring something?"

The little monster was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said in a panic: "My lord, you want too many things, so they haven't been shipped yet, please give us another day, and we promise to deliver them all." ”

Lucius didn't embarrass the little monster, but nodded and said, "Okay, then wait one more day." ”

With that, Lucius ignored the little monster and sat down by the campfire again.

After a long silence, Lucius suddenly spoke, "Why don't you leave?"

The little monster suddenly became agitated, and understood that Lucius knew that he existed, so he quickly clapped his hands.

Then another group of monsters appeared, carrying some food to the campfire in front of Lucius.

The little monster flattered and said, "These are from the Duke of Leinster, who asked us to send them, and he said that you should eat something to keep your strength up." ”

Lucius looked at the food, then turned to look at the little monster, as if he didn't mean to do anything.

The little monster understood Lucius's concern, and quickly explained: "Your Excellency, please rest assured, these foods are all normal foods, and they are definitely not the things of our demon race, and they are not contaminated with a little demonic energy. ”

After listening to the little monster's explanation, Lucius grabbed the food and pulled out a dagger from the gauntlet at will.

Then he cut the pieces of meat, set up a grill on the bonfire, then spread the meat on the grill one by one, and took out some condiments from the metal box around his waist, and began to roast the meat in front of the campfire, ignoring the monsters around him.

There was no word all night, and at dawn, Lucius turned over and sat up, and saw the little monster trembling and guarding his side.

Waving his hand and saying to the little monster, "Okay, don't follow me during the day, go back and prepare things for me, and I'll come back in the evening to get them, remember, don't be less." ”

As if he had been pardoned, the little monster hurriedly bowed down and saluted Lucius: "Your Excellency, please rest assured, we will definitely do what you ask." ”

Watching the little monsters leave, Lucius also stood up and turned his head to look at the sea of sand outside the town.

His eyes revealed a strong killing intent, and he was really angry at this moment.

Instead of stopping in the town, Lucius walked out of the town and searched around the town.

He wasn't looking for traces of the convoy, because he knew very well that since the King of Hearts had made a move, he would definitely not leave any traces to follow.

Lucius was looking for the Sand Beast, as he was reassembling a steam car, and the parts had already been processed by Distry.

The rest is needed, the energy to drive the steam car, without the right energy drive, even if the steam car is assembled, there is no way to drive in the sea of sand, and the crystal nuclei of those sand beasts are obviously the best energy source, so Lucius wants to hunt the sand beasts.
