Above the vast yellow sand, a tired caravan slowly moved forward in the hot desert.
The two leaders in front were walking side by side on camels.
Jonah Thorin looked at Onik scrutiny and frowned.
"Really almost? You said the same thing a week ago..."
Onik brushed the gravel off his face, took out the magic map and glanced at it, confirming.
"If it hadn't been for that terrifying dust storm five days ago, we would have been there long ago..."
With a worried look on his face.
"I hope Dusk City can survive this sandstorm."
Hearing this, Jonah was a little anxious.
"The sandstorm was so violent, which weak territory could withstand it??"
Said and growled angrily.
"It's all to blame for that **** lord!! If he hadn't tricked my daughter, how could Andelle be in danger!"
"Seeing that **** lord today, I will definitely let him know what pain is!"
Thinking of the grievances I have received on the road this month.
Jonah Thorin was furious.
If it wasn't for the little lord, why would he have to make this trip?
Moreover, a territory with only a few dozen people in the army is too weak and worthy to let his daughter take refuge? !
It's like hitting him in the face!
With anger, he slapped the Bactrian camel on the back, making it speed up.
Onik felt helpless to see this scene.
It's so exhausting to deal with this brainless guy.
Looking at the shadowy territory at the end of the line of sight, I can only pray that Dusk City was not damaged much by the storm a few days ago.
He waved his hand and asked everyone to speed up.
——
"Master, we detected a caravan approaching Dusk City."
"The flag has the emblem of the luan-tailed flower."
In the lord's mansion, Li Cha looked at the dark gargoyle reporting the information in front of him and was quite surprised.
After waiting for so long, the Luanwei Flower Chamber of Commerce finally came.
In an instant, he saw the scene of billowing wealth being recorded.
But after returning to God, he was still vigilant.
"How strong is that caravan?"
"It's not strong, it can't pose a threat to us..."
"You don't need to intercept, it's getting dark, and the army that went out to hunt will return soon.
Let them enter the territory, and then notify Karoo, and ask him to bring those merchants to see me when he is done. "
"As you wish."
——
The blurred buildings in the distance gradually became clear.
The tired caravan immediately became excited.
Everyone subconsciously accelerated the speed.
Onik saw that there were still figures walking outside the city of dusk, and his mood suddenly became high.
"Praise the gods, Your Excellency Richard's territory is still there!"
Although I don't know how much damage the sandstorm caused to that small territory, at least it hasn't completely destroyed this territory.
He spoke firmly.
"Whatever you say this time, let Your Excellency Richard leave this terrifying desert and go back to Solan City with me."
"This kind of place is not suitable for living."
"I don't want a treasure like desert crown honey to be buried in yellow sand."
He only had this plan before, but the sandstorm he encountered a few days ago completely moved his heart.
This is the second sandstorm he has encountered in the past few months.
On that occasion more than two months ago, the caravan returning from the other end of the Desert of Death suffered heavy losses.
This time a few days ago, if it wasn't for the special strategic treasure bestowed by the guildmaster when he came, I'm afraid that it will be bad again.
This desert is too dangerous.
Jonah Thorin's anger grew when he saw Twilight.
"Humph! This kind of territory that doesn't even have a city wall, let alone a sandstorm, even a few beasts' attacks can knock it down to the ground!"
"I really don't know that lord, where did he have the confidence to let Andel take refuge?"
Speaking of sneer again and again.
"Furthermore, even if Ander joins him, can he give her what she needs to forge it?"
"This kind of territory, can you train a super blacksmith?!"
Which super blacksmith was not fed with a lot of materials, this area is not as large as the residence of the employees of the Luanwei Flower Chamber of Commerce.
It seemed like a joke to him.
Onik had a headache when he heard this.
But after all, I wanted to save some face, and I didn't want this guy to let Richard down from the stage.
Although he didn't want to reason with this brawny man with muscles, he still politely dissuaded him.
"Your Excellency Jonah, no matter what you say, this is Miss Andelle's own choice."
"If there's nothing wrong with Miss Andelle, I hope you don't embarrass Your Excellency Richard."
"The other party saved my life after all. At the same time, I will invite him to Solan City. You may meet often in the future."
Jonah looked at Onik's pleading gaze, unmoved.
snorted coldly.
"Then it depends on the specific situation of that little lord!"
"If Andelle is wronged here, I said, I will personally smash everyone in this territory with a hammer, smashing their heads one by one!"
"That lord, no exception!"
This damned barbarian is even more unreasonable than a dwarf.
Onik was swallowed hard, and suddenly lost interest in talking.
Turning his head and telling the guards beside him, if Jonah goes crazy, he must stop him.
A caravan of hundreds of people came to the territory when the sun sank into the yellow sand.
Onik did not bring people in directly, but got off the camel outside the territory, and asked the guard to tie the camel and wait for his order.
This is basic etiquette. What is it like to ride a camel and roam in other people's territory without permission?
But Jonah Thorin scoffed at this, this kind of territory deserves his respect?
Riding a camel, he took the lead and entered the territory directly.
Onik's head suddenly became big. In order to prevent accidents, he immediately asked two guards to chase the barbarian into the territory with him.
After Jonah Thorin entered the street, he saw buildings piled up everywhere, and many people were carrying wood or stones in dismay.
It seems that it is no different from slavery residents in other territories as coolies.
After a few glances, I saw a few familiar faces.
This made him instantly angry.
It must be the lord who enslaved these residents and forced them to work!
He has seen too many scenes like this!
When he was about to get angry, a resident who was carrying stones saw Jonah Thorin riding a camel and shouted excitedly.
"Lord Jonah!!"
This startled breath attracted the attention of many people.
Soon, a large number of residents gathered around.
These were all companions who followed Jonah Thorin across the desert in order to escape the war.
At this time, seeing that Jonah, who had been missing for more than two months, was fine, he was very excited.
Two months ago, this was the leader they relied on.
If it wasn't for that nasty sandstorm, maybe they'd still be following each other now.
"Lord Jonah, thank the gods, you are still alive!"
"Miss Andelle is in the territory, I'll call her for you!"
"Praise the gods, I didn't expect to see you again..."
"..."
Jonah was also excited when he saw these familiar figures.
A roll over and get off the camel's back.
Hug those around you warmly.
After being excited for a while, he regained his senses.
Looking at the surrounding residents who were stained with a lot of dust because of their work, they suddenly shouted in anger.
"I have settled down in Solan City!"
"Everyone immediately packed up and left with me. I'll take you to the Luanwei Flower Chamber of Commerce. The Luanwei Flower Chamber of Commerce has promised me to help you arrange work."
"This kind of territory is not worthy of letting the people of my Iron Stone Town stay!"
Talk louder and louder.
"Even if you signed a contract with that evil lord, all of them are invalid. My companions must not be oppressed, and everyone is free!"
Jonah originally thought that he appeared as a savior, and everyone would respond with a bang.
But unexpected.
After his words were spoken, the scene that was extremely lively just now seemed to have pressed the pause button.
Silent.
Everyone stared blankly at Jonah, with a strange look in their eyes?
That look was like... a fool.
The surrounding residents were stunned.
They... heard that right?
let them go?
After so much suffering, now life is finally getting better, let them go?
It's harder than killing them.
And what oppresses their lords, is there a better territory in this world than Dusk City?
Is there a better lord than Lord Richard?
Did Lord Jonah get sand in his head because of the sandstorm?
Jonah thought that the residents were afraid of the lord, and roared.
"You don't have to be afraid!! That **** lord will never stop you from leaving!"
"Bullying the residents of my iron town, I will smash his head with a hammer!"
"Who dares to block my people from Iron Stone Town in such a weak territory!"
Just finished speaking.
Suddenly the sky darkened.
Huhu~
A dragon with no flesh and blood, whose bones were as clear as red crystal, swept across the sky.
The huge size gives people a very strong visual impact, and the terrifying dragon might exudes, which makes people tremble even more.
Jonah raised his head and was shocked when he saw this scene, undead dragon? ?
How can there be such a high-level undead here?
Are you here to attack this territory? ?
Just wanted to react.
Suddenly I saw the sky black and pressed a piece of gargoyle flying.
There is also a large army of mummies riding on it.
This made him freeze.
With so many troops, let alone him, the entire caravan came for nothing.
He lowered his body subconsciously and looked nervously at the army in the sky.
After waiting for a while, he found that the troops ignored him and fell directly into the territory.
He was stunned, what's the situation?
Turning his head to look at the surrounding residents whose faces did not change much, he suddenly felt extremely twisted.
"Those troops are from this territory?"
The first middle-aged man to stop Jonah nodded as a matter of course.
It didn't feel strange at all.
"These are the troops that go out to hunt and return to the territory at dusk."
A large number of mummy troops poured into the territory from the rear.
There are mummies wrapped in bandages, monsters with poisonous scorpion bodies and two iron pincers, warriors with battle axes and chains tied to their hands, and even he saw a mechanical puppet as high as 5 meters.. ....
Hundreds of troops entered the territory.
He hasn't recovered yet.
Suddenly the earth shook.
bang~
bang~
It seemed that someone was bombarding the ground with a battering ram. Feeling that the eyes of the surrounding people were moving, Jonah subconsciously turned his head to look outside the territory.
I saw a terrifying giant tree with a height of dozens of meters, no leaves and only trunks approaching the territory step by step.
The breath it exudes makes people feel chills, like an evil existence planted at the bottom of the bottomless abyss.
An indescribable fear came over him.
Even his breathing subconsciously slowed down.
Fortunately, the evil giant tree stopped outside the territory, and then slowly took root in the earth.
Seems to be the most loyal guards guarding the territory.
He looked at it intently, and found that there were hundreds of wasps buzzing at the top of the tree, and the sound they emitted came from a very close distance.
Jonah was dazed and looked at the resident dryly.
"This, this is also the army of this territory?"
The tone was slightly trembling.
The other side nodded.
With a bit of adoration.
"This is the ancient tree of gods and sins conquered by the lord himself."
"Have you seen the venomous wasp on that big tree? It's a rare species, it is said that it can multiply up to several hundred thousand..."
"Master Karoo said that the ancient tree of the gods goes fishing several kilometers away every day, and it's quite early to come back today."
Jonah is in a mess.
Can this monster be conquered too? ?
And what the **** is fishing?
Are there any fish you can catch in the desert? ?
And this kind of terrifying atmosphere, why does it feel like giving him a large army of troops to rush up is all for nothing?
Thinking of the words that he wanted to step on this territory just now, his face suddenly became ashamed.
Damn, this giant tree alone can kill him ten, step on it, step on a hammer.
Onik came to his side at the moment, and when he heard the conversation between the two, he opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't say anything.
The resident looked at the silent Jonah, seemed to have thought of something, and gave a serious warning.
"Lord Jonah, although I understand your desire to help us, this is the City of Twilight, and you are absolutely not allowed to slander Lord Lord!"
"As for what you said to go with you, I don't need to mention it again."
"The City of Dusk is the best city I have ever seen in all the territories!"
"This is our home!"
"No oppression, no bullying, no enslavement by nobles, I don't even dare to think that I can become a member of Dusk City in my life."
As he spoke, his eyes became more solemn.
"Lord Jonah, you used to be our leader, leading us forward."
"But now, we are a member of the City of Twilight, and the lord is our master. I don't allow anyone to say anything about the City of Twilight in this territory."
"Please respect yourself."
Jonah suddenly felt as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer 10,000 times.
He stared dumbfounded at this old friend who had known him for more than ten years.
What is this territory for?
How long has it been, and why has the other party changed so much?
He wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything.
The other party said it so seriously, what else could he say?
Seeing this, the resident sighed in his heart, gave Jonah a slight salute, and then went to work with high spirits carrying the building materials on the ground.
Everyone else did the same. After saluting, they continued to do their own thing.
He was still surrounded just now, and in the blink of an eye, everyone disappeared.
Jonah was still at a loss.
Onik didn't know what to say when he saw this scene, he could only pat him on the shoulder as a sign of comfort.
After Jonah regained his senses, he immediately went to the blacksmith shop not far away under the guidance of a resident nervously.
It doesn't matter if other people don't want to go with him, it's enough that Andelle is there.
When she came to the blacksmith shop, Andelle, who got the news of her father's arrival, dashed downstairs.
Seeing the familiar figure, his eyes suddenly turned red.
Crystal tears pulled out long tear streaks.
He stepped forward and shouted with excitement and grievance.
"Father......"
Jonah's heart melted when he saw his daughter's aggrieved appearance.
"Andelle, don't cry, don't cry! I'm here to pick you up."
"Are you okay this time? Are you injured?"
Andelle cried and laughed, "I'm fine, it's fine here, I'm just so happy to see you..."
Jonah didn't believe it, looking at his daughter's appearance, his anger rose again and again.
"Did that **** lord trick you into staying?"
"I don't know what ecstasy the lord gave others. I asked them to go back to Solan City with me, but they still don't want to!"
"Hmph, although this kind of territory is fine now, as long as it encounters a sandstorm, it will be submerged in an instant."
Hearing this, Andel stopped crying and shook her head again and again.
"Father, Mr. Richard treated me very well and didn't coax me, and I stayed voluntarily."
Jonah snorted angrily.
"It's not important anymore, just pack up and leave with me. I've helped you find a suitable job at the Luanwei Flower Merchant Association."
"They are willing to treat you as a super blacksmith."
Excited again.
"With the abundant supplies of the Luanweihua Chamber of Commerce, you can upgrade to a super blacksmith in a year at most..."
Andel was stunned for a while, then she showed a bright smile.
"Father, I may have made the same choice as everyone else."
Jonah groaned inwardly, with a bad premonition.
Sure enough, what the other party said next made him feel like he had suffered 10,000 real injuries.
"I am now a part of Dusk City and will not leave."
Jonah's face suddenly stiffened.
No, won't leave? !
Ten thousand question marks popped up in my mind.
Why, why is everyone like this!
That's all for the rest... Why does Andelle stay here?
"Andelle, do you know what you're talking about?"
"You are one step away from being promoted to senior blacksmith, staying here will only delay you!"
"The bloodline of our Thorin family can only be activated by becoming a super blacksmith."
"Once the bloodline is activated, we can not only have more powerful strength, but also have a lifespan several times that of a human..."
Andelle laughed.
"But father, I'm already a super blacksmith."
"I don't care what your reasons are, you... eh? You, what did you say??"
Jonah suddenly got stuck and stared at each other with wide eyes.
Andelle's smile grew brighter.
"Father, I'm already a super blacksmith."
As he spoke, a special power appeared on his body.
At this moment, the blood in his body showed breath at the same time.
He was stunned.
"The blood aura of the Sorin family...really fully activated!!"
Looking at that smiling voice, I immediately went crazy.
"But, but how did you become a super blacksmith??"
"It's only been two months!! How can this tattered territory meet the resources you need to advance to a super blacksmith?"
Which super blacksmith can only be promoted after forging a lot of high-level equipment.
Does this territory without city walls have such resources?
Isn't this a joke?
But Andelle's breath couldn't be faked.
He suddenly got into a tangle, and then seemed to think of something, and said excitedly.
"This must be your extraordinary talent! I knew that my daughter is not comparable to ordinary people!"
Andelle shook her head to interrupt his fantasies.
"Lord Richard provided a lot of resources for me to use, and this is how I became a super blacksmith."
He was a little excited when he said that.
"Lord Li Cha also gave me a 4-star equipment blueprint. Unfortunately, it is too difficult. It will take some time to forge..."
As he said that, he took out the blueprint from his arms and gestured, and then he seemed to think of something and hurriedly put it away.
"I almost forgot, father, are you from Dusk City? I can't show you."
Four-star equipment? ?
Jonah was a little confused.
The blueprint of such a top treasure is a rare treasure even in the Luanwei Flower Chamber of Commerce.
Even him, he can't get in touch without joining a certain number of years, and now the other party just gives the blueprint to the newly promoted blacksmith?
What kind of treatment is this?
"Your Excellency Onik..."
Andel touched her tears, and then remembered that there were other people, and suddenly invited a little embarrassed.
"You must have told my father about my news, right? You have worked hard for you. Come in and sit and have a cup of tea."
Onik shook his head.
"When your father and daughter are reunited, I will not participate in the reunion. I will also go and ask to see His Excellency Richard."
Hearing this, Andelle did not force herself, and after a few polite words, happily led Jonah into the blacksmith shop.
Jonah also suppressed his inner anger, ready to go upstairs and have a good chat about what was going on.
But when he was just about to step up the stairs, he suddenly saw the extraordinary hunter 15 meters high in the backyard through the half-open back door.
As a top blacksmith who is one step closer to breaking through to a master blacksmith.
How good is his eyesight.
Instantly stopped.
The tone pointed to the mechanical puppet in the backyard with shock.
trembling.
"Then, what is that??"
Andelle was startled and quickly closed the door.
"Lord Richard did not agree to let outsiders study."
Say sorry.
"That's the mechanical puppet that Mr. Richard left for me to study."
Specifically for your research? ?
Jonah felt that he had received a huge shock~www.novel35.com~ Although it was only a shock, he was extremely sure that it was a mechanical puppet made by a master countless times stronger than him.
Although the blacksmith and the mechanical puppet are separated by a lot of distance, the essence is to process the material, so that the material can exert its maximum performance.
He knew the value of this mechanical puppet better than Andel.
If this is placed in the Luanwei Flower Chamber of Commerce, I am afraid that it will be locked in the most closely guarded treasure house.
Not to mention putting it in the backyard for research, just take a look at it and apply for it.
But it is such a precious treasure, that the lord just left it to Andel in the backyard to study at will? ?
What the **** is this treated like?
Is this still an inconspicuous territory built in the desert?
