Chapter 9 Leaving the Desert
The almost endless sea of yellow sand in front of me seemed to have finally reached the other side. Looking at the black dots on the edge of the horizon, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After that, no sand thieves came to attack them. In fact, the sand thieves were not fools. They connected the two notorious big bosses to die, which naturally means that there was a very troublesome caravan passing by during this period. You two warned us at the cost of your life, so brothers must not ignore them - although for sand thieves, this metaphor is really ridiculous. .In fact, Yi Ming even wondered if Kuffith had known this would be the case. After all, their mercenary group ran away in the desert. If you didn't even think of such a thing, it would be a little wrong. And he quickly reflected on it. Although the identity of the warrior provided strong cover for their actions, the failure to clean up the spoils did not seem to be in line with the situation in this world. But even so, Yi Ming felt a little nauseous when he thought of searching for things on the dead.
Mayalie agreed with this. She never even got close to the cloth bag containing a dead head. Yiming also felt unrespectful to this, so the two discussed it in the end and hung it next to the driving seat of the carriage despite Lawrence's opposition.
(Mr. Merchant, it is a good thing to have a companion.)
Although Mayalie did not deliberately mock him, Lawrence was still amused and crying. This man and woman really made him feel strange. He didn't blink when he killed someone, so why did he just push and stop him at the head. But the two obviously avoided answering this question, and it didn't seem like they were afraid that the resentful souls of the person they killed would take revenge. However, Lawrence didn't ask much about it. Anyway, it wasn't his business.
"Meyalie, it's about to leave the desert."
Yi Ming sat in the back seat of the carriage, with a somewhat solemn expression. Mei Yali blinked her pupils of different colors, and was also a little uneasy.
(…………What should we do next?)
Although they have been in this world for many days, the desert itself is a closed world after all, and Yi Ming and the others are just in contact and talking with other mercenaries. However, after leaving the desert, the two will truly integrate into this world. This is a real test for both of them. Before, their lives in such a world were all running and stopping and hiding. Now, when they think about returning to such a life, they can't help but feel a little nervous. After all, no one knows what kind of problems and impact their abilities will bring to the two in this world.
"Don't worry."
Yi Ming shrugged his shoulders and lay down backwards.
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally sink when it reaches the bridge. And you also see that the group of mercenaries did not react much when they saw our rune swords. Even they traveled around the world, they had this expression. I think in this world, as long as we are careful, there should be no problem."
(………It seems that this is the only way, Yi Ming, what are you going to do next?)
“It’s what ‘we’ are going to do.”
Yi Ming's tone remained unchanged, but he slightly corrected Meyari's words.
"You used to be like this, always giving everything to yourself. Although everyone is relieved to you, it is not a bad thing to rely on others occasionally. Do you think I will leave you and just pat my butt to enjoy it yourself? So what about you? Do you still hide in the mouse hole as before? Don't joke, have you forgotten what we have said before?" Yi Ming stretched out a fist and placed it in front of Mealie, looking at her with a confident smile.
(…………atroublesharedisatroublehalved.)
Mayalie also clenched her right hand into a fist and gently touched Yi Ming.
(The difficulties are shared by two people, which will be reduced by half.)
"Actually, it is just my selfishness to abandon these boring reasons. When I think of a woman as beautiful as you, if I lay in the arms of a man other than me, I would draw my sword and chop it over."
Yi Ming was half joking and half serious, while Mei Yali just sighed, glared at Yi Ming helplessly, and said nothing again.
Indeed, every sentence Yi Ming said is true. If he is the only one, he will not worry about not being able to find a way to live in this world. After all, one of Yi Ming's abilities can even help him to reach the avenue. But Mei Yali is not good. No matter what she wants to do, she has to use "ideological communication". In this way, sooner or later, people who communicate with her will feel fear and fear. If not, she can only pretend that she can't speak, but that is a very painful thing. It would be fine if Mei Yali really can't speak, but she clearly has the ability to communicate with others, but still cannot communicate, then what is the difference between being able to speak but not allowing her to open her mouth?
The carriage bumped, and Yi Ming looked up and saw that everyone had left the desert. So he sat up and stared at the grass and trees around him with curiosity and vigilance.
After leaving the desert, although the surrounding area was still deserted, at least you could see the shrubs growing between the cracks in the ground and some dry plants that could not be named. And after nearly half a day of bumpyness, before the sun set, everyone finally came to the town on the edge of the desert. Although the town was small, it was not desolate at all. Yiming and Meiali looked at the crowd wrapped in headscarves around and various animals that had never been seen before, and felt a little uneasy.
“This is an outpost.”
Lawrence breathed a long sigh and then introduced to the two.
"Whether you have just left the desert or are about to enter the desert, this is the only supply area on the edge of the desert. So there are many more people here than ordinary towns, and there are all kinds of people here. It's better to be careful and not cause trouble." He lowered his voice. "Especially for people like you two, be careful. Although I know you are very powerful, there is never a shortage of people who are not afraid of death. Speaking of which... people who are afraid of death will not want to enter this ghost desert."
Yiming nodded cautiously, while Luo Luns breathed a sigh of relief and parked the carriage in the open space next to the town. He parked with the carriages of the Brumma Chamber of Commerce intentionally or unintentionally. Mealley and Yiming looked at each other and didn't say much. At this moment, Kufes had already called everyone to start packing her luggage, and then she turned and walked to the two of them.
"Next, we'll be separated."
She still had that generous smile, and at the same time put her right hand on her hip and gently tapped the hilt of the sword.
"Although I think you may already know what I want to ask... but I still have to ask, are you willing to join our mercenary group? We need powerful warriors like you. If we can join us, we will be treated well?"
"I'm sorry, I think our decision will disappoint you."
Yi Ming showed a slightly sorry smile.
"To be honest, we are tired of adventures in the wild mountains and forests, and we just want to find a stable life."
"If you want to find a stable life, you won't run into a ghost place like the Fieldley Desert. Or are you planning to live in seclusion?"
Kuffith's mouth raised, smiling.
"That was just an accident."
Yi Ming did not explain or lie. In fact, it was an accident that they would appear there, and it was force majeure.
"………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
(………Yiming?)
"What's up?"
Yi Ming spoke and said in an almost inaudible voice, but this was not a problem anyway.
(Are you worried about my body? That kind of thing is……)
“It’s very necessary.”
Yiming next blocked Meyali's speech.
"I think you can see it too."
He stared at Kuffith in front of him and continued to whisper.
"Mercenaries are a very dangerous job, and I promise they don't have the concept of commuting hours. It's so uncertain for you who have time limits. And I'm tired of the life of chasing or being surrounded by people. Don't you think we should live a more stable life? At least I don't want to live a life full of dangers all day long."
(……………………Me too.)
Mayalie gently turned the small umbrella in her hand to cover her slightly red cheeks.
Under the leadership of Kuffith, the two of them came to the town council hall. In addition to the serious appearance on the storefront, the interior was completely dirty and messy. In the huge space, both the tables, chairs, benches and the decorations on the walls looked gray. Mayale slid gently on the table, immediately bringing a lot of dust. This made her frown slightly, and then took out a handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose.
Also as a woman, Kuffith was obviously used to this ghost place. She walked to the counter casually, then slapped the table with a "bang", and someone immediately ran over and whispered to ask what service she needed.
"These two soldiers killed the important criminals you are trying to get rid of."
Kuffith pointed to Mealli and Yiming beside him, and then threw the cloth bag full of sand. The other party carefully opened the cloth bag, and his face turned pale in an instant, but he still took out the wanted orders of two sand thieves and compared them with the appearance of the heads on it. Due to the dry weather of the desert and the burial of sand, the head looked a little thin after dehydration, but it could still be seen. The poor guy looked at the wanted order for a long time before carefully holding the cloth bag and walked to the room inside. After a while, he walked out. But unlike before, the man in front of him looked embarrassed and empty. He came to the three of them in great difficulty, and hesitated for a while before whispering.
"It has been verified, but very... very... sorry, we cannot give you a bounty..."
