Chapter 1 A New Beginning

Lawrence waved his long whip boredly, whipping the camel beast in front of him, prompting it to continue to walk forward with the four thick and short legs. Looking up at the sky, the weather looked good, so there should be no sandstorms. Thinking of this, Lawrence loosened the robe wrapped around him, and at the same time couldn't help but look at the two sitting behind the car. To be honest, walking in the Fieldley Desert itself is already a very dangerous thing. For a traveler, he might not be enough to be careful even if he has more lives. And he actually met two lost little ghosts in such a place where humans could not survive. This is simply a strange thing.

Thinking of this, Lawrence quietly turned his head and secretly looked at the two little ghosts he met when he was fetching water from the oasis. They looked very young, but they were quite strange. The moment they met Lawrence, the surprise and doubt in their eyes were definitely not pretended. They were originally suspected of being a child robbed by a bandit in the desert, but... the language was completely unfamiliar. The black-haired boy said, Lawrence couldn't understand half of the sentence, and the boy seemed to be unable to understand what Lawrence said. This is really a rare situation. You know, as a traveler, Lawrence has worked hard to learn many languages. Whether it is the common language of the mainland, the elves, the elements.

The language, even the dragon language, can only say a few words. Who knows when will a one-stop business be met? But the language spoken by the boy is a completely incomprehensible type. Even with the knowledge of Lawrence, it is difficult to distinguish. Moreover, looking at the clothes of the two people, it is not like slaves who escaped from where they are. Although the two little ghosts are covered in dust in the desert environment, the exquisitely made clothes will definitely not be something that a slave can afford. And the dress worn by the girl is a style that Lawrence has never seen before, if any maid or slave can wear such luxurious clothes, it would be so enviable.

(Yiming, what should we do next?)

The black-haired boy called Yi Ming raised his head, and his expression was still so indifferent. It seemed that the girl had not spoken just now, and she was still looking at the back of the traveler in front of her, as if she didn't care about anything. But her clear voice as if she was a mountain spring, it did appear in Yi Ming's mind.

"Anyway... let's keep this way first. Be careful not to let people discover your ability. This place looks like..." When I said this, Yi Ming paused and looked cautiously at the giant in charge of the coolie in front of the car. It was a creature they had never seen before. Even if the government's genetically modified engineering has really made any progress, it would definitely not be popularized now. "It's strange, I even suspect that we are still on Earth, but fortunately, we are not meeting Martians."

Yi Ming tried to ease the heavy atmosphere in a slightly teasing tone. He was not afraid of being heard by Lawrence, anyway, he couldn't understand what he was talking about. But the only thing that was troublesome was that he seemed to be talking to himself.

(Is there a mistake in using the ability?)

The girl turned her head and looked at Yi Ming calmly and gently with her eyes of different colors. The girl was not panicked by this sudden change. In fact, they were originally ready to accept their fate of death. It is already thankful that they can still stand here alive. But even so, the girl's lips still did not move a little, while Yi Ming closed her eyes, thought quietly for a moment, and then slowly answered.

"From the situation at that time, there should be no problem with my ability, and you have your support. What's more, the situation does control the energy of the explosion as we thought, but after that... According to calculations, we should have only one in 50 million chance of escaping alive."

(One in 50 million is much better than zero.)

The girl's voice in her mind was extremely calm, but she had some undetectable joy. She stretched out her left hand wearing silk gloves and gently stroked Yi Ming's face.

(We are all lucky, aren't we?)

“It is indeed………”

Before Yi Ming could answer her words, the car suddenly stopped. Yi Ming frowned slightly and immediately turned around. The businessman turned around and shouted at them, still gestured.

"What is he talking about?"

Yi Ming naturally couldn't understand the other party's words, so he asked the girl, although the girl also didn't understand this language, it did not mean that she didn't understand what the other party wanted to express.

(He said there was a sand thief in ambush in front of him... it should be a robber.)

While hearing this, Yi Ming jumped out of the carriage quickly, and the girl followed closely behind. The two quickly came to Luo Luns' side. Then Yi Ming paused for a moment, and his brain quickly recalled and thought about the language and meaning of the man who used them in the past few days, and then asked in a rather difficult tone: "What happened...has happened?"

"Sand thieves! Bandits! Those guys who should curse! The beasts that survive by devouring other people's flesh and blood! Damn it, it's so unlucky!! Now that we're done, we can't escape!"

At this moment, Lawrence no longer cared whether they could understand his words or not, and shouted in a panic. He just found a blurry shadow there, and then the damn camel beast stopped. No matter what he scolded, he didn't move forward. This was the usual trick of the sand thief. They released a smell of extremely fear for the camel beast in the wind and forced them to stop. Then they went back to summon the brigade to rob, these cursed guys! How could he be so unlucky? Lawrence also encountered a sand thief when he was young, and that experience made him

He had a deep memory and even became the protagonist of the nightmare for the next few years. Since then, Lawrence has been extremely alert to the desert trade route, which was originally the biggest and last business he had done. For this long trip, he had made complete preparations and even hired a team of pretty good mercenaries. But he didn't expect those guys to turn against the road. If Lawrence hadn't accidentally heard the group of mercenaries preparing to kill and rob goods and ran away in time before the sandstorm came, he would have become an unknown mummy in the desert.

It's so unlucky!

Although Lawrence had long guessed that a fat sheep who was single like himself would be attracted by the attention of the sand thieves, it would be impossible for him to accept it calmly if he had a premonition in front of him. What's more, he was carrying two little devils, even if he wanted to run away... What's the joke, even if Lawrence died under the swords of the vicious bandits, he would definitely not want to die of thirst in this terrible desert. At least he could give him some pleasure.

And just then, the boy pulled LaRorence's sleeve and brought the travel merchant who had fallen into a semi-panic back to his senses. He looked at the boy in surprise, and saw him pointing to the girl beside him, pointing to himself, and then speaking in the awkward imperial commons.

"We, help."

Help? What can these two children help themselves?

Lawrence's mind was in chaos, but when he looked at the boy again, he couldn't help but be stunned.

An extremely calm expression was revealed on the boy's face. It was not ignorant peace and stability. On the contrary, it seemed as if he was always ready to wait for something to come. Lawrence had been traveling around the country for more than 30 years, and his rich experience was enough to make him understand. The boy in front of him was not joking. He knew exactly what he meant and was ready to help him.

"All right!"

Lawrence took a deep breath of dry air and tried to calm himself down. He hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, then kicked the cover behind the wooden seat of the carriage, and immediately several long swords slid out from it. As a travel merchant, he often had to protect his safety, so even Lawrence had some hidden tricks. He picked up a sword casually and threw it to the boy. The boy looked after it took the sword, shook his head, and then he returned the sword.

What does this mean?

Just when Rorens was puzzled, the boy looked at the girl with the color pupils beside him, and then the girl walked to Rorens' side.

(Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Merchant, but we don't need weapons.)

"Why?"

The sudden sound made Luo Luns stunned. He raised his head in surprise and looked at the girl in front of him. However, the girl still had that elegant and gentle smile and did not look like she spoke. But Luo Luns did hear a girl's voice from his mind, and it was still continuing.

(Please don't be surprised, you did hear me, but I think these things can be explained later. Yiming and I will protect you, no matter what happens.)

"Yi…Ming?"

Lawrence looked at the boy in surprise. What's the name of this place? It's so weird? Yi Ming, who noticed his eyes, still had a slightly heavy expression. In fact, he did not want the other party to discover the abnormalities of him and others so early. But judging from the appearance of Lawrence, the battle in front of him was indeed very dangerous. And no matter what, the merchant in front of him was also the benefactor to save the two. Otherwise, Yi Ming and the others would not be able to get out of this desert. Therefore, he didn't care about hiding his special abilities anymore. As for the merchant in front of him, he would react after seeing all this... Thinking of this, he stretched out his right hand.

The black lines composed of mysterious runes suddenly appeared from Yi Ming's right arm. They lingered and rotated, gathering in Yi Ming's palm like a poisonous snake with life. Then, the boy turned his right hand down and grabbed it. The black rune line that originally looked quite soft suddenly became long and wide. The wonder in front of him made Luo Luns unable to help but hold his breath and could not even react.

It was a pitch-black, and strangely shaped sword. Any weapon that Lawrence saw was different. The sword was almost the same as the young man's body, and its hilt was not at the bottom, but in the middle. The slender sword edge looked thick and sharp. The young man waved the unusually strange double-edged sword, as if the sword that looked very heavy was completely weightless. Lawrence noticed that there seemed to be some strange words engraved on his sword. It was a font that looked like a square, but Lawrence did not recognize it at all.

The young young man gently stroked the sword body, and in an instant, his face showed unconcealed murderous intent.

"Xuanyuan."

“??”

Luo Luns didn't understand what the pronunciation was. Is it the name of this sword? But he soon came to his senses and shook his head seriously at the young man. After attracting his attention, Luo Luns continued.

"You must be careful. These sand thieves will definitely not be too far away. Don't look at them not appearing now. They are just playing with us. They have dealt with merchants in the desert like this many times. If they scare the camel beast with the blood of wild dragons, we will not be able to stay away from this ghost place at all. But they can hide in the darkness leisurely and start attacking until we relax. You alone cannot stop those guys, and I will fight too."

After saying that, Lawrence stared at the strange boy named Yi Ming. Sure enough, he couldn't understand his words when he looked at his expression. But Yi Ming quickly turned his head to the girl beside him, as if waiting for her explanation. Then after the two of them looked at each other and remained silent for a while, Yi Ming nodded as if he understood, but shook his head again. So the girl turned around, and her voice sounded in Luoren's mind.

(Please rest assured, Mr. Merchant, Yi Ming is not the only one fighting.)

"Can you say...hello!"

The fact is obvious that there are only three people here. The next guess is completely beyond the expectations of Lawrence.

"You want to fight too? How could you, a girl, ever fight those guys?"

(Please don't worry about this, and... it seems they are here.)

“!!”
