A group of us entered the town in a dusty way. Although there are no commercial high-rises here, the streets are quite bustling and lively. It should be the central area of this hundred-mile radius.
Li Shi and I, Karon and Mewati were in a group of four, and Xianmu was in a group of four. There were currently ten people in the team, and they were very eye-catching walking back and forth on the street.
Of course, the purpose of our trip is still to find the nearest airport here and head to Kalimdor. Just when Mewati was about to find someone to inquire, the passers-by around us all looked at us sideways. We thought that the clothes of Karon, Xianmu and others looked a bit hip-hop, but after listening carefully to what they said, we realized that something was wrong. .
"You see, those individuals seem to be the international thieves mentioned on the Internet, who specialize in stealing cultural relics!"
"That's right, your one-eyed woman and the big man next to you must be them."
"There are lots of rewards for providing clues to the police."
"Hey, you want your money rather than your life. If they take revenge, look at how vicious this group of people is. Are you going to take advantage of it?!"
...
Xianmu also noticed the clues, and the people around him consciously stayed three to five meters away from us, whispering to each other. He was about to go up to a passerby to ask, but he didn’t expect that as soon as he took two steps forward, the person in front of him was startled. They had to disperse in a hurry.
"What's going on? Are we looking scary?"
"We seem to be in trouble..." I said to Xianmu with a slight frown.
After saying that, he quickly grabbed everyone, including Mewati, who was still chatting with a roadside stall owner.
"Why is it so urgent? I've already asked clearly. There is an airport fifty kilometers away from here. We can go there."
"Don't you notice something is wrong with the situation around us?"
"There's nothing wrong. The boss just now was very enthusiastic. He just said whatever I asked." Mewati was still sighing at the warm-heartedness of the boss just now and answering all my questions.
"Take a good look at the people around us." Caron had already noticed something was wrong and led everyone around the corner into a long and narrow alley.
Only then did Mewati turn her attention to the passers-by around her. It was obvious that these passers-by who met by chance deliberately avoided him.
When I came to a corner, I told everyone what I had just heard from passers-by. "It seems that the removal of the statue from the museum was discovered before, and now we are being traced everywhere."
"I just said gringos are unreliable, they are all greedy guys!" the young man from the Hopi tribe said bitterly.
"The top priority is to find a way to get to Kalimdor as soon as possible. If you want to take a flight, this route is gone. The other fastest way is," I turned to look at Xianmu, "I'm afraid I have to use the last portal. Already."
"The last time I passed through the portal that was halfway around the world?! This method is much faster than a plane, and some people don't have to vomit all the way." Li Shi looked at Mewati aside with disdain. What she got was a blank look from Mewati.
"When the full moon comes, we can indeed lead to other places in the world through the desert gate, but the place we land may not be Kalimdor." Xianmu took out a simple map from his body, except The countries and regions are also marked with winding lines, and the one closest to Kalimdor is also far away on the map.
"Why is this happening? Didn't we accurately land on the island near them?" Li Shi asked in confusion.
"Although it is called the Gate of the Desert, it actually reaches the place where the water veins of the earth are distributed through the Moon Pond, so we can only teleport to the vicinity of one water vein, and there happened to be a water vein under the Paracel Islands."
"Without further ado, tonight is the fifteenth full moon. Let's teleport here through the desert gate." Charon pointed to a water vein next to Kalimdor.
While we were discussing, the noisy sounds on the street outside gradually became quieter. Through the long and narrow alley, I saw the pedestrians on the street outside were also retreating. I noticed something was wrong and immediately activated my spiritual awareness. changes in the surroundings.
A group of well-organized armed men got out of the car one after another and were outflanking us. It seemed that the official reward was too tempting and our whereabouts had been reported.
"We're surrounded!" I confessed to the group.
"What?!" Li Shi looked outside the alley in a panic, and sure enough, there was no one.
"There is no way out here. Let's choose a place nearby and wait until it gets dark and the moon comes out. The fairy trees can help us escape." Caron looked around and finally chose a yard. He climbed over the wall in one leap and entered from inside. After opening the door, everyone filed in.
After the armed men surrounded us, they found no trace of us. They could only search door to door. When they found us, the huge water barrier propped up by Hariya prevented them from reaching the gate, and the various weapons they carried None of them were able to break through the defense. Until the bright moon came out at night, Xianmu and the other hobbits chanted a spell and called out the passage to the Desert Gate.
Except for Li Shi and I, it was the first time for Caron and others to see this wonderful scene, and they couldn't help but feel a little nervous. After browsing several hillsides, the Moon Park appeared in front of everyone.
In the blink of an eye, we were at a waterway on the other side of the world, with a railroad nearby.
After everything was prepared, we followed a large freight train and started heading towards Kalimdor. The carriages of this train were originally containers. We temporarily modified one and hid inside. It was safe, but the environment was still worse than that of the passenger train. But the people traveling with us obviously didn't care about these details. Everyone sat on the iron plate, surrounded by a wind lantern, waiting for this long journey.
We stayed on the train for three days and three nights. When we got off the train, I saw that Xianmu and his friends' faces were swollen in the sun, especially Caron. Because of the edema, the wrinkles on his face were all visible. It was much less than before, but his eyes disappeared along with the folds, and they were swollen into slits.
There were many more people at the train station than I imagined. I thought that there was civil unrest here and there might be no people outside. But when we actually entered the train platform, we found that people were even climbing on the roof of the passenger train next to it. , the train was even more crowded! There is no place to put your feet at all!
"Zhang Xiyuan, I discovered that you have the ability to predict the future. Looking at this battle, if we take the passenger train, we may suffer even more than in that cargo box!"
"Then you are overthinking. Since there is civil unrest here now, everyone who can run will definitely run out. There will not be many people in the car coming here." Xianmu said.
"Tell me, where is this Guardian of Water and what does he look like?" Mevati curiously looked at the Kalimudians of different skin colors around her.
"Of course they are the black-skinned Kalimdorans, the guardians of the four holy stones, the four directions, and the four skin colors."
The surrounding Kalimdo people were holding big bags and small bags, and their whole families were trying to squeeze onto the train. Looking at this scene, I felt a little headache, in case...
"What if... the guardian of Kalimdor has left here in a car bound for other places?" Li Shi asked the question that worried me the most.
"Then he is not worthy of being a guardian! We just need to find the sacred stone!"
That's true. If someone like the Guardian of Fire disappears, we may not be able to find the Holy Stone.
According to what the prophet said, we need to find the most admired person among the local people. However, the people around us are all in a hurry, and no one is willing to pay attention to us.
"Let's go to the main city and take a look. These people are so busy on their way that they don't have time to care about us!"
After leaving the train station, I immediately felt like I was in another world. All the buildings and facilities here had a sense of age. Even the street lights on both sides of the road seemed to be dimmer...
There were many motorcycles parked on the roadside. The back seats were modified so that one more person could sit on them. Caron was among us and had the most mature face, so we asked him to go and ask what these motorcycles were doing here. of.
"But I don't
Speak foreign languages! "
"I'll do it." Xianmu stepped forward, said a series of words, and then came back to translate for everyone, "They are equivalent to the taxis here, specializing in picking up people and helping to transport things. He asked, look at our luggage. Do you want to hire their motorcycle?"
"Okay! This feeling is great!" Mewati became excited upon hearing this.
"You pay for it?" Xianmu glared at him angrily.
Mewati grinned sheepishly, "How can you be rich without a Western dollar?"
He turned his eyes to me, "Do you think we can take their car?"
"Please, we've been tossing around in the cargo boxes for a few days, and we don't know how far it is to get to the main city. Why don't we just sit down..." Li Shi also agreed.
"What do you think, Xianmu?"
"People in this type of profession are often the most well-informed. If we take their car today, the advantage is that we may find out about the whereabouts of the guardian. The disadvantage is that if the Ruard people find this place, our traces will also be lost. It will be discovered soon."
It's not that I'm stingy with money. What Xianmu said is exactly what I'm worried about. However, risks and benefits often go hand in hand, and I'm willing to take a gamble.
Soon, on the streets of Kalimdor, a mighty group of motorcycles passed by noisily. We rented a dozen motorcycles in total. The one I was riding on was a middle-aged man who was nearly forty years old. The rider was a man. He was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and his dark hands were covered with wind and frost. Despite this, he followed the other motorcyclists on the road and laughed loudly.
"Xianmu!" I shouted Xianmu's name from the back seat of the motorcycle.
"Their hometown is about to fall apart, why are they still so happy!"
Xianmu was talking to her driver. I could actually understand their conversation, but I didn't speak their language. In fact, these two things are not contradictory. Just like many people can understand dialects, but they may not be able to speak them. Now all languages are like this to me. I can understand and understand them, but not necessarily. can say.
Xianmu's expression became excited!
"What they are saying is the name of a person! That person saved Kalimdor! I think that's the person we are looking for!"
"Ask him where we can find this person!"
The motorcycle team turned at the fork in front of the road and walked onto a wide road. There were a lot of graffiti on the walls of the buildings on both sides of the road, most of which had text content such as no war but peace, as well as a person's profile picture.
The further we go, the more people there are on this road. Many of them are wearing national flags and paint on their faces.
I looked forward and saw that at the end of the crowd was a stadium where a game seemed to be being held.
