"Wow! It's truly a desert! It's still as hot as ever here!"
At the crowded city gate, many pedestrians dressed in cool and exotic styles cast their eyes on men who were out of tune with the atmosphere and maids in gorgeous uniforms.
The two of them were Xiao Lin and Liu Zi, and the place they were in was Riod Town.
Yes.
Xiao Lin came to "Di Wrong" again.
When it comes to fighting monsters and upgrading, we have to mention the dungeons in the labyrinth city Orario.
Is there any more suitable upgrade point than a dungeon that can breed monsters infinitely, increase the strength of the floor, and also drop rare items?
The answer is no!
And not to mention that he is extremely coveted for artifacts... Well, now I have to go to Orario.
"Master Xiaolin." Liu Zi beside her stretched out her little hand and said, "Let me get the package behind you."
"It doesn't matter, I'll just come and get it." Xiao Lin shook his head and refused.
"Yes, after all, Mr. Xiaolin, you sacrificed your appearance and worked as a stallion for half a month to get the work-related injury money. It's not incomprehensible that you are so protective."
"Although what you said is correct... but your words are too venomous, Miss Liuzi. Please be a little considerate of my difficulties, please."
Xiao Lin covered his face with his hands, pretending to cry, and threw himself into Liu Zi's reserved chest.
But she wasn't wrong.
Half a month has passed since I decided to come to Dicuo.
In order to ensure that the gods can make artifacts, Xiaolin deliberately collected the rare materials he could obtain. In addition to the specialty Adamantite and Holy Light Stone in "Su Qing", he also went to the world of "Zhanmei" to collect materials for making [Kalei Changes·Cross Tail].
After all, mortals can only make imperial implements or ministerial implements from materials, but gods can definitely make divine implements!
Xiao Lin thought so and ran to the imperial capital happily.
Then he got caught.
Because they didn't go back to see them for a long time, Leonai, Esdeath and the others were very angry, so they were done such and such unexplainable things. In the end, they even competed to see who could squeeze the juice better.
That’s outrageous!
If Lubbock didn't think he was pitiful (jealous), he probably would have been left there forever. So much so that I feel scared when I think about it now, so I won’t say anything anymore.
The most important thing now is how to get to the labyrinth city Orario.
Riod Town is still as prosperous as before, with constant cries and busy people on the streets. There are still people selling weapons, grain and oil and other war necessities here, but the difference is that there is no slave trading area here.
It seems that Goddess Freya's behavior has affected this town. It should be said that she is worthy of being a goddess of beauty. She exudes an air of freedom wherever she goes.
Walking on the street, the way Xiao Lin and Liu Zi were dressed attracted people's attention, especially the latter's cold yet delicate pretty face, and the barely concealed contempt. Many people were surprised and deeply curious and confused after seeing it.
Because of Freya's previous visit, many of the businessmen around her have made a lot of money, so they expect that another goddess will visit here.
Unfortunately, their expectations were dashed.
Liu Zi is not a goddess.
At this time, a dark-skinned middle-aged businessman with a turban and beard came up.
No antiques, no change, a place to stay.
Xiao Lin was just about to make a three-point move, but he didn't expect that the other party would show a flattering and flattering smile first.
The middle-aged businessman humbly bent down and said in a respectful and fearful tone: "Excuse me, are you Mr. Xiaolin who is with Mr. Freya?"
"...Do you know me?" Xiao Lin raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, yes! I met you when I was serving the goddess at the Oasis Villa! It's such an honor to see you again!"
Hearing Xiaolin's disguised admission, he was very excited and showed a hint of expectation.
Xiaolin knew that he was one of the businessmen who had benefited from Freya's visit here. I am coming here now, probably because I want to get some benefits from here, such as finding out the location of the goddess Freya.
But the other party is a businessman. With his well-informed information, he should know the goddess's position better than himself. But now he comes to ask, it should be that the goddess has disappeared again.
Sure enough, it was exactly what Xiaolin thought.
"I am Geshe-la, an insignificant businessman. I'm really sorry if I bother you. But I would like to take the liberty to ask you whether the goddess has returned from the capital of Sharzad. You are here to say That goddess has come back, right? If someone needs to be by your side, I, Geshe-la, will be duty-bound!"
Sharzad is Yali's kingdom and one of the protagonists of this war.
From what Geshe-la just said, Xiao Lin can deduce that now is the last critical moment of Yali's journey to restore her country.
Of course, she will succeed.
With the help of the beauty goddess Freya and several of her most powerful relatives, he didn't know how to lose the flying dragon riding face, and it was the kind of Flag that he set casually!
Xiao Lin shook his head and calmed down his thoughts.
"Sorry, I think your expectations may have been disappointed."
"……What?"
"Actually, when Lady Freya left Riod Town, I also said goodbye to Lord Beauty. Therefore, I don't know where that Lord is now. I'm sorry that I can't help you."
"how come……"
This sentence reveals two meanings.
One is that Xiao Lin has no substantial relationship with the goddess Freya, and the other is that Freya has abandoned him.
Geshe-la looked very disappointed.
For businessmen, risks also come with opportunities. As long as there are ten times the profit, they can even sell the reins to hang themselves. Even if the goddess Freya is willful and free, they will still flock to her, gathering around her like locusts. Nibbling randomly under the skirt of the goddess.
The disappointed Geshe-la did not show any disgust and left directly, even after hearing that Xiaolin and Freya had no substantive relationship.
Mature businessmen can squeeze out a hint of sweetness even from chewed sugar cane.
And Xiao Lin must have extremely outstanding skills, otherwise Freya would not have been with him for a while, especially when she summoned him to her bedroom late at night.
Yes, he was there that night.
It was Xiao Lin who was admiring the moon in the atrium, and when Freya asked him to go to the bedroom on the top floor, Geshe-la happened to be resting in a relatively hidden corner and only heard the conversation between them.
Would he be an ordinary person if he could go to the goddess's palace and kiss her?
Geshe-la was already brainstorming, but there was no flaw in his appearance. Instead, he said eagerly: "Well... I wonder if Mr. Xiaolin needs any help. As long as I, Geshe, can help, I will definitely help." You do your best.”
coming! The drama is coming!
Xiaolin answered so patiently and politely because he wanted to use the other party's ability to get to Orario, otherwise who would know where Orario was.
"Actually, I do have a bit of trouble."
"Please tell me."
"I have urgent matters and need to return to Labyrinth City as soon as possible, but walking in the Kaios Desert is too slow. Even riding a camel takes a lot of time, so I don't know if you can do anything."
"Well..."
"In addition, you can rest assured of my strength. Even giant desert worms can be easily dealt with. After all, I am also an adventurer who has served as Lady Freya's bodyguard."
"Really, that's great!"
A more eager smile appeared on Geshe-la's face.
He is truly a shrewd businessman who does not let go of hawks when he sees rabbits.
However, there was no substantial friendship between them. Only what they paid for would be rewarded, and each of them had what they needed. Xiaolin didn't have any dissatisfaction.
Geshe-la had some dealings with Labyrinth City and often went there. Rather, as the center of the world, most merchants have direct or indirect transactions with Labyrinth City.
In order to obtain more profits, Geshe-la also bought the Sand Sea Ship like Boffman.
Thanks to this, he will quickly accumulate wealth, become a slightly famous businessman, and be qualified to serve Lady Freya, the Goddess of Beauty.
I have to say, it's quite a coincidence. Due to a strange combination of circumstances, Geshe-la thought that Xiaolin and Freya had some secrets that they could not tell.
Then it was very simple. After quickly reorganizing the ship, Geshe-la hurriedly set off for Orario.
No matter how greedy or shrewd he was in obtaining benefits, at least he acted quickly after Xiaolin said that something happened and he needed to return to Labyrinth City quickly.
Of course, if he procrastinates, there is no guarantee that Xiao Lin will find someone else for help, and by then he will be on the verge of tears.
Facing the strong wind blowing from the desert, the entire desert still has a barren and lifeless atmosphere, at least on the surface it seems like this.
There are undulating sand dunes everywhere, with no end.
It is simply a wishful thinking for most people to cross the desert on their own legs. Even riding a camel carries the risk of getting lost.
Sure enough, taking a boat was the only option.
Although he wanted to reach his destination safely along the way, unfortunately, the monsters lurking under the desert did not allow him.
"Master Xiaolin."
"I saw it, Liu Zi."
Xiao Lin didn't need to be reminded by the waiter beside him, and Xiao Lin discovered the enemy through [Five Visions Omnipotence].
Our old friend, the giant desert worm.
"My luck is a bit bad." Xiao Lin muttered softly, and then shouted loudly to Geshe-la in the distance: "Mr. Shipowner, please tell the crew to hold the handrails, we have guests coming!"
"……what did you say?"
"I said, the big one is coming!"
Before Geshe-la could understand the situation, the ship sailing in the sand sea suddenly began to rock from side to side, and its starboard side rose high, as if it was about to overturn the ship.
People on the boat screamed, and there was an atmosphere of panic in the air.
"Monster...it's a monster!!!"
"No! Come on, run away!"
"Don't panic! Run off the ship now or die! Hurry up and use the magic cannon, hurry up!"
Except for a few people who were frightened, others quickly counterattacked under Geshe-la's command. But just like Boffman's magic cannon, the ship had already been intercepted by the time they were ready.
"Let me do it this time, Liu Zi."
"Yes, Master Xiaolin."
Now that Xiaolin has [Favor], if he wants to gain proficiency, he can only rely on himself to defeat monsters and level up. It is impossible to sit back and enjoy the gains like a boss.
Therefore, Liu Zi must not be allowed to steal experience.
With a flick of his right hand, five long silk threads scattered. Xiao Lin kicked his feet and jumped up from the deck. When the giant worm saw the tiny human, it opened its huge mouth and waited for it to fall into the trap. However, what it didn't expect was an extremely hard silk thread that trapped the entire head and tightened it.
Before he could struggle, his entire head was cut off by the thread in an instant.
Blood poured in mid-air, falling like light rain on the side of the ship. There was a loud bang, a huge cloud of dust was raised, and the giant worm's body fell to the ground.
Only when the pool of blood turned the sand red and the smell of blood hit their faces did the people on the boat react.
"Dead, dead..."
"Are you dead?!"
"No, it can't be... That giant worm that can easily overturn a ship was killed so easily?!"
Everyone's eyes were in disbelief.
But soon, this look turned into admiration, and the eyes looking at Xiaolin were full of eagerness.
Geshe-la went even further. He took out a small bag of coins from nowhere on his body as if by magic, trotted up to Xiao Lin and thanked him enthusiastically: "Oh, Mr. Xiao Lin! Thank you for your help, thank you for your help! This is mine. A little kindness, please accept it, you must accept it!"
If you have strength, you will be popular wherever you go.
Xiao Lin is a capable person.
Geshe-la admitted that he was gambling. When Xiaolin said that he would return to Orario and work as a guard, he agreed without testing his strength. But now it is obvious that he made the right bet.
Making friends with such powerful people would bring no harm to him as a businessman.
Xiao Lin did not accept the money.
He has his own principles.
When Geshe-la got out of the ship, he served as a guard. This was a condition of the deal set from the beginning, so he would not receive any further payment.
And what Xiao Lin did made Geshe-la believe that he had not misjudged the person. But unknowingly, the title changed from "Mr. Kobayashi" to "Lord Kobayashi".
After that, neither monsters nor other people came to disturb Xiao Lin.
But because he couldn't contain his inner curiosity, Geshe-la couldn't help but come closer and asked cautiously: "Master Xiaolin, are you a first-level adventurer?"
In "Di Wrong", LV1 is a lower-level adventurer, LV2 is a third-level adventurer, LV3 and Lv4 are second-level adventurers, and LV5 and above are first-level adventurers.
Xiaolin just showed great strength, so Geshe-la misunderstood.
Unfortunately, he guessed wrong.
"No, I'm only LV1."
"LV1?!!!"
Obviously, Geshe-la didn't believe it, but Xiaolin smiled at the thought without explanation.
Human-spirited businessmen know very well that they can't be too curious about everything, so they don't ask questions without knowing the importance of things.
I don’t know if Geshe-la was too unlucky. After that, they encountered different types of monsters several times, but Xiaolin easily solved them all.
This made him more sure that Xiao Lin was a strong one, and at the same time, he was secretly glad for his original decision.
After the ship sailed rapidly on the desert for more than half a day, Xiao Lin arrived at the labyrinth city... a tavern far away. This is where businessmen gather, and it is also where Freya met Boffman.
Geshe-la then threw him to another merchant.
Another half day passed, and it was not until evening that he arrived at the maze city with a cart of spices.
"We're finally here, Labyrinth City."
Xiao Lin sighed slightly.
Even outside the city, he could see tall chalk towers reaching into the clouds.
--Tower of Babel.
What fell here was the labyrinth city known as the center of the continent. Its prosperity and the number of pedestrians far exceeded Axel's.
Next, the Axis Cult will be slightly shaken here.
He is looking forward to it!
