When Kui Qing walked back, she spotted Xia Ye from the corner of the street. At this time, he was leaning on a section of the solid stone wall in boredom, looking around, but he didn't notice that Kui Qing had come out.
So what he was doing was not surveillance at all, and even the tailgate looked very amateurish.
"Brother Xia Ye?" Kui Qing smiled and waved to him.
Xia Ye came back to his senses and came over sheepishly.
"Why are you following me?" Kui Qing asked, looking at him curiously.
"Oh...it's nothing." Xia Ye laughed awkwardly.
Kui Qing didn't ask any more questions, and the two of them walked back to the manor just now.
At this time, the setting sun was about to fall, and the sunset in the desert had a different style. It was red and hot, but at the same time, the temperature wrapped in the yellow sand was quickly retreating, and the surrounding area was getting colder.
Xia Ye stole a glance at the little girl beside him.
In fact, when he was distracted just now, his mind was flashing back to the scene when Kui Qing said those words. Her firm look at that time could never be forgotten.
"Remember, no matter whether brother Alvin is alive or dead, I will definitely get him back! I will! No matter how much the price is!"
At that time, Xia Ye became obsessed with this obsession.
He also knew very well that if Kui Qing was so steadfast in her vows, she definitely had a different kind of affection for Alvin.
It's just that he doesn't care about this, and he's not even jealous of Alvin, not at all.
For some reason, he suddenly thought of Tini, and suddenly understood something. Some things were the same, but some things were different.
After returning to the manor, Kui Qing sat down with Xia Ye and Langyun and discussed it carefully.
Kui Qing first recounted Elder Naqi's conclusion in full.
After listening to this, Xia Ye and Lang Yun suddenly realized something, and then they were a little hesitant. The optimistic Qiao Zhi happily said that Alvin and the princess must be safe.
Kui Qing did not explain too much about the "Luo Dai" organization, but he confidently stated that their intelligence was trustworthy. After a short discussion, Langyun and others expressed that they all believed in Kui Qing's judgment.
This should be the only good news they have heard in recent times, so while they prayed silently in their hearts, they also tried their best to convince themselves of this conclusion.
Langyun also thought of something. At that time in Tewadedan, the ore shop where Kui Qing led Alvin to go with him should also belong to this mysterious "Luo Dai" organization.
In short, everyone unanimously decided to wait in Madeira for a few days until there was news from the "Lodai" organization before leaving.
-------------------------------------------------- -
In the evening, Tuoke arrived in a carriage as promised.
The carriages were no longer the ones in the afternoon. The lineup of the convoy that came in the evening was obviously much more luxurious. The ones pulling the cart in front were four conch horses. The conch shells facing the sky were glowing with circles of sea-blue light, and colorful light spots flickered from time to time. Against the backdrop of the night, there was something like Dreamlike atmosphere.
This kind of conch horse would shrink into the pointed conch on its back to sleep at night. I don't know how the prince and his subordinates trained these monsters to make them work so hard at night. Presumably the means should be quite
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"special".
When it comes to the carriage, it adheres to the prince's consistent preference. The parts that should be gilded are not spared. Even the wheel hubs have a dazzling golden color. The rest of the place is made of high-grade black ink paint as a base. This "gold in ink" style is really quite alternative, yet still in style.
At this time, Kui Qing, Xia Ye, Lang Yun, and Qiao Zhi were already waiting in the living room. Kui Qing specifically told her not to go with too many people, so in the end it was decided that four people would attend the appointment.
"Miss Kui Qing, let's go?" Tuoke sat in the carriage, smiled and waved the tall hat in his hand, and raised his voice. This gangster's gangster attitude completely abandoned the aristocratic gentleman's attitude. .
Kui Qing, wearing a burgundy slim-fitting dress, walked out first. She smiled lightly at Camelot, which fascinated the prince, his capable subordinate, so much that he couldn't even move his eyes.
Kui Qing knew that there was a big temperature difference between day and night in the desert, so she wore an extra dark brown sloping shoulder burqa on her upper body. Dark coffee and burgundy, these two strong colors are stacked together, but they cannot suppress her endless playfulness. The youthful atmosphere unique to a little girl can subvert any color relationship.
Xia Ye and others who followed behind were dressed in formal attire and were immediately attracted by the shining conch horses. They have never seen such a mount before.
Even Qiao Zhi's unicorn is not as impressive as the conch at night.
Along the way, Kui Qing and Camel Ke were talking and laughing.
Xia Ye and the others were sitting in the carriage at the back, feeling a little uneasy. After all, they have no experience in dealing with these "big guys", not to mention, this time they are facing the kind of people who eat people without spitting out their bones.
-------------------------------------------------- -------------
The carriage was traveling towards the center of the city. At this time, the noisy market had calmed down, and most of the shops had closed their stalls. There were also a lot fewer pedestrians on the street. There were only a few pubs with lights on, and the number of customers inside was also very sparse. It can be seen that the taste of the "dry wine" is really quite ordinary. Overall, nighttime activities in Madeira are also pretty lacking. Of course, this is one of the reasons why public security is so good.
The carriage came to the center of the crossroads of the market. The driver pulled the reins in his hand, and the conch horses stopped under the large stone statue of half eagle and half human.
Xia Ye, Lang Yun and others were looking out, curious as to why they stopped here.
Moreover, they also discovered that not only their group, but also several convoys were also parked nearby, all of which were carriages pulled by conch horses. I think the people in these carriages should be the guests invited by the prince tonight.
And the strange thing is that all the carriages neatly surround the statue, forming a circle with end to end facing each other.
Then Camelke and several other prince's men who went to pick him up stepped out of the carriage one after another. Each of them took out the dark gold daggers from their waists and stabbed them into the keystone stone base of the statue.
Xia Ye and others were far away at this time and could not see clearly. In fact, there were some horizontal and vertical hollow slots on the inscriptions on the base of the cornerstone.
They turned their wrists at the same time, and these dark gold daggers were like keys, used to activate the mechanism.
Then, the half-human, half-eagle statue actually "moved".
The right wing of the statue unfolded in the blink of an eye, and in the night
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The color blooms with pure golden light.
What's even weirder is the face of the statue. On the upper half of the face, the original pair of pupils turned into two shining one-runi coins. On the lower half of the eagle's face, an evil smile appeared at the corner of the eagle's beak, which looked creepy under the night.
Then something more interesting happened. One carriage started to sink, and then the one behind it also started to sink, one after another.
Kui Qing, who had attended the prince's night banquet many times, was naturally not surprised. Xia Ye, Lang Yun and others looked around dumbfounded, with curiosity and fear repeatedly intertwining in their hearts.
Kui Qing stuck her head out of the carriage and winked at a few people, telling them to "calm down."
When Xia Ye's car sank to the ground, they discovered that there was no way out below.
Below is a circular ramp with a height difference, from top to bottom. Each carriage is actually supported by a flat plate. I don’t know where the prince of the desert found the skilled craftsmen to accurately calculate the distance of descent and the angle of rotation of each plate, so that he could connect the entire circular lane of the city one after another.
The obsidian stones on both sides of the driveway are arranged as if they are free, as if it were daytime. On the stone walls on both sides, there is a golden krait spitting out red letters every few feet. Although it is a statue, it can really spit out letters, and it is accompanied by the "hissing" sound, which really scares people. Goosebumps.
Then, one after another, the carriages drove down.
First, we passed a long, flat and narrow road. At this time, it was no longer on the slope. People in the car could clearly feel that the car was no longer leaning forward or backward.
Then the scene that appeared in front of Xia Ye and others was truly called "a different world."
More than a dozen carriages stopped in front of a large wooden camp.
This is the real "underworld".
Every connection in the camp is made of the most primitive wooden structure, which is well connected and well-proportioned. The top is supported by densely arranged wooden beams to prevent the yellow sand above from collapsing.
It turns out that this is the earliest and most primitive "Madeira".
The camp is divided into two camps, the left and right, like two dams. To be precise, when viewed from above, it looks more like a pair of hands pushing chips forward.
And between the two "palms", there is a waterfall, a waterfall of yellow sand flying down!
The flying sand goes straight down three thousand feet, and there is no other world waiting for you to come.
Xia Ye, Lang Yun, and Qiao Zhi were so shocked that they were completely speechless by the breathtaking sight in front of them.
Many of the groups of people who got off the carriage were regular visitors here, so when they passed by Xia Ye and the others, they smiled contemptuously at "newbies" like them.
Kui Qing patted her palms a few times to attract the attention of several people, and then followed the flow of people towards the waterfall.
Xia Ye and the others followed Kui Qing obediently and climbed up the steps from the well-proportioned barracks on the left.
In fact, both the left and right sides can lead to the bottom of the waterfall, depending on your preference.
On the left and right, these barracks, large and small, with different heights, were all lit with high-key lights, and noisy voices came from inside.
It turns out that all the prince's men are gathered here.
The scene at this time can be described as brightly lit and full of people.
It turns out that beneath the yellow sand is a city that never sleeps.
