Chapter 15 The Merchant's Story

When He Ning woke up, it was already three days later.

Sitting up, my head hurts, my eyes are dark, and my stomach is rumbling.

The green lizard wasn't there, and neither were the mammoths and landrunners.He tried to make a sound, but his throat was a little sore, his voice was hoarse, strange memories flooded into his mind, fragmented pictures, he couldn't find a clue, it was like a mess.

He Ning bent his knees and combed his hair vigorously. He always felt that he had slept for a long time and kept dreaming. After waking up, everything in the dream became blurred. The only thing he remembered most clearly was the red lizard.

With dazzling jewel-like scales and a mighty roar, it spread its wings and flew in the clouds, looking down on the world.

From a cub to an adult, this red one is like a brand, deeply engraved in He Ning's mind.

However, this is not He Ning's memory.If this continues, will he become another person?

Sigh, how strange can it be?Traveling by itself is unreliable.

He Ning raised his head when the sound of heavy footsteps came, it was a mammoth.The green lizard, which had turned dark green, followed it, and when He Ning woke up, Sa Yazi ran over.The mammoth uttered a loud elephant cry, and the ground beasts ambushing their prey by the half-moon lake suddenly raised their heads from the grass, scaring the drinking animals away.

When they got close, the green lizard started to circle around He Ning, and the mammoth raised its proboscis, He Ning immediately tensed up, "Don't spray water!"

The mammoth's movements froze in the middle, his big ears slapped, his eyes were puzzled and innocent.

"Neither does being friendly!"

Then puzzled, continue to be innocent.

"Not even celebrating!"

Under the high pressure, the mammoth had no choice but to give up, with a cry of elephants, unwilling to reconcile.

"I know you're happy." He Ning stood up and patted the mammoth's nose, "There's water everywhere, there's no need to spray it."

If someone knew that during the three days when he was lethargic, the hottest time was when the mammoth sprayed him with water to cool him down, how would he feel?

More than 80.00% of the possibility, he would rather not know.

Soon, He Ning's stomach started to growl again. Instead of worrying about things that may not happen in the future, he should solve the people's livelihood first.

I don't have the energy to catch fish for the time being, so I can only go to the pool to pick fruits.The green lizard and the mammoth followed him. After a short distance, He Ning sweated a lot. He rubbed his stomach, and he was definitely hungry.

The water gushing out of the pool nourishes the deserted city, the gray and green vines are covered with stone pillars, and the fruits exude a fragrance, which attracts the little birds in the desert. But it is a big green bird.

The two sand cats brought back by He Ning made their home by the Banyue Lake. Insects, birds, and small reptiles are enough for them to prey on. It won't take long for the two to form a litter.

With a whoosh, the birds that were pecking at fruits and catching whitebait flapped their wings and flew up, and several big birds stepping on the water also looked at He Ning and the green lizard and mammoth beside him vigilantly.

The arrival of these three people obviously made them very uneasy.

No way, He Ning sent the mammoth to the lake to gnaw bark and graze grass, but the green lizard could not be sent away, so he had to let it catch fish by the water and walk towards the pool by himself.The water was getting deeper and deeper, and the black hair was soaked. The big bird was still vigilant, but the little birds in the sky fell down one after another, as if they thought that He Ning would not pose a threat to them.

He Ning picked off a bunch of turquoise fruits, one of which still had the marks of a bird pecking at it.The mouth began to secrete saliva, and I couldn't wait to put the fruit into my mouth, my mouth was full of crisp and sweet.

One after another, He Ning finally ate his fill and heaved a sigh of relief, only to find that his appetite had increased, and this period had fully eaten the amount of the previous day.

The green lizard catches fish by the water, but it is not as convenient as in the dark river.The fish is too small, if you swallow it in your mouth, many of them will fall out from between your teeth.On the contrary, the big green-feathered birds are extremely flexible, stepping on them with their claws and holding them in their beaks, one after another, almost never falling.He swallowed one with his neck back, and barked twice, as if mocking the clumsiness of the green lizard.

Seeing the little fish struggling in the big bird's beak, He Ning began to swallow again.After spotting it, he grabbed a two-foot-long fish from the water and put it directly into his mouth.

As the teeth grind together, He Ning is satisfied with the deliciousness of the fish, but after a while, he is stunned.

Raw fish?

It's not that he can't make a fire, why does he only want to eat raw?Still think it tastes good?Could it be related to eating raw fish in the underground river?

He Ning's face was a little ugly, and then he shook his head, stopped catching fish, and walked to the green lizard in a few steps, he had to think about it, he had to think about it.

Leaving the pool, He Ning was restless because of his irritability.Walking along the river, he walked to the temple unknowingly, looking at the building in front of him, should he go again?

Undecided, he simply turned around and left, continuing to wander around the city.Gradually away from the river, they came to the place where the desert bandits were wiped out by the land beasts.

There were no camels or human bones to be seen, only dried blood, torn cloth, extinguished torches, and a dozen scattered bags and water bladders on the ground.

The mouth of the bag was tied with animal tendons, and one pocket was bitten by a ground beast, and the carefully wrapped spices inside were scattered. The ground beast obviously didn't like this smell, and the other bags were just thrown there without any damage.

He Ning walked over, the smell of this spice reminded him of pepper.Bending down to pick up a good bag, he untied the tendons, and a few off-white crystals rolled out. Before He Ning could identify what it was, he was sucked into the mouth by the green lizard, creaked a few times, and swallowed. Belly.

He poured out a few more, and under the eyes of the green lizard, He Ning carefully licked it, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Salt!"

Although it is a bit bitter and astringent, it is indeed salt.

Pour the salt grains back, fasten the pockets again, and seriously say to the disappointed green lizard: "Brother, you can't eat salt like this, are you afraid of getting it?"

In more than a dozen bags, there are salt, pepper, cumin, and even ground chili powder.

Thank God!

He Ning's eyes filled with tears, the unlucky days have passed for a long time, and he has almost forgotten what it is like to be lucky.

Twelve bags were bundled together, and even the one bitten by the ground beast was not spared. Now, even if he didn't drink the beast's blood, he wouldn't be in danger of becoming a white-haired man.

The eastern part of the Aran continent is rich in gems and gold, but it does not produce salt, and the production of spices is also very small. All the salt and most of the spices are transported by caravans from the north and the south.

He Ning is only happy in the days when he has salt to eat, but he doesn't know that the value of the dozen or so bags in his hands is comparable to gold.

Will the value of the things carried by the bandit leader be lower?

That day, He Ning had a hearty meal of grilled fish, and the land beast dragged back a rabbit for him, added cumin and chili, and the fragrance was ten miles away.

A tasteful life is a real life!

Don't worry about attracting wild beasts, if there are land-walking beasts, they will deliver food when they come.

He Ning washed his hands, looked at the reflection in the water, frowned, took out a long-unused knife from his pocket, grabbed a strand of long hair, and cut it off with all his strength. With short hair, I brushed the broken hair in front of the forehead, so that it is refreshing.

Leaning contentedly next to the mammoth, the stomach problem is solved, it is time to think of a way for clothes, a pair of pants is always a problem, in case one day dies, is it really necessary to be like primitive people, adding leaves and vines to the body?

Turning over, he had to go out of the deserted city if he wanted to get the fabric, and He Ning couldn't help feeling a little terrified at the thought of contacting people in this world.

Forget it, it's useless to think about it now, go to bed first, and talk about it tomorrow.

As the moon rose, He Ning yawned and closed his eyes.The green lizard leaned against him, his belly was full, and he fell into a deep sleep.

Mammoth is used to life as a cushion, and the objection is invalid, so he has to compromise.

He Ning curled up in his sleep, his short black hair was growing at an incredible speed.

Euty Ramus

There was an explosion in the mirror room, and the witch who was waiting outside was terrified at the same time. She pushed open the door and broke in, ignoring other things.

The emaciated witch collapsed to the ground, blood staining her robes.The prism that symbolized Otiramus was shattered into pieces, and less than a third of it was still intact, and the rest were all scattered on the ground, more or less stained with the blood of the great witch.

"Big witch!"

The witches were terrified, and ran over barefoot to help the dying witch. Compared with a month ago, the witch was even older, withered and emaciated, and her hair was colorless ashes.

It was as if there was a terrible curse hovering over Otiramus, constantly devouring the fire of life and witch power of the great witch.

The prism left by the first generation Otiramus witch was broken, which was a terrible omen. The witches were terrified, but they couldn't know the answer from the witch.

Is it a punishment from the gods?

The big witch was sent back to the bedroom, except for the blood-stained robe, if it weren't for the heaving of his chest, he would have looked like a skeleton wrapped in human skin.

Otiramus tried to block the news, but the restless witches were still taken advantage of. Before the great witch woke up from the coma, everything that happened in the temple had already spread in the Alan continent.

"Great witch?"

Mu Di leaned on the soft pillow, held the scepter in his left hand, tapped lightly on the palm of his right hand, and looked at the sheepskin scroll spread out in front of him. His blue eyes turned into golden vertical pupils again.

The merchant who survived the catastrophe was led out of the desert by a kind shepherd, and came to Bitiya with the herd.

The history of the city of Bitia is as long as that of the city of Pulan, but the style of the city is completely different.

The walls and buildings in Pulan City are mostly made of various stone materials and painted in bright colors, similar to the ancient capital of the Aram Empire and the city of witches that disappeared in the long river of history recorded in copper plates.The city of Bitiya is more like a settlement of nomads. Except for the tall city walls and a few main buildings in the city, most of them are tents. The number of tents outside the city is far more than that in the city.

The fences surrounding the livestock and tents of different styles form the unique scenery of Bitiya.

The shepherd drove the one-horned sheep back to the residence, and the businessman woke up and told all about what happened to him in the desert.

Terrible robbers appearing in the oasis, the desolate ancient city deep in the desert, terrifying giant beasts, devils who look like humans but are not...

Some people believe it, but more people think he is a lunatic.

The businessman swore that everything was true. His description of the deserted city was exaggerated, but it also aroused people's curiosity.

There are many legends in the desert, and the lost ancient city is one of them. It is not only spread among the robbers, but also the shepherds are quite familiar with it.The businessman kept telling the Bitiya people about his experience, and the news quickly reached Siculus' ears.

After feeding a whole leg of lamb to Dragon Eagle, Siculus tore off the flaxen cloth scarf from his head, and ordered the soldiers to bring the merchant to the City Lord's Mansion.Siculus was very interested in the stories told by the merchants.
