"Expelled by the tribe?"

Hearing the intermittent words of the men before they passed out, and seeing the brand marks on their wrists, the girl who originally wanted to take them back to the camp hesitated.

The Dosha people were vassals of Bitiya City. The three men in front of them were all in their prime, but they were expelled. They must have made a big mistake.What is even more doubtful is, how did they survive from the city of Bitiya near the eastern border to the deserted city deep in the desert?Ordinary people enter the desert, leave the tribe, have no livestock, and are not familiar with the location of the oasis, they will not survive for three days at all!

"Nadya, what's wrong?"

Another herding girl came over leading the camel. The man spoke in such a low voice that only the girl standing in front of him could hear.

"Oni, they are vassals of the Dosha people in the city of Bitiya." Najia turned her head and said, "If I'm not wrong, they should be warriors expelled by the tribe."

"What?" Oni was taken aback, "How did they get here?"

"I don't know either." Nadya tapped the man who had just spoken with a whip, "He passed out before he finished speaking."

"Do you want to save them?"

"I'm not sure." Nadya frowned. "We shouldn't take anyone back without the master's permission, especially them."

"Then..." Oni hesitated for a moment, then said, "Kill them?"

"No, leave them here, the carrion birds will come soon."

In the desert, the gathering of scavengers only means one thing, death.

Aoni wanted to say something, but Nadya had already mounted the camel and walked towards the herd with a whip.

"It's late, go back early."

"Oh."

The two girls drove the goats to the oasis without looking behind them again.The camel bell rang, and the crisp sound seemed to wake up the comatose man, and his fingers covered in yellow sand moved slightly.

Najia and Oni returned to the oasis, drove the sheep into the fence, discussed it, found Mia, and told her about the encounter with the Bitiya people.

"Are you sure?" Miya was cooking soup. On the fire, the pot was bubbling with steam, and the herbs added into the broth gave off an irresistible aroma.

"Judging from their robes and collars, they should be Bithians."

"That's not what I asked." Miya added two kinds of hay to the pot without adding other spices, and the soup still had a strong taste. "Are you sure those people won't live tomorrow?"

Nadya and Oni looked at each other, Mia put down the spoon, stood up, and looked at them sternly, "Have you forgotten what I told you? Have you forgotten the days in the robber village? The comfortable life has filled your minds." Hay?"

The expressions of the two girls suddenly changed, and their faces turned pale.

"Since you think they are suspicious, why don't you kill them? If you can't do it, bring them back. Once you find something wrong, you can do it immediately!"

"Miya..."

"Put away unnecessary sympathy, everything we have is given by the master! The master has a special status, and there are many people watching in secret. If you forget this..." Mi Ya pulled up her hood and did not continue talking, but He grabbed the dagger that was put aside, "Where are they, take me there."

Najia and Aoni didn't dare to hesitate any longer, they also picked up their weapons and brought Mia to the place where those Bithian people were found.But found that there was nothing there, and several men were gone.The traces on the sand are no longer clear, and the footprints are also covered by the yellow sand blown by the wind.Miya's face became ugly. They were so close to Banyue Lake, they probably hid in the oasis, and they could sneak into the deserted city as long as they stole a set of craftsman's clothes.

The two girls bit their lips, clenched the dagger regretfully.If time could be turned back, they would kill these suspicious men without hesitation, or even if they didn't kill them, they would take them back to the camp and take care of them as Miya said.Compared with Aoni, Nadya has more regrets, after all, she made the decision.

"Mia, what do we do now?"

"Wait." Miya inserted the dagger back into her waist, her charming face was filled with coldness and killing intent, "No matter how cunning a desert fox is, it will show its tail sooner or later!"

The three girls did not enter the oasis. The oasis outside the deserted city is densely covered with a lot of snakes and poisonous insects. The tall grass near Banyue Lake is the territory of sand cats.Mia believed that if a few people of unknown origin hid here, it would be impossible to find them right away. It would be better to wait and see what they wanted to do.

"I'll talk to the master." Miya's voice was cold, her eyes were like knives, "Don't make the same mistake again, and don't make me regret bringing you out of the robber village."

"Yes."

This kind of Miya is the Mills witch who makes the robbers dare not cross the threshold half a step, and she is also the tribal blood who defends the oath with life and soul.

She dedicated all her loyalty and tenderness to He Ning. For He Ning, she can become a knife and a spear!This is not the duty of a witch, but she is willing to do so.

She didn't dare to think about the reason, nor did she want to think about it.

She only wishes to attribute all of this to loyalty. The faces of her parents have long been blurred in her memory, but the oath she made is always clear.

"Mills witch is loyal to the great witch, and Mills people will never betray!"

The girls left, and the soup that Miya cooked still needs a certain amount of heat. When she left, a girl with good craftsmanship was standing by her side.

Nadya and Oni walked to the fire and prepared dinner with several other girls. Miya found the knight captain and briefly explained the whole thing. The knights immediately stepped up their vigilance, and the craftsmen became more careful.

On the surface everything is calm, but under the calm is a murderous intent.

People living in the desert, knights entrusted with important tasks by Pulan City, anyone who dares to offend the people protected by the city lord will become the soul of the knights!

Things were arranged and the soup was cooked, Miya went to the temple to deliver the soup to He Ning, but was in vain.

In the room, there are only copper plates piled up in the corner and parchment rolls spread out, and He Ning and the green lizard are gone.

Miya stood at the door holding the soup can, knowing that He Ning had gone out again.

During these days, He Ning would sit on the green lizard's back every few days and inspect his territory from the air.

The decree promulgated by Modi declared that the deserted city and the oasis belonged to his territory. In fact, He Ning is the real owner here.

The green lizard soaring in the air, the young man with long hair blown up, under the sun and in the clear sky, he is like a messenger of God.When night falls, it will bring people a different kind of shock.

He Ning's journey of magic stick has made great progress. In addition to girls and knights, craftsmen also regard him as an out-and-out oracle.

The ever-expanding oasis, the river flowing through the city, the tall and majestic temple, and the rainwater that the people in the desert have been looking forward to for a hundred years, all of these were brought by this black-haired young man.

Living here is like being in heaven.

During the breaks, the artisans always gather to discuss everything, if the Lord of Pulan and the oracle allow it, they hope to live here after the deserted city is rebuilt.Even without the prosperity of Pulan City, even if they want to be isolated from the world, they want to stay.

He Ning can perceive a thing or two about the minds of the craftsmen.Not only did the attitude become more respectful, but people also offered tribute in front of the temple.Although it is just wood carvings and fruits collected in the oasis, it is enough to express their sincerity.

"Stay?"

He Ning couldn't make up his mind.These people were sent by Moody, and they would not harbor any ill intentions towards him anyway. With the previous performance of magic sticks, He Ning believes that as long as he continues to guide them, they will definitely become his iron sticks.

The construction of a deserted city needs people, and even more people are needed after it is completed. Otherwise, why would he build these houses?

Thinking of the gold and precious stones that have never been in his hands, He Ning couldn't help the pain every time he recalled the golden light that filled the room.He gave Moody so much money, is it enough to cover the cost of keeping these craftsmen and knights?Assuming that it's the expatriate labor fee, Moody is also making a lot of money, right?

After much deliberation, He Ning felt that he was at a disadvantage in this matter.

As the sun set, a bonfire was lit in the camp outside the city, and the aroma of food wafted out. He Ning sat on the green lizard's back and signaled to fly higher.

An important reason for choosing this time to come out is to avoid the nourishing soup sent by Miya.Thinking about the soup, my nose felt a little itchy again.I touched my nose, but fortunately there was no nosebleed.Do not make up any more, because if you make up again, it will not only be a nosebleed problem.

After talking a few times, Naihe Miya's will is extremely firm, there is no other way, He Ning can only hide, and once you can hide, it counts as once.

The green lizard flapped its wings, opened its mouth and let out a loud roar, which spread far away.

The people on the ground raised their heads and saw the green lizard and He Ning in the air, immediately put away the things in their hands and prayed devoutly.

The background is a sky full of red clouds, surrounded by a bit of cool evening wind, He Ning closed his eyes, and a light rain fell again, soaking the green grass and yellow sand.

People in the deserted city are already familiar with this situation and scene, but it brings incomparable shock to the newcomers.

The three Dosha people hiding in the oasis looked at the green lizard and the black-haired young man flying in the air in astonishment, thinking that they had hallucinations before they died.

"God!"

Thinking of the story spread in the eastern part of the desert, the mysterious man who brought rainwater to the city of Pulan, and the black-haired young man who was called a monster by the great witch Otiramus, the hearts of the three set off waves of turmoil.

They once wandered in the desert with people expelled by other tribes, relying on the experience of grazing and chasing prey, looking for food and water in the yellow sand.

The pancakes in the package had been eaten long ago, and the water bladder was already empty. The people around him fell down one by one, and would soon become food for scavengers and a pile of dead bones under the yellow sand.

I don't want to die, I don't want to die like this.

At first, they still prayed devoutly in the direction of the Temple of Otiramus. Day after day, they hoped that the great witch would give them guidance and lead them out of the predicament.

With good hopes, the reality often shows a cruel side.

The Temple of Otiramus and the Great Witch have only a glamorous appearance made of lies, prayers will not have any effect, and death is still coming.

For their faith, they lost their tribe, lost their honor as a warrior, and were about to lose their lives.

In front of them is the yellow sand, and the oasis is just a mirage. When they were on the verge of despair, a small group of triangle sheep saved their lives.Following the flock, they encountered the longhorn antelope again, and then found the oasis.Going all the way, no longer struggling to identify the direction, just thinking about living one more day.

The tolerance of animals is always higher than that of humans. Going without drinking water for a few days is nothing to triangular sheep and longhorn antelopes, and they can still migrate day and night.Probably because they could sense the danger of following behind, the speed of the flock accelerated, and several times the three of them fell down from sleepiness and exhaustion, and when they woke up, they almost lost the shadow of the flock.

In this way, with tenacious perseverance and survival instinct, they followed the flock to the deserted city deep in the desert, and met a grazing girl a few hundred meters away from the oasis.

After the girl left, the only man who had the energy left woke up the two companions, and climbed into the oasis with each other's support.In the oasis, the man told his companions the conversation he heard in a coma, and the three of them dared not appear in front of the people here easily again.

Herdsmen who are separated from the tribe will be helped, and those who have been expelled from the tribe have already been labeled as sinners.

The two companions complained about the man who leaked their identities, but the man smiled wryly. Can their identities be concealed without telling them?Raising his arm, the brand on his wrist cannot be erased until death.

The three of them were silent, and they stopped complaining to each other, and found a few edible plants to moisturize their dry lips.They didn't dare to get close to the water. Although the grass by the lake was dense, it was hard to guarantee that they would not be discovered.

"What should we do now?"

"When it gets dark, maybe we can find a way to get a robe and some food."

The idea discussed by the three of them was not much different from what Mia had expected, but they were not hostile to the people here, nor did they have any conspiracy, they just wanted to live.

After agreeing, the three found a hidden place and hid in spite of the possible snakes and reptiles. One was vigilant, and the other two rested.At this time, there was a terrible cry in the air, and the half-asleep and half-awake two immediately opened their eyes, only to find that the vigilant companion's expression had fallen into a sluggish expression.

The scene in front of them completely exceeded their imagination. Dragon eagles and raptors flying in the sky are not uncommon. Many people have seen the sitting beast of the Lord of Bithia.However, the black lizard flying in the air?

The three of them were unsure, and a thought popped up at the same time, is that really the black lizard?

When they saw He Ning on the back of the black lizard, their minds became more confused and they couldn't react at all.It wasn't until the fire illuminated their faces that the three came back to their senses.When they made a sound and forgot to hide, the knights surrounding the oasis followed the sand cat to find it.

Mia has her own ideas, and so do the knights.

They are better at attacking proactively than passively waiting.

"Bythians?"

Without the need for a rope, the three collapsed men were easily dragged out of the oasis.

In the camp, people looked at them with extremely unfriendly eyes, especially when the knight turned over the wrists of the three of them and saw the pattern imprinted on the wrists, the eyes that fell on them were full of disgust.

"The deportees," said a blacksmith with considerable status among the craftsmen. "They are sinners. They cannot be left here!"

The knights were silent, and He Ning in the air noticed the situation on the ground; he patted the back of the green lizard, and the green lizard let out a long roar, and swooped down from mid-air, the bonfire in the camp was torn by the wind, dancing wildly .

He Ning jumped off the back of the green lizard, and the captain of the knight clasped his right arm in front of his chest, "My lord, three suspicious intruders have been caught."

He Ning signaled the green lizard to stay where he was, and walked over alone.The knights and girls didn't care, most craftsmen were still very afraid of the green lizard, "Is it a robber?"

"Not sure." The knight captain said, "They are the sinners expelled by the tribe."

sinner?

He Ning looked at the three men lying on the ground, and they also looked up at He Ning, their expressions were full of awe, and they began to tremble after just one glance.The knights did not tremble like this even with their knives on their necks.

Touching his face, He Ning was puzzled, is he that scary?According to the aesthetics of normal people, he looks pretty good, right?

The knights were also puzzled. Miya, who was returning to the camp with the soup pot in her hand, had a flash in her eyes, as if she understood something, she passed the crowd and brought the soup pot to He Ning, "Master, it's time to drink the soup."

The corner of He Ning's mouth twitched, but he still couldn't avoid it?

The three men on the ground suddenly struggled and threw themselves at He Ning's feet, with a trembling and hoarse voice, "Oracle! Please keep us, we are willing to be your servants!"

He Ning was really taken aback, and the soup in his hand spilled a lot, and the fragrant taste was particularly attractive.He Ning began to feel bitter in his heart, God, what herbs did Miya add to the soup?

"Master, please hand over these three people to me." Miya crossed her arms and bowed to He Ning, "Miya will thoroughly figure out their identities and find the most appropriate way to deal with them."

The most appropriate method of disposal?He Ning looked down at the three men who were fanatics, and told him intuitively that handing these three men over to Miya would definitely bring him an extraordinary surprise.

After He Ning nodded, Miya took the three of them down, and also called the two knights and Najia away.What would she do, He Ning didn't ask, he believed in Miya, this girl's methods are not comparable to ordinary people.

The knights returned to their alert positions, and the craftsmen began to eat. He Ning held the soup pot and called the Green Lizard to go back to the temple. He didn't intend to drink the soup in the pot, but he couldn't waste it. What should we do with it?

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the green lizard, hooked the corner of his mouth, and raised the jar, "Brother, we have the same blessings and the same difficulties."

The green lizard froze and was about to fly when it spread its wings. He Ning took a step ahead of it, grabbed its hind legs, grasped its claws firmly, and narrowed its eyes. "Would you like to fly?"

The good friend who was threatened burst into tears, he didn't bring such a bullying lizard...

At this moment, a familiar roar came from a distance, the green lizard froze again, He Ning's expression also changed, he couldn't tell whether he was surprised or surprised, he put the jar on the ground, and climbed up the green lizard's back neatly , "Dude, fly!"

Green Lizard: "..."

When the Green Lizard lifted He Ning into the air, the knights and craftsmen in the camp also saw the team coming under the moonlight.

The scales of the black lizard were dyed with a layer of cold light. Moody, who was standing on the back of the black lizard, pulled off the cloth scarf around his face, and smiled into his blue eyes, looking at the green lizard sitting on the back. He Ning, "I'm back, my great witch."
