Spellcasting Heavens

People who have never experienced being on the edge of death will never know how wonderful that feeling is. It is as if the perception of spirit and will is infinitely magnified, and all pain leaves oneself, leaving only an unprecedented ethereal state.

If one cannot cross the boundary between life and death and enter another world, the world that belongs exclusively to the dead, this person will never be troubled by injuries.

But if he survives it, he will soon wake up and once again experience the feeling of life being worse than death.

It's obvious that Leifni is at this stage right now.

Her strong sense of survival allowed her to survive the most dangerous day. When evening fell and the surrounding environment began to decrease rapidly, she finally slowly opened her eyes and found herself being carried by a magical creature made entirely of gravel.

The boy who was regarded as the target was slowly moving forward against the golden sunset. Especially the contrast between his short stature and the huge shadow on the ground was the most realistic portrayal of reality.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have been able to believe that this small body actually contained such amazing magical power.

Ah! You're awake!

Luke obviously noticed something, stopped and turned around to stare at the other party's pale face.

Thank you... thank you, thank you for saving my life. Laifni's voice revealed endless weakness and exhaustion.

After all, she had lost so much blood not long ago, and her ability to wake up so quickly was all due to her innate magical talent. Otherwise, if she had been an ordinary raider, she would have died of heat in the terrifying high temperature at noon. .

You're welcome, I saved you because I thought you were useful. If you fail to live up to my expectations, then I guarantee that you will be left waiting to die in the desert the next second. Luke's tone was full of rejection. Indifference thousands of miles away.

What do you need me to do? Leifni tried her best to resist the constant fatigue.

She knew very well that this was not just a mere verbal threat, but a terrorist threat that could be supplemented with action at any time.

In her current state, let alone surviving in a dangerous desert, even if she stayed alone for an hour or two, she might be eaten by a beast or monster that smelled of blood.

Trust is never established from the beginning.

She needs time,

You need to be with her day and night and use your unique feminine tenderness and thoughtfulness to melt this ice.

It's very simple! Since you are a merchant's woman and often travel with caravans, you must be very aware of the surrounding terrain and the roads leading to various towns, right?

Luke didn't try to hide anything, and openly stated what he planned to get from the other party.

That's right!

It is a living map and guide.

Since he had been living in an isolated tribal settlement before, even if the warriors went out to look for drinking water and necessary living supplies, they usually would not go near densely populated towns, so he never had a clear understanding of the world. .

For example, how big is it? Is the desert where I am located a huge island, an isolated continent, or the only continent in the world?

How many people and cities are there in this desolate land that looks like the end of the world?

Did they form a state after the invaders disappeared, or were they a state-like political grouping?

According to the descriptions of the tribal elders, since the inexplicable departure of the invaders, the entire world has been changing rapidly. Many former resistance organizations have come to the forefront and begun to compete for resources, population and territory.

Intelligent life can never get rid of its selfish nature. As long as self-awareness exists, the struggle between ideology and interests will never stop.

But these have nothing to do with Luke. He just wants to understand the surrounding terrain, especially relatively densely populated towns.

Given Malvina's character, she would definitely choose the nearest town as her destination.

Of course! I know the locations of all towns, even those unknown villages that can supply fresh water. Leifni nodded without thinking.

To be honest, she felt relieved when she heard this request.

Because this means that in the eyes of the other party, she is a useful person, and being useful means that she will not be easily abandoned. At least until she recovers from her injuries, it is unlikely that she will become a beast or a monster.

Very good! Now tell me right away, which direction can I go in so that I can reach the town in the shortest time? Luke asked straightforwardly.

Laifni raised her head and stared at the stars that had begun to show faint light in the sky, seeming to confirm the direction and position.

After a few minutes, she pointed to a place slightly to the left and said, If you keep walking in this direction, you can reach Bone City in about twenty days.

Bone City? Luke frowned subconsciously.

Because when he was stationed in the tribe, he had never heard this term mentioned by the elders or warriors who often went out.

Obviously, either it is too far away and is not within the scope of the tribe's concern, or it is so dangerous that no one is willing to get close easily.

Yes, Bone City. As its name suggests, it is an ancient city built entirely from the bones of giant beasts. It is said to date back before the arrival of the invaders. There, there is a huge temple of dead bones dedicated to the great hunter God, and those bones were the best gifts given to the gods by the fanatical believers back then. Laifni hurriedly told everything she knew.

She seems to be very aware of the importance of first impressions, and tries to convey geographical and historical knowledge as much as possible, rather than being like those superficial and stupid women who think that they can get men to do anything for them just by spreading their legs.

Sounds interesting! Let's go to Bone City and have a look.

Luke did not tell the other party his true purpose of going to Bone City. After muttering something under his breath, he found a relatively sheltered place and prepared to eat some dried meat and dry food for the night.

Since most of the land has become desertified, the crops that can be grown in this world are extremely rare. Most of them are special plants that can only grow underground.

As for the texture and taste...

It can only be said that it is barely swallowable and does not have much nutrition. The most important thing is that it can supplement a small amount of nutrients and vitamins necessary for the body, otherwise no one will be willing to eat this thing.

Similarly, the taste of the jerky is not much better, and it feels like you are suffering even if you don't take a bite.

But no matter what, compared to those guys who didn't even have food, Luke was lucky.

At least when he was growing up, he neither went hungry nor died of thirst due to lack of water.
