Chapter 278 Persuasion
No return to the desert, the pearl oasis.

Grand Duke Langston, with his belly full, was leisurely fishing by the lake.

"What the hell is this weather, why is it stuffy and hot?" He muttered, thinking of his hometown's palace.

"I shouldn't have gone south in the first place, how can there be people living in this ghost place..."

Outside the Pearl Lake, several staff members with stern faces hurried over.

The guards quickly stood up and held them back.

The team leader lowered his voice: "Please stay a while, Lord Duke is fishing, and no one is allowed to disturb you."

……

The staff members were sullen and continued to charge towards the sword without seeing it.

The guards naturally recognized them, they couldn't help being taken aback, and had to take a few steps back.

"Masters of the staff," the little chief guard raised his voice, "I will be on guard here under the order of the Duke. If you continue to charge wantonly, it will be regarded as an attack on the Duke. Don't blame us for being rude."

Several people stopped angrily.

One of them stood on tiptoe and raised his voice and shouted: "Your Excellency, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. We really need to leave as soon as possible. If we don't leave, it will be too late."

"You..." The guards looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a while.

Seeing this, another person also yelled loudly, "Master Duke, please turn your head and look north. It's a super sandstorm."

"In three or four days it'll be blowing up to the oasis."

"Once the wind and sand blow over, it will be a devastating blow. If we don't leave early, it will be a question of whether the brothers will survive or not."

Dust storm?
The Principality of Langston is located in the north of the Desert of No Return.

Sandstorms generally blow southward, so they never happened in the territory.But the common people have seen pigs running even if they have never eaten pork, and the guards have naturally heard of the horror of sandstorms.

They were skeptical, and couldn't help but look up, and all of them suddenly changed their expressions.

It was noon, and the sun was shining brightly in the south.

The northern sky has turned gray and gloomy at some point, as if a storm is coming.And that lead ash is rushing towards the south at a visible speed.

Hu~hu~
The wind seems to be picking up again.

The surrounding trees and shrubs began to rattle.The sand didn't know whether it fell from the trees or was blown up by the wind, which made everyone's faces ache.

The guards panicked.The team leader hesitated for a while, and hurried to the lake.

"What's the noise, what's the noise!" Grand Duke Langston couldn't sit still any longer, and angrily threw the fishing rod into the water, "You scared all the fish away."

He walked gloomyly in front of several staff members, "What the hell is going on? There's a lot of fuss."

"Master Duke, you have finally come out." Several people wept with joy.

If Grand Duke Langston didn't come out again, they all decided to leave on their own.

It's just that the surrounding desert is full of wild beasts, and there is no courage.

"Leave, leave! Where can we go if we leave here?" Langston scolded, "What on earth is Andre doing to eat? Has the information on the grassland come back?"

The staff had a headache: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency Andre has been looking for it very hard. But the grassland is too big, and he hasn't found the group of mysterious people for a while."

"However, people in Xiliang live by grazing animals, and grazing requires good grassland. Therefore, those who can live near the desert of Bugui are obviously not large tribes. You don't have to worry about your safety at all."

Duke Langston was noncommittal, and he looked up at the northern sky.

"Isn't this sandstorm just a sandstorm, is it really that scary?"

Several staff members looked constipated.

The Grand Duke has lived in the luxurious Duke's Mansion or other mansions for many years, and has almost never taken over ordinary people, so he knows that the world is difficult and the wind and sand are terrible.

They quickly pulled out Barry Merchant behind him.

"Your Excellency, this is the head of a large camel caravan in Bari. His caravan travels between Beixiong, Xiliang and Yunchui all the year round, and he is most aware of the severe wind and sand."

"Why don't you let him talk?"

"Barry camel caravan," Duke Langston looked reservedly at the nodding and bowed Barry. "The lord has met the old merchant. He is your father, how is it now?"

"Thank you, Duke, for your concern!" Barry said respectfully, "Father is getting old, and it's better to live at home now. The caravan has been handed over to the younger one earlier."

Grand Duke Langston nodded, "When you return to the Principality, remember to ask your father to chat with me at the Duke's Mansion."

Of course, remember to bring tax money with you.

"Yes yes yes." Barry tried his best to squeeze out a smile, trying to bring the topic back.

"My lord, the younger one is forty-three this year. He has been doing business with his grandfather and father since he was 15 years old. The caravan has almost traveled all over this vast desert of no return..."

"Really?" Grand Duke Langston's eyes lit up, "I heard that you can sometimes see God's heaven in the Desert of No Return. Have you ever seen it?"

Barry and several staff members looked at each other, almost vomiting blood.

Aren't we talking about sandstorms now?

Why did it get involved in the mirage of emptiness and indistinctness?

"Your Excellency," Barry was suddenly disappointed.

He finally understood why the wealthy Duke of Langston would be reduced to the current state of ruin.

Lowering his gloomy eyes, he said: "Those legends are just rumors spread by the world, they are not true."

But the sandstorm in the north is definitely true.

With the help of several staff members, Barry spent a long time finally telling the horror of the sandstorm.

"It's so scary?" Duke Langston's fat face finally became more serious.

"Yes. It's that terrible." Several staff members almost burst into tears, "My lord, the wind and sand is certainly terrible, but there are other things more terrible than it."

Oh?
"What is that?" Grand Duke Langston couldn't help stretching his neck.

Looking at it, if you hand over the stool and melon seeds, he will probably sit down and prepare to eat melons and listen to stories.

When the staff saw it, they were even more disheartened.

That's it.

As the saying goes, treat people with soft hands and eat others with short mouths, so let's persuade them one last time.

cough!
They coughed.

"When the wind and sand come, not only us humans, but also other animals have to find a place to hide. But at the same time, they also need to drink water and eat."

"So at that time, animals that eat meat or eat grass will all retreat to the oasis. Your Excellency, what do you think will happen?"

"It's easier for us to hunt." Grand Duke Langston replied subconsciously.

cough cough cough.

Several staff members almost lost their breath, "Your Excellency is right."

They looked at each other helplessly, "We can hunt. But think about it, my lord, the animals will hunt and kill us when they are hungry."

In the past, when the weather was sunny, many animals would choose to leave the oasis to look for food nearby because they were afraid of humans.

Even so, animal wounding incidents often occur.

Although Grand Duke Langston brought a lot of medicinal materials on this trip, in order to treat various poisonous bites and bites, he almost used up all the antidotes.

Now all the animals are forced to get together.

When the wind and sand are all over the sky and everyone can't see anything, it's hard to say who hunts whom.

Grand Duke Langston nodded, and he waved his hand nonchalantly.

"It's okay, didn't we bring a lot of slaves."

At that time, let the slaves stay outside, and those meat-eating beasts such as sand wolves come over, and there will definitely be enough for them to eat.

"The sun is so bright now, it's too tiring to hurry. You have to wait."

Several staff members and Barry were stunned, unable to speak for a moment.
