Lux's Farewell

Chapter 300 [0296]
The boat the child was driving was very shallow. After talking to Lux, he leaned over and stuck his whole body to the bottom of the boat, and disappeared into the dense oil silk on the water surface in the blink of an eye.

"It's amazing, it's a desert outside, but people here have boats!" Lacus walked back, and said to Karya in disbelief, "What is the material of that boat? It looks like a wooden board? But this There seems to be no trees in the oasis!"

"That's the fiberboard obtained after the leaves of the oil silk seed are stacked together, moistened with oil, and dried repeatedly." Karya obviously knows about this material, "This fiberboard is strong and tough after being formed, the only problem It’s more troublesome to manufacture.”

"I see." Lux nodded, "This child came to inform me by rowing, do they live on the island in the center of the oasis?"

"It's very possible." Kalya confirmed Lacus' speculation, "During the Shurima Empire, there was often a water well workshop at the water outlet of the dark canal, and the government agencies of the empire would work there—maybe the water well workshop in this oasis Some people maintain that it has not been destroyed by wind and sand, so it is quite normal for desert remnants to live in small settlements under such circumstances.”

"Looking at the size of this oasis, I'm afraid there are not many people in this small settlement." Lacus turned her head and glanced at the direction where the boat appeared and disappeared. There is no sign of artificial buildings at all. "Looking at the child's thin appearance, I'm afraid their lives are also quite difficult."

"As far as the survivors of the oasis are concerned, the lives of people here are pretty good." Carya couldn't help but sighed when he heard the words, "With Bakay's shelter, there is an oasis to survive, and there is endless oil silk, even supplies It’s not enough, the population can’t increase, but at least it can reproduce here for generations—wait, there seems to be something moving in the east!”

Lux and Ino came to this oasis from the northeast. When Lax went to the oasis to find water, Ino was watching Scarash gobbling up Hesai in the north.

And when Lux found the water source and was returning, at the east side of the oasis, a burst of smoke was rising into the sky!

"What is that? A sandstorm?" Lacus looked towards the direction Karya said, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "It doesn't look like it, the scale is too small..."

"Compared with sandstorms, I think this is more like sand robbers." Kalya's words made Lux's heart skip a beat, "Camel cavalry, the number is between 1000 and [-], which is about the same size."

"Wouldn't it be a large caravan?" Lux asked with the last chance, "If it's just the number of people, it's not enough to determine their identities, right?"

"The nearest large city here is Kenesh, and Kenesh is to the west of us." Carya ruthlessly snuffed out the last chance of luck, "And between Kenesh and Belgun, There are no large-scale caravan activities."

"Are they coming for the oasis?"

"Maybe." Kalya sighed, "Of course, it's more likely that they came for the people in the oasis."

"Those remnants of the desert?"

"Yes."

........................

Lux and Karya spotted billowing smoke on the ground.

And underground, Sefika also "heard" the tremor of the desert.

As the guardian of the Yousi Oasis, Sefika is currently in a horizontal culvert deep underground in the Yousi Oasis. Even if the direct distance from here to the surface of the desert is more than a hundred yards, as long as it is pasted on the wall of the culvert, , Sefika can always clearly perceive everything that happens on the ground.

This is the power given to him by a magical stone.

As long as he holds this stone tightly, Bakai can hear the sound of the earth, even if it is a hundred meters away from the ground, it is still very clear.

Of course, such a convenient capability doesn't come for free.

Once this ability is used excessively, the user will fall into petrification, and eventually become a stone statue. In fact-Sefika's father, grandfather, great-grandfather... from generation to generation, almost everyone eventually turned into a stone statue The cold stone sculptures were placed in the corner of the dark ditch.

There is no doubt that Sefika is an out-and-out Bakay.

It's just that he himself doesn't even know what Bakay is.

Not only Sefika does not know, but in this closed desert oasis, each generation of Bakay who eventually turned into a stone statue does not know that he is Bakay.

As the descendants of the ancestors who came here to avoid disaster during the Darkin War, although they are Shurima people with good roots, they have long forgotten a lot in the long history of being isolated from the outside world.

For Sefika, after his father became a stone sculpture, it was his mission from birth to pick up the stone and protect the people living in this oasis; It is the common fate of one's own life that one's own power will eventually turn into a stone sculpture one day.

The tribesmen living in the oasis will be responsible for their living needs, and will respectfully call Sefika Bonu; Sefika will accept this offering and use this power to protect the safety of the tribe.

This is the brutal survival of the Shurima people in the desert after the inheritance of civilization was cut off.

Unlike Karya, who could only judge the approximate size of the team, Sefika had already guessed the identity of the team after sensing the movement on the ground—they were a sand bandit group nearby.

Sefika didn't know that the Noxians occupied Belgun, nor did he know that Belgun had an army that was unwilling to join the Noxians and chose to leave the city and develop on its own, eventually becoming the Sand Bandit.

All he knew was that in the past few years, there was always a camel caravan moving frequently near the Yousi Oasis, and the scale of the activities was getting bigger and bigger.

This team has come to Yousi Oasis several times, and wants to let Sefika and the desert remnants in Yousi Oasis join them. They say "glory and persistence" and other words that Sefika can't understand at all. The guy in the lead, after each long speech, Sefika can understand only the part of "join us and give us food".

From Sefika's point of view, unless he is stupid, he will take the initiative to join them-isn't it good to feed one more child with extra food?Why give it to them?

For Shurima?
After confirming that it was indeed these guys, Sefika got up without hesitation, found the upward shaft, and began to climb up swiftly—he needed to notify everyone to be careful.

Although judging from past performances, this sand bandit group is different from other sand bandit bandits who started looting at the slightest disagreement, but the necessary precautions still cannot be relaxed!

　Carya's Small Classroom Remains:

　　The so-called remnants do not refer to the Shurima people who survived the collapse of the Shurima Empire, but the people who have closed themselves for various reasons, no longer communicate with the outside world, and gradually become closed and ignorant.

　　This is true for desert survivors, oasis survivors, and relic survivors.

　　Big success!good night~
