through the dark road

Chapter 181: Morning Exercise
"I admit that many of us, including me, deserve to die. But we all want to live." Aegis had no expression on his face, as if he didn't care how others would think of him.

Mo Bei didn't answer. He didn't fully understand the past of people like Aegis, so naturally he wouldn't say anything stupid about the past and let him go.

"I'm very satisfied with my life now, so I don't want to leave here anymore. And even if I meet the guys from before, I guess they'll just be skinned and hung up to dry."

"Can you find them?" Mo Bei asked tentatively, he hadn't forgotten the bandits he encountered while accompanying the caravan.

Aigis's one-eyed keenly caught the chill in Mo Bei's eyes, and finally there was a change on his face, and the corner of his mouth twitched:

"What do I want them to do, just let those idiots keep company with the bugs."

Seeing that Mo Bei's gaze turned suspicious, realizing that he probably didn't know much, Aigis cleared his throat in a low voice, and continued:
"Do you know why there are so many sand bandits in this desert? Because the ancestors of most of them were war refugees. After the destruction of the Kingdom of Aranok, they temporarily settled down in the oasis in the north , and looking for a new place to live. But at that time, all city-states and tribes were strongly exclusive, and they could not go anywhere. This desert is like a huge cage. It is difficult to survive, but it is impossible to go. go out."

"Not only that, the original bandits continued to plunder them. Sometimes people are no different from monsters at all. So if you want to survive in that environment, you must become a monster. Weak people, bone marrow It's all going to be sucked dry... that's not a metaphor..."

Mo Bei didn't quite understand why Aigis said these things, but for the sake of the Stone of Jordan, he continued to listen patiently.

"After all, they are all natives of this desert, and they are gradually adapting to that kind of life. Just like the city-states or tribes that rejected them at the beginning, they do not accept any outsiders, and even take the initiative to attack and start looting and killing other outsiders .But even if they get vicious, they don't change as fast as the bugs in the oasis. Demonized bugs and hell creatures make them once again losers."

"In order to survive, many people once again tried to seek refuge in Lugaoin City, which is already quite large. Although the process was not that easy and took a long time, many people were accepted in the end."

Mo Bei nodded in response. He had heard about this history from Kane.interrupted and asked:
"Then everyone else joined the wizarding society?"

"It's not entirely true. Only a small number of people joined the wizarding society. In fact, just like in the city of Lugaoin, there are many ordinary people among them, and those people have no right to choose. Today's desert is very important to them. It is difficult to move an inch, they can only follow the group until one day they die in the attack of monsters."

"Where are they? How many people are there?" Mo Bei didn't think he had the ability to save them or anything like that, so he just asked casually.

Aegis shook his head, expressing that he didn't know.

"Then why are the rest unwilling to return?"

"Perhaps for them, the hatred accumulated by generations is more difficult to give up than their lives. A bunch of idiots..." Aegis smiled, but his voice was a little hoarse.

At this time, several people walked into the hotel under the moonlight.

Mo Bei turned his head to look, and they all looked like they had returned from training. They looked embarrassed, but they all looked very excited, as if they had achieved a good harvest.

"Cough. It seems that I have to go to work, so I won't waste your time any longer. Come and sit here when you have time." Aegis coughed lightly, stood up and said something, then turned and entered the back hall .

Mo Bei and Akali looked at each other with weird expressions. This Aigis really made people feel indescribable.

Walking out of Aigis's hotel, braziers had already been lit on both sides of the street, and before they knew it, the two had been out all afternoon.

"Why do you think he said those things?" Akali asked.

"Looking at it like that, it's probably an old gay friend who parted ways with him, and I'm so choked up in my heart, I can't vomit." Mo Bei shrugged and said.

"Friends?" Akali wondered.

"It's a man who has a very good relationship, like... like Gabino and Dean."

"Then you and them are also gay friends, as well as Ned and Alvin. The relationship between you is very good." Akali nodded seriously.

"Yes. Yes... Let's, let's go back..." Mo Bei almost wanted to slap himself, and then looked at the row of braziers extending to the end of his sight, remembering that if he went back from here, he would have to cross the entire city, It feels even more painful.

"It would be great if there was a teleportation station that could teleport to the other side of the city..."

"Lu Gaoyin City is really big, we can walk faster, it shouldn't take long."

There was a sound of wheels rolling over the cracks in the road, and then an animal-drawn cart slowly approached from behind the two of them.

"Do you take a car? There are shock absorbers!" The coachman asked the two of them with his head in a high-spirited tone.

Mo Bei made his tone amused, and added a shock absorber to make you feel awkward. If you want to put on two alpacas, do you still think you have a dual-jet engine?
When the two came, they used to walk all the way. Akali hadn't tried it yet, but she found it novel, and looked at Mo Bei expectantly.Seeing Mo Bei nodding, he jumped into the car excitedly and sat down, then happily patted the seat next to him, signaling Mo Bei to get on the car.

Mo Bei, who had never seen her like this before, was a little lost for a while.

Following the slight shaking of the car, Akali covered her mouth with the back of her hand, and yawned quietly, as if she hadn't fully recovered, she relaxed at this moment, and her tiredness began to surge again.

When Mo Bei saw this, he stopped talking and listened to the hooves of the beasts kicking, quietly enjoying the peace in front of him.

Recalling the time when I was alone, I feel very fulfilled and at ease now.

When he first came to this world and was in the wilderness, he still felt extremely resentful, but unconsciously, he has integrated into this world, has a trustworthy partner, and has more concerns.

He even worried that all this was just a dream, and when he woke up, everything would be empty. . . .

The car body was bumped, and his shoulders suddenly sank, interrupting his fugue, but it was Akali who fell asleep leaning on his shoulders.

Mo Bei almost lost his expression management. He thought it was a long road before, but now he just hopes that there will be no end.
-
The next day, the sun rose and was dispelling the coolness left by the night wind.

In the courtyard, the six people were divided into three groups to practice. They were already sweating, which showed that the training intensity was not weak.

Alvin's bear-man form was covered in flames, and he tried his best to judge Perona's teleportation point.Despite roaring again and again, he still didn't even get the corner of Perona's clothes once.

That scene made Mo Bei feel like Anne was training Tibbers, and it was completely messed up by "League of Legends".

This kind of training is also targeted. For Druids without displacement skills, they cannot accurately predict the location of the mage and stun the opponent with a hammer, so they are always in a passive position.

It is indeed a challenge for Erwin to defeat Perona, the super god of positioning, without using the poisonous flower vine's stumbling foot and the big white dog's siege tactics.Fortunately, he was equipped with the fire-resistant dark gold tower shield given by Mo Bei, and Perona, who didn't have the leaf staff, couldn't help him.

Ned had already put on his new battle armor flamboyantly, holding a long stick of the Sea Serpent King, and fought back and forth with Mo Bei.

It was only then that Mo Bei saw his growth during this period of time. He could bring out various ice-type skills while dancing the long stick, and combined with teleportation, he was really elusive.

At this time, Ned's stick stabbed straight at Mo Bei, and the green sea snake stick was shrouded in frost the moment it was pierced, and turned into an ice spear. When it hit Mo Bei's shield, another violent stamina erupted out.

Icicles.

Mo Beiru was bombarded, but what exploded from the shield was not the artillery fire, but the extremely cold frost.

If it's level [-], a long stick sweep can explode the frozen ball behind your shield, it's hard to defend against.

Facing Mo Bei who was defending with all his strength, Ned played more and more freely, and used all kinds of tricks of his own.

Just as a ring of ice exploded under his feet with a chopping stick, he felt a chilling frost energy hit his body, and his body froze suddenly.

It's Holy Freeze!Ned knew that this was the harbinger of Mo Bei's counterattack, so he immediately teleported away.

However, Mo Bei charged in front of him the moment his figure appeared, and he was slapped against the wall by a shield before he could make any reaction.

This made Ned and Alvin, who was being bombarded by fireballs, dumbfounded for a while.

Mo Bei chuckled, this is exactly the new result of his sensory training.

As long as it is within the range of his expanded aura, the energy fluctuations during teleportation are the same as flying insects falling on a spider web, and cannot escape his perception.

He was quite proud of being able to use the halo to such an extent.

On the other side of the courtyard, Akali kept retreating under Milor's nimble and fast attack with the spear in his hand. Finally, when Milor's offensive fell back, he brazenly cut into the blind spot of the attack and narrowly won a move.

But she didn't show joy at all. According to her judgment, she might not be able to accept Milo's real killing move.

She also saw the scene where Mo Bei easily suppressed Ned from the corner of her eye, and felt the gap between the two teams more intuitively, no wonder the progress of the experience was so fast.

However, she was more determined to fight. After adjusting her breathing, she fought with her sword and shield and challenged Mo Bei.

Mo Bei gladly accepted the challenge, and with the help of the Hammer of Blessing, which integrated offense and defense from far and near, he surrendered Akali's long sword in just over ten rounds.

Except for Perona, everyone was surprised.

Ned and Alvin didn't expect their boss to lose so easily. When they were in Rogge's camp, Akali and Mo Bei could still fight for a long time. How could they be dumped after a few months? Driven so far.

And Miloer was surprised that Mo Bei didn't intend to release water at all, and he really did it. .

Mo Bei knew in his heart that Akali definitely belonged to the type of person who is strong when encountering the strong. With her comprehension ability, this little skill can be replicated in minutes.
