Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 133 The Sarns Vagabond

Early the next morning, Li Lin and Kassadin got up early and had breakfast.

When they arrived at the confluence, Sivir, Cassiopeia and their subordinates were already ready to go.

The carnival last night didn't last too long. Those who survive in the desert and have enough experience will not expend too much energy before the trip, so that they will not be in a good state the next day.

These are all fatal things.

Li Lin greeted Sivir, and then moved his gaze to Cassiopeia who had communicated with him for a long time last night.

However, she just smiled and greeted Li Lin, and did not deliberately approach him as before.

In fact, last night, when Li Lin pretended to be a member of the Black Rose, and was under "Pale Lady" LeBlanc, Cassiopeia didn't have much doubt.

"The Black Rose will bloom again" is the slogan of the secret association of the Black Rose, and no outsider who has nothing to do with it will know.

As long as it is said, the members can determine each other's identity... it's only preliminary.

If you want to be completely sure that the other party is a member of the Black Rose Society, you need a series of proofs.

For example, some connectors who perform secret missions will have more special secret words, and some will have tattoos exclusive to the black rose pattern, and even some high-level people can use special magic items to confirm.

But Li Lin is very familiar with Cassiopeia. This young girl who has just grown up knows all about Black Rose from her mother.

Although her later achievements allowed her to enter the Shurima group of the association, her knowledge of the black rose was only on the surface after all, and she had never even seen the true face of the "Pale Lady".

And when Li Lin said the slogan last night, he used a few Noxian words he learned when he was idle in Piltover, coupled with his extraordinary acting skills and the communication skills he learned from dealing with the rich and powerful in Piltover .

Even if he couldn't guarantee that Cassiopeia, a cunning and wise "venomous snake", would completely trust him, at least he would be confident in trusting him [-]% to [-]%.

Of course, the premise of all this is only before the girl contacts her mother, or other members and superiors of the Black Rose Society.

After Kassadin checked the supplies carried by Scarash again, Li Lin and he climbed onto their backs respectively, holding their horns.

After everyone was ready, the group left from the southeast gate of Zurita under the curious onlookers of the town residents, and entered the vast sand sea—the Dasai Desert.

In Shurima, "Sai" means a plain of sand and gravel, and generally refers to a desert area.

The Great Sai Desert is the largest desert north of the Sun City, the ruins of the imperial capital of Shurima today.

It takes the dry riverbed of the River of Life in the center of the Shurima continent as the dividing line, spanning east and west.

It is connected to the Targon Mountains on the left, and the tropical rainforest in the north of Ixtar to the right, which occupies almost half of the entire Shurima continent.

However, Dasai is not as dangerous as Faragesai, which is west of the City of the Sun. That place is also called "Endless Plain" by the locals, and it is a restricted area of ​​life with a radius of hundreds of miles.

Although there is an extreme lack of water sources in the Great Fortress, and there are no towns to rest and resupply, a considerable number of nomads wander here.

With any luck, an inexperienced traveler might be rescued by some kind herders before he dies.

If you are unlucky, in addition to dying of thirst in the desert, the bones will become food for the dog-sized Milos beetle swarm or other wild animals, and you will also encounter ruthless bandits, who will be exploited and left in place to die or be killed. kill.

In a very small number of cases, those robbers who lack food will take these unlucky ones as spare rations...

Zurita is at least a month away from the ruins of the Sun City in the middle of Shurima.

In the past few days, every noon or night break, the big guys either hid in the shade, or in the leeward position of a large sand dune, laughing, chatting and spanking.

As the expedition team penetrated into the uninhabited area in the middle of the Dasai Desert, the daily maximum temperature can approach 50 degrees, and the minimum temperature can approach 0 degrees.

Basically everyone lost their initial activity, and the atmosphere in the team became dull.

Even Li Lin who wears power armor is the same.

In the extreme weather during the day, when an egg could be boiled in the sand, even if he turned on the cooling function of the power armor to the maximum power, he could still feel the heat and boredom.

When the time came to the 13th day, the expedition team encountered a nomad who coexisted with two Doman giants.

These very slow-moving behemoths are tens of meters high, have huge and thick chitin carapaces to protect themselves, and can walk in arid and harsh environments for a long time.

Due to the unique advantages of the many giant beasts, some nomads settled on these big guys to achieve "cooperation" and live together.

Riders of the Doman giants use hook claws to traverse the intricate network of knots, cleaning the bodies of these giant beasts to repel mosquitoes.

The Duoman monster will use its special senses to find the hidden fresh water resources in the desert.

The expedition bought supplementary water resources and dry food from this group of nomads with a population of more than 100, and escaped a sandstorm with the Doman monster.

On the 15th day, the nomads drove the Doman monsters to continue westward, and the expedition continued southward under the leadership of Sivir.

Time flies, and another week has passed.

The scorching sun hangs high in the sky, scorching the earth with its dazzling light, making everyone feel like they are in an oven.

Under the guidance of Duoman Rider, they found a hidden water source closest to the ruins of the City of the Sun.

Sivir sent a few men to watch around, and asked the rest to finish drinking water.

Then it was time for the animals to drink.

Li Lin handed his Scarash to Kassadin, and then walked towards Sivir who was washing his face with his head bowed.

Sensing the sound of footsteps approaching her, Sivir wiped her face and raised her eyes.

Seeing the appearance of the visitor clearly, a smile appeared on her face, "Are you feeling okay these days?"

"In such a harsh environment, there is nothing good or bad about it."

As he spoke, Li Lin controlled the Power Armor to unfold his upper body, took out a wooden ladle from his carry-on bag, scooped up clean water and poured it on his gray hair.

He let the cool water slide down his cheeks into his collar, washing away the dry and sore skin caused by staying in the desert for a long time.

The last time I experienced this feeling of cool water sliding over my skin was in Zurita's hotel.

Li Lin raised his head slightly and took a deep breath of the moist and cool air in this oasis.

It feels like a world away...

"You really exceeded my expectations, Li Lin." Sivir said in a teasing tone, "I thought that a nobleman like you from a big city would go back crying halfway through the journey. .”

Li Lin could tell it was a joke, shook his head helplessly, and said with a smile, "If I didn't have this power armor, I might really be like what you said."

He scooped up another ladle of water and poured it on his head, then turned his head and looked at Sivir, "We're still about a week away from the City of the Sun, right?"

Sivir looked at the cloudless sky, "If nothing unexpected happens..."

However, before she could finish her sentence, she saw dust and dust rising from the skyline in the far east, as if something was approaching.

Sivir, who hastily removed the Chalikar on his back, frowned slightly, squinting and looking into the distance.

"Look at the momentum of this dust, it doesn't look like a sandstorm or any other wild carnivorous creatures..."

Then all that's left is...

Suddenly, Sivir's face changed suddenly, and he immediately shouted to remind everyone: "It's a bandit! Everyone, hurry up and protect Miss Du Kecao... Bring the camel and Scarash over there!"

robber?

Li Lin manipulated the power armor to fit his body again, and said in a low voice, "Didn't the group of giant beast herdsmen say that there is no threat of robbers in this area?"

Sivir commanded his men to surround Cassiopeia and the Noxus guards protecting her, and then beckoned the people who were drinking camels in the distance and Kassadin to drive the camels and Scarash to come here.

After a while, she took the time to answer Li Lin's question: "In the desert, as long as there is a water source, anything can happen... They probably found this place too."

With the slightest tremor of the earth, the messy horseshoes quickly approached from a distance.

When the mercenaries and Noxus guards were all ready for battle, Sivir held his breath and carefully discerned the sounds in the air.

"There are more than 30 horses in total... Generally, the bandit group that came out to rob would not have so many people."

Sivir suddenly opened his emerald green eyes, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.

"This is Sarns nomad!"
