You call this a shield?

"I do not need."

Stike stamped his hoof. "I repeat, these are nails."

"Doesn't that mean that Necromancers need to trim their hooves regularly?"

Sheld couldn't help asking, after all, he had seen some videos on a certain barrage website in his previous life, for donkeys, horses and hoof repairers, using the knife to scrape layer by layer, it was quite relaxing to watch.

Stike glanced at Sheld: "I'll grind it out on my own, do you want to see it?"

"Then I don't particularly want to see..."

Saying that I want to watch it at this time always feels like admitting that I am some kind of pervert with special hobbies.

……

Three days and two nights.

Trekking in the desert is much more difficult than in Westfall.

It is mainly reflected in the more monotonous scenery than the West Wilderness, the hot and dry climate, and the scorching sun.

In this kind of weather, everyone doesn't want to talk much at all, they just feel bored.Everyone wears their cloaks and hats tightly to avoid direct sunlight.

If it wasn't for Sheld's unlimited supply of "Sprite (Intellectual Potion)", even Ix would make water with water elements and chill it, it would be even more difficult.

"Those who dare to come here to take risks are all warriors..."

Sheld admired those adventure groups who came here to find the legendary kingdom.

Needless to say, such brave men are by no means a minority in the Western Continent.

It's a pity that they all became big injustices in the end.

Just like just now, they saw one of the seeds of injustice - two bones not far apart, and an empty backpack. I don't know how they died. Sheld didn't bother with the lack of supplies or being attacked by something. Throw investigations to these corpses.

"Think of something good, for example, at night, it won't be hot here."

"So why is it like this? It's so hot during the day and so cold at night, this damn place..."

Ikes obviously has no experience in the desert. At first, she thought that such an extremely hot place would never cool down, but reality gave her a slap in the face.

She didn't expect that the temperature in the Ampken Great Desert at night was completely different. She just felt that this place with two layers of ice and fire was terrible.

"I don't know, it's not mentioned in the book."

Stike rarely said he didn't know.

Sheld was not surprised. After all, apart from some sages looking for the truth, or alchemists suddenly having some ideas, there are very few people in the other world who have nothing to do to study the details of life.

Everyone is thinking about how to fill their stomachs and make a fortune.

The nobles also have some guys who like whimsical ideas, but after all, these people are not widely accepted by the noble class, and most of them will not live well after being excluded.

So what is produced is not widely spread.

Without the strength of a professional, there will be no big job after all.

"The reason for the sand is that the specific heat of the sand is smaller than that of the air. When the ground absorbs the heat of the sun during the day, the temperature of the sand will be higher than that of the air near the ground, and the heat will be transferred from the sand to the air."

"At the same time, due to the relatively small specific heat of the sand, the heat absorbed by the sand can heat up rapidly, so that the air near the ground also heats up rapidly, and the air convection makes the air in the desert area heat up rapidly. At night, the ground radiates heat to the air, and the air convects , the sand exchanges heat with the surrounding cold air, and then transfers the temperature from the sand to the air.”

"So, the desert heats up quickly and is very hot during the day, and cools quickly and is very cold at night."

This is one of the rare "science popularization" that Sheld can give a fairly complete answer. If there are too many, it will not be possible. This is because I checked it out because of my troubles when I was a child, so I am more impressed.

"Specific... specific heat? Radiation?"

Ikes heard a rough idea, but not the whole thing. She only knew that Sheld had said the principle, which was related to sand, and it sounded very powerful.

Stike didn't understand much either, and she hadn't heard some vocabulary.

"Is this what your teachers taught?"

"That's not true, maybe my teacher taught it, but I almost forgot." Shield scratched his head through the hood: "I'm ashamed to say, I'm not a person who likes to study and read. Studying there for seven or eight hours is simply fatal."

"The reason why I know is mainly because we have books called 'Encyclopedia', 'One Hundred Thousand Whys', and a thing called 'Internet' where most knowledge can be found... A small number of secrets, there is basically no knowledge that cannot be found.”

"Is it for sale?"

Sheld could clearly feel that the light in Sticker's eyes became brighter.

The kind of book Sheld described was too appealing to her.

"It's available for sale in our place, but I'm afraid it's hard to get it..."

In another world.

Although Stike didn't know why it was so difficult to get it, but she knew that Sheld was not lying at this time, so she could only sigh regretfully: "It's a pity, if only you could bring out two copies."

Time travel with an encyclopedia?

Sheld's eyelids twitched slightly, depending on Almi's mood, it would be a lot of fun to use this as his golden finger.

"Hey, look there, is there an oasis there?"

Neveu suddenly waved at Sheld and the others.

"Oasis? Where?"

Shield hurried forward: "Didn't you see a mirage?"

"What is a mirage?"

"...It is an illusion that will appear in the desert..."

Sheld roughly knows what a mirage is, but you have to ask him to explain the specific principles. Sorry, he can't organize the language for a while, so he can only explain it in a defined way.

After all, knowledge is lacking. If I knew this, I should read more books and newspapers, eat less snacks and sleep less.

"I know this kind of story. Grandma Katia told me this kind of story before. There will be illusions in the desert to deceive travelers. This is a god's prank!"

Dalt immediately said, "I'll let Shor take a look. The animals shouldn't be affected."

God's prank?Sheld didn't expect the elders of the Dart tribe to explain this phenomenon in this way, but considering that Katia is a shaman, it seems reasonable.

After a while, Dalt got the news from Shor.

She said excitedly, "It's really an oasis, and there are buildings."

"Building? Is it a village?"

Sheld asked curiously.

"No, a separate building, it looks like no one lives there?"

The second volume is surging: Chapter 244 Chapter 130 Chapter [-] The organ in the tower

Who would build a single-family tiny house in an oasis?

Victims?hermit?Or is it some ancient ruins?

Shield made various guesses before approaching the oasis.

Until he approached the oasis, Shield saw a dome-shaped building, similar to the dome of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence in his previous life, but it was not so exquisite in comparison.

And it's just a single cylindrical building with a height of three floors, so that it looks a bit like a squat tower.

In any case, it seemed very inconsistent for this thing to appear alone next to the oasis.

"The person who built this thing in this place is either crazy or has some special purpose."

Sheld couldn't help urging everyone to quicken their pace.

A few people soon came to the edge of the oasis.

It's a pity that everyone is not the kind of guy who has been lost in the desert for a long time and is extremely short of water, and is about to die of thirst. There is no cheering and no emotional fluctuations.

Only Ikes said "the water is quite clear".

Neveu added another sentence, "It seems that there are no fish, it's not interesting."

Then there is no text.

When the water is clear, there are no fish.

Sheld thought that the old ancestor was not lying to me, the water could almost see the bottom, it was not too deep, and estimated that it could just submerge Sheld above his head.

The nearby vegetation is not too dense, there are a few dwarf trees, which look a bit like the coconut trees in the previous life, but they did not bear any coconut fruit, but instead produced a bunch of extremely bright red and small fruits.

"investigation."

"Fal fruit, a fruit commonly found in deserts, is rich in water. The skin looks thin and crisp, but in fact it is soft and firm. It tastes hot and makes people feel fire in the mouth, hence the name Faer fruit Ergo."

Farr, that unlucky Vulcan.

Spicy, red fruit - it's chili peppers!

It seems quite interesting.

Sheld sent Dart up a tree to pick a bunch, which looked like plastic cherries, too bright in color.

"Do any of you want to try?"

Sheld held the Falgo and asked maliciously, don't say it, it feels a bit like a decompression toy when pinched, it's soft and soft, and it's not so easy to break.

"Don't try."

Stike refused without hesitation for a second: "Do you think I don't know this thing?"

"what about you?"

"Don't try."

"No need?"

They all refused, even the naive Neveu refused, but Stike took the lead. Wouldn't it be a mistake to eat it?

"Neffu, why don't you try it? You can even eat that kind of dark food?"

Sheld tempted again.

"No, although the food I ate doesn't look very good, but the taste is still okay."

Neveu said sternly, "Don't take me for a fool!"

Shield: "..."

This is not convincing at all.

"If you don't try, don't try..."

Sheld picked one and put it on the ground, then took out a knife from the storage compartment and cut it.

The juice is indeed very rich, and the water is quite sufficient, just like the punctured water balloon, except that the outer layer of skin is full of water, and after the water is gone, the skin will be shriveled, and there is no pulp at all.

But what Sheld didn't expect was that this juice looked like a thing.

"This thing, are you sure it's not chili oil..."

For Sheld who loved hot pot in his previous life, this color is simply a hot pot base!exactly the same!

And this smell...

Sheld stepped forward to sniff, and then his nose twitched: "Ah————!"

That abnormally spicy hot pot flavor, really stands out?

Sheld's heart is a little restless, why don't I pick it all up?

I just don't know if this thing can last, and there is no refrigerator, and time is not static in the storage compartment.

"never mind."

This thing is just a novelty, if there is something wrong with it, it may be some strange disease.

This is an episode.

The domed building is less than [-] meters away from the oasis. Although it is still a bit out of the circle, it is still nearby.

When I took a closer look, I found that the building was a bit skewed. The whole body was made of khaki masonry, with occasional fine cracks. It looked like the door had no defense at all, and it was just wide open—a closer look Look, hey, it turns out that this thing may really be a tower, but a part of the building has sunk to the bottom of the sand, and the upper ones are the top floors of the tower.

The so-called door is actually a window.

"anyone there?"
