Xingyu World: Legend Guild

Chapter 657 – Coming to the Crescent Oasis

Xingyu, at 8 o’clock in the morning on December 11, 1174, there was an oasis in the desert called Meniscus, which was named after a moon-shaped lake.

The Saint Mark Mercenary Corps team is camping around the Crescent Water Oasis for repairs, while Yan Tielong, Ospine and several members accompany Uncle Ababag into the oasis town to purchase various substances.

You must know that Yan Tielong and the others arrived at the oasis yesterday evening. As a result, they couldn’t enter the small town in the oasis too late, so they can only enter the town to buy materials today.

Yan Tielong asked about the price of selling water for the brawny man, but Yan Tielong was surprised that the water here actually cost fifty silver coins a catty, and he felt that he was at a disadvantage.

And when Uncle Ababage next to Yan Tielong heard the price of water, he frowned, because the current price of water has increased by ten times.

Yan Tielong frowned when he heard Uncle Ababagh talk about the price of water being raised ten times. After all, the price of water was suddenly raised. Then there must be something wrong with the meniscus water oasis, but now the most important thing is to get water, otherwise a large group of people will be there. To die of thirst.

When Yan Tielong was trying to get the water, he suddenly discovered that there were many tents 50 meters north of the Crescent Lake, so he asked Uncle Ababag next to him if the tent 50 meters away was the owner of the oasis?

Uncle Ababage heard Yan Tielong’s question. He said that those tents did not belong to the owner of this oasis, but were outsiders like them.

Hearing what Uncle Ababag said, Yan Tielong felt that he could get free water, so he asked if he could get a tent near the lake?

Uncle Ababage heard Yan Tielong’s request, he showed a puzzled expression, and asked why those positions were needed?

Yan Tielong reminded Uncle Ababag in a low voice that he is a water magician, as long as he is close to the lake, he can get clean water.

Hearing Yan Tielong’s words, Uncle Ababag’s eyes lit up, so he assured Yan Tielong that he would take care of the tents.

Yan Tielong watched Uncle Ababag leave in a hurry. He could understand why Uncle Ababag was so anxious. After all, the Ababag caravan had consumed a lot of water. If there was not enough water, they could not hold on to the next oasis.

It’s just that when Yan Tielong was about to leave, the price of water sold here rose to a gold coin per catty, and it also caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the people, and even some people used force. Unfortunately, the local armed forces in the Meniscus Oasis were stronger, and those who launched the violence were suppressed. , And then they were all thrown out of the oasis by local armed forces.

Seeing that water prices are constantly being raised, Yan Tielong enters Wangshui Tavern, hoping to find out why the local water prices are continuously increasing.

It was just that Yan Tielong had some doubts that the ale in the tavern actually only cost five silver coins for a cup, which means that ten silver coins can buy a catty of ale, which is more affordable than a gold coin of water outside, so he directly asked for ten barrels of ale.

It’s a pity that Yan Tielong has no choice but the tavern owner told him that he can’t take out the wine here. Ten barrels are fine, but he has to finish drinking it in the tavern.

Hearing the rules of the tavern owner, Yan Tielong didn’t want ten barrels of ale but only ordered a glass of ale.

While drinking, Yan Tielong asked the tavern owner why he sells alcohol so cheaply, while the price of local water is so high?(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Originally the tavern owner was unwilling to explain the reason, but when Yan Tielong spent a gold bar to buy the superb sand hot zone “Beverage”, he explained the reason.

It turned out that the direct reason for the long price of the meniscus water oasis is that the oasis here has changed owners. The new oasis owner believes that the old oasis owner’s price is too low, so he decided to raise the water price, but the tavern owner did not expect the new oasis owner Too greedy will bring disaster to this oasis sooner or later.

Yan Tielong agrees with the words of the tavern owner. After all, water is the source of life in the desert. Like the current owner of the oasis, raising water to a gold coin per catty is beyond everyone’s ability to bear it. This is already for the lives of people who lack water. If you can survive, there will surely be someone who wants to make trouble. I don’t know if the oasis here will be destroyed by war.

When Yan Tielong finished drinking the superb sand hot zone, Ababag and Ospine looked to him. For the two of them, Yan Tielong, who was a little drunk, introduced that the drinks here are several times cheaper than the water outside.

When Ababagh heard Yan Tielong’s words, he showed an unexpected expression, but what he thought of, introduced to the a little excited Ospie that the drinks in this tavern were not allowed to be taken out.

Hearing the disappointment that Ospine was not allowed to take out, they took the somewhat drunk Yan Tielong out of the tavern. After all, they couldn’t let other people know about the water.

After waiting out of the tavern, Yan Tielong, who had been a little drunk, returned to Qingming and whispered to the two people around him that someone was following, asking them to be careful.

When Ababag and Ospine heard about Yan Tielong, they already knew that the amount of alcohol was very good. Yan Tielong could get drunk only by drinking a 300ml bottle of superb sand hot zone and a few glasses of ale. It turned out to be for people who stared at them. what!

Return to Yan Tielong who belongs to his tent area, ask Ospine to send Mary Yixue and Admire to the tent closest to the lake, and also ask Ospine to secretly protect the tent of the nearest lake from anyone disturbing them to cast spells. Fetch water.

Ospine heard Yan Tielong nodding, and went to find the second girl; while Yan Tielong entered the tent near the lake and began to take out a very large piece of paper and began to draw the magic circle with special ink.

To Yan Tielong’s surprise, his fiancée Shi Te Alia was also interested in watching how he and his second daughter fetched water; therefore, Yan Tielong arranged his fiancée to act as a guarantee and must not disturb them. Then he introduced him to Mary Yixue and Edmis. Collect the water element array, let them summon water polo into the water pipe to fill the waterwheel outside with water.

Upon hearing Yan Tielong’s instructions, Mary Yixue and Edmis expressed their understanding, but Mary Yixue hoped that the magic circle on the paper in Yan Tielong’s hand could be studied by her. After all, she had never seen the water magic circle drawn by Yan Tielong.

After seeing the two magical girls of the water system express their understanding, Yan Tielong took out dozens of bottles from the space ring to fill up the magic and spiritual power and told the second girl to wait for the magic and spiritual power to be insufficient despite using the potion.

Then Yan Tielong took out three natural sapphires from the space ring and placed them in three places of the magic circle, and then began to use magic power to inspire the magic circle, and then formed a magic circle in front of Yan Tielong.

When Yan Tielong’s magic circle was completed, Mary Yixue and Edmis obviously felt that the surrounding water elements began to become more and more active, so they began to summon the water ball in the water magic, and they found that the magic they had summoned was very smooth. , And they also feel that their water polo power has strengthened.

But Mary Yixue and Edmis knew that they still had important things, so they controlled the water polo into the water pipe and started to replenish the empty waterwheel.

In fact, Yan Tielong’s water magic array is called the water-gathering element array. This array allows the surrounding water elements to gather around the magic array, but it needs a water magician to control it.

Of course, some people may ask why water magicians and water gathering element arrays should come to the oasis to buy fresh water, instead of using magic to replenish water for the waterwheel.

In fact, Yan Tielong went to the oasis to buy fresh water, firstly because it was cheap, and secondly because he could not achieve self-sufficiency; willing and simple, the water element on the desert ground is very scarce, and the water element in the sky is too high to reach the master magician. It couldn’t be convened at all, so even Mary Yixue’s senior water system battle magician was suppressed to barely reach the elementary high level.

According to Mary Yixue’s level, she can barely supply the basic water needs of sixteen people at a certain time each day, but Yan Tielong and Edmis are even worse, which causes the water demand to be nothing but a stubborn salary.

The effect of using the water-gathering element array in the desert is also very limited, and it is very wasteful, so some stingy Yan Tielong will not use it at all.

The oasis lakes here are full of active water elements. As long as the water-gathering element array is used to attract the water elements in the lake to the side, Edmis and Mary Yixue can restore their strength and increase their strength.

Because Yan Tielong and the others use the water element to replenish the water, they have little impact on the current lake water, which is why the desert residents respect the water magician.

When Ababag saw an empty loading truck full, he couldn’t help smiling, and thanked the earth for the blessings of the gods.

At the same time, Ababagh thought about how he went to his caravan to gather everyone, and then began to let everyone happen in the name of a god without revealing what happened here to anyone, otherwise he would be punished by the god.

When Ospine saw Ababa’s behavior, he still did not understand why the other party did it, but it was necessary to remind and pay attention to the team members, so he asked Qimi Luoan to inform all the members to carry out what the team leader did. The highest level of confidentiality.

Qimi Luoan saw that the deputy commander was very serious. He knew that the deputy commander was not joking, so he nodded solemnly and executed the order.

In fact, it was a very correct choice for Ospine and Ababag to use magic to replenish water for Yan Tielong to maintain strict secrecy, because their secrecy behavior also avoided unnecessary trouble for the upcoming riots.
