The ancient documents in the desert have been lost a lot as the desert people have been fighting and killing each other.

Almost no one can recognize the text. After comparing multiple documents, Saht barely translated a paragraph.

And it is not comprehensive. Does the king in the document refer to the gods?

From the context, it can be roughly guessed that a king or god should have caused something, which led to the disaster. In the end, the god in the forest sacrificed himself to quell the disaster.

The next sentence should be a warning to the people of the desert to remember the kindness of the forest god.

Further inference, the one who caused the disaster should be the god of the desert.

Is the god of the forest the god of the elves?

Saht, who was getting more and more excited, determined an approximate location on the map where the document was found.

Then he found a traveling merchant, bought a multi-hand car, prepared simple food and water, and set out on the journey to find clues about the gods.

Unfortunately, he was too naive. Even someone like him who grew up in the desert could not last long without supplies.

The clues about the gods were like mirages in the desert, out of reach.

The resources for survival were gone, and the scorching sun made him almost dehydrated.

"I... am too naive. How could I discover the deeds of the gods...?"

Saht showed a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth. Not long after drinking the last sip of water, his body could no longer support him and fell into the sand.

Perhaps his body would not be discovered for hundreds of years...

He could no longer open his eyes. The hot yellow sand made his cheeks red, and the scarf on his head was blown off by the wind and sand.

Just when he was about to lose consciousness.

He heard a strange cry, and Saht reluctantly opened his eyes, but it was an unbelievable scene.

A pure white camel with a water bottle and food hanging on it came to him.

"Am I... dreaming?"

Saht muttered to himself.

The camel called softly twice, lowered its head and arched his body.

"Not dreaming?"

Saht, whose spirit gradually recovered, climbed up from the ground with difficulty and grabbed the water bottle.

"It's not empty!"

Saht, who was overjoyed, took a few sips of it and then reluctantly put it down.

"Are you... sent by the gods to save me?"

He gently stroked the camel and whispered.

"It seems that there is really a will in the dark?" Saht picked up the headscarf and put it on again, and rode on the camel.

He didn't know where this camel came from. Looking at the food and water on it, it should have been lost.

But Saht still regarded it as a mysterious guidance from the gods.

"God, if you really exist, please guide me to find your glory."

Riding on the camel, Saht, who had recovered his spirit, took out the map and looked at the marks on it and thought.

"There are only a few places left. Find the real clues before the food and water run out."

There are still a lot of resources hanging on the camel, enough for him to support until the end.

One person and one camel, just like that, they started the journey again.

Until the sky gradually darkened, Saht found some dead branches to build a simple fire and tent.

"Although I have been used to eating this kind of dried meat, today is the most fragrant one."

Saht chewed the dried meat hard. This kind of food in the desert is not a delicacy, but after experiencing a near-death experience, he cherished everything that was hard-won.

"The weather is a bit cold. Let's get ready to rest after eating." Put the last piece of dried meat in his hand into his mouth, and then take a sip of water.

Saht was ready to return to his tattered tent.

Although it was a cheap product, the quality was surprisingly good, and it was worth his hard work to carry it all the way.

The sky was full of stars, and there were meteors from time to time, which looked particularly beautiful in this silent desert.

"What a beautiful starry sky, but it's a pity that I don't have time to appreciate it now... eh?"

Saht, who was about to return to the tent to rest, suddenly saw a strange black shadow under the star Mithras.

"What is that?"

Saht carefully drew out his scimitar, thinking, could it be a beast?

But he thought about it again, it was not right, most of the beasts in the desert were social animals, and the shape was not right, and this black shadow was motionless.

It looked more like a building.

He tiptoed to the black shadow.

Next to him, he turned on the oil lamp and saw a triangular object.

"Is this... a building?"

Saht was a little surprised and quickly squatted down to sweep the nearby yellow sand. Finally, he revealed a building spire with unknown patterns engraved on it.

"Below, there is a triangular building!"

The surprise came so suddenly. Saht put the oil lamp aside and excitedly dug the yellow sand with both hands.

"Is this the guidance of the gods?"

An hour later, Saht stared at the ground with an ugly face.

"I can't dig through these sands by myself!"

He was angry and anxious. He finally found the clues of the gods, but he couldn't dig through these yellow sands at all.

It was a great irony that the mysterious building was so close, but he was powerless.

"What is that?"

Under the night and the oil lamp, Saht looked at the patterns on the spire, emitting a faint light.

"These words... these are words!!"

Saht took out the documents from his pocket and compared them.

During the day, these lines intertwined and it was impossible to tell that they were words, but at night when the light came on, after removing the redundant ones, it became very obvious.

"Gold...Dreamland?"

"Sun...Color...King?"

"The color of the sun?" Saht was surprised and said, "That is red. Could it be that the god in the document refers to the Red King?"

Having already known the god, he continued to check the lines.

"Red King's order? Spirit, find shepherds and unify the desert."

"Shepherds, conquer the desert and manage the land for the Red King..."

When he read this, Saht couldn't help his excitement, and his eyes burst into amazing colors:

"The legendary god, the Red King, wants a certain spirit to find a shepherd to rule the desert!"

The yellow sand began to slowly sink down at some point, and Saht didn't notice it at all, and was obsessed with interpreting the words on it.

"Was this building built for the Red King by his people?"

"These words are engraved on the outside, and they should be epics telling the deeds of the gods."

The yellow sand was settling more and more, and a camel not far away made a cry, awakening Saht who was immersed in it.

"Oh no, the quicksand is coming down!"

Then, the yellow sand around Saht flowed faster and faster, and finally formed a vortex and flowed downward.

"The building is about to be exposed!"

Saht struggled for a while, trying to grab the top of the building, but the power of the quicksand wrapped him up and pulled him down.

And at the moment he fell, he saw the last line of words.

"The one who made a secret agreement can be the king of the desert."
