Orochimaru's Allah's Lamp

Chapter 324 Going through the motions

Queen Loulan's face changed slightly, "Sarah, when did you come back."

She had no intention of letting anyone else know about the deal with Orochimaru, firstly to prevent the matter from being kept secret, and secondly...it was related to Loulan's fate, which was an invisible burden that not everyone could bear.

The girl lowered her head and remained silent, as if she had made some big mistake.

"I can answer this question for her."

Orochimaru glanced at the black leather bags piled on the ground and said with a smile, "It's probably about the time I take out these things."

"..." Queen Loulan was slightly silent. If this was the case, then she had probably heard about the details of the transaction.

There is no point in blaming anything now. Moreover, the reason why it was leaked was because the man in front of me had no intention of stopping it. If you want to blame, you should blame him.

"Alas..." Queen Loulan sighed, her eyes fell on her daughter, and she said, "Sara, you are not involved in this matter, so just pretend you didn't hear it, okay?"

"I also want to help you, mother." The girl raised her head, with pleading eyes, "Dragon Vein is too dangerous, and mother cannot bear it alone."

At this moment, she certainly would not blame her mother for selling Loulan and Dragon Veins at a good price. On the contrary, she was worried about her safety.

These two people are connected to the dragon veins and fight against the yellow sand storm. What kind of monster is Sarah and even their patron saint? They are already such a threat when they are stable, and what will happen if there is a riot.

"...You can't get involved in this."

The Queen of Loulan did not treat her daughter like a child. She shook her head and said, "You stay in a safe place. If anything happens to me, you will have to bear the burden of protecting the people of Loulan."

She now knows very well that the fundamental reason why Orochimaru is willing to pay so much money and provide sufficient protection is that the other party needs someone who can appease the dragon's veins.

This person can be her or her daughter Sarah, but it must not be absent.

Eggs cannot be put in the same basket. Only when her daughter leaves Loulan and stays in a safe place can she do whatever she wants without any scruples.

"..." Sarah bit her lip, looking a little unwilling.

To be fair, she also knew that what her mother said was the right thing to do, but if she really did it, it would be against her will.

Orochimaru glanced at the mother and daughter who were in the middle of a confrontation, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, clearly understanding the little girl's thoughts.

After all, the current Queen of Loulan is still her mother, and she herself is a fledgling under the wings, and has not yet assumed the responsibilities of a queen.

People from Loulan, although I shouldn’t say this, but if placed on opposite ends of the scale with her mother, Sara would prefer the latter.

And this is exactly what Orochimaru needs.

So he smiled softly and interrupted the confrontation between the two sides, "I think what this girl said is very reasonable. I have never seen a scene of dragon vein riot. The scale cannot be estimated accurately. One more person can help reduce the problem."

A lot of risk.”

No matter what, for this transplant operation, Orochimaru was determined to succeed. If he could have a little chance of winning, he would fight for a little chance of winning.

After hearing this, Queen Loulan suddenly turned her head to look at Orochimaru, with deep doubts in her eyes.

This man has worked hard and is one of the rare smart people who doesn't understand some truths. But even so, he insists on letting his daughter participate with him. Obviously there is only one possibility.

His first action on the dragon vein was more important than he thought.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry."

Orochimaru noticed the other person's gaze and smiled without hesitation, "I will find someone to protect the safety of you two and I will never let you have any problems."

"After all, I have spent so much effort, but I never thought of treating you as disposable consumables."

"..." Queen Loulan fell silent after hearing this.

These words were really irritating, but the other party was also somewhat reassured.

Indeed, if the mother and daughter were allowed to die, the price would be too high.

"Okay, let's stop here for now. People in this city are now panicked. It's time to tell them the bad news that the sandstorm will come as promised tomorrow."

Orochimaru smiled playfully, "There will still be some time before the ninjas from Sunagakure Village arrive in the evening. Let them panic for a while, so that we can proceed with the rest of the matter."

After the words fell, Orochimaru stood up from the sofa and said, "I also have some things to be busy with, so I won't be with you for the time being."

"You..." Queen Loulan stood up, but before she could say anything, the other party had jumped onto the patio and disappeared into the narrow sky, leaving the two of them in silence.

"Mother, what should we do now?" Sarah looked at Queen Loulan with hesitation and hesitation in her eyes, feeling a little at a loss.

"Tomorrow's sandstorm is bound to happen as he said, and everyone should be informed of this."

Queen Loulan sighed slightly, "But it should be at night. After going through this catastrophe, at least let everyone rest and have a meal in peace."

Afterwards, you can also be mentally prepared.

…

Dusk is approaching, and in the desert, the prelude to night is a rapidly dropping temperature.

In order to provide illumination and warmth, torches were lit early in Loulan's conference hall.

Under the swaying light and shadow, the figures were longing, and the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.

Sitting outside the round table, a middle-aged man with a square face said in a deep voice, "My Lady Queen, is this true? The storm will come tomorrow too?"

Queen Loulan shook her head, "I have no reason to lie about something that can be proven at dawn."

The middle-aged man continued to ask, "But before this, you have never had the ability to predict sandstorms."

In fact, he doesn't really question Queen Loulan that much. There is no need to question things that can be known tomorrow. Just look up at the sky and you will know. What kind of disaster will happen in a few decades, and everyone should tighten up.

The prophecy of devotion in the waistband is something that needs to be thought about and questioned.

However, I am still a little unwilling to accept it.

Because the Queen of Loulan is not just talking about tomorrow. It is not clear what will happen the day after tomorrow, but there is a high probability that there will still be a sandstorm.

This means that either the Loulan people will mutate and evolve and adapt to life in the sandstorm, or they will choose to leave.

The former is so difficult. Besides, if you could really do it, why bother chewing the sand here? You would have already broken out of the Kingdom of Wind and headed towards the prosperous ninja world.

But the latter incident meant being displaced. Although it was better than dying in a sandstorm, it was not much better.

Not only the middle-aged man, but others also frowned, psychologically unwilling to face the unknown fate after leaving Loulan.

"What I made was not a prediction, but an interpretation based on the will of the dragon's veins."

Queen Loulan looked around at everyone, "I'm telling you, it's also to brainstorm and work together to find a suitable way out."

Although Saiba is nominally the queen of Loulan, in fact the power in her hands is not that great.

Loulan said it was a kingdom, but in fact it was more like a village, and she was the village chief and witch Zhu.

The biggest difference between her and ordinary people is that she does not give birth and has a very high prestige because of her ritual activities for dragon veins.

Her words carry a lot of weight on such a major matter involving Loulan's future, but after all, it cannot be settled with one word.

"..." In the conference hall, the atmosphere was slightly silent.

Having lived in the desert for so long since I was a child, I don't know how difficult it is.

This is not the beautiful song "I am the wind, you are the sand...", but more like "the dry corpse, blown by the strong wind".

After a long silence, the middle-aged man who asked the question before said,

"There are also several small oases in the four directions of Loulan. Everyone knows these locations. If the people in the village are divided into several parts and scattered around, and they can survive there for a while, they may be able to avoid this disaster. After all,

This sandstorm cannot hover around Loulan forever."

To be fair, this method does have some possibility of success, but it will also divide Loulan's power.

Although dispersing it into several parts reduces the risk of all Loulan people being destroyed, this method is too risky for some people.

Just like in this room, some people are more responsible for the work in the city, rarely travel far, and know little about oasis and desert walking. If the knowledgeable people are evenly distributed, that means that their survival probability will directly

It depends on the level of that person.

Everyone knows who is strong and who is weak, and they all want to go to a high-level team. This distribution itself is unfair, and some people immediately raised objections.

"...These two consecutive days of sandstorms are obviously unusual. It's better not to separate. With more people and greater strength, we can at least have someone to take care of us."

"Yes, yes, besides, staying in the oasis is not a problem. It is different from staying in Loulan. We also need to live after leaving here."

"How about traveling in the form of a caravan? There are more than a dozen camel beasts in the city..."

"..."

Everyone brainstormed and came up with various methods, but no matter what, they still couldn't satisfy most of them.

Seeing this situation, Queen Loulan sighed slightly in her heart.

Change is difficult. After living a life in Loulan, who wants to be suddenly displaced? These dissatisfactions are not directed at the method itself, but because they want to leave Loulan.

After thinking for a while, Queen Loulan said, "There is still some surplus food in the city. Regarding Loulan's future, everyone can think carefully about it after going back tonight."

"But it is best not to exceed three days. It is not easy to control the dragon veins to fight against the sandstorm."

Everyone's expressions changed slightly. The second sentence can be said to be nonsense. It is not easy to fight against such terrible natural disasters, even with the help of the power of the patron saint.

As for other things, food is okay, but if there is no protection from the dragon veins and a sudden sandstorm occurs, death will almost be declared.

But this is actually the same in the desert, and even more dangerous, because there is no protection from the dragon veins, and they have to face the wind and sand on their own.

But now that time is limited, we can only grasp the big and let go of the small, and we can’t wait any longer.

"..."

Considering the risks alone, this is almost a dead end. The most appropriate way is to stay in Loulan City for the past two days and send a few people to the desert to see what's going on.

Anyway, we can't stay in Loulan City forever.

"...Since everyone agrees with this method, let's do it."

Queen Loulan nodded slightly, "After dawn tomorrow, four villagers will be sent to explore the road in four directions..."

"Dong dong dong..."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and before the person inside could say anything, the young man outside pushed the door open and walked in with an excited look on his face.

"My Lady Queen, everyone, there are people coming from outside. They are the Ninja Village of Sunagakure Village. They seem to know about the sandstorm we encountered."

"What……"

Queen Loulan pretended to be surprised and stood up suddenly. Others could not hide their joy.

Let’s not talk about the sandstorm for now. Now that the ninjas from Sand Hidden Village are coming from outside, they must know the news outside Loulan.

If we can save four villagers who are sent out, not to mention preventing them from accidental death, the time saved is very important.

"..." Queen Loulan looked around and said in a deep voice, "Let's go out and have a look."

…

In the square covered with yellow sand, the Fourth Kazekage Luosha glanced around, a flash of shock flashed in his eyes, and the faces of the sand ninjas beside him could not conceal their shock.

Although Loulan has a small population now, the ancient city of Loulan was quite large, even half the size of Shayin Village.

But such a big city is now completely covered by yellow sand.

"Master Kazekage, there is something unusual here."

A female ninja with orange sideburns stepped forward and said, "If such a large-scale sandstorm is not a natural disaster but man-made, I am afraid that only Shukaku's Jinchuuriki can do it. I suspect this may be related to Akatsuki."

Organization related.”

Feng Ying Luo Sha glanced at the other party and said in a neutral tone, "It's somewhat possible, but I'd better wait to get more information before making a judgment."

This female ninja was one of the most powerful warriors in the village. She controlled the Burning Release and was named Ye Cang. She was a strong candidate to compete with him for the Kazekage title.

It was precisely because of her existence that Rasa's position was not secure when he first took office as Kazekage, so he was forced to accept Granny Chiyo's Jinchūriki plan.

The past was like a smoke, and there was no need to care about the original grudges. Kazekage Luosha thought that he could rely on this transaction to reverse the decline of the village and gain unprecedented prestige, so he had some thoughts and accepted Ye Cang as his subordinate.

Although this woman is a little naive, her strength should not be underestimated. She is definitely not inferior to him. She is an extremely useful thug.

Of course, the purpose of bringing him out for acting this time was to show that he attached great importance to this storm, but this purpose was not important enough.

"..."

Queen Loulan and a group of people strode over, and at a glance they saw Fengying Luosha's clothes.

Kazekage and the others didn't know him, but there was no one in the ninja world who didn't know about this outfit.

Queen Loulan was slightly shocked. It was just a formality, but he could actually let Feng Ying come over. How much energy does this man have?

It’s not Double Ninth Festival, it’s just a normal cold, high fever, very uncomfortable, but how can I put it, I’m actually a little happy
