Chapter 427: Eternal Day Desert

This king is a pragmatic guy. He made it clear that he is not interested in artifacts, and he is also very confident about the strength of his own country. He just wants to guard his one-third of an acre of land.

Anyway, there is no penalty for failure, and the other party is willing to send him a land ship directly, so Mu You has no reason to refuse this task.

[You agreed to the king's request for cooperation. 】

【The king was overjoyed, and immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare a banquet to welcome you. 】

【You declined the king's kindness and expressed the hope that you can leave as soon as possible. 】

...

The country's ability to act is quite good, and the king did not procrastinate. When he heard that Mu You wanted to act as soon as possible, he immediately canceled the banquet and began to prepare.

About an hour later, Mu You received a notification: the land boat given to him was ready, and it stopped outside the south gate.

Mu You hurriedly manipulated the characters to go over and take a look.

[You came to the south of the city and saw a huge single-masted land ship docked on the sand outside the city gate. 】

[The land ship is 20 meters high and more than 100 meters long. It is in the shape of a shuttle as a whole, with eight reptile-like mechanical webbed feet extending from the bottom.]

[Sand land ship: A sand ship modeled on the body structure of a desert salamander, which can drive on the sand as if walking on flat ground, combined with the help of sand sails, when the wind direction is correct, it can explode Unimaginable speed...]

This land boat was not quite what he had imagined. It actually had 'legs'. According to the description, it was made after the structure of a reptile, and the description of its appearance was a bit weird.

But in any case, the things must be genuine. With this boat, it will be much more convenient to move in the desert in the future.

[You have obtained control of the sand land ship. 】

[In addition to the land ships, King Aldromal has also provided you with several escorts. 】

[A dozen people dressed as caravan guards stepped off the boat and stood in line in front of you. The leader of the guard came out and introduced their identities to you. It turned out that they were all the military elites of the Eldromal Empire, and the guard headed by them was Kimi Evans, the army commander of the empire. 】

It's no surprise that someone will act with him. After all, it's impossible not to send someone to watch over such a valuable ship. What if he takes the ship and runs away? To Mu You's surprise, the leader was actually a top expert of level 30!

You know, because of the deliberate suppression of the Wizarding Association, in several major human countries, there are almost no masters above the legendary level, but I didn't expect that in this remote desert country, there is actually a full-level master hidden. !

[Evans came in front of you, pointed his fingers at his forehead and chest, and gave you a courtesy that represented 'God's Blessing', and then handed you a few things. 】

[You have obtained a set of 'Wealthy Merchant Costumes with Special Patterns'. 】

[You have obtained a 'King's Treasure' ring. 】

[You have obtained the 'Treasure House Temporary Credential' mark. 】

[The king's treasury: a special space ring, connected to the private treasury of King Adramer. The treasury is full of all kinds of gold, silver and jewels, but the treasure can only be taken out of it with the treasury credential. 】

[Temporary Treasure Voucher: It is only valid when there is a need for funds during the task. You can extract treasure from the king's treasury. However, if the treasure is used for purposes other than the task, the credential will become invalid immediately, and the task will be counted as a failure. You will be at odds with the Empire of Eldromal. 】

This king is quite generous, in order to ensure the completion of the task, he directly handed over his private treasury to Mu You. Of course, the other party is not a fool, and has made some restrictions. The treasures in the treasury can only be used for the mission itself. In other words, the consumption he incurred during the mission will be reimbursed by the king. On myself, no way.

[Evans tells you that your identity for this mission is to play the role of a wealthy businessman from other places, and you are also a loyal follower of Caesar. go to them. And they are the 'caravan guards' you hired in the desert. 】

【You put on the clothes of a wealthy businessman, and boarded the land ship with Evans and the others. 】

[The land ship made a humming sound similar to that of a train. Amidst a rumbling tremor, it officially began to slide on the sand, and the speed was getting faster and faster...]

[To the scarlet desert, it is expected to arrive in ten hours...]

The ten-hour journey is actually not too short, but the advantage is that there will be no harassment by monsters in the middle, and there is no need to stop and go, just hang up the phone safely throughout the journey.

However, Mu You couldn't take it easy. According to the description in the text, the land boat was driving on the undulating sand dunes, but the interior was as smooth and comfortable as a train.

At this time, more than a dozen guards on board were gathered in the passenger room, sitting together in twos and threes.

Mu You manipulated the characters around the crowd and tried to interact with them one by one.

【"Everyone is mortal, may the goddess of the desert bless you, warrior!"】

【"As long as you are against Caesar, you are our friend!"】

【"Caesar's undead army may be powerful, but as warriors of Eldromal, we will never flee without a fight!"】

【"The greatest glory of a desert warrior is to die on the battlefield, shrouded in horse leather..."】

【"If Caesar reappears, there will be no peace in the desert!"】

【"When the war starts, will you be on our side?"】

【"Caesar must be stopped! This is our mission!"】

...

Clicking along the way, Mu You found that these soldiers seemed to be brainwashed, and could only speak some fixed lines.

Only when the Legion Commander Evans was clicked, an option for normal interaction finally appeared.

[You sit down across from Evans and try to talk to him. 】

[Ask about his past], [Ask about his ambitions], [Try to recruit].

Mu You's eyes lit up, can you recruit?

Originally, he was wondering, how could a level 30 top expert, who walks sideways in the astral world, be willing to be inferior to others and be an ordinary legion commander?

Now the option to recruit suddenly appeared, which immediately moved Mu You's heart, and he clicked decisively to try.

【You tell Evans that you are also the lord of a city, and you are in charge of tens of millions of people. You insinuate whether he has any intention of following you to Sky City. 】

[Evans glanced at you, shook his head and declined your recruitment. 】

【"I am a warrior born in the desert, and I am also a faithful believer of the goddess of the desert. My faith is placed in this desert. I am destined to guard this land in this life until I die!" Evans replied seriously. 】

Mu You was disappointed, but he understood why the Wizards Association didn't suppress his level.

This person is powerful, but he is a paranoid believer, no matter how strong he is, he will never leave the area where he was born. But the Wizarding Association doesn't like the remote and desolate continent like the desert, and there is no conflict with the people here, so naturally they let it go.

Shaking his head, Mu You continued to try to interact with the other party.

[You ask about Evans' past. 】

[Evans tells you that he served in Caesar’s army in the past and was one of Caesar’s most powerful personal guards. However, he couldn’t bear Caesar’s brutal behavior towards ordinary people and decided to assassinate Caesar. Unfortunately, the assassination failed. He was forced to escape from Caesar's Legion, and for a long time after that, he was hunted down by Caesar's army and wandered in various deserts, but he also escaped the bizarre destruction of Caesar's Legion... ...]

"oh?"

Mu You was taken aback for a moment, this legion commander was actually Caesar's personal guard, that is, a character more than a thousand years ago, no wonder he has such a high rank!

Unexpectedly, he had just entered the desert and hadn't found any trace of Caesar, but he met a client who had been around Caesar first.

【You hurriedly asked Evans, did Caesar really get the 'Pen of Order'? ] Mu You immediately asked the most important question.

["The pen of order, Caesar did have it..." Evans glanced at you, nodded and gave you a clear answer, because he had seen the existence of that magic pen with his own eyes, but this pen has been in existence for thousands of years. The former has mysteriously disappeared in the desert along with Caesar's army. 】

Mu You breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, at least the legend was confirmed to be true, and the magic pen was indeed still in this desert, so he wouldn't make a trip in vain this time.

[Evans tells you that it is precisely because he has seen the power of the magic pen with his own eyes that no one knows better than him how powerful the undead army created by Caesar's magic pen is. In this world, the entire continent will surely be devastated! 】

【"So our mission this time is very important! No matter what the price is, we must prevent the Caesar Religion from resurrecting Caesar!" Evans looked at you very seriously. 】

【"Since you are so afraid of Caesar's resurrection, why don't you just send troops to destroy this organization?"】

This is also a point that Mu You is more puzzled about. Why does the other party need to rely on an outsider to intervene to help him deal with an organization composed of bandits in a dignified empire.

【"The Caesars are very vigilant, and they hide deep in the scarlet desert. Once they find our army approaching, they will withdraw immediately." Evans shook his head: "Besides, our purpose is to stop Caesar Resurrection, not just destroying an organization, even if they are eliminated, if the method of Caesar’s resurrection spreads, Caesar still has a chance to be resurrected.”]

【"We have arranged undercover before to try to break into them, but unfortunately, they are particularly strict with the identification of the locals, and all the people we sent have never returned. Therefore, we can only try to find help from outsiders , and must be an outsider with sufficient self-protection power..." Evans said looking at you. 】

"..."

Mu You was speechless, because he suddenly found that his goals seemed to be in conflict with the opponent: the opponent did not want to revive the Caesar Empire, to put it bluntly, he did not want Caesar to reappear in any form.

But his goal is to get the magic pen. If it is true that the magic pen is still in the hands of Caesar, as the other party said, then he must first find Caesar before he can talk about stealing the magic pen...

Mu You shook his head and didn't mention it for the time being, so as not to affect the cooperation.

Along the way, he began to communicate with Evans, asking him about Caesar.

And Evans also knew everything, saying everything he knew.

According to Evans, Caesar was indeed a tyrant, and the title of "war madman" was not an exaggeration at all for him.

However, regarding the bizarre disappearance of Caesar's Legion at the beginning, Evans also said vaguely, saying that the entire city suddenly disappeared without a trace in the desert overnight.

In short, in the game, I just rushed all night. It was not until the next morning that Mu You finally received the prompt of [Enter the Scarlet Desert].

At this time, Mu You had also discovered that the days in the desert were too long.

Last night, the sun hadn’t set until after nine o’clock in the evening local time, and the sun rose again in the sky around three o’clock in the morning the next day, which shows how long the days here are!

And according to Evans, the next Crimson Desert is a 'Desert of Eternal Day'. The sun does not set all day long, which is completely opposite to the Undercity. This area is full of daylight 24 hours a day!

This made Mu You quite uncomfortable, because it meant that his vampire skin would not be usable here.

[Your sand land ship was attacked by a group of sand bandits! 】

[Under Evans' signal, several soldiers on board disembarked immediately to fight, and easily defeated the bandits...]

...

【... Another group of sand bandits jumped out from the side of the road and stopped your land boat...】

[Several fighters shot again and easily settled the enemy...]

...

After entering the Crimson Desert, the road began to be attacked by sand bandits from time to time. Fortunately, the guards on the boat were strong enough, so Mu You didn't need to do anything at all. These soldiers would automatically clear all obstacles along the road for him.

In fact, Mu You didn't know where their destination was. Anyway, he was happy to fish when someone led the way.

Just like this, I went deep into the scarlet desert for about two hours. When I encountered the tenth wave of robbers, another text finally popped up in the game.

【"Here we come! It's them!" The familiar voice of bandits shouted again from outside Lu's boat, and Evans, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. 】

[You look out through the car window and find that the number of bandits has increased significantly this time, at least hundreds of them densely packed, and all of them have a nine-toothed sun pattern painted on their chests, which is exactly the same as the pattern on your rich merchant's clothing : This is exactly the pattern of the battle flag of Caesar's Legion! 】

[Including Evans, a dozen soldiers pretending to be guards immediately went out to fight. 】

[You can only hear the sound of fierce fighting and screams from outside the ship. 】

【Waiting for a few minutes, after the sound from the outside gradually subsided, you walked out of the cabin. 】

[At this time, the outside battle has come to an end. More than a dozen soldiers guard the land ship. Everyone is bloody, but the number of soldiers has not been reduced. On the opposite side, hundreds of sand bandits surrounded the entire land ship, but fear flashed in the eyes of most sand bandits, obviously aware of the extraordinary fighting power of this caravan guard, and they were hesitant to give up this piece Hard bones. 】

【"Stop!" You shouted, and then, according to the agreement with Evans, stepped off the land ship and revealed your identity to the other party: as a wealthy businessman who sold his property and came from other places to support the Caesar religion , This is really flooding the Dragon King Temple, the family does not know the family, this battle is really a misunderstanding. 】

[And after listening to your 'self-introduction', a group of Sand Bandits on the opposite side looked at each other with suspicion in their eyes, and sized you up with questioning eyes. 】

[Until you showed the pattern of the nine-toothed sun on your chest, and raised your arms and shouted: "Long live Caesar!\
