Trafford’s Trading Club

The previous generation of the Summoner of the Divine Light built the kingdom overnight with three wishes, and then had eternal life, but even so, he could not revive his late lover, because his three wishes had been exhausted.

In order to revive the Queen, previous generations of summoners built the underground pyramids themselves, while brutally capturing nations through the passage of testing, hoping to find the next summoner of pure heart, so as to help him realize his desire to revive the late Queen.

Perhaps this is the relationship that broke down so fast in the 7th dynasty… For the sake of [the 4th wish], the King keeps letting his people die tragically for a long time, and there will probably be a flow of rebels among the people.

In fact, the so-called nation of that era was not much bigger, much less a country than a modern city... since it could be built overnight in the desert, it could naturally be destroyed overnight.

So if Otto was the previous summoner, he probably knew about the underground pyramid early in the morning, and even where the lamp was placed.

……

In fact, the desert at night is not a good place to rush, but it has just escaped from the mob camp and naturally is not a good place to wander around the exit.

Although Aria has been totally stuck with people about collecting tolls, the principle of necessarily doing things with money makes no difference - although quite unpleasant, he does come into use as a guide in the desert, with professional knowledge.

After a long ride on a camel, Aria found several empty houses in the desert built of mud and stone.

“It's too cold, it's hard to see, it's easy to go back and rest here until dawn. ”

No opinions.

Arria began her life, and then distributed drinking water and food to the people, after which he took his gun and all his supplies, brought a camel and hid himself in the house beside him.

“What a skeptic!” Claudia said a hateful word, but she also knew that since the relationship had become so rigid, Aria was naturally doing the same thing… To be honest, she would probably do the same thing.

Claudia took half a bottle of water and a bag of dry food and hid herself in the corner of the house, eating quietly - Claudia hasn't spoken to Mr. Lo since she started her journey.

At this point, something suddenly flashed out of the house, and Claudia jumped up suddenly, and was, of course, a light-bodied yellow lizard with a generation of limestone grey lizards.

Most women have a little fear of this kind of crawling life… Between Claudia's screams, Mr. Otto suddenly shook his hand and a cold light flashed by, a little dagger.

Like a clown in a circus performing a flying knife stunt, the dagger's body swayed brightly, at which point it was directly inserted into the lizard's head and crucified to the ground.

Mr. Otto came and stepped on the lizard's body and pulled the dagger out, softly saying: "This is the king lizard, the unique lizard variety here. However, this article is not adult and is of little harm. ”

“Scared... scared me to death.” Claudia sighed slowly and then looked at Mr. Otto with a sudden feeling that this muddy man seemed quite reliable - at least better than some little white face from the East.

“I've been walking around the desert a lot, so it's not a big deal.” Mr. Otto shook his head slightly.

"I didn't expect your flying knife to be so powerful," said Claudia. "People can't do it at all. ”

Mr. Otto said softly: "It's just a little more time to practice and get acquainted… you can do it too, if you want to spend more time. ”

Claudia shook her head, and if there was time, she would rather overcome a few more mathematical difficulties - provided, of course, that she was able to leave the desert safely and return to civilization.

“Where is Mr. Otto from?” Unconsciously, Claudia approached Mr. Otto and began to ask some questions curiously.

She seems to have forgotten the inside of the house and the owner of Lo, who is organizing the fire heap, is using normal means with interest to make the fire a little more prosperous.

He had previously learned some wild survival knowledge that his father had taken him to a troop camp in the summer when he was a kid - but that knowledge was generally unnecessary.

“This fire is just right.” Mr. Otto suddenly said, "Just right for the roast. ”

Where the meat comes from… The only source of meat is naturally the king lizard that has just been stabbed to death on the ground - the lizard's meat is edible, which has been eaten in public by a man called the strongest man on the surface, and is still eaten raw.

At this point, Mr. Otto sliced off the skin of the king's lizard with a dagger, then cut out the meat strip, stranded it on a dead branch, and began to bake it.

“It has a higher protein content than these dried foods, and we need more strength.” Mr. Otto said as he roasted the lizard meat.

Claudia may have had difficulty accepting this meat and looked at it with some scepticism, but it was probably because of the reliability that Otto had given her along the way, and when the lizard had been roasted, she ate it hard on her scalp.

There are no flavors, it doesn't soften the meat, it's simply cooked, the taste is naturally better than anything else… It's just that in this difficult and dangerous environment, eating and eating, there's a special kind of greasy sweetness.

Boss Lo also took a small bite and nodded: “The fire is really well managed, Mr. Otto usually likes to cook too? ”

“When it's boring, it's always time to find something.” Mr. Otto said softly.

But Boss Lo said, "Mr. Otto, do you find it boring to visit cultural monuments all over the world? ”

“Rest!” Claudia flipped her eyes when she looked at Boss Lo, "Who needs a rest time to go around the world every day... it's not normal to find something to do and relax at rest? ”

“Exactly.” Boss Luo smiled and then stood up, "I went outside to pick up some dry branches. ”

“Whatever.” Claudia shrugged her shoulders, very casually.

Mr. Otto said more, just that the weather was cold outside, threw a coat at Mr. Lo, put it on him, afraid that he would run into danger, and then gave him the dagger to defend himself.

……

“You don't have to be so nice to this guy!” Claudia shook her head at this point and lowered her voice - after Boss Lo left the house.

“Fighting yet.” Mr. Otto laughed. “For what? ”

Claudia bluntly said, "I don't like being with selfish people… I wasn't very familiar with him. ”

Mr. Otto naturally knew that Ariah was struggling, and Lochu insisted on not paying... he looked at Claudia and said: "Not familiar... if not familiar, why did you come with him to the desert? ”

“For some other reason.” Claudia shook her head and shook her breath: “Now think about it, am I crazy, I've only known him for a few days, and I followed him to this shithole... I'm so obsessed! ”

“Perhaps there are other reasons why he insists on not paying Ariah's toll.” Mr. Otto thought about it.

“For what reason?” Claudia muttered with dissatisfaction.

“Perhaps… even without Arria's supplies and guidance, he has the means to take you out of the desert.” Mr. Otto said coldly, "He is fit and seems to understand the art of survival in the wild. ”

“Is this guy in good health? Such a thin man?” Claudia is incredible: “Looks like a young master used to being served! And stingy! ”

“Life requires more observation.” Mr. Otto shook his head: “The eyes will deceive your first perception… some people, some things, only get along for a long time before you know what their essence is. ”

Claudia didn't think so, shook her head: “Perhaps… young people, when they grow up, will mature and experience will teach him many things - but it will also be many years later… but many years later, there is no way to solve the problems of the moment. ”

“A little patience is not a bad thing.” Mr. Otto smiled.

Claudia snorted softly, seemingly opening her mouth: "If a woman gives patience to a man... who gives time to a woman? Women's body, youth, appearance are all ready-made... men, don't they always like ready-made? ”

“For the most part.” Mr. Otto did not deny it, whispering: “Give a woman time… but even if you give a woman time, seemingly eternal adherence will come to an end. ”

The topic of the discussion at first didn't seem like this... Claudia shrugged, feeling like she had been misled, and shook her head: “What do you want to do so much? After decades, you and I, like each other, became ashes. ”

“It is also true that… eventually there will be death.” Mr. Otto nodded, "Nobody, except. ”

Claudia rubbed her forehead, presumably experiencing a lot of frightening and exhausting relationships all day, beating a lapse: “This topic is obviously not suitable for continuing to talk in this environment... rest more and supplement your strength! ”

“Your friend hasn't come back yet, I'll wait for him.” Mr. Otto smiled. “If you're sleepy, go to sleep. I'll watch the fire. ”

Before Claudia fell asleep, something seemed to have occurred to her, and after a little hesitation, she took the weird oil lamp she had obtained from the pyramid out of her backpack.

“Is this it?” Mr. Otto said slightly at the moment.

Claudia casually said, "This was found in the pyramids, and the thugs seem to want this... something that's probably worth a fortune. Nor can I let you help me pay the toll, but I don't have that much money to pay you back... this thing is for you. ”

Mr. Otto did not refuse, he took it in silence.

Claudia added at this point: "I don't know if this thing is worth much, it could just be a piece of shit, worthless. But it could also be a valuable monument, a priceless treasure. I've credited it to you, whether it's worth it or not, and I owe you a million dollars to be even. As for the guy's fare, ask him if you want it! ”

“Don't you regret it?” Mr. Otto asked coldly: "Perhaps it is really valuable, even priceless, after all so many people have died for it... and I did not say that you must pay me back the toll, you can pretend to be silent until you leave the desert. ”

“One is one, two is two.” Claudia frowned, "I'm not used to being in debt. As I said, even if this thing is priceless, we can't regret it after tonight. Many people have died because of this thing, obviously it's not a good thing, and it might bring misfortune... Besides, this thing, it's estimated that there are many souvenir shops in the city, can you really scrape out a blue fat elf and give you three wishes? ”

Mr. Otto said softly: "Perhaps indeed. ”

Claudia shook her head, “You can be serious. Anyway, I've had it for so long, don't say elves. None of the mosquitoes fly out... you just have to be happy. ”

Mr. Otto has been silent for a while, staring at the oil lamp in his hand, wondering what to think... and Claudia should have fallen asleep in this quiet of his.

……

……

She heard something, so she woke up… she was a particularly prone person to wake up.

The sound comes from the crackling of burning dead branches.

Claudia opened her eyes and saw Lochu sitting in front of the fire adding dead branches… she just didn't see Mr. Otto.

She had to frown and rush from the exit until now, for the first time, looked at Mr. Lo and said, “Where's Mr. Otto? ”

“Not anymore.” Lochu said casually, "When I got back, he was gone. ”

“No? Is it convenient to go...” Claudia frowned and asked. “How long have you been back? ”

“Half an hour.” Rochu looked at the time, "he saw you asleep, so he didn't wake you. ”

“Half an hour?” Claudia sat up in a hurry and looked at Mr. Otto's original position… nothing was left but a few dead branches of lizard meat that had not yet been eaten.

“He couldn't have walked this long for no reason, could he?” Claudia watched Lochu vigilantly and then quickly climbed up… and ran away.

Boss Lo didn't care either. After breaking up a dead branch and throwing it into the fire, he took a book and set it on fire. It looked like - [The Google Fairy Tale].

This is actually Teacher Pullin's [Green Fairy Tale], but Mr. Lo borrowed it from Teacher Pullin, and Teacher Pullin gave it quite happily.

Soon Claudia rushed back and looked a little panicked, "Aria's gone too! Camels, water and food, all gone! He left us! But Mr. Otto..."

But Mr. Otto is gone!

Suddenly, Claudia came up with two possibilities - first, Lochu killed Mr. Otto and Aria while he was asleep, and hid water and supplies… but apparently he had no motive to do so.

Then the second one.

Otto left with Aria and took all the water and food… but why did they do it?

“What the hell happened?” Claudia sat powerlessly down and felt only a great sense of fear. Even though it was a heap of fire in front of her, she still felt cold. "Since when do you… are you still in the mood to read? Hmm... where did you get the book? ”

Without paying attention to Claudia's last question, Boss Lo closed the fairy tale book and said softly: "What do you think we should do next, Claudia? ”

“Catch up, of course!” Claudia was slightly angry: “What's wrong with you? Since you've been back long enough to find Otto missing, don't you have any ideas? Have you ever been away before? ”

Claudia walked straight out, just a piece of black paint outside, and there was no road in the desert to say... who knew which direction Aria and Mr. Otto were going.

“Otherwise, go this way.” Boss Lo picked up a torch and pointed it at the stars in the sky and said... the North Star.
