Chapter 427 Eternal Desert

This king is a pragmatist. He has made it clear that he is not interested in artifacts. He is also very concerned about the strength of his country. He just wants to protect his own three-acre land.

Anyway, there is no penalty for failure. The other party is willing to directly send him a land ship. 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 men to prepare a banquet to welcome you. 】

[You declined the king's kindness and expressed your hope to leave as soon as possible. 】

…

This country's ability to take action is quite good, and the king did not delay. When he heard that Mu You wanted to act as soon as possible, he immediately canceled the banquet and started preparations.

About an hour later, Mu You received a notice: the land ship for him was ready and stopped outside the south city gate.

Mu You hurriedly controlled the character and went over to take a look.

[You came to the south of the city and saw a huge sloop docked on the sand outside the city gate. 】

[The land ship is twenty meters high and about a hundred meters long. It is in the shape of a fusiform, with eight reptile-like mechanical webbed feet extending from the bottom.]

[Sand Land Ship: A sand ship modeled after the body structure of a desert salamander. It can travel on the sand as if it were on flat ground. Combined with the assistance of the sand sail, when the wind direction is correct, it can explode

Unimaginable speed...]

This land ship was different from what he imagined. It actually had 'legs'. It looked like it was made after the structure of a reptile, and the description of its appearance was a bit weird.

But no matter what, the things must be genuine. With this boat, it will be much easier to move around in the desert in the future.

[You have gained control of the sand land ship.]

[In addition to land ships, King Adromar also provides you with several accompanying guards. 】

[A dozen people dressed as caravan guards stepped off the ship and stood in line in front of you. The leader of the guard came out and introduced their identities to you. It turns out that they are all military elites of the Adromar Empire.

The escort is the Empire’s Legion Commander Kimi Evans.]

Mu You was not surprised that someone would act with him. After all, it was impossible to send such an expensive ship without sending someone to watch it. What if he just took the ship and ran away? What surprised Mu You was that the leader

He is actually a top level 30 expert!

You know, due to the deliberate suppression by the Wizards Association, it is almost impossible to find masters above the legendary level in several major human countries. However, I did not expect that in this remote desert country, there is still a master with a full level hidden.

!

[Evans came to you, pointed his fingers to his forehead and chest, gave you a gesture that represented 'divine protection', and then handed you a few things.]

[You have obtained a set of ‘rich businessman clothes with special patterns’. 】

[You have obtained a ‘King’s Treasury’ ring.]

[You have obtained the ‘Treasure House Temporary Voucher’ mark.]

[The King's Treasure House: A special space ring is connected to the private treasury of King Ajomar. The treasury is filled with all kinds of gold and silver jewelry, but the treasure can only be taken out with the treasury certificate mark. 】

[Treasury Temporary Voucher: A mark that only takes effect when there is a demand for funds during the mission. Treasures can be withdrawn from the King's Treasury. However, if the treasure is used for purposes other than the mission, the voucher will immediately become invalid and the mission will be counted as a failure.

You will be at war with the Azromar Empire.]

This king is quite generous. In order to ensure the completion of the mission, he directly handed over his private treasury to Muyou. Of course, the other party was not a fool and made some restrictions. The treasures in the treasury can only be used for the mission itself. In other words, he is on the mission.

The king will reimburse the king for all the expenses incurred during the trip, but if he doesn't follow the rules and wants to embezzle public funds for himself, there is no way.

[Evans tells you that your identity in this mission is to play the role of a wealthy businessman from other places. At the same time, you are also a loyal believer of Caesar. After hearing the teachings of the 'Caesar Cult', you immediately sold your property.

Go and join them. 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 others.]

[The land ship made a whine like a train, and with a rumbling tremor, it officially began to slide on the sand, and the speed became faster and faster...]

[Heading to the Scarlet Desert, expected to arrive in ten hours...]

The ten-hour journey is actually not that short, but the advantage is that there will be no harassment from monsters along the way, so you don't have to stop and go, and you can just hang up safely throughout the journey.

But Muyou couldn't rest. According to the description in the text, the land ship drove on the undulating sand dunes, but the interior was as smooth and comfortable as riding a train.

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

Mu You controlled the character to move around among the people and tried to interact with them one by one.

["All mortals are mortal, may the Desert Goddess bless you, warrior!"]

["As long as you are an enemy of Caesar, you are our friend!"]

["Caesar's undead army may be powerful, but as warriors of Eldromar, we will never flee without a fight!"]

["The greatest honor for a desert warrior is to die on the battlefield, shrouded in horse leather..."]

["If Caesar reappears, there will never be peace in the desert!"]

["When the war starts, will you stand on our side?"]

["Caesar must be stopped! This is our mission!"]

…

After clicking all the way, Mu You found that these soldiers seemed to have been brainwashed and could only speak some fixed lines.

Only when I clicked on the legion commander Evans, the option for normal interaction finally appeared.

[You come and sit 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 he be recruited?

He was originally wondering, how could a level 30 top expert who always walks sideways in the Star Spirit World be willing to be subordinate to others and become an ordinary legion commander?

Now that the recruitment option suddenly appeared, Mu You's heart suddenly moved, and he decisively clicked to try.

[You tell Evans that you are also the lord of a city, with tens of millions of people in charge, and you are insinuating whether he has the intention to follow 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 loyal believer of the Desert Goddess. My faith is placed in this desert. I am destined to protect this land until death!" Evans answered seriously.

】

Mu You was disappointed, but he somewhat understood why the Wizards Association did not suppress his level.

This person is very powerful, but he is a rather paranoid believer. No matter how powerful he is, he will not leave the area where he was born. The Wizards Association does not look down on a remote and desolate continent like the desert, and has no conflict with the people here at all, so naturally it does not

Just let it go.

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

[You asked about Evans’ past.]

[Evans will tell you that he served in Caesar's army in the past and was one of Caesar's most capable bodyguards. But later he couldn't stand the cruelty Caesar treated ordinary people and decided to assassinate Caesar. Unfortunately, the assassination failed.

He was forced to escape from Caesar's legion. For a long time after that, he was chased by Caesar's army and wandered in various deserts. However, he also escaped the bizarre destruction of Caesar's legion later...

…]

"oh?"

Mu You was stunned. This legion commander was actually Caesar's personal guard, a figure from more than a thousand years ago. No wonder he has such a high rank!

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

[You hastily asked Evans, did Caesar ever really get the 'Pen of Order'?] Mu You immediately asked this most important question.

["Caesar did possess the Pen of Order..." Evans glanced at you, nodded and gave you a clear answer, because he had seen the existence of that magical pen with his own eyes, but this pen had not existed for thousands of years.

It had mysteriously disappeared into the desert along with Caesar's army.】

Mu You breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, he at least confirmed that the legend was true. The magic pen was indeed still in the desert, and his trip this time would not be in vain.

[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 Caesar created with the magic pen is. Once Caesar's army is restored,

Now that the world is here, the entire continent will be devastated!]

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

["If you are so afraid of Caesar's resurrection, why don't you just send the army to destroy this organization?"]

This is also what Mu You is confused about, why does the other party, which is an empire, need to rely on an outsider to help when dealing with an organization composed of gangsters.

["The people of Caesar's Cult are very vigilant, and they are hidden deep in the hinterland of the Scarlet Desert. Once they notice that our army is approaching, they will immediately evacuate." Evans shook his head: "Besides, our purpose is to stop Caesar

Resurrection, rather than just destroying an organization. Even if they are eliminated, if the method of Caesar's resurrection is spread, Caesar will still have a chance to be resurrected."]

["We have also arranged undercover agents before to try to infiltrate them. Unfortunately, they are particularly strict on the identity checks of locals. All the people we sent never returned. Therefore, we can only try to find outsiders for help.

, and it must be an outsider who is strong enough to protect himself..." Evans looked at you and said.]
