Chapter 4 Roland (4)
"Your Highness, I still feel that I shouldn't have taken this person of unknown origin on the way." Clary insisted very much. He always felt that this weird girl had seen somewhere.
"Captain Guard, all living beings are equal, you shouldn't have any disagreements with her. If this girl is injured, wouldn't it be like throwing her into the desert alone?" Sai didn't take the abnormality of the guard's guard. He didn't think there would be any danger to a weak girl. Now the prince's most concerned is whether he can arrive at the next oasis before dark. If he meets the undead, there will be no Pastor Light in their team, which will be a disadvantage.
"Roland..."
Hearing Lin Na's cowardly call, Roland, who was sitting on the camel, opened her eyes.
"That...your wounds...can't the undead be shining in the sun?"
"Are you really worried about me?" Roland smiled calmly after looking at the scorching sun on his eyes. "This little sunshine will not hurt me too much. I know what you are thinking, and it is best to dispel that ridiculous idea. I have warned you that Rafa is a cruel undead, and he is different from me. I may still have mercy and unbearableness, but he does not. He is my master, I cannot go against his will, if I want to live, do what I say. Even if I arrive at the Oasis of Daphne, no one can save you. Ordinary pastors of light cannot fight against Rafa's power. Although their power in the earthly realm has decreased a lot, even if the deacon of the Great Church is present, it will be useless."
"I..." Lin Na was speechless when she guessed it right. She really wanted to know why a dead soul could move under the sunlight, which was contrary to common sense.
Lin Na has now confirmed that Roland is definitely not a living person. No matter how cold a person is, he cannot be as cold as a dead person. The only explanation is that she is a dead person.
Because she wanted to find out about her identity, she barely spoke, but she didn't expect that the other party would see through her. Lin Na lowered her head embarrassedly, not knowing how to face the eyes that had already seen through her heart.
Andanes... Unexpectedly, I went on this road again...
Surrounded by the same color of earth-red sandstone and yellow sand. Looking at the environment that was almost the same as memory, Roland fell into deep thought.
At that time, he was rescued by merchants and took the same road. He had never expected that he would come to this famous business road again, and he had already realized everything...
"Look, what is that?" The soldier disguised as a merchant pointed to the distance.
A huge desert storm was sweeping everything where it passed, both rocks and plants were sucked away, and the destructive power changed everyone's face.
"No, we have encountered a sandstorm!!" Clary issued an order to evacuate with a solemn expression, but this vast desert could not avoid the raging sandstorm.
In a blink of an eye, a crazy sandstorm chased Prince Say's escaped.
"Hurry, everyone will scatter, don't be sucked in!" Although the order to disperse was issued, more than half of the people were still sucked away by the powerful suction force of the storm.
"Your Highness the Prince -!!" Seeing soldiers constantly sucking into the storm where the sandstorm was spinning at high speed, Clary was worried about the prince who had already dispersed, but in the current situation, his shouting could not reach Say's ears at all.
The wind is strong and the wind and sand are everywhere, and people's eyes cannot see things under such circumstances.
Lin Na wanted to open her mouth, but was filled with sand. She couldn't see the things around her at all, and she could only hear the "whirring" wind and the terrifying shouts of people.
"Ah~~~~~" Suddenly, I felt my body lightening and I couldn't help but soar into the air.
Been swept into a sandstorm!!
With this consciousness, Lin Na began to shout for help. Just when she was about to despair, she felt a cold hand grabbing her ankle, and her body that had already floated into the sky fell back to the ground again.
Although the other party did not speak, she knew that the owner of these hands was the undead - Roland, and only she could have such a cold temperature.
The storm continued to move forward. Although it was only a moment, Lin Na felt as long as a day passed.
Until there was no terrifying whistle, Lin Na raised her head. She lies in the sand and shakes the sand on her head. Only then did she find that there is no one around, and there is only a dead soul who cannot be considered a "person".
Lin Na stood up and looked around and found that there were only the corpses of more than a dozen soldiers and the chaotic camels. They were killed by the storm and were no longer able to be rescued. With a heavy mood, Lin Na only found two unbreakable water bags and not much food in her remaining luggage.
"Let's go, don't be too late. It's going to be dark soon. We have to continue rushing." Roland led two of the surviving camels, not injured, and signaled Lin Na to continue rushing.
As the light became darker, Lin Na also became scared.
She took a boat to the Eastern Continent and did not walk through the Andanes Corridor. She just heard that there will be a large number of undeads appearing in this desert at night. Although there is a undead around her, she still maintains the appearance of a "human". What Lin Na is worried about is meeting undeads such as zombies or skeletons. These group undeads are the most difficult to deal with. She is a healer, and she does not know martial arts or light magic at all. The healing light cannot dispel a large number of undeads. What should she do if she really encounters them?
"... Will the prince and the others be safe?"
"..." Roland turned around and looked at Lin Na with a worried look behind her. It could be seen that she was very scared.
"If you are in the mood to worry about others, it's better to worry more about yourself."
"I think you don't seem to like humans, so why do you have to insist on being with humans? I think you can reach the Ice Crystal Continent even if you go on the road alone." Lin Na was a little angry. She was able to hold herself in a sandstorm before, and that kind of strength was extraordinary, not like what she said "weak"; "Since you can save me, why not save others."
"...I am not God, and it is impossible for me to do anything other than my power. I am not an Illuminati. The reason I saved you is simply to use humans to cover up the dead aura on me."
"You-!!" Lin Na knew that she had unreal fantasies. She forgot that the undead were originally dead objects, and talking about the value of life with them was simply a waste of energy.
Fortunately, before nightfall, Linna and Roland finally met another caravan.
Prince Say, Watson, and Clary were all there, and some soldiers, who were caught in a sandstorm and only a few people died, and were rescued by the Zion caravan when they were unconscious.
"It's great to see you two safe and sound... Isn't Clary with you?" Prince Say was very happy. He thought Linna and Roland had already died, but he was still worried before he saw the commander of the guard.
"Young Master, don't worry. Maybe Clary has arrived at the oasis." When he went out, Watson was not convenient to call Say the prince in front of the caravan; "It's cold in the desert at night, so let them eat something and roast the fire."
"Yes, you guys should hurry up and rest by the bonfire. The journey must be very tired after a afternoon." Watson went to get food, and Say took Linna to the bonfire lit by the merchant.
The desert is very cold at night. Lighting a bonfire can drive away the cold, and the other is to prevent attacks from the undead.
The undead are afraid of the sun and the heat. Although the heat of the bonfire cannot drive away the undead like a beast, it can make their movements slow, so that the guardian mercenaries can discover the traces of the undead as soon as possible.
"Miss Roland, aren't you here to cook the fire?" Say turned around and saw Roland standing far away from the bonfire, with a gloomy expression and didn't know what he was thinking.
"No, I'll rest here." I found a small rock nearby, and Roland sat on the ground, pressing the hood even lower. From entering the caravan, she felt several visiting gazes focused on her. Wouldn't it be more noticeable if she was by the bonfire?
"Young people, have you come from Mingsu?"
Prince Sai originally wanted to come forward to ask, but Zion's caravan leader Oobi came over with several soldiers and mercenary captain Suha.
"Does this matter?" Watson, who retrieved the food, asked vigilantly.
"It's nothing, I just want to ask, what's going on in Mingsu recently. I heard that not only did the civil war not end, but its neighbor Onitro also occupied several provinces and counties on the border. Is this really true?"
"Well... it's roughly the same. The rebel general Sears has occupied the imperial capital, Emperor Gaoca fled, and Onitro has captured the six counties in the East. Judging from this situation, the current situation in Mingsu is very bad. If you have business dealing with Mingsu, there will be great losses." Sai simply described the situation before he left. Many merchants in the imperial capital have moved away, and only those merchants who made money in the war continued to stay in Angelit. Ordinary merchants are most afraid of war. As long as the signs are wrong, they will immediately pack up their belongings and leave. He dressed up as a merchant and had the opportunity to leave the city.
"Ha... It's great now. Ming Su's chaos is like this, so they don't have the extra energy to go to Meili to make trouble." Wu Bi was very happy. He is one of the big businessmen of Meili's business alliance. He has a lot of industries in Meili. He was originally a little worried about Ming, but now Ming Su has been struggling to attack internally and externally. This is really great news for him.
"Master Wubi, look over there..." The mercenary captain carefully observed Roland sitting on the stone resting. Although the hood covered part of his appearance, his facial features were still clearly visible.
"Oh... that's not..." Whoopi turned his head, and he was startled by this look. He quickly moved his fat body and walked to Roland; "His High Priest, how could you... come to such a place?"
"High Priest?!" Say and Watson looked at each other, both of whom were surprised by the title of the leader of the caravan.
"High Priest..." Roland answered calmly without looking up; "You have recognized the wrong person, I am not a high priest."
"How could it be? Even if I didn't see your black appearance, I can still recognize you." Wubi surrounded Roland with a smile and ordered the men who followed him. "What are you doing here? Go and pack up the best tent and give the High Priest a rest!!"
