Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Capítulo 1671: Chapter 249: The Hard-Earned Oasis

Luximar really enjoyed sitting by the window watching the Undead Tribes.

They truly lived such joyous lives.

Endless yellow sand, endless wind and dust.

And the fine sand that fell on their heads and faces, which could never be completely wiped away.

Yet it couldn’t make these people, who had journeyed far from the bustling, serene, and green Cain Valley, show even the slightest discontent.

Even after walking in the desert for three days, they remained full of passion.

The only two big arguments arose because the guide took a wrong route.

This was something Luximar found hard to understand.

After all, the guide was also a magic profession, and moreover, a profession with the talent of the Guide Technique… When Luximar first heard of such a profession that could never get lost in any place, even below a legendary maze, he was quite envious.

In the World of Aesces, where minerals are abundant and there are large mines everywhere, having the ability not to get lost in the crisscrossing tunnels is simply the best talent given by the heavens.

But the Undead Tribe possessing this profession would still get lost in a desert where one could see the sun, moon, and stars in the sky and feel the direction of the wind… This really left Luximar at a loss.

He did know the Undead Tribe was not really familiar with their own profession, but… isn’t it a talent?

Can a talent be used wrongly?

However, he turned his head to see Lady Rose with a ‘this is normal’ expression on her face… Luximar couldn’t restrain his curiosity and asked softly, “Excuse me, is it because the Undead Tribe is not very skilled with this profession, or is it just…”

“A Toril legendary professional with this talent can even find a way out of a maze of the gods,” Lady Rose slightly twitched her lips before replying calmly.

After all, this talent was given by Shaer, and the worse the Undead Tribe squandered it, the happier she was to see.

“Alright~ I understand.” Luximar looked at the Undead Tribes outside in surprise, then couldn’t help but use a standard Pathfinding Technique.

Then his face couldn’t help but twitch.

He knocked forcefully on the window of the carriage, and looking at the Undead Tribe manager who looked over, Luximar tried to maintain his politeness and smile, “Is Mr. Mobi Chenxin there?”

“What’s up?” The Undead Tribe scratched their head, “Our clan leader went ahead to catch that stupid guide, without watching him, he walks the wrong way.”

“Isn’t Guide Technique his talent?”

“Not being able to distinguish left from right is an incurable error… Otherwise, he wouldn’t sacrifice combat power to choose a profession that can discern directions.

You know.

Even talented spells can’t be used continuously.

Mobi mainly watches him to prevent him from going astray in those 5 minutes in the middle.”

“Already astray.” Luximar spoke expressionlessly.

“Damn it!” The Undead Tribe manager cursed and disregarded Luximar’s reaching hand and calls of ‘wait, I…’ as they urged the horse forward, charging madly, “Stop! Everyone stop! It’s off course again, damn it!

Mobi you idiot, what are you looking at!

What use are you!”

Luximar slowly withdrew his hand from the carriage window, gently closed the window, carefully examined his fingers, and finally leaned back slowly against the soft, comfortable wall of the carriage: next time, should he shout louder?

It seemed like being too gentle didn’t work well when dealing with the Undead Tribes.

He raised his head and thought of Mr. Hill, who stayed in the Magic Tower for long periods but was always taken seriously by the Undead Tribe when he appeared… when he appeared before a large number of Undead Tribes, it seemed he always adopted a more attention-grabbing mode.

Most of the time appearing in the Cloud Realm, looking down while speaking to the Undead Tribes.

Luximar originally thought that was due to Mr. Hill’s extraordinary status and power, but… hmm… now it seemed, wasn’t it also because it’s hard to communicate with the Undead Tribes in a normal way?

However, he wasn’t the Great Sage!

The Great Sage could treat the Undead Tribes with a high and mighty attitude, but he, who still relied on them to get things done, couldn’t do the same.

Luximar lay curled in the carriage, pondering: he thought the most important thing now was to come up with a way to communicate normally with the Undead Tribe, or at least with those in charge among the Undead Tribe.

Lady Rose pouted a bit out of boredom, thinking this Junior Mage was wasting his effort.

The people and gods who got along well with the Undead Tribes, aside from Shaer’s unwilling subordinates, were those of the Chaos System, right?

Oh right, Lansendel wasn’t Chaos… was just a neutral nobody wanted.

Anyone with normal logic, wanting to get along with the Undead Tribes, is definitely asking for trouble.

Lady Rose immediately ruled out that Edna Mistrala… that thing seemed Lawful Neutral, but in reality, was just a slacker Neutral.

Bred by the Undead Tribe, and sharing their nature: flashy exterior, messy inside.

‘Knock knock’.

A tapping sound came from outside the tightly closed carriage window.

“Mr. Lucimar, is there something you want from me?” Mobi Chenxin’s gentle and refined voice sounded outside the window.

Opening the carriage window again, Lucimar saw Mobi Chenxin, dressed with a gentleman’s flair in a dark gold robe suited for desert scenery. Yet he couldn’t forget the brilliant speech of the management that had just been furiously shouted.

He couldn’t forget that no matter how graceful this Mage acted, he was someone who couldn’t find his way and couldn’t tell the difference between someone’s Guide Technique and a normal map… Ah, what a character.

This gave Lucimar, who had judged the Clan Leader of the Black and White Path family to be very shrewd and meticulous from past interactions, a feeling of utter absurdity.

He was now very unconfident about judging the properties of the Undead Tribe and decided to lower his presence for the time being.

Lucimar always felt that if he stood too far ahead and too high up, he might fall into a pit.

“It’s nothing… I just wondered if you wouldn’t mind letting my carriage go in front?” Lucimar said warmly, “Although my carriage is somewhat slow, in the desert, this doesn’t make much of a difference.

I think…”

“That’s great!” Mobi Chenxin scratched his head and interrupted Lucimar’s polite attempt to give the Undead Tribe an out: “If you’re willing to help, you’re our lifesaver~”

Looking at the slightly baffled Lucimar, he said naturally, “Ah, dear Mr. Lucimar, you probably don’t know how many from the Undead Tribe are watching this grand march through the desert.

How many are betting we won’t find the next oasis within half a month… Hey!

All just bastards here for the spectacle!

So, you don’t have to be so polite, we can’t find the way.”

He suddenly turned his head and cursed at someone on the other side: “Listen to Old Dog spouting nonsense!

The Proud Sky Alliance, all brought out by him, don’t even have the nerve to recognize the road!

Damn it, at least we’ve just gone off track; if it was him, he’d already be back in Cain Valley by now!”

Lucimar pondered again over the peculiar relationships of the Undead Tribe… He still knew who Old Dog was cursing.

Then he sighed silently to himself: What kind of torment did Master Xi Er go through to achieve such harmony with this peculiar group of the Undead Tribe!

Choosing selectively to ignore what the Undead Tribe did when they found Hill back then, Lucimar silently directed the Alchemy Carriage to the front position, then painfully moved the front 15 degrees before setting off again.

Though the lead horse had been replaced with the slower Alchemy Carriage, this time, the expeditionary force quickly found the next oasis.

Mobi Chenxin examined his tablet for a while before asking Lucimar in the carriage window, “This seems to be another oasis, not the one we originally planned to go to?”

Lucimar calmly replied, “Yes, it was supposed to be the second closest… if we had taken a straight line.

But after three days of travel, this side became a bit closer.

Speaking of, since it’s on the same line as the second oasis, this one isn’t small, but has fewer visitors.

After all, that’s the point on the desert’s main road, where most minerals are distributed.

And here, er~ if you want to head towards the Desert Kingdom from here, you actually need to take a big detour.

However, I remember that the original owner here was also one of the families involved in the surprise attack on Cain Valley, so you know, there should be an openable door here.

For the powers like Danboro, if there are few people, it’s hard to conquer, because who knows if there’s a means to force open this Dimensional Gate from the other side.

If there are many people, this location isn’t appealing either.

But for you, wouldn’t this portal be more suitable?”

Mobi Chenxin quickly nodded: “Of course, we only need the people on the other side.

Ah, but the other one…

There’s Luciella… how do we find her here?”

“Don’t worry about that.” ‘Lucy’ said from inside the carriage, “She can’t be found on the main road either.

They must be in a completely unrecorded small oasis.

All you have to do is force her out, not search up and down yourselves in vain.

No matter how many Undead there are, splitting them in such a big desert is futile.”

Mobi Chenxin tilted his head to look inside the carriage and asked with some surprise: “Oh~ Lady Rose seems to be in a great mood today?

Because the sunshine is so brilliant?”

‘Lucy’ laughed coldly: “You can make my mood even better.”

“Ah~ everyone in the back has arrived, I need to go command the battle, wish you a delightful mood~ beautiful Queen.” Mobi Chenxin quickly departed, raising a cloud of dust with the horse hooves.

Lucimar asked in a bit of bewilderment: “He seems to be in a very good mood?”

He even dared to flirt with ‘Lucy’!
