Chapter 416: Does breaking through the Red King’s Tomb count?
Chapter 416: Does breaking through the Red King’s Tomb count?
After getting ready, everyone set off on their journey. Just as they said, their destination was changed to the desert area, and their progress was not slow. Although they did not run, their walking speed was still very fast.
Combined with the expression on Harchi's face just now, Jiang Xun guessed that something important must have happened, which made them hurry. Otherwise, their fast speed would not be normal.
Along the way, Jiang Xun noticed that everyone's positions seemed to be in a pattern, surrounding him in the middle.
Is this a convenience for you to take action against yourself if something goes wrong?
Halchi's eyes would glance in his direction from time to time, but each time he pretended to be observing his surroundings. But in fact, Jiang Xun could feel that his eyes were always on him.
Is there really something shameful going on that makes you so wary of me?
Jiang Xun smiled and pretended that he noticed nothing. He looked left and right as if he was really appreciating the scenery along the way. He talked to Harchi from time to time, and it didn't look like he took in everything.
"Hehe, I'm sorry, Brother Jiang, this is an urgent matter, so we will go faster. If you can't hold on, we will send you to the nearest supply station."
"It's okay. I exercise regularly, so I can handle this."
Jiang Xun laughed.
He does exercise regularly, but the intensity of his exercise may be beyond their imagination.
"Yeah, that's good."
Seeing that the other party did not retreat, Halchi said no more, and everyone continued to move forward, but their eyes never left Jiang Xun.
Soon, everyone left the rain forest and looked at the gradually barren and weathered land in front of them. A gust of hot wind blew towards them, and the feeling of heat filled their bodies again. The temperature in the desert during the day was very high.
But it had no effect on everyone. Seeing that Jiang Xun still looked normal, Harchi and everyone else looked at him a few more times with some surprise. From their skin color, they could tell that they often lived in the desert.
I've almost gotten used to this hot climate, but this stranger named Jiang has fair skin, and the exposed parts of his body don't show any signs of being weathered. He looks like a young man from a good family. How could he endure this kind of weather?
Is he just holding on or is he really not affected?
Although they were somewhat surprised, they did not ask questions and just kept walking forward. Perhaps it was because they looked very tough to deal with, as they did not even encounter a single robber along the way and even monsters.
Even if they encountered them, they were quickly dealt with by Halchi's companions. Judging from their ease, it seemed that they often dealt with these things.
"Aru Village is just ahead, so we won't go there. Brother Jiang, we'll see you again if we're lucky."
Pointing to the unique desert-style buildings not far away, Harchi said.
"Okay, thank you."
"No, we want to thank you."
Harchi smiled and shook his head, without saying anything more, he turned around and left with everyone.
"Mr. Jiang, are you here to investigate in the desert again?"
When their figures gradually disappeared from his sight, Jiang Xun was about to follow them to find out what was going on, but was suddenly stopped by someone.
When he turned around, he saw a dark-skinned beauty with heterochromatic eyes walking towards him, looking at him with a smile on her face.
"You are....Miss Candice, right?"
"I didn't expect Mr. Jiang Xun to still remember me. It's an honor."
Candice nodded slightly, with the smile on her face still fading, as if she was really happy that the other person still remembered her.
"Mr. Jiang, it's been a long time since we last met. What do you want to investigate this time? Do you need my help?"
"Thank you Miss Candice for your kindness, but I am just passing through Aru Village this time and I don't have any plans for the time being."
"Is that so... If that's the case, then why don't you come to Aru Village to rest for a while, Mr. Jiang? You left in a hurry last time, and I didn't fulfill my duty as a host."
Faced with Candice's enthusiastic invitation, Jiang Xun was stunned at first, but after some thought, he agreed.
He was not afraid of losing Harchi, as he had plenty of means to track him down. Not to mention that the desert was very large. Judging from how anxious they were just now, their destination was probably quite far away from here.
There's no rush to catch up.
"That's great. By the way, can you tell me what the results of your last investigation into the Scarlet King were?"
What's the result?
Would it count if I broke through his grave?
Jiang Xun thought about it and decided that he must not tell anyone about his experience of breaking into the Red King’s Mausoleum, otherwise he would probably be on the blacklist of all the people in the desert who believed in the Red King the next day.
Fortunately, he had witnessed a lot in Akhmar's memory. If these things were taken out, they would definitely confuse the current scholars who were studying this aspect. After all, they were all deducing the life of the Red King based on some minor details, but he witnessed it all with his own eyes.
No one understands the Red King better than me!
"Of course, after that investigation, I learned a lot about the Red King."
Candice's eyes lit up when she heard that, and she enthusiastically invited Jiang Xun to Aru Village, pretending to want to listen to a story.
.......
"After hearing what you said, all my previous doubts have been solved."
Candice had an expression of "I see" and felt quite enlightened.
"But even though he did this for the desert people, it ultimately brought disaster and even sacrificed the most kind and loving Tree King. I cannot agree with this."
After Jiang Xun's explanation, Candice suddenly felt that there was a reason for the previous discord between the Desert Region and the House of the Order. It was already very good that the two had not been in constant war.
However, what made her happy was that with the dramatic changes in the top leadership of the House of Lords a while ago and the exile of the former great sage Azar who led the House of Lords, the House of Lords is now indeed developing in a good direction.
At least they no longer showed rejection of the desert people, and no longer sent people to Aru Village for experiments.
"I don't know what the tree king thinks, but I know someone who definitely knows, and he knows it very well."
Hearing this, Candice looked at Jiang Xun again and asked excitedly, "Excuse me, who is it?"
"She is now a tutor at the Order of the Holy Fathers. Her name is Buyer."
