From the sea?
Shao Xuan could not imagine this, unless the slave owners were mermaids. However, this seemed impossible. Living in the desert for so many years, how could they be marine creatures? Even if they evolved, it would be a process.
After hearing the blind old slave's answer, Shao Xuan's first reaction was that he did not believe it. His second reaction was that he still did not believe it!
However, the other person's face was serious, which made Shao Xuan helpless.
"What does it mean to come from the sea?" Shao Xuan asked.
The blind old slave shook his head. "I'm not very clear, but I heard some people say before that the slave owners came from there."
Shao Xuan still had doubts about this. After thinking about it, he asked the old slave about the map of the desert. The map that Su Gu gave to Shao Xuan was not comprehensive. Shao Xuan hoped to see a more complete map here. After all, it was one of the three major cities. How could there not be a complete map?
For maps, the old slave did not know much. He was blind in his early years. Many of the things that he memorized were only remembered after listening to others read them. Pictures and the like were more difficult.
Although he did not remember, the old slave knew the approximate location where the map was placed. He went to the side of the stone shelf and raised his hand to mark a range. "It should be in this area. You look for it." Although his eyes could not see, he clearly remembered what kind of notes were placed on which piece.
Shao Xuan carefully rummaged and finally found a few animal skin rolls that looked like maps.
"This hasn't been touched for some years. You should be careful." The old slave said.
It was indeed old enough. Even if the animal skin was carefully protected in the early stage and usually cared for, the quality of the animal skin was not excellent. With a little negligence, it could easily be damaged.
The map drawn on the animal skin roll was very simple, and the scale was not good. It only marked the approximate location of the desert cities and some important places. Some of the areas painted dark on the side should be the sea.
Shao Xuan memorized all of this, then put the map back.
After flipping through a few more notes, Shao Xuan stopped.
The blind old slave held some notes and put them in the place where Yang Guang was to dry them in the sun to prevent them from being eaten by insects or moldy. Although he could not see, it was not difficult to do such things for a long time. He could also feel where Yang Guang was.
"If you have nothing else to do, leave this place as soon as possible," the old slave said.
"Yes." Shao Xuan also did not intend to stay for a long time. Recently, there were more things in Snowfield City. Shao Xuan intended to leave later.
"Don't wait until sunset. After sunset, the defense in the palace will be stricter than during the day." The blind old slave said.
Shao Xuan's face changed. He really intended to wait until sunset to act. He did not expect that the palace of Snowfield City would be like this. Could it be that the Snowfield King was often assassinated at night, so he strengthened the defense at night?
No wonder the man and woman before came out to fool around during the day instead of at night.
"Good." Shao Xuan thanked the old slave and watched the old slave carefully move the notes made of different materials.
Before listening to the old man's tone, he could hear that he did not have a good view of the slave owners. He even admired those historical traitors. But for these notes left by the former slave owners, he cherished them very much. Thinking of this person's talent for reciting books, if it was in a more advanced peaceful era, he might be a talent for learning.
What a pity.
"How did you lose your sight?" After Shao Xuan asked this sentence, he felt that it was impolite to ask this question. It was like exposing people's scars.
Seeing that the old slave did not speak, Shao Xuan intended to change the topic, but he heard the old slave calmly say, "When I was very young, I became a slave of the previous Snowfield King with others. Once, I looked at the notes in his hand. The king was in a bad mood and was very angry. I accepted the punishment."
The old slave still remembered that at that time, after the king stabbed his eyes, he threw him to the side of the stone room and said, "Don't you like to watch? Then watch enough here!"
The blind slave could not see the words on the notes, but he begged others to read them to him. He wrote down all the notes he had heard and recited them every day.
Shao Xuan heard the words and sighed again: What a pity.
Before leaving, Shao Xuan also intended to leave some herbs. There were no herbs to strengthen the body, but there were still some left to treat trauma.
The old slave refused.
"You need it more." The old slave said.
"You …" Shao Xuan looked at the sick old man. If he continued like this, not to mention the pain caused by the injuries, he would not be able to persist for long.
"Anyway, there is not much time left." The old slave was open-minded and waved his hand. "Let's go. By the way, you have to be careful of the Bi Luo. "
"What is a Bi Luo?" Shao Xuan asked.
"It's a desert beast domesticated by Snowfield City. It's not big and usually hides in the palace. Their sense of smell is very keen. If you are not stared at by them, you will rarely be able to escape." The old slave said.
"After I sneaked into the palace, I did not encounter it." Shao Xuan said.
The old slave was not clear about this. After all, his range of activities was limited to the stone room where the notes were placed. He heard other things from others.
"Maybe the Bi Luo stayed near the king's palace." The old slave said, "But you still have to be careful."
"Well, I know. You can rest assured." Shao Xuan thanked him again and left the stone room.
After Shao Xuan left, the old slave sat there quietly. Although he could not see, he could feel the direction of the window. At this time, he had been staring out of the window.
His family had been slaves for generations. His ancestors had also become the king's guards. Until his generation, he was sent here early to guard this small stone room. He remembered an old man who used to read notes to him. Before he died, he told him that one day, the current system would be replaced by another system.
During this time, he could not go out, but he could feel the changes in the palace of Snowfield City. He could speculate a lot of things based on other people's conversations. He also had an intuition that Snowfield City was in danger!
He had just said to Shao Xuan that "there is not much time left". He was not only talking about himself, but also alluding to Snowfield City.
While the old slave was meditating, on the other side, Shao Xuan, who had left the stone room, quietly looked around. There were not many people around. Probably because there were no slave owners living nearby, he did not see anyone except for some routine patrols.
Shao Xuan entered from the main entrance of the palace. As for the place to leave, he planned to escape from the back door or other side doors.
The palace was surrounded by high and thick walls. There were people guarding inside and outside. Shao Xuan could not easily get out. He could only look at other side doors.
Sneaking in, Shao Xuan suddenly had a sense of crisis of being watched.
Was he exposed?!
He quickly looked around and fixed his eyes on one place.
There was a tree there, and on one of its branches hung an oval object not much bigger than a fist. At this time, the oval thing on the branch was stretching out, the rolled up body elongated, and the retracted wings spread out. The nose, which was almost as long as the rest of the body, unfolded and elongated, pointing straight at Shao Xuan's position.
Bi Luo!
Shao Xuan thought of the creatures mentioned by the blind old slave.
"If you are not stared at by them, you can rarely escape." This was the old slave's evaluation of the Bi Luo.
Shao Xuan did not waste any more time and ran away.
He wanted to kill the Bi Luo first, but he had noticed that there were other similar sights around, indicating that there were many hidden Bi Luos nearby, and they were all focused on him!
The Bi Luos in the palace were not all around the king's palace. Some of them found a quiet place to sleep. Unexpectedly, they met Shao Xuan and recognized that Shao Xuan was not a native of the city.
Beep –
A sharp whistle-like sound was emitted from the Bi Luo's long nose.
This was like a signal, and the other Bi Luos around also made a sound and flew in the direction of Shao Xuan's escape.
The guards around heard the sound and all gathered in the place where the Bi Luo was, shouting, "Someone is invading!"
However, Shao Xuan's speed was also fast. He already knew where the nearest door was and went straight there.
There were no other slave owners living around, and the king and the young masters raised several giant beasts around here.
At this time, a snowfield young master was watching the slaves helping him train the giant beasts. When he heard that someone was invading, and it seemed that there was only one person, he immediately became excited. This was an opportunity to make a contribution!
"Go! Go and catch the intruder! "
The other slaves who followed felt bitter. Catching the intruder was the job of the guards. Why did you, a young master, have to get involved? But when the master went over, the slaves couldn't just stand by and watch. They could only grit their teeth and follow.
Shao Xuan was like a sharp knife, splitting the encirclement in front of him. Listening to the movement behind him, he caught a glimpse of a large stone that was nearly as tall as a person. It was engraved with the words "Beast Garden".
Shao Xuan didn't care whether it was the Beast Garden or the Human Garden. He picked up the stone that was nearly as tall as a person, turned around and threw it out!
Because the young master was chasing with the giant beast, some guards didn't dare to get too close for fear of being accidentally injured by the giant beast. The rampaging giant beast roared as if it wanted to flatten everything. However, it didn't wait for long before a stone was thrown in its face. Its nose was hit hard, and it suddenly had a nosebleed. Its footsteps were a little staggered. Its feet were tripped by something, and its two front legs fell heavily to the ground. Its body continued to move forward and hit a row of houses.
Boom! Boom!
The houses here were not the reinforced walls of the Colosseum. Under the violent impact of the giant beast, they instantly fell down.
Seeing this scene, the other slaves were full of disbelief. Unexpectedly … unexpectedly, they directly threw such a big stone like a ball!
Although there was no lack of strong people among the slaves, it was not so exaggerated. Compared with the person who just threw the stone at the giant beast, it was still a little worse.
The young slave owner who fell from the giant beast didn't care about the injuries on his body. He shouted, "Tie that man up for me, I want him to be my slave!"
There were a lot of guards shooting arrows around, but Shao Xuan's speed was fast. Coupled with the chaos just now, he didn't wait for the guards in other places to come. He was already close to the back door of the palace.
