This was the Rich-Lush Kingdom. Although it was called the Rich-Lush Kingdom, it was actually the wish of the royal family. Because more than three-quarters of the Rich-Lush Kingdom was desert, the sun was extremely hot. It was not easy to build an ideal Rich-Lush Kingdom in the desert.
On this day, at the northeast border of the Rich-Lush Kingdom.
The scorching sun scorched Oasis Town. Even the residents who had lived here for generations did not dare to expose themselves to the sun at noon … except for the refugees.
The northeast of the Rich-Lush Kingdom was next to the Evernight Kingdom.
Now that the Evernight Kingdom had changed, several large cities with more than a million people had fallen, causing countless refugees to appear. The country's political power had been overturned in a short time, and the refugees had no home to return to.
The refugees in the center of the country were the most miserable. They had no means of transportation, and might not be able to leave the Evernight Kingdom for the rest of their lives.
The refugees at the border had it slightly better, as they could cross the border and seek survival in other countries.
Arthur and Merlin were refugees who had escaped from the Evernight Kingdom to the Rich-Lush Kingdom. They had been friends since they were young, and their relationship had always been good. They were not brothers, but they were closer than brothers.
They had been in the oasis town for a month, but four hours ago, they were fired by the owner of a bar. The reason was … Merlin, as a blind man, accidentally knocked over a wine barrel.
Before that, they were working for free in the bar, just to fill their stomachs and have a place to stay at night and noon. Therefore, they had no money to pay for the lost money.
The owner was angry and kicked Merlin out. Arthur saw his friend being humiliated, and his words were a little harsh, but he was also kicked out of the bar.
The two of them were hiding under a withered tree to avoid the scorching sun.
However, the effect was not great.
The night here was extremely cold, and noon was extremely hot. The cold could kill people, and the heat could evaporate people.
Under such extreme temperatures, they were somewhat desperate.
"It's all my fault. I dragged you into this." Merlin whispered silently, his expression desperate and self-blaming.
When he was kicked out of the bar, Arthur had a moment of regret, but compared to this, he cared more about his friend's dignity being trampled on.
"You didn't do anything wrong. What's wrong is that we were born in such an era." Arthur reached out his dry hand and patted Merlin's shoulder, his mouth dry.
"Maybe we shouldn't have left our hometown." Merlin regretted leaving his hometown. Even though something had happened to his hometown, a huge dome had enveloped the city and was spreading continuously. However, no one knew what was going on under the dome. Perhaps there was no evil under the dome, and madness was another form of release.
Arthur: "I regret too. Dying in my hometown, at least I'll be closer to my parents. If I die here, I'll be in its stomach … "
There was a scavenger Vulture Vulture, and Was Vulture.... Once they died Vulture Vulture King, Vulture Vulture Vulture.
The sun was getting hotter and hotter. Arthur and Merlin's mouths were already dry and their vision was blurry.
In fact, the lake in Oasis Town was just a short distance away.
. and Merlin Lake lake King king king king was was.. Vulture Lush King king,, kingdom,, the King King king,, the Is'... and Merlin...............
They became weaker and weaker. Their vision gradually turned white, and they began to hallucinate.
Arthur said in a low voice, "At least I won't be alone before I die …"
Merlin wanted to respond, but he could not speak. He could only nod his head with all his might.
Just as they were about to die, a cool breeze suddenly swept over from afar. At the same time, water droplets fell from the sky.
The water droplets fell into their mouths, moistening their dry lips. The cool breeze also dispelled the heat that lingered on the side.
Merlin: "It's not hot anymore. It's so cool … And the water, it's so cold. Could it be that I'm already dead? Is this the world after death? But why can't I see anything? "
Merlin's muttering gave Arthur some strength. He looked up at the sky. "You're not dead. The dark clouds are coming. I think it's …"
Arthur was about to say "rain" when he suddenly froze.
There were no dark clouds in the sky, nor was there any "rain". Instead, there was a huge shadow flashing with sparkling light.
"What's that?" Arthur asked himself in a low voice.
Merlin: "Arthur … What are you talking about?"
Arthur was stunned. He mumbled, "It's not dark clouds, and it's not rain. There's a huge … Eh, is that an iceberg? No, why does the Guild Leader have wings? Is this an illusion? "
It was a pair of wide, frosty wings with a length of a hundred meters.
Every time it flapped its wings, bits of glowing ice crystals would fall from the sky. The rain they felt earlier was the water droplets from these ice crystals.
"What kind of monster is this?" Arthur frowned and looked up. Suddenly, his pupils shrank. "There's someone up there! And, there are so many of them … "
"Who?" Merlin asked curiously.
"I can't see clearly, but I think they're all wearing white cloaks. There's a pattern on the cloaks, like a crescent moon. I can't see it clearly …"
While Arthur was exclaiming, the scavenger vulture on the tree behind them was also curious about the iceberg in the sky. It flapped its wings and flew toward the iceberg.
However, just as the scavenger vulture approached the iceberg, it was hit by the frosty wings. Before it could find the right direction, it was frozen into an ice sculpture and fell from the sky.
The iceberg swept past and soon disappeared in the northeast. Logically speaking, even if an iceberg melted in Oasis Town, it would not bring much coldness, let alone a flash.
However, the strange thing was that after the iceberg swept past, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped.
It did not rise for a long time.
Arthur witnessed this miraculous scene and turned to Merlin. "These people, why are they sitting on the iceberg? Why can the iceberg fly?"
Merlin's expression was slightly strange. After a while, he suddenly said, "That group of people should be the legendary Wizards."
"Wizards?" Arthur looked at Merlin, puzzled.
Merlin said, "Wizards are a group of very evil people. They have the power to resist everything. They can even manipulate nature and move mountains and seas … "
Merlin slowly explained about Wizards, but he did not know that Arthur's eyes were getting brighter as he listened to his explanation.
"Wizards are too powerful! If I become a Wizard, no one will dare to bully us anymore, right? " Arthur exclaimed a few times, his eyes shining. "Do you know how to become a Wizard?"
Merlin's expression was somewhat gloomy. He shook his head. "I don't know. Don't think about it. We don't even know how to live now …"
Arthur smiled slyly. "We might have died before, but now, it's not certain."
Arthur found the frozen scavenger vulture on a sand dune not far away. He excitedly dragged it to Merlin. "Let's sell this scavenger vulture and we'll have money! I heard from the Camel Caravan that the crown of this scavenger vulture is worth one gold coin! When the time comes, our lives will be better … "
Although Merlin could not see, he could feel the biting cold air emitted by the scavenger vulture.
He laughed. "That's great. Living is better than anything."
Arthur was also feeling silly. He had thought that today would be the anniversary of their deaths, but who would have thought that things would take such a turn … Moreover, he had heard rumors about Magi. If one day, he could become a Magus, how wonderful would that be?
Arthur thought of this and could not help but smile until his eyes became crescent moons.
Suddenly, Arthur thought of a question. "That's right, I haven't asked you. How do you know about Wizards?"
Merlin was startled and frowned.
After a while, he said softly, "I've seen a Wizard before."
"You've seen a Wizard?" Arthur was pleasantly surprised. "Then can you tell me what the Wizard looked like? Where did he come from? Can we still find him? "
Merlin replied, "He was a stooped old man with many eyes on his body."
"An old man with many eyes? It sounds a little creepy. "After Arthur finished speaking, he said in hindsight," Eh? How do you know he had many eyes? Aren't your eyes … "
Merlin laughed bitterly and reached out with a trembling hand. He touched his eye sockets. "Didn't you ask me what happened five years ago? Why did my eyes suddenly go blind?"
Arthur heard Merlin's words and seemed to have guessed something. Five years ago, Merlin disappeared for half a month and lost his eyes when he came back. No matter who asked him, Merlin did not answer. This was also Arthur's question.
"Could it be?"
Merlin said, "That's right. My eyes were gouged out by that old man … I clearly remember that he gouged out my left eye and put it in between his eyebrows. After that, he gouged out my right eye. I don't know where he put it, but he told me that it was in front of my chest."
Arthur interrupted Merlin when he saw that he was about to continue.
"Don't talk about it. It's all in the past." Arthur wanted to slap himself. Why did he ask this question? How could he be so blind?
Merlin said, "It doesn't matter. Just as you said, it's all in the past."
Arthur clenched his fist and said angrily, "If I didn't follow my father to the suburbs five years ago and was with you, this wouldn't have happened."
Merlin said, "This is fate. It can't be changed."
Arthur still wanted to argue, but suddenly, a charming female voice interrupted their conversation. "That's right. This little kid is right. This is fate. It can't be changed."
Arthur turned around abruptly, only to see a woman in a thick leather windbreaker appear behind them.
The woman's figure was extremely graceful and her appearance was also indescribably beautiful. However, the only strange thing was that she was wearing a thick leather windbreaker on such a hot day.
Beside the woman, there was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy wearing a brown and black checkered hat. He had thick dark circles under his eyes and pale pink lips.
"Who are you?" Arthur asked cautiously.
The woman flipped her long brown hair and said flirtatiously, "I'm just a passerby accompanying my master. Don't mind me."
After saying that, the woman winked at the young man beside her.
The veins on the boy's forehead throbbed. "Change back to your real face."
"No, don't you like this look the most?" The woman was unwilling.
"I don't. You're spouting nonsense. I don't like it!" The boy angrily rebuked.
The woman chuckled and waved her hand. A long pipe appeared in her hand out of thin air. She made a smoking gesture and winked at him again. "This pipe is the same model as hers."
The boy angrily scolded, "If you have this kind of attitude again, I'll burn you!"
Seeing that her master was really angry, the woman shook her body and turned into a scholarly man wearing a thick leather windbreaker.
While the boy and his servant were talking, Arthur's mood was indescribable. Summoning a pipe out of thin air, a woman turning into a man … All these seemed to indicate the identity of the two people in front of him.
"Are you wizards?" Arthur asked doubtfully.
The scholarly man shook his head. "My master is an apprentice wizard. I'm just a spirit."
Arthur's throat was dry and he was speechless for a moment.
"You …" Arthur paused. "You said that Merlin's eyes were gouged out by fate? Why? "
The scholarly man smiled. "It's simple. Because he was born with an innate talent. His eyes are the source of his vision. He was destined to be targeted by other Extraordinaries. After all, the rejection of transplanting human eyes is much smaller than other species. "
