Although Li Ke had decided to set foot on the land of Shurima a long time ago, he couldn't help but feel emotional when he saw the endless sand in front of him. The scenery here was really like the sea. It was so monotonous that it made one's hair stand on end. Apart from the sand, there was only the blue sky. It was hard to even find a rock in this place.
Although he could feel the vastness of the land, vastness was something that only modern humans liked on a large scale. In most cases, vast and uninhabited land could only be called barren.
They eventually chose to return because what they saw after passing by Giant God Peak wasn't a desert, but towering mountains that reached into the clouds. There were also Shurima people who dressed completely differently from the Shurima people. And if they wanted to land in this area, they would have to climb over a snowy mountain.
So Li Ke and the others decisively returned.
"It looks like a cruel place."
Watching the yellow sand move slowly under the wind on the sand dunes in the distance, Li Ke waited for Sarah to buy the supplies they needed. Meanwhile, he guarded Baru to prevent him from causing any more trouble. Su Rian said that the most reasonable method was to kill him. But unfortunately, Baru refused to tell him the method to open the secret chamber, so Li Ke didn't kill him.
Moreover, Rhode promised that he would let him go after he found the secret chamber.
"Yes, compared to other places, this place is indeed too desolate."
Drizzt replied to Li Ke. He was playing cards with the Scarash peddler and trying to worm his way into being friends with him, hoping to get a discount.
"Back then, Afu and I came here to search for treasures. In the end, the two of us almost died of boredom. There are too few things here. It's too boring."
Drizzt yawned. He was too lazy to take the Scarash dealer's poor card skills seriously. That was why he could talk to Li Ke while playing cards.
"In Birgivot, as long as you walk a little further in the King's Upper Zone, you will see three casinos, two taverns, and some beautiful ladies' residences in just two steps. But here … Ha …"
On the other side, Graves also let out a mocking laugh.
"You can only find a place to play in the most prosperous cities. Besides, you don't have a choice. After being kicked out of a casino, you won't have anywhere else to play. "
After saying that, he yawned and put all his cards in front of the Scarash dealer who thought he had already won the game. The Scarash peddler stared unwillingly at his cards and couldn't help but look back and forth at Drizzt's repulsive face. He even doubted his life.
He only had two cards left!
"Alright, you've lost, buddy. You don't have to look anymore. I already knew what card you had when you played. You don't have to struggle anymore."
Drizzt didn't hide his disdain and pride towards this Scarash peddler who didn't want to lose. This peddler was too weak and he couldn't be bothered to show him any respect. The camel dealer didn't seem to be angry. It was as if his card skills had completely conquered the boss.
"You damned Sea Dweller. Alright, I'll accept my loss. I'll give you the best Scarash. Come, I'll pick one for you."
The camel dealer shook his head and put away his cards. Then, he waved at the mustached man and led the proud Drizzt and the yawning Graves to pick a camel.
"Then we'll take our leave first."
After waving at Li Ke, Drizzt and the other dealer went to buy Scarash. As for why he was the one to buy it? The reason was simple. Li Ke was too extravagant and she felt a little heartache. Therefore, she sent Drizzt and Graves who mingled in the lower levels to buy mounts.
Although this way, she wouldn't be able to save much money. However, she wouldn't have to feel heartache about her purse drying up because of Li Ke's extravagant spending. After all, she had seen how Li Ke spent his money. As long as the other side offered a price, he would fork out money. He didn't have the slightest intention of saving money. He also didn't show any signs of negotiating the price. He would pay whatever price the other side offered.
Sarah hated this kind of behavior. When she asked Li Ke how to solve the problem of not having enough money, Li Ke replied, "If it's not excessive and malicious, I will think of ways to make money. If it's malicious …"
Li Ke didn't continue. But according to Li Ke's usual behavior, Sarah easily imagined him going on a killing spree and killing everyone around him. Then, he would get the goods he wanted. And it was indeed as she thought. If Li Ke found out that the other side was treating him like a rich tycoon, he would give them a chance and directly rob them.
This was his habit. If it wasn't necessary, he would do it. Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, Sarah sent Drizzt and Graves to replace Li Ke to shop.
However, Li Ke wasn't doing nothing. He stood at the entrance of this coastal port town and admired the sandstorm. In fact, he was using his own ears to listen to the surrounding sounds. Without too much interference, he could hear whispers from nearly 300 meters away.
"Although it's a taboo to not inquire about what customers are doing, you'd better be careful if you're heading east. Several caravans have been captured in that area, and none of them managed to escape."
This was the words of a shop owner who was buying weapons to his customers.
"Did you hear? The King is sending people to investigate? "
This was the words of a vendor.
"Recently, many Noxus people have appeared around here. Are we going to be invaded by the Noxus people like the other places?"
This was the conversation of two soldiers who were obviously uneasy.
"… The price of food has increased again."
"Yeah, I really don't know when these days will come to an end. Moreover, the Overlord has raised taxes again. If we add the war tax …"
This was the conversation of two townsfolk who were buying vegetables.
After Li Ke injected his vitality into his ears, his hearing could cover the entire town. He could even hear the 'live broadcast' of Drizzt being bitten by a Scalash and Graves being spat on by a Scalash.
Of course, he could also hear the heartbeat of the woman who had been sleeping in his room recently. When he opened his eyes, he saw Sarah walking towards him with two weather-beaten people. Among the two people, the one who was obviously younger was holding the hand of Scarash. Moreover, there were some strange things on the Scalash. The strangest thing was the pole that was fixed to the tall Scalash.
Moreover, the younger one was carrying a huge package that Sarah had bought.
"Alright, let's wait for those two bastards to prepare their mounts and we can set off."
Sarah, who was dressed in desert style clothes, came to Li Ke's side and threw a package to Li Ke. After Li Ke opened it, he found that there was a white desert robe in the package. The only downside was that it was too suitable. There was almost no need to choose.
"Your new clothes, do you like them?"
At this moment, the woman who touched Li Ke's body asked with a smile.
