Chapter 862 -528: Desert Caravan_2
Blais shook his head slightly, but didn’t say anything more.
In his view, although Duan has good talent, his parents have taken too much care of him, so he lacks experience.
However, this is something that requires time to accumulate. Traveling with the merchant caravan for a while will help a lot.
Blais didn’t want to explain anything to Duan. Many things need to be discovered by himself, to find the answers.
Appearing alone in the desert, severely injured but unharmed, how could such a person be simple?
Not only did Blais agree to let Lis join the caravan, but he also specifically arranged a camel for him to ride, so he could quickly recover his strength and injuries.
In the desert, this special terrain, carriages simply cannot be used, and camels are the most important property for a caravan.
Every camel is quite precious, most of them carry goods and supplies, so making an exception to give a camel to Lis is quite rare.
Many people in the caravan understood Blais’s arrangement without saying much.
Only a young man like Duan not only didn’t understand the intricacies but also actively asked Blais, the caravan manager.
A moment later, Duan walked over to Lis with a bowl of steaming soup.
It was made of easy-to-carry potatoes, carrots, and some special spices, served with dry bread, a pretty good meal while traveling.
At this moment, Lis was sitting in a corner of the temporary camp, leaning against a camel that was lying on the ground, chewing cud, while he seemed to be studying the night sky.
“Mr. Lis, I brought your dinner.”
Duan gently placed the food in front of Lis and said.
Although Duan seemed a bit displeased with Lis in front of Blais just now, he didn’t show his inner emotions directly in front of Lis.
He still had a bit of composure.
Lis looked down at Duan, nodded slightly, and said:
“Thank you.”
This kind of food couldn’t compare to Lis’s previous dinners, but Lis didn’t mind; he even found it quite interesting. This desert-style food had a unique charm for him.
After waiting for a while, Lis noticed that Duan hadn’t left but was quietly squatting in front of him, so he smiled and said:
“Do you have something else?”
“Yes, I do, Mr. Lis.”
Duan simply sat cross-legged in front of Lis, holding his head with both hands, and looked at Lis as he asked:
“Mr. Lis, are you a powerful Professional?”
“Why do you say so?”
Feeling curious, Lis stood up to stretch and asked Duan.
It had been the third day since he arrived in the desert.
On the second day, Lis encountered this merchant caravan traveling in the desert and figured out his current location.
He was currently in the very center of the Western Desert, the most desolate place.
And the temple of the God of Fantasy and Knowledge, Azus, was located around Kale City in the south of the desert.
Lis joined the caravan halfway as it was heading south across the desert.
Stretching his muscles, Lis had almost fully recovered from his injuries after three days.
This recovery was influenced by Space Power.
Otherwise, as long as he wasn’t missing any limbs, Lis could fully recover from even the most severe injuries in a day.
However, at the same time, Lis found it impossible to use Spells.
After trying many methods without success, Lis could only wait for the one-month period to pass.
The good news was that Lis could now barely use some Magic Power. Although he still couldn’t construct Magic Models, he had no problem accessing items in his storage ring.
It was precisely because he was worried about such a situation that Lis had stored a lot of supplies in his storage ring.
If not for wanting to get through this month and reach the temple in full condition, Lis would have gone to his destination directly after determining his position.
“Because it’s strange for you to appear there alone!”
“We’ve traveled for so long and haven’t seen anyone traveling alone except at the oasis.”
Duke said to Lis:
“Moreover, were you being chased by others and ended up so battered?”
“You could say that.”
Lis nodded and replied with a smile:
“I barely escaped from a Legend.”
If it wasn’t for that last strike by Andrew, he wouldn’t be here now.
“Nonsense!”
Duan’s eyes widened in disbelief.
He felt that Lis was treating him like a child.
Could he have really escaped from a Legend’s grasp and dare to say such a thing!
In the endless desert, the status of a Legendary Crown was even more revered compared to other places on the Fanor Continent.
City-states having Legendary Strongmen were the safest places in this land!
“See, you don’t believe it when I tell you.”
Lis shook his head and started to savor the food in front of him.
Dry bread soaked in the soup, becoming soft and having a very nice texture.
“Mr. Lis, can you teach me?”
“I want to become stronger!”
Duke looked at Lis calmly, not knowing why he always felt that although this young man in front of him was not very old, he exuded the aura of a strong person.
This feeling was similar to what he felt from the City Lord back home—a sense of calmness and control over everything.
“You don’t believe me, so why do you want me to teach you?”
“Shouldn’t you ask Blais, who seems to have a good relationship with you and is a Gold-level Warrior?”
Looking at the still youthful Duke, Lis became slightly more interested.
“Uncle Blais values you greatly. I think you must be a capable person!”
Duke thought for a moment and then spoke frankly with Lis.
“Haha, is that so!”
Lis smiled softly and didn’t respond.
In his past life’s memory, there was no character with this name, but he didn’t care much.
To be honest, when Lis was first reborn into Gaia World, he was thrilled to meet those important NPCs.
Especially when meeting younger versions of future strong figures, Lis had a sense of wanting to recruit them.
But as Lis’s strength grew, that feeling gradually faded.
After all, he felt his current strength had surpassed the power those strong figures would have after their growth.
Even against Taya and Risa, Lis was confident he could defeat them now.
Lis was quite confident about breaking through to Legend level, and he had his sights set on more distant goals.
Regarding other issues, Lis was more laid-back.
“So, do you agree?”
Duke had been waiting for a long time and couldn’t help but ask again when he didn’t see any response from Lis.
“Of course, but it depends on your performance and whether you’re worth my effort.”
Lis leaned back against the camel and said with a smile.
“I won’t let you down!”
Duke said confidently:
“How will you test me?”
Lis’s lips curved upward slightly, pointing toward the desert below.
“Go find Blais and tell him to watch out for the sandworms approaching below.”
“If you perform well, I’ll teach you a suitable Skill.”
“What? Sandworms!”
Duke immediately stood up upon hearing this.
“Are you joking?”
“I’m not so idle. Hurry up, there’s not much time.”
Receiving a definite response, Duke dared not delay and quickly ran toward Blais’s direction.
In the desert, a few creatures pose the greatest danger to the caravan.
Among them, sandworms are the most troublesome.
It’s not because they are the strongest, but because sandworms usually burrow under the dunes, making it hard to detect their presence. Their high stealth ability allows them to ambush and hunt the creatures above the dunes suddenly.
Especially for the caravan, these sandworms pose the greatest threat to the crew and camels.
