Lord of the Desert

Chapter 43
"The year of the New Era, calculated according to the chronology of the book just now, is 200 years ago."

Hong Fan compared it with the calendar to calculate the specific time.

"It's no wonder that the earliest person recorded in "Golden Sea Star Monarch" was only 180 years ago."

"So, what's written on it is true?"

He put down "Fate Star Examination", took out several possibly related books again, and browsed them one by one.

A quarter of an hour later, Hong Fan threw away the books and sat down on the ground.

On the "Dahua Customs" spread out beside him, I remember it clearly.

[When it comes to the Dragon Calling Festival, the people of Shenjing are all looking forward to it.

In three or four years, Zulong should choose one to answer, and swim out of the Dragon Palace among the lights.

It is night, and millions of people see the splendor. 】

"The last time I saw Zulong at the Dragon Summoning Festival was Zhenghe 24 years ago, that is, three years ago..."

Hong Fan murmured.

"So, there are really dragons and gods in this world?"

For a moment, the snake man covered in scales and yellow eyes, the martial artist who drives his true energy and burns wood with empty palms, and the legendary images of martial saints, gods, and ancestral dragons all circled and danced in his heart.

When the distracting thoughts gradually subsided, Hong Fan returned the book to its original place, only to remember that Haifei's information had not been checked yet.

But at this time, the leader of the Golden Sea Sand Pirates, who had worried him so much, could no longer cause any waves.

[Sea flying:

In the 22nd year of Zhenghe, it was created by Wan Guangji, a 'splitting knife'.

In the 24th year of Zhenghe, Wan Guangji entered the realm of sympathy between heaven and man.

In the 25th year of Zhenghe, Hai Haifei annexed Sand Snake, Dilong, and Pangolin, three groups of bandits. From the leader down, there were three from the Hunran Realm, [-] from the Guantong Realm, and more than [-] minions.

In the 27th year of Zhenghe, Haifei occupied more than fifteen desert supply points, and had activities in all directions of the Jinhai Desert, which was two hundred miles away. 】

Haifei's files are even cruder than imagined.

But Hong Fan had already got what he wanted the most.

According to the cross-verification of multiple documents such as "Fate Star Test", he determined that the inheritance of Fate Star did not involve human effort, even Zulong, the giver of power, never interfered.

That being the case, Sand World can be exposed at any time, which is equivalent to more than doubling his apparent combat power.

After leaving the file room, Hong Fan rubbed his face fiercely in a place where no one was around, and walked into the middle hall.

By flipping through the archives, he made indirect remarks on Wen Zhongguan and Qian Hong, and calmly confirmed the core content of "Shen Ling Ji" and "Fate Star Test".

According to the two, in Xijing City alone, there are dozens of people who have seen Zulong in Shenjing.

Now, he couldn't help but not believe it anymore.

"Okay, okay, the thousand-foot-long five-clawed golden dragon came from outside the sky."

After leaving the prison office, Hong Fan walked down the road with his head down, talking to himself in a low voice.

"I thought it was a feudal society, a pre-industrial era; now it's okay, the imperial court established diplomatic relations with aliens 2000 years ago."

"After turning around, I turned into a primitive person..."

He laughed at himself, relieving the pressure a little bit by joking.

Crossing the long street, Hong Fan's feeling of being at a loss gradually receded.

Instead, there is a strong sense of crisis buried underneath.

Relying on the ability of life star to establish.

The authority to grow through killing.

Xingjun, whose lifespan is as normal as that of ordinary people.

The tradition of unified burial after death.

[So is this the savior who mercifully spreads authority to the world, or is extraterrestrial life coming from afar to raise chickens on another planet? 】

Hong Fan laughed softly.

Out of the inspiration of raising his head to look like a god, he didn't say the last sentence.

[The star king's combat power has improved rapidly, and every battle must increase. It was once rumored in Jinhai that the fate star can restrain the soul. 】

Hong Fan will be able to confirm the truth of this statement in two days.

······
Two days later, August [-]th.

It was not yet daylight.

Hong Fan put some manuscripts prepared in advance on the bookshelves, and pressed a half-written thesis on the desk with a paperweight.

The content of the thesis is "L'Hopital's Law".

L'Hopital's method is a method to determine the value of the indefinite form by deriving the numerator and denominator separately under certain conditions and then finding the limit. It is an important achievement in calculus at the end of the seventeenth century.

Hong Fan had thought about choosing it as his next thesis.

There was a saying in the previous life, "One step ahead is a genius, two steps ahead is a lunatic".

Although this is not entirely true, it is also very reasonable.

In terms of mathematics and physics, the traveler certainly has a lot of shocking results to output, but he must consider the foundation needed to make these results.

If you accidentally build a castle in the air, the chief supervisor of the Qizuojian and the magicians will definitely find the clues.

After breakfast, Hong Fan bid farewell to Aunt Liu who couldn't hide his worry, and went out with a full set of equipment.

At the beginning of Chenshi (seven o'clock in the morning), everyone met at the West City Gate.

Hong Ming leads the team, and the next three ten-member teams are from the three major families.

After the appointment, there were a total of 33 people, and no one was late.

Dozens of elite soldiers armed to the teeth and leaning on horses gathered in one place, making the entire west gate extremely quiet.

Not to mention the people who came and went, even the soldiers guarding the gate unconsciously silenced their voices, and mostly expressed their meaning with gestures.

Seeing this, Hong Lie smiled, patted Shen Hong and Hong Fan on the shoulders, and signaled them to follow.

The three of them first went to the city gate to find a sergeant, chatted and joked, begged for a ladle of drinking water, and then stopped an old man who had just entered the city to buy a dozen hot pancakes.

"These fresh pancakes are not bad, if there is still space in my belly, I will try them..."

Hong Lie came back with the pancakes in his hands, and quickly divided them up like smoke from later generations.

After more than a dozen pieces of cooking cakes were torn apart by the elites of the three families, the passers-by seemed to confirm that these armored and evil-looking men were also made of flesh and blood, and they regained their former vitality.

"Gentlemen, wait a moment, the caravan has finished loading the cars, and it will take half an hour at most to get here."

Not long after, a member of Chi's family rushed to report the news, and sent back after speaking.

After about eight or nine minutes, a convoy of ten carts as the core arrived at the west gate, with the banner of Chi being erected on the front and rear of the carts.

Around the convoy were guarded by more than a dozen knights, and the cart was pulled by a half-bull, half-camel-like monster "Cow Camel", which Hong Fan had never seen before.

The old man who led the team rode on a horse, met Hong Mingyao's eyes, and led the team out of the city.

After waiting for another stick of incense, Hong Fan and the others had to get on their horses and set off solemnly under the fearful eyes of everyone.

When the city wall gradually shrunk behind them, and there were no pedestrians beside them, the thirty or so men on horseback relaxed their expressions and started talking and laughing.

After chatting for a quarter of an hour, the green gradually faded, and the Gobi replaced the soil.

The ground bulges upwards, and the road breaks at the top of the barren hill.

"Golden Sea has arrived." Hong Lie said.

"Where is it?" Hong Fan asked.

"Underfoot."

Shen Hong laughed, his legs lightly pinched the horse's belly.

Everyone rode their horses and set foot on the top of the barren hill.

The boundless sea of ​​sand greets us face to face.

When Hong Fan looked over, he saw golden yellow without a trace of variegation suddenly hit his eyes, spreading all the way to the sky.

He reined in his horse, his field of vision was covered by the blue sky and the yellow earth, he felt his body numb for a moment, and he couldn't speak.

"Why, do you look stupid?"

Shen Hong laughed.

But he didn't know that the stream of memories in the traveler's heart was passing by the tall buildings in the magic city, the Great Wall, and the shore of West Lake at this time...

Hong Fan had been to many places in his previous life, but he had never been to the desert.

"I haven't been in Jinhai, so I can't say I'm from Jinhai City."

Hong Lie rode his horse closer and teased,

"Ashamed, ashamed."

After a while, Hong Fan casually covered it up.

"Fan only knew today that the mountains and rivers are vast, and there are really thousands of miles..."

He deliberately laughed, rode his horse downhill before everyone, and quietly hid the sadness in his eyes.
