Master of Spells from Faerun

Chapter 70 The Bedai Barbarians in the Oasis
While riding a bean bag, Imrik turned his head to look at the speed of the sandstorm. In the face of such natural disasters, his strength was so weak that even with the Book of Endlessness, he was helpless.

Fortunately, they were spotted far from the sandstorm, which gave them enough time to escape.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, there was no sign of an oasis other than yellow sand in front of him. The sandstorm was already visible to the naked eye.

"Cough cough, and, cough cough, how far away!" Gasangrui coughed from the sand and yelled at the hunchbacked man.

"It's here! Cough cough, look! It's an oasis!" At this time, Domila shouted excitedly from the side.

Sure enough, in the vision blurred by the yellow sand, there was a looming piece of green in front of him.

Everyone seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and hurried forward at a faster speed.

Imrik raised a ball of water to cover his face. He blessed himself with underwater breathing, and breathing through water filtration was much more comfortable than them.

The oasis is getting closer and closer, and its true face is also revealed to everyone. A green lake is surrounded by many palm trees, and there is a stone fort by the lake, with a flag with the word "razor" on it.

Perhaps because of the approach of a large number of people, a few muscular men with bare upper body and leather shorts walked out of the stone castle. They also wore hats with feathers on their heads, and several horizontal lines were painted on their faces with oil paint.

"Do you have a pass!" The strong man in the lead asked in a rough voice.

Gassanrui quickly showed them a badge with a flattering smile. The man nodded after seeing it, and said, "Every person who enters the fortress gets a gold coin, and the tauren also counts!"

Gassanrui looked back with pain, and there were more than 20 people in this car, and he had to pay more than [-] gold coins.

He gritted his teeth, took out the gold coin and handed it to the other party. The man glanced at it, then turned around and shouted in satisfaction, "Let the door go!"

The gate of the stone castle opened slowly, and everyone quickly hid in.

There were many young men in the same attire and young women in animal dresses in the castle, and they all ignored everyone coming and going.

Imrik shook off the yellow sand stained on the cloak, and observed the decorations around the stone castle with great interest, including animal head specimens, oil lamps, animal skin carpets, and stone floors. This building was filled with a kind of primitive beauty.

"These people must be the Bedai barbarians." Imrik looked back at the strong man who brought them in. Apart from the blue dragon, those who can open up their own territory in this desert are probably the nomads in these deserts - the Bedai barbarians.

The strong man looked back at them and said with a big smile, "Welcome everyone, Lishi Plain."

Ennook is not a constant desert landscape. Although outsiders always imagine it as a simple and huge desert, it is actually composed of a series of continuous deserts of different types: from dry sand and dust belts to savannahs covered with weathered gravel, then to frozen tundra areas and desolate mountain areas, and finally to the huge glacial area known as the "Supreme Glacier".

Standing Stone Plains is next to the Ezhehart Mountains, and in addition to the desolate hills around it, there are huge caves inhabited by dangerous Ethiopian lizardmen.

"It's not easy for these Bedai barbarians to occupy a place here. The people standing behind, no, may not even be human." Imrik lowered his eyes.

The people in the caravan found an open space and sat down to rest their feet, waiting for the arrival of the sandstorm. Generally speaking, the buildings next to this kind of oasis have inns, but the rooms are extremely expensive. A room costs ten gold coins, or even dozens of gold coins, which is not affordable for ordinary people.

Imrekla asked a passing barbarian woman, "Do you have a restaurant open here?"

The barbarian woman smiled and said, "We have a tavern here, which provides food."

The black-robed mage nodded. Although the salted fish was delicious, he was tired of eating it after so many days, so why not change it.

When he came to the tavern in the stone castle, Imrik picked up the menu and looked at it. Good guy, there is nothing less than three gold coins.

"Well, give me a serving of Shalu meat and a glass of fruit wine." Imric ordered two dishes from the waiter next to him. Shalu meat cost 7 gold coins, and Sand fruit wine cost 3 gold coins. The total cost was ten gold coins.

After a while, the food was brought up. Looking at the scorched and fragrant unknown barbecue on the plate, Rick couldn't help but move his index finger. After taking a bite, the outside was charred and the inside was tender, and there was a special aroma.

While Imrik was concentrating on enjoying the food, suddenly, like an earthquake, the outside walls shook, and some dust even fell from the ceiling.

Obviously, the sandstorm had already approached the outside of the stone fortress, and its huge scale even shook the stone fortress.

Suddenly, Imrik heard a faint noise coming from outside. He wiped his mouth with a Jinpa, stood up and walked out.

Back in the lobby, he found that the group of Bedai barbarians had confronted the convoy. Jerome blushed rarely and started arguing with the other party.

Seeing Imrik approaching, Jerome suffocated suddenly, and said embarrassingly, "That Imrik, I'm sorry, it's all my fault for taking out the endless water bag. These barbarians saw it and wanted to buy and sell it."

Imrik sighed. He didn't know what to think of the IQ of the paladins. This group of Bedai barbarians obviously relied on the water resources of this oasis to extort food. If you take out a strange object that can produce unlimited water resources, the other party will not be greedy.

Jerome hurriedly continued: "Don't worry, I will never let them take your water bag."

Domila was also yelling and cursing in a rough voice: "You group of money-seeking things have already said they won't be sold, what do you want to do!"

The strong man in the lead said with a sneer: "In this oasis, there is nothing that I can't count on. Don't sell it? Then don't blame me for stealing it!"

Seeing the other party's shameless remarks, Domila was so angry that she almost fainted. She pulled out her dagger and said bitterly: "Okay, come on, what I hate most are robbers. If you have the ability, try grabbing one and see if I can cut your head off."

Hearing them getting louder and louder, the decibels were so loud that it hurt ears, Imrik stepped forward, looked at the strong man with a smile and said, "The water bag is mine."

Although these people in front of him are like chickens and dogs, but he really doesn't want to make any effort to deal with them, not to mention the existence behind them, he still doesn't know what it is.
