"How long does it take to go?"

After listening to Sol's words in front of him, Adil turned around, looked at him and asked.

"If everything goes well, about a month will be enough."

Sol lowered his head and thought for a while before giving this answer.

He walked to the map that Adier bought at a high price and pointed at the terrain map above: "If you want to reach my hometown, you must first pass through this forest, and then walk through part of the Swamp Kingdom's territory before you can reach it."

"What kind of place is there?"

After listening to his words, Adil asked with great interest.

"A barren desert, a polluted oasis, and a broken altar and temple."

There was an expression of reminiscence and nostalgia on Thor's face: "In fact, when you arrive in this area, the number of wild beasts you can encounter along the way begins to decrease. Once you pass through the territory of the Swamp Kingdom and reach the desert, there is deathly silence.

.”

"Except for very few oases and some polluted black soil, there is almost nothing visible there."

"What about the temple and the altar?" Adir asked again, seeming to be very interested in Thor's hometown.

"That is something left over from the past. According to the legend of the tribe, it was built to suppress the true nature of the curse. It is something that our family needs to protect and suppress from generation to generation."

Sol replied seriously: "That is also the home where we live. It is said that some of the power left by our ancestors can be mobilized to resist the invasion of others."

"Others?" Adil noticed the word accurately.

"Some local natives."

Thor replied: "In that desert, in addition to our family, there are many savages living there, distributed in various scattered oases."

"Those savages are very backward and look very strange. They seem to be all black because they have been in the desert for a long time."

Facing Adil in front of him, Thor told the information about the indigenous people in detail.

"Why do you sound so black?"

Listening to Sol's narration, while sitting on a wooden chair, Adil couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, feeling an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

They were discussing things here, and beside them, Yana was holding the child and coaxing the child to sleep seriously.

Early the next morning, after dawn, they set off again.

There are no good roads to walk in the forest, but Adier hired some people locally at a high price to take them away by boat on the water.

After walking for another month, they were close to the end this time.

That is a black land.

Different from the normal black land, the land here is very stiff, and the entire land looks almost condensed into one piece, like a complete black stone, with no way for anything to survive.

Standing on this land, looking at this land where almost nothing grew, even Adil couldn't help but frown.

"These are local black soils, which are also a characteristic of our area."

Looking at the black land under his feet, Sol sighed: "There are relatively few here. When we get there, we can see more."

“How did these lands form?”

Silently grabbing a handful of soil on the ground, feeling the hardness and weight that was stronger than rock, Adil couldn't help but ask.

"have no idea."

Regarding this question, Saul shook his head and said he was not clear about it.

"However, there are some local legends about these things."

He said: "Legend has it that a long time ago, two terrifying demon kings fought here. The power of the battle hit the earth, and even the earth formed black scars, forming these black soils."
