Battle of the Twin Cities: The Ninth Councilor

Chapter 171 I Really Can't Tell Now
That night, Wei tossed and turned sleeplessly, thinking a lot.

From time to time, the words that Marcus said and what Van der did in the past appeared in her mind. She suddenly realized that Van der actually wanted to eliminate the problems between the two cities, but it was difficult for him to get in touch with the upper city as a person from the bottom city. Nobles, so there is no way to start, so we can only restrain the black alleys and the bottom city as much as possible, and don't conflict with the upper city.

'The road to change is always full of thorns. I believe that there will be like-minded people joining in to contribute to the cause of change and shine a light. '

If Vandel was still alive, he and Marcus would definitely become very good friends.

Vi turned over, she didn't sleep behind the curved wall that Thalia condensed, but lay beside the fire, and when she turned around, she could see Marcus sitting there.

Under the light of the fire, the slightly vicissitudes of the side face was covered with a layer of unwavering brilliance, as if no matter how difficult the road ahead was, it could not stop him from pursuing his ideal.

Wei stared blankly, how did the once disgusting appearance become less annoying tonight?
Although he is under thirty, Marcos is busy with official duties and exhausted his mind, which makes him look older than his peers.

Even so, he is still undeniably handsome.

"Viole, what are you thinking?!"

Wei reacted and felt a little ashamed that he actually praised an old man in the upper city for being handsome in his heart! ?
Pooh!
He is not handsome at all!

nasty guy!
Closing her eyes and not looking at Marcos anymore, she turned over and carried her back.

Unknowingly, drowsiness welled up.

By the time Clegg woke him up, it was already early morning, and it was about to dawn.

The dry firewood collected by Talia has almost burned, and there is only one not-so-vigorous flame left in the fire, which seems to be about to go out, but the charred firewood is burning itself firmly, spreading a bit of warmth to the surroundings .

"Get up, I'll go to sleep for a while, and call me at dawn." Craig whispered, and found an open space by the fire to lie down.

Wei sat up, a thin gauze slipped down, she raised her hand to catch it.

Upon closer inspection, the scarf was not hers, but Marcos's.

She froze for a moment, found Marcos, got up and put the scarf on him.

"Make a contribution and shine a light."

Wei sat down not far from Marcos, looked up at the starry sky, and found that the night sky without clouds floating and covering it was clearer than other places.

The scattered stars, I don't know how far apart they are, but they can echo each other with star brilliance.

Looking at it, Wei lost his mind, and seemed to think of more things in his mind, but he didn't seem to have any.

Until dawn broke, a ray of sunlight jumped out of the ground, bringing new life to the land.

This ray of sunshine shone into the bottom of Wei's heart, leaving an indelible mark there.

Her eyes focused and gradually became sharper, and Wei returned to her previous appearance.

It's just that there is something more in the depths of the eyes.

It looks shiny.

The sky dawned quickly in the desert, but in the blink of an eye, a round of fiery red roulette was suspended.

The temperature gradually rose, and the bonfire was completely extinguished at this time, and a wisp of green smoke fluttered into the sky.

"Well, I didn't expect that in the desert, the quality of sleep is not bad." Marcus opened his eyes, grabbed the gauze draped over his body, and sat up.

Slowly, he pulled Talia out from behind the curved wall and went to wake Clegg again.

There is no condition to wash, so you can only wet the corner of the gauze towel with clean water and wipe your face.

After eating the hard-to-swallow dry food, everyone set off on their way before the temperature reached its peak.

"Usually we will go on the road in the early hours of the morning, so that the distance we can travel each day will be longer, and people will not be too tired." Talia walked beside Marcus, "But considering that you Picheng people are pampered, The biological clock is difficult to adjust, and the camp was a bit late yesterday, so I didn't tell you about it yesterday."

Marcus squinted at her: "Are you sure it's not because you want to sleep more?"

"You...you are questioning me!" Talia's mind was broken, her eyes flustered, "I am an aborigine of Shurima, I came all the way from the marrow seal market, and I have suffered more than you can imagine How much! Would I be greedy for that little sleep time?"

"It doesn't matter." Marcos patted Talia on the shoulder with a smile: "You are the guide, and you decide how we should go along the way, as long as you can take us to the destination on time."

"Yes, I'm a guide! Professional!" Thalia raised her head proudly, as if she was saying that she was such a professional guide, how could she delay her journey for a little sleep?
Marcus laughed and shook his head. The temperature in the desert rose rapidly during the day, and he was too hot to talk.

Thalia grew up here, so she was able to handle the temperature with ease, and last night she was the most rested and energetic.

Occasionally catching the aura of magic, she would condense a skateboard under her feet, circle around a few people, or go to the front to explore the way and come back.

At noon, they stopped to rest, hid on the backside of a sand dune, ate dry food and drank water.

Marcos felt that in the past two days, he had suffered all the hardships he hadn't experienced in traveling for more than five years.

Thalia came over and said, "Something's wrong. Sand worms are generally more vengeful. You beat it like that yesterday. It shouldn't be silent until now."

"So what about holding grudges?" Marcus raised his eyelids indifferently: "If we can fight it off once, we can fight it off twice or three times! Besides, didn't I ask you to stop talking nonsense?"

"I'm serious!" Thalia went crazy, can you stop hurting yourself with this matter?That's really just a coincidence!

"I'm serious too." Marcus looked past Talia, exhaled and said, "Enemy attack!"

Two pillars of sand rushed towards the crowd from not far away, extremely fast.

Thalia was pushed aside by Marcus, turned around and saw the two sand pillars, and her whole body collapsed.

Do you want to cooperate like this!

Why didn't I mention that you didn't come, and you showed up as soon as I mentioned it!

Now I really can't tell.

"Hiss! Cluck!"

With yesterday's experience against the enemy, Marcus rushed forward with ease, luring a sand worm out of the ground.

The three of them were not far away this time, and they stepped forward to shoot at the same time, and the Atlas gauntlet smashed hard on the sand worm with azure light.

Marcus's feet trembled, and he stepped back wildly.

puff!
Another sand worm came out next to the previous one, opening and closing its penetrating mouthparts, trying to bite Marcus.

Marcus glanced at him, and immediately noticed something was wrong.

Why didn't these two sand worms take any injuries?

Heartbroken, he looked back and saw that the sand dunes where everyone was sheltering from the sun exploded, and another sand worm rushed out horizontally, biting Talia whose back was facing.

"Get out of the way!"

Marcus exclaimed.
