Chapter 198: Land’s Travellers
Translator: Lonelytree
“Our people are once called the ‘land’s travellers’, Mr Nightmare Man should know about this because after our ancestors arrived in this world, they have spent many years as nomads They travelled from the Northern land to the eastern land, and crossed the sea to land on the western land About 50 years ago, they finally settled at the Bnazic Desert” Inside the tower, Peacock began slowly but her tone was filled with er “Our people just wanted a place to stay but Elder Atal, you should know that the Bnazic Desert is not Shangri la by any stretch of iination The desert consists of the Bnazie who had settled at the desert earlier than we did, they occupied the oases, leaving us with the barren lands and even so they often oppressed us But the bigger threat—the same threat for everyone that lives at the Bnazic Desert ca at the Ossaran Steppes that was connected to the desert on its eastern side
“Those brutes with their yaks never started far from others They can’t be reasoned or communicated with They are brutal, ruthless and their population nuher than our people We have settled at the Bnazic Desert for 50 years already and every year ould be invaded by the Ossarans”
Pain slowly etched its way onto Peacock and Malachite’s faces
“My father died in the skirmish with the Ossarans” She continued, “My mother was taken away by theh When the Ossarans are done hu their captives, they would be sold to the black merchants as slaves and the slaves would be exiled to God knohich part of the world” Peacock glanced at the htmare Man, e decided to help you, it is not only because we are of the saht be the victi back our people who have been exiled is one of ourthat our people have been constantly doing”
The nightaze did not change, his expression was hidden behind the h his mind
“Every year, with the invasion froent detere to settle down and our population has reached 30000 people The growth in our size has unfortunately attracted the suspicion and caution of the Bnazie Every autuether to launch a fronted assault In the previous years, the separate tribes of the Bnazic Desert would cooperate to resist the onslaught But this year, we have gotten the news that the Ossarans and Bnazie had enocide on our people co to help
“Elder Atal, there is less than 2 nifies the advent of autumn Without your help, our whole tribe will be wiped out!” Peacock said desperately, her beautiful features were scrunched up by stress “Migration is not an option because other places will bring its own danger If we could dom forbides that For better or worse, the desert has become our home and our only solution is to defend it We are all disciples of the Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan, but Elder Atal as you should knoithout The Pnakotic Manuscripts, we can’t progress further than the 5th chapter to glean its deeper understanding Therefore, our tribe has sent us out to seek foreign aid to help us survive this ordeal”
Hearing her story, Atal sighed and he announced quite plainly, “But I really do not have The Pnakotic Manuscripts” At the sa the infor the truth, their ancestors were a group of people who entered the dreao… But even after so rown to 30000 people, survival must have been difficult However, Gu Jun was not surprised by that He had been to quite a number of places in this world already, with the exception of Ulthar which was quite peaceful, all the other places were lurking with danger
“Mr Atal” Gu Jun thought about it and then enquired fro the truth? Do you know of their people?”
“I’ve not been to the Bnazic Desert myself but I can confirm certain details of her story, the Ossarans are not a tribe that deserve anyone’s prayers” Atal affirmed “I have heard of the land’s travelers before because this is not their first ti to me to ask for The Pnakotic Manuscripts, they would cohed, “You can turn this whole tower upside down, in fact, any visitor can do that but you will find nothing of value here”
