Chapter 1 A New Beginning

Are you going to fight as well? As a girl, how could you possibly stand a chance against those guys

( You need not worry about this, and it seems... they have already arrived. )

Thinking of this, Lawrence quietly turned his head and secretly observed the two young children he had encountered while drawing water from the oasis. They appeared quite young, yet rather peculiar. The surprise and curiosity in their eyes upon meeting Lawrence were certainly not feigned. Initially, he had suspected they might be children abducted by desert bandits, but... the language barrier was completely insurmountable. Lawrence could not understand a single word spoken by the dark-haired boy, and the boy seemed equally unable to comprehend what Lawrence was saying. This was indeed an extremely rare situation; as a traveling merchant, Lawrence had diligently studied many languages. He could manage to speak a few sentences in the common tongue of the continent, Elvish, Elemental, and even Draconic, as one never knows when one might encounter a dragon in business. However, the language spoken by the boy was entirely incomprehensible, and even with Lawrence's extensive experience, he found it difficult to identify. Moreover, judging by the clothing of the two, they did not appear to be escaped slaves. Although both children were covered in dust from the desert environment, the exquisite craftsmanship of their garments was certainly beyond what a slave could afford. The dress worn by the girl, though of a style Lawrence had never seen before, would be enviable if a maid or slave from any household could wear such luxurious attire.

The girl turned her head, calmly and gently gazing at Yiming with her distinctly colored dual pupils. She did not feel flustered by this sudden change; in fact, they had already prepared themselves to accept their fate of death. Being able to stand here alive now was already a blessing. Nevertheless, the girl's lips remained still, while Yiming closed his eyes, quietly contemplating for a moment before slowly responding.

We are all very fortunate, are we not

And the book "We, Help."

Given the circumstances at that time, my abilities should not have encountered any issues, especially with your assistance. Moreover, the situation indeed turned out as we anticipated, managing to control the energy of the explosion. However, regarding what happened afterward... according to calculations, we should have only a one in fifty million chance of escaping alive

Upon hearing these words, Yiming nimbly jumped down from the carriage, closely followed by the young girl. The two quickly approached Lawrence's side, and then Yiming paused slightly, his mind racing to recall and contemplate the language and meanings this man had used towards them over the past few days. He then spoke in a rather obscure tone, asking: "What has happened..."

The black-haired boy, known as Yiming, lifted his head, his expression still one of indifference. It seemed that the girl had not spoken just now; she continued to gaze at the back of the traveling merchant ahead, as if she were oblivious to everything around her. However, her voice, as clear and pure as a mountain spring, indeed resonated in Yiming's mind

The sudden sound caught Lawrence off guard, and he looked up in surprise at the girl before him. However, the girl still wore that elegant and gentle smile, showing no intention of speaking. Yet, Lawrence distinctly heard a girl's voice in his mind, and it was still continuing.

Alright

One in fifty million is certainly much better than nothing

Lawrence looked at the young man in surprise, wondering what kind of name this place had, as it was quite peculiar. Meanwhile, Yiming, who noticed his gaze, still wore a slightly heavy expression. In fact, he truly did not want the other party to discover the unusual aspects of him and his companion so soon. However, judging by Lawrence's demeanor, the battle ahead was indeed extremely perilous. Moreover, regardless of the circumstances, the merchant before them was also their benefactor who had saved both of them. Otherwise, with just the two of them, it would have been impossible to escape this vast desert. Therefore, he could no longer afford to hide his special abilities. As for how the merchant would react upon witnessing all of this... With that thought in mind, he extended his right hand.

Is there a mistake in the use of abilities

Please do not be surprised, you indeed heard me speaking. However, I believe these matters can be explained at a later time. Both I and Yiming will ensure your safety, no matter what happens.

Be sure to be cautious; these sand bandits will definitely not be too far away. Do not be deceived by their current absence; they are merely toying with us. They have employed this tactic against merchants in the desert many times before. If they scare the camels with wild dragon's blood, we will be unable to escape this cursed place. However, they can leisurely hide in the shadows, waiting for us to let our guard down before they strike. Alone, you cannot fend off those fellows; I must also fight.

Yiming had not yet had the chance to respond to her words when suddenly the car came to a stop. Yiming frowned slightly and immediately turned around. He saw the merchant turning back to shout at them, gesturing with his hands.

Yiming attempted to lighten the heavy atmosphere with a slightly teasing tone. He was not concerned about being overheard by Lawrence, as he wouldn't understand what he was saying anyway. However, the only trouble was that he appeared to be talking to himself.

Are you saying ... ... Hello !

What does this mean

Lawrence completely did not understand what this pronunciation was; was it the name of this sword? However, he quickly regained his composure and solemnly shook his head at the young man. After capturing his attention, Lawrence continued to speak.

Xuanyuan

Yiming, what should we do next

Regardless, let us maintain this for now. Be careful not to let anyone discover your abilities. This place seems..." At this point, Yiming paused, cautiously gazing at the colossal figure in front of the vehicle, a creature they had never encountered before. Even if the government's genetic engineering had indeed made some progress, it would certainly not be something that could be popularized at this moment. "It's strange; I even doubt whether we are still on Earth, but fortunately, we are not encountering any Martians." Yiming paused again, cautiously looking at the enormous being responsible for the labor in front of the vehicle, a creature they had never seen before.

"It's strange; I even doubt whether we are still on Earth, but fortunately, we are not encountering any Martians."

It was a pitch-black, oddly shaped longsword resembling a book. Unlike any weapon Lawrence had ever seen, this longsword was nearly as long as the boy's body, and its hilt was not at the bottom but in the middle. The elongated blade appeared heavy and sharp, and the boy wielded this unusually shaped double-edged sword as if it were completely weightless, despite its seemingly heavy appearance. Lawrence noticed that there seemed to be some strange characters engraved on the sword.

Lawrence noticed that there seemed to be some strange characters engraved on the sword. They resembled square-shaped characters, but Lawrence did not recognize them at all

Can you help? What can these two children do to help themselves

Black lines composed of mysterious runes suddenly emerged from Yiming's right arm, swirling and rotating as if they were living serpents gathering in the palm of his hand. Then, the boy flipped his right hand over and grasped them. The black rune lines, which had originally appeared quite soft, suddenly became long and wide, and the astonishing sight before Lawrence made him involuntarily hold his breath, unable to react in any way.

After speaking, Lawrence gazed at the strange boy named Yiming, and indeed, his expression indicated that he did not understand Lawrence's words. However, Yiming quickly turned his head towards the girl beside him, seemingly waiting for her explanation. After a moment of silent eye contact between the two, Yiming nodded as if he understood, but then shook his head. The girl then turned around, and Lawrence once again heard her voice in his mind.

Just as Lawrence was at a loss, he saw the young man glance at the girl with the colored eyes beside him, and then the girl walked over to Lawrence's side

Is it clear?

Lawrence boredly waved his long whip, striking the beast of burden before him, urging it to continue trudging forward with its four short, stout legs. He looked up at the sky; the weather seemed fine, and there should be no sandstorm under such conditions. With this thought, Lawrence loosened the robe wrapped around him and couldn't help but glance at the two people sitting behind the cart. To be honest, traversing the Fieldley Desert was already a perilous endeavor in itself. For a mere traveling merchant like him, even a few extra lives would not suffice for caution. Moreover, encountering two lost souls in a place where humans could hardly survive was simply an unimaginable oddity.

What is he saying

Lawrence took a deep breath of the dry air, striving to calm himself. He hurriedly jumped down from the carriage and kicked open the panel behind the wooden seat, causing several long swords to slide out immediately. As a traveling merchant, he often had to ensure his own safety, so even Lawrence had some hidden tricks up his sleeve. He casually picked up a sword and threw it to the young man. The young man looked at it after receiving the sword, shook his head, and then returned it.

At this moment, Lawrence was completely unconcerned about whether the two of them could understand his words, shouting in exasperation. Just a moment ago, he had spotted a vague shadow over there, and then that damned camel beast had come to a halt. No matter how he scolded it, it would not move forward; this was a common trick of the sand bandits. They released a scent in the wind that was exceptionally terrifying to the camel beasts, forcing them to stop. Then they would return to gather a large group to come and rob; those cursed bastards! How could he be so unlucky? Lawrence had encountered sand bandits once in his youth, an experience that left a deep impression on him and became the subject of nightmares for several years thereafter. Since then, Lawrence had been extremely vigilant about the desert trade routes, which was supposed to be his largest and final business venture. For this journey, he had made thorough preparations, even hiring a rather competent group of mercenaries. However, he never expected those guys to turn on him at the last moment. If it weren't for Lawrence accidentally overhearing that group of mercenaries planning to kill and rob him and managing to escape with the beast cart before the sandstorm hit, he would have likely become an unnamed corpse in the desert by now.

He said that there are sand bandits lying in ambush ahead... they should be robbers

The young man gently caressed the blade, and in an instant, an unmasked killing intent flashed across his face

Indeed, it is ... ...

Upon hearing this, Lawrence quickly turned around, and indeed, from the distant sand dunes and the books, he vaguely saw several dark spots.

At that moment, the young boy tugged at Lawrence's sleeve, bringing the already somewhat flustered traveling merchant back to his senses. He looked at the boy in surprise, who pointed at the girl beside him, then at himself, and spoke in the awkward common language of the Empire.

The voice of the girl in his mind was unusually calm, yet carried a subtle hint of joy. She extended her left hand, adorned with silk gloves, and gently caressed Yiming's face

The facts are clear; there are only three people here. The subsequent conjecture, however, completely exceeded Lawrence's expectations

Although Lawrence had long suspected that a solitary traveler like himself would inevitably attract the attention of desert bandits, when that premonition materialized before his eyes, it was impossible to accept it so calmly. Moreover, he was accompanied by two young ones; even if he wanted to flee... What a joke! Lawrence would rather die at the hands of those vicious bandits than perish of thirst in this terrifying desert; at least here he could be granted a swift end.

Sand thieves! Robbers! That cursed group! Beasts that survive by devouring the flesh and blood of others! Damn it, this is truly unfortunate! It's over now, we cannot escape!

Ah?

Lawrence's mind was in a state of confusion, but when he looked at the young man again, he couldn't help but be stunned

Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Merchant, but we do not need weapons

The boy's face revealed an unusually calm expression. It was not a naive peace and tranquility; rather, it seemed as if he was always prepared, waiting for something to arrive. Lawrence had traveled extensively for over thirty years, and his rich experiences were sufficient for him to understand that the boy before him was not joking. He truly grasped the meaning behind his words and was already prepared to assist him.

( Please rest assured, Mr. Merchant, that it is not only Yiming who is fighting.)

It is truly unfortunate

Naturally, Yiming could not understand the other person's words, so he asked the young girl. Although the girl also did not understand this language, it did not mean that she was unaware of what the other party was trying to convey
