Orochimaru’s Magic Lamp

Chapter 324: Go through the motions

  Chapter 324 Let's go through the motions

  Queen Loulan's face changed slightly, "Sara, when did you come back?"

   She didn't intend to let anyone else know about the deal with Orochimaru. Firstly, it was to prevent the secret from being kept secret. Second, it was related to Loulan's fate. This is an invisible burden that not everyone can bear.

  The girl bowed her head in silence, as if she had made a big mistake.

   "I can answer this question for her."

  Oshemaru glanced sideways at the black leather bags piled on the ground, and said with a smile, "The time is probably when I take out these things."

   "..." Queen Loulan was slightly silent. If so, then she probably has already heard about the transaction.

   There is no point in blaming anything now, and the reason for the leak is because the man in front of him has nothing to stop him. If you want to blame, you should blame him.

   "Ah..." Queen Loulan sighed, her eyes fell on her daughter, and she said, "Sara, this matter is not something you can participate in, so just pretend you didn't hear it, okay?"

   "I want to help you too, mother." The girl raised her head, pleading in her eyes, "The dragon's pulse is too dangerous, and mother cannot bear it alone."

  At this moment, of course, she would not blame her mother for selling Loulan and Longmai for a good price, on the contrary, she was very worried about her safety.

   These two people are connected to the dragon veins, fighting against the yellow sand storm. What kind of monster is Sarah and even their patron saint? They are already such a threat when they are stable, and what will happen if they are riots.

   "...you can't take part in this."

  Queen Loulan did not fool her daughter like a child. She shook her head and said, "You stay in a safe place. If something happens to me, you will bear the burden of protecting the Loulan people."

  She is now very clear that the fundamental reason why Orochimaru is willing to pay so much money and provide sufficient protection is that the other party needs someone who can appease the dragon veins.

   This person could be her, or her daughter Sarah, but it must not be absent.

  Eggs cannot be put in the same basket. Only when her daughter leaves Loulan and stays in a safe place can she act without scruples.

   "..." Sara bit her lip, looking a little unwilling.

  In all fairness, she also knew that what her mother said was the right way, but if she really did it, it would be against her will.

  Oshemaru glanced at the mother and daughter who were confronting each other, the corners of their mouths slightly raised, and they had a clear understanding of the little girl's thoughts.

   After all, the current Queen Loulan is still her mother, and she herself is a fledgling under the wings, and she has not yet taken on the responsibility of being a queen.

  What kind of Loulan people? Although it shouldn’t be said that, if it is at the two ends of the balance with her mother, Sarah is more inclined to the latter.

   And this is exactly what Orochimaru needs.

So he smiled lightly and interrupted the confrontation between the two sides, "I think what this girl said is also very reasonable. I have never seen the scene of a dragon vein riot. The scale is too accurate to estimate. One more person can help reduce the risk." A lot of risk."

  In any case, for this transplant operation, Orochimaru is determined to succeed, and if there is a chance of winning, he must strive for a chance of winning.

  Hearing this, Queen Loulan suddenly turned her head to look at Orochimaru, with deep doubts in her eyes.

  This person is a rare smart person who is hardworking and dedicated. He doesn't understand some truths, but even so, he still insists on letting his daughter participate with him. Obviously, there is only one possibility.

  His first action on the dragon vein was more important than he imagined.

   "Your Majesty, don't worry."

  Oshemaru noticed the other party's gaze, and smiled without hesitation, "I will find someone to protect the safety of the two of you, and I will never let you have any problems."

   "After all, I have spent so much effort, but I never thought of treating you as a one-time consumable."

   "..." Queen Loulan fell silent upon hearing this.

   It was really annoying to hear this, but the other party was also somewhat relieved.

  Indeed, if the mother and daughter were to die, the price would be too high.

   "Okay, let's talk about this for now. Now that the people in this city are panicking, it's time to tell them the bad news that tomorrow's sandstorm will come as promised."

  Orochimaru smiled playfully, "It will be a while before the ninjas from Sand Hidden Village arrive at night, let them panic for a while, so that we can proceed with the next thing."

   After the words fell, Orochimaru stood up from the sand chair, "I also have some things to be busy, so I won't accompany you for the time being."

   "You..." Queen Loulan stood up, but before she could make a sound, the other party had jumped onto the patio and disappeared into the narrow sky, leaving the two of them in silence.

   "Mother, what should we do now?" Sara looked at Queen Loulan with hesitation and hesitation in her eyes, a little at a loss.

   "Tomorrow's sandstorm will inevitably come as he said, and everyone should be informed of this."

  Queen Loulan sighed slightly, "However, it's better to be late at night. After going through such a catastrophe, at least let everyone rest and have a meal at ease."

  After that, you can also prepare yourself mentally.

  …

  Dusk is approaching, and in the desert, the prelude to night is the rapidly dropping temperature.

  In order to illuminate and make it warmer, the conference hall in Loulan was lit with torches early on.

  Under the swaying light and shadow, there are many figures, and the atmosphere is a bit dignified.

   Sitting around the round table, a square-faced middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "My Lady Queen, is this true? The storm will come tomorrow?"

  Queen Loulan shook her head, "I have no reason to lie about something that can be proven at dawn."

  The middle-aged man continued to ask, "But before that, you never had the ability to predict sandstorms."

In fact, he didn't really doubt Queen Loulan that much. There is no need to question what he can know tomorrow. He can know when he looks up at the sky. The kind of disaster that will happen after a few decades, but everyone should tighten up. It is the prophecy of dedication made by the waistband that needs to be considered and questioned.

  However, I am still a little unwilling.

  Because Queen Loulan is not only talking about tomorrow, it is not clear what will happen the day after tomorrow, but there is a high probability that there will still be sandstorms.

  This means that either the Loulan people have evolved from mutations to adapt to life in the sandstorm, or they will choose to leave.

  The former is so difficult, and if it can be done, why bother to gnaw the sand here? It has already rushed out of the Kingdom of Wind and walked towards the prosperous ninja world.

   But the latter incident means being displaced. Although it is better than dying in a sandstorm, it is not much stronger.

   Not only the middle-aged man, but others also frowned, psychologically unwilling to face the unknown fate after leaving Loulan.

   "I didn't make a prediction, but an interpretation based on the will of the dragon vein."

  Queen Loulan glanced around at the crowd, "I'm telling everyone, it's also for the purpose of brainstorming and pooling our efforts to find a suitable way out."

  Although Saiba is the queen of Loulan in name, but in fact the power in her hands is not that great.

   Loulan said in a tone that it is a kingdom, but it is actually more like a village, and she is the village head and Wu Zhu.

  The biggest difference between her and ordinary people is that she does not give birth, and because of the sacrificial activities of dragon veins, she has a very high prestige.

   As for such a major event involving Loulan's future, her words carry a lot of weight, but they cannot be settled with a single word.

   "..." In the conference hall, the atmosphere was a little silent.

  From childhood to adulthood, I have lived in the desert for so long, how can I not understand the difficulties involved.

   This is not the beautiful "I am the wind, you are the sand..." in the song, but more, "The dry corpse, the strong wind blows".

   After a long silence, the middle-aged man who asked the question before said,

"There are also several small oases around Loulan. Everyone knows these locations. If the people in the village are divided into several parts and spread out, and they live there for a while, they may be able to avoid this disaster. After all This sandstorm cannot hover around Loulan forever."

  In all fairness, this method has a certain possibility of success, but in this way, it also divides Loulan's power.

  Although the dispersal into several parts reduces the risk of the complete annihilation of the Loulan people, this method is too risky for some people.

Just like in this room, some people are more responsible for the work in the city, seldom travel far, and know little about oasis and desert walking, and if the knowledgeable people are evenly distributed, it means that their survival probability will directly increase. related to that individual level.

  Everyone knows who is strong and who is weak, and they all want to go to a high-level team. This kind of distribution itself is unfair, and some people immediately objected.

   "...The sandstorms for two consecutive days are obviously unusual. It's better not to be separated. There are many people and strength, and there can be some support."

   "Yes, yes, besides, staying in the oasis is not a problem. It is different from staying in Loulan. We need to live when we leave here."

   "How about parading in the form of a caravan, there are more than a dozen camel beasts in the city..."

   "..."

  Everyone brainstormed and proposed various methods, but in any case, they still couldn't satisfy most of them.

  Queen Loulan sighed slightly when she saw this situation.

  Change is difficult. Who wants to be displaced suddenly after living in Loulan? These dissatisfaction is not for the method itself, but because they want to leave Loulan.

   After thinking about it, Queen Loulan said, "There is still some food left in the city. Regarding the future of Loulan, everyone can think about it after going back tonight."

   "But the time should not exceed three days. It is not an easy task to control the dragon's veins to fight against the sandstorm."

  Everyone's face changed slightly, the second sentence can be said to be nonsense, how can it be easy to fight against such a terrible natural disaster, even with the power of the patron saint.

   Others, the food is okay, but if there is no protection from the dragon veins, a sudden sandstorm can almost declare death.

   But this is actually the same in the desert, even more dangerous, because there, there is no guardian of the dragon veins, and they have to face the wind and sand by themselves.

   And the time is limited right now, so we can only focus on the big and let go of the small, and we can't wait any longer.

   "..."

   Considering the risks alone, this is almost a dead end. The most appropriate way is to stay in Loulan City for the past two days, and send a few people to the desert to see the trend.

  Anyway, Loulan City cannot stay forever.

  “…Since everyone agrees on this approach, let’s do it.”

  Queen Loulan nodded slightly, "After dawn tomorrow, send four villagers to explore the road in four directions..."

   "Boom boom boom..."

  Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and without waiting for the people inside to speak, the young man outside pushed the door open with an excited expression on his face.

   "Your Majesty, everyone, there are people outside, and it is the Ninja Village of Hidden Sand Village. They seem to know the sandstorm we encountered."

"What…"

  Queen Loulan pretended to be surprised, and suddenly got up, and the others couldn't hide their joy.

  Leaving aside the matter of the sandstorm, now that the ninjas from Sand Hidden Village have come from outside, they must know the news from outside Loulan.

  If the four dispatched villagers can be saved, let alone their accidental death, the time saved is very important.

   "..." Queen Loulan looked around and said in a deep voice, "Let's go out and have a look."

  …

  On the square covered in yellow sand, the fourth Kazekage Rasa glanced around, a flash of shock flashed in his eyes, and the faces of the sand ninjas beside him couldn't hide their shock.

  Although the population of Loulan is small now, the city of ancient Loulan is not small, it is even worth half a small hidden sand village.

  But such a big city is now completely covered by yellow sand.

   "Master Kazekage, there is something unusual here."

A female ninja with orange sideburns stepped forward and said, "Such a large-scale sandstorm, if it is not a natural disaster, but man-made, I am afraid that only Jinchuriki who guards the crane can do it in this world. I suspect that this may be related to Akatsuki organization."

  Fengying Luosha glanced at the other party, and said in a neutral tone, "It's possible, but we'd better wait until we get more information before making a judgment."

  This female ninja is one of the most powerful fighters in the village. She controls Burning Dun, her name is Ye Cang, and she was a strong candidate to compete with Kazekage back then.

   It is precisely because of her existence that Luo Sha's position was not secure after taking up the post of Kazekage, so she was forced to accept Chidai's mother-in-law's Jinzhuriki plan.

  The past is like smoke, and there is no need to care about the original grievances. Fengying Luosha thinks that this transaction will soon reverse the trend of the village's decline and gain unprecedented prestige, so he has some thoughts and takes Ye Cang as his subordinate.

  Although this woman is a bit naive, her strength should not be underestimated. She is by no means inferior to him. She is an excellent thug.

  Of course, this time I brought it out to act in a play, also to show that I attach importance to this storm, but this purpose is not enough.

   "..."

  Queen Loulan rushed over with a group of people in stride, and immediately saw Fengying Luosha's clothes.

  Kazekage and the others don’t know each other, but there is no one in the ninja world who doesn’t know about this outfit.

  Queen Loulan was slightly startled. It was just a cutscene. He could actually let Fengying come over directly. How much energy does this man have.

   No Double Ninth Festival, just a normal cold, high fever, uncomfortable, but how to put it, I am actually a little happy
