"Let's go!"

A small tent was set up for Mo Li, and his entourage also flew Magical Beast on the other side of the guards. Then I shouted loudly.

Immediately, the flying Magical Beast slowly took off under the control of the controller and gradually increased. The full picture of Stone Desert City slowly appeared in my eyes, clearly visible, but getting farther and farther and smaller.

There was a strong wind blowing from Tagor Desert, Dust was swirling around, and Salt City was flying Magical Beast toward the east Southern Region at high speed.

Qing Lin was flying Magical Beast for the first time, and her little face was full of nervousness and surprise. She was standing on the edge, holding the guardrail with both hands, staring at Stone Desert City flying quickly away from her body.

I saw tears flowing out of the corners of her eyes, so I couldn't help walking over and asked softly, "Qing Lin, is there sand in your eyes?"

"No."

Qing Lin was a little frightened by me. He suddenly looked up at me, raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of his eyes, and said timidly:

"Master, it's Qing Lin who is crying."

I was slightly stunned, lowered my head and looked down at Stone Desert City getting farther and farther away, and suddenly understood something.

Stone Desert City is the hometown of Qing Lin!

No matter how many unbearable memories Qing Lin has in Stone Desert City because of the mixed-race issue, this is the land where she was born and raised after all.

She was born here and grew up here. During the fourteen years, there were countless days and nights, filled with sadness, happiness, sorrow, and joy.

This city records every bit of her past and every part of her growth...

Today, I have to travel far.

I let out a long sigh, and only then did I understand that it was not only Xiao Yan who was leaving, but also Qing Lin.

I turned my head and looked at Qing Lin. I didn't say anything for a long time. I really didn't know how to comfort her.

"Is this Miss Qing Lin?"

At this time, I suddenly remembered a voice from the side. I turned around and frowned. It turned out to be Mo Li.

When he saw me looking at him, he smiled slightly, cupped his hands towards me and said, "Nalan Brother, I heard from my father that there is a girl in Stone Desert City. Although she is not Dou Zhe, she can control a Fourth-Order Magical Beast!:"

"I can't help but be curious. I hope I didn't disturb Nalan Brother."

I raised my eyebrows, vaguely aware that something was wrong. There is something wrong with this Mo Li, this Mo Family!

Mo Family must have recognized Qing Lin's talent - Jade Eye Three Flower Pupils!

Originally, Mo Family captured Qing Lin and wanted to remove her eyeballs and transplant them into Mo Family Great Elder Mo Cheng.

I thought that now that Nalan Family and I were protecting Qing Lin, Mo Family would understand the situation and give up that unrealistic idea on its own.

But I really didn't expect that Mo Family would be so courageous. Even Nalan Family's tiger beard would dare to come up and stroke it?!

"Miss Qing Lin, I'm Mo Li."

Seeing that I didn't speak, Mo Li thought I had no objection. He turned around and smiled at Qing Lin, his smile full of romance.

This boy is quite handsome. If he were placed in Gama City, he might be enough to make all the girls and wives in the city scream.

But here at Qing Lin, it was of no use. Having been bullied since she was a child, she was subconsciously wary and wary of strangers.

I was able to gain Qing Lin's trust so quickly. In the final analysis, I still borrowed the light of the two brothers Xiao Ding Xiao Li!

After all, Qing Lin has followed Xiao Ding Xiao Li for almost four years and has great trust in the two brothers. And I... am Xiao Ding Xiao Li's brother-in-law.

Qing Lin is not very wary of me and trusts me easily.

Speaking of which, this is really... interesting?!

Qing Lin looked at Mo Li timidly and subconsciously backed away from me.

Mo Li suddenly became a little anxious, his eyes looked around, and finally landed on Qing Lin's arm.

There was a Scarlet little snake wrapped around it, but it was a Fire Spirit Snake that had become smaller. It was only today that Qing Lin discovered that it could become smaller.

"Miss Qing Lin, is this the fourth-level Fire Spirit Snake?"

The smile on his face suddenly widened, and he sighed with a hint of longing, "Miss Qing Lin is really powerful, she can actually control a Fourth-Order Magical Beast..."

"Miss Qing Lin, can you tell me how you controlled this Fourth-Order Magical Beast? I think the situation must have been very dangerous at that time."

Qing Lin ignored him and hid beside me, looking at me with his eyes.

I raised my hand and touched her head, smiled on my face, and said softly, "Qing Lin, go back to the tent to play with Mei Er."

Qing Lin nodded and ran into the tent obediently. Mo Li was a little anxious, but couldn't say anything to stop him. He turned his head to look at me, squeezed out a smile on his face, and said:

"I heard from my father that the battle with Medusa Queen yesterday was commanded by Nalan Brother?"

"Nalan Brother is truly a god. He was given such an important task by his family before he even reached the crown. He must be the next leader of the Nalan Family."

"Mo Li is here, congratulations to Nalan Brother first!"

This guy knows how to cause trouble.

I sneered in my heart and looked at him quietly like a clown, expressionless and silent.

After a moment, and another moment later, Mo Li became embarrassed and felt something was wrong. He looked at me and asked hesitantly:

"Nalan Brother... Why are you looking at me like this?"

I turned my head and looked eastward, which was the direction of Salt City. After a pause, I asked leisurely:

"Mo Li, do you know why Salt City is called Salt City?"

Mo Li was stunned and didn't understand why I asked this. Anyone with a little knowledge would know this question, and he had been reminded of it by his elders since he was a child.

"Why is Salt City called Salt City... That's because near Salt City, there is the entire Gamma Empire, and even dozens of surrounding countries, the salt pond with the largest output and the best quality - Resting Pool!"

Mo Li clasped his hands in vain and said very proudly.

Salt, although this thing is not as expensive as Medicinal Pill, it is better in quantity.

And everyone can't live without it!

If farmers don't eat salt, they won't have the energy to work in the fields; if soldiers don't eat salt, they won't have the energy to fight!

Gamma Empire is not near the sea, so it cannot boil sea salt, so it can only live on salt ponds and well salt.

And Resting Pool--the salt produced every year accounts for 70% of the total salt production of the Gamma Empire! There is even a surplus sold to nearby countries that are short of salt. What a huge fortune is this?!

But now, of course, I don't want to talk about this huge wealth with Mo Li.

What's more, Resting Pool--never fully belonged to the Mo Family, they were at most an agent.

"Mo Li, I heard that Resting Pool's salt is divided into three grades by you Mo Family. Which three grades are they from?"

Mo Li raised his eyebrows and said, "The best quality is white salt, made into a tiger shape. It is only supplied to the Imperial Family, Yun Lan Sect, Nalan Brother and other big forces like Three Great Families."

"The second is green salt, which is made into horse shapes and sold to those places Small Families and Small Factions."

"The next one is Coarse Salt, because it contains more impurities, has a mixed color, and tastes bitter. But it is also the cheapest, has the largest output, and is sold to the common people."

I nodded in agreement, turned around and looked at Mo Li, with a half-smile on my face, and said:

"Mo Li, as one of the Four Great Families of the Northern Regions, you Mo Familys should logically eat white salt - but I heard that you Mo Familys never eat high-quality Tiger-shaped White Salts, only medium-quality Horse-shaped Green Salts?"
