Chapter 878: Chapter 427: Eternal Day Desert_3

However, Evans couldn’t clarify the mysterious disappearance of Caesar’s Legion back then.

It was said that overnight, the entire city suddenly vanished without a trace in the desert.

In any case, having traveled through the night in the game until the next morning, Mu You finally received the prompt "You have entered the Crimson Desert".

At this time, Mu You had also realized that the daytime in the desert was exceptionally long.

Last night, until around nine o’clock local time, the sun had not yet set, and around three in the morning the next day, the sun rose again on the horizon, showing just how long the daytime here was!

Moreover, according to Evans, the upcoming Crimson Desert was a ’Land of Eternal Day’ where the sun never sets, the exact opposite of Dark City, where it is daylight for 24 hours!

This was quite bothersome for Mu You, as it meant that he couldn’t use his vampire skin here.

"Your Desert Landship has been attacked by a group of sand pirates!"

"At Evans’s signal, several warriors aboard immediately disembarked to fight, easily defeating the sand pirates..."

...

"...A group of sand pirates jumped out from the roadside, stopping your landship..."

"Several warriors took action again and easily defeated the enemies..."

...

After entering the Crimson Desert, they periodically encountered attacks by sand pirates on the road, but luckily the guards on board were powerful enough that Mu You did not need to take action himself; the soldiers automatically cleared all obstacles along the way.

In fact, Mu You didn’t know their destination either. As long as someone was leading the way, he was happy to just go along for the ride.

About two hours into their journey into the Crimson Desert, when they encountered the tenth group of raiders, the game finally popped up some new text.

"Here they come! It’s them!" Out came a familiar shout of the sand pirates from outside the landship, and Evans, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them."

"You look outside through the window and see that the number of sand pirates had significantly increased this time, densely packed with at least a hundred men, and all of them had a nine-toothed sun pattern painted on their chests, matching the pattern on your merchant attire exactly: the former battle flag of Caesar’s Legion!"

"Including Evans, a dozen soldiers disguised as guards promptly disembarked to fight."

"All you could hear were the sounds of fierce fighting and screams coming from outside the ship."

"After waiting for several minutes, once the sounds outside had gradually subsided, you finally stepped out of the cabin."

"By then, the battle outside had come to an end, with the dozen soldier guards around the landship, each covered in blood, yet without any casualties. The hundred or so sand pirates had completely surrounded the landship, but most had a fearful look in their eyes, clearly realizing the exceptional combat power of these merchant guards, hesitating whether to give up on this tough nut."

"Stop!" you shouted out, and then, following the plan you had agreed upon with Evans, you stepped off the ship and revealed your identity: as a wealthy merchant from abroad coming to support Caesar’s cult. It really was a case of ’the Dragon King being flooded out of his own temple by the river’ — family not recognizing family, and this battle was truly a misunderstanding."

"After hearing your ’self-introduction,’ the group of sand pirates looked at each other confused, their eyes filled with bewilderment, and they all scrutinized you with skeptical eyes."

"Not until you flashed the nine-toothed sun pattern on your chest and raised your arms high shouting, ’Long live Caesar!’"

"The surrounding sand pirates were immediately moved by you, also displaying their own emblems, excitedly joining you in shouting, ’Long live Caesar!’"

Mu You watched with a strange expression on his face. Could this Caesar’s cult really be some sort of pyramid scheme?

At least, the performance of these people in front of him made them seem like a group of extreme cultists gathered together...

"After a round of shouting, the tense atmosphere at the scene immediately eased, and the sand pirates’ view of you changed to one of fellow comrades."

"A man dressed as a Bandit Leader walked through the crowd and approached you quickly, scrutinizing you from head to toe, then looked at the soldiers around, his face still skeptical."

"The Bandit Leader began to meticulously question you about your background, experiences, and wealth."

"Luckily, Evans had prepared a detailed identity for you in advance, and at this moment you answered fluently."

"After the interrogation by the Bandit Leader, the doubt on his face had not completely dissipated, yet he also didn’t want to let go of such a big catch. After a long hesitation, the Bandit Leader looked at you, ’You, follow us back. Everyone else, leave!’"

Mu You breathed a sigh of relief; this should mean he had successfully infiltrated.

As for Evans and the others, they had not actually planned to accompany him to find the enemy’s lair. Delivering Mu You to Caesar’s cult was their entire plan; the rest was up to him to play by ear.

"You took out a treasure prepared in advance in front of everyone, individually rewarding all the guards, and indicating that they had completed their escort mission and could return on their own."

"Evans pulled you aside and whispered to you: The Ezomal Empire’s army of a hundred thousand is stationed under the Abis Temple on the northern border of the Crimson Desert. If you encounter any trouble, you can always go ask him for help."

"’May the Desert Goddess bless you!’ Evans touched his forehead and chest in blessing, then after glancing back at the sand pirates, he waved his hand and led his subordinates away."
