After that, You Che prepared to leave.

Just as You Che was about to leave, several children stopped him.

"Brother, brother! Can you tell us a story?"

"My mom said you're from some city, is that true?!"

Yu Che felt a headache coming on from the chattering around him, so he quickly said that his brother had some good stuff and gave several bags of candy to the children before preparing to leave.

To You Che's surprise, the children looked at each other blankly, clearly having never seen this thing before.

Just as You Che was about to explain to the children how to eat this thing, an adult's pupils dilated in shock when he saw what You Che took out. He then rushed over, grabbed You Che's hand, and asked a question that shocked You Che greatly: "You...you are...from another world?!"

You Che stared at the other person, mouth agape, in disbelief…

The middle-aged man pulled You Che into his tent and then had him sit on a blanket in his home.

This blanket seems to be used not only to entertain guests, but also to keep them warm at night.

You Che asked the other party what the previous statement meant.

Then the man said that about seven or eight years ago, a man named Zhuang Wu came here. At that time, there were only twenty or thirty households in their area, with a total of about a hundred people, including men, women, and children.

There was still some greenery and a small river here, but soon, the living desert swept in and turned this place into a sandy wasteland...

You Che gasped.

A living desert?

You Che understood what this meant. It meant that the desert was coming to life, constantly encroaching on the surrounding landscape and assimilating it into desert...

However, this process should be very slow.

What did You Che hear now?

Overnight, the river dried up, the trees withered, and three days later, yellow sand covered everything...

Are you sure this is a desert and not an infectious disease?

That's not right either; I've never heard of infectious diseases spreading to different terrains...

You Che rubbed his temples. This world seems to have a lot of problems now.

Quite big.

Even in the world of his backstory, it wasn't this outrageous.

Oh, no, the world in Youche's backstory is man-made, a man-made disaster created by those bastards from the Hundred Realms using a doomsday machine.

And here...

To be honest, it seems like something that dies in a day and turns to sand in three days doesn't appear to be caused by nature...

Nature's punishments are indeed beyond human resistance, but isn't this punishment a bit too severe?

At this rate of expansion, the entire world will be completely covered in less than twenty years, right?

Even the ocean might not be spared.

Well, by the time it spreads to the sea, there might not be any humans left in the world.

but……

You Che looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. The question was: how did they survive such a terrible disaster?

Could it be related to that well?

Yu Che raised his question, and the middle-aged man didn't hide it, nodding and saying that when they were preparing to leave this place, a man named Zhuang Wu appeared in front of them. He said that he had the ability from another world, so that everyone would not have to worry about water.

He then indicated that there was a suitable location for drilling a well.

Where there is a well, there is water; where there is water, one can survive. There is no need to leave.

You Che frowned.

well……

He hadn't seen any wells from the air...

Well, who knows, maybe someone has covered it with a tent? Such an important place definitely needs to be hidden, right?

The middle-aged man continued explaining, but there wasn't much important content after that.

Simply put, they settled here after that, and although they had no shortage of water, food gradually became scarce.

Fortunately, later, other people who heard that there was water here gathered here, and gradually, some crops that could grow as long as there was water were also cultivated around this place.

This has led to the formation of a small community of several thousand people.

After pondering for a moment, You Che said that he was going to find the person named Zhuang Wu.

The middle-aged man gave the same answer as the old woman: that person wasn't here now, but in the big city, in a place called Tenshu Castle.

You Che nodded and prepared to take his leave.

Just then, a little kid ran in barefoot, saying he was a bit thirsty from eating candy and wanted some water.

The middle-aged man patted the child's head with a mixture of helplessness and affection, then took out a...

A knight's watch?!

To You Che's astonishment, the middle-aged man placed the knight's watch inside the tent at a point connected to an underground water pipe, and then slowly turned the dial.

Afterward, the dial slowly returned to its original position, and water began to flow from the water pipe.

After taking half a glass, the middle-aged man handed it to his son.

The child happily finished drinking and then ran off to play again.

You Che snapped out of his daze and looked at the middle-aged man, asking, "This, this is..."

Middle-aged man: "Oh, this is what Mr. Sougo gave us, which I just told you about."

After saying that, the middle-aged man enthusiastically expressed his desire for You Che to stay as a guest.

After politely declining, Yu Che asked the other person how they knew he came from another world.

The middle-aged man smiled and said that when Mr. Zhuangwu came over, he was holding a bag of something that looked very similar, called gummy candy.

You Che suddenly realized what was going on.

You know what, it actually matched up...

Although the timing is a bit off, that's not the point.

That guy...

It's highly likely he went to the Gabu World to find Yutsu, and after failing, he came here and used his Rider Watch to help these people dig a well...

but……

Why a knight's watch?

And why Zhuangwu?

You Che rubbed his head, feeling a terrible headache.

There are just too many problems. Oh well.

Let's go to the castle first, and once we get there...

Surely all questions will have answers.

With that thought in mind, You Che bid farewell to the middle-aged man and then left the small settlement, heading towards Tian Shou City.

……

Chapter 656 A Certain Knight on a Journey

Tenshu Castle is not hard to find.

Or rather, in a scene where all you see is yellow sand, the sudden appearance of a city covered in sheet metal, forming a steel jungle with skyscrapers and lush vegetation, is itself quite astonishing.

Therefore, Yu Che found the castle almost effortlessly.

However, when Yu Che arrived at Tenshu Castle, he encountered some trouble.

Some……

A minor inconvenience.

"Stop! Pedestrians, halt!"

Several men dressed in military uniforms, with hair in a bun, wearing long, low-cut robes, and carrying samurai swords at their waists, who looked like the stereotypical samurai in Japan, blocked Yu Tetsu's way of entering the city.

You Che looked at the city wall made of thick sheet metal and the world behind the gate. Behind the gate, instead of sand, there was a road paved with ordinary bricks, and the pedestrians coming and going were unlike those in the settlement he had visited before. It could be said that the world behind the sheet metal looked perfectly normal.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, You Che took out a photograph from his pocket, which was a portrait of the Little Demon King.

"Hello, I'm here to find this person."

The samurai in front of him took the photo, frowned, then looked at each other and waved to Yu Che: "We don't know this person. Outsiders are not allowed to enter Tenshu Castle. Please leave."

Although the other party was very polite, You Che was certainly not going to give up so easily.

Just as Yu Che was pondering what force to use to rush in, suddenly, the communication devices in the pockets of several samurai made a sound.

Then, the samurai in the scene pulled something out of his pocket...

Walkie-talkie?

"Let him in."

Such a sound came from inside.

The samurai was quite surprised, but soon he let out a "Hi!" and bowed to Yu Che before letting him in.

Yu Che didn't make things difficult for the warriors. After walking inside, he found a car driving towards them, and pedestrians on both sides of the road all scrambled to avoid it.

You Che raised an eyebrow and then chose to stop.

Sure enough, the car stopped in front of Yu Che, and a woman in her early twenties, wearing a kimono and with her hair up, got out.

"May I ask who you are... Mr. Yu Che?"

The woman's eyes were very bright, and there seemed to be light in them as she looked at You Che.
