Tell Kem that his guest has arrived.

Kayim is the master of this peaceful town with more than 1,500 armed personnel. When he saw Xu Fu and others' unusual attire, the security official hesitated for a moment, but after thinking for a while, he still dialed the mayor's office.

After a while, three jeeps drove up and stopped in front of the crowd. A burly, bald sergeant with a scar on his left cheek walked up to Xu Fu and said with a slightly respectful tone.

"Mr. Dane Lucio?"

Xu Fu took out the seal and handed it to the latter, who glanced at it and immediately bowed.

"Hello, Mr. Lucio, welcome. General Arish has been waiting for you for a long time."

After saying that, he opened the car door and invited him to sit in the passenger seat.

The bald sergeant, named Joria, was Kem's number one executioner. Upon seeing him, the rats hiding in the shadows turned white with fright and fled without looking back.

Xu Fu and Qiao Liya drove the jeep in front, while the others followed behind, and the group rushed towards the city hall.

The security situation in Arish was terrible; bloodshed could even be seen on the main roads. As for homeless people and drug addicts, they were everywhere. Barbara couldn't help but mutter to herself when she saw them.

"This town is so strange."

Derek, a museum employee standing next to him, answered in French.

"For 50 years, Arish belonged to Egypt, then was occupied by Israel, and is now a no man's land."

"You mean..."

Derek turned around and said two words: "Warlord! Terrorist!"

Barbara's mouth turned into an "O" shape.

How did Mr. Lucio come to know these people?

“Who knows? He claims to be from the United States, but it’s probably a lie.” Derek added with concern, “My biggest worry is his identity; he could very well be an antiquities smuggler.”

Barbara remained silent, her eyes lowered, and Diana sensed intense anxiety in her. Diana comforted her, saying...

"Don't worry, it's okay."

"Whoever he is is none of our business. Our goal is to find the underground ruins. Once we find this place, our mission will be complete."

Upon arriving at the city hall, the group received a warm welcome: Mayor Kem himself was present, his words revealing a humble respect. If they hadn't known his identity beforehand, some would not have guessed that such a fat man would be the infamous demon Kalish.

After lunch, Kem was busy gathering information about the underground ruins, while the others went to the backyard accompanied by "security personnel".

Diana took the opportunity to slip into Xu Fu's room.

"How do you know about Kem? You...."

Xu Fu shook his head and chuckled: "Don't overthink it. I have a friend who is a warlord in the neighboring Palestinian country. He can't afford to offend him, so he can only listen to me."

"Is it reliable?"

"They're more like subordinates than friends."

Diane: "..."

"Don't think about it."

Xu Fu changed his clothes: "Let's go buy some things and see if we can find any clues."

Diana couldn't refuse him, so she left the city hall with Xu Fu, who was disguised. The two of them held hands without any suspicion, like a couple, and walked through the amusement park.

Despite its poverty, Arish had a surplus of goods, including high-end electronics, clothing, perfumes, jewelry, antiques, paintings, and ivory, though the origins of these goods were difficult to ascertain.

The two walked around for a while and then stopped in front of an antique shop.

Xu Fu picked up a sculpture engraved with ancient Egyptian inscriptions.

How do I sell this?

"One hundred thousand"

"Dollar?"

"Yes, Dor!"

Xu Fu smiled and shook his head, setting the sculpture aside and looking around the rest of the shop. His eyes lit up when he saw the spear hanging on the wall.

"Kandak spear? Where did you get that?"

The bearded shop owner said impatiently, "Do you want to buy it?"

Xu Fu took the spear and examined it carefully. "I'm very interested in the history of the Kandak people. If you can take me to the Kandak tribe, I'll buy this spear." He paused, then added, "Double the price."

The host seemed very happy, a little unsatisfied, and also a little doubtful.

Xu Fu opened his backpack and showed the banknotes inside. Upon seeing this, the shopkeeper spoke directly without hesitation.

"Deposits first"

"how much is it?"

"One hundred thousand"

Xu Fu pulled out a wad of banknotes and threw them on the table: "This is ten thousand yuan. I'll give you another ten thousand yuan after you're done."

Too little, not enough.

Xu Fu picked up the note: "Never mind, I'll find another guide."

"and many more!"

The boss caught up with him and snatched the note from Xu Fu's hand.

"The transaction amount is $2, no less."

"This is your territory, I dare not back down."

The shopkeeper gave a cold snort, closed the shop, went to the nearby caravan camp and got three camels, then sent the three of them on the camels out of the city and headed south.

The Sinai Peninsula has a very harsh geographical environment. Not long after leaving the city, the grasslands turn into deserts, surrounded by steep rock cliffs, with dry yellow sand as far as the eye can see.

After traveling about ten kilometers, the three arrived at a cave. The owner told them to wait while he rode a camel into the cave.

Diana muttered to herself, "Something's not right."

Xu Fu calmed down. "These are what I've been looking for."

Chapter 1518 The Fearless Shacklemaker

The Kandaki are a remarkable race who lived through more than thirty dynasties in Egypt, were conquered countless times, but were never truly conquered. No matter how dire the circumstances, they always raised their banners, attempting to establish their own kingdom when the dynasty collapsed.

This has been true for thousands of years, and even in modern times.

After Egypt destroyed the Kandak Republic, which they had established sixty years earlier, they lived in exile. Some fled to the west, while many remained, using the Sinai Peninsula as a base to carry out underground activities on both sides of the Red Sea.

Their ideal of building a nation has never ceased from the very beginning.

To be honest, Xu Fu was deeply impressed by it: ordinary races don't have this kind of resilience.

Of course, every abnormal thing has its root cause. According to the information provided by the Fourth, there is a mysterious force protecting the Kandak clan from annihilation.

Xu Fu was eager to know what this mysterious power was.

The bearded boss went into the house and came out quickly, followed by six natives. His expression was full of smugness, like a fat bear that had spotted its prey.

Xu Fu shook his head: "Are you doing this? Or am I?"

"I'll do it; you'll die if you take another step."

Diana dismounted from the camel, stood up, and swept her way through the crowd like an arrow. In just a few seconds, she disarmed six men and knocked them to the ground. The boss was shocked and rushed out the door without looking back, only to be bound by Diana's Lasso of Truth and thrown in front of Xu Fu.

Are you their supervisor?

The bearded man twitched his head, and the words flew out of his mouth.

"Yes, they all obey me."

However, all of this is foolish. Why should I tell the truth?

Xu Fu asked again, "Are you a Kandak?"

The bearded man nodded hastily, saying something completely contrary to his facial expression.

“I am an Arab, not a Kandak.”

He realized what was happening and looked in horror as the young man took his mouth into his mouth.

Are they also Arabs?

"..."

The bearded man didn't want to talk and sank to the ground like a salted fish.

Xu Fu picked up the gun.

Bang

The bullet grazed his scalp and fell to the ground. The burning pain made the bearded man tremble with excitement; he dared not take any more risks.

Where are the Kandak people's settlements?

"It's in a canyon to the south, but I don't know exactly where."

What is your relationship with them?
