God Is A Game Designer 46 C46 The Encroaching Sands

Nathan felt like murdering them all, his body numb as he had ridden on this carriage for six days, besides the random ma.s.sive sand beasts he spotted off in this distance he could see nothing else, it was just dune after dune after.

He felt like he needed to destroy this entire place, it was so dull and boring without a single way to relieve it. He had hoped that a beast would come and attack him, but each time one seemed to come close, it quickly turned away and fled as fast as possible.

Other than Nathan who seemed to be slightly bored. Kaye, Ameria, Kai and Auryn had spent time on this journey. Everyone on edge as they saw so many wild ma.s.sive beasts that had a chance to swallow them up and spit them back out.

During long journies, it was normal to use distinct paths cleared of monsters. Sadly the area they had arrived at was not one of the designated regions to get a unique path which was the main reason they had seen so many large creatures.

Ameria looked to Kaye with shock a few times as she noticed the calm nature of the man, her surprise came double so when she saw Auryn who seemed as quiet, sitting next to the same man. They both gave the vision of perfect relaxation.

Sadly this was not the only thing that Kaye and Ameria felt annoyed by; the next part was that after a few days they started to smell somewhat sweaty, not showering had caused everything to start smelling funky. While they were used to such a thing, they had comfort that everyone would start to feel the same.

Except that when it came to the others, they stayed pristine. They understood Kai as she was not human, was it even possible for a plant to sweat?

When it came to Auryn though, she was not perfect, but she still did not smell anywhere close to the two humans sitting up front, it was slightly an insult as she stayed ever so close to the man who had helped her grow.

Then it came down to the man himself; he was thin and somewhat weak. However, this was not something new except that his hygiene was perfect. He smelled normal like the world around him did not affect him at all.

Both Kaye and Ameria ground teeth as they stared at the man, jealously clouding them as they wished to have the same ability. Even when Nathan was between them, pulling himself up to the central part of the carriage as he looked out at the distant town, both girls could feel anger rising in them as he smelled somewhat fresh. His hair almost perfect without any grease at all. It was like his body was perfectly frozen in time.

"This is the town of Baski. We should be careful as it's currently under the control of the church?"

Ameria nodded her head as she looked over the town for a moment, eyes wandering back to him. "I bet the churches forces have already left which means they will be on the lookout for people like us."

Nathan nodded as his eyes looked over the town of Baski in the distance, he bet this place used to be a gem back in the day, now it was on the way out as it lacked in many aspects.

Kaye looked to Nathan as she started to give off the description of the town to help him.

"Baski is a town closest to the capital in the vortex; it's a supply line and an important one at that as it connects the north, south and west to the eastern areas. The east is known for its large dunes and difficult areas. Baski is the only town that connects it all."

"Baski was set up in the year 992 A.E with over five thousand residents. It's down to roughly one-tenth of that number now. It had ma.s.sive farmlands which supported the growth of over towns in the east, but now the farmland has shrunk by seventy per cent due to the desertification of the area."

"It still produces fruit, food and high-quality water. The number is decreasing each year due to the issues I've said before. We should not try to sell here as its a poor trade option for us."

Nathan frowned, this town was apparently on the way out. It was losing its only exports thanks to the sands encroaching in. His sigh is growing as he rubbed his head. "Well, why are they still open if they are already so close to closing."

"They do produce water at a good steady rate. Food is becoming less each year, but they still do export some. Lastly, they are an important hub for the eastern area, if they close then every other town will be in trouble." Kaye spoke to him, trying to provide a more detailed description of the town.

Nathan nodded his head, thinking for a few moments as he came up with an idea. He did not need to keep this town open in the long run; he could have everyone from this place join his village to bolster forces. They were already experts in farming, gathering and many other similar skills. This would be the perfect place to gather the people he needed.

"They do have one industry that is booming, the tourist and trade industry as many traders come past this point, as well as people who are moving to other towns. They also have natural hot springs."

Nathan nodded again, listing to this as he made up his mind.

"Excellent then we shall make our way to the hot springs. I need a good wash and relax after such a journey. I must reek!" He would laugh as he headed back into the sheltered area of the carriage.

Both Ameria and Kaye staring ahead, anger and killing intent flowing from them as Kaye looked to Ameria.

"We need to get revenge on him. Mr Pristine, complaining about his smell."

Ameria nodded her head as she brightly smiled, both girls starting to chuckle with evil intent as they began to plan the sweetest revenge.
