Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

2612  The Desert Folks

There were three men and a woman in the small group of desert folks that Alex had found in the marketplace. He strode up to them, checking on them as he walked.

One of the three men was an older man with gray hair, while the other two seemed to be in their early 40s. The woman was in her early 30s.

All of them wore white linen clothes, a colorful sash around their waist where they hung their storage bag from, and a large hat to hide their face from the sun. Their skin was way darker than any of the tribespeople that Alex had seen up to now.

They had a few pieces of equipment before them such as shovels, axes, and knives, all made of metal but none that seemed worth buying. Alex could tell that they were very low-quality items, but then again, he had been used to some entirely different grades of quality to begin with.

"Greetings, friends. I have some curiosities I was hoping to get answered. Would you mind if we had a short chat?"

The four people turned to look at him. Alex was perhaps the first person they had seen in the city who covered so much of his body that only his eyes were visible.
