Global Lords: Start as a Desert Lord

Sam left the blacksmith shop after a busy day.

His hair was as messy as a chicken coop, and his clothes were even more sloppy, making people frown.

He looked like a wandering beggar, extremely miserable.

In addition, with only one arm, this appearance does not give people a good sense.

But Sam didn't pay attention to this, still holding his chest out and his eyes shining.

The residents who passed by him did not look at him strangely, but were filled with envy and respect.

Because the dusty clothes on his body were uniforms specially designed by the tailor shop for the blacksmith shop.

In the entire Twilight City, only the staff of the blacksmith shop are qualified to wear it.

That was the blacksmith shop, one of the most prestigious places in the Twilight City.

The clothing of the blacksmith shop is divided into three levels: apprentice, blacksmith and more advanced blacksmith master.

What he wears is the top-notch blacksmith master's exclusive clothing, which is a symbol of status.

Only he and Andele own the entire Twilight City.

Sam's steps were brisk and he was humming an unknown light tune in his mouth. He didn't know the name of this tune, but he only heard it occasionally from Shanna's mouth.

Because the girl liked it, he also liked it.

Thinking of the figure still waiting for him at home, his steps couldn't help but become faster.

He had been in the blacksmith shop for a week, and wanted to research the special attack technology before going back.

But I had to come out at this time, because today is very special.

Shanna's birthday.

In fact, he didn't know when Shanna's birthday was, and he didn't even know his own birthday.

The reason why today is his birthday is because he regarded the day when they met as their common birthday.

For him, this is even more important than his birthday.

Because on the day he met Shanna, there was light in his dark life.

The girl's appearance gave him, who was sinking in the darkness, hope, hope, and the strength to live.

To outsiders, it seemed that he had been taking care of Shanna, but only he knew that.

It is the girl who can no longer see the world who is supporting him, and the other person is his support.

The light in his eyes became gentler.

How crazy and suffocating it was to think that a few months ago, a disabled man with only one arm led a blind girl across the desert of death.

But, for her, he was not afraid of any difficulties.

Fortunately, I made this choice in the first place.

Thinking of this, Sam's face showed a smile from the bottom of his heart.

If it hadn't been for his original decision, he would not have been discovered by Twilight City, nor would he have come to this great city, nor would he have become a respected top blacksmith.

Lord Richard

He whispered this title in his heart, his eyes showing a fiery light.

It was the master of this territory who gave him everything.

He will never forget it forever

His soul belongs to his girl, but his life already belongs to this city.

If necessary, he would stand on the city wall without hesitation and sacrifice everything to protect the city and Lord Richard.

"Sam, are you coming back so early today?"

A crisp voice with surprise from the side interrupted Sam's thoughts.

Subconsciously, he turned around and saw a girl with a graceful figure appearing in front of him.

The other party was wearing a pure white dress, and her big blue eyes looked like they were carved from gemstones, making people's hearts tremble.

His face is exquisite and perfect, his temperament is elegant and lively, and even the most demanding person would be hard-pressed to find any flaws.

Sam didn't dare to look any further. He avoided the other party's sight unnaturally and said with a stiff voice.

"Good day, Miss Helena."

"Today is Shanna's birthday, so I came back a little early."

After hearing this, the smile on the girl's face faded slightly and she managed to smile.

"That's great. I didn't expect Miss Shanna's birthday today."

As he spoke, his eyes dimmed slightly.

"Then, I'm going back and won't disturb you anymore."

Sam groaned and nodded blankly.

"Okay, Miss Helena, goodbye."

Seeing that the other party didn't speak to stop him, the girl lowered her head, turned around and left gloomily.

Sam didn't think much, regained his happiness, and started to get ready to go home.

But before he had gone far, a middle-aged man with a big belly and a fat body stopped him.

The other party was wearing a black robe and looked quite wealthy.

Sam chuckled when he saw the visitor.

"Uncle Odd, good day."

A middle-aged man named Odd smiled.

"Good day, Sam."

He said and looked around.

"Didn't you meet Helena just now?"

Sam gestured in the other direction with his hand.

"We met, Miss Helena is back."

The middle-aged man had a subtle look on his face.

"You guys didn't talk?"

Sam shook his head.

"I've already said hello, and today is Shanna's birthday. I'm anxious to go back."

"Understandable."

As he said this, he looked Sam up and down. Although his clothes were full of dust, his high-spirited spirit made people dare not underestimate him.

After thinking for a while, he stepped forward, got closer to Sam, and lowered his voice a bit.

"Sam, what do you think about what I told you before?"

"Helena is a famous girl in the Twilight City. Her appearance and education are the best choices. There are many young men who want to pursue her."

Sam shook his head decisively.

"Thank you for your consideration, Uncle Odd, I already have Shanna."

The middle-aged man said disapprovingly.

"I'm not asking you to give up on Shanna. Shanna is a good child. After you marry Helena, you can still be with her."

He said proudly.

"Man, what's wrong with having so many wives?!"

"Especially for an outstanding man like you."

"You are the backbone of the blacksmith shop. Even Lord Richard treats you with special eyes. Your future potential is unlimited! You can't just marry Shanna in this life, you have to marry other girls, right?"

"If that's the case, then why can't you marry Helena back?"

"If you're worried that Shanna won't agree, it doesn't matter. I'll help you. Trust me, she will understand."

Being snatched away by the other party, Sam looked slightly startled.

After pondering for a moment, he slowly shook his head at the middle-aged man.

"Uncle Aude. I think you may not understand me."

"There are many, many good-looking, smart, and pretty girls in this world, but that has nothing to do with me."

"I just want Zannah."

"Having her is enough."

As he spoke, his face was overflowing with happiness.

"Sanna, you are everything to me."

"There is no girl in this world who can compare with her, no"

The sworn middle-aged man finally looked stiff.

Looking at him somewhat incomprehensibly.

Their eyes met, and at this moment, he saw the extremely firm love for a person in the other person's eyes.

Mountains and seas collapse and cannot be moved.

The middle-aged man who originally didn't believe that anyone could resist such temptation fell silent.

After a long time, he showed a bit of a wry smile.

"Maybe I underestimated you, Sam."

He reached out and patted his shoulder.

"Zanna is a good girl. It must be a blessing from the goddess that he can gain your favor."

Sam smiled and shook his head.

"No, Uncle Odd, it's my honor to be with Shanna."

"Without her, maybe I would have become a rotting corpse."

"She is my light."

A moment later, the middle-aged man watched the brisk figure disappear at the end of the street, with inexplicable envy in his eyes.

It must be very happy to love someone so firmly.

After the other party's figure disappeared, he lowered his head and pulled up his sleeves. A crystal bracelet full of impurities was tied around his wrist.

There was a bit of reminiscence in his eyes.

——

"Sanna, Sam will definitely become a big shot in the future."

"He may marry you to be her wife, but she may not only have one wife."

"Of those big shots, who doesn't own several women?"

"Besides, given your situation, being with him will only delay him."

"Sam is now a top figure in Twilight City. During this period, he often doesn't come back for several days. Doesn't this mean something?"

"The greater the status gap between you, the harder it is to maintain the relationship."

"Sanna, maybe you haven't noticed yet, but Sam has gradually forgotten about you. He has a better life and will no longer put you first. You are not that important to him anymore."

"And you also know that he met a girl named Helena some time ago, and that girl liked him very much."

"She has bright eyes and can play an instrument called the kronach. Her singing voice is particularly beautiful, and her father is also a big shot in the logistics department."

"They are the most perfect couple."

In the bright house, a boy in his early twenties was looking at the girl sitting on the stool with unfocused pupils.

The boy is tall and has shiny blond hair.

His eyes were filled with confusion.

He emphasized his tone a bit, wanting to increase his persuasiveness.

"I'm different, Shanna. In this life, I only want to have you."

"I swear to the goddess, from the day I saw you, your appearance was engraved in my soul. You are the only love of my life."

"I have become an employee of the food workshop. I will work hard and earn a lot of money to help you treat your eyes. I will accompany you after get off work every day."

"There will never be a situation where you are left out for many days!"

"Sanna."

Listening to the boy's words, Shanna, who had been silent for a long time, slowly raised her head and "looked" at the figure in front of her seriously.

The tone was firm.

"Daniel, I'm sorry, please forgive my directness. Sam is not the kind of person you say."

"In the future, please don't say anything bad about Sam in front of me. I don't like it."

"Sam is my love and my one and only."

"Besides him, it is impossible for me to fall in love with anyone else in this life, no, in the next life."

"Daniel, seeing as we have known each other for a few years and you have helped me and Sam a lot, I will just pretend that nothing happened today and you can go."

The boy raised his voice unwillingly.

"Zanna, don't you understand? Love is mutual! Sam may be holding hands with Helena right now and watching the sunrise and sunset outside the city!"

"Otherwise why haven't you come back for a week?"

"Although the work in the blacksmith shop is busy, there is no way that I can't spare any time!"

"Today is your birthday!"

"I can always stay with you."

The girl's face turned a little cold.

"Daniel, I'm warning you for the last time, don't say anything bad about Sam again!!"

"You don't need to worry about how Sam does things!"

"Even if it's just a month, a year, or even never coming back, I won't be able to accept you."

"I love Sam more than my life and my soul!"

Looking at that unshakable face, the boy's heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.

I opened and closed my lips several times, but could no longer speak.

In the end, the whole person seemed to have had his soul taken away. He sighed, staggered, and left sadly.

The girl ignored the other person's departure and was still thinking about her boy.

"Sam must be very busy these days. I made his favorite honey bread today. I will ask Aunt Shanna to take me to the blacksmith shop later~"

Thinking that she would be able to see each other later, a bright smile immediately appeared on the girl's face.

Just groping to get up.

Eee~

The sound of the door being pushed open sounded, and a familiar sound of footsteps came into my ears.

There was a bit of surprise on the girl's face, and she subconsciously turned her head to look in the direction of the sound.

"Sam, you're back~"

The tone was filled with indescribable excitement.

The girl, who had not been too angry just now, seemed to be given life to the statue at this moment, full of agility.

The air seems to be filled with the smell of spring flowers.

Fascinating.

Sam looked at his beloved girl with a bright smile on his face.

Stepping forward, he took out a bouquet of white flowers from behind with one hand.

One hand guided the other person to take it.

"Happy birthday, Shanna."

The girl held the flower in her hand, put it on the tip of her nose and smelled it briefly.

Smelling the fragrance of flowers, a smile spread across his face, full of surprise.

"White Moon Flower? Sam, where did you get the White Moon Flower? This is a desert."

Sam laughed.

"Like it?"

The girl nodded fiercely and held it in her arms happily, not wanting to let go.

Just when she was about to say something, the girl suddenly felt that the figure in front of her was squatting on the ground, and one of her hands was being held by the other person.

While he was doubting, a mellow and gentle voice sounded.

"Sanna, today is our birthday, and it is also the day we met."

"This day is like a new life for me. It is because of your appearance that my life has been given new meaning."

"I hope that in the days to come, I can always be by your side, care for you, care about you, and love you."

"I hope to be your husband and the father of our children."

"I hope that when I am eighty years old and my hair is gray, I can still hold your hand."

"Sanna, my love, I hope you can marry me."

After the words fell, the girl felt the coldness of the ring on her ring finger.

At this moment, an indescribable feeling of happiness surged from the bottom of my heart.

Tears fell down uncontrollably.

The voice was trembling somewhat uncontrollably.

"Sam. Are you serious?"

Sam's tone was solemn and hot.

"I have never been so serious in my life. Are you willing to be my bride?"

"Oh oh oh, I do, I do."

The girl couldn't hold back her inner excitement any longer, so she choked with sobs and pulled up the boy and hugged him tightly in her arms.

Smelling the breath of the other party, at this moment, she felt that even dying was worth it.

Sam whispered in the girl's ear with a trembling voice.

"Zanna, I was very scared when we were trapped in the Desert of Death. I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid that when I die, I will not let you become my wife."

"I was thinking at that time, if we can leave the Desert of Death alive, I will definitely propose to you immediately!"

"Fortunately, with the blessing of the goddess, Lord Richard pulled us back from the hands of death and brought us to the Twilight City."

"Later, Your Majesty gave me great power and gave me everything. Now, I finally have the ability to take care of you."

"I have been thinking about this moment since the day I arrived in Twilight City."

"My wish has finally come true. Even if I die now, I am willing to do so."

"Sanna, I love you."

When the girl heard these words that were the most direct and passionate in her heart, her heart became intoxicated.

I was choked with excitement and could no longer speak complete words.

All she could respond to was to hold the boy harder in her arms, as if to rub him into her body.

After a long, long time, he sobbed and whispered.

"Sam, we will have a future. You still have to serve Twilight City and make greater achievements to repay Lord Richard."

"We want to live well together."

"Live until the day when the city of twilight becomes the pearl of the desert, live until the day when we can no longer walk."

Sam hugged the girl tightly.

"Well, we have to live well."

"The City of Twilight has not yet become an immortal city, and Lord Richard has not yet become the master of the desert of death."

"The kindness we owe has not yet been repaid."
