Tie ta stood in front of the camp's Gate and looked at Zhao Hai. He was wearing a suit of black armor, but it seemed even heavier. Tie ta was in his thirties, and he had a square face that looked angular. He sat on the horse, looking like a Black Tower.
Zhao Hai was dressed in grey clothes and sat on the back of the spotted bamboo. He looked very ordinary, but no one in the desert dared to look down on him, because he did not come up with his own name.
There was a very strange situation in the desert. Many people gave themselves nicknames, and in the desert, very few people used their real names. For example, spirit snake wasn't a real name. No one knew what his real name was. Tie ta wasn't his real name, and no one knew his real name either. Spirit snake and tie ta were all nicknames they had given themselves.
