In Teyvat, it all begins with rescuing the grass god.

She glanced at Naxida, then turned to her and said, "For the elders, building the Red King Temple and restoring the faith of their descendants in the Red King is an urgent matter that must be done, even more important than the interests of the village."

Unexpectedly.

No sooner had Candice finished speaking than Rod chuckled and said, "That's great! You don't need to worry anymore. I'll take these people. Have them pack their bags and come with me. That way, you can relax a bit."

"what?"

Candice paused for a moment, then asked, "Go with you? Where to?"

"Go deep into the desert."

"Nasita decided to create an oasis there."

It was agreed before we came that the task of using the Oasis Source would be entrusted to Nasida.

Anyway.

Amidst the prevailing anti-grass god sentiment in the desert, since it's impossible to dispel the rumor that the Great Tree King killed the Red King, let the facts speak for themselves.

Sincerity is a sure-fire way to win.

Rhodes has always firmly believed this.

Therefore, in any plan concerning the desert, he would always sign the name of Little Lucky Grass King at the very top of the proposal.

Talk about it.

Fortunately, Nasita did not inherit the title of King of the Great Tree.

if not.

If the story of the Great Tree King killing the Red King, as told by the desert people, becomes that of the Little Lucky Grass King killing the Red King, then no matter what Nasida does, it will be useless, and there will be absolutely no chance to ease the relationship between the desert and rainforest regions.

"Create an oasis?"

"Little Lucky Grass King?"

Candice was slightly lost in thought upon hearing this news.

She wasn't surprised by the Grass God's plan to build an oasis in the desert.

In fact.

Back when the Red King was still alive.

Under his great power, the settlements of the desert people all had oases sufficient for survival.

The flower goddess worshipped by the tribal people, whose retinue of spirits also has the ability to transform yellow sand into an oasis.

Needless to say, the grass god who controls the rainforest is another story altogether.

Therefore, in the minds of the desert people.

That is, the three gods of the desert all possess the power to turn barren yellow sand into oases.

Use a more common name.

This is called a miracle.

To Candice's surprise, Nasita was still willing to help the desert people create an oasis in the desert, even though she knew they were hostile towards her.

"Um"

After regaining her composure, Candice gave Narcida a deep look and asked only one question: "Where is the address?"

The Grass God is using practical actions to win over the desert people.

This is a good thing.

There's no need to put on any silly airs about this.

I may not be grateful.

Candice knew she deserved the respect she was due.

"The former site of the Tanit tribe."

Rod smiled and said, "You've been there."

Candice nodded.

She remembered the location of the ruins.

It is indeed a good place.

Most of the buildings remaining there are intact, and the water source is readily available.

When Candice went there to accept the Tanit people before, she thought the place was good and a suitable settlement.

If it weren't so far from Aru Village...

She also had the idea of ​​developing that area.

This place already boasts some of the best natural conditions in the desert, and now with the Grass God personally creating an oasis, it might just become a place with living conditions no less than Aru Village.

"A very good choice."

Candice gave a thumbs-up.

Next.

She then asked another question: "Who are you planning to bring?"

This is a very important question.

According to what Rod just said, he wanted to take away all the restless moderates and the already unruly radicals.

Honestly.

Packing all these people up and taking them away would indeed reduce the burden on Aru Village, and make things much easier for Candice, at least there wouldn't be so many people buzzing around her like flies every day.

But Candice still felt it was inappropriate.

"Nobody is in charge of what they say."

"If they develop further, they might just become the next remnant of the God-King."

Candice knew all too well what kind of personalities these religious fanatics in the village had.

If we let them develop freely outside.

That will surely become a sharp blade that destroys the bridge between Aru Village and the rainforest area in the future.

Speaking of it.

Candice hesitated for a moment.

She was hesitating about two things.

One question is whether or not to agree to Rhodes's offer to lead a group to open up a new oasis.

Another issue is whether, if we send these people to the new oasis as Rhodes suggested, I should go and help manage it for a while. But if I leave, Candice is worried that something might happen in Aru Village.

This dilemma left Candice somewhat undecided.

At this time.

Rod's words interrupted her thoughts.

"You don't need to go there. I've already thought of someone else."

"Ok?"

Candice raised her head and blurted out, "Who?"

Soon, she thought of someone: "Dishia?"

If you had to pick someone the desert people trust the most...

There is no doubt about that.

It must be Desia, who rescued Rhodes from the brink of death.

Not to mention that when Rhodes went to Mondstadt for official business, Desia made a domineering confession to him at the Lambad tavern.

So Candice immediately thought of Desia.

At the same time, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Dixia was really suitable for this task.

The name of the Lion with the Fiery Mane carries great weight in the desert.

Behind him was a Crimson King's messenger.

Regardless of ability or status.

They wielded considerable influence over the restless desert dwellers in the village.

To Candice's surprise...

"Do not."

"It's not Dixia."

Rhodes uttered a somewhat unfamiliar name: "The person I'm looking for is Rahman."

A somewhat familiar name.

Candice recalled briefly.

Then I remembered where I had heard this name before.

Isn't this the mercenary that Rhodes forcibly detained in the village when he planned to rescue the Grass God?

Candice and Rahman had virtually no overlap.

In other words, they had met twice when he was discussing things with Rod, but they hadn't even spoken to each other.

However, there is one thing Candice remembers very clearly.

"Isn't he a radical follower of the Red King?"

Candice's brows, which had finally relaxed, furrowed again.

She was already worried that those religious fanatics in the village would cause trouble at the new oasis.

As a result, Rhodes found a radical who was even more radical than the radicals in the village!

What exactly are his plans?
