Teyvat: The road to becoming a god begins in the desert

That's a very special music box.

Different from traditional music boxes.

The structure of this music box is not a mechanical structure that can play music by itself.

Can be seen through the transparent casing.

Inside is a bunch of complicatedly constructed tracks, with a not-too-large opening above it, just enough to accommodate a Mora.

That's right.

It's Mora.

This music box is Dolly's treasure.

It is activated by throwing a golden mola into it.

As the mola rolls back and forth in the orbit, the successive crashing sounds will converge into a melodious tune.

The tune can be composed by just Mora and orbital impact.

It sounds incredible.

But it is true.

Both Rhodes and Desiya thought so.

A sound that is theoretically monotonous, sounds very pleasant.

By analogy.

It's probably equivalent to playing music with a calculator.

Dolly was clearly enjoying herself.

Even though Rhodes and Desiya had been standing in front of her for a long time, she didn't notice that they had arrived until the song ended.

"Hey, you're on time."

"Sangor Mahabhai likes guests like you the most."

Dolly, who had an unfinished expression on her face, clapped her hands, and then handed over a piece of paper at her hand: "Here, this is the valuation of you by the generous Lord Sange Mahabhai. It could have been more, but who You are a desert citizen, so if you don’t pay me, I will be in big trouble.”

Dolly's words were cruel.

When Rhodes and Disia saw the numbers on the loan contract, their pupils shrank in unison.

One million molas.

This is the mora that Dolly can lend to Rod.

The repayment period is five years.

"Originally."

"When you borrow a loan from me, you have to pay it back on time every month."

"But I don't think you have the ability to repay it every month."

"So the kind and benevolent Lord Sangge Mahabhai has decided to change your repayment method to repay it all in one lump sum with interest after five years."

"Of course."

"If you make money in the meantime, you can pay it back to me in advance, and the interest will still be paid. It will still be for five years, and it must be settled in one lump sum."

After explaining the loan repayment method clearly, Dolly threw another mola into the music box and continued to enjoy the sound of the mola colliding.

This sound was Dolly's favorite sound in her life.

That's why there are outsiders here.

She would have danced to this music in her own palace, El Casazale.

One million molas.

In the rainforest area, this is not a big number.

But in the desert area, this amount of money can be described as astronomical figures.

For example.

Babel of the Tanit tribe.

After she killed all the elders in the tribe who hindered her and became the mistress, she devoted herself to integrating all the tribes in the desert and recreating the glory of Gul City's unification of the desert.

Such an ambitious hero who also rules the strongest tribe in the desert.

How much is her total savings?

Just two hundred thousand Mora.

This is all the wealth that the mistress of the Tanit tribe has accumulated after cheating and doing all kinds of evil things.

It can be seen from this.

The weight of the number one million molad in the desert area

No matter whether Rhodes is dissatisfied or not, at least Desiya feels that Dori has done her best by lending so many Moras.

And judging by Dolly’s words.

If you weren't worried about borrowing too many Rhodes at once and not being able to repay it, the Eye of God could even be mortgaged for more money.

"It will be repaid in full in five years with interest in one lump sum."

Dolly was very happy that she was willing to lend Rhodes one million Moradicia. After all, one million Moradicia should be enough for Rhodes' plan.

But this will be paid off in one lump sum with interest after five years.

If Rhodes doesn't make it yet.

"If he doesn't get it, then Master Sangge Mahabhai won't be so easy to talk to."

Dolly, who seemed to have been listening to the music box, interrupted.

And this is what Disiya is most worried about.

It is not easy to earn so many moras in the desert.

But the person who calls the shots is Rhodes after all.

Even if Disia feels that this loan contract is dangerous for him, she can't make the decision for Rhodes.

soon.

Rhodes' decision was made.

"can."

"but."

"I still have some conditions."

Hear this.

Dolly paused her hand movements, raised her eyelids slightly, changed her previous tone, and said in a cold voice: "Desert people, don't go too far~~"

"It's nothing too extreme."

Rhodes chuckled and said, "I want a breeding license for quicksand eels."

"what?"

There was a look of confusion on Dolly's face: "What do you want this for?"

To this, Rhodes' answer was one word: "Raise."

"keep?"

"Are you in Aru Village?"

Dolly then asked: "How do you know I have a breeding license for quicksand eels?"

"If a businessman like you doesn't have this license, then who can?"

Rhodes changed his tone, put on a helpless look, and said with a wry smile: "You have also read my plan. Livestock breeding is a very important part of it, and quicksand eels are the most suitable for breeding in the desert. It is an economic creature, but the Eastern and Western Order has strict control. Only those approved by them can breed and sell it, so I want a breeding license. "

then.

He emphasized again: "I just want a license, and I am not going to borrow more money from you. If the quicksand eel cultivation is successful, you will be able to obtain a stable sand fat pupa from Aru Village." If the purchase channel fails, I will bear the loss myself, and you will not lose anything. "

Sounds like a good deal.

Dolly agreed without much thought.

It was just a breeding license, and she had plenty of it, so it didn't hurt to give one to Rhodes.

But what Dolly didn't expect was.

After putting forward this additional condition, Rhodes said several other things.

Chicken seedlings, mushroom pig babies, date palm saplings, and various crop seeds that can grow in desert areas can be raised in the desert. Some of them are not produced in Sumeru and must be imported from foreign countries. And, they must not Few bountiful benefits.

As for the purchase money, it was directly deducted from Rhodes's loan of one million.

Just helping with purchasing.

Dolly agreed.

"The price will be based on my pricing, okay?"

"No comment."

"I need a lot of things. I'll deliver them in half a month, okay?"

"no problem."

"Okay, let me do the math, um, um, oh, there are still a total of 719,421 molas left. Do you want to come and take a look at the bill?"

"I can rest assured that you can figure it out."

"Okay, I'll give you the bill, the contract is concluded, the money is here, take it."

After taking out part of the mola from the box, Dolly handed it to Rod together with the bill and mola.

This loan contract was concluded.

Chapter 36 The request that gives Candice a headache

Return to Aru Village.

The first thing Rhodes did was to find Candice and quit his job as a guard.

The reason is simple.

"I no longer have the Eye of God, and I can no longer use the elemental power."

I don’t know what means Dolly used.

In short.

After the deal between Rhodes and her was concluded, Rhodes clearly felt that the connection between himself and the Eye of God disappeared.

That's right.

It's just that I can't directly sense my ice elemental god's eye.

Rod tried.

It is true that he can no longer use the ice elemental power now.

"Where is your God's Eye?"

Candice was shocked when she heard Rhodes say this.

On the continent of Teyvat, things like the Eye of God are called God-given existences.

Although there is no divine power contained in it.

But the Eye of God has one characteristic that is extremely special.

That means it can't be lost.

Don't look at it, the shape of the Eye of God is like a glass bead.

But even if it is chopped up with knives and axes, burned by fire and covered with earth, even if it is thrown under a cliff or into the deep sea, it will return to the user on its own.
