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

The temptation of sugar is still great for a little girl who has been homeless for a long time. Even now, her face still looks like a frightened kitten, but there is a bit more desire in her eyes.

"Ah."

Rhodes nodded and secretly made another gesture to Disiya.

Disiya understood and quickly gave him all the date palm honey in her pocket.

"Now, look, these are all yours."

"I have more here. If you want to eat, I can fill you up at any time."

Rhodes held the candy in his left hand and was still waving at Cole with his right hand.

It feels like a bad guy trying to trick a little girl with a lollipop.

A very low-level deception technique.

The effect is surprisingly good.

Kelai was really tempted by the date palm honey and slowly moved out of the corner. Seeing that no one came to catch him, he rushed forward and hugged the date palm honey tightly in his arms, his eyes wary. Glancing back and forth around.

Rhodes tried to reach out his hand, touched her messy head like a henhouse and said, "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Just made contact.

Rhodes could clearly feel Cole's body tightening.

Fortunately.

This time she didn't resist anymore, she stood there honestly, not moving at all, but her arms around Date Palm Honey became harder and harder.

Chapter 45 They just want to live

"Sleep?"

Desiya, who was sitting by the campfire in the yard, asked softly.

This is the first night of taking in Kelai.

This little guy who has been wandering in the desert for a long time has caused Rhodes a lot of trouble.

For example, if you don’t eat, you must eat sweets.

For example, she didn't take a shower even though she was dirty. In the end, Desiya knocked her unconscious and took a shower. The price was that Kelai immediately hid away when he saw her after waking up.

Furthermore, I would not sleep at night, and would huddle in a dark corner, refusing to come out no matter how loud I screamed.

"Well, I went to sleep."

After struggling all day, Rhodes twisted his body.

Kelai is very vigilant.

Except for Rhodes, no one else was allowed to get close to him, and he would bite anyone who came over. He spent a lot of effort to coax her to sleep.

"How is your hand?" Desiya asked with concern.

"never mind."

Rhodes showed off his intact right hand. The wound bitten by Cole during the day had now fully recovered.

His fire elemental power was the same as his ice elemental power. They both had their own healing abilities, and the healing effects were similar. The area bitten by Kelai healed in the blink of an eye.

"It's okay."

"Your elemental power is really strange."

After muttering something in a low voice, Disiya changed the topic and said in a serious tone: "There is something wrong with this little girl. She does not stay here sincerely."

Although Collet hid it well.

But everyone present at the time could tell that she was willing to stay here not because she was greedy for the food, but because she had other ideas.

By this time, she had fallen asleep, and Desiya was free to discuss the matter with Rhodes.

But Rhodes didn't care about this.

He held a branch in his hand and stirred the bonfire while replying: "Yeah, I know."

"Knowing that you still keep her?"

Hearing this, Desiya's voice couldn't help but rise a little higher.

"Shh-"

Rhodes did not explain, but gently raised his finger to signal Disiya to keep her voice down.

"—!"

Disiya was a little angry, holding back her anger and said: "Aren't you afraid that this little girl will cause you trouble?"

"fine."

"She can't make any waves, and it's not her who's in trouble."

Rhodes said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, I kept her for my own reasons. Look at when I did something that made me suffer."

"."

What he said was reasonable, and Disiya didn't know how to continue to persuade him.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

In the huge yard.

Apart from the sound of the cold wind, there was only the crackling sound of the bonfire burning.

After a long time.

Only then did Dixia take the initiative to speak.

"What are you going to do?"

"Are you just going to take her in?"

She considered reality, continued the topic just now, and continued to analyze for Rhodes: "She is suffering from magic scale disease. If she stays here, the situation will only get worse. If she dies here, it will be very troublesome. I heard that the decree There is a hospital that specializes in treating demonic scale disease, it seems to be called Vitality House, and it’s not far from Aru Village.”

Before she could finish speaking, Rhodes interrupted: "I won't let her go anywhere, especially that bullshit Vitality House."

"!?"

Disiya was startled, then reacted immediately: "Is there something wrong with the Vitality House?"

"has a problem?"

"Ah--"

Rhodes sneered: "That place is specially designed to trick people into doing human experiments. It is not a serious place to treat magic scale disease."

"what?"

This was the first time that Disiya knew about this, and she couldn't help but look shocked: "Is what you said true?"

Suddenly.

She thought of another thing, widened her eyes and said, "All the people with demon scale disease in the village have been sent there! If it's really like what you said, wouldn't that be true!!!"

"Hopeless."

Rhodes shook his head: "Anyone who goes in there can't come out like a normal person."

"no!"

"How can you ignore death and not save him!"

“Since that place is specially designed to harm people, why not rescue them!!!”

Desiya ignored what Rhodes said, and in a rage, she went to find Candice to discuss saving people.

But before she could take a few steps, she was dragged back by Rhodes.

"What are you going to do?"

"The protection of that place is tighter than that of Xumi City, and the leader can fight better than the Gale Disciplinary Officer. Unless someone from the Order Academy takes action, it will be impossible to snatch people out from there."

As he spoke, Rhodes pursed his lips towards the room where Kelai was sleeping: "Well, she escaped from a laboratory similar to that place."

"."

The first thing that came to Desiya's mind was not to sympathize with Kelai or anything else, but to wonder: "How do you know this?"

"I encountered a laboratory like this in the desert and saw the miserable conditions in the laboratory."

Rhodes found a random reason.

Anyway, no one knows what those stupid laboratories in the desert are like, so they can just lie.

Next.

He told Desiya some of the things he knew.

These include but are not limited to surgery to remove brain lobes to keep the patient calm; using a special instrument to dialyze the patient's whole body blood to reduce the concentration of elemental forces; and taking organs from normal people to replace the elements caused by the patient. Organs with abnormal content; forced replacement of patient's limbs, skin and other body parts; and the worst of all, experiments on injecting demon residue into living bodies.

No picture.

Just listening to Rhodes' description gave Desiya a layer of goosebumps.

"Is this really something a human can do?"

Desiya pursed her lips.

She didn't know why, but she felt a slight sense of fear towards the attending physician that Rhodes mentioned.

It’s not like Desiya has never killed anyone.

In desert areas, especially deep in the desert, killing people is commonplace.

But if she was asked to remove organs from living people without any emotion and then install them into another person, she asked herself that she couldn't do it.

And people who can do this without changing their expressions.

Even if they haven't even met him, it's enough to make people fear him.

"Unfortunately."

"In these hospitals that treat patients with demonic scale disease, all their doctors are real people, not monsters or ghosts."

Rhodes looked at Disiya seriously and warned: "Don't try to provoke those people. We can't afford to provoke them. If we really fall out, with the strength of that group of people, you, me, the Blazing Hunter, including Ah As a result, everyone in the village may end up dead without a burial place.”

"I, I know."

After being repeatedly warned by Rhodes, coupled with the description of those horrific experimental scenes, no matter how much Desiya wanted to treat those innocent patients, she could only helplessly look at the moon in the sky and sigh: "They are all poor people who want to survive." People.”

"Yes."

"They're just trying to survive."

Looking at the full moon in the sky, Rhodes also sighed.

Chapter 46 Interrogation

This night.

Collet slept restlessly.

Even if Rhodes' home is safe, there is no need to consider the various crises that may arise in the desert.

But she still woke up many times.

When she woke up from the nightmare, she had a ferocious face, her whole body was covered with purple-black smoke and mist, and she was extremely manic. Rhodes had to knock her out every time to keep her quiet.

Just once or twice.

But Ke Lai basically wakes up every one or two hours, and her sleep is very shallow. She will wake up at the slightest disturbance. Rhodes has no way to deal with it, so he can only subdue Ke Lai, who is irritable because of the awakening, over and over again. Lai.

This caused Rhodes to stay up almost all night, and he just sat on the chair and watched the whole night despite his sleepiness.

dawn.

Kelai finally woke up.

However, she had already opened her eyes but did not get up. Instead, she grabbed the quilt and huddled inside, quietly observing the surrounding situation.

"Ha-ah~"
