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

At the beginning.

Collet could never remember these things.

In the laboratory, food and water were put in fixed basins, and there were no tableware. They were all grabbed by hand. Taking a bath was even more luxurious. Usually, those people would force Kelai to wash it before going to the experimental table. A bath.

This is especially true when wandering in the desert.

Then it would be a problem to even fill the stomach, let alone pay attention to personal hygiene.

Kelai, who had no personal habits in this regard, was often scolded by Rhodes.

first time.

Kelai was quite resistant to these troublesome requests.

Over time.

I gradually got used to it.

Now, the first thing she does after getting dressed every morning is to wash up, and then have breakfast.

Speaking of which.

There was another thing that made Cole particularly uncomfortable.

That's chopsticks.

This thing is the tableware from Liyue.

In Xumi, people generally use spoons and forks, and some food, such as pilaf, is eaten directly with bare hands.

Chopsticks.

In Aru Village, apart from Rhodes, there is really no one to use.

Kelai doesn't like using chopsticks very much.

Suffering from magic scale disease, she couldn't use these two small wooden sticks at all.

Fortunately.

Rhodes did not force her to use chopsticks, and even got her a brand new set of spoons and forks. The only requirement was that she was no longer allowed to eat with her hands.

Kelai can still accomplish this small request.

After putting away the tableware and cleaning the pots, Kelai opened the door and walked out.

Looking at the golden color in the courtyard that contrasted sharply with the blue sky, she muttered dissatisfiedly: "What a disgusting weather."

talking.

She went to the corner and took out a big broom, ready to clean the yard covered with yellow sand.

This was part of the agreement between her and Rhodes.

If you want to have enough to eat, you have to work accordingly.

usually.

Rod was responsible for cooking, teaching her reading, writing and arithmetic.

Kelai is responsible for cleaning the house and simple tasks like cutting feed that only require effort.

After such a period of time.

The two actually got along quite harmoniously.

Especially the piece of milk candy after studying every day.

Thinking of this.

Kelai's saliva was about to flow out.

Unlike Dolly, who has eaten all kinds of delicacies.

Even if the milk candy made by Rhodes is a little rough for Kelai and Desiya, it is still a delicious snack that can be quite enjoyed.

Especially after Dolly's suggestion.

Rhodes has added various fruit juices to the new milk candies he made recently, and the taste is many times better than before.

"Humph--"

"Just give me that much for Disiya, but if you come to me, you'll still get one piece a day!"

As Kelai swept the yard, he thought about it full of resentment.

When Desiya returned to Sumeru City the day before yesterday, Kelai saw with his own eyes that Rhodes had filled her with a bag full of milk candies, including several new flavors that he had not tasted before.

Think again that you can only eat one piece of milk candy a day, and you have to complete the exercises for the day.

The resentment in Kelai's heart became even worse, and the movements of his hands became much bigger.

Kelai is very strong.

With her full of resentment, the small courtyard suddenly looked like a small sandstorm, with yellow sand flying everywhere.

The consequences of doing so.

Those places that had been swept clean were once again covered with sand and dust.

"call--"

"Ke Lai, Ke Lai! Calm down, calm down, calm down!!!"

"It's just a few pieces of candy, what does it matter if you eat it or not!"

"When you finish working here and pay off all your debts, you can eat as much candy as you want."

Looking at his 'masterpiece', Kelai quickly persuaded himself to calm down his restless emotions again.

The person whom Rhodes promised to help him seal those strange things in his body has not come yet, saying that he has not been contacted yet.

Therefore, during this period of time, Kelai was still relying on his own will to fight against the temptations of the demons and gods.

Fortunately.

Ever since Rhodes started forcing her to study, she discovered a wonderful way to fight against the demon's resentment.

That is reading.

As long as she immerses herself in reading and studying, no matter how much these demons complain, they will not affect her emotions like before.

Suddenly.

Kelai was about to turn his attention back to the cleaning work when he vaguely heard a small sound coming from what must have been an empty house.

It's not a loud sound.

Kelai thought he had heard wrongly. After listening carefully, he found that there was no sound coming from him, so he lowered his head again and started sweeping the yard.

But before she even scanned a few times, she heard another sound coming from the house.

This time the sound was much clearer than before.

It was obviously the sound of someone moving something heavy.

"Someone!!"

Kelai realized something immediately.

The house was robbed!

After realizing this, Kelai immediately threw away the broom and moved his feet to see what was going on.

But after taking only two steps, she suddenly stopped.

"This, this is not my home, why am I so concerned about whether I will lose something?"

This is a fact before our eyes.

In Kelai's view, he is an outsider after all.

Even staying here to be able to eat three full meals a day and sleep soundly is all the reward I get for working every day.

It comes down to it.

This is Rhodes' home, not his own.

And as long as he pays off his debts, he can leave here.

So why are you so concerned about whether the Rhodes family has been robbed?

"But."

"But."

Looking at this strange yet familiar house, Kelai bit his lip tightly.

In a trance.

The life here during this period flashed before my eyes one scene after another.

The scene where he was picked up by Desiya for not taking a shower, the scene where he was scolded by Rhodes for grabbing the food while eating, the scene where Rhodes was always patient in teaching him when he was studying, the scene when he got that piece of milk candy every day. The image of myself cheering for joy.

"Hu-hu-"

"That damn Rod."

"If he finds out that I know there is a thief in my house and I still don't protect him, he will definitely drive me out of here! By then, I won't be able to eat enough, and I will have to go back to the life of wandering in the desert. !”

"Yes, he will definitely do that!"

"So, so."

Think of excuses and reasons.

Kelai no longer struggled or hesitated, and rushed into the house with a broom.

Chapter 55 Arrogant Declaration of Murder (The second half was rewritten)

Rhodes' home was robbed.

He also injured people in his family.

This incident spread quickly in Aru Village.

After learning the news, Candice rushed over immediately and saw Rhodes with fire in his eyes.

Came with her.

It was Atiya, the leader of the Atiya mercenary group who once guarded the northern suspension bridge with Rhodes.

The reason is that he followed.

Because the people who came to Rhodes' house to steal things were people from his group.

Yes, that's right.

The people who came to Rhodes' house to steal things were not outsiders, but comrades who had fought alongside him in the past.

"Rod."

"me"

Attia originally wanted to ask for mercy from his team members, but when he saw Rhodes looking like he wanted to eat people, he suddenly hesitated. He had prepared many words, but he didn't say a single word. Not coming out.

"Oh, they're all here."

Rhodes' voice was no longer as usual, filled with a chilling coldness.

As a battle-hardened warrior.

When Candice and Atia heard this voice, they couldn't help but feel like they were facing a ferocious beast.

Their feelings weren't wrong.

Rhodes is indeed on the verge of breaking out.

After inspecting the experimental field this morning, and after confirming that the windbreak composed of date palm trees was indeed effective in resisting sandstorms, he came back full of joy.

When he came back, he made a special detour to Aru Village, where he bought some fresh meat and planned to get some delicious food for Kelai at noon to celebrate the initial success of the new experimental field.

The results of it.

Before he even entered the house, he noticed something was wrong at home.
