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

soon.

He knew what the problem was.

My home was robbed.

In order to protect his family's belongings from being stolen, Kelai fought with the three thieves.

With Kelai's small stature.

Naturally, it is not enough for three tall and strong mercenaries.

Even if Kelai himself was stronger than an adult, he still couldn't defeat three experienced mercenaries.

In a hurry.

Kelai ignored Rhodes' agreement and once again aroused the Black Flame Snake.

If Adebayi, who was next door, hadn't arrived in time and stopped Kelai when she was about to kill someone, things would have completely gone wrong.

But even so.

When he saw Adebayi who was seriously injured after being affected by the black flame snake.

Rhodes was surprised, and his anger almost reached the sky.

He never expected that Adebayi, who was completely at odds with him, would rush to his house.

And in order to protect Kelai and prevent her from being expelled for violating the village's rules, Adebayi almost risked his life.

You must know that Kelai's Black Flame Snake has the ability to specially attack humans.

Although its destructive power against inanimate matter is average, the Black Flame Snake is extremely persistent in living things and can devour a large living person in less than a minute with all its strength.

In order to stop Kelai, who was losing his mind due to anger, Adebayi hugged Kelai tightly, regardless of the fact that his hands were burned until the bones were exposed. Only then did she finally calm down.

It is precisely because of this.

Ke Lai's current state can not be described as "autistic".

How could Rhode not be angry about this?

And it's not just as simple as being angry.

His murderous intention, which had been hidden for a long time, became restless again.

"It seems that the fact that I don't have the Eye of God has attracted a lot of people's attention."

Rhodes' face was frosty, and his voice became even colder.

"Salem."

"Tarek."

"Abdallah."

Every time Rhodes pronounced a name, Attia couldn't help but feel a twinge in his heart.

These three people were the thieves who came to Rhodes' house to steal things.

And now they are hanging on the crooked tree outside Rhodes' house.

Rhodes was very ruthless.

Without any regard for the kindness of his former comrades, he twisted the hands of all three men and broke their legs.

Under the scorching sun and serious injuries, the three of them were already dying. The scavenging vultures were squatting on the tree trunks, waiting for when the three of them would die and have a delicious meal.

This is also the reason why Attia was speechless when he saw Rhodes.

He suddenly realized.

It seems that he doesn't understand Rhodes at all.

The guy who was a bit lazy, enthusiastic, and always had a smile on his face has now become more ferocious than the most ferocious holy beast in the sandstorm.

"Miss Candice."

Rhodes called Candice's name again.

Upon hearing this extremely dignified title, Candice's expression became slightly solemn, and she immediately replied: "Mr. Rhodes, I will deal with them according to the rules of the village. No matter how meritorious they are in guarding the village, I will never show any favoritism." Personal."

This is the most Candice can do.

She is the guardian of Aru Village, so she naturally has to act according to the rules.

Steal, hurt.

According to the rules of Aru Village, you need to be whipped and beaten with a cane. Depending on the seriousness of the case, the biggest subsequent punishment is to be expelled from the village, and you will never be able to set foot in the village again.

But Rhodes was not satisfied with this.

"He broke into my house, stole property, and severely injured my family members."

"If only it were that simple."

"Wouldn't it be possible for big thieves and petty thieves to come and visit my house casually in the future?"

Rhodes stared at Candice and said calmly: "They must die, and I want everyone in the village to know that if anyone dares to come to my house to cause trouble again, I will kill one, and I will kill two." Kill a pair."

As soon as these words came out.

Attia, who originally had a sense of luck, was completely desperate. He closed his eyes and sighed deeply.

From the first moment he saw Rhodes today, he knew that this could not be a good thing.

There was definitely no way I could save those three idiots who were blinded by money.

Now it's up to Candice.

According to the trial process of Aru Village, if a person in the village breaks the rules, Rhodes should hand the prisoner to the guardian Candice, who will then convict and punish him.

This is why Candice has repeatedly emphasized that she will not show favoritism.

But look at it now.

Rhodes wanted to bypass the guardians and directly use lynching to execute the prisoners on the spot who were not guilty of the crime, as a demonstration of his authority.

This is not in line with the rules of Aru Village.

If Candice agrees to Rhodes' request, it will be equivalent to her being the guardian of the village breaking the village's rules.

With Candice’s character.

He probably won't agree directly.

Unfortunately.

The direction of things was still beyond Attia's expectation.

After listening carefully to Rhodes' request, Candice hesitated for a moment and then said: "These three people have indeed broken the rules of the village, so according to the rules, they will no longer be protected by the village. In this case, whether they live or die has nothing to do with the village."

Then, she changed the topic and said with a tone that could not be refuted: "But everything must be done after the village's trial of them is over. Mr. Rhodes, do you understand?"

"very good."

Rhodes did not continue to insist on lynching at home and agreed with Candice.

It's enough if it can play a role in establishing authority. There is no need to go against the rules of the village.

(The second half has been rewritten. The more I read it, the more inappropriate it became. I also copied a comment from a comment section boss (ω).)

Chapter 56 Just cry out

(The second half of Chapter 55 was rewritten yesterday. Anyone who hasn’t seen it can refresh it. I really feel that the writing is inappropriate and does not fit Candice’s character. It has been revised overnight.)

A burglary incident passed quickly.

of course.

This means that the incident has passed, but it does not mean that the subsequent impact of the incident can be easily overcome.

After Candice pronounced the sentence that the three thieves who were originally guards would be permanently expelled from Aru Village, Rhodes twisted the necks of these three people one by one 360 ​​degrees in front of all the villagers who came to watch.

This was the first time anyone dared to take action directly after the trial.

What surprised the villagers even more was that Candice didn't make any statement and just said calmly: "They are no longer protected by Aru Village."

As soon as these words came out.

Coupled with this, Rhodes' sharp eyes swept across the entire venue like an eagle.

Not to be messed with.

These three words quietly came to the hearts of the villagers.

in the next few days.

Discussions about this turmoil have never stopped in the village. This is basically what the villagers talk about after dinner.

It's just that Rhodes, as the person involved, has never been seen again since that day.

Rod's house.

Adebayi, who was seriously injured while protecting Kelai, has been staying here to recuperate for the past few days.

However, his performance did not look like he was seriously injured at all.

He was seen leaning on the bed in high spirits, drinking the medicine Kelai fed him sip after sip.

Outside.

After sending away the doctor invited from Kavanyi, Rhodes walked in shaking his head.

Adebayi's hands are useless.

The Black Flame Snake is no joke.

Fortunately, Kelai still retained her sanity when fighting the three thieves. Otherwise, if she had obeyed the demon and burst out with all her resentment, Adebayi would have been burned to ashes on the spot.

But even so.

Adebayi's hands were still irreversibly damaged.

And this is not only as simple as losing his hands, it also declares the end of Adebayi's academic career, and there is no longer any possibility of engaging in academic research.

"Why are you doing this?"

Rhodes has asked this question several times every day these days.

In his impression, Adebayi was a scholar who hated the desert people extremely, just like the old Roy who would rather seek death than teach the desert people.

But why is he suddenly willing to sacrifice his life to protect Kelai, a desert man suffering from magic scale disease?

only.

Every time Adebayi responded with a cold snort.

It seems that he is still brooding about the fact that Rhodes was so angry with him at the beginning.

"Ugh--"

There was nothing Rhode could do.

The past was before and the present is now.

In the past, in order to get Adebayi to focus on himself, he could look for opportunities to obtain plant grafting and hybridization techniques from him.

Now that Adebayi almost died for Kelai, no matter how cold-blooded Rhodes was, he would not be so impersonal that he would continue to harm him.

After thinking about it for a while.

Rhodes, who was unwilling to give up, continued: "I know you don't want to talk to me, but I suggest you take care of Kelai's emotions."

"After you were injured."

Having said this, Rhodes paused and glanced at Kelai, who was silent and just feeding medicine like a machine, and said helplessly: "She blames herself and is also worried about you."

Hearing Collet's name.

Adebayi's stern face finally relaxed a little, and it was the first time he took the initiative to talk to Rhodes since he came in.

It's just that these words don't sound very nice.

What he said was: "Do you want to take care of my affairs?"

"Why don't you let me take care of it?"
