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

Chapter 96 Kawei’s father’s past

"Hell, isn't it?"

Playing with the grass-green Eye of God in his hand, Rhodes still didn't understand.

Last night, he discovered the Eye of God at Nasida's reminder, and he hasn't slept since he woke up.

He really didn't want to understand.

what is this?

Could it be that he was handsome enough and Tianli liked it, so he gave him a few more God's Eyes?

Rhodes is indeed big-hearted.

But now he can't be arrogant.

"I'm sorry, I don't know how to explain this."

Nasida, who had disappeared all night, reappeared: "I searched in the void last night. I'm sorry, I didn't find any theory or case that can explain this matter."

"okay, I get it."

Rhodes rubbed his temples and put away the Eye of Grass Elemental God.

Even the grass god couldn't figure it out.

How could a mortal like him figure it out?

Have this free time.

Might as well get down to business.

As for what Rhodes was talking about.

In fact, it was a long-standing promise to take Kawi to the house where his father once lived.

It just seemed like this guy didn't get much sleep last night. When he woke up in the morning, he had a pair of brightly colored panda eyes on his face.

"Eh? What happened to you again?"

Finding that Rhodes was not in a high mood, Kawei asked doubtfully.

He misses his father. What's going on with Rod, this guy who laughs and laughs all day long?

Disiya heard the sound and looked over.

"What happened?"

Rhodes rarely showed such an expression, and Desiya's voice was somewhat worried.

"nothing."

"Well--"

"It's hard to talk about it. Forget it, I'll tell you when I have time."

No matter how much I think about the fact that I have the third eye of god, it is not easy to talk about it.

It doesn't matter to Desiya if she knows.

But it is inconvenient for others to know this.

And now was not the time to talk about it. Rhodes, who was feeling a little depressed, waved his hand casually, took Kawei out and went straight to Aru Village.

soon.

The two of them saw Candice waiting for them at the entrance of the village.

"Mr. Rhodes, and this Mr. Carvey, come with me."

Candice, who had been notified by Rhodes in advance, remained the same as before, speaking softly but not very enthusiastic.

Follow her around the village.

initial.

Thinking about the fact that he was about to see the house where his father once lived, Kawei still felt quite complicated. He didn't know how he would face this matter when the time came.

Then he discovered it as he walked.

This Rhodes seems to be very unpopular in Aru Village.

The young lady who calls herself the guardian walks in front, and everyone who sees her will greet her warmly.

But as soon as these people saw Rhodes, they all felt as if they had seen a ghost, and they quickly walked away from him as soon as possible.

This made Kavi couldn't help but be surprised.

Rhodes had a pretty good impression on him. He cooked delicious food, was highly knowledgeable and experienced, and was also good at farming. He heard that he had taken care of the injured Adebayi and the child Kelai by himself before. , his heart doesn't look bad either.

Why are people in this village so afraid of him?

At this time, Rhodes, who was walking side by side with Kawei, said quietly: "Because I ignored the rules of the village and killed someone, and I haven't been punished yet."

"kill?"

Kawei's expression was startled, and his eyes towards Rhodes changed slightly.

This guy can still kill people?

"In the desert, you can't help yourself."

Rhodes chuckled: "You will know if you live here for a long time. Although violence is not the solution to the problem, violence can solve the people who caused the problem."

As soon as the words came out.

Candice couldn't help but look back at him.

"Miss Candice, do you think what I said is wrong?"

Seeing this, Rhodes grinned at Candice.

"No, I think you are right."

To Kawei's surprise, this seemingly amiable guardian actually agreed with Rhodes' statement.

"hehe."

Seeing Kawei's surprised expression, Rhodes patted him on the shoulder: "Take your time, you will get used to it in the future."

While talking.

The three of them came to a clean house.

it's here.

There was an old woman sitting in front of the door, fanning herself leisurely.

As soon as she saw Candice coming, she immediately stood up and greeted her with a smile: "Miss Candice, you are here."

"Grandma Lishti, this is the Mr. Kawei I told you about yesterday."

After Candice replied with a smile, she handed over Kawi and Rhodes to the old woman named Lishti.

"Well, it looks like, it looks like, it really looks like."

As soon as Candice left, Lishti started to circle around Kavi and kept saying things like.

For a long time.

She just came out of her memories and said melancholy: "It is indeed that person's child, they all look exactly the same."

"You, do you know my father?"

Kavi's voice was trembling.

If he was skeptical at first, now that Lishti said this, he seemed to have some kind of telepathy and was sure that the 'man' Lishti was talking about was his father.

"I don't know if he's your father."

"He never said his name to us, he just helped us."

Lishti sighed and hunched over to the house with her hands behind her back: "Come on, kid, let's talk here."

Same as outside.

The house is also clean.

You don't need to think about it. Someone must come to clean it regularly.

There was not much furniture in the room, just a table and a chair, not even a bed or wardrobe.

After entering the door, Lishti picked up a small rag and wiped the old furniture while saying to Kawei and Rhodes: "It was not like this here before, but you all know the conditions in the village. There are not many things. These two items are the last items in this family that can be preserved for more than twenty years.”

then.

She began to tell what happened that year.

"This started twenty years ago."

"Life in the village was much harder at that time than it is now."

"Poverty, disease, ignorance."

"These problems are bothering us all the time."

"Until a young man from the Self-religious Order came to the village."

Hear this.

A touch of sadness suddenly appeared on Kawei's face.

It was precisely because he said that he thought the crown at the college celebration was particularly beautiful that his father decided to participate in the competition, win the championship for Kavi, and give the crown to him to play with for a few days.

At that time, the event was not complicated, and Kawi's father was recognized as being able to win.

But it's a pity.

He ultimately missed the championship and disappeared for a period of time after the game. Then Kawi and his mother received the news that his father had died unexpectedly in the desert.

This incident became an eternal nail in Kawei's heart, and he could not pull it out no matter how hard he tried.

Today it is today.

He felt that his words killed his father.

"Don't think about the past anymore, focus on the present, for example, listen to Grandma Lishti tell your father's story."

Rod's relief was effective.

Kavi immediately came out of the shadow of the past and listened to Lishti's story with rapt attention.

"That young man, he is obviously a genius from the Order Academy and has a bright future, but he is willing to suffer here with us."

"He taught us knowledge so that children can recognize words, read, and live a better life."

"He also told us how to deal with sandstorms and monsters."

"Well, he taught us the suspension bridges and measures to prevent sandstorms in the village."

"Ugh--"

"We were so poor at that time that we couldn't even afford medicinal materials. Many people had to wait to die when they got sick."

"After he saw it, he spent all his money to buy medicine and personally took care of those who were sick."

"What a pity, what a pity."

“Good people don’t live long——”

At this point, Lishti's voice became sad.

And Kawei was trembling slightly, crying a little, and asked with difficulty: "He, how did he die?"

"At that time, your father would often leave the village and go to the desert for inspections."

"One time I asked him what he was looking for?"

"He said he wanted to talk to a guy named Naga or something from the group."

"Later, when he went on an inspection trip, he encountered a caravan that got stuck in quicksand on the way back. He saved many people, but he didn't come back."

Speaking of it.

Kawei couldn't control his emotions at all, and tears fell from his eyes.
