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

"Forced by the God King's legacy?"

"Hehe, this nonsense can only fool people like you who have never been a mercenary."

"Rhode, I know you have good intentions."

"But you really don't have to worry about this anymore. I know who Kusela is much better than you."

"It's just a sentence anyway."

"It's impossible for me to reconcile with someone like him, not even in this life!"

Desiya said categorically, leaving no room for relaxation.

"Okay, let me put it another way."

"Your father told me that he wanted to change his mind and go to Aru Village to pay for the sins he had committed."

With that said, Rhodes winked at Kusela: "I'm right, Uncle Kusela."

"what?"

"Oh, yes, yes, that's it."

Kusela nodded repeatedly and said: "I am tired of the life of a mercenary and want to start from scratch."

He said it nicely.

It's just that this statement is obviously unacceptable to Disiya.

"you?"

"Start from scratch?"

"You can start from scratch, but what about those people who were harmed by you? How can those people you killed start from scratch?"

Desiya's words were so sharp that they made Kusela speechless. The little hope he had just raised was shattered again, and he lowered his head gloomily. It seemed that he had given up hope of reconciling with Desiya again.

And Disiya hasn’t finished speaking yet.

As soon as she finished scolding Kusela, she pointed the finger at Rhodes again.

"Come, let me ask you."

"If the Tanit tribe is willing to change their minds and start over, will you forgive them?"

Very good question.

Fortunately, Rhodes had already thought that she would say this.

After all, when he was in Kavanyi, Rhodes' hatred for the Tanit tribe had reached a level where he could kill people even at the risk of being caught.

In this regard.

Rod's answer was this.

"I will show no mercy to evildoers."

"Innocent people, I will not affect them."

"Sincerely repentant, I will be willing to give them a chance."

Then look at Desiya's slightly surprised expression.

Rhodes sighed: "Don't kill me as brutally as I thought. I hate the Tanit tribe for kidnapping me, beating me and almost killing me, but I also know that their tribe is not all evil people. There are some normal people out there." Yes, as long as there are people who sincerely repent, I am still willing to let them go. "

"That's nice to say."

"How do you tell if they are sincerely repentant?"

"Deception, this is an instinct that goes deep into the bones of mercenaries. Can you ensure that they are sincerely repentant? Instead of pretending to be pitiful like him to deceive your sympathy?"

It was obvious that Desiya believed in Rhodes' statement that he was not a brutal murderer, and she truly believed that Rhodes would not kill people indiscriminately.

But she didn't believe in Kusela's character, nor did she believe in the mercenary's character.

"Hehe, of course I have a way."

"for example."

"What you are thinking now is that if Kusela is really willing to repent, it is not impossible to give him a chance."

Following the voice in his mind, Rhodes directly spoke out what Disiya was thinking.

Mind reading.

Nacida's unique ability as a grass god.

Although it can only read the voices of Sumeru people, it is enough for Rhodes.

However, just like possession, Nacida feels that it is rude to listen to other people's thoughts at will, so she basically does not use this ability on weekdays.

Of course.

At Rhode's request, she could reluctantly make an exception.

Then, with Desiya's blushing face, Rhodes said to Kusela: "I'm leaving tonight. I can't affect Desiya anymore."

The voice just fell.

Kusela, who was still a little skeptical at first, couldn't shut up immediately. Like Disia, she looked at Rhodes in surprise.

"Well, this is my method."

Rhodes spread his hands: "It's just that it's too impolite to read other people's thoughts casually. Otherwise, I can tell what you are thinking at any time."

Such a magical ability.

Disiya definitely didn't believe it, so she asked again: "Then what am I thinking about now?"

"You're thinking"

In the middle of speaking, Rhodes' expression suddenly turned weird and he said, "What you just thought was that Rhodes was a bastard, and now you think that Rhodes is a good person."

“You really know”

Desiya was stunned and murmured.

"so."

"You can't hide what Uncle Kusela is thinking from me at all."

"same."

"I will also use this method to identify people from the Beard of Akhmar and the Tanit tribe."

"If they sincerely repent, I will let them stay in the village as coolies to repay the sins they committed. Of course, there is no freedom in such atonement. For the rest of their lives, they will have nothing to do except working as coolies in Aru Village. can not go."

"This matter is not negotiable."

"If there is still someone who is stubborn, I will not show mercy if there is any abnormality in his voice."

Rhodes turned to Kusela and grinned: "Uncle Kusela won't tell anyone about my ability, right?"

Rhodes bite the last few words so hard that Kusela couldn't help but feel frightened.

The threat in these words was too strong.

Kusela had no doubt that if he had leaked the secret, Rhodes would teach him a lesson he would never forget.

But Rhodes was still overly worried.

If someone else had such a terrifying ability, Kusela might let it out out of fear.

But who is Rod?

God’s messenger!

This ability of his may be a gift from the Red King in his mouth or an unknown god.

And don’t mention this identity.

There is a high possibility that Rhodes will be his son-in-law in the future.

There is no reason for a father-in-law to cheat his son-in-law!

Therefore, as soon as Rhodes finished speaking, Kusela immediately vowed that he would never leak any of this matter.

that's it.

A peacemaking meeting between father and daughter ended after Rhodes revealed that he had the ability to read minds.

The effect is still obvious.

Although Disiya still ignored Kusela, at least she no longer had any trouble with Rhodes.

Stay until evening.

The family, who had been eating separately for several days, were finally able to have a meal together, and Kawi, who had been living in his father's house, also came to have a meal.

Although not as lively as before.

But no one lost their temper this time, and everyone had a good time eating.

After sending the drunk Kawi back to his home, Rhodes and Disiya walked in the dim streets together.

Neither of them spoke, and they walked like this for a long time before Yudisiya broke the silence and said: "Your mind-reading ability shouldn't have been there since I met you, right?"

"Ah."

Rhodes admitted openly: "I got it by chance in Xumi City. By the way, I didn't tell the truth during the day. This ability cannot be used casually. There are certain conditions. It's not that I don't want to use it. But it’s useless.”

"I'll just say it."

"If you have this ability from the beginning, you will always show flaws."

Desiya did not ask where this ability came from, but said with relief: "Thank you, Rhodes."

"correct."

"There are some things I think it would be best to let you know."

Rhode's expression remained unchanged and he said softly: "You are actually not Kusela's biological daughter."

"what?"

Desiya's feet suddenly stopped and she looked at Rhodes with trembling eyes: "You, what did you say?"

"It is what it is."

"Otherwise, why do you think I am so enthusiastic about Kusela? Why do you insist on keeping him at home even though you know you don't like Kusela, and forcefully persuade you to have a relationship with your father and daughter?"

Rhodes sighed: "When he and you had just finished arguing and were so angry that they went out, I used my mind-reading technique on him, and then I heard such a thing from his heart."

As he said that, Rhodes imitated Kusela's way of speaking and imitated it perfectly: "She's not my daughter, she's just a picked-up child. Why should I be so nice to her! She can do whatever she wants! Everything. It has nothing to do with me, yes, it has nothing to do with me!”

Chapter 102 If the tree is crooked, it must be repaired

Knowing that she is not Kusela's biological daughter is indeed a substantial help to the relationship between Disiya and Kusela.

Compared to before.

Since that day, the two of them can at least speak a few words every day, and they are no longer like strangers like before.

It's just that there is always a chance, an opportunity for them to speak openly.

But Rhodes didn't care about what happened next.

There was only so much he could help.

No matter how detailed the matter is, Desiya still has to figure it out on her own.

Anyway.

She regards freedom and justice as her life creed, and it is indeed difficult for her to accept the things that Kusela and Akhmar's Beard once did.

Although many of the things they did were forced by the legacy of the God King.

But since they would use this matter as bragging rights, it shows that they actually do not regard these evil deeds as something that they cannot live with in their conscience.

What's more, Desiya also told Rhodes a lot about what she saw and heard in Akhmar's Beard when she was young.

Even when guarding against Desiya.

She could often see the members of the group messing around after drinking.

There are even times when Kucera gets involved.
