"As long as their faith in the Red King is firmer, they will often be the most steadfast after breaking down their original beliefs and establishing a new set of beliefs."

You must know that the image just now was not fabricated by Nashida. So as long as it is used properly in the future, a group of warriors with good combat effectiveness can be obtained in a short period of time.

Even if their motivation for joining the cause may be a little bit Sumeru-like, as long as they are reformed afterwards, they can still be transformed into firm people's fighters.

"Seno, can you show me your Red Sand Staff?"

Suddenly, Nashida made a request to Seno.

"It's impossible."

Of course, Seno had no objection. He immediately took out his weapon from his bag and handed it to Nashida.

"Perhaps this scepter is an important token that bears witness to the events that happened back then."

Touching the repetitive stripes on the Red Sand Staff, Nashida couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Although the sacred objects of the past are still in the hands of desert people, the form in which they are owned has undergone tremendous changes.

"Perhaps we can use it in our next trip to the desert."

Nashida knew the relationship between this scepter and the Red King. With it, she would be able to uncover some of the deepest secrets hidden beneath the Red King's ruins.

"Forbidden knowledge? I'm really curious~"

A hint of golden light seemed to flash in the depths of Nashida's emerald pupils.

Chapter 22 Rainforest Trends

"Newspapers for sale, newspapers for sale."

As the largest foreign trade hub in Xumi today, the Port of Omos has people from all over the world.

Similarly, it is common for new things from various countries to appear in Port Omos.

Then it is not surprising that newspapers, which are considered a new type of media in the continent of Teyvat, are sold in the port of Omos.

"Give me a copy of today's newspaper."

A tall, silver-haired man took out Mora, stopped a newspaper boy who was shouting everywhere, and then bought a copy of today's newspaper.

I picked up the newspaper and took a look. Due to technical reasons, this newspaper only contained some information about the Port of Omos and its vicinity. There was no news about farther places such as Xumi City.

However, Port of Omos is a large commercial port after all. Even if there is only this information, it is enough for some interested people to analyze some recent movements of Port of Omos hidden under the water.

"Tifa, how are our preparations for the disguise going?"

After quickly reading the newspaper and finding that it did not contain the information he wanted, the man threw the newspaper into the trash can beside him and turned to ask his subordinates behind him.

"It's going smoothly. We have successfully bribed the officer who is recruiting workers. We expect to be able to infiltrate the factory soon."

Seeing Elhaisen asking questions, the young scholar behind him also methodically presented all the information he had.

"Well done. Lord Grass God has gone to the desert now, so we can't fall behind in the rain forest."

After getting the answer he wanted, Elhaisen also praised the young scholar's talents in due course.

Although I felt a little strange as to why his parents gave a boy like him a girl's name.

But Elhaisen did not ask any further questions about this because such things were not important to his goal.

In Elhaisen's view, as long as one has talent and good character, no matter his background or age, he can move forward with him.

As for why he came to Port Omos from Xumi City, his story started a few months ago.

Before Nashida decided to go to the desert, she also left corresponding instructions and tasks to be completed for the main body of the Renaissance Alliance remaining in the rainforest.

The most important task is to organize the alliance’s cadres to go deep into the masses.

Because as an organization representing the interests of the vast majority of Xumi people, we must have a deep understanding of the current needs of the masses and the current living environment of various groups of people.

Only through investigation and research can we truly understand the current demands of the masses, formulate correct policies, and successfully lead the people to resist the old forces that exploit them.

In this regard, Nashida also gave corresponding suggestions.

“We should let our cadres personally participate in the daily production activities of the working people.”

If you want to gain the trust of the people, it is not enough to just shout a few slogans, but you must let the masses see what concrete things you will do for them.

But now the Renaissance Alliance does not control the government in Xumi, so if it wants to win the trust of the people, the best way is to truly participate in the labor of the masses and gradually establish a trusting relationship with them.

Only after mutual trust is established with the masses can it be possible to organize a mass movement.

This is a very difficult task, because the current cadres of the Renaissance Alliance are mainly composed of scholars and other people who did not participate in physical labor before.

But since we are determined to devote ourselves to the cause of reviving Xumi, we must learn to overcome these difficulties.

If you can't even bear this little hardship, then why are you joining the great cause of rejuvenation? You might as well go home and plant potatoes.

As the current nominal leader of the Renaissance Alliance, Elhaisen naturally has to take the lead in this matter.

Among many targets, he chose a winter enterprise in Port Omos.

As Xumi's main port for foreign exchanges, the Port of Omos not only has chambers of commerce from various countries, but also has some factories and enterprises controlled by capital from various countries.

Among them, the most popular ones are Zhidong and Fontainebleau.

In order to save the production costs of some products and to avoid the high tariffs imposed by the Xumi government on some commodities, the two industrial countries chose to invest in some local factories in Xumi.

After all, what Xumi lacks the least is a working population, and at the same time it can bypass tariffs, so why not do it?

Although this is a kind of capital export to Xumi, which has greatly impacted the related industries in the country, it has also objectively produced a group of proletarians in Xumi who represent advanced production relations.

Before Nashida created an organization, she noticed the existence of this small group when she traveled across Sumeru alone.

Even though their strength was very weak, Nashida still placed them in one of the most important positions.

Therefore, the first target that Elhaisen chose to personally attack was the group in Port Omos.

"Since everything is ready, let's notify the others and we will report together tomorrow."

Of course, he would not come to conduct the investigation alone, but would bring a lot of people with him.

"One more thing. Inform everyone to wear the special void terminal distributed by Lord Grass God. This can conceal our identities."

In order to ensure the normal progress of operations in various places, Nashida specially made a batch of special void terminals before leaving, in order to maintain communication while concealing her identity.

Following the usual naming convention, the Alliance named the group led by Elhaisen the Port Omos Group.

Similarly, other personnel distributed throughout Xumi also have their own corresponding code names.

For example, Tinari leads the Huachengguo group, and further north there is the Baida Port group and so on.

At this moment, the entire Renaissance Alliance is like a big net, covering the entire rainforest area with the help of Nashida's specially made void terminal.

Although the forces in various places are still very weak, the embryonic form has already appeared.

When Nashida brings back armed forces from the desert in the future, the rainforest side can then cooperate with the enemy from both inside and outside.

But these are things for the future. The current priority for each place is to develop and strengthen itself.

Of course, you can also have a strike or a riot from time to time, causing some trouble to the House of Worship while accumulating some experience in struggle.

Chapter 23 Desert Journey

Nothing happened that night, and early the next morning Nashida and Seno left the inn together.

Because she had to contact the agreed Gilded Brigade, Dishia left Kawan Posthouse earlier than the other two.

Walking on the streets of Kawanyi, Nashida couldn't help but look around this small border town sandwiched between the rainforest and the desert.

People dressed in desert or rainforest costumes appeared everywhere on the streets, mercenaries of different kinds walked through the streets carrying weapons, and caravans arrived or prepared to depart from time to time, forming a peculiar border picture.

After crossing the sand-proof wall that is like a towering mountain, the regional transition between rainforest and desert is completed, and what follows is an endless sea of ​​red sand.

However, before Nashida and the other person reached the agreed location, Dishia was already waiting for them on the roadside.

"Miss, everyone has gathered in front and the car is ready."

Nashida nodded to Dishia, then turned her attention to the strange man next to her.

The man was wearing desert ethnic clothing, had a very burly build, and had an eye patch on his left eye. The overall feeling he gave was that the words "I'm not easy to mess with" were written on his face.

"I guess this must be the famous Captain Rahman. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Seeing that Nashida chose to greet him actively, Rahman took the opportunity to step forward and start a conversation with her.

"No, no, it's our honor to be able to participate in this expedition." Rahman said a few polite words, then looked at Senor behind Nashida. "Who is this?" There was a hint of caution in his tone.

"This is Xiaosai, the scholar from the Academy of Teachings who is accompanying me on this investigation."

Nashida briefly introduced Seno to Rahman, but during the introduction, Nashida was trying hard to hold back her laughter.

In order to prevent his identity from being discovered, Seno has now changed his appearance and taken off his iconic clothes, replacing them with the uniform of an ordinary scholar of the Academy of Decrees.

I can only say that this set of universal uniforms of the House of Lords looks a bit awkward on Seno no matter how you look at it.

"So you are the scholar from the Ministry of Education. Nice to meet you, nice to meet you."

When asking Dishia to look for the Gilded Brigade, in order to conceal her tracks, Nashida chose to contact them as an archaeological team of the House of Lords.

They exchanged pleasantries for a while and then headed to the meeting place together.

The other members of the Gilded Brigade were already ready to set off here. For some reason, when they saw the arrival of Nashida and the others, these desert people also showed strange looks.

It was as if he had seen an enemy.

Nashida was not surprised by this. After all, in their eyes, the next thing they had to do was to dig up the Red King's grave. As fanatical believers of the Red King, their attitude was not surprising.

'Be careful of these people on the road.'

Seno, who was standing by, almost immediately noticed the hostility of the mercenaries towards them.

But seeing Nashida still chatting and laughing with Rahman, Seno did not do anything.

After all, our boss hasn't reacted, so why should we care? Why are we so anxious? You're King Gigi, right?

Seemingly having figured this out, Seno snorted coldly and suppressed his thoughts.

Thus, the group of people, each with their own ulterior motives, set out on the journey to the Red King's ruins.

...

The environment of the Sumeru Desert is completely different from that of the rainforest. If the rainforest is extremely humid, then the desert is extremely dry.

Whether it is the strong winds that blow from time to time in the desert, or the various dangerous creatures hidden under the quicksand, or the more gilded brigades than in the rainforest, all these make the desert much more dangerous than the rainforest.

In addition, the environment in the desert will change over time, which brings a sense of uncertainty to desert travel.

For example, a sand dune that was here last month may disappear without a trace the next month, and a road that was originally passable may turn into a big pit the next time you come.

Therefore, travelers to the desert often choose to hire a guide to avoid getting lost.

Merchants with more money would hire a small team of mercenaries to ensure their own safety.

Now, there is such a team walking in the desert...

Since setting out from Kawanyi, Nashida and her companions have been walking in the desert for dozens of days. Except for staying for one night in Aru Village, they have not encountered any human settlements where they can rest.

So everyone had no choice but to camp in the open air in the desert at night, but fortunately there were so many people, so no wild beasts dared to attack them.

Apart from the necessary night watch force, the group still had a good sleep quality.

"Ms. Xingqiong, we are expected to arrive at the location you specified before tonight."

Early in the morning, Rahman came to Nashida's tent and chatted with Nashida, who had just woken up and was still a little confused.

"Well, if everything goes well, we will be able to enter the Red King Ruins tomorrow."

Patting her cheeks with her little hands, Nashida woke up from her dazed state.

Although the demon does not need rest, Nashida still retains some habits from her human past. Whether it is three meals a day or sleep at night, she does everything as usual every day.

"But the food in Xumi is too strong. Apart from masala, there are only grilled meats. I must find a way to get something else later."

"Miss Xingqiong, I wonder if we can have the honor of entering the Red King Ruins with you?"

Seeing that Nashida was awake, Rahman asked anxiously.
