The treasure thieves of Teyvat rob Shenhe

After the devotees in the hall finished reciting the prayer, they started to sing a song, not in the language of the desert, but in the language of the spirits.

This concerned Lin Ye, so he stepped forward, came in front of the believers and asked.

"Who taught you this song?"

The believer looked at the forest with a calm face and answered devoutly, "Lilupar, born from the water lily, Lilupal, that is her name."

"Her Highness Lilupal saved me and us. She brought us clean water and life-saving medicine when we couldn't survive. She also used songs to heal our fatigue and pain. She said that this song was to commemorate the goddess of flowers."

In the myth of the desert, the flower god wandered the earth, and clear springs flowed from his worn heels, turning into streams that irrigated the gardens.

With the spread of Lilupar and the symbol of mythology, the belief in the goddess of flowers has been revived in recent years.

Most of the followers of the Brass Mask believe in the flower god, because they come from dry deserts and exploitative factories, and dreams are the best painkillers.

"Lilupal, where is she?" Lin Ye asked.

"Her existence cannot be traced. Only on the night of loss and pain, she will come to the suffering people, sing for us, shed tears for us, listen to our complaints and accompany us." The believers said with heartfelt respect.

Nine years ago, Lin Ye’s death taught Lilupal to cry.

"Where was the last time you saw her?" Lin Ye asked again.

Chapter 625 Return

Gül is a city with a full sense of participation. The desert people have not forgotten its prosperity and glory, and the rainforest people are studying its history and excavating its ruins.

The believer of the brass mask told Lin Ye that the last time he saw Lilupal was in the royal capital. Because he was deeply moved by her teachings, he spontaneously traveled around to spread the belief in joy.

"Thanks."

"I wonder why you are looking for His Highness Lilupal. Are you also here to worship him and listen to his teachings like us?" asked the believer.

Worship and listen to teachings?

Lin Ye really wanted to hear how this crazy woman would explain herself. She actually used Xilin to extract the soul from her flesh and blood, giving birth to a deformed fetus and creating a golden age of bubbles.

Based on Lin Ye's understanding of Lilupal, he knew that the other party would not explain and might even give a mocking smile.

Lin Ye gave up on saving Lilupal. No, the destruction that Lilupal pursued, as she wished, was the way to salvation.

Perhaps Lilupal would have no complaints about dying at the hands of his lover.

After bidding farewell to the believers and before leaving, Lin Ye squatted down and used the power of his wishes to give the old man a beautiful dream, so that he could truly leave this world without pain.

"Brother Lin Ye, what did you talk about with that guy?" the female student asked curiously.

"Inquiring about someone..." Lin Ye said casually, frowning slightly. The next moment, there was the sound of horse hooves raising dust outside, and with a bang, the stone door of the hall was pushed open, and a group of robbers broke in along with the whistling sand.

At the end of a dynasty, every additional unresolved conflict is like burying some explosives under the ground. The more and more acute the conflicts are, the greater the equivalent of the explosives will be, and when they explode, they will blow the king up into the sky.

All it took was a fuse to set the whole thing off. The Brass Mask Uprising was that fire. It seemed like overnight, more than a dozen rebel groups emerged in the country.

Some people sought refuge, while others followed suit, occupying the mountains and becoming kings, and gathering refugees.

The group of bandits in front of us are the rebels from the Five Oases, and their doctrine is "rob, rob, rob!"

Seeing that the visitor had ill intentions, Meher and other students huddled in a corner, trying to reduce their presence.

The leader was a one-eyed wolf who yelled at everyone not to move. The robbers gathered everyone together and rushed forward, stabbing to death anyone who dared to resist.

"What should we do, Brother Linye?" Meher whispered.

“Just do it first.” Lin Ye whispered.

He roughly guessed what the robbers were going to do.

A group of defeated soldiers, many of them were covered in wounds. Judging from the dust on their clothes, they must have been chased by someone.

He wanted to see which force it was.

The one-eyed wolf looked at the number of prisoners he had and before he could feel at ease for long, he heard his brothers outside shouting, "The pursuers are coming!"

"Hurry! Get out!" The one-eyed wolf pushed the captives out of the hall.

Dust rose up, and another large group of horsemen surrounded the hall.

There was a burst of desert *slang* at first, and then the one-eyed wolf roared, "They have prisoners. Do you dare to kill civilians?"

It seems that the people chasing the robbers are the imperial army. Oh, and they are an acquaintance.

Hopiruz frowned upon seeing this, and hesitated to issue the order to wipe out this group of bandits.

"Let go of these civilians. I'll give you three days to escape." Hopiruz said in a deep voice.

"Damn Hopiruz! Why should I trust you!" the one-eyed wolf cursed, "You are a noble running dog. You are obviously a mountain dweller like us. We are your companions! But you are picking on us! Beep-beep-"

"You are a butcher who kills innocent people!" Hopiruz was still young and couldn't help but shouted angrily, "You should go to hell!"

"Okay! Okay! Then I'll be a devil!" The one-eyed wolf sneered. He picked up the scimitar and immediately looked for a lucky audience member. He took a liking to the elegantly dressed Lin Ye. Who made him stand in front of him and still laugh? Was he scared silly?

This should be a young man. Perhaps the servant Hopiruz knows him, so he doesn't dare to take any action.

"You! Come here!" The one-eyed wolf stared at Lin Ye with a cruel smile.

Lin Ye walked over obediently, but the one-eyed wolf took away his knife and threw it aside, and then held the knife to his neck.

Hopiruz had a gloomy look on his face and he shouted angrily.

"you dare!"

"What is there for me to be afraid of? Even if I get beheaded, there will only be a scar the size of a bowl. Eighteen years later, I can be a brave man again!"

"Hopiruz, have your men kill all the horses, otherwise I won't let anyone go! I'll give you thirty seconds to think about it. Every thirty seconds, I'll kill one!" The one-eyed wolf said viciously with bloodshot eyes.

Hopiruz clenched his sword tightly, veins throbbing on his forehead. He glanced at the shivering refugees, thinking that these were poor people who had left their homes because they could not survive. Thinking of the teachings of the previous king, he was unable to harden his heart.

My King Parvizlawan, the country is now plagued by bandits, sand is eroding the oasis, and the building is in danger. Why don't you take it seriously?

Hopiruz felt as if a huge stone was pressing on his heart. He was like a stubborn rock in the midst of a flood. If he was not washed away, he would feel anxious, exhausted and powerless.

"…You'd better do as I say. If you break your promise, I, Hopiruz, will kill you at any cost!"

Hopiruz stared at the one-eyed wolf with hatred, raised his hand and was about to give an order, but suddenly, his vision blurred and the one-eyed wolf's head rolled to the ground.

The young man being pointed at by the one-eyed wolf had a knife in his hand, with blood dripping from the blade.

This scene stunned everyone.

"Big brother!"

One of the robbers shouted heart-wrenchingly.

The next second, his head was gone.

Lin Ye sighed.

MD, after being with Lilupal for a long time, I learned bad habits.

Dying without an intact body is the greatest deterrent to the enemy. Lin Ye is used to being a cold-blooded political creature and a decisive general. He takes people's lives with one move. He is about to forget his relaxed daily self.

Ah He, Guru, Walnut...

End it soon.

Lin Ye faced a group of bandits and spoke word by word.

"Kneel down."

At this moment, Lin Ye once again became the king above everyone else, with the law in his mouth and his words as the law. No one dared to go against his will.

Then, a huge crowd of people knelt down together. This was not due to any tricks, but simply due to their intimidating aura.

Hopiruz looked at the young man's back, and in a trance he seemed to see King Ormaz, who was paying his last visit to the late king. He was still a small cavalry captain, and was specially allowed to meet the king because of his great contributions in killing the enemy.

Wait, this dress looks familiar?

This is clothing that only royal families are qualified to wear. Originally, Lin Ye had a symbol on his body that indicated his status as a king, but it was worn off because Lin Ye found it too troublesome.

Could he be one of Parvizlawan's descendants? Hopiruz thought.

"Hopiruz, what are you standing there for?" Lin Ye turned his head and frowned.

"Ooh!"

Afterwards, after tying up the surrendered bandits, Hopiruz expressed his gratitude to Lin Ye and asked him some questions.

"How do you know my name?"

"Didn't that one-eyed wolf just call your name?"

"I see. May I ask your name, sir?"

"Linye."

Hopiruz was a little confused when he heard this. He looked at Lin Ye's clothes and whispered.

“This dress…”

"Pick it up."

"..."

Lin Ye turned around and asked Hopiruz about some things. He learned that he had just returned to Gul City after suppressing the rebels and evildoers in the Iron Dunes area. So Lin Ye asked Hopiruz to take the students of the Teaching Academy with him.

Hopiruz learned about the relationship between Meher and Mehrak. He had recently submitted a memorial to Parvezlawan, requesting the restoration of the Five Oasis Water Conservancy Project, but was rejected by the Council of Nobles. Hopiruz wondered if he could let Mehrak play a role in protecting Meher's safety.

At the same time, Hopiruz asked Lin Ye to go with him.

Lin Ye thought about it and decided that from his performance just now, Hopiruz was a conscientious general. Lin Ye wanted to hear his opinion on the situation, so he agreed.

They hurried on their journey again, and now they had horses. After ten days they left the Five Oases and arrived at the Three Canals.

Lin Ye stood on the sand peak on horseback, looking at the Three Canals. In his memory, this was a river formed by the irrigation of water transported from the Eternal Oasis. It was the river of life in the city of Gur, sparkling and clear in the sun.

Today the canal is as dark as the Ganges and smells foul.

The eternal oasis where the three canals meet is a cemetery. Its broad and magnificent walls block out the eyes of the world and no mortal can enter without permission. Lin Ye has only been there three times in his life.

Ever since the Scarlet King built the labyrinth to study forbidden knowledge, most of the town spirits of the Eternal Oasis followed him. The operation of the Flower Goddess's Tomb was entirely maintained by Feligis alone. Her weakness was the direct cause of the problems in the irrigation network.

Lin Ye planned to go to the Eternal Oasis to help Feligis, but the gates of the Eternal Oasis had been closed, and Feligis gave up meeting anyone.

That's it.

Let's deal with the affairs of the Mortal Kingdom first. There won't be any problems with Feligis in the short term.

Hopiruz looked at the area covered by the desert with grief and indignation. There used to be fertile fields there. Even though desertification was so serious, the nobles of the Council of Nobles believed that it would not affect agricultural production and asked him to suppress the Brass Mask Uprising as soon as possible.

Lin Ye turned his head and looked at the general. He was thirty-one years old, and as a general, he had not yet reached the peak in terms of experience or reputation.

During the conversation along the way, Lin Ye got a general understanding of Hopiruz's situation. During his reign, education was popularized and Hopiruz was able to enter the royal capital to study as a mountain dweller. Later, he gave up literature and took up martial arts, becoming a cavalryman. He made great contributions in a tide of monsters and beasts, and was qualified to meet Lin Ye.

Lin Ye was deeply impressed by the young Hopiruz and intended to promote him and then send him to a more dangerous border for training. In his later years, he mentioned this young man to Kisla.

Kisla did remember Hopiruz and appointed him as the general, in charge of suppressing rebellions in various places, and used him as a firefighter.

Hopiruz took the opportunity to tactfully inquire about Lin Ye's relationship with the royal family.

Once, Hopiruz said something inadvertently and said to Lin Ye, "You are very similar to him."

Lin Ye asked, who is it?

Hopiruz was silent for a long time, and said with emotion, "When he was in power, you were probably a little kid."

"At least you have experienced good times," Hopiruz said disrespectfully, "if only King Olmaz were still alive."

"Olmaz is dead." Lin Ye said.

"Isn't it said that he is the Red King? Seeing all the people suffering, why doesn't the Red King send out spirit-suppressing messengers to manage the desert again?" Hopiruz asked desperately. He didn't think Lin Ye was a person who liked to tell tales. He could recognize him at a glance when they were in school.

"Mortals governing mortals, the next Ormaz will die of old age, and another Kisra will destroy everything."

"At least, there is hope."

Lin Ye left without saying anything.

After crossing mountains and rivers and passing through sandstorms, Lin Ye and others finally arrived at the city of Gul.

After a long absence, the former king returns.

Lin Ye and Hopiruz parted outside the city, and Meher and the others went to the palace with Hopiruz.

Lin Ye himself was not in such a hurry. He wanted to see with his own eyes the lives of the people in the royal capital.

With the token given by Hopiruz, Lin Ye successfully passed the guards' interrogation and entered the city of Gul.
