The treasure thieves of Teyvat rob Shenhe

The size of the royal city has doubled compared to when Lin Ye was in power, and the architectural style has also changed from simple and majestic to gorgeous and tall. In nine years, the changes are huge. Lin Ye strolled in the streets and saw many beggars who were starving to death on the roadside. He could hear quarrels and curses, as well as the operation of Zhenling technology.

Not only were Shilin's soul fragments stuffed into the machine, but also into weapons. Hopiruz had hundreds of soul-suppressing weapons, which were secretly taken away by Lin Ye to suppress the souls inside.

After careful counting, Lin Ye has collected 108 spirit-suppressing fragments. What kind of Water Margin is this?

Looking up, Lin Ye saw the Zhenling Technology flying in the sky. Lin Ye showed a look of disgust. He took out a bottle, uncorked it, as if to let air in, and pressed the cork.

The spiritual technology in the sky suddenly hit the spectacular building and was about to hit the ground, but was stopped by some force. After the passers-by ran far away, it fell with a bang.

This caused an uproar.

Lin Ye had left long ago. He remembered that the followers of the Brass Mask said that Lilupal would only appear on moonlit nights.

He's not in a hurry.

Lin Ye visited various factories, but he did not take away the Zhenling fragments.

A town spirit construct is more expensive than a worker, and if it is damaged, the worker will be punished most severely.

hold on.

After a few days, Lin Ye did not find Lilupal, but he became familiar with how the nobles exploited the people.

The tax reduction seemed merciful, but in fact there were too many harsh levies and levies. For example, the people could not afford to eat, so how could they have the grain to make wine? Yet they still had to pay wine tax.

Workers were injured and disabled by the Zhenling constructs, but they were unable to report it. The factory gave them very little compensation and kicked them out to fend for themselves.

You can't say that Gur is not civilized.

Lin Ye had experienced the barbarity of desert civilization and had to feed on humans, but the capital forcibly promoted by Zhenling Technology might not be stronger than the former.

When the conflict escalates to an irreconcilable point, even rabbits will bite when they are cornered. Lin Ye noticed that the believers of the brass mask were widely walking among the people.

Lin Ye looked up at the tall palace and Kisra on the throne. Haven't you noticed it?

No, Kisra has been preparing. He expanded the military service, conscripted soldiers, and deployed military constructs in key areas such as the palace and temple to prevent riots.

But this is far from enough. Kisla, who has not been on the battlefield for many years, is about to forget the horror of a trapped beast's fight.

Lilupal couldn't find Shilin for a long time. Just when Lin Ye gave up and went to the palace to look for Shilin, he learned Shilin's whereabouts.

Chapter 626 What is love in your eyes?

Due to Lin Ye's interference, Shirin and Kisra, the brother and sister, did not get married. Kisra married the daughter of a minister instead. Later, he became king, and Shirin became the eldest princess of Gur City.

On the way from the Five Oases to Gul City, Lin Ye learned from Hopiruz that Shilin had been missing and had not appeared in the public eye for many years. His Majesty Parvizlawan had never mentioned her whereabouts, so naturally no one investigated.

There are even rumors that Shilin is behind the belief in the "Brass Mask" of the Flower Goddess. Some people are certain that they saw Her Highness Shilin communicating with a group of accomplices of the Brass Mask on a certain moonlit night.

Due to Parvezrawan's inaction, public opinion gradually portrayed Shireen as a town spirit who betrayed the goddess of flowers, in order to deny Shireen's orthodoxy and suppress the spread of the Brass Mask's teachings.

The orthodox court officials who believe in the flower goddess do not approve of the belief in the brass mask and define it as a cult.

Lin Ye suspected that Lilupal had kidnapped Shilin, so he went looking for Lilupal, one to put an end to the relationship, and the other to save Shilin.

In the 42nd year of the Gur calendar, the 9th year of Parvezlawan's accession to the throne, it was the birthday of the flower god in the fiery midsummer.

The birthday of the flower god is the birthday of the Great Compassionate Tree King. It originated from the flower god's original dance to his allies. It has been passed down since then. Not only rainforest people celebrate this festival, but desert people also do so.

At this time, the relationship between the desert people and the rainforest people was far from the mutual hostility of later generations, and the people of the Gilded Brigade would not think that it was the Great Mercy Tree King who killed their gods. After all, the Red King was alive and well.

During Lin Ye's rule, Gur City and Xumi City even had a honeymoon period, but unfortunately, during the Parvizrawan period, the exchanges between the two sides became a formality.

The masters of the two kingdoms have changed. Needless to say, the masters of Gul City have changed. As for Xumi City, it is said that King Mahasishu has gone into seclusion to practice, and the affairs of the court have been handed over to the Ministry of Education.

The evening in the desert is much colder than other areas. Apart from the roaring machinery, there is an eerie silence in the downtown area.

The birthday of the flower god is different. Even the poorest people will take out their savings and prepare some delicious food to make it more lively.

But this was just a happy ending. The people in the lower town were increasingly dissatisfied with Parvizlawan and the nobles, and all that was left was a fuse to cause it to explode.

Lin Ye slept for the whole morning and left the hostel in the afternoon.

He had a dream in which he was in a black sea of sand. In the distant sky, there was a sun that was gradually distorting and dissolving.

Unspeakable loneliness filled his heart. Lin Ye kept running as if chasing something. He seemed to know that he could not look back. There was no way back.

…Lin Ye was awakened by the noise outside and went out to check the situation.

He was still dressed the same as before, wearing a noble and gorgeous robe, with a handsome face and black hair that was somewhat conspicuous in Gur City. Passersby would think he was a foreign prince visiting His Majesty Parvezlawan.

But how could a prince stay in an ordinary hotel?

Now no one paid attention to Lin Ye's dress. All the civilians and beggars in the lower city flocked to one place, which was the direction of the upper city.

Lin Ye stopped someone and asked the reason.

Her Royal Highness the Princess was in the central tower, distributing wealth like rain.

then,

The streets were empty and the world was boiling.

……

The desert sky at dusk is blood-red, and the afterglow of the setting sun makes the city of Gur red, as if it is peeking through red wine at this new but no longer immature royal city.

The long wind from the wilderness is blocked by the tall walls of the city of Gur, but it cannot prevent the dirty and messy environment inside the city. The money used to build roads is used to build spectacular palaces. The huge royal city is divided into the upper city and the lower city. The area with high terrain and magnificent buildings is the aristocratic area, while the narrow, dark and dusty area is the slum.

There is a tall tower at the dividing line between the upper and lower cities, in the center of Gul, where the coronation ceremony of Parvezlawan was held.

Two guards and four military constructs defend the area, forbidding anyone to pass.

A pale woman with braided hair walked slowly towards them. She was wearing a moon-white silk dress. She had a graceful posture and a holy temperament. Her face was covered with a silver veil as thin as a cicada's wing, and her pair of serene purple eyes were peaceful.

Her appearance is like an elf in the legend, appearing in the world only when you look back inadvertently, bringing joy and sweet dreams, and bestowing unspeakable blessings.

"Who are you!" the guard shouted.

The woman did not answer, nor did she stop.

The military spirit-suppressing constructs rioted and pounced on the guards, followed by screams.

A pair of golden high-heeled shoes wrapped around her white and tender feet stepped on the flowing red blood, the woman opened the door of the tower, and her figure disappeared into the shadows.

…The woman climbed up the tower, which is the highest point, overlooking the entire city of Gur. Will she feel a sense of pride when she steps on the city that symbolizes the pinnacle of desert civilization of this era?

In front of her was the upper town that never sleeps, with flowers and brocade, and fires boiling. The nobles and wealthy businessmen there reveled every night and sang praises to the peace of the Parvizlawan dynasty. Turning around, what appeared before the woman was the chaotic lower town, the true appearance of Gul.

The former city of Gul was a beautiful city that even Zhen Ling would marvel at. Although Zhen Ling had emotional defects, he had a deep understanding of the feelings of others. His doubled feelings led to his love at all costs and his hatred at all costs.

In the past, people who lived in Gul City exuded an energy that only the town spirit could sense. They were high-spirited, confident, and full of beauty, which made the town spirit's temper become gentle.

But the city of Gul today is like a failed plastic surgery, half of it is too delicate and disgusting, and the other half is extremely ugly. The emotions that Zhenling felt were mixed with too many worldly desires, which made her deeply disgusted and she wanted to spit.

I closed my eyes, my torn soul ached, and the vicious curses of deformed and dead fetuses from all over the desert reached my ears.

"Mother who never gave birth to us, may the seven major diseases befall you..."

"May the sand fill your shrunken lungs, and all the greenery turn to ashes..."

The woman laughed, feeling a morbid joy at the excruciating pain.

This is the torture that her daughter, who has never known a single day of happiness, has endured for so long.

Opening her eyes, the afterglow of the setting sun illuminated the woman's purple, making her skin look seductively scarlet.

After a long silence, the woman said softly.

"We just need one more fire to set Gul City on fire."

The woman waved her hand toward the sky, and the power to calm the spirits transformed into thousands of silver and gold coins that scattered and fell to the ground below. People looked up at this sudden rain of blessing.

then,

The streets are empty and the world is boiling!

When the forest and the wild people crowded to the edge of the tower, the imperial court sent out sheriffs to drive out the people from the lower city. The actions were violent, and the gold and silver were accompanied by blood.

"Beep - *civilized Gulcheng dialect* -"

"***beep-*beautiful desert slang*--"

Almost all the people in the lower city gathered under the high tower. Once the number of people increased, frictions continued, especially under the instigation of someone with ulterior motives, namely the Brass Mask. The civilians who could no longer bear it finally attacked the sheriffs. In a short period of time, several sheriffs died tragically on the spot.

Contradictions widen and conflicts escalate.

The nobles in the upper city are celebrating the birthday of the goddess of flowers with singing and dancing, and watching the lovely dancers perform voluptuous dances. The untouchables in the lower city are spoiling their fun, so they order the sheriff to use the spiritual technology to quickly suppress the situation.

The flames continued and the blood flowed like a river.

In a moment, countless people fell to the ground and corpses piled up.

Arguing, swearing, wailing, and roaring.

Crowding, trampling, revenge, and looting.

Lin Ye had seen this kind of scene more than once, but he had never thought it would happen in the country he founded.

defeat?

Disappointed?

Complex emotions filled his heart, and with the influence of the dream of loneliness, Lin Ye rarely took action immediately, but stood there in silence.

Reason told Lin Ye that he must find a way to stop the riot and find the mastermind behind it.

But this time, emotion prevailed.

He knew that this place was like a cinema showing a VR movie, and the people who passed by him one after another were data that had been recorded long ago, and they were fake.

Lin Ye has been holding on alone for such a long time, he is actually very lonely and misses the outside world very much.

The Red King Trial not only tests the ability of the trial-taker, but is also an extremely rigorous test of his spirit.

However, the Red King Trial did not require Lin Ye to fight enemies in blood or face the disaster of the abyss, but rather the inevitable [problems] that would arise in the process of advancing with a civilization that he had never encountered before. Otherwise, the three lit life stars would make him fearless of any monsters and ghosts and never confused.

Just when Lin Ye was emo, a veil floated down from the sky. Lin Ye raised his hand to catch it and looked at Xilin on the high tower.

Lin Ye had very good eyesight and he could see that breathtakingly beautiful face.

When Lin Ye saw Xilin, the corners of his mouth subconsciously rose.

Shireen smiled a smile as beautiful as a flower, a smile that was morbid.

At this moment, Lin Ye realized that the woman he saw was not Xilin, but——

Lilupal.

Lilupal gazed at his lover affectionately. For Linye, the time they had not seen each other was measured in days and months, but for Lilupal, it was measured in years.

Lilupal was very happy. She didn't know why Lin Ye, who was supposed to be dead, came back to life, but this did not prevent her heart from being filled with joy, and the emptiness of nine years was filled.

Only when you lose something do you know how to cherish it.

On the honeymoon night, Lilupal cried because of Lin Ye's departure. She found that she did not feel the pleasure of revenge, but felt more empty.

So lonely.

Every sleepless night, Lilupal always spent the long night recalling the memories of Lin Ye.

When Lilupal saw Lin Ye climbing up the tower, his first thought was to give him a big hug.

Lin Ye put the knife to her neck.

"Where's Shireen?"

"Don't worry, I didn't hurt her."

"Then what about these soul-suppressing fragments?" Lin Ye questioned, staring at Lilupal coldly.

"You really didn't notice?" Lilupal said sadly instead of being afraid.

Lin Ye was stunned, frowned and observed Lilupal, and felt her unstable breath at close range, and her soul was empty and incomplete.

“…So it’s you…”

Lin Ye put down the knife.

"Why are you disguising yourself as Shireen?"

"Because I did bewitched Kisla and used his sister to give birth to a deformed stillborn baby and create the spirit-suppressing construct." Lilupal said softly.

Lin Ye knew that Lilupal was talking about the last time, which was the real history.

"Since you don't want to hurt Xilin, why do you allow the cruel Zhenling technology to appear again?"
