Everyone entered the temple ruins.
A scene of lush greenery.
Although it had been buried underground for who knows how long, the interior of the temple was surprisingly full of life, with winding vines and wildly growing flowers and plants everywhere.
"The grass elemental power in here is very strong." Elhaisen judged. He recalled the truth that Lin Ye said and guessed that the construction of the temple could not be separated from the help of the Great Compassion Tree King.
Rahman and others believed that this was a blessing from His Majesty the Red King.
Lin Ye followed the map provided by the Red Sand Staff and moved forward smoothly, and Rahman followed.
It's not that he wants to make peace. Lin Ye is too lazy to punish these stubborn people of the sand. It won't be too late to deal with them later if they still choose to be enemies of the rain forest after seeing the truth.
Deep inside the temple ruins.
Lin Ye and others arrived at a tomb, where a jackal was lying on a sarcophagus. This was the symbol of the Red King civilization, including the Eagle Eye of Horus and the Scorpion-tailed Lion.
In the game's mission [The King of Red Earth and the Three Pilgrims], it is obvious who the King of Red Earth refers to, and the Three Pilgrims are the mythical creatures represented by Senor, Elhaisen and Dishia.
Lin Ye walked forward, took a look at the eulogy on the sarcophagus, and translated it.
"Here lies our loyal sacrifice, Kasar."
"His wisdom is a wonder among men, and is worthy of praise and praise."
Rahman stared in amazement.
"You can actually read the ancient Red King's writing!"
"It's nothing. El Haisen can understand it too."
Vigorously promote education, but the king ends up being the husband's father?
Friends, this is not funny.
"Yes, it's normal for every young person to be proficient in 20 languages before graduation." Elhaisen said as if it was a matter of course.
So Paimon showed the same expression as Rahman, and she would rather die than go to the Ordination Academy to study.
"Kasar, one of the priests guarding the Red King's Palace," Lin Ye whispered to himself, "is different from the high priest of Gul City."
"There is not only a eulogy on the sarcophagus, but also a video recording. Rahman, do you dare to look at it?" Lin Ye turned around and asked on the steps.
"Why don't you dare?"
Then, Lin Ye used the power of the Red Sand Staff to uncover a truth that had been hidden for thousands of years.
"Detect... detect the latest data... copy..."
When Lin Ye heard this, he had a bad feeling.
The eyes of the jackal statue are very intimidating, projecting images like a projector.
What comes into view are majestic palaces rising from the ground, scattered all over the place and magnificent and golden.
When tens of thousands of people from the Sands gather together, they form a city-state; when a hundred thousand people from the Sands gather around an oasis, they form a kingdom.
Rahman stared at the projection of history infatuatedly, which is the past that the desert people are fascinated and proud of today.
Suddenly, a deep voice acted as narration.
"From knowledge comes civilization,"
"Likewise, knowledge can destroy civilization."
The scene suddenly changes and it’s the end of the world.
The light that symbolizes the scorching sun above the Red King's Mausoleum was polluted by the abyss and flowed downward like liquid, invading the earth and withering life.
"Ever since the Scarlet King brought knowledge that was not from this world, it has spread like a plague."
"My mind was filled with crazy whispers, and my back was covered with black scales."
Everyone saw that the Red King's Palace was devastated by a sandstorm that covered the sky and the sun. The seven giant gem walls collapsed one after another. One thousand and one columns trembled in the strong wind. The magnificent building seemed as fragile as a sand sculpture at this moment.
At this time, the sharp-eyed Paimon discovered three figures standing on the palace from the chaotic world, and one of them looked more and more familiar.
"Lin Ye! Why are you in there!?" Paimon exclaimed.
"He was hugging a woman." Paimon said again.
Lin Ye: You won’t die if you don’t speak.
Director! Director! Switch the channel!
Paimon's noisy voice attracted everyone's attention. The Staff of Red Sand had a hidden function that could record anything at any time and anywhere, and would record the scene before the end of the forest trial into data, which would be read by the machinery in the temple ruins here.
Lin Ye glanced at Shen He.
Shen He didn't say anything. She looked thoughtful, which made Lin Ye feel even more uneasy.
Speaking of which, he has never kneeled on a durian. It is said that there is gold under a man's knees. As we all know, gold is a relatively soft metal. Lin Ye wants to try it out in practice to see if it is hard.
The Red Ace Projector seemed to have heard Lin Ye's thoughts, and the screen changed to show the Sand People suffering from the Demon Scale Disease struggling and wailing. Their miserable screams were horrifying to hear.
Soon, the land was in a dead silence, and the desert people begged King Olmaz and prayed to His Majesty the Red King.
Both of them are gone.
At the critical moment, a benevolent goddess arrived from the distant rain forest.
The scene where the Red King was eaten by Apep was hidden, and everyone got a glimpse of the Great Mercy Tree King for the first time through the projector.
With her graceful posture and beautiful face, worldly praise has lost its meaning to the Great Compassionate Tree King.
The holiness that cannot be desecrated is the conclusion that every mortal reaches when they look up at her.
Know the universe, still pity the green grass.
This is the best portrayal of the character of the Great Compassionate Tree King.
He is a noble and extraordinary demon god, a wise princess, and the god of life of plants and trees. When forbidden knowledge polluted the desert, he could have stayed out of it and set up barriers on the four edges of the earth to stop the disaster at the lowest cost.
For the sake of his friend's entrustment, for the sake of a thousand-year friendship, and for the suffering mortals in the desert, the Great Kind Tree King knew the dangers...
She still arrived as scheduled.
The Great Compassionate Tree King dedicated her divine power, and vast grass elements fell on the dry sand like rain. Green buds grew and blossomed, injecting new vitality into the withered desert.
The price was that the Great Compassion Tree King's body shrank to that of a young girl.
"People of the desert, there is no need to bear grudges."
"But this kindness alone should never be forgotten."
The video ends as the narration, which is the voice of Kasar, disappears. Kasar finally sighs that the people of the desert owe the Great Kind Tree King a great favor.
However, as fate would have it, the people of the desert now hate the Great Compassionate Tree King.
Rahman broke his defense and shouted.
"no no!!"
The ideological imprint that had been rooted for a long time suffered a severe blow. Rahman began to suspect that all this was fake. Otherwise, what was the meaning of his struggle until now?
Like a joke.
His Majesty the Red King does not need them to take revenge, but instead should express gratitude.
But how have I "repaid" the Great Compassionate Tree King over the years?
Rahman was a man with strong self-esteem and deep beliefs. His thoughts were confused, but he was just glad that his brothers were left outside. He had initially doubted why Lin Ye made such a request, but now it seemed that it was for their own good.
Rahman needed some time to calm down and be alone.
El Haisen and Senor study the temple.
Ying, Paimon and Dishia walked around.
Lin Ye came to Shen He and wanted to explain, but heard Shen He ask a question.
"She's Lilupal, isn't she?"
"Ah."
"Where's the girl next to you?"
"Shilin, Lilupal's daughter... is also my daughter." Lin Ye was reluctant to deny that Shilin was his child, but added, "We are not related by blood! I swear!"
Shen He was amused by Lin Ye's nervous look. She took Lin Ye's hand and asked softly.
"Aye, don't you believe me? Do you think I suspect you of betrayal?"
"of course not."
"That's all right." Shen He said, "After you leave, talk to me about Xilin."
"…Um."
By the time Rahman had recovered a little, the information that the others had collected here was almost the same, so it was time to leave.
"Let's go, Aye."
"Sorry, I have to stay and complete the trial of the Flower God. Before this, I went through the trials of the Tree King and the Red King." Lin Ye explained, "I have come this far, and I don't want to give up all my efforts."
"So you will stay here for decades like you did in the Red King Trial?" Shen He asked expressionlessly.
"Don't worry, the real world should only take a few minutes, I'll be there soon..."
Shen He looked at the young man's nonchalant cover-up. Along the way from Aru Village to the Mausoleum of King Chi, Shen He noticed Lin Ye's loneliness. After all, he was the person he loved the most, and he saw his every move.
Do we have to be separated from Lin Ye for a long time again?
Although Shen He only sensed it for a short time, it was too cruel for Lin Ye.
So Shen He blurted out.
"I'll accompany you."
Lin Ye was stunned, as if he didn't hear clearly.
"What I mean is," Shen He walked up to Lin Ye and said seriously, "Aye, can I accompany you in this trial?"
"If it causes you trouble, don't force it, just tell me directly. I just think... well, we should be together."
Unlike the unrestrained people of Mondstadt, the people of Liyue are always implicit in expressing their love. Shen He wanted to tell Lin Ye that he felt sorry for him, but he was hesitant to speak, so he had to use "I'll be with you" and "we'll be together" to replace these words of love.
"To be honest, I'm not sure you can take the Flower Goddess' Trial with me."
"The mission of the Flower God Trial requires that you be an observer, observing the desert after the godlessness and people's choices, and give her the answer in the end."
"I don't want to lie to you. This process will take decades, hundreds of years, or even longer."
"I should be able to live until then." Shen He felt unsure about this.
"Why do you doubt yourself? Ah He, you are a disciple of the immortal family. You can still be a young and beautiful sister even if you are a thousand years old."
“…Then there’s nothing to worry about.”
"Hey, what are you talking about?" Paimon flew over and asked puzzledly.
"Let's plan a honeymoon without any preparation." Lin Ye said with a smile.
Paimon tilted his head.
Ying came over and asked for details.
Lin Ye told Ying about the trial.
After listening to this, Ying didn't say much, but patted Lin Ye on the shoulder to show encouragement.
Fortunately, she doesn't need to have a good relationship with the Red King or the Flower God, she only needs to be friends with the little auspicious Grass King.
Lin Ye activated the energy contained in the temple ruins, and an illusory door appeared in front of him and Shen He.
"Are you ready?"
Shen He held Lin Ye's hand.
……
After the Bloody Night, the queen became estranged from Hirui because of his parricide, and there was a misunderstanding between them under the moonlight that was ultimately never resolved.
However, due to the regret of the fait accompli and the shame of forbidden love deep in his heart, Hirui was too ashamed to mention to the queen the erotic night of many years ago. The negative pain troubled the young king for a long time, and he often had nightmares, in which he dreamed of his father's corpse degenerating into a black monster that chased him and bit him.
Eleven years later, Xirui was tortured by nightmares and became a little neurotic. He also fell into the curse of premature aging, with gray hair and sunken eye sockets.
Eventually, Hirui dreamed of the scene he was now witnessing.
