Sage Kavaja and his group passed by Ying and his group, which made him frown. A blond traveler and a white floating pet? Did the legendary adventurer come to Xumi? Wait... the white-haired girl next to him? Where have I seen those special eyes?
Sage Kavaja, who had walked for some distance, stopped and turned to look at Ying and his group.
"Lord Khawaja, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, it must be my illusion, let's go." said the sage Kavaja.
Ying and his group also came to Tinari.
"Tinari, one of them plays the good cop and the other plays the bad cop. They are so shameless!" Paimon put his hands on his hips and became angry.
"Master, is it okay for you to reject the sage openly like this?" Cole also became worried.
"There may be some trouble, but I should be able to handle it. Are you ready to leave for Xumi City?"
"Ok!"
"Then be careful on the road. By the way, have you brought all the food, medicine, and tools? And..." Tinari began to show concern.
"Master, stop nagging. We are leaving first! See you later..."
Cole scratched his head, then pulled Ying and Nashida up and left quickly.
Tinari looked in the direction where the sage Khawaja left.
"It's getting really troublesome."
Chapter 335: Battle of Xumi
"Oh, huh, uh..." The little thing flying in the air began to sigh.
"Paimon, what's wrong?" Ying turned around and asked.
"I'm tired. Actually, I really want to ask, why do we have to walk 150 kilometers?"
"Uh... I don't know. Why don't you ask Cole?"
When Cole saw them looking at him, he scratched his head.
"Yaks are much slower than us walking, and the carriage is very expensive. I'm an apprentice forest ranger... I don't have much money in my pocket, so I can't afford it." Cole was a little embarrassed.
"So that's how it is! I thought there was some special reason." Paimon sighed.
"There are special reasons, too. Paimon fell asleep in class yesterday, right? The closer we get to Xumi City, the less likely we are to see Liyue items.
So after we left Huachengguo, we didn't see any bicycles or crystal cars from Liyue. These bicycles and crystal cars all went through the southern exit of Huachengguo and headed towards Vimo Manor." Nashida explained patiently.
"Ying...Why do I always have a sense of déjà vu? I seem to have seen this kind of operation somewhere?" Paimon thought with his chin in his hand.
"Inazuma...eternity..." Ying thought for a moment and blurted out.
"!!! Yes! That's it! Forbid the appearance of Liyue products, forbid the appearance of foreign things, and let Inazuma remain authentic for thousands of years! Is Xumi also going to pursue 'eternity'?" Paimon complained.
"That shouldn't be the case. Those sages and scholars are not that stupid." Nashida rarely stood up for the scholars.
"Not only can these practical things in Liyue not be used, but they cannot be brought into Xumi City. What's the purpose of doing this?" Ying was also confused.
“It’s a bit suspicious indeed. Mobile phones and computers from Liyue cannot be brought into Xumi City. It can also be considered that their functions overlap with those of the Void Terminal, so they are boycotted.
But other convenient products and transportation cannot be driven in, which is a bit strange." Nashida frowned, thinking that something was wrong.
"Is it that we can only walk to the next village? It would be great if there was a means of transportation outside the prohibited areas of the Court of Evangelicals." Paimon continued to complain.
"A vehicle that is not prohibited by the Order?" Nashida thought for a moment. "Ying seems to have one."
"What is it?"
"We sat here when we came here! Have you forgotten?"
"Eh? Is there?" Paimon thought about it and suddenly became surprised. "Could it be... the heavy-armored bunny?"
Ying released the heavily-equipped bunny motorcycle from the Chen Ge pot.
"This is the only means of transportation outside the prohibited areas of the Ordinance Court! It has the power of a crystal car and the convenience of a bicycle."
"Ah! So cool!" It was the first time that Cole saw such an item and his eyes were immediately filled with stars.
"The four of us should be able to fit in if we squeeze together, right? Let's go!"
It was Cole's first time riding this kind of transportation, and he was a little nervous, unconsciously hugging Nashida in front of him. The close contact with Nashida, her aura directly made the monster in Cole's body fall into a sluggish state.
【Girl, what are you holding? 】
[My new friend, please behave yourself! ]
[Girl, let's make a deal, shall we? Let the god you are holding unseal that person, and I am willing to provide you with power for free during your lifetime.]
[Don't dream of lifting the seal! Wait...what do you think I'm holding? ]
[The God of Xumi? Don’t you know? Damn the seal, I can’t even see outside, I can only feel her presence.]
【God...God!!!】
[Hey! Come back! Speak politely!] The monster inside the seal was furious when it saw Cole's consciousness leave in an instant.
When Cole regained consciousness, he felt his hands tightly holding Anahita. His hands began to tremble and sweat began to form on his back.
A thought kept circling in her head...'Is the god of Sumeru in my arms?'
Nashida noticed something was wrong with Kelai, and turned to ask, "Kelai, are you feeling uncomfortable? Ask Ying to drive slower? If you are scared, just hold me tight!"
“No, no, no…” Cole shook his head like a rattle. “It’s not because I’m scared, but because… it’s exciting…”
"Well, it does feel exciting when you ride it for the first time."
It’s just that the excitement in the two people’s hearts is slightly different.
Cole remembered the instructions of his master Tinari and silently swallowed the question.
Three hours later, Ying and his group arrived at a fork in the road, where there were several tea shops and inns. They decided to stop and rest for a while before setting off again.
The appearance of the heavily-equipped Rabbit also attracted people's attention. Many smart businessmen had a gleam in their eyes and rushed up to inquire about the new model to see if they could buy it.
After Ying politely rejected them, she found an open-air tea place and sat down.
"Alas, the road conditions in Xumi are much worse than those in Liyue. There are pits everywhere caused by the yaks. We only traveled less than 120 kilometers in three hours, while in Liyue, you can travel 240 kilometers in three hours." Paimeng started complaining after getting off the car.
"The road to Xumi needs to be rebuilt. It's full of potholes and mud. The heavily armored rabbits have turned into heavily armored mud rabbits." Nashida also experienced the same feeling as Captain Qin. There is no harm without comparison.
"Hahaha, building a road? Let the masters of the Ordinance House spend money to build a road? Don't make us laugh." Several members of the Gilded Brigade sitting at the table next to them started laughing when they heard Nashida's words.
"Hey! You're going too far!" Paimon said angrily.
"Do you know how much it costs to build a road? Do you know how many people and materials are needed to build a road? Those are astronomical figures. Just teach those parasites, sages and scholars in the Lingyuan, and ask them to pay for it? This is harder than climbing to the sky!"
"Liyue sent officials to the Liyue Order Institute last October to explain the exchange policy between Mingmora and Liyuan, and ended up driving them out of Xumi City. They came to warn us with good intentions, but not only did they not listen, they even went against us. Now, Xumi City has been in a great depression and has not recovered yet."
"Where are the sages and scholars? When they run out of money, they come to exploit us poor people. The business tax is increased by 20%, and we have to pay 30% 'bodyguard tax' for every escort mission, which makes it so that we can't even afford a drink."
"Building roads? I'm afraid I won't see it in my lifetime. The Silk Road project has also been forcibly banned by the Ministry of Education. They sent a group of 30 people to forcibly break into the construction team and arrest people. They also burned Liyue's construction materials.
The Order of the Lords is unwilling to do it, and forbids others to do it. What is it for? Isn't it Mora? No, it's Li Yuan now. Believe me, when the situation stabilizes, the cost of building one kilometer of cement road will definitely be more than 300 million Li Yuan. "
"Alas, Liyue said they would wait until the situation stabilizes before continuing the construction. With Xumi's current situation, I'm afraid it will take several years to resolve it."
The people in the tea shop began to discuss at once, and almost all of the content was negative information about the House of Lords, which made Nashida look very ugly.
"Anahita, are you okay? Have some tea to calm down first." Ying handed over the tea.
"Thank you, I'm fine. I just didn't expect the House of Lords to be so unpopular. What's their purpose in doing this? Or do they have some ulterior motives?" Nashida analyzed.
"What else can it be for? To establish the lofty status of scholars! If the Council of Ministers is poor, unable to pay salaries and conduct research, won't the scholars just run away? No one can be poorer than scholars, this is the status of scholars!" The Gilded Brigade next to them interrupted again.
"..."
“From your clothes, I know you are all girls from wealthy families. You naturally cannot understand the pain of not having a place to study, because you are born with the ability to acquire knowledge.
Knowledge is the threshold. If everyone is a scholar, how can the status of the Church be guaranteed? Slaves are necessary to highlight the nobility of scholars, and we, the people of Chishazi, are slaves in the eyes of the Church. "
"No...it's not like that! You are not slaves! Knowledge...can be shared by everyone!" Nashida retorted.
Just as the Gilded Brigade was about to refute.
At this time, a merchant rode a fast horse to the outside of the tea shop, formed a diffuser shape with his hands, and shouted loudly:
"The latest battle report! Weimo Village was lost and captured by the rebels!"
"!!!"
People from the tea shop and the inn all rushed out, asking whether the matter was true or not.
"It's true. If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself. The thirty-man group has retreated 20 kilometers outside of Weimo Village."
People began to talk about this matter.
"Wow, are the rebels so fierce?"
"What rebels? They are the Little Lucky Grass King's faction! Their mission is to rescue the Little Lucky Grass King."
"The Order is in big trouble. The eastern part of Vimo Manor has also been captured by the Little Auspicious Grass King faction. That means the entire river has been cut off. If the Order wants to support the eastern part of Omos Port, it will have to go around the Demon Subjugation Mountain."
"It's difficult to go around. The road over there is very steep and has hardly been developed. The waterway is completely blocked. The Ministry of Education will not give up!"
"The Church of the Holy Spirit is poor and unpopular now. How can it fight against those big merchants? Ask scholars for donations? I estimate that the battle line will move northward, take over the city of Hua, and cut off the land supply route of the Church of the Holy Spirit."
"Indeed, once this Liyue supply route is cut off, the Order Institute will be almost surrounded."
"I heard that there is a can of divine knowledge in Omos Harbor that will be auctioned off. I don't know who is rich enough to buy it."
"According to rumors, more than 20 people have used it, and they went crazy before they could fully absorb it. That's why the person behind it put it up for auction. This thing is too weird."
"How can ordinary people absorb the knowledge of God? With the Eye of God, there is still a chance."
Nashida listened to the news people around her were talking about, and her face darkened. Xumi was in too much chaos right now. Then she looked at Ying.
"Ying, let's go! I want to reach Xumi City as soon as possible."
"it is good!"
At night, inside the city.
Tinari put down the phone and thought about the current situation. The intuition of the Balogas clan, coupled with analysis and deliberation, and finally confirmation, was almost the same as his guess.
With the fall of Weimo Manor, the next target of the people sent by King Xiaojixiangcao must be the city walls and borders. Which side should I stand on to make the most correct choice?
Where on earth did this guy Senuo go? As a high-ranking disciplinary officer, he has great power. Without his help, many things cannot be done. It would be great if he could take his phone with him when he goes out.
three days later.
Ying and her group finally arrived at Xumi City. In a corner not far from the city gate, adhering to the principle of less trouble is worse than more, they put all the Liyue products into the Chen Ge pot.
At the city gate.
"Secretary Elhaisen, are you going to Port Omos?"
"Well, go and reclaim the canned knowledge of the gods. This is the approval note from the great sage."
The man in scholar's attire was operating on the void terminal.
"Confirmed! It is indeed the approval of the Great Sage. Let them pass!"
Ying and his group were waiting outside to enter the city.
"Wow! So strict! Those gilded... uh... thirty-man team will not only touch the whole body of people entering the city, but also scan them with some kind of instrument. Is it necessary to go to this extent?" Paimon looked at the busy girls in front of him in surprise.
"It wasn't like this before! What on earth is the House of the Lords doing?" Nashida was confused.
After Elhaisen had finished the formalities, he happened to walk past Ying and his group. Before he had walked a hundred meters, his mind was electrified and he turned back instantly. He found that Ying and his group had already taken the void terminal and entered the city.
Because of the implementation of certain government orders, they still had to pretend to be at the city gate, and no one was allowed to cut in line unless it was an emergency. Elhaisen had no choice but to line up behind the crowd.
"Eh? Lord Elhaisen, why are you back again?"
"I forgot to take something, I'll leave after I get it."
"Oh."
Elhaisen searched everywhere and found them nowhere to be found. He had no choice but to rush back to the Order House and came to the archives room.
The portrait of the Great Tree King was hanging on the wall of the archive room, and that pair of special green eyes was so dazzling.
"Young...Great Kind Tree King!"
