Genshin Impact: Another Traveler of Teyvat

"Wait a moment, I'll get it." Candice ran away. She couldn't help but feel scared. If what Ying and the others said was true, it was a scam that lasted for thousands of years.

Arrive at the temple where the 'guardians' of Aru Village worship the statue of the Red King.

"Traitor Candice, leave immediately, you are not welcome here." An old guardian said angrily.

"Traitor? When was this the crime you accused me of? I led the people of Aru Village to live a life that they could never have imagined before. Is this considered a betrayal?"

"Colluding with the Little Auspicious Grass King is considered betrayal of the Red King!" said another guardian.

"Whether they betrayed me or not is another matter. I need the addresses and opening information of all the temples of the desert priests. As the guardians of Aru Village, you should not have lost these information, right?"

"What do you want to do? The priest's temple is sacred and cannot be entered. Don't even think about it!"

As soon as Candice finished her words, nine out of the ten guardians directly refused.

"Oh? Such a big reaction? It makes me think more and more that there is a big secret buried in the priest's temple.

As a descendant of the Red King and the current leader of the desert people, it is reasonable for me to pay tribute to these hard-working and meritorious priests. It shouldn't be a big problem, right?

Is there a real secret of the Red King that the temple doesn't want me to know?" Candice's amber eyes glowed slightly.

"What did you hear from outside? You are not allowed to enter the priest's temple. You can't get the information! Someone, come here!"

Candice noticed that the clothes worn by the group of people surrounding her looked familiar.

"I've been exploring new paths outside, and have encountered a lot of obstacles from within. I think it's your people who are holding me back, right? It was you who sent the Falcon to kill me when I was exhausted.

You control everything in Aru Village, big and small. Now the young and strong people in Aru Village have moved to Kawanyi to work, and many of them have changed their minds and joined my banner. This is beyond your control. "

"You will only lead Aru Village to a point of no return!"

"No return? Staying in this small village with self-pity, never taking a step forward. Anyone who wants to take a step forward is at a point of no return? Have you ever been to Mondstadt, the land of freedom and poetry? Have you ever been to Liyue, the land of contracts? Have you ever been to Inazuma, the land of eternity?

You still cannot let go of that ridiculous power. Do you know what that transport plane outside is? It means 300 fully armed Qianyan soldiers will appear above your heads at any time.

Without this cooperative relationship, Liyue would have cleared out everyone in Aru Village like weeds! Your proud falcons are like eggs hitting stones in front of the Thousand Rocks Army."

"As long as we seal off the entire village, Liyue won't be able to do anything to us."

"Block the entire village? How ridiculous! It seems that you are determined not to hand over the addresses and opening information of all the temples?

There is no point in talking any more, let's fight!!!" Candice took out her weapon.

Chapter 393 The Real Reason for the Lie

BOOM!

The door of the temple collapsed, Candice was knocked out, and several poisonous arrows shot at Candice who had not yet stood firm.

"Desolate Star!"

Two rock creatures instantly appeared in front of Candice, blocking the poison arrows.

"Candice, are you okay?" Ying and his group hurried over.

"I'm fine! Be careful, these people are the 'falcons' trained by the village. In the words of the outside world, they are death squads." Candice saw the twenty-two people surrounding them and hurriedly reminded them.

Dixia cracked her finger bones and said, "So these people are the last resistance, right?"

"Hurry up, I'm afraid they will burn the information." Candice said hurriedly.

"Burning data? Not good!" Elhaisen took out his weapon instantly.

"Hey, it's time to show my strength." Paimon took out her new water gun.

Three minutes later, the twenty-two Falcons fell to the ground.

Everyone rushed into the temple and saw an old man stirring the inside of a burning pottery basin with a wooden stick.

The rest of the guardians gathered around and blocked their way.

"Paimon!" Ying grabbed Paimon and lifted her forward.

"Watch me! Spray with high-pressure water gun!" Paimeng immediately understood and adjusted the gear of the water gun to 4th gear.

The huge water flow pushed away the obstacles in front of them. Candice rushed forward and pushed the old man away, while others urgently put out the fire and suppressed it.

Soon, the suppression of the temple was complete, and Candice's men rushed over and tied up everyone in the temple.

"Is the information still there?" Candice asked hurriedly.

"It's all in pieces. It can't be repaired," Paimon said sadly.

"That's troublesome. I do know a few temples, but I have no idea how to open the doors and how to enter the deepest part." Candice said.

"The deepest part of the temple? What do you know?" The old man in the lead glared at Candice.

"It seems that this old man is the one who knows the truth?" said Elhaisen.

"Great Guardian... do you really know the truth? Then why..." Candice was interrupted halfway through her words.

“The truth must not be made public! We, the guardians, must protect the Red King’s inheritance and cannot let it be cut off like this.” The old man said angrily.

"The truth...the inheritance...puchi, hahaha...it was just to cover up the Red King's guilt, causing the entire desert people to suffer for thousands of years. They even treated the gods who really did us a favor as enemies." Candice's faith collapsed, and she was showing signs of madness.

"Candice! Calm down!" Ying reminded hurriedly.

"Sorry, I'm going to sit outside for a while. You guys can look for more information in the temple." Candice covered her forehead and walked out of the temple.

"Although the truth has been confirmed, we still need some evidence to confirm it. Let's look for other information together. Maybe there will be some fragmentary records." Elhaisen said.

"I now understand why I can't tell the truth." Dixia sighed.

"Do you know?" Paimon floated over and asked.

"Think about it. You were originally the legitimate successor of the Red King, but you found out that the Red King had created a plague that killed countless people. Then Xumi's friends came to help solve the plague, and the Red King was so ashamed that he committed suicide.

As a descendant of the Red King, do you record it truthfully or embellish it?

Especially in the environment at that time, countless people died, and it was a time when people needed to vent.

If recorded truthfully, it means that the descendants of the Red King will become a target of public condemnation, falling from the lineage of gods to become rats. You can refer to the Lawrence family of Mondstadt.

If the records were embellished, the descendants of the Red King would still have unshakable leadership over the desert and would still be able to enjoy resources that countless desert dwellers could not enjoy. By transferring the hatred to Xumi, they could control the desert forever.

Therefore, the descendants of the Red King, who were supposed to be the redeemed people, twisted the words of the priests so that they could still rely on the prestige of the Red King to maintain their status. "Dixie said.

"So that's how it is! No wonder we are forbidden to dig out the truth. It turns out that the conflict between the desert and Sumeru was created by you. Ying, why do I always feel a sense of déjà vu?" Paimon spread out his hands.

"Kaigi Island! It's also using dead gods to maintain its status." Ying rubbed Paimon's little head.

"That's right, the dead gods will not jump out to refute these descendants. Wait, could the big bad guy have resurrected the Red King?" Paimon said in surprise.

“!!!” Everyone around looked at Paimon, and Paimon was so scared that he shrank behind Ying.

"Why don't you just call and ask?" Ying also saw the fiery eyes around her and quickly tried to find a way out for Paimeng.

"Oh."

'Ding~~~' the call was connected.

"Little Paimeng, what do you want from me so late at night?" Lin Zixuan's annoying voice rang out.

"Uh...let me ask you, did you resurrect the Red King?" Paimeng asked hurriedly.

"Resurrecting the source of the Demon Scale Disease? Am I out of my mind? Or am I just looking for trouble for nothing?"

"That's okay. Bye." Paimeng hung up the phone immediately.

"The source of the Demonic Scale Disease? Our god is actually the source of the Demonic Scale Disease?" The people around were so surprised that they didn't know what to say.

“??? Haven’t we seen people with the demonic scale disease in this desert? It seems that it only exists in Xumi.” Paimon was a little surprised when he looked at the expressions of these people.

A burly old man came forward. It was Gabriel whom he had met before.

"Paimon, survival in the desert is difficult. It's not that no one has the magic scale disease, but that all those who have the disease have been killed. Killed by their own parents and relatives.

Because we... don't have the money to pay for the high cost of treatment, and it's better to suffer a short pain than a long one. Therefore, you won't see anyone with magic scale disease in the tribes in the desert."

"Kill...kill? This is too...woohoo." Paimon's mouth was covered by Ying.

"Paimon, this is the way to survive in the desert, don't talk nonsense." Ying said.

"It's okay. This is all in the past. Candice opened a new path and prevented this tragedy from continuing. The inhibitory drugs we got from Liyue can allow those with early and middle stage symptoms to move around like normal people, and the price is not expensive."

"So, the big bad guy is still somewhat useful."

"Okay, okay, let's talk about these things later. Let's search the interior of the temple first and find information related to the temple!" Elhaisen stepped forward and asked everyone to stop the discussion.

Two hours later.

When Candice came back from relaxing, she saw that the church had been turned upside down.

"How is it? Did you find any clues?"

"No, just some miscellaneous things. Things like the Golden Dreamland and the Eternal Oasis." Paimon said, holding a book.

"Golden Dreamland?" Gabriel hurried over.

"what happened?"

"I have spent the first half of my life searching for the Golden Dream, but I have yet to find its whereabouts. If it is the Red King Priest, he might have information about the Golden Dream."

"Let me see. Once upon a time, the Great Compassion Tree King presented the Red King with a reclining chair that could allow people to have sweet dreams and sleep peacefully. The Tree King jokingly called it: The Chair for Everything in Dreams.

Later, it was transformed by the Red King into a huge golden chair, and the priests gave it a nice name: Golden Dreamland. It is currently placed above the Epiphany Hall. "

"!!! What? Dream...there's a chair in the dream?" Gabriel couldn't accept that what he had been looking for for half his life was just a chair where he could have sweet dreams.

"What about the Eternal Oasis? I heard about it many times when I was a child." Dixia asked.

"Once, an immortal visited the Red King and presented him with a painting with the power of time. With the help of his high-level power, the Red King reshaped and repainted the painting and projected it onto Mount Dama.

All the birds, fish, insects and other things in the painting have stopped moving, all frozen in one moment, like a fairyland. Its name is: Eternal Oasis. "

"The language of desert civilization, just a chair that can dream sweet dreams and a painting, have deceived us for thousands of years?" A desert citizen was immediately angry.

"It's called hope, but is it actually despair? Divert the conflicts among the desert people and let them pursue such elusive things." Elhaisen thought, holding his chin.

“That is to say...the Red King’s legacy circulating in the desert area are all rumors spread by these people, making all the desert people go after the fake Red King’s legacy.” Dixia said.

"What do you know? If we don't do this, who will remember the Red King? Will he be despised like the King of the High Tower in Mond? What will we descendants do then? We have also preserved the Red King's heritage well!" said a tied guardian angrily.

"The Scarlet King had the courage to admit his mistakes and committed suicide. As his descendants, can't we shoulder this responsibility?

Because of your selfishness, you let the desert become poor, hungry, robbed, and cannibalized, and regarded your lifesaver as an enemy. Is this what you call the inheritance of the Red King?" Candice said angrily.

"What does that matter? As desert people, we must give everything to the Red King. We are the most orthodox descendants and should have the power to control the desert! Candice, turn back! Kill all these people. Once the news gets out, no one will be able to protect you!"

"From the moment I stepped into this temple, I was ready to be hated by the desert people. Come! Drag these people out and torture them until they reveal the location of the temple and how to open it!

No matter life or death!!!" Candice said with determination.

The next day.

Candice came to Ying and his group with a map stained with blood.

"The temples where the high priest and several famous priests are located have been marked. Which one should we go to first?"

"Of course we'll go to the nearest one first! Eh? Is Candice going too?" Paimon asked.

"Of course I have to see it with my own eyes," Candice replied.

Everyone came near the Seven Heavenly Gods Statue and saw three familiar figures from afar.

"Seno! And Falusan and Charlotte, why are you here?"

"How can we remain indifferent after uncovering such a big thing?" Said Seno.

"Awesome! I underestimated you. When we get to the temple, let me help you solve those annoying puzzles!" said Falushan with her hands on her hips.

"What you found out will definitely make the headlines." Charlotte also gave a thumbs up.

"But what about the little Auspicious Grass King? If you all run out, she must be very busy, right?" Paimeng scratched his head.

"With the sages here, we feel much more relaxed. The sages' disciples are eager to do all the work, so let them do their best! We are also happy to relax." Falushan replied.

"Oh yeah, those people missed the opportunity, they will definitely perform well."

"By the way, which temple do you plan to go to first?"

“This is the most recent one!”

Candice spread out the map for everyone to see.

"Is there a temple here?" Seno saw a place.
