Original God, I am the only designated Red King God Envoy of Xumi

"But is this really the case? It's true that the oases in the desert have been shrinking year after year, and it's also true that there's been endless fighting. As resources become increasingly scarce, the fighting will only get more intense."

Amber tapped her fingers on the table as she spoke slowly and leisurely.

"It would be a disaster, a true disaster—a disaster that cannot be stopped unless sufficient new resources are found from the 'outside world' or unless 'help' is received."

"Many clans will disappear and fall apart, and it will become a true 'survival of the fittest' world, with no bottom line and no future. The desert is already far behind other places, and if something like this happens, the gap will only widen. The desert will then have no chance of recovery."

"..." Kusela's expression became more and more serious as Amber spoke. He had never thought about these things before, nor had he seen these things. The current situation had already made them fight with all their strength. They had no lingering mood to imagine the future, nor were they qualified to imagine the future.

However, this situation is very likely, Kusela agrees with this from the bottom of his heart. It can be seen from the upper wind erosion area that it is probably the place where the fighting for the increasingly smaller oases is the most intense. But has the fighting between these clans changed anything?

——Nothing changed, only the people of the sand died in vain, and most of the clans became weaker and weaker.

"The fundamental problem of the desert is a lack of resources. The existing resources are not enough to provide a better life for the people of the desert. They often have to work very hard just to fill their stomachs."

"Thus, a spiral of suffering emerged. Without sufficient knowledge and talent, the desert could not be transformed. And as long as the desert remains unchanged, the struggle will not end. And as long as the struggle does not end, there will be no environment or soil for pursuing wisdom and cultivating talent."

"Coupled with the shrinking of many oases, it's a vicious cycle."

"...In that situation, the so-called people of the desert will no longer exist. They will either fall in the yellow sand or flee to other countries and seek another way to survive." Kusela continued Amber's words. At this point, he basically understood.

He had never thought about these things before. Although he felt that life was hard, he could still get by. Now what Amber said made him see the current situation clearly, but what did this bring?

It brought him nothing but suffocation and despair. What good was it to understand all this? Was he capable of changing the desert? This brought him no comfort, but only pain.

"Don't fall into despair, Kusela." Amber's fingertips touched each other one by one. The light radiating from inside out interrupted Kusela's thoughts and attracted his attention.

"Look out the window, look at those date palm groves." As Amber spoke, Kusela turned his gaze out the window, and for a moment, he felt suddenly enlightened.

"Now, you should understand why I do this."

Kusela was silent for a long time. He thought about Amber's words and seemed to be weighing the pros and cons.

Regarding Amber's proposal, he actually had no intention of refusing it. Even if Amber's purpose was not what it was now, he would agree for the sake of his brothers, at least to get through this period first.

But now, he changed his mind. The leader in front of him was worthy of being a messenger of God. Her thoughts and vision were completely beyond his reach.

With vision, determination and ability, and such a great goal, what reason do I have to disagree?

"Huh..." Kusela took a deep breath and stood up. He had made up his mind.

"Ahmar's Beard is willing to obey the orders of the Lord of God and lend you a helping hand."

Amber nodded and stood up from her chair.

"Then, from now on, you will be renamed the 'Shield of Ahmar,' meaning the shield that protects the people of the Sand. I want you to steadfastly resist the schemes of those greedy individuals and safeguard the safety of every Sand People who seek a stable life."

"I'll follow your instructions." Kusela saluted Amber solemnly and didn't straighten up until Amber walked out of the reception room. He looked at the brothers outside the door, took a deep breath, walked towards them, and informed them of the news.

……

"Bang!" Along with the rapid vibration sound of the crossbow string, the sharp crossbow arrow broke away from the heavy crossbow in Ashanti's hand and stabbed straight towards the brigade leader who was hiding in the temporary camp under the rock wall.

The split of the Legacy of the God-King did cause a certain degree of chaos. Without the constraints of the list, the huge brigade became a mere name overnight. Many members who had long wanted to leave immediately chose to leave. Those who were dissatisfied with the pressure of the Legacy of the God-King also chose to work alone. Even more people broke away from the Legacy of the God-King and then formed new groups.

These people were familiar with the operation of the brigade, but did not want to be restricted by the rules of the Legacy of the God-King, so they chose to leave. These groups were of mixed quality, some were very experienced, and some were just a mob.

Some of these bandits ignored the "rules" of the wind erosion land. I don't know who gave them the courage to act so presumptuously here.

The crossbow arrow pierced the leader's chest. He, who was still laughing, fell to the ground almost immediately, wails coming out of his mouth, but with this kind of injury, he would die within a minute.

The atmosphere in the brigade's camp changed immediately. They were originally immersed in the joy of enjoying the loot, but when the merchant caravan saw that they had ill intentions, they immediately abandoned their goods and fled. This allowed them to make a fortune without losing a single soldier.

Previously they were still discussing how easy it was to grab things here, but they didn't know that the "reckoning" had already come.

It has become a consensus among the caravans in this area to abandon the goods directly when encountering bandits. This can ensure the integrity of these goods to the greatest extent. After that, the Red King's messenger will make these bandits die without a burial place, and will also recover the goods. If there is any loss, they will also receive due compensation. As long as their luck is not too tragic, they will never lose money.

It is precisely this kind of intensive treatment, coupled with the powerful execution ability of the Red King's envoy, that can make this place "safe" for a while.

Some of the bandits in the station rushed to grab their weapons, while others stood up and tried to find the attackers, but they could not see anything.

The air near these people suddenly had some extremely subtle fluctuations, and along with the fluctuations, the daggers pierced into their necks, as if there were ghosts at work, or as if the invisible god of death had arrived. This strange situation made them frightened.

For a moment, the sound of daggers piercing flesh and blood continued to ring out, accompanied by screams, but this only lasted for a few dozen seconds, and the entire camp fell into an eerie silence again.

Four figures appeared out of nowhere among the pile of corpses. Without wasting any time, they worked in pairs to collect the ribbons from the dead bandits, tied them to the leader's body, and then tied the leader's body to a cross.

A wooden frame was erected in the yellow sand. As one of the team members waved, a red eagle landed on his arm. He tied a piece of paper on the eagle's leg and released it.

There is a clear division of labor in a small team. Ashanti is responsible for long-range sniping of important targets, and the other four sneak in to carry out assassinations. One of them can act as a demolition expert when necessary, and the other two can take charge of frontal attacks. The last one is a tamer. He uses the tamed red vultures to convey messages to caravans that have lost goods, so that the caravans can come and retrieve the goods that originally belonged to them.

The two attackers piled the bodies of the dead bandits together and poured accelerant on them. The blaster took out a flask of fire element and ignited it, burning the bodies on the spot. The animal trainer quickly counted the goods here, estimated whether this caravan had previously falsely reported the value of the goods, and also prevented this caravan from falsely reporting the value of the goods in the future. Then the entire team withdrew to a place some distance away from here, waiting quietly for the caravan to come and take away the goods.

Within three hours, the caravan that had been anxiously awaiting the outcome arrived at the designated location. The leader was a forest dweller. He was skeptical about whether the goods could be recovered, but now, the scene before him made him feel horrified.

There were corpses tied to the cross, and a pile of corpses piled up next to it that looked like they had been burned and could no longer be distinguished from human beings, and there were bloodstains everywhere.

What was even more terrifying was that he could not see any signs of fierce fighting here, which meant that these bandits were completely crushed and had no power to fight back.

The smell of burning filled the sand. The leader forced himself to stop his racing thoughts and not let himself think about what the burning smell came from. However, many of his followers behind him did not have such mental strength, and the sounds of vomiting were heard one after another.

"Damn it, don't waste time! After you vomit, quickly load these things up! And you, you, and you, the three of you, collect these bandits' weapons and valuables. We have to hand them over to the Lord Messenger of God later."

The leader used curse words to vent his surprise mixed with fear. It was his first time to do business here. He had heard that many caravans from the forest came to the desert to buy local specialties at low prices and then took them back, making a lot of money. So he also wanted to come and chase wealth.

He originally didn't understand why this area of ​​wind erosion, which is a desert, could be considered a safe zone. Now he understands and deeply realizes the difference between desert and forest.

Such a scene would never happen in the forest - such a brutal massacre, but from the businessman's perspective, he really couldn't muster any sympathy for these robbers.

"MD, I told you not to touch my stuff!" The businessman spat at the leader hanging on the shelf. He took a few deep breaths before he felt the chill on his back subside.

The caravan moved quickly, and after a short while, the goods were packed. They also looted all the valuables from the robbers and packed them separately.

According to the rules, these items belong to the Red King's messenger. Their act of collecting these items can be regarded as a "reward" for the messenger's help in recovering the goods.

The leader had no greed for these things at all. The fate of these robbers before him was the best warning, and he didn't want to follow in their footsteps.

Chapter 60: What Gler Saw and Heard

Gler, a well-known and respected mentor of the Episcopal School, is perhaps one of the few people today who truly pursues wisdom from the bottom of his heart, rather than for fame and fortune.

He entered the Ordinariate at the age of seventeen, and more than fifty years have passed to this day. He spent most of his life as a scholar, never married, and cultivated many students. It can be said that he devoted all his life to wisdom.

Gle has always been interested in "new things", the wonderful little things in Fontaine, the long-standing culture of Liyue, the wine and poetry of Mondstadt, and the swords and legends of Inazuma.

Many scholars become complacent when they get older, clinging to their so-called "wisdom" until they die, but Geller is clearly not one of them.

Therefore, when he heard about this incident in the desert, he immediately submitted an application for investigation. After weighing the pros and cons, the great sage gave him a task and approved the application.

The mission is to confirm the "danger" of this rapidly rising Red King's envoy, evaluate her abilities, and try not to push her into the enemy's position.

Regarding the appearance of this "legendary" messenger of God, the highest representatives in the House of Lords had mixed feelings - they agreed on some points, that is, it was a good thing for the people of the Sand to be unified by a peace-seeking person, which actually reduced the probability of friction.

But no one can confirm what attitude the envoy has towards the rain forest. After all, she is the envoy of the Red King. She could be a friend or an enemy. At this time, someone who happens to be capable and dares to take risks is needed to go and confirm it.

It can't be secret surveillance. If it is discovered, it will lower the impression score. This happened to be when Gler submitted his application, which solved a problem that was bothering the great sage - it was not a big problem.

Finally, after recruiting five students with the same desire and abilities in Gele, the expedition team was formally established and officially left Xumi City a few days ago.

Geller didn't know how to describe the shock he felt along the way because of what he saw and heard that was beyond common sense. He felt as if he was chasing a legend, asking various people what they knew and thought, thus forming a path to the final answer.

Originally it was Kawan Station, which was probably the place where the largest number of Sand People gathered. As the only commercial hub between the desert and the rainforest, under the influence of the current era, many Sand People chose to find a job here to earn Mora.

Speaking of this...Gerle remembered the famous trial a year ago, the trial of the disciplinary officers stationed in Kawanyi who were partial and perverted the law.

These people were regarded as "typical examples". Their secret dealings with some unscrupulous wealthy businessmen in Kawanyi caused many tragedies. Therefore, they received the most severe trials. Afterwards, the disciplinary officers also launched an investigation into themselves. That period of time was known to everyone.

However, this is a good thing. If the disciplinary officers who maintain fairness are no longer fair, then the so-called teachings will be gone.

To this day, such incidents no longer occur in Kawanyi. Perhaps it is due to the attitude shown by the newly appointed disciplinary officer. The conflicts in Kawanyi are much less than before, and the station has truly become stable.

At that time, Gler and his group rested here for a day and took the opportunity to ask around, and they managed to piece together a complete framework.

The so-called Red King's Divine Envoy was originally just the leader of an unknown small clan, but at that time this leader had already begun to show her extraordinary ability.

Gler had also heard of the so-called "new elemental force weapon" in the House of Ordinances. The core part of the weapon was made using the energy components of the elemental energy construct. The manufacturer must have been very familiar with the characteristics of the elemental energy construct, which is why he thought of reusing it in this way. It can be considered an "excellent" work.

However, probably because the raw materials come from energy constructs, the production of this kind of weapon is not high. After analyzing its principles and confirming that there is no "contamination", the discipline officers will not interfere too much.

Only after this did the leader’s true legendary journey begin.

She used the knowledge inherited from the Red King to unite all the clans around the wind erosion land and work together in the same direction, which led to the current appearance of the land - 1/4 of the wind erosion land has been transformed into forest.

In addition, she also created an item called "Dictionary" and a complete set of basic education books - this is what Geller found most incredible.

You know, this is a scene that has never appeared anywhere else. Many scholars now look down on these things because they have convenient void devices, and think that there is no need for them to exist in this era, but Gler understands its significance very well.

If there were no void, these things would be epoch-making. It would be like opening a door in the fortress of "wisdom" and paving a road, allowing everyone to have the right to pursue wisdom. This confirms the teachings of the Great Compassionate Tree King.

Admittedly, as long as the Void Device exists, such things will not have much value in the forest, but the Void Device does not exist among the Sand People, so these things are of great significance to the Sand People.

Gler had seen the so-called dictionary before. It was lent to him by the genius of epistemology, Falusan, who lived a hundred years ago. This time when he went to inspect it, Gler also intended to buy one to take back as a collection - he has always liked this kind of thing.

In the process of God's messenger unifying power, something like the destruction of the Red Crown Clan also happened. This incident was rather mysterious and had no reference value. It just cast a veil of mystery over this so-called God's messenger.

The subsequent conquest of the Shayihe clan, the Blazing Hunters' open support for the Messenger of God, and the active joining of several traveling clans closer to the wind erosion area made the legend even more legendary.

To this day, the name of God's messenger has gradually gained popularity among the people in the desert.

Unite our strength to jointly create great things. If we continue to move forward step by step, the desert will become another rainforest in the future. This is the best way to solve the desert problem.

Thinking of this, Gler couldn't help but recall again the instructions given to him by the great sage before he left. He reminded him several times to put safety first and to find out the attitude of this messenger of God while ensuring his own safety.

Gler sincerely hoped that the other party was friendly, as no one would rashly become an enemy of such an existence.

However, Geluo was becoming more and more relieved about this. From the moment he received the reply letter from the Chi Nian clan to everything he had seen and heard along the way, it seemed as if everything indicated that the envoy of God was not an unreasonable person.

Come to think of it, caring about every ordinary person in the desert, taking in those traveling clans, mediating the endless fighting in the Upper Wind Erosion Land, and declaring to maintain the safety of all caravans in the Wind Erosion Land, such a situation usually won't be too bad at best.

"It's hard to imagine... that the desert is in this state now." The bespectacled scholar pushed his glasses and looked at the surrounding date palm groves in surprise.

The date palms were planted in an orderly manner, interspersed with a lot of tamarisks. Compared with the area they first passed by, the date palms here had obviously grown up, and grass was also planted on the ground. The place was full of green.

"Yes, I just feel like I am walking in a rainforest instead of a desert. The scene is really amazing." Geller stroked his gray beard and looked at the surrounding scenery in amazement.

"I remember a senior of mine once studied date palms. The scientific name for this tree is Tamarix, but date palms are more popular than that. Their roots can penetrate very deep and are drought-resistant. Caragana also has similar characteristics. I think he must have a lot of knowledge about these plants."

The female scholar took the opportunity to explain, which was affirmed by Gler.

"This is the field of the Shenglun School. Adding to the previous rumors involving the Zhilun School, the Sulun School, and the Miaolun School, this envoy of God is a rare genius in the Academy of Ordinances in a thousand years." The bespectacled scholar praised sincerely. There are very few scholars in the Academy of Ordinances who are involved in multiple disciplines at the same time, which further demonstrates the value of the envoy of God.

"I'm becoming more and more curious about this person..." Someone sighed, and everyone in the group agreed.

Except for Najete, he just sat there silently taking notes, with no intention of participating in the discussions.

Gler observed the scenery in the distance. If he was not mistaken, they should be there soon.

Chapter 61: Reception

"I guess you are the expedition team sent by the Ministry of Education."

Such a formal occasion would naturally be hosted by the experienced Yi. After hearing the news, she immediately brought a few people to help the expedition team unload their luggage.

Under the guidance of the guards of the expedition team and the people brought by Yi, they moved the luggage into the room one after another. They had been prepared for this situation and had already arranged the rooms.

"Thanks to everyone's kindness, we are so valued." Gler said with a smile. He was in high spirits. His intuition as a scholar told him that there were many "new things" here.

The unprecedented building materials, the wheat fields that appeared unexpectedly in the desert, the irrigation system in the wheat fields, the chicken farm that he had glimpsed before, and the house on the side that was obviously a library, everything made him very excited.

"This is the proper way to treat guests. The leader specifically reminded us that the inspection team from the Ministry of Education is our honored guest and cannot be neglected in any way."

"Hahahahahaha, it's just an old man with a group of young guys. I'm flattered to be valued so much by the Lord God's Messenger." Gler said politely, but he felt much more relaxed in his heart. Everything at the moment showed that the other party's attitude towards the expedition team was friendly, which was a good start.

"It's getting late now, let us helpers take you to rest." As Yi spoke, several people of the sand came out and led the scholars to the room to rest.

Although several scholars could not help but be curious about this place, they had to obey the other party's rules first because it was the other party's territory.

"As for you, Mr. Geller, the chief has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Okay, okay, then I'll trouble you to show me the way."

Gelu was fully aware of the current situation. They were welcomed as soon as they arrived at the Chi Nian clan, but so many people were actually a form of surveillance, asking them not to run around for the time being. This would probably last until the details of the investigation were finalized.

And what he was going to discuss with the messenger now was the details of the investigation.
