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

In the conference room, Amber stood up and shook hands with the leader of the team sent by the Adventurer's Association. He was a strong adventurer with one eyeglass, wearing green-based clothing, with a waist bag and various small tools hanging around his waist.

His name is Karelia, and he will be the president of this branch in the future. This time he will be responsible for the relevant matters of establishing the branch.

"Thank you for your help, Ms. Amber." The leader's attitude was very enthusiastic, and there was respect from the bottom of his heart. What they, the adventurers, pursued was adventure, and he naturally couldn't hate someone like Amber who provided a great deal of convenience for their adventure.

As for what benefits the other party wants to gain from it or what their purpose is, he doesn't care as long as it doesn't affect their expedition.

"No, no, it's a win-win situation, a win-win situation." Amber exchanged a few more pleasantries with the other party and then turned to the main topic. This team had just arrived an hour ago, and then came to discuss cooperation with her without stopping. It can be said that they were full of sincerity.

"I believe you all know that I am building a commercial district. I plan to set up the Adventurer's Association's desert branch here. It will be much more convenient for adventurers to meet their needs for supplies."

"Commercial district... You are really far-sighted, but the current environment in the desert is not enough to create a complete business environment, right?" Karelia raised his doubts. He has some research on these things, but the people of the sand currently do not have enough demand and do not have enough spare money to spend. What's the use even if a commercial district is really established?

"That's why I took the initiative to provide the Adventurer's Association with the conditions to establish a branch." Amber smiled and pointed out her purpose. Karelia immediately understood what was going on.

I see! The leader before us is interested in the adventurers' purchasing power! After the branch is established, the adventurers gathered here will inevitably have many needs, and that is a lot of Mora.

When adventurers gather here, many of them will have the need to open shops and stalls here. The Chi Nian clan can also collect some rent. The Mora flowing in from outside will gather here, which will drive the economic development here.

The leader before him was indeed extremely wise. He immediately saw the only feature in this barren desert that could bring huge benefits - the numerous ruins.

"I've really opened my eyes today." Karelia nodded with emotion. He didn't reject Amber's selfish motive. Not only would it not cause any harm to the adventurers, on the contrary, the merchants who would gather here later would provide many benefits. Why not do it?

As for the consumption needs of the many clans around, Amber has also planned a way to deal with it. She will designate the 5th, 15th and 25th of each month as "gatherings", which is also an official good time for trading. After that, if the surrounding clans and groups have needs, they can come here to trade during the corresponding period.

Setting specific gathering days also helps caravans plan ahead and bring in batches of goods intermittently, which is more conducive to development.

Once the commercial area is basically operational, we can proceed to the next step.

"Then your rooms are ready. You can rest here with peace of mind during this time and plan how to build the branch headquarters." Amber shook hands with Karelia again. The two stood up and exchanged a few more words. Karelia then walked out of the reception room and took the other people in the team to inspect the commercial area.

It will take some time for the construction team to arrive, and they have to complete the design of the branch’s residential building within this time difference to ensure that construction can start directly after the construction team arrives.

Amber also walked out of the meeting room and stretched her waist. Not far away, Yi was counting the supplies sent by the caravan. As the life in the clan really got on track and became peaceful, Yi gradually turned to clerical work, taking charge of some reception affairs while also taking charge of accounting work.

Apart from these ruins that can be used to attract adventurers, there is only one thing left in the desert that can be exported in large quantities - date palms.

The date palm trees that Amber stimulated to grow with chemicals may bear fruit later, but the fruits will be very small, will not taste good, and will not have a high sugar content. They have basically lost their value as fruit trees and only have value as excellent tree species for windbreak and sand fixation.

These date palm trees can be supplemented with subsequent maintenance through new agents so that they can also bear fruit and harvest dates normally, but amber is only used on a portion of the date palm trees, and it would be difficult to manage more than that.

The date palm harvest season will come in another month, and the members of the Chinanian clan who are responsible for preventing wind and sand will need to stop working to harvest the dates.

The other clans in the alliance also have such date palm forests, and the amber has already found buyers. At that time, each clan only needs to transport the date palms within the specified time period and sell them together.

"I'm going to be busy again--" Amber muttered to herself as she walked towards her room. Aji seemed to sense Amber's presence and opened the door in advance-this time she was immersed in reading a new book and did not interfere in the meeting between Amber and Karelia.

Amber sat in the chair in front of the desk again, writing and drawing in her notebook, making plans for the future.

……

"What are the results of this investigation, Gle?" In the office of the Great Sage high up in the House of Commandments, Azar sat at his desk, classifying the canned knowledge that needed to be entered into the Void on the subsequent Knowledge Storage Day, while listening to Gle's report.

Gler was standing on the other side of the desk, respectfully reporting to the great sage what he had seen and heard. He spoke from an objective perspective without any personal emotions involved. This was one of the reasons why Azar felt that Gler was the perfect candidate for investigation.

Gler and Azar had been in the House of the Decrees together, but Gler had more seniority than Azar. When Azar was designated as the next Great Sage, he took Azar to celebrate together.

Over the years, the ability of this old friend has been obvious to all. Hazard's ability is obviously up to standard. Such a large House of Worship is managed in an orderly manner. If he really has any shortcomings, it is probably that he is easily arrogant.

Gler didn't think this was a big problem, at least not now.

"Hmm..." Hazard's expression changed as Gler spoke, from being a little careless at first to becoming serious, and now he completely stopped what he was doing and listened attentively to Gler's story.

The results of Geller's investigation were so shocking that it was hard to imagine that such a talent could be born in the desert.

'Could it be that she truly has been blessed by the gods?' Azar couldn't help but wonder, that level of achievement was enough to put her among the ranks of sages, and for a moment, he couldn't quite believe his ears.

The original rumor only mentioned the Red King's achievements in controlling the desert in more than a year. If he were placed in the House of Ecclesiastes, he would be a rising star. But now, combined with Gler's report, in fact, this person is more than just a rising star.

Azar's eyes couldn't help but become serious. He had to know the other party's attitude towards the House of Lords.

"Tell me what you think of this divine messenger, Gle."

At Azar's suggestion, Gler no longer hid his admiration for the messenger of God and expressed his feelings without reservation. At the end of the story, Gler gave a summary.

"This divine messenger is a truly great person. She possesses vast knowledge yet never becomes arrogant. She has endured countless hardships yet never been broken. Although she is the divine messenger of the Scarlet King, her every word and action aligns with the teachings of the Great Compassionate Tree King. If the desert stands in her way, she conquers it. If the era stands in her way, she changes it."

"In terms of ability and character, she is no less than any sage of the contemporary era. She even has a compassionate heart like the Great Kindness Tree King." Gler was filled with emotion for a moment. He told Azar about his conversation with the messenger before leaving, and gave the book he brought with him to Azar for his review.

"..." Azar quickly flipped through the book in silence. A literary work can often reflect the author's personality to a certain extent. Through this fairy tale and Geller's narration, an image shining with golden light emerged before Azar's eyes.

Hazard seldom truly admires someone, and he finds it hard to believe that such a person could exist in the desert. But he knows Geller very well. Although Geller smiles kindly all day long and is not arrogant, he truly admires someone less than Hazard. If even Geller is like this, it is at least 80% credible.

"...Personally, I admire and respect this kind of person," Azar began, speaking slowly. "But right now, I must consider this from the perspective of a contemporary great sage of the Order. Geller, do you think this person poses a threat to the Order, or even the entire rainforest?"

"I don't think so," Geluo said seriously. "That divine messenger cared not only about the desert, but also about the entire Xumi. She knew that hatred would bring nothing, and that good times depend on peace. Under her leadership, the area surrounding the Wind Erosion Land has become a peaceful and harmonious place. There are no thieves causing trouble, and the people of the Sand Land can live and work in peace and contentment."

"It was she who sent the first group of Sand People into the rainforest a year ago. She truly understands the desert's current plight and intends to have them learn advanced knowledge from the forest so they can change the desert's current situation, making 'barbarism' a thing of the past and allowing civilization to survive."

"Learning advanced knowledge about the rainforest to change the desert? That's a good idea." Hazard nodded, his expression softened, and he felt some genuine admiration in his heart.

At first, he thought that Falusan was being partial to those people of the Sand and was seeking benefits for themselves, but later he found that these people of the Sand were really working hard, so he gave up the idea of ​​punishing Falusan.

He truly believed that the House of the Order was the highest-ranking academy in the Seven Kingdoms, a place where all wisdom and knowledge gathered. The other party sending the people of the Sand to study was a proof of their humility and willingness to learn, and it also indirectly proved the man's foresight and good intentions.

Azar always thought that the desert was a barren land where the flowers of knowledge could not bloom, but now he has changed his mind.

"The Great Compassionate Tree King taught us that everyone has the right to pursue knowledge. Now that the desert has changed, and my Order of the Holy Spirit is no pedantic organization, it's time to come up with some countermeasures."

"What are you planning?" Gler's heartbeat quickened a little when he heard that. He knew that if his old friend showed such an expression, he must be planning to do something big.

"To demonstrate the Faculty's commitment to the Great Compassionate Tree King's teachings and to adapt to changing circumstances, Gele, notify the secretary and have him write a letter in his name, granting that divine messenger 20 quotas each year. She will select 20 people of the Sand to receive six months of basic education at the Faculty. They will then be admitted as normal scholars, with tuition waived."

Hazard pondered and then outlined a series of measures: "As for your desire to set up a foundation, go ahead and do it. I allow it."

This is a gesture of goodwill and also a way to establish cooperation. Maintaining a good relationship with such talents will help you go further. If the 20 Sand People from the alliance perform well each year, you can then start recruiting students from the Sand People and appropriately relax the system to allow the Academy of Teachings to have more fresh blood.

Azar rejects barbaric and uncivilizable people, who will only destroy the academic atmosphere in the House of the Decree. However, the People of Sand who are making changes now are not among them. Azar is not pedantic in this regard. He is happy to see people who pursue wisdom gathering in the House of the Decree.

"I understand." Gler nodded. He understood what Azar meant. This would also be good news for the messenger of God.

Chapter 73: Paper Controversy

Steambird News - this is probably the most famous newspaper in the entire Teyvat. Relying on Fontaine's advanced technology, they have established a complete intelligence transmission network between countries to ensure that first-hand information can be transmitted back to the main newspaper at any time. The main newspaper will formulate a new period of newspapers, and then distribute them to the subordinate newspapers for printing and sale.

In order to confirm its dominance in the newspaper industry, Steambird Newspaper has divided the newspaper into multiple categories and sections. There are categories for various academic discussions, daily chats, gossip tabloids, etc. There are also localized newspapers made according to the differences of each region. For example, each school of thought in Xumi has a special newspaper category. After all, it is a city of academia and knowledge.

However, recently, a joint paper published on it has ignited the entire House of Religious Orders.

The paper describes the author's findings from the desert investigation from the perspectives of four schools: the School of Life Theory, the School of Cause Theory, the School of Knowledge Theory, and the School of Wonderful Theory. It has been revised by Professor Ge Le to ensure that it is interesting to read and retains academic significance.

A novel basic education system, a complete analysis of the principles of transforming deserts into oases, a new building material called concrete, and a holiday called Labor Day and the meaning behind it.

The academic value contained in this paper is obvious to all. It is both novel and valuable. There are so many scholars in the entire Institute of the Church, and the graduation theses they usually write are basically not very original. Most of them just chew over what their predecessors have studied and try to find something new. The remaining small part will try to open up new tracks, but this is often difficult.

It is hard to imagine a joint paper like this covering four schools of thought - any one of them would be of great value if taken alone, let alone put them together.

For a time, the entire House of Religious Affairs was discussing this paper and the meaning behind it.

The image of a clan fighting against the sky with their own hands in the desert comes to life on paper, and such a novel way of survival has aroused heated discussions among scholars.

"Asheng, I didn't know the place you came from was so powerful!" In a house on the edge of Xumi City, the scholar from the forest who was sitting next to Asheng and reading a newspaper spoke. Hearing the scholar's voice, Asheng sighed and stopped the work in his hands helplessly.

"This is the fifth time you've said that to me today, Melkor."

"Hey, I'm just curious..." Melk scratched the back of his head embarrassedly. He subscribed to the Steambird's major academic newspaper, a gossip tabloid and Xumi News. Ever since he got the newspaper from the Steambird messenger this morning and took a look at the content, his state of surprise and curiosity has remained until now.

He had heard rumors about the Red King's envoy before, such as that she had accomplished the feat of transforming a quarter of the wind-eroded land from desert to oasis in just over a year, but that was all. Although there were many more rumors, it was difficult to tell whether they were true or false.

This is the first time that an official survey report of this nature has been published. The paper does not directly mention where these technologies come from, but only says that they come from a clan in the wind-eroded land. However, anyone with a discerning eye can guess what is going on.

"Alright, alright... I asked my tutor for homeschooling because of this recent incident." Ah Sheng sighed again, "For the sake of our group project, just be quiet."

Thinking of the situation in the past two days, Ah Sheng felt a headache. Since last night, scholars have come to watch them, the people of the sand, and they were muttering to themselves. Ah Sheng immediately found Falushan to verify and found out what was going on.

This might be a good thing for the clan, but it's hard to say for the Sand People who are studying... In order to avoid being harassed again and again in the future, Ah Sheng got up early this morning to apply to his tutor for home study. After being successfully approved, he plans not to go out for the next few days.

"Okay..." Melk nodded, picked up a novel and started reading. The room became quiet for a while.

He had formally reached a deal with Asheng a few days ago. He paid Asheng a fee, and Asheng allowed him to join the team to ensure that the assignment would be successfully passed.

Melk is the child of a scholar, which is very common in Xumi. Scholars form families for various reasons, and most of their children also engage in the same career. But Melk is one of the very few. He has no interest in pursuing academic achievements.

——He just wanted to be an adventurer, travel around the seven countries and experience the exotic scenery.

But his parents thought it was too dangerous and refused to agree, saying that he could study any subject but he had to choose to become a scholar. Melk chose this unpopular subject out of spite, but he didn't expect that he would actually make it in.

Melk admires Asheng very much. Although Asheng is a Sand Citizen, he is really hardworking, which is enough to surpass most people, which makes him admire him very much.

"Well...but I'll have to trouble you to bring me some food later. I'm not in a good condition to go out now." A Sheng stopped writing and made a request to Melk while thinking.

Melk agreed readily, and they actually got along very well over the past few days. Asheng completely broke the image of the Sand People that Melk knew, and Melk was also reasonable in Asheng's eyes - more importantly, he had no scheming at all and treated people sincerely.

Calm quickly returned to the room. There were many scholars from the Sand People who chose to hide for a while like Asheng. In addition, there were also those who chose to directly apply for field trips - like Gabriel, who had just packed his luggage and was heading out of Xumi City.

"Oh! I'm so angry!" Farusan followed behind Gabriel. She still felt upset when she recalled what happened before. This was her seventh application for research funding but it was rejected. Obviously, this research project was very serious!

"Don't be angry, Teacher Farusan. This has happened more than once or twice. It's better to get used to this kind of thing sooner rather than later." Gabriel's condition at this moment was not very good. He had already experienced how "passionate" a curious scholar could be, and he was exhausted both physically and mentally.

"I don't want to be angry, but this is clearly a 'Support Agency for Ruins Exploration' project. Why would the funding for something like this be blocked?" Falushan sighed. She had been running around for these applications these days and was quite tired.

"Calm down, calm down. It's not worth it." Gabriel counseled Falusan. In fact, he knew very well why it would not be passed, and Falusan also knew it. That group of old guys took it for granted that Falusan's research was outdated and not worth wasting money. Falusan just wanted to vent her grievances at this time.

"Look at the bright side. Maybe the Lord God will fund your research there."

"I hope so..." Falusan sighed. Şebele had originally intended to apply for an inspection trip to avoid the limelight, and this happened to coincide with Falusan's desire to relax, so the two of them hit it off and decided to go back to the Chinaian clan for a visit.

Gabriel thought that Falusan could try to apply for research funding from Amber, but Falusan no longer cared about it. She was already tired of the back-and-forth wrangling over the funding application, and it was enough for her to have a good rest this time.

The two of them walked out of Xumi City while chatting, and Şebeleel didn't breathe a sigh of relief until they had completely left Xumi City. Now they were truly out of the city, and they would probably have to hide for more than a month.

——It’s just right, I can go back and see little Jade.

……

"...Hmm." In the library of Xumi City, the manager was looking at the book in his hand and pondering. Sitting opposite him was Gelu, who was waiting for the manager's reply.

With the nod of the great sage, the book passed the review in just a few days. Since there was no problem with the book itself, the subsequent printing permits were also green-lighted. Now the only thing left was to find a suitable bookstore to establish a cooperative relationship, and then officially print and sell it.

"Mr. Geller, as an educational storybook, it is indeed excellent." The administrator closed the book and gave his affirmation.

"However, this bookstore, or the other two reliable bookstores, have never attempted to print any children's books in large quantities before. I'm not sure whether it will be popular." The manager thought and expressed his concerns to Gler.

Before this, the bookstore had never printed large quantities of children's books like this. The reason was very realistic: compared with adults, children do not have the purchasing power. Children's books are aimed at children, but usually the permission of the children's guardian is required to constitute a transaction. This is naturally much weaker than novels for adults and young people and some classic literary masterpieces.

"That's okay. If your difficulty is how to convince adults to buy these for their children, I already have a solution." Gler smiled, which attracted the manager's attention. He solemnly asked Gler for advice, and Gler told the manager about his plan.

To sum it up, it can be summed up in one sentence - the expert effect. Geller himself is a famous mentor of the epistemology school. He can easily give the book to his colleagues to read and collect their comments. At the same time, he can add his own evaluation that "this is a book that is very helpful for children to develop good values ​​in the future", select one of the stories to publish in the Steambird newspaper, and finally add a date when the complete book will be released, and the whole plan is completed.

The manager's eyes brightened as Geller described the situation. He could fully imagine the situation.

"This is a really good idea!" The manager shook hands with Gler and exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.

"Then, I wish us happy cooperation."

Chapter 74: Reunion after a long separation

"Why did you suddenly remember to come back here, Teacher Falusan?" In the Chi Nian clan, Amber took Aji and Falusan for a leisurely walk. Aji had no intention of participating in the conversation between Amber and Falusan after a year, and focused his attention elsewhere.

Before, Gabriel and Falusan came here exhausted. Amber and little Jade were very happy about their return. Now Gabriel was probably taking little Jade for a walk to make good use of this hard-earned time.

"Bring my students here to seek refuge." Falusan gave Amber a sullen look. "You have no idea how much suffering the expedition's report caused Gabriel and those Sand People scholars. They either asked for leave to study at home or applied to go out on expeditions to avoid the limelight."

"I can't help it." Amber shrugged. This kind of thing was out of her control. She couldn't stop the other party from speaking, could she? This was against the rules.

Moreover, after the publication of this report, it will also change some of the forest people's stereotypes about the desert, which will be conducive to the integration of the desert with civilization in the future. In the long run, it should be a good thing.

"Forget it, forget it. That's not what I want to talk about. This time, I'm actually here to relax." Falushan sighed, told Amber about her current situation, and poured out her grievances.

It's strange to say, she was born and raised in the rainforest, but when she encountered such troubles, the first thing she wanted to do was to run to the desert and return to the Chi Nian clan to relax.

"Indeed, this research funding card is really unreasonable." Amber shook her head, feeling somewhat sympathetic towards Falushan.

"But since it's a device to assist in exploring the ruins, I actually have an opportunity."

"Ah? You really have an idea?" Falusan widened her eyes. Although Gabriel had said something similar before, Falusan didn't take it to heart at all. She didn't think that this kind of thing was of any use to amber, and she obviously didn't have much need to explore the ruins at the moment.

"There's obviously no need to explore the ruins here, right?"

"It's not me who needs it, it's others who need it. Come with me, I'll give you a surprise--" Having said this, Amber rarely showed a bright smile. Such an expression rarely appeared on her face. It might be because of the busy affairs, or it might be the burden of being a messenger of God and a leader. Only the rare time like now truly belongs to her.

"You're still playing with mystery..." Falushan waved her hand, "Alright, let me look forward to it."
