After saying that, Falushan followed Amber. The two crossed a road and came to the market under construction. The building with a unique style near the center was the branch of the Desert Adventurers Association under construction.

The leader was looking at the blueprint and giving orders, while Karelia was sitting beside him studying the map of the desert - this map was given to him by Amber as a testimony of the friendship between the two sides.

"Oh! I understand!" When Falushan saw the people dressed as adventurers and the building under construction, she instantly understood what was going on.

Indeed, Amber didn't have this need, but the adventurers definitely did! Why hadn't she thought of this before?

The scholar's academic thinking limited her. She only thought about making it to benefit the scholars who would study the ruins later, but ignored the adventurers who had a strong demand for such objects. Amber's thinking, which was different from that of scholars, awakened Falushan.

"Kare, this scholar has a project she wants to talk to you about." Amber walked to Karelia's side and pointed at Farusan who was standing beside her. Farusan was not at all nervous. She walked up and greeted Karelia.

"This is a scholar from the Ordinance Court who has made outstanding contributions to ancient mechanical engineering. She has a project related to 'relic exploration support equipment' that she would like to discuss with you."

"Ruins exploration support equipment?" Karelia put away the map and stood up to observe Falushan. He had never heard of such a person in the House of Lords before, but after all, it was Amber who introduced him to him, and Amber seemed to have no reason to deceive him.

"Yes." Farusan nodded. She seemed to have been prepared for this situation - or maybe it didn't take up much space so she just brought it with her. Farusan took out a blueprint from her waist bag, showed it to Karelia and explained it.

Amber did not interrupt the conversation between the two. She couldn't interrupt in this situation, so she simply accompanied Aji in his dreamland.

As Farusan described it, Karelia's eyes became brighter and brighter. He had thought it would be a regular gadget, but he had not expected it to be such a useful device.

According to Farusan, this kind of equipment can be used to guard adventurers while they are resting, preventing monsters from attacking during this time. It can also drive away weak monsters like slimes and mushroom beasts. At the same time, it can also be equipped with the tools adventurers need for their adventures.

Among them, what Karelia values ​​most is a device called "SOS Signal".

According to Falushan, a "receiver" will be set up in a specific place, and different devices will be assigned different numbers. If an emergency call is activated for a device within a certain range, the receiver will receive the signal and issue an alert. The staff next to the receiver can use the number to find out which adventurer is in danger, and then quickly track down their whereabouts and carry out rescue according to the commission.

In terms of rescue, a device in "emergency call" mode can be sensed by other devices within a certain range and issue reminders, and different levels of reminders can be made according to the distance between the two devices. This setting also greatly reduces the trouble in rescue work.

If the previous things made Kale extremely excited, then Falushan's next words completely convinced him.

"The receiver can receive emergency distress signals within half of Xumi. The signal relies on the earth's veins and is unlikely to be interfered with under normal circumstances."

"Good! That's great!" Kale didn't know how to describe his excitement. In fact, too many adventurers died because they didn't get timely rescue. For example, an adventurer accepted a commission and didn't come back for many days. At this time, the association found that something was wrong and organized a rescue, but it was too late and the adventurer had already died. Such things are not uncommon.

This stems from the helplessness in the dissemination of information, but at present, Falusan's invention can be said to have greatly alleviated this problem. How can Kale not be excited?

"Then Ms. Farusan, how much does one of your support equipment cost?" Kale suppressed his excitement and asked the last question, but this touched upon Farusan's difficulty, and she fell silent for a moment.

"...Ah, it's nothing actually, just tell me." Seeing this, Kale also knew what was going on, but he still held out some hope. This support equipment was expensive, so wouldn't it be possible to greatly reduce the cost by sending out an emergency distress signal separately?

Falushan thought for a moment and told the cost price if it were produced in batches. Kale was a little surprised when he heard it, but after thinking about it carefully, he found it acceptable.

If that product is commercialized, it will be considered a luxury item, but most adventurers can afford it if they save up enough. So what if a life-saving item is a little more expensive?

"So how much would a separate emergency distress signal function cost?" Kale asked the question he cared about most. Seeing this, Falusan understood the situation. Sure enough - the device she made to prevent situations like her from happening again was the most in demand.

Falushan said a price, and Kale felt relieved when he heard it. If it was picked separately, it would be much cheaper in an instant, and most adventurers could buy it directly. This is something that can really save lives in critical situations!

"Ms. Falushan, I will personally support you during this period. I hope you can make a set of samples for the Adventurer's Association's experiments. If it really has the performance you described—"

"Believe me, it will definitely have no trouble selling by then. The Adventurer's Association will then give you a large sum of Mora to purchase the blueprint, probably... this amount." Kalebi made a gesture.

"Eight million Mora?" Seeing this, Falushan said a number in shock, but Karelia shook his head.

"One zero less, eighty million Mora."

"Oh--!" Falusan felt that her heart was about to collapse. Amber quickly stepped forward and supported Falusan, preventing her from falling.

When had Falushan ever seen so much money? She had never sold anything like this before, and had no idea what it was worth. Naturally, she didn't know the price. A hundred years ago, when Falushan lived, many scholars developed new things and even announced them directly.

But now it’s different. Falushan also understands why so many people come to the Academy to study for the sake of profit - it really makes money!

"That's not all. If you have similar inventions in the future and consider the Adventurer's Guild first, that is, if we establish cooperation, the reward may increase further, up to this number." Kale only raised one finger this time, but in Falushan's eyes, this finger was simply the legendary golden finger that could turn stone into gold.

One hundred million! That's one hundred million! Not to mention Falushan, even Amber rarely sees such a large sum of money. It's worthy of being the Adventurer's Association, it's really rich and powerful.

Although in this case, patents may earn more in the long run, most scholars do not understand the twists and turns of business, and they do not have the ability to manipulate patent contracts to make continuous profits.

At present, there are very few scholars who can truly invent their own things and make a lot of money from them. Most of them are one-time deals, directly selling the technology in exchange for high returns.

Just like Falusan, she also planned to go for a one-time deal route, making money quickly with less risk.

"One hundred million!" Falushan exclaimed in disbelief. This time she really collapsed in Amber's arms and almost fainted.

Happiness came too suddenly and she was not mentally prepared at all.

Kale could understand Falusan's feelings. He was waiting for Falusan to recover. As the future branch president, he knew very well what the birth of such a thing would mean. In comparison, this level of reward was very reasonable.

The two then discussed some details, which was something Amber had no say in. Seeing that Falushan's research was on the right track, she decided not to disturb her too much and started planning some serious matters.

Chapter 75: Touching Xumi Person of the Year

"A truly good book, unlike the prohibitions in a book of teaching, is an educational meeting for children, a kind guidance to them, teaching them what is right and what is wrong in the form of stories." - A famous epistemologist mentor.

"It's very interesting. I think I would be happy to read this book to my children." - A veteran epistemologist who has trained many talents.

"It is no exaggeration to say that I think this book has created a new path for education. Different from the traditional way of education, it breaks down the truth, goodness and beauty of human nature and integrates them into the story to ensure that children are interested. Children can also gain their own insights in the process of reading. I believe this will become a treasure for them in the future." - Geluo, a mentor of the Zhilun School.

In a restaurant in Xumi City, a young man with big ears like an animal was reading a newspaper in his hand. This was a news report published by Steambird Newspaper, which recorded the latest happenings in Xumi every day. In the center of the back of today's newspaper was a fairy tale, telling the story of a village whose only way to the outside world was blocked by a mountain that fell from the sky. Some people prayed for God's mercy, while others fell into despair and spent day after day listlessly.

At this time, a strange man appeared. He carried a pickaxe and a backpack, and headed towards the mountain alone. He began to work on the mountain day after day. He said that he would dig a road to the outside world with his own efforts.

At first, many people did not understand his behavior and even laughed at him for pretending to be cool and saying that he would not be able to keep it up for a few days. However, the man ignored such words and just continued. Soon, people's eyes on him changed, from confusion and ridicule to surprise, and then to admiration.

Gradually, some people also picked up their tools and worked with him. More and more people came like this. Day after day, year after year, a tunnel was dug out of the mountain bit by bit. Finally, with the concerted efforts of everyone, the village established contact with the outside world again.

The protagonist's words at the end of the story are very touching: "We worked together and dug through this mountain with our own hands. We achieved something that we once thought only gods could do. If we can continue to unite like this when facing problems in the future, what problems can we not solve?"

After the story ended, the editor stated that this was one of the "Chi Nian Fairy Tales Collection" that would be sold later, and displayed the comments of many predecessors of the Zhilun School on the book. Combined with the quality of the story itself, it immediately became very attractive.

Tinari - the young man with animal-like ears - was a little moved for a moment. Just looking at this story, it is excellent enough. It tells a simple story in popular language, but does not make it interesting, and never deviates from the main theme it wants to convey. If the whole book has such quality, then whether it is an educational book or a storybook itself, it is excellent.

If that were all, Tinari would not be so tempted. He turned the newspaper to the front, where an article was prominently published. This was the personal investigation record of Mentor Gler, the leader of the investigation team that caused an uproar a few days ago.

Geller narrated the entire process of his investigation from his personal perspective, and evaluated the now famous messenger of God in the desert from his own perspective. He praised the messenger of God as a truly great man who changed his view of the people of the sand. At the end of the investigation record, Geller told the story about the collection of fairy tales.

The messenger of God decided to carry out this fairy tale written for children to the end. Any proceeds from the book will be used as charity to establish a foundation to support underage children in difficult circumstances so that they can also have the opportunity to pursue wisdom.

Geller commented that such a spirit shines like gold and is so admirable. He also called on parents who are able to buy such a storybook for their children. This is a small way to help those children, and the quality of this book will not disappoint.

That is why Tinari decided to buy a few copies for collection, reading and promotion. He has a kind heart, but he just doesn't know how to help those who really need help, and most people are similar to Tinari.

It can be foreseen that with the guarantee of Geluo, a highly respected and veteran mentor of the Zhilun School, many people will contribute their own efforts to this action.

Tinari put away the newspaper, raised his head from reading, and stretched his neck slightly.

Most of the diners around were discussing this matter. Faced with such a kind act, they were generous with their praise and affirmed the character of Gler and the messenger of God. Many of them lamented that they had been restricted by the stereotype in the past, and they did not expect that there would be such a group of people in the desert.

Coincidentally, during the time when the envoy of God rectified the entire wind-eroded land, the conflicts that used to occur from time to time at the sand-control wall have now mostly disappeared. The diners seem to attribute this credit to the envoy of God, and for a time, the envoy of God's reputation in the forest reached an unprecedented height.

Tinari could foresee what would happen next, but it was very likely that the things that would happen would be good things. As the messenger of God slowly advanced the process of turning the desert into an oasis, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the integration of the desert and civilization was an inevitable trend, and it was time to let go of previous prejudices.

Just as Tinari was about to get up, another scholar came towards him. He seemed to be looking for someone, and when he saw Tinari sitting in the corner, he approached quickly. Obviously, the person he was looking for was Tinari.

"Tinari, are you really not going to consider your mentor's suggestion anymore? If you stay here and continue your studies, you will definitely reach unprecedented heights!" The scholar stated the purpose of this trip right away. His voice was not small. Fortunately, most of the diners around were discussing the messenger of God, and no one cared about him.

"Shh... keep your voice down." Tinari had a headache. This was the most difficult problem he had to deal with recently. As a top student of the School of Life Studies at the Academy of Education, he had already graduated. Because of his ability, his tutor hoped that he could stay by his side to help him with his research. This was a sure-fire good job. Everyone knew that he would be successful in the future, but Tinari refused.

"You know, my advisor's research isn't what I want to pursue. I don't like being pressured into doing research I don't want to do. In comparison, I'd rather be a ranger in Daocheng Forest and research the areas I want to pursue."

"Ah... okay, I can't argue with you. I really don't know why you want to go to that place. Maybe it's the quirk of geniuses." The scholar sighed with regret. He was familiar with Tinari's character. Tinari would not change his decision easily. Seeing his firm attitude, it was obvious that there was no hope.

Daocheng Forest is the main road from Liyue to Xumi. It is also a place where travelers and some scholars gather. It is extremely rich in flora and fauna and is Tinari's ideal research environment.

It's just that compared to following a mentor, it really doesn't have much future. But Tinari doesn't care about this so-called future. If everyone is pursuing that so-called future, then should all other directions be abandoned?

Tinari feels that the current trend of conducting academic research for profit is not good, but he cannot change it and can only do his best.

"As long as I like it, I don't care about its future." Tinari stood up, and the scholar could only nod when he heard it. The two of them walked out of the restaurant together and then went to their respective destinations.

The discussion about the messenger of God is still taking place in various places in Xumi City, but it has no impact on the desert on the other side of the sand barrier for the time being.

"Hmm...Hmm..." In Amber's room, Aji was reading letters as usual, while Amber was making future plans on paper. This kind of scene is becoming more and more common now, thanks to the increasing number of letters sent from the outside world. Aji feels that he has become a tool for reading letters.

"20 places?" Amber stopped writing and thought about it. 20 places every year is actually quite sufficient. Amber was planning to arrange the second batch of Sand People to go to the rainforest to study recently, but she never expected that the goodwill from the Ministry of Education would come. It was like someone offering a pillow to her when she was sleepy.

These places also represent the attitude of the House of Lords behind them. It is friendly to their side, which is a good start.

If you think about it carefully, this is actually as it should be. There is no essential conflict between the two sides. Amber does not rely on plunder to revitalize the desert. It even stabilizes the situation on the desert side and greatly reduces the probability of friction between the desert and the rainforest. This is definitely a good thing for the House of Lords, and it is normal for the two sides to establish friendly exchanges.

Amber actually already had a preliminary plan for the selection. 20 tuition-free places were more than enough. After much thought, she decided to write a letter - a letter to Candice.

The current prosperity of the wind erosion land is inseparable from the support given by Aru Village. Since there are benefits, we should naturally share them together. This also gives Candice a chance to select a few promising talents and send them to the Order Academy for study in preparation for the future revival of the desert.

"Don't rush to write, there is still a letter..." Ah Ji rolled his eyes slightly. Why are the letters coming one after another without stopping lately!

"Respectfully, Your Excellency the Messenger of God." Aji cleared his throat slightly and recited solemnly.

"I am the head of the Steambird Newspaper's Xumi branch. Your deeds have recently caused quite a stir in Xumi City and throughout the rainforest. I admire you for your character, your spirit, and your deeds, and at the same time, I am filled with curiosity about you."

"I believe many people still want to know the story that happened here. As a professional former journalist, I see the potential for big news in you. I would like to conduct an exclusive interview with you. This will be published in the Steambird Teyvat Newspaper and circulated throughout the seven kingdoms."

"Your story will inspire many others like you - I truly believe it."

"I hope you can satisfy my little curiosity. Head of the Steambird Newspaper's Xumi branch, September 9th."

"Hmm, it's an interview—" Aji put the letter away and looked at Amber who was lost in thought, waiting for her decision.

Amber was actually a bit conflicted. Although she knew her actions couldn't be concealed, the fact that they had spread to the other six nations so quickly...wasn't it a bit too blatant?

But at the same time, she had to admit that with greater fame, her future would be easier, and she might even be able to get some sponsorship and cooperation opportunities.

"Forget it, what is coming will come, and you can't avoid it." Amber made up her mind and made up her mind. It was a matter of sooner or later anyway, so it might as well be sooner.

Chapter 76: A long absence

As the sun rises and the dawn light still lingers on the horizon, the agile eagle flaps its wings and soars into the sky.

Amber deliberately waited until she had walked for some distance before transforming into an eagle. She could hardly remember when she had last left the clan. In her memory, Amber had been busy dealing with affairs in recent months, and after the interview with the Steambird News was completed, it was foreseeable that there would be even more affairs to deal with.

Amber still remembers that she had a dream of becoming a free traveler at the beginning. Now it has become a dream. Many burdens are weighing on her shoulders, and her free time is much less than she imagined.

Even in the middle of the flight, Amber was thinking about some things, like it was time to announce the potion formula. Now her prestige had become the main cohesive force, so there was no need to keep these potions secret anymore. Teaching the mixing method would save a lot of time for dealing with the subsequent situation.

The entire journey lasted less than an hour, including the initial walking time. The ability to transform into an eagle did provide a lot of convenience.

Amber fell on a rock wall not far from Aru Village, overlooking the Aru Village below. Now even this rock wall is planted with plants - to be precise, because it has the conditions for planting, it is planted with plants. The entire Aru Village has also contributed a lot to the process of desert oasis. Many date palm trees have also been planted around Aru Village, and the wind and sand blowing into the village has become a thing of the past.

After confirming that there was no one else around, Amber changed back to her original form, landed with the help of the wings of wind, and slowly walked towards Aru Village.

After turning a corner, the guards of Aru Village also discovered that there were outsiders coming. When they were about to stop them to confirm, they met Amber's eyes that were as bright as gems. In just a moment, they recognized the identity of the person in front of them.

"Your Excellency the Messenger of God!" The two guards saluted quickly. They had great respect for this person who had changed the desert. Although they did not understand why the Messenger of God suddenly came here alone today, his appearance and aura could not be faked.

"No need to be so polite. I'm here to discuss some matters with Candice. Please go and inform her."

"Yes." One of the guards walked quickly into Aru Village upon hearing this, and the palm of Amber's right hand also emitted light. Along with the white light, Aji appeared from it. She stretched and moved her body slightly.

"Ah? Have we arrived at Aru Village? It's so fast." Ah Ji looked around. This was her first time going out with Amber, and she was quite curious about the surrounding scenery.

This is another function of the mark. It can be used to store certain items. Although Ah Ji is not an item, probably because Zhen Ling was once loyal to the Red King for a period of time, she can actually enter the mark in Amber's palm. It is quite convenient. It is like having an extra travel companion who will never fall behind.

"..." The remaining guard was quite shocked by the magical scene, and sighed in his heart that he was worthy of being a messenger of God, a person who truly transcended common sense.

"Okay, okay, be quiet. We're here to do serious business this time." Amber was quite helpless. Sometimes, Aji was like a curious cat, looking here and touching there.

Fortunately, she was quite obedient. After hearing Amber's words, she sat quietly on Amber's shoulder. The two waited for Candice to come. Not long after, the woman with short dark purple hair and a shield on her back appeared at the village gate.

"Hmm... what a beautiful person." Ah Ji sighed softly. Just as she said, after more than a year, Candice was almost fully grown up and had grown a lot taller. Coupled with the body curves developed through exercise, she was truly a beauty.

"How come you suddenly have time to come to Aru Village?" Candice raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and approached Amber with a chuckle.

"I only have some time these two days, so I came to discuss something with you." Seeing this, Amber also walked over. The two met on one side of the suspension bridge and walked slowly towards Aru Village together.

"Is it business or personal?" Candice's voice was very soft, which was inconsistent with her appearance. Her voice was usually very gentle, but when she really started fighting, it was a completely different scene.

"Which one do you want?" Amber was not in a hurry. As long as she could go back before tonight, the time was not too tight. Therefore, she let go of some of her usual concerns. For a moment, she was more like an ordinary sand person rather than a leader or a messenger of God.

"Of course I hope that the respected Messenger of God can tell me some private matters between women and discuss some topics about ordinary people, but this is obviously impossible, isn't it?" Candice crossed her chest with one hand and supported her chin with the other hand, with a hint of teasing. Just as Amber did not have the airs of a Messenger of God, Candice did not have the airs of a guardian in front of her acquaintances.

"Maybe later." Amber smiled helplessly, "There will always be a chance later."

While talking, the two walked to the house that was often used to receive guests. Candice opened the door and Amber followed closely behind.

"This time, it's about the Ministry of Education recruiting students from the desert." Amber closed the door and stated the main point of the trip straight away.

"Oh? The Order of the Holy Spirit is actually willing to recruit students from the desert?" Candice picked up the teapot and poured two cups of tea, then sat down face to face with Amber. Candice knew very well that the Order of the Holy Spirit would not do this for no reason, and she waited for Amber's explanation.
