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

At the beginning of the battle, Gabriel concluded that Samel, who was trapped in the past, would not be his opponent. He knew Samel very well, but Samel did not understand his present self. He had been trapped in the past for too long, trapped in hatred for too long. Gabriel's last mercy was to bring Samel a quick death with a full-strength blow without holding back.

"How do you feel now that all this has been resolved?" Amber asked Gabriel, looking at the Holy Epiphany Hall that had been completely sealed and even turned invisible.

"I'm not as satisfied as I imagined... Instead, I feel empty. As expected, the so-called perfect golden dreamland never existed from the beginning?" Gabriel looked at the empty space where the Hall of the Epiphany should have been, with an unknown light flashing in his eyes.

Amber knew the truth about the so-called golden dreamland in the Hall of the Epiphany from the beginning, but this was something that Gabriel and Yufei had pursued for a long time. He should see it with his own eyes, which would also put an end to those experiences.

Those past events came to an end after he met the throne, and Youfei's revenge had been settled before. What should he do after this?

"Let's go back to the Chi Nian clan. Jade is still waiting for you."

"Well...but before that, let me go pay my respects to Yuffie."

Chapter 10: Creating the Future

In a small oasis west of the lower wind erosion area, stands an unnamed tombstone. For so many years, it has just stayed here quietly, like a lonely reef in the sea.

But today, it welcomed two visitors.

Gabriel half-knelt in front of the tombstone, stroking it with his calloused hands as if he were caressing a lover. Amber leaned against a date palm tree nearby, giving Gabriel enough space.

"You Fei, it's been a long time since we last met. A lot has happened in the past few years, and I have a lot of things I want to say to you."

"After you left, I took little Jade and tried to flee to the rainforest, but we met a clan leader along the way. She persuaded me with both emotional appeal and logical reasoning, so little Jade and I stayed here."

There was a rare tenderness in Gabriel's words. He placed his hand on the tombstone, as if he was really facing his wife after a long separation, and recounted everything he had experienced.

He talked about how he deceived Samel with the help of Amber, and recounted the various events he had witnessed in the past few years, from the Chi Nian clan to his student life in the Order Academy, and to the truth about the so-called Golden Dreamland.

"Who could have imagined that the golden dreamland we seek is actually the tomb of that king? His mistakes brought disaster upon himself, leading to the destruction of the Aru in the Red King's Tomb. To prevent a greater catastrophe, he built a second Aru behind his throne. It was his own tomb, where the king calmly accepted his own end."

"Perhaps, there is no such thing as a golden dreamland in this world. Even a powerful being like the Scarlet King could not build a perfect ideal city."

Gabriel sighed deeply. He and Youfei had been pursuing a goal for a long time, but now it was all in vain. If they had given up the pursuit from the beginning, would they have had a better future?

"Let's not talk about this, let's talk about Jade." Gabriel calmed down and looked in the direction of the wind-eroded land.

"Jade is doing well, much better than I initially imagined. She's happy with the company of her clan members and has made many friends. She's considered the leader of her generation. She learned to read a few years ago and now reads literature when she has free time. In a few years, she'll probably study at the Order House like me."

When mentioning little Jade, the corners of Gabriel's mouth rose slightly, revealing a smile from the heart.

"She has always wanted to meet you. There was a time when she even thought of the leader as her mother. In the past few years, I have been thinking about whether to tell her the truth, but... I have never been able to say it."

"I always felt it wasn't the right time. I was afraid that speaking out would cause indelible harm to Jade, a harm that would haunt her for the rest of her life."

"But now... I think it's time. Jade is already filled with love, and she's smart too. It's up to you. She might have already vaguely sensed the truth. There shouldn't be any problem telling her now."

Gabriel closed his eyes slightly, with some struggle in his heart.

"Youfei, when I encounter some problems, I often wonder what you would say to me if you were still alive. Just like now, if you were next to me, what advice would you give me?"

There seemed to be a reminiscence in Gabriel's eyes. When faced with a question, he always thought about how Yufei would answer.

"I think you'll choose to tell Jade the truth. We all love Jade deeply, but you'll never spoil her. You've always been a very measured person, and you always have your own opinions on major issues, just like now. Although the truth may make Jade depressed for a while, she will be able to get over it, and after that, she will have a better life."

"..." After he finished speaking, Gabriel fell into silence for a moment. At the beginning, he felt that he had a lot to say, but now he didn't know what to say. He always felt like something was stuck in his throat.

"Let me tell you about the changes that have taken place in the desert over the past few years. You'll definitely be pleased to hear them."

As if he had found a topic, Gabriel spoke again, and for a moment he was a little nagging, completely different from his usual silence. He talked about all kinds of things to himself.

From his perspective, he recounted the various changes in the wind-eroded land in recent years, and his feelings about living in the Chinanian clan at this time. He described the taste of date palm wine and the experience of wearing Fontaine clothing.

Even the most trivial matters were not spared. Gabriel was like a traveler who was bored and kept talking about various topics.

But no matter how many topics there are to talk about, there will be an end to them. After more than two hours, Gabriel fell into a long silence again.

Along with the silence came a bit of confusion and loss that he had previously deliberately ignored.

The Golden Dreamland - that was the goal that the two of them had devoted so much effort to. After Euphie's death, when Gabriel fled with Jade, he secretly swore in his heart that one day he would find the Golden Dreamland, bury Euphie in it, and let her enjoy eternal sleep.

However, the golden dreamland he finally saw was a tomb, just a tomb.

This is the source of Gabriel's loss, and a large part of his confusion also comes from this.

"Yufei, what should I do next?" Gabriel stared at Yufei's tombstone, his eyes filled with sadness for a moment. Although he did not show it, after seeing the throne, a lot of disappointment had accumulated in his heart. All this made him a little confused after he avenged himself by killing Samel.

He studied hard for five years to unravel the mystery of the golden dreamland, and the results of these efforts were remarkable. Before coming to the Holy Epiphany Hall, he and Amber went to the Red King's Mausoleum first, and he solved the mysteries there one by one. They also learned the location of the Holy Epiphany Hall and the qualifications to go there to meet the throne.

Gabriel thought that this trip would allow him to fulfill his promise to his deceased wife, but in the end it was all in vain.

Is it true that there is no such thing as a golden dreamland in this world?

Gabriel sighed deeply, but in his empty vision, a ray of light suddenly appeared. Gabriel subconsciously pursued the source of the light, and his sight turned to the wind-eroded land and the location of the Chi Nian clan.

During the five years he was away, Jade had grown much taller and matured a lot, and had completely integrated into the clan, becoming an indispensable member.

Gabriel still remembered that when he returned with the team to the Chi Nian Clan after five years and the clan had undergone tremendous changes, he saw Jade smiling from the heart in the square. She was playing games with her peers, games that they should really play at their age, instead of picking up weapons as early as he did when he was a child.

Gabriel suddenly remembered the reason why he chose to stay here, which was for Jade, for his and Yufei's daughter. He also remembered the purpose of his promise to Amber to lead the first group of Sand People to study at the Order Academy.

——That was not only to complete the goal that Youfei and he had been studying for a long time, but also to enable the Chi Nian clan to go further in the future and prevent tragedies like what happened to Jade and him from happening again.

The light dissipated and became invisible as Gabriel recalled these things. Gabriel turned back to look at Yufei's tombstone and said in a daze, "Are you answering me, Yufei?"

Gabriel stood up, as if he had found the key to breaking the confusion. The fog quickly dissipated as he thought, and his clenched hands were filled with strength.

So, was it really that important to him whether the Aru in the Hall of the Holy Epiphany was real or not? Where Jade was, and where the wind-eroded lands where the people of the Sand could live in peace, weren't they the real "Golden Dreamland"?

Perhaps it was the shock, loss and confusion of revenge brought by meeting the throne that made him turn into a dead end for a while and ignore everything in front of him.

Gabriel stood there thinking for a moment, turned around, tightened his dust-proof cloak, and walked towards the location of the Chi Nian clan.

Seeing this, Amber hurried to catch up. She naturally noticed the change in Gabriel's mental state. He swept away the many emotions that had been pent up in his heart and became extremely clear-headed for a moment.

"I thought you would talk for a while." Amber pondered. Gabriel was undoubtedly a strong man, but this so-called strength was not indestructible, just like a crack appeared on the thick city wall an hour or two ago.

"Youfei, just like before, has awakened me once again." Gabriel looked at the now-cloudy sky and exhaled deeply. "The fragile time is over. To prevent tragedies like Jade and me from happening again, I can't stop yet."

Amber increased her speed slightly and looked at Gabriel's back, which was more determined than before. She felt quite emotional for a moment.

Some things remain unchanged after hundreds and thousands of years, while some things undergo tremendous changes in just a few years, like the wind-eroded land, the Chi Nian clan, and Gabriel.

He has become stronger, both in willpower and strength, and is worthy of being the good man she recruited in the first place.

"Have you thought about what to do next?" Amber asked. Except for Gabriel, the first group of returning Sand People scholars have all been assigned positions. Several talents from the School of Life Theory have been placed in different places to study matters related to environmental improvement, and more pragmatic types like Asheng have also received corresponding tasks. Melk Amber, who was brought by Asheng, helped him out. He is now considered a formal adventurer. With the strength of this young man, he will surely become famous in time.

In the end, it was difficult to assign tasks for a while because of the knowledge related to the ruins mechanism that only Gabriel had learned.

"I haven't thought it through. Frankly speaking, these five years of study have only been to uncover the truth about the Golden Dreamland. Now that my goal has been achieved, my only remaining pursuit is probably to raise Jade to adulthood, and then do my best to contribute to your career, Amber, and prevent this tragedy from happening again."

As Gabriel spoke, he looked at his calloused palms. He curled his fingers one by one and clenched them into fists. The power contained in them was even higher than before.

The Eye of God is truly amazing. It gives its owner different degrees of physical enhancement. For example, Gabriel obtained a higher level of physical enhancement. Now, as his thoughts become clearer, this enhancement has increased a little bit. Perhaps the enhancement it provides is related to ideological awareness.

"Haha, in that case, Gabriel, how about being an adventurer?" Amber made a suggestion with a smile, which caused Gabriel to ponder.

"Although many members of the clan are currently registered with the Desert Branch, and I've also registered as an adventurer, we don't have anyone who can take this as their primary occupation. Perhaps you would be a good fit."

After hearing this, Gabriel thought for a moment and nodded. He asked Amber why she made such a suggestion.

"There's no reason. Although having a powerful and trustworthy full-time adventurer from the Chi Nian clan within the Desert Branch would greatly facilitate matters related to the branch, there's still no need for someone as skilled as you to step in."

Gabriel listened to Amber's words carefully. He did not speak, waiting for Amber to continue.

"If you really must give me a reason—I hope you can take my place and explore the desert while I'm away. You can also investigate the ruins there. This would be a great opportunity to utilize the knowledge you've acquired over the past five years. I think that's perfect."

"In that case, let's do it this way."

Gabriel nodded, with a plan in mind. Amber looked at Gabriel's current state, with an unknown color hidden in her eyes.

What she didn't tell Gabriel was that people like him were born birds, birds of thought. Long before Samel was still immersed in all kinds of hatred, Gabriel had seen through all of this and felt tired of it. But the environment around him was like this, and Gabriel was just habitually deceiving himself until he truly transformed and thus obtained the Eye of God.

But he was still some distance away from deriving his own philosophy of life. The idea of ​​"contributing to the cause of God's messenger and preventing tragedy from happening again" was just a prototype. So Amber took the opportunity to push Gabriel, allowing him to travel around as an adventurer and finally get his own answers and pursuits.

This may only take a moment, or it may take the next half of a lifetime, but it can always be found. Now the desert is really on the right track, and there is no shortage of good players in the open. It is also a good idea to hide Gabriel, the "ace" who has faded from the public's sight for a long time, and give him appropriate freedom. It is just as the saying goes, hiding the sword for future use.

Chapter 11: Sangko Mahabayi

Kawanyi, a shop some distance away from the main road.

Among the many shops in Kawanyi, this shop is probably the most bizarre one. It seems not to care at all whether it makes money or not. There is only one kind of goods in it, and most of them have to be reserved in advance. But even so, there is still a steady stream of customers.

Simply because what is sold here are elemental weapons.

This store has been open for five or six years, but it has maintained the same pace from the beginning to now. Many mercenaries who have a need for it - such as the backbone of the brigade, or powerful lone mercenaries, have basically become accustomed to this situation, and the information that artificial elemental weapons are scarce has become common sense.

——But is this really the case?

"Greetings, Ms. Sangge Mahabayi. I wonder what brings you here today?" Not far from the shop, at the storefront of the Rising Sun Caravan, which was founded by Wadiye, a young man was having a conversation with another petite young woman. There were wine glasses and some snacks in front of them.

"Oh, oh, just call me Dolly." The petite woman spoke in a leisurely tone, and she didn't seem to be arrogant at all. However, facing such a person, the young man opposite her did not neglect her at all. His words showed his upbringing and respect for Dolly.

The young man is named Mudra, the most outstanding eldest son of Wadiye. After taking over the caravan-related business from his father a few years ago, he managed it in an orderly manner and made it the largest caravan in Kawanyi.

And the person who sits opposite him and is personally received by him must have some extraordinary qualities.

Dolly Sange Mahabayi is an extremely famous businessman who has developed rapidly in Xumi City in a short period of time. It is said that she seems to be able to smell the scent of Mora and can always find "business opportunities" in some things one step ahead of others. At the same time, she can also obtain many rare items that others cannot get, and she also has a considerable caravan under her command.

It stands to reason that someone of her level no longer needs to be on the front lines all the time, and only needs to manage things like Mudra. However, she goes against her usual habit and insists on maintaining the current form of a one-person caravan, always rushing to the front lines, constantly looking for anything that can bring benefits, and actively developing the market.

Her only flaw is that many of her things are sold at very high prices. In addition, her style often gives people the impression that she is a greedy person. But Mudra knows more information. The most rare thing about Dolly is that while she quickly accumulates wealth, she also maintains the bottom line of a businessman.

This is hard to imagine. Businessmen who accumulate wealth quickly usually have all kinds of black materials that cannot be exposed to the sun. The accumulation of original wealth is mostly bloody. It is very rare to find someone like Dolly. Therefore, Mudra has a high respect for this colleague.

"I wonder what you are interested in this time?" Mudra had a smile on his face. Although there is a saying that competitors are enemies, the areas involved by the two are different. The Rising Sun Caravan mainly focuses on the desert, while the Casazale Caravan under Dolly mainly focuses on the rainforest. In addition, the two are involved in different market directions, and there is basically no conflict of interest.

"Of course you're after elemental weapons. If this thing were placed in the rainforest, it would definitely be very popular. Adventurers, guards, and disciplinary officers passing by would all want it." Dolly spoke frankly about the purpose of her trip, and Mudra seemed a little embarrassed when she heard it.

"It's exactly as you said. If we get permission from the Ministry of Justice, there will definitely be a big market. But I think you've seen the situation at the shops. The demand here in Kawanyi is far from enough to meet the supply, let alone expanding into the market in Xumi City."

"Oh my, let's not joke around, can we? From what I understand, you actually have quite a bit of elemental weapons in stock, right? You're just deliberately limiting the quantity you sell."

Dolly spoke out the truth in one sentence. Mudra did not lose his composure at all. Instead, this was a small test of Dolly. Now it seems that the rumors about this colleague are well-founded.

"Since you know, I won't keep you in suspense. The reason the sale of elemental weapons is currently permitted in Kawanyi is because there's already a trade in relic weapons here, and the monthly supply of elemental weapons tends to be relatively low. If a large quantity were released all at once, it would actually cause displeasure at the Order. Do you understand this?"

As if fearing that Dolly didn't understand it thoroughly enough, Mudla pointed to a certain place intentionally or unintentionally, and Dolly understood what he saw.

"In that case, it is indeed my lack of consideration." Dolly was relieved now. Just as Mudra said, even if the core material problem of elemental weapons has been solved and the output can actually reach a very high level, it is too bold to engage in large-scale elemental weapons trafficking under the nose of the Order House and it is easy to lead to imprisonment.

Dolly herself would not be opposed to going against the House of Lords as long as there were enough benefits, but Mudra's finger had previously pointed in the direction of the wind-eroded land. How could Dolly not know that this elemental weapon came from the hands of that divine messenger? There were rumors that she had a good relationship with the House of Lords. If a large number of elemental weapons suddenly appeared in Xumi City, then the first person to be suspected would be that divine messenger. There was no need for him to turn against the House of Lords for these benefits.

The pursuits of a chief and a businessman are naturally different. Dolly was just giving it a try this time, and it just happened to be on her way.

"It's nothing. Everyone has made mistakes sometimes." Mudla raised his glass. Dolly raised her glass as well. The two clinked their glasses and drank the wine in one gulp.

There are no regulations prohibiting minors from drinking alcohol in Xumi, but it does not encourage minors to drink alcohol. Many restaurants will refuse to provide alcohol to minors. However, most people don’t care about things like low-concentration light beer, which usually won’t cause drunkenness unless consumed in excess.

Dolly had just had her coming-of-age ceremony the year before, so she wouldn't be blamed for drinking. As the light green wine went down her throat, Dolly's eyes widened.

"—What kind of wine is this?"

"This is date wine." A look of "as expected" flashed in Mudra's eyes. This fellow winemaker had indeed keenly sensed the business opportunity. "This date wine is produced in the desert, or more precisely, from the Chinanian clan. It's the product of that divine messenger, who combined current winemaking techniques and improved them. It uses desert date palms as the raw material. However, due to production constraints, there was a surplus this year, so I got some and usually use it to entertain guests."

Dolly smacked her lips, as if she was savoring the taste of the date wine. Seeing this, Mudra took the initiative to pour Dolly another glass for her to taste.

This time Dolly was much more careful when drinking, savoring its taste carefully. The first taste was sweet, and the aftertaste had the "burning" that is unique to wine. It went down the throat into the stomach and made the body warm for a while. The feeling of being tipsy that slowly permeated her was even more fascinating and relaxing.

"It seems that the divine messenger also plans to export date palm wine. If you have any ideas, I can convey your request to the divine messenger."

"Huff, huff..." Dolly breathed out a sigh of relief and declined Mudra's suggestion.

"No need. I was planning to go to the Chi Nian Market anyway. I'll negotiate with the envoy myself." Dolly stood up and said that. She always did this when she discovered a new market. If she didn't seize the opportunity quickly, it would be snatched away by others!

"That's fine too. I wish you a safe journey."

As Mudra stood up to see her off, Dolly walked out of the reception room, put on the huge backpack, and took the rope of the pack animal, and hurried towards the wind erosion area.

Dolly is like this most of the time, one person and one pack animal, plus several huge backpacks, wandering around various places, looking for every opportunity to earn Mora.

……

"Wow - this tastes really good!" In Amber's room, Ah Ji held an extra-small cup in his hand and sipped the date wine in it. This was something that even Amber had not expected at first. Ah Ji liked to drink, but he had a physique that could never get drunk.

At first, when entertaining guests, Amber would share some with Aji. Now that the Chinanian clan has its own wine-making ability, Aji wants some wine every now and then. Her favorite at present is date wine. According to her, this "refreshing" wine is unique and is indeed one of the best quality wines. Perhaps the one who is most looking forward to the large-scale production of date wine is Aji.

"If someone else drinks like you, I will definitely issue a ban on him. Even though date palm wine is difficult to get drunk, drinking it so frequently will harm the body." Amber looked at the notes in her hand, smelled the smell of date palm wine coming from Ah Ji who was sitting at the corner of the table, and sighed helplessly.

Alcohol is not a good thing. Apart from its use in medical disinfection, the optimal amount of alcohol consumed is always zero. Now, because alcohol is really profitable, Amber started to study this - date wine is difficult to get drunk, and the taste is more like a drink with the taste of alcohol, which is a pleasant surprise.
