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

Many stubborn old people may not be able to get used to this kind of wine, but it can definitely conquer most young people who are pursuing new things. Amber is absolutely confident about this.

"However... the efficiency of brewing date palm wine is a bit slow after all. The scale is already quite large, and the main problem is the process." Speaking of this, Amber sighed. The desert does not have the conditions for brewing high-quality wine. She improved the brewing techniques and tools to brew the current date palm wine, which is a remarkable achievement, but it is not enough.

Its production cycle is too long, and the amount of date wine produced in one cycle is not enough. If it can be replaced with better tools, the efficiency should be greatly improved. However, Amber does not quite understand how to design such tools, and even if such tools appear, the desert does not have the conditions for mass production of such tools.

"Could it be... I have to hire another craftsman? Or should I just issue a commission directly?" Amber muttered to herself as she looked at the scenery outside the window, and set her sights on Fontaine again.

How great would it be if Xumi could have an industry as developed as Fontainebleau’s?

Chapter 12: Rice Wife Country

In the land of thunder and lightning, in Inazuma, which is made up of many islands, unprecedented changes are brewing.

The castle tower, the residence of the sole ruler of Inazuma Castle, the main city, is a towering building that stands shoulder to shoulder with the might of the gods. However, thick thunderclouds are gathering on the dome above it.

“…Execute immediately, without error.”

"Yes, General!"

Baalzebul, the only ruler of Inazuma and the current God of Thunder, looked at his follower kneeling on the ground in front of him and issued the latest orders with an attitude that could not be questioned. Along with her voice as sharp as a knife, there was the rumbling thunder outside the castle tower.

The God of Thunder is a rare god who directly intervenes in the management of the country and serves as the supreme ruler. She is respected by the people of Inazuma and is called "General Thunder and Lightning". She possesses absolute military power, and her swordsmanship has reached the pinnacle - her sword is famous overseas. It is said that this sword has the power to split mountains and break seas.

There were four people kneeling in front of the general at this moment. In addition to Kujo Sara who was the leader of the army, the other three were the leaders of the three major bugyo who were directly involved in the management of the entire Inazuma. They were Kanjo Bugyo who was responsible for managing the entire Inazuma trade and finance, Tenryo Bugyo who was responsible for managing Inazuma's public security and served as the main military organization, and Sha Bugyo who was responsible for Inazuma's cultural affairs.

It is managed by three families: the Hiiragi family, the Kujo family and the Kamisato family. At present, the leaders of the three families are kneeling in front of the general, listening to the general's decision.

"Step back." After the four people gave a unanimous answer, General Lei Dian waved his hand to signal them to step back. The four people saluted the God of Thunder solemnly and slowly walked out of the castle tower.

"With the General's decision, the Society Bugyo will be busy for quite some time to appease the people. I'd like to say hello to you all here first. If you encounter any problems in the future, please give me some help." Kamisato Ayato, the current head of the Kamisato family, was one of the two young men present. He spoke first with a decent smile on his face.

"Hahaha, there's no need to be like this, Kamisato clan leader. We all work for the Shogun. When the time comes, the issues concerning the community magistrates will also be our Tenryo magistrates' issues. In such a situation, we should all unite well." Kujo clan leader Kujo Takayuki responded with a hearty laugh. "But the Kamisato clan hasn't fully recovered yet. Do you need our Kujo clan to send some people to help?"

"Yes, I heard that the head of the Kamisato family has a younger sister who is about to reach the age of marriage. I have a son, and the two of them can spend more time together then." The head of the Hiiragi family also joined the discussion, and Kamisato Ayato just smiled at this.

"Although we are indeed a bit short on manpower, it's not a problem for now. If there's any need, I won't hesitate to help you two." Kamisato Ayato paused and continued, "As for my sister's marriage, as the eldest brother, I'm naturally very concerned about it, but it's ultimately up to her own wishes, so I can't interfere too much."

"This is for the good of the younger generation. How can we let impulsive young people attend such an important event in life?" The head of the Hiiragi family gave some earnest advice, but Ayato just smiled in response.

"Alas, Patriarch Hiiragi's thinking is not advisable. As elders, we can't completely ignore such matters, but we can't be too strict either. As Patriarch Kamisato said, it all depends on the younger generation's own ideas. The most we can do is let them get to know each other. As for whether they will be attracted to each other, that is beyond our control." Patriarch Kujo waved his hand and said, "From now on, it will be the world of these young people."

The Hiiragi family head looked at Kamisato Ayato, who maintained a proper smile, and then looked at Kujo Takayuki, who was currently acting like a good brother. He suppressed his slight resentment in his heart, smiled and nodded, "Indeed, I was wrong this time. I apologize to the Kamisato family head here."

Although he was apologizing to Kamisato Ayato, the head of the Hiiragi family was looking at Kujo Takayuki out of the corner of his eye.

"There's no need for that. I understand the painstaking efforts of Patriarch Hiiragi. I will introduce you to my younger sister when I have the chance." Kamisato Ayato's words were full of leisure, and he and the other two Patriarchs created a very harmonious conversation, as if the three magistrates, as the general's right-hand men, should be united.

But whether it is the head of the Hiiragi family, Kamisato Ayato or Kujo Takayuki, they all have their own motives in their hearts. As the three magistrates are respectively in charge of the power of Inazuma, it is not a good thing for the rulers to have harmonious relations with each other. The same is true among the three magistrates. On the surface, they seem to be happy, but who knows how many traps are hidden underneath - after all, no one does not want to get greater power.

The Kamisato family, which is currently under management, has been in turmoil for a long time due to the sudden death of the previous head of the family. It was not until a few years ago that Kamisato Ayato, the eldest son, took over the management of the family that things gradually got better.

Compared with the Kamisato family, the Kujo family is the undisputed number one family under the shogun. This can be seen from Kujo Sara, who is not one of the three people summoned by the general this time. The surname of this military leader is also "Kujo".

It is precisely for this reason that the head of the Hiiragi family tolerates the head of the Kujo family. However, no matter which family it is, when facing the weakest society magistrate at present, they all have the idea of ​​eating this piece of "meat".

"In my opinion, it's Master Kamisato who needs to consider marriage more than Master Kamisato's sister." Master Kujo took the hand of Sara, who was standing aside, lost in thought, completely uninvolved in the conversation. "My daughter, Kujo Sara, is now of the right age. Although she's my adopted daughter, I love her even more than I do my own children. Sara is also very handsome, so it's a good opportunity for you two to get to know each other."

"Thank you for your kindness, Master Kujo, but..." Kamisato Ayato was about to refuse, but Sara was one step faster than her and immediately rejected Master Kujo's proposal.

"I'm sorry, I can't obey, father." Sara has been in the army for many years and has learned how to lead troops and fight wars since childhood. She is also very famous for her archery skills and magic as a member of the Crow Tengu clan. Her way of speaking is much more direct than the three heads of the family.

"I have pledged to devote my life to the General, and I have no intention of marrying."

"..." The head of the Kujo family fell into a brief silence upon hearing this, with a hint of embarrassment on his face. Seeing this, Kamisato Ayato took the opportunity to help him out.

"Such unwavering loyalty to the General is truly admirable. Master Kujo, your daughter is a role model for our generation. In terms of enlightenment, no one in the current Inazuma can match her."

"Haha, just as the head of the Kamisato family said, this time it is my fault for not thinking it through." The head of the Kujo family waved his sleeves and walked down the steps given by Kamisato Ayato. Seeing this, the head of the Hiiragi family also agreed, but there was some pleasure hidden in his eyes at this time.

"Thank you for your praise. We are all believers of the General, and this is nothing to be proud of." Kujo Sara bowed to Kamisato Ayato, and then bowed to the heads of the Kujo and Hiiragi families, and left first, saying that he had some important matters to attend to.

"I should also start planning the construction of the Thousand-Armed and Hundred-Eyed Statue, so I'll take my leave first." Kamisato Ayato saluted the two family heads and left the castle tower with their promise of "just let me know if you have any trouble."

As for whether the promises made by these two people are reliable...haha, I'm afraid that after he asks for help, those people will directly stay in Kamisato's house and won't leave. By then, there will be endless troubles.

Kamisato Ayato walked all the way to the Kamisato family residence, saluted the guard in front of the gate and walked into the mansion. He came to Madarame Hyakubei, who was usually responsible for some important matters in the Kamisato family, and explained some things to him.

After doing all this, Kamisato Ayato walked into the living room of the main house. Only then did he put down all the burdens of being the head of the family and revealed a look of worry between his brows.

The Kamisato family was in decline, and the Hiiragi and Kujo families, who were in charge of the other two magistrates, naturally became greedy. The so-called marriage and help were just some means of reaching out to the magistrates. It was only because of the influence of the shogun that they did not dare to do it too directly.

As the current head of the Kamizato family, Kamizato Ayato has to be cautious again and again in the face of this situation, making the most of the current situation and buying as much time as possible for the Kamizato family to revive.

"When did I make my brother so upset?" Kamisato Ayaka, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and was always known as the "White Egret Princess" in Inazuma, showed the excellent upbringing of the Kamisato family in her every move and walked slowly towards her brother.

"It's Linghua." Seeing Linghua coming, Lingren smiled from the heart, and the sadness between his brows disappeared.

"I heard from the servants at home that my elder brother was summoned by the general. Could it be that this time it's about the general?" Linghua sat at the low table in the living room, preparing tea for her brother. Upon hearing this, Lingren also sat down and sighed deeply.

"As a subject of Inazuma, serving the general, I shouldn't have questioned his plans. However, the order issued by the general this time is truly bizarre." Ayato observed Ayaka's impeccable tea-making process and paused for a moment before speaking again: "General, seal off Inazuma and deny all contact with the outside world."

"......!" Linghua's action of pouring tea paused. This extremely rare loss of composure was the proof that she was greatly shocked. She recovered the next moment and poured the cup of tea for Lingren.

Lingren picked up the teacup, blew on it gently, and took a small sip: "Linghua, your tea-making skills have improved a lot."

"...Thank you for the compliment, brother." Linghua obviously didn't have the ability to remain calm even when a mountain collapsed before her eyes like Lingren. Her words were filled with deep sorrow.

She had no idea why the general had issued such an order to close the country to the outside world, which would undoubtedly have a great impact on Inazuma's current stability.

Kamisato Ayato looked at Ayaka in front of him while drinking tea. Just like Ayaka's tea-making skills, she also had the ability as an heir, and was no longer the person who needed his comfort and care.

"Ayahua, you said before that you are capable of sharing my worries. It's time to take over some of the housework in the Kamisato family, right?" During the conversation, a complex emotion of worry, pride, a sense of indebtedness and other complex emotions flashed in Kamisato Ayato's eyes. These emotions were gathered together in the blink of an eye.

"Yes, brother." Upon hearing this, Linghua sat up straighter and waited for Lingren's next words.

"Linghua, the General's current decision will inevitably cause unrest among the people of Inazuma. I need you to organize a team to appease the people."

"I will definitely live up to your mission, brother." Linghua responded solemnly. Lingren breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. He looked in the direction of the tower in front of the tower.

The Shogun ordered the shrine to build a huge stone statue called the "Thousand-armed Hundred-eyed God Statue". Once the statue is completed, a policy called the "Eye Hunting Order" will be implemented by the Tenryo Bugyo. At that time, all the divine eyes in Inazuma will be confiscated and embedded in the Thousand-armed Hundred-eyed God Statue.

As ruling officials, their Eyes of God can be temporarily spared from being confiscated. Kamisato Ayato does not know the purpose of the Shogun's action. This will obviously cause a lot of turmoil, but as a subordinate, he has no way to do anything.

"Is it all just... one step at a time?"

Chapter 13: Wadiye's Retirement

In a corner of the Chi Nian clan, there is a three-story building consisting of small rooms. In addition, there is a large yard with some flowers, trees, vegetables, and some fruits planted in the yard.

On weekdays, this is probably the place with the most children, because it is an orphanage, an institution for adopting orphans that was established and managed by Wadiye a few years ago.

Wadiye and several old friends who have the same idea of ​​retirement are responsible for taking care of the children here. People often donate money here, such as Kusela, Dishia, Amber, and Wadiye's son Mudra.

Wadiye was lying on a lounge chair in the yard, enjoying the coolness brought by the shade of the trees and the peacefulness of the present time. The children beside him were playing with each other. Thanks to the existence of the Wadiye sanatorium, the children here were living well, and many of them would be adopted by caring people.

In the Chi Nian clan, all children need to receive two years of basic education, where they learn to read and write, basic arithmetic and other basic knowledge. After that, if they are willing, they can learn what they want to learn. Most of the children of the Sand People are precocious, and many of them will think about their future early. Many children will take the initiative to learn some skills that will allow them to make a living in the future. Some will often go to the library to study so that they can enter the School of Religion for further studies in the future.

Today is Sunday, a day of rest. This day of the week is often the happiest day for children of school age to play. Many children who do not live in welfare homes or who used to live in welfare homes also gather here, such as Jie De and Xiao Kui.

"Hehe~ Sit down nicely, or I won't tell you anymore--" In the shade provided by the house, Jade held a storybook in her hand. It was a birthday gift given to her by Amber two years ago. It was a storybook from the forest called "The Big Villain". It was said that it was written by a reformed scholar with a slight change in his own experience. It is a rare fantasy adventure story from the perspective of a villain. The plot is ups and downs and fascinating. The discussion of the decree and the confession of one's own crimes have established the status of this book.

Most of the children here were younger than Jade or of similar age. Following Xiaokui's guidance, they quickly took their own small stools and sat down around Jade. Xiaokui also sat aside and looked at Jade with interest, waiting for the story to begin.

Xiaokui was a child brought by Dixia and handed over to Wadiye a few years ago. She was practical, capable and gentle. Although she was only 13 years old, she already had a motherly warmth. Jade blushed a little under Xiaokui's gaze. She coughed twice and covered her face with a book, quickly suppressing the throbbing in her heart.

Jade simply couldn't...refuse this lovely girl who was two or three years older than her and had a gentle temperament!

Whether it was her charming eyes as clear as water waves, her moist lips, her slightly chubby cheeks, or the single ponytail that passed through her right shoulder and rested on her chest, all of these were so attractive in Jade's eyes, especially since Xiaokui was looking at her with a smile.

In fact, looks like Xiaokui's are more in line with the aesthetics of the rainforest, while girls like Jade who are strong, energetic, and have beautiful faces are more beautiful in the desert.

"Huh - I'm starting to tell the story." Jade took several deep breaths in succession, glanced at Xiaokui who was smiling gently, opened the cover of the book, and slowly began to tell the story in the book.

The story begins with a scholar who violated a religious decree. Fearing punishment, he fled in a hurry, but was chased by a high-ranking disciplinary officer. In a panic, he ran to the desert, came to the "deadly sea of ​​sand", and encountered a dangerous sandstorm.

In a panic, the scholar slipped and fell down the rock wall, and was about to fall into the quicksand below, but was rescued by the Grand Disciplinary Officer. As the scholar asked, "Why do you want to save a sinner like me? Don't I deserve to die? It is meaningless to rescue me, isn't it?" The Grand Disciplinary Officer gave a resounding response: "Only the Faith can judge you, and my duty is to bring you back to the Faith for judgment. Before that, don't even think about ending your life." The prologue of the story ended from then on.

Jade then turned the page. The prologue alone described the deadly sea of ​​sand and the magnificent yet murderous sandstorm in a very attractive way. This wonderful adventure completely captured the hearts of the children present, and their eyes were full of excitement.

Jade was very proud of this for a moment. She had a similar expression when she first saw this place. Although her aunt finally told her that the deadly sea of ​​sand did not exist, sandstorms were indeed dangerous.

Jade took the opportunity to glance at Xiaokui during the break of the story, but Xiaokui just maintained that gentle smile and looked at the children around her and at Jade. Jade did not see Xiaokui's attracted expression as she had imagined, but she was not discouraged, because there would be more exciting stories to come!

Wadiye turned his head, and the smile on his face was actually a bit kind. He was nearly fifty years old and his hair had turned a lot whiter, but his mentality was much better than before. He was away from the competition for interests in the business world and was able to enjoy peace and tranquility in the new city surrounded by the people of the sand - yes, a city. In Wadiye's view, the Chinanian clan at this time was already a new city in the desert, and probably the only city. With the subsequent construction, this place would only become more prosperous until it was comparable to Xumi City.

"You have a very leisurely life now, Wadiye." A woman in a Fontaine formal dress walked into the welfare home, with a white elf sitting on her shoulder. Amber had a moment of free time, so she came to see Wadiye on a whim.

"Lord God's Messenger." Wadiye sat up upon seeing this and nodded to Amber with a smile. They were old acquaintances, so there was no need for any false formalities. Wadiye was already forty-six years old, while Amber was twenty-six. Her temperament had settled down and she had a mature air. Such a person would make people subconsciously feel reliable and therefore attracted to her.

"If it were me, I probably wouldn't be so leisurely. I can't handle children." Ah Ji crossed her arms and said something. A magical creature like her with some "dreamy" feeling would always attract the curiosity of children, and children would sometimes use force without restraint. Ah Ji didn't like children very much in the first place, and now she disliked them even more.

Well... maybe I can still tolerate a girl like little Jade who is well-behaved and cute.

"At first, I just didn't want the children to suffer the same miserable childhood as our generation, and before I knew it, I had reached this point." Wadiye was quite emotional. He looked at the children gathered together to listen to Jade's story, as if they were looking at something precious.

"Thanks to the help of the Messenger of God, Dixia and a group of kind-hearted people in the past few years, the welfare home has been able to operate safely." Wadiye's eyes flashed with reminiscence. He remembered that when the welfare home was first established, some irresponsible people actually threw unwanted children directly at the door of the welfare home. The rapidly gathered orphans added a lot of pressure to the operation of the welfare home.

At that time, it was Amber who contacted the Chi Nian Foundation and used some of her own savings to get through it. After discovering the problem, Amber immediately carried out ideological education, established a good moral standard for the people of the Sand, and strengthened supervision. This was considered to stop the chaos. Now, as life has improved, the moral level of the people of the Sand has also greatly improved. On the contrary, many children in the welfare home have been adopted and become members of the Sand People's families.

"I still remember that Amber wrote a book at that time, a book called 'Children of Sand', which seems to have become a classic now?" Aji said with a hint of joking. Amber nodded helplessly when she heard it.

Just as Ah Ji said, Amber, with mixed emotions at the time, contacted the Chi Nian Foundation, and followed the rare impulse in her heart to use the scattered time within a month to write a book. It tells the story of a child who has been lonely since childhood, from being full of hope at the beginning to hitting the wall several times as he grew up, being hurt badly, and falling below the bottom line again and again in order to survive in the cruel reality of the desert, and finally becoming the leader of a brigade that would do anything for Mora, and died from a fall during a raid by the disciplinary officers.

This is a complete tragedy, which builds up the image of a likable, lonely but hopeful child, but then destroys it. He finally looks back on his life while falling and finds his original pursuit, but he can no longer turn back. The souls he killed are standing on the ground where he is about to fall, thirsting for his blood and thirsting for his death.

This is a very realistic story, so realistic that it seems as if such a person really existed and disappeared without the knowledge of most people. This is also a very rare "accusation" by Amber, who "shouts" through this book and this tragedy. As soon as this book was introduced into the rainforest, it received a lot of responses. The example of how the environment changes a person is thought-provoking. It was officially listed as a classic a year ago and even sold to other countries, and received good reviews everywhere.

The amount of Mora earned from this book was beyond imagination. The profits it brought were also attributed to the Chi Nian Foundation and managed by the highly respected Gler. At that time, the Steam Bird News even conducted an exclusive interview with Amber. Amber has left a significant mark in the field of literature.

"Speaking of writing books, aren't you writing one too?" Amber pinched Aji's face unhappily, causing Aji to express dissatisfaction.

But Aji did not refuse the idea of ​​writing a book. Now that everything was on track, Aji was usually very free, so he simply used his ability as a former historian to record the history of the current desert and the story of Amber.

It can be considered as a way to kill time.

Chapter 14: Similar Abilities

Jade was so focused on telling the story and paying attention to Xiaokui that she didn't even notice her aunt had come. The other children were also focused on the story. Only Xiaokui noticed Amber's arrival and glanced at Amber who was chatting with Wadiye.

Wadiye's gaze swept across the children gathered together, and when his gaze stopped at Xiaokui, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

"Many children of the right age have been accepted and found suitable positions. For example, the strong boys have been recruited by patrols and will become official members of the Shield of Ahmar after training. The girls are mostly engaged in production. Some talented ones have been properly placed, and those with their own ideas are developing in the direction they want." Wadiye said slowly, "But Xiaokui wants to stay in this orphanage and help us take care of the adopted homeless children."

"Isn't it good? There is a child who is grateful and wants to help you share your worries." There was a smile in Amber's eyes. Wadiye just shook his head when he saw it.

"It's enough for my old friends and I to handle these tasks. Xiaokui is very talented, a quick learner and very caring. She can see through the children's minds at a glance, and is therefore very popular with them. Sometimes I even feel like she can see through my thoughts, just like she can see through you."

Wadiye looked into Amber's eyes, his words sincere and without a trace of deception. "A child like this should pursue great things, not waste her talent and prime years on me. It's just that since it's her own pursuit, I can't say anything."

Wadiye seemed to be very optimistic about Xiaokui in his words, but he was also distressed by Xiaokui's rather indifferent attitude. His description of "being able to see through people's hearts" aroused Amber's curiosity. She turned her gaze to Xiaokui who was sitting among the children and looked at her for a moment.

There are many rumors about the Red King's Messenger in the desert now. One of them is "Don't lie to the Messenger of God", because the Messenger of God has eyes that can see through people's hearts. All secrets are exposed in front of her, and those who try to play tricks will not have a good end.

This rumor has a basis in fact. Amber can perceive a person's current state and emotions by sensing the "rhythm" of the person. Combined with her increasingly rich experience, this is equivalent to a low-end mind-reading skill.

Amber never thought that there would be someone with similar abilities as herself. When she looked at Xiaokui, a strange reaction occurred. She felt like she was being "spied on" and at the same time, she also sensed Xiaokui's emotions.

It was a wonderful white formed by a mixture of many colors. Amber didn't know how to describe this situation, but she felt a wonderful "resonance", as if the person in front of her had similar pursuits as herself, and was concerned about the land under her feet, hoping that it could become a better resonance.

"Wadiye, please call Xiaokui over." In the end, Xiaokui avoided her gaze first. Amber's mouth corners rose unconsciously. She just felt that this must be a destined meeting. She wanted to confirm the child's character and ability.

Wadiye looked at Amber, then at Xiaokui, and stood up.

"Xiao Kui, come here, I want to ask you some questions--!" Wadiye shouted to Xiao Kui. Xiao Kui seemed to have prepared herself mentally. As soon as Wadiye finished speaking, she stood up and approached Amber.

"...Hmm." Jade then realized that her aunt had come over. Although she didn't know why Xiaokui was called over, her aunt would not make things difficult for Xiaokui. But now that Xiaokui was not there, Jade's desire to tell a story was a little weaker.

In order not to disappoint these expectant children, Jade paused for a moment before speaking again. While she was telling the story, she occasionally glanced in the direction of Xiaokui.

Xiao Kui came in front of Wadiye, and Wadiye solemnly introduced Amber to Xiao Kui. Because Amber was very busy on weekdays and Xiao Kui seldom went out, they had never met like today. After Wadiye finished speaking, Xiao Kui bowed to Amber solemnly.

Xiaokui is 13 years old this year. Girls develop earlier. Her height has reached over 20 meters, just cm shorter than Amber. At that moment, the two looked at each other and remained silent.

"I haven't seen you often. I heard from Wadiye that it was Dishiya who brought you here?" Amber tried to bring up the topic, and Xiaokui responded.

"Yes, it was Sister Dixia who brought me here. At that time, the welfare home had not been built yet, so I lived with the director uncle for a while." The director uncle Xiaokui mentioned was Wadiye, and Dixia, who brought her here, had grown into a big girl. In the aesthetics of the desert people, she was a standard beauty, and she had made a name for herself in the mercenary circle in recent years.

The famous "Red-Maned Lion" Dishia is beautiful and powerful, and is also famous for her loyalty. She is arguably the most dazzling one among the current Blazing Hunters.
