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

Amber specially brought two folding stools, and she and Nashida sat in a good position, where they could clearly see the performance on the stage.

Nashida watched the performance on the stage, and Amber looked at Nashida from time to time. Nashida's eyes were shining brightly at this time. The script she wrote was being performed on the stage. The actors performed very hard and seriously, and the audience in the audience was also very attentive. The recognition of the work brought her the joy of a good harvest.

Amber's lips curled up slightly. Happiness is contagious. It's good that such a pure being as Nashida is filled with high-spirited positive emotions at this moment.

"...I know." It was Nilu's first time on stage, but after two months of practice, she did not behave like a novice at all. She obviously understood the role deeply, and with just a few words, she portrayed the character's inner entanglement and struggle vividly.

In Amber's writing, the protagonist is a lonely orphan living in the desert. His life is hard, but he is very optimistic and likes to plan various goals for himself. He calls these goals "dreams", which can be as small as finding a natural straight branch or as big as earning a lot of Mora and traveling far away with the people he cares about to live a peaceful life.

He heard the word "dream" by accident. He felt that this word was very warm. It is difficult for people to live without support. What supported the young man were the various "dreams" he set for himself.

What is being shown on the stage right now is that the 12-year-old protagonist is facing the first choice in his life. The two elderly people who adopted him are no longer able to take care of him. He must stand up as the only pillar of the family and fight for a way out.

"Okay, we will only stay here for three days. If you can show enough 'sincerity' within these three days, we will take you with us." After the team member finished speaking, he let out a few sarcastic laughs. He obviously didn't think that this kid could really meet the requirements to join the brigade.

Faced with such obvious ridicule, the protagonist gritted his teeth and left this place. As the protagonist walked, the scene changed and came to the protagonist's home.

This is a family whose difficulties can be seen at a glance - there is no need to express it in words. The two elderly people who raised the protagonists were wearing patched clothes that had faded and looked gray.

At this time, the color tone of the stage is not as bright as the previous scene, but much darker. This is also to highlight the current tone. The protagonist walks forward and holds the hands of the two old people, comforting their hearts with white lies. Although the family is so poor, there is still a bright light in the eyes of the old people. When they heard that their adopted son had found a job, they frequently reminded them to be careful. This scene that fully displayed the warmth of home also resonated with the audience.

Home is a soft harbor. It may not be big, and it may not be luxurious, but it carries many memories of a person. With a home, a person will always have "roots". No matter where he goes, he knows that there is a place to return to that can accept him. It is the "final destination" and also the "home".

The previous performances had never explained the meaning of "sincerity", but the protagonist's next play showed the audience what the so-called sincerity was. The protagonist picked up a rusty dagger, sharpened it well, and used it to commit the first crime.

After an attack, the young man stood beside the fallen corpse, looking up at the sky. His previous wonderful sword dance conquered the hearts of all the audience. At this moment, you could hear a pin drop. This quiet scene best highlights the expressiveness of the picture.

The singing voice came out from Nilu's mouth. The voice seemed trembling, a little hoarse, and even had an unnoticeable cry. At first, there was no accompaniment, only the human voice singing.

This is the first song composed by Nashida, titled "Confused". Before this, the image of a young man who has many dreams and is full of hope for life despite living a difficult life has been well established. This song indicates the beginning of the young man's downfall.

The singing voice gradually spreads out like a mist, and after the prelude, music is added. The low voice accompanies the singing voice, conveying the emotions that the author wants to express.

Nilu was very involved in the performance. She entered a very wonderful state for a while. Through her performance and singing, she seemed to be connected with the hearts of the audience. She could feel the audience's involvement, and her body seemed to be driven by the drama to continue the performance.

Some water light appeared under the lights, emitting a dreamy glow, so dazzling, but also so fragile, just like the unrealistic dream of the young man. This scene aroused the resonance of the audience below the stage. No one made even the slightest sound, they appreciated it all.

Killing was not intentional, it was something he had to do in order to survive, but sin is sin, it will not change for any reason. The seed of sin was planted in the boy's heart, heralding the beginning of suffering.

As the boy was accepted, the first scene came to an end and Nilu returned to the backstage.

She was led by her master to sit on a chair. The continuous performance for more than an hour was really hard for this girl, but Nilu seemed to be unaware of the physical pain. She was gasping for breath and seemed unable to get out of her previous state.

Nilu practiced for two months for this play and worked hard for nearly two years for her first performance. She couldn't help but recall the "accident" that led her to this path: the chance encounter with her master, the hand she extended to her, and the question, "Will you dance with me in the future?"

Perhaps, going on stage like today and performing for the audience is exactly what she wants. Although it is difficult for Nilu to describe it all in words, her heart has already made a "decision".

There was only a ten-minute break between the second and first scenes. As the curtain was opened again, Master Nilu, who played the young protagonist, also came on stage. The opening was still a plot that quickly explained the current situation. At this time, the young man had already given up a lot of things. He learned from his companions in the brigade to rob. His life gradually became better, but his heart was bleeding. In essence, he was still the same boy at the beginning. The reality that was so different from his ideal was still tormenting him.

This brigade is full of bastards with no bottom line, but ironically they live a very free and easy life, without any worries, and without having to worry about food and clothing.

The young man took advantage of a free time to temporarily leave and planned to go back to visit his grandparents. He specially bought some snacks that they could never eat before, but after the door was pushed open, all he saw were dusty and shabby furniture. The two short tombstones without tombstones behind the window silently told something.

The young man learned the truth from his neighbor. Someone claiming to be his enemy came after the two old men and they died on that day. A month had passed, and he had no idea about it.

The son wants to support his parents but they are no longer around. The unforgettable pain floods into the young man's mind, along with "hatred".

This was probably the protagonist's first time to go on a killing spree, and it was also one of the most expressive sword dance scenes in the whole film. The young man seemed very crazy in the battle, and the killing came to an end in the flash of swords and blood. Seven scars were left on his body that night. That night he personally killed seventeen enemies, including his enemies.

Carrying the heart of his enemy, the young man went to offer sacrifice to the two old men, and a hoarse singing voice was heard. This was the second song written by Nashida, named "Destruction".

The young man always felt that he was different from other people of the Sand. He held on to his bottom line, believing that he was by no means a barbaric and bloodthirsty person, and that everything he did was helpless - he comforted himself with these, but this fantasy was shattered today.

He found that he was no different from ordinary people of the sand. The numb, day-to-day, and heartless members of the brigade had once had similar years as him, but without exception, those things were erased by reality and buried in the cruel yellow sand.

But the members who buried those people lived much better and more easily. The young man who made such achievements was immediately reused and was given a nickname by his brothers in the group - "Red Eagle".

The young man once again threw away a lot of things. Having lost his worries, he seemed to have lost all his weaknesses, and his soul as well. No matter what stood in his way, it could not affect his ability to draw his sword. He worked his way up to the position of deputy in the regiment and made a great name for himself.

Everything was going for the better, but everything was also going for the worse. The young man hid his heart tightly, but he lived a good life, better than ever before.

"Hello, Brother Chiji, I'm a new member and I've always admired you!" The boy, who was still a little childish, greeted the young man under the shove of the people around him. When the group heard that the boy regarded Chiji as his idol, they wanted to see his performance.

"..." The young man just pushed the boy away and walked away silently. The boy's clear eyes made him feel dazzling, and he always felt that he saw his past self.

——And this is the "reunion" between youth and the past.

The boy was not discouraged by being pushed away. He always showed great energy and followed the young man's footsteps. Gradually, the young man acquiesced to his following. In the fog, a new light seemed to appear.

But fate did not favor the young man, and the desert did not allow him to find peace. The third fall fell -

"Brother Chiji...ha...I feel so much pain...Am I going to die...?" An arrow pierced the boy's chest, and the young man could only watch it all helplessly.

The enemy brigade launched an attack on them. The boy blocked an arrow for the young man, and the young man could only watch the young man's death. The song with the shouts and screams as the background was full of despair. This was the young man's third fall. Nashida called the song she composed: "Dead End".

The boy is like the youth's past, he is like a "savior" who reaches out to the youth, or perhaps he is the angel sent by God who cannot bear to see all this, but even the angel can't do anything about such a cruel reality, so he returns to the sky.

The third fall, straight to the bottom of the abyss, the young man no longer desired anything, his heart was sealed by the dust, and he just clenched the blade in his hand.

The following sword dance was the most exciting one in the whole play. The young man swept away the enemy group with unparalleled force and took the position of leader. He sat upright on the gorgeous chair, and those who declared their submission prostrated themselves in front of him and kissed the back of his hand. The young man reached such a high position, but there was no light in his eyes.

The young man truly understood the true meaning of the desert. No flowers of civilization could bloom in such a barbaric place. People living here had only two choices: surrender to the desert or embrace death.

With that ruthless style, the young man led the brigade all the way to the pinnacle, but how could such a dangerous thief be allowed to exist? The three great disciplinary officers joined forces, leading many disciplinary officers in a surprise attack one night. The flames set the entire camp ablaze, and the night was as bright as day.

The young man stood on the top of the cliff, watching all this. The disciplinary officer had already come behind him, and it was too late to save the situation.

"You sinner, Chiji, have led a group of bandits to repeatedly harass surrounding caravans. Countless innocent people have died at your hands. Today is the day you will be judged!"

The spear clashed with the blade, but at this point, how could the young man possibly be a match for the great disciplinary officer? The spear pierced the young man's body, and he fell off the cliff.

The strong wind caused by the fall blew past the young man's ears, and the firelight illuminated the sky. He then realized that the stars tonight were very bright, just like the ones he saw when he was young, when he still had hope and dreams.

But everything is irreversible. The souls of the dead are waiting for him. The souls of the people he killed are waiting for him on the ground, waiting for him to fall heavily, waiting for him to go straight to hell.

"Bang!" A dull falling sound was heard, and this one seemed to hit the hearts of the audience. This was a complete tragedy. The audience who watched all this in the whole process opened their eyes wide, feeling depressed in their hearts, not knowing what to feel.

A faint singing voice was heard. This was a song without any instrumental accompaniment. It was soft like a lullaby, or like a breeze caressing the cheek. It was a mourning in the form of a song. This was the only song in the entire structure that Amber participated in creating, and it was named "Requiem".

This quiet song forms a subtle resonance with the melancholy that comes after watching the entire opera, leading the viewer's thoughts to distant places.

"How does it feel?" Amber gently stroked Nashida's head.

"I feel... so excited that my work has been recognized." Nashida could clearly feel the audience's emotions. The two of them, the actors, and even the logistics staff had completed this play together. From the beginning until now, few audience members had left. The entire five-hour script was taken in by them from beginning to end without any omissions - this was the most direct affirmation.

"Remember how you feel at this moment, Nashida. This is an important step for you to understand humans." Amber's voice was soft and long. She took Nashida's hand and walked to the back of the stage. The performance was over, and it was time to reward the actors.

As for how this opera later spread to Fontaine and other countries, that is a story for another time.

Chapter 55: Dream

"Father, everything is ready here!" In the Chi Nian clan, Jade reported her work to Gabriel. After returning to the Chi Nian clan, Gabriel took up the management of the library again, and occasionally took on some commissions as an adventurer.

It is Labor Day this year. Before the banquet in the evening, we need to prepare enough tables, chairs and various facilities in the square. In recent years, as life has become better and better, the arrangements in this regard have gradually become richer.

"Well, then there's nothing to do. Go play." Gabriel patted Jade's shoulder, watched Jade run towards Xiaokui, and shook his head helplessly.

"What's wrong? You look so dull." The woman with short black hair came to Gabriel, with a white town spirit sitting on her shoulder. In previous years, she would be busy on Labor Day, but this year was an exception.

Yi is in charge of the clan's management, and this year's festival arrangements are handed over to Xiaokui for overall planning. Xiaokui is only 14 years old, but he is able to organize the arrangements in an orderly manner, which is very rare.

"It's nothing, I'm just sighing that girls grow up and cannot be kept at home. Jade is no longer the noisy kid she used to be." Gabriel sighed and looked at Amber.

After nearly a year of studying at the Academy of Teachings, Amber rushed back to the Chi Nian Clan yesterday, and will leave again tomorrow. The reason she gave was that her research on the origin of the Dead Zone is still ongoing, and it has not been easy to squeeze out some time to return to the Chi Nian Clan recently.

"Speaking of which, there's a scholar from the Sand People who's become quite famous in the House of Lords recently. Did you arrange for him?" Gabriel asked Amber curiously, and Amber nodded.

"I met Nephi on my way to research the Dead Zone. She was very talented, so I sent her over there. I didn't expect her to be so talented."

"If you go to the House of the Order, your achievements will definitely be higher than Nefe's." Gabriel joked. He has learned how to make jokes now.

"I have important things to do, why go to the House of Lords?" Amber waved her hand. She had hidden her whereabouts very well. Now no one except Aji, Azar and Tartaglia should know about it. The executive officer was quite good at keeping his promise. He really didn't report when he said he would.

This time, she took the opportunity of going out for research to return to the clan. She still had to go to an appointment after Labor Day. This invitation was not ordinary. The one who invited her was Tianquan Star, one of the seven stars of Liyue. Amber was not sure why she was invited there, but she had to go out of respect.

"Well, it's a rare opportunity for us to come back, so let's enjoy the festival." Gabriel smiled, feeling the high spirits in the clan. Amber had just come back from outside, so it would be better for her to walk around and take a look around. As a messenger of God, she was always busy, and now that she had some free time, she had to take a rest.

"Yeah." Amber didn't refuse and walked slowly away.

……

"You must get out of the project team! I will never allow you to touch the Casazale Palace again!"

Between the Xumi Rainforest, the Dense Forest and the Mushroom Cave, there is a small piece of land next to the river and the pond. This piece of land belongs to the Casazalai Caravan, or to be more precise, to Master Sangge Mahadoi. She has recently made a fortune through date wine and cross-border trade, and it is time to build a storefront for the Casazalai Caravan. However, she is different from ordinary wealthy businessmen, so in order to distinguish herself, this storefront must be large and luxurious enough.

"Master Sangge Mahabayi, the incident in the Death Zone was a complete accident! This is something none of us want to see. Please give me five days, no, three days! I will make new plans immediately, and there will definitely be no problems this time!" The handsome blond man looked nervous. Facing Dolly, who was much shorter than him, he was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of momentum.

The blond man was Kavi, a graduate of the Myo-ron school from the House of Lords three years prior. He was considered the "star of the Myo-ron school" and was as famous as a certain clerk. After graduation, he had worked under his mentor's project team for two full years. After accumulating enough experience, he decisively withdrew from the project team. After designing and building a number of buildings, he gained some reputation. At this time, he happened to meet Dolly, who came to invite him to be responsible for the design of the Casazzale Palace.

Kavi has always been a man obsessed with ideals and art. He often seems out of tune with this realistic academic city. His previous work always had to take various conditions into consideration, but this time it was different. Dolly had only two requirements: big and luxurious.

Kavi thought this was an opportunity, a chance to show his artistic pursuit and ideals, and he must design a stunning palace!

"You said you wanted me to give you some more time? I could have repeatedly refused you to build a house on that cliff! It was you who insisted on having your own way, which caused me to suffer such a huge loss! All the money invested now has gone down the drain. Even if I don't pursue it, how can the project continue? If we have to rebuild, who will be responsible for the losses?" Dolly was furious at Kavi's words, but Kavi couldn't say a word in the face of Dolly's anger.

He looked in the direction Dolly pointed. There should have been the half-built Casazale Palace, but now it has become a complete ruin due to the rapid spread of the dead zone.

In order to make this mansion immortal, Kavi tried his best and took everything into consideration, but he failed to consider that the spread of the dead zone had suddenly accelerated recently. Although the dead zone has been cleared by the forest rangers, the loss is irreversible.

"I will not give this job to you again! You must bear the losses caused by your willful behavior!" Dolly gritted her teeth and said the last two sentences. She turned around and left here angrily. The followers who came with Dolly shook their heads when they saw this, and followed Dolly without saying anything.

Kavi stared at the direction Dolly had left for a long time without saying a word. It was he who had tried his best to persuade Dolly to change the location to the cliff so that Dolly could see the stunning view here every morning when she opened the window. He also signed a letter of responsibility for this, and the losses caused now would undoubtedly be borne by him.

Kavi came to a high place and sat down, looking at the ruins below him. It was already dark, but he had no intention of going home - that place was no longer his home, but just an empty house.

Kavi was born into a typical family of Sumerian scholars. His father was a member of the Myo-ryū school and served in the Gāthāna. His mother, a graduate of the Myo-ryū school, was also a renowned architect, much like Kavi himself. Influenced by his parents, Kavi displayed a keen interest in architecture from an early age.

But the good times did not last long. When Kavey was still a teenager, his father, at his encouragement and request, participated in the college championship held by the House of Lords. The competition was not complicated, and Kavey's father was also recognized as a favorite to win the championship. But when the final results came out, he unfortunately missed the championship and disappeared for a while after the game.

The bad news soon came. Kavi's father met with an accident in the desert and died unfortunately. This sudden news plunged the mother and son into complete confusion. Kavi's mother was born sensitive, and she was devastated by this incident and was deeply depressed and anxious for a long time.

Every time Kavi closed his eyes, he would dream of the joke his father made before he left and his promise to bring him back some good things to see. Young Kavi suddenly realized that if he had not mentioned this matter, his father would not have gone to the competition, would not have ventured into the desert after the competition because of the promise before leaving, and would not have encountered an accident. The heart of a child is so sensitive that Kavi unconsciously blamed himself for the sin.

The mother never smiled again because of her husband's death, and the once warm home became deserted. Kavi's mother's talent seemed to disappear with her husband's death. She often sat in the living room, staring at her hands blankly, unable to draw anything, and had no ideas in her mind. Every time Kavi saw this, he felt like being pressed to the ground by an invisible big hand, and kept asking himself in his heart: If it weren't for him, how could this family become like this.

This situation changed when Kavi entered the Ordinary College. As the school started, the opportunities for mother and son to meet became fewer and fewer. Kavi's mother decided to go to Fontaine to relax. During this time, she received a job invitation from Fontaine and decided to leave Xumi for a long time. She told Kavi the news. Kavi knew that he would be completely lonely after his mother left, but he still agreed with his mother's idea and personally saw her off on the day she left.

Watching the ship sailing away, Kavi felt a strong reluctance to leave, but he also understood that it was better for his mother to leave the sad place. For his mother, he was unwilling to admit his loneliness. He still remembered that time when he repeatedly promised his mother that when he grew up, he would definitely be able to live on his own - he believed that it was he who caused all this and destroyed his mother's happiness. What qualifications did he have to interfere with his mother's pursuit of happiness?

As for the deep loneliness he felt every time he returned home, it must be God's punishment for him, a punishment for the sinner who harmed his father and mother.

Kavi still remembers that before he took on this job, he received a letter from his mother. In the letter, his mother nervously told him that she had found someone to entrust the rest of her life to and planned to remarry in Fontaine. Kavi wrote back and sincerely wished his mother new happiness. He also set off for Fontaine to attend his mother's wedding. Seeing his mother's smile that had disappeared for a long time on the wedding road, Kavi was happy at first, but then felt at a loss.

All the property his mother owned in Xumi was left to Kavi. Three days later, Kavi returned to Xumi and sat in his former "home". Just lying on the sofa, he felt endless loneliness.

The feeling of guilt never left Kavi like a leech. Looking back on his past life, he felt that it was meaningless. The art and ideals he upheld were worthless in this Xumi City. This was a great opportunity but he messed it up. He had previously invested all his energy in the Casazale Palace. He had never felt as relaxed as when he was building the Casazale Palace, as if everything was left behind, and the sense of "realizing his life ideals" was firmly in his hands.

He still had some savings and the house his mother left him. It used to be their home, but now it was just an empty building. If he sold it, he could probably make up for 70% of Dolly's loss. If he added his savings to it, he could make up for 90% - but Kavi didn't want to give up like that.

Casazzale Palace is the result of all his efforts and the embodiment of his ideals. He does not want to give up like this. His past life was meaningless, and he does not want his future life to continue in such a meaningless way.

Chapter 56: Scholars and Businessmen

"Mr. Kavi, are you sure you want to exchange your assets for Mora? You cannot go back on your word once you sign the contract, so I hope you will consider it carefully." The employee of the exchange looked at Kavi holding the title deed and gave a routine warning. Kavi took a deep breath and handed the title deed to the employee.

"yes, I'm sure."

"Then please sign here. Our staff will arrive to take over the house in seven working days, and Mora will transfer the money to your account within two working days."

Kavi signed his name under the watchful eyes of the staff, and with the final stroke of the pen, the ownership of the house officially left his hands. Coincidentally, if it were normal to handle this kind of business, it would take at least several days, but with the recent frequent business, Kavi only took one morning.

He could stay there for another seven days, after which the house and everything in it would no longer belong to him. In order to raise as much Mora as possible, he would sell the furniture in the house as well.

Kavi took a step forward, he still needed to take care of one last thing.

He came to a private room in the tavern, opened the door, and saw Master Sangge Mahabayi sitting in the room.

"Why do you insist on seeing me again? I won't go easy on you on compensation. You must bear the losses caused by your willful behavior."

"Master Sangge Mahabayi, I calculated the assets I have. According to the losses this time, the Mora I own can probably make up for 90% of them." Kavira opened a chair and sat down. Although he said these words, his expression was extremely calm.

"So what? I won't pay for your mistakes." Dolly's anger was still not completely eliminated. She looked at Kavi, but Kavi just looked out the window.

Outside the window is Baoshang Street, which is very lively with people coming and going.

"This university is always so realistic. I always feel that it cannot accommodate the brilliance of ideals. Perhaps one of the reasons why my mother left here was that the current Mount Sumeru could no longer accommodate her." Kavi picked up the coffee in front of him and took a small sip. He did not like such a bitter drink, but now he could not leave it.
