Chapter 458: Before Seeing God
Looking at the canned knowledge in front of her, Ying knew that she had come to the right place.
Her entanglement with the Fatui in Sumeru began with that batch of canned knowledge,
Now, finding a place where the Fatui make canned knowledge means that she is close to the truth.
"Traveler, I think you'd better take a look at that document first."
Tardella gestured to the canned knowledge document, as if she had read it.
Ying nodded, put away the long sword in her hand, and picked up the file.
She never thought that the moment she opened the document, she would be frightened by what was written on the document.
At the top of the document, there are four big characters,
γGod-making Projectγ
"Creating a !! God" Paimon flew to Ying's side, and when he saw the words on the document, he immediately exclaimed.
On the side, Dehya raised her eyebrows slightly: "What makes a god?" β
"The Fatui and the Great Sage have teamed up to create a new god!" Ying suppressed the fluctuations in her heart and spoke.
"God? Can it be manufactured? Dehya's eyes widened, and she looked frightened.
For Dehya,
Whether it is the Lord of the Red Sand or the Little Auspicious Grass King, they are all high up in the sky.
And now, on a document, it is actually written that the Fatui and the Great Sage are working together to create gods,
This had to shock her.
"Gods are nothing but powerful creatures, and nothing is remarkable."
In the corner on one side, the scholar, who had been trembling with intimidation, suddenly interjected.
"That's right, a strong body, a tough soul, and enough knowledge, as long as these three points are met, theoretically anyone can become a god-like existence."
A few scholars, your words, my words, seem to be very reasonable to pull the gods off the throne.
It's as if everyone has the potential to be that great being.
"Boom~"
A crunch,
It was Tadra who pulled the bowstring.
"Blasphemous, the greatness of the Lord of the Red Sands, how can you people speculate."
For Tadra, by lowering the personhood of the gods here, these scholars are blaspheming her lord and insulting the lord of the red sands.
"Wait, Tardela, these people are still useful, don't kill them yet."
Ying hurriedly stopped Tadela's movements,
These people are all witnesses, so it's a pity to kill them directly.
Leaving these people, whether they are witnesses or being dragged to labor camp when the time comes, is a good hand.
"Humph!"
Tadra snorted coldly, the great bow deflected, and the bowstring was released, and the steel arrow shot out in a hurry, bombarding an instrument on the side, exploding the instrument in an instant.
β.β
Several scholars glanced at each other, but finally did not say the price of the instrument.
They were afraid of being beaten again.
"You guys search again, I'll go out and send a signal to the tribesmen to come and clear this base."
Tadra put away his bow and walked out.
Such a large base,
Nature can't just give up,
Notify the people of the tribe, clean it up, take the valuable things away, and then transform this base into a station of the tribe, which is qualified for recycling.
After Tadra left,
Ying and Dehya interrogated the scholars again, and got a lot of information.
For example, the reason why the Great Sage started the God-making Project was because the Doctor brought a God's Heart.
For example, the wise man of the Fatui, who was once a Vault Dweller,
For example, the god-making project is actually about to be completed, and what accelerates this plan is the batch of canned knowledge that Ying was stolen by the Fatui.
"The Lord of the Red Sand is a very powerful being, his canned knowledge has greatly accelerated the progress of the plan, if you don't come today, in a few days, this place will be removed, because the plan is about to be completed."
So said the captured scholar.
Ying's face was ugly, and she felt that it was her own carelessness that led to all this.
If she hadn't been exchanged for that canned knowledge by the Fatui, the plan wouldn't have been completed so quickly.
For a moment, Ying felt that her responsibility was heavier.
Paimon knew everything, and when he saw that Ying's face was not good-looking, he immediately reacted that Ying was blaming himself.
The little guy flew to Ying's side, hugged Ying's arm, and comforted softly: "It's okay Ying, we'll solve these troubles." β
Paimon was hugged by his arm, and Ying reacted, patting Paimon lightly, signaling that he was fine.
"Ying, Paimon, I just checked it again, it's all instruments and canned knowledge, there shouldn't be anything else."
Dehya said, "Huh? Why is Paimon holding Ying, is he scared? β
Paimon blushed, "Not yet!" Paimon wouldn't be afraid. β
"Hahaha, huh?" Dehya laughed, then pointed behind Paimon, "Is the person behind you also your friend?" β
As soon as Dehya's words came out, Paimon's little face turned pale,
Where are there people in this place but them and the captives of the earth!
Ying shook her head helplessly, reaching out to hug Paimon, "Don't worry, Dehya is scaring you." β
"Hahahahahaha~"
The entire base reverberated with Dehya's laughter.
Until Tadra brought the people back, Dehya was still smiling.
"Huh? Did something happen? Why is Dehya smiling so happily? β
Dehya just wanted to speak,
Paimon reached out and covered her mouth.
"Nothing, nothing, Tardella is back so soon, I thought you would be a long time."
Paimon said to Tadra.
Tadra waved his hand: "It's not fast, this place itself is not a particularly remote place, these bad guys probably also refer to the terrain when choosing a place, and several trade routes are not far from here." β
"On the trade routes of the desert, there are always warriors patrolling the red sand, and as soon as I give the signal, they will come."
As he spoke, Tadra waved his hand at the warriors behind him: "Check here, take all the valuable things with you, these instruments may be expensive, and your hands and feet are light." β
"Got it, Captain Tadra."
The warriors of Chisha are no strangers to this kind of house-raiding operation,
They had done this work many times when Red Sands cleared the Fatui camp in the desert.
At that time, cleaning up the Fatui camp was also a big source of funding for Chisha.
Unfortunately, at one time, on the orders of the Doctor, the Fatui gradually withdrew from the desert.
Watching the warriors get busy,
Tardella turned his gaze to Ying and smiled: "Traveler, I remember that you came to the desert to ask for help from the great Lord of the Red Sands, it just so happened that this time a northerner base was wiped out, and I also want to return to the tribe to report on my work, do you want to go with me?" β
Ying's eyes lit up: "Is it okay?" β
Tadella smiled: "Haha, we have fought together, even if we are comrades-in-arms, of course we can." β
"Then it's decided, you can go back to the clan with us in a while."
As he spoke, Tadra pleased to Dehya, who was still smiling, "Dehya, as for Aarro's village, please talk to Candace." β
Dehya waved her hand: "No problem, you guys go, I'll talk to Candace over there." β
Nodding gratefully at Dehya, Ying looked at Tadra, "When are we leaving?" β
"Let's wait until everyone is done packing up."
Ying frowned slightly: "With so many things, can you get to your destination as soon as possible?" I'm in a hurry. β
Knowing from the scholar's mouth that the [God-making Project] was about to be completed, Ying couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Looking at Ying's anxious look, Tadella reached out and patted Ying's arm, and walked outside with Ying,
"Don't worry, we won't walk back this time, we have pack beasts."
Coming outside the base,
Ying was immediately attracted to attention,
Outside the small canyon,
Hundreds of pack beasts were waiting over there.
"This is?"
Ying really couldn't understand why there were so many pack beasts here.
"Haha, I said, the things in this base are valuable, and they have to be transported back to the tribe as soon as possible, and it just so happens that there are caravans passing by on the trade road here, and I directly requisitioned them."
"Requisition?" Hearing this, Paimon was a little puzzled, "Can Tadella actually requisition these caravans?" β
In Paimon's opinion, Tadra, a warrior of Chisha, although he is a captain, is not right to requisition an outside caravan.
"Haha, it's incredible." Tardella smiled, and there was great adoration in his eyes, "Because this is the desert." β
She looked at everything in front of her seriously, as if she was looking at some great existence,
"This is the desert, and everything in the desert belongs to the great Lord of the Red Sands."
"If a caravan wants to trade in Chisha, then it must obey the rules of Chisha."
"In Chisha's rules, when Chisha is fighting, anyone must unconditionally obey Chisha's dispatch, otherwise, Chisha will be directly regarded as an enemy."
"These caravans don't dare to resist me."
Looking at the smile on Tadela's face, Paimon patted his small chest, "That's too domineering, isn't it?" β
Unconditional obedience to Chisha's dispatch,
This kind of rule is simply outrageous.
Even Paimon couldn't imagine how this kind of regulation would be enforced.
Ying also nodded, a little incomprehensible to this kind of rule that can be called a violent order.
Tardella looked at them, and the smile on his face became more and more obvious: "Hahahaha, you don't think this is tyranny, don't worry, these caravans are smart, obey the order, they can get the reward of Chisha, the next order, the next purchase, this is what they want." β
"Moreover, if they have any losses during the appointment, Chisha will also compensate them."
"Oh, I see, I thought." Paimon said, patting his chest.
"What do you think it is?"
"Huh? Haha, it's nothing, when are we leaving? β
Paimon hurriedly changed the subject, I can't tell you that I just thought that the Lord of the Red Sand was a tyrant~
"Hmph~" Tardella let out a cute chirp, then looked behind him, "It's going to be soon, wait for everyone to bring everything out, and then you can go." β
Not long after,
The warriors of the Red Sands came out of the Fatui base with their things,
Not just things, but captives, and mad scholars who were caught here by the Fatui.
"Dehya, please tell Candace that these madnesses. Village keeper, I'll bring it back to Chisha first, and if she wants it, I'll send it to her when she gets back. β
Tadra doesn't know where these mad scholars come from.
Anyway, let's bring it back to Chisha first.
"Okay." Dehya nodded, then waved at Ying and Paimon, "Then I'll go back to Aaru Village first, goodbye friends." β
Dehya left.
And Tadra walked into the caravan, and in a short time, he returned with a simple beast of burden.
"Let's go, you haven't sat on a pack beast yet, come, I've got one for you."
Tardella beckoned to Ying and Paimon, then rolled over and sat on the beast of burden.
Paimon never knew what politeness was.
Seeing the novelty, he immediately flew to Tadra's side and sat down on the beast of burden.
"Wow, it's amazing, it's completely different from the pack beasts you saw in Huachengguo."
"Haha, yes, I've heard from a scholar who taught children before that it's because the desert and the rainforest have completely different ecological environments, so they have different populations of pack beasts."
Tardella began to give Paimon science something she didn't know much about herself: "It's said that if you let the pack animals of the rainforest come to the desert, they will soon die due to the temperature and lack of water. β
"This is also the reason why many chambers of commerce on the other side of the rainforest have no way to transport materials in the desert, and only a very small number of chambers of commerce can trade in the desert if they have desert beasts."
"Wow, I see!" Paimon looks at Tardella with adoration, causing the young falcon to feel happy.
Ying didn't speak, but she also turned over and got on the pack beast.
Soon, the warriors of Chisha, with the help of the caravan, placed all the supplies and personnel.
The huge caravan began to operate, heading for a fertile oasis on the other side of the desert.
Along the way, Tadella keeps telling Ying and Paimon about the Lord of the Red Sands in his eyes.
"I was originally a falcon of the desert tribe Tanit, oh, you may not know it, it is a falcon that was raised by people to hunt, as the name suggests, I am the same person."
"At the beginning, I always thought that this was my life, until the Lord of the Red Sand appeared."
"He first awakened some of my brothers and sisters, and then he broke through the Tanit tribe and freed me from the eagle's cage."
"He gave me a new life, haha, you know Jeongde, she must have told you about my dream."
Tardella looks at Ying and Paimon.
Paimon nodded, "Jeongdh said that Tadela's biggest dream seems to be to defeat the sisters named Karene and Kaisha. β
"Haha, that's right, it's my dream to defeat Karin and Kai'Sa and become the handmaidens of the Lord of the Red Sands."
"Hmph, those two guys, obviously they came a little earlier than me, what qualifications do they have to occupy that position, so I don't admit that they are the ones closest to the Lord of the Red Sand."
Speaking of the Karen and Kaisha sisters, Tadla's tone was visibly angry.
Before Wang Daoyi didn't have any thoughts of changing the maid, Sister Kasha Karen was the maid who had followed him the longest, and no matter how hard Tadella tried, it was difficult to shake the status of the two sisters.
Ying and Paimon glanced at each other, and each saw the speechlessness in each other's eyes,
"Ha, haha, I can see that Tadra really admires the Lord of the Red Sands." Paimon said in conjunction with Tadra's words.
Tardella looked at the two new friends beside him,
Restrained his smile and showed a hint of seriousness.
"I know you must think I'm extreme, even a little stupid, but when you get to Chisha and see the greatness of the One and know what He has brought to the people of the desert, you will understand me."
Saying,
Tadra stood up from the back of the beast of burden and suddenly raised his arm: "The great Lord of the Red Sands is watching us, hurry up and try to rush back to the clan within three days!" β
"Praise be to the great Lord of the Red Sands!"
There were echoing shouts all around,
Ying and Paimon were visibly aware that the speed at which the team was moving faster.
Just a slogan with the Lord of the Red Sand can inspire everyone's will,
This shows how important the Lord of the Red Sand is in the eyes of the people of the desert.
Huge caravans traveled day and night in the desert, stopping for a short break only at noon on the hottest day to replenish water and feed the beasts of burden.
And the cooler evenings, nights, and mornings, are all on the way.
The fellow businessmen were a little unable to withstand the speed of the Chisha warriors,
But as soon as they thought that they could make a sum of money in advance and get compensation for the requisitioned orders, the merchants gritted their teeth and persevered.
After a constant arduous trek, he also passed through a branch of red sand on the way, which replenished part of the water source.
Finally, three days later, in the early morning, a large gathering place appeared in front of the caravan.
Tadella happily said to Ying and Paimon, "See, this is the headquarters of Chisha, where tens of thousands of people live. β
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and pointed at the most conspicuous place in the tribe: "Look over there, the statue of the Lord of the Red Sand is built over there, next to the lake and forest, but unfortunately, now there is a temple next to the statue, and only the upper body can be seen, otherwise the first time you enter the tribe, you can see the statue of the great Lord of the Red Sand." β
Ying and Paimon followed Tadra's fingers,
Sure enough, I saw a huge statue standing over there, and I could vaguely see a young man, and it seemed that this Lord of the Red Sand was also very young.
"Wow, it feels bigger than Wendy's Aeolus." Paimon exclaimed.
Ying shook his head slightly: "I heard that the desert is very barren, but there are resources to build such a big god statue?" β
"Oh, you're right, there are many outsiders who always think that the idol is the selfish desire of the Lord of the Red Sand, and a lot of resources have been wasted to build a statue that will not move and is useless." Instead of being angry, Tadra explained, "But in our opinion, as long as the statue of the Lord of the Red Sand is still standing there, we know that the Lord of the Red Sand is still protecting us, which is a symbol of the gods. β
"Moreover, it is said that after the completion of the statue, there are very few unsightly monsters that will attack this place."
While talking, a huge caravan had already converged into the crowd of people coming from the gate of the Chisha headquarters.
A young girl had been waiting here for a long time, and beside her, there was a strange bottle.
"What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for another lowly slave? β
"Shut up, Lelupal, if you speak to me in this tone again, I'll shove you into the shithole."
"Heh, if it weren't for His Highness's opening, I wouldn't have followed you."
"Heh, if it weren't for the meaning of the Lord of the Red Sands, I wouldn't want to take you with me."
One person and one bottle quarreled at the gate, and the merchants who did not care about the passing by cast surprised glances.
