Lin Feng and Eula didn't stay in Huacheng Guo for long.

Although he was very reluctant to Collei, three days later, Lin Feng and Eula quietly left before dawn.

The reason why it's so urgent.

Or because Lin Feng didn't want Nahida to come to the door.

He knew very well that the investment of the Seven Gods in himself was not over yet, at least, before the empty grew into a Heavenly Reason-level combat power, he was an experiment in the eyes of the gods.

So he didn't want to let himself have too much contact with the gods now, lest he lose his usefulness and be kicked away by the gods.

Although both Wendy and Zhongli have shown great kindness to themselves.

But Lin Feng doesn't like or agree to put his fate on the premise that others will be kind to him, he is really strong when he is strong, and putting his own safety on the conscience of others is like believing that Torre is capable of personnel.

Therefore, Lin Feng, who was quite self-aware, just left a letter for Collet, and took advantage of the night to go straight to the desert.

The distance from Huacheng to the desert is not close, and it almost spans the entire rainforest area of Sumeru.

If it was Lin Feng himself, with his current ability to resist the wind, he would be able to rush to the desert in a day.

But Eula isn't that fast right now.

Among the seven elemental forces in Teyvat, the wind elemental power and the thunder elemental force are recognized as fast.

Especially the thunder elemental force.

If it weren't for Lin Feng's ability to storm the wind, then the fastest way for him to travel now would definitely be the ability of the lightning incarnation.

Fortunately, Lin Feng is not in a hurry now.

For him, the more it drags on, the better.

It's best to let Sora grow up before the gods use coercive measures on themselves, so that they are completely safe.

"I think Sora seems to have returned to Liyue Harbor, and I can help him after looking for Apep."

Lin Feng teased the mushroom beast in his hand as he muttered to himself, "I just don't know if he has found that Paimon now." ”

"Paimon?"

"Who's that?"

Eula on the side asked curiously.

She knew who it was, but she didn't know what Paimon was in Lin Feng's mouth.

"I don't know."

Unexpectedly, Lin Feng, who has always known everything, answered this time that he didn't know.

Eula was even more curious: "You don't even know who she is, so how do you know the name?" ”

"I mean, I don't know who she is."

Lin Feng sighed: "This little thing is likely to have a connection with Sky Island, other than that, I don't know anything else." ”

"Connected to Skye?"

Eula was taken aback.

She knew that Lin Feng was now on the opposite side of Sky Island, and if that Paimon was connected to Sky Island, wouldn't that mean that Lin Feng would be in danger when he met her!

"It's not that serious."

Lin Feng smiled, pressed his palm, and signaled Eula to reassure: "Although this little thing has a connection with Sky Island, she should not have any memory of this, or she has sealed this memory, and she appeared to find emptiness, so it shouldn't have much intersection with me." ”

Speaking of which.

Lin Feng couldn't help but ponder again.

In terms of time.

Sora should have been at least a little over a year before he encountered Paimon.

However, Teyvat's current timeline has been messed up by himself, and many of the things he knows have happened in advance or can't happen.

This is something that Lin Feng realized a long time ago.

Perhaps due to the butterfly effect, or because the fate line was moved in advance, Teyvat's originally established fate lines have changed to a greater or lesser extent.

So he's not sure Paimon will be able to meet Sora in a little over a year.

If you can't even get it right.

Sora has now met Paimon and started his journey to find his family.

With all kinds of strange thoughts, Lin Feng and Eula traveled all the way through the rainforest area to Kawanyi.

"Oh, it's new."

Coming to Kawanyi again, Lin Feng can obviously feel the difference here.

In the past, although Kawanyi was a key pass connecting the rainforest and desert areas, it was extremely repulsive to desert people.

It is not an exaggeration to describe the status of desert people here as a third-class citizen.

Especially as a mercenary.

The mercenaries who work in the Akademiya can be powerful, but those who have come out of the desert have a hard time here.

Being deliberately targeted is a trivial matter.

Deducting commissions, strict new rules for mercenary movements, and even high-end restaurants that refuse mercenaries entry.

Under all kinds of discrimination, the mercenaries also tried to resist.

However, under the bloody suppression of the Akademiya and the mercenary group that was supposed to be siblings but was bribed, the desert mercenaries' resistance all ended in failure.

Except for a few mercenary groups with a strong reputation like the Blazing Mane Lion, who can get some relatively fair treatment here, the other mercenary groups basically have to swallow their anger for their livelihood.

But the consequences of this.

It's that the law and order in Kawanyi is extremely bad.

Those suppressed mercenary groups have nowhere to vent and can only drink and have fun after the mission.

And after a few glasses of wine, their minds are confused.

Fights and brawls are trivial, and collisions with the Akademiya branch have happened from time to time.

When Lin Feng and Eula came before, the innkeeper would deliberately explain not to go out at night, so as not to run into those mercenaries who drank so much that they forgot their surnames.

Thus.

At that time, the security of Kawanyi was so bad.

But at that time, the Akademiya didn't think about governing Kawanyi well, but used such a case to publicly smear the character of the desert mercenaries, so that those rainforest people who had never seen the desert mercenary group were afraid of them.

And so on and so on.

The desert mercenary group became more and more unpopular in the rainforest area, and even the entire desert area was affected because of this, even the desert people who did not commit adultery were not treated fairly in the rainforest area.

But now when Lin Feng and Eula came to Kawanyi again, they could clearly see the changes that had taken place here.

First of all, there are a lot of vendors here who are clearly from the desert area.

They were selling their stuff with the vendors in the rainforest, and although they could still see some disgust on the faces of the people in the rainforest area, the specialties from the desert still made those in the rainforest who had never seen these things stop and watch, and some of them would start to bargain after a bit of play.

The second is that the patrol is not just the mercenaries who serve in the Akademiya.

Lin Feng met the Akademiya dressed in the costume of a discipline officer here.

And judging from the words and deeds of these people, they are not passing by here, but really came here to join the company.

"I'm still doing surveys."

After seeing what these discipline officials were doing, Lin Feng couldn't help but exclaim in Wuhu.

"Survey?"

Eula's curiosity is also piqued.

She remembered that Lin Feng seemed to have mentioned this kind of thing once before, and it seemed to be a way to gather public opinion.

"Ang, look."

Lin Feng was carrying a bag of freshly bought dates in his hand, and while eating, he angrily pouted at the vendors not far away.

Eula looked along.

At a glance, I saw a discipline officer holding a notebook in his hand, talking to the vendors, and nodding his head from time to time to record in the notebook.

After one research, he will go to the next one.

He is not the only one doing the same thing, and there are no less than five scattered around.

This only appeared in Lin Feng and Eula's field of vision, and I don't know how many people around me are doing this kind of research.

"It's really different for Lord Grass God to govern Sumeru."

Eula let out a sigh of emotion.

Before Eden Hazard died, Sumeru's management was a mess.

People in the rainforest area eat a lot of food and can waste food at will.

People in the desert area have to grab food and water, and even if life is difficult, they have to endure the malicious criticism of the rainforest area all the time.

It is even more polarized than Inazuma when the three major government were in power.

"Indeed, I have to admit, she is a good deity."

Lin Feng, who had always admired Nahida's concept of governance, praised it again.

Mondstadt, Inazuma, Liyue.

All three countries have intervened in the management of forest winds.

There is destruction, but also various proposals and opinions.

Only Sumeru, Lin Feng didn't say a word.

But now, Nahida, the god who inherited the status of the Great Mercy Tree King, had many of the same ideas as Lin Feng, and after she regained her power, she also successfully implemented her ideas.

Merely.

"There's a long way to go."

Lin Feng smacked his tongue and said.

The gap between the Sumeru rainforest and the desert is too deep.

In the hundreds of years that the Great Mercy Tree King was trapped in the World Tree, the Akademiya did not manage Sumeru properly at all, and everything it did was to prepare for that crazy god-making plan.

This has exacerbated the already inconspicuous conflict between rainforest and desert areas.

Especially after the great sage personally ordered the formulation of a plan for the desert area, the development of the desert area came to a complete standstill.

And not only has the process of intercommunication business been interrupted, but also the culture and education in the desert area has been completely destroyed.

The Akademiya confiscated the books that circulated in the desert, imposed great restrictions on the desert people's access to the Akademiya to study, and secretly encouraged the infighting between the desert tribes.

With this behavior, all the resources originally allocated to the desert area in the original plan of the Great Mercy Tree King were left to the Akademiya, which enabled the Akademiya's various scientific research to make rapid progress, and also accumulated a huge amount of wealth and resources for the creation of gods.

Now that Nahida has come to power, it can only be said that she has returned the original injustice to the desert, so that the desert people can get a relatively fair space for development.

But these centuries of estrangement really can't be solved in a day or two.

In Lin Feng's opinion, ten or twenty years can be regarded as fast, and it can be regarded as Nahida's ability to restore the desert area to the prosperity of the Red King era within a hundred years.

After a night in Kawanyi.

Lin Feng and Eula replenished their dry food and drinking water, and set off again.

This time.

They arrived at the village of Aaa, where Lilupal lived.

Compared to Kawanyi.

The changes in Aaru Village are even more striking.

Emerald green date palms surround the outskirts of the village, which was once surrounded by yellow sand, and a wide avenue leads from Kawanyi to the village.

Merchants rode large beasts of burden, and carts full of goods were pulled in and out of the village.

The changes in Aaru Village are even more striking.

Originally, this village built on the mountain had only dirt roads, and before the wind and sand picked up, the dust would be flying into the sky, forcing the villagers to hide in their homes.

And now.

The original dirt road has been replaced by a bluestone brick road, and most of the mud houses in the village have been replaced by brick houses, and the original scattered houses have been rebuilt neatly, so that even if obsessive-compulsive disorder comes, you can feel happy.

Lin Feng rubbed his chin and looked at the cyan bricks and stones carefully.

This is not a masonry from Sumeru, judging by its texture and color

"Liyue."

Lin Feng said firmly.

He is also well-informed, and he can still recognize this thing.

"Liyue's bricks, transported to Sumeru to pave the way?"

Eula couldn't believe it.

She bent down to observe for a moment, then reached out and touched the smooth surface of the masonry.

But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't tell how Lin Feng could tell at a glance that these bricks were from Liyue.

"Hmm."

"Sumeru's bricks aren't so neat."

Lin Feng nodded: "Although the Miao Theory School is very capable, their research is more used to serve the rich, so the bricks and stones they design and research are relatively expensive, and it is not something that a village like Aru Village can afford at all." ”

"Liyue's masonry is different."

"Even though Liyue Qixing only has money and profit in his eyes, I still have to say one fair thing, Liyue Qixing still cares about people's livelihood."

"Especially bricks and tiles, which are closely related to the common people, many of them produce varieties that are close to the people and of good quality."

"Now that Nahida is working to solve the problem of the polarization between the rich and the poor in Sumeru, Sumeru's own bricks and stones are naturally not good, so it is better to import low-cost goods from Liyue nearby to fill the market gap."

"And."

"Able to make such a suggestion."

Lin Feng smiled: "It can only be that person." ”

"Who?"

Eula, who was listening to the rise, tilted her head and asked suspiciously.

Soon, she thought about it.

Someone who can give advice directly to the grass god and is so proficient in architecture.

"Kaveh?"

Eula voiced her guess.

"Hmm."

Lin Feng nodded in agreement: "Only this great idealist who cares about the lives of ordinary people would think of replacing the high-priced Sumeru bricks and stones with low-priced Liyue bricks, and only he can design this kind of house that can be blown and sand and be cheap and durable, such a village structure that can be called art, and only he can design it." ”

As soon as the words fell.

Lin Feng suddenly saw a blonde-haired figure in the crowd in front of him, and immediately pointed forward and said, "Look, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive." ”
