Chapter 556: Desert (2-in-1)
Sumeru City, Heavenly Arm Pool.
This is the pier of the Sumeru Waterway, and if you want to get to the port of Omos, the fastest way to get to the waterway is to catch a boat.
However, if you want to go to the desert, you don't need to go through the waterways.
Just take a ferry from the Tenjichi Pier to the opposite side and follow the road to reach Kawanyi.
Located at the intersection of the desert and the rainforest, it is a very important transportation hub and the last supply point before entering the desert.
But with Li Qiuzhi here, of course, there is no need to waste too much time on the road.
He looked at Dehya and Nilou:
"Do you want to teleport directly to Kawanyi, or do you want to fly high in the sky and enjoy the scenery along the way?"
"Really!" Nilu was pleasantly surprised, "The opportunity to overlook the view of Sumeru is a rare one! ”
"It seems that Nilou prefers to fly to get there, but what about Dehya?"
Li Qiuzhi moved his gaze to the side.
"Haha, I can do anything, anyway, it's faster than a carriage ride anyway." Dehya laughed twice and continued:
"And it can't spoil Nilou's interest, can it?"
"Well, thank you Dehya." A smile appeared on Nilou's pretty face, and she looked at Li Qiuzhi, "Thank you too, Mr. Adventurer." ”
[Nilou has a favorable opinion of Ling, gaining 330 opinion points, and the current opinion level is 5 (300/500)]
"Well, let's go."
Li Qiuzhi, standing on the pier, guided the wind element to form an upward wind field.
Several people spread their wings of the wind and jumped onto the wind field, and with a huge lift "Fu", Li Qiuzhi and them were instantly pushed into the air.
Dehya's long black and blonde hair was also half-floating, and Nilou's legs in white pantyhose were exposed under her skirt, and she pressed the hem of her skirt down with her hands.
Between thoughts, the wind direction adjusts.
Li Qiuzhi blessed everyone with a large amount of wind elements, and in an instant, everyone felt that their bodies had become lighter, as if there was no gravity at all.
Leaning forward slightly, those wind elements pushed the whole person forward.
The water surface reflected the sunlight, reflecting the hull of the sailboat, and the dragonflies waved in circles, and the three of them, with the blessing of the wind element, quickly crossed the river and rose higher into the sky.
"Wow, the river looks so small!" Nilou, who flew high in the air, lowered her head and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Indeed." Li Qiuzhi echoed, looked at Dehya on Nilou's right, and asked curiously:
"By the way, Dehya, did you have something to do with your trip to the desert this time?"
Nilou also turned her head sideways to look at it, and there was a hint of curiosity in her expression.
"Oh? You are curious about this, in fact, it is nothing, but I have been a bodyguard for Miss for so long, and I have saved a little Mora, and I feel that I usually don't use it much, so I want to make a contribution to the development of the desert. ”
Dehya stared ahead.
The warm sunlight fell on her honey-colored skin, reflecting the slightest sparkle.
"Hey, contributing to the desert, does that mean donations?" Nilou's emerald green eyes revealed a hint of confusion.
The environment of the desert is harsh, and the people of Sumeru know that in order to help the people in the desert area, the Akademiya has set up targeted assistance projects every year.
For example, sending some supplies to the main villages, or building some infrastructure, etc.
If the funds for these projects are released to the Akademiya, it may not last long, so donations from the public will also be accepted.
She also donated a few times when she had plenty of money.
"Almost." Dehya nodded, "There is very little land that can be used for cultivation in the desert, and everyone who wants to earn more money can only become an adventurer in addition to becoming a mercenary of the Gilded Brigade."
"Both types of work are more dangerous, let alone in desert areas where wind and sand are rampant, so there are more left-behind children in desert areas.
"Because they don't have their parents to take care of them, their lives have become extremely difficult, and I can't bear to see this, so I will occasionally donate some Mora to help them.
"Although there are not many of them, they play a limited role. In addition to donating money, there is also to go to Aru Village to meet friends, and I don't often go around to visit, but the relationship will be rusty. ”
"I see, Dehya is really a caring person!"
Nilou looked admiring.
Li Qiuzhi nodded and said:
"Don't worry, the great sage in the past only cared about colluding with the Fatui, and he must not be attentive enough to these things.
"Now that the Little Auspicious Grass King is in control of the Akademiya, the living conditions in the desert will soon be improved!"
If you want to control the entire desert, it will not be possible to complete it in a short time, but if you want to do some measures to prevent wind and sand near the main human gathering places in the desert, it should be no problem.
Hiring some Rock Elemental Vision wielders to build some windbreaks can alleviate some of the problems.
When the road is built, some windproof shelters will be built along the road for people working in the desert to rest and shelter from the wind and sand.
This should greatly improve the safety of working in the desert.
Of course, these are only palliative measures, and if you want to make life better for people in the desert, you still need to plant trees.
Due to the lack of water in the desert, even if the Grass Elemental Vision holder goes to spawn a forest, it will soon wither, and this is just a waste of manpower and material resources.
It is mainly up to the botanists of the biologistical school, and only by studying plants that are resistant to drought and can grow in the desert with low water requirements can there be hope of completely solving the problem.
But that's just the surface.
It is said that the desert is the territory of the former demon god Red King, and it is not known if the desert has been affected by power, otherwise it may not be so easy to spread the boundaries of the rainforest by planting trees.
"Lord Grass God, I naturally believe it!"
Nahida's mere solution to the Demon Scale Disease was enough to make her think that the Little Auspicious Grass King was not inferior to the gods of the former Great Mercy Tree King.
"Hmm!"
Li Qiuzhi believes that Nahida should have arrangements in this regard, but he doesn't know how it will progress.
So next.
Seeing that both Nilou and Dehya were focused on the landscape below, he used the "road marker" to get information from Nahida as he flew.
Knowing that life in the desert was so difficult, he also wanted to do something.
Listening to Li Qiuzhi's doubts, Nahida quickly gave an answer:
"Although the Red King is gone, the remaining power is still affecting the desert, and if you want to change the environment there, you must eliminate those factors that affect the desert.
"If it weren't for the influence of the Red King's power, the Great Mercy Tree King would have spread the rainforest over the past."
"Oh? It seems that this is a bit tricky. Li Qiuzhi said helplessly.
"Don't worry, the scholars of the Biotheonist School are cultivating plants that circumvent the influence of the Red King's power, and if the research is successful, they may be able to create a few large oases in the desert."
Nahida explained.
"Oasis, that sounds pretty good." Li Qiuzhi nodded.
"By the way, aren't you going to the desert, by the way, keep an eye out to see if you can find the remaining powers of the Red King, and collect them if you can.
"Then their impact on the desert will gradually decrease."
Before Nahida ended the chat, she asked Li Qiuzhi for something.
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it." Li Qiuzhi naturally won't refuse, it's all a matter of the way anyway.
With a large amount of wind element blessings, the flight speed is very fast, and it only took one morning to set off from the Heavenly Arm Pond and cross the Zena Garden to Kawanyi.
During this time, they saw the majesty of the mountains, and also saw the woods of the water and sky jungle, which were composed of very tall trees.
Even the well-informed Dehya had never looked down on the water and sky jungle from above.
Previously, she had taken her members of the group to venture inside, and looking at the huge trees could only feel her own insignificance.
Nilou was even more pleasantly surprised.
She didn't get the eyes of the gods, she was just an ordinary girl in Sumeru, so naturally she would not come to such a dangerous place, and after getting the eyes of the gods, she was still an ordinary girl in Sumeru.
At most, I can manipulate the water element, and let myself have more "special effects" when dancing, but I still don't have any experience in combat.
Therefore, she really hadn't been to a dangerous area with many monsters like the Water and Sky Jungle.
The first time she looked at these huge trees from above, Nilou opened her eyes, and she specially asked Li Qiuzhi to stop and watch for a while.
Then there was a huge harvest.
also had a slight impression of Li Qiuzhi:
[Nilou has a good impression of you, gain 360 opinion points, and the current opinion level is 6 (160/600)]
Looking at the prompts that popped up on the character panel, Li Qiuzhi was also very happy. One step closer to maxing out the Favor skill.
"Kawanyi has arrived, do you have any supplies to prepare?" Dehya looked at Li Qiuzhi and Nilou and asked.
They landed on the land of Kavanyi, but they didn't attract much attention, after all, wind wings are a common thing.
Pedestrians think they're flying down from some height.
"I don't need it, it's already in the eyes of God." Nilou shook her head, her red ponytail swaying.
Li Qiuzhi said that he didn't need it.
"Well, Nilou wants to get inspiration from the desert, so you don't have to fly on the way to Aaru Village, let's go there!"
Dehya crossed her arms and lifted her red and black bandeau a little.
"Well, there is still some time until noon, and if we leave now, we should be able to reach Aru Village at noon tomorrow."
She continued:
"Because of the relationship between flying over, it is much faster than the normal journey, so I am not in a hurry to set off, do you want to take a break in Kawanyi?"
"Well, it's still as lively as before, just to see if anything has changed." Nilou nodded slightly.
She was obviously no stranger to Kavanyi.
Li Qiuzhi hadn't been here before, and it just so happened that Dehya and Nilou were familiar with this place, and he was happy to let them be guides to take a good look at this place.
"Okay, then we'll take a break here." He agreed.
Then the three of them walked around the streets of Kawanyi, where there were many more desert people than on the other side of Sumeru City, after all, it was the most important place for supplies.
And on the side of Kavanyi facing the desert, there is a huge wall to block the wind and sand, so don't worry here, a sandstorm will drown everything.
That's why desert dwellers prefer to stay here.
In the afternoon, after resting, Li Qiuzhi and a few people were about to set off into the desert, and at this moment, at the city gate, a group of people ran in.
The young man at the head carried a man whose clothes were covered with blood, and he shouted anxiously:
"Doctor! Where's the doctor! Get out of the way! ”
The pedestrians on this road are all interested, the gilded brigade, the mercenaries who are killed and killed, it is normal to be injured, this kind of scene is used to the people who live here.
"It must hurt like that," Nilou said with some sympathy as she watched them walk away.
On the premise of not knowing whether the other person is good or bad, no one can be happy when they see others suffering.
And looking at the man and his companion so nervous, the injured companion didn't look like a bad guy.
"No way, since you choose to be a mercenary, you should be conscious before entering this industry." Dehya's expression was calm, she looked at it for a while, and then said:
"I noticed that the man's clothes had a flat cut, and it looked like a sword wound, so it was ruled out that ordinary monsters had done it, and it was probably a wound sustained in a battle with a person in the desert.
"We also have to be careful when we enter the desert, after all, there will be no shortage of scum robbers in the desert."
"What, isn't it dangerous to be in the desert like this?" Nilou's emerald green eyes widened.
"With me, especially with this legendary adventurer, there won't be any long-eyed guy looking for trouble!"
Dehya chuckled.
As long as she doesn't encounter sandstorms or dangerous monsters, she can run rampant in the desert herself, even if she encounters a whole mercenary group, she can leave calmly.
"Whew, yes, it seems that my worries are unnecessary."
Nilou looked at Dehya and then at Li Qiuzhi, patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey, Mr. Adventurer, what is this?"
She looked at a spot of light on Li Qiuzhi's fingertip and asked suspiciously.
"That person seems to have lost too much blood and went into shock just now, not to mention that with the medical conditions of Sumeru City here, there is not much hope of being saved, so I just want to help them."
After speaking, Li Qiuzhi flicked the golden point of light at the gold-plated brigade group that went away, and then the point of light quietly entered the body of the recipient.
This is a point of light condensed by his golden sword intent, which has a good healing effect, and it is not a problem to save that person's life.
"Oh, I didn't expect you to be quite sympathetic!" Dehya said with a smile, and Nilou next to her nodded.
[Dehya has a favorable impression of you, gaining 340 opinion points, and the current friendship level is 4 (100/400)]
[Nilou has a favorable opinion of you, gaining 340 opinion points, and the current opinion level is 6 (500/600)]
