01 - The Desert People's Beginning
The sand that covered the sky rose high, and a group of desert people with red scarves drove the camel beasts forward.
A young man named Rama sat on the body of the camel beast and led the whole caravan towards the Kawan post.
"That's not going to work."
He sat on the camel beast and looked back at the people behind him, with a little sadness between his brows.
Judging by his face alone, it is clear that Moro is not from Sumeru, and his facial features are more inclined to those of distant Liyue or Inazuma.
This is the sixteenth year that Rama has come to Genshin Impact, and he was adopted by the Tanit tribe of the desert, and thus belongs to the desert people.
Tribes are often inhabited by blood as the key to everything, and Rama is clearly an outsider.
Just by looking at his face, he knew that he was not a Sumeru at all.
Despite the bonuses he had cultivated since childhood, Rama did not gain more trust from the tribe.
Of course, the tribe would not be suspicious of him.
Because Rama was a brilliant scholar.
In this desert land, a brilliant scholar is also a precious resource.
"Desert people have no access to formal educational resources, and they do not have a suitable educational environment to support them."
"Even some books need to be smuggled to get their hands on them."
"In other words, in the hundreds of years since the death of the Red King, the technology tree in this land of yellow sand has not regressed, but has directly collapsed."
With the fall of the Tech Tree and the Heritage, the lives of the desert people have plummeted.
The decline of the Red King's technology is a matter of course.
It is no exaggeration to say that even today, hundreds of years after the death of the Red King, the Red King Technology is too advanced.
This is entirely based on forbidden knowledge and the forbidden path of this King of the Red Sands, and when the King of the Red Sand dies, the collapse of the tech tree is completely taken for granted.
And the current situation of the desert people is half due to the sudden whimsy of the Red King and his sudden collapse, and the other half is due to the master of Sumeru.
The desert is nothing more than a vassal of the rainforest.
Rama reached out and kneaded his earlobe, his expression gradually calming down.
When he first crossed over, he also thought about a lot of things, of course, the most direct thing is nothing more than the girl and strength.
A very objective question, in the long history of Blue Star, most of the powerful people are chasing the same thing - longevity.
Later, after the technology tree climbed, everyone gradually admitted that there may be immortality in this world, but it is by no means something that can be traced now.
But in the world of Genshin Impact, immortality does not dare to say that immortality does have a chance.
But Rama soon realizes that something is wrong, and his birthplace is in the desert.
In the plot revealed by Genshin Impact, the desert is the starting point, and its difficulty is second only to Inazuma, where the Eye Hunting Order officially began.
According to the timeline that Rama knew, the current Anemosaurus was still sleeping in the dragon's lair, and the eye hunting order had not yet been implemented.
In other words, the desert is the worst starting point.
"Knowledge is a valuable thing, and scholars who walk in the desert are not even allowed to impart knowledge privately."
This is something that is actually recorded in the plot.
And when it came to reality, Rama had more understanding.
"The Red King······· It's really a mess left behind. ”
He shook his head, his voice barely noticeable.
Only the hunter who was following the camel beast was startled, she looked around, and subconsciously clasped her fingers on the bowstring.
For the Spiritwind Hunters, all they believe is the longbow in their hands, and the Doom that inhabits the longbow.
The latter is often more threatening than her bowing.
"Don't be nervous, Tadela." Rama jumped down, "No one else will know. ”
"Are you saying that everyone who goes with you is absolutely trustworthy?"
The hunter's movements were small and did not disturb anyone.
Trust between tribes is a necessary quality to survive in this land of red sand.
Even the clan is no longer trustworthy, and everyone's survival space will only be more meager.
However, archers, who are destined to hunt traitors as hunters, do not trust their comrades as much as ordinary tribesmen.
She's killed too many people who betrayed the tribe.
"No, I mean, you're the only one who hears that."
Rama shook his head.
"Your Excellency, you can't say that." Pursing his lips, the hunter named Tadela lowered his cheek and subconsciously reached out to block the side of his cheek.
The well-trained hunter is tall and slender, with only a few scars on his bare skin.
Especially on the cheek, a new knife mark has just healed, and the scar is a little hideous.
Hunting is never a game of warmth, and when you want to kill it, the prey never stops at bay.
Being counter-attacked is just the norm, and even if it is counter-hunted, it will happen in the tribe.
Even if it's a falcon, not every hunt can bring back prey.
Rama broke Tadela's palm and looked at the woman's cheek.
It was a rather intimate gesture, but his words were not gentle.
"Isn't that what Marcela wants to see?" He whispered, "If I marry a wife and have children in the tribe, he will have the certainty of completely clamping me down." ”
Falcon does not protect people.
Her job is to hunt, not to protect.
A very simple truth, how you believe that a person will not betray, it is better for you to directly grasp his handle, so that he does not dare to betray.
You believe he won't, and you know he can't.
These are two cases.
"Of course, it's not a bad thing, is it?" Rama was not angry, "If I am loyal to the tribe, then this matter is that he has sent me beautiful and capable girls, and will help me to ascend to the throne, I really have no reason to refuse." ”
Rama knew Tadela's purpose, but he wasn't angry.
If you are loyal to the clan, then Marcel's behavior is a very routine thing for an elder to do - persuade young people to marry and have children near their hometown.
And if there is no loyalty to the tribe, then the behavior is better understood.
He wants to clamp you down with his wife and children.
How to understand it depends purely on the individual.
Rama is the former.
The desert dwellers had a bad start, but Tanit gave him a chance to survive.
The problem of a bad start was not brought about by Tanit, but by the general environment of Sumeru, the oppression of the people of the rainforest, and the operation of a group of dog thieves in the Akademiya.
Kindness needs to be reciprocated, and hatred should be repaid in blood.
This is the simplest truth.
Rama recognized this, so what he wanted to do was to try to lead the Tanit tribe back to the time when the Red King still ruled the land.
At the very least, let the desert people see hope and a future.
