So when Ils saw the girls in Aru Village standing by to pick up customers, he immediately thought of the things that had happened in history, so he pretended to be friendly with them and gave them a few pieces of silver. A lot of information was extracted from the opponent's mouth.
To be precise, it is the economic and ecological environment of Aru Village.
Guess what does Aru Village, which allows us to experience the exotic atmosphere in the game, look like in reality?
Now the answer is revealed: Huang accounts for [-]% of the industry here, and Beizhe accounts for [-]%. There is no news about the capital for the time being. It may also be that the locals are not up to that level. For example, cigarettes cannot be counted. After all, This money can be used to repair aircraft carriers. If your country does not have it, it will be cheaper for other countries.
The last remaining achievement is the local characteristic economy, such as selling water, selling food, and operating hotels and hotels. They are basically service industries, and there is no trace of handicraft industry.
Don’t underestimate the handicraft industry. Before the industrial revolution, the handicraft industry was an industry in the agricultural era and could provide and solve many jobs.
But if a place does not have a well-developed handicraft industry and the service industry is booming, then it is time to check it out. Basically, it is inseparable from Governor Huang. After all, economic circulation cannot be empty circulation. If there is nothing on the surface, Things that can stimulate the economy, but the local economy is very prosperous, it can only be an undercurrent under the deep sea.
Well, you made it clear. If we don’t do this, is there any other way out for Aru Village?
This is what you don’t understand. In the desert, a place with no shortage of water, there are always countless ways to prosper. The methods are all thought up by people. Before you even think about it, your thinking starts to slip and you are afraid of difficulties. You deserve to be unable to think of anything. All, this kind of people don't even dare to dream about something too outrageous. They are really pitiful and humble.
At this time, Aru Village did not know that a big boss who could determine their fate in the future was secretly observing them, and the results of this observation would directly determine the fate of all of them in the future.
On the other side, Candice found Desiya and invited her to her home.
Candice enthusiastically pulled Disiya to sit down and said happily: "It's been a long time since I saw you here."
"Because I have been taking on tasks near Xumi City recently. If it hadn't been more convenient for me to hand over a task to Kavanyi this time, and I also met a particularly generous employer, I probably wouldn't have appeared here."
"That's right, but when it comes to your employer, do you have any conflicts with him?"
"I..." Desiya hesitated.
"What? Is our little lion being bullied? Or is he your sweetheart?"
Facing Candice's teasing smile, Desiya shook her head decisively: "My good sister, please stop joking. I just want to end the mission quickly and go back quickly."
Candice's expression became serious and she asked seriously: "What happened?"
"Actually, nothing dangerous has happened so far, but... I think that person is very dangerous."
"Is your new employer dangerous?"
"um, I……"
Desiya told Candice what happened that day.
"That is definitely not a murderous aura that humans can possess. He is simply a murderous god!"
"Calm down, Desiya, there's something wrong with your mood."
"Ah, sorry, I couldn't control it, but he was really scary, really."
Candice frowned. She knew Disia very well. The other party stimulated Disia into this state with just murderous intent. It was obvious that he was not a good man and woman. In addition, such an unusually large mercenary group was just doing a job. Very simple task...
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.
At this time, Candice remembered a proverb circulated among the merchants in Aru Village: If the value you pay is far less than the value of the product itself, then you need to make up for the deficiency yourself.
The term "make it up yourself" here has two meanings, one is to make up for it at your own expense, and the other is...
Candice's eyes widened. Could it be that that person was targeting the entire mercenary group! ?
"Desia, you must withdraw from this mission immediately!"
"No, everyone is trapped now. No one wants to leave. If I leave like this, it will be like ignoring my other comrades. I will never abandon my comrades."
Although her tone was difficult, Desiya's eyes were extremely firm.
"You." Candice sighed.
Everyone is talking about this, we can't let Disiya abandon her companions and run away. Are you thinking about her, or are you actively creating conflicts? That's the end of the story.
Disia showed an apologetic smile, but still said: "Don't worry, I will be careful. After all, the mission ends at the Red King's Tomb. We don't need to go in. I will take everyone away then."
Candice shook her head: "I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to leave by then."
After saying that, Candice stood up, went into the room, took something and handed it to Desiya.
"Take this emergency teleportation stone. If you encounter danger, don't hesitate to crush it immediately. It will teleport you to the nearest teleportation anchor point. Promise sister, don't show off, okay?"
"it is good."
Section 11: The Red King appears and Sumeru rises
After resupplying in Aru Village, the mercenary group embarked on the journey again, heading towards the Red King's Tomb deep in the desert.
There will be no such large supply points on the next journey. High temperature, cold, water shortage, poisonous insects, and even other more dangerous things will appear. For these creatures, the humans in the mercenary group are no different from their daily diet. .
This is what these extraordinary species with elements on Teyvat Road can do. On earth, the fate of these things will only be steamed, braised, dried, stir-fried, and stir-fried.
But today, Iles wants to tell them that the flow has changed.
"It tastes good, like beef."
In the lee of the desert at night, the mercenary group is temporarily stationed here. There is nothing unusual about this. What is unusual is that the thing Ils is eating is a full kilometer long.
Sandworms are the characteristic species in the Great Red Sand Sea.
Although the name is sandworm, this thing does not eat sand. Among this huge population category, there is this super-large variant. According to the principle of biological evolution, if such a large thing cannot quickly survive in the environment, To obtain nutrients efficiently, they can only survive by eating meat, and the giant sandworms took this path of eating meat.
It also has a more exciting name - the death worm.
The thing similar to it in the game is called wind-eroded sandworm, and its activity range is not near the Red King's Tomb at all.
But again, the game is a game, and reality always messes up. For the death worm, any place it can quickly burrow through is its own scope of activity. The monsters in the game have range restrictions and attack logic. Reality The death worms in it will only judge whether to hunt based on whether they are hungry or not, and they are never picky about their food.
When this thing is full, it will lurk in underground areas close to water sources and sleep. Therefore, wherever there are dead worms, there must be underground rivers, but the risk factor is also high.
Half of the death worms are between 500 meters and 1000 meters in size. They emerge from the sand sea and attack prey. Some of the mutant varieties can use the power of elements. They are the most dangerous creatures in the desert. Basically, if they encounter them, they will almost die.
The game will remind players that wind-eroded sandworms are about to attack, but there is no such reminder in reality. Even a huge mercenary group with more than [-] people has no good way to face such an attack from underground. Relying on the extraordinary beings with divine eyes in the team to suppress them, others can run as far as they want. If they can't run away, it's their own bad luck.
But the one who was unlucky today was obviously the Death Worm. As soon as he came out, he felt that his body under the ground was stuck by something, and he couldn't move at all. Sensing the danger, the Death Worm wanted to escape, but was killed by Yi, who was holding a heavy sword. Ers cut the Kung Pao chicken into diced pieces and ate it that night.
It tastes great, but I don’t know if the protein is six times that of beef.
It was not bad luck that stuck the death worm, but Ils had long discovered that it was burrowing underground, so the moment it emerged, he directly used the power of the Grass God to control the rapid mutation and growth of underground plants. Blocking the original path of the Death Worm, forcing it to come out from another direction, otherwise it would have been able to get the first kill when it broke out of the ground just now.
After the death worm emerged from the surface, Ils controlled the mutated plants to block its return path, while wielding his two-handed giant sword that was unparalleled on the battlefield, ending the battle in the most violent manner.
For a superman, the two-handed giant sword is really easy to use. The only problem is that this thing, which weighs more than half a ton, is too heavy for an elephant. In actual combat, Iles always uses a lightweight version. This is used to sweep across the battlefield on foot, but the lightweight version also weighs more than [-] kilograms. Not to mention killing people, it can cut apart any tank in a single battle.
It’s true, Iles personally practiced it on the battlefield of World War I, which shocked all the friends from the Allied Powers present. By the way, his identity at the time was Winston Churchill, which is amazing.
After this battle, Ils's status in the mercenary group skyrocketed. Although he did not have the Eye of God, no one dared to despise him. Not to mention other things, the half-ton, two-meter-long giant sword It is the capital to gain respect.
Desiya was no longer shocked, but stunned, so shocked that she was completely speechless.
After the war, she tried to pick up the giant sword used by Ilse. She could hold it up, but she couldn't swing it like a meat grinder like Ilse. This thing can be operated with one hand. As outrageous as that is, where did he put this thing before?
Forget it, no one saw where the boxes filled with silver were moved out from when they were in the Gilded Brigade's business hall. They all appeared suddenly anyway, so everyone was not surprised.
The carcasses of death worms are also a good supply, and the meat of this thing is really tender and juicy, much better than any top-grade beef, and everyone is very happy to eat it.
But while dismembering the corpse of the dead worm, a small accident happened.
"what is this?"
"It seems to be a stone tablet. It should be the undigested part of the body after being eaten by sandworms."
"Do sandworms even eat this?"
"It was probably put into the stomach while hunting."
"There are words on it, does anyone recognize it?"
"I don't know. These are all ancient writings. Maybe they were written a long, long time ago."
At this moment, a group of well-informed old mercenaries came over. Although the proportion of intellectuals among the mercenaries was not high, those with senior qualifications were basically considered semi-professionals, and this An old mercenary falls into this category and is even considered a half-scholar.
Why half a scholar?Because when he was young, he was interested in ancient civilizations in the desert. He taught himself a lot of things in this area. He could read some ancient texts, but he was not particularly professional. He was a hobby scholar. When evaluating from a professional field, he was not just a semi-professional. A scholar.
Now that I see such an ancient stone tablet in the belly of a sandworm, my youthful hobby comes to mind, but I can't take a good look at it.
But the problem is that the old mercenary's literacy level is only two swords. Some words can be understood, but some words can only be guessed. So the content on the stone tablet was translated by him into "Red King 500" Hunting will cause disaster in the future."
The original text is actually: The Red King led five hundred warriors to hunt down sandworms and quell the disaster for the people.
God knows why this half-understood and half-understood old mercenary would translate the content like this. I can only say that intellectuals who are educated but not fully educated are much happier.
But there is a saying: the speaker has no intention but the listener has the intention.
"So that's it. The Red King hunted this sandworm. It's so powerful... Wait, 500 years later, the Red King!?"
"Hey, hey, it's true. Didn't the Red King die 500 years ago?"
"This is even more terrifying! Isn't it now 500 years later? The hunting disaster..."
"Speaking of which, we sand people have regarded these huge insecticides as disasters sent from heaven since ancient times. Otherwise, there would be no such name as death worms, because they are the messengers of death."
"Does that mean that the person who hunted the disaster is Chi..."
"Shhh, keep your voice down, you're going to die!"
Everyone present had a look of surprise and uncertainty, and soon, the news spread among the mercenaries.
History has contingency and inevitability, and historical trends are inevitability. For example, even if Hitler dies, World War II will still break out in another way, but history also has contingency. For example, it may not be Roosevelt who proposes Roosevelt's New Deal, but it could be replaced by Hoover. , which Iles confirmed personally, because he was Hoover at the time.
The only problem is that the American funders are not easy to talk to, forcing him to start another American Civil War, and then start centralized reforms as the American Emperor. More than 1000 million people died inside and outside, and another 100 people died in the Great Purge. For tens of thousands of years, loving comrades said they could no longer understand the United States. Because it was too much trouble, the American empire almost didn’t reap the dividends of World War II.
Now you understand, it was an accident that Ils traveled to the world of Genshin Impact, but it was inevitable that he would do something after the time travel. It was an accident that he traveled to Xumi, and it was also an accident that he met Sister Naxi, but he will do something with Xumi as the starting point. What is inevitable? In the overlap of necessity and chance, a piece of history is written.
In the collision of chance and necessity, history will be presented to us in the form of some magical chemical reaction. Just like now, a sandworm that was beheaded by Ils after unexpected appearance, and a piece of sandworm that was killed by Ilse at some unknown time. The sandworm swallowed the quilt, and the random translation by an old mercenary who was half-understood and half-understood produced the miraculous effect that is now like the operation of a reactor.
What's more coincidental is that Iles was originally planning to use the identity of the Red King to cause trouble, and this accidental incident was like a push.
How about saying, "Each time comes and heaven and earth are all united, and heroes are not free when they go." Personal achievements are bound to the vast historical torrent. You can't catch fish where there are no fish, just like you Questioning the U.S. system during a period of great economic crisis is problematic, and you can gain widespread support from the people. But if you were to question the U.S. system during Christmas in 1991, the CIA would not have to take action, and ordinary American people passing by would do it for you.
There are limits to changing one's fate against the will of heaven. For example, Xiang Yu could not defeat Iles's version of Liu Bang. Iles, who entered the Qin Palace first, dared to start a film with Xiang Yu directly in Xianyang, leaving only three elite members of the Chu army. For a few seconds, Xiang Yu himself was caught and thrown hundreds of meters away. He fell to death on the spot. What a joke.
To be honest, Iers wanted to recruit these mercenaries for his own use from the beginning. Although these people's combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the regular army, they are knowledgeable, have certain organizational skills, and are relatively superstitious. As for the method, as a A multi-world traveler who has mastered extraordinary power, he has rich experience.
Fox barks, fish maw characters, one-eyed stone men, meteorites falling from the sky, there are many methods that can be used. The ancients could still create such a big momentum without the blessing of extraordinary power (Liu Xiu, please get out, you can do magic), there is no reason Iles doesn't understand this.
Of course, all of this has preconditions, that is, objective conditions permit.
You must have a materialistic understanding of rebellion. To rebel in a peaceful and prosperous age is to seek death. Anyway, when Ils traveled to the Tang Dynasty, he heard that Li Shimin was in power, so he never thought of rebelling this time. It's a matter of course, but if the person in charge is Chunqi, then you can do whatever you want. Chunqing has never been stable from front to back, right?
The one who is a little more stable and has some actual achievements is Yongzheng, who is also the only Qing emperor recognized by Yiers. The others are all the Qingqing chiefs.As a result, this person did not live for a few years, and after reaching Qianlong, he was completely out of sight.
Now, the same question is posed here in Sumeru. Do the desert people want to rebel?
It can't be said that I don't want to do it at all, at least I am full of resentment.
Iles, who has traveled through countless worlds, summed up this wise saying: the location of the capital represents the political tendency.
If Xumi City is on the desert side, then the people of the desert are the children of the Eight Banners, and vice versa. If Xumi City happens to be on the dividing line between the desert and the forest, then the people on both sides will quickly integrate and communicate, and eventually form a new nation. .
This is also the reason why Iers set up capitals in Central Asia, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Western Europe after cutting all the way from the Central Plains to Europe in the late Ming Dynasty, and moved the capitals regularly. Otherwise, he would not be able to control such a large empire. Ah, if the capital is moved during one's lifetime, it can also strengthen the ethnic integration in each region. It is much cheaper than formatting the local population.
The capital of Sumeru is here in the forest. No matter how much the Great Compassion Tree King pursued equality and justice when he was alive, its spatial position represents Sumeru’s attitude towards the desert. This is not based on human subjective will. This is also the reason why Xumi, to this day, has higher stability in the forest than in the desert.
Low stability means poor order, and poor order will breed chaos. Chaos will bring poverty and disaster, lead to dissatisfaction among the local people, and further shake up the local order. These grievances will eventually be directed towards people who are better off than them.
This is an inevitable result. Even in a place like the United States, which is a place where magic is practiced against the odds, there was still the Occupy Wall Street movement. Resentment and anger will only continue to accumulate and increase. No matter how you transfer it, there will eventually be an explosion, because next time something similar happens Under such circumstances, people's resentment is not increasing bit by bit, but erupting like a nuclear fusion. In this environment, the government's management strength is constantly declining. Over and over again, the superstructure will I can't react.
At this time, in the territory of Xumi, the people of the desert were engaged in the simplest, lowest, and even the most menial jobs. Although some people were absorbed into the Order, their proportion was pitifully small compared to the people of the forest. Moreover, The sand that has been absorbed has turned into soil, just like the Mangosteen people in the United States. Do you expect them to speak for the desert people of Sumeru?Get benefits for them?Be a good person who never forgets his homeland?
No, no, no one is really that naive.
What's the difference between this and expecting Ukrainian compradors to revitalize Ukraine? It's just a matter of eunuchs looking for girls - nonsensical talk about the hardships of life will bring about thinking, and thinking will make people recall the past. If the past has been blurred, then the ancient beautify the history and then believe in it.
The history of Red King has long been buried in the sea of sand. The past has become history, history has become stories, stories have become legends, legends have become myths, myths have become beliefs, and beliefs are the easiest to condense dissatisfaction. and resistance.
This is what Ilse did when he was Hong Xiuquan, and the effect was very good. It was a great weapon in the late Qing Dynasty when illiteracy was everywhere.
Now Iles doesn't need to think about falsification. History has given him a push by chance. Although it is an accident, truly capable people will take advantage of chance. Since the opportunity is given to them, how can they not take it? reason.
So on the next journey, all kinds of rare and exotic animals along the way were unlucky.
As long as Ils discovers that there are dangerous biomes nearby, he will control the grass god's power to drive them over, and then he will be unparalleled in the field, quickly harvesting these poor creatures when everyone is in a state of confusion, and giving everyone bonuses. In a physical sense, the geese killed the geese and the beasts walked away to eat meat, which also made the mercenaries' worship value for him soar.
Every creature has a desire to be strong, especially mercenaries. As long as you are strong enough, it is not easy to take advantage of this psychology.
Along the way, Desiya, who was extremely wary of Ils before, now put down [-]% of her guard and started chatting with Ils. Although she did not believe in the reincarnation of the Red King or the return of the Red King, she The fact that Ilse saved everyone in the crisis is real, and at the very least, we should respect and thank him.
Unknowingly, all the mercenaries were cast in a halo of faith. They felt that as long as they followed Iers, they could overcome no matter how big the difficulties ahead were. After all...
Finally, after two months of trekking, the mercenary group arrived at the destination of this mission - the Red King's Tomb.
