Genshin Impact, me and my great cause

"You can trust Ahmar's Beard to act as a guide and help find the way."

"us,"

Kusela looked serious and sounded even more serious, trying to make Du Ruo feel that seriousness.

"It's professional."

Du Ruo felt it, and indeed found this person interesting. Was he fooling himself into thinking he was a child?

Have an attitude that if you need help, just ask for help.

Chapter 12 Candice, the Guardian of Aru Village

Du Ruo could not completely trust a stranger, but he accepted Kusela's kindness.

This person has great residual value. For quite some time, the most powerful gilded brigade in the Sand Sea is the Legacy of the God King. This is a very large gilded brigade composed of many affiliated brigades, or many brigades. The regiment is directly attached to the Legacy of the God King.

Outside the sand sea is the 30-man group, and within the sand sea is the legacy of the God King.

Not to mention the desert people who did not exist as gilded troupes but as tribes, the Legacy of the God King achieved a certain extreme in the gilded troupe industry. It was full of vitality and everything competed until Kusela made a slight move and defeated the God King. The legacy collapsed.

It was very dramatic, even if the cost was his life.

At present, Kusela has not acted like that. He is still the Beard of Akhmar who is attached to the legacy of the God King and is quite respected by the members, but Du Ruo is also willing to accept his kindness.

At least this guy looks good. He has no weapons and is a cripple. If Du tries hard enough, he can probably knock him down and use it to blackmail his team members. You don't want this cripple either...

It can be said that both parties are very sincere in cooperation.

Having reached an agreement like this, Du Ruo hired him with a single mola to lead the way and escort him to Aru Village.

Yes, Du Ruo had molas, these golden ones that could pass through the sea of ​​sand, but he did not throw them away in order to lighten the burden.

After all, it's not much, so the weight doesn't matter much.

It's a joke for Mora to hire a gilded brigade alone with this point - I'm confused, I'll rob you, and you'll be mine too.

For desert people, people are also valuable. Adults can be used as slaves, and children can also undergo rigorous training to become falcons.

Slavery is widespread in the Sand Sea.

Kusela did not do that. He accepted Duruo's Mora and entered into a contract.

In a world where gods are watching, this is a very serious matter, and a basic trust has been established between both parties.

So the next day, a group of people headed towards Aru Village together.

Rejecting the option of riding on a pack animal, Du Ruo followed the convoy, constantly observing everyone's every move in the process.

It’s not about being vigilant, but about learning, talking less and reading more, and pondering over and over again.

There are no scholars in the desert. The Islamic Council has explicitly banned the spread of all knowledge in the desert. Any lectures will lead to investigation, even if the scholar is born in the desert.

Therefore, all they have is the survival experience passed down by word of mouth and the skills they have developed in harsh environments.

This is enough, Du Ruo doesn't choose.

He is like a hungry sponge, absorbing everything that is beneficial to him, including the taboo knowledge tainted by the Demon Scale Disease.

Time passed quickly like this, the surrounding greenery became more and more abundant, and the sound of sand moving under his feet was heard. Du Ruo licked his lips and tightened the weapon in his hand.

After a while, a round beetle emerged from under the sand, making a rustling sound and detecting the surrounding situation.

The golden beetle is a tenacious beetle that lives in the sand sea. The patterns on its back are similar to those of ancient ruins.

It was not what Du Ruo was wary of.

Just in front of the motorcade, another motorcade appeared. He saw Kusela approaching and seemed to have exchanged something. In the end, the two parties hugged each other, and there seemed to be no conflict.

One continues to Aru Village and the other leaves.

Du Ruo watched the convoy leave and looked at Kusela in the team who was in high spirits and seemed to have received some good news.

This person has two brushes, and although he doesn't have any Erling weapons, he looks pretty good, but he has the reputation and connections established by walking in the sand sea for decades, as well as the infamy of the God King's Legacy.

Many times, he can avoid the option of fighting.

Soon after, Aru Village finally appeared in their sights. This settlement of desert survivors is a rare and spectacular city in the Sand Sea. It has a history of more than [-] years and has been standing there since the reign of the King of the Sand Sea. on this land.

But at that time, the sand sea was mostly oases surrounded by green and blue.

And now...

Gul City has become distant history. The town spirits no longer provide assistance to the desert people, and technology has completely regressed. Aru Village abandoned all town spirit technology and taboo knowledge belts when the remnants of a thousand years ago took refuge. Convenience has come, and now if you want to build anything, you can only use sand, stone and earth.

Knocking on the wall of the building at the entrance of the village, Du Ruo confirmed that it was a kind of cement-like thing that was mixed with various kinds of chitin, bone meal and straw stalks to create the complicated staircase city in front of him.

Aru Village is not small. If you want to enter the city, you must first pass through the cave-like passage, climb the steep slope road, and cross the suspended suspension bridge.

The quality of the suspension bridge should be very good, and at least more than ten tons of beasts of burden can pass through after loading.

"Everyone, welcome to Aru Village."

When he was about to enter the village, a slender girl walked over from the other end of the suspension bridge.

Even if Du Ruo was blind, he could tell that she was a beautiful woman. She was not very tall, about 1.6 meters tall, but she was well-proportioned.

Especially because she was wearing cool clothes, revealing her toned belly and thighs, which were clearly visible.

As she walked, her wheat-colored skin was full of healthy vitality, and together with her flying short hair, it glowed like a dense ribbon in the sun. She walked very steadily, and the shaking of the suspension bridge did not affect her calmness.

His expression was as calm and gentle as water.

She still had heterochromatic eyes, with jewel-like heterochromatic pupils under her slender eyebrows, and her gaze swept over everyone.

"I'm Candice, Candice from Aru Village."

Kusela came up to him and began to greet him.

The person was a man next to Candice. They both said something passionately. If Du Ruo didn't listen, he must be the village chief.

In the early days of the opening of Aru Village between the two parties, Candice accompanied the village chief as a guardian to receive passing caravans, conduct trade discussions with them, and even personally escorted them out of the village.

If you want to visit the village, you will receive the most considerate reception from Candice.

Killing with one shot and burying in the yellow sand is also a form of hospitality, if the visitor is unkind.

"It's really interesting. This little girl doesn't look like she's 14. She's really only 8 years old."

Du Ruo watched all this. His short-term goal was Aru Village. He planned to take a break here, gain more knowledge and strength with the help of the safe environment here, and finally go to the rain forest.

Only in the forest can he get some relief from his demon scale disease.

Although Thammed Oasis is very good, much better than Sand Sea, it is still not good enough.

"Hello, little brother, you don't seem to be from this caravan?"

Candice stayed by the village chief's side, probably as a kind of guardian. As the conversation became more pleasant, she slowly turned her attention to other people.

Du Ruo is a person with divine eyes after all.

There will be no shortage of such people in Xumi, but there won't be too many of them either.

Candice looked at him high and greeted him, which was normal.

but,

"Little brother? Me?"

Du Ruo had a strange feeling.

"I am... Du Ruo. It is true that I am not with them. This is probably the end of our journey."

Du Ruo did not give a false name, but he did not reveal too much either.

Rather than making up something that is and isn't there, it's better not to say anything and let her guess.

As for Kusela, in order to ensure that the legacy of the God King is dealt with by him, Du Ruo will never interfere with his schedule and let himself become an unexpected factor.

Therefore, he really had no intention of continuing to follow, causing others to change their path.

Candice nodded, seeing that Du Ruo didn't want to say anything, so she didn't ask again.

She was very busy maintaining the peace and order of the village by herself. Even though she had to confirm the intention of the visitor and whether it was harmful to Aru Village, she did not need to go into too much detail.

As long as you are willing to abide by the rules of Aru Village, you are a guest of Aru Village.

Chapter 13 The Legend of the Mirage Realm

The night in Aru Village was very peaceful. Du Ruo was assigned a rest room and had a good sleep after a long time.

At dawn, he walked out of his room and wandered around Aru Village alone.

Although he wanted to go to the rainforest, Du Ruo knew that it was not a simple matter and required a lot of preparations, so he needed to observe the temporary destination carefully.

Objectively speaking, today's Aru Village is still very exclusive. People in Akhmal's Beard are restricted to certain areas in the village, and they have to rely on the relationship of the village chief if they want to trade.

When Du Ruo walks in the village, he will inevitably receive some strange looks. The characteristics of an outsider are clearly reflected in him. It is not even a desert person's temperament, it is particularly foreign.

Fortunately, his age and the God's Eye on his chest reduced Du Ruo's malice a lot, and he was able to get through unimpeded, as long as he didn't go to the villagers' houses to rummage through things.

Again, the Eye of God is precious.

Teyvat is a world with gods, and the Eye of God is a gift from the gods. In the Great Red Sand Sea, it is the favor of Akhmar and represents the will of the gods.

Of course, when it comes time to take action against the holders of the Eye of God, they will be targeted even more.

Du Ruo saw Candice again. She didn't seem to be wandering around, but came prepared.

"Guests from afar, can you come with me?"

His expression was still calm and gentle, but his amber and blue eyes locked on Du Ruo with a sense of oppression.

Du Ruo was at a loss.

'What's going on? Kusela and the others are having a thunderstorm. '

This is the reason why Du Ruo cannot completely trust Kusela. His end was heroic, but before that, he was still a person who made a living under the Legacy of the God King. There are also people who can join the Legacy of the God King. Case record.

But Du Ruo couldn't refuse Candice, so he nodded.

"it is good."

Candice turned and walked away, towards the outside of the village.

She is a guardian and has been since she was 8 years old. This is not only the responsibility she inherited from her grandfather, but also because she is super capable of fighting.

But after Aru Village was opened, she also faced many challenges.

A group of treasure thieves who infiltrated the village pretending to be businessmen, a group of mercenaries who hijacked caravans, and unscrupulous traders who stole and cheated...

Reliance is not gentle.

Go all the way to the deserted back hill.

No one saw them along the way, but no one cared what they were doing.

Candice must have a reason for doing this.

It's a pity that Du Ruo can't think like that, he has to care, thinking about how to distance himself from or even betray Kusela along the way.

Then he heard something that surprised him.

"You must have done what happened to Xander."

"Ok?"

Who is Sander?

Du Ruo thought for a while and remembered a bearded man.

His eyes suddenly became sharp: "Are you guys in the same group?"

Her body tensed up instantly, and she could escape at any moment - it was impossible to fight, and in front of her was a village-level female warrior.

Considering the special nature of Aru Village, it is almost equivalent to the fact that there is no one who can fight better than her within hundreds of miles.

'You're careless, that guy is not dead! '

Just like how he easily killed two members of the Gilded Brigade and was stunned by the fragility of life, what Du Ruo felt at this moment was another kind of life that could be so tenacious.

Candice's expression remained unchanged: "Guests from afar, Sander returned to Aru Village after his death. His partner told me that the last time people saw him was looking for a young man with black hair and brown eyes. , he has the favor of Akhmar.”

"I think Akhmal's favor is so precious that there won't be another boy who gets it at the same time, right?"
