People in Teyvat, starting from saving the grass god

She asked again: "Are you sure you are going out this time?"

"Ah."

"Don't worry, there will be no problem."

Stuffing the small box back into his arms, Rhodes took out the paper from the document bag and read it carefully.

This was the information on the Tanit tribe that he had asked the Blazing Hunter to collect in Aru Village.

As for that little box.

Inside are his Fire God's Eye and Grass God's Eye.

When he was in the Order Academy, he gave these two Eyes of God to Disiya for safekeeping.

And the reason why he wanted these two things back at this time.

It's because after planning for so long, Nafis is finally going to take action against Hafsay.

Before you need to use yourself.

Rhodes must first settle the matter with the Tanit tribe to avoid long nights and nightmares.

It just so happened that Dili Yexi was a traveler, and it happened that Qinat took over the project that Kyulesh applied for him.

Then use the identity of this traveler.

Rhodes planned to take advantage of this period of time to go on his first 'study tour' to the Tanit tribe.

Chapter 111 Elder Babel

The weather in the desert is still as bad as ever.

No matter where you go, you can't escape the words dryness, heat, and lack of water. Bodies can be seen everywhere, and the yellow sand and blue sky are filled with the breath of death.

Fortunately.

Now Rhodes is no longer the rookie who didn't know anything before.

After stepping into the desert again, he was able to skillfully survive in this harsh environment with ease.

[Due to safety issues, the Ecclesiastical Order has issued a ban on other desert areas in the Great Red Sand Sea. Travel is strictly prohibited! 】

[If you do not follow the advice and any accidents occur in these areas, the Ecclesiastical Order will not bear any responsibility. 】

This was the new announcement Rhode saw on the bulletin board when he left Kavanyi.

It is said that the monsters in the Great Red Sand Sea have been unusually restless recently. Therefore, when Rhodes, wearing the uniform of the Order Academy, appeared in Kavanyi with the obvious intention of preparing to cross the border alone, the instructor patrolling the city immediately appeared and sent He stopped him, and after confirming that Rhodes must go to the desert, he specially dragged him to sign a waiver before letting him leave.

"There are indeed more monsters than before. Is this a sign that a huge sandstorm is coming?"

After casually squeezing a sand scorpion that tried to attack him, Rhodes frowned and muttered to himself.

Even before he got deep into the Great Red Sand Sea, the number of monsters he encountered was already several times that before.

While in Aru Village.

Rhodes once heard the old people say that once the monsters in the desert show signs of restlessness and large-scale migration, it means that the Red King is going to lower his wrath, and there will definitely be a battle that can sweep the entire Red Sand Sea. The sandstorms brought punishments to the people.

I don’t know whether this statement is true or false.

However, according to Nasida, it is indeed very likely that there will be extreme weather recently.

"We have to hurry up."

"If we can't find a new foothold for the Tanit tribe, things will be delayed when the big sandstorm comes."

It has been four days since I returned to the desert.

With Rhodes' current foot strength.

Rushing at full speed, we were already very close to the new gathering point of the Tanit tribe that the Blazing Hunting Beast had discovered.

Unlike other desert tribes who rarely move their land after finding a suitable settlement.

The Tanit tribe is a tribe that migrates frequently.

Basically, you only stay in one area for a few years.

And now.

According to the information from the Blazing Hunters, they had just moved to a new settlement.

"The ruins of Gul City in the Thousand Valley Sands."

A fairly familiar place name.

With the map given by the Blazing Hunter, and Rhodes now knowing how to identify the direction in the desert, it is quite easy to find.

Confirming that a big sandstorm would hit soon, Rhodes' pace accelerated again. In just two days, he arrived near the Tanit tribe's gathering point marked on the map.

What gave Rhodes his wish was.

Less than a hundred miles away from the Tanit tribe, he finally encountered the Tanit tribe's hunting team.

This so-called hunting team.

There are many types of prey they hunt.

Edible plants, animals, and specialties with sales value, such as various eels and sand-fat pupae, are the targets of the hunting team.

Another one is people.

The tribesmen like to hunt travelers in the desert.

Especially the rainforest people who are still alone in scholar's clothes.

Most of the desert tribes are not interested in the knowledge of scholars. Once they are encountered by them, they will either be captured and sold, or they will be killed and robbed of their wealth. In order to prevent the Order from tracking their murder of scholars, the dead are usually left behind. No whole body left.

But the Tanit tribe is different.

After the elder Babel came to power, their tribe suddenly began to show a strong interest in the knowledge of scholars.

So on their hunting expeditions.

If they meet a scholar, they will give him good words first, and if it doesn't work, they will take him away by force. If that doesn't work, they will kill him directly according to the desert rules without leaving any evidence.

What Rhodes encountered now was the Tanit tribe's "courtesy first, then military" approach to scholars.

Looking at the naked-chested strong men with machetes hanging on their waists, they were clumsily saying honorifics and saluting themselves with etiquette they learned from nowhere, saying they were ordered by the elders. , I want to invite myself to the Tanit tribe as a guest.

These are exactly the same actions and words as when the group of Tanit tribe robbers invited old Roy when Rhodes was kidnapped.

But Rhodes is not as stubborn as old Roy.

Instead, he vividly imitated the way a normal person would encounter a robber. He shrank into a ball and asked timidly: "You guys, you won't kill me, will you?"

Several robbers looked at each other, then at the Eye of the Grass Elemental God hanging on Rhodes' waist, and immediately showed disdain on their faces, but they said politely: "Of course not, Elder Babel sincerely invites every scholar to the tribe, how could we possibly kill our guests?"

"Well, then, I'll go with you."

Rhodes fully embodies the image of a nerd in the eyes of desert people.

In fact, this is not considered acting.

After all, Rhodes had begged the Tanit tribe robbers not to kill him.

Now this is at best a repeat of the past.

The warriors of the Tanit tribe were obviously very satisfied with Rhodes' performance.

And they did fulfill their promise.

Not only did they not take excessive coercive measures, they also gave Rhodes some food and water. No matter what time it was, at least two people were staring at him even when he went to the toilet, which made Rhodes quite unhappy.

When they went out for hunting, they caught a scholar. Such an unexpected gain made these Tanit tribe warriors give up their original hunting plan. Under the order of the leader, they took Rhodes and galloped towards the Tanit tribe.

While on the road.

These robbers didn't mean to hide it at all. They kept loudly showing off that they had robbed passing merchants yesterday, and they were still discussing the fact that women in the rainforest were easier to tame than women in the desert.

He didn't take Rhode seriously at all.

Don't think about it.

Just by listening to their words, Rhodes could tell how miserable the fate of those who were kidnapped during hunting was.

Most annoying of all.

Rhodes couldn't make any unnecessary moves and could only pretend to be more afraid.

Seeing him like this, the robbers from the Tanit tribe seemed to find it very funny, so they became even more clueless, chatting all the way through, telling them all about the 'great achievements' they had done during this period. All over again.

Once was not enough, they had to say it again, and even agreed in front of Rhodes to enjoy each other's spoils tonight.

But this is a pain for Rhodes.

This was the first time he knew that his endurance and acting skills could actually reach this level.

While enduring the chattering of these bastards, and resisting the urge to slap them to death, he continued to pretend to be scared, and the more he listened to them, the more he shivered.

at last.

Just when Rhodes felt he could no longer bear it, the Tanit tribe arrived.

It is different from the impression that the small tribe lives in ruins but dreams of unifying the desert.

The real Tanit tribe was huge.

Or.

The area of ​​​​this ruins is large enough to accommodate such a large tribe of thousands of people to rest and recuperate here.

And it’s not just the size.

The biggest advantage of this settlement is the river below it.

Compared to Aru Village, which uses Red King technology to pump water directly from underground rivers to create rivers, the river in the Tanit tribe is obviously much smaller.

However, the population of the Tanit tribe is much smaller than that of Aru Village. With such a river, at least the water source is sufficient.

Look from a distance.

You can clearly see many dark shadows crawling under the river.

That's a crocodile raised by the Tanit tribe.

This is an important source of income for the Tanit tribe. They can earn a lot of money every year from the crocodile skins, essential oils, dried meat and other specialties produced by these crocodiles.

The greening situation in the tribe is also good.

This is not a green plant planted by the Tanit tribe itself. It seems that it should have been in this ruins a long time ago.

In addition to these green plants, Rhodes also saw a field full of green outside the gathering place of the Tanit tribe.

It's just not big.

The food produced is definitely not enough for such a large tribe to consume every day.

But look across the desert.

This is already a very discerning operation.

After all, most of the desert tribes that Rhodes knows about do not grow their own food to feed themselves.

This is the first time a tribe like Tanit can farm and understand farming.

Observed for a while.

Under the urging and escort of the robbers, Rhodes successfully entered the Tanit tribe.

As soon as I walked through the door.

A strong smell of spices hit your nostrils.

If you follow this smell, you will see an extremely simple workshop, where workers are using sandworm body fat to extract a pungent spice.

Judging from Rhodes' learning results during this period.

There are at least twenty violations in the sanitary environment and production process of this shoddy workshop.

"Thankfully those rainforest people can eat this spice."

"If they see such an environment, shouldn't they vomit on the spot?"
