People in Teyvat, starting from saving the grass god

At least the sound of reading can make people happy physically and mentally, and won't make her feel depressed for several days.

Except for Farusan who joined temporarily and Setale who had made an appointment long ago.

There were two other people traveling with Rhodes this time.

Shazaman and Dina Zedai.

Due to the demonic scale disease, Dina Zedai had basically not left the area of ​​Xumi City for several years, let alone travel to the desert area.

But after Rhodes' strong persuasion and assurance that he had a way to help Dina Zedai relieve her fatigue from the long journey, Shazaman finally agreed to it.

He had only one request, which was that he must go along.

So Rhodes went on this trip.

Finally, there is a carriage to ride in and I don’t have to rely on my own two feet to cross the rainforest anymore.

It was because of Dina Zedai's physical problem that she stopped and started on the road, and her speed was nothing compared to Rhodes' own.

Know that she is a patient with Demon Scale Disease.

Falushan and Setale also expressed their understanding without saying anything further.

that's it.

This journey took nearly three times longer than the previous one before we slowly left Kawanyi and officially entered the desert area.

The climate in desert areas is very different from that in rainforest areas.

Although the climate in Kawanyi, which is located at the junction of the two, has begun to change greatly.

But when passing through the city gate of Kawanyi and officially stepping into the desert area.

The temperature suddenly soared, the air was unbearably dry to the skin, and the gusts of wind that could come out at any time and hit the face like a knife.

This sudden change in climate soon caused Dinazedai to feel uncomfortable and she began to cough violently.

In this regard.

Rhodes had already prepared a response.

He took out a leaf and handed it to Dina Zedai, saying, "Put this on your body, it will relieve your symptoms."

Done.

He even turned around to explain to the others: "The new research results of the Sulun School can effectively isolate the impact of the desert climate."

And the changes in Dina Zedai also confirmed his words.

She had just been coughing uncontrollably, but she stopped coughing immediately after grabbing the leaf in her hand, and a healthy blush appeared on her originally bloodless face.

"This, this is?"

Feeling the familiar warmth, Dina Zedai blinked and looked at Rhodes in surprise.

Same expression.

It also appeared on Shazaman.

But unlike Dina Zedai, he asked: "Do you still have this kind of thing? How much is it?"

The Humayi family's caravan often does business in the desert. With this good thing that can greatly alleviate the impact of severe climate, a lot of unnecessary losses can be reduced.

"These are just experiments, they haven't been put into mass production yet."

"I will let you know when the finished product can be mass-produced."

Rhodes found a random reason to reject Shazaman, and then gave Dina Zedai a look.

Unlike the other people in the car.

Dina Zede had experienced Nashida's power firsthand.

Although it was just a voice communication in a dream at that time, she would never mistake the familiar residual power belonging to Nashida on this leaf.

Seeing Rhodes's eyes.

Dina Zede, who had just had doubts, immediately had the answer to her doubts. She then smiled brilliantly and put the leaf that condensed Nashida's power into her pocket as if it were a treasure.

Solve Dina Zedai's problem.

The carriage set off again.

When the road built by the Order of the Imam came to an end, the flat and neat new road funded by Dolly appeared in front of everyone.

Everyone else is fine.

Only Setale's eyes suddenly froze.

“When was such a road built in the desert?”

I heard the question murmured from her mouth.

Rod laughed and said, "It was built by Master Sangge Mahabayi."

"Sanggo Mahabayi, Master?"

“Is it the Dolly Sango Mahabayi who has worked a lot with the Fatwa?”

Setale is the assistant of the Great Sage and knows more things than others, including the name Dolly that often appears in the Great Sage's mouth.

only.

Scholars of the House of the Decrees have always looked down upon businessmen.

Having stayed in the House of the Decrees for a long time, Setale inevitably developed the habit of looking at people through tinted glasses.

For Dolly.

Her impression was that he was a very rich but unscrupulous businessman with a bad reputation.

Under the indoctrination of the great sage's ideas.

She also believed that without the connivance of the Fatwa Council, Dolly Sangge Mahabayi would never have been able to acquire the wealth she has today.

So in this case.

Dolly Sanga Mahabai should be grateful to the Majlis instead of breaking the rules set by the Majlis.

But now, in addition to illegal road construction.

She discovered that Dolly's people even charged tolls to passing pedestrians and convoys.

This made Setale's dissatisfaction with Dolly rise directly to the level of justice.

"She built a road without permission and collected a large amount of tolls, which destroyed the trade balance between the desert and rainforest areas. I will write a letter to the Faith Court to report her actions."

But what she didn't expect was.

As soon as she finished her words, she was greeted by Rhodes' slightly mocking look and smile.

"Come on, senior sister, put away your pitiful sense of justice."

This attitude was completely different from the way he treated her in the House of Religion, and Setale was stunned.

And it's not just Rhodes.

The expression on Falushan's face when she looked at her was also very strange.

It's that expression of not understanding, yet seeming to have something to say.

then.

Rhode looked at Shazaman and said, "Master Shazaman, you are also a businessman. You are the most qualified to speak on this matter. So please tell me, a senior who has never left the Order Academy, whether this road is good or bad!"

"hehe."

Shazaman did not refuse and said with a smile: "Ms. Setale, you probably don't understand how difficult it was for us merchants to trade with the desert area in the past, right?"

"I know."

Setare frowned.

She came from the desert, how could she not know?

"Oh? You know it."

"Then why did you say you were going to report this road?"

Shazaman had some doubts on his face, but he explained seriously: "With this road, the trade routes between us merchants in the rainforest and the desert will be easier and faster, and the transaction volume will be much larger than before. It will also be more convenient for us to communicate back and forth. As for the toll issue, this road was built with private funds from Master Sangge Mahabayi, not from the House of Religious Orders. Is there any problem with her collecting the money? What's more, she didn't ask for an exorbitant price. It's all reasonable tolls, the same as the standards set by the House of Religious Orders in other areas."

There is one more thing Shazaman didn't say.

"We businessmen have not raised any objections. What right do you, a member of the House of Religious Orders, have to express your boring sense of justice here?"

In fact, there is no need to say it.

Just by looking at his eyes, Setale knew that he was definitely not thinking of anything good.

However, Setale did not get angry because of Rhodes and Shazaman's rudeness to her in this matter. Instead, she pursed her lips, lifted the curtain of the car, and carefully observed the vehicles and pedestrians passing by on this road.

The road is not yet completed.

Now only one side is open to traffic and pedestrians.

There is a brightly colored thick line between the road for vehicles and pack animals and the road for pedestrians. The road is also divided into lines and has some eye-catching and bright text signs, which can effectively prevent people from cutting in and avoiding accidents.

Just like Shazaman said.

When passing the toll station, no one raised any objections. Everyone lined up quietly to pay the toll and then continued towards Aru Village.

Of course.

There is a group of Gilded Brigade stationed here that look like they are not to be trifled with. Judging from their attire, they should be Dolly's trusted confidants, responsible for ensuring the safety of the place and preventing anyone from causing trouble or disrupting order.

"This style of road construction is quite different from the Miaolun School."

After observing for a long time, Setale sat back down, without mentioning the report again, and whispered a few words with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

Immediately.

She suddenly thought of something and looked up at Rhodes and asked, "Did you design this road?"

"No, not me."

Rhodes shook his finger and said, "This road was designed by Kawi. I just gave him some suggestions."

"Kavi."

Setare frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Is it the talented architect Kawi who graduated from the Miaolun School?"

"Well, it's him."

Rhodes said meaningfully: "I specially invited him to redesign the village. By the way, Master Sangge Mahabayi is also an investor I brought in for the village. What you see now and what you will see when you arrive in the village are all built with her investment."

No need to go into further details.

Setale had understood.

Kavi and Dolly were definitely important factors in Rhodes's ability to obtain the Red King's gift.

I looked again at the road beneath my feet, which seemed to have no end in sight.

She just did a quick calculation and was shocked by the cost of building the road.

And I heard from passers-by that it only took half a year to build half of such a long road.

Planning, design, construction and completion took only half a year.

These words go together.

In addition to being amazed at Dolly's terrifying wealth, Setale was also impressed by her terrifying execution efficiency.

If it were in Xumi City.

With the same amount of work, it would take at least three to five years to complete.

'Did you attract a wealthy investor to build a road for the village that would benefit future generations and bring more prosperous trade?'

Setale didn't say anything else, but just pondered over Rhodes' words thoughtfully, and at the same time was full of anticipation for the Aru Village that she was about to enter.

On this wide new road.

The carriage moves much faster than walking on the broken road on weekdays.

It didn't take too long.

The outline of Aru Village appeared in everyone's sight.
