People in Teyvat, starting from saving the grass god

“How much land can you own, as much as you can cultivate?”

"Do I get paid for my work?"

"Why don't you force us to change our beliefs? Can we build the Temple of the Flower Goddess ourselves?"

Fadna couldn't believe her ears.

This treatment is too fake!!!

Rod promised a lot.

Not only will there be land and money, but future generations will also be able to study and work like normal people, and their belief in the flower god will not need to change.

The only requirement is to obey the law and not rebel against the grass god who gave all this as before.

Relative to those benefits.

This request is really nothing.

Although Fadna, like the Red King radicals, also called Rhodes a running dog, in fact, for their small tribes, the only reason they called him that was because the rumors in the desert had demonized Rhodes too severely, almost to the extent of a man-eating demon.

To put it bluntly.

In the rumors passed down by word of mouth in these small tribes.

The name of Grass God's lackey Rod can even stop a child from crying at night.

There’s nothing I can do, it’s just that horrible!

It's just that seeing is believing, hearing is not.

to be frank.

Without looking at how Rhodes had subdued him in an instant, just looking at the young man in front of him, he really couldn't connect Rhodes with the rumored peerless ruthless man who could skin people alive into pieces without batting an eyelid.

"I know you're worried if I'm lying to you."

"Will they turn against you and take you away to do hard labor once your tribe has really moved to the oasis?"

Seeing Fadna's hesitation despite her obvious heartbreak, Rhode said with a smile, "I am the Red King's messenger, representing the Grass God. I still have to have some credibility."

"I know."

"In the desert, deception is the most common thing, so you will doubt my credibility and that of the Grass God."

"But I'm going to say something unpleasant, please don't be unhappy to hear it."

"Even if I have bad intentions, I won't do anything bad to a small tribe like yours with only a few hundred people."

"It is what it is."

"Look at your tribe. The strong laborers only number about a hundred, and the rest are the elderly, children, women and children."

"What's the point of me tricking you into doing labor?"

"If I have the time, why don't I capture the people from the God-King's Legacy? Why don't I capture the Afya tribe? What's the point of targeting a small tribe like yours with few laborers and a lot of mouths to feed?"

"Let me say something even more unpleasant."

"Why would I waste my breath and words to deceive you? Why not just arrest people directly? With the level of military power of your tribe, I can make you defeat them with both hands in ten minutes."

"Isn't that right, Madam Fardna?"

Rhodes' words are very realistic.

This made Fadna blush for no reason.

No matter what prejudices he still had against Rhodes and Grass God, he was now somewhat convinced by Rhodes.

It is indeed not worthwhile to plot any conspiracy against a poor tribe with few people, no military power and no money.

that's it.

The first tribe was persuaded by Rhodes and began to prepare for migration.

Next.

Rhodes went to other tribes and a mercenary group and used the same rhetoric to persuade them to go to the new oasis.

But after these visits.

Rod discovered.

Whether it is the desert tribe that worships the flower god or the Gilded Brigade that worships the Red King.

They all showed the same fear towards the name of the Red King's Envoy, and would almost resort to war as soon as they heard Rhodes' name.

This also made Rhodes frown after leaving these tribes.

Those bastards who were doing evil things in the desert under their own names had caused great trouble to his, Tadella's and Dishia's recruitment work.

If it is not cured.

I’m afraid that the subsequent integration of the desert will be delayed a lot.

"Don't let me know who did it."

Muttering to himself, Rhodes returned to the source of the oasis alone.

Look at the time.

This recruitment took him a whole day.

Fortunately, Nashida did not show any impatience. When she saw Rhodes coming back, she greeted him happily and told him what happened when he was away.

"The Great Compassion Tree King's consciousness has awakened again?"

This was good news, and Rhodes smiled after hearing it.

The effect of Oasis Source is really good.

Just one day.

The Great Compassion Tree King, who had been unable to communicate, woke up twice. It seemed that it would not take long for her to fully wake up.

"By the way, please help me pass a message to Dixia."

Rhodes gave his god-made void terminal to Tadla. Now the ordinary void terminal in his hand could not connect to the deep desert, so he could only rely on Nashida for help.

then.

He then told Dixia that someone was impersonating him and doing evil things in the desert, and asked her to take a look after she had dealt with the relics of the God-King, and remember to inform him if she found the person.

After getting Dishia's affirmative answer.

Nashida asked curiously, "Someone is impersonating you in the desert?"

"hold head high."

"They are just a bunch of rats. Don't take them too seriously."

Rhode snorted in dissatisfaction. "Thanks to them, the progress of desert integration has encountered considerable resistance. So don't let me find out who it is, or I will skin him alive."

"."

"It's better not to be so harsh."

That being said, Nashida did not try to persuade Rhode too much. She asked, "How is your recruitment plan going? How did the tribesmen and mercenaries respond?"

"How else can I reply? Hehe, I'm sure everyone agrees."

Rhode smiled at first, then thought of the situation of those tribes, his face darkened again, and he shook his head gently and said, "Alas, people are just that simple."

"They keep talking about reincarnation, past life, next life, and they always place their hopes on gods."

"But what about the bones?"

"What they care about most is the daily necessities of life, honor and disgrace, wealth and status, and a wife, children and a warm bed."

"So whether it's the tribesmen who dig for food in the sand every day or the desert mercenaries who work on the edge of a knife all day long, as long as there is a chance that can allow them to live a stable life, they will be willing to give up everything and desperately seize this opportunity."

"hehe--"

"In the hearts of humans, gods are never the first. They themselves are the first."

"They will pray to the gods, they will kneel before the gods, they will offer their faith to the gods, but in the end, humans never belong to the gods."

This is the end of my feelings.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat tense.

Nashida stared at Rhodes without blinking, with a thoughtful expression on her little face.

Simultaneously.

The flower seedling beside her also leaned forward slightly, and even the breeze could not move her body. It seemed that she was also thinking about Rhodes' words.

a long time.

Then Nashida asked, "Is this why you told Candice that you wanted Rahman to host the new Oasis?"

"Ah."

"correct."

"No matter how crazy a person is in faith, he will change and think when faced with reality."

Rhode spread his hands and said, "After all, humans are the most realistic creatures. Holding on to the faith of a dead god will not allow them to have enough food and warm clothes. So, no matter how crazy Rahman is or how firm his faith is, he is willing to go with me to save you. Although he still scolded me afterwards, his attitude shows that in the face of a life that can provide people with ample food and clothing, the faith in the Red King is all empty."

198. Chapter 189 Little Auspicious Grass King’s First Oracle

Chapter 189 Little Auspicious Grass King's First Oracle

three days later.

The new oasis welcomed the first wave of pioneers.

It is Fadna’s tribe.

Led by Fadna, this tribe, which was extremely weak in both military and financial resources, set foot on the land of the new oasis with trepidation and fear.

True.

When Rhodes was in their tribe, he had promised to at least provide them with enough food.

But considering his notorious reputation.

Even though Fadna knew that with Rhode's strength there was no need to deceive her, when she actually arrived at the New Oasis, she was still feeling uneasy.

As far as she knew.

Rhodes personally went to persuade more than one tribe to surrender. There were also three larger tribes.

It was just that the three companies agreed to join the reclamation of New Oasis on the surface, but secretly they packed up their bags and ran away overnight after Rhodes left.

Fadna also thought about running away like them.

But after careful consideration.

She gave up the idea and chose to test the waters in this astonishingly large new oasis to see if she could create a future for the tribe.

The desert is cruel.

The strong live, the weak die.

This is an iron rule.

No one can disobey.

Fadna's tribe is called Amna, which was previously one of the vassal tribes of the Tanit tribe. It is also one of the weakest tribes in the Thousand Valleys Sandland.

How weak was the Amna tribe?

They were so weak that the Tanit tribe only needed to send out ten warriors, without even carrying Erling weapons, to easily crush them.

When the Tanit tribe was still there.

The requirement for them is to offer Mora regularly. If Mora is not enough, they must offer children from the tribe as compensation.

Fadna knew.

These children who were forcibly abducted to pay off debts were all trained to be ruthless falcons. Even when facing their own biological parents, they would wield their butcher knives without hesitation.

Such a life.
