People in Teyvat, starting from saving the grass god

The Amna tribe passed away for many years.

It was not until the Tanit tribe was exterminated by the people of Aru Village that the haze that had shrouded these tribes, which were originally vassal tribes of Tanit, finally dissipated.

But the good days didn’t last long.

The Red King's messenger, who was believed to be a demon in the desert, came to visit in person.

Although no violent means were used and very tempting promises were made, Fadna was still very worried that her tribe would fall into the wolf's den just after escaping from the tiger's mouth.

Those tribes that agreed to recruit and then immediately ran away also had the same concerns.

But after discussing with the elders, Fadna finally reached a consensus.

Take a gamble!

If the bet wins, the children of Amna will no longer have to worry about not having enough food to eat and being enslaved.

If you lose the bet.

Anyway, with the strength of the Amuna tribe, it will be enslaved by others sooner or later. Being enslaved by other big tribes is slavery, and being enslaved by the Aru Village is also slavery. There is no big difference in essence.

With this kind of broken jar mentality.

Fadna led the entire tribe, taking the few belongings they had, and according to the agreement with Rhodes, they set out from early morning and walked until the afternoon, and arrived in front of the giant tree in the center of the oasis.

"Tsk, tsk, you're the only one here."

Rhodes greeted him with an expression of no surprise.

He guessed that those tribes and the Gilded Brigade would not listen to his promises so easily.

And he was prepared for no one to come.

It is a pleasant surprise that a tribe from Fadna is willing to come.

"Lord God's Messenger."

"There are a total of 374 people in the Amuna tribe. All of them are here."

Fadna's attitude was very humble. As soon as they met, she bent her knees and prepared to prostrate herself respectfully with the same etiquette as when she met Mistress Tanit.

This is the highest etiquette for a lower tribe to pay homage to a higher tribe.

It is also the only courtesy.

The desert cannot accommodate people who are neither humble nor arrogant and have backbone.

When facing a superior, they either prostrate themselves on the ground and kowtow, or their entire clan and land are wiped out. Their heads are piled up into skull towers to warn other disobedient tribes, and their bodies are used as fertilizer to feed fish and grow crops.

just.

Fadna, who had put herself in the position of an inferior, found that she could not bend down no matter what before she could completely bow down, as if there was an invisible force supporting her.

"stand up."

"You don't need to kneel here."

Rod raised his hand slightly, and a breeze blew past, lifting Fadna's half-kneeling body up. Along with it, there was a sentence: "From now on, you will no longer need to kneel to others in the desert."

However, Fadna did not burst into tears of gratitude or become ecstatic because she was not allowed to kneel.

Instead, she said with great fear and trepidation, "Lord Messenger of God, our Amuna tribe will follow in your footsteps and will not have the slightest second thought. Please do not abandon us, I beg you."

Kneeling for too long.

Fadna had long forgotten what it felt like to stand up.

in her cognition.

If the superiors do not allow the vassal tribes to kneel down, it means that they do not accept the loyalty of the vassal tribes.

The consequences of this attitude are predictable.

"Ugh--"

Rhodes did not blame Fadna for her attitude of kneeling down no matter what. Instead, he looked at Nashida who had been watching from the sidelines.

On Nashida's face, he saw a host of complex emotions including pity, sadness, sympathy, etc.

once Upon a time.

The people of the desert are just as proud as the people of the rainforest.

Now, in order to survive, I have become what I am now.

So Rhode changed direction and said again: "Fadna, let me ask you a question."

"Sir, I will tell you everything you know."

"Whose people do you think you are?"

".?"

Fadna was confused by Rhodes' question.

Yes.

Whose people are you?

Fadna subconsciously wanted to say that they were the people of the flower goddess Nabu Marikata.

But the words haven't been spoken yet.

She stopped the urge to say that.

Nabu Marikata, the goddess of flowers, has passed away.

The Red King Akhmar, who ruled the desert, also passed away.

If you look at it this way.

"I'm."

"I am a subject of Lord Grass God."

Fadna said cautiously.

She felt very unsure.

Rhodes is the messenger of the Red King and the spokesperson of the God of Grass. Theoretically, this answer should be correct.

"What about your tribe?" Rhodes asked.

"Of course, so is it."

"What about the other desert people in the desert?"

".We are all the people of Lord Grass God."

"Good answer."

Rhodes nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Nashida again.

then.

Nashida was seen floating up slowly, covered in green light. She touched the source of the oasis with one hand and placed the other hand on her chest, solemnly announcing.

"In the name of the Grass God."

"I declare."

"All the people of Xumi are equal and do not need to kneel down to others."

These words were not spoken only to the people of the Amna tribe.

It was like a wave, sweeping in all directions.

In an instant.

Everyone living in Xumi, whether they are locals, foreigners, rainforest people, or desert people, can all hear Nashida's voice clearly.

The people of the Amna tribe were even more silent, staring in amazement at Nashida performing her miracle.

They never thought that the seemingly inconspicuous little girl next to Rhodes was actually the Grass God of Xumi.

Even more unexpected for them.

It was the Lord Grass God who actually issued the oracle himself, granting them the status of being able to live together on an equal footing with others.

And it's not just them.

As soon as this oracle came out.

The people of the desert will no longer be divided into high and low classes, and their children will no longer have to be as servile to those in power as they were.

By instinct.

The people of the Amna tribe wanted to kneel down to Nashida again.

Still the same, they still failed to kneel down.

the only difference.

This time they reacted quickly, and under the leadership of Fadna, they took the initiative to ask Rhodes and Nashida what they needed to do.

As one of the first people to settle in the new oasis.

Rhodes's arrangement for them was simple.

Within the designated area, the members of the Amuna tribe can first set up camp, rest and cultivate the land as required, and wait for the arrival of the large force from Aru Village before making new overall arrangements.

After Fadna and her people left happily.

After a long silence, Nashida said with emotion: "You are right, their requirements are indeed very simple."

Just a fair identity, one that will no longer subject future generations to bullying.

It's that simple.

"Yes."

Rhode rubbed his nose and then laughed: "Hehe, in this case, your faith in the desert may be higher than that in the rainforest."

"."

Narcida was speechless.

Giving the desert people an identity where they can coexist equally with the rainforest people can indeed help win over the majority of the desert people who live in poverty.

same.

This decision will also lead to resistance from many rainforest people.

This is a historical legacy that cannot be resolved in a short period of time.

"Do you have any good ideas?"

Nashida sat on the roots of a tree at the source of the oasis, tending to the leaves of the seedlings while asking Rhodes questions.

Before going to treat Apep.

The conflict between rainforests and deserts has always been a major issue on the table.

Nashida had been troubled by this for a long time.

do not know why.

Even though she, as the God of Wisdom, could not solve such problems, when she met Rhodes, Nashida always felt that Rhodes would be able to solve these problems. It was as if she had unknowingly developed a deep dependence on this human.

Rhodes did not disappoint Nashida.

In response to the opposing question she raised, Rod also expressed some of his personal thoughts.

"First, education is the most important thing. It is very important to eliminate the hatred between rainforest people and desert people through education."

"Second, the law. Under the premise of prohibiting insults and fighting without reason, we must not go too far. We must not allow the rainforest people to continue to be unreasonably hostile to the desert people, nor allow the desert people to take advantage of the law to ride on the heads of the rainforest people. Those who deliberately violate the law and knowingly break the law will be severely punished, with the highest penalty being the death penalty."

"Third, employment. Xumi's official employment resources can be distributed equally. Desert people are not only good at killing and robbing. There are also some geniuses in hunting, farming and production. Especially for desert people who have been educated, they must be given fair employment opportunities. They cannot learn knowledge but have nowhere to use it."

"Fourth, social welfare must be fair and just. Whatever the rainforest people have, the desert people have too. Everyone is the same. It can be adjusted appropriately according to the environment, but the water must be equal and no one side should be favored."

"Fifth, entertainment activities. Well, for example, the rainforest has a flower god birthday festival to celebrate your birthday, and the desert also has a festival to celebrate the birthday of the Red King. Desert people like Dixia can participate in the flower god birthday festival, so it is reasonable to invite rainforest people to participate in the Red King's birthday. Let different cultures communicate, everyone understands each other, and in-depth exchanges will naturally eliminate many differences."

He said a lot in one breath.

Rhodes paused, thought for a moment, and added, "That's all I can think of for now, but remember, don't be anxious. Don't be anxious. It's not something that can be accomplished in the short term to eliminate the barriers between the rainforest and the desert, to eliminate the differences and hostility between them. It may take the next generation, or even the next generation, for them to truly become one big family."

"Oh, by the way, part of the sand-proof wall can be dismantled slowly."
