People in Teyvat, starting from saving the grass god

"nice! You love it."

Rhodes and Disia replied in unison.

For a loyal admirer of Little Lucky Grass King, the figures of Little Lucky Grass King are naturally the most popular.

It would be nice if the details could be richer.

But that's not possible.

Because there are only a few rebellious guys who know the true face of Nasida. If they find out that a little Lucky Grass King doll with full details appears in Sumeru City.

Not to mention Rhodes, who provided the image, even a big businessman like Dolly who could influence everything had to go into exile abroad.

So there is no way.

Rhodes could only customize the doll according to the vague face on the Seven Heavens Statue.

Think of this.

Rhodes couldn't help but cursed secretly: "This damn profiteer."

That bastard Dolly, she really won't let go of any opportunity to steal money.

What about Inazuma's imported wood, the best doll craftsman in Xumi, and a lot of other things.

If Rhodes hadn't insisted on letting her color the wood carvings, she would have prepared some dye imported from Fontaine.

After a lot of repeated steps to add money.

The price of this small wooden sculpture, which is only the size of a palm, has jumped to a high price of 100,000 Morads.

She could obviously steal it, but she still wanted to give herself a wooden sculpture!

But Rhodes would not give her money.

Just one sentence and you're done.

Anyway, he now has a way to make money, and the money he can get from the breeding method of the new species of mushroom chicken is enough to offset the debt, but he just has to wait a year or two.

Dolly knew this too.

So she acquiesced to Rhodes's behavior of making an idle promise to her.

Or.

Dolly deliberately raised the price of wood carvings to such a high level.

After deceiving so many people, Rhodes was never deceived once, and he took advantage of him twice. I would always feel a little uncomfortable if I didn't deceive him once.

Finished giving gifts.

Disiya sat on the edge of the bed and told Dina Zedai some recent events in the Grand Bazaar.

Rhodes couldn't get a word in.

I simply walked around the yard alone.

Like Dolly, the Dinazedai family is also a well-known wealthy businessman in Xumiru.

Unlike Dolly, their family is engaged in serious business, and they also have a lot of cooperation with the Order.

Such a wealthy family.

The family's mansion is naturally beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Just like the small courtyard where Rhodes is staying now.

It is said to be a small courtyard, but it is not small at all.

In Sumeru City, where every inch of land is at a premium, it takes more than ten minutes to walk to Dina Zedai's private garden.

It is also in this courtyard.

Rhodes met someone he had been looking for recently but had never met.

Shazaman Humayi.

When this middle-aged man with a prim look saw Rhodes appearing in Dina Zedai's small garden, he looked confused at first, and then he remembered where he had seen Rhodes.

"Are you, Desiya's friend?"

Just like when the two met for the first time, Shazaman still had a hint of wariness in his eyes. Even though he knew that Rhodes was Disiya's friend, it still didn't make him look too good towards Rhodes.

This is actually quite understandable.

Who is Desiya?

Desert mercenary.

Then Rhodes, this guy dressed in desert folk clothing, might also be from the mercenary world.

Desert mercenaries have a bad reputation.

In particular, Shazaman had been robbed by desert mercenaries. If Kusela who was passing by had not saved his life, who knows what would have happened if he fell into the hands of those brutal mercenaries.

Therefore, Shazaman has never had a favorable impression of desert mercenaries, with the exception of Kusela and his daughter Disiya.

As long as you know these past events.

Naturally, you can understand why he has such a cold attitude towards Rhodes.

"Good morning, Mr. Shazaman."

Just like last time, Rhodes followed a standard greeting process.

only.

When Shazaman was about to go in to see Dina Zedai, Rhodes said quietly behind him: "Demon scale disease will only last four to five years at most."

"."

Shazaman stopped, his face twitched a few times, then turned back to look at Rhodes, frowned and said, "It was Disiya who told you."

"I also have a patient in my family who has magic scale disease."

Rhodes' words were concise and concise. In one sentence, Shazaman's interest was piqued.

"Is someone in your family suffering from magic scale disease?"

"how old is she?"

"What are the symptoms?"

"How is your physical condition?"

"How many meals can I eat per day?"

Shazaman didn't know how many times he had asked others this question, and he poured it all out as soon as he opened his mouth.

Rhodes answered one by one.

When he heard that Kelai, who was born with magic scale disease, could eat two bowls of rice and a full plate of vegetables at a meal, and could carry thirty or forty pounds of feed by himself, Shazaman's first reaction was disbelief. .

It is true that devil's disease becomes more severe with age.

But in general.

If you are born with magic scale disease, then by the time you are a teenager, your body will be as fragile as Dina Zede's. Not to mention able to withstand heavy objects, you will not even be able to walk when you get sick.

How come Ke Lai's symptoms are so mild?

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Disiya."

"You should know her temperament better than I do, and I won't lie to you."

Rhodes could tell at a glance what Shazaman was thinking, and immediately confidently asked him to go find Disiya to testify.

Just like Rod said.

Shazaman may not believe Rhodes, but he definitely believes in Disiya's words.

However, Shazaman did not go to Disiya to verify this matter. Instead, he pointed to the pavilion beside him and said, "Sit over there."

"it is good."

You know that as long as the topic of magic scale disease is discussed, this man who wears colored glasses towards the desert people will definitely listen to him patiently.

Rhodes always kept a smile on his face. After sitting down, he took the initiative to tell Kelai's situation without waiting for Shazaman to ask.

"Potion made from the remains of the devil"

When he heard that the root cause of Kelai's illness being so mild was here, Shazaman's eyes that were originally full of hope were once again filled with disappointment.

Demonic remnants.

Ordinary people may have never heard of this stuff.

But Shazaman is well aware of its dangers.

Even a normal person would be at risk of death if he came into contact with such a vicious thing, let alone someone with a body as frail as Dina Zedai.

And Rhodes said it too.

She was the only patient who had been injected with this medicine together with Kelai, and she was the only one who survived.

It is enough to see the risks of this medicine.

The glimmer of hope that had just been raised was gone again.

Shazaman sighed deeply, and there were more wrinkles on his forehead.

"By the way, Mr. Shazaman, can you still contact Kusela now?"

Taking advantage of the fact that the two of them still had something in common to talk about, Rhodes quickly asked about Kusela.

As soon as I heard the name Kusela.

Shazaman's expression changed again instantly.

He didn't tell anyone about Kusela, and even Desiya didn't know how Rhodes knew that he was connected with Kusela.

"Do not misunderstand."

"I know people from Akhmar's Beard."

"I know from their mouths that Kusela will be in regular contact with you."

"I also know that the last time he came to see you, it was to arrange a bodyguard job for Disiya. At that time, he had just been beaten all over his body and had to use crutches to walk."

Rhodes lied calmly.

"You know this as well?"

After the brief surprise, Shazaman no longer doubted that he was there.

Except for those very close to him, it is impossible for outsiders to know about the last time Kusela was beaten.

then.

Just listen to Rhodes say again.

"Kucela has disappeared in the desert now, and I can't contact him at all."

"The Beards of Akhmar are nowhere to be seen either."

"The only thing I know is that he was seriously injured before disappearing."

"You know that place in the desert."

"If he was seriously injured, I was afraid that Kusela would have an accident, so I just wanted to ask you if you could contact him."

"Hey."

"I won't make you laugh if I tell you."

"Actually, I came to him because of Desiya."

"Dishya told me that she had a bad relationship with her father. They had a serious fight before and we haven't seen each other since."

"I was thinking that there would be no overnight feud between father and daughter."

"It's been so long. It's time for the two of them to sit down calmly and have a good chat. It's not a problem that they keep not seeing each other like this."

Rhodes told all his thoughts half-truthfully.

I heard Shazaman shaking his head and nodding.

After a while.
