Chapter 63, The Life of an Apprentice (1000 per order for additional updates)
"Dragon! Why are you chasing us?" an ice elemental abyss apostle asked with a cold face.
"I'm sorry, we will protect Xumi next, and you and the Abyss Cult are our enemies." A strong man said.
"Prince, the other abyss monsters in the desert area have been cleaned up. Only here has not been cleaned up." A sandworm said after emerging from the ground.
"You will regret it." A portal appeared behind the Abyss Apostle.
Then the sandworm asked, "Prince, why did you let him go?"
"That guy is not weak, and I am still injured, so it's better not to fight to the death." said the wind-eroded sandworm.
"I see, then let's go and report back to the king."
"Okay." Then the two of them got into the ground and left quickly.
Shortly after the two left, a holder of the Eye of God with strange pupils appeared at the place where the two sides were fighting, looking at the flying snakes and the corpses of various Qiuqiu people on the ground.
The visitor couldn't help but complain: "What are these monsters doing?"
Several more sand people came here later, and one of them complained: "Candace, you ran too fast."
"It's like this again." An old sand warrior looked at this scene and frowned, "What are these flying snakes and sandworms going crazy about recently? Many Qiuqiu people's camps have been overturned by them recently. ”
In fact, what the flying snakes mainly want to kill is the abyss mage hidden among the Qiuqiu people. The Qiuqiu people and so on are actually incidental.
But these Qiuqiu people who had their camps destroyed were not so easy to deal with.
These Qiuqiu people after being killed will be resurrected by the earth's veins, but without the constraints of the camp, these Qiuqiu people will wander around. Most of the strongholds and camps chosen by these Qiuqiu people are uninhabited areas.
But once they wander, the area where they wander will naturally be a populated place, and no matter how bad it is, there will always be trade routes where caravans pass by.
Even Aru Village, which was protected by Candice, the original god, was attacked by several waves of Qiuqiu people not long ago.
For this reason, they had to organize several teams to investigate the matter.
Then the above scene occurred.
This is the largest Qiuqiu camp they know of nearby, but they didn't expect that they were too slow to hurry up and the Qiuqiu people here were also eliminated.
And although this camp is not completely destroyed, the number of Qiuqiu people it can carry can be expected to decline a lot.
At that time, it is estimated that many Qiuqiu people will have no choice but to wander out, and various caravans and tribes will naturally be impacted by the Qiuqiu people.
"What the hell is going on?" Candice couldn't help complaining after looking around.
The treasure chests in the camp were safe and sound, and even the various ingredients had not disappeared.
It's like the flying snakes and sandworms came here for no other reason than to kill these Qiuqiu people.
But... who are you kidding? Why don't these flying snakes act like this earlier or later? But they act like this at this time.
"Let's go, it's still the same as those camps." Candace called on the others to retreat.
At this time, the Qiuqiu people had begun to be resurrected one after another. If they didn't leave, they would be surrounded by this large Qiuqiu people tribe.
Although Candice is confident that she can get out, it does not mean that others can get out unharmed.
After Candice brought people back to Aru Village, others also came back one after another with their own harvests.
"Is that still the case?" Candace asked.
"Yes." The other mercenaries nodded.
"Hey, prepare for the onslaught of monsters. By the way, tell the passing caravans about this. This onslaught of monsters is expected to last for some time." Candice said helplessly.
In fact, just the impact on Aru Village is not a big deal. After all, the terrain of Aru Village is relatively dangerous, and it is relatively simple to defend against the impact of monsters. The important thing is that the business roads will also be affected at the same time.
It's okay for a short time, but if it takes a long time, it won't work, because the resources within the village cannot be completely recycled.
Especially salt and spices, both of which rely too much on the purchase of caravans.
Aru Village was discussing, and a caravan arrived at Aru Village with the help of a group of mercenaries.
In the past, most of these desert caravans used their own people, but this time it was obvious that they could not do it alone, so they hired some additional mercenaries.
"Candace! Long time no see." A voice rang.
"It's Desiya." The visitor made Candice smile, "I haven't seen you for a while."
"You go first and buy what you can buy from the caravan passing by. I will receive my friends."
"Yes, guardian." The warrior from Aru Village bowed and left.
"Candice, you should really go to Xumi City for a walk now." Desiya said with a smile.
"Is there something wrong? Huh? It's not your strength?" Candice soon discovered something was wrong. Disiya seemed to have become stronger, and the extent of this increase was a bit abnormally strong.
"Haha~ This is the credit of the Baoyu Potion. Now the Health House has begun to provide unlimited supply to each Xumi Ji's original god." Disiya said.
"Jade potion?" Candice was a little confused.
"This is a medicine that can break the body's limits safely and without side effects. It is provided for free in the name of Little Lucky Grass King, so even sand people like us can go and get it." Disiya said.
"Thank you to the selfless little Lucky Grass King. If it weren't for her, life for us sand people would be very difficult." Candice couldn't help but said that although she was a believer in Ahmar, this did not prevent her from Respect from the Little Lucky Grass King.
After all, no matter what, Little Lucky Grass King is a genuine god.
The group of scholars who believe in the Little Lucky Grass King in the rain forest is also the most tolerant group towards the sand people, and there are even many sand people in it.
Nowadays, the faith of the Sand People is not as strong as it was for hundreds of years (they only believe in the Flower God and Ahmar). Most of the current Sand People's priests believe in the Supreme Heaven, and only a small number of priests believe in Ahmar.
Most ordinary warriors believe in Akhmar, but most female warriors believe in the Flower Goddess.
Some entire tribes believe in some saints, and some people who often go to the rainforest believe in the Little Lucky Grass King.
The priests who believe in the Supreme Heaven are not united. Some of them believe in Saint Nathan Les, some believe in the King of Grass and Trees, and some simply believe in the Supreme Heaven itself.
Others try to incarnate their faith themselves.
However, Aru Village is still dominated by the relatively traditional Akhmar faith. As for what the villagers believe in privately, the village's senior officials actually turn a blind eye.
After all, faith can really bring substantial power, especially when you believe in the supreme heaven.
Belief in the Supreme Heaven can strengthen one's connection with the Supreme Heaven and gain higher spiritual affinity. This is already a secret recognized by the priests.
"Is it a potion that breaks the limits of the body? I don't know if it will be sold to the outside world." Candice thought more.
"It's for sale, but I guess not many of us sand people can afford it. Even in a group of thirty, there are probably only a few powerful warriors with their own titles who can afford it when they have the subsidy from the Order Academy." "Dishiya said, "I heard that the raw materials alone are worth tens of millions of molas."
"Then why is it provided to Genshin Impact for free?" Candice asked.
"Hey~ who knows about this kind of thing." Dixia didn't care about this, and not many people knew the news. She only found out about it because of her friend Dina Zedei who often needed to go to the health home to take care of her body. of.
"Speaking of it, the style of the Order Academy has changed quite a lot recently." Desiya said, "There seems to be a potion called an intelligence development potion that has been spread among scholars. It is said to be able to develop intelligence and inspire inspiration."
"Then this one, and by the way, this one has become popular recently." Disiya took out a few bags with peaches painted on them from her pocket. "I know this. Many caravans sell this product for brewing. In desert areas, both peach and raspberry flavors are very popular." Candice said, "I still have a few bags there. Raspberry flavored.”
"It seems that these businessmen are much more capable than I thought." Desiya handed the bag to Candice.
"I'm not as capable as I thought. They only have a small amount of goods." Candice said, "I just borrowed the light from being close to Kavanyi here, otherwise I wouldn't be able to drink it often."
"Speaking of which, what happened to the last time Candice wrote to ask you to investigate?" Desiya asked.
"There is no Sameer you mentioned in Aru Village, but there is a mercenary named Sameer who has been quite active in recent years." Candice said, "But that Sameer is a man."
"Is there something wrong with this Sameer?"
"Not at all. Some time ago, Dina Zede met a desert man who called himself Sameer on the street. The two had a good chat. In the end, Sameer helped Dina Zede suppress the magic scale disease." Shia said.
"A priest who can suppress demon scale disease? Hmm~ That's really rare. Now the priests have shifted their attention to attacks." Candice said, "Wait a minute... I seem to have some ideas."
"Follow me."
Candice brought Disiya to her home. As the guardian of Aru Village, there are not only a lot of exercise equipment, but also a lot of books.
"This is the Who's Who in Aru Village." Candice said, "Come and check it out for me."
The two began to flip through the book.
"Look at this, is it this person?" Desiya handed a page to Candice.
"The great alchemist from five hundred years ago, Sameer Kuru, was one of the founders of the Kuru family, a family of Sulon scholars." Candice nodded, "Although the records did not mention that she had psychic powers, But the appearance description is almost the same, this should be the person you are looking for.”
Originally, Desiya was thinking of retorting.
But thinking of the strange attitude of the Order Council, he shut up. Maybe this Sameer was really a person from hundreds of years ago.
This is really the end of life.
"Is it okay if I copy it?" Desiya asked.
"No problem." Candice said, it's not an important book anyway.
It cannot be said that every villager in Aru Village has this list of celebrities, but it can be said that one in two or three households has it.
Disiya wrote down all the recorded information and prepared to show it to Dina Zedei when the time comes.
Then the two started chatting between girls, such as which kind of long-term drink is good for the skin and rich in nutrients, which skin care products are easier to use, which cosmetics are more expensive, etc.
······
"Samer, why are you so stunned? It's your turn to draw a card." Kuru said.
"It's nothing, it's just that someone mentioned me while chatting," Sameer said.
In fact, a few people were playing Summon of the Seven Saints, which is a very traditional game with Sumeru, so they started playing it without any lag at all.
The King of Crocodiles and the King of Ibis have always had different opinions and debates. This is also the reason why there are two players in Summoning the Seven Saints.
"I didn't expect that Your Majesty the Little Lucky Grass King is really a small Your Majesty." said Batu, who was watching the battle.
"Although he is very young, he is also very majestic." Baanka, who was also watching the battle, said, "And he also has the knowledge to understand the world."
"Hetara just sent a potion, why haven't you come back yet?"
"Maybe he went to see the handsome guy. That guy is old-hearted." Samer complained, "Some time ago, he told me that he saw a handsome guy from the Intellectual Sect."
"Speaking of the Intellectual School, the current Intellectual School is getting worse and worse. Although the number of students has increased a lot, it is obviously not as elite as before." Kulu pushed up his glasses and said.
These were specially prepared flat glasses. After reshaping his body, his short-sightedness naturally disappeared, and Kuru no longer had to wear thick glasses.
But he may have been wearing glasses for a long time, and Kulu was not used to wearing glasses, so he finally got a pair of plain glasses.
"After all, the requirement that graduates need to master twenty languages has been removed." Samer said, "It is also foreseeable that the quality of students will decline."
"But there are still some elite scholars." Baanka said, "For example, the little girl from a hundred years ago."
"Isn't she from the Miaolun sect?" Batu scratched his head.
"She is from the Zhilun sect, but she has also studied some Mysticism sect knowledge." Baanka said, "Speaking of which, I also met a more interesting junior recently."
"You would never guess who is the richest man in Xumi now? How old is he?"
"Dolly Sange Mahabhai is known as the all-powerful Sumeru super businessman." Baanka said with emotion, "Today's generation is really exaggerating. He has become the richest man at a young age. And I heard that That little guy is almost as good as me.”
Back then, Baanka could be said to have started from scratch, and his family's small shop only provided him with a certain amount of financial support in the early stages.
In the subsequent business expansion and business war, that small shop did not play any role at all.
But even today, hundreds of years later, that small shop is still open, because Baanca said that he liked that small shop.
In addition, the families of Baanka, Batu and Kulu are still spread among the upper classes of Sumeru.
The Kuru family is still a famous family of scholars. Although no one has served as a sage or great sage after Kuru, the Havana family has not stopped passing through the generations.
Baanka's family is similar. They are a well-known family of scholars and merchants who have a monopoly on the public camel business of the Order.
He is very good at monetizing academic achievements and has also been committed to charity. He donates to health homes everywhere every year and is one of the financial backers behind health homes and rural doctors everywhere.
Batu's family is still rooted in the health home system. Although it is not as prominent as the previous two families, but with peace of mind and development, the family has the largest number of people.
Currently, there are as many as 873 people in the Xumi Medical System who inherit the name of Batu and have direct descendants with the surname of Batu.
There are also some people who work outside the medical system, such as rangers and scholars, and there are also but few businessmen.
Of course, the power of the four of them is deep-rooted. Although it seems inconspicuous, it is very deep into the entire country of Sumeru.
In comparison, Hertara's power in Mondstadt is much inferior. Although it appears to be the leader of Mondstadt's wine industry and one of the three nobles, look at the situation of Cripps. , Leigenfend, that is, the situation of the Knights of the Dawn family in Mondstadt is not easy, they just have money.
By the way, the four of them had actually formed a covenant before they were alive.
They are a very harmonious alliance. If someone dares to target members of the three families in Xumi like this, he will face not only commercial suppression, but also military coercion.
Although the three families' own family strength is not weak, they are better at driving the system of the Order.
Borrowing the power of the Holy Order to achieve their own goals is a political method that the three families have become very skilled at.
Don't tell me, although this method looks soft, it is like weak water. It is extremely soft, but it is also extremely strong.
Several arrogant people who had targeted the alliance were easily dealt with.
Of course, this alliance also has many peripheral members, such as the Tinale people, employees of the Banka family caravan, and some students from the Kulu family and the Batu family.
"Our juniors are not bad, unlike Hetara. That guy's juniors are completely barbaric. That is to say, Diluc is better. In the end, Hetara didn't pay much attention to the cultivation of her juniors." Anka said.
Hetara was quite obsessed with the research of alchemy potions back then. The training of the family's descendants was basically the responsibility of her husband Slaifen. She just produced the intelligence development potion.
"But in the final analysis, there is a Diluc, but our families don't have a single original god in this generation." Kulu said.
It’s a pity that 1,000 monthly tickets are even worse. Yesterday I also asked for monthly tickets in the group, but unfortunately not many people have them.
