Chapter 192 Desert
Chapter 192 Desert
"Well, I guess I'll have to go ask the person involved what to say."
After Jiang Xun finished speaking, his figure disappeared directly in Xumi. He came back a few hours later, but the expression on his face was a little strange.
"Where did you go? I just felt that you left Xumi."
Seeing Jiang Xun coming back again, Nashida asked curiously.
"I went to meet a friend. As for the result, she didn't tell me clearly."
Jiang Xun didn't say who it was, but Nashida roughly guessed the identity of that friend.
"Is it Inazuma's Thunder General?"
Jiang Xun nodded when she heard that. She was going to see Ying, but Ying seemed to know that her Heart of God was no longer in Inazuma's hands. She also seemed to know in whose hands the Heart of God was now. But whenever Jiang Xun asked her, there was always a hesitant expression on her face, as if she was unwilling to talk about it.
Helplessly, Jiang Xun had to come back with doubts, but Ying asked Jiang Xun to tell her when he saw the god.
Jiang Xun didn't know what this idiot was hiding, but since even the God of Thunder was not in a hurry, Jiang Xun could only wait and watch.
Jiang Xun, who had nothing to do for a while, started chatting with Nashida again: "Nashida, are there any places in Xumi where the skeletons of other demon gods are buried?"
Jiang Xun asked curiously.
"What's the matter? Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
Nashida was curious why Jiang Xun wanted to know about this matter.
"Just interested."
"I have been trapped here for the past five hundred years, so I don't know much about these things. However, from what I know, the Red King seems to have his own mausoleum. As for the location, it should be in the desert."
Nashida reported the information of the Red King's tomb without hesitation.
Her tone was childish. Fortunately, Jiang Xun didn't know about the entanglement between her and the Red King, otherwise he would have thought that Nashida was instigating him to dig up other people's graves.
desert?
Jiang Xun then remembered that Xumi was a country composed of rainforests and deserts, with two different ecological environments separated by sand-proof walls.
Considering that it would be impossible for Azar to complete the entire god-making plan in a short period of time, Jiang Xun decisively left Xumi City and headed straight for the desert.
After a while, a huge barrier appeared, which perfectly blocked the sand outside. Moreover, this kind of power was obviously beyond human power. It was probably done by the previous grass god who could control the power of plants to form a sand-proof wall.
Jiang Xun crossed the sand-control wall and what came into view was a sea of yellow. The golden sand looked very dazzling under the sun. Although Jiang Xun would not be affected by the environment, he himself was not familiar with this land.
It’s better to ask someone for directions.
Fortunately, Jiang Xun had not walked far when a village appeared in front of him. Jiang Xun hurriedly headed towards the direction of the village.
Entering the village, a woman with blue hair and heterochromatic eyes walked towards Jiang Xun and said, "Welcome to Aru Village, foreign traveler. I am Candice, the guardian of the village."
The woman's tone was neither humble nor arrogant, but it did not give people a feeling of superiority.
"Hello, I'm Jiang Xun, a historian from Liyue. I came to Xumi to study the history of the desert."
Jiang Xun had to make up a new identity for himself every time he came to a new country. No one knew it anyway, and she couldn't ask him for proof of identity.
"Historian, is there anything that can prove my identity?"
?
Jiang Xun was stumped by the other party's words. He didn't expect that his usual tried-and-true rhetoric would fail here.
"Sir, please show me your identification, otherwise I have the right to doubt your intentions." Seeing that Jiang Xun did not immediately go to get his ID, Candice subconsciously frowned.
"Wait, I just accidentally forgot where it is. Here you go." Jiang Xun then took out a certificate. Candice took it, looked at it herself, and nodded.
"I'm sorry for being rude to you, but recently someone has been trying to attack the villagers, so I have to be on guard." Seeing that the identity of the person was correct, Candice immediately expressed her apologies.
Jiang Xun took back the "certificate" and took a closer look. It was just a piece of white paper. It was only after a spell was cast on it that Candice thought it was a certificate. As for what she saw, Jiang Xun really didn't know, because the paper would only show what the person wanted to see. God knows what Candice thought the passport was like.
"It's okay. I just came to ask for directions. I'll be leaving in a moment."
Jiang Xun waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care about what had just happened.
"Please tell me. If I know anything, I will tell you everything."
Seeing that the other party didn't care about her rude attitude just now, Candice was even more certain that Jiang Xun was most likely not a member of the Church Order or the Gilded Journey.
After all, those people in the Order looked down on the people of the desert. My rude attitude just now was enough to irritate them. As for the Gilded Brigade, those hot-tempered guys probably wouldn't even bother to find an identity, but would choose to attack by force.
"My research direction is the history of gods in various countries. I have heard the story of the Red King of the Desert. Do you know anything about it?"
When Candice heard the name "Red King", a hint of pride appeared in her eyes. Obviously, for the people of the desert, the Red King is their belief, and even she is no exception.
"Lord Chi Wang? I have heard his stories since I was a child. I wonder what news you want to know."
"Where is his grave?"
?
Candice was just about to introduce the glorious deeds of the Red King to this outsider, but she didn't expect that this guy would want to find the Red King's tomb right away.
"Well, don't get me wrong. We in Liyue usually like to interpret the meaning of some great people from their articles or words after their death in order to understand their life. Just do as you say."
Jiang Xun found that his map of Yan State was too short, which aroused suspicion. He added a few more pieces of cloth to the map on the spot and was able to get away with it.
"I see. Although it's strange, I respect your customs." Candice then told the location of the Red King's Mausoleum that she had heard about. Although it was a legend, there would definitely be some deviation from the actual location, but it would definitely not be too far off.
However, out of respect for the other party, Jiang Xun still gritted his teeth and listened to the series of stories about the Red King's life.
"Okay, thank you for telling me. I still need to go on a field trip, so I won't stay any longer."
Seeing that the story was finally over, Jiang Xun could no longer contain his excitement and said goodbye immediately.
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. It's really nice chatting with you. I hope we can continue next time."
Jiang Xun said that he didn't want to hear about the glorious deeds of King Chi again.
