My destiny is to go to work in a world that is collapsing

The desert people active in the Xumi Rainforest are mostly the Gilded Brigade, who do bloody work on the tip of a knife. However, seeing the pilgrims of different beliefs heading to Xumi City, the hot-tempered mercenaries actually turned aside to make way, and had no intention of causing trouble for the pagans.

"Are the people in the Xumi Rainforest and the desert in a good or bad relationship?"

"The desert has lost its gods, and unlike the Inazuma Umi Island, there are no figures with enough authority such as the gods and priestesses who stand up to lead them. The overall situation is a mess. Coupled with the harsh environment, many desert people need to leave the desert to make a living, and the employers of the Gilded Brigade are often rainforest people."

Looking at Cole's appearance, it is obvious that he knows very little about the situation in the Xumi Desert. Hua Yi spoke to answer Ying's question.

Liyue is a neighboring country of Xumi, and Ningguang and Keqing have already sorted out the relevant information.

"As a result, the desert now depends on the rainforest economically, but there is a conflict of faith between the two sides. Pilgrims are special cases. They pay attention to good deeds and good rewards. They are helpful to the desert people, including practicing medicine, teaching, etc. The relationship between the Gilded Brigade and the pilgrims is not bad. However, if the two sides are too harmonious, it is not a pure good thing for the Order House that governs Xumi. There are also many pilgrims in the Order House, and the situation is quite complicated."

Before the Great Compassion Tree King disappeared in the disaster five hundred years ago, the holy tree was as spectacular as it is today, with a huge crown covering the sky and the sun, showing its sacred appearance.

But at that time, there was the previous generation of grass gods, the direction of faith was clear, and the authority of the gods' rule could not be blasphemed. The Order House received instructions from the grass gods to govern Xumi and the pattern was stable.

It is different now. The Little Auspicious Grass King has lived in the Jingshan Palace for a long time and rarely shows up. The Xumi people's belief in the Grass God has gradually been replaced by the Holy Tree that stands forever in Xumi City, can always show miracles and suppress the magic scale disease. If the Gilded Brigade and the pilgrims unite, it will be a force that can change the situation in Xumi.

Not to mention challenging the new Grass God, at least when the God does not come out, the decrees of the Church Order cannot be implemented.

As a result, the Church Order did not react to the growing number of pilgrims. The Little Auspicious Grass King still stayed in the Jingshan Palace. Hua Yi could only speculate that the God of Wisdom had other plans, otherwise it would be difficult to find a reason to leave it alone.

The original Church Order of Xumi was composed of scholars who believed in the Great Compassion Tree King. They each performed their duties, followed the will of the Great Compassion Tree King to manage Xumi, and listened to the power and philosophy of the God of Wisdom.

At the beginning of the Church Order, the Grass God personally established six colleges to represent the six different aspects of wisdom.

There have been countless schools of thought that have risen and fallen between different colleges, but only the six major schools, relying on the six major colleges, have obtained permanent teaching positions in the College of the Order after a long period of time.

Now the six major schools and the six major colleges have almost become synonymous. The highest leaders elected by these six colleges are sages, and among the six sages there are core people who serve as great sages.

Whether it is a devout belief in the grass god or a pursuit of self-To strengthen their authority, the sages should take some actions towards the belief in the Holy Tree that has grown and developed in Xumi.

Emphasizing that the Holy Tree is the embodiment of the power of the Grass God, attributing the people's faith to the God, or using the location of the Church Order in the middle of the Holy Tree, like the Tenryo Bugyo during the Inazuma Sakoku Order, they tried every means to deceive the God, secretly link the belief in the Holy Tree with the Church Order, and strengthen their own power.

But the sages seemed to do nothing.

Compared to simply thinking that the six sages who could occupy the first throne in the six major schools of the Church Order were stupid and incompetent, Hua Yi was more willing to believe that the Grass God and the Church Order had other plans.

How could Cole know that the Honor Knight had thought so much? Hearing him say that pilgrims pay attention to good deeds and good results, and some people travel thousands of miles to the desert to help the needy people, while he was just a forest ranger near the city of Hua, he was still a little embarrassed.

In fact, she is also a pilgrim. She can only live a normal life by relying on the holy tree to suppress the magic scale disease. Otherwise, even if she has the Eye of God and can control the elemental power, she can't do anything about this disease, and she may have been lying on the bed powerlessly.

"The holy tree does not select its suppressive effect on the magic scale disease. Whether the patient comes from the rainforest or the desert, they can recover in front of the holy tree, so everyone gets along harmoniously."

Looking at the Xumi holy tree, which is getting more and more spectacular as the distance approaches, even though Cole has wandered to Mondstadt and can be said to be knowledgeable, he can't help but look solemn.

An ancient tree that has stood for thousands of years, a landmark that has become a symbol of Xumi, a sacred object that can drive away evil and avoid evil, not to mention that Cole is a Xumi person, suffering from magic scale disease, and has gained substantial benefits from the holy tree, even foreign merchants can't help but stop and put their hands together like the Xumi people.

Now that the isolation order of Inazuma has ended, there are many Inazuma people in Xumi. If the Church of the Lords had not clearly stated that there is no such custom, the tourists from Inazuma might write their wishes on a small wooden board called Ema, just like visiting the Mingjin Taisha Shrine, and then find a place to hang it in Xumi City.

In the world of Honkai where there are no gods, there are still various beliefs. In the Teyvat continent where demons are everywhere, the sacred tree that can show miracles naturally occupies a very high position in the hearts of the people.

However, as they approached Xumi City, Hua Yi's expression gradually became a little strange.

Ying and Cole, who were walking in front, did not notice it, but Yulandel, who was guarding behind, noticed that the captain's face was different.

"What's wrong?"

"I found that Xumi and I are quite predestined. According to Xumi's philosophy, everything is born and everything is predestined. It's normal to think this way."

Thanks to Kamisato Ayaka, Ningguang, and Lisa who are not with Huayi at the moment, otherwise, when they hear their lover say that he is predestined with Xumi, they will inevitably say a few words for their country to prevent his heart from being stolen by Xumi.

Yulan Dai'er and Ying certainly won't worry about this. Cole took a step full of energy. Probably because she was close to the sacred tree, she felt that she was stepping onThe demon scale disease that had not recurred since the journey was completely cured.

"Please stay, is this your first time in Xumi City?"

At the gate of the city, there were a teaching officer in scholar's clothes and a brown-skinned group of thirty people to maintain order. After seeing Hua Yi and his group, they easily recognized that Ke Lai had set foot in Xumi City before, while Ying, Hua Yi, Youlan Dai'er and two unknown flying creatures were here for the first time. .
