Chapter 1265: A small classroom in Aru Village, the eve of the battle, God's will

the next day.

An early morning before the sun comes out.

In the cave, Ying looked at those pairs of shining eyes.

The children of Aru Village sat upright on the sand, looking at her and Paimon expectantly.

Candice stood by, looking at her encouragingly.

On the smooth cliff, the jade slip cast a brilliant light, and the surrounding lights made the sand look like gold.

The most common jade slip in Liyue also comes with a micro-magic array that absorbs elemental energy, which can create a balance between the energy consumption of the function and the elemental charging.

Especially when it is not in use, the energy will be stored in the energy storage battery, achieving long-term standby almost around the clock.

Therefore, the buyer does not need to purchase other instruments to replenish the jade slip energy.

The elemental radiation emitted by the jade slip was transformed by the healing array to achieve mild healing similar to daily health care, so it would not cause harm to ordinary people.

When encountering a life-threatening situation, the jade slip is durable, fireproof and waterproof, so it will draw on its own energy to prioritize protecting the holder, and record images and data. In case of an emergency, it will tell the Qianyan Army who are solving the case the last scene that the holder encountered before his death and the source of the danger.

Due to these many advantages, although the jade slips are not cheap, they are also very popular in Liyue.

Of course, if you want the jade slip to have more functions and realize some difficult scientific research, you will need to equip it with additional instruments such as energy instruments and larger screens.

"If you want to ask something, please come one by one, starting with the first student on the left!" Ying saw that the child who had gone on the adventure with them before was also there.

Looking at the Holy Golden Bug… the previous doubts were also answered.

Looking at the Holy Golden Bug is like looking at the jade slips and attending class.

The Holy Golden Bug is a secret code, a disguise for dealing with scholars in the Order Academy, and an after-school bug-fighting game.

Legend has it that in the days when the King of Sand ruled the earth, at the triumphal ceremony of the City of a Thousand Pillars, the magic priests would seal the souls of the defeated in these insects, and command them in the name of "Ahmar" to forever guard the saint's temples and palaces.

Candice is a descendant of the Red King, and her amber eyes are a manifestation of her noble bloodline.

Before the class started, she told Ying the origin of the Holy Golden Bug.

Although they do not care about the gods, they have a certain respect for the golden insects in these legends who continue the forgotten oaths of the past even when temples collapse and palaces fall.

Now, it is their time to guard the secrets of Aru Village.

"Can a sword really carry a person flying in the sky?"

"Can all sword-wielding warriors in Liyue make their swords fly and exterminate the monsters in the Monster Valley at home?"

The child was extremely excited.

The Valley of Monsters is a valley full of monsters in the Great Red Sand Sea. It is a terrifying place in the eyes of children.

Of course, it was usually a good place for Candice to drive away the short-sighted scoundrels who tried to disturb the tranquility of Aru Village, punish them mercifully, and then let them go.

"You are talking about the Lingshan Flying Sword... In Liyue, only a few warriors who have obtained the flying sword can make the sword carry people to fly in the sky." Paimeng answered this question for Ying.

“Then…are there real ships that can fly in the sky?” The second child still asked about Liyue.

After all, it is a jade slip that represents Liyue’s appearance, and most of the promotional videos in it are also about Liyue. The children can say that Liyue is perhaps the most detailed country they have learned about besides Xumi.

"It's true!" Ying nodded.

"So, can a ship like that fly in the desert?" the child continued to ask, "Grown-ups say that ships need water to sail and transport goods, so a ship flying in the sky can also transport goods in the desert! It's better than a pack animal."

Paimon didn't expect that the children could think of such an economically valuable question.

She had also seen sandstorms in the desert. If the Fu Sheng Flying Boat researchers in Liyue had done an environmental simulation of desert weather, perhaps they would be able to fly safely in the desert?

After answering, next one.

"How does this jade slip achieve... these powerful functions..." A child described his curious questions with gestures and excitement.

This thing is beyond the knowledge of Ying and Paimon.

After speaking vaguely, I said, "Next, next, let's ask a simpler question."

"Are there really life in the ocean and islands floating in the air?" a little girl asked.

"Oh! It's Umijima." Finally, someone asked about Inazuma. Paimon covered her chest. She was familiar with this island. She could answer the curious children of Aru Village from all aspects, including the shrine maidens, gods, sea beasts, and festivals.

"Speaking of this island, we have to talk about a god..." Paimon was in high spirits and introduced a god that spanned the lands and many fields of Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma.

The god who started Liyue’s technological explosion.

This seems to be off topic... Ying looked at Candice inquiringly. Paimon didn't realize that she was preaching to the children of Aru Village.

Candice shook her head to indicate that it was okay.

It is now the children’s freedom to believe in what they want or not to believe in. When they go out, they will have to face believers of other gods.

It is up to the children to judge whether the gods are good or bad.

The questioning and answering of questions continued for a long time, beyond the scheduled time.

From astronomy and geography, food and customs, to continental borders... Ying talked about a lot. The world in the eyes of children has never been so vast and huge.

In the future, maybe some people will give up on themselves and sink into depravity, but as long as someone gets out, then everything will be worth it.

"I will not let the people of Aru Village be bound by the 'past' forever. If you cannot move forward, I will be the only one to protect your 'future'!" Candice recalled the decisive words she had said to the old guardian.

When she first got the jade slip, she didn't even dare to let the children watch the video inside, for fear that the children would feel inferior and desperate when faced with darkness and poverty after seeing the sunshine and abundance.

But after thinking about it for two days and two nights, she still showed those things to the children after class, starting with the promotional video of Liyue that showed the various aspects of Liyue and its hard work.

If you work hard, there is hope.

Whether this is a lie or not, it will be the driving force that supports people to move forward.

"Okay, Sister Ying still has things to do, so I can't continue talking to you. If you want to see the world in the jade slip, study hard!" Candice clapped her hands.

The children were reluctant to leave, and when Ying arrived at Aru Village, they wanted to ask about these things, but in order to keep it secret, they just listened to their sister Candice and didn't say a word.

Sister Candice’s punishments are also scary.

At this time, when Ying and Paimon were preparing to say goodbye and leave.

Someone suddenly asked, "Is the god who is revered as the god of man really as good as the rumors say? He went to Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma, and brought many things to the people of those three countries. Will he come to Xumi?"

Candice, Ying paused.

Paimeng looked back at the cave. Some children looked straight at them, some looked down at the ground, and some wanted to say something but hesitated...

"Let me tell you something the God of Man said... Heaven is vigorous in its movement, so a gentleman should constantly strive to improve himself; the earth is in a low state, so a gentleman should carry all things with great virtue..."

Ying was silent for a long time before turning back and saying, "Think carefully, the answer to the question is there."

Don't rely on others, but strive for self-improvement; don't ignore others, but be compassionate.

This is the idea of ​​the God of Man.

Candice asked the children to play with the sacred golden bug for a while before leaving.

She and Ying walked side by side in Aru Village.

"What an excellent god... I believe he will change Xumi." Candice smiled, "Next, I will continue to stay in Aru Village and go to Xumi City to save the gods. You, the best people, will definitely be able to do it."

"Even I feel a sense of anticipation and nervousness that makes my blood boil."

The fluorescent golden eyes looked at the sunlight shining from the sky, the yellow sand gradually became hotter, and distorted the air.

The dry wind blew through my hair, and my face seemed to be covered with a layer of fine dust.

"This is for you..." She took out a special jade slip, "This way, you can download other courses online."

Special jade slips are a general term for jade slips made by Jiang Yi. They have powerful signals and functions that ordinary jade slips do not have.

"This... this is too expensive." Candice waved her hand, "I didn't come to you to ask for this."

"It doesn't matter. This jade slip was not meant to be sold, but to be given to friends." Ying handed the jade slip to Candice. "With this, we can keep in touch at any time in the future. You can also contact Dixia and others."

"Okay!" Candice couldn't refuse after all. "Then I'll be polite. Remember, you will always be guests of Aru Village. When you come, notify me in advance so that I can prepare food for you."

"Don't worry! We won't be polite." Hearing about food, Paimon became very energetic and shameless, and smiled.

……

After saying goodbye to Candice, Ying and Paimon reunited with Elhaisen, Senor, and Dishia.

After several more rounds of meetings, everyone went to Kawanyi to learn about the latest situation in Xumi and perfect the final plan.

However, at this moment, a disagreement broke out between Elhaisen and Seno.

Elhaisen and Rahman, the leader of the Gilded Brigade, agreed to have many members of the Gilded Brigade who were not registered with the House of the Order and were refused entry outside the Sand Wall arrested by the thirty-man group of Kawanyi led by the Grand Disciplinary Officer Seno.

Relying on Seno's identity, he successfully went to Xumi City and attacked and transferred the guards of the Ordinance Hall.

Elhaisen guessed that Seno's information was still in the void. Although the Forest King and the Great Sage had a falling out, the Great Sage still did not revoke the position of the Great Disciplinary Officer.

Because although the Forest King has bound the Fatui soldiers in various parts of the forest, as well as the Gilded Brigade that serve the Order's Deification Plan and the Traveler Pursuit Plan, the title and power of the Forest King are still too far away for ordinary people and disciplinarians.

The Forest King did not disturb them.

"We can just test whether the Gilded Brigade of Kawanyi has received news of the Grand Disciplinary Officer's betrayal. It would be best if we can bring them in with your identity without bloodshed." Elhaisen said, "If they already know... then we can consider other methods."

"This will result in sacrifices..." Seno objected.

Whether it is during the arrest, for the sake of realism, or the subsequent attack on the Church of the Lord Ordinance, casualties may occur.

"If you can come up with a better suggestion, you don't have to use my plan." Elhaisen said indifferently, "What we are doing is dangerous. It is impossible to avoid any risks."

"Throughout the entire plan, right up to rescuing the Little Auspicious Grass King, we don't want any casualties on our side or on the side of the Order of the Holy Spirit. Is this possible?"

"Moreover, a war between gods may very likely break out in Xumi..."

Ying interrupted Elhaisen and said, "Jiang Yi will save everything and protect everyone's lives, whether it's the Church of the Lord or us."

“…” El Haisen frowned.

Rahman, the leader of the Gilded Brigade, also scratched his head.

The scene before him overturned his common sense. The mercenaries who lived on the edge of a knife took life and death as commonplace. Now, whether it was the prestigious disciplinary officer or the "God" far away over there, they were ready to protect everything and not let anyone be sacrificed in this war against other gods.
