Chapter 72: Golden Wolf

Although the description says that after one of the three gods of Xumi was pulled out, it sounds like dominoes falling one after another, but in fact there was still a considerable time difference in between.

For example, after Nabu's death, Amon studied forbidden knowledge for a period of time. He first parted ways with Buyer, and then during this period, Amon made a deal with the Grass Dragon King Apep. Buyer created the Void Terminal and also left some backup plans on the ten thousand mother trees in the former territory of the Flower God.

After Amon's death, Buyar led his priests to build a mausoleum in the desert to suppress the pollution of forbidden knowledge. He then spent some time in the form of a child until the Kanreya War broke out...

The continent of Teyvat was polluted by forbidden knowledge in the past and by the abyss technology of Kanriya in the future. It was only then that Buyel created Nashida with the branches of the World Tree and completely let go.

Another hundred years passed. After the death of the king of Gul City, the Rebellion of the Princes broke out. Only then did the main plot of the Hall of Silence begin.

"To prevent the contamination of forbidden knowledge, Hermanubis dispersed his power into spirits, possessing mortals. Therefore, during the Rebellion of the Vassal Kings, when someone set their sights on the power of the Red King in the Hall of Silence, the nobles of Tuledula betrayed them to save themselves.

With the help of the Ba Ling, the Temple of Silence was able to protect itself, but because of this, it was feared and hated by the people of the desert."

"So, they left Tuledula and went to the rain forest..." Buyer said, looking like he had regained his relaxed demeanor as the Great Mercy Tree King.

"Among your friends, there's a child named Tinari. His ancestors are the Tinarees, the inhabitants of Tuledulla who remained in the rainforest. Tuledulla was originally Nabu's beloved city-state, and the Tinarees were her people."

When Buyer mentioned the people Ming Chong knew, he wanted to smile, but he found that he was a little sad because of the history. "..."

"Let Nashida and the child named Senor tell you what's going on next!"

She disappeared quickly, and Ming Chong wanted to ask her how she had made herself invisible to others...

Fortunately, with Buyer's explanation and Mingchong's own strategy, he now roughly understood. Now that he had reappeared in the Temple of Silence in the desert, he must be a poor little kid who was neither loved by his parents nor his father.

As for Seno, based on Ming Chong's impression of Hermanubis, it was hard to imagine that he was okay with the way he was dressed.

But the question now is, what is the relationship between Sameer and them? Did Thutmose bring a "tu" with him, making them miss Tuledulla a little?

Ming Chong's imagination is out of control once it's let loose. There's nothing he can do about it. Seno asked him to behave himself, and he behaved himself. So there's no reason to forbid him from thinking more divergently, right?

"Well, since we've been allowed to be here, you shouldn't mind answering a few questions." The way Seno phrased the interrogative sentence as a statement was still quite intimidating.

"Hmm..." The other person's eyes moved between Seno and Nashida, "Of course, if it's you guys, you can ask anything."

Nashida suddenly spoke up, "Even if it's about the secrets of you and Senor?"

He nodded, "Yes, even about this."

Seno walked up to him, "So, first question, what's your name?"

"...Sesos." The young desert scholar was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "My name is Sesos."

While the conversation here was going back and forth, Ming Chong started to chatter next to Jade, "Wow, if Seno tried harder, he might be able to win it directly."

Jade was young after all, so she couldn't hold it back. Her expression was strained and looked a little distorted. "...Get it?"

"Yes, that's what's written in the storybook." Ming Chong nodded as if it was a matter of fact. "Jade, think about it carefully. If there's no conflict between the two parties, only a misunderstanding, and one party is weak while the other party has the upper hand and is pressing forward, the first question asked is—"

Jade couldn't help but imitate Seno's tone, even moving her hands, and continued, "What's your name?"

"100 points!"

The styles of the group are clearly divided, with Tirzad who is eavesdropping on the conversation between Setos, Senor and Nashida, Murtada who is speechless about Jade and Ming Chong, and the human-machine Gabriel standing in the middle of the two groups with his arms folded.

"Will the Hall of Silence also ask those who seek the truth to remain silent?" Seno didn't know about Samel. After he introduced the topic, Nashida gradually began to take the lead.

"Uh... this..." Sesos didn't know where to start. "The ignorance of the desert gave rise to atrocities. We remain silent in order to better pass on knowledge and remember history." An old voice suddenly interrupted from behind.

"Grandpa—" Just as Setos was about to turn around, someone grabbed his shoulder, so he had to stop and wait for his grandfather to speak.

"...Greetings to Lord Grass God, the current leader of the Temple of Silence. Bamun pays his highest respects to you." Seeing his grandfather half-kneeling and saluting, Setos was stunned and followed suit.

Nashida was confused. "You don't have to do this. I didn't do anything before this. I came here just by chance."

Ba Mun didn't stand up, but shook his head. "Lord Grass God, as I just said, the desert's hatred for the rainforest comes from ignorance and stupidity. But we remain silent to preserve knowledge, not to seal off the Grass God's kindness."

"I won't be mistaken. Even though you are no longer the Great Kind Tree King, your face clearly shows your relationship with the Lord Tree King. You must be her heir, right?"

“…”

For a long time, Nashida did not answer.

Because no one in the House of Lords had ever said this, everyone believed that her appearance only meant one thing - the death of King Mahavira.

She has always thought so.

And I'm very sorry about this.

Is she...really the heir of the Great Compassion Tree King?

"Ahem!" Ming Chong reached out from the side and tugged at Nashida's pigtail. "Oh my! I was wondering why that kid just now kept looking at our little Auspicious Grass King. Turns out he's an old friend, no, an old god."

"If you recognized her so easily, that means you still have her portrait, right?"

"...Is there a portrait of her here?" She touched her face, her eyes gradually lighting up with twinkling lights. "Can you take me to see it?"

Only then did Bamoun slowly stand up and give Sesos a look, "Of course, Sesos, it's up to you to lead His Royal Highness the Little King of Auspicious Grass... and the Grand Disciplinary Officer."

"..." Senuo glanced at Ming Chong, who still looked sunny and cheerful. Ming Chong was waving at him urgently, and helplessly left a warning, "Be careful, don't be fooled... Otherwise, you will become the fodder of my cold jokes."

Ming Chong: ...

You don't really think I'm stupid, do you?

Nashida was probably the most confident of all. Even Cethos seemed uneasy for some reason. Ming Chong almost thought they were not a group of three, but a couple of them.

What's going on? Is he going to confess?

"Now that you've sent the Grass God away, just say whatever you want to say." Gabriel got straight to the point. "Where's Sameer?"

Bamoun did not answer directly, but looked at them one by one with a smile.

"Desert people." Looking at Gabriel and Jade.

"Rainforest people." Looking at Tilzad and Murtada.

"Research..." Everyone's heart trembled except Ming Chong who was ignored.

Finally, he sighed like a villain, "I really miss you guys... I never thought you could make it this far."

Fortunately, he didn't keep the secret any longer. "Young man, you've lived in the desert for so long, don't you know about the foolishness of those people?"

"..." Seeing that Gabriel didn't answer, Jade worriedly held his hand, "Dad..."

Ba Mun nodded. "It seems you know, you just don't understand us, the Temple of Silence. I'm not sure what the conflict is between you and that young man, but everything he wants to do is stupid and obvious."

“…”

Stupid... conspicuous...

Gabriel couldn't help but think of A Chong. He was so quiet now. Was he angry because he was ignored?

In his memory, he and Youfei spent more time together, especially after they had Jade. Originally, the three of them understood Chong's thoughts very well, but as time went on, he and Youfei would more or less be distracted by Jade.

Later, it gradually evolved into a situation where Samel would always nip some idea of ​​A Chong in the bud before it even had a chance to arise... It was a tacit understanding of that kind.

At this time, it was impossible for A Chong to stay still, so... Şebele did notice Ming Chong's escape, but he did not expose it.

Because I don't understand, I feel guilty and want to indulge him to do what he wants.

It's okay to be angry, he himself is a little angry. It would be better if Chong could vent his emotions.

After all, he has always been a good boy.

Gabriel thought so.

"Plant trees, create an oasis, and spread the truth about the Red King's death and the desert's desolation." Ba Mun shook his head and sighed. "We admire his determination. That's why we invited him here. We just hope he can stay alive."

"You know, young man, one of the reasons why the desert is in such a state of chaos right now is..."

"The legacy of the God-King." Gabriel said calmly.

"Hey! Sameer, I haven't seen you for a few days. How come you're so lax?" Ming Chong raised his head high, looking naughty.

It has to be said that using the World Tree as a projection is a very privileged and enjoyable operation. Now he reluctantly admits that Buyer, who developed this usage, is indeed worthy of being called the "God of Wisdom".

——Although Buyer used it to hide his existence from other people, I used it to “skip classes”.

But it doesn't matter, the difference is not that big anyway.

"..." Samel, who was leaning against the wall, slowly turned his head, and his invisible gaze made Ming Chong feel guilty.

Then he spoke succinctly, "There is a throne in the main hall. You also have a video camera. Go there yourself."

The meaning is very clear, let him go and play by himself.

Ming Chong's breath caught in his throat. What? Was he the kind of person who would be fooled by a check-in point at the throne?!

After a while, Ming Chong sat on the throne and held himself up so that Sameer could take a photo.

Yes, he really is.

"Oh yes, Sameer, you came earlier. Is there anything else interesting in the Temple of Silence?"
