Chapter 176: Scorpion Tail and Mane Lion
"Deliver a letter?" [Dixia] held her head with a headache.
It's not that she thinks highly of herself, and after becoming known as the "Lion of the Blazing Mane", she is unwilling to do such a simple job. The truth is that she doesn't even know the approximate range of the person she is delivering the letter to, so rushing into the desert to look for him is not a wise choice.
Dixia sighed deeply. "I remember this boss wasn't such an amateur, right? How could he make such a request? And when most people don't understand the current situation of the desert..."
The Humayi family's master's business is not very busy now, so Dixia's bodyguard work can be easier, and she doesn't need to watch over the eldest lady [Dina Zedai] every day.
Taking advantage of this time, Dixia took a quick look at the commission information that the members of her mercenary team were unsure about and sent to her.
Some word caught the young lady's attention. Dina Zedai asked curiously, "What's wrong? Dixia, is it some kind of troublesome job?"
"Uh... Miss, it's nothing." Dixia glanced at the paper with the commission information at her nonchalantly, "An old customer who I had a good conversation with before asked me to deliver a letter into the desert."
"The most crucial thing is the specially marked line of words—"
Dina Zedai followed the sound and looked for the information mentioned by Dixia.
"We'll go wherever the noise is loudest..." Dishia said with a bright smile. "If I didn't know this customer well, I would have thought this was a commission from a competitor to weaken our Blazing Beast Hunters."
"You mean, the commotion that happened a while ago?" Dina Zedai's eyes lit up.
Master Humayi, Shazaman, who had been paying close attention to Dina Zedai's condition, frowned, a look of worry showing between his brows.
But he didn't say it directly to Dina Zedai.
"Dixia...you've been in our family for so long, I've already treated you like our second daughter. You mustn't be stupid at a time like this!"
"Don't worry, sir!" Dixia was a little uncomfortable with this kind of care from an elder. She answered sincerely, "I just think that maybe this customer knows something..."
When she said this, her eyes became a little vague, as if she was remembering something.
"Besides, something as big as this happened in the desert. As a desert person, I can't bear to stand by and watch... Anyway, I want to talk to him again."
Shazaman wanted to say something else, but Dinazedai grabbed his wrist and shook him gently, so he had to swallow the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
But the expression on his face still showed that he was worried.
When saying goodbye, Dishia showed her usual bright and cheerful smile, but she turned around and paused for a moment, tilting her head slightly as if thinking about something. The interval was too short, and neither Dina Zedai nor Shazaman noticed it.

After receiving Dishia's reply, Tinari breathed a sigh of relief. He had a good impression of Dishia. He remembered that Seno had mentioned her character, and it seemed there was still time.
He arrived just before Kavi was about to leave for his work in the desert, so that Dishia could set off with Kavi. As long as he arrived at this time, the difficulty of delivering the letter would be greatly reduced.
It's not the influence of improved luck. As far as Tinari knows, Kavi's work in the desert this time shows that he is still an unlucky guy.
Instead, as long as he got within a certain distance, A Chong would come over to take a look at his half-brother no matter what.
So, it’s not luck that influences it, but emotion.

This wasn't exploitation. After all, considering Kavi's conscience, strength, and beauty, any act of letting him suffer such a terrible fate would be cruel.
With Dixia here, at least some of it can be avoided artificially... right?
Tinari was a little unsure.
However, how to reveal the news to Dixia was a problem. The Ministry of Justice required the details related to the Grass God to be kept confidential, and they didn't know how to explain the news about Ah Chong.
The whole thing reveals a bizarre and outrageous truth.
"Oh, it seems I have to think about it carefully."
…
"What? Chong is right there?!" Kavi was so shocked that her beautiful and delicate face was distorted. "This is too dangerous! Isn't he hungry every day?"
Dixia glanced at Tinari obscurely, hesitated for a second, and then continued, "Uh... If you are really worried, your friend Tinari just happened to have a commission with us, and we just happen to be... um, on our way!"
Kavi, who was jointly concealed by the two, obviously did not notice the abnormality in Dishiya's words because he focused his attention on his younger brother. He seemed to be still here, but his soul seemed to have flown away.
He walked back and forth, his hair a little messy.
"How could this happen? He just told me the day before yesterday that he helped the son of a famous disciplinary officer solve a major academic problem. He was celebrating so much that he forgot all about time... He ate stewed meat every day until he was about to vomit..."
Kavi muttered to himself quietly, as if he was reviewing the details of the whole incident and trying to find clues from it.
"The day before yesterday?" Tinari subconsciously caught this key word.
Dixia was different. She just felt a little embarrassed as an outsider (?) to hear these things, but the word "stew" made her relax a little.
"Kavi, is there any special connection between you and Chong?" Tinari went straight to the point.
"Yes, that's right!" Kavi was stunned, and then he felt a little embarrassed, "Sorry, Tinari, I need Chong's consent before I can tell you this contact information."
——That was Chong's private space, even more private than the key to his house. To a child, it was like a secret base.
Thinking of the "Lonely Picture" (full name "Picture of Sand and Oasis", affectionately called "Picture of Lonely Cold Sand Island" by A Chong), Kavi added in his heart.
That is to say, Dishia and Tinari are still there, otherwise, when Kavi thought of this [Lonely Picture], he would really feel that the name given by A Chong has some meaning.
The owner of the house rarely goes home. Even Kavi goes there more often than him! Isn't that lonely?
Tinari observed his expression and felt that he really didn't encounter any problems. Maybe Seno simply couldn't spread the news.
Knowing that they were still safe, Tinari felt relieved.
"It's okay, Kavi, you don't have to explain to me so nervously." Tinari smiled slightly, "It's just that there was a lot of commotion in the desert a while ago, and we couldn't contact the Ministry of Justice, so I was a little worried that they might have encountered something..."
Considering that Dishia was still here, if she didn't go there in person, she might not be able to rest assured about the situation in the desert. And with Kavi here, at least she wouldn't have to search everywhere like a headless fly.
In short, letters are meant to be delivered;
Kavi is a person who still needs to be taken care of.
If you can't be sure of the situation on Seno's side, you can't take care of Kavi, right?
“Besides, with such a big thing happening, you’re still determined to run to the desert to complete the next task. You might as well delegate some tasks and hire a mercenary team…” Tinari gestured in the direction of Dishia.
He didn't think about stopping Kavi. According to his memory, this was a tough guy who almost built a house in the dead zone.
So, without pausing, he continued.
"Or with someone I know."
…
…
What Ming Chong said to Kavi before was a lie. What made him want to vomit was not the stew, but Kusela.
Kusela, who looked weak and needed to use a crutch, wanted to prove himself and could airdrop to the top of the [Legacy of the God-King] with everyone else through the earth veins. He carried Ming Chong on his back and spun around wildly.
"I was so powerful when I was young, 100 times more powerful than the [Fiery Mane Lion]!" he announced with fake vigor.
By the way, this statement is also deceptive.
In order to support his body and complete the goal of destroying the "Legacy of the God-King" without any support from dangerous goods, Kusela exercises his physical endurance every day.
——Pain tolerance.
As long as you haven't lost consciousness, you can persist even if your body is disabled.
Kucera originally thought so.
That was true until I encountered [Ahmar's Beard];
That was indeed the case until I met Shazaman;
...That was indeed the case before I met Dishia.
"How... did you find your way here?" Kusela saw his daughter and subconsciously wanted to smile nonchalantly, but at this moment, he seemed unable to smile.
The distance between Akhmar's Beard and the God-King's Legacy spanned roughly half the desert, from the southernmost edge of the Wind Erosion to the northernmost edge of the Lower Wind Erosion. This was the safe distance Kusela had established to survive under the God-King's Legacy's shadow and protect Dishia.
But Kusela didn't take into account one thing. More than ten days ago, the desert had undergone tremendous changes. The members of Achmar's Beard could easily determine that that direction was exactly the range where Kusela might appear.
Kusela's mouth twitched as he tried to be clever. "So, you're here to save me? I never thought you'd all be captivated by my powerful personal charm..."
The acting leader [Idrisi] raised his hand and ruthlessly interrupted him, "I'm sorry, we [the Legacy of the God-King] never talk about feelings."
Ming Chong popped his head out from over Kavi's shoulder and looked at this and that happily.
"Yes, Captain. Your disappearance was quite easy. If the people from the Legacy of the God-King knew that you were nearby at the time, we would have a lot to consider." Satar nodded in agreement.
"..." Looking at Ming Chong's obvious expression of watching the fun, Kusela, who originally felt that he had a special and chic temperament in this team, felt a little fragmented.
——Please give me some face!
He roared inwardly.
Idrisi continued, "So I secretly contacted Shazzaman, hoping he could bring us some tools to protect ourselves. ...Oh, and this is all thanks to the legacy left by the leader."
Captain Kucera: "Hey, you guys are really going to wait until I'm dead before you tell me!"
"Then we happened to run into the Dishia team escorting Kawi at Kawan Station." Saino added calmly, "Kawan Station is not far from the headquarters of the God-King's Legacy, so A Chong dragged us over to watch the disciplinary officer's arrest."
Then he nodded and said expressionlessly: "Well, this is very Ku (crying) Sela (stuck)."
