Chapter 93: Old Music
“…”
You are not Sister Li.

But Buyer gave you a familiar look, and you took the time to think about where that familiarity lay...
Oh, by the way, when she was telling a story to someone else, she would give him this look, meaning don't interrupt, keep listening, or keep watching - just like the situation in the 3D screening room of Li Du Xian Guan.
So, you stared back at Amon blankly. What's the matter? You just don't understand.
If you don’t understand something, you just don’t understand it. You won’t get any sudden enlightenment even if you keep staring at it!
Anyway, now that things have come to this, let’s just wait and see.
…
As a Lemurian, you should have stood firmly on Remus' side and rejected the olive branch thrown by the tyrant Red King who conquered the desert, forced Remus to leave his homeland, meet the prophet Sibyl, and start from scratch again.
However, this old man is a ruthless man of few words. When he knew that you had a Gundam dream, he took out the highest wisdom of Red King Technology without saying a word, and the research progress was improving day by day.
You were so embarrassed to refuse... Actually, you had originally prepared a backup option - Kanriya. After all, it was a human civilization that you had been thinking about for a long time.
But since Amon is busy helping...
How can I feel so embarrassed about this? Hehe!
I didn't expect that Buerler really just had to watch... Although I'm still a little confused, winning without doing anything is not a bad thing.
You go to Amon every few days with your hands behind your back to check on the progress. Um... why do you go?
Because you mostly stay in the Moon Maiden City of Nabu, where there are many big-eared Tinar people, even Lilupal can't scare away your pure and firm appreciation for furry creatures!
You are more familiar with the oasis amidst the yellow sands than with the Red King's city-states. The purple-red Patisal orchid blossoms throughout the Flower God's domain, and it seems to be to the Flower Goddess Nabu what the golden rose is to you.
Amon is working overtime on technology, and Buyel is digging out the remaining records from the World Tree for you to see. So what is Nabu doing?
In addition to entertaining you as a host, she always pretends to look at you with her chin in her hand in a pretentious manner. When she looks back at you, she pretends nothing happened, and you don't know what she is doing secretly.
...Lilupal is really of the same lineage as her.
That's the only comment you have on this.
But when you think of Patisalan swaying in the wind, you can tolerate Nabu's neurotic behavior a little more.
When Nabu was exiled from the sky, gravel rubbed her heels, and from her wounds flowed a spring, which turned into a boundless stream. That stream watered a garden, from which grew flowers as bright as the night, and from within it, the town spirit was born.
Later they walked together where the flowers bloomed until the Patisara flowers gradually grew along the way, and after that they only stayed where they bloomed.
Flowers don't lie. Their stories nourish Patisalan, and Patisalan accepts them...
In that case, let’s read on.
You think.
The Red King Civilization is indeed the one that gave birth to the technology that created the [Semi-Eternal Governance Matrix], which is one of the reasons why you were unable to firmly refuse.
Amon quickly developed the technology to replace parts and materials for your white stone and brass body.
When you were excited and wanted to feel it immediately, the three gods of Xumi prepared a banquet for you. Nabu smiled and told you that everything she wanted to do had been done.
At this time, her smile was less disguised and false, and she looked as quiet and peaceful as Pati Saran, beautiful and real.
Then she dances, celebrating herself and you.
The dark desert night and the stars could not hide the details of Nabu's dance, but made her dress shimmer with color. You know, the fame of the "Flower Goddess Dance" passed down on the birthday of the Grass God even changed the name of the festival.
——〈Birthday Ceremony of the Flower Goddess〉, even though she has no subjects and there are few written records about her, she still shines brightly in the memories of the people of Xumi.
You are not familiar with her who disguises herself, but this does not change her uniqueness and legend.
Your stay at Fupanpurika (the sea of nectar flowers) will probably end here. You will not forget the purpose of coming here, nor the essence of travel, even if you hear the secret language of the Red King's flowing thoughts, even if you see Nabu's shining eyes...
...Nabu is dead.
It's a bit sudden.
You calmly surveyed the expressions of the remaining two gods of Xumi and noticed that they were actually looking at you.
?
Why is this happening?
The banquet began with celebration and ended with mourning.
This sad frost originally had nothing to do with you, but Nabu made it relevant to you...
As a remnant of the fairies, after being abandoned by the sky, Nabu did not lose her mind and body like her tribe, but she also carried a curse - if she fell in love with a human, she would lose her beauty, wisdom and strength, and degenerate into a hollow shell.
When she finished her dance, she walked straight towards you and whispered something...
A word of comfort.
A curse.
Because you don't love her. Just as Lilupal was neglected by the shepherd and betrayed her love, she cast three curses and three prophecies on her.
She cursed you.
“…” You didn’t say anything, just watched quietly.
Then she smiled, no longer full of hypocrisy, cunning and calculation, and she said -
[The purpose of flowers blooming is a brilliant death, and this is the end I have been pursuing from the beginning.]
Amon’s heavy gaze fell on you, reminding you of the historical rumors about the Red King’s love for the Flower Goddess. You couldn’t tell the emotion in his eyes, nor could you read his thoughts.
But Buyer advises you not to believe in the treacherous and confusing love words, not to listen to the glamorous slander, and not to think about it, because it will only add to your troubles.
You turned your head to look at Buière, but she avoided your eyes, so you just looked as well.
After the banquet, there was no hatred. The people of Moon Maiden City knelt on the ground earnestly, hoping that you would stay. You didn't know what they thought about this, nor were you curious about it.
So, you just walked away.
You came to the city-state of Amon, which had changed many times in history and was divided into seven or even ninety-nine parts. You had long since given up distinguishing the names of the desert lands.
Fortunately, Amon was not blinded by love. I don’t know what his mood was, but in any case, he calmly taught you step by step how to use this technology, and even integrated it with various technologies of the Red King.
You are confused by this, but he only responds with a cold, cold look. There is no emotion in his golden eyes, except for the floating starlight under the light and shadow, just like the flower god's initial hospitality to you, cunning and good at disguise.
He won't answer for you.
You see that.
So you ask him, "I thought you were the type who would be carried away by impulse."
Amon smiled, a different smile than he had seen before, "You never knew me, Impas."
"But I know you very well."
He said.
Unfortunately, he only smiled this once, and you still didn't notice anything.
All of the Red King's technologies are displayed before you without any concealment, and you begin to doubt the possibility that the rumors recorded in history are unofficial history.
But it is true that the Red King accepted all the people of the Flower God;
The break with the Grass God is also real;
After the death of the Flower God, his behavior became even more brutal, which is also true...
But after you saw the real Red King, you weren't so sure anymore.
The clearest point is...
He was not a tyrant as he was portrayed in history.
He is a mad heir who betrayed his identity and bloodline, a descendant of the sky.
Chiwang Technology demonstrates a strong personal touch. When you can't sleep at night after visiting it, you will recall the origin of that familiar sense of déjà vu.
—That was a strong sense of rebellion. It was unique to scientific geniuses who lacked respect or fear... but it was probably a human trait, one that required a great deal of tools.
So, why does the Red King have this characteristic?
You fell into deep thought and found yourself in a fixed mindset: why couldn't the devil be interested in scientific research?
Once you think about this question, you will no longer be bound by the few historical impressions.
In his spare time learning technology, Amon will not refuse to chat with you. He is happy to answer and seems to be waiting for you to ask him some questions.
—Except for the issue concerning Nabu’s death.
You will understand that both Nabu and Amon hold the idea that humans may not need demons at all. It is precisely because of this that the two gods initially sought help from the Great Kind Tree King, who is known as the God of Wisdom.
They hope to give humans space to develop and survive on their own, and hope that humans can find the power to rival the devil on their own, and no longer submit to him, and live under his command.
A very advanced viewpoint.
Even betrayed their own position.
You feel a little regretful that you didn't discover anything when Nabu was alive.
——There are only individuals who betray their class; there is no class that betrays its class.
This sentence still applies to the continent of Teyvat.
You haven't been here with Amon for a long time, and learning all the technologies of the Red King civilization with cheats is much faster than learning Amon's technology.
But perhaps you were away for too long, and Remus probably noticed that you hadn't been active in the Capitoline for a long time, so he came all the way to the desert to pick you up.
The Red King civilization and the Lemurian civilization are never mentioned in parallel, not only because of the geographical and temporal differences between them, but also because the two are incompatible.
Before the emergence of Lemurian civilization, the Red King conquered the desert until he unified it. After that, he met the Flower God who shared the same ideas with him, and together they visited the Great Kindness Tree King. From then on, the three gods began to rule together.
The Lemurian civilization rose strongly at this time. The tribe where Remus originally lived was conquered by the Red King. After he was unwilling to serve the Red King's throne, he embarked on a journey of wandering.
In the depths of an unrecorded ocean, in an ancient abandoned city, beneath a silver cedar tree, Remus heard the call of the golden bee Sibyl... From then on, he began his journey to become the king.
Amon only nodded slightly and said goodbye to you when he saw you off. After that, he simply stopped paying attention to you and turned back. Remus was completely ignored.
You were curious about their past, but Remus just smiled and said, "It's been a while since I've heard Impas's flute. Thank you for taking care of Lemuria. After I take you back, you can have a good rest."
"Your friends are still waiting for you. Maybe after a while, I'll be able to hear you guys tuning together."
Amon's steps visibly stopped, and you looked at Remus, then at Amon's back, and then back at Remus.
I didn't expect that any sentence in this passage could provoke Amon.
Could it be... that it's because the researchers are unhappy with the unemployed?"
