Genshen: Starting from Liyue, he is equipped with the seals of the Six Kingdoms

With the help of a local leader like Disiya, the preparations for the trip went very smoothly.

On the one hand, Niwa contributed money, and on the other hand, he took Disiya directly to the store of Liben Department Store. All goods were discounted, and the materials he scraped together for her were enough to load more than twenty beasts of burden.

Because there were too many goods, Disiya had to find a few familiar mercenaries to accompany them. Although she repeatedly insisted that she pay the commissions for these mercenaries, Niyu still refused and paid the commission at the highest market price.

As a result, Niwa's reputation for charity and wealth soon spread among Desiya and the mercenaries she knew well.

One of the principals of the Northern Continent Business Alliance and the big boss of Liben Department Store is a man of justice and generous, and he probably has some official background - Niyu did not disclose his identity as a senior official in Liyue, and he has not been officially in the position of Youbi Xing for a long time. The news hasn't spread yet.

Soon, everyone in the desert people circle in Xumi City knew about such a number one figure.

This is what Niwa wants - just a few hundred thousand moras for advertising, and even if you round it up, it can be considered a viral promotion. It's an incredible deal!

After several days of preparation, several bodyguards protected Niwa and his party and left Sumeru City. After more than ten days of trekking, they successfully arrived at Aru Village, the largest settlement in the desert.

Aru Village is built in a valley surrounded by mountains. The bottom of the valley is the most precious water source in the desert.

As a mercenary who left Aru Village, Disiya was not questioned too much and quickly met Candice, the "guardian" of Aru Village.

This beauty with different eyes has a gentle and tough personality. Her movements have the unique fitness of desert women, and the sanctity of a descendant of the Red King, which really impressed Niyu.

Candice showed appropriate joy and welcome for Desiya returning to Aru Village with such a large caravan. When she learned that these goods were not commodities, but gifts from Niwa to Aru Village, she showed vigilance again.

Free things are the most expensive.

The desert may not have this proverb, but many years of being a guardian have given Candice similar experience.

Of course, she would not say much until the guest showed no ill will, and she would just express her gratitude reservedly and calmly.

Seeing Candice's behavior, Niyu instantly understood that this seemingly gentle and gentle elder sister was definitely a deep-minded old woman who was unlikely to be moved by small favors.

However, he didn't mean to deceive people originally. The export of labor services is not human trafficking. It must be a consensual relationship. As long as Maura provided enough, he didn't believe that there would be no young people in such a poor place willing to go out and make a living.

Seeing Disia and Candice go to organize the young people in the village to carry supplies, Niyu picked up a dried date palm, a specialty of the desert, and ate it while walking around Aru Village.

The date palm is a bit like the date palm in the previous life, except that it is much larger. Even if it is dried, it is larger than a fist.

Dried date palm has no other characteristics, just one word, sweet! So sweet!

This thing is naturally an excellent food for quickly replenishing sugar. As long as you chew half a pill, it will basically have enough energy for the day. No wonder desert people like to use this thing as emergency food.

Niwa couldn't get used to the sweetness, and after taking two bites, he instinctively didn't want to eat it. However, wasting food was a taboo in the desert, and he didn't dare to throw away the dried date palms. He could only hold them sticky in his hands and shake them all the way. .

As soon as he turned a corner, he was stopped by a young man wearing a red gold-rimmed scarf.

The young man seemed a little nervous and whispered with a vibrato: "Join the Gilded Brigade! Embrace a better life! My friend, are you interested in getting to know our Gilded Brigade?"

Niyu glanced at him speechlessly and thought to himself, you just push it, why do you make it look like you are selling fake invoices?

Seeing that he did not refuse directly, the young man immediately became excited and spoke sharply, "Listen to me, our Gilded Brigade is a great place! Free! Unity! Friendly! And we can also learn from those who live in the trees. Take money out of this guy's pocket! Let me tell you, those people in the Order are rich and will never default..."

Niyu smiled faintly, turned around and passed him to move forward.

The man hurriedly caught up and continued to sell, "Don't leave! Our food is also very good! There is fish and meat every now and then! If you are lucky, you can even talk to the blazing-maned lion! I... Ahem..."

Niyu raised his hand and patted his back, took off the water bag from his waist and handed it over, "Speak slowly, don't be in a hurry."

The young man coughed twice, took the water bag and drank some water, but his eyes caught sight of the dried date palm in Niyu's hand.

Niyu understood immediately and handed it to him casually and said: "If you don't mind me taking a few bites, just eat it for me. Your dried date palms are so sweet that my teeth are falling..."

"This... why are you so embarrassed..." The young man said this, but he took the dried date palm in his hand, opened his mouth and took a big mouthful, with a happy look on his face.

"It's so sweet! I haven't eaten dried date palm in a long time!"

Niyu looked at him amusedly, "Don't you guys from the Gilded Brigade have meat and fish every now and then?"

The young man's face turned red and he lowered his head and said: "Yes, there are, but not many. One person can get one or two mouthfuls... Besides, this dried date palm is much more expensive than fish..."

"Oh? What's going on with your Gilded Brigade?"

The young man looked down at the date palm in his hand. He seemed to want to take a bite but held back. He took out a piece of cloth from his arms and carefully wrapped up the remaining half of the dried date palm. Then he smiled shyly and said : "I don't think you will join us. To tell you the truth, our life in the Gilded Brigade is actually not that good..."

"Can you tell me more about it?"

The young man let out a long sigh, "It's just hard work on weekdays. If you encounter the work of the guys from the Order Academy, you really have to put your head in your belt. Those high-ranking scholars like to go to dangerous places. Traveling from place to place, if you don’t lack any arms or legs after a trip, it is considered a blessing from the Red King..."

"Even so, you can only have enough food and clothing all year round. Unless you meet wealthy customers, you won't be able to save a few molas. But compared to those who carry bags for people at the dock, those who hunt snakes and gather mushrooms for people in the rainforest , as slaves and maids in the manor, we are already living a pretty good life..."

Niyu touched his chin and suddenly asked: "How many people are there in your Gilded Brigade? How are their skills?"

The young man subconsciously puffed up his chest, but soon collapsed it again, and said honestly: "There are many large and small forces within the Gilded Brigade, and they are not actually subordinate to each other. No one knows the total number of people in the Gilded Brigade. How many people, but I guess there are probably 50,000 or 60,000 people..."

"As for skills, naturally there are good and bad ones. For example, the 'Blazing Maned Lion' Desiya is a good player, but there are also some who are not strong. But since you dare to come out as a mercenary, you still have two skills. It’s certainly no problem to deal with wild beasts and Qiuqiu people on ordinary trade routes. If you want to go deep into the ruins to deal with those ancient creations or more powerful monsters, you will have to take action from particularly powerful people, such as..."

"Like the blazing-maned lion?" Niyu asked with a smile.

The young man rubbed his head in embarrassment, "Among the mercenaries in our Aru Village, she is the most powerful... By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Attia, who is you?"

"Nanyu, a merchant from Liyue."
