The desert climate is not only hot, but also unbearable when sandstorms arise.

But on the other hand, sandstorms are a godsend to those who need to cover their tracks.

Looking at the gravel that was tens of centimeters thick around him, Paimon could only shake his head helplessly, "Elhaysen, there are no traces."

"Obviously, this was once a hospital used to treat demon scale disease, and it was opened again not long ago to house the village guards. But now they have completely emptied this 'hospital'... Unfortunately, we may have just arrived late. A day, or even a few hours." Alhaysen sighed helplessly.

"Well... I'm really angry! How did those guys know that we were coming? They actually ran away in a hurry!" Paimon puffed up his face with anger.

At this time, Ying suddenly felt something and looked towards a hidden depression.

Paimon noticed it immediately, "Ying? Did you find anything?"

"The rock element here is unstable...get out of the way."

Ying raised her right hand, and the wild stars instantly condensed and fell, smashing a hole in the ground!

Elhaysen and Ying looked at each other and jumped down from the crypt together.

The crypt is dark and gloomy, and traces of Qiuqiu people can be seen from time to time.

While walking along the tunnel, the two of them would occasionally find writings left by someone on the wall.

"...waiting in the dug earth cave, the end will come, just as he will eventually return with the seven glorious messengers. Then there will be no pain..."

"Sand dunes, pack animals, home... When the end comes, will mom and dad be there waiting for me? They are still healthy, they should be in the fields, they shouldn't... I don't want to die..."

"King of all the people in the sand, are you still listening? Because we are lazy and have wasted the precious fields given to us by God, so I am punished with magic scale disease, and I accept it..."

"God forgives everything..."

"Knock, Abbas, knock hard. Just knock in the right place and you can break down these mud walls and no longer have to eat grass and lizards. Knock, Abbas, don't be afraid, you can get out. Don't be afraid , you can get out. Don’t be afraid, you can get out..."

At the end of the crypt, the two found a badly worn shovel.

Apparently, there was once a person who escaped from that magical cave-like "hospital" with his strong will.

Ying stood in silence for a long time, looked at Elhaysen seriously and said: "Alhaysen, have people in the Apostolic Academy always been like this? Are they so indifferent to the lives of desert people and conducting research that violates ethics?"

Elhaysen was silent for a moment and said seriously: "To be honest, I don't know, because the research materials involving taboos are kept in the deepest archives of the Order... But as far as I know, the Order has never There is no shortage of madmen, and scholars are even proud of them. The fanatical pursuit of knowledge does sometimes lead them to harm others, or themselves."

"This is wrong, Elhaysen. This is an intolerable crime."

"Yes, this is an intolerable crime." Elhaysen sat down on the sand dune a little tiredly and looked at the oasis not far away. "You should go back to Aru Village first and tell Seno about the situation here. , Desiya, Candice and the others.”

Ying nodded, and after taking two steps, he suddenly turned back and asked: "Elhaysen, what would you do in the face of this kind of crime?"

Elhaysen didn't seem to hear anything and just stared blankly into the distance.

It wasn't until Ying left that he took a long breath, with a sarcastic smile on his lips, and said to himself: "Interesting... Niyu, did you already know this? Well, you win this time. Yes, I will do what you say, I hope you can keep your promise!"

----------

A few hours later, in the wilderness outside Aru Village, Rahman, the leader of the Gilded Brigade, and Disiya and others were facing off nervously.

"I won't hand those crazy scholars over to you. They are an important bargaining chip for us to fight back against the Order! Disiya, as our compatriot, you should stand with us!" Rahman said with suppressed anger. .

"The hostility is too strong to communicate. Can you find an opportunity to capture the opponent's leader?" Sai Nuo whispered to Yingmei.

Ying looked at it and shook his head slightly, indicating that he couldn't find the opportunity.

Seeing that the negotiation was about to break down, a heroic voice suddenly rose up, slightly easing the tense atmosphere, "Hey! Isn't this Disiya? What happened? Why did you get into trouble with Rahman?"

Desiya turned around and saw two men and one woman dressed as desert folk walking out from behind the dunes.

"Tanya? And Alberts and Badias? Didn't you go to Liyue to serve as soldiers? I heard you even became officials? How..."

Tanya walked forward with a smile and took Disiya's arm, "Let's take family leave! There was so much commotion in Xumi last year, and everyone was worried about their relatives and friends at home. My group of brothers even asked I'm delivering letters for them! There are two big packages full of letters, but I'm exhausted!"

Seeing the friendly tone of the other party, Desiya relaxed and said, "But why are you here?"

"Aren't we also from the Gilded Brigade? Don't you think so, Alberts?" Tanya called back.

Alberts is extremely powerful, otherwise he would not be able to secure his position as the commander of the First Brigade of the Foreign Legion. However, this person was not good at words, and after hearing Tanya's words, he just nodded and smiled.

Badias is a young man in his early twenties, but he is very good at talking.

He stepped forward and pressed down Rahman's knife-holding hand, and persuaded him: "We are all one of our own, why are we using knives and guns? The people in the Order made fun of them! And there are friends of Liyue over there. , so rude!"

Rahman was stunned for a moment, "Friend of Liyue? Who? That blonde girl?"

Badias nodded and said: "No! That's a good friend of our General Dan!"

Rahman immediately retracted his scimitar, saluted Ying and said, "It turns out that my friend Liyue, I was blind and didn't see it. I was really rude..."

Ying and Paimon looked at each other and could only admit it bravely.

After Rahman saluted, he said to Disiya: "Our revenge against the Order and the people of Cao Shen will not stop, but we cannot deny the face of our friends in Liyue. So this time, Disiya, we agree Exchange hostages and meet in the desert at noon tomorrow!"

Seeing Rahman let go, Tanya immediately climbed up the pole, "Rahman, you are our original boss, you must keep your word! Let's do this, the three of us will serve as witnesses, Alberts and Buddy Yas will follow you, and I will follow Disiya, and we will witness the conclusion of the contract!"

Rahman curled his lips and said, "It's unnecessary, but it's up to you!"
