That night, the huge convoy spent the night in a sheltered canyon.

Niyu waited patiently until midnight, when the people who had been trekking all day fell asleep, then he jumped out of the tent and climbed up the cliff.

Without much effort, he found Ying behind the highest rock.

"Why are you here? Where is Deinsreib? Didn't you go to the Wuyu Forest with him the last time we parted?" Niyu casually took off his turban and eye mask, revealing his entire face.

Ying looked at him carefully for a while, then suddenly laughed, "Who put on your makeup? It's really...at least I didn't recognize it at first sight."

Niyu shook his head, "This is the effect we want... Don't interrupt, let's get down to business."

Seeing his serious face, Ying quickly replied: "Dain and I found some... clues in the Wuyu Forest, and then he said he was going to the desert. It just so happened that I also received a letter from Jade from the Adventurers Association. ...The girl who attacked you during the day is a friend I met while adventuring in the desert...She invited me to be a guest in the Tanit tribe, so I followed Dyne on the road."

"When he arrived near the Tanit tribe, Dain suddenly said that he didn't want to deal with the Tanit people and left alone... Oh, by the way, before leaving, he also said that the situation deep in the desert was not normal, so let Let me tell you, it’s best to organize the power of the Teaching Council to check it out. He also said that if you need it, you can go to the desert north of Qianhe Sand Land to find him, and he is willing to provide help."

Niyu nodded and asked: "You arrived at the Tanit tribe recently. Have you seen the rebel leader Fertad? What is the current situation of the Tanit tribe?"

Ying scratched her head in embarrassment, "I have been placed in Jade's tent since I arrived. The people in Tanit told me not to go out at will. Until recently, Jade said that she wanted to go out to do something, and she would take me with her after it was done. I just went to find the Eternal Oasis..."

Niyu nodded slightly, not surprised at all.

After all, many changes have taken place in the Tanit tribe recently, from Babel's elimination of seven of the "Nine Elders" to Fertad's strong conquest of the Qianhe Sand Land, none of which is suitable for outsiders like Ying to know. .

Perhaps it was because of Jade's special status in the Tanit tribe that she just put Yingmei under house arrest. If anyone else had dared to invite outsiders to the Tanit tribe at this time, she would have been fed to crocodiles by Babel. .

Seeing that he couldn't get any useful information from Yingmei, Niyu changed the topic again, "Why did Jade take you to search for the Eternal Oasis? Where did she get the clues about the Eternal Oasis?"

Ying Wenyan took out an ancient slate from his backpack, "I found this keystone when I was adventuring in the desert with Jade. Jade's father was still there at that time, and he told me that this keystone The stone slab contains the power of the Red King..."

She had just opened her mouth when she heard a strange voice coming from not far away.

"Ying, why are you..."

The two of them turned around and saw Jade with gray-purple hair standing not far away, her mouth wide open and her face frighteningly white.

Ying was startled, and quickly waved her hand and explained: "Jide, don't get me wrong, he and I have known each other for a long time, and we are friends..."

Unexpectedly, Jade's face became paler after hearing this.

"So...he is your...lover?"

"Eh?"

Even Niwa was confused this time.

He took a closer look and found that Jade's expression was not the disappointment of discovering that friends and enemies were interacting, but the sadness of discovering that she seemed to have been cheated on...

I&%¥#……

Niyu felt as if ten thousand grass-mud horses were rushing past, sometimes forming an S shape, and sometimes forming a B shape.

I've never seen a normal person since I came to the desert!

After holding it in for a while, he looked at Yingmei quietly and said, "Okay! I'm still looking for you everywhere in Wuyu Chou Forest, so you'd better..."

Yingmei suddenly showed an awkward smile, "This is not...that what..."

Before he finished speaking, another slightly joking voice sounded not far away.

"My Alanyi, you came out in the middle of the night without saying a word to me, are you just here to see her?"

The two of them turned their heads again, only to see Xinhai walking in, dressed in ordinary desert folk clothes, and naturally took Niyu's arm.

Jade's face looked much better instantly, but Ying showed a disdainful smile like a certain fox.

"Okay, you! Ke Qing is still waiting for you at Liyue Port. You'd better..."

Seeing that the scene was about to turn into a bloody school drama, Niyu quickly raised his hand and said: "Okay, okay, stop it! Since we are all here, let's have a good chat and don't talk about what we have and what we don't have..."

After a while, the painting style finally returned to normal.

Jade told the truth about the task that Babier had given her very frankly, "Yes, it was Mistress Babier who sent me to assassinate Weilin. She said that as long as Weilin is watching, the Eternal Oasis will not They truly belong to Tanit, and the souls of my parents cannot rest beside the flower god."

Niyu looked at the frank Jade and sighed: "I guess Babel also asked you to assassinate Breda and the other six elders for similar reasons, right? It's really despicable..."

Ying looked at Jide in shock.

Jade's face became very ugly, but after a moment of patience, she still nodded and said: "It is indeed me who did it...I don't want to do this, but Babel told me that if these people are not eliminated, Tanit will only It will fall into civil strife and be annexed by other tribes... In order to survive in this barren desert, everyone must make some sacrifices."

As she said that, she looked at Ying with apologetic eyes, "I'm sorry, I didn't want you to know this..."

"Jie De..."

Ying and Paimeng looked at each other. They really can't believe that the innocent and straightforward girl they met when they first met has now become an executioner with bloody hands!

Niyu was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Jide, do you really want to be a killer forever?"

Jie De remained silent.

Seeing this, Niyu spoke again: "Now that you have mastered the key stone and clues, then go find the Eternal Oasis... I can give you the materials and equipment you need. Stay away from this dispute."

Jade's eyes flickered for a moment, and she couldn't help but ask: "That Tanit..."

"Tanit joined Fertad's rebellion, endangering a large number of innocent people, and must pay a price...but I will try to protect as many people's lives as possible." Niwa said solemnly.

"Rebellion?" Jade sneered slightly, "For thousands of years, the Order has never cared about the life and death of the desert people. Why do you think we are rebelling?"

Niwa said calmly without changing his expression: "Because only by classifying your actions as rebellion, and after everything calms down, can the Ecclesiastical Order establish effective rule over the desert area more smoothly, improve the lives of the desert people, and continue to promote education and medical assistance. .Compared with the future of all desert people, neither Tanit nor Fertad is worth mentioning."

Jade didn't expect that Niyu would make no secret of it. After a moment of shock, she couldn't help shouting: "Despicable!"

Niyu smiled coldly, "When did I say I was a good person? You desert people believe that the strong is king. I have big fists, so you have to listen to me! What's more, I can make more desert people survive!"

As he spoke, he looked at Jade indifferently, "So what do you choose? Stop me from saving your compatriots and then die worthlessly in my hands, or take the supplies to find the Eternal Oasis and bury your parents?"
