Beside the beeping campfire, Niwa, Ying, Paimon and Jade sat together and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner.

"That's the thing. The Fools don't know that Asarigue wants to betray Babel. They are just here to negotiate cooperation. The traitor has been Asarige from the beginning to the end. As for Adelphi, I leave it to the Fools' Val Major Rekyo is under guard. Once they finish recording their confessions and reporting them, they will be handed over to you for disposal." Niwa said while drinking hot soup.

Jade stared at him for a while and asked in a deep voice: "Why do you help me?"

Niyu shrugged his shoulders, "It's just a matter of convenience. You are Ying's friend. I can't watch you die in front of her, right?"

Jide still did not relax, staring at Niyu and saying: "What is your purpose in coming to us?"

"Purpose? Of course it's the Eternal Oasis. I heard that this is the miraculous place left by the Red King, and I want to go in and have a look." Niyu replied cheerfully.

"Eternal Oasis? Didn't you go to deal with Tanit's 'rebellion'? Why did you follow us to the Eternal Oasis halfway?"

"Why? Well... the Eternal Oasis is located in Xumi and is a historical and cultural heritage belonging to Xumi. As the ruler of Xumi, I should evaluate its value and take necessary measures to protect it. What do you think of this reason? "

"..."

Seeing Jade's aggrieved face, Niyu laughed and said: "Anyway, I'm here. You can't beat me or get rid of me. Why don't you take me to the Eternal Oasis to have a look? Don't worry, Ying can guarantee it. I will not jeopardize your safety."

Jade glanced at Ying, thought for a moment, suddenly raised her little face, looked at Niyu provocatively and said: "Okay, but before that I have to go back to the Tanit camp. Asalige's rebellion must be informed to Ba Mistress Biel! Do you want Mr. Great Sage to follow?"

Niyu's smile gradually faded and his voice became colder, "I advise you not to do this, Miss Jade. Returning to Tanit at this time is not a wise choice for you."

Jade was about to speak back, but a slightly harsh female voice suddenly sounded in the darkness.

"I agree with him, little Jade. Do you think that if you go back to report empty-handed now, that woman will believe that it was those two stupid men who rebelled, not you?"

"Even if you have evidence to prove that they rebelled...according to the tradition of the desert people, will they value the evidence more than the fact that their own people died because of you? After seeing the evidence, Babel can forgive you for killing your own people." Humiliating, right?”

"Haha... I guess good news, good news about the Eternal Oasis, is what she prefers to hear."

Niyu looked around and saw a strange, shimmering bottle floating behind Ying. He suddenly showed curiosity, "Who is this lady?"

Before Ying could make an introduction, the bottle made a sound, "I, Rupal, am just an insignificant presence next to my blond master... I send my regards to you, Archon of Sumeru."

Niyu touched his chin and looked at the bottle carefully, with a smile of interest on his lips, "Lilupal...Lilupal? This seems to be the name of the ancient desert empire's goddess of the soul? The one who was destroyed in the legend Are you the Zhenling of the Desert Kingdom?"

Lilupal was silent for a moment, and the bottle shimmered with light, "Your knowledge is admirable... That is indeed me."

Niyu laughed, clapped his hands and said, "Sure enough! With such keen eyesight and insight into people's hearts, he is worthy of being able to single-handedly destroy an empire... uh... Zhenling."

After listening to the conversation between the two, Paimon couldn't help but shudder, "What nonsense are you two talking about! Lilupal... have you really destroyed a country? And you, Niyu! Not only are you not afraid, but you are also so excited. What do you mean?"

Niwa chuckled, reached out and pinched Paimon's cheek, "Little Paimon, you don't understand. According to legend, Lilupal combined with a mortal and helped him become the king of the desert. This shows that she was just a queen at the beginning. In ancient times, The desert empire is not the desert tribe now, and the queen has no power."

"Think about it, a queen with little power in her hands, just relying on conspiracy, caused the death of an extremely powerful Desert Empire III. How much keen insight and superb political skills does this require? At least I definitely can't do it. arrive!"

"Isn't it worth being excited to have the honor of meeting such a master?"

Paimon was so frightened that he turned around and hid behind Ying, "You are so scary! How can you say such terrible things so calmly! Suddenly I feel that Sumi is not safe in your hands! No, not only Sumi, but also Liyue, Dao Wife and Mond!"

Lilupal became interested, "Liyue, Daozhi and Mond? When did the great sage of Xumi have such influence on the kingdoms of other gods?"

Paimon explained: "You don't know, he is very famous on the Teyvat continent! He is from Liyue, but he also serves as the guardian of the east wind of Mondstadt, the right star of Liyue, and the shogunate secretary of Inazuma. There is also the great sage of Xumi, and he is also the founder of the Northern Continent Business Alliance. His subordinates control Liben Department Store, the largest trading house in the mainland, and he is a billionaire!"

Lilupal was so surprised that his color changed, "Being a high-ranking official of the Four Kingdoms? This is much more powerful than the king who ruled the desert back then! But with all due respect, do you really not care that I am a sinister conspirator and a sinner stained with countless blood? ?”

Niyu waved his hand and said: "You may be guilty, but you did not commit the crime in today's Xumi, so it is not my turn to take care of it."

Lilupal gave a bitter smile and laughed at himself: "So, as humble as me, what is there that a big shot like you should value? Is it those conspiracies soaked in blood? Or is it a calculation full of venom? Are you going to use these to deal with it? who?"

Niwa calmly said: "Lilupal, I don't know what you think of conspiracy. In my opinion, conspiracy is just a means, an effective means to achieve the goal at the minimum cost. It is like a knife that can be used to You can create happiness by overcoming obstacles, but you can also use it to make money and kill people to create tragedy. No matter what the consequences are, the person holding the knife should be responsible, not the knife itself."

"Furthermore, although the records in the literature say that the destruction of the Desert Empire originated from the conspiracy of the Zhenling Mother, in my opinion, the collapse of a country can never be the fault of one or two people. If the operating mechanism of the country Complete, individual mistakes can be corrected by the system..."

"Haha, I'm going too far... In short, the crimes you committed thousands of years ago are nothing to me, and if you can sincerely help Ying and her friends now, then as Ying's friend, I am willing to treat you as For friends.”

Lilupal was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "Your knowledge and mind are amazing... If there had been someone like you among the leaders of the Desert Empire, I probably wouldn't have made such a big mistake. …”

Niwa waved his hand, "Things that happened a thousand years ago will not be mentioned today. Lilupal, can you lead us to find the Eternal Oasis?"

Lilupal turned his body and seemed to be looking into the depths of the desert.

After a long time, she finally said: "Of course, Mr. Great Sage. I will try my best to guide my master until he reaches the Eternal Oasis."
