Genshin Impact: Legend of the Emperor

Led by Candice, they arrived at Aru Village.

With the face of the guardian of Aru Village, the villagers of Aru Village were unusually gentle towards the few people, which surprised Ying and Paimon, who were used to the rudeness and xenophobia of the desert people.

Because Ying had just finished the Mondstadt dungeon and had not yet completed the Liyue dungeon, her reputation as a traveler from another world had not yet spread in Xumi.

In the game's plot, most of the desert mercenaries were polite when they met Ying and Paimon, all out of fear of her strength and fame.

The Ying here has no reputation, no God's Eye, and looks like a young lady who has sneaked out of home. The people of the Gilded Brigade will not be polite to Ying.

As a famous village in the Dachishahai, Aru Village is obviously unique.

Aru Village is located in the mountains. The surrounding peaks make Aru Village a natural solid fortress. It not only isolates the wind and sand, but also blocks the malice from the desert, making it a safe haven that can correct itself in such a harsh environment as the desert.

Compared with many other villages built on desert oases that Ying had seen, the biggest feature of Aru Village is that the villagers located in the valley no longer have to wear masks when they go out, because in other places, as long as they are not indoors, they will eat a mouthful of sand when they open their mouths.

In addition to the terrain, the reason why Aru Village has been able to survive for so long is also due to its abundant resources.

When it comes to resources in the desert, the most precious thing that comes to mind first is undoubtedly water.

In Aru Village, there is an underground river with a lot of water under the village. If you open the map in the game, you will find that the location of Aru Village is surrounded by green, which symbolizes water.

This water alone was enough to cause people in the desert to scramble for it.

Fortunately, Candice has always been guarding this place. Perhaps the abundant water resources are also the reason why Candice is worried about Aru Village.

In the desert, water resources are undoubtedly precious, and among the desert people who generally have a low moral bottom line, there is no shortage of people who steal poison from water sources after failing to steal water, so it is undoubtedly very important to screen people entering Aru Village.

And Aru Village does not refuse outsiders to join, the only requirement is to abide by the rules here.

But for some reason, perhaps because the people in the desert don’t like being bound by rules, very few of the desert people who come to Aru Village stay.

If a passerby wants to ask for water to drink in Aru Village, the villagers of Aru Village will not refuse such a request.

Over time, this miraculous place, Aru Village, has been miraculously preserved and has become a famous safe haven in the desert.

After Nashida left the Jingshan Palace, returned to the throne of the Grass God and took back her own rights, the lives of the people of Xumi became much better, and the lives of the desert people also improved significantly.

Just like the Aru Village in front of us, both adults and children have smiles on their faces, without the sad expressions caused by livelihood troubles as before.

Caravans from the rainforest brought goods from the rainforest to the desert. Lower prices and more abundant goods than ever before allowed many wealthy desert people to start a novel shopping experience.

The caravan will also purchase handicrafts made by the desert people at an appropriate price, as well as materials from magical beasts unique to the desert, such as the skins of sandworms, the poisonous needles of desert scorpions, and so on.

Dolly, who received the task of opening up a desert caravan from Nashida, was very conscientious and lowered the price to a level where both parties could earn Mora, instead of deceiving these desert people who did not know the price of handicrafts.

Logically speaking, if it wasn't for the reward Lu Ming promised, Dolly would not have accepted the mission even if it was sent by Nashida herself.

Starting a caravan in the desert like this is dangerous and laborious, and you won't earn much Mora. Sometimes you'll get rejected when you encounter a tribe with a weird temper. Let whoever is willing to do this job do it.

But who could blame Lu Ming for giving her so much? When Dolly thought of Lu Ming's promise to make her the agent distributor of Element Mobile Phones in the Xumi region, she couldn't help but fantasize about the days of sleeping on Mora and counting money.

As one of the people who owns Element mobile phones, Dolly can see the amazing market profits of Element mobile phones.

Actually, Dolly's action of going to the desert to open up trade routes was not too dangerous.

If it was during the reign of the Great Sage, going to the desert to do business would have been extremely dangerous. Not to mention that the Order would prohibit the transportation of goods to the desert, the dangerous environment in the desert and the endless desert bandits would make it strange that it could be safe.

But now is Nashida's time.

Nashida, who has been recognized by the three gods, the Red King, the Flower God, and the Great Compassionate Tree King, is a well-deserved God of Sumeru. The only thing Dolly, who has been ordered by Nashida to open up a desert trade route, has to worry about is the harsh weather conditions in the desert.

As for whether there were any foolish people trying to rob Dolly, Dolly's guards wouldn't even need to take action. The desert people who had a bit of brains would kill those stupid thieves.

The gods of Xumi intend to make life better for the desert people by opening up trade routes. If you come here to make trouble, aren't you provoking the gods and slapping the faces of everyone in Xumi!

As Nashida's messenger, Dolly chose to offer discounts when selling goods to the desert people in order to complete the task quickly and beautifully. Sometimes the selling price of the goods was even lower than the shipping cost. Dolly's behavior also won the friendship of the desert tribes.

Dolly, who was considered by the desert people to be losing money by subsidizing the desert people, did some calculations and chuckled. She thought that even though she lost a little money, she would surely make it back tenfold or a hundredfold once she got the exclusive agency rights for the Element mobile phone.

With the opening of the trade route, merchants who saw profitability began to sell goods from all over the world along the trade route opened by Dolly, and then purchased desert specialties and transported them to other places for sale.

Aru Village is also one of the beneficiaries of this trade route.

Because of the existence of the trade route, the villagers of Aru Village no longer have to eat cactus and scorpion meat all the time, and the prices of food ingredients such as flour and rice that were once expensive have also become cheap.

At the banquet, Paimon was pleasantly surprised to find that he could taste specialties from many other countries, such as Mondstadt's sweet flower-stuffed chicken, Liyue's clay pot chicken, and Inazuma's tri-color dumplings.

These foods were specially prepared by Candice for Ying and Paimont to thank them for their help to Xumi.

As a member of the Xumi chat group, Candice knew that Ying and Paimon had come to Xumi with Lu Ming and Lady Nashida. Ying was crucial as a means of transportation in the plan to save Xumi.

In order to thank Ying and Paimon, Candice and others not only bought specialty ingredients from many countries from the caravan, but also specially asked friends from other countries for recipes of local specialty ingredients through elemental phones.

The elemental phone does make the distance in Teyvat smaller.
