Sit in the front seat of the car.

The road was a bit bumpy, and I didn’t cover my eyes this time…

I can understand why I didn’t cover my eyes. The route inside is more important than the route outside. However, in low-lying areas, wouldn’t a handful of water flood them?

After looking left and right for a long time, he asked, "Are all the mountains here so high? It's so spectacular. What kind of tree is this? Why are the leaves this color? Is this the sea?"

I knew the reason why the mountain was so high, the color of the leaves, and the geographical location, but I pretended to be curious. After all, this was my "first time" here...

"I don't understand. Is it possible that you scholars don't understand something? I thought you knew everything."

The person who was speaking was also the one who covered his eyes. It seemed that he was the leader of the five people...

"Of course I don't know. Is there a bookstore here? I want to buy more books... Forget it, there's no need to buy too many. It's dark there and I can't see clearly..." He pretended to be conflicted and finally sighed.

"As long as you show your loyalty, there will be better conditions... Don't worry, the money prepared this time is enough. If there is anything you want, you can buy it directly as a reward for your research results."

That's really worthless. You're just trying to fool me with these things.

"My loyalty to the Lord God will naturally be proven by time... But I am a little worried about my family. Have I told you? They are very young children. If I leave for too long, they may not even eat well. I am a little worried..."

"If you can show your loyalty during this month, you can naturally go back. As long as you come back within the specified time, everything will be dedicated to the Lord God!" Okay, okay, if it weren't for this last sentence, I would have thought I was committing a crime. If I behave well, I will have the opportunity to visit my relatives, right?

What's the difference between this and being in prison? You need to do mental and physical labor for a long time, live in a place without light, and squeeze together with others. Well, this is my own fault. As long as Deshier leaves my sight, he will always cause some trouble...

In other words, everyone seems to dislike him. Is it because his hair looks too much like flowing water?

"By the way, when are we going back today? If it's too late, do we have to eat here?"

"Because we purchase so many items, it usually takes a few hours for us to get back to the camp. Don't worry, we usually eat outside..." He answered the questions patiently, and I could understand that these questions seemed to be the rigor unique to scholars.

"That's good. Compared to others, I'm not very resistant to hunger and eat more. I hope I don't scare you..." I once ate six normal-sized buns in one morning... It was really a dark history. But those days were really tiring. It was military training that required standing for several hours a day and marching, which was very exhausting. It also happened to be the hottest days.

"Don't worry, this is normal. As far as I know, scholars need to engage in mental occupations, which consume a lot of energy for thinking and they will often feel tired and hungry." Most people who engage in mental occupations are more fond of sugar. This is because it requires a lot of energy, but if the body cannot consume this energy in time, they will gain weight.

"How long will it take? The sun is a bit too strong..." Indeed, I haven't seen the sun for a long time. After being exposed to the sun for a while, I sweated a lot and felt uncomfortable.

"Perhaps it's been too long since you last saw the sun, so the clothes you're wearing are a bit thick. The weather here is even hotter than in Mondstadt. Don't worry, we'll be there soon. By the way, you and I will be together for the rest of the journey, so please don't leave my sight."

I see. You're here to watch over me... to prevent me from running away? How could I just run away when I came out for the first time?!

Of course, you have to be rigorous. You need to plan the escape route, escape plan, who to look for after escaping, and who to seek help from. All these need to be planned well.

"Don't worry, but this is my first time here, so I'm sure I'll get lost. You have to keep an eye on me. I'm a directionally challenged person and I always lose track of the way. It would be difficult if I accidentally get lost in an unfamiliar place."

"As long as you walk with me, we will never get lost accidentally." He emphasized the word "accidentally" and one could hear the meaning behind it.

"Okay, I understand. Is that the entrance to the city?" There is still a city gate here, which is at the bridgehead. The city gate at the bridgehead can provide good defense. If you really encounter a lot of enemy forces that you cannot deal with, you can just break the bridge. One side is surrounded by mountains, and the other side is the sea. Only that bridge can lead to the place, which is a very good means of defense.

"Long time no see, Mr. Tang. This is just a routine checkup. Please forgive me."

"Of course I can understand. It's not easy for you, right? Oh, this is a newcomer, a scholar, who is here to help us select the goods." He chatted with her like a friend he hadn't seen for a long time. "Let me be the guarantor. As for the name, let's write Aimbo. Wait a minute, there are many homophones for these characters. Let me write it."

They all pretended to be very good... But why doesn't this god have a good enough industry? As far as I know, many of his people are businessmen. Is it to get first-hand information by mixing with other gods?

"Okay, let us go." He gestured and the thing blocking the door was pulled open. What was that thing called? Not sure.

I didn’t wear a coat, but it was still very hot today. It’s almost autumn, oh well…

I was first taken to look for electric crystals. Good and bad goods were mixed together. For ordinary people, it was as difficult as picking out the less perfect ones from a pile of gems. But for people who could sense elemental forces, it was as easy as separating stones from refined gold.

According to the requirements, they were selected and completed quickly. Some of them only looked defective on the outside, but the energy contained in them was sufficient. It seemed that they were accidentally bumped on the road. Electric crystals are actually extremely fragile. If they contain more energy, they will appear more fragile and more easily reacted, so those electric crystals are most likely ugly.

After I took it, I paid the money. The price was a little lower than I expected. I didn't pay for it myself. I looked at the jewelry store in the distance. There were very simple wooden hairpins, but they were very beautiful. I took one look and then looked away. These things were not necessary now.
