In Teyvat, it all begins with rescuing the grass god.

This is a standard dining table for the Sumeru Man.

Due to the climate, the rice yield in the Xumi Rainforest area is very high, with two or even three harvests a year. This multi-season rice has long grains, a hard texture, and a less intense aroma.

Therefore, many ways of eating Sumeru Vegetables involve pouring the vegetables over rice to compensate for this shortcoming.

For example, the sabuz stew that Rod is eating now.

This is a stew made by cooking a variety of green vegetables and chunks of meat together. The broth is rich and flavorful, with a spicy and varied taste, plus the subtle sourness of lemon juice, making it perfect for serving with rice.

Both Rhodes and Desia are martial arts practitioners and have large appetites.

These two portions of meat and one vegetable dish were not enough for the two of them, so Dixia ordered two more portions of stewed meat, and only then were they barely full.

Just as the two had finished their meal and were preparing to leave...

Rod's gaze was drawn to a group of new customers who had just entered the store.

Judging from their clothing, which is different from that of people in the rainforest, and their darker skin, which is more pronounced than that of people in the rainforest.

They were a group of desert people.

Six people in total.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a mustache and wearing a straw hat.

Judging from the large and small bags behind them, they were clearly merchants from the desert.

However, what attracted Rhodes' attention was not their identity as desert merchants, but rather the fact that each of them was wearing something that Rhodes was all too familiar with.

The emblem of the Tanit tribe.

Rhodes, who had just been chatting and laughing with Desia, suddenly clenched his fists and stared intently at the Tanit people who were ordering food.

Chapter 15: Dark Moon and High Wind, Killing Night

Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.

This statement perfectly describes Rod's current state.

His eyes were really red!

The images of being robbed, imprisoned, beaten, and nearly killed by the Tanit tribe's bandits flashed through Rhodes' mind, and he wished he could tear all the Tanit tribesmen in front of him to pieces right now.

Even though his fists were clenched so tightly they were cracking, Rhodes still endured it and forced himself to turn his head back.

This is Kawan Station.

You can't kill someone in the street.

In particular, one should not commit murder in a place with so many witnesses.

Otherwise, with Rhodes' current abilities, he wouldn't be able to escape the pursuit of the thirty-person group, even if he fled to a foreign land.

The stable life we ​​finally achieved.

Rhodes didn't want to lose it all for nothing because of this bunch of scum.

"Are those people problematic?"

While others didn't notice Rhodes's abnormality, Desia was able to.

how to say.

Rhodes's eyes now looked exactly like those of the most ferocious holy beast in the desert.

What could make the gentle-natured Rhodes unleash such a ferocious killing intent?

no doubt.

These people in front of him must have a grudge against him, and a serious one at that.

"nothing."

"got the wrong person."

Rhodes didn't explain much, but tried his best to keep a calm expression so that others wouldn't notice anything unusual.

It's indeed not a good place to kill someone in Kawan Post Station.

But once they leave Kawanyi, no one can protect them anymore.

Therefore, there is no need to rush, especially to avoid alerting the Tanit tribe members in advance.

"got the wrong person?"

This flimsy excuse naturally wouldn't fool Dixia.

She glanced at the group of people from the Tanit tribe, then raised an eyebrow: "People from the Tanit tribe?"

She recognized the emblems of almost all the tribes in the desert.

She was even more familiar with top-tier tribes like the Tanit tribe.

Talk about it.

The Blazing Beast Hunter had also dealt with the Tanit tribe once.

However, it wasn't a friendly form of communication.

The Tanit tribe is notorious for its desert bandits; any caravans, tribes, or mercenary groups they target are rarely allowed to survive.

While on a guard duty, the Blazing Beast happened to run into the Tanit tribe, who had come to raid them.

At that time, the Blazing Beast Hunters were still an unknown small mercenary group.

However, facing a band of robbers ten times their size, the Blazing Beasts fought to the death, refusing to yield an inch. In the end, they defeated the Tanit tribe at the cost of thirteen people, two of whom were permanently crippled, and even suffered serious injuries themselves. This victory established the Blazing Beasts and the Blazing Mane Lions' formidable reputation.

strictly speaking.

Dixia and the Tanit tribe also have a history of enmity.

However, after that great battle, the Tanit tribe seemed to realize that the Blazing Beast was not to be trifled with. Since then, when the Blazing Beast was carrying out its missions, it never saw anyone from the Tanit tribe causing trouble again.

I don't know if he was worried that Dixia would persuade him to give up revenge, or if he didn't want to implicate Dixia because of his revenge killing.

In short, Rhodes never mentioned his personal grudge against the Tanit tribe.

He didn't even give Dixia a chance to speak, nor did he look at the Tanit tribe again. He simply stood up calmly and said, "I'm sorry, I have things to do today, so I probably won't have time to go back to Aru Village. If the matter of the Blazing Beast Hunt is urgent, you can go back first."

"It's just a small order to receive goods; it's okay if I'm not there."

Dixia didn't expose Rhodes's thoughts and smiled, "I'll stay here with you. By the way, there's only one hotel in the city. If we don't book in advance, we'll be sleeping on the streets tonight."

"Only one hotel?"

Rod narrowed his eyes slightly, then his brows relaxed and he said, "Alright, let's go there first."

A journey through the gold dust.

This is the only inn in Kavan Station that Dixia mentioned.

Fortunately.

When Rhodes and Desia arrived, there was no dramatic scene of only one room left.

After booking the room.

Rod left in a hurry, without even having time to say goodbye.

Dixia didn't stop him. She calmly watched his figure disappear into the crowd, then smiled and returned to her room.

Rod left.

They didn't return until evening.

Before he returned, the merchants from the Tanit tribe had just completed their check-in procedures.

Rod found Desia with a normal expression and treated her to a good meal at the barbecue restaurant on the first floor.

have to say.

The billboards in front of the Golden Sands Tour are not just boasting.

Their barbecue is indeed very good, much better than the barbecue I've had elsewhere.

Let's go back tomorrow.

During the meal, Rhodes spoke to Desia.

There was nothing unusual about his face; in fact, he even had a slight smile on his face.

"Oh? You've finished your business?"

"Dishia asked with a curious look on her face."

She had seen everything clearly about the Tanit tribe coming to stay.

And she followed Rhodes all the way.

Just as she expected, Rhodes did not make a move in Kavan Station.

So when Rhodes said he would leave the next day, it was somewhat unexpected for her.

According to Dixia's idea.

If we want to take action against the Tanit tribe, leaving the city is definitely the best option.

But look at it now.

It seems that Rhodes has no other opportunity but tonight to make his move within the city.

'Has he given up on revenge?'

Dixia pondered to herself.

Taking action within the city of Kavan is clearly not a good option.

As a key border town of Xumi, the thirty-person group stationed at Kawanyi was not a small number.

If it's just a group of thirty people, then it's fine.

They're just a bunch of power-hungry good-for-nothings. Forget about murder cases that require arresting the culprit; even if you kill someone right in front of them, as long as you give them enough money, they won't say a word. They might even smile and take you to a safe place.

However, things got complicated with the instructors who were in charge of supervising the group of thirty.
