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

"Look, he taught us how to build those suspension bridges and sandstorm protection measures in the village."

"Ugh--"

"We were poor back then, we couldn't even afford medicine, and many people could only wait to die when they got sick."

"After seeing this, he used all his money to buy medicine and personally took care of the sick people."

"What a shame, what a shame."

Good people don't live long—

At this point, Lishti's voice became wistful.

Kavi's body trembled slightly, and with a sob in his voice, he asked with difficulty, "How...how did he die?"

"Back then, your father would often leave the village to go on expeditions in the desert."

"I once asked him what he was looking for?"

"He said he wanted to talk to someone from some group called Naga something."

"Later, when he went on an expedition, he encountered a caravan that was stuck in quicksand on his way back. He saved many people, but he himself did not return."

Speaking of it.

Kavi completely lost control of his emotions, and tears streamed down his face.

After Lishti finished speaking, tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.

“Right here, we found half of a letter he hadn’t finished writing; it was for his children and his wife.”

"After he died, my son carried that tattered letter with him, thinking that there might be an opportunity in the future to pass it on to his children."

"But he didn't even leave his name. We tried many methods and asked many people, but we still couldn't find where his child was."

Broken letter!

Kavi wiped away his tears and asked anxiously, "Is the letter still there?"

"No more."

At this point, Lishti lowered her head in shame, her voice tinged with sadness as she said, "My son became a mercenary in order to have a better life. Just a few years ago, his mercenary group clashed with another mercenary group, he lost his life, and all his belongings were taken from him."

"Ugh--"

Upon hearing that the letter was gone, Kavi closed his eyes and let out a long, disappointed sigh.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't get a letter from your father."

Lishti said apologetically, "Your father has helped us so much, and we haven't even been able to do this little thing. We're so sorry, so sorry."

"I don't blame you."

"I wish I had come sooner."

Kavi comforted the tearful Lishti, then looked at Rhodes and said, "Rhodes, can I have some peace and quiet here?"

"it is good."

Rhodes nodded and left the house with Rishti.

only.

They had just stepped out the door.

Then, a long-suppressed sob came from the room. The sob contained regret, annoyance, and relief, as if the burden that had weighed on him for many years had finally been lifted.

"They really do have the exact same personality."

After saying this, Rod shook his head slightly, sat down by the door, and waited for Kavi to finish venting his emotions.

Chapter 97 The Conditions of Dolly's Investment

Kavi spent the entire day in the house where his father used to live.

Rod didn't disturb him, and just quietly stood guard outside.

Several elderly people came by in between.

Rod didn't recognize him.

But knowing that they had all received kindness from Kavi's father, they wanted to see their benefactor's child.

Especially those elderly people who insist on staying in the village to teach.

When they mentioned that the knowledge they were teaching their children came from Kavi's father, tears welled up in their eyes.

"He led us out of ignorance."

"Although he is gone, we cannot let his hard work go to waste."

These were the words those old men said as they left.

In this regard.

Rod was deeply moved.

He had never seen what Aru Village was like before.

However, we can still get a glimpse of the truth from what these elderly people say.

Before Uncle Ampu and Candice opened up trade between Aru Village and the rainforest region, Aru Village was actually in a similar situation to those desert tribes.

It can be said that they have almost all the problems that desert tribes have.

Of these, ignorance is the most profoundly impactful.

Twenty years ago in Aru Village, literate people accounted for less than one percent of the total population. To say that the average person had not received prenatal education was an exaggeration.

It was Kavi's father who brought knowledge and the idea that knowledge can change destiny, leading the former village of Aru out of ignorance and enabling this poor and backward village to learn for the first time how to use knowledge to improve their lives.

Not to mention that he designed many facilities to protect the village from sandstorms, and those facilities are still in use today.

In addition, he taught the villagers many simple remedies, saving many villagers who would have otherwise been left to die.

Altruist.

Idealist.

A pragmatist.

A real man.

This is Rod's assessment of Kavi's father after hearing these things.

have to say.

This father and son really do look alike.

They are so alike in every way.

When it was completely dark...

Kavi has finally come out.

Candice, who had been busy all day, also arrived.

She was accompanied by Dixia.

The two were chatting and laughing, seemingly discussing something pleasant.

Candice then invited Carvy and Rod to sit at the village chief's house.

As expected.

Rod and Cavie had no objections and followed behind Candice.

soon.

The group then arrived at Uncle Anpu's house.

A sumptuous dinner had already been prepared on the table.

Although the food on this table may seem simple compared to the meals served to guests in the rainforest, it represents the highest level of hospitality that Aru Village can offer.

Like Rishti.

When Uncle Amp first saw Kavi, he was also taken aback for a moment, and then exclaimed, "If you didn't know better, you would think that your father had returned to the village."

Kavi smiled, no longer looking as melancholy as he had during the day, and then sat down with Roddishia and the others.

Having been hungry all day, he didn't hold back at all, and openly wolfed down his food, acting as if he were no outsider, even more at ease than Rod.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill.

Uncle Anpu then got down to business.

This was something that Rhodes had already informed him of after reaching an agreement with Kavi in ​​Sumeru City.

Kavi, one of the top architects in Sumeru, will be responsible for designing and constructing the infrastructure for Aru Village.

When this matter is mentioned...

That inevitably leads to the issue of money.

Although Rod helped resolve Cavie's salary issue.

However, without the funding from the Church of Jesus, Aru Village alone would have no way to complete the infrastructure projects mentioned in Rhodes' letter.

Moreover, let alone completing the entire set of planned infrastructure, just renovating the school and building a hospital has already made Uncle Anpu bitterly admit that he is short of money and simply cannot afford to build them.

"I've brought you an investor."

"She was willing to lend the village a loan to help it complete its infrastructure construction."

"But the prerequisite is that the village must first show her enough sincerity to make a profit and break even."

The investor in Rod's words.

It was Dolly who had come with them but was abandoned halfway there.

When we talked about this.

Rod went to great lengths and used every trick in the book, practically wearing his lips out, to finally persuade Dolly to reluctantly agree to come and take a look.
