Genshin Impact: Rise of the Desert

“Sanjay Alashan is a good man. His wounds are all on the front, and you can tell that he did not retreat a single step in the fight.”

"Tell Gerdonzan that because of the injuries to his facial bones during the battle, Flora saved his life but also took away his smile for life."

"And Batu Naiman, he hasn't been able to ride a horse for the past month. Tell him to be careful with his legs in his daily life."

"And you!"

Ivan kept telling South Carolina about the injured man, who was writing it down in a small notebook.

Suddenly, Ivan launched an attack, slapping Nanka Cairang hard across the face.

"You bastard! You have some nerve! Cai Rang, haven't I told you that a newborn life is more important than ten healthy lives? If everyone treated their cubs like you, Moscow would be deserted in a few decades!"

Nanka Cairang tearfully admitted his mistake, and Ivan stopped after scolding him a few times. He knew that Nanka Cairang was worried about the safety of his brothers; he had always been an impatient person.

After calming down, he returned to the tribe with the Fontaine people.

The group of Fontainebleau residents received an extremely warm welcome in Moscow.

The reason was that the noblewomen among them, seeing the children picking up sheep dung, were overflowing with maternal love and gave them a few pieces of candy and some small coins as souvenirs.

The desert is known for its cunning, shrewdness, brutality, belligerence, and ruthlessness, yet its people are simple and honest. The children took the candy home; even though fruit is high in sugar, candy is rare and a luxury in the desert.

The child's family expressed their gratitude to the person who gave them the candy and invited them to their home.

They served a large selection of dairy products such as yogurt, milk tofu, and milk tea.

With each household having more than ten sheep, every family brewed yogurt to preserve food. Those with more sheep milk produced milk powder for even greater storage.

Some of the Fontaines were invited to his home, while the rest were ordered by Ivan to have their tents set up.

After three days together, the people of Fontainebleau deeply felt the friendliness and hospitality of the Muscovites. Dairy products, which are somewhat expensive in Fontainebleau, were served directly to the Fontainebleau residents by the desert people.

Monster corpses, which are usually reserved for the refined tables of nobles, have appeared on the tables of the Fontaines, along with countless fruits.

Many women who wanted to lose weight gained several pounds in these three days.

During these three days, Ivan read through Silhind's notes.

That ancient hybridization journal was a diary, which detailed hybridization, exploration, and ancient monsters in ancient rainforest script.

Ancient rainforests and deserts were one, and ancient rainforest script would be found on the stone slabs and books left by our ancestors. Ivan learned this naturally from elementary school.

"I'll fuck your mother..."

"Nima's..."

The above two sentences were the two sentences that Navia, Silver, and Myles heard most often from Ivan while he was reading, when they were staying at his house.

Ivan flipped through his journal, a feeling of utter utter dismay washing over him.

What kind of bullshit is this "Ancient Hybridization Notes"? It's just a setting book!

The journal became increasingly disorganized towards the end, and it contained extensive records of a secret realm called "Erinus Gold." This realm was formed by the collision of souls when the giant beast Erinus died, and the author even witnessed the birth of Melusin.

Because it is a creation of the soul, its secret realm is filled with dreamlike plants, and the author's experiment was also conducted in this secret realm.

The journal also describes several Time Gods going to the secret realm to capture the Abyss Apostles who had fallen into the secret realm with them, and Ivan is somewhat skeptical of the authenticity of the journal.

Reading the journal was just for entertainment. Under normal circumstances, Ivan fawned over Navia, Charles de Mansos, the charterer of the cruise ship, and Meloshene Belle without any dignity, and successfully won a chance to travel to Fontaine by cruise ship!

Ebel even guaranteed that he would meet Fontaine's regent, the Grand Inquisitor Navilette.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Ivan hugged Abel and kissed her.

And today is the day to head to Fontainebleau.

Witnessed by the people of Fontainebleau, Ivan led the way in kneeling before the sinkhole, while the shaman Perm played and sang the "Song of Ahmar".

After crossing the Hilichurl territory, Ivan and his nine trusted men boarded the ship with the Fontaines.

He swore an oath again.

If his return does not improve the lives of his people, he will bleed to death.

Carrying the hopes and worries of his people, Ivan once again embarked on an unknown journey!

“Ivan Rurik, you are my greatest work. How can I watch my masterpiece be destroyed at its peak?”

"I was already satisfied when you led me to the gold of Erinus. I have no regrets in this life."

"For the legacy of the King of the Great Crimson Sands, for your bloodline, for me! Live well...
