His wife was furious and decided to teach her husband a lesson: "We can be poor, but we can't be reckless!"
Jebari was truly heartbroken. Desia, you've ruined my life!
Dixia was unaware, and Dixia continued speaking:
"The common characteristic of these people is their lack of money. The worse their lives are, the more willing they are to believe in the Red King. For them, the Red King's resurrection is the only chance to overthrow the Council of the Church."
Jebari's wife listened and found it increasingly plausible; the family was indeed short of money. No, he had to be taught a lesson!
After reading Dixia's sharp comment, other readers' speculations about whether they were three-dynasty saints vanished; they figured it wouldn't be that low.
Pilgrims making pilgrimages because they have no money? That's ridiculous!
Dolly disagreed with this idea; her 'pilgrimage' was truly for money, as she was a unique 'believer' of the Rock God in Sumeru.
For Moradoli, she would be willing to go on a pilgrimage or even live in a villa.
Chapter 586 Sand Control Walls Are More Than Just Sand Control Walls
In the story, Dixia shared a lot of information, and the traveler wanted to ask more questions about these people, but Dixia gestured to the traveler with her eyes to keep quiet.
Readers who saw Dixia winking in the illustration couldn't help but conclude: She winked at me, she likes me!
Obviously not. Dixia simply didn't want the eavesdroppers to hear information they shouldn't have.
The Traveler was unaware of the eavesdropper's presence, and her "Shadow Sister's Startle" skill did not trigger. Fortunately, the "team voice chat" was still working, and the Traveler understood what Dixia meant.
Sino didn't ask any more questions; he just wanted to leave immediately, he couldn't wait any longer.
However, Dixia stopped him and told him to stay in Aru Village and wait, leaving the task of finding the mercenaries to her.
[What Desia meant was: "Compared to you, a mercenary like me is nothing more than a third-rate soldier, with negligible combat ability. But there's a corresponding advantage: it's easier to gain trust."]
A third-rate mercenary with negligible combat abilities? Readers were quite taken aback by Dixia's self-assessment.
Whether Dixia was saying it intentionally for the eavesdroppers to hear or was genuinely mocking herself, readers found it somewhat absurd.
Desia is a fighter who can wipe out an entire mercenary group and only suffer minor scratches. The reason for her injury is that she's not used to wielding the greatsword.
For this reason, readers are pretty sure that Dixia said this only for the person who was eavesdropping, otherwise none of the people present would have believed her.
But in fact, Dixia does have a tendency to make fun of herself, so when she said this, it didn't seem out of place at all, and she successfully fooled the eavesdropper.
Regardless of what Dixia said, Seno wouldn't argue with it.
Candice, however, was worried that Seno might be upset and comforted him.
[Sino: "No, I'm often seen that way. It's normal to fear power. Don't worry about it."]
Originally, no one minded, because everyone could see that Dixia was just fooling people.
But after hearing what Sino said, everyone became a little concerned and felt that Sino was a bit pitiful.
From my earlier conversation with Paimon, I could tell that he was often described as fierce, but now I realize that he is also often said to be distrusted.
In real life, Dixia also felt somewhat guilty. Although the characters in the story hadn't yet achieved mutual trust, they were already friends in real life.
In reality, Sino didn't care at all, and even had the mood to tell jokes.
"Is the reason you won't let me go because I'm an adventurer?" Seno asked.
Before Dixia could answer, Paimon asked in confusion, "What does this have to do with adventurers?"
“Travelers are adventurers, didn’t Dixia invite travelers to come along?”
Sino shook his finger to indicate 'no,' saying, 'I meant 'hat showman.'
He meant that his hat was too conspicuous, which could be considered a form of self-deprecation.
However, without explanation, not everyone can understand these subtle puns. Only people like Lin Qiu, Nasida, and Tinali, who are familiar with Sino jokes, can understand them immediately.
Then Tinari fell into deep thought: Why was he always able to catch Seno's lame jokes so quickly? Did he have a problem too?
Elhesen understood, but he didn't want to understand at all and automatically ignored it.
Some might ask, if we're talking about the 'hat' of Seno, isn't the Traveler's blond hair also quite conspicuous? There aren't many blond people in Sumeru.
There's no need to worry about that, because the traveler's blond hair serves as camouflage in the desert.
In the story, the traveler and Dixia return to Kavan Station together for a 'friendly meeting'.
The first building that catches the eye before arriving at Kawan Post Station is naturally the sand-proof wall. The towering wall isolates the sandstorms and also keeps the desert people away.
[Dixia said, "Only after growing up did I realize that the sand barrier not only kept out the wind and sand, but also kept people like us out."]
"Mount Sumeru is controlled by great sages; in their hearts, the desert people are utterly insignificant, merely tools that exist only when necessary."
"Cheap labor, easy-to-use livestock...that's all."
The desert people were very supportive of Dixia's remarks. They had previously disliked the Grass God and had always worshipped the Red King.
The reason for this is that, in their view, the Kyoryūin (or Kyoryūin) and the Kōryūshin (or Kōryūshin) are on the same side, and isolating them is also the Kōryūshin's intention.
Because of this isolation, the Desert Mistress's entire collection of Mora, even after her death, was only enough for Paimon's monthly food expenses...
The prophecy book became popular in the desert because it was so cheap; they couldn't afford other books for entertainment.
Moreover, possessing books without permission is a crime in Sumeru, thankfully the desert is less regulated.
Now that they have read the prophecy, they know that the Grass God and the Church are actually enemies, and that 'wisdom' is the enemy of the God of Wisdom!
As soon as Nasita took the throne, she opened the entrance to the sand barrier, eliminating all barriers. The Grass God always treated them as his own people.
The Church Council, on the other hand, treated all Sumerians as cheap tools, regardless of whether they were from the rainforest or the desert.
The desert people thought they were the only ones being treated this way, but after reading the previous stories, they realized that the people in the rainforest weren't much better off.
However, rainforests still have advantages over deserts, namely resources and room for progress.
[Dishia: "Even if the children in the desert have the opportunity to obtain a Void Terminal, almost all their knowledge requests are rejected. In the eyes of the Order of the Church, we are not qualified."]
In this respect, the rainforest people are at least somewhat permitted, which is slightly better than the desert people.
However, knowledge remains a resource under the control of the Council of Religion, and they do not distribute it to ordinary people.
The desert is even worse off; knowledge of the void is unavailable, and books are contraband.
Under these circumstances, it is truly remarkable that Setare was able to gain admission to the Faculty of Arts.
"Aside from once-in-a-century geniuses like Setale, ordinary children basically have no chance of turning their lives around... even though they know that we are human beings just like them."
Even as a once-in-a-century genius in the desert, Setare could only be a follower and do errands at the Faculty.
There's nothing that can be done about it; the two sides started from completely different points, and Setare couldn't defeat them no matter how hard she tried.
She just wanted to stay in the rainforest, and she was almost at the finish line when she realized that everyone else's starting point was right there.
Now that she's entered the Order of the Church, even ordinary rainforest people are discriminated against by the people there, let alone a desert person like her.
Even more so because she entered the Order of the Church, some people became even more disgusted with her, and they did not want to admit that they were equal to her.
In their view, Setare, a desert woman, should not stay in the Church of Christ; she should be one level below them. How could she be on equal footing with them?

Chapter 587 Capturing the 'Three Dynasties Saint'
This is why Setare suddenly became so devoted to Nasita; she had been discriminated against and ignored for too long.
At the Academy of Teachings, she was just an insignificant nobody. No, not nobody cared about her; those high-ranking scholars actually looked down on her.
There were hardly any desert dwellers in the entire Church, so she was all alone in the Church.
So when someone, still such a high and mighty 'person,' suddenly pays attention to her, or even has been paying attention to her all along, how could she not be moved when she heard the news?
The gods had been watching over her, even giving her opportunities; she was one of their people! At that moment, her faith became unshakable.
However, at this point in the story, Dixia doesn't have any faith.
[Dishia lowered her head and clenched her fist: "...If possible, I really want to destroy this wall with my own hands."]
The traveler was a little worried that Dixia might cause trouble here, as this was the only entrance to the rainforest, and if she caused trouble, they wouldn't be able to get in.
They can still get in now, since they're only plotting a rebellion and haven't been wanted yet.
The Doctor usually has his own agenda, and he doesn't share the Traveler's situation with the Great Sage. The Doctor usually finds the Gilded Guild to help the Traveler.
The traveler's worries were unnecessary. What Dixia really wanted to destroy was not the wall itself, but the wall in people's hearts.
Prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain that cannot be moved or broken.
The only thing that can be done is to cross mountains and valleys, establish sufficient connections and communication between the two sides, and gradually understand each other. This is what Sumeru is doing now: 'assimilation' and 'integration'.
The traveler, unaware of Dixia's thoughts, changed the subject to what to look for when gathering intelligence.
[Dixia bluntly stated: "Shh! There's a lot of foot traffic around Kavan Station. Be careful what you say, don't let anyone discover our purpose."]
Readers from other countries were a bit confused by Dixia's words. "Be careful what you say?" "Your previous statement was even more explosive, wasn't it?"
To put it bluntly, this could already be considered a 'rebellion,' right? After all, this is a project that directly impacts people's livelihoods.
However, the Sumeru people did not find anything wrong with it. The reason was that Dixia's statement was perfectly normal for the desert people.
These ideas are completely mainstream among the desert people, the kind that the guards don't even react to, and they often hear these kinds of complaints.
Even the guards wanted to say, 'That sounds nice, I love hearing it, please say more!'
Don't forget, the guards on this side of the rainforest are a 'group of thirty,' most of whom are also desert people.
The fact that he didn't give Dixia a thumbs up after hearing her words already shows his high level of professionalism and loyalty!
In the story, Dixia and the traveler walked straight past the guards and went into the tavern in Kavan Station to gather information.
Travelers are interesting; they've been to pubs in all sorts of countries, but haven't really drunk much alcohol.
This time was no exception. We didn't drink any alcohol, but we found the person. Although it wasn't one of the three people we were looking for, this person was fine too.
[Zhaqi: "Oh! Hello, hello, my name is Zhaqi, I'm from Dixia's... how should we talk, drinking buddies?"]
Dixia bluntly stated that she wanted to find a 'three-dynasty saint,' ostensibly to do business.
This man named Zhaqi claims to have met the 'Three-Day Saint' and can take the travelers there; they seem to be good friends.
Zhaqi: I can introduce you to the 'Three Holy Ones'.
However, what readers find strange is that the interaction between the two has a theatrical feel to it, with them speaking in affected and pretentious manners.
Soon everyone knew what was going on: this man named Zazi had led the traveler and Dixia into a trap, where mercenaries surrounded them.
Now I understand, they were just putting on an act.
You think the mercenaries have surrounded Desia and the Traveler? Wrong. Actually, it's Desia and the Traveler who have surrounded the mercenaries.
Paimon looked frightened: "How could this happen... I shouldn't have left Seno in the village..."
Well, it turns out that Paimon's acting skills were already being honed around this time.
She should have been sent to an acting academy for further training sooner. She has potential, and she could have benefited from the "version bonus" if she went to Fontainebleau.
Seeing how terrified Paimon was of Zazi, he became even more smug and boasted about how sharp his intelligence was, knowing that you had left your strongest fighting force in Aru Village.
He even stated that the desert people are very united, and that they are allies with Deliwa.
Perhaps because the advantage was on my side, this man named Zhaqi started frantically leaking information.
However, all the information he obtained was actually false. Desia's combat strength was not weak at all, and the real strongest combat force was actually the Traveler.
Seno was deliberately left in Aru Village, specifically to leak this information to the other side.
If we don't let the enemy misjudge our strength, how can we lure out these 'rats'?
[Dishia continued to play along: "Based on my impression of Deliwa, he certainly wouldn't miss such a big event."]
