Tewat's Me Undercover in Solstice Winter

The desert area of ​​Sumeru.

Apart from the volcanic area of ​​Nata, this is almost the place with the harshest climate in the entire Teyvat.

Lin Feng and the others had only set foot on the boundaries of Aru Village before, and had not gone too deep into it.

But after they really went deep into the desert, they truly discovered how harsh the natural environment here was.

Lin Feng could tolerate this.

After all, he had been to that ghost place in the abyss back then.

Compared to not having anything to eat or drink, there was a filthy smell everywhere, and even sleeping had to bring up the abyss of elemental power to protect myself.

The lack of food and drink in the Sumeru Desert is not an unbearable thing.

But just because he could endure it, it didn't mean that Yola and Kelai could endure it too.

Yola is a person who loves cleanliness, and in the desert area, sandstorms are as common as wind and rain in the plains, and every time the sandstorm is over, even if there is no wind or waves in the shelter built by Lin Feng with rock elements, As long as you go out, you will still be covered in dust, which is very annoying.

As for Kelai.

Although she is from the desert.

But Ke Lai has been frail and sick since she was a child, and because of the magic scale disease, people in the same village were very malicious towards her, so her parents basically did not let her have too much contact with the outside world, and later she was trapped in the Vitality House. .

Therefore, I am quite uncomfortable with the complex and harsh climate of the desert.

If Yula hadn't used the water slime and ice slime she caught to relieve her fever, she might have been unable to bear it long ago.

I don’t know how the desert, which is so lacking in water elemental power and ice elemental power, gave birth to these two elemental creatures.

The problem of hot climate is relatively small.

Eating is the biggest trouble.

There are very few normal wild beasts in the desert of Xumi. Even if there are, they are vultures with no flesh on their bodies, or various scorpions and poisonous insects.

Camels like the ones from Lin Feng's hometown that live exclusively in the desert are nowhere to be seen here, and there are even very few similar Daxing creatures.

The ones active in the wild are basically all kinds of magical beasts, the ubiquitous Qiuqiu people, the mushroom beasts that are also pure elemental creatures, the sandworms hiding underground, and the troublesome beast-land hounds and holy beasts.

Even if these things cannot be used as food, they are extremely aggressive and will attack indiscriminately whenever they see someone appearing in their territory.

Of course.

These monsters, which are like death threats to the desert people, are nothing to Lin Feng and the others. Even the holy beasts, which are known as the most powerful and terrifying monsters in the desert, are nothing in front of Lin Feng and Youla. Not a combined enemy.

After walking for a few days.

Lin Feng and the others finally arrived at their destination.

Tanit Campground.

A tribe known as the most powerful tribe in the desert.

Different from other desert people tribes.

The Tanit tribe has extremely close trade with the rainforest area, and their force value is almost full.

The Holy Skeleton Beast, which is feared by other tribes and ordinary mercenary groups, is no doubt an ordinary prey in the eyes of the Tanit tribe.

This is why they are so popular among merchants in the rainforest area.

Their powerful force allows them to obtain many rare materials that cannot be found in the rainforest area. In particular, the materials on the sacred skeleton beast are worth thousands of gold.

Just by monopolizing the trade of sacred skeleton beast materials, they became an extremely rare tribe in the desert that had no worries about food and clothing.

"This is an extremely dangerous tribe, and their attitude towards trading is very wavering."

"Sometimes they will keep their promises more than the merchants in Liyue, and sometimes they will turn into bandits who kill and swindle goods. But across the way, Mr. Sangge Mahabhai, they don't dare to do such a thing. It's just the first time I meet them. You traders must be careful of their rebellion."

Dolly's advice was still echoing in Lin Feng's ears.

But Lin Feng didn't take this reminder seriously.

As soon as they arrived at the territory of the Tanit tribe, a sharp shout rang out.

"Hey, stop, this is the territory of the Tanit tribe, outsiders are not allowed to enter!"

Then, two tribesmen dressed as mercenaries rushed forward with sharp blades in hand, blocking Lin Feng's way.

Lin Feng looked at these two people.

Dolly had given him a detailed introduction to the Tanit tribe.

This tribe not only hunts everywhere to exchange resources like the nomads, but also has close cooperative relations with many mercenary groups.

People in the tribe often join other mercenary groups as mercenaries.

This experience is the reason why the Tanit tribe is powerful in force and has few enemies in the desert.

"I'm talking to you, are you deaf?"

Seeing Lin Fengguang looking at him and not replying, the older guard seemed a little impatient.

Such rude and rude words did not anger Lin Feng. Instead, he smiled and said: "I am the messenger of Master Sangge Mahabhai. There is a letter here for her to deliver to Babier, the mistress of the Tanit tribe."

"Sangor Mahabhai Sahib?"

The two guards looked at each other.

Being able to be sent out as guards, the two of them naturally have good vision and knowledge.

At least.

They knew the name Dolly Sange Mahabhai very well.

This is the big businessman who has the closest dealings with the tribe.

Mistress Babel had specifically warned that whenever someone mentioned this name, they should be treated as a distinguished guest of the tribe.

There is such an order first.

Naturally, the two guards did not dare to be negligent. Their arrogant expressions just now turned into condescension. They stretched out their hands respectfully and said: "It turns out that we are the distinguished guests of Lord Sange Mahabhai. Please come in quickly. Please come in quickly." Let’s go and notify the mistress right away.”

Follow the two guards.

Along the way, Lin Feng and the others truly saw the uniqueness of the Tanit tribe.

The people in this tribe are actually farming!

To know.

Desert areas are barren and desolate, and are not suitable for farming at all.

This is also the key to the rain forest area firmly grasping the desert area.

Because it is not suitable for farming, no matter how powerful the mercenary group or tribe is in the desert area, it is inevitable to accept the unequal transactions in the rainforest area, using the rare materials that they have fought for with their lives in exchange for a small amount of food, pure water and other living supplies.

At first glance, we can see that the Tanit tribe has really reclaimed wasteland. Although the output is not too high at first glance, compared to being exploited by people in the rainforest area, this is already a precious resource.

"How's it going? Have you seen the strength of our Tanit tribe?"

Seeing the surprised expressions of Lin Feng and the others, the two guards looked extremely proud.

Everyone who visits the Tanit tribe will be shocked when they see this farmland.

"Being able to farm in the desert is indeed a skill."

Lin Feng admired sincerely.

Yula and Kelai also nodded in agreement.

In response to such appreciation, the two guards proudly puffed up their chests and their steps became more powerful.

"interesting."

However, Lin Feng glanced at the cultivated fields again and muttered meaningfully.

Dolly Sango Mahabhai is a well-known name in the Tanit tribe.

Lin Feng and the others didn't wait long before they saw a woman with a hot body and an exquisite face that was completely incompatible with desert people. Just by standing there, she had the aura of a superior.

This is the very capable matron of the Tanit tribe, Babel, as Dolly calls her.

behind her.

There are also six men and women with different looks.

"Dear guest, I have kept you waiting for a long time."

Babel said a little apologetically, and then sat down on the main seat.

The other six people sat on the chairs to his left, directly opposite Lin Feng Youla and Kelai.

"Fortunately, I didn't wait too long."

"I would like to ask if the guest is here this time, but does Sange Mahabhai have any business to do?"

Unlike those uneducated desert people who are full of swear words, Babel seems to speak more like those cultural elements in the rainforest area.

when speaking.

Her eyes only paused briefly on the eyes of God on the shoulders of Ke Lai and Youla, and then she focused all her attention on Lin Feng.

She could tell who was talking at a glance.

"Master Sange Mahabhai did not send me here for business this time."

Lin Feng and Babel looked at each other, and with a smile, he took out a bag of things from his arms and threw it over: "Here, this is what Master Sange Mahabhai asked me to bring to you."

An old man sitting on the first left hand side of Babel had quick eyes and quick hands. With a movement of his body, he snatched the bag into his hands.

Lin Feng glanced at him and tutted: "It's not easy for a cripple to practice his skills to this level."

"Thank you for your compliment."

The old man didn't pay attention to Lin Feng's words and replied with a smile.

then.

He opened the bag and carefully inspected the contents.

After seeing the familiar white crystal, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he couldn't wait to reach out and dip his fingers into his mouth, put it in his mouth and licked it.

After tasting the salty taste that he had imagined, the old man suddenly shouted in surprise: "Salt! It's salt! Mistress, it's salt!"

Hear the word salt.

Babel's confident expression suddenly changed.

Salt is a contraband that is strictly prohibited from being transported to the desert area from the rainforest area.

There is simply no way to get it from other places except through the channels of the Holy Order.

She had mentioned this to Dolly before.

Dolly refused without even thinking, and said that no matter how much the Tanit tribe paid, she would never do something that would undermine the foundation of the Order.

But now.

Why did she suddenly agree to this?

Babel, who has always viewed people with conspiracy theories, does not believe that Dolly decided to make such a dangerous deal with her because of her conscience.

At the same time, she was also worried about one thing.

That was whether Dolly would offer a price that would drain the Tanit tribe dry.

Just when her thoughts were restless, she heard Lin Feng quietly say: "Mother Babel, don't think too complicatedly, Master Sangge Mahabhai gave a batch of salt to your Tanit tribe for free. .”

"!!!???"

"what!?"

"impossible!!!"

“Guest, don’t talk nonsense about this!!!”

The reactions of several people from the Tanit tribe were surprisingly unanimous, and everyone could not believe the authenticity of this incident.

This is a transaction of salt.

Even if Sange Mahabhai proposes a deal that is unacceptable to the Tanit tribe, they think it is normal.

But they firmly don't believe in the four words "free gift".

There is no free lunch in the world.

This ancient proverb from Liyue can be said to be a perfect fit in the desert area.

In the desert of Sumeru.

You can trust a person who asks you for a huge reward, but you can never trust a person who radiates kindness to you for no reason.

This is an unwritten rule of thumb.

"Oh, salt is free."

"It's just that what you are asked to do is more troublesome."

Lin Feng has met all kinds of people, so he naturally understands what the people of the Tanit tribe think.

He said so.

The people of the Tanit tribe breathed a sigh of relief.

Just ask for it.

Babel smiled confidently and said: "Guest, tell me, no matter what it is, as long as our Tanit tribe can do it."

"In the next three years, every business group from the Order Council will be killed every time they meet, and no one will be allowed to escape back to the rainforest area."

"."

Upon hearing this request, Babel's smile froze.

The entire tent fell into a deadly silence.

The seven members of the Tanit tribe all had twitching faces and looked at Lin Feng in shock.

What is Dolly Sange Mahabhai doing?

Monopolize the entire desert area's transactions?

But if you do.

Once it is discovered that the murderer is the Tanit tribe, with the power of the Order, the Tanit tribe will have no choice but to die, and there will be no other way but to exterminate the tribe.

But Dolly Sange Mahabhai was not someone she could offend.

After careful consideration, Babel, the mistress of the Tanit tribe, said: "Guest, please forgive us for not being able to agree to this matter, even if you are willing to provide us with salt as payment."

"No, no, no." Lin Feng shook his finger: "The salt is not a reward, it is a personal gift from me."

In Babel's doubtful eyes, he continued: "With the reputation of Master Sange Mahabhai as a guarantee, I am willing to provide the daily salt needed by the Tanit tribe free of charge."

As he spoke, Lin Feng held out two fingers: "Twenty years."

"Twenty years?"

Babel was stunned.

The other elders of the Tanit tribe were also stunned.

They thought that what Dolly provided would be enough salt for the entire tribe to live frugally for a period of time.

I didn’t expect that this would actually be measured in years.

Twenty years of salt.

Enough salt to last twenty years.

The Mora saved from here alone is enough to allow the Tanit tribe to reach a higher level in a short period of time, and even give them the ability to truly unify the tribes in the entire desert area.

However, Lin Feng always insisted that this thing was a gift from her and had no relationship with Dolly.

This seems like a strange move.

The meaning is also very simple.

Dolly had nothing to do with intercepting and killing the merchants of the Order. It was all done voluntarily by the people of the Tanit tribe.

This made several leaders of the Tanit tribe have to hesitate.

"Dear guest."

The title in Babel's mouth changed back to before: "This matter is important, please give us three days. During this period, we will meet all your needs in the Tanit tribe."

"Okay, yes."

Lin Feng didn't expect Babel to agree to such a big deal right away.

Before leaving the tent, he stopped again, turned back to Babel with a smile and said: "As a top-up to this deal, I wonder if Mother Babel is interested in the formula of Bountiful Bounty. ?”
