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

"If you become Hazard's accomplice, you have to be mentally prepared for this."

"You think it's cruel to do this to her."

"Have you ever considered that she, a scholar from the desert, would help the Church ruthlessly oppress her own homeland? Wouldn't that be considered cruel to the people of the desert?"

"You've seen the situation in Aru Village."

"You've heard what Grandma Lishti said before."

"Twenty years ago, Aru Village, which was known as a desert paradise, did not even have the life we ​​have now. In such a large village, few people were literate, and they did not know how to protect themselves from sandstorms. If they got sick, they could only wait to die on the spot. Can you believe that this is a life that humans can live?"

"Not to mention the tribes deep in the desert that don't even have enough to eat."

"Do you remember when I told you about those tribesmen who dug up corpses in the sand and ate them raw?"

“Indeed, the current situation in the desert is not caused by Setare alone, but do you think that by acting as an accomplice to the Church, the situation in the desert will only get worse day by day?”

Rhodes's words were very impolite.

A long time ago.

That's what he wanted to say.

Nasita was a very gentle and kind deity.

Her love for humanity was so great that she was willing to sacrifice herself at any time.

But that's not good.

not good at all.

This kind of personality made Naxida's mind too simple and kind to an excessive degree.

Based on Rod's personality.

He felt an urge to reach his enemies, to beat up those who were unfriendly to him, even through the internet.

But what about Naxida?

When she's about to hit someone, she hesitates, wondering if she'll hit them too hard and hurt them.

Please.

They are already in a state of hostility.

Instead of considering killing the person, they were wondering if they had gone too far.

this behavior.

It's hard to evaluate Rhodes, and there's no way to evaluate him.

So he could only continue to verbally berate Nasita.

Now that he's around, most of the time, he's the one in charge of everything. Even if Narcida feels reluctant, it doesn't affect Rhodes.

If he's no longer around, who will be there to give Nasida this advice at this point?

He gave me a lecture like that.

Naxida fell silent.

the other side.

Setare, caught in a deep self-doubt, remained silent.

All of a sudden.

The only sound in the entire dormitory was Rod slurping his tea.

a long time.

Then Setare spoke in a hoarse voice, "You are a follower of the Red King, aren't you?"

"No, I am the same as you, without faith."

Rhodes glanced at her and replied indifferently.

"Oh?"

"So you don't believe in gods either?"

"But the gods have bestowed their reward upon you."

"have to say."

"This is also a kind of opportunity."

Setare sighed, her expression extremely complex.

The sages of the Church can all be called faithful followers of the Grass God, yet none of them have been able to obtain the divine knowledge that is right before their eyes.

Yet, Rhodes, a person who did not believe in God, easily received divine teachings because of his own actions.

"Yes, I've always believed in chance."

"As long as the opportunity arises, no matter how difficult things are right now, we will definitely be able to get rid of the current situation."

"Are you right?"

"Senior Setare."

Looking at Setare, who seemed to be deep in thought, Rod chuckled.

If I remember correctly.

Setare is also someone who believes in fate.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 110 Diliyasi's First Study Abroad Trip

Setare is gone.

When she left, her expression was very complicated.

Rhodes is right.

She truly believed in chance.

And now.

An incredible opportunity was laid out before her; whether she was willing to seize it was up to her.

As for whether she will tell the Great Sage about this.

Rhodes wasn't worried at all; in fact, he hoped she would tell the Great Sage about it.

By helping the desert, you have a chance to gain knowledge from the gods.

For a great sage, this temptation is too great.

Once it's confirmed that this is true, he will spare no effort to develop the desert.

This leak actually turned out to be a good thing.

But it's a pity.

Setare did not tell Hazard about this.

This inevitably disappointed Rhodes.

Despite the disappointment, the connection with Setare was eventually made.

Whether Rhodes truly obtained divine knowledge from the Red King remains to be seen.

Setare was very curious.

Therefore, in her spare time, she would often come to Rod to ask about things related to desert construction.

Rhodes answered all his questions without hesitation.

He also showed Setare a lot of video footage he had taken in Aru village.

The buildings rise from the ground, the lush date palm groves are covered with new nutrient-rich sand made from grass slime, the modern-style chicken coops and pigsties are filled with the villagers who are always beaming with happiness.

These images had a tremendous impact on Setare.

It was not only a desert that changed her impression of it, but also the knowledge that Rhodes used in building Aru Village.

All of this deeply shocked Setare, who had never returned.

At the same time, she became increasingly convinced of the truth of Rhodes's claim that he had received a blessing from the Red King.

Apart from connecting with Setare.

Rhodes' life at the Church was relatively dull.

Basically, every day is the same routine of going between three points.

In the morning, I would go to the main hall with other students for a class. After lunch and a short rest, I would go to study with Nafis or Gulesh. In the evening, I would return to my dormitory and study with Nasida.

Life seems very mechanical and boring.

But they lived a very fulfilling life.

The two sages were quite satisfied with Rhodes's knowledge.

To say that one can draw inferences from one instance is to put it in a very small way.

Often, as soon as the sages finished explaining a point of knowledge, Rhodes could immediately draw in his own ideas.

Some ideas may sound very far-fetched, but they are theoretically feasible.

Such imaginative intelligence naturally made Nafis and Gulesh exclaim that they had struck gold, and further convinced them that Rhodes' knowledge was genuine and not obtained through illegitimate means.

Then the open and covert struggle between the two over which subject Rhodes should major in will become even more intense.

In addition to not having a very heavy workload.

Taking advantage of my vacation time.

Rhodes would leave the Order of the Church and go to Huma's house for a rare get-together with Dixia.

Every time this happens...

Dina Zede would generously say that she would stay home to rest today, so that Dishia could go out and play with Rod without worry.
