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

Candice shook her head: "You could have come to me for help. You've helped the village so much, so it's only right that the village help you when you're in trouble."

"I did think about that at first."

"But I thought the village was too busy right now, so I didn't contact you."

Rod chuckled and said, "Besides, I have something that can save my life. With this, I can at least protect myself."

He was referring to Naxida.

With the Void Terminal, Narcida's divine power could be transmitted from Sumeru City. However, due to the great distance and poor signal, the duration was very limited, but at least it gave Rhodes an hour of invincibility to kill enemies or escape.

However, judging from Candice's expression, she seemed to have misunderstood.

"Do you mean the badge I gave you?"

"Although it's a bit embarrassing to say, I still have to remind you that the emblem of Aru Village is not a panacea. The tribes in the desert have different beliefs from us, and sometimes they may not give in just because of the emblem."

Kanti made no secret of the fact that Aru Village did not pose much of a threat deep in the desert.

This is the truth.

The name "desert paradise" is quite prestigious.

However, this reputation is limited to the area of ​​the Great Red Sand Sea. Further away, it is the domain of desert tribes, whose people, like the Tanit tribe, are communities that worship the Flower Goddess.

Different beliefs.

Given that these desert tribes are quite powerful and Aru Village is far away, this emblem naturally has little deterrent effect on them.

Such frankness.

Rod smiled but didn't explain.

It's best not to let anyone else know about Nasita's ability to communicate with and use the power of the gods until she is freed.

Next.

This refers to the matter of the Kanti people taking in these Tanit survivors.

Honestly, it's very troublesome.

Rhodes left behind a thousand men.

Among these people were those who were still able-bodied, the elderly, the infirm, and the disabled, as well as those who were extremely resistant to going to Aru Village.

If it weren't for the help of the young eagles, it would have been really difficult for these people from Aru Village to successfully bring so many people back to Aru Village.

Rhodes gave Candice a list.

It clearly states who can be trusted, who needs to be observed, who is destined to be a laborer for life, and which children need to be cared for as orphans by the village.

Besides.

Rhodes had a special request for these young eagles: "Don't let them fight anymore. Let them study. Haven't the village already recruited two teachers? Adebay can also help. There aren't many people, so let them enjoy what they've never had before. Just make sure you keep an eye on them. Falcon training isn't like normal human training. With their personalities, they might cause trouble when they're with the villagers."

"I can do this even without you telling me."

Candice glanced at the young eagles, their faces as cold as ice, clutching their weapons and directing the Tannet survivors, and sighed softly, "They're still just children."

"Yes, they're all children."

After sighing again, Rod said, "I'll leave this to you. I still need to help my teacher with some things, so I'll be going now."

"Be careful on your journey. The sandstorm has just passed, and the monsters are very active."

Knowing that it would take some time before the migration was complete, Candice did not try to stop him, but only gave him a few words of advice.

"Well, I see."

"No need to see me off. See you in Aru Village when I'm done with my work."

Rhodes waved his hand, and then, just as he had come, plunged headlong into the boundless desert.

The journey home still followed the same old route.

There wasn't much to see along the way except for sand.

Without pausing, Rhodes sped off at an even faster pace than when he arrived, heading towards Sumeru City.

The plan on Nafis's side has been underway for more than half a month.

According to his planned schedule.

Hafsey has now been promoted to a position second only to the Sage.

This was the risk that Nafis mentioned when he made the plan.

Given Hafsey's personality, if we wanted him to risk offending the two sages by taking action against Rhodes, it would only be possible if Rhodes' research data was sufficient to secure his position as a sage of the bio-theory school.

To achieve this, two conditions are required.

First, Hafsey must be just one step away from becoming a sage; second, the research materials in Rhodes's possession must be truly astonishing.

The first one is now complete.

As for the second point...

Rhodes prepared Adbayi's original research data, and expanded it with the genetics knowledge he learned in his previous life.

Although it's just some knowledge I learned in high school.

However, in the Institute of the Church, which has no research in genetics, this is definitely a stepping stone to becoming a sage.

"Greed knows no bounds."

"Tsk, tsk."

Thinking of this, Rod smacked his lips and chuckled.

He's there.

Hafsa can forget about repeating what he did to Adebay this time.

at this time.

A beam of light suddenly flashed in the distance.

The light was very familiar to Rhodes, and he couldn't help but stop and look over.

"Eye of God?"

This was the same light I saw when I first obtained the Eye of God.

Rod was quite certain.

This light is definitely not from someone activating the Eye of God to use elemental power, but rather from someone who has obtained the Eye of God and, like him, has caused some strange phenomena.

Driven by curiosity.

Rhodes accelerated, heading towards the spot where the Eye of God was shining.

When he arrived at the place.

See.

It was a blue-haired girl who had fainted on the ground, and the wind elemental eye that had attracted him was shining brightly beside her.

Strangely enough.

After Rhodes arrived, the Eye of God stopped shining, as if the light had only been there to attract him.

"."

The woman's face looked familiar; Rhodes recognized her at a glance.

The Church, a scholar of the Epistemological School, Fiona.

Uh, senior.

I never expected to find this legendary figure from a hundred years ago here.

Chapter 120 The Only Gift Left by a Century of Time

When Farusan woke up again, she was lying on a soft mattress.

What comes into view are neatly painted white walls, simple wooden tables and chairs, and a girl with green hair.

As she was writing, Cole seemed to sense her gaze, looked up, and met the eyes of Farusan, whose eyes were still filled with confusion.

Cole blinked, immediately dropped his pen and paper, and rushed out, shouting as he ran, "Rhodes, he's awake!!!"

Upon hearing the news, Rod quickly came in, carrying a bowl of white porridge.

"Senior, you're awake."

As he spoke, Rod handed over the bowl of white porridge he was holding.

Farusan fainted from hunger.

In this state, it's best to eat some liquid food first to avoid upsetting your stomach and intestines.

"This, this, cough cough, where is this? It doesn't seem like a ruin? Could it be another illusionary trap?"

Taking the bowl of porridge, Farusan was still in a daze. Having not spoken to anyone for a century, when she opened her mouth again, her voice was still the same, but she spoke with great difficulty, as if she had forgotten how to speak.

"This is Aru Village."

“You collapsed in the desert back then, and I happened to be passing by after finishing my business, so I brought you here.”

Rod recounted how he found Farusan.

In fact, there is not much to say.

He saw the light of the Eye of God, went to check on the situation, and happened to find Farusan lying unconscious on the ground. He then took her to Aru Village.

"Aru Village?"

"Aren't we inside ruins now?"

"Did I really escape?"

"The Eye of God? You just said, the Eye of God?"
