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

This identity inherently meant that Gülesh was well-suited to handling certain matters.

Both belong to the school of thought on life.

If Rhodes lost the competition with Hafsey, in order to ensure his safety and status in the Council of the Church, the only thing Nafis could think of was to help Rhodes polish a few papers that were enough to challenge Habantha.

But what if Rhodes had left the biophilosophical school after this incident and instead devoted himself to studying the primacy school?

So even without the paper Nafis gave him, under Gülech's protection, no matter how arrogant Hafsey was, he would have to obediently pull his hand back.

This is a very simple operation.

Moreover, all that is needed is for Rhodes to become a Tasata.

It's also a way to poach students.

Thinking of Rhodes's mastery of elemental power and the talent he had shown in manipulating elemental power during this period, Jules couldn't help but smile and said, "You must need to use various alchemical potions for your new project in the Biotheology School, right? Although our Elementology School's alchemical potions are not as good as your Biotheology School's in terms of healing and saving lives, we still have some good formulas for farming and animal husbandry. Come and study them when you have time."

Alchemical potions.

This is a widely used potion with a high production capacity on the continent of Teyvat.

When Rhodes was with the Sulun School, he did indeed research combining the two schools and tried to see if he could use alchemy to synthesize new fertilizers or nutrients.

However, he was busy going to the Tanit tribe at the time, so his research was interrupted halfway through.

That's what I mean.

"Indeed."

Rod stroked his chin and said.

"It's not just possible, it's mandatory!"

Gülesh's expression was very serious: "You must develop several completely new alchemical potions, and their effects must be unprecedented in the Church. Do you understand?"

"what?"

Rod's mouth was slightly open.

This requirement is rather difficult.

If developing a new type of potion were as simple as Gülesh's work, which could be accomplished with just a few words, why would the Council of Churches list new alchemical potions as a separate item in the academic assessment criteria for the Solonians?

"Teacher, you're asking too much of me."

Rhodes smiled bitterly.

Although he knew that Gülesh was doing this for his own good, hoping that he could take advantage of this time to use the new alchemical potions to try to obtain the formal Tosado degree.

But this thing isn't something you can just make whenever you want.

Unless someone provides the exact direction and approach

"These are some discarded cases from my previous research on alchemical potions. Take a look; they might be of some use."

Gülesh slammed a stack of crumpled papers onto the table.

A rejected case?

The corners of Rhodes' mouth twitched.

If these were truly obsolete research papers, he would have eaten them on the spot!

No need to think about it.

Rhodes knew that this thing was most likely some experimental evidence that was close to being on the right track or on the right path, but had not yet yielded a final result.

By definition, it's fair to say they are scrapped proposals.

Then I looked at Seno, whose eyes seemed to be wandering off somewhere.

Rhodes finally understood why this guy hadn't uttered a single lame joke or said a word all day.

After all that, it turns out he came here to be a witness.

It is evident that Gülesh did not help Rhodes cheat, enabling him to pursue a formal Dossado degree in less than a year after enrollment.

"This ability to exploit loopholes."

Following Nafis's attempt to insert some of his own research findings into Rhodes's paper under the guise of revising it, Gülech pulled off another stunt by scrapping the paper, demonstrating to Rhodes what it means to exploit loopholes like a sage.

"thank you teacher."

Now that things have come to this point, it wouldn't be right to refuse.

Moreover, Rhodes really needs these 'scrapped cases' right now.

"Okay, don't forget to register at the college tomorrow."

As he spoke, Gülesh poked Rhodes' forehead hard with a look of dissatisfaction: "You came back and didn't even bother to report to your teacher. I had to come to you personally. How rude of you."

After giving Rhodes a stern lecture, he left with a helpless Seno.

Chapter 126 Strategies for Cultivating Undercover Agents

Rhodes resolved the matter concerning the biophilosophers in the shortest possible time.

The two papers submitted by Nafis were reviewed smoothly. They were Rhodes's forte: slime taming and elemental biological fertile soil experiments. In addition, there were practical results achieved in Aru Village. Therefore, Rhodes successfully obtained his apprentice Tusata degree without much trouble.

This is also the fastest record in the history of the College of Education for obtaining the novice tasadaka degree.

Given his perfect scores in both entrance exams and his reputation as a disciple of Nafis, the matter only caused a minor stir in the Faith Academy before calming down.

As for the earlier rumors that he used knowledge about canning to achieve such good results, they were mostly false.

Nobody mentions it anymore.

And the support behind this matter.

One is that Rhodes' two teachers are indeed extraordinary. Even though they did not actively refute the rumors, as long as they are still sages of the Order of the Church, no matter what their intentions are towards this person, seeing that the public opinion is not fermenting, they dare not continue to add fuel to the fire of their anger on this matter.

The second one is Setare, the Great Sage's assistant.

No one knew why someone of her status would stand up for Rhodes, a freshman who was suspected of cheating.

Those familiar with Setare were even more astonished.

Setare is someone who values ​​her reputation highly.

Therefore, even though she and Rhodes were both desert people, Rhodes's reputation for suspected cheating was enough for her to keep her at a distance.

But that's exactly what she did, and she even gave a stern warning to several students who were spreading the rumors the most.

This is even more surprising.

Surprised as I was.

Because of her status as the Great Sage's assistant, everyone was still willing to give her face.

This two-pronged approach.

This explains why, now that news has spread that Rhodes has successfully obtained his apprenticeship Tosadeva degree and is beginning to apply for a full Tosadeva degree, the voices of jealousy, resentment, or disgust towards him have not stirred up the same waves as during the entrance exams.

then.

As a beneficiary of this event.

After learning that Setare had spoken up for him, Rhodes took the initiative to extend an invitation to her.

"You want to invite me to Aru Village?"

When Rhodes took the initiative to propose this, Setare's first reaction was to instinctively refuse.

She hasn't been back to the desert for far too long.

The deliberate avoidance I used to do is now ingrained in my very being.

However, upon further reflection...

She then understood why Rod had extended the invitation.

The Red King's grace.

Ever since Rhodes told her about it that day, Setare has never been able to forget it.

She couldn't tell whether it was longing or fear.

Thankfully, Setare no longer dreams.

if not.

I bet she dreams about this all the time.

'If I were to repay the desert as he did, would the Red King bestow blessings upon me?'

Setare had asked herself this question more than once.

But every time she came up with the same answer, it was always pretty much the same.

He has committed too many mistakes. It's already a favor that the Red King doesn't punish him. How could he possibly grant him any favors?

With this mindset.

Setare has not had a good time lately.

The inner torment and conflict caused her to make two mistakes at work, and she was even severely scolded by the Great Sage.

"Many things in Aru Village were not yet completed before, so there was nothing to see there. That's why I didn't think of inviting you, senior, to take a look."

Didn't I go out for a few days ago?

"When I came back, I went back to the village to take a look. Many facilities have been completed. Now is the perfect time for you to go."

Rhodes smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll know why I received the Red King's blessing once you go and see for yourself. It'll also be a good reference for you, senior."

After hearing that last sentence.

Setare's heart started pounding.

The Red King's grace, the knowledge of the gods.

This is just too tempting.
