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

Nasita knew without a doubt who it was: "Sino and Elheisen? What do you plan to have them do?"

"Sino, it's very simple."

"All he needs to do is take all the disciplinary officers on duty at the Order of the Church out."

"It's easy to find a reason. Just say that a major case of smuggling canned knowledge has occurred in the desert. Anyway, there are plenty of these things in the desert. You can easily catch a lot of them."

As for Elhesen...

Rhodes hadn't finished speaking.

Nasita interrupted him, saying, "Elhesen is here."

"Ok?"

"He's coming to the village; he'll be there in about ten minutes."

"Tsk tsk, what a coincidence, I'll go find him then."

Upon hearing this news, Rod got up and walked towards the village entrance.

ten minutes.

Exactly on time, just as Nasita had predicted, Elhesen appeared at the entrance of Aru Village.

"You knew I was coming?"

Upon meeting again, Elhesen's attention was entirely focused on Rhodes's unexpected appearance.

This guy was specifically waiting for me here; it wasn't just a coincidence.

“I have said that I have had contact with the Grass Goddess and possess a portion of her power.”

Rod pointed to his chest and laughed, "So, any news?"

"The news is very bad for you."

Elhesen pointed to a secluded spot nearby and said to Rhodes as they walked, "The news that you are the Crimson King's messenger has greatly concerned the Great Sage. In his newly issued instructions, he brought up this matter again."

talking.

Elhesen stopped and said seriously, "He gave me a task, to investigate everything about you."

"puff--"

"Ha ha ha ha--"

This unexpected good news made Rhodes burst out laughing: "It's you, not Seno?"

"Perhaps it's because the Grand Disciplinary Officer is your senior brother, and the Great Sage is worried that he might show favoritism and let you off the hook."

Elhesen's expression remained unchanged, still calm.

"so what?"

"What are you going to do?"

At this point, Rod became a little curious.

Even if they are wary of Sino.

Surely they don't need to assign a purely civilian official to investigate me? Does this huge Religious Council have no one else available?

“I hit people hard, and everyone in the Order of the Doctrine knows that.”

Elhesen answered Rhodes' question first, and then said, "I will reply to him that I have doubts about whether you are the Red King's messenger and cannot confirm it."

"No, this has been confirmed."

Rhodes shook his finger and continued, "You've come at the right time. I was just about to talk to you about this."

"Ok?"

Elhesen frowned slightly, immediately understanding what Rhodes was about to do: "You want to meet with the Great Sage alone?"

"Correct."

Rhodes nodded and said, "Do you have a way to change the instructions on the Void Terminal? Setare said that the canned knowledge that the Great Sage issued the instructions is on his desk. Theoretically, if you send your investigation report on me to the Council of the Order, you should have a chance to access that canned knowledge."

This was the method that Elhesen used to transfer all the guards of the Order of the Church, a plot that Rhodes was familiar with, and it was also the thing he originally intended to ask Elhesen to do.

However, Elhesen refused the offer.

"I'm sorry, the Order of the Church hasn't issued any new directives recently. Even if I had the opportunity to tamper with its directives, I wouldn't have the opportunity to change them."

Elhesen shook his head, rejecting Rhodes' idea.

This is a bit troublesome.

Rhodes stroked his chin, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "What if I artificially create an opportunity where the Council of Religious Affairs is forced to issue an order?"

"Manufactured by human intervention?"

Elhesen pondered for a moment, then said, "That's possible. What are you planning to do? Getting the Council to issue a new command through the Void Terminal is no easy task."

"hey-hey--"

"The Order of the Fathers will definitely do that."

"All you need to do is time it right and send me to the Great Sage."

Rod chuckled and revealed his plan.

El-Hysen listened very attentively.

Judging from his repeated nodding, he was in favor of the plan.

His only question was: "How do you plan to convince the Great Sage that you are the true messenger of the Crimson King? This is no easy task."

"It's very simple."

"What if it were like this?"

Rhodes reached out his hand, and with a slight movement, the elemental forces of ice, fire, and grass formed a ring in his palm and began to float.

"You can manipulate three elemental forces?"

"This is indeed something that can be used as evidence."

After a brief moment of surprise, Al-Hysen quickly accepted the situation and agreed with the explanation.

There are still about two weeks left.

After the discussion, Rhodes withdrew his elemental power and said to Elhesen, "In the meantime, I need to do some things that will make this identity more widely accepted. Come with me and be a witness."

What are you going to do?

“There are too many dead zones in the rainforest, and I’m going to help lighten the burden on the rangers.”

"Dead Zone?"

"You'll understand when you get there. You must write this down truthfully in your report and send it to the Great Sage. I also have a recording machine here; would you like to use it?"

"No need. When do we leave?"

"Tomorrow, I need to ask my senior for leave. I've only been learning from her for a few days and I have to go on a long trip. She'll be angry if I don't tell her."

"Okay, I'll wait for you in the village."

Chapter 144 The Divine Magic of the Priest Lineage

Two days later.

In the rainforest, Rhodes found the first dead zone.

This is a very rare large-scale dead zone.

This was the first time Elhesen had witnessed Rhodes clearing things away with brute force, and that even without using elemental power for protection, he could easily wipe out the dead zone that everyone feared.

Even if invaded by the power of the Dead Zone, it can be completely ignored and it can easily recover on its own.

"Is this the power of the Crimson King?"

Elhesen was unaware of forbidden knowledge, nor did he know that the Crimson King civilization was destroyed because of forbidden knowledge.

In fact.

The Order of the Church has been keeping these things a secret.

They deliberately concealed the relationship between the Great Tree King and the Red King.

Under such misleading information.

Nowadays, there are practically no people in the Order House who know anything about forbidden knowledge, just like they don't know that the Little Lucky Grass King really exists, but is merely imprisoned.

In response to Elhesen's question, Rhodes, who had completely digested the power of the large dead zone, neither admitted nor denied it, but merely smiled slightly and said, "You can consider this special power as the power of the Red King and write it in your report."

Hear the words.

Elhesen shook his head: "Being able to manipulate three elemental forces and ignore the erosion of the dead zone's power, the Great Sage has no choice but to believe it this time."

After saying that, he recorded all of Rhodes's unique characteristics, and then stopped traveling with Rhodes, turning back towards Aru Village.

That alone is not enough.

He still needs to continue investigating and collecting evidence to enrich his investigation report, making it so that even a great sage would not doubt its authenticity.

For the rest of the time.

Alone, Rhodes continued to grind for upgrades in the Dead Zone.

Dead zones in the rainforest are relatively easy to find.

Once this disaster, which causes headaches for all the forest rangers, takes shape, it emits a distorted black mist that contrasts sharply with the surrounding mountains and forests.

Therefore, whenever Rhode arrives at a new place, he only needs to find a high vantage point and observe with the naked eye to find out if there is a dead zone around him.

We visited the temple of priests.

Rhodes has shown a significant improvement in his ability to withstand the Dead Zone.

Especially when he used the Crimson King's Holy Ritual, he could devour an entire large dead zone in one go without even needing to go out to rest.
