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

She didn't come with us this time, but stayed with Gülečki, ostensibly to visit her teacher and have some academic exchange.

Although they knew she was slacking off, Diluc and the others said nothing and set off as planned.

The only problem is the lack of such a knowledgeable and insightful advisor.

Diluc and Kaeya didn't recognize these runes they'd never seen before, but the lady, who had once been a top student at the Order of the Calibur, noticed the differences in the runes.

"Yes."

There was nothing wrong with admitting it, and Rhodes nodded directly, saying, "The latest research results of the Wonderful Theory School can use specific mechanical towers and transmission lines to deliver elemental power to ordinary people's homes, allowing every household to get rid of the life of only being able to use fire and candles."

talking.

Rhodes pointed to a peculiar building not far away.

This is the latest research result of Farusan, which is an energy obelisk replicated using the mechanism of Aru Village.

Diluc and Kaeya exchanged bewildered glances upon seeing this.

Both of them had the same thought in their minds at that moment.

The technology of Sumeru.

It seems to be much higher than they imagined.

Next.

As they walked and stopped, Rod introduced them to many unique buildings or new structures that they had never seen before.

The public toilets, in particular, shocked them the most.

To protect the city's sanitation, the sage of the Wise Theory personally designed an extremely complex drainage system for Hope City.

Although designing a drainage system in the desert seems ridiculous.

However, when the plan was released, no one raised any objections, and the contractor, Kavi, meticulously built the massive drainage system according to the design drawings.

that's it.

It wasn't until two hours later that Rhodes and his companions arrived at the gates of the Pure Land Palace where Nasita was.

However, Rhodes did not go in; instead, he sent the lady and Diluc Kaeya to find Narcida.

He first sent Tinari to rest in the shade, while he picked up Azar and led him straight to the garden of the Great Tree King.

"It's time to go see the Great Tree King."

These were the words Rhodes gave to Hazard, words that sent a shiver down Hazard's spine and completely cleared his eyes.

209. Chapter 199 Hazard's Last Request

Chapter 199 Hazard's Last Request

Nourished by the source of the oasis, the Great Compassion Tree King is getting better and better lately.

During the few days that Rhodes returned to Sumeru City.

She is close to blooming.

Of course.

In the eyes of ordinary people, she is still just a Patisha orchid ready to bloom at any time.

The difference from before.

It means that when she is conscious, she can make ordinary people hear her voice.

This is what Nasita told Rhodes after they had a divine conversation.

She also confirmed it.

Nourished by the source of the oasis, the Great Tree King should be able to truly revive soon.

Rhodes brought Hazard over because he received this news.

Hazard's life is of no value.

died.

It's more valuable to die in public.

As a deity, Naxida's authority in Mount Sumeru is far too low.

Not to mention the desert's attitude towards her, which is distant and sometimes even resistant, the rainforest's attitude towards her as a god is at most respectful. Compared to the attitude of people in other countries towards their gods, she is not even comparable to the silent Mondstadt.

All of this stems from the phrase 'imprisoned by mortals'.

Don't underestimate the impact of this incident.

A god was imprisoned by mortals.

Even during the chaotic period of the Demon God Wars, this was an explosive event. The only thing that Rhode could think of that could be compared to this was the assassination of the Salt Demon by his own followers.

Not to mention that this is a time of peace, when the Seven Rulers of the Mortal Realm are at the height of their power on the continent of Teyvat.

The impact of this event.

It was after the brief excitement of the gods' return had subsided.

The attitude of the Sumeru people towards Naxida has clearly cooled down considerably.

It's not a good thing if you don't have your own gods.

It's not a good thing if one's own deity is too weak.

"Gods should be omnipotent."

This was a common idea among the Teyvats.

The Sumeru people naturally shared the same idea.

But it's a pity.

Nasita, who could be imprisoned by mortals, seems to have nothing to do with this statement.

Aside from the issue of insufficient respect for Naxida within the Xumi Kingdom.

The weakness of divine authority was also reflected in diplomacy.

A very straightforward example.

The lady had clearly come to obtain the heart of the god, yet she dared to speak recklessly in front of Rhodes, who had a clear relationship with the god of grass, without caring at all whether her words would reach the ears of the god of grass and thus affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Such domineering behavior.

They clearly didn't take Naxida, the goddess, seriously.

"I despise all that is tall and imposing."

"I deal with those who are too tall rationally."

This was another assessment Rod had made of the woman previously.

I'll beat the Zephyr of Mondstadt with my fists and feet; I'll command the Rathalos; and I'll interfere in your country's internal affairs.

Even though her attitude towards the Rock God, who was at the height of his divine power and was known as the God of War, was not respectful enough, she was still able to remain rational and dared not overstep her bounds in her words.

This is the difference between a weak divine authority and a strong divine authority.

Therefore, this traitor, Azhar, must become the stepping stone for Nasida to rebuild the divine authority.

That's because of Nasita's personality.

She certainly wouldn't be willing to use killing Hazard as a way to establish her authority.

That's why Rod thought of bringing him to see the Great Tree King, to shatter his beliefs at their root.

Hazard is a very proud and arrogant person.

Although Rhodes didn't have much contact with him, he could discern a part of his personality from their encounter at the Order of the Church.

It was through that negotiation that things were resolved.

Rhodes clearly saw his weakness.

That is, once you puncture what Hazard is so proud of, he will completely descend into hysterical madness.

For example, when Rod said he would take him to see the Great Tree King in Sumeru City.

The entire plan of the Church Council over the past five hundred years was completely negated because of this statement.

Realizing that he and his ancestors had not only been doing futile work but had also committed the grave sin of blasphemy, he immediately went insane.

Only when Rod said he would take him to see the Great Tree King did his eyes regain their clarity, no longer looking like a mental patient having an episode.

However, Hazard was not as resistant to the upcoming meeting with the Great Tree King as Rhodes had imagined.

This was quite unexpected for Rhodes.

He had initially thought Hazard would at least put up a fight.

As it turned out, the old man, despite having regained his senses, did not offer the slightest resistance. Fortunately, there were no bystanders near the Pure Goodness Palace; otherwise, seeing Rhodes treat the former Great Sage so roughly would have attracted countless strange glances.

The distance between the flower garden and Jingshan Palace is not far.

It didn't take long.

Rhodes and Azhar then came before the Great Tree King.

Where is the Great Compassion Tree King?

Hazard couldn't see the Great Tree King inside the flower bud. In his eyes, he had been brought to a small garden by Rhodes. The only special thing was the purple Patisha Orchid.

"Oh? You're willing to talk now?"

Rhodes raised an eyebrow and looked at Hazard, who had his hands behind his back and looked completely different from his previous dejected state.

This old guy was acting like he was about to die.

As soon as he arrived at the Great Tree King, he reverted to his calm and serene demeanor as a great sage.

"Isn't it just that you want to sacrifice my life to restore the Little Lucky Grass King's prestige?"

Hazard smiled calmly: "What difference would it make if I gave it to you?"
