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

Chapter 207 The Lost and Found Elemental Power

A busy day passed quickly.

Rod didn't know what he was busy with. He was only free for a short while after dinner, and then he kept running around looking for this or that.

The amount of information received was also overwhelming and mind-boggling.

Fortunately.

Most things don't require him to handle them himself; helping with the overall planning is enough.

to today.

The moment that truly required Rhodes's intervention arrived.

Early in the morning.

Rhodes then rushed to the Pure Good Palace.

Nasita had been waiting for a long time.

Rod had told her yesterday that the Great Tree King would be reshaping his body today.

In this regard.

Narcida was far more excited than Rhodes; judging from her appearance, she probably hadn't slept all night.

However, this matter remains a secret in Sumeru.

Besides Rhodes and Nasita, only Apep and the lady from Winter knew about it.

Oh no.

There is one more person who knows.

Hey friend, good morning!

Upon seeing Rhodes approach, Wendy suddenly appeared from behind Narcida, waving and greeting him. It was unclear how Narcida, with her height, managed to completely block out Wendy, who was significantly taller than her.

Good morning, Lord Wind God.

Rhodes bowed solemnly, emphasizing the words "Lord Wind God".

"Hey~~~"

"You're being too polite~~~"

Wendy scratched his head, dodged Rhodes's bow, and then chuckled, "Today is a big day! As the best bard in Teyvat, I'm going to write a hymn for you all."

Just a heads up.

"A guest is coming today, so you'd better be careful. That guest isn't exactly friendly to a deity like you."

Rod kindly reminded Wendy of something.

Appepp will definitely come today.

She was fairly familiar with Nasita and Rhodes, though they only exchanged harsh words.

To Wendy, this unfamiliar deity.

Rod couldn't be sure what Appepp's attitude towards him was.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, Wendy tilted her head and asked, "Are you referring to Ms. Ah Appep? Or Miss Rosa?"

"."

Rod's mouth gaped slightly, then he asked in surprise, "You've met Appep?"

"I've seen him."

"Ms. Appepp is a very nice person and gave me a lot of suggestions for my new poem."

"Well"

Wendy pouted: "It's just that Ms. Appepp's poetry format is too old-fashioned and needs a lot of polishing to become a poem that is in line with the times."

Rhodes remained silent and turned his gaze to Nasita.

Honestly.

It was a bit unexpected.

When Rod first learned that Appepp lived in the city, he was worried that she might still have some bad intentions.

But look at it now.

Perhaps I'm overthinking it?

At this time.

Nasida also talked about Appepp, but her tone of voice seemed to convey a feeling that she didn't know what emotion to use.

“Apep, madam, she moved in when the city was first built.”

"She simply used the name Akh Apep, but the era in which she was active in Sumeru was too long ago. Even if she used the name of one of the Seven Sages of the Red King, no one would remember what that name meant."

"After entering the city."

"She signed up for the construction team and is still working there now."

To the end.

Like Rhodes, Nasita's expression was somewhat strange.

Especially Wendy's comment: "Ms. Appep is very famous in the construction team. She can do the work of twenty people. That's where I met her."

One person can do the work of twenty people.

Rhodes rubbed his temples.

What is Appepp doing? Is he experiencing life?

Even though he had some doubts, Rhodes did not intend to discuss Appepp here, nor did he intend to continue discussing any topic related to Appepp in Hope City.

The methods of this primordial dragon king have exceeded Rhodes's imagination.

He couldn't guarantee that Appepp wouldn't overhear him talking behind people's backs.

That would be awkward.

The three of them did not wait for Apep to show up at Jingshan Palace. After exchanging a few words, they went straight to the flower garden.

Apep is a man who always appears and disappears mysteriously.

If she didn't want to be discovered, at least no one in Xumi could find her.

So it's better to go directly to the Great Compassion Tree King. Anyway, Apepmin said she would definitely come, so you'll see her when you get there.

as predicted.

When Rhodes and his companions arrived at the flower garden, Apep was already sitting there, staring back and forth with the Great Tree King.

"God of Wind, it's been a long time."

Upon meeting, the Great Tree King first greeted Wendy.

After the Demon War, it was Venti's era of activity in Teyvat.

From Liyue to Winter Solstice, every country bears his footprints.

He also wrote many of his absurd deeds into poems that made people laugh, for which he was often criticized by the nuns who did not know his identity.

The active periods of the Great Compassion Tree King are basically in line with his.

In fact.

Not to mention the Great Tree King, the Red King and the Flower Goddess have also sat together with Wendy, drinking and chatting.

Among them, the Great Tree King and Wendy are the most familiar with each other.

The Grass God's power to create bizarre and fantastical dreams perfectly complements Wendy's boundless poetic creativity. Every time Wendy visits Sumeru, she experiences a burst of inspiration, producing many poems worthy of being passed down through the ages.

Unfortunately.

These poems were not popular in Sumeru, so few have survived. Instead, they are well-documented in Mondstadt texts.

"The last time we met was five hundred years ago. So many years have passed in the blink of an eye."

Wendy dropped her usual nonchalant demeanor and replied with a smile, "Congratulations on your new life."

"Humph--"

Before the Great Tree King could answer, Apep, who was facing her, snorted coldly: "The guests have all arrived, it's time."

talking.

She got up and looked around.

Even without any deliberate malice, the cold, sharp gaze made Rhodes and Narcida involuntarily take a step back, while Wendy remained unaffected, standing firmly in place.

Seeing that Nasita could not withstand his imposing presence.

Apep's dissatisfaction grew more and more obvious, but she said nothing. She simply placed her hand on the flower bud where the Great Tree King was located, and gently stroked the bud, just as Rhodes had done when he saw her before.

This time.

Rhodes saw it clearly.

As he stroked the flower buds, a faint green light trembled on Appepp's hand.

"No wonder the Great Tree King recovered so quickly."

Rhodes understood something.

He had previously wondered why the Great Tree King had recovered so well.

Based on her condition when she was first implanted, it would have taken at least three times as long to recover to her current state.

This is the result of a joint calculation by Nasita and the Void.

However, the reality is that the Great Tree King's recovery speed far exceeded expectations.

Even though she was able to communicate with people at that time, she had nothing, so Rhodes and Narcida naturally attributed it to the magic of the Oasis Source.
