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

"Is that because she has never had contact with humans?"

Nasida explained to Apep.

"Yes."

"It's because she's never had any contact with humans that she doesn't understand anything and can't do anything."

"You don't know."

"At first, she always maintained an arrogant demeanor, looking down on humans and even ignoring Amon."

“Back then, Amun’s followers criticized her quite a bit.”

"History books must all be criticizing her, right?"

The Great Tree King spoke with great enthusiasm, his expression full of amusement.

"Um"

Nasita nodded: "History books don't say much about her. As for the truth, I don't have enough authority in the World Tree to find out about things from too far back."

"Oh, that's normal."

“You have been imprisoned for too long and it will take time for you to regain control of the World Tree.”

After offering a few words of comfort to Nasita's frustration, the Great Tree King continued, "You know the people of Ammon are the kind of people with even more fanatical faith, so they are naturally very unhappy with Apep's actions."

"so what."

"Appepp prefers children."

Does Apep like children?

This is yet another interesting historical anecdote that Naxi Da didn't know.

"Can't you tell?"

"Actually, Apep wasn't that hostile to humans back then."

"It's just that because of her identity as the Grass Dragon, she has to be reserved and act like she hates humans and Amon all the time. Only those little kids don't understand any of this nonsense and just respect her like they do with other sages."

The Great Tree King shrugged: "Unfortunately, these things will not appear in the history books. Those historians will only record Akh Apep's disrespectful behavior towards the Red King, leaving her with a stigma among the Seven Sages."

Normal operation.

Nasida was no longer surprised that Apep's personality was so different from what was recorded in historical texts.

"I understand."

"Then I'll leave this place to you."

Nasita no longer hesitated and entrusted the affairs of Hope City and the task of stalling Apep to the Great Tree King.

Her face was resolute, yet tinged with a hint of reluctance.

In Sumeru.

She only truly trusts two people.

One is Rhodes, and the other is the Great Tree King.

And now.

She was about to part ways with the two people she trusted most, and had to watch them go on to do things that were extremely risky for them. It was impossible for her not to feel reluctant.

"Ouch~~"

"Look there."

Just as Nasita was still feeling sad, the laughter of the Great Tree King pulled her back to reality.

Following the direction the Great Compassion Tree King pointed.

Naxida looked over.

The location is a branch of the Order of the Church.

many people.

There were scholars from the Order of the Church, desert dwellers who participated in the city's construction, mercenaries on guard duty, an envoy from Mondstadt, and a lady from Winterbreak.

When there was nowhere left to stand, some people climbed onto rooftops and trees to watch what was happening in the church.

That's Hazard.

The former great sage of the Church.

What he was doing at that moment was to stand openly in front of the Church House, in front of countless people, to personally confess his blasphemous acts, to destroy the harmony between the desert and the rainforest, and to express that he had no face to face the forgiveness of the Grass God, nor to live on with the sin of blasphemy, and was willing to pay for his past sins with his own life.

Having said this.

He turned to face Jingshan Palace and said loudly, "Grass God, may your wisdom protect us for thousands of generations."

His words were righteous and awe-inspiring, and his confession was swift and decisive.

The only thing that caught people's attention was the resentment in his eyes and the pretentiousness of his words not reflecting his true feelings.

Followed by.

Then a clear voice descended from the sky: "Since you are willing to confess your sins, guards, send our great sage off with dignity. If there are any more blasphemers like him in the future, they will suffer the same fate."

Chapter 210 Hello, Miss Keqing, it's nice to see you again.

This time, Rhodes did not leave Sumeru alone.

Mondstadt's delegation traveled with him.

Apart from Abel and Cleo who stayed behind due to the agreement Rhodes had signed with him, everyone else set off with Rhodes after reaching a cooperation agreement with Narcida.

As for Aberdo's unauthorized and irregular agreement.

Nobody said anything about it.

Everyone knows that Abeldo dotes on Klee.

Although the agreement was signed in Abedo's name, he actually agreed to it for Klee's sake.

In addition, Mond has always adhered to liberalism.

So even though Abedo, the chief alchemist, was absent and might cause some trouble for the Knights of Favonius's alchemy workshop, Kaeya and Diluc, who were the chief and deputy envoys on this mission, didn't say anything. Before leaving, they even prepaid a large sum of Mora to the Vicarage, ostensibly as compensation for the potential damage Klee might cause.

The instructor in charge of the liaison was still somewhat puzzled by this act of giving away money for free.

It wasn't until Klee accidentally destroyed two laboratories in the Church of Christ while making bombs that they realized why Kaeya and the others had sent out so much Mora.

They were about to leave when they saw the Mondstadt delegation.

The lady, who served as the envoy for winter, was also preparing to leave.

She has completed the task assigned to her by the Winter Queen, and it is time to carry out the next task.

But before she left.

The invitation from Jingshan Palace forced her to stop.

If it were Nasita's invitation, she would definitely ignore it completely.

Upon seeing the title of the book on the invitation, "Great Tree King," she had no choice but to put aside her work and head to the Jetavana Palace to keep the appointment, no matter how eager she was to go to Liyue.

Then she was gone for several days. While Rhodes and the Mondstadt delegation boarded the ship and set off, she was still unable to leave the Palace of Pure Goodness.

He stopped the woman before he could borrow the Heart of God, preventing her from making a pact with the Rock God.

This is what Rhodes asked the Great Tree King to do.

There is one advantage to hitching a ride on the Mondstadt delegation's ship.

That is quiet.

Aside from the Knights of Favonius who were in charge of escorting the ship, the only other people on board were the members of the delegation.

Not only is it much faster than ordinary passenger ships, but it is also more comfortable.

If Lisa hadn't been constantly teasing him, Rhodes would have been much more comfortable.

"Lord Wind God has already agreed to the matter concerning the Lawrence family."

On the deck, Kaeya delivered a message to Rhodes.

"what?"

Rhodes, who was enjoying the scenery while holding a wine glass, looked around upon hearing this, but couldn't see Wendy anywhere. He then said, "You went to ask him? Didn't you say you wouldn't disturb him and would go back to ask the Grand Master?"

He came to us on his own.

Diluc also came over carrying a bottle of dandelion wine that was still frosty, saying as he walked, "He drank too much and is resting now."

"Oh, that's how it is."

It was a bit faster than expected, and Rhodes nodded.

The Lawrence family is actually a big problem.

It's everywhere you go.

A bunch of arrogant, pedantic fools.

Rhodes did not have a good impression of the Lawrence family.

It's a stereotype, I suppose.

Their family environment and their educational philosophy for their offspring were problematic.

What era are we living in? They're still clinging to those ridiculous aristocratic rules and dreaming of launching a counterattack on Mondstadt to reclaim their power.

To put it bluntly.

We're almost unable to afford to eat at home!

Why keep bringing up those useless things?

If Yura hadn't run fast enough, who knows how badly she would have been dragged down.

Bring them to Mount Sumeru.
