Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

Otherwise, the Little Lucky Grass King wouldn't have such a surprised expression.

As for how Jiang Ming knew about it since the Little Lucky Grass King hadn't mentioned it, he chose not to find out.

This involves privacy or confidentiality to some extent, and it's not very polite to ask further.

The authenticity of these messages can now be basically confirmed.

Gerrard's feelings at this moment were also very complicated.

Although he didn't hate Little Lucky Grass King like those extreme gilded guilds, he didn't have any good feelings towards him either, and he always harbored resentment.

It turns out that Little Lucky Grass King was also a victim.

He was even imprisoned in the Pure Goodness Palace as a tool... a tool god for a full five hundred years.

Moreover, even while imprisoned, he did his utmost to help the Sumeru people.

"If I may ask, do you know the eldest daughter of the Huma family?"

Gerald recalled the rumor that the eldest daughter of the Humai family, who suffered from the Demon Scale Disease, had mentioned receiving help from the Little Lucky Grass King in her dream.

It is said that she does indeed revere the Little Lucky Grass King, and it is precisely because she is one of the few people in Sumeru who revere the Little Lucky Grass King that her rumors have spread to a small extent.

However, everyone assumed it was her hallucination.

The people of Sumeru do not dream; this is common knowledge among them.

How could I possibly have received help in a dream?

However, it is indeed somewhat unusual that the eldest daughter of the Huma family has been able to live for so long.

Now that he has learned the true situation of the Little Lucky Grass King, he suddenly became a little uncertain.

"You mean Dina Zede? Hmm... I did help stabilize her condition. However, with my current abilities, I cannot cure Demon Scale Disease."

really.

The rumors about the Huma family match up with the experiences of the Little Auspicious Grass King.

The rumors are true.

This is not the incompetent, cruel, and heartless god they imagined.

Only the Order of the Fathers was far worse than they had imagined, to the point of being utterly insane.

Now, this completely different Little Auspicious Grass King, the Sumeru God, is asking for their help to overthrow the Sumeru Order Academy.

To help or not to help?

Gerrard was caught in a dilemma.

The main issue is that they don't have any legitimate and sufficient reason to interfere.

To put it somewhat inappropriately, if something were to happen to Sumeru City, they would be the biggest beneficiaries and should be secretly delighted.

"If that false god is truly born, the desert will likely find it difficult to resist, and the situation will become even more complicated."

Seeing Gerard's hesitation, Nasita personally explained in detail the situation Gerard was currently facing in Sumeru City, analyzing the advantages and disadvantages, as well as the various situations they would face next.

“That’s right. Before that false god is born, the only enemy of the desert is the Council of the Church. You have the legitimacy to liberate or even save the people of Sumeru City. If necessary, you can also make a request to the Sumeru God. The only problem is the Doctor, but you can rest assured about the Doctor.”

"If the Doctor, a demon god-level member of the Fools, dares to make a direct move, then we will come to support him under the name of the Volunteer Army. It will be perfectly legitimate. We haven't settled the score for the raid on Narukami Shrine yet."

Jiang Ming even seemed to have a hint of anticipation when he said this.

If the doctor doesn't take action but only collaborates on research in secret, then this is still a dispute between the desert and the Church, and can still be considered a civil war caused by historical issues left over from Sumeru.

If a PhD intervenes, that's a different matter altogether.

Since the doctor made the first move, it became perfectly legitimate for them to follow suit.

You'd better act quickly, don't back down.

"..."

Gerrard is still very conflicted.

“I understand what you’re saying, but there’s still a lack of sufficient reason right now, which could cause problems.”

Little Lucky Grass King has no say, and the Order of the Fathers will not acknowledge their actions. As long as they deny it to the death, what can they do?

Should the information be collected and made public afterward?

The people of Sumeru would not understand; on the contrary, they might think it was a forgery done to cover up their own shortcomings.

Even the real thing is turning into a fake.

Even if we rescue Little Lucky Grass King and get her to speak up, it won't make a difference.

People will follow a simple logic: if they were previously imprisoned and threatened by the Institution, then they can be imprisoned and threatened to speak out now; if they were not imprisoned, then their previous statements are true.

Often, people only believe what they want to believe.

They will then be unable to defend themselves.

From this perspective, the most appropriate approach is to wait until a disaster occurs and has a sufficiently large impact, so that everyone pays a heavy price and can no longer turn a blind eye, before taking action.

Only then will people stop caring about so many details; on the contrary, they might even haile them as saviors.

If one tries to prevent a disaster from happening before it does, then the efforts and sacrifices made to prevent it will become incomprehensible.

Jiang Ming didn't know exactly what Gerrard was thinking, but the so-called "trouble" was pretty much the same kind of thing.

If he hadn't acted so reactionarily in Inazuma that the shogunate hadn't made people suffer enough, he would have faced the same "trouble."

“I roughly understand there might be some trouble, but Gerald, don’t forget our nature. Think about what you’ve said before. Are you really going to abandon the rainforest now, and the people in the rainforest who, like you, are subjected to alternative exploitation and oppression?”

Gerald looked troubled and subconsciously scratched his head.

He certainly hadn't forgotten, but he genuinely didn't know what to do.

It has only been a few years since he rose from a somewhat educated vice-leader of a mercenary group to the head of a desert nation; there is still much for him to learn.

"We must find ways to overcome difficulties. Moreover, this is not a dead end. The Order of the Church has left us with considerable room for maneuver."

Ok?

Gerald and Nasita looked at Jiang Ming with shining eyes.

"Is there a solution?"

The two asked in unison.

"of course."

Chapter 252 It's just taking a nap, what could possibly happen?

In Xumi City.

The sun slowly rises and a new day begins.

The people of Sumeru stretched, shook their aching shoulders, yawned, and dragged their legs, which felt as heavy as lead, as they forced themselves to cheer up and swayed as they prepared to start a new day of work.

Vendors carried their goods to the Grand Bazaar, chefs exerted all their energy to ensure they wouldn't cut their hands while chopping vegetables, and waiters tried their best not to break plates or serve the wrong dishes in a moment of distraction.

The instructors and students at the Academy were equally exhausted.

During this period, due to lack of energy, the students of the Academy could no longer concentrate on their studies. Knowledge went in one ear and out the other, completely failing to enter their extremely tired brains.

If nothing unexpected happens, the number of students failing the recent final exams should be quite high.

The instructors also lost interest in conducting experiments, especially those that were somewhat dangerous. Although there were no orders from the Academy, a significant number of instructors had already voluntarily stopped them.

Of course, there are also many professors under research pressure who want to seize this opportunity to get ahead and force their students to overcome difficulties and persevere in their experiments.

As a result, although the Academy's recent experimental projects have been reduced by nearly half, experimental losses and safety incidents have surged.

During this period, the people in Sumeru City were having a hard time.

"When will this ever end?!"

In the small square in front of the Academy, several lower-grade students gathered together, thinking about the lessons they had fallen behind in and the approaching final exams. One of them couldn't help but look up at the sky and let out a long howl.

He really doesn't want to fail, but he just can't concentrate on his studies right now.

Not a single word could be etched into my brain.

He walks unsteadily now, only wants to doze off in class, and can bump into two female classmates on a 1,000-meter journey, let alone memorize his lessons.

What's most infuriating is that even though he spent all his class time dozing off, it didn't seem to lift his spirits at all.

The students around him looked at him with a hint of sympathy in their eyes.

Another crazy one.

However, these days, who among those studying at the Order Academy doesn't go crazy? But in the past, everyone just had latent symptoms.

Ever since the geomantic veins of Sumeru City started having problems, people haven't even been able to get the most basic rest, which is why this madness has become a visible symptom.

That being said, they were genuinely feeling unwell.

When will this day end?

Now, everyone in Sumi City is pinning their hopes on the Sulun Sect.

They are professionals when it comes to studying ley lines.

The scholars of the Sulun School had become the hope of the entire village of Sumi City, and their status rose steadily.

The conclusion that the abnormal terrain caused the physical exhaustion of the people in Sumeru City was given by the sages of the Sulun School, and it was also certified by the sages of other schools in the Order of the Church and the great sage Azhar. Therefore, no one doubted its correctness.

Unfortunately, the sages of the Suron school only stated that they had started research and were trying to find a solution as soon as possible. Moreover, the mental state of the Suron school members was not much better than theirs, and so far there has been no progress.

"If I had to live like this for the rest of my life, I would really go crazy."

"If that's the case, then I'll have to consider going somewhere else. Academic research is important, but my life is more important."

Several students nearby began to complain to each other.

It's only been a few days, and it's already so unbearable. If it continues like this, then it's truly impossible to stay in Sumeru City.

Right now, everyone is thinking that the problem will be solved soon and that it will pass if we just hang in there. They can't let go of the bottles and jars in Sumeru City. If the problem can't be solved, then Sumeru City will probably have to be relocated in the future.

The only ones who might be happy are the scholars of the Sulun school. Such a massive ley line anomaly, capable of affecting an entire city, is rare even in the history of Teyvat. I wonder how many papers they will produce.
