Teyvat: The road to becoming a god begins in the desert

She left with her promise.

Rhodes was very satisfied with what she promised.

After a fierce ideological struggle, the great sage's assistant, who felt full of guilt towards the desert, finally agreed to Rhodes' request.

"Looks like it's going well."

Dixia, who was standing at the entrance of the village with Rhodes, also laughed at the corners of Rhodes' mouth that could not be suppressed at all.

“It went smoother than I thought.”

Rod was telling the truth.

His first thought was that if it didn't work, he would pretend to be the Red King's messenger to give her a wave of pressure from the gods, or simply let Nashida possess him.

However, both of these methods have huge hidden dangers.

Setale was a person of exceptionally strong mind, otherwise he would not have helped them suppress the desert for several years in the House of the Faith despite the condemnation of his conscience.

The key is.

She is still a non-believer.

This kind of people are the most troublesome.

Having no faith means that the identity of the Red King's messenger can only suppress her, but cannot convince her through the belief in the gods.

It would be even more unrealistic to let Nashida possess and control her.

Let’s not talk about whether Nashida is willing or not.

The Great Sage's precautions against Nashida alone meant that this trick would definitely not work. If Nashida controlled Setale to accidentally enter an area that could shield her, she would be completely doomed.

And don’t think that in the game, Nashida and the Traveler only used a few people to disguise themselves as followers of the Red King and broke down her psychological defenses in one fell swoop.

But still the same sentence.

Games are games, reality is reality.

Rod and Setale have been in contact for a long time.

It is very clear how thick the walls of this person's heart are.

If you want Setare to truly surrender to her inner guilt and fight against the Great Sage for the future of the desert, it is useless to rely solely on faith in something that is invisible and illusory.

Therefore, while completely igniting the guilt in her heart, there must also be something that can truly move her.

The Red King's gift is a good thing.

Rod made a promise.

He made the promise in his capacity as the Red King's messenger.

As long as Setare is willing to assist him in helping the desert regain fairness, the Red King will not only forgive her past sins, but also bestow his grace on her.

This promise is simple to fulfill.

Anyway, Nashida was there. When she was freed, he could give Setale anything in the name of the Red King, which would be regarded as Rhodes fulfilling the contract.

And under Nashida's mind reading.

Rhodes didn't have to worry that Setale would say one thing and mean another, and then return to the House of Religious Orders to report him.

In short.

Just one sentence.

It went smoothly, very smoothly.

A sharp thorn stuck in the side of the great sage was dealt with in this way.

Now all we have to think about is how to gain control of the void and get rid of those densely packed guards.

In the game, this plan relied on Elhaisen's strategy and manipulation, and he finally stole the control of the void from the great sage.

Rhodes also considered whether to replicate it.

But after thinking about it, I decided to give up.

Without him.

There is no key prop.

God canned knowledge.

Without that thing, it would be difficult to copy the ready-made answer, and it would be easy to get yourself into trouble.

So if you want to rescue Nashida as soon as possible, you can only honestly find a way to gain control of the void.

Setale can't be relied upon in this matter.

Although she is the assistant of the Great Sage, she is just an ordinary assistant and has no access to the core power circle of the Court of the Decree. She can only mechanically complete the work at hand according to the requirements of the Great Sage.

As for what Rhodes wanted her to do now, it was actually to get information about what the great sage was doing every day in a place where Nashida couldn't see.

With this information.

Only then can we judge the movements of the great sage in order to find his loopholes, and then seek to steal control of the void or find the key that can open the seal.

"call--"

"The first step is finally completed."

Although there were still many things to do, Rhodes was in a good mood and even held a celebration banquet in the evening.

Dina Zedai and the others, along with Kavi, who didn't understand what was going on, celebrated in a daze as well.

They also didn't know what Rhodes was celebrating.

But seeing that everyone was so happy, they couldn't ask any more questions and just celebrated along.

On the second day.

Rhodes, who had just returned for a few days, packed his bags and prepared to leave again.

This time.

It was Dishia who went with him.

Dina Zedai was safer in Aru Village with Candice's care than in Xumi City, so she could go out on adventures with Rhodes without any worries.

But this time he said he was going out on an adventure.

In fact, Rhodes wanted to find something to do during this time.

Walking through the rain forest, recalling the scene when Falusan came to see her off before leaving, Dixia smiled and said, "That senior Falusan really likes you?"

The like she said was not that kind of like, but the kind of like that comes with appreciation.

Falushan has a very simple mind.

At least it's simple now.

It was the kind of look that simply admired Rhodes.

Rhode understood what Dixia meant and replied with a smile, "She has wanted to take me in as a student for a long time. Wait until I have dealt with the matter of the Order Institute. If she is still willing to take me in as a student by then, then I will agree to it."

"Yohoo, two sages, and now there's another senior from a hundred years ago." Dixia teased, "I didn't expect that the silly boy I picked up from the desert is so likable."

"Aren't you the same?" Rhodes laughed.

"Hey, what? Do you have any objections?"

Dixia was not the shy little girl she once was, she admitted it directly and openly.

Who says that if you like someone you have to confess to him/her in person?

Tacitly.

Sometimes it is also a kind of telepathy.

Dishiya is a very cheerful and generous person, and the same is true when it comes to relationships.

If you like it, you like it; if you don't like it, you don't like it.

She always speaks her mind.

The same is true for Rhodes.

The two had already made their feelings clear to each other in Xumi City, and even without saying it, they both understood each other's thoughts.

That is after the birthday of the flower goddess.

The two of them were always apart more than together. In the entire six months, they were together for less than a month at most.

But this temporary separation cannot cool down the feelings between the two.

on the contrary.

The longer we can’t see each other, the more I miss you.

Just like now.

"Ha ha--"

In response to Dishia's straight ball attack, Rod laughed, grabbed her hand, and accelerated his feet suddenly. Just like when he was in Lidu Valley, he took Dishia to play her favorite bungee jumping in the mountains.

Of course.

Rhodes didn't go out this time to travel with Dixia.

Now Setale has returned to the House of the Imam as an undercover agent, and it will take some time for her to get the information Rhodes wants. The task assigned by Nafis to deal with Hafsa was taken over by Adebay, and he also completed the Sulun school assignment assigned by Gulesh.

So this is a very rare free time.

Rhodes planned to seize the time to search the dead zone in the rainforest area, and take advantage of these troublesome disasters to continue the nesting doll-style strengthening that Nashida mentioned.

Anyway.

In a world like Teyvat with extraordinary powers.

The greatest truth is that your own fist is strong.

If he could reach a power comparable to that of a demon god by devouring the dead realm before the god-making plan began, then he would not need to engage in any conspiracy or trickery and could just flatten the House of the Order.

With this thought.

When they found the first dead zone, Rhodes gave Dixia some instructions and rushed in impatiently.

Brainstorm ideas.

How to save the Great Compassionate Tree King?

I have my own ideas, but I would like to copy everyone's comments. Is there anyone willing to give some advice?
