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

"It's really quite simple."

Disia heard Rhodes' sigh and said: "Just like the person hired this time, we have actually been preventing him from touching those ancient machines, but after all the precautions, we still missed a small part. Yes, he found the opportunity.”

Dishia had no intention of complaining about the scholar.

In her subsequent narration.

Rhodes also had a general understanding of the styles of most of the scholars in the Order Academy.

how to say.

If you use three words to describe it, nerd is more suitable.

Really nerdy.

This is not a derogatory term.

Disiya has communicated frequently with scholars from the Order Academy.

The scholars of the Academy who hire blazing hunting beasts basically have no basic survival skills in the wild. Moreover, they are very courageous. They seem to have no fear of the unknown, ranging from small beasts in the forest to ancient times. There is no killing machine in the ruins that they dare not study.

Not only Disiya, but all mercenary groups will repeatedly remind them not to touch unknown things at will when they are hired by scholars, especially those seemingly immobile machines in ancient ruins.

But the legs and feet are grown on other people’s legs after all.

Those scholars who are eager to research will always find loopholes and cause unnecessary trouble.

Just like the blazing hunting beast suffered heavy losses this time.

But Desiya knew that this was the nature of these nerdy scholars, and she couldn't say anything.

What's more, they also paid pensions and medical expenses in accordance with the contract.

So she could only remind herself repeatedly that she must be more careful when receiving work as a scholar in the future.

Desiya's words also gave Rhodes a deeper understanding of the style of the Order.

And another point that caught Rhode's attention.

Those were the green leaf-shaped earrings worn by the students coming and going.

While they were discussing, the earrings would emit a faint green fluorescence from time to time.

Desiya noticed Rhodes' gaze and introduced him.

"That thing is the Void Terminal."

"It is something used by the Teaching Council to transmit knowledge. It is said that it is a tool made by the Teaching Council using the legacy of Lord Daci Shuwang. Some people also say that it is the cornerstone for Xumi to truly become a city of wisdom."

After saying that, Disia took out a box with a special shape, opened it and showed Rhodes the contents: "This is my void terminal, but you can't use it. This thing is bound to an individual. Moreover, the standards for the issuance of desert residents by the Order are very strict. Even if you have a settlement certificate issued by Aru Village, it may be difficult to apply. "

"It's ok."

Rhodes nodded, his expression slightly indifferent, showing no regrets or disappointment.

In fact.

He knew all the things Disiya said.

However, Rhodes's views on Void Terminal are different from Desia's.

This thing is easy to use.

But it’s too easy to use.

Theoretically speaking, the Void Terminal should function like a search engine. Users can search for the answers they want on it and use it as a reference for self-thinking.

But actually.

The vast majority of Void terminal users have completely given up on personal logic. They just do whatever Void says, without thinking about whether it is correct or not. And because knowledge is easily acquired, they will gradually give up on knowledge. Explore desire.

Why did Desiya describe the scholars of the Order as nerds?

Herein lies the problem.

After using Void for a long time, many of these scholars have forgotten to think about themselves. When something happens, their first reaction is to query Void, and then mechanically follow the steps given by Void to solve the problem.

Let's make a rough analogy.

Just like Rhodes' previous life, why should I waste my brain cells thinking about things that can be found on Baidu?

"It's all the same dependence."

After taking another deep look at the students who kept using the Void Terminal to search for information, Rhodes did not look back and went to the laboratory where Tinari was with Disiya, waiting for him to come out.

Chapter 27 The Second Eye of God

Waited about three hours.

Rhodes and Desiya finally met Tinari.

This young man has a pair of long black ears and a dark green fluffy tail. If you don't look closely, you might mistake him for some kind of rare animal in the forest.

This was the first time Rhodes saw an inhuman race.

Balokasuna.

This is the bloodline origin of Tinari's inhuman appearance.

According to rumors, Balokasuna was once a race under the command of the desert god Red King. They lived in the vast desert. Most of them had light-colored fur and huge auricles that facilitated heat dissipation.

Later, disaster struck and the Red King's kingdom was destroyed. Balokashuna received the grace of the Grass God to survive, and his fur turned green under the influence of the forest.

echoes this rumor.

In the ancient Sumeru language, Balokashuna means the big dog in the desert.

Of course.

The Tinari are not of the pure-blood Balokashuna race.

His ancestors once lived together with Balokashuna, and due to their symbiotic relationship, they eventually gave birth to mixed-race children of the Tinari family.

However, although Tinari's ancestors were a race active in the desert area, he himself is extremely intolerant to heat.

Previously, he hired Desiya to explore the desert, but eventually gave up on it.

It is because of his green to black hair that once he enters the desert area, it will be difficult to withstand the high temperature there, and he will not be able to conduct normal research at all.

"Hello, Ms. Desia."

Tinari has a good memory.

Although he only met Desiya once, he still remembered Desiya.

"Who is this?"

Tinari looked at Rhodes.

Being able to come to him with Desia, he must be Desia's friend.

"My name is Rhodes, from Aru Village."

Rhodes smiled and then said: "Mr. Tinari, I have some questions and I would like you to answer them for me. Is it convenient for you?"

"Need me to answer?"

Tinari glanced at Rhode's clothes.

Not a student of the Imperial Academy.

He was not a student of the Teaching Academy, but he came all the way from the desert to the Zen Garden to ask himself questions.

Tinari blinked, pointed to the pavilion aside and said, "Let's go over there and talk."

After the three of them sat down.

Rhodes asked all the questions he wanted to ask.

The first question is, is there a simple and cheap method of making grass element crystals suitable for civilian use?

The second question is, what are the plants that are suitable for growing in desert areas and have well-developed root systems that can lock in water? How difficult is it to transplant? The growth cycle of a date palm tree from sapling to adult tree. What should you pay attention to if you transplant it into an adult tree?

The third question is, what are the livestock suitable for breeding in desert areas that are resistant to heat, cold, dryness, and rough feeding? If you want to breed, what should you pay attention to in terms of epidemic prevention and feeding?

The fourth question.

The fifth question.

Rhodes asked everything he wanted to ask in one breath.

After asking, he was like a student who was still in school, holding a pen and paper in his hand, sitting there seriously and waiting for Tinari to answer for him.

“There are so many questions.”

Rhodes asked too many questions, even Tinari had to digest them.

The topic of desert is not a big subject in the Order.

One is that the desert environment is harsh, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to achieve results there.

Another thing is that the Ecclesiastical Council has a very unfriendly attitude towards the desert. If you want to conduct research there, the funds you can apply for are far less than those for studying ancient ruins or conducting research in the rainforest area.

In addition, the knowledge about the desert in the void is very limited, and the students can not get much help from the void terminal.

Research is difficult, time-consuming and requires little funding.

This also means that even among the lifeists, who have a relatively strong atmosphere of seeking knowledge, few people go to the desert to conduct ecological research.

But Tinari is an exception.

He always believed that his race originated from the desert. After learning the name of the big dog of the desert, he has always been very interested in the desert. If it were not for his heat-intolerant physique, he might not have come to Daochenglin to be a ranger after graduation, but would have gone to the desert to do scientific research.

But he didn't rush to answer Rhodes' question. Instead, he asked with great interest.

"You should know that if you study it word for word, if I answer these questions of yours, it can be regarded as spreading knowledge."

"You don't know what kind of crime it is to spread knowledge, right?"

At this point, Tinari suddenly laughed: "Hey, you're not the person sent by my teacher to take me back to the Order, are you?"

Tinari's teacher is called Nafis, a sage from the teaching school of teaching.

He wanted him to return to the Order to inherit his position.

It's just that Tinari didn't like the academic atmosphere of the Teaching Order. After graduation, he declined the teacher's invitation to stay, left the Teaching Order, and went to the small place of Huachengguo to work as a ranger from the grassroots level.

Until now.

Every once in a while, someone from the Order would come to invite Tinari to return.

"Mr. Tinari is joking. I am really here to seek knowledge."

Rhodes knew that Tinari was joking with him, so he did not explain anything, but said: "I believe that knowledge should be a treasure that belongs to all living beings, and should be enthusiastically embraced by those who are curious about them, and It is not reduced to a mere survival tool with restricted distribution.”

After saying this.

Not only Rhodes, but Disia, who had always been in a daze, also noticed that Tinari's expression changed instantly.

If Tinari was still very relaxed about Rhodes before, now he is extremely serious.

He looked at Rhodes carefully, from head to toe, especially staying for a while on Rhodes' hands that were calloused by farming and holding swords.

"This is not the place to talk. Come with me."

After all, the place where Rhodes and the others are staying now is Zena Garden, which is also the territory of the Order Academy. Even if Tinari doesn't care about the attitude of the Order Academy, he still has to do the superficial work.

To spread knowledge privately, for the sake of Nafis, the Order Council might not say anything.

Publicly disseminating knowledge to the desert people in the Zen Garden would be a slap in the face, and Nafis couldn't protect him.

So Tinari left the Zen Garden with Rhodes and Disiya, and walked silently to a cabin in the woods.

it's here.

He first took off the Void Terminal from his ear, and then answered Rhodes' questions one by one.

Tinari spoke in great detail, and always made sure that Rhodes recorded what he said completely before talking about the next thing.

Before leaving, he also left a book.

The name is "Rainforest Biological Encyclopedia".

This is a textbook on Sheng Lun school that Tinari co-wrote.

He gave the book to Rod as a gift.
