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

As soon as I stepped into Xumi City.

In an instant, my ears were surrounded by the sound of hawking one after another. Everywhere I could see, there was busy traffic and people coming and going.

Rhodes paused and looked ahead.

It wasn't until someone urged him not to block the road that he moved again.

"It's the first time you see such a big city. You're surprised, right?"

Disiya said without surprise: "Everyone who comes from the desert will be like you when they see Xumi City for the first time."

However, Rhodes' answer was not what Desiya thought.

He shook his head slightly and sneered: "My hometown is a hundred times more prosperous than here, and there are too many cities like this to count. How could I be surprised by this so-called prosperity?" ”

"A hundred times more prosperous. So many that we can't even count them."

The corner of Desiya's mouth moved, and she was suddenly told by Rhodes that she couldn't do it.

What else can I say?

Everyone has said that the prosperity of Xumi City is completely incomparable with that of their hometown.

Continue to praise the prosperity of Xumi City?

After a moment, Desiya reacted.

"Then what were you looking at just now?"

Since he was not shocked by the prosperity of Xumi City, then why was Rhodes stopping here and observing carefully?

"nothing."

"I just saw a face that looked very familiar."

Rhodes looked in the same direction again and smiled: "I guess I admitted my mistake."

there.

A figure just walked out of the crowd and returned to his job.

That familiar outfit.

Although he didn't see the face, Rhodes was still able to identify the man.

Receptionist at the Adventurers' Guild, Catherine.

Well, it should be 'she', right?

Chapter 69 Trainee Adventurer Rhodes

"Toward the stars and the abyss."

They were already far away, but after hearing the familiar voice again, Rhodes couldn't help but look back.

The iconic uniform of the Adventurers Association, a headdress similar to a maid's outfit, plus the classic opening line.

no doubt.

This person is Catherine, the well-known receptionist of the Adventurers Association.

In Rhode's previous life, he had to come here every day to check in and report to receive rough stones.

So when he entered Xumi City and saw her familiar outfit among the crowds of people coming and going, Rhodes immediately set his sights on her.

But it made Rhodes so concerned.

Not just because he was so familiar with Catherine.

There is another reason.

That was the little grass god who was imprisoned by the Order. Occasionally, he would use Catherine's body to come out and take a walk in Sumeru City.

Don't look at the fact that the Little Grass God is now nominally imprisoned.

In fact, with the current methods of the Holy Order, it is impossible to completely imprison this god who is gradually regaining his authority.

The power of the Grass God, in addition to manipulating the laws of nature and elements, is also the ability to integrate and create dreams that are both reasonable and unexpected.

It sounds like this kind of authority has nothing to do with the name of the God of Wisdom.

In this regard.

Rhodes saw such a passage in a book that was eliminated by the Order Council that could be used to explain this matter.

[When dreaming, people’s brains are most active. In other words, dreams are actually a collection of human wisdom. 】

With this kind of authority, the Little Grass God can attach his consciousness to others and control that person to act.

But she has always respected the self-will of the people of Sumeru, so she has never used her ability to invade people's consciousness. She will only borrow the body of Catherine's doll when necessary.

Yes, that's right.

Catherine is not a living person, but a bionic doll created by the Winter Kingdom, one of the seven kingdoms of Teyvat.

However, Rhodes was not sure whether the Catherine he saw just now was possessed by the little grass god.

After all, that Catherine just walked around the street and then went back, without any unnecessary movements or any unusual expressions.

"That's the Adventurers Association over there. You haven't been there yet, have you?"

Seeing that Rhodes paid more attention to the Adventurers Association, Desiya took the initiative to introduce him to the Adventurers Association.

in her description.

The Adventurers Association is a highly liberal organization with a very loose system.

There are no dues and no obligations imposed on adventurers.

Its motto is "Toward the Stars and the Abyss", and its slogan for recruiting adventurers is "Explore a land full of miracles and secrets".

Moreover, the Adventurer Association's activities span the entire Teyvat continent. Even when facing lands with extreme climates and dangers like the Dragon's Back Snow Mountain and the Great Red Sand Sea, they will not be timid at all.

Finally, Desiya gestured towards the Adventurers Association: "You can also go there and put your name up. With the identity of an adventurer, it will be easier to go anywhere in the future."

That's a good idea.

Rhodes made his decision without much thought.

"I have to remind you."

"The Adventurer's Association does not care much about the adventurers under its command, but some rules are still very strict. If things go wrong, they will be hunted down by those senior adventurers or even legendary adventurers."

On the way to the Adventurers Association, Disia did not forget to continue to explain to Rhodes some of the rules of the Adventurers Association, which are some basic principles used to restrain adventurers and prevent them from committing excessive behaviors.

There is another one that has never been shown in the game before.

That is what Dixia said just now. For adventurers who violate the association's rules, the Adventurer's Association will have a very severe punishment mechanism. At the very least, they will be expelled from the adventurer's status, and at the worst, they will be held accountable for subsequent responsibilities.

This is why members of the Adventurer's Guild are so popular in every country.

How can a truly loose organization be so valued and trusted?

Although this was the first time he heard about this punishment rule, Rhodes could still understand the reason.

"Toward the stars and the abyss, welcome to the Adventurers Association."

While talking and laughing, a familiar voice sounded in my ears again.

Rhodes looked.

Miss Catherine was looking at Rhodes with a smile. Although she was a doll, her expression was extremely vivid and she didn't look inhuman at all.

After saying that classic opening sentence, she continued to ask: "Are you going to join the Adventurers Association or are you here to issue a commission?"

"I want to join the Adventurers' Guild."

It’s the same as what Desiya said just now.

After hearing Rhodes' answer, Catherine didn't ask questions like other organizations did with new members. She wanted to dig up the roots of eight generations of her ancestors. After confirming that Rhodes agreed to the rules of the association, she went directly from the table. He took out a small book with the four words "Proof of Adventure" clearly written on the cover.

then.

She filled in the word Rhodes in the name column one stroke at a time, and stamped it with the official seal of the Adventurers Association to prove the authenticity of this adventure certificate.

In a very simple step, Rhodes' current identity was transformed into a trainee adventurer.

Subsequently.

She also explained to Rhodes many things that new adventurers need to pay attention to, and said emphatically, "There are only advantages and no disadvantages to joining the Adventurers Association."

When she said this, Rhodes felt a little shy as he recalled the first time he talked to Catherine in the game.

"Then I want the benefits now, okay?"

It is different from Catherine in the game who gives rewards immediately after completing the dialogue.

Rodpi's move did not cause any fluctuation in her expression, and she continued to explain the use of the Adventure Certificate.

This made Rhodes a little disappointed.

Wait until Katherine has finished telling her story about the Proof of Adventure.

Rhodes opened it and looked at it.

I found the commission and reward information recorded in the notebook that Catherine mentioned.

Just as he thought, what can be registered on the adventure certificate is some long-term valid commissioned mission information.

Including but not limited to destroying XX monsters, collecting certain medicinal herbs, or exploring certain ruins.

The rewards given by such a delegation are not much.

Only one has a higher reward for exploring unknown ruins and reporting the information to the Adventurers Association.

As for those commissioned tasks with higher rewards or even sky-high prices, since they may be updated at any time, they can only be accepted at the location of the Adventurers Association.

at the same time.

Catherine also specifically mentioned it.

When the commissioned tasks are completed, the Adventurers Association will collect a certain fee from the rewards of these commissioned tasks, which will be used as funds to maintain the Adventurers Association and pensions after the official adventurers retire.

"A large-scale commissioned task publishing platform."

After summarizing Catherine's words, Rhodes did not choose to accept the mission. He put away the adventure certificate, paid more attention to Catherine's face and left.

Unfortunately.

The current Catherine is indeed not the little grass god.

Chapter 70: Convincing people with reason

"Why don't you join the Adventurers Guild?"

After reading the instructions on the adventure certificate again, Rhodes asked doubtfully: "You mercenaries often frequent the rainforest area and the Great Red Sand Sea. Even if you don't accept those special commissions, these long-term commissions are It can be done easily, and there is no restriction from the Adventurers Association that mercenaries cannot be adventurers. "

Catherine was right.

There are indeed only advantages and no disadvantages to joining the Adventurer's Guild.

There are many benefits in the association. For adventurers of different levels, as long as they have the title of official adventurer or above, they can continue to receive different amounts of pensions from the association for retirement after retirement.

It is not too difficult to be promoted from a trainee adventurer to a full-fledged adventurer.

Just complete the special commission on the association bulletin board once, or complete three long-term commissions.

For Disiya, these are not difficult things at all.

She can definitely be the leader of the Blazing Hunting Beast while also being an adventurer.

Desiya's answer to this was: "Probably because I don't have much sense of adventure."

She smiled and said: "Don't think that the Adventurers Association recruits people casually and then they really have no taboos. This group of adventurers stick together very well with each other. Except for a very few adventurers who are strong enough to go alone, Most adventurers go together in a group to perform missions, which is similar in nature to our mercenary group, except that they call it an adventure group."

"The Adventurers Association did not say that mercenaries cannot be adventurers, but with such an additional identity, there will be a gap between them and those adventurers, and they will not be able to talk together."

"Besides, our mercenary's primary goal is to make money when accepting clients, and we will also choose commissioned tasks as appropriate. We will not rashly accept tasks that exceed our own capabilities for the sake of Mora."

"Adventurers are different."

"Even if they are not entrusted with a mission, they can spend their own money to explore various dangerous places without being paid. They know that there is death ahead, but they are still fearless. I think I can't do this."

"So."
