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

"For someone like me who lies flat, it's enough to pass the exams every semester. I spend my free time on entertainment, such as playing games, going out for team building, falling in love, etc. Anyway, it's freedom. Feel free to do whatever you want.”

Speaking of entertainment.

Rhodes asked curiously: "By the way, given the attitude of the Teaching Academy towards art, how do the students of the Teaching Academy relax themselves during the holidays?"

"."

This seemed to be a difficult question to answer. Nacida was silent for a long time before she said dullly: "Write a paper, read a book, and research a topic."

"what?"

Rhodes' expression instantly matched that of the old man on the subway, and he frowned and said, "Isn't this treating people as machines?"

"Maybe it's because graduation is too difficult."

Nasida's face became much darker: "Because of me, the Order's acquisition of knowledge has fallen into a state of stagnation for a long time."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Rhodes: "Stop! You started again, right?"

"."

Nacida didn't reply.

Looking at her look, Rhodes said with a tone of hatred: "I think I scolded you too lightly last time. What does your failure to graduate from the Order Academy have to do with you?"

"Oh, are you trying to say that because you can't save the World Tree, the sages have set such high graduation requirements in order to acquire as much knowledge as possible? I hope these outstanding graduates can pursue knowledge on the road Do yourself a greater favor.”

"It's pure bullshit."

Rhodes said disdainfully: "It's obviously those sages who are greedy, so what does it have to do with you?"

"But."

After being scolded by Rhodes again, Nasida was not angry this time, but was in a low mood.

"You."

Rhodes sighed.

Lamenting its misfortune, anger is indisputable.

He now understood what this sentence meant.

Nasida's current state can be said to be the most vivid interpretation of eight words.

"I heard a few words once."

"Knowledge is bait floating in the sea of ​​ignorance. Life has always been the goal, and wisdom is the means."

"God of Wisdom, can you explain it to me?"

This is a passage from the game text, and Rhodes now gave them to Nasida intact.

"Knowledge is bait floating in the sea of ​​ignorance. Life has always been the goal, and wisdom is the means."

Nacida repeated these words.

then.

She repeated it again, her eyes gradually brightened, as if she had some understanding.

Rhodes also expressed his understanding of this passage in a timely manner.

"The Order has taken the wrong path."

"They regard the pursuit of wisdom as an end, rather than as a way and means to improve people's livelihood, that is, they fail to transform science and technology into productivity."

"In pursuit of wisdom, they have become obsessed and obsessed."

"Why do they set up so many difficulties to make it difficult for students to graduate smoothly?"

"Is it really because those students were unqualified?"

"I'll give you a simple example."

"The graduation requirement of twenty languages ​​​​has been abolished by the intellectual school."

"Although it has been abolished now, did this condition exist at least a hundred years ago?"

"Indeed, the Epistemology School studies linguistics, ancient writing and semiotics, which requires a large amount of knowledge reserves. But why is this condition abolished now?"

Nacida didn't answer.

Rhodes said for her: "Because it's useless, right? Because most of the languages ​​they learn are completely unusable, and such conditions not only make it difficult for students of the Knowledge Sect to graduate, but also make it difficult for new students to enroll. Students will be intimidated when choosing a school, so the Order will abolish this rule. "

"So, here's the problem."

"Why did the Imperial Academy set this graduation requirement in the first place?"

This time.

Nasida did not remain silent, but replied with a complex expression: "Because I have learned more languages, it is possible to have more access to the wisdom that the Order has not yet obtained."

"Look, right, you think so too."

"The Order has fallen into a strange circle."

"They regard the pursuit of wisdom as their goal, and they will do whatever it takes to achieve this goal."

"include."

"Killing God."

When talking about this, Rhodes saw Nasida's body shaking obviously.

Not to be afraid of.

Instead, he was frightened by the audacity of the Council of Eminence.

Although she hadn't found any signs that the Order of the Gods was trying to kill the gods, she still had some doubts about what Rhodes had said to her in the dream world and the sages' attitude of not caring about her.

Nasida suddenly felt for no reason that the Order might really be planning to do this!

Take a deep breath.

Nasida, who was still a little confused just now, returned to normal expression. At the same time, she looked at Rhodes with a frown and asked seriously: "Then what do you think the correct wisdom should be?"

When asked this question.

Nacida did not regard herself as the omniscient and omnipotent god of wisdom at all, but only regarded herself as a student thirsty for knowledge, with a correct and serious attitude.

That's exactly what he said.

[Knowledge is bait floating in the sea of ​​ignorance. 】

In the face of unknown knowledge, there is no identity of god, only Nasida who is thirsty for knowledge.

"Cough-cough-"

In response, Rhodes cleared his throat and said something that contained his own understanding: "Knowledge is the way and means used to improve people's livelihood, and it is a tool to transform science and technology into productivity. In my opinion, this is called wisdom."

same as usual.

Nasida repeated it twice more, then nodded, keeping these words firmly in her heart.

This is not over yet.

Rhodes, who was sitting opposite her, began to rebuke the sins currently committed by the Order.

"In addition to the crazy pursuit of knowledge, the current teaching council has also classified the knowledge that should belong to all Sumeru people. A person can only learn the knowledge given to him by the void, like a farmer who can only learn the knowledge of farming. Knowledge, craftsmen can only learn the knowledge of creation, there are almost no other ways to learn knowledge.”

"In order to prevent the circulation of knowledge, they even banned books and forcibly solidified everyone to the current stage."

"They say hard work can change your destiny."

"But under the control of the Teaching Council, is it really useful to work hard?"

Rhodes mercilessly tore off the fig leaf of the Order Academy and pointed pointedly at the consequences of the Order Academy's forced control of knowledge.

Then he continued to express his opinion on the previous topic: "Why does the Order Council do this? Why does it have to divide people into three, six or nine grades? Why not allow everyone to learn the knowledge they should have?"

"I'm afraid it's because they have regarded knowledge as their own personal property, and the wisdom they pursue has long deviated from the original intention of King Daci Shu to establish the Teaching Academy."

"Theoretically."

"This should be called blasphemy."

After the words "blasphemy" fell, Nasida couldn't help but sigh.

Is that all?

From the moment they imprisoned themselves, they were already committing blasphemy.

"I understand what you mean."

At this time, Nasida's eyes had regained clarity, and she no longer wondered whether it was her fault that caused the Order to be so evil.

Rod is right.

The Jiaolingyuan is no longer the Jiaolingyuan it used to be.

The original intention of the former King Daci Shu when he founded the Jiaolingyuan was to let his knowledge shine and spread in Sumeru through the organization of the Jiaolingyuan.

But now the Teaching Council has forcibly taken the knowledge that should belong to the people of Sumeru into its own hands, causing this knowledge to not be used where it should be used.

It's not your fault.

It's a matter of the Order.

Want to change this problem.

You shouldn't look for fault in yourself, but let the Ecclesiastical Order review it carefully!

After thinking about this

Nasida suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment. The dark clouds that had hung over her head were blown away in an instant, and the roads that had once confused her were clearly visible in front of her.

"Thank you, Rod."

This was the first time that Rhodes had come to enlighten him.

Speaking of these, Nasida herself felt a little embarrassed.

She is obviously a god.

But he often needed Rhodes, a mortal, to enlighten him.

And if it weren't for him, I would still be denying myself and constantly looking for a way to catch up with the Great Ci Tree King.

and many more.

mortal?

After thanking him, Nasida was stunned for a moment, tilted her head and looked at Rhodes again and again.

"Is there something wrong with me?"

Rhodes, who was a little numb from the sight, lowered his head and looked at himself.

There's nothing wrong with it.

All are normal.

"I want to temporarily cut off the dream world and digest the knowledge you taught me today."

"Well, that."

"When you go out, remember to check yourself to see if there is anything extra."

After saying that, before Rhodes could ask, Nasida closed the dream world and forcibly kicked Rhodes out of his consciousness.

"Ouch—"

His consciousness returned to reality, and Rhodes, who had been forcibly kicked out, suddenly sat up and rubbed his temples in slight pain.

This feeling of being forcibly cut off from contact is very bad, and my head is buzzing now.

"By the way, what's extra on me?"

Recalling what Nasida said before, Rhodes groped around.

Not on my body.

But under the pillow he found something that made his expression change.

It was a grass-green Eye of God.

It is also Rhodes’ third Eye of God.
