People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 342 Mona/Cole: Are you serious about robbing the gods?

"Boom, boom, boom -"

Along with the roar of machinery, several huge autonomous machines were moving forward rapidly on the broad plains to the north of Liyue Harbor.

Looking at the plain in front of me, which is still lush and green in winter and even has many flowers blooming,
The scholars who had come from the vicinity of the abyss and admired the withered yellow weeds along the way were also greatly surprised.

Inside the second self-regulatory unit in front of the team,

Even though I had learned about the situation here beforehand for this trip,
Kelaila looked at this extremely beautiful and vibrant plain, still somewhat amazed and said:
".Although I have heard that the Sage has signed a contract with the gods of Liyue, and even appeared on the night of the previous Lantern Festival,

But no matter how many times I see it, the power of God is truly incredible."

According to rumors, it was the gods of Xumi who transformed the environment of Guiliyuan on the night of the Lantern Festival.

Not only does it make the entire plain as vibrant as spring and summer, but even the fertility of the soil has been greatly improved.

After the General Affairs Department confirmed the authenticity of this statement, a large number of papers on the changes in Guiliyuan also appeared in the Void System.

But even if you read the data on paper many times, its actual effect is far less than observing it in person.
Because I have read some ecology books in the library on weekdays,

That's why Leila understood how amazing it was to make such a change in just one night.

"Haha, after all, it was that guy who did it.
If we really want to transform land, what could be more troublesome than turning a desert into a rainforest? "

"When the flowers in Aru Village were in full bloom, even Candice was stunned."

Hearing Leila's admiration for the power of the gods, Dishia, who had seen the gods in action in Aru Village, couldn't agree more.

Mona: “.” Although I wanted to say something, the gods were here after all, so it was better not to speak for now.

After hearing this talk about gods, an astrologer glanced at a young scholar next to him who seemed nonchalant.
Just like an ostrich burying its head in the sand, it focuses on being honest.

But even though several knights from Mond volunteered to lead the way in the first autonomous machine, there were still more scholars from Xumi than just here.
Therefore, even if Mona didn't speak, the white-haired girl would not hide her curiosity:
"'Sage Lord'? Does this also refer to the God of Authority?"

"But according to the information in the void, the sages in the Order Institute should refer to those big figures like the Seven Stars of Liyue, right?"

She has heard a lot about this Xumi God recently, and she and Ying are also very interested in similar topics.
Now after hearing this somewhat unique name, Paimon asked curiously.

"Ah, I almost forgot. To people other than scholars, the name you use is indeed more widely known."

Nodding, confirming Paimon's guess, Leila also corrected her own statement.

"Hmm, I feel like this god has so many names. The same seems to be true for Liyue's God of Rock."

"Could this be the symbol of strength? Then should Paimon and Ying design a few more titles?"

Suddenly discovering some subtle commonalities between the gods of the two countries, Paimon scratched his head and spoke in a somewhat incomprehensible manner.

I glanced around.
When he saw the scholar in the corner flipping through the documents nonchalantly, Paimon recalled that the scholar seemed to have introduced this god before, but he and Ying did not ask questions about it.

So, while Kelai and Mona didn't know how to react, the white-haired ball also floated towards Lin Feng and asked simply:
"——Come to think of it, you seemed to have told us something similar when Ying and I first arrived in Liyue.

Why are gods called sages? Do you know the reasons for these titles? "

Lin Feng: "."

I shouldn't have participated in the discussion.

A drunkard who was hitching a ride was also with Kaia and the others. Why is he asking me about this now?

But before the puzzled Lin Feng could react,
The moment he saw Paimon's action, Cole, who was already frozen in shock, clapped his hands and spoke as if he suddenly remembered something:
"——Ah! I suddenly remembered that Mr. Tinari just talked about this problem two days ago!"

"If you don't mind, why not let me answer it!"

——No matter what, it is too strange to ask the gods themselves to explain their own problems. After all, I can't just watch this happen in front of my eyes.

"Eh? Has Senior Tinari ever researched this issue? If it's him, he must have done a pretty thorough research!"

Without waiting for Paimon to answer, Leila, who had already heard of this outstanding graduate of Tinari, spoke expectantly.
Obviously, I want to hear what conclusion this predecessor, who is often used as an example, has reached.

"Well, I actually only remembered a little bit of the basics.

The remaining purely theoretical stuff is too complicated, so don’t have too high expectations.”

After realizing that Leila seemed to have misunderstood his learning ability, Cole could only bite the bullet and introduce himself after a brief explanation:

".I remember that Teacher Tinari said that the term "sage" was only used to refer to the leaders of each academy in the past, and unless students from the academy were communicating with each other, they would usually have a specific prefix.

But later when the position of 'Great Sage' was abolished,

Because there were too many vacancies in the Ministry of Rites at that time, the gods took over almost all the work of the sages during that period. Therefore, in order to distinguish the two gods at that time, everyone called them "Little Auspicious Grass King" and "First Sage" respectively.

The "First Sage" is generally understood as the 'first sage' or the 'sage among sages'. Today, scholars are still more accustomed to using this title to refer to gods.

Therefore, if you encounter "Sage" without any prefix, it is generally referred to as "First Sage", which is what residents of other countries often call "God of Authority."

After a brief pause, Cole tried to search in his mind, and continued to explain:

"Then, if scholars are more accustomed to using "God of Wisdom" and "First Sage" to refer to the two gods,

Among the majority of rainforest residents who are not scholars, "God of Grass and Trees" and "God of Merchants" are sometimes used to refer to the latter.
According to Teacher Tinari, this is because the sage had previously greened the desert and repaired the roads.

"."

After all, he arrived at Xumi later, so some of the information Cole said could only be described as "supposedly". Looking around, he found that everyone, including the two travelers, seemed to be listening very seriously, and Cole felt more confident:
".Then, the term "God of Authority" first came from the mercenary groups in the desert,

The main reason is that after the Sage came to power, he eliminated the Winter Research Base and cleared out illegal mercenaries across the country.

Most of the laws that the disciplinary officers refer to when arresting people today were established by the Sage during that period."

".Finally, among some residents who still refuse to leave the desert area, in addition to the "God of Authority", the "God of All Spirits" is sometimes used to refer to the wise man. "

"It is said that this is because the Red King was once known as the King of the Four Corners of the Earth and the Lord of All Living Things and Spirits, and the Sage is considered by these desert residents to be the successor of the Red King's authority, so he is called this way."

"."

The work of eye-opening and commenting is finally almost done.
Cole, who had never realized that his memory was so good while studying, was slightly relieved and felt that there should not be any big problem.

"Uh, Paimon's head is dizzy. I didn't expect there are so many details behind this."

Because Cole finally said that what she said now might only be part of it.

Feeling that he couldn't even remember what he had just learned, Paimon put his hands on his head and looked dazed.

"Ah, actually you don't have to remember it so clearly."

"In fact, because of the mercenaries and treasure-stealing groups that fled to other countries,
Generally speaking, the "God of Authority" is most well-known among residents of other countries, and in most cases it is sufficient to call him that."

Cole looked at Paimon, who was obviously confused and gave him an admiring look, and waved his hands quickly, saying that he just happened to remember these things.

When she was in the castle, she remembered that Teacher Tinari also said,
There are some scholars in the Court of Ordinances who specialize in studying the evolution of the names of gods and the symbolic meanings behind them. Compared to those scholars, what she remembered is just the basics.

"Oh, it's better for Ying and I to stay like this. If we call each other too many and too complicated names, even I won't be able to remember them."

He shook his head and temporarily put aside the pile of things he had just heard in his mind.
Because he felt a little hungry, Paimon decided to take care of the really important things first:

".Speaking of which, we must have been walking for a long time.

It’s getting dark now, so it’s time to set up camp, rest, and have a good meal.”

"."

"——Ah! Report!"

"Autonomous Robot No. 1 has detected a lot of life reactions ahead! The distance is very close, it should be carrying some kind of anti-detection device.
After comprehensive judgment, we suspect that it is a group of treasure robbers who are here to rob! Do you need to adjust the direction urgently? "

!!!

Before Paimon could finish his words, he suddenly heard the driver asking for instructions.

Although it is unclear why the scholar's tone is not panic, but even a bit excited and eager to try,
But looking at the dense red dots on the screen, Paimon, who suspected that there were at least hundreds of enemies, said in disbelief:
"Ah?! Treasure-stealing group! But isn't this still within Liyue?"

"——And there are so many enemies? Generally speaking, treasure-stealing groups should be small groups with only a few or a dozen people, right?"

I never imagined that there could be so many people in the treasure-stealing group.

Although because of Fantuan's presence, even if Lin Feng was not around, she and Ying were fully confident that they could escape from the encirclement and even defeat these enemies.
But considering that there were so many scholars around her who were obviously not good at fighting, she felt that since there was no benefit in fighting with these guys, it would be better to go around them to avoid anyone getting hurt.

Mona/Cole: "."Robbery? Could these treasure-stealing groups imagine that there was a god among the group they were robbing?
"."

At one moment, as this request came,
Putting aside the Miaolun scholars who carried "engineering equipment" with them, Mona and Cole were speechless but not nervous at all.
Apart from Leila, whose eyes were already spinning after hearing the words "hundreds of treasure-stealing groups", only Paimon and Dishia were inclined to retreat.

Lin Feng: "."

It's rare, dealing with gods and ancient dragons all the time, I almost forgot when was the last time I had a serious battle.

Although he already knew what happened here with his ability to detect.
It is also known that these treasure-stealing groups have mechanical interference devices funded by a mysterious person. Once they get here, it is unlikely that they will be able to leave driving these initial versions of transport-type autonomous machines.

But knowing this, he still allowed the convoy to crash into here. His thoughts were actually very clear.

".Ah! Not good! Self-regulatory agency number one seems to have been interfered with by some unknown factor. It is unable to act for a short period of time and seems to have been surrounded!"

Although the situation was unfavorable, the driver became more and more excited:

——As one of the researchers in the agency, he knew without much thought that this must have been affected by the device that interfered with the energy of the earth veins.
However, the anti-interference ability of the carrier-based autonomous agency is poor because it is still in the testing stage and no relevant components have been installed yet.

But they have more than one machine that is not in the testing phase!

The 'Drilling Machine' based on the giant snake of the ruins, the 'Carrier' based on the dragon beast of the ruins, and the 'Construction Site Protective Wall Sustainable Production Device' that their team leader cleverly combined with the Eternal Dragon Beast and the Energy Mechanism.
Although they are nominally construction machinery and in principle are not for human use, if the situation gets bad enough, then there will be a chance, right?
"."

Seeing that some of their companions were already surrounded, most of the people present were inclined to fight these guys.
Although Leila was a little scared, she still glanced at Lin Feng beside her.

"."

It was very easy to get the message from the girl's eyes that she wanted to make the decision herself.

Because of the special situation, Lin Feng, who originally planned to take it easy, put the book in his hand aside.
He stood up quickly and gave the order:

"——Notify the autonomous agencies in the rear to deploy their defenses and shrink their formations to prevent being defeated by the enemy!

If necessary, you can use all means of self-protection! "

"——Next, I will personally go to the encirclement of the treasure-stealing group with several security team members who are good at fighting to participate in the rescue operation!"
