Genshin Impact, all those behind-the-scenes big shots are me

Naxida was taken aback: "Father is back?"

...

Port of Ormos.

The tremors in the desert did not immediately reach here. Even Su Chen did not expect that the moment he stepped into Sumeru would cause such a commotion, but he did feel the power resonating with the sun disk and the power left behind in the desert.

He then discovered that the talent of the solar disk had been unlocked.

Only after activating his powers did he truly reclaim the strength of the Desert Emperor. However, with the fall of Shurima, this power was weakened once again, and he needed to return to the desert to restore its former glory.

But before that, he had to get out of Port Ormos.

Upon disembarking, we were warmly received by the Sumeru Embassy. After exchanging greetings to our respective deities, we planned to rest briefly in the port before heading to Sumeru City. However, we unexpectedly encountered two groups of gilded tour groups fighting each other in the port of Omos.

It is said that the people of the Desert Emperor and the people of the Red King were fighting, and then a group of thirty people were dispatched to blockade the port of Ormos, determined to get rid of these two troublemakers.

According to the official in charge of receiving guests in Sumeru, the two sides have been causing a great deal of trouble in Omos Port recently, which has seriously affected the lives and trade within the port. As Sumeru's important source of income, and given the current financial difficulties of the Council of Religion, the Great Sage personally ordered a crackdown on security, a strong crackdown! A thorough crackdown! To eradicate evil!

"Don't worry, everyone! Lord Little Lucky Grass King will definitely send someone to rescue us!"

The receptionist addressed the delegation.

When the young receptionist spoke of the Little Grass God, a look of adoration clearly appeared on his face.

"Little Grass Goddess?" Kars asked in confusion. "Doesn't she rarely get involved? I've heard that even the people of Sumeru have a hard time seeing the Little Grass Goddess in their entire lives."

“That was before!” the young receptionist exclaimed excitedly. “But in recent years, the Grass God has been sending out divine pronouncements more and more often. When I first became a receptionist last year, I even caught a glimpse of the Grass God from afar!”

"Oh?"

Su Chen pondered for a moment.

After the simulation affected the future, his memories of being a sage resurfaced. However, this part of his memories did not contain any information about the little grass god. He had initially thought that because he had only been a sage for a short time, the great sage had not told him about the grass god's imprisonment.

It seems that he was never imprisoned. However, the six sages still ruled the Church, and the Little Grass God did not have many opportunities to appear outside. Given his qualifications at the time, he was not qualified to meet the Little Grass God.

Then a name popped into Su Chen's mind—Nessef.

The Church called Nesef mysterious and powerful, seemingly possessing wisdom beyond measure. Because he was deeply trusted by the Grass God, his people treated him with utmost respect.

"What Nessef? Isn't that just Nasus? What a terrible name. This guy can't even change his name properly..." Su Chen thought to himself.

"Strange, why would Nasus go to Narcida... Did the Great Tree King send him?"

In any case, with Nasus by Narcida's side, everything was naturally different.

It's important to know that Nasus assisted him in building Shurima. This knowledgeable priest, if he hadn't followed Su Chen, could have easily built a prosperous kingdom with his abilities.

Just then, chaos erupted on the street below the hotel where I was staying.

"Kill!!"

"Eliminate these remnants of the Red King!"

"His Majesty the Emperor is eternal, and the glory of Shurima shall live on forever!"

"Bullshit! Lord Red King is the true king of the desert!"

A deafening battle cry rang out, followed by a bloodbath as two groups of people charged out from both sides of the street and engaged in a chaotic melee.

These fierce, gilded brigades, having traversed the desert and grown up in the harshest environments, possess strength, will, and even temperament that are unparalleled among warriors.

Ruthless! In the desert, it's all about who's tougher!

If you're ruthless enough, you can survive!

The members of the envoy group had never seen anything like this before.

Even though they had survived the Dragon Plague, encountered the attack on Liyue by the Great Demon of the Sea, and were captured by the magistrates and taken to the castle tower, they were still terrified and turned pale when they witnessed this bloody scene.

Karls and the others took out the talismans given to them by Su Chen, held them in their hands, and prayed.

"May the Emperor bless me, may the Emperor bless me! As long as I can leave Sumeru alive, I will stay in Mondstadt and never run away again."

Su Chen: "..."

"It's alright, it's alright," the young receptionist reassured him repeatedly, then fiddled with the virtual terminal on his ear. After a moment, his face lit up with joy: "Don't panic, they said they've already sent a disciplinary officer here to help!"

"Disciplinary officer? What's that?"

"It's an organization within the Council of Education, and it's very powerful. All scholars are afraid of the Disciplinary Committee."

The messengers thought to themselves that the two groups below were not weak scholars either!

Rather than that, praying for the Emperor's blessing is more reliable!

However, they soon realized that their worries were unnecessary. After waiting anxiously for nearly half an hour, a large group of people finally arrived. The leader, carrying a long spear and dressed like a desert reaper, quickly dispatched one gilded mercenary after another with incredible strength. The people behind him could not even keep up with his speed.

"That person is amazing!" the envoys exclaimed in surprise.

The young receptionist exclaimed excitedly, "That's Lord Seno, the Grand Disciplinary Officer! Great! With him here, let's see how long these damned mercenaries can keep up their arrogance!"

The envoys were stunned: "Is this what a disciplinary officer is like?"

So maintaining order is just about physics, right? No wonder it's called Mount Sumeru; the Master said, "I do not speak of strange phenomena, physical prowess, disorder, or spirits."

“Sino…” Su Chen stroked his chin, a smile appearing on his lips.

Soon, under Seno's leadership, the disciplinary officer and the thirty-man group quickly brought the situation under control and arrested the surviving mercenaries one by one.

The process was not difficult.

Su Chen strongly suspected that Sino and the others had actually arrived long ago, just waiting for the two sides to fight to a standstill before jumping out to defend themselves.

Once they were sure it was safe, the receptionist led them down from the hotel.

"Lord Seno!"

He rushed over and told Seno about their situation. The port of Omos was in complete chaos, and he was no longer capable of escorting Su Chen and the other diplomatic envoys to Sumeru City. So he had no choice but to ask Seno for help.

The latter looked over after hearing this.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Lord Seno, the renowned Grand Disciplinary Officer of the Order of the Church. He has already agreed to send someone to escort us to Sumeru City, so there's no need to worry!" the receptionist said excitedly.

"Ok?"

When he saw Su Chen, a clear look of surprise appeared on Sino's cold expression.

"Professor Hein?!"

Su Chen smiled and said, "Sino, it's been a long time."

Everyone: "???"

...

For the delegation, today was absolutely a dreamlike day.

Leaving aside the thrilling scene of blood spurting everywhere, the current situation is that Lord Su Chen, as a diplomatic envoy, is actually a sage of the Order of the Nation?!

Oh no! Commander Qin, our chief inspector is going to be fired!

"Oh no, what do we do now? Is Lord Su Chen going to stay in Sumeru?"

"That must be it, otherwise why would anyone make a special trip to Sumeru?"

"What do we do? How are we going to explain this to the troupe leader when we get back?"

"Or...we shouldn't go back? If we don't go back, we won't have to explain ourselves."

"Well said, don't say it again next time."

Here.

After a brief reminiscing...

According to Seno, the two gilded guilds currently locked in a fierce battle in Ormos Port are, on the one hand, die-hard fans of the Desert Emperor, who call themselves the 'Light Collectors' of Shurima's Light. They believe that the burning golden disc will rise again when the light shines on the yellow sand, and that will be the day His Majesty the Emperor returns.

At that time, all those great trees and little grass gods will die.

The other is the Eye of Akhmal, the largest local smuggling operation of canned knowledge in Omosport.

Because of their religious differences, the two gilded guilds often fight each other, but this is the first time they have fought so fiercely.

“Professor Hein, where have you been all these years? The Great Sage has been looking for you,” Seno asked.

Although he was puzzled that Su Chen hadn't aged at all over the years but instead seemed younger, he was certain that Su Chen was Hein. Moreover, on the continent of Teyvat, age was the least of their problems.

"I've been traveling around," Su Chen said with a smile. "Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. What you learn is important for putting into practice so that you can explore the truth behind wisdom, isn't that right?"

Seno remained silent, thinking to himself, "Teacher, how did you end up becoming a diplomatic envoy in Mondstadt?"

“Teacher, I’ll finish up here first, and then I’ll take you to Sumeru City later,” Seno said.

Now that he knows Su Chen is Hein, he definitely has to take care of this matter himself. With Sumeru in such a mess right now, if his teacher gets robbed on the way, it would be a huge dereliction of duty for him as both a student and the head of discipline.

Su Chen chuckled: "It's alright, take your time."

Sino left some people to clean up the streets, and then took the troublemakers to the 30-man regiment's camp. As soon as he arrived there, Su Chen saw two familiar figures.

"We've already said we're not suspicious people! We don't even know this Eye of Akhmar you're talking about!"

"We resisted because your people suddenly rushed out and arrested us. It was a conditioned reflex. Later we found out it was a misunderstanding. The traveler had held back, otherwise you wouldn't still be standing here."

"Traveler, don't you agree?"

Paimon tried to reason with the thirty guards, but they clearly ignored him.

"We'll talk about it when the captain gets back."

Paimon was about to say something when she heard Su Chen greet them: "Yo~ Traveler, Paimon, what a coincidence."

"Huh?" The two turned around, first in surprise, then Paimon asked, "Su Chen, you guys were captured too?"

Su Chen was speechless: "What do you mean you were captured? Have some common sense!"

"Teacher, do you know them?" Seno asked.

Upon seeing this, Paimon immediately sidled up to Su Chen, grabbed his arm, and said, "I'm friends with the big boss." Got it, got it, the big boss is a big boss wherever he goes.

Having long been accustomed to this situation, Su Chen explained the two women's circumstances, and Seno immediately ordered them to be released.

Actually, it's not a big problem. The main issue is that Ying's unlucky nature means she always runs into trouble wherever she goes. She accidentally gets caught up in the conflict between two gilded troupes, is misunderstood by the thirty-person group, accidentally injures one of their people, and is eventually brought here.

As for why they were there, that's a long story. To put it simply, after Inazuma finished her quest and found nothing to do, Barbatos told her that there was some kind of Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival in Sumeru, so they came to join in the fun. Since it was still early, they dug for treasure chests and did quests nearby, looked for kittens to feed their pet snakes, and did whatever they were paid for.

It's not shabby to earn money.
