In Teyvat, it all begins with rescuing the grass god.

The Thunder Element Eye, which came from Maple Plains's best friend, had been completely extinguished after its owner's death. However, during the final battle with the Thunder God, Maple Plains's wish and his best friend's wish aligned for a short period of time, causing the Eye to resonate and successfully relight itself.

Unfortunately.

After blocking Thor's attack, the resonance between the Eye of God and Maple Leaf lost its effect and returned to a dim, empty shell.

Therefore, from the current perspective...

At least as far as Rhodes and Desia know.

Only Rhodes is capable of activating two Eyes of God simultaneously without them interfering with each other.

Such a unique characteristic.

This also brought great potential danger to Rhodes.

Once this is exposed.

The Order of the Church would certainly be very interested in such a special existence as him, and research institutions in other countries would also be very interested in him, including a madman that Rhodes absolutely cannot afford to mess with right now.

Dotore, the second executive officer from the seven kingdoms of Teyvat to the Winter Kingdom.

This madman is a fanatical enthusiast of human experimentation. He doesn't treat people as human beings at all, and he will use any means to get his hands on anything that interests him.

That's why I'm mentioning him separately.

It's because this guy is currently in Mount Sumeru, in the desert.

Moreover, his research facility, Vitality House, is not particularly far from Aru Village.

"Well, I see."

After responding to Desia, Rhode carefully wrapped the Fire Elemental Eye in a piece of cloth and stuffed it into the inner pocket of his clothes to make sure it wouldn't be visible.

The matter of the unexpected second Eye of God has come to a temporary end.

just.

After this incident...

The atmosphere became somewhat somber during Rod and Desia's subsequent trip through the rainforest.

Dixia always looks like she has something to say.

But every time she tried to speak, she ended up shaking her head and sighing.

Rhodes didn't bother to ask her what she wanted to say, instead focusing all his energy on finding grass slimes and collecting herbs.

The book that Tinari gave me is wonderful.

Not only does it include all the common plants in the rainforest, but it also has a comprehensive guide to desert plants.

The plant that Rod was looking for, with its well-developed root system that could retain water, was described in this book.

During breaks

He would hold the book, compare it with his notes, and make a detailed list of things he needed to prepare for his return trip.

What kind of writing is this?

After holding it in for several days, Dixia finally couldn't resist anymore.

She wanted to ask this while she was at Zenna Garden.

Rhodes said that.

He knows the Teyvat script, but he can't write it.

The script he was writing now was much simpler in structure than the Teyvat script that Desia was familiar with. Judging from Rhodes's skillful manner, it was clear that he was already used to writing this script.

However, this script did not match any of the scripts that Dixia knew.

Dixia considered herself to have seen quite a bit of the world after traveling all over the years.

She had seen the books of the Order of the Church and the ancient ruins, but this was the first time she had ever seen the script written by Rhodes.

"The writing of my hometown."

Rhodes put down his pen and looked up at Desia.

Where is your hometown?

This is a question that has puzzled Desia ever since she met Rhodes.

Desia had considered the possibility that Rhodes was a Fontaine or Liyue person, and it was not impossible that he was a Winterborn or Nata.

The only thing she hadn't thought about.

That's Rod's current answer.

"My hometown is beyond the starry sky."

Rhodes didn't try to hide anything and stated the truth directly.

"what!!!"

Desia sprang to her feet, looking at Rhodes in disbelief.

Beyond the starry sky?

What is that place?

That's definitely not Teyvat!

in other words.

I always thought that the unlucky stranger I picked up in the desert wasn't a Teyvat at all! He was actually a traveler from beyond the stars, as legend has it?

"Don't ask me anything else."

"I don't know why I came to this continent."

Rod smiled wryly, "All I know is that I just took a nap, and when I opened my eyes I was in the desert."

at the same time.

There was still a lingering shadow in his heart that he hadn't been able to shake off since he obtained the first Eye of God.

no doubt.

He is a time traveler.

Whether or not it qualifies as a Descendant is another matter.

How could a transmigrator from outside Teyvat obtain the Eye of God, a treasure usually reserved for Teyvat natives? And two of them at that?

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 29 How about we try taking the entrance exam for the Order Academy?

After Rhodes revealed his identity.

Some questions that had troubled Dixia for a long time were finally answered.

So in the following days...

She would always ask questions like a curious child.

Just like now.

"Rhodes, do you have this kind of mushroom in your hometown?"

"I'm telling you."

"These mushrooms taste amazing. Slice them and fry them in oil. No seasoning is needed. They're even more delicious than roasted meat."

"But let's make this clear first."

"These mushrooms are poisonous and must be thoroughly cooked before eating, otherwise you'll get diarrhea."

Desia held a mushroom with a cap the size of a fist in her hand and asked Rhodes with great interest.

Questions like these.

She's asked that countless times these past few days.

Regarding the fact that Rhodes is a traveler from beyond the stars.

Desia showed great interest and was extremely keen to compare things in Teyvat with the homeland Rhodes spoke of.

In fact.

In Teyvat, the term "traveler from beyond the stars" is not unfamiliar.

This is thanks to a very famous adventurer.

Alice.

He calls himself the great adventurer of all worlds.

Author of the bestselling book in Teyvat, "The Teyvat Guide".

A traveler beyond the starry sky.

This word comes from her book.

Rod had read the book.

It was much more exciting than the abridged version he had seen before.

The real Teyvat Travel Guide, besides featuring Alice's various whimsical and outrageous antics, also records the customs and traditions of the different Teyvat countries, including their festivals, customs, recommended tourist areas, and so on.

In this book.

Alice has mentioned the customs and habits of the other world more than once, comparing them with the customs of the various countries of Teyvat.

Dixia has also read this book.

So she not only showed no resentment towards Rhodes' true identity, but also accepted it very readily, and even smiled more often than before.

"This kind of mushroom doesn't exist in my hometown, but similar ones exist in other places. They taste good but are poisonous."

Rhodes carefully examined the characteristics of the mushroom in Dixia's hand, compared it with the types of poisonous mushrooms recorded in the "Rainforest Biology Guide," and came up with the exact name of the species.

"Unfortunately, it can only grow in damp places."

Rhodes shook his head.
