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

Rhodes turned his head and said with a smile, "You are Narcida, not the Great Tree King. Why are you always thinking about chasing after her? Just focus on being yourself. You're always thinking about this and that. Have you ever thought about yourself? Narcida, aren't you the goddess of wisdom? Can't you understand such a simple truth?"

Done.

Rhodes then gave Narcida time to think, while he focused on resting.

In the dream world.

His use of elemental power was still at the same normal level as when he was outside, and the mental and physical fatigue he felt was the same as when he was outside.

During his break, he unconsciously began to ponder the strange things about himself.

To tell the truth.

Even if Rod had a big heart, when faced with so many abnormalities between himself and normal people, he couldn't help but let his mind wander and imagine why he had so many things that were hard for ordinary people to understand.

Let's call him the Descendant.

He did not possess the power of the Descendants, which could rival the strength of an entire world.

Let's say he was blessed by the laws of heaven.

This favor seemed a bit too much, making him feel that there might be some kind of conspiracy against him behind this benefit.

But he really couldn't understand why he was so special.

It can't be a case of the three-dimensional world overwhelming the two-dimensional world, can it?

that's it.

He didn't know how much time had passed when Nasita's voice calling him pulled Rod from his reverie.

Rhodes, snapping out of his daze, looked over and raised an eyebrow, asking, "Hmm? You figured it out so quickly?"

Nasita also gave him a definite answer.

"Yeah, I'm a little angry right now."

"It's good to be angry, that's right~~~ You should be angry. If you don't get angry after being bullied like this, there's no hope for you."

"But I'm also very angry with you."

"Huh? What do you mean? Hey! Ouch, Naxida, what are you doing! Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch! Naxida, Lord Little Lucky Grass King, Lord God of Wisdom, I was wrong, I won't burn your tree anymore, okay? Ouch, stop hitting me! Ouch, ouch, ouch, don't hit my face!"

The screams continued for a long time.

Only when Narcida finally vented her anger did the bruised and battered Rhodes finally escape with his life.

It turns out.

When Nasita said that her divine power was weak, that was in comparison to other gods.

Even a mere mortal like Rhodes could be easily hung up and beaten by her.

But think about it.

If Rod remembers correctly.

Nasita, who claims to have weak divine power, was able to borrow her power from Sumeru City and protect Aru Village from an earthquake that could have destroyed the entire village, even though it was thousands of kilometers away.

Such power is indeed not something that Rhodes can easily provoke.

"Ouch."

"That's really cruel."

Rhodes, who was in pain all over, treated his injuries while grimacing and complaining, "Couldn't you have hit me a little easier?"

"I've already gone easy on you."

Naxi Da chuckled.

Having finally vented her anger, she seemed to be in a good mood.

"You, alas——"

"Forget it, I won't argue with you anymore."

"Hey, start teaching me now."

Rhodes, now fully recovered from his injuries, stretched his legs and then looked at Narcida and said, "I'm strong enough to rescue you, and I can also help you beat up that great sage and vent your anger."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 84 It's you again, Dolly!

Narcida gave Rhodes another leaf.

This one is different from the last one.

The last one was just a pass that Nasita gave to Rhodes out of curiosity, and its validity was limited to the entire city of Sumeru.

This leaf.

Not only does it have the function of entering and exiting Nasita's dream world, but it can also communicate with Nasita's consciousness. Furthermore, with Rhodes's permission, she also attached her own consciousness to it, expanding its usage from Sumeru City to the entire rainforest region plus Aru Village.

In other words, Rhodes can now communicate with Narcida at any time, without having to enter the dream world as before.

That beating wasn't for nothing.

Although it's a bit embarrassing to say this, it certainly wasn't for nothing that I got beaten up.

With this leaf as his support, Rhodes can now do whatever he wants in Sumeru, and at least most people are no match for him.

Anyway, if you encounter someone you can't beat, just summon Nasita to fight for you.

Unless he's recklessly provoking an opponent whose strength has reached the level of a demon god.

But that's impossible.

Putting aside how rare demon god-level experts are, even if Rhodes were to encounter one, he would absolutely not dare to utter a sound; turning tail and running would be the only sensible thing to do.

Besides obtaining a life-saving charm.

The knowledge he had been seeking was also answered by Nasita.

It can only be said that they are indeed gods who can roam the void.

Narcida, the most brilliant test-taker in all of Teyvat, possesses a knowledge base even greater than that of the Order of the Fathers.

Whether it's a question about the strength of elemental forces or about planting and animal husbandry, as long as it doesn't require practical experience to obtain an answer, Nasita can easily provide one if you ask.

After studying with Naxida for two days.

Rod immediately had a feeling.

Before long, he will be able to break through his current bottleneck and achieve a breakthrough in both skill and strength.

The ability to acquire knowledge without leaving home made him want to leave the Order Academy.

However, he quickly dismissed the idea as soon as it arose.

It’s impossible not to go.

He has already agreed to Nasita's request.

They will definitely open the cage that holds her before the Church Council prepares to carry out its god-making plan.

so what.

He not only had to go, but he also had to find a way to break through the defenses of the Church Council and rescue Naxida from the Pure Land Palace.

This task is a bit difficult.

But under Narcida's tutelage, Rhodes remained quite confident.

"How does that song go again?"

"The prison cart bounced and bounced, and the great sage opened his eyes. He dreamed that the Grand Disciplinary Officer was right beside him, punching him left and right. Finally, he was sent to the nightmare to repay his sins."

Thinking of that very popular lyric in his previous life, Rod couldn't help but hum aloud.

What are you singing?

"I'm walking alongside him," Dixia asked, frowning.

She seemed to vaguely hear the words "Great Sage," but she wasn't sure.

After all, Rhodes isn't Teyvat, so the words "Great Sage" shouldn't appear in his songs.

"nothing."

"It was just a funny joke that came to mind."

Rod smiled but offered no explanation.

Today, it was still just him and Dixia at the Grand Bazaar.

Dina Zede's condition has worsened again.

Her condition would worsen every year during the Flower Goddess's birthday festival.

This is also true this year.

Just a few days ago, Rod and the others came to the Grand Bazaar together, eagerly awaiting the Flower Goddess's birthday festival.

But she collapsed again after witnessing the religious leader extorting money from the Zuber Theater in public that day.

And he fell seriously ill and never recovered.

It looks like I'll have to miss the Flower Goddess Festival again this year.

Depressed, her condition worsened, and she lost her appetite.

Dixia couldn't bear to see her friend suffer like this, so she decided to go to the Grand Bazaar to buy some gifts for the Flower Goddess's Birthday to give to Dina Zede and cheer her up.

"The Flower Knight's Yalda Sugar is a must."

“Dina Zede said it before.”

"Without the blessing of the Flower Knight, the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival is incomplete."

"pity."

"She has never been able to fully participate in a single Flora Festival."

Dixia sighed as she walked.
