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

Kavi, who was feeling a bit dizzy from the alcohol, didn't immediately recognize the person as the diner whose seat he had taken earlier that day.

Rod carefully examined the unkempt and disheveled young man in front of him and couldn't help but shake his head.

I'm so depressed.

This mental state is not easy to handle.

However, we still have to say something; we can't just stop talking to him because he's down.

“Mr. Kavi, given your current condition, I don’t even know how to bring up the topic of hiring you.”

Hear this.

Kavi, who had been a little dazed, became much more alert, but still asked with a slightly slurred tongue, "You, you want to hire me?"

"Ah."

Rhodes nodded and said, "Name your price."

"?"

Upon hearing this, Kavi's drunkenness vanished, replaced by a smile: "Friend, you're an amateur, aren't you?"

"Indeed, I'm a student-oriented person. Farming is my forte, but I'm not good at architecture."

Rod readily admitted it, then added, "I'd like to hire you to go to Aru Village. What do you say? Are you interested?"

"Aru Village?"

Upon hearing the name, Kavi paused slightly.

Isn't this the village in the desert?

Having never received a desert order before, Kavi asked in bewilderment, "What do you want to do with me?"

"a lot of."

“Build libraries, schools, hospitals, dams, bridges, roads, and so on.”

As the only major town in the desert, Aru Village, which is able to achieve peace, lacks a lot of infrastructure, or rather, it has virtually no decent infrastructure.

This is also the thing that Rhodes and Nasita mentioned most often when talking about Aru Village.

There are many reasons for this problem.

The harsh natural environment is one aspect.

The Order of the Fathers, regardless of the other side.

Another reason is that Aru Village cannot afford to repair it itself.

The desert dwellers' unwillingness to change their long-standing lifestyle is also a factor.

Anyway, a lot of factors came together.

This ultimately led to the current situation in Aru Village, where it has nothing to offer except peace.

The only good news right now.

Thanks to Rhodes' experiment of replacing Fertile Soil with grass slime, the problem of soil erosion can now be largely solved.

In addition, there are new drought-resistant economic crops that Nasita simulated in her dream world.

In a few days, when Rhodes returns with these experimental reports, the village of Aru's dependence on the bounty of fertility will hopefully become a thing of the past.

As for animal husbandry...

We still need to wait until Dolly breeds the featherless chickens before we can buy suitable chicks. Other livestock will also have to wait, so these are all things to be discussed later and there's no need to rush for now.

the other side.

Kavi didn't seem very happy with what Rod had said.

"Why don't you just tell me to build a new Aru Village?"

"Friend, if you have nothing else to say, please don't bother me."

He finished speaking in a rather irritable tone.

Kavi ignored Rod and started pouring himself more drinks.

To build infrastructure in a region.

This is not something you can joke about with just a few words.

Like the hospital Rod mentioned.

It's not that this thing can't be built.

However, the doctors, nurses, medical facilities, and other necessities that accompany a hospital cannot be explained in just a few words.

Although the Church of Jesus in the desert doesn't really care, the desert people can do whatever they want.

However, without the guidance of the Order of the Church, it would be impossible to gather all these supporting facilities.

And if this matter is approved by the Religious Council.

The people who should be talking to him shouldn't be Rod, but the village chief of Aru Village and the religious officer of the Religious Council, and they should come to him with various documents from the Religious Council.

Rhodes has nothing now.

He opened his mouth and asked me to design and build the entire infrastructure of Aru Village.

Kavi naturally assumed that he was just there to amuse himself.

His performance was exactly what Rhodes and Narcida had expected, so Rhodes took out a densely drawn drawing and handed it to them: "Here, take a look at this."

No one knew the procedures of the Church of Christ better than Narcida.

Based on her understanding of the Instruction Council, if the normal procedures were followed, the Instruction Council officers would definitely use delaying tactics to indefinitely postpone Aru Village's application for infrastructure facilities, ultimately forcing Aru Village to give up on its own.

Therefore, some necessary measures still need to be adopted.

have to say.

Having emerged from her autism, Narcida was noticeably more decisive than when she first met Rhodes.

In addition to what the Church did to her.

She now feels not only disappointed in the Order of the Fathers, but also has absolutely no trust in it.

This was a necessary measure that would allow Kavi to give up questioning the Church's stance.

It was what Rod handed to him.

initial.

Kavi paid no attention to the pile of blueprints that Rod had brought out.

He only glanced at it out of respect for Rhodes.

The result was quite surprising.

These textbook-perfect drawings captivated Kavi, making it impossible for him to look away.

My mind, which had been foggy from being drunk, was now completely clear.

"This, this is."

Who drew this?

"Whose masterpiece is this?"

Kavi couldn't contain his excitement and handled the drawings with the utmost care, as if they were precious treasures, afraid that he might accidentally damage them in his excitement.

"I drew it."

Rod is shameless; he can lie without even blinking.

"you?"

Kavi was stunned for a long time, then he rubbed his eyes hard and stared intently at Rod's face, while his mind quickly searched for the great architects he knew and their disciples.

No matter how hard he tried to recall, it didn't work.

He just couldn't remember where he had seen Rod before.

Considering Rod's earlier statement that he studied the bio-theory school, Kavi decisively concluded: "Since you've already hired such a skilled architect, don't joke around with me. I know my own level very well; I'm definitely no match for the master who drew your blueprints. Since you can hire him, you don't need me."

Say it.

Without hesitation, he returned the blueprints in his hand.

"Sigh, I told you it was me, why won't you believe me?"

Rod sighed, dipped his finger in the wine, and began to draw directly on the table.

Just a few strokes.

He then wrote out several commonly used architectural formulas one by one.

"That doesn't mean anything."

It's just a few general formulas; they can't fool Kavier.

Rhodes's response was to simply spread out the blueprints, apply the formulas written on the table, and continue calculating.

"."

The more Kavi looked at it, the more something seemed off.

What's the deal with this guy who claims to be a proponent of life?

Whose student of the Shenglun school is so proficient in the knowledge of the Miaolun school?

Although what Rhodes wrote down were the simplest formulas, Kavi could even calculate them mentally without paper and pen.

But this also indirectly proves it.

Rhodes did indeed understand the knowledge of the Mystic School.

And next.

When Rod started explaining the contents of the blueprints, and it was completely correct, Kavi was utterly dumbfounded.

"You, you're really a student-oriented person?"

"Kavi asked incredulously."
