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

"Thank you."

Rod smiled and nodded, then put the letter of introduction away.

The process was a little bumpy.

Fortunately, I finally got this recommendation.

Current situation.

Just like Tinaly said.

As long as you participate in the open admissions for the Faculty of Education in the second half of the year.

Now, add this letter of recommendation.

His status as a disciple of a sage was practically a done deal.

Don't be fooled by the fact that it's only three updates; it's a genuine 10,000 words!

Chapter 94 Conflict of Educational Philosophies

After obtaining the letter of introduction he wanted, Rod left Zen Garden without waiting for Dolly.

As he expected.

Dolly didn't follow.

How do you know she doesn't absolutely have to be with you?

On the way, Kavi would occasionally look back in the direction of Zen Garden, his eyes full of confusion.

Earlier, when Rod was about to leave without waiting for Dolly, he specifically asked if she wanted him to wait for her.

Rhodes's only reply was: "You can wait for yourself."

Knowing his own abilities very well, Kavi immediately shut his mouth and followed Rod, looking back every few steps.

A while after leaving Zen Garden.

Seeing that Rhodes and Desia were indifferent to the fact that Dolly hadn't come along, they noticed that Rhodes and Desia were both unconcerned about the fact that Dolly hadn't come.

Kavi, who was initially completely confused, suddenly understood.

This isn't about Rhode not taking Dolly with him.

Dolly doesn't need Rhodes at all!!

After figuring this out, the way he looked at Rhodes changed.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Rhodes, who was starting a fire, glanced at Kavi and, in response to his earlier question, asked in return, "You should know Dolly's identity, right?"

"what?"

"What other identity does she have? Isn't she just a very wealthy businesswoman?"

Kavi frowned slightly, wondering if Dolly had some other hidden identity.

Before he could come up with anything, Rhodes added, "Isn't that enough?"

"what?"

Kavi blinked, seemingly not quite understanding.

then.

Then Rod asked again, "Dolly is the richest merchant in Sumeru, isn't that right?"

"Well, I know that."

"That makes it simple. Do you know how many people are openly or secretly coveting her wealth? Do you think someone like that would entrust their safety entirely to me and Dixia when they go out?"

"Uh, that seems to make sense too."

"Remove the word 'seems,' and that's just how it is."

While peeling the tree frogs he had just caught, Rod continued to talk to Kavi: "Big businessmen like her value their lives much more than small fry like us. You think she followed us to cause trouble for me or you? Unfortunately, she probably just thought it was fun and wanted to tease us."

These words left Kavi speechless.

Having no other recourse, he could only go to the side and help gather some firewood.

He just left.

Narcida's voice then echoed in Rhodes's mind: "Is this what you call humanity?"

Rhodes, who was already used to her way of speaking, did not show any unusual expression and continued to say without changing his hand movements: "You could say that. You still have too little contact with humans. Relying solely on Catherine's body and the void, there are many things that are really hard to understand."

"To give a simple example, what do you think Dolly would say if she met you?"

This is a question that Rhodes knows the answer to; now it's up to Narcida to answer it.

another side.

After a moment's thought, Nasita quickly gave her answer: "She would probably say, 'Please pray to the God of Grass that she earns lots of Mora in the future.'"

"wrong!"

I guessed wrong.

Rhodes chuckled, wagged his finger, and then threaded the cleaned tree frog onto a branch. Only after doing this did he give the correct answer: "She will ask you, 'Is the Pure Land Palace for sale? How much Mora?'"

"."

Naxida fell silent.

"Do not believe?"

"Anyway, Dolly will be arriving in Aru Village in a couple of days. How about I ask her for you then?"

From God's perspective, Rod was full of confidence.

The opposite of him.

Nasida, who was indeed not very confident about this, hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, alright."

After all the tree frogs have been coated with seasoning, they are placed on the fire.

Seeing that Nasita hadn't cut off contact, Rod seemed to suddenly remember something and asked on a whim, "You haven't been to the desert much, have you?"

"Ah."

"The people on the other side of the desert don't use Void Terminals, so it's very difficult for me to have the opportunity to observe them."

Nasita readily admitted to it.

"in other words."

"Your consciousness can only extend to places possessing the power of the Grass God or something similar?"

Rhodes roughly understood, and before Nasita could answer, he continued, "If I take this leaf deep into the desert, can your consciousness follow?"

When giving her this leaf, Nasita said that her consciousness and power could cover everything from Sumeru City to Aru Village, but she could not reach any further.

However, Rhodes remembered something: Nasita seemed to have once transmitted her consciousness to an island thousands of kilometers away.

If that's the case.

Does that mean the reason this leaf has a limited range is not because Nasita's power is insufficient, but because the leaf itself cannot withstand it?

Nasita quickly provided an answer to this question.

“My consciousness can travel to the past, but it may not be able to communicate with you as easily as it does now. Moreover, my power cannot be transferred to you unless you can obtain something related to the gods. Otherwise, this ordinary leaf alone cannot bear my power.”

That's really it.

Rhodes thought for a moment and said, "If I bring a void terminal with me, these problems should be solved, right?"

"Well, that's the theory."

"I understand. After I finish the assessment at the Order Academy, I will go to the desert first. You can come with me then."

"it is good."

Naxida agreed to the matter.

three days later.

Rhodes and his companions finally returned to Aru Village.

Before even entering the village, just seeing its outline made Kavi excited. He kept pulling Rod to take him to the house where his father used to live.

"Don't be impatient yet."

"That house is guarded by people in the village. If you go there without explaining your situation, you might get beaten up."

With Rod's strength, there was no way Kavi could pull him.

Then Rod grabbed Kavi's shoulder and dragged him toward his house without saying a word.

Regarding the return of Rhodes and Desia.

If we're talking about who's the happiest...

That would naturally be Cole.

However, as soon as they met, before she even had a chance to unwrap her gifts, she started pouring out her grievances to Rhodes and Desia.

The core issue is that Adbay is far too strict!

Not only do they not give her candy, but they also make her write a lot of words and read a lot of books every day. Even the playtime that Rod used to allow her to play has to be used for studying!

This is exhausting!!

Then she also had to cook for Adbay, who had difficulty using his hands.

What's even more annoying is.

That guy actually said his cooking was terrible!!!

Looking at Ke Lai's aggrieved expression, almost to the point of tears, and then at Adebay, who was still stubbornly arguing, "Just tell me if your grades have improved or not?"

Rod patted Cole's head and laughed, "It's alright, watch me teach him a lesson."
