He had already gone blind as soon as he arrived in Genshin Impact.

After all, all he needed to do was know the location; the rest was up to Dali to pull off a miracle.

Having made the decision, Wu Di went outside the room, intending to scout out the location first, and then set off late at night when it was quiet.

Next, Wu Di acted like a traveler from afar, stopping and starting along the way, but gradually getting closer to the location of "Jingshan Palace".

For some reason, Wu Di felt a strange sense of excitement at this moment, as if he were carrying out some important mission.

This is similar to the plot of the novels I read in Inazuma: scouting, confirming the target's location, then a tense and exciting infiltration, finally rescuing the key figure, leaving gracefully, and keeping the good deeds hidden.

The more Wu Di thought about it, the more excited he became. This was a strange feeling he had never experienced before, so he began to get quite excited.

Following the network of roads, Wu Di gradually arrived at the area of ​​"Jingshan Palace" and could already see the guards on guard.

There seemed to be quite a lot of people, so Wu Di carefully avoided the pedestrians, then used the vines generated by the grass element to reach a higher place and secretly observe.

Using the cover of the leaves, Wu Di observed the guards' routine for a period of time and discovered that they changed guards every hour and patrolled every half hour.

This is the pattern in the morning, but what about at night? Wu Di became curious. Is it the same at night?

At this point, Wu Di had already treated this infiltration operation as an experience.

Experience the plot of the novel that Inazuma was reading at the time, and experience the protagonist's psychology and actions.

Therefore, he was already somewhat enjoying it.

Wu Di then moved to a different position to confirm the infiltration route for tonight from multiple angles.

After observing, Wu Di discovered that there were no guards at the gate of "Jingshan Palace". Was the gate closed? That's why the guards were so at ease.

He started to think. If that was really the case, then he would need to make a "big commotion" that night.

If necessary, knocking out all the guards is also a good option.

But as Wu Di was thinking, a soft voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Hello."

Chapter 184 She didn't want to

All I can say is that this "hello" scared Wu Di out of his wits. When did this person appear next to him? It also gave him a feeling of "dying before he even got started".

He quickly looked behind him and saw a petite girl with a leaf-shaped ornament on her ear and a four-leaf clover and heart ornament on her head.

The little girl, dressed in white and green, was squatting on the vines woven from grass, just like him.

Her innocent and curious gaze pierced Wu Di's heart, giving him a sudden feeling of death.

"I'm sorry, thief, I startled you."

"But if you're thinking of stealing something, there's nothing to steal here."

"Furthermore, stealing is a bad behavior, please don't do it anymore."

The girl's words were like sharp swords, inflicting further wounds on Wu Di's already injured heart, which was already damaged by the sudden death of his friend.

It hurts, it hurts too much.

The little girl's innocent words left Wu Di momentarily speechless, but he felt he should explain, so he lowered his voice and spoke in a friendly manner.

"Hello little guy, first of all, I'm not a thief, and I'm not here to steal anything."

"I'm here because I need to confirm something."

Upon hearing this, the little girl nodded slightly, but there were some things she wanted to correct.

“You can call me Naxida, this is my home.”

In that instant, Wu Di realized something. He looked at Nasita in front of him and tentatively spoke.

"This is your home? So you're... the Little Lucky Grass King?"

"Yes, I am the Little Lucky Grass King."

When Wu Di probed her, Naxida didn't hide anything and simply revealed her identity.

"Oh, this."

Upon hearing the little girl's identity, Wu Di was somewhat bewildered. He had assumed that the Little Lucky Grass King was imprisoned, but the little girl appeared before him so easily.

This doesn't feel like being imprisoned at all.

But then I thought, since the person in question wasn't imprisoned, I could use her to get to the World Tree.

He immediately explained his purpose, stating that he needed to go to the World Tree and took out the token that Zhongli had given him before he set off.

Narcida was momentarily stunned by the Rock God's token in the man's hand and his words.

She did not accept the token of the Rock God from Wu Di's hand, and instead showed a troubled expression before speaking.

"I'm sorry, I can't help you right now."

"Because the me before you now is merely a phantom that can communicate with you through the 'void'."

"The real me is being imprisoned in the 'Jingshan Palace'."

As Nasida reached out to touch Wu Di, their hands passed right through each other, proving the truth of her words.

However, this had no impact on Wu Di, because in the end, he had returned to his original goal.

Rescue the imprisoned Little Lucky Grass King, and then, with her help, travel to the World Tree.

Therefore, Wu Di told Nasita that he could rescue her, but in exchange, she had to help him get to the World Tree.

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope welled up in Nasita's heart, but it quickly vanished.

Because as a god, even if she successfully left, she would not have the power to change everything, and the heart of the god is no longer with her.

pitiful, weak, and helpless.jpg

Without choosing to hide anything, Nasida told Wu Di about her current situation and the distance between them.

Five hundred years ago, the Church brought Nasita back to Sumeru and named her "Little Auspicious Grass King".

However, the successor, the "Little Auspicious Grass King," possessed only the wisdom of a child, greatly disappointing the sages who believed in the wisdom of the "Great Compassion Tree King."

Furthermore, the removal of its divine heart to maintain the operation of the Void Terminal resulted in the "Little Lucky Grass King" lacking the power of a god.

Therefore, neither the Order of the Church nor most of the Sumerians influenced by the Order of the Church paid much attention to her existence, and never regarded her as a deity.

The "Little Auspicious Grass King" lives deep within the Jing Shan Palace and has never been valued or mentioned.

She tirelessly studied all kinds of knowledge, just to grow into a qualified deity as quickly as possible and begin guiding the people as soon as possible.

But it was still to no avail.

After listening to Nasita's story and seeing the undisguised disappointment on her face, Wu Di felt that he should help this poor deity and spoke softly.

"If I possessed the power to change everything, would you be willing to change it?"

"..."

At that moment, Nasita was stunned. She could feel the genuine confidence in the person in front of her when he said those words.

It was as if the person in front of me truly possessed the power to change everything.

Seeing that the little girl in front of him was a bit stunned, Wu Di took off the fox mask from his face to show his sincerity.

Then he extended his hand, waiting for Nasita's reply.

The person in front of me was exceptionally beautiful; even through the "void," no one could match him.

But what deeply attracted Nasita was that she could hear the boy's inner thoughts.

I want to help this newborn god.

His thoughts were simple and pure, and the boy had already made it clear what price he would have to pay for them, before leading him to the World Tree.

Although Nasita didn't know why the boy in front of her was going to the World Tree.

But she knew that this was a great opportunity, and it was right in front of her, and she should seize it.

Moreover, when the boy said he wanted to help her, she could feel the power within him that was enough to overturn the world.

He wasn't lying.

He really can help himself.

At this moment, Nasita slowly raised her little hand, but only hesitated in front of herself, without making a decision.

Because Nasita didn't know what to do after she escaped.

Is it to overthrow the Council of the Church? Or to accuse the Great Sage of imprisoning him?

But none of this was what he wanted, because both the people of Sumeru and he himself were looking forward to the return of the Great Compassion Tree King.

Therefore, Nasita did not want to be enemies with the people of Sumeru.

She didn't want to.

When Naxida was in distress, Wu Di spoke up.

"If you can't make up your mind right now, you can think about it for a while longer."

"And during this time, I will wait for your reply in Sumeru City."

Chapter 185 This is something family members must do.

The calm voice brought Narcida back to her senses. She looked at the boy in front of her; there was no impatience on his face, and he was even considering her feelings.

A sense of guilt arose deep within Nasita's heart. The boy in front of her was helping her without reservation, yet she couldn't reciprocate immediately.

"I'm sorry, I can't make a decision right now. Please give me some time, and I will give you an answer."

Seeing the dilemma on Nasita's face, Wu Di knew that this sudden opportunity still prevented her from making a decision immediately.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that they weren't prepared for what they should do after escaping from captivity.

But Wu Di believes there is still enough time for him to wait for Nasida's response.

When they parted, Nasida mentioned that a festival called "Flower Goddess's Birthday" was going to be held in Xumi soon, and Wu Di could take this opportunity to enjoy the local customs and culture.

Wu Di did not refuse, since he was free anyway, so he might as well enjoy the local festival and see how it differed from those in Liyue and Inazuma.
