This MC is so original

Nashida squatted down, scooped up a handful of lake water with both hands, and presented it to Lu Xiu. She said softly, "This is the 'remains' of the water god."

"water?"

Lu Xiu wanted to deny it at first, but then he thought that it was not so difficult to accept that the water god turned into water after death, but he was still curious.

"Why is this happening?"

Nashida looked at the clear water in her hand, pursed her lips, and said bitterly, "In the memories I have, Sumeru was ravaged by the Red King's research into forbidden knowledge. In the end, Heaven sent down the Frost Sky Nail to suppress this forbidden knowledge. This also destroyed Sumeru's terrain, causing many large cracks to appear."

"Despite the intervention of Heaven, forbidden knowledge is like a maggot on the tarsal bone that is difficult to eradicate. For unknown reasons, the power left by the previous Water God and the Flower God transformed into a sea of ​​nectar flowers. Because of this power, stability has returned to this area of ​​Xumi."

Lu Xiu couldn't help but sigh: "Xumeru is really full of disasters..."

Nashida nodded silently: "Yes, but I believe that as long as the World Tree is healed, everything will be fine."

While the two were chatting, Lottia and Yandora also completed their pilgrimage. They each scooped up a pool of clear water and absorbed it into their bodies, then returned to Lu Xiu together.

"Have you guys finished your business?"

Lottie nodded somewhat dejectedly. "Well, one day I will return to Fontaine with this last pool of clear water left by the Lord Water God and overthrow the current Water God!"

Seeing Lodia's determined expression, Lu Xiu couldn't help but grumble, "Why do I always end up with restless individuals in my team? First, Osel wanted to beat up Morax, and now you want to overthrow the current Water God... I suddenly feel like it's a shame to leave Apep out. After all, she's not one to sit still either."

"Really? It's not too late to regret now!"

Suddenly, a small green snake flew to Lu Xiu's ear and whispered something.

Lu Xiu grabbed Apep almost reflexively and threw him out with force.

Apep crashed straight into the Ender Dragon, then slowly fell down limply.

"How disrespectful! How dare you, human, treat a Dragon King like this!"

Apep wrapped himself around the Ender Dragon's neck, raised his head and glared at Lu Xiu.

"Why are you following me?" Lu Xiu felt a little overwhelmed when he saw that Apep had followed him. He felt that it would be troublesome to bring this guy along.

"Hmph! There's a saying among you humans: the rice has been cooked! The Ender Dragon has sucked away all my forbidden knowledge, so it must be responsible for me!"

As she spoke, Apep rubbed the Ender Dragon with her head. The Ender Dragon just opened its eyes, glanced at her, and then closed its eyes again to rest.

"Anyway, no matter what, I'm relying on you!"

After saying that, Apep wrapped herself tightly around the Ender Dragon's neck, fearing that someone would pull her off.

Lucius originally wanted to pull this annoying thing off and throw it away, but Nashida stopped him.

"Lu Xiu, wait."

"What's wrong, Nashida? Didn't you oppose her joining before?"

"No, I've thought about it again. It's not without benefit for her to stay. If you really meet the will of heaven in the future, perhaps you can hand her over to him in exchange for some benefits."

Lu Xiu thought about it carefully and realized that this was indeed the case. Tianli and the Seven Dragon Kings were mortal enemies, and he could get some benefits in return by handing over a Grass Dragon King.

"Well, that makes sense. Let's keep her for now."

"Hey, human, why are you so treacherous!" Apep's dissatisfied voice came, but Lu Xiu chose to ignore it.

"Lottia, Yandora, now that you've finished your business, we should prepare to return to Xumi City and confront the scattered soldiers. I think he's getting impatient."

Lottie nodded: "It's all up to you, boss, to decide."

"Well, then let's set off back to Xumi City. It's time to let that brat Sanbing know what the cruelty of adults is."

Chapter 272: Spiritual Fragrance

"Nilu, when do you think Dishia and the others will come back?"

Dina Zedai was sitting at a round table, holding a cup of hot tea that had already gone cold. Nilu, who was sitting opposite her, was also holding a cup of tea that had already gone cold.

"Dina Zedai, didn't you say Dishia is very powerful? So you have to trust them. And until now, there has been no news from the Church of the Lords that the wanted criminals have been arrested. Doesn't this prove that they are safe now? So don't worry, everything will be fine."

Dina Zedai sighed softly. She understood this in her heart, but as long as she didn't see Dixia standing safely in front of her with her own eyes, she couldn't help but worry.

Seeing that Dina Zedai was still sighing, Nilu felt helpless. She was also worried about Lu Xiu and the others. How could she comfort Dina Zedai?

"Residents of the Grand Bazaar, please come out and gather in the square. The House of Worship has an important announcement to make!"

The sudden shouting outside the house brought the two girls back to reality from their worries. They looked at each other in confusion, and then a look of worry appeared on their faces at the same time.

"The Order of the Lords... they suddenly came here at this time. Could it be something to do with Dixia and the others?"

"Dina Zedai, don't panic. It might be something else. Let's go out and take a look."

The two girls hurriedly got up and went out, following the instructions of the shouting to come to the central square. The place was already full of people, and several scholars and disciplinary officers from the Academy of Ecclesiastical Affairs were standing on the stage originally used for performances. Behind them were several large cardboard boxes piled up, and no one knew what was inside.

The scholar standing at the front estimated the crowd that had gathered, and when he saw that the number was about the same, he began to tell the story of their trip.

"Dear residents of the Grand Bazaar, the dead zone of Daocheng Forest is expanding quite rapidly today, and even the air is somewhat polluted. We at the Order House are concerned about your health, so the Great Sage has specially asked us to bring you a special phenol incense to purify the air. Even those who are allergic to the ingredients in phenol incense don't have to worry, as it is specially made so you won't experience any allergic symptoms!"

Hearing that the scholar on the stage only came to the Grand Bazaar because of the Dead Zone, Nilu and Dina Zedai in the crowd couldn't help but pat their chests and breathe a sigh of relief. As long as it was not related to Dixia and the others, it was fine.

However, doubts soon arose in their minds. If they remembered correctly, the phenol incense was a special spice used by scholars of the Academy of Teachings when they were meditating and practicing. First of all, not only was it expensive, but this phenol incense could only assist scholars in their meditation and practice. Why would it be used in the expansion of the Dead Zone?

Or is it that the effect of the special phenol incense made by the Ministry of Education is different from the previous phenol incense?

While the two girls were still thinking about this question, the scholar on the stage began to enthusiastically organize the residents of the Grand Bazaar to line up to receive this special phenol incense.

At first, the residents of the Grand Bazaar were reluctant to come forward to receive the gifts because of the Fatma's artistic ban on them. But when the leading scholar cried and complained,

"My fellow countrymen, the Great Sage has understood your thoughts on art and the Flower Goddess' Birthday Festival and has decided to lift the art ban. Furthermore, these spiritual incense sticks are specially given to you free of charge by the Great Sage as compensation. Xumi people do not deceive Xumi people!"

As these words fell, some residents finally stepped forward without restraint. The scholar immediately asked someone to take out two boxes of phenol incense from the cardboard box at the back and handed them to the resident, and sincerely advised him to take care of his health.

Apart from that, nothing was asked of this resident, which made the other residents feel relieved and rushed forward to receive their gifts.

"Everyone, don't crowd. Be careful. There's something for everyone. The Ordinance House has already counted the number of people. Everyone can get something. Don't crowd. If you get hurt, it won't be worth it!"

Under the scholars' ultimate move called "sincerity", all the residents lined up and received the phenol incense in turn.

Except for Nilu and Dina Zedai, who were standing outside the team and looking at the crowd, they were a little overwhelmed.

The scholar on the stage who was in charge of supervising the residents queuing up immediately noticed the two beautiful girls standing outside the line who were extremely conspicuous, and immediately walked over with four boxes of Lingphenol Incense.

"You two, this is a matter of great importance to your health, so you must not be careless. Here are four boxes!"

Faced with such a polite scholar, Nilu and Dinazedai didn't know how to refuse politely even though they were still afraid of the House of Lords.

Finally, under the extremely expectant gaze of the scholars, Dina Zedai reached out and took the four boxes of phenol incense.

"Thank you."

"Hey, you're welcome, it's my duty!"

The scholar gave them a few more instructions on how to use the device and then went back to continue supervising the residents queuing.

Holding the four boxes of phenol incense, Dina Zedai looked at Nilu beside her and asked in a bewildered manner, "Nilu, what should we do?"

Nilu took a look at the four boxes of phenol incense in Dinazedai's hands. The outer packaging was very rough, as if it was made in a hurry, which was indeed in line with the emergency situation mentioned by the Ministry of Education.

But they still remember what the Ministry of Education did before. As the saying goes, a dog will always eat shit.

Only a few days had passed, and she didn't quite believe that the great sage would suddenly change into a completely different person in just a few days.

"Let's go back first. This is not the place to talk."

"Ah."

The two returned to Nilu's residence with four boxes of phenol incense. As soon as they got back, Dina Zedai put the phenol incense on the table and opened it. There were four bottles of phenol incense in one box.

Nilu took out one of the bottles, opened the bottle, and carefully fanned the bottle mouth with her palm. Then she sniffed it and was a little surprised.

"It does smell like phenol, but this box contains four bottles, two boxes per person. That's a hefty sum. If it's really as the great sage said, he'll probably have to distribute it to everyone in Xumi City. That's an astronomical sum! He's squandering the assets of the Ministry of Education like this. Will the scholars there stop spending money on research in the future?"

Being too generous only deepened the suspicion in the hearts of Nilu and Dina Zede.

"So what should we do? Should we use it? Or not?"

Nilu thought for a moment and then shook her head.

"Let's wait and see what happens for a while. We don't know if it's really as the Council of Magistrates said. What if they pull some tricks again? If we act rashly, won't we fall into their trap again?"

"Well, you're right."

Chapter 273 The streets are very quiet today

"Sanbing, I have distributed all the special phenol incense as you asked. I hope you won't let me down."

In the underground research institute of the House of Lords, Azar looked at the scattered soldier in front of him who had his back to him and was facing the God of Righteousness, and told him coldly about the spiritual phenol incense.

The skirmisher turned around with his hands behind his back, a very bright look of disillusionment on his face.

"Thank you for your hard work, Hazard. Please believe me, I will never let you down."

For some reason, seeing the brilliant dissolution of the Skirmishers, Azar felt a wave of discomfort. He frowned and asked, "Why do you want me to distribute these spirit phenol incense?"

The soldier smiled and did not answer immediately. Instead, he raised his hand and pointed at himself, tapping his chest.

"Azar, what else do you think a qualified god needs besides unparalleled wisdom and power?"

Hazard gave the answer after a little thought.

"believer."

"Yes."

The soldier looked at him approvingly, then turned to the God of Righteousness, opened his arms, and the bright smile on his face gradually became a little crazy.

"I have already set foot on the ladder to godhood, but if no believers congratulate me after I become a god, wouldn't that be a real disappointment? Therefore, I need to use these spiritual incense to make the people of Xumi believe in me!"

Hazard felt something was wrong, but he didn't think there was any problem.

He needs to make Sanbing the new god of Xumi, and use the wisdom and power of the new god to save the world tree. As the new god of Xumi, he naturally needs to gain the faith of the people of Xumi, which is understandable.

But why do I feel a little uneasy?

After making his remarks, the soldier turned around and saw that Hazard's expression was a little off. He raised his eyebrows and returned to his original bright smile.

"Azar, when I become a god, I will announce it to the world and tell them that it was you who helped me become a god and saved the World Tree. Then you will become the greatest scholar in Teyvat, unprecedented and unrivaled! Our plan will never fail!"

The doubts in Hazard's heart were immediately crushed by the beautiful blueprint painted by the soldier, and a smile appeared on his face again.

"Well, I believe you, Skirmisher."

The soldier nodded in satisfaction, and then solemnly instructed, "Now we are just one step away from success. I will soon become the new god, but we still need to be careful of that guy Lu Xiu! We must not let him ruin our plan at this most critical moment!"

"When necessary, some extraordinary measures can be taken."

The soldier raised his finger and tapped the void terminal that was temporarily worn on his ear to transmit canned knowledge.

Azar immediately understood what the skirmisher meant, but he was still a little hesitant.

The skirmisher then added.

"Hazard! This is a necessary sacrifice! As long as our plan succeeds, no one will know about this!"

"Hey, I get it."

--------------

In a small village outside Xumi City, Seno stood at the entrance of the village and looked towards the direction of Xumi City with a telescope. He looked for a while before putting down the telescope.

Tinari beside him quickly asked, "What's the situation?"

Sino shook his head: "It's too far away, I can't see clearly."

Tinari's original expectation was immediately destroyed, and he rolled his eyes at Seno in annoyance.

I couldn’t see clearly, and this guy was staring at that place with a telescope for most of the day!

"Hey, you two are here, shouldn't we go into the city? If we're any later, who knows what will happen in the city."

Dishia came over and suggested to Seno and Tinari to go into the city quickly. She herself was also worried about the safety of Dinazedai who was left in the city.

Seno immediately shook his head and refused.

"That's not right. Lu Xiu hasn't joined us yet, and we don't know the situation in the city yet. We have to prepare for the worst-case scenario."

Tinari continued, "The worst-case scenario is that the Skirmishers have become gods and are waiting for us in the city. Without Lu Xiu, it would be difficult for us to fight them."
