Chapter 208

"Have you figured out how to deal with the World Tree problem?" Gilgamesh floated in the air and used the chat system attached to the Throne of Heroes to contact Lancermello who was still in Sumi Castle. "What are you going to do with the two Fatui executives?"

"Because we need to solve the problem of the World Tree, we have to celebrate the child's birthday first." Lansermello stopped on the platform in front of the Jingshan Palace and looked at the gate that had been closed for hundreds of years. "I will leave the two executive officers to you for a while - if I am not mistaken, the chief ranger who heard the sound and brought people here should be here soon."

"…This is—"

"It looks like an illegal experiment - except that the scholar leading the experiment this time is a great sage of the Institute of the Church."

When Tinari brought Seno to the place where he heard the sound before, there were only unconscious scholars left at the scene. Seno jumped into the scene, and after confirming that the unconscious scholars were not in danger of life, he first used the void to notify the disciplinary officers to come and arrest the people, and then searched the scene.

"Someone must have been here before we came - the test data and the most critical experimental results were taken away." While waiting for the discipline officers to arrive, Senor raised his head and communicated with Tinari who was standing on the high ground and was responsible for vigilance. "The sound you heard before should be made by them -"

"Lord Dafeng Jiguan!" The first Feng Jiguan to arrive at the scene had a dazed look on his face, as if he had seen something unbelievable. He ignored the scholars lying on the ground and ran to Seno, "In Sumi City... Lord Wumeng Tree King - no, Lord Flower God! Lord Wumeng Tree King said that he came to Sumi at the request of Lord Daci Tree King!!!"

"I'll go directly to Sumi City to check the situation." After confirming that the scene could be handed over directly to the discipline officials, Tinari said hello to Senor and rushed to the towering tree where Sumi City was located. "Flower God... This has already involved the content of the era of the Three Kings' Co-rule. But Lord Wumeng Tree King was clearly found by the great sage of the time five hundred years ago..."

Lansemelo stood at the door of the Pure Palace, with the crowds of people behind her crowded together to see the new grass god's true appearance. After answering Gilgamesh's questions, she took a deep breath, reached out and pushed open the door of the Pure Palace.

The chains and barriers that imprisoned the young god in the center of the Pure Palace dissipated under the power of the Heart of the Grass God. The Paradise Fairy, who once existed as the God of Flowers, walked up to Nashida, who was gradually opening her eyes, holding a staff that was much larger than herself, just like the other two sisters who went over to ring the bell of the pilgrimage.

"Good morning, Narcida. As agreed, I am here to pick you up."

The forest ranger, who was very familiar with the rainforest terrain, rushed to Xumi City as quickly as possible, but found that everyone's face had the same trance as the discipline officer, with a little bit of ecstasy - relying on his sharper hearing than most Xumi people, Tinari extracted the most important information from people's conversations.

——While the Great Sage was away, the Dreamless Tree King gave a public speech at the gate of the Church Order.

Until he walked to the gate of the Church Order Institute while thinking about things, and because his vigilance dropped, he was dragged into the Palace of Wisdom by his junior fellow student who had been waiting at the gate for a long time - Tinari had not yet guessed what the Dreamless Tree King had done in this public speech to make the entire population of Xumi City fall into a trance.

"It's normal that you can't think of it. After all, even Iskander and I didn't expect that Lord Dreamless Tree King... no, Lord Likolis would do this before today." After meeting his most proud disciple, Nafis pulled Tinari into the elevator that led directly to the Great Sage's office. "Lord Likolis and Lord Little Lucky Grass King are waiting for you upstairs."

The elevator went up to the top floor, and Tinari followed Nafis into the office that originally belonged to the Great Sage. He saw the Sage of the Cause Theory School standing next to the three people in the center as a clerk, taking notes. The blue-haired girl seemed to be modifying the void system, but the white-haired girl standing next to her and the adult man in golden armor had no objection to her behavior.

——If Lord Wumeng Tree King is the God of Flowers... the scene in the office now looks like a scene in the distant past when the Red King shared power with the God of Grass and the God of Flowers.

Tinari was shocked by the idea that suddenly popped up in his mind - but he didn't expect that this almost absurd idea could be said to be the truth in many ways.

"Lady Lykolis, I've brought Tinari here." Nafis stood in front of the desk, pushed Tinari in front of him, and interrupted Lansemero's modification of the void system. "Is there anything else I can do?"

"Notify the scholars who are not involved in the Azar project to gather at the Magisterium. Although it has nothing to do with Azar, there may be scholars who do not use the Void Terminal." Lansemero stopped what he was doing and decided on the next task for Nafis. "Ah, it's not that there is any work that requires manpower. It's just that Magistrate Dafeng may need to find everyone to record their statements later, so we need to make some preparations in advance."

"hello."

After Nafis left the office, Nashida smiled and waved to Tinari who was left behind.

"Oh, right." Before Tinari could respond to Nashida, Lansemero reached out and pushed Nashida in front of Tinari. "It just so happens that Tinari is the only one here who has not been assigned extra work. You can take Nashida to check the preparations for the Flower Goddess' Birthday Festival tomorrow."

"Eh? Tomorrow... the Flower Goddess' Birthday?" Tinalli's eyes widened in surprise. "Isn't it still a few months away from the Flower Goddess' Birthday?"

"It's the Flower God's Birthday Ceremony for Little King of the Grasses." Iskander explained to Tinari, who was still confused, "I think Mumeng... Ahem, Lady Likolis is right. In the past, the Flower God's Birthday Ceremony was held on the birthday of Lord Great Mercy Tree King, and had nothing to do with the newborn Grass God. Now is the perfect time to hold the new Flower God's Birthday Ceremony to commemorate the fall of the Great Sage and the official arrival of Little King of the Grasses."

"But I heard that Lord Wumeng Tree King openly claimed that he was the flower god who died thousands of years ago..." Tinali frowned, subconsciously reaching out to hold Nashida, while staring straight at Lansemero who was leaning against the desk, "Can you explain to me what happened in Xumi City from this point on?"

"Although I don't think this is necessary..." Lancer Melo paused, and after confirming that Gilgamesh didn't show any impatience on his face, he answered Tinari's question, "But if you want to know, the flower goddess Nabu did die thousands of years ago. You can call the person standing here the Dreamless Tree King, or you can call her Likolis."

"That……"

"The 'Flower God' is indeed dead, just like the 'Grass God' also experienced death." Nashida handed the Heart of the Grass God to Lansemelo and added, "Lykolis is indeed the same being as the 'Flower God', but the 'Flower God' has passed away - so now she is just Lykolis. As for other aspects..."

"Most of the speech was a reasonable fabrication based on facts." Lansemero explained the true situation of the speech. "The Great Compassionate Tree King did not ask me to take care of Xumi, nor did he ask me to teach her successor - but the Great Compassionate Tree King did try to let me live until now in order for me to do these things."

"It's just that I didn't know anything at first - until the moment I saw Nashida in my arms five hundred years ago." Lansemero took the Heart of the Grass God and smiled at Nashida. "You have almost always stayed in the Jingshan Palace for the past five hundred years - just look around and see if there is anything you want. I will ask someone to find a way to prepare it for tomorrow's ceremony."

"…But why do the teacher and the wise Iskander no longer call you 'Lord Dreamless Tree King'?" Tinari asked Lansermello, stroking his chin.

"Well, that's my personal request." Lansemero cleared his throat and turned away from Tinari's sight. "After all, it's the time of the Little Auspicious Grass King 'Nashida', so it's naturally time for me, the 'Dreamless Tree King', to leave the stage. Although because of Azar's problem, the time for Nashida to take over Xumi has been slightly advanced, but if I only appear as a god, it's still enough for the time being."

"temporary……?"

"Because the policies of the wise men change, the time of contact between me and Likolis is uncertain." Nashida tilted her head to Tinari, holding the ranger's hand and walking out, explaining, "According to her education policy, I have only learned the content of applying common sense. Although I know what knowledge is needed to manage a country, I don't know how to apply this knowledge now."

"For her, it is not the right time for me to take over the management of Sumi."

After Tinari and Nashida left, Gilgamesh handed the pile of paper documents and the semi-finished artificial god shrunk by magic that he had taken away from the experimental site to Lancermello, and then he turned into a blue spirit and disappeared into the air. Lancermello picked up the pile of documents and quickly looked through his memory. Finally, he managed to memorize all the contents in his mind before Officer Gale broke into the office.

At the same time that Lansemelo put down the stack of information, Senna and the discipline officer broke into the office.

"I'm here." Lansemero, who had been sitting on the table, stood up again, put down the paper documents in his hand, and raised his hands under the gaze of the disciplinary officers. "If you are here to search for evidence in the Azar office, please do as you please - as for the other contents..."

"I think Magistrate Dafeng should remember to arrange for someone to notify me to be questioned in the next period of time, right?"

"...This is a necessary procedure." Senor brushed past Lansemero who was leaving the office with Iskander, and answered Lansemero's question seriously, "Also, because this case involves too many areas, all scholars in the entire Magisterium will be questioned by the Disciplinary Officer next."

"I knew it would be like this. All the scholars who are not involved in the Azar project are now rushing to the Palace of Wisdom. I hope you can finish this part of the work as soon as possible." Lansemero walked into the elevator and turned his back to the disciplinary officers in the office. "Tomorrow is the Flower God Birthday of the Little Lucky Grass King. I think... no one would be willing to miss the event where the Little Lucky Grass King makes his first official appearance."
