Chapter 213

"So, our new Great Sage has been in office for less than a month and you just walked away and left everything alone?" In the Jingshan Palace, Alhaisen, who was informed by the God of Grass that he had been promoted again within just one month after becoming the temporary sage of the Knowledge Theory School, acted very picky in front of Nashida, "At least you all have no objection to her becoming the Great Sage--"

"You should know about Liyue's 'contract', right?" Nashida raised her head and patiently explained to Elhaisen the reason why Lancer-Mero left Sumi. "In order for her to stay until five hundred years ago to help me regain control of Sumi after forgetting everything and losing all my power, the two of us signed a 'contract'."

"According to the terms of the 'contract', she will stay in Sumire until 'all necessary issues are resolved'."

"...In other words, this contract is now complete." Elhaisen quickly understood what Nashida meant, and his slightly aggressive aura was retracted. "Then why am I the acting Great Sage? Nafis and Iskander should be higher in the selection order than a temporary Sage like me, right?"

"In fact, it was her own nomination." Nashida sat on the swing made of elemental power, looked up and smiled at Elhaisen standing in front of her, "Although she has left Sumi City now, she is still the nominal Great Sage - so, in order to ensure the stability of Sumi City, she discussed with me the management arrangements for Sumi before she resigned."

The night before, Nashida waited for Lansemelo to say goodbye to her in the garden connecting the Palace of Purity and the Ordinance House.

"I'm leaving here." Lansemero leaned on the railing of the garden with his back to Narsida. "Although I can't go back yet, I have stayed in Sumi long enough - I plan to see the scenery of other countries before returning. I have done so much for you, you won't even approve my vacation application, right?"

"You know that's not what I meant." Nashida sighed helplessly and looked at Lansemello. "I just want to ask, have you figured out how to explain this to everyone in Sumi?"

"Isn't that your job?" Lansemero turned around and raised his eyebrows at Nashida in surprise, "I have already chosen someone to take over the job of the Great Sage..."

"So what do you think I should use to explain why the current Great Sage left Sumi less than a month after taking office?" Nashida walked to Lansemello's side and looked at her helplessly. "I can't say that the Disciplinary Officer also found research content that violated the decree in the new Great Sage, right?"

"I thought you would come up with something more down-to-earth."

"What reason could be more realistic than this in the present Sumire?"

“…You are right.”

In the end, it was Lancermello who chose to surrender first in this secret confrontation.

"Then just say it's a business trip." Lansemello thought for a moment and decisively chose the reason that would be most beneficial to him. "This way, my appointment as agent will be more legitimate - and it will also be convenient for me to go to places that ordinary tourists can't go to... Just kidding. My next destination is Maple Dan, and you can tell them that I'm going to learn about the advanced experience of the Kingdom of Justice and Law."

"After all, although the political system of Sumi is the result of natural evolution in Sumi's history, it is not suitable for a country. This system can appear anywhere, but it should not be a country. Even if gods exist, the power of scholars is a bit too great."

When Lancermello left Sumi Castle, the blond traveler and his guide once again returned to the Narugami Taisha Shrine in Inazuma.

"As for the next stop on the journey..." The pink-haired fox fairy introduced the traveler with a smile, "If we start from Inazuma, it will be more convenient to go to Sumi."

"We have met many scholars from Sumi along the way." The traveler asked the fox fairy, "What kind of country is Sumi?"

"Sume is the kingdom of the God of Wisdom. Their pursuit of wisdom and knowledge is endless. But this obsession sometimes leads to some puzzling things, such as..." The fox fairy spread her hands and slowly gave the traveler an example, "In Xumi, knowledge is managed as a kind of 'resource'."

"Knowledge... is also a resource?" The guide floating in the air tilted his head in confusion.

"Well, I just don't know whether it was those 'sages' or the 'Dreamless Tree King' who made this decision."

"Wumeng...Tree King?"

"You have met many Sumi scholars. I think you should know why they are so proud in front of people from other countries, right?"

"Sumitras don't dream," the traveler replied.

"That's right. They claim that the 'Dreamless Tree King' is the Sumire who took away those absurd dreams that represent ignorance..." The fox fairy chuckled at this point, "So they call their god the 'Dreamless Tree King' - you also have something to confirm with her, right? I wish you all the best."

Meanwhile, Kirshtalia successfully boarded the ship to Sumi at the island pier.

"The area of ​​Sumi is still a bit too large. If I want to finish the thesis within the limited time, I must first decide whether to focus on the rainforest or the desert." After finding a seat on the boat, Kirshtalia began to think about his second thesis, "But Inazuma's thesis is already based on ancient culture, so it would be better to change the direction for the second thesis..."

"As for Sumi... I got it. Let's just write to the Ministry of Religion. That way, I can go to both the rain forest and the desert, and I can also confirm the route to Maple Dan with the Lord." Kirshtalia calculated her Mora balance and sighed deeply, "I only saved the money to go to Sumi... Never mind. I'm not incapable of sailing if I want to."

"Isn't the range of your Chaldean protector's skills a bit too broad?" Tetrot complained.

"It's good to have many skills." Kirshtalia smiled bitterly, "If you knew where Ritsuka's spirit child had been transferred to in the past, you wouldn't think that Lord and his team are looking for trouble by forcing everyone to learn so many skills. After all, learning one more skill means one more chance of surviving in an unfamiliar environment."

"Didn't you say you were just out for fun? How come you've got so many things to do in one night?" After making sure that he wouldn't have to fight again, Gilgamesh switched from Archer to Caster, which Lancermello was more familiar with. "There's no port from Sumi to Maple in the desert."

"After all, we have already promised, so we have to do the initial work well." Lansemero smiled, watching the sun sink below the horizon and pass through the windbreak into the desert. "First, we have to find a way to spread the void to various gathering places in the desert - but now you are here, King Gilgamesh."

"You really know how to make the best use of things." Gilgamesh sneered, "You announced in public that you are the God of Flowers - why, now you want to confirm the resurrection of the Red King?"

"Even if your divinity has always been B, King Gilgamesh, I can see that there are other things mixed in, right?" Lansemello raised his eyebrows and looked up at Gilgamesh. "Besides, the rewards of each world are registered in the database. In addition to providing us with a considerable amount of magic power, didn't the heavenly law that directly contacted the teacher later give you three corresponding divinities as rewards?"

"So, what do you want to do?"

"Create a little miracle - just like my teacher did when he was alive." Lansemello made a gesture to silence Gilgamesh and smiled slyly, "It will be enough to make them 'think' that the Red King is the same as the Flower God - 'walking on this land in another identity'."

"After all, the alliance between the three kings is indestructible. Nashida will naturally understand what I mean and include the desert people who are guided by miracles to enter the city of Xumi into the Order. Knowledge should only be divided into levels because of its own danger, and the upper limit of knowledge that people can obtain should not be determined based on their origins."

"Although I have re-established the rules of the Decree House based on the system of the cellar, they are not the real Atlas, the 'giant who holds up the sky on his shoulders' after all." Lansemero took out a magic dress that looked like a broom from a deserted place and rode the broom into the sky. "So, apart from the scholars' research itself, which needs to be kept confidential, everything else will be appropriately open to every Sumire."

"In short, it's just like the permissions of Chaldea's Spiritual Base Atlas - the Spiritual Base Atlas is locked up by layers of passwords, and it can only be opened after all of them are unlocked. Everyone has a different, unique password, and each password corresponds to a different range of permissions - and based on the direct connection between the void and the grass god, I also made some effects similar to the network real-name system to prevent them from using passwords that do not belong to them."

"However, for the convenience of users, this part of the workload is borne by Nashida - instead of asking users to enter personal information or scan their faces for verification as in our history."

"King Gilgamesh, in which two directions are the Red King's Mausoleum and the Epiphany?" Lansermero floated under the night sky covered by stars, looking around for traces of the Red King's remains. "I think that if we want to find a miracle that can convince the desert people - whether from a geographical or other perspective, the Epiphany should be the most suitable place."

"The Epiphany Hall... let alone scholars, no one can really enter the deepest part of that place that leads to the 'Golden Dreamland'." Gilgamesh pointed out the location of the Red King's Tomb and the Epiphany Hall to Lansemello, "What are you going to do?"

"It's already said to be a miracle." Lansemero flew towards the direction of the Red King's Mausoleum and smiled, "Of course we have to make it bigger - that way, even if it only appears for one day, no one will think it's just a daydream. During this time, in order to build momentum for the miracle, we can also wait for Kirsh who is still on his way..."

"Let's stay in the Red King's Mausoleum for now, King Gilgamesh."
