Chapter 784: God's Canned Knowledge (4)
"So you're saying that Little Auspicious Grass King has to work overtime before his birthday? Is that what you mean?"
[Wow, what a dedicated deity! She actually works? So touching!]
[Oh my god! Someone among the Seven Gods is actually doing their job! This is simply a miracle!]
Come on, let's review the lives of the gods before us—Vendy: slacking off and drinking to his heart's content; Zhongli: leisurely sipping tea, strolling his birds in the garden, and listening to opera and music; Ying: addicted to dumplings and milk, and still obsessed with light novels...
This comparison is incredibly convincing, no doubt about it!
Hearing this, Ying nodded slightly and said seriously:
"After the Flower Goddess Festival? Okay, we'll definitely come visit again then."
Caesar nodded slightly to show that he understood.
Paimon scratched his head and muttered subtly, "But... it feels a little weird. Gods actually have to handle government affairs? It feels so strange coming out of my mouth."
Iya nodded silently, his expression also thoughtful: "I agree, it is indeed... a bit subversive."
Caesar was slightly surprised, his eyes darting between them. He asked tentatively, "From what you said, besides Marshal Tianfeng, you actually know several other gods?"
Ying nodded calmly, her tone calm but with a hint of pride: "Yes, thanks to the Marshal's introduction, we have the honor of meeting the Wind God of Mondstadt, the Rock God of Liyue, and the Thunder God of Inazuma."
"..."
Caesar fell into a rare silence.
This connection...is simply too amazing.
Could the identity of this descender be so special? Could the almighty Marshal Tianfeng personally act as a matchmaker and introduce the gods of various nations to him?
He was thinking to himself when his eyes accidentally fell on Yiya who was sitting quietly beside Ying. He felt something in his heart and quietly changed his mind.
Perhaps, this had nothing to do with the "Adventer" at all. Perhaps Marshal Tianfeng was so concerned simply because Yiya was a strand of her essence, a clone, but also like her own daughter.
If we say that the elders are paving the way for their children's future, then all this seems natural.
But it doesn’t matter, because no matter what the situation is, there are at least four gods standing behind Ying.
So whether out of personal feelings or considerations of the overall situation, Caesar had to admit: he must treat his relationship with Ying more cautiously.
After all, what's at stake isn't just the friendships of the gods, but a vast network of connections capable of shaking up Teyvat itself. A single misstep could unleash a turbulent storm.
【Teacher Caesar is silent! 】
[Completely shocked by the amazing social network of Teyvat's "King of Connections"].jpg]
[The value of a whole van being summoned with just one phone call.]
Caesar leaned back on the wooden chair and sighed softly. A trace of fatigue that was hard to conceal appeared between his brows. He then raised his hand and rubbed his tense brows, as if trying to digest some indescribable complex emotions.
After a moment, he noticed that Ying and her group were still standing there and had not left. He immediately suppressed the worry on his face, regaining his usual calm expression, and asked gently but with a hint of doubt:
"The problem has been solved. You are not planning to leave yet, but is there anything else?"
Ying nodded slightly, her tone serious, "On the way to the Ministry of Education, I overheard a rumor - it is said that the Ministry of Education is secretly promoting a mysterious project."
"Rumor has it that if the project succeeds, it could potentially heal the World Tree."
She looked directly at Caesar, "I wonder if Sage Caesar knows about this?"
Upon hearing this, Caesar's brows suddenly furrowed, his expression instantly solemn, as if he was lost in some deep and heavy thought, and a difficult expression of "life's difficulties have come again" appeared on his face.
[This expression... looks so familiar.]
[Look familiar? Isn't it that classic emoticon? ]
【Subway, old man, mobile phone.jpg】
After a long pause, he slowly spoke, his tone deep and profound, "It's true that such rumors are circulating... but they definitely didn't come from the top brass of my department. They were most likely spread secretly by those loyalists."
He scoffed, a trace of disdain and scrutiny flashing in his eyes: "Healing the World Tree? Ha... they dare to think so."
"The Order of the Gods has been passed down for thousands of years, and its tome is as vast as the sea of books, yet no one has ever truly seen the World Tree's true form—its exact location and form remain mysteries."
Caesar's gaze suddenly became sharp, cutting through the air like a knife:
"Unless...it's that person."
"Otherwise, relying solely on unfounded speculation, one would presume to claim that the World Tree is 'sick'; and with those pedantic, self-contained, and conservative views, one would dare to attempt to 'cure' such a sacred being..."
His tone was firm, and every word he said was resounding: "I can tell you responsibly - this is absolutely impossible."
However, he changed the subject, a deep, inquiring look flashing across his eyes: "Of course... if there really is some force behind this secretly fanning the flames, then everything is a different matter."
His eyes flickered, and he already had the answer in his mind. He asked in a low voice, "You mean... the Fatui?"
Caesar raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Oh? You already have a suspect?"
Ying raised the corners of her lips slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, and then repeated the teasing words she had heard from Wendy on the Golden Apple Islands:
"The Fatui... aren't they everywhere? The Ice God's subordinates are very capable, so it's no surprise they're everywhere."
Caesar lowered his eyes slightly, his expression solemn, as if lost in a deep recollection of the Fatui's ways. After a moment, he slowly nodded, his voice low and magnetic, "You make a lot of sense."
"Oh--"
Suddenly, Caesar raised his eyebrows slightly, as if remembering something important, and said with a hint of understanding:
"Come to think of it, I remember something that happened recently, which might be related to this mysterious project you mentioned."
He narrowed his eyes slightly and continued, "Recently, the royalists encountered an accident while escorting an item from Aru Village back to Xumi City. News leaked, and the item was stolen in the vast desert, and its whereabouts remain unknown to this day."
"This matter is of no small importance." His tone grew deeper. "Not only have the disciplinary officers been dispatched in full force to track him down, but even the Thirty-Man Group has offered a rare and exorbitant reward, vowing to recover him."
"This shows," Caesar slowly raised his eyes, his gaze as bright as a torch, "they value this thing far more than usual."
He stroked his chin and whispered thoughtfully, "Now it seems that this stolen item may be the key to the secret project you are investigating."
A look of deep thought quietly emerged on Caesar's face. He stood still, his eyes looking into the distance, as if piercing through layers of fog.
At this moment, Caesar is weighing whether he should personally uncover the ins and outs of this mystery and delve into the unknown and dangerous abyss of the truth.
