Genshin Impact Simulation: Starting with Melsin's Friend

Chapter 220 The Non-Existent Person (7)

"Da da da."

The crisp footsteps tapped on the ground, making one clear sound after another, the echoes reverberating in the empty corridor, as captivating as a bewitching bell.

Such a strong sense of oppression... Who is that person?

The scholars on duty at the academy involuntarily took two steps back, their eyes fixed warily on the young man passing by.

There is no record of this person in the Order of the Church or the Void Terminal. Should we notify the Disciplinary Officer and the Thirty-Man Group?

The young man wearing the crow's beak mask stopped in his tracks. He seemed to have sensed the scholar's thoughts and turned his head slightly to the side.

Their eyes met in mid-air. The gazes beneath the masks were as sharp as cold scalpels, mixed with a faint but extremely dangerous smile.

The scholar's pupils contracted sharply, and he took another step back.

"The Second Executive Officer of the Fools, 'Doctor,' greets you. By order of the noble Ice Queen, I shall, from this day forward, assume the role of diplomatic envoy to Sumeru until winter."

"Please convey to the wise men of the Order of the Church that I wish to have a formal meeting with His Majesty the Little Lucky Grass King as soon as possible."

The "Doctor" bowed slightly, his expression obscured by the mask, only the purple liquid in the blue syringe on his earring reflecting a cold light.

The Order of the Fathers... I really miss it.

This time, however, there isn't much time to reminisce; the "experiment" and the "mission" are still ongoing.

The scholar wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead; clearly, this was no longer a matter he could interfere with.

Since this concerns the diplomatic relations between the two countries of Sumeru and Zhidong, it would be best to report it to the acting sage, Lord Elhesen, first.

Watching the scholar leave in a somewhat flustered manner, the doctor's face still wore that ambiguous smile.

However, that smile seemed to carry a hint of contempt and mockery, which vanished in an instant.

After several years, the Order of the Instruction remains unchanged, with this group of misfits who have come all this way, even slightly inferior to the old stubborn ones of the past.

The "Doctor" elegantly dusted off non-existent dust from his cloak and continued his leisurely stroll.

Although the former Great Sage was a useless and foolish person, by sheer luck, he was put to good use and became the strange turning point in this experiment.

In addition, there's corroborating evidence from that senior, Farusan...

A slight smile appeared on the corner of the "Doctor's" mouth; he seemed to be recalling the experiments he had conducted in the Order of the Church.

However, this experiment is much larger in scale.

An experiment that stakes the entire history of Teyvat.

He turned his head to the side. The acting sage and the Grand Disciplinary Officer had also arrived. It seemed that it was time.

It's time to go and meet that little lucky grass king.

Do not disappoint me, O God of Wisdom, Buyer.

……

Mount Sumeru, the summit of the sacred tree, is the Palace of Pure Goodness.

Lush vines encircle the green dome, and sunlight filters through the window frames, casting dappled shadows.

This is the palace of the god of wisdom, the abode of two deities of Mount Sumeru, the Great Tree King and the Lesser Auspicious Grass King.

A gentle breeze rustled the wooden swing outside the door, its creaking sound becoming a soft, melodious song.

However, the arrival of the envoy from the land of ice and snow added a touch of solemnity to the peaceful scene.

Naxida sat upright on the lotus-shaped flower stand, exchanging a glance with the Great Tree King behind her, who was smiling encouragingly.

The Great Tree King, who had not yet recovered its power, was still in the form of a young girl. She stood to one side and quietly blinked her four-leaf clover.

Everything is in your hands now, little Nasita.

Nasita sighed helplessly. If she had asked a few more questions at this moment, she would probably have received an answer such as this was also part of the test of the god of wisdom.

Since the return of the Great Compassion Tree King, why does it feel like the amount of official business I have to handle has increased rather than decreased?

The Great Compassion Tree King smiled without saying a word, showing no remorse or guilt whatsoever for his slacking off.

After all, having worked diligently for hundreds of years, and finally having found an outstanding successor, the deity has retired gracefully. Of course, it should enjoy its current life in Sumeru.

As for official duties, she believed that little Nasita could handle them perfectly; hmph, this was also part of the test.

However... the arrival of the Fatui's executive at this time is probably not good news.

A hint of worry flashed in the eyes of the Great Tree King. Could it be that... that "doctor" knows something?

If that's the case... then things might get a bit complicated.

It was during this brief moment of contemplation that the second seat of the Fools' Executive, "Doctor" Dottore, slowly walked through the long corridor of the Pure Good Palace and arrived at the foot of the throne.

He bowed gracefully, flicked aside his heavy raven-feather cloak, and performed a standard Sumeru salute.

"Your Majesty the Great Tree King and Your Majesty the Lesser Lucky Grass King, on behalf of the noble Ice Queen, I extend my greetings to you both."

“I have come here by order of Her Majesty the Queen to serve as the envoy to Sumeru until winter, and to provide possible assistance to Sumeru.”

The Great Tree King smiled and nodded, while Nasita stared directly at the "Doctor," her tone so calm that it betrayed no emotion.

"Executor of Winter, polite words are meaningless for achieving your goal. Please state your purpose."

Upon hearing this, the "Doctor" revealed a meaningful smile and got straight to the point, which was also a fine quality of a scholar.

He gave a slight bow and revealed the true purpose of his trip.

"Your Majesty, Little Auspicious Grass King, I have come for the 'Heart of the Grass God' as per the mission bestowed by Her Majesty the Queen."

Nasita's gaze suddenly turned serious and sharp, and her tone gradually lost its previous soft and peaceful quality.

"So, can I interpret Zhi Dong's executor as Zhi Dong unilaterally declaring war on Xumi?"

Demanding the heart of a god before a foreign deity is hard not to be seen as a blatant provocation.

Despite noticing the grass elemental energy gradually solidifying in the air, the "Doctor" maintained a calm and composed expression.

"You've misunderstood, Your Majesty the Little Lucky Grass King."

Regarding the ownership of the "Heart of God," I prefer to call it a "transaction" rather than a "war."

"Her Majesty the Queen promises that the Fools will fully support the reconstruction of Mount Sumeru and provide all possible assistance."

The party that was about to winter made the first offer, but the little god remained calm and refused.

"I'm sorry, Executor of Winter's End, Sumeru is currently in dire need of reconstruction, and the operation of the Void Terminal still requires the support of the Heart of God. We are sorry, but we cannot participate in this transaction."

"Furthermore, what I'm more interested in is the Ice Queen's purpose in acquiring the Heart of God? Isn't she afraid..."

Narcida's eyes flickered, but "Doctor" understood the underlying threat in her words.

Zhi Dong is unwilling to engage in "war," not unable to. In a direct confrontation, Xumi's current strength is not superior.

And this is also one of the greatest assets of a "doctor".

However, Sumeru was by no means without any power to fight back.

The one in heaven has fallen asleep, and who knows if the message from the heart of God will awaken her again?

By leveraging this, the weaker Sumeru once again gained the upper hand in this unequal negotiation.

Faced with the unfavorable situation of being outmaneuvered, "Doctor" revealed a smile that he had expected.

"As you said, this deal is of great importance."

"Before the deal was completed, all I could reveal was that 'those two' had tacitly approved of our plan."

At this point, the "Doctor" keenly noticed the fleeting complex expression on the face of the Great Tree King.

The newly born gods have not yet come into contact with the secrets of the world, while the former masters remain silent.

A slight smile curved Dotole's lips, and a deep, dark light gleamed in the hollow eye sockets beneath his raven-feather cloak.

"As the god of wisdom, His Majesty the Little Lucky Grass King would surely be interested in the 'truth of the world.'"

"To show our sincerity, there is also..."

The doctor's smile turned somewhat manic, and his eyes shone with a terrifying light through his raven-beak mask.

"And that matter, Your Majesty Little Lucky Grass King, I will reveal part of the truth about that matter."

"The World Tree, that thing you've always cared about."
