Lin Qiu said, "You don't think I can only fool genius astrologers, do you?"

Sorry, geniuses are under my jurisdiction. Look, even genius Yingbao was fooled by me.

The traveler in the story is also a genius. Upon receiving the 'new toy,' she immediately used it, wanting to ask the Void how to meet the Grass God.

However, no response was received, as if it was due to insufficient search permissions.

As expected of a product of the god of wisdom, the void is indeed wise. Knowing that those who introduced gods to travelers had all met with disaster, it dared not do so.

Ying thought it was because Paimon's questioning posture was incorrect: "Paimon, your question is not rigorous enough."

Paimon asked in confusion, "Where is it not rigorous?"

In the story, she asks, "How can I see the Grass God?" Isn't that a very precise question? Her goal is clear.

Ying said, "Nasita is a child, so how can she be an 'adult'? She should ask about 'how to see the little grass god'!"

Lin Qiu and Saino clapped, "Great!"

Nasita nodded in agreement, “That does seem to be the case, from the perspective of linguistic precision.”

Farusan complained: "This isn't rigor, it's just nitpicking."

"Enough! Stop telling lame jokes!" Paimon stomped his foot.

Paimon sighed, "Seriously, why has everyone become so fond of telling lame jokes since we came to Sumeru!"

This is Mount Sumeru, not the winter solstice, so why is it so cold!

Kavi suddenly realized: "Oh, so they were talking about 'adults' in terms of age! How interesting!"

Dina Zede sighed, “How come even the Grass God… But… that makes sense, the Grass God is just that kind of approachable god.”

As expected of the Grass God, he is so gentle!

Nilu was pondering that, following this logic, the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival shouldn't be called the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival anymore. What should it be called?

It can only be said that when Nel started thinking about this question, she had already been 'logically raped' by Yingmei.

It's hard to say what the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival should be called, but Yingmei in the story has a new idea.

Since we can't get answers by asking directly, let's try a different approach. Ask about things related to the Little Grass God and see if we can find any clues.

Therefore, Yingmei chose to ask the Void questions about the 'Great Compassion Tree King'.

We obtained a lot of information, but before we could interpret it, some of our emotions became extremely intense.

Love, affection, remembrance, sorrow, and unease—these are the emotions that the Sumeru people feel when facing the Great Compassion Tree King.

There is still no content related to the Grass God, but some new clues have indeed been obtained. Silence and rebuttal can sometimes be clues as well.

There weren't many emotions in the void when inquiring about the Grass God, which suggests that even the Sumeru people didn't know much about the Grass God.

This point is not explicitly stated in the article, but readers with high emotional intelligence will understand.

Recalling the previous PV, when the Grass God was first born, the Sumeru people only had memories and sorrow for the Great Tree King and ignored her existence.

The descendants of the Sumeru people no longer have these negative emotions and biased perspectives, but unfortunately, the Grass God is imprisoned, and they can't even see him.

The descendants of the Sumeru people had never seen the Grass God, so it was indeed difficult for them to have any more emotions.

Therefore, the emotional differences obtained when searching for information about two generations of gods are also a kind of hidden intelligence.

The traveler in the book is naturally clever; she discovers that the void has a monopoly on knowledge, and that a higher status is needed to obtain more information and knowledge.

Unfortunately, Yingmei's surname is not Brahmin, so she cannot search for all the information in the void and can only ask the people mentioned by Tinari.

Upon finding Ruhari, Yingmei revealed that she was recommended by Tinari, which immediately broke his guard.

[Ruhari: "Ah, stop, stop, stop, you don't need to say anything more, no one needs to say anything more. I admit that the article I published last month was indeed rather weak, and the data wasn't very convincing..."]

His strong reaction was because Tinari was a well-known scholar of the biophilosophy, and he certainly had the authority to comment on Ruhari's paper.

At the same time, he was not confident in his own paper, knowing that its quality was almost entirely poor, and even the best writer would recognize it as a masterpiece.

Therefore, Tinari would definitely criticize him if he saw it.

This statement instantly resonated with the scholars of Sumeru, causing them to collectively break down and recall their own papers.

Whose paper doesn't contain padding? Waaaaah, help! The real water kingdom has been found.

Not only are they crying, but all the stragglers will cry about this in the future. Papers are such terrible things; whoever writes one will cry.

The tears I shed while writing my thesis were all the result of the foolish decision I made when choosing my major.

On the contrary, Laiila was alright. Although she was always rushing to finish her papers, they would always inexplicably come to fruition on their own.

Sino became interested. Everyone else has already had their turn, so it's my turn now, right?

Sino: "The desert is very hot and you will get very thirsty. What should a Sumeru scholar do if he gets thirsty in the desert?"

The moment the question was asked, Tinari and Lin Qiu already knew what Seno was going to say.

Sure enough, Seno said, "The answer: Write a paper."

What progress! Remarkable progress! This time, the lame joke wasn't a pun at all!

Putting aside Sino's lame joke, the only useful information in the story about Rouhari is that his paper is all fluff.

The information he knew was actually just gossip from the Order of the Fathers, distorted relational issues that, while interesting, were not what the traveler wanted to know.

The connections in Tina are no longer effective, so travelers will have to rely on their own networks.

In a place where no one knows you, which intelligence expert is the most familiar to travelers?

That would naturally be "towards the stars and the abyss".

[Catherine: "To the stars and the abyss. Traveler, Paimon, greetings."]

Paimon asked Catherine the same question, but unfortunately, Catherine's permissions were insufficient, and she was unable to obtain relevant information from the void.

But this behavior actually made people feel strange.

Catherine has appeared quite often in the past, providing numerous missions and intelligence.

Strangely, Catherine of Sumeru was using the void to search, rather than the association itself!

This is the Adventurers' Guild! The kind of Adventurers' Guild that will scrutinize even the most unusual excrement! Do you really need to find other ways to gather information?

Chapter 505 Dina Zede makes her debut

The Sumeru people didn't feel anything, because they considered it normal; when in doubt, they would consult the void.

But the foreigners who had been watching all along frowned as they read this. It seemed that even Catherine was becoming somewhat reliant on the void.

Since everything on Sumeru's side relies on the void, the information they find is probably pretty much the same, and they won't be able to get any more information out of them.

The traveler was now in a bit of a predicament. Who else could he ask? Maybe he should ask Zhongli or Wendy? Those two old men might know something.

Forget about Ying. Although she's an old god, she knows far too little. It would be better to ask the young god who's only a few hundred years old. Maybe he knows something about his 'peer'.

Among the peers is Fu Ningna. To be honest, these three are clearly the same age, so why is there such a big difference in their development?

The two goddesses, Nasita and Funina, combined are no match for this fox, the Divine Child.

The difference between them is like that between a pea shooter and a corn cannon.

As expected of a woman called Yae no Miko, meaning she is equivalent to eight Mikos, Nasita and Funina can also be considered 'Mikos' in a sense.

Okay, enough with the lame jokes. Let's get back to the main topic. He actually gave an explanation for his reliance on Void Catherine.

[Catherine: "In Sumeru, our Adventurers' Guild isn't the most well-informed organization. Many mercenary groups, large and small, are active here, known as the 'Gilded Brigade.'"]

It turns out that there are people vying for jobs at the Sumeru Adventurers' Guild, and even the defense of Sumeru is handled by a "30-person group".

The decline in intelligence gathering capabilities led Catherine to seek intelligence in the void rather than within the association.

The Adventurers' Guild has begun to miss its former, invincible self.

All Catherine could do was contact the traveler's advisor, the "Group of Thirty," to see if they could help.

Unfortunately, the traveler went, but the other party was still unable to help; even a "group of thirty" couldn't be introduced to the Grass God.

I've been searching for so long and still haven't found anything, so I guess I have to recommend Thomas.

Let me tell you, isn't Thomas's referral efficiency high? Look how many people the Traveler asked for referrals but couldn't get any, while Thomas handled it all by himself!

However, this search also highlighted the traveler's impressive network of connections; he knew people everywhere, and through introductions, he ended up being introduced to the 'National Defense' chief advisor.

If he exerts even more effort, the Great Sage might wake up the next day to find the Traveler standing at his bedside, introduced by someone else.

Unfortunately, it was still no use. The "Gilded Brigade" did not believe in gods at all, and their understanding of the Grass God and the information they could find were even less than that of ordinary Sumeru people.

Despite being the chief advisor for city defense, he had access to no more intelligence than ordinary rainforest dwellers, demonstrating the Council's monopoly on knowledge and its discrimination against desert dwellers.

[Asfard: "Heh, let's talk about the Council of the Church. They are the true rulers of Sumeru."]

"In their view, it was the Great Compassion Tree King who created Mount Sumeru and left behind the void, while the Lesser Auspicious Grass King merely happened to inherit these."

"As for ordinary people, under the influence of the Church Council, they naturally have a better understanding and love for the Great Compassionate Tree King."

"Furthermore, not only does the Little Auspicious Grass King never show herself, but the Order of the Nation also rarely releases any information about her. Therefore, to the Sumeru people, she is merely a deity who 'exists.'"

The Faith Council: Come back, Great Tree King, my proudest faith!

Nasita watched in silence. In fact, she herself had questioned herself in this way. She was merely the successor of the Great Tree King. Did she really deserve it?

With this self-doubt, she was even less able to resist.

Over five hundred years, Nasita came to understand the various problems of Mount Sumeru, and thus made many policy changes after her release.

The problems of Sumeru are deeply rooted, and education must be promoted in order to change the interest structure and implement subsequent reforms.

However, Nasita had never put these ideas into practice before.

The power of the god of wisdom is a dream, but wisdom is the pursuit of knowledge! It is the pursuit of truth! Daydreaming cannot give Nasita confidence, not even if someone loves her, which gradually becomes a vicious cycle.

I never intended to hurt anyone, and I feel sorry for everyone, but my inferiority complex outweighs all those who love me.

Because of her predecessor's excellence and her people's abandonment, Narcida was not imprisoned by humans; she was defeated by her own inferiority complex.

To understand the current situation, we must mention Zhongli's words: 'There's really no benefit in believing in a deceased god.'

It can only be said that Zhongli's words are becoming increasingly valuable. The value of these words was already demonstrated in the case of the Umijima Island issue, and it is unexpected that Sumi is an even greater master.

Haiqi Island worships a deceased god, but Sumeru is different; it worships two, one in the rainforest and one in the desert.

No, the people in the rainforest no longer worship the Great Tree King; they worship the void.

The Void told them that they didn't need to know about the Grass God, and they stopped being curious.

Tell them that the Great Tree King is great, and they will love the Great Tree King.

If one day the Void were to tell them, 'In fact, the Crimson King is your god,' they would believe it without a doubt.

Theoretically speaking, believing in the void isn't all bad, because the void 'doesn't lie'.

The problem is that those who control the void can! The root cause of Sumeru being controlled by academic cliques and the bottom being monopolized by knowledge is the incompetence of those in power.

Even in the rainforest, not many people in Sumeru truly receive an 'education'.

The lower-level Sumeru people were actually raised through 'ignorance education', and the void was the 'ruler', 'father', and 'god', which was beyond question and could not be resisted.

This is also one of the reasons for stopping the Void; the Void has already 'surpassed' the people of Sumeru, and it's not good for anyone to be in control of it.

Returning to the story, the traveler and Paimon wandered around Sumeru, asking many passersby for directions, and the answers they received were generally the same.

'The void thinks I don't need to know.'

For this reason, the Sumeru people had no interest in the Grass God.

Paimon: "Is it possible that not a single person in the entire Sumeru City is interested in the Little Lucky Grass King?"

Guess what? What a coincidence! Paimon's casual complaint was overheard by the few people in Sumeru who believed in the grass god.

【? ? ?: "Oh? So, you're interested in Lord Little Lucky Grass?"】

Dina Zede made her appearance, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with exquisite looks and elegant manners, instantly winning the favor of many people.

The illustration is still, and as people can appreciate it closely, they will naturally notice something unusual: her hands are wrapped in bandages.

This is not good news, because people in Sumeru suffering from the Demon Scale Disease do this in order to hide the 'demon scales' on their bodies.
