Genshin Impact: I, the first water follower, makes players excited

Chapter 228 Confrontation

Elhaisen looked at the silent Great Sage with a little doubt. Ying and Paimon beside him were also a little confused by the silence.

Why is the great sage silent? How can we continue our play if you don't speak?

Fortunately, the great sage is still the great sage. After a sigh, his eyes suddenly became sharp.

"I'm just saying one thing: gods are supposed to be far superior to humans. Little Auspicious Grass King, what can He do?"

A disdainful laugh flowed from the great sage's mouth.

"Providing relief to the people and controlling the sandstorms? Or making up those fairy tales? These are things that the Order can easily do. Are we gods too?"

As the great sage spoke, he walked down the stairs and came to Ying.

"We are all people who have received the grace of the Great Compassionate Tree King. Even if we haven't witnessed it with our own eyes, our ancestors and scholars have indeed experienced its true wisdom."

"And yet the Little Auspicious Grass King, who holds high the throne, only brings confusion to Xumi. Is this true wisdom?"

What the great sage said was indeed his true thoughts, and he was once full of hope for this grass god.

But unfortunately, perhaps he and the Council of Ordinaries had too many expectations of the deceased Tree King, which resulted in the successor Grass God being unable to meet their expectations no matter what he did.

The disappointed sage sealed off the Jingshan Palace and imprisoned the weak but kind Grass God.

As his predecessor said, Xumi does not need mercy now.

Spreading knowledge is the work of gods, but he is just a great sage. For the sake of the stability of Xumi, he should choose to strictly control knowledge.

As a great sage, he naturally understood the living environment in the desert, but so what?

The resources of the rainforest are not enough to support the entire population of Xumi. If the desert people are allowed to move into the rainforest at will, given the hatred that the desert people have had for the Tree King and Grass God for so many years, an increase in the crime rate is almost inevitable.

He once asked the Grass God how to deal with the desert, but the God simply answered him,

“Share the materials and give the knowledge.”

After all, the naive gods do not understand the baseness of human nature.

The desert environment is destined to make it difficult to obtain a stable source of food. If it relies entirely on the free gift of the rainforest, it will undoubtedly increase the survival pressure of the rainforest.

Even if it is purchased from other countries, it will greatly speed up the consumption of Mora.

But people will never be satisfied. Once the food problem is solved, they will seek knowledge.

After obtaining the knowledge they have always dreamed of, they want a better living environment.

Now the problem returns to the beginning. The difference between the rainforest and the desert is a natural and irreconcilable contradiction.

Only by establishing classes, preventing desert people from entering the rainforest, leaving channels for promotion, allowing them to bring their knowledge back to the desert, and allowing them to build their own homes with their own strength.

Although the great sage knew that doing so would only suppress the contradictions and would lead to a more violent outbreak sooner or later, this was the best that an ordinary mortal like him could do.

Until the excommunicated sinner came back to him as the executor of the fools and spoke blasphemous words to him.

"Do you want to create a god with your own hands?"

The great sage admitted that his long-dormant scholar's heart took the initiative at this moment.

The Great Sage fell into memories, but Ying was not. She was very angry at the Great Sage for belittling Nashida!

She was even on the verge of taking action, but luckily Paimon stopped her, which calmed Ying down a bit. She glared at the Great Sage and asked,

"That's a heresy. Are only gods who are exceptionally smart and skilled in combat considered good gods?"

......

"Damn it, I can't stand this anymore! This damned Great Sage actually cursed my Nashida like that! Show your health!"

"Great Sage, I recognize you. Now that foul-mouthed Winter Merchant has nothing to lose as you!"

"I'm so impressed. I was already pissed off just going through the storyline myself, and now I'm pissed off again just watching the livestream!"

......

El Haisen stepped forward, and Ying and Paimon's scenes ended. It was his turn to take over the stage.

"As you have judged, Great Sage, they are indeed dangerous..."

"...Anyway, I've already brought the person to the Ordinance House as you instructed. As for the other two, based on what you just said, you've already captured them."

After saying this, Elhaisen took out a can of knowledge from his backpack.

"By the way, this is the investigation report you requested."

The canned knowledge was delivered to the Great Sage by the guards. Paimon quietly moved away from Elhaisen and said in an incredulous tone,

"Elhaisen, are you siding with the House of Lords?!"

Ying also looked back and forth between the Great Sage and Elhaisen with hostile eyes.

"El Haisen, you really tricked me!"

The Great Sage felt a little funny watching this scene. Their acting skills were a little immature. Besides, did they think that by doing this, they could erase his suspicion of Elhaisen?

too naive.

However, you can take a look at this information first.

The information only contains the parts about Ying and Paimon, and the parts about Xines and Egolia were deliberately blurred by Elhaisen.

After all, from the perspective of the Great Sage, the two had left Xumi City before the Flower God's birthday, and when they reappeared, they appeared as captives along with the Gilded Brigade.

Therefore, it is logical that Elhaisen does not know the information about these two people.

After reading the information, the great sage nodded with satisfaction.

"Excellent report, you are indeed a clerk. Since today is the Hidden Awareness Day, let's record this information into the Void..."

"...But I guess my doing this is also part of your plan, right?"

Ying expressed her doubts appropriately.

"what do you mean?"

Paimon stood aside with a serious face, not wanting to reveal any flaws.

Seeing the performance of these two people, the great sage became more confident.

"Sacrificing the travelers here, isn't that your plan?"

The great sage expressed his own speculation. Regarding the Traveler, Senor and Elhaisen, the Traveler and Senor, one was close to the Grass God, while the other was hostile to the House of Commandments. Under the influence of both sides, Elhaisen's rebellion was almost inevitable.

Now that the plan has been exposed, they choose to sacrifice the Traveler to keep Elhaisen as the nail, and wait for the right time to implement the plan again.

"...Finally, the Void calculated that Senor would return to Xumi to confront me soon, but how could I be left alone with a bloodthirsty wolf?"

The great sage laughed, his face full of confidence.

"So I imprisoned him, along with your two traveling companions."
