The Doctor left, and Si Xuan's mission was complete.
Now, he should go to the Palace of Alcazarzaray and rendezvous with the Traveler.
Return to Sumeru City via the spatial anchor.
Si Xuan saw Sumeru soldiers rushing through the streets, as if they were looking for something.
Seeing their anxious expressions, Si Xuan immediately understood.
Alhaitham's vague instructions had taken effect.
So, he also headed towards the Palace of Alcazarzaray.
“Eh? Si Xuan? You're here too?”
The Traveler and Paimon had already arrived at the entrance of the Palace of Alcazarzaray.
They were about to enter to release the Lesser Lord Kusanali.
“The Doctor has temporarily left. Although we don't know his follow-up plans, he should not appear when we deal with Scaramouche.
He should not appear when we deal with Scaramouche.
Lumine couldn't help but give Si Xuan a thumbs up.
“Good job.”
If the Doctor suddenly appeared while dealing with Scaramouche, they wouldn't necessarily be able to defeat him.
An Eleventh Seat Harbinger had already given Lumine some trouble.
How strong the Second Seat Doctor was, Lumine couldn't even judge.
“I saw everyone being led away outside.
If we want to act, we have to be quick. Scaramouche is now using the Gnosis to usurp the authority of the Tree of Dreams.
Once he succeeds, Teyvat is finished.”
Actually, while playing the game and seeing this plot, Si Xuan felt quite confused.
Why could Scaramouche seize part of the Tree of Dreams' authority?
According to the Fontaine version,
Celestia seized the authority of the Hydro Archon and placed it on the Seven Archon's seats.
While the Gnosis, in essence, absorbs the faith of the people to accumulate divine power, it also has the function of connecting to Celestia.
In terms of novels, the seat represents authority, and the Gnosis represents power.
The Gnosis can be snatched, but the seat, you either have to give it up or retreat.
Therefore, even though she was imprisoned, only Nahida was on the Dendro Archon's seat.
The management authority of the Tree of Dreams should be one of the powers of the seat.
If this is the case, how did Scaramouche steal the authority of the Tree of Dreams?
Moreover, he was using the Electro Archon's Gnosis.
Did the Doctor do something?
Dismissing the thoughts in his mind, even though he had some doubts, there were no answers at the moment.
Si Xuan pushed open the doors of the Palace of Alcazarzaray, and then saw Cyno dragging the Grand Sage Azar out.
This fellow was clearly beaten up by Cyno. He had a black eye and a swollen face. He was even limping as he walked.
“Yo, isn’t this the Grand Sage Azar? Why are you so pathetic after not seeing you for a while?”
Si Xuan replied sarcastically.
Azar saw Si Xuan, but instead of being submissive, he was filled with anger in his barely open eyes.
“Si Xuan... it was you, you were behind all this.
You let that god rule over Sumeru, what do you gain from it?”
Si Xuan looked extremely shocked.
“Oh my, Grand Sage Azar, what are you saying? I don't understand. I am a Fontaine diplomat.
If you continue to speak to me so disrespectfully, I'll exercise my diplomatic powers.”
Si Xuan had thought Azar was stupid, but he had never thought he was this stupid.
Didn't he know that after getting his hands on those core academic materials a few days ago,
Sumeru’s value had already been squeezed dry by him?
The Fontaine Academy now possessed almost all of the Sumeru Akademiya’s existing academic materials.
The Akademiya was of no value to him anymore.
Since it had no value, it was better to sell it to Nahida.
This guy couldn't even think of this. He dared to speak so arrogantly here.
Cyno slapped Azar in the face without a word.
This slap directly knocked out Azar’s two front teeth.
“I'll go arrest the other participating Sages. The rest is up to you.”
Cyno dragged the star-struck Azar away.
Si Xuan also walked into the Palace of Alcazarzaray with Lumine.
Before leaving, Cyno forced Azar to close the device that imprisoned Nahida.
So when they walked into the Palace of Alcazarzaray, they saw Nahida standing on the ground.
This was the first time Lumine and Paimon had seen Nahida in the real world.
The two of them strode forward, quickly running.
Si Xuan walked slowly.
Nahida, who had just exchanged greetings with Lumine and Paimon, sighed when she saw Si Xuan.
She felt the outside world with her body, something ordinary people do every day, but for her, it had only happened a few times in the past five hundred years.
“Nahida, are you okay.”
Lumine and Paimon were very happy. They finally got to see Nahida in the real world.
“I’m fine. I was able to come out this time, I owe a lot to you, and also to the Fontaine diplomat.”
Nahida’s voice was very gentle. She seemed to be unaware of what Si Xuan had done to Sumeru over the years.
“It's a pleasure to meet you, the Dendro Archon.”
Si Xuan first exchanged pleasantries with Nahida according to diplomatic etiquette.
Then he changed the subject to another direction.
“By the way, what are you going to do about Scaramouche? According to my calculations,
at this point in time, he should have finished the experiment, and all that's left is the god-like infusion of knowledge.”
Lumine and Paimon also became anxious.
“Really? Then we have to deal with Scaramouche quickly.”
But Nahida shook her head.
“No need to rush. The Sages have been arrested, and the god-like infusion of knowledge has been preserved.
He doesn't have a chance. I need to spend some time obtaining control of the Void. It'll probably take a day.
Traveler and Paimon, you can rest for now. Come find me again tomorrow at this time.”
Paimon pointed her finger at Si Xuan.
“What about him? Is he coming with you?”
Nahida glanced at Si Xuan.
“He has a very important item. I need his help to modify the Void's authority.”
Nahida, as the Dendro Archon, needed the help of a Fontaine diplomat to modify the Void's authority?
Lumine and Paimon couldn't help but look at Si Xuan strangely.
What kind of earth-shattering events had this guy been hiding from them while he was in Sumeru?
Although they were very curious, Nahida clearly didn't want to say anything.
After Lumine and Paimon left, Nahida's expression became more serious.
“If I’m not mistaken, the Great Lord Rukkhadevata should have given you the second core of the Void system.”
Don't underestimate Nahida’s age. Her sensitivity to aura is top-notch among the Seven Archons.
Si Xuan helplessly took out the emerald green crystal he had obtained from the Great Lord Rukkhadevata.
“I originally thought your purpose in coming to Sumeru was just for Sumeru's academic materials.
I didn't expect your goal to be the Void.”
Seeing this Void core, Nahida immediately understood.
“That was indeed my goal. However, I was planning to obtain the Void through diplomatic means after this matter was resolved.
But I didn't expect the Great Lord Rukkhadevata to simply give it to me.”
To be honest, Si Xuan suspected that the Great Lord Rukkhadevata must have seen something in the Tree of Dreams.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have handed over the Void so readily.
This core was identical to the core currently used in the Void system.
As long as it was replaced, Si Xuan would be able to use the Void completely.
“It seems you’ve already determined that the Void will be closed after this incident.”
Nahida extended her hand to receive the information transmitted by the second Void core.
“As the God of Wisdom, I don't believe you don't know how dependent the Akademiya people are on the Void. Some people wouldn't even have the ability to research without the Void.
This is not necessarily a good thing for Sumeru.”
The light faded, and Nahida opened her eyes.
“Okay, I've already given this Void core authority.
After this matter is over, I will give you the Void. Of course, you also have to pay a price.”
