The original god, the zero-seat executive of the Fools

This feeling is like a drowning person finally rising to the surface. The noise in the ears has returned, the vision has returned to clarity, it is still the streets of Mondstadt, and it is still a sunny afternoon.

"How's it going? Are you feeling better?" Yola, who was sitting opposite him, saw Knox raising his head and asked quickly.

Knox raised his eyebrows and did not answer, but asked: "How long have I been asleep just now?"

"It's only a few minutes. Did you fall asleep just now?" Youla was a little surprised: "You suddenly said you were dizzy just now. What's going on?"

"..." Knox shook his head and stood up holding on to the table: "Hypoglycemia, it's a small problem."

"That's it." Youla nodded, thought for a while, then took out two candies from the pocket on her back and spread them in her palms: "Want to eat? Mints, I originally ate them to refresh myself, but You seem to need it more now.”

Knox waved his hand: "No, I want to find a quiet place now. By the way, do you know where there is a library in Mondstadt?"

Youla blinked and asked curiously: "Library?"

As she spoke, she said thoughtfully: "That's right. If you want to be quiet, the library is indeed a good place to go, but the library in Mondstadt is in the Knights. I'm not sure whether foreigners can go there... "

As she said that, she smiled at Knox: "But if I take you in, you shouldn't have those problems."

"Excuse me..." Knox said calmly.

The library of the Knights is normally open to people from Mondstadt. They only need to register and are not allowed to enter the restricted book area. But for foreigners, it is not so casual. There are countless books in the library, including banned books. There are a lot of Mondstadt secrets in the area. It would be bad if someone with ulterior motives, such as the Fools or the like, sneaks in.

But with Yura, one of the ten captains of the Knights, as a guarantee, there are not so many restrictions.

"Oh, is this handsome guy your friend, Youla? He looks so strange."

Lisa, the librarian, was lying at the front desk talking to Yura with a teasing smile. She glanced at Knox from time to time and gave him a kind smile.

Youla nodded calmly: "Yes, he is very nice. It's not a disadvantage to make friends."

"Yes~" Lisa smiled and said, "Today is the Wine Festival, and there are so many good places to go on a date. Why did you come to the library?"

As she spoke, she covered her mouth and joked: "Could it be that she knew there would be no one in the library today, so..."

Youla rolled her eyes helplessly: "What? He is dizzy due to low blood sugar and just wants to find a quieter place."

"So that's it." Lisa pushed the registration book over: "Okay, I won't disturb you anymore, just register by yourself~"

After that, she turned and left.

Looking at her graceful back, Yora sighed helplessly, first wrote her name on the register, and then handed the pen to Knox: "Here, just write your name on it."

Knox took the pen that still had the warmth of Yula's palm on it, and then wrote the word "Eidolon" under "Yola" on the register.

Chapter 154 Extra: If the resurrected amnesiac spirit is picked up by the hall master

"Ow~"

Ling, who was looking at the bright starry sky in ecstasy, was startled by the head that suddenly appeared next to him.

"Hey, you must be scared. You can't be so timid when you follow me to work~" The girl raised her white and delicate chin proudly, looking really cute.

Ling smacked his lips, feeling helpless: "How old are you, why are you still so childish?"

As soon as these words came out, the girl immediately became unhappy: "Hey, hey, hey, what are you talking about? This hall master is teaching you work experience! You really don't know the heart of a good person..."

"Yes, yes, thank you, Lord Hall Master, for your careful guidance. I am deeply grateful." Ling said perfunctorily.

"Well -" Hutao puffed up her cheeks, very dissatisfied with Ling's attitude.

However, Ling paid no attention to it anymore. He looked towards Wuwangpo not far ahead. It was gloomy and dark, and he could vaguely see a few blue will-o'-the-wisps.

A flash of thought flashed across his expression...

However, Ling ignored the girl, but the girl bothered to pester Ye Ling: "What are you thinking about? Are you scared? It doesn't matter, I will protect you~" She was like a lively, cute and quirky little girl. The elves, chattering around Eidolon.

The noisy spirit wanted to try to recall the lost memories, but the atmosphere was no longer there.

He glared at the girl, and then said: "Let's go. If we hurry up, we might still have time to go back to Wangshu Inn to catch up on some sleep."

"Oh~"

The night sky in Teyvat is very beautiful, the night is clean and cool, and the stars are bright and dreamy.

"When Daqiuqiu is sick, Erqiuqiu looks at it, Sanqiuqiu collects medicine, and Four Qiuqiu boils it~"

Hutao walked briskly, walking beside Ling like a butterfly.

When hearing this song with a different style but an inexplicable cool feeling, Ling couldn't help but complain: "I said, let's not sing this song when we work at night."

"Eh? What does it matter? You were not so courageous before~" Hutao pouted, a little dissatisfied with Ye Ling's words.

Ling was speechless. He rolled his eyes at the other party and sighed: "We are here to send the lost ghosts back to the afterlife. This kind of mysterious work, don't you think it needs a more serious atmosphere?"

"Hey -" Hu Tao suddenly sighed to Ling as if he was disappointed: "You have been in the Past Life Hall for a long time, how come you still haven't learned half of the style of this hall master?"

"???" A question mark appeared on Ling's head, style?who?Are you the only person who sells funerals on the street with style?

"Think about it, those ghosts who can't find their way to the afterlife and are lost in the world are just like children who can't find a home? We help them send them to the afterlife, just like helping lost children find their way home. , If you do a good deed, will you be in a good mood? I am in a good mood, so is there any problem with singing? No problem."

"..." Ling was convinced by Hu Tao's heresy and praised: "As expected of you."

Chapter 155 Problem, solve the problem

"Wow! They are going to the library..." Amber shouted and said to Kelai: "What are we going to do now? If we go in, we will be discovered immediately!"

Kelai bit his nails, a look of thought appeared in his eyes. After a moment, he sighed helplessly: "Forget it, it's not good for us to do this, it seems like we are some kind of stalker..."

After hearing this, Amber smiled sheepishly: "That's right. Speaking of which, I just peeked at Yura and haven't had lunch yet. Let's go find a place to have lunch, even though it's already afternoon."

......

Sumeru——

Elhaysen took the elevator to the dean's office on the top floor. He only walked into a dead end once. After careful observation and rigorous logical deduction, he successfully walked out of the maze and arrived at the office area behind the maze area.

Looking at the white-haired little girl sitting on the chair and looking through the information on the table, Elhaysen did not hesitate at all. He came closer and saluted Nasida who looked up at him respectfully: "Master Grass God. "

Nasida smiled at him and said, "What can I do? Secretary Elhaysen?"

Elhaysen paused for a moment, as if he was thinking about his words. After a moment, he said, "This matter should have been written in a report and submitted to Lord Cao Shen, but the matter is urgent, so I think it is better to report it in person."

Nasida asked in confusion: "What is it?"

Elhaysen said: "The financial expenditure of the Order this month has seriously exceeded the standard, but none of the three administrative orders issued by the dean has been completed more than [-]%. If this continues, the funding chain of the Order will be severely affected." There is a risk of breakage, which may even lead to the inability to function normally."

Nasida blinked. Of course she understood what Alhaysen said. All she said was, "We have no money."

Nasida couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She still had to face this problem. Although the Order held countless patents with huge profits, and the number of molas obtained through these patents every year was countless, the rate at which the Order spent money was not the same. The speed is frightening. After all, the foundation of the rule of the Order is the education industry, and education happens to be the most expensive project.

But fortunately, the investment is directly proportional to the harvest. For example, those patents were produced by the education industry. This virtuous cycle has been going on for many years, and the teaching academy has become more advanced and prosperous. At the same time, relying on the accumulation every year, the national treasury has also accumulated a lot of money.

But - not long ago, the god-creation plan led by the former great sage consumed more than half of the national treasury at once... After all, it was the birth of a god, and one can imagine the materials that were required.

And now, none of the three decrees issued by Knox can save money, so they will face the current shortage of funds. Both Knox and Nasida have long expected it.

Regarding how to solve the problem, Nacida also discussed with Knox. Although Nacida was a little hesitant, Knox was the one who made the final decision. That method must be used. Faced with Knox's tough attitude, Nacida had no choice but to agree. .

If she wasn't forced to do so, Nacida really didn't want to do what Knox said, but now that the problem had arisen, as the god of Sumeru, she had to solve the problem.

Nasida seemed to have made some kind of determination in her heart, and said: "Issue a new decree. From now on, all the profits of the Gilded Brigade in Xumi will need to be handed over 30.00% to the Holy Order as tax. Every Gilded Brigade needs to go to After registering with the Order, 500 million molas will be paid as the registration fee. Only the registered gilded brigade will be officially recognized by the Order. Unregistered gilded brigades will be regarded as illegal armed forces, and the Order will send troops... The time limit for annihilation is set to be one month.”

These seemingly harsh conditions were already obtained by Nasida through Knox. According to Knox's original plan, 50.00% of the tax was to be collected, and the registration fee was even linked to the Gilded Brigade. The level of the group, for example, the first-level gold-plated brigade requires a registration fee of 500 million and is only allowed to recruit ten members. The second-level gold-plated brigade requires a registration fee of 1000 million and can recruit 50 people...

In the end, it was Nacida who used the reason that "excessive force will be counterproductive" to get Knox to agree to postpone the plan to divide the Gilded Brigade into different levels——

Nasida's words made Elhaysen's pupils shrink slightly. He hesitated and asked: "Excuse me, is this what you mean, Lord Grass God, or..."

Nasida sighed and said, "That's what he meant."

Of course "he" Elhaysen understood this, and this was in line with his guess. When Nasida said that she wanted to collect the profits of the Gilded Brigade, he smelled the dean's style.

Elhaysen secretly sighed in his heart, that person really liked to attack the Gilded Brigade, but also, with his character, how could he tolerate so many unstable armed groups throughout Sumeru... Rectification is a matter of course. of.

However, after this new decree is issued, Xumi, which is already in chaos, will probably become even more chaotic...

There are countless gilded brigades in Xumi. After the decree is implemented, the income of the Teaching Council will definitely be terrifying, and the financial problem will be solved...

After Elhaysen said goodbye to Nasida, he left along the way he came, but in his mind, he was still thinking about what Nasida had just said.

In the long run, he felt that the benefits to Xumi would be huge. It was just a short-term chaos, so he hoped it wouldn't be too serious...

As for whether there will be large-scale protests by the Gilded Brigade and non-compliance with the decree, Elhaysen feels that there will definitely be a situation. If the conscription order is like boiling a frog in warm water for the Gilded Brigade, today's decree is almost Use the knife to cut the flesh from the Gilded Brigade.

Just a conscription order has caused such chaos. Seno is still leading troops to suppress the rebellion, let alone now.

But Elhaysen only hopes that there will be fewer people who cannot understand the situation. After all, there are two gods who rule Sumeru now, and the one who is obviously the dominant one is not as kind as the little Lucky Grass King...

Thinking of this, Elhaysen couldn't help but think of a rumor about [Yao Ye Ji Lord] and [Little Lucky Grass King]. It is said that 500 years ago, Little Jixiang Grass King had some special affection for Yao Ye Ji Lord. Now...it seems that the authenticity of that rumor is quite reliable...

Boom!

The sound of his forehead hitting the bookshelf sounded, and the pain on his forehead brought Elhaysen back to reality. Only then did he realize that he had been wandering around in this bookshelf maze for a long time...

"..."

Chapter 156

White snow flakes are flying in the air like pear blossoms in spring. They fall to the ground little by little, covering the monotonous earth with a flawless velvet blanket.

The slender figure wearing a large cloak walked through the snow, leaving a series of small and shallow footprints along the way.

At the end of the snowfield, a young man with blue hair wearing a mask was waiting there. It wasn't until Columbia approached that Dotore smiled and said, "Want to go to him?"

Columbia responded with the same smile: "Yeah, what's wrong?"

Dotore shook his head: "No, no, it's not something important. I'm just curious about a small thing. You know, as a scholar, my desire for knowledge is an instinct."

Columbia nodded, agreeing with Dotore's statement, and then looked at him with her eyes, as if waiting for him to ask curious questions.

Dotore said: "In that distant past, what was your relationship with Knox?"

"Did you confirm the 'distant past' first?" Columbia's smile continued, as if she didn't care at all that such a secret that only existed in her own heart was revealed.

Dotore smiled and said: "It's just a way to make bold assumptions and then seek arguments. What's more, one of his split souls that was torn apart and scattered in the world more than 400 years ago was collected by me. It's natural to get some interesting information..."

"Well, that's it..." Columbia tapped her chin with her slender fingers, and then smiled sweetly: "Of course, it's a partnership."
