People in Teyvat, starting from saving the grass god

We all try our best to retain such young talents, so how could we send them away so easily?

An example right before our eyes.

It's Diluk.

This former cavalry captain resigned from the Knights of Favonius due to problems with his father and the instigation of an insider. Even though he is still protecting Mond in his own way, the Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, Falga, and Acting Master Jyn are still trying every means to invite him back.

"You definitely don't want to let him go."

Kaiya smiled and said, "But there is nothing we can do. Even if Eula is dissatisfied with the family, she is still a member of the Lawrence family after all."

"otherwise."

"Why should she persist until now with this surname and this infamy?"

An obvious truth.

Rhodes nodded: "That's right."

Then he also laughed: "If you look at it this way, we have made a great profit."

Hear this.

Kaiya raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile: "Then do you want to compensate us for our losses?"

He had only been joking.

But he didn't expect that Rhode would actually reply to him seriously: "How about we open up more places for you to study abroad in the Ministry of Education and add another scholarship?"

The Council of Religious Affairs has always maintained strict control over the number of international students.

When there are resources, priority will be given to the local people of Xumi.

have to say.

This was a rare point that Rhodes was willing to praise the Church of the Lord.

Although the Ministry of Education often does not do its job, at least there is nothing wrong with it in this regard.

With such abundant educational resources, why do we not give priority to our own family members but instead give them to international students? Isn't that wrong?

This is also the fundamental reason why Xumi's academic level has always been top-notch in the continent of Teyvat.

Kaia and his companions had discussed this matter with Nashida during their diplomatic mission.

Compared to Mond.

Xumi’s educational ability is a real dimensionality reduction attack.

They also hope that their outstanding students can get a better academic environment.

At that time, Nashida agreed to release some places, but refused academic subsidies. Everything was done according to the rules of the House of the Decrees. Those who failed the academic assessment would not be able to graduate and might even be expelled.

for this.

Kaia and the others had no objection.

Now Rhodes suddenly said that he could increase the number of places for studying abroad and set up a special scholarship.

It's actually a bit surprising.

"Is what you said really possible?"

It's not that the promise is bad, but Kaeya and the others doubt whether Rhodes' promise will work with the Grass God.

"Hey, we've known each other for such a long time. When have you ever seen me talk nonsense?"

Rhodes spread his hands and said, "Don't worry, this is not a difficult matter. The scholarship program was originally planned. This is beneficial to Xumi, and Nashida will not disagree."

Rhodes openly admitted that his promise was actually part of the plan.

This also gave Kaeya and Diluk a pleasant surprise. They both smiled and said in unison, "Okay, we'll do as you say."

The following topic was less official than the previous one.

Kaeya, Diluk and Rhodes shifted the focus of their conversation to what they saw and heard in Hope City.

"To be honest, your architecture is really fresh."

"Especially the rune mechanism slab."

As Kaiya was talking, he quietly brought up the point that concerned him the most: "Before you said you wanted to learn Mond technology, but your technology is obviously better than ours."

The tone was joking.

What came out were unspeakable envy and desire.

The technology of using mechanical runes to transport elemental power can be considered novel and convenient in the entire Teyvat.

Can be comparable to it.

This is probably the energy transmission line structure of Fontaine.

However, Fontaine's energy transmission technology does not use elemental power at all, so there is no way to introduce it.

If Xumi, a special energy transmission method that combines mechanical technology and rune technology, is introduced to Mond, it will definitely change Mond's energy environment.

Unfortunately.

When they proposed a deal to Nashida about this matter, Nashida refused without hesitation.

And Rhodes immediately extinguished Kaia's idea.

"That technology is not mature yet. The reason why it is used in Hope City is that Hope City is in its initial construction stage and the demand for energy is not particularly high. This immature technology is still within the load range."

"But if we put it in a big city, relying solely on these rune mechanisms, firstly, the transmission efficiency is problematic. It may not be as efficient as the transmission lines you have already built. Secondly, it is very dangerous. Once overloaded, there is a risk of causing a major explosion at any time."

"besides."

"Hope City has always been guarded by someone. If anything unexpected happens, she can protect the safety of Hope City."

"Your Mondstadt's God."

Rhode glanced at the cabin meaningfully, then curled his lips and said, "If you have any accidents with this thing, where is it? And if I sell you this unstable thing, it might ruin your reputation. Wouldn't this business be a big loss? It won't be too late for you to buy it after more stable technology is developed in the future."

To the end.

Rhode said very Versailles: "Anyway, the collection of Red King Technology is now fully open, and new technologies are developing very quickly. It is estimated that better energy technologies will be developed in less than one or two years."

Nashida didn't say so much then.

I just said that this technology is not mature yet and is not suitable for opening to the outside world.

In contrast.

Rhodes' Versailles seems more sincere.

"Then we'll see."

Kaiya didn't continue to dwell on this topic and talked about something else: "Your architect, his name is Kawi, right? When you finish building Hope City, please lend it to us."

"Oh, you're attracted to him?"

Rod blinked.

This is good.

This shows that Kavi's design talent has been recognized. Now he is not just a famous architect in Xumi, but may even become a famous architect in Teyvat.

This is something that none of the top architects in the past have been able to do.

“He’s a very talented architect.”

When it comes to architecture, Diluk has more say than Kaeya.

Then he continued to comment: "In today's environment, there are too few architects who can perfectly combine artistic beauty and practicality."

"I have visited all the buildings in that new city."

“Very good, well designed.”

"It just so happens that we just experienced a dragon disaster and are in the process of reconstruction. West Wind Cathedral, in particular, is the top priority in the restoration work. Qin has looked for many architects, but has not found a suitable one yet."

“I think this one is pretty good.”

"It's just that at that time, we had already signed the agreement with Cao Shen, and the architect still had a contract, so we didn't mention it."

Diluk thinks highly of Kawi.

This thing called artistry.

It has long been something that has been sneered at in the Xumi architectural community.

Rhodes had noticed this early on.

The houses in the rainforest area are too simple in structure and are just there to meet basic living conditions.

It’s okay to look at one or two buildings, but it’s really tiring to look at too many.

However, just because the Xumi architectural community does not value artistry does not mean that other countries do not value it.

Especially Mond.

Mond's architecture has very high requirements for artistic beauty.

"Okay, I'll talk to Nashida about this later. You guys shouldn't be in a hurry, right?"

Rhode stroked his chin and thought for a while: "Well, no, repairing West Wind Cathedral should be urgent, right?"

"No, we're not in a hurry."

Kaia smiled and said, "The West Wind Cathedral is too important, so the people know that they can't find people with insufficient skills to design and rebuild it just for the sake of quick repair. As a result, everyone is not in a hurry. As long as the quality is good enough when it is completed, it's fine."

"That's it."

"Okay, I understand."

"Well."

Rhodes estimated the construction period: "Three months, about three months, is that okay?"

Diluk and Kaeya once again responded in unison, “No problem.”

Talking and laughing.

Rhodes and the other two all smiled as they had come to a successful cooperation.

Such a cheerful atmosphere.

This continued until Mondstadt's envoy ship docked at Liyue Harbor for supplies.

Arriving at their destination, Rhodes said goodbye to Kaia and the others, then stepped off the ship as if they were familiar with the place and entered the long-missed port.

This time.

The Liyue officials, who had received prior notification from the Xumi officials, specially dispatched a Liyue seven-star-level senior official to pick up the ship.

As soon as I saw Rhodes.

This Liyue Seven Stars just stood there in a daze.

Before she could speak, Rhode greeted her in a very good mood: "Hello, Miss Keqing, nice to see you again."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 211 When Gods and Mortals Ask the Same Question

Keqing never expected this.

The distinguished guest that Ningguang had asked to pick up with great fanfare turned out to be the Xumi man who had casually acted at the Liyue Port earlier.

Considering how Rhode addressed her, Keqing curled her lips and said, "You, recognized me then?"

"Ah."

Rhodes admitted it bluntly.

"You're still not good enough at hiding your identity."

Keqing muttered something, then her face straightened and she said in a very official manner: "Dear guest from Xumi, I am Keqing, Yuheng among the Seven Stars of Liyue, welcome to Liyue."

"No need to be so polite."

Rhodes smiled and waved his hand.

Say it.
