Chapter 565: Do you want to go to the desert to play?
Finally, I have waited for it. Will it be approved for the research project?
"It doesn't look like it passed..."
This expected result did not stir up too many emotional waves. There is too little reference information for this land. More knowledge is needed...
"Come and see me."
A familiar voice sounded. He looked at the terminal that he had been wearing almost all the time since he came back. He tidied himself up simply, made sure he looked presentable, and decided to go.
Many people greeted me along the way.
"Miss Norlinghi!"
"Ms. Witch!"
"Master Dean!"
"Long time no see." For these, it is enough to face them gently.
Some gentle responses can solve a lot of troubles. Of course, if you really don’t want to talk, you won’t express your needs very loudly. You will just say hello simply and smile. If you really want to talk, you will interrupt by saying that you have something to do.
Communicating with too many people is exhausting... Wouldn't it be better if I knew fewer people?
"..."
It’s a bit like when I was in elementary school and I didn’t dare to say hello to the teacher when I met him. I would even stand at the door and wait for a long time until the teacher noticed the half of my head that showed up.
I haven't had this feeling for a long time, it's a bit strange. Of course, I didn't wait long in the end, I just took a deep breath and walked in.
"Nolinxi..." The god seemed to be dealing with something. He did not turn around, and his hands did not stop moving. He could feel that the room the god was in was filled with a very strong life force, as warm as the sun...
"I'm here, Lord God. Don't worry too much about me. You can finish your work first."
After sitting aside and waiting for a while, I finally finished my work. The god was still the same, and the other person's face was still perfect. I had already started to have fine wrinkles on my face, but of course they were not that obvious...
"Regarding the topic, I'm very sorry. At least for now, I can't express my support or ask about this openly..."
"I understand, sir. This part is indeed a little too unknown to people. I am just a little flattered. You actually called me for such a small matter?"
Is the relationship between me and the gods a bit like that of a student? It's as if I'm a favorite student of the gods, and they will personally explain many things to me.
"Thank you very much for your understanding. I would like to ask, what happened recently?"
"...I...have seen some closed-topic content, you know, right? It's classified as a place where dissemination is prohibited, but I have read the books there, with permission..."
"Is that what makes you curious?"
"No, it's because of this that I want to save it. I have a pet that accidentally entered the dead zone. When I found it, it was already beyond saving. At that time, I wanted to transfer its soul into a body created by alchemy, but I failed. The soul was in great pain..."
"So you want to study things about the soul?"
"Well, I have a special curse on me, so I have to find a place where my soul can transform into a body before I get old. It may sound strange to you... My curse is that I will continue to age, rather than being immortal at a fixed age."
"You hope to find a body to move to before your body decays, right?"
"Well... I already know that fate is short. Well, you can look closely at my face. I already have signs of aging on my face. Although it's not that obvious, I'm starting to get old. I'm not sure how long I can live..."
"……Can."
"Ok?"
"You can study the topic of alchemical creation of bodies and transfer of souls, but every time you study such a topic, you need to report to me in advance. Do you understand?"
"Thank you very much for your trust and generosity. I will remember your tolerance towards me..."
"Actually, I called you here for another matter. I need your help to go to the Red King's territory..."
"I understand. Is this a diplomatic question? I'm not very good at it, but I'll continue..."
"It's about tree seeds and rivers. Although they are the same plants and planted in the same place, the people of the Red King are not able to take good care of these young seeds. They want the desert to become a better place, but it is difficult. So I thought of you. Maybe you need to go on a business trip for a month or two? Until the people over there learn how to make the trees flourish."
"Okay! Don't worry, I've always been good at teaching children!"
"Let me explain something in advance. Perhaps because of the past, the conflict between the people is very serious. Although the Red King and I are friends, people still compare and slander the gods and still hate each other. I thought about it for a long time and finally found a scholar who may not be the best teacher, but is definitely the one who can come back safely. That's you."
In fact, what is really needed is not a very good teacher, but a teacher who can ensure his own safety and come back safely.
"Please don't worry, I still practice my sword skills frequently..."
"As someone who has killed a god before, I don't doubt your ability."
"I don't... Do you also think that what is described in those novels is true?"
It's true that I didn't really kill him, because he escaped after all, didn't he? Although he died in my hands in the end...
"You have the smell of the blood of dead gods on you. Even if you didn't kill the gods yourself, you joined in. In the eyes of the gods, the smell on you is like the smell of blood in the water, which makes fish excited when they see blood..."
Is it obvious that it has become like this?
"In fact, it's hard to get rid of this smell, but..."
He took out a small leaf, watched the other person's movements, stretched out his left hand and turned his wrist.
There is a small, inconspicuous brown mole next to a blood vessel below the wrist of my left hand...
The leaves were placed right on top of it, and it felt a little different. The vague feeling of discomfort seemed to have disappeared...
"It will cover up your scent. Don't worry. I will remove it myself when I come back. Please don't let others notice it. Many sensitive people can smell this scent, especially those who have come into contact with gods. They know this scent better..."
