Genshin Impact Simulation: Starting with Melsin's Friend

Chapter 251 Why don't you hurry up and thank the great god of wisdom?

A few days later, at the Order of the Sages, in the office of the Acting Sage.

The once orderly desk was now piled high with documents, stacked one on top of the other, with coffee cups and quill pens squeezed in between to maintain a delicate and precarious balance.

Al-Hysen put down his quill pen, which had run dry, heavily, rubbed his temples, and picked up the porcelain cup beside him.

A cup of tea, a cigarette, and a document to review all day.

He tapped the rim of his glass lightly, turned his gaze to the window, and his diamond-shaped pupils, outlined in five colors, flashed with a sharp light.

Lord Little Lucky Grass has been out of contact for some time, and the Disciplinary Officer's investigation report has also yielded nothing.

The disappearance of a deity is no small matter, especially since the approachable Little Lucky Grass King has not appeared for a long time, which inevitably arouses suspicion.

The coffee in the cup was empty. Elhesen slowly put down the porcelain cup and turned his gaze toward the Jingshan Palace.

As for the unusual attitude of the Great Tree King just now... he could only assume that it was all part of the gods' plan.

After all, the matters that the God of Wisdom has to consider are probably no less than those of this acting sage who is taking a break from his busy schedule.

He has always adhered to the principle of going it alone and keeping to himself. As for taking on the role of acting sage, it was only out of necessity that he was appointed to the post in a time of crisis.

I thought it was just a temporary job, but who would have thought that this appointment would last for seven whole years.

If it weren't for some unscrupulous fellow leaving this mess behind, he would have long since returned to his leisurely life as a clerk.

Thinking of this, Elhesen put the coffee cup back on the crowded table and let out a rare, low sigh.

The mysterious man impersonating Kavi disappeared without a trace, as if he had vanished into thin air.

In the past few days, as the imposter disappeared without a trace, Senior Falushan became increasingly anxious. Undercurrents were surging within Sumeru City, and rumors were beginning to spread.

What's worse, it's only a matter of time before the news reaches even the most powerful man, Sangge Mahabai, the daughter of the Huma family, Nilu, or Dixia.

If, by then, the Order of the Fathers doesn't become a second Wind Dragon Ruins, it will be a blessing from the Grass God.

Elhesen rubbed his temples in exasperation. He was indeed the only guy in the entire Order of the Church who left him helpless.

Even after being away for so long, mere illusions can cause upheaval in Mount Sumeru.

Is being this guy's friend a lucky or unlucky thing?

"Acting Sage, your grandmother asked me to inquire about your dinner preferences. What do you mean by that...?"

The secretary's cautious voice came from behind the door. Al-Hysen paused for a moment, then said that everything was normal.

A voice responded from outside the door, and footsteps followed, slowly fading away down the corridor until they could no longer be heard.

The brilliant scholar sat in silence for a long time, then looked up at the sky outside the window and sighed deeply.

The sky was overcast, just like the long, gloomy night seven years ago, after the unforgettable Flower Goddess Festival.

If it really is you, then hurry back and take over this mess so he can go back to being his clerk.

Incidentally, deal with that guy Sano's lame jokes and card games, and also help withhold some of Kavi's construction fees.

After all, without you these past few years, the troubles have been increasing, while the fun of the past has gradually diminished.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side, at Jingshan Palace.

The Great Tree King, having just seen off the acting sage of the Order of the Buddha, breathed a long sigh of relief and slowly pushed open the gate of the Pure Good Palace.

At least we've managed to get through this temporarily... Seriously, dealing with forbidden knowledge shouldn't be this agonizing...

That scholar had a sharp eye; he must have noticed her unusual behavior. It seems the younger generation is truly formidable.

She descended the steps of the front hall, quietly bypassed the winding corridors of Jingshan Palace, and headed towards the Grass God's bedroom located in the rear hall.

However, when she thought about the source of this dilemma, Ms. Bouyer felt helpless.

Because she couldn't very well tell that wise man that the "imposter" they had been searching for was currently in the Pure Land Palace having a romantic conversation with the current Grass God, could she?

To be honest, she didn't really want her own palace to become the first crime scene of the inaugural Sumeru Asura Field Tournament.

After all, blood is hard to clean if it gets splattered everywhere, and the god of wisdom isn't very good at housework.

Thinking of this, a wicked smile suddenly appeared on the lips of the Great Tree Queen. But if some philandering fellow dared to treat her little Narcissus badly, then…

Huh? Why did the World Tree upload some undisclosed classified information to the Void Terminal on its own? Buyer didn't know.

Let me see... Wow, a café in Fontaine's. Sounds nice. Shall I go and have a good drink there sometime?

The House of Hearths...? It's probably an organization from Barnabas. I guess I should pay them a proper visit sometime.

As for whether there are any others... it seems that little Nasita has quite a few competitors...

Sitting in the first audience seat watching the little gods' daily love affairs is the retirement life of the previous god of wisdom.

Oh right, the batch of light novels I ordered from Yaedo through Inazuma last time should be arriving soon. I should go to the Grand Bazaar and buy some date and honey candy to snack on while I pass the time.

However, the mountain of documents piled up in the Church of England will probably not stop being shipped because of Nasita's strike.

"Lord Grass God, these are the documents that require your review today. Please check them carefully and then give your instructions."

The white-haired girl sighed deeply. "Who in my family understands? I've already retired, yet they're still being rehired."

However, for the sake of little Nasita's happiness, she had no choice but to reluctantly sacrifice some of her precious time for reading novels.

Well, what can you do? She's the "senior," after all. Why don't you hurry up and thank the great goddess of wisdom, Lady Bouyer?

In the old sayings of Liyue, it means that when there is a banquet, she has to sit at a table by herself.

The Great Compassion Tree King hummed a cheerful tune as it left the Pure Land Palace; however, at the same time, in the rear hall…

"Achoo! Achoo!"

Mu Feng sneezed twice in a row, looking puzzled. Given his current physical condition, he shouldn't have caught a cold.

Is someone secretly plotting against Buhou?

Damn it, you've messed with him!

Nasita tilted her head in his arms and snuggled closer to him, her delicate face filled with affection and sweetness.

She straightened up, gently kissed Mu Feng on the cheek, blinked her beautiful emerald green four-leaf clover eyes, and gave a little coquettish gesture, indicating that she should continue the story she had just started telling.

Nasita is very curious about the world beyond the universe.

Mu Feng shook his head helplessly and continued telling the story.

“It’s alright, Nasita. Where were we? Right, the smiling weirdo with the red mask, and the spaceship in space carrying the pink-haired girl and the doll…”
