Chapter 8

Thinking of Han Feng's previous words, Nahida's mood couldn't help but become heavy.

So after saying goodbye to Collei, she controlled Lumine to rush toward Sumeru City.

When turning right at the fork in the road, she saw a girl being attacked by three mushrooms.

Although she was in a hurry to get to Sumeru City.

But considering it was just a casual act, Nahida decided to help.

However, she was stopped by Han Feng.

"Don't go, let's finish the main storyline first, otherwise I'm afraid you will never be able to go to Sumeru City!"

Recalling the "Aranyaka" quest he did in his previous life, Han Feng felt a faint pain in his liver.

He just wanted to save someone.

Who knew that after accepting this quest, he would embark on a path of no return.

He ground it for more than 10 hours.

You have to know this is a side quest!!!

He played until he almost forgot what the main storyline was.

So much so that many players joked:

Fake main storyline: Sabzeruz Festival!

Real main storyline: Aranyaka!

"Alright!"

Although Nahida didn't know the situation, she knew something was wrong looking at Han Feng's pained expression.

It's better to wait until she figures out the specific situation in Sumeru before talking.

After nodding gently, she controlled Lumine to run away without looking back.

Following the small path upward, soon, she arrived in Sumeru City.

Like the previous Gandharva Ville, the Sumeru City in the game is also much smaller.

However, the general layout and buildings are all there.

After Lumine searched for the Lesser Lord Kusanali to no avail, the game entered the plot animation again.

【Paimon: Could it be that in the whole of Sumeru City, there isn't even one person interested in the Lesser Lord Kusanali?】

【Oh? Could it be that you are interested in Lord Lesser Lord Kusanali?】

……

"Dunyarzad?"

Seeing the character on the phone, Nahida was a bit surprised.

This should count as the first acquaintance she has seen.

But thinking about it, it's very normal.

Since it's a game produced with Sumeru as the background, it's normal for acquaintances to appear.

Perhaps even the Akademiya, and even she herself, will appear later.

Subsequently, in the chat with Dunyarzad, Nahida noticed a keyword.

【Sabzeruz Festival】

"On my birthday, the Akademiya opens the Akasha Terminal."

"It just so happens that the Traveler has come over again."

"So, will the major event be related to this?"

Some guesses flashed in Nahida's heart.

With guesses, she continued to play.

In Port Ormos, Nahida got two more key pieces of news.

【King Deshret's resurrection】

【The Akademiya lost canned knowledge in Aaru Village】

Nahida vaguely felt that there was a connection between these things.

But because there was too little information, she couldn't know for the time being.

However, Nahida understood one point.

That is, this matter is definitely not simple.

After the Port Ormos plot ended, the hint appeared that the Sabzeruz Festival was about to begin.

Noticing this, Nahida's spirit lifted.

"It's coming, let me see what will happen!"

Returning to Sumeru City through the Teleport Waypoint, Nahida found Dunyarzad.

However, the subsequent plot was very normal.

It was just the Traveler visiting the Sabzeruz Festival accompanied by Dunyarzad.

Except for the Dance of Sabzeruz being stopped by the Akademiya, nothing else happened.

"Could it be that I guessed wrong?"

Nahida frowned slightly.

And just at this moment, a sentence from the Grand Sage caught Nahida's attention.

【Sabzeruz Festival... you should celebrate the birth of the deity well.】

"The birth of the deity?"

"Could it be..."

Nahida was startled, and had a guess in her heart.

She didn't think this was a casual sentence.

After all, this was said by the Grand Sage.

And looking at that expression when he turned his head, it clearly had a deep meaning.

So this major event is actually the Akademiya wanting to resurrect the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata?

Before she could think more, the content displayed on the screen made Nahida's small face solemn.

【???: Beep——】

【???: All connections ensured, building the highest stability architecture.】

【???: The plan has entered the most critical stage, starting power export from——.】

"Is this the sound of the Akasha Terminal?"

"Is the Akademiya planning to plot against the people of Sumeru City?"

Although Nahida's strength is relatively weak.

But as the new Dendro Archon, the original Akasha Terminal, it can be said that no one knows the Akasha better than her.

Plus, she knows that the Akasha has been harvesting people's dreams.

With this information, she can quickly analyze the Akademiya's plot.

Sure enough, the subsequent game plot also stepped into the Sabzeruz Festival cycle.

Exactly as Nahida thought.

However, with her own help in the game, Lumine successfully saved Sumeru City.

"So she is the savior; I was misled before."

Nahida felt some apology in her heart.

But at the same time, she felt angry.

Although the people of Sumeru City almost didn't notice, if Lumine hadn't broken the cycle, perhaps the situation would have been even more serious.

This is the first time the Akademiya has gone off track!

"Even if it's to resurrect the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, fooling the people of Sumeru like this, and even disregarding the safety of their lives, is unforgivable!"

Seeing the anger on Nahida's small face, Han Feng shook his head slightly.

Such thoughts cannot be said to be wrong.

Before playing the 3.1 version, many people thought this way.

Who let the 3.0 version hint like this?

It was both missing the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata and looking down on the Lesser Lord Kusanali.

Then the birth of the deity must be the resurrection of the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata!
