Chapter 327
Anyway, for someone like Dottore, whether it was becoming a Fatui in Snezhnaya or joining the Abyss, it actually made no difference.
The key was his own interests.
Dottore placed the Delusion on the instrument in front of him, then took out the canned knowledge he had prepared beforehand, and began to inject Forbidden Knowledge into the Delusion. The process was very smooth, which also made Dottore happy in his heart.
It succeeded, as expected. Then let me see to what extent that guy Scaramouche can do.
………………………………………………………………
"You said that the Grand Sage previously dispatched the Eremites and the Fatui together to search for Forbidden Knowledge in the desert, and brought these Forbidden Knowledge back as canned knowledge through canning?" Cyno was completely dumbfounded after hearing the words of Alhaitham in front of him.
Canned knowledge was already taboo in Sumeru, and adding Forbidden Knowledge to it—this wasn't just a simple one-plus-one problem.
As the Grand Sage, how could Azar do such a thing?
"He even handed over Sumeru's city defense to the Fatui. Do you think there is anything he cannot do?" Alhaitham crossed his arms, his tone indifferent: "What we need to consider now is not why Azar would do this, but how to stop him.
If I couldn't solve this matter alone, I wouldn't have come to find you."
Cyno also frowned upon hearing this. As the General Mahamatra, he was also quite resistant to Azar handing over part of the city defense to the Fatui.
Where in the world would a country hand over its own city defense?
This was simply outrageous.
If other countries found out, Sumeru would become a laughingstock for every country.
But Azar did it, and Cyno didn't have much power to stop him.
Moreover, the others supported Azar's behavior.
Because of the Fatui's joining, Sumeru's situation had indeed improved quite a bit; at least those monsters had been eliminated quite a bit.
But now Alhaitham told him that Azar and the others were targeting Forbidden Knowledge, which also made Cyno fall into deep thought.
"I will go and investigate clearly." Although he was very unwilling to admit it, Cyno truly didn't believe in the integrity of Azar and the others. The most critical thing was that he didn't understand; Azar couldn't possibly not know the harm of Forbidden Knowledge.
Over the years, the Akademiya had also been investigating the truth of the Withering Zones, discovering that it was related to Forbidden Knowledge, but the former Dendro Archon, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, had explicitly forbidden the study of Forbidden Knowledge.
So what exactly was Azar trying to do?
If Azar was really researching some messy things, then he absolutely couldn't sit idly by.
"I advise you not to act rashly. Currently, in Sumeru, there are not only Eremites but also a large number of Fatui." Seeing Cyno wanting to leave in high spirits, Alhaitham reminded him.
"The person who told me this is you, and the person who won't let me investigate this is also you. What exactly are you trying to do?" Cyno stared at Alhaitham coldly.
His relationship with Alhaitham wasn't good to begin with.
But Cyno also knew that the other couldn't be shooting arrows without a target in these matters.
"Neither I nor you can solve this matter, and we might even encounter danger and pay the price with our lives. So this time, I want to invite you to find someone with me—someone who can answer all doubts." Alhaitham said with a serious tone.
"Who?" Cyno was somewhat dumbfounded. Did they have such a person in Sumeru?
Why didn't he know?
It couldn't be going directly to ask Azar, right?
The other wouldn't really tell them the whole truth, right?
"Lesser Lord Kusanali!" Alhaitham spat out these five words unhurriedly.
"What?" This time, Cyno was also shocked. To be honest, if Alhaitham hadn't mentioned Lesser Lord Kusanali at this moment, Cyno would have truly forgotten about her.
Oh right, they still had a Dendro Archon in Sumeru.
"According to my investigation, for these five hundred years, Lesser Lord Kusanali has been imprisoned in the Sanctuary of Surasthana by the Akademiya.
At this time, we must have the power and reputation to investigate the Akademiya, and we must rescue Lesser Lord Kusanali." Wisdom flashed in Alhaitham's eyes.
Originally, he didn't want to pay much attention to these things, but Azar and the others didn't act like humans.
They actually started researching Forbidden Knowledge.
He highly suspected that if Azar were allowed to continue like this,
Sumeru might be finished. He just wanted to study quietly. Damn Azar.
So at this time, they must rescue Lesser Lord Kusanali; at least she was the true orthodox.
"Lesser Lord Kusanali?" Cyno hesitated for a while upon hearing this, then agreed. Sumeru was the Dendro Archon's country; they were never wrong to go see Lesser Lord Kusanali.
Moreover, if the Dendro Archon was truly imprisoned, then they indeed needed to rescue her.
This was the responsibility of the General Mahamatra. He didn't know before that Lesser Lord Kusanali was imprisoned.
"Are you looking for me?" At this moment, a sweet voice appeared beside them. This time, Alhaitham and Cyno discovered that there was a little girl beside them without them knowing.
How did the other do it?
"Are you Lesser Lord Kusanali?" Alhaitham's eyes flickered slightly. Although he was asking, his tone was incomparably certain.
"What?" Cyno was also dumbfounded looking at Nahida upon hearing this. Is this their Sumeru's Dendro Archon?
Quite cute...
It was just that there was a big gap from the image of the God of Wisdom in his mind.
However, this wise look shouldn't be wrong.
"I am Nahida! Of course, I am also the Lesser Lord Kusanali you speak of." Nahida looked at Alhaitham and said: "I didn't expect that the Scribe Alhaitham would find the truth of the matter.
Originally, I thought I would have to spend a lot of effort to invite you to help me stop Azar's plan. His behavior is destroying Sumeru. Now it seems I can save a lot of words."
"According to my investigation, Lesser Lord Kusanali, you should be trapped in the Sanctuary of Surasthana, right?" Alhaitham asked with some doubt.
Could it be that his investigation was wrong?
This Lesser Lord Kusanali wasn't imprisoned?
"I was indeed imprisoned before, but I am a god after all." Nahida's eyes flickered, implying something: "The increase in Withering Zones and the worsening of Eleazar disease during this period forced me to come out to solve these problems.
Moreover, Alhaitham, you are right. Azar and the others are conducting some experiments that will destroy Sumeru.
Experiments that the Fatui dare not conduct in their own country, Azar is attempting. By then, regardless of whether his experiment succeeds or not, Sumeru might be finished."
"What kind of experiment is it?" Alhaitham didn't doubt Nahida saying she had to come out.
After all, the other looked like a little girl, but she was still the Dendro Archon, the God of Wisdom. It should be very difficult to truly trap her, right?
It was just that now was the time when she had to come out.
"What does Azar want to do with Forbidden Knowledge?" Cyno also couldn't help but ask.
"They want to use Forbidden Knowledge to create a god, a god commanded by humans, a god created by humans." Nahida didn't hide it, but instead observed the reactions of the two silently.
According to Nahida's own planning, these two would become her right-hand men in the future.
Perhaps Alhaitham and Cyno didn't have much faith and loyalty to her, but in Nahida's view, it didn't matter.
As the Dendro Archon, she would allow them to.
As long as she did well enough, she believed that in the future, they would also recognize her as the Dendro Archon.
"The other gods couldn't possibly allow such a thing to happen, right?
I suppose this matter is a taboo for Teyvat.
Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, Sumeru is guilty for doing so." A glimmer of light flashed in Alhaitham's eyes, and he quickly analyzed the truth.
"Yes! Although the Geo Archon of Liyue, the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt, and the Raiden Shogun of Inazuma have been temporarily persuaded by me, we must resolve this matter." Nahida said with a serious tone: "The other gods are not as easy to talk to as them."
