Chapter 270: The Caged Bird
Sumeru is the kingdom of wisdom.
This is not a description or a compliment, but a fact that is accepted throughout the continent of Teyvat.
Here, knowledge is regarded as a resource, and all people's achievements are related to knowledge and scholarship.
The supreme governing body of Sumeru City, the six sages of the Akademiya, control the most important special system in the entire Sumeru.
Void.
Outwardly, the Void is a suspended device in the shape of a green leaf worn over a person's ears.
But the technical content in it far exceeds the most sci-fi imagination of foreigners for Sumeru.
In Teyvat, a place where the level of science and technology has not surpassed the industrial age, the void of Sumeru City has reached the level of tens of millions of people to share data.
Almost any Sumeru citizen with the status of the Land of Grass can obtain the Void and search for the knowledge you want in it.
However, this is not without cost.
Identity and status limit one's ability to pursue the highest levels of knowledge, and residents living in rainforest areas and within cities can acquire any knowledge related to their profession, as well as relatively much knowledge.
And the "desert people" who live in the desert area, which are different from the beliefs of the people in the rainforest area, can only get a little, if not a little, of the poor knowledge.
Possess knowledge but are unwilling to share, get knowledge but be satisfied with the status quo, and would rather plagiarize than explore themselves.
Can such "wisdom" really be called wisdom?
……………
Fortunately, Yaoluo's appeal was completely different, he did not crave ordinary knowledge, and the purpose of his trip was to explore the traces of the gods.
The god of wisdom, the god of grass, Bouyer.
Strangely, after Yao Luo stepped into the realm of Sumeru City, he rarely heard of the "Little Auspicious Grass King", which is now the nickname of the god of wisdom.
The students looked down and were busy with their academic reports, their eyes full of confusion and data, and they didn't even want to take a second look at the flowers blooming on the side of the road.
Only when praying to the gods and worshiping the Buddha did he recite the name of the gods of the previous generation, the King of the Great Mercy Tree.
These high-ranking scholars are not as artistic as the third-rate traders they despise.
It is only here that Yaoluo can occasionally hear the honorific name of "Little Auspicious Grass King".
The building in the center of Sumeru City is attached to a towering tree, which also symbolizes people's admiration and nostalgia for the ancestor grass god, the King of the Great Mercy Tree, and at the root of this tree, the place called "Grand Bazaar" is Yaoluo's goal this time.
Coming to a casual restaurant, Yaoluo ordered a table of dishes with Sumeru characteristics, sat on a chair, and prepared to start searching.
Closing his eyes, the method that Yao Luo wanted to use was naturally his usual method, spiritual power search.
I have to say that this method is too efficient, no need to do it, the real perspective hidden under the material world is spread out layer by layer in front of Yaoluo's eyes, like a data map observed by radar.
Layer after layer, wave-like spiritual power swept through the crowd and finally concentrated on the top of this towering tree.
Different from the size in the game, the main city of Sumeru in reality, just under this giant tree that obviously violates the growth laws of nature, hundreds of thousands of Sumeru people live.
If they are compared to the soil of a big tree, the fruit that bears on the crown of laurels is the abode of the gods of Sumeru today.
Jingshan Palace.
The golden and elegant hall, the white marble bricks and tiles are like the dreams condensed by the mystical students of Sumeru, and even the door that has not been opened for a hundred years is as clean as new.
The grass elemental power of the land of Sumeru is continuously imported from countless rhizomes, and then circulated to the major regions through some kind of device, and then transmitted to the void worn by everyone's ears.
"I see, the essence of the void is to use the divine heart of the grass god as an energy operation hub, and only in this way can it support the entire country and countless people to use the void."
Yao Luo nodded, this connection method is not inferior to the search engine used by people in technologically advanced cities, and even to a certain extent, as long as this grass god wants to, the void can evolve into a more ideal form.
However, Yao Luo can be sure that the current god of grass cannot do this.
Because, the right to use the heart of the god is not in the grass god himself.
This is an extremely outrageous thing in any country, and besides, the god of grass did not voluntarily give up this right, but was forced.
"The gods of Sumeru, are they actually imprisoned in their own palaces?"
Yao Luo's expression became strange, and he could feel that the body containing the power of the grass element, which was countless times more powerful than ordinary people, was being placed in the depths of the Pure Shan Palace today.
Through the palace wall, Yao Luo saw the appearance of the god of grass.
The limbs are as white as jade, the immature skin is draped with a children's dress that seems to be carved from plants and trees, and the childish child with white hair is like snow, and his body exudes a profound and vast atmosphere, like a bodhisattva with an epiphany in Buddhism.
Her temperament is remarkable, but the way she exists is not free, and the huge grass elemental sphere envelops her, making her whole person like a canary placed in a delicate cage.
Yao Luo's spiritual power swept over, and the grass god was like a child disturbed in a deep sleep, his eyes moved slightly, but he couldn't make more movements to respond.
Seeing this situation, Yao Luo didn't dare to act rashly, not because he couldn't break this barrier, but because the current state of the grass god was like a child who had been sleepwalking, and this sleep was a full five hundred years.
Once this layer of window paper is punctured, her spirit will inevitably be damaged.
And the god of grass, as the center of the Void device, if he wants to contact her, Yao Luo thinks that he can only start from the void.
But with Yaoluo's status as a foreigner, he would not be so easily certified by Sumeru's Void.
Of course, Yao Luo can also use the power of fate to plant a "false memory" for the staff who issued the void.
But for the sake of this trivial matter, it is necessary to modify a person's memory, and Yaoluo feels that it is not necessary.
For the Lord has come.
"Hello, sir, may I sit here?"
A nice voice came from the side, and a woman was asking Yaoluo for advice.
"You can't do it."
And the appearance of this woman is the guide who never walks out of the Adventurers' Guild on weekdays, Catherine.
"I didn't expect you to be so efficient."
Yaoluo indifferently talked to the woman opposite, obviously the two met for the first time.
"But I've been waiting for a long time, ever since that day's 'touch'."
Catherine's eyes flashed with a hint of green, which was the light of the grass element.
