Tighnari did not act rashly, because he knew that rushing out now would only alert the enemy.
It was better to wait for an opportunity.
And then completely wipe out everyone.
Otherwise, if any evidence was left behind, it would be easy for it to lead back to him.
Several hours later.
Vanarana.
A small bird appeared in front of Tighnari.
He understood that this was the Little Grass God, so he followed it out of the place.
In the forest.
The little bird spoke, "How is the situation?"
"I never expected those scholars to be so utterly insane. I saved the children, but I can't send them away."
After interrogation.
It turned out that these children had all been selected by the scholars under the pretense of studying abroad.
So sending them back would instead cause trouble.
Therefore, Tighnari could only use a kind of medicine to temporarily put them into a deep sleep.
"It seems you trust me."
Faced with the Grass God's question.
Tighnari sighed and said, "To know my situation in such detail and to be able to use such powerful spells, aside from the Little Grass Lord, I can think of no other possibility."
"That's good. We can discuss the details slowly. I only have one requirement for you: secrecy."
Nahida's identity absolutely could not be exposed.
Therefore, if Tighnari wanted to recruit people.
He had to use another name and could not involve her directly.
Tighnari understood this very clearly.
The Grass God was sealed. If he leaked anything, he would never be able to communicate with her again.
At this moment, Nahida also pointed out a path for him.
"If you cannot contact me and feel that the situation is urgent, you can contact the comic shop owner in Liyue, Mr. Su Han. He is our benefactor and someone you can trust."
"The comic shop owner? Alright, I understand."
Although Tighnari was a little surprised by the identity, since a god had said it, he naturally would not doubt it.
Afterward, Nahida gave him a list.
There were quite a few people on it who could be trusted.
Among them were the names of Dunyarzad, Nilou, and Dehya.
"It seems I'll be very busy for a while."
Although Tighnari was not good at managing an organization, when the crisis of a nation was placed before him, even if he was forced into it, he had to give it everything he had.
Otherwise, innocent citizens would die at the hands of those beasts every day.
At the harbor.
Comic shop.
When Xingqiu heard that the Grass God had used the Den Den Mushi last night, he was immediately shocked.
"What? The Grass God, my heavens. What did she say…"
"She asked for help."
"Huh?"
Xingqiu felt like he had misheard, but when Su Han repeated it again, he finally reacted.
The god of Sumeru was actually asking for help!
"What exactly is going on?"
Although Xingqiu was a chuunibyou youth, he still had some interest in saving the world.
Seeing his interest, Su Han told him everything in detail.
When he heard that the sages of Sumeru had imprisoned their own god, the young man's sense of justice burst forth.
"This is practically the beginning of an epic story! Su Han, can we lend a hand? If this gets spread around, I, Xingqiu, will also become a heroic figure."
"You really want to get involved?"
Su Han was full of surprise. He had not expected Xingqiu to actually want to help.
Xingqiu nodded repeatedly and said, "Of course. Defeating villains and saving a nation, isn't that exactly what Luffy has done? I want to try it too."
Just thinking about it made his blood boil.
A god imprisoned.
A foolish Grand Sage Azar.
A chaotic nation.
Wasn't this exactly the kind of adventure story he had always dreamed of?
Listening to Xingqiu's passionate response, a strange idea suddenly came to Su Han.
"What if, after dealing with Inazuma, I directly issue a super commission in Sumeru?"
The influence of comics was expanding.
If Su Han issued a commission to save a nation, he was certain that countless adventurers would flood into that land. Just imagining that scene was thrilling.
When Sumeru City was surrounded by countless adventurers.
When the Grand Sage was hoisted onto the city walls.
When everything was exposed.
Then the problems of Sumeru could be resolved with ease.
All he needed to spend was a sum of Mora and an epic story.
The so-called adventurers were already more or less influenced by comics, and the incident in Sumeru would be the perfect trigger.
The more Su Han thought about it, the more excited he became.
It really seemed worth trying.
If it succeeded, could he use countless adventurers from around the world to besiege Snezhnaya?
As for the problem of insufficient strength.
At worst, he would publicly release the training methods of the two types of Haki.
After all, with the system, no one could surpass him in Haki.
"Hey, Su Han, what are you muttering about? What about what I just said?"
"What?"
He had just been lost in thought.
He had no idea what Xingqiu had said.
"I mean, what should I do now? I want to be a hero."
Making money.
For Xingqiu, it was no longer interesting.
As long as he sold comics, Mora would pour in endlessly. It no longer gave him any sense of satisfaction.
He wanted to experience something more exciting.
Su Han smiled and said, "Alright. Then go register as an adventurer and form an adventuring party. As for missions, I'll issue them to you."
He was now a distinguished guest of the Adventurers' Guild and could issue cross-nation commissions.
Xingqiu grinned and said, "No problem. I'll make you look at me in a whole new light!"
The two discussed some details.
Soon, Xingqiu began to take action.
As for the comic business, it could be left to the steward.
Speaking of this old steward.
At first, he was unwilling to let Xingqiu go on adventures, but Xingqiu had already made up his mind and insisted on making something of himself.
At that moment, the steward understood that he could no longer restrain him.
A young eagle must eventually soar into the sky.
All he could do was provide logistical support.
After hanging up the call.
Su Han returned to his leisurely state.
As for the training of Diluc and Mona, he did not pay much attention, because he had already told them the key points.
Moreover, Diluc had already gotten started.
Now he just needed to keep tempering himself.
Unexpectedly.
Just as the call ended.
The fox from Inazuma called.
And the moment she spoke, her voice was full of complaints.
"Oh my, Boss Su is truly a busy man. Just to call you, I had to wait in line for two hours. What could possibly be more important than chatting with a beautiful fox spirit like me?"
"Uh… it was somewhat important."
"Let me hear it."
Yae Miko sensed gossip.
She immediately became energized.
She even had her subordinates bring over freshly made fried tofu.
She planned to listen to gossip while eating tofu.
Now that was what life should be.
However, what Yae Miko did not expect was that the moment she tossed a piece of tofu into her mouth, she heard explosive news.
"It's about Sumeru. The Grass God asked me for help yesterday."
"Ah!"
As soon as Su Han finished speaking, a miserable cry came from the other end of the call.
He was stunned.
What was that fox doing? Why did she sound like she was in so much pain?
On Mount Yougou.
Yae Miko stuck out her pink tongue, fanning it frantically with her hand, tears streaming down from the pain.
