Chapter 578 Searching for the Crimson King's Trail
Since his last reunion with the Little Auspicious Grass King after leaving Sumeru, the Little Grass God is undoubtedly much happier now than before.
The "birdcage" of the Pure Good Palace could no longer contain the exuberant body of this new god, and the many complex matters of Sumeru, under the handling of the strongest proxy sage in history, also presented an unprecedented smoothness.
But why, when Xu Ning looked at Nasita, who was standing in front of him with her hands outstretched and a smile on her face, did he always unconsciously associate her with a guy who liked to say "Hey hey hey"?
At least at this moment, the two gods, one old and one new, only showed a high degree of consistency in their expressions.
"You're clearly lying. Wasn't the memory sphere that the skirmisher took out handed over to me at your behest? How come you're saying there's not a single piece of information left?"
Nasita scrunched up her little face, putting on a helpless expression, and tapped her chin with her slender finger, saying, "What I gave you last time was all the information about you in the World Tree. Apart from the information about the Crimson King's Tomb that we haven't yet explored, we really can't find any other information."
Besides those related to the "Red King"?
Xu Ning frowned and pondered for a moment; he knew about the Crimson King's Tomb.
Legend has it that the land of Sumeru was once shared by three gods: the Red King, the Flower Goddess, and the Great Compassion Tree King. These three gods and demons were said to have a very good relationship and never fought each other.
However, what bothered him was the sentence Qingyi said when he first encountered his predecessor's memories in Xiachuan.
“…We seized Bouyer’s territory. Even if she and Amon joined forces, they wouldn’t be a match for you. Leave that vase to me…”
Buyer naturally refers to the Great Tree King, and the current Little Grass God inherits His name.
The one in green who is called "Vase" must be the Flower Goddess.
Xu Ning looked up at the Little Auspicious Grass King, "Is the name of that Crimson King... Among?"
Nasita nodded with a smile, "Yes, I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable about the Red King, Xu Ning. Did you know that the Cause Theory School, one of the six major schools of the Order of the Church, originated from the study of the Red King? It was a social science that was born from the refutation and reflection on the remnants of Red King theories in history. Oh, by the way, Ah Mao is currently studying at the Vahumana Academy. Would you like to come with me to take a look?"
Ah... Ah Mao?
Xu Ning was stunned for a long time, thinking through all the people he knew who wore hats, before finally connecting the image to the arrogant little face of the skirmisher.
Xu Ning took a sip of wine without saying a word.
Dislike the name you chose? Even though the name Xiyan was just something you made up on the spot, it's a hundred times better than A Mao from any angle!
"You're probably just using this ridiculous name on your own. Seriously, if you called him, would he even answer?"
Nasita proudly raised her chin, "I registered him at the Vahumana Academy using this name, and he even has a certificate!"
“Then I’ll have to greet him a lot when I see him. Let’s go, I’ve been here many times, but I’ve never actually seen your so-called six academies. It’s a good opportunity to go and see them with Belial.”
Upon hearing Xu Ning mention the white-haired woman who had been standing quietly behind him, Naxida turned around and took a closer look at her.
Xu Ning clearly saw a flash of green light on the small leaf at Nasita's temple. She must have used "All Aspects Followed" on Belial in an instant to explore information about this stranger.
However, judging from the fleeting surprise on Nasita's face, it can be inferred that He did not seem to have obtained the information He had expected.
On the way to the academy, Xu Ning could clearly see from the side that the light on Nasita's leaves kept flashing, guessing that the little guy was using the World Tree's permissions to search for knowledge related to Belial.
However, even after they stopped, Nasita didn't seem to have found any useful information. Accustomed to relying on her powers to acquire knowledge, the little grass god couldn't help but appear somewhat dejected when faced with insufficient information to make a judgment.
"If we have time, I'll tell you her story in more detail. Have we arrived yet? Is this... cooking?"
Xu Ning comforted the downcast Xiao Caoshen, but after she stopped walking, Xu Ning was surprised to find that they were standing outside what looked like a cooking classroom.
It must be said that the soldier's hat was quite conspicuous among the group of female scholars.
Xu Ning watched as he skillfully mixed the ingredients and put them into the pot. Although she couldn't tell what the dish was, she could tell from the faces of the several classmates standing next to him watching that the dish was made at a high level.
"Ah Mao's learning ability is the best I've ever seen. The courses of the Yinlun School are a piece of cake for me. However, in order to enrich Ah Mao's daily life, I voluntarily enrolled him in a cooking class..."
Listening to Naxida's story, Xu Ning couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.
"The cooking team's idea is absolutely brilliant! If he ever wants to compete with Balzeb again someday, let's have a cooking contest, he'll win for sure!"
Xu Ning took a sip of wine and spoke again, "Alright, seeing that everything is fine here, it wasn't a wasted trip. Since you don't have any information here, let's go look elsewhere. In the few memories of my predecessor, it seems that the Crimson King was mentioned. Let's go there and explore first."
Nasida tilted her head, looked at Xu Ning and smiled, "If you want to explore the Crimson King's Tomb, I have a good recommendation."
"It is said that the key to opening all the gates of the Red King's Mausoleum is in the hands of a student from the Vahumana Academy. If you can get your hands on it, I believe you will be able to move freely there and obtain useful information."
"Unfortunately, that student kept failing his research papers and went there the day before yesterday with the key. Since he didn't post any assistance requests with the Adventurers' Guild, it's difficult to find his current location. If you're lucky enough to run into him..."
Xu Ning hadn't expected such a coincidence; he had just decided to go to the tomb when the key was delivered to his door.
"Tell me the student's name."
Half a day later, Xu Ning and Belial appeared at the teleportation point in Aru Village.
"I only stayed in the desert area once. There are no more anchor points to start going further in. I can only explore on foot."
Xu Ning glanced at the endless yellow sand to the west and said, "We can buy some supplies here in Aru Village and also find out about that Tirzade. If he came into the desert from Kawanyi, then Aru Village is a necessary stop."
