Chapter 7 Come to my house
"Joy belongs to the hostess of flowers and moonlight, authority belongs to the king of the sea of sand, life belongs to the nourisher of plants and trees..." Kavi read slowly. Ancient characters were not his major, but he still taught himself ancient Sumeru characters when he decided to study the Red King.
After learning the ancient Xumi language, he was able to read most historical materials. The more he learned about the Red King, the more fascinated he became. However, history was either written by the Red King's sacrifices or by the victors of the power struggle in later generations. Its authenticity needs to be investigated, and there are indeed many contradictions in the existing historical materials.
As Kawi read on, his expression became serious: "Elhaisen, what is the relationship between the Red King, the Flower God, and the Tree King? Did the Flower God really plot against the Red King?"
"This is not a place suitable for discussing academic issues. Too much time has passed, and the Flower God's true thoughts have been lost in the long river of history. I will not attempt to draw a conclusion on this matter through clues and speculations in the records.
Of course, if you just want to ask for my opinion, I can only say that the mistress of the flower who is rumored to pursue death, the 'first generation of wisdom god' who was plotted against by his lover and went astray, and the 'second generation of wisdom god' who indulged the Red King and indirectly caused the spread of the curse, they are all good research subjects," said Elhaisen.
Kavi showed a look of disdain: "I must find some junior students who can answer my questions directly to replace you."
"Please go ahead," Elhaisen said, raising the corners of his mouth by two pixels, "if this is what you really think."
"Forget it, I'd better admire the decoration of my junior's house one more time. I would rather be alone with the replica of a famous painting that costs five thousand Mora!" Kavi snorted coldly and distanced himself from Elhaisen.
"Senior, do you like the painting I bought?" Haroldt finally changed his clothes and came out of the bedroom. He washed his face and applied peppermint essential oil on his temples with his thumb.
Looking in the mirror, he discovered that his dark circles had returned.
That was the medal he earned for staying in the Palace of Wisdom for three consecutive days and sleeping only three hours a day.
Acquiring new knowledge was really exciting for him. He tried to adjust his sleep time to five hours a day and force himself to rest.
But he failed, because the exposure to knowledge kept his brain in an excited state and he couldn't fall asleep at all. As long as he lay in bed, he couldn't help but recall the magical creatures of the continent of Teyvat and conceived a complete knowledge framework in his mind.
Sometimes, memories of past lives would be mixed in, and he seemed to see himself painting flowers with gouache in a high school studio.
The smell of peppermint essential oil and the dark circles under Harold's eyes naturally couldn't be hidden from Kavi, so he asked with some concern: "Junior, have you been under a lot of pressure from studying recently?"
"No, no, I don't feel any pressure," Harold said. "I just read books I like when I see them."
Harold pinched the bridge of his nose. "If there is anything that gives me pressure, it must be the amount of books in the Wisdom Palace. I am worried that I will never be able to finish reading them in my lifetime. By the way, is there something important that the seniors came to see me today?"
Harold said this, glancing at Elhaisen who was sitting on the sofa without saying a word.
This is a normal reaction when a person is curious about another person. Harold didn't ask before, but that doesn't mean he wasn't curious.
That was the living Brother Hai! The Brother Hai who led him through the abyss in his previous life!
Finally saw a living one, and at such a close distance.
A little excited.
Harold did not hide his curious look.
Judging from Kavi's age, El Haisen is only 16 years old now. He still has some baby fat on his face, but his facial features are three-dimensional, his green eyes are very bright, and his dark eyebrows are raised, which makes him look not childish at all.
Elhaisen's hair color belongs to the same silver series as his, but Elhaisen's hair color is obviously silver-gray. Compared with the silver-white color of his hair, the difference is obvious. Elhaisen's hair color is much darker, and the ends of his hair also add the gradient color element that Mihoyo's original artist loves most, which is the same as Kavi and his hair.
What is quite special is the long hair on top of El Haisen's head.
The first time Harold saw Elhaisen in this world, he was speaking on the stage as a representative of the students of Sravastiha College. At that time, he was still wearing the college hat that symbolized his identity as a student of Sravastiha College. Harold could not see and did not consider whether Elhaisen would have ahoge.
But today, although Kavi and Elhaisen were still wearing the student uniforms issued by the School of Religion, they were not wearing hats. It was the first time that Harold saw the ahoge on Elhaisen's head.
It has not been harmonized and its presence is still quite strong.
It was like a Möbius strip cut in half, clinging to the top of Elhaisen's head, and half was gray and half was gray-green.
Wow, even a professional cosplayer would say, "There's no need to restore it so authentically?!" or "Are you trying to kill us by doing this?"
This aho hair looks very elastic, as if it would stand up immediately if you pressed it down with your hand.
Somehow, this disrespectful thought suddenly arose in Harold's mind.
The key point is that Elhaisen's cute two-color ahoge does not shake his position as the Bking in Haroldt's heart at all.
Maybe it’s because his aura is too strong, and just sitting there gives people a feeling of “keep away”.
"It's about the society I mentioned before," Kaviko perked up when he said this. He handed the application form he had just received to Haroldt. "The name of the society is confirmed to be [DSRT], and there are only three of us for the time being. Hey, Elhaisen, could you please put down the book in your hand and introduce yourself to our junior?"
Kavi pressed Elhaisen's shoulder hard.
"I thought you should have introduced me to him before that," said Alhaisen, but he still put the book in his hand aside and looked at Harold and said, "I am Alhaisen, a good friend of Kavi and a student of Shravarman College."
"Nice to meet you, Senior Alhaisen. I'm Harold, a student at Amirido College," Harold said. "I feel honored to have the opportunity to study with you seniors."
"Didn't you say, 'Helping others introduce themselves will allow my subjective opinion to affect your objective judgment'? Now you are blaming me for not helping you introduce yourself? Elhaisen, you'd better sleep with your eyes open tonight, and don't give me the chance to put a desert scorpion on your bed," Kavi muttered in dissatisfaction.
After the two exchanged names, he said, "Next we need to determine the time and length of the weekly activities, and then I can apply to the Magisterium for the use of the academy's venues."
"Sorry, Senior Kavi, I have a question," Harold raised his hand, "If we apply for a venue, can we apply for it in any college? Or because Senior Kavi belongs to Sahavalo College, can we only choose the venue of Sahavalo College?"
"Not really. Every year the House of Lords selects some unused venues for scholars to carry out academic activities. Of course, the environment can be good or bad, so every year when the day for redividing the venue comes, there will be a bloody storm," Kavi said, shaking his head.
Kavi: "But we don't have to think about this problem. It's already the second half of the year, and everything that should be snatched has been snatched up - why are you all looking at me like that?! Is it my problem? Hey, hey, even if I didn't spend half a month thinking about the name of the society, it's already the second half of the year! No matter how dissatisfied I am with this year, this is the only way. You don't want me to wait until next year to start researching, do you?"
"But senior, although I just came to Xumi, I know how popular the Xumi society is. The venue that has not been picked up in half a year...could it be the storage room?" said Haroldt.
"As for the utility room, it can be used if we spend some time to clean it up..." Kavi looked conflicted, "...I'm sorry, I didn't think it through. I'll think of another way. If that doesn't work, I'll just rent another house."
"No, no, no, how can it be the senior's problem? What I want to say is, if the Institute of Religious Affairs cannot arrange a suitable venue for us, can we simply not apply for it and hold the event at my house?" Harold said hurriedly.
He didn't want to make Kavi blame himself. He was not completely ignorant of the society. He had already checked the issue of the society's venue in the void a long time ago. Asking Kavi questions was just to naturally lead to his proposal.
If you ask him why he did this, it is because the house he rented was not big, and it was difficult to arrange a room for ten people to conduct academic research.
In this way, as long as Kavi agrees with his proposal, he can reduce the number of members in the society. As long as the number of people is small enough, Elhaisen and Kavi will not have to quarrel over the personnel issues of the paper in the future, and the two of them will not break up because of this.
Although Kawi has only set up a society now, looking at the time, it is almost time for them to write a paper together in the game.
Moreover, Kavi's society is studying the Red King. Judging from the topic, the prospects are bright and there are many things that can be studied.
Harold had no doubt that this society, which was originally established for the purpose of joint research, would soon become a hotbed for important academic papers and would attract many people who had no talent but wanted to get a piece of the pie. It would also become the fuse that ignited the conflict between Kavi and Elhaisen.
He was going to cut off this fuse at the root now.
perfect.
It would be better if the two seniors could remain as close as they are now.
Harold really wanted to know how he came up with this idea. He was so smart.
"Borrow your house? Will that cause you any trouble?" Kavi couldn't help but look at the paintings on the wall, and then his gaze turned to the exquisite imitation sculptures on the table.
The room that my junior brother carefully decorated is a work of art in itself, but not everyone knows how to cherish this work of art.
"I trust Senior Kavi and the members selected by him," Harold said slowly.
Why do I feel so nauseous? Harold thought.
Did I awaken some strange attribute without any guidance?
This is not good. I was not that kind of person in my past life!
No!
Kavi: “But…”
"Then why not come to my house," Elhaisen interrupted what Kavi was about to say, "But first, I have a lot of books at home, and I hate a noisy research environment, so I hope you can limit the number of people to less than five, and also keep a close eye on the personnel. Don't let in those who can't even control their hands and feet."
"Don't make decisions on your own! I'm the president of the society!" Kavi was shocked by the shamelessness of this man.
How could anyone skip the initiator of the society and directly arrange the number of people? Does this guy El Haisen know how to respect his seniors?
"Do you have any other ideas?" Elhaisen asked Kavi, then turned to look at Haroldt with a hint of amusement, "Or does this junior have any better ideas?"
At that moment, Harold felt that Elhaisen had seen through him.
He felt his heartbeat suddenly speed up.
Shocked.
However, the other party did not expose his conspiracy, but instead helped him to further reduce the number of members in the society.
Elhaisen's position was clear, and Harold relaxed when he thought of this.
In a word, let senior Kavi screen people for me.
I just want to say that your Brother Hai is still your Brother Hai.
"Well, I really can't think of a better way, Elhaisen, you win," Kavi scratched his hair irritably.
Poor, kind-hearted senior Kavi had no idea that he would be betrayed by two of his trusted junior classmates.
Maybe he was still blaming himself in his heart for not being able to find a more suitable venue.
Harold began to sympathize with Kavi. What kind of little angel senior is this? Woohoo, senior Kavi is Xumi’s treasure. The world cannot live without Kavi.
