Chapter 13 Hazard: I, Hazard, invested in this project

That night, Zacharias carefully read the stack of research plans written by Harold, and once again couldn't help but exclaimed twelve "good"s, and exclaimed, "My disciple Harold has the qualities of a great sage."

Harold: Oh my god! When will I be able to stop digging my toes into the ground when I hear the words “having the demeanor of a great sage”?

At the same time, Zachariah told Harold seriously that although the stack of things was good, he could not take all of them to the Great Sage to see. He only had to take the top one, "Improving the Sugar Making Process to Reduce the Price of Refined Sugar and Increase the Happiness Index of Xumi People". Handing over the others would only lower the Great Sage's evaluation of you.

Harold knew that Zacharias was thinking about his own future, but what good future could Azar see?

Seeing Harold's disapproving look, Zachariah advised, "Being favored by the Great Sage will definitely be of great benefit to your future development. The current Sage even has an assistant who was born in the desert. She was chosen by the Great Sage and was allowed to stay in the Church Order after graduation. You are still young, and there will be many opportunities to show your talents in the future. There is no need to go against the Sage now."

Harold argued, "Teacher, is staying with the Sage as an assistant a good career path? If I study at the Church of the Holy Spirit for a few years, and after graduation I can only serve tea and water to the Sage and sort out documents, then I would rather stay at the Church of the Holy Spirit for a few more years. At least as a scholar at the Church of the Holy Spirit, I can continue my research."

And the genius scholar who was born in the desert mentioned by Zechariah, was she willing to be a sage's assistant? If she was really a scholar who could catch the sage's eye, staying in the academy as a tutor would be better than being a sage's assistant, right? Was she really not pua?

Zachariah said hurriedly, "Harold, I am just giving an example that is closer to us. You are of course different from that Miss Setare. Your identity is not that embarrassing. If you are favored by the sage, you will have many more options than her."

Zachariah patted the first document Harold gave him and said confidently: "I dare say that if the sage reads this document, he may consider re-electing the sage of the Life Theory School on the spot. Then you may become the youngest sage of our Amiritto Academy, and I will be the mentor who trained the youngest sage."

Harold: The sage who appoints people based on merit you mentioned is Azar? I would have believed it if I hadn't known that the sages of the theory of life and the theory of cause were imprisoned later in the plot.

"Teacher, is it really that easy? I am not even a Dhāsata now, so I am not qualified to run for the sage," Harold had to interrupt his teacher's daydream.

"Of course I didn't dare to think about it before, but now the Great Sage has absolute say among the six sages. As long as he nods, it is not impossible for him to directly promote you to a sage," Zachariah vowed. "Besides, isn't your reputation in Amyrito College very high? If the Great Sage insists on supporting you to become a sage of the Life Theory School, the opposition will not be too loud."

Harold: "Teacher, you are joking. I don't have any reputation."

Harold thought to himself: I have only been in Xumi for a week. I have either been spending my time reading in the Palace of Wisdom or being chased by the Gilded Brigade and the Thirty-Man Group. Where does my reputation come from?

Zacharias: "No? But I often hear students in the academy whispering about you, saying that you are some kind of 'Amirita God of War', and praising you for your good use of the 'Sumeru Ancient Characters', saying that even scholars of the Zhilun School cannot compare to you."

Harold: ...

Damn, is the name "Amirita God of War" so widely spread?

Is it good to use "Xumeru Ancient Characters"? Is it good to use it in the physical sense?

Seeing Harold remained silent, Zachariah thought he was shy and laughed, "You've only been in school for a week, but everyone in Amyrito College already knows you. You really are worthy of being my chosen disciple. You really have the qualities of a great sage. Harold, you actually want to hide it from me. Tell me, why is it the 'Amyrito God of War'? Was it you who won glory for our Amyrito College by debating with many scholars at the debate held by the Decree House, and defeated the scholars from the other five colleges?"

Zechariah made no secret of his curiosity.

Harold: ...

Harold: Ababa Ababa Ababa

Is there anyone who doesn’t know about Ami Rido College?

So exaggerated? !

Will this dark history accompany me for the rest of my life? From now on, when people talk about Harold, the first thing they think of is "Harold, the god of war Amirudo who defeated the Gilded Brigade at the age of 15 using the "Sumeru Ancient Characters"?"

Harold felt a black screen before his eyes: It's over, my life is completely over. Is there anything more socially dead than this?

After a pause, Harold said sincerely: "Teacher, I believe you don't want to know the truth. I beg you, for the sake of your apprentice's reputation and your own reputation, let's not mention the name 'Amiritto God of War' anymore."

After saying that, he quickly added: "So is 'having the qualities of a great sage'."

He was almost embarrassed.

Zachariah shook his head: "Young scholars nowadays are really shy. Okay, okay, I won't mention it."

Then the two of them discussed the plan to be submitted to the sage. In the end, Zacharias could not persuade Harold and agreed to hand over his plan in its entirety to the current sage of the Assumption School, Nafis.

Since he had agreed to his apprentice's request, Zacharias did not bother to secretly throw away part of his apprentice's documents. The next morning, he immediately rushed to the House of Decrees to hand over the documents to Nafis.

Nafis was also amazed at Harold's brilliant ideas. After reading Harold's plan carefully, he told Zacharias that half of these plans might fail.

Half of these were euphemisms from Nafis. He knew that even if he submitted all of Harold's plans to Azar and supported Harold in the name of a sage of the Vitalist school, Azar would not approve all of Harold's plans.

He was very optimistic about Harold's talent and his idea of ​​seeking welfare for all Xumi people. However, this was the current trend in the House of the Decree. Although Harold would not be persecuted, his research that would benefit the desert residents would not receive a positive response from the great sage.

Knowing Azar's temperament, he knew that Azar would never allocate funds for those studies.

Thinking of this, Nafis sighed heavily.

If this continues, the conflict between the residents of the Sumeru rainforest and the desert residents will only get worse. However, he, the selected sage of the Asanga school, is of no use at all. He can't even help a talented scholar from the Amirita Academy.

Even so, he still remembered the name "Harold" firmly and planned to talk to Zacharias about this special young scholar in the future.

...

...

The next day at three o'clock in the afternoon, in the teaching courtyard.

Azar threw a report in his hand on the desk, where there were already a bunch of reports and letters sent to him scattered around. Azar basically only read a few lines before throwing them aside.

Imaging microscope, element measuring instrument, language recognizer...

Are you showing these things to him because you think he, a great sage, has a lot of free time?

It's not that these studies are bad. If you want funding from the Ministry of Education, you can go through the process directly. If these studies are really valuable, the funds will be approved within fifteen working days at most after the review by the various colleges. Why do we have to ask the great sage to look at everything in person now?

The above things can be said to be the result of the young and energetic scholars' eagerness to prove their research ability to the Council of Religious Affairs. Their mentor is also eager to learn talents, and he can understand their feelings.

But what does it mean to hand over "Symphony No. 1 in B flat major" and "Proposal for the Greening Construction of Xumi City"? !

Do you think he can understand it? Or do you want this great sage from the Minglun School to take some time out of his busy schedule to appreciate the music and landscape art created by the Miaolun School?

There is still too much money allocated to the Sahavala College, which makes them have the time to study such useless things all day long.

These people are simply a bunch of parasites living in our country which is full of rationality and wisdom.

Azar immediately decided to cut the funding allocated to the Sahavartha College by another quarter.

The Miaolun school has declined.

Ever since Kapijo, the youngest and most promising genius of the Myo-lun school, disappeared several hundred years ago, the Myo-lun school has never recovered. The current sage of the Myo-lun school is the tallest among the short ones, and his only advantage is that he is obedient.

This is also the reason why he can tolerate the sages of the Miaolun School sending him junk files every now and then.

Azar picked up another stack of documents, which were also from the Miaolun School, "Advantages and Countermeasures for Building Urban Gardens in Xumi (with Floor Plan)".

Hazard: ...

Azar lost the desire to read on after seeing the title. He threw the thick stack of papers aside and said to his assistant Setare: "From now on, any documents submitted by Rashid (a sage of the Mystic Theory, created by himself, and not in the game) that involve art should be thrown away directly. Xumi does not need those illusory things. Don't let those things taint the House of the Decrees."

The assistant Setare, who had long dark blue hair and dark skin, immediately responded, "Yes, sage."

Azar was tired, thinking how come none of these people had good eyesight? What elemental device or mechanism did Xumi need now? Was it architectural art?

"Do you want me to start sorting now, Sage?" asked Setale.

"Right now," Hazard said.

He really didn't want to see those terrible drawings of the Miaolun School anymore.

I know that you, Rashid, are very anxious, and I know that you want to restore the glory of the Miaolun Sect, but this is not a reason for you to hand me architectural designs and mechanism designs every day, and to interrupt the sages' meetings every now and then to bring the topic to the Miaolun Sect's funding.

Which of the six academies is not short of money now? Not cutting the Miaolun School's funds is a courtesy to you because you are obedient. Which is more important, the century-long plan of the Academy of Teachings or your shabby building and institution? How come this person doesn't know what is important and what is not?

...

"It has been sorted out. Would you like to review it now, sage?" Setale asked as she stood aside holding the selected documents.

"Let me see it," Hazard finally felt the urge to read on after seeing that the thickness of the document had indeed been reduced a lot.

"Improving sugar-making technology to reduce the price of refined sugar and increase the happiness index of Xumi people"?

How can we improve the process? Aren’t the current juice extraction and filtration equipment driven by elemental forces efficient enough to make sugar?

Azar frowned, threw the document aside and picked up the next one.

"Comparison between the mysterious runes in the depths of the forest and the Sumeru characters"

Next one.

Recommendations for the Protection of the Eleven Endangered Languages ​​of Xumi

Hazard: ...

How come the research of the Zhilun School is even more abstract than that of the Miaolun School?

If a language is endangered, then let it be endangered. What else do you want? Make all the people in Xumi learn those eleven languages? Or why don’t you set an example by learning seven or eight languages ​​first before speaking?

Is this kind of thing useful to me? So why can't these people just apply for funding from their respective colleges?

Azar was overwhelmed, but now looking at the article "Improving sugar-making technology to reduce the price of refined sugar and increase the happiness index of Xumi people" that he had just thrown aside, he suddenly felt that it looked very attractive.

He picked up the document and read it carefully, and the first paragraph of the document caught his attention.
