Elhaisen's mind moved. The Clover Printing House was the secret industry of the Humayi family.
The eldest daughter of the Humayi family, Dina Zedai, once suffered from a serious magic scale disease, but was cured by Oppenheimer not long ago. It is obvious that Oppenheimer must be behind this novel.
He took out 100,000 Mora and threw it directly on the stall, without even saying hello to Dolly, and left.
Dolly shook her head. “What a God with a bad attitude.”
Then, with great joy, he counted the Mora that El Haisen had thrown on the stall.
Chapter 136 The Influence of "Sumeru Notre Dame Temple"
The afternoon sun shone through the dense leaves and fell on Elhaisen. He picked up the heavy novel, leaned against a sturdy tree, and began his reading journey.
His fingers slid lightly across the pages, making a rustling sound.
A breeze blew by, and the leaves swayed gently, as if accompanying his reading.
Elhaisen was completely immersed in the world of the novel, forgetting everything around him. His mood fluctuated with the plot of the book, sometimes nervous and exciting, sometimes excited.
"Archbishop Alza's play became more and more excessive. Simple props could no longer satisfy his increasingly perverted desires. He began to use canes, lactation drugs, and even beer bottles.
Skalazim could hear Dotore's screams every night."
"........"
"Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and pushed his adoptive father Alza off the top floor with his own hands."
"........"
"The church bells still ring on time every day. The thousand-year-old church still stands, but its soul has begun to decay..."
Elhaisen read to the end of the novel in one breath and felt lost.
The novel uses delicate brushstrokes and profound social insights to satirize today's ordained houses by depicting the filth and decay of Notre Dame de Sumire.
In reality, the Millennium Order has completely lost its original ideals.
Academic fraud, plagiarism, and political struggles were rampant in the House of the Decrees. Especially after Azar became the Great Sage through despicable means, the corruption in the House of the Decrees reached its peak.
Scholars no longer focus on academic research, but instead spend all day thinking about falsifying information so that their watered-down academic papers can be published in academic journals.
Except for the two wise men Nafis and Iskander who dared to oppose Azhar, no one else dared to express a different opinion.
Because scholars who dare to express different opinions will eventually be exiled to Daochenglin for various reasons.
He looked up and saw that the sky had been dyed dark yellow by the afterglow of the setting sun.
He closed the book gently and walked towards the desert with a determined look.
Before reading this novel, his stance was rather neutral, and he had no clear opinion on the struggle between the House of the Decrees and the gods.
However, this novel made him realize the true face of the Order of the Gods, and he decided to stand on the side of God and destroy the Order of the Gods' plans.
At the same time, he had a premonition that this novel would definitely cause a huge storm in Xumi City.
Elhaisen's hunch was correct.
A "Notre Dame" fever swept through Xumi City. People were scrambling to read in almost every corner of the city.
The content of the novel has sparked heated discussion and attention.
The person that people talked about the most was undoubtedly Archbishop Alza.
The various tricks and props he used opened people's eyes and amazed them.
However, what makes people despise him even more is his dirty and perverted behavior behind the scenes.
This discussion is not limited to the plot and characters of the novel, but naturally extends to real life.
Many people will automatically associate Archbishop Alza with the great sage Azar in reality, and form a perception: Azar is such a dirty and perverted person.
There were even some scholars who were so engrossed in the novel that they brought it into reality. Filled with righteous indignation, they actually wrote a paper criticizing the great sage Azar, questioning why he abused the sexy and hot Ms. Dotole.
The wave caused by this novel soon attracted the attention of the great sage Azar.
In the Great Sage's office, sunlight shines through the stained glass windows onto the thick carpet. It should have been a quiet and peaceful scene.
However, Hazard's face was livid at this moment, his hands tightly holding a novel, his knuckles turned white due to excessive force.
He only flipped through two or three pages when the muscles on his face began to twist and his rage was like a volcano about to erupt.
He suddenly stood up and tore the novel in his hand into pieces, with pieces of paper scattering everywhere, just like his angry mood at the moment.
His face became hideous and his eyes were red, as if they were about to spit fire. "Who dares to slander me like this? I must kill him, kill him!"
Officer Uday stood aside with his head lowered, submissive and even his breathing became cautious.
He has followed Hazard for many years but has never seen him lose his composure like this.
When Uday didn't reply, he yelled, "Waste!"
Then Hazard walked out of his office.
After walking through the long corridor, he came to the office of the disciplinary officer, Seno.
He pushed the door open and rushed in angrily.
Seno's office is rather simple, with almost no decorations except for some files, which is in stark contrast to Hazard's luxurious office.
When Azar walked into the office, Seno was sitting in his seat, reading a novel.
He took a glance and was instantly furious, because the novel in Seno's hand was the one that caused a sensation, "Notre Dame de Sumire: The Fall of the Archbishop".
He rushed to Seno's desk angrily and pointed his finger at Seno, "How dare you read this kind of book! Have you forgotten your responsibilities?" His voice was deafening, as if it would shake down the entire office.
Seno raised his head and looked at the angry Azar, his face expressionless. He quietly waited for Azar's anger to subside, and then slowly spoke: "Great Sage, the beginning of this novel clearly states that this novel is purely fictional, and any similarities are purely coincidental. Although the name of the protagonist of the novel is somewhat similar to yours, it is not completely different. More importantly, if you really don't have any problems, then why are you so angry?"
Azar was so angry at what Senor said that he was shaking all over. "Okay, okay, okay, I see you don't want to do this anymore. Don't forget, according to the ban issued by the Decree Council last year, the Disciplinary Officer must follow the orders of the Great Sage. Otherwise, the Great Sage can remove the Disciplinary Officer from his position at any time."
"The disciplinary officers did receive the ban, but all of them do not agree with it because it violates the idea of the ancient sages in establishing disciplinary officers. We have submitted a report of refusal to comply to the Sages' Conference." Seno said in a flat tone.
"Hmph! There is no need for the disciplinary officer who disobeys my orders to exist!" After saying that, Azar turned around and left. He would immediately issue a ban in the void, and anyone who dared to oppose him would not have a good end.
After Hazard left, Seno's eyes became more determined. The disciplinary officer will always stick to his duties and will not succumb to anyone.
He will judge all violators impartially according to the six most ancient root sins, including great sages.
Chapter 137 The Influence of "Sumeru Mother Temple" (Continued)
In the center of Xumi City, the Adventurer's Association.
The receptionist Catherine was sitting at the counter as usual, but the difference was that she was holding a thick novel in her slender hands and reading it attentively.
In the warm sunshine, Catherine's face looked even whiter than jade. Her long hair was gently draped over her shoulders, with a few strands of hair playfully falling on the pages of the book.
Her eyes were no longer empty and mechanical as before, but now lively and deep, sparkling with wisdom.
Catherine didn't read very fast, and seemed to be trying hard to understand the meaning of every sentence.
But soon, the plot of the novel developed to the "secret room imprisonment" section. As the villain Alza began to take out props one by one, these touched upon her blind spots in knowledge.
She instinctively felt that she should avoid the following storyline, otherwise she would be likely to be contaminated by the "forbidden knowledge".
However, as a god of wisdom, she should learn all knowledge.
After much struggle, she remembered the Great Compassionate Tree King, who was her previous life.
If it were her, she would probably face this knowledge bravely.
Nashida, you must not bring shame to your previous life, the Great Kindness Tree King. She mustered up her courage and turned her gaze to the text.
"Alza lit a candle, and the hot wax flowed down Dotole's beautiful neck to her snow-white pride..."
what? !
Nashida felt that she was no longer clean.
At this moment, a line of text suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, "The Faith Court has banned the sale, printing or reading of novels."
Then, the city guards began to move out, searching house by house, and if they found any novels, no matter what they were, they would be destroyed immediately.
The novel that Narcida possessed in Catherine's hand was not spared either.
Her consciousness returned to Jingshan Palace. Nashida looked at the empty palace and let out a long sigh.
I felt sorry for the great sage Azar's misdeeds, but I also felt a little sorry that I couldn't continue watching.
.......
Outside the door of the Great Sage's office, Nafis's long-suppressed anger finally reached its peak. He no longer cared about his identity, raised his foot, and kicked the magnificent door fiercely.
With a loud bang, the door was kicked open, causing the entire corridor to echo with a buzzing sound.
He rushed into the office aggressively, his eyes fixed directly on Hazard who was sitting at his desk.
Azar's expression changed slightly. He obviously did not expect Nafis to rush in so impulsively.
"Azar, fuck you, how many times have you issued a ban into the void without the approval of the Sages' Conference?" Nafis asked sternly.
Veins popped out on Azar's forehead, and his face was ashen. He was obviously trying his best to suppress his emotions. "Nafis, this is a critical moment in the God-making Plan. As a great sage, I have the right to carry out such operations."
Upon hearing this, Nafis roared angrily, "Fuck you, Azar, you bastard! The system established by the ancient sages cannot be trampled on at will. I will now impeach you in the name of the sages of the Shenglun School."
His voice echoed in the office, and the saliva from his mouth even splashed on Hazard's face.
Azar's expression gradually calmed down, and his eyes became colder and colder. "You want to impeach me? Haha, this is really a joke. It seems that you, Nafis, have lost your mind."
"You are insane. Your whole family is insane. Hurry up and call a meeting of sages. I will impeach you to death."
"If you are not in your right mind, you should rest well." At the same time, he opened the void terminal and said to the other end of the void terminal: "Uday, take action."
As soon as he finished speaking, Uday rushed into the office with six guards.
Six guards stepped forward and subdued Nafis.
Nafis struggled desperately, cursing wildly, "Fuck you, you bastard, you fucked me... wuuuu... wuuuu..."
Uday simply blocked his mouth with a white cloth.
"Uday, lock him up in the coldest and dampest place in the House of the Decree, calm him down and stop biting people like a mad dog. Also arrest the sage Iskander of the Karmapa school." Azar ordered Uday.
Uday agreed and left the Great Sage's office with Nafis.
Azar sat quietly in his seat, watching Nafis' unwilling back as he was taken away, his heart filled with the pleasure of revenge.
