Chapter 138 Harold: Meeting
On the way home, Harold found an excuse to go to the public restroom and flushed the small paper balls he had received into the sewer in batches. He watched with his own eyes as all the paper balls were soaked, deformed, and rolled into the sewer. Only then did he wash his hands calmly and walk towards Kavi who was waiting for him outside. The two walked in the same direction in the night.
When Haroldt got home, he inserted the key into the door. Kavi once again whispered to him, "Haroldt, remember not to let anything slip. Don't betray me..."
"Don't worry, senior." Harold nodded, agreed with a smile, and then opened the door.
The layout of the house was basically unchanged from the day before. As the third owner of the prime property distributed by the House of the Decrees, Elhaisen sat leisurely on a low bench in the living room reading a book, with a cup of steaming coffee on his right.
The familiar scene made Kavi confused. He hesitated to speak. After trying several times, he smiled stiffly and said, "We are back!"
Elhaisen responded with a "hmm" without even raising his head. In the past, Kavi might have been sarcastic to him for his cold attitude, but today he felt relieved when he heard this brief hum.
"Senior Elhaisen, have you obtained the Eye of God?"
Harold looked at the ornament next to the white coffee cup. There were patterns of grass on the green gem. The gem looked very expensive and was embedded in a golden ornament holder. However, this ornament, which was not just an ornament, was casually thrown aside by its owner.
Now that you have obtained the Eye of God, can you show me this, the deduction of the theory?
"Ah? When did it happen?" Kavi belatedly realized that there was one more item on the table than usual. He looked at the glittering Eye of Grass Elemental God in surprise, and his mood relaxed without him even noticing.
"This morning," Elhaisen calmly answered the question, "it appeared at the bottom of a book I had read."
"Is it that simple? Can you see the Eye of God by reading a book?"
Kavi had a look of disbelief on his face, thinking back to the process of how his own Eye of God appeared. He thought that the one that belonged to Elhaisen had appeared too hastily, but he was also very happy that his junior fellow student could get the attention of God without having to go through the same confusion and entanglement as him.
"Have you used it? How does it feel to master the elemental power?"
Kavi asked curiously, his mind already drifting away, and he began to involuntarily imagine the one hundred and one ways that Elhaisen used the Eye of God.
"I finished the book right into my regular work schedule, and after that I had a few new books to read, so I didn't have that much time to study it.
It is not difficult to see from the experience of most God's Eye owners that as long as it appears around you, it means that you will naturally master its use. There is nothing to worry about. I will use it naturally when I need it. "
Elhaisen said calmly as he turned the book to the next page.
But I really want to watch Sword Rain, the kind with six paths, Harold said in his heart.
"Is it really that smooth? Being able to sense and use elemental power is one thing, but knowing how to use it well is another." Kavi said with disapproval.
His eyes would occasionally fall on the books in Elhaisen's hands and on the table, and he would tease:
"What did you choose as a weapon, El Haisen? Could it be those old books of yours? Oh, it seems to be quite suitable, which means you have no shortage of self-defense weapons."
El Haisen: "Unfounded guesses. Your divergent thinking always takes you away from the correct answer. Two one-handed swords appeared along with the Eye of God. This means that I need to hone my swordsmanship for a while."
Then he looked at Harold: "There are others who use books as self-defense weapons."
"It's not called a book anymore, senior. You should call it a 'magic weapon'." Harold shrugged and said without any guilt.
After that, no one brought up any new topics. Harold released the evening bird, and then he and Kavi took turns washing up and having a simple meal. Elhaisen continued to sit in the living room and read, only occasionally changing his sitting position.
After dinner, Haroldt picked up a book from Elhaisen's study and started reading. After reading for two hours, he estimated that the dusk bird had already flown to Huachengguo, so he handed the communication device to Dixia and turned on the video communication.
The communication device in his hand quickly unfolded a light screen, and Dixia's face soon appeared on the screen.
"Good evening, Harold. Are you done with your work so early today?"
Dixia greeted him naturally, as if she had known that Harold would contact her at this time. This was actually the third time they had contacted each other in this way.
Two days ago, when Harold's evening owl flew from afar for the first time, opened the window with its claws, and then circled and landed on her shoulder, she was puzzled and surprised.
Then the dusk bird pecked the small device on its leg with its beak and held it in her palm. She read the dusk bird's body language and pressed the switch of the device under its guidance.
She was even more surprised when a screen of light unfolded before her eyes and Harold's face appeared on the screen.
Has the technology of the House of the Lords developed to this level?
Dixia thought it was just a new product circulated within the House of the Lords, and after a brief shock, she quickly accepted this communication tool.
It is very easy to use. Dixia quickly mastered the trick of making her face appear in the center of the light screen and began to enjoy the convenience it brought.
"Well, good evening, Miss Dixia. How's your research going today? What's the condition of the mother plant? Are there records of the nectar production of each nectar flower?" Harold asked.
Kavi, who was cutting fruit nearby, almost cut his hand when he heard this conversation.
...something seems wrong. Why does my junior act like my mentor as soon as he opens his mouth?
"It still doesn't work. When the ice-attributed Liar Flower pollen comes into contact with the fire element, the ice elemental power in the pollen will still dissipate quickly. But I will keep trying!"
Dixia felt a little guilty. Ever since she became a mercenary, she had never been afraid of anyone in battle. But now she experienced the long-lost illusion of being dominated by awe from a boy two years younger than her.
Is it because he imparted a lot of knowledge to me? Or is it because he was so reliable in the research institute?
Seeing Harold nodded slightly, Dixia paused, and her mood actually became a little more joyful. She hurriedly reported to Harold: "The condition of the mother plant is very stable, and the fruit is almost the size of a football. I wrote down the specific values in my notes, and I also recorded the honey production. Do you want to see my experimental notes?"
"Let me see if there are any changes in honey production in the recent period," said Haroldt.
"There is no change, it is still fluctuating within the normal range."
Dixia took out her notes and spread them out in front of the light screen. She could speak the common language of Xumi and recognize most of the common characters of Xumi, but she was not very good at writing, so the handwriting on the front page of the notes was a little crooked. But with Harold's invisible encouragement, her handwriting has improved a little today. Although it is not beautiful, it is relatively correct.
"You recorded it very carefully, Miss Dixia." Harold praised after reading it.
At the same time, he once again expressed his gratitude for the great help that Alice's mother had given him.
Thanks to Alice’s mom for helping me achieve the freedom of online meetings.
