Chapter 177: Sino: Let’s get started!

After finishing a day's classes and returning home, Murtada felt more relaxed than ever before. After meeting Harold, he felt that the problems that had been bothering him for a long time were finally solved, and he was no longer confused about his life after completing his studies.

"Father, I'm back!" Murtada greeted in a relaxed and cheerful tone.

Tajie was stunned for a moment, a little dazed. As a father, he immediately noticed the changes in his son.

Not long ago, Murtada told him in a similar tone that he had been invited by a research team and would become a member of them to conduct a very valuable research.

Although Tajie was curious, he did not ask any further questions or use his connections to investigate secretly out of trust in his son and respect for his privacy. In addition, the disciplinary officer was too busy.

"You're back...well, why are you so happy? Did you encounter anything happy in the Ordinance House?" Tajie asked with a smile, hiding the fatigue between his brows.

He never knew how to communicate with his son. He was always too shy to express his concern. He also didn't ask about things his son didn't want to tell him out of respect.

When he discovered that there was a problem with his relationship with his child, he tried to please his son by adding more compliments to his conversations, bringing his son some novel little gifts from time to time, etc.

But these practices seemed to have the opposite effect. Murtada spoke less and less to him, and he felt lost, but he comforted himself in his heart that it was normal for a child of this age to become estranged from his father. He felt that as long as they passed this stage, the relationship between father and son would be eased.

Hearing his father's question, Murtada hesitated for a few seconds and said, "I am about to finish my coursework, so I found a tutor in advance."

Finishing his studies? So soon? Taj was a little surprised. He had always been confident in Murtada's studies, so he never asked about them. But knowing that his son would finish all the courses in the academy at the age of fourteen, he felt a sense of pride.

He adjusted his mood, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask curiously: "Which mentor did you choose?"

"When I finish my homework and the Academy of Teachings records our teacher-student relationship into the void, I will tell you after we officially start researching together." Murtada said with a smile.

Maybe I can wait until I have studied with my supervisor for a while and have made great progress in my research project before telling my father. Murtada thought, then I can tell my father how much I have contributed to the research, and he will be amazed at my growth.

Tajie nodded and stopped asking questions. Murtada's behavior today gave him a guess:

The research group he said he wanted to join last time was actually the research group of the mentor who had taken a liking to him. The time interval was not too far, so that should be correct.

With this guess, Tajie, who had been worried about what his son was doing, suddenly felt much more at ease.

The tutors of the Institute of Teaching have all been strictly screened and certified. Their research projects have all been approved and stamped by the Institute of Teaching. In case of any accidents or involvement in any prohibited projects, the main responsibility will be borne by the tutors.

Joining the tutor's team after completing the course is the most traditional and least wrong choice. He also imagines that the tutor that Murtada has chosen can guide Murtada to complete his studies.

I should be able to rest assured if I leave it to that mentor, Tajie thought.

...

After Harold obtained the personnel information of the person who secretly invited people to join the "Garden of Silence" related research from Murtada, he immediately used the void to verify the identity of that person. After several trackings, he confirmed the other five people involved in the research.

On Saturday, after discussing the progress of the paper with the other four members of the society as usual, Harold looked at Senor and said, "Grand Disciplinary Officer, I want to report Bandak and others for violating discipline and defiling the church. Their crimes are unforgivable."

Seno was stunned and blurted out: "What?"

Kavi, Elhaisen, and Setale also looked at Harold. Although they were confused, they did not express their opinions and just waited quietly for the next step.

"My student Murtada told me that he had received an invitation from a senior to join a secret research on the 'Garden of Silence'." Harold said slowly.

"...the research that was banned a hundred years ago?"

Seno's pupils dilated slightly as he recalled the information he had just received from Harold. His expression gradually changed from serious to puzzled. He murmured to himself,

"... Murtada, Murtada Radkani?"

"Yes, my new student." Harold nodded.

"Ah? When? Ahem... No, Senior Seno, do you know him?" Kavi asked curiously.

"He is the only son of Taj Radkani, a senior whom I respect very much. His father and I are partners, and we often go on missions together or practice shooting skills together."

Seno answered in a calm tone, but he had silently raised the importance of the matter by two levels in his mind.

Seno: "Harold, please continue."

"I learned about this incident by chance when I was checking his learning progress. I was also surprised when I first learned about it.

A hundred years ago, this research was banned, but now there are still people who are defying the law and openly deceiving underage scholars with immature minds." Harold shook his head.

"'Garden of Silence', I remember it can resurrect the dead, I wonder if this rumor is true or not." Setale said thoughtfully.

"We don't know whether it is true or not, but to open its door, one needs to sacrifice the life of the person who opens the door. A hundred years ago, there was a bloody incident in which scholars collectively sacrificed themselves. This is why the House of the Decrees banned all related research," said Seno.

Harold: "Generally speaking, anything involving the sacrifice of life is somewhat evil."

Seno nodded in agreement, and then asked: "Do you have any more clues?"

"I have confirmed the members of the research team that invited my student. There are six people in total. Here is the list." Haroldt said as he handed a filled paper to Seno.
