Chapter 203 Performance
Kavi had only asked casually, but he did not expect to receive a positive answer.
After listening to Harold's explanation, he opened his mouth slightly in surprise. Is it really possible? If it can be refined into gold, wouldn't it achieve the ultimate goal of traditional alchemy?
This is a difficult problem that the Sulun School has not solved in a hundred years of research! If it is made public, it will definitely cause a storm in the Sulun School! Maybe the Sulun School will come to poach people at that time.
A picture suddenly flashed through Kavi's mind: scholars of the vegetarian school and the vital school had a heated debate over which academy Harold should serve as the sage, and as a result, the academic giant Harold held both positions.
Kavi shook his head and put these strange thoughts behind him.
In their generation, the fact that six sages became five sages was too much.
Seno suddenly said, "Are you really not considering joining our Sulun Sect? If your research is published, I think you have the potential to become the new sage of the Sulun Sect."
Harold smiled but said nothing, complaining in his heart, "Does this mean I have to be a sage of the Sulun School? There are still many things I want to do, involving various colleges. Doesn't that mean I have to lead the sages of the six colleges?"
Oh no, that's not what I should consider. From a scientific point of view, I can't make gold.
Seno thought with a little regret: What a pity.
He inferred Harold's attitude from his reaction, but just smiled and said, "The teacher should be very interested in this project."
"Really? It's a pity that Lord Gules has retired, otherwise when we submit our project application, maybe someone will give us a green channel." Harold joked.
He really wanted to say, "Since you are all interested, my team and I welcome you to join us."
He believed that with a former Sulunpa sage and sage disciple, his team's progress in "elements" would be able to advance by leaps and bounds.
If it weren't for Seno's identity as a disciplinary officer, at least on the surface, he couldn't get too close to Seno, otherwise it would make the rebellion in a few years more difficult. He has already said this.
Then we chatted about some trivial things, and dispersed around twelve o'clock. We said goodbye to each other and agreed to meet again tomorrow.
In the following week, Harold lived a peaceful life as usual, and his research was progressing slowly.
At the weekend society meeting, after discussing academic topics, everyone involuntarily turned their eyes to Harold, as if waiting for him to speak first.
Harold curled his lips and said, "Everything is normal this week. There is no need to trouble the disciplinary officer."
The slightly tense atmosphere immediately loosened.
Seno calmly informed the other four that he had received a mission to capture a scholar who had violated the rules and fled to the desert.
During his mission, he will go to the location of the "Garden of Silence" to see if that place can be destroyed. As a result, he will not be able to participate in society activities for the next two months.
Others expressed their blessings and their hope that Seno would return safely and bring back good news.
After thanking everyone, Senor said to Harold: "Siraj did commit disciplinary violations."
"Found it?" Harold asked, deliberately omitting the subject.
Seno nodded: "A lot."
...a lot of?
Harold rubbed his forehead with a headache, and Elhaisen, who had been reading a book, also moved his eyes slightly.
"The source of his 'collection' was from bulletin boards in various places in Xumi City. He himself has confessed that he used a knife to cut off the notices about you on the bulletin boards at night.
So I think his crime should be "damaging public property" rather than "violating other people's privacy", and according to the decree, the punishment for this crime is more severe than the former." Saino said calmly.
Harold:?
It's becoming more and more abstract.
...
Next Wednesday, Zubair Theater will be the first to post the poster of the opera "Alia and Mutasim", announcing that the opera will be performed in half a month.
【Take you to understand the vast sea of sand and experience the foreign customs! 】
On the poster, a young man and woman wearing long robes that are completely different from the traditional clothing style of the rainforest stand under the night sky and in the yellow sand, looking into the distance.
There is not a single star in the background sky, and the sand is like dark satin. Against the backdrop of the empty background, the two protagonists appear more upright and their eyes more profound.
As soon as the poster was posted, it immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding residents. The Zubair Theater has a very good reputation among the common people in Xumi City, and many people want to know what kind of surprises they will bring this time.
"Ms. Nilu looks so beautiful in this costume. I feel like I've fallen in love with her all over again!"
"I have to wait another half a month to see it? Can I buy the tickets now?"
"Who is the male lead? I don't think I've ever seen him in Zubair Theater before."
"I heard that he is a new mercenary hired by the theater manager?"
"Mercenaries performing a play? How interesting!"
"Mercenaries still take this job? How did the manager come up with this idea?"
"Then besides the drama, is there anything else they can do? Can they help knead the dough?"
...
The residents were discussing the matter around the bulletin board. Amid the expectation and curiosity of the majority of people, the few voices of ridicule and disdain were completely drowned out and did not cause any waves.
The desert people are barbaric and vulgar, aggressive by nature, and don't even take a bath. What do they know about art?
When these people saw that their words did not change the wind direction, they could only curse in their hearts, hoping that an accident would occur on the stage on the day of the performance, exposing the true colors of these desert people.
...
Knowing that the opera at Zubair Theater was about to be performed, Qavi bought 30 tickets at once. After buying them, he calculated the time and found that he might not be able to spare time to watch 30 performances.
So he gave away most of the tickets he had, leaving two for Harold and Elhaisen, and only kept three for himself.
The news of the performance also caused a huge sensation among the mercenaries. Due to their busy work and studies, most of them almost forgot that a group of their compatriots were selected to become actors in various theaters a few months ago.
After hearing the news, many mercenaries took time out to squeeze in front of the bulletin board to admire the poster design and carefully read the text information on it.
But some mercenaries were not optimistic about this. They were not liked by the rainforest people in the first place, and now they had to stand in a conspicuous place and accept criticism from the rainforest people, which was really shameful.
...
In front of a bulletin board somewhere in Xumi City
A scholar saw a mercenary who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old looking at the poster from top to bottom for a long time, and thought that he didn't know the words on the poster, so he kindly asked:
"Do you need me to read it to you?"
He would often lend a hand when encountering similar situations, resolving the mercenaries' urgent needs and gaining the gratitude of these poor fellows. He believed that this could highlight his excellent character, which was exactly what made him, who did not have outstanding academic performance, different from most scholars.
He also always fantasized that his behavior would one day be noticed by wealthy businessmen or celebrities with the same noble character, and these people would introduce him into their circle.
After hearing what the green-clad scholar said, the young mercenary was stunned for a moment, then he said, "Ah... Thank you, I can actually understand it."
Now the person who was shocked became the scholar. In his impression, it was rare for desert people of this age to know the common characters of Xumi.
Soon, two more mercenaries came over. After reading the content on the poster, they immediately smiled with joy and started talking about the information above.
Strange, is it that there are more literate mercenaries? Or did I just run into the few that were there?
Scholars have such doubts.
