Chapter 211 As soon as possible
He knew Setale's whereabouts very well. When he first met this assistant, she was sandwiched between the desert people and the rainforest people, and her learning conditions and situation were equally difficult.
Such people are the easiest to win over, which is why he recruited Setare as his assistant regardless of his background. As he expected, Setare has been doing a good job.
In terms of her stance towards the desert, she is even more resolute than some of the higher-ups of the Order who come from the rainforest. In the six years from graduation to becoming the Sage's Assistant, the only change in her life was that she joined a society that studies the Red King at the beginning of last year.
Of course, this could not be hidden from Azar's eyes. He immediately used his authority to obtain the list of members of the society from the virtual air: Kawi, Elhaisen, Harold, Setare, Senor, and others.
Kavi and Elhaisen were from the rainforest. They had studied in the Order Academy since childhood and had not yet graduated when they joined the Society.
The founder of the society is Kawi, a newcomer of the Miaolun School, so the society's topics include the exploration of architectural structures.
Elhaisen, a scholar of the Zhilun School, had never participated in any collaborative research before joining the society. This time the society just gave him an opportunity to complete the graduation requirements.
Even if he does not join this society, he has to join other societies or research groups, otherwise he will not be able to graduate successfully even if he submits his thesis.
Furthermore, his expertise contributes to the society's research on semiotics, and from a personal interest perspective, his joining is completely logical.
Harold, a vitalist scholar and foreign student, had studied at the Institute for the Study of the Church for less than two months when he joined the society. It was hard to imagine that he would feel a sense of belonging to either the rainforest or the desert.
Seno, a Sulun school scholar, fled from the desert to the rain forest with his adoptive father and teacher, Gulersh, when he was young. Although he was a desert person, he could not have any feelings for the desert due to his personal experience.
But he has been exploring the source of his power. He joined several similar societies before joining Kawi's society. His joining is reasonable.
Moreover, he joined the society before becoming a disciplinary officer, so it is unlikely that he would have any personal connections other than personal relationships with people like Kavi and Elhaisen who came from other academies.
These five people gathered together for various purposes to conduct research and published widely acclaimed papers within a year. Their academic achievements are beyond doubt, and the incentive funds they received were all approved by him.
As for Setale, a scholar who has already graduated and gained considerable fame, his purpose of joining the society will only be to publish papers to increase his own fame and improve his competitiveness in running for certain positions.
She was already a sage assistant, and the next level up was a sage. After reading the research report submitted by Kavi in detail, Azar determined that their society would attract attention from all walks of life.
He couldn't help but feel impressed that his assistant could spare some time to focus on the academic world after work. This time, she actually encountered a good opportunity.
He never thought that this assistant beside him had such ambitions. Hazard thought with sarcasm and regret in his heart,
It's a pity that she is just a desert person. Desert people are born with intellectual disabilities. Her upper limit has been determined since birth. It is a blessing from heaven that she can become the assistant of the sage.
Becoming a sage... The desert people actually wanted to become sages? Ridiculous, such a ridiculous thing has never happened in the House of the Decrees since its establishment!
But Azar did not break Setale's unrealistic fantasy. Setale's goal of becoming a sage means that she will always stand on the side of the rain forest in the past, present and future, which is a good thing.
...
Setare walked quickly in the corridor of the Decree Court, her thoughts in a mess. Something had happened. What should I do? I will inform Lord Harold immediately and ask him to be prepared!
No... No, my abnormal behavior will attract Hazard's attention, which will bring trouble to everyone... I have to stay calm, I must stay calm... There is no point in panicking...
Today is Friday, I can pass the message tomorrow morning, half a day, as long as I can buy half a day...
As she was thinking about something, Setale's steps were somewhat messy. Before she knew it, she came to the disciplinary officer's office. She took a deep breath and adjusted her state.
After knocking on the door and receiving the response "Come in", she opened the door and went in, greeting the disciplinary officer on duty.
"Oh, Miss Setale, what's the matter? What does the Great Sage want me to do? Would you like a cup of tea?" the disciplinarian asked.
Setale shook her head and said coldly, "The Great Sage is waiting for my reply."
Then, she took a few steps forward and placed the documents she had brought out of the sage's office on the table with a calm expression.
"...The Great Sage ordered that this case be transferred to Xumi City. A search warrant be issued to the current Xumi City Discipline Officer. Instruct them to search all the mercenary residences in Xumi City and hand over any suspicious items immediately."
Setale recounted the cause of the incident and Azar's wishes with an expressionless face.
The disciplinary officer on duty did not notice anything unusual. He read the documents submitted by Setare while listening to her explanation. After listening, he raised his head and said:
"It would take at least four days to transfer the case and issue a search warrant if the normal process was followed."
“The great sage said the sooner the better,” said Setale.
"Minus some procedures that can be supplemented later, it will take two days." The disciplinary officer on duty took out a feather pen, dipped it in ink, and said.
"Please complete this work as soon as possible and give me a written document first. The Great Sage is waiting for a response."
Setale nodded slightly to express her gratitude. The time was consistent with what she expected, and she felt more at ease. She believed that Harold could come up with a plan to resolve the crisis within this period of time.
When she thought of the large number of compatriots stranded in Xumi City, she secretly gritted her teeth. Things had just started to improve and our situation had just improved. We must not let all this fall through!
The great sage gave the order personally, and the disciplinary officer did not dare to neglect it. He quickly checked the task content on the report form, signed and wrote the date, and then handed the document to Setale.
After checking, Setale made several copies of the documents and case files, sorted them out, and then went to connect with the archivist... After completing all the preparations, Setale returned to the Sage's office.
Azar looked at the time and saw that only two and a half hours had passed. He was very satisfied with Setale's efficiency. He took the documents from Setale's hand and had no objection to her saying "it will take two more days".
Seeing that Azar had no intention of using his authority to forcibly skip all the procedures, Setale finally felt relieved.
