Chapter 216 El Haisen: Same with you
El Haisen crossed his arms and said, "Same here,
It is like Xumi scholars forming an academic family to facilitate academic research together, thinking that it would be a hotbed for academic papers, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a mess. "
"What are you talking about?" Kavi, who was drawing a picture nearby, turned his head with a look of horror on his face.
Good question, I want to know too.
Harold rolled his eyes and thought,
This Hai must have studied at Araki-sho. How come he can always come up with some wonderful metaphors?
But if you think about it carefully, there seems to be nothing wrong with it. In Sumeru, the country of wisdom, it is very common for scholars to set up academic families to facilitate writing papers and doing projects.
We have joined the same society and have published several papers. All we need to do to join an academic society is apply.
Hiss, it turns out that traveling to a different world can bring a lot of new experiences. Here, you can even get a big house and two family members at the age of sixteen by studying and writing papers.
Harold muttered to himself.
...
Xumi City
After the city's disciplinary officers and thirty-man team received the order issued by the great sage in the void, all the idle people still in the city stopped their work and rushed to the Ordinance Hall.
In less than half an hour, a large crowd had gathered outside the church.
The disciplinary officer in green robes and the thirty-man regiment in green shawls, under the gaze of the great disciplinary officer, either held their spears or leaned on the handles of their swords, all standing upright, abandoning their casual demeanor in their spare time.
Sitting on the white steps, Seno counted the number of people and estimated that all the people who could be gathered had arrived. He stood up calmly, divided everyone into groups of three or four, and issued search warrants.
Although the discipline officer and some members of the Thirty-Man Group received the sage's order to hide the search warrant inside their clothes, they were still confused about this action.
Some disciplinary officers were dissatisfied with the work that was temporarily assigned to them while they were slacking off at work. Especially after learning the detailed content of the work, some of them secretly cursed the great sage in their hearts for having nothing better to do.
Most of the thirty members thought that this matter was not worth making a fuss about. Although buying and selling paper books was expressly prohibited in the religious decree,
However, some history scholars and collectors would secretly purchase old paper books, and some academic families would even regard their massive collections of books as a family honor.
This is something that everyone in Xumi knows well. As long as the book transactions are not conducted in public, the Ministry of Education will turn a blind eye, and these law enforcement officers will pretend not to know.
Now the target has become the desert people, and the great sage quickly issued a search order.
Why? Malicious targeting?
The members of the Thirty-Man Group couldn't help but think about it. Even though the prohibition of buying and selling paper books had been written into the religious decree for more than a hundred years,
Even though their ancestors migrated from the desert to the rainforest several or dozens of generations ago, they did not have much affection for their fellow countrymen of the same blood, and most of them still felt somewhat dissatisfied with the decision of the great sage.
But none of them questioned it. For the sake of this rare job and their current stable life, they swallowed all their unhappiness and complaints.
After assigning tasks to everyone, Seno and his partner Taj Radkani looked at each other, nodded slightly, then retracted their gazes and looked at the crowd.
"action."
...
Mercenary Nasir was reading. This fifteen-year-old mercenary had completed a long-term escort mission with the elders of his tribe a month and a half ago and received a considerable amount of hiring money.
The seniors in the same team saw that he was young and studious, so they gave him a part of their own bounty. Therefore, in that operation, he received the same reward as other experienced seniors.
The small amount of money in hand really made him happy for a while. After receiving the money, he immediately planned his expenses for the next month in his account book.
He found that after adding an egg every day, the balance was still 30,000 Mora more than the original plan.
This discovery surprised him greatly, and he felt that he could live a slightly more luxurious life from now on. Should he buy some old notebooks from scholars or some other types of books?
My mother has always wanted to read literary novels and poetry collections from the rainforest. These books are very helpful for my studies, but paper books are too expensive... If I buy notebooks, I can buy multiple ones, but I may not be able to understand them.
Nasir hesitated for a month and did not make a decision until Master Dolly's spokesperson announced the news of the textbook iteration in the Mercenary Tavern. Only then did he make up his mind.
He will spend the money on buying new editions of textbooks.
I bought only one copy, and exchanged the other three old copies for book exchange vouchers, leaving only one old copy for my next reading.
There is still one month before the new edition of the textbook officially goes on sale. I can't skip studying during this month, right?
When the new book goes on sale, I will buy a new copy and sell the old one to other people. There are still many people in our tribe who have not bought the book. As long as I lower the price a little, it will not be difficult to sell it.
Having made up his mind, he decided not to touch his 30,000 Mora "disposable gold". He felt that he had made a very wise decision.
But now, he was extremely upset that he had not exchanged all his old books for vouchers.
When he heard the knock on the door, opened it, and saw the discipline officer standing outside with a knife, his heartbeat suddenly slowed down.
But he still stuck his head out and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"
Two disciplinary officers in robes showed the search warrant: "We are under the order of the Great Sage to search for illegal items. Please cooperate with us."
After hearing this, Nasir's face turned pale instantly, and no matter how much he told himself to "calm down", his voice still became panicked.
"Now? My room is a mess... It's full of garbage. I haven't washed the sheets in half a year! The house stinks. How about you wait for me... Just one minute, I'll clean it up and throw away the garbage!"
The two disciplinary officers who had arrested many scholars who violated disciplines instantly smelled the scent of crime. They sounded the alarm in their hearts, but on the surface they remained calm and said gently:
"It's okay. We won't stay in there for too long. We'll leave right away after we make sure there are no illegal items."
The two discipline officers spoke in a pleasant manner, seeming approachable, but their attitude was undeniable.
Nasir knew that if he made any other excuses to refuse, it would only make them more suspicious of him, so he could only open the door wider and invite the two disciplinary officers in.
I hid the book very secretly, they will definitely not be able to find it, Nasir comforted himself.
Although the house I rented was small, it had a lot of furniture. These discipline officers definitely didn't have the patience to search everywhere.
Even the discipline officer would never have thought that someone would hide a book inside a stuffed toy.
Nasir glanced at the old rabbit doll on the table. He had picked it up, and the first thing he thought of was to take out the cotton from the doll and put the book in it.
"It's quite clean." A disciplinary officer suddenly said.
Nasir was stunned for two seconds before he realized that this sentence was referring to the excuse he had made up earlier. He didn't know how to answer and could only laugh dryly.
The two discipline officers began to perform their duties. This rental house only had one room, and the furniture and daily necessities were clearly arranged.
One of them started looking in the nearest cupboard while the other walked towards the lounge area.
Kitchen utensils with bite marks, few remaining seasonings, empty beverage bottles used to hold water... They picked them up one by one, looked them over carefully from inside to outside, and put them down again. Their rigorous attitude made Nasir's heart beat faster again.
They can't find it. He kept repeating it in his mind, and at the same time prayed sincerely to the Red King. He felt that he was not as pious as he was now during the tribal sacrifices.
