Chapter 235 Harold: Bring Some Specialties
Accept the conditions proposed by the previous great sage and become the new sage, passing on this secret one by one.
This is a time bomb. Anyone who can become a sage in each academy cannot be unaware of this, but this bomb won’t explode in my hands by chance, right?
Judging from the probability, the Great Sage will only be in office for 20 to 30 years, or 40 years at most, after which he can retire to the background and enjoy both fame and fortune, and enjoy the best medical care and the highest pension in Xumi.
Well, medical care in Xumi is free, so we can’t completely think like Blue Star people.
Harold did not say what he was thinking, but most of the people present were smart.
When Setale said this, she and everyone except Kavi thought of this and worried about the safety of the little auspicious grass king.
"I'll find a way to confirm it." Setale said after a moment's silence.
As the Sage's Assistant, who is almost always by Azar's side during the working day, she is the most suitable person here and the most likely person to do this.
"...Senior Setale, what do you want to do?" Kavi swallowed and asked worriedly.
He felt very nervous just thinking about Setale sneaking into the Jingshan Palace.
"There will be a way. There will always be times when the defense of Jingshan Palace is lax." Setale said calmly.
She actually hadn't thought of a good solution, but she felt that as long as she had Azar's trust, she would have the opportunity to get involved in these things.
Although it is dangerous to sneak into the forbidden area, she can know the answer she wants with just one glance. Or she doesn't even need to take risks, as the great sage may let the cat out of the bag at any time.
"Well... I have an idea now. Let's see if it's feasible." Haroldt had a faint smile on his face.
Because of this sentence, everyone's eyes turned to him. Harold folded his hands and slowly expressed his thoughts.
After listening to his story quietly, Seno uttered two words: "It's feasible."
Elhaisen did not express his opinion, which was considered as his tacit agreement with Seno's opinion.
"This is too risky!" Kavi couldn't help but say.
"Compared to other options, the risks are negligible," said Elhaisen.
"How can we guarantee that the great sage will not suspect the people around him afterwards?" Kavi retorted dissatisfiedly.
"Any normal person who has experienced something like that would question the people around them.
Think of the words to answer possible questions in advance, which are simple and unlikely to reveal flaws. As I just said, the risk is negligible. "Elhaisen said.
"I think it's worth a try," Setale said quickly.
She had already made plans to confirm the safety of the little auspicious grass king even if she was discovered, but when she was actually preparing to do it, she was still a little nervous.
Seeing that Setale herself agreed, and that with his current status and position he was not even qualified to be an insider, let alone take risks on Setale's behalf, Kavi had to stop expressing his objections and instead repeatedly reminded Setale to be careful and wished her safety.
The matter was settled, and the five discussed some details, after which Setale and Seno said goodbye to the three.
Seno walked to the door, and suddenly turned around as if he remembered something and looked at Haroldt and said:
“…The disciple of Lord Nafis you are talking about is called Tinari?”
The change of topic made Harold stunned for a second, and then he replied with a little helplessness:
"Yes, because Lord Nafis and the Great Sage are at odds, many of his disciples have distanced themselves from him. The only scholar who still frequently contacts Lord Nafis is Tinari, his new disciple who he accepted last year.
We have recently been discussing how to make the most efficient use of the greenhouse, why did you suddenly bring him up? "
"I just met him not long ago, he's a nice guy.
You just said that if the Great Sage launched the plan, Lord Nafis would be imprisoned, and as the Sage's disciple, he would not be spared.
But as a scholar who was beholden to Lord Nafis, a scholar of the same period of the Shenglun School who was as famous as the sage's disciples, and also his good friend, you were not very worried.
Can I interpret this as you have arranged everything properly and you are sure they will be safe from harm...
Ever since you mentioned them, I have been worried about them. Can I know your plan in advance? "Sino said seriously.
"Okay, but I didn't make any special arrangements," Harold sat at the table and picked up a book leisurely.
"Tinari will graduate soon, and he has already told me about his future plans.
He will leave the Church Order Institute and become a ranger in the city of Hua. He will also be the general manager of my greenhouse, helping me cultivate sweet flowers and mint. He will also plant some of his favorite fungi in it. We should be able to eat them in the second half of this year—"
"I see. This is your confidence." Seno nodded.
"As for Lord Nafis, don't worry. Aza... I mean the great sage. He won't make things too difficult for him." Harold said.
Seno: "We have different opinions on this point. If I put myself in his shoes, I will not leave an unstable factor behind, especially since the current Sage is very conceited and cannot tolerate opposing opinions. It is almost certain that he will not be able to do so."
"Hmm, so he would probably lock up people who opposed him, but he wouldn't kill them.
On the one hand, the sages were all elites selected from various academies. In Xumi, where knowledge was supreme, killing the sages without permission was equivalent to offending all scholars. Rather than making enemies everywhere, it was better to keep these talents to help him deal with trivial matters.
On the other hand, he wanted to prove to his former opponents that he was right. You opponents were the stupid ones. He wanted them to live to see what he achieved.
For him, seeing his colleagues who were originally in the same position and always opposed him admit their mistakes and become his supporters should be more satisfying than killing them directly. "
Haroldt spoke with full confidence, and both Seno and Kavi who was listening were stunned. Kavi couldn't help but nod frequently while he was speaking.
Harold noticed their reactions and sighed in his heart: It's easy to just use a formula based on the answer.
"I understand, thank you for telling me this,"
Seno listened quietly, his tone obviously lighter.
"In fact, just yesterday, the Church of the Holy Trinity received a letter for help from the 'Rose Witch' of Mond.
You should have heard of the name of the Rose Witch Lisa. She is a rare genius in the Church of the Immortals, and she is also my senior.
That's why she wrote to ask for help. The Order knew this and sent me as an envoy to Mondstadt.
I should have explained everything to you at the beginning of today and asked for a four-month vacation, but the things you analyzed and the whole set of plans that followed made me hesitate.
But now I have changed my mind, Harold, and nothing can happen to you before I come back."
"Go ahead and don't worry, Senior Seno. Remember to bring back some Mond specialties." Harold said with a smile.
I can also bring back Tinari’s disciple, Cole, the student candidate I have my eyes on.
Harold thought with pleasure.
When Seno mentioned the letter for help from the 'Rose Witch' Lisa, he knew that Seno was going to Mond to bring little Cole back to Xumi.
