Chapter 245 Harold: Planting Flowers
On Saturday, Seno was still on his way to Mond to carry out a mission, so only four people attended the society event.
Setare brought intel from the Sages' meeting on Friday.
"After the great sage spoke, Lord Nafis immediately attacked him, asking him why he didn't include the appearance of the Little Auspicious Grass King in his speech, and why he didn't reply to his letter. Is he planning something?
He said, "As long as it involves the gods, even the most insignificant things can ferment into a catastrophe that changes the situation in Xumi.
As the leader of the six colleges with permanent teaching positions in the Order of the Church, and the senior officials who manage Xumi by handling the affairs of the Order of the Church, the Sage should have the right to know all major decisions made by the Great Sage.
If you refuse to share intelligence, I will request a vote, and we will use that vote to decide what to do next.'"
Setare memorized Nafis's words word for word.
Harold listened with great interest: "What is the reaction of the great sage?"
Setare: "I am very distressed and angry, but there is nothing I can do.
Lord Nafis has always been ruthless, and he always holds himself to high standards. He always stands on the commanding heights to question other people's decisions, and the other party never dares to refute him.
So not only the scholars and teachers of the various colleges, but also the other sages did not want to confront him. As soon as he started to speak, the great sage's face turned ugly. "
Imagine.
Harold, who had exchanged letters with Nafis several times and was reprimanded for cheating on the flower hybridization experiment, was deeply touched.
Nafis was indeed nice to the younger generation like them, but he was also very cruel when he scolded them, without any mercy at all.
"Did the great sage adopt his suggestion?" asked Elhaisen. He was only concerned about the part related to the plan.
Setare nodded: "According to convention, the Great Sage cannot reject a proposal for voting initiated by other sages.
In addition, the chief clerk and the wise assistant who are responsible for recording the meeting must not be absent. "
After that, she paused and said with a hint of regret:
"If the result of the vote is to let the Great Sage disclose the information he knows about the Little Lucky Grass King, I can find out the current situation of the Little Lucky Grass King.
Unfortunately, the final vote was 3:2, with one abstention. The Great Sage rejected Lord Nafis' proposal. Lord Nafis was very angry and immediately accused the Great Sage of manipulating the vote in front of everyone. "
Harold: ...
Huh? You didn't just say it in front of the sage and the secretary?
Our sages of the Life Theory School are still so brave, let's just fight head-on. Harold rubbed his forehead.
The vote was manipulated for sure. It was estimated that half of the six sages had been bribed by Azar. Otherwise, no one would miss such a good opportunity to participate in the highest secrets of the Order.
Especially since the suggestion was made by Nafis, even if they vote in favor, the most conspicuous target will still be Nafis. They can still be targets who can be won over, and there is no need to worry that Azar will be unwilling to accept them even if they "turn to the light" in the future.
Kavi was so nervous that his heart was lifted up: "Is Lord Nafis okay? The Great Sage won't do anything to him, right?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Kavi. Lord Nafis used to do this all the time, so the Great Sage always dislikes him."
Recalling the scene where Nafis grabbed Hazard and scolded him, Setale smiled awkwardly.
"No matter what, Lord Nafis is also the leader of Amyrido College. Although on the surface, there is no distinction between the research and work of the six colleges,
However, the Amirita College was the first school to follow the Great Compassion Tree King. Its research focus was on medicine, biology, and ecology related to people's livelihood. Its status was slightly higher than that of other colleges.
In addition, the status of prestigious scholars is high, and there has been no precedent of killing sages since the establishment of the Decree Council. Therefore, when the Great Sage was angry, he only thought of dismissing Lord Nafis.
The actual action he took was just to isolate him, so that his favorite disciples refused to associate with him. "
"And if an accident happens right after an argument with the Great Sage, even if it's really just an accident, everyone will suspect the Great Sage, and his reputation will plummet." Harold said easily.
This is the Teyvat version of "don't kill the scholars". According to Azar's character, at this critical juncture, not only will he not kill him, but he will probably send someone to protect him secretly.
I was afraid that he would accidentally fall into the river or step on a stone and fall, causing me to be blamed.
Harold thought secretly.
"Oh!" With Setale's explanation and Harold's analysis, Kavi finally put his mind at ease.
El Haisen: "Given Lord Nafis's character, he will probably request another vote."
Setale nodded and said, "That's what Lord Nafis said. As long as the Great Sage doesn't tell him his plan, he will keep an eye on him. He will also remind him at every Sage meeting not to try to get away with it."
"It seems that our great sage will have a headache next." Harold snorted and laughed.
Elhaisen: "What does he think about this?"
"They were so angry that they started arguing at the sages' meeting, but the great sage restrained himself because the great secretary was there to record their words and actions," said Setale.
Harold: "So he can't scold Nafis."
Kavi glanced at him with dissatisfaction and reminded: "Lord Nafis."
"Yes, it is Lord Nafis." Harold changed his words.
"Did they mention the Little Auspicious Grass King during their argument? When people are nervous or angry, they tend to lose their rationality and say things that they shouldn't say under normal circumstances. If they talked about it, it is very likely that there will be the clues we are looking for." Elhaisen asked.
"Well... the great sage said, 'Everything will be over when the great disciplinary officer returns to Xumi. The sages of the Shenglun School don't need to worry about this matter. You might as well think more about improving the bacterial strains.'" Setale said after recalling.
"Ah? What does this have to do with Senior Seno?" Kavi blurted out, and then he held his chin with some fear, "...He must have known something, so he wants Senior Seno to arrest us, right?"
Elhaisen raised his eyes and said, "Are you surprised? If it is a case of Little Auspicious Grass King's conspiracy, imprisonment, or death, it is easy to guess that someone behind the scenes wants to use Little Auspicious Grass King's name to plan something. It is normal to send a disciplinary officer to investigate."
"He is waiting for the Grand Disciplinary Officer. Coincidentally, I am also waiting for Senior Senor to come back." Harold said with a smile.
"Now we can be sure that only the Great Sage is sure that the Little Auspicious Grass King will not show up. But it doesn't matter. As long as we wait patiently, we will definitely get more information."
Setare thought for a moment and said hesitantly:
"I think the great sage will go to the Jingshan Palace next. If the time he spends there is significantly longer than before, he is probably carefully checking the equipment inside, or talking to the little Jixiang Grass King...
In the face of such a situation, as long as Little Auspicious Grass King is still in the Jingshan Palace, even if the Great Sage is very confident in himself, he should still have doubts. Does that rule out the possibility that Little Auspicious Grass King has fallen? "
El Haisen praised: "Good idea."
"That's right, so next I'll have to trouble Senior Setale to pay attention to the movements of the Great Sage." Harold said.
Setale nodded and said seriously, "I will pay attention and inform everyone immediately if there is any progress."
...
After the society's activities, Harold bought two boat tickets to the port of Ormos. Before the greenhouse was completed, he wrote to Dolly and asked her to buy him a batch of high-quality sweet flowers and mint for the hybridization experiment of the lily.
Sweet flowers, mint and deceitful flowers are different in that they have obvious individual differences, so Haroldt is very careful in the selection of plants.
When Dolly wrote to let him know that the first batch of plants she had requested had arrived, he immediately took the time to go and check them out.
After meeting Dolly, the petite merchant lifted the cloth covering the plants. Xumi has a hot climate, and mint and sweet flowers bloom in April, and some bloom in mid-March.
The plants Dolly purchased had not yet bloomed. Harold checked their stems and leaves, confirmed that they were correct, paid the purchase price, and then asked Dolly to send someone to transport them to Huachengguo.
Everything there has been set up, including the internal combustion engine, air conditioning, fully automatic pollen collector (for students), etc., and we can officially start research when they bloom.
