Chapter 261 Harold: No?

"I am very interested in the research of a scholar named Alva Nicola, but his thesis is not recorded in the void. Can you find the relevant information for me to see? The more detailed the better."

Harold omitted all the prelude and spoke directly.

Elhaisen raised his eyes and said, "There is indeed relevant information in the archives. I remember that the scholar named 'Alva Nicola'

His only registered project was the 'Nikola Coil', and his research direction was 'creating artificial lightning as a weapon based on the Abyss Mage's Lightning Element Circle'.

But his research remained at the theoretical stage, and the Fatwas ruled that it was not worth pursuing in depth. Is this what you are looking for? "

Sure enough, there is one! That's easy.

Harold nodded and said with a smile: "After all, I am just a weak scholar. After learning about the conspiracy of the great sage, I want to find some weapons to protect myself.

There is also Senior Kawi, whose combat capability is relatively weak, so this weapon that does not require one's own elemental power to trigger is a great safety guarantee.

Especially since its principle has not been recorded into the void, and most people in the Order Institute do not know its purpose, this kind of weapon is simply impossible to defend against.

I think the Council of Religious Orders is too arbitrary to reject a topic based on the title and brief description alone. Senior Nicholas, his idea is very good. What do you think, Senior Elhaisen?"

Elhaisen said calmly: "I have read his documents. His ideas are boring and his theories lack logic. If I were the reviewer, I would reject his funding application with similar reasons.

Once he tried to put his theoretical weapons into practice, he found that many problems could not be solved, among which the lack of containers, lack of transmission devices, and lack of lethality were the most critical.

You said you wanted to make his theoretical weapon and use it to protect yourself and Kawi. I think it would be more practical for you to supervise him and yourself from now on, maintain a regular life and exercise your physical strength and mastery of elemental power."

"What you said makes sense, but I do lack some effective means to deal with sneak attacks from the rear. The 'Nikola Coil' just makes up for this." Harold said with a smile.

And do you think that Kavi and I would not stay up late? You might as well kill us with a sword if you want us to maintain a regular life.

Harold shrugged in his heart, obviously having a clear understanding of what kind of people he and Kavi were.

Elhaisen crossed his arms across his chest, his tone revealing his distrust of Haroldt's words:

"Why don't you say you want to use this weapon to promote the evolution of the Deceitful Flower or improve the hybridization experiment? This statement is obviously more feasible than what you just said. After all, I don't know much about your research. You can use the information gap to convince me."

Tricking you? Do you think I don’t know how difficult this is?! Harold muttered to himself.

At the same time, he rubbed his forehead helplessly and said with a smile: "This is too troublesome. In my guess, senior will not ask so many questions, because it will not waste much of senior's time, and it will not violate the decree of the Ministry of Religious Affairs, so senior, can you help me?"

Harold thought calmly: There is one good thing about communicating with Elhaisen. Even if he knows that I am hiding something,

But as long as he is sure that my behavior will not endanger himself or Xumi, and will not touch his bottom line, he will not insist on asking for clarification. He would rather take a long-term view in the future and explore the truth himself in daily interactions.

"It seems that you have a good idea," Elhaisen said with a smile on his face.

"Let's leave this topic for now. I don't think you need to ask for my opinion. I am also curious about how you will revive that useless research. Tomorrow during working hours, bring the certificate issued by Lord Nafis to see me at the Ministry of Education. I will give you what you want."

Thank you, you think so highly of me.

Harold shrugged his shoulders and thought,

But "useless research"? Elhaisen was really merciless in criticizing his predecessor.

That "Nicholas" is the great inventor appointed by Michael. Although he did not appear in the main storyline, Michael praised him very highly. There are two Easter eggs hidden in the name "Alva Nicola".

You should know that "Alva" is Edison's middle name, and "Nikola" is Tesla's family name, yes, the Tesla that later became a physics unit.

When I first discovered this easter egg, I thought it was a foreshadowing. Maybe in some future version of the big event Xumi will bring out things like radios and telephones.

Then the seven nations will be able to communicate in real time when they team up to fight Tenri. Hmm... shouldn't we use a joke at this time, like "My Sumeru's technology is the best in Teyvat!"?

Haroldt nodded slightly as he thought about it, "Senior, you really helped me a lot."

El Haisen: "Then let's move on to the next step, the issue of my remuneration."

After the task is accomplished, you will be named the Great Sage of Xumi and enjoy a million-dollar allowance.

Harold said this in his heart, but on the surface, he thought about it seriously and asked in a questioning tone: "One year's worth of frozen-dried Dun Dun peaches?"

"Convert it into Mora and pay it off within a month." Alhaisen replied.

Harold narrowed his eyes and asked in a joking tone, "I want Mora... Come to think of it, I haven't seen you eating much recently. Are you really trying to manage your body?"

It seems that I was really hurt by what senior Kavi said, "I've gained weight."

Elhaisen did not think that this question was worth avoiding. He said calmly, "Adjusting diet and lifestyle according to actual conditions is a basic lesson for scholars. Harold, you and Kavi need to remember this."
