Chapter 262 Harold: I predicted your prediction
After teasing Elhaisen, Harold picked up the key from the table and went to the House of Religious Orders to ask Nafis to issue him a false certificate.
The certificate said that he had a new project that needed to be backed up by the clerk so that he could go to Elhaisen to do things openly under the nose of the Great Sage.
It proves that it was stamped by a sage, so it can’t actually be considered a fake document?
Thinking about the freeze-dried wine he had just given, Harold's mind drifted away. My crime was actually bribing the clerk? Well... I shouldn't have given the money. If I didn't give the money, it wouldn't be a bribe.
Harold thought so, and while enduring Nafis's "earnest teachings", he smiled and took out the recent research on "Jia Rang's Benefit" in killing males and promoting females.
Nafis took the document from Harold with a sullen look on his face, stroking the thick stack of documents in his hand. Thinking of the young man he favored who was still doing research outside the city, his expression eased a lot.
Nafis flipped through the documents and read Radu's findings, hypotheses, Harold's research team's research records on "The Blessing of Jiarang", and the draft of the paper. He couldn't help but blink, took off his glasses, wiped them, and put them back on.
After carefully reading the contents of the document and evaluating the authenticity of the photos and data inside, he nodded and smiled with satisfaction:
"This potion can actually control the sex of plants? This is something that even the owner of the Eye of God cannot do. Harold, you must study it in depth.
Maybe one day, all Xumi people will be able to artificially regulate plant growth and development, allowing our crops and fruit trees to grow faster and better, so that all Xumi people can eat fresher and more delicious food. "
Harold maintained a humble smile and nodded slightly, thinking: In fact, we discovered plant hormones (ethylene) before we discovered the "Benefit of Jiarang", but we should not tell Nafis yet. On the one hand, it is necessary to protect ourselves, and on the other hand, it is impossible to industrially produce ethylene with the current technology of Teyvat.
Nafis looked at Harold and couldn't help sighing:
"I have a feeling that once these research results are systematically summarized, they will become the key to promoting agricultural development. Once your paper is written, it will be a model worth recording in the void for other scholars to refer to.
And you, are just a group of teenagers under the age of eighteen, it is amazing, and it is obvious that your academic achievements have surpassed mine.
All this is due to your brilliant ideas, hard work and good judgment. No wonder your mentor always says that you have the potential to be a great sage."
Harold: ...
I haven't heard this title for a long time and I almost forgot it.
He quickly said: "The original idea of 'Jia Rang's benefit came from my student Radu, and my disciples Ilyas and Murtada, all of whom are good and sincere, with loyal and pure intentions..."
Nafis, who was not familiar with Harold's students, just nodded slowly and said politely: "They do have extraordinary talents."
Then he stamped the certificate and handed it to Harold.
Harold thanked him and was about to leave when he saw an email on Nafis's desk. The letter was signed by Tinari.
He suddenly stopped as if he had thought of something, let his eyes rest on the envelope on the table, and pretended to be thoughtful and asked: "Lord Nafis, did Tinari mention the greenhouse materials to you?"
Nafis followed Harold's line of sight and after seeing where Harold's line of sight was, he pushed his round glasses and said half-jokingly, "Why, you can't wait for me to allocate funds to buy new glass so that you can take the opportunity to make a fortune?"
Harold deliberately showed a look of surprise.
As Harold had expected, Nafis reached for the letter on the table and opened it:
"I wonder how I knew that? Last month, I learned something incredible from a letter from Tinari: that new type of glass was actually invented by you.
Although everyone has the right to read the records of 'tempered glass', only you found business opportunities in it."
At this point, Nafis's expression was a little complicated. "I didn't ask for it in advance, but Tinari always mentioned you in his letters. His opinion of you is basically the same as mine.
I also want to thank you for your Mingcai Bird. Our correspondence has become much more convenient and I am very happy to learn about your recent situation.
Ahem, in this letter he mentioned that you have planted a lot of sweet flowers and mint recently - we have to slow down the process of purchasing greenhouse materials, as Azar has started to block our funding again. "
Nafis thought that Harold was so interested in the letter because he was eager to know whether the Lifeists were interested in purchasing glass.
He knew that Azar had recently deliberately blocked the funding for the Shenglun faction, which was closely related to the sharp deterioration of their relationship after the appearance of the Little Jixiang Grass King.
"I understand." Harold said, lowering his head slightly.
In fact, he didn't really care that the Vitalists had been slow to buy the glass. He didn't think Nafis would miss out on this new material.
In order to prevent being eavesdropped, he had even told Tinari about what Setare and Senor had seen and heard in the House of the Decree, as well as their speculations, and told him that the Great Sage might be monitoring all the high-level officials of the House of the Decree through the void.
Tinari immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and wanted to write a letter to Nafis to remind him to leave Xumi City as soon as possible.
But Harold stopped him and told him that it would be safest for Nafis to stay in Xumi City.
