Chapter 263 Harold: No?
Tinari's sensitivity to current events is lower than his academic ability, but the young man who is praised as a rare genius in the House of Lords is naturally smart.
After Harold sternly stopped him from writing to Nafis, he did not wait for Harold to explain, but only thought about it for a moment and understood the whole story.
Tinari: "You mean, letting the teacher leave the Order Institute gave the Great Sage an opportunity to take action?"
Harold nodded and added in his mind: Not only does it give Azar the opportunity to attack Nafis, but you have to arrange a place for him to live after you bring Nafis out, right? As his most trusted and promising disciple, can you not live close to him?
So when Azar wanted to kill someone, did he also kill you, the disciple of the sage, to eliminate the trouble forever? So that you wouldn't have to avenge your master in the future.
So, to prevent the conspiracy from being exposed, will I, a peaceful farmer, as your good friend and now half-neighbor, also be included in Azar's purge list?
The combat power of Xumi City is not enough, but if the doctor comes in person, with the combat power of a demon god, he may not be able to escape.
Anyway, we live in the wild all year round, so it's not surprising that anything unexpected happened. Although we are somewhat famous in the Institute of Ordinances, we almost cut off contact with other scholars after graduation, and their knowledge of us is only limited to some of our recent research and academic papers.
The fact that a sage and two young talented scholars "had an accident" at the same time would naturally make the people in the Ministry of Education sigh with regret, but that was all. It was normal for [three scholars who knew each other to go out for research together and unfortunately encountered an accident],
Even if they are more famous than ordinary scholars in Xumi, this matter will soon be forgotten by everyone -
Uh... besides my two roommates, there are Seno, Setale and others. They have guessed part of the truth and will definitely suspect Azar. They will definitely expose his crimes in the end, but by then we will all be gone. Even if you can really convince the Grass God to kill Azar, you can't resurrect us.
Therefore, the only beneficiary of letting Nafis leave the city is actually Azar. He has eliminated the thorn in his side and some unstable factors without any effort, and his status will not be affected in any way. He can even do some tricks in the selection of the new sage of the Asana school and arrange his own confidants to take up this position.
The number of sages who firmly opposed Azar was reduced from two to one, and people were under more pressure when fighting alone. The sages of the Yin-theory School, who were dissatisfied with Azar and temporarily formed an alliance with Nafis, might also temporarily switch sides...
Haroldt had thought about these things a long time ago and analyzed the personalities of the master and disciple. He came to the conclusion that Tinari should have known about Azar's plan to create a god, but Nafis must not have known about it.
So in this frank conversation with Tinari, Harold first elaborated on his previous analysis of Hazard's character to Cavi,
In this speech, he used Tian Feng's speculation about his fate after being imprisoned by Yuan Shao. Wise people always think clearly, so both Kavi and Tinari are persuaded by this speech and believe that Azar will not kill Nafis.
This is the fact. If Nafis stays in the House of the Decrees, he will at most be imprisoned and suffer some physical pain. During the period of imprisonment of Nafis, Azar may announce to the public that the sage of the Assumptionist school is in seclusion for research or in a quiet place to write a thesis.
But he couldn't imprison Nafis for life. The sage of the Order House not only had to deal with trivial matters of the academy, but also served as a role model for the academy and often had to appear in front of the public.
It is impossible for him to be like the elders of a certain major sect in the world of immortal cultivation, who would go into seclusion for fifty or sixty years and whose bodies would turn into jade without anyone noticing.
Even if Azar could find an acting sage to handle all the affairs of Amyrido Academy, a sage's long-term absence from public appearances would cause considerable controversy. The limit that Azar could do to allow Nafis to "seclude himself" for two years was just one step.
Then, Harold told Tinari about Setare's tradition that Sumeru does not kill sages. After all the groundwork was laid, he gave his own opinion.
Harold: "Let Lord Nafis stay in the House of the Decrees. You have to keep this matter secret from him. Lord Nafis is a man who cannot tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes. Given his character, if you tell him our guess, whether he believes it or not, he will definitely confront Azar immediately, and then things will be bad."
Harold said, shrugging helplessly.
Thinking about his teacher's straightforward personality, Tinari sighed and agreed with Harold's words:
"You are right. Only by letting nature take its course can we keep our teacher safe. Now that you have found a way to quickly travel between Xumi City and Huachengguo, you are well-informed. If anything big happens over there, I hope you can tell me in time."
He believed that Harold had his own sources of intelligence, and the special devices in Harold's hands made it possible for him to transmit intelligence quickly. In Tinari's view, Harold had the confidence and ability to resolve this matter safely.
"Of course. I'm telling you these things today because I hope I can get your help when I need it in the future." Harold nodded, then changed the subject, "Did you and Lord Nafis agree on any special codes when delivering letters?"
In the original game plot, after Tinari graduated and before leaving Xumi City, he agreed on a secret code with Nafis. Nafis made special marks in Tinari's subsequent letters.
Later, when the god-making plan was in its later stages, Azar was in urgent need of manpower, so he asked someone to imitate Nafis's notes to write a letter to Tinari, hoping to recall Tinari to serve his plan. However, there was no mark left by Nafis in the letter they imitated, so Tinari guessed that his teacher might have met with an accident.
But now, Tinari had invited Harold to read Nafis's letters with him several times, because the two worked very close to each other, and Nafis would always ask about Harold's situation in his letters to Tinari.
Haroldt read the letters very carefully every time, from the punctuation at the end of the sentence, special symbols to the arrangement of the sentences, he did not find any so-called secret codes in these letters.
There may be two reasons for this situation. First, his appearance disrupted the original plot.
Because of the influence of this time traveler, Tinari, who had just been in school for a few weeks, decided to come to Huachengguo to farm and found a career direction. Naturally, he graduated earlier than in the original plot.
Hmm...so Nafis was not wrong in a sense when he accused me of kidnapping his most proud disciple?
This has gone a bit off topic, so let's get back to the point. At the time when Tinari graduated, Hazard was acting quite low-key. He didn't reveal any clues, so Nafis naturally didn't think it necessary to bother making any mark.
The second possibility is that I simply didn’t notice it.
In the original plot, the person who forged the letter that Azar found didn't notice anything unusual. Azar wanted to find someone to do such an important thing in order to deceive the wise disciple and the famous master of the Shenglun School, Tinari.
He certainly won't just pick anyone and give him this task. Hazard will definitely find the best in this field. Even these counterfeiting experts can't see any tricks, so it's normal that I can't see any.
The second possibility is more likely. I hope my worry is unnecessary, Harold thought.
"...A secret code? No." Tinari frowned slightly and guessed, "Does this also concern the teacher's safety?"
I actually drew a bad lot. Harold rubbed his forehead with a headache:
"No, even without the code, Lord Nafis is safe. But if there is a code, we can be sure that those letters were written by Lord Nafis himself. We can obtain some intelligence that only the top leaders know, and to a certain extent, we can also grasp Azar's movements."
In simple terms, when there are marks, Nafis has not been imprisoned, Azar's plan is in the early stages, and his letter is worth studying repeatedly. When there are no marks, it means he is about to take action, and his plan is in the middle and late stages, and the information contained in "Nafis's letter" is very little.
Harold paused and continued, "Although I can confirm Lord Nafis's situation by visiting him frequently, I cannot have too much contact with Lord Nafis now. This will bring disaster to me and my companions in the future."
