Chapter 305 Harold: Tricking the teacher!
Inside the crude tent, Harold turned on the communication device, and after the light screen appeared, he immediately adjusted its angle so that his face would appear in the center of the light screen on the other holder's side.
Kusela, who followed Harold into the tent, was surprised to find a familiar face appeared on the light screen in front of Harold. It was his adopted daughter, Dishia, who had left "Ahmar's Beard" alone a long time ago.
He couldn't help holding his breath, fearing that his voice would be heard by the person on the light screen. Because he was too nervous, he even ignored the obviously unusual communication device in Haroldt's hand.
After Dishia contacted Harold in the rain forest, she immediately noticed something unusual. She turned her blue eyes and asked casually, "You came so early this time. Did you encounter a sandstorm? Why didn't you rest in your tent?"
Harold guessed why she asked that, chuckled in his heart, and said in the same casual tone: "I have temporarily left the caravan."
Dishia's eyes widened slightly.
Leaving the caravan? Aren't you the leader? Can a leader leave the caravan at will?!
As if he didn't notice Dixia's surprise, Harold continued: "I am working with your father now. He is right next to me. Do you want to say something to him?"
The more Dixia listened, the more her pupils dilated. By the end, in addition to surprise, her face was filled with anger and anxiety. She raised her voice slightly: "I was not kidding you before!"
When Harold had asked her about her relatives, she had clearly told him that her father was a member of the "Relic of the God-King" and was an out-and-out villain.
At the same time, she also told him about her feelings when she left "Ahmar's Beard". Harold immediately said that her choice was correct, but Harold still got in touch with Kusela.
But even though she was very dissatisfied with Harold's behavior and worried about his situation, she still did not remind him to "run", because Harold said Kusela was next to him, and she was worried that her overreaction would anger Kusela and make him attack Harold directly.
But she changed her mind and felt that Harold was not such an impulsive person. He was too shrewd to put himself in danger without being sure of the outcome.
Could it be that there is another hidden story behind this matter?
Dixia thought suspiciously.
She looked at Harold again and found that he remained calm after her warning, so she relaxed a little. But before she could calm down for long, Harold dragged the person she tried her best to forget in front of the screen.
Harold took two steps back, and as Kucera dodged his gaze, he crossed his arms and said, "The operation will begin in two days. I think it will be good for both of us to take this opportunity to talk things out."
There is a lot of information in this sentence.
Dixia looked carefully at her father's extremely old face that appeared on the light screen, and saw the crutches he was leaning on. The doubts in her heart were infinitely magnified.
What happened? When I left, he was as strong as a pack animal. How did he become like this in just a few years?
Kusela was in a semi-dazed state until he was dragged in front of the screen, but thinking that he was about to put an end to the "Legacy of the God-King" and that the people in front of the screen were waiting for his answer, he organized his words and selectively spit out what had happened.
But even the deleted and revised content still shocked Dixia greatly. While listening to Kusela's explanation, her brain crashed several times.
After Kusela finished speaking, he let out a long sigh. After telling Dishiya the secret buried in his heart, his years of depression seemed to be swept away. He raised his head and met Dishiya's gaze - during the explanation, he did not dare to look into his daughter's eyes.
"...Wait, you suddenly said so much...How come I have never heard of these things?!" Dixia was a little incoherent, obviously she had not yet digested this information.
After taking a break, she rubbed her forehead and said angrily, "How long did you plan to keep it a secret from me? Who told you to act on your own? You just said 'two days later'? You are going to implement that plan in two days?!"
After getting a positive answer, Dixia became even more upset. This meant that she had no time to reunite with her father and the others. She could only wait for their news as a bystander. She hadn't felt this powerless for a long time.
Damn it, why didn't you say anything when I asked you before? Now you tell me that you have other reasons? Dad, are you really addicted to playing the hero?
Dixia had a lot to say to Kusela at this moment. She wanted to ask her father why he had been hiding it from her, and how sure were they.
If Kusela was in front of her now, she would probably grab his collar and scold him, and then tell him that you are cool, but I don't like it.
But in the end, she swallowed all the words back into her stomach, leaving only one sentence: "Dad, come back alive, I will go back to the desert in a while, and I want to hear you tell me these things in detail again."
Kucera: "Dishia..."
"Dad, remember to come back alive, otherwise I will hate you!" Dixia emphasized again, and then turned her eyes to Harold.
Seeing the other party giving her a comforting look, her nervous heart calmed down a little. She knew that her father would do something messy, as could be seen from what he had done before, but Haroldt would not.
Dixia's gaze stayed on Haroldt's face for three seconds, and she silently requested: I'll leave Dad to you!
"Dixia, have you sent the experimental data of the past few days to the teacher?"
Elias's voice came from behind the door. By the time it reached the desert through the communication equipment, it had become much weaker, but all three people present heard it.
"No, we were just talking about something else. Please pass it on. I feel a little uncomfortable and need to rest first." Dixia held her forehead and said with a complicated expression.
She said this to Radu as well as to Harold and Kucera.
Harold knew that Dixia's worldview had been greatly impacted. Although she had temporarily suppressed her inner feelings because of the imminent war and did not show any major abnormalities, there must have been turbulent waves in her heart, and she needed time to adjust her mentality.
Kusela was still immersed in Dishia's words, and his determination to survive became even stronger.
Elias asked with some concern: "Are you okay? Do you need Teacher Tinari to come and check on you?"
"I'm fine, just too tired. I just need to rest for a while." Dixia said, and left the room with a somewhat unnatural expression.
"She's fine. With Miss Dishia's personality, she would never keep it to herself if she was unwell—" Harold said, turning his gaze to Elias, "Give me the latest research records."
"Okay." Elias immediately held the record book in front of the screen and turned the pages one by one for Harold to see.
Harold read intently, while Kucera was confused by the complex symbols on one or two pages.
This is what Deshia is studying? My daughter can actually understand this?!
Kusela felt an inexplicable sense of pride.
Harold nodded slightly after reading it. This small gesture made Elias secretly happy. He felt that their research progress had been recognized by the tutor. So after flipping through the record book, without waiting for Harold to speak, he said earnestly:
"Teacher, a new batch of dual-element mother plants have borne fruit! Thanks to the help of Teacher Elhaisen, we were able to greatly shorten the development period of the fertilized eggs!"
When he heard "Teacher Elhaisen", the smile on Haroldt's face froze for a moment.
Didn't I tell you not to look for him if you have nothing to do?!
He had the illusion that all the income from this business trip flew away, and the Three Elements Flower that was about to be in his hands suddenly lost its appeal.
"Don't bother our 'chief clerk' with such trivial matters." Haroldt emphasized the last few words. Wouldn't it be nice to get your teacher Tinari for free?
