Chapter 328 Harold: Tool Man
Harold: ...
Such pure Haiyan Haiyu, it must be Al Haisen Benson.
Kavi was so angry that he turned into a wind slime: "You! I was just joking! Can't you hear that? Is it because you've been here that water has entered your brain tissue?!"
"I'm just curious about when you started practicing. Is the job of a chief clerk very easy? After all, you're a high-ranking official in the Order."
Harold coughed lightly and tried to smooth things over. I felt that if they continued to argue, it would turn into a fight between elementary school students.
"Not bad. The job of a clerk is simple, and the Great Sage wanted to win me over, so it was natural for me to join his camp. As a result, the number of documents I had to deal with during working hours decreased. Usually, when they passed through my hands, they were already second or third hand, and many things had been eliminated in advance by the Great Sage." Elhaisen replied.
"Have they really started to take action?" When talking about this topic, Kavi put aside the previous unpleasantness and asked nervously in a low voice.
Elhaisen said calmly, "The 'traveler' that the Order of the Lords values left Liyue and arrived at Inazuma. The Fatui accepted the second Heart of God with a smile. One of the executors is heading to Inazuma. These are all things that happened while you were away."
"Ah? Then why didn't you contact us?" Kavi asked in surprise.
"Will it work? Even if I share all the intelligence I have collected with you, can you come back within a day?" Elhaisen said slowly. Before Kavi could refute, he added,
"Furthermore, winning over the top officials of the Decree Council and intercepting and modifying documents are not radical actions. The actions of the Fatui have only proved their sincerity and ability to the Great Sage. The relationship between the two sides has become more ambiguous, and the Great Sage believes that the preparations can be further advanced. That's all."
"How is Lord Nafis?" Harold asked. In his expectation, the Six Sages were the ones that Azar had to win over. Once he made a move, Nafis would be the first to bear the brunt.
Elhaisen: "I haven't heard from him recently. The requests of the Shenglun scholars to see the sage have all been rejected. It is very likely that he has been secretly imprisoned. You are on good terms with his most valued disciple, so you must have made a confirmation plan in advance."
Harold nodded: "I will go to Huachengguo to confirm with Tinari right away."
Then he rubbed his temples and said with a wry smile, "I just came back and I have to go out again. I really don't have a day off - where is Miss Setale? How is she?"
Elhaisen said, "Last week, Miss Setale also sent a letter saying that she would quit the society to focus on her work."
"It means that Azar and her are in a mess. Well... she is Azar's confidant. Since it has developed to the point of winning over other sages, it must be related to the assistant of the great sage.
It is conceivable that all her private activities will be closely monitored in the future. We cannot contact her rashly in the near future, at least not until Azar relaxes his guard...
But it is necessary to send her a letter of condolence and ask someone to send her some desert specialties. It would be strange if the companions who returned from the voyage learned that their friend had quit the society without any doubt. "Harold said carefully.
Kavi opened his mouth. He had not expected the situation to develop so quickly, but he agreed with the other two and did not say anything.
"Where is Senior Seno?" Harold asked again.
Elhaisen replied: "He had several conflicts with the Great Sage, who intended to sideline him. Not long ago, he told me about his idea of leaving the House of the Magisterium and going to Omos Port, Kawan Station and other places to gather intelligence.
I suggest that he be patient for now. Perhaps the two who go to the desert will be able to gather some valuable intelligence in the area where the influence of the House of the Order is weakest."
"Indeed, we found some strange things in Aru Village." Harold nodded.
He exiled the "mad scholars" of the Order to Aru Village. The strange conditions of these "mad scholars" and the void devices that were not recovered in time were elaborated in Elhaisen.
Finally, he talked about his own guess: "I think the House of the Decrees values those people very much. They will take these scholars away at a specific time. Combined with the coincidence in time, it is hard not to think that this matter is related to the plan of the Great Sage."
"It's a reasonable guess," Elhaisen nodded, lowering his eyes in thought, "...The mystery of the 'Mad Scholar' may be a key. If we solve it, most of the missing puzzle pieces will be filled in."
"Then let Senior Saino go to Aru Village?" Kavi thought quickly, "Senior Saino's ancestors were desert people. If he disguises himself, maybe he can get more information from the villagers."
"During working hours, I will find a chance to inform him that the Great Sage intends to exclude him from the plan. His choice of 'self-exile' before this is the approach that will least alert the higher-ups." Elhaisen said calmly.
"You have to be careful too, Senior Elhaisen. Although you have successfully infiltrated the inner circle, I don't think Azar trusts you very much. There may be more than a dozen pairs of eyes watching you in the House of Religion." Harold said with a smile.
"Any secret operation carries certain risks, and I have gained more trust than you think." Elhaisen disagreed with Harold's opinion.
"Really?" Harold was skeptical.
"You can still talk to us face to face about this. If you really integrate into the core circle and become the backbone of the 'small group', Azar will persuade you to settle in the Fatwa House and build a luxurious staff dormitory for you.
But he didn't, and let you live with two people of unclear positions. Does that mean he also wants to recruit us?"
Upon hearing this, the corners of Elhaisen's mouth rose by two pixels.
Harold choked and rubbed his forehead: "No way? Did I really guess it right? The former or the latter?"
"The former, but it's not a luxurious staff dormitory. It's another separate high-quality property near the Church of the Lord." Elhaisen was in a good mood.
...house...?!
Is it too late to join Hazard's group?
Haroldt hissed. As a flower-growing family in his previous life, he always had an inexplicable obsession with real estate.
Harold remained silent, so Elhaisen continued, "So I suggested that you take the exam earlier, but you are not that eager for a comfortable and easy job, and with your assets, you can definitely afford a property near the Church of the Lord."
"That's a bit off topic, so you plan to move away?" Harold asked.
"So sudden?" Kavi blurted out.
Elhaisen: "Or you can accept the invitation of the Great Sage. He is now actively recruiting well-known scholars. It is said within the Academy of Religious Orders that the Great Sage is mobilizing the strength of the six academies to develop an important project.
If you are willing to surrender, he will certainly accept it, and he will not mind three "colleagues" living together. "
Has it come to this point? Haroldt pondered in his mind and quickly came to a conclusion.
"I think we should leave a few people to contact the 'traveler'." Harold walked to the sofa and sat down, looking like he was going to give a long speech.
Kavi was stunned for two seconds, then sat on the sofa and waited for what happened next.
