Chapter 344 Kavi: Spare Me
A Ru Village
A short man in a long robe walked on the cobblestone street, most of his face hidden by the shadow of his hood, with only the bottom of his nose and lips exposed.
Since opening up to foreign trade, Aru Village has suffered from severe population loss. There are not many people setting up stalls, and most of them are old and young. In addition, there are often outsiders visiting. Such attire only attracts the attention of some residents or mercenaries, but no one cares too much.
The robed man's gaze fell on several people sitting on the stone steps. Those people wore green robes and wore void rings on their ears, looking like scholars, but their eyes were unusually dull. Some of them looked up at the sky quietly, while others stared at the ground, regardless of the people coming and going nearby.
The man in the robe was startled, then he quickly walked to the men, bent down and looked at one of them.
"...Karim? You are Karim? Do you remember me?" The man raised his hood, revealing a face with red eyes, silver hair, and honey-colored skin.
He pointed at himself and said, "Senuo, I drove away the treasure-stealing group that robbed you and escorted you to Huachenggu. It was only two months ago... What happened to you after I left? Why did you come here?"
Seno asked a series of questions, but the scholar being questioned just stared at the sky in silence, as if the person in front of him was an invisible person.
Seno continued: "...Aren't you practicing? Could it be that...something happened in the forest?"
He was answered only by silence.
Seno stood up with a heavy heart and pulled his hood, leaving half of his face covered by the shadow of the hood. He looked around, reached out to the void device at his ear, tapped it lightly, and wanted to look up the information of these crazy scholars.
[Insufficient authority! ! ]
The huge red font occupied the entire screen, and the harsh warning sound made Seno close his eyes angrily: Damn, my movements are indeed restricted.
But I cannot remove the void device... If I lose the means to keep track of my location at all times, the people in the Order Institute will activate the void calculation. They will soon discover that my actions deviate from the trajectory of the void calculation, and then suspect Elhaisen, who has the right to modify personal files.
Seno took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, his gaze became calm and firm: "It is our fault that we, the disciplinary officers, let you suffer this kind of thing. I will definitely find out the truth and restore you to normal!"
This promise still did not cause any ripples. The crazy scholars sitting on the steps looked up at the sky, looked down at the ground, and did not even pay attention to this great disciplinary officer who appeared out of nowhere.
Seno put away his robe and looked towards the northwest: The next step is to go to the abandoned hospital to look for clues, and then go to the rain forest... to disrupt the great sage's plans.

Xumi City, underground research institute
“…Before the end of the world, the Great Sage will save us all!
The World Tree will not wither! The Great Sage is the root that constantly grabs nutrients from the ground, and everyone standing here is a leaf on the tree. We will form a solid sand-proof wall to keep the wind and sand out of Xumi City! Thank you, Great Sage!"
The green-robed official said something similar for the fourth time in three hours. Kavi felt like he had lost all hope in life, but on the surface he had to pretend to be fearful, confused, shocked, puzzled, and finally obedient.
Fortunately, it has entered the third stage now. When the official glanced at him, he pretended to be deeply touched again and said, "Thank you, great sage!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door and a light cough.
"Cough cough."
Everyone in the room, except for the bound Kavi, immediately stood still: "Great Sage!"
The door was pushed open and Azar walked in. Unlike the serious and rigid officials in green robes, he said in a gentle manner: "Thank you for your hard work, everyone - huh? What are you doing?"
He looked at the tied-up men and boxes with a look of slight astonishment.
The leader reported somewhat awkwardly: "Great Sage, Mr. Kavi is a little uncooperative, so we have no choice but to..."
"This is outrageous! Mr. Kavi is an outstanding scholar of the Sahavara Academy, the hope of Xumi. How can you treat him like this?!" Azar scolded, "Untie him now!"
"...good!"
The officials immediately untied Kavi and Mehrak.
Kavi rubbed his wrist, looked at Hazard with a somewhat nervous look, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Mr. Kavi, I'm sorry that because of these people's presumption, our first face-to-face conversation has to be in this way." Hazard shook his head.
"No... Actually, I can understand. I know you are conducting a very dangerous experiment that concerns the future of Xumi." Kavi said hesitantly.
"Have you heard about it? I originally planned to explain the details myself--" Hazard glanced, and the subordinates around him immediately nodded frequently, indicating that they had indeed told Kavi everything.
"There may be some omissions in what they said. Let me say it again. Because this matter is of great importance, I hope you can listen patiently."
Hazard said amiably, "We are facing a huge crisis—"
No way, again?! This is the beginning again? Can you change the content to something new?
Kavi wanted to cry but had no tears, but in order to get into Hazard's small group, he could only pretend to be focused and nodded slightly from time to time to show his approval of Hazard's ideas.
...
"cheers!"
The traveler and his white floating spirit raised their glasses of juice together. The white-haired young man with a pair of red horns on his head in front of them was already drinking the wine.
"Boss, everyone is looking at you."
The green-haired woman's cold voice penetrated the man's ears, and at the same time he felt a pain in his arm.
"...Ahem, well, I said just bear with it. Just a verbal reminder will do." Arawaki Ichito lowered his voice and frowned.
"Hey, Traveler, they really are the prototypes of Prince Thunder and Princess Thunder in "Slime Continent", exactly the same as in the novel." Paimon said in a low voice.
Sora nodded:
[1. "The heroic Princess Lei and her mascot brother."
2. "Prince Lei and his external brain."】
"Hahahaha, so you guys also watch Slime Land? Then you must also play War of the Seven Kings, right? Do you want to compete with me?"
Arata Ichito happily pointed at himself with his thumb, "My card skills are well-known far and wide, and I'm nicknamed 'The King of Seven Kings'!"
"Hmm...it seems like he doesn't care at all that the readers of Slime Continent have voted him as the person with the lowest IQ in the entire book for fifteen consecutive months. He still really likes Slime Continent!" Paimon whispered into Sora's ear.
Sora smiled at Paimon, then said to Ichito:
[“Okay, let me see your card skills!”
"I'm a little tired today, let's do it another day."】
