Chapter 347 Paimon: I’m hallucinating!
After Tinari walked some distance, a dusky bird suddenly flew down and landed on a tree stump beside him.
Tinari took out a quill and wrote a note, then put it into the letter box on the leg of the dusk bird: "Go and take the letter to Harold."
On the other side, Cole and Kong started chatting. After learning that they had been to Mond and knew Amber, Cole's favorability towards Kong increased immediately. He was no longer restrained in speaking to them as he did in front of strangers, and he could even talk to them without batting an eyelid about his experience of being captured by the Fatui for experiments in the past.
Sora and Paimon felt a little heavy after listening to this, so Sora told them some interesting adventure stories. The three of them shared some daily experiences, and laughter gradually spread.
After getting to know each other, Kong began to consciously ask Cole about Xumi's situation.
Kong: "Kelai, is your master familiar with the discipline officer of the Order Institute, Senor?"
"My master..." Kelai touched his head subconsciously and said hesitantly, "You mean Master Tinari?"
Sora: "Ears and tail."
Ke Lai's eyes lit up: "Right, right?! As expected, you noticed it too!"
"Hey, do you have other masters? Oh... I seemed to have heard you say 'Teacher Harold' just now..." Paimon caught another word in Cole's words and muttered softly.
"Well, actually I have other masters..." Ke Lai smiled a little embarrassedly, "They are all very powerful people, we all know each other, and they will come here to teach me when they are free. I learn painting, biology, medicine, language symbols... I learn all of these, but I learn slowly..."
Paimon opened his eyes wide and looked at Cole with admiration in his eyes: "Ah?! You want to learn so many things!"
Kelai laughed: "...Hehe, no...they taught me very basic things, and they explained them in great detail."
"Cole's life is very fulfilling now," Kong said with a smile.
"Yes, I will follow Master Tinari to the rain forest. Master said that more exercise is good for the body, and the forest is a 'silent teacher' like a textbook." Cole spoke quickly, looking a little excited.
But she suddenly seemed to realize something, her face flushed slightly, and she subconsciously touched the back of her head: "Ah... I accidentally talked about so much of my own affairs."
Sora: "That's nothing. We also want to get to know you better."
Paimeng nodded heavily: "That's right, that's what friends should be like!"
Cole showed a reserved, surprised smile, but still brought the topic back: "Master Tinari was also a scholar of the Order Institute, and a disciple of the Sage!
But he and Master Senor met through another scholar, Master Harold... Well... I hadn't returned to Xumi at that time, and I only knew a rough idea of what was going on there, it seemed like it was to complete a project or something..."
Paimon: "So they've known each other for so long. Does Tinari know what Senor is investigating?"
Sora added, "Seno said we can ask Tinari if we want to know these things."
Paimon nodded in agreement.
Cole was still hesitant, but after hearing what Sora said and remembering what Tinari had told him before, he stopped hesitating:
"In fact... we discovered that the Order of the Lords seems to be planning something, and this matter is related to the gods."
"Eh?!" Paimon exclaimed in surprise, "It's related to the gods? Are you referring to the Little Lucky Grass King?!"
"Lord Little Auspicious Grass King must have been dragged in, as well as Teacher Harold, Teacher Kavi, Teacher Elhaisen..." Cole said, clenching his fists.
Kong's expression instantly turned serious. Although he didn't know the people Cole was talking about, he knew that even the gods of Xumi were involved, which meant that he couldn't easily obtain the information he wanted.
However, unlike the previous times, this time the accidents happened very quickly, one after another, as if they were chasing him.
Cole calmed his thoughts and said somewhat frustratedly:
“In fact, it was Mr. Harold who first noticed something was wrong. He found some scholars with abnormal behavior in Aru Village. He guessed from various signs that the Church Council had driven them crazy for some ulterior purpose and exiled them to a remote area.
After returning from the desert, Harold told teachers Senor and Tinari about this.
But his roommates, Mr. Elhaisen and Mr. Kawi, lost contact one after another, and later even he himself had problems...
Originally, although his home was in Xumi City, he would come to Huacheng almost every day, but not long after that incident, we never saw him again...
Master Tinari said that Teacher Harold would occasionally send him letters, so I don’t have to worry about his safety, but I haven’t seen him for nearly half a year...”
"Ah? How weird!" Paimon said with some horror.
null:
【1. "Have you found out that their disappearance is related to the House of the Order?"
2. "Has Sino found out where they are going?"]
"Well... Master Seno said that the Academy of the Order is conducting a secret research, which is very likely related to the gods, so they need to recruit outstanding scholars. In the past year, Master Tinari has also frequently received their invitation letters." Cole said with a lowered eyebrow.
Sora gathered his thoughts and said, "So why did Senor protect Hypatia...?"
"Because Master Senuo went to the desert village, he recognized one of the crazy scholars as the one who had practiced in Huachengguo.
Later, through investigation, he found that they were indeed mostly missing in this rainforest, so Master Senuo began to secretly protect these scholars. He thought that by following these scholars, he could find clues about the mastermind behind the scenes. "Kole said.
Kong chewed on this information, and when he looked up, he saw the potted plant behind Cole twisting its leaves.
Kong's pupils suddenly dilated, and he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"Ah? Traveler, what are you looking at?" Paimon curiously followed Sora's gaze and saw a sweet flower adjust its posture somewhat stiffly, as if to make itself look more upright.
"Ah! That sweet flower is moving! Did we really eat the mushrooms?!" Paimon shouted.
"Oh... no no! That's Mr. Harold's experiment, called 'Pretender', it just looks like a sweet flower."
Ke Lai waved his hands and explained, "Actually, it is the offspring of the cross between the cheating flower and the sweet flower."
"Traveler, what should I do? I must have eaten a mushroom by mistake!" Paimon cried, "But I just took a bite of the sweet wild fruit on the roadside..."
