Chapter 331 Traveler: People can't...
"Why--!"
The old man sighed again and said with great sorrow: "After losing the Eye of God, Guiwen always said these strange words...
Tell me, if someone is mentally normal, why would they choose to be a dog instead of being a good person?!"
Guiwen looked numb, as if the self-degrading person the old man was talking about was not him.
The old man looked disappointed and said, "Don't even think about borrowing money from me. I won't lend you a penny until you get yourself together! Get up now! Get out of the door!"
After hearing that the old man was unwilling to lend money, Guiwen ignored the following words. He turned to look at the other two people in the room, and hope flashed in his eyes again:
"Can you lend me 64800 Mora? I don't care what the interest is. I can write an IOU and I will pay it back within a year."
"Why do you have to borrow Mora? You stay at home all day long, so you don't need so much money." Paimon asked in confusion.
The old man was furious: "You still want to buy milk tea! The milk tea shop is launching some kind of Crazy Tuesday event, where a cup of milk tea costs 648 Mora, plus an extra card, so this kid asks if he can lend him 648 Mora whenever he sees someone!
Every day you talk about the Battle of the Seven Kings and special cards. Humph, do you really think pie will fall from the sky? Don’t you even check if you have the luck? Do you think you can have enough food by fighting the Battle of the Seven Kings and drawing cards from morning to night? ! "
Sora narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms, "A cup of milk tea costs 648 Mora, and you're asking me to borrow 64800?"
"Ah, he's actually thinking about buying a hundred cups! He's starving to death!" Paimon stomped his feet and yelled.
"How can there be such a person! I am embarrassed to ask the traveler to buy me so much milk tea, it really pissed me off!"
Facing the accusations of the crowd, Takafumi didn't care at all. He sincerely said to Sora: "Please lend it to me. If I can draw a special card, I can return the money to you immediately."
"You? Pay me back? If you really draw a special card, you will just look for someone to exchange it for Fu Linghua's card!"
The old man said coldly, grabbing Guiwen's hair and forcibly dragging him off the bed, "Get up! Get outside!"
Amidst a burst of shouting and cursing, the house returned to silence.
Paimon looked at Sora and whispered, "They left. I never thought that the 'Scarlet Sakura Rice Ball Sage' would become like this... It seems that losing the Eye of God has a great impact on people..."
Sora nodded, his expression firm, as if he had made some kind of decision: "Let's go back, Paimon, I understand Princess Egret's intention in asking us to come here."
Before leaving, the traveler drew his sword and broke up the pile of milk tea cups, then bent down to pick up the glowing object on the ground.

Xumi City, inside the research center of the city
After the greetings, Harold asked Tinari about Nafis: "Has Lord Nafis written to you recently?"
Hearing this topic, Kavi, who was loosening the soil for the flowers and plants, couldn't help but prick up his ears.
Tinari looked heavy-hearted: "I have recently received many letters from teachers asking me to return to Xumi City to participate in an important research project.
But there are no marks left by the teacher on these letters. I think the teacher has been secretly controlled by someone - Harold, what happened in Xumi City? Have you figured out what the great sage is planning?"
Harold shook his head helplessly: "We don't know much more than you do.
What is known now is that the Great Sage's sudden high-profile actions are related to the Fatui and the activities of the rumored "traveler".
This is what Senior Elhaisen heard. The Church of the Lords is paying close attention to the two. The Great Sage has held several internal meetings and even activated the Void to simulate the behavior of the 'Traveler'.
It's just that they don't have detailed information about the travelers, so the simulation results of the void are not very credible and can only be used as a reference."
As he said this, Harold couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the plot has indeed changed a lot because of the butterfly effect I brought about. Elhaisen originally couldn't get this information.
According to the original trajectory in the game, El Haisen was a loner, and he bullied all his colleagues invisibly.
Therefore, although he holds an important position and has outstanding talents, the suspicious Hazard cannot find a breakthrough point and does not want to hastily develop him into a member of a small group.
Instead, he carefully chose to exclude him from all plans, and even expelled him from Xumi City, hoping to use the canned knowledge of the gods to drive him crazy and completely eradicate the hidden danger.
But in the current situation, before becoming a secretary, Elhaisen attended the same academy as Setare, who was (thought to be) a close confidant of Azar.
As soon as he took office as secretary, Azar allowed Setale to contact him, and Alhaisen did not show any annoyance towards Setale and Azar's advances behind her, which was in sharp contrast to his attitude towards other officials of the House of the Decrees.
I have been in contact with Elhaisen since he took office, Setare's mediation, and Elhaisen's timely feedback.
Coupled with the confidence that this situation was entirely facilitated by his unique vision and careful arrangements, Hazard was very sure that El Haisen was in the same boat as him and naturally gave him a lot of trust.
It's just that it hasn't developed to the point where all the plans are revealed. Well... it's still too early. Azar should have only explained all the causes to the Six Sages and Setare. People like Elhaisen are likely to be the next batch.
Haroldt thought about it a lot, but he picked out the parts that he could tell Tinari at the moment. Finally, he asked, "Did those letters mention what the so-called 'important research' is?"
Tinari shook his head. "No, they just kept persuading me to go back to the Faithful Court. That's why I feel uneasy. The research seems to be shady, so they can't reveal even the slightest clue."
He paused, holding his chin with one hand, thinking: "Although I don't want to get involved in the conspiracy of the Order, it seems that I can't stay out of it. Maybe I should accept their invitation..."
"It doesn't matter. We have already discussed it. I will be the one to accept their invitation!" Kavi, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said.
"Kavi, you also received an invitation?" Tinari was a little surprised.
"Not yet, but as soon as the news of our return to the city reaches the Court of Eminence, someone will come to invite me immediately." Kavi said confidently.
Harold: "You have been staying in Huacheng Castle, so you may not know that Xumi City is actively recruiting scholars, especially scholars from the Shenglun School and Miaolun School. Most of the outstanding graduates from previous years have received invitations."
"So that's how it is." Tinari thought and said, "The core is the scholars of the Shenglun School and the Miaolun School...
In other words, the research is most likely related to biology, medicine, and mechanics... and it matches the blueprint you brought out earlier. The Great Sage really intends to work with the two Fatui with the whole country's strength."
Speaking of this, Tinari's expression turned a little ugly.
Harold joked at the right time: "So let's give this role to Senior Kawi. Senior Kawi is still a very good 'hostage' for Azar. As long as he stays in the institute, Azar will trust us more."
"My role is obviously not just a hostage!" Kavi shouted dissatisfiedly.
"Of course, the remaining drawings still depend on your professionalism," Harold agreed with a smile.
