Chapter 336: Doctor: Humans have limits
Such a smart person will not refuse the conditions I offer, even if he does not want to get involved.
Because his parents died early and he had no other close relatives, the people in the academy had a weak impression of him. No one cared when he disappeared for a month or two.
Even if he refused to cooperate and was imprisoned on some random charge, no one would be willing to redress his innocence under the pressure of the great sage.
Elhaisen is a rare talent. With his intelligence, it is impossible that he did not think of these things. Moreover, he has contacts with Setale and has intentionally or unintentionally revealed his willingness to surrender.
Azar added in his mind.
He did not share these words with his partners because he did not actually trust the doctor and was merely using him, not treating him as a close friend with whom he could confide.
"So the great sage is approaching it from this angle. My thoughts are still too shallow." The doctor said in a self-deprecating manner.
"Wild horses are good at running, eagles dominate the sky, and everyone has their own areas of expertise. There is no need to be modest." Hazard restrained his aggressive momentum, but there was still dissatisfaction in his tone.
"That's a very philosophical statement. I appreciate it." The doctor nodded, but sneered in his heart.
As expected, human potential has its limits, and it may even regress before reaching its peak. How sad.
Even a great sage who represents the wisdom of Mount Sumeru will inevitably be eroded by power. As he grows older and his "mechanical parts" age, he will become even more ignorant and arrogant.
But as long as all the "parts" are replaced, with the help of the power of God's Heart and scientific research, we can promote the evolution of mankind to a higher dimension and promote the transformation from man to God.
"It's about time. These young people have probably calmed down from their panic. It's time to talk to them about our future."
Azar raised his head slightly, staring at the image in the void, paying attention to the reactions of the people in the institute, and asked in a leisurely tone,
"This is related to the progress of our research. The people I have selected are all elites from various colleges. With them, we can easily convince more scholars. Are you interested in watching, Second Chair?"
"It would be my pleasure," the Doctor replied with a chuckle.
The two walked out of the sage's office slowly, avoided the crowd through the secret passage in the corridor, and turned into the underground passage that Setale and Elhaisen had walked through.
In the empty, damp and cold underground space, the slow and steady sound of footsteps echoed, revealing the calmness and indifference of the travelers.
The underground road was long, and it took the two men more than ten minutes to stand in front of the closed door.
Hazard rolled up his right sleeve, raised his hand, pressed the switch on the wall, and entered the password.

The empty screen in front of Azar was flashing red and a sharp warning sounded in his ears. This was the surveillance system alerting the highest administrator of the House of Decrees.
He reached to his ear and manually turned off the alarm.
The doctor crossed his arms and watched Azar deal with these trivial matters calmly: "Why make it so troublesome."
"This is to prevent outsiders from disguising themselves. Our work must be kept completely confidential. Since the Second Master has chosen to cooperate with us, please be patient for the time being.
When our plan is successfully completed and the World Tree is repaired, you will be a great contributor to Xumi. I will immediately erase your criminal record and recommend you to become a sage of the Sahavalo Academy."
Azar painted a big rosy picture for the doctor, but still did not give in on the issue of fully opening up permissions. He was always on guard against the second Fatui beside him and the Fatui inside to work together and tamper with the research.
He was very afraid of the doctor's fighting ability, but he had no choice but to ask the other party to add a self-destruction program to the artificial god's body and open up authority to him. He could only use money and status to stabilize the other party for the time being.
"I am looking forward to that moment." The doctor smiled and left a meaningful remark.
Looking forward to the moment when the "blasphemy" experiment succeeds, rather than the position of sage.
Azar nodded and calmly activated the circular device on the door. As the device turned, the door made a "creaking" sound and the two doors slowly moved to the left and right.
The two of them waited slowly until the door was half opened before stepping inside.
Instantly, everyone in the room focused their attention on them. The researchers and Fatui soldiers just glanced at them and continued with their work.
The newly arrived sage assistants and the first batch of elites of the House of Decrees carefully selected by Azar could not take their eyes off him for a long time.
Except for those who knew the truth, everyone was curious and afraid of the great sage's secret research and the masked blue-haired scholar beside him. Some people couldn't help swallowing their saliva and were worried about their own prospects and future.
The sage's assistant, who half-coerced and half-bribed them to come here, did not reveal too much in advance. They only knew that they were about to serve the great sage and contribute their little bit of strength to the future of the entire Xumi. However, this overly vague statement could not dispel their doubts. They could not help but think about whether it was good or bad for them to stand here today.
Behind the Great Sage and the mysterious blue-haired man wearing a mask, the door slowly closed. Azar took in everyone's expressions: panic, curiosity, anticipation... just as exciting as he expected.
He slowly walked towards the scholars, followed closely by the doctor. The approach of the two men invisibly gave the selected scholars a lot of oppression. Even the wise assistants who knew the inside story were shocked by their aura and silently lowered their brows.
After Azar stood still, he looked around, his eyes swept over Siraj, and finally fell on Setare and Alhaisen beside her. Noticing the latter's concentration, he coughed lightly with satisfaction and said:
"Dear elites of the Order, I have invited you here today to tell you a secret. In the past, in order to avoid causing panic, our sages from generation to generation have chosen to hide this secret, bear the anxiety and fear alone, and look for possible solutions -"
Hazard paused deliberately when he said this.
Everyone present was attracted by his words, and the curiosity and uneasiness in their eyes became more and more obvious. At this moment, they still put their own safety behind them, and they all urgently wanted to know what the so-called shocking secret was and why several generations of sages chose to conceal it.
Azar closed his eyes, showed a compassionate look, and said in a sad tone: "We are facing a huge crisis!"
