Chapter 368 Azar: Where is my assistant?
The two guards standing outside the Palace of Wisdom spoke in a rather casual tone. Although they were somewhat surprised as to why the Great Sage's assistant would appear here, they did not become wary.
"Yes, it's the order of the great sage. I want to go in." Setale said with a cold face.
Although she looked normal on the outside, she was so nervous that she broke out in a layer of sweat on her back.
Hearing this, the two guards at the door looked at each other and finally put away their nonchalant attitude.
One of the guards said, "But Miss Setare, the Great Sage has ordered that no one except him is allowed to enter."
"I am standing here because of the order of the Great Sage," said Setale.
Another guard said in embarrassment: "We don't mean to distrust you. After all, we all know that you are the person the Great Sage trusts the most. It's just that the Great Sage has repeatedly emphasized-"
Setale interrupted him coldly and took out a document from her sleeve:
"This is an emergency. I must go in immediately! This is the handwritten order from the Great Sage. It has his personal seal on it. Do you still want to stop me?"
The short-haired guard hesitated for a second before taking the document from Setale, unfolding it and looking at it carefully with his companion.
Setale crossed her arms, a hint of impatience in her cold eyes. She said sternly, "Don't waste time! Can you bear the responsibility for ruining the great sage's plan?!"
The two guards were startled and immediately stopped trying to verify the authenticity and find the great sage himself for confirmation. The short-haired guard rolled up the document in his hand again and handed it to Setale respectfully, while making way for him.
"Please come in!"
Another person said considerately, "Since it is the order of the Great Sage, the formalities can be completed in a few days."
Setale secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded slightly and walked into the door leisurely.
The door behind her slowly closed. Setale looked around subconsciously and found that the place was unusually empty, without any furniture or decorations.
...The little auspicious grass king stayed here for five hundred years, Setale thought.
Then, she trotted forward along the only road. The rapid "clacking" sound of her footsteps showed that she was not at peace. When she reached the end of the road, she looked up and saw green spider-like brackets winding around the wall.
In the center of it is a translucent green light ball, which looks like a huge cocoon, with a vague human figure visible inside.
Little Lucky Grass King?!
Setale was deeply shocked by the scene before her, but after calming down, she immediately fumbled around nearby, looking for the key to shut down the mechanism. She knew that her time was limited, and she could not guarantee that the guards outside would not suddenly break in to confirm the situation.
Time passed minute by minute, and the sweat on Setale's forehead dripped to the ground. The long period of high tension made her tremble slightly uncontrollably.
...Found it! Finally found it! In time!!
Setale shouted in her heart while pressing the button on the console.
The cocoon suspended in the air seemed to be corroded by a corrosive solution, melting away little by little from top to bottom, and the body of the silver-haired girl gradually appeared in front of Setale.
She floated down from the sky and slowly opened her eyes. Her clear green eyes looked at the dark-skinned woman in front of her:
"Thank you for taking the risk to save a god like me. I realized it too late and missed a lot of time. It's not too late to make up for it now."
The girl's voice was gentle, yet firm. "This time, I will try my best to fight against the Order Institute and let you see the Sumeru you want."
"...Master Little Auspicious Grass King." Setale's lips moved, her voice trembling. Even if it was just a verbal promise from God, it made her feel that everything she did was meaningful.
Nashida: "You go back first. It's not safe to stay here. Hide in a safe place before the Council of Masters becomes suspicious.
I still need some time to take back the control of the void from the Order, so as to remove the eye of the Order, and Harold and his team's plan also depends on this."
"Okay, I'll follow your command." Setale looked at Nashida with deep awe and expectation in her eyes, but as soon as she turned around, the mask of indifference was put on her face again.
Setale walked out of the Palace of Wisdom. The guards at the door did not notice anything unusual. The one with short hair even asked curiously:
"Ms. Setale, how is it going?"
"It went very smoothly. The Great Sage should be relieved now."
As she said this, Setale's mouth curled up, and she seemed to be really happy about it.
"Really? That's good!" said the guard in a very happy mood.
Setale nodded gently: "I have other things to do, so I won't bother you now."
"Go and do your work."
"The job of a sage's assistant is really not easy."
Setale chatted with the two guards for a while, then left the Palace of Wisdom and walked straight out of the Ordinance Courtyard.
...
"Where did Setare go?!"
Azar and Alhaisen discussed the next plan for a long time, until he thought of the need for someone to deal with the pile of paperwork, and then he remembered that he had asked his assistant to make a cup of tea.
But two hours later, Setale was still nowhere to be seen, which made Hazard, who was used to the opponent's high efficiency and high obedience, very dissatisfied.
"Maybe something delayed him on the way." Elhaisen said casually.
"...Hmm." Azar snorted. Setare had done such a good job in the past that he felt that occasional small mistakes were harmless.
But several hours of discussion made him feel dry and thirsty. Hazard looked at Elhaisen who had already picked up a book. This man was completely unyielding.
Hazard: ...
Azar waved to the guard at the door with a headache: "Go and get me a cup of tea."
"...Me? Are you calling me?" The guard who was called looked confused, but when he met the great sage's displeased gaze, he knew he had not heard wrong, so he immediately picked up the water cup and ran out quickly.
