Chapter 963 The Plan Comes to an End (2)
Paimon suddenly realized, then looked puzzled: "Does this have anything to do with the fact that we can't take direct action?"
“Of course it’s relevant,” Ying nodded.
She continued, "It's just a clash of ideologies, so most of the royalist scholars aren't actually our enemies."
"We don't need to force the other side to become our enemy."
"Only the ringleader of all evil shall be punished; the law does not punish the majority."
"Although from the perspective of Nasita and the reformers, the royalists are all enemies, they are all Sumerians and scholars of the Order of the Church."
"Similarly, they are also Naxida's people."
Paimon now fully understood what Luminous meant: "Oh~ Although we can't lay a hand on those people, otherwise Narcida will be heartbroken!"
Ying nodded: "Moreover, the future Sumeru will also need the help of these scholars. The new order cannot be implemented without someone to carry it out."
"Alhesen's plan, while more troublesome than directly overthrowing Hazar's rule, has the advantage of ensuring that the Council will still have sufficient manpower after the reforms are implemented."
“Nassida’s power will increase, and she may even be able to completely control the power of the Faith Council. She will have all the faith that a grass goddess should have.”
"This is why we chose to carry out Elhesen's plan even though our overall strength is superior to that of the royalists."
Ying made a fist gesture: "To obtain the greatest benefit at the lowest cost."
“I see…” Paimon nodded repeatedly. “Then let’s just wait quietly for the plan to be implemented.”
After a while, the footsteps coming from the corridor outside gradually decreased, and Paimon speculated: "The sound of scholars' footsteps coming and going is decreasing, it seems that the preparations for the Day of Knowledge of the Treasury are about to be completed."
Ying agreed with this statement: "The work of inputting knowledge about canning should be ready by now."
Paimon nodded: "Well, next... it's Miss Nel's turn to make her appearance!"
……
Meanwhile, outside the church.
Nilu is making final preparations.
The people at the Zubair Theater tried to persuade Nel to not take the risk, saying it wasn't worth it.
However, at Nilu's insistence, everyone at the Zuber Theater chose to respect Nilu's opinion and was willing to lend a helping hand.
At the same time, everyone also expressed their opinions.
If Nel is arrested by the Order of the Church because of this, they will definitely do everything in their power to rescue her.
This touched Nel.
With the help of the people in the Grand Bazaar, Nil successfully arrived at the entrance of the Church of Christ.
The area has been cleared.
Furthermore, the people from the Grand Bazaar are also helping with the only way to the Church, so for the next period of time, no one will be able to disturb Nel's "performance".
Looking at the building located at the highest point of Mount Sumeru.
Nilu took a deep breath and slowly raised her hands, performing her usual preparatory movement before dancing.
The Eye of God flickered, and the element of water gathered around him.
So this is what we asked Nel to do?
[Nel actually agreed to something like that?]
[↑Nel: I can dance and run the Order Academy at the same time, how can something be so awesome?]
[Holding a concert in front of Arasaka Tower (just kidding)]
[This is a war dance! This is the clarion call to launch a full-scale counterattack and duel! Now is the best time to attack!]
[Nel: The Order of the Instruction doesn't allow dancing, right? Then I'll just dance right outside the Instructor's Academy!]
As the sun bathed the magnificent dome of the Cathedral in golden light, Nel, the jewel of the Zubair Theatre, danced gracefully amidst the breathless cheers of the crowd.
Her slender waist swayed like a willow branch, and her jade arms stretched out like a white crane spreading its wings. Every turn seemed to outline a dazzling star trail in the void.
Although all around was completely silent, one could hear the strings of an ancient harp vibrating with the rise and fall of her toes.
The scholars, carrying heavy books and hurrying along, all stopped in their tracks.
Some people's scrolls slipped from their hands and fell to the ground without them noticing;
Someone adjusted their glasses, a strange light shining in their eyes;
An elderly scholar even pushed open the stained glass window, letting the dappled light and shadow fall on his trembling white beard.
Some were amazed by this art form they had never studied before; some pointed out that it was now strictly prohibited; and some returned to the courtyard and spread the news.
The guards' iron boots rubbed nervously on the stone steps, but they ultimately did not step forward to interrupt this astonishing performance.
Niru's sari fluttered like a butterfly in the hot wind, and her forehead ornament refracted the sunlight into a rainbow.
She measured the boundaries of the academic sanctuary with her toes, using body language to express truths that scholars bound by dogma could never articulate in their papers—
True art never needs academic certification, just as the Sumeru Rose can bloom on a cliff without the gardener's permission.
Those gradually moist eyes, those fingers unconsciously tapping lightly on the stone slabs in rhythm, all silently proclaim:
When cracks appear in the high walls built by reason and dogma, the light of beauty will naturally penetrate all barriers.
【Wife, you're so beautiful!】
So, does Nel's Eye of God come with built-in spotlight effects and music playback?
The Water-based Eye of God is really suitable for special effects.
The dialectical relationship between art and reason. This is an age-old question, tantamount to a direct and forceful debate.
While all the scholars were focused on this artistic performance, inside the Instruction House...
An unmoved scholar asked Hazard, "Great Sage, what's the situation outside...?"
"Hmph, how boring..."
Hazard shared his insights, then issued the order: "Issue the newly entered 'Art Prohibition' to the guards."
"They'll know how to handle it."
Meanwhile, the guards at the door had already begun to whisper among themselves:
"Shouldn't we...stop it..."
"Let's look at it a little longer..."
You can't see this kind of performance normally when you're in the church.
At that moment, the void pendants worn by them began receiving commands—commands directly from the Great Sage—that surfaced in Wei Bin's mind.
"The Little Auspicious Grass King has escaped from the Pure Goodness Palace. Immediately head into the city to search for him."
—This passage appeared in the "Knowledge" section, which was originally supposed to contain information about art bans.
And then I came across this passage.
Without hesitation, all the guards gripped their weapons and rushed towards the Temple of the Sacred Heart in Sumeru City.
As the guards who were on their way to "arrest" the Little Lucky Grass King swept past Nel, Nel also ended her "special performance" at the opportune moment.
She tiptoed, turned three times in succession, and performed the closing dance steps, then bowed gracefully to the Church of Jesus—the performance was over.
Thunderous applause erupted from the entrance of the Church House.
This is the audience's appreciation for the dancers, and also the scholar's appreciation for true art.
The song ended.
