Chapter 961: Everything is Under Control
Chapter 961: Everything is Under Control
After Hazard ordered Elhesen to be exiled to Aru Village and invited Ying and her party to the inn, a scholar approached Hazard with a respectful expression:
“Great Sage, preparations for the Day of Knowledge Storage are complete.”
“We can input the knowledge about canning.” The scholar bowed to Hazard.
Hazard turned and left, leaving only the words: "Understood, get ready to begin."
Within the canned knowledge prepared for input into the void, an ordinary canned knowledge lay quietly, looking exactly the same as all the other canned knowledge placed aside.
At the same time, Elhesen, who was being escorted out of the Order of the Church by two guards, revealed a meaningful smile, and the Void Terminal on his ear quietly changed from red back to normal.
[Exiled to Aru Village, isn't that like going home for Hai Ge? Hazar's intelligence is terrible.]
[Erhesen: I'm home, family!]
[Wait a minute, look at Hai Ge's expression... and the void terminal next to him suddenly changed color... was all of that just an act?]
Holy crap, is this part of the plan?
[I knew it! I felt something was off from the beginning; Hai-ge doesn't seem like the type to use a divine jar to store knowledge!]
[Let's congratulate Mr. Al Heysen, the winner of this year's Sumeru Oscar for Best Actor, as he comes to the stage to accept his award!]
At this moment, Nel, who was waiting outside the Church, watched as Elhesen was escorted out by the guards, and nodded slightly to indicate that she understood.
Meanwhile, undercurrents were swirling within the Academy.
After watching Elhesen and the guards leave the Church, the scholars exchanged a glance and then turned and walked into the Church.
Inside the church guesthouse.
From his luxurious hotel room, Paimon called out to the departing scholars outside, "Don't lock us up! Let us out!"
"Ugh-"
On the other side, Iya, who was lying on the big bed, quietly opened her eyes.
Seeing this, Ying said, "Get up. Whether they are guards or scholars, they must have already left. We are not currently under the surveillance of the Order of the Church."
Iya immediately opened her eyes, did a somersault to throw off the covers, and stood on the bed: "Phew—pretending to be completely still was so tiring!"
“Actually, even when someone is fast asleep, their body isn’t completely still. What you did just now was actually a weakness,” Nasita’s voice echoed from the void, as was customary.
She then leaped down to the edge of the bed and sat on a swing made of grass elements.
She looked at Paimon with a gentle smile: "But Paimon did put in a lot of effort in his performance."
Paimon walked into the room and smiled sheepishly, "Really? Hehehe... I thought I didn't act well."
"How was it? Wasn't my performance amazing?"
Ying boasted, "She's a little worse than me."
[Crying and whining in person, then grinning and joking behind someone's back.]
[Paimon's acting has improved so much?]
[I only just realized that the Traveler and Paimon were also on the tenth floor: ? Not my buddy...]
[A flurry of activity, both lively and chaotic.]
"Hehe, so far the operation has been going smoothly. I suppose the people from the Order of the Fathers have lowered their guard against us by now? Elhesen has finished what he needed to do, hasn't he?"
Nasita nodded: "I was watching from the side. That jar of knowledge has already been put into the jar of knowledge that will be recorded into the void later by Elhesen."
Ying smiled and said, "The plan was a great success!"
“Even the great sage Hazard was successfully misled; Elhesen’s plan is truly remarkable,” Paimon exclaimed.
Yiya sat on the bed with her legs crossed: "It's alright. With his IQ, misleading him is pretty easy, I think."
"He actually believed that his sister would be trapped by some nonsensical device, without realizing that it was just a clone."
Nasita shook her head: "That's not some nonsensical device. It is indeed a device that the Great Tree King uses for meditation and to eliminate external interference."
"Will you be trapped, sister?"
“No.” Nasita smiled and pointed to her crimson eye. “The device that the Great Tree King made himself to isolate her from external interference will naturally resist her power.”
"But I am not only the power of the Great Tree King."
Iya sighed, "Sometimes I find it quite unbelievable that someone like Hazard could hold the same position as Uncle Caesar."
Nasida shrugged: "After all, the royalists are a successor to the monarchy."
"As long as it is passed down from generation to generation, there will always be people like Hazard who have the ability but lack vision."
"But Caesar was always alone in that position, and that's the difference."
Ying and her group, along with Nasida, voluntarily handed themselves over to Azhar and were imprisoned.
This was the operational objective that was set when the battle plan was formulated in Aru Village.
Both Ying and Nasita are the people Hazard is most wary of, and the biggest enemies threatening their plans. Even an incompetent person like Hazard would realize this.
As long as Ying and Naxida are imprisoned, the royalists will feel that everything is under control.
If the royalists lower their guard, the success rate of the others' actions will greatly increase.
Paimon felt this was not worthwhile.
It's definitely not worth it to use a psychological imbalance as a reason to get Ying and Nasita, two of the main combat forces, imprisoned.
Then Al-Hysen said that he didn't intend to actually lock the two up; he would just use some tricks to create the illusion.
Therefore, Nasita prepared a fake body in advance so that it could be delivered to Hazard at the crucial moment.
At this point, Iya touched the spot where Elhesen had injected her with the syringe: "But I never expected that the scene I originally prepared for Sister Ying would actually be used on me."
"Luckily I reacted quickly, otherwise this scene would have been difficult to act."
Nasida smiled and said, "You've acted so strongly that if Elhesen hadn't used you as a bargaining chip and had chosen to let you go, they might not have dared to imprison you."
Ying nodded in deep agreement: "I reckon Hazard has been thinking of me or Nasida as his enemies until you spoke up, and then he realized that you are his biggest enemy."
No matter how cunning and treacherous you are, Hazard, you still have to drink my brother Hai's foot bath water.
Has anyone considered the possibility that Hazard might just take us out on his own?
[↑For specific reasons, please refer to what Iya said earlier: attacking us might not necessarily cause any problems, but attacking Iya will definitely send Liyue into full-scale war mode.]
[Iya is already tied to us, so we can't easily deal with him. We can only offer him good food and drink.]
