Chapter 229 Prologue
......
"I can't hold it in any longer. Where's this old Deng laughing hammer?"
"Great Sage: I've captured all your teammates! Ying: You're right, they were captured, but you're the one who's going to die."
"At this moment, Xines and Seno are preparing to escape the prison. It is estimated that in five minutes, they will have this old man on his knees and singing Conquer."
"Can I order a song? I want to hear the Great Sage sing 'Itch'!"
"? You're an M too, right? Don't you need to wash your ears after hearing this?"
......
Paimon suppressed his laughter. After all, the Great Sage's clever reasoning had guessed nothing right except their ultimate goal of "saving the Grass God."
Especially when he said that Hines and Seno were caught by him.
It's so funny, can you still catch them?
Elhaisen couldn't listen any longer, not because the great sage's guess was too outrageous, but because he was worried that Ying and Paimon would laugh out loud after listening for a while.
Elhaisen glanced at Ying calmly, and he breathed a sigh of relief at her slightly trembling body. Fortunately, she held it back, so Elhaisen looked at the Great Sage.
"It seems that no matter what I say now, you will regard me as a traitor, right? Anyway, even if I am wrongly accused, it won't cause much loss to you."
In the eyes of the Great Sage, Elhaisen's self-abandonment was just a futile struggle. He looked at the three people in front of him and thought to himself, it would be a pity if your plan was so superficial.
"No, no, no. Losing Secretary Elhaisen is a great loss to Xumi, but it is indeed not worth mentioning compared to our great cause of creating gods."
The great sage no longer had the initial respect in his eyes. In his opinion, Elhaisen's plan had been seen through by him, so there was naturally no way to save the Grass God.
As expected, Elhaisen's subsequent actions further strengthened his belief.
Elhaisen suddenly became excited.
"You said I betrayed the House of Lords? But you, Azar! You betrayed all of Xumi and the gods!"
The Great Sage chuckled. He had nothing to say about Elhaisen's accusation of betraying the gods, but when it came to betraying Xumi, he, the Great Sage Azar, had a clear conscience.
However, the great sage does not care about other people's opinions.
"Hmph, have you given up struggling? Guards, capture them!"
Following the order from the Great Sage, the surrounding guards surrounded the three people. Although they were not the most elite group, this was the House of the Order, the place where gods were created.
The new god was currently sleeping underground, so they were not afraid even when facing the traveler or the secretary Alhaisen.
Seeing this, Elhaisen raised the corners of his mouth slightly. The real plan had just begun.
Elhaisen recalled the mercenary he had seen in Port Ormos who went berserk after coming into contact with the canned knowledge of the gods, and tried his best to imitate him.
At this time, the void terminal he had improved in the desert came in handy.
Anyone who touches the canned knowledge of the gods and becomes contaminated will have their void terminals turn red.
In Elhaisen's opinion, this was most likely an alarm device developed by the Ministry of Education. With his wisdom and skills, he changed the passive activation function to manual without much effort.
At this moment, he decisively turned on the special effects. The void terminal beside his ear revealed a terrifying red light, and his eyes became bloodthirsty, just like a madman.
"Azar!"
Elhaisen shouted the name of the great sage and threw the canned knowledge of God on the ground.
The great sage naturally noticed his abnormality, and after taking another look at the canned knowledge of the gods on the ground, he immediately understood what had happened.
Or rather, he understood what Elhaisen wanted him to understand.
Elhaisen pounced and punched the Great Sage directly. This scene was beyond the Great Sage's expectations.
He really didn't know that a clerk could be so good at fighting. Elhaisen's movements were so fast that even the guards around him didn't have time to make a move.
The great sage speculated that this might be the power increase brought by the canned knowledge of the gods.
However, because of the canned knowledge of the gods, Elhaisen lost his mind while gaining power, causing the attack to go off target a bit.
Not only did it fail to hit the great sage, but it hit the table behind him instead.
At least, that's what the great sage thought.
The great sage pretended to be calm and brushed off the non-existent dust on his clothes. In fact, he was adjusting his breathing. As the supreme leader of Xumi, he would not allow himself to show his ugliness in front of outsiders.
"Hmph, he's completely crazy. Hand him over to the disciplinary officer and exile him to Aru Village..."
In a corner where the Great Sage had not noticed, Elhaisen quietly replaced the canned knowledge about Ying and Paimon that he had just given to the Great Sage with another canned knowledge that he had prepared long ago.
At this time, the great sage, who had just experienced an exciting scene, naturally had no mood to check again the canned knowledge he had just read.
"...As for these two travelers..."
For a moment, the great sage didn't know how to deal with these two people. With the connections of these two travelers, they had acquaintances in Liyue, Mondstadt and even Inazuma, and these acquaintances were all in high positions.
Before the Great Sage could decide what to do with Ying and Paimon, a scholar came and respectfully reported to the Great Sage that preparations for the Day of Knowledge and Destiny were ready.
A wise man can distinguish between what is important and what is not.
"...Take them to the detention room first and deal with them later."
Well, maybe he didn't make the distinction so clearly.
Nilu, who had been waiting in front of the gate of the Church, was pacing in place. She had no idea what was happening inside the Church. She could only pray that Elhaisen and Ying could complete the mission smoothly and safely.
Suddenly, the familiar figure appeared at the open door of the Ordinance House, and a faint red light flickered beside his ears.
There were two guards holding him on either side, obviously controlling his movements.
Nilu looked at the reassured smile on Elhaisen's face as he passed by her, and immediately understood that everything was going well with the plan!
"Then it's my turn to perform, Nilu. Isn't this the opportunity you've been dreaming of?"
At this time, Ying and Paimeng had already arrived at the confinement room, which was their planned destination.
That's right, from the beginning they had no intention of going to see Nashida directly, but to wake up Nashida, whose consciousness was sealed, in the confinement room in advance to pave the way for the subsequent rescue operation.
Now all plans are going smoothly, except for the temporarily absent piece of the puzzle - the imprisoned Seno, Hines and the Gilded Brigade.
This prison is the strongest prison in Xumi, and its defense force has now been increased to its peak by the great sage.
But it's not all bad news. At least this prison is not far from the Ordinance House. As long as the plan goes smoothly, the group in the prison will definitely be able to learn some information.
For example, now...
