Chapter 226 Meeting with the Great Sage

As the moon sets and the sun rises, one of the most important days in Xumi - the Day of Consciousness and Treasure - officially arrives.

Ying and Paimon found Elhaisen waiting at the gate of the Church.

After a brief exchange, Elhaisen led the two to meet the great sage Azar.

It turns out that no matter how famous you are, not everyone will know you.

For example now...

A scholar named Vilaf blocked Alhaisen's way.

"Please wait a moment, is this Secretary Elhaysen?"

The sudden accident made Ying and Paimeng stiffen. They turned their heads away at the same time, not wanting the scholar opposite to recognize their true identities.

Vilav looked at them with pity and sighed in his heart, two more introverts.

"Clerk, please do not bring irrelevant people into the Ordinance Court."

Ying and Paimeng froze in their movements of tilting their heads again, and they looked at each other. They didn't expect that this scholar didn't even recognize them.

Paimeng's mouth drooped, and in order not to attract attention, he could only complain in his heart:

After all, we're the travelers who cracked the Flower God's Birthday cycle and saved Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma! How could you not recognize us at all?

Elhaisen heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the term "irrelevant person". This term was enough to show that the Great Sage did not announce that Ying and Paimon were enemies of the Church.

Elhaisen smiled contemptuously.

"Unrelated person? Your baseless reasoning really brings shame to your school."

Just as Vilav was about to retort, he was interrupted by Elhaisen.

"Based on the information you have, isn't it obvious why I'm here, and why they're here, too?"

Vilav watched as Elhaisen's originally contemptuous look gradually turned into pity, a look that had also appeared on him before.

That was the look he would have when he looked at scholars of mediocre talent.

That look, bastard! I'm not one of those mediocre people!

"Wait a minute! Don't tell me the answer! The sages are looking for you, the blond traveler, the unrelated person..."

"...I understand! The sages aren't looking for you at all, but this traveler!"

Elhaisen raised his finger and said "Shush" softly.

"It seems you have a good brain. If nothing else, we'll leave."

Having received the approval of Elhaisen, a clerk with a great reputation in the House of Lords, Vilav excitedly raised his fist.

"Yes, clerk!"

Vilav walked away with a brisk pace, and one could even hear him humming an unknown tune.

Paimon looked around and found that no one paid attention to them, so he spoke quietly,

"So that scholar actually knows us!"

Elhaisen nodded meaninglessly.

"Given your deeds, it's hard for anyone to have no impression of you, especially you, the distinctive white flying object."

The distinctive white flying object...

Paimon clenched his fists, causing her to freeze in anger.

There was no other way. Business was more important. If she wasn't making plans now, she would definitely give Elhaisen an ugly nickname!

Ying, who was standing aside, looked at Paimon thoughtfully. Was it because of Paimon that she couldn't hide her identity?

......

"I'm dying of laughter. Vilav is a master of pure imagination."

"Al Haisen didn't even have time to think about how to explain it, and Vilav just gave him a standard answer."

"Am I the only one who likes Haisen's indiscriminate scolding of people? It makes me feel so good!"

"Identification completed, there is an M upstairs."

......

With this reason, the three of them had a smooth journey to see the great sage. When someone came to ask, they would just say that the great sage wanted to see them.

Everyone will give way obediently. Of course, this does not mean that the crisis awareness of the Ministry of Education is as poor as a fishing net.

It's just that they couldn't imagine that the high-ranking secretary Elhaisen would actually tell such a lie.

The price he paid was that after this plan, Elhaisen lost some credit points among those he had cheated.

Of course, the credit points deducted were from Clerk Alhaisen and had nothing to do with Acting Sage Alhaisen.

If you want to go to the Great Sage's office, you must first go to the elevator in the center of the Palace of Wisdom, and then take the elevator to reach other floors.

In order to avoid the embarrassing situation of seeing Hazard sitting in the office as soon as they went up, the three decided to observe for a while in the Palace of Wisdom.

The Palace of Wisdom is actually a huge library. Although there is infinite knowledge in the void, books are still an indispensable backup and manifestation of wisdom.

Many scholars were here looking through materials, but no one paid any attention to the three people who suddenly walked in.

Therefore, it was natural for the three of them to stay.

Going back a little in time, after Elhaisen had fooled Vilaf, the seemingly mentally retarded scholar went to the office of the Great Sage.

"Great Sage, I have something to report."

Hazard rubbed his aching head.

"Go ahead."

In front of others, Azar, no, the Great Sage always looks so cold.

"El Haisen, he's back, and he brought the blond traveler with him."

That's right, Paimon was ignored again, even though it was because of her that Vilaf recognized Ying as the famous blond traveler.

"I see."

"But, Great Sage..."

"I said, I know."

Vilav smiled awkwardly and quietly left the office.

In the empty office, the great sage lowered his head.

"Alhaisen, let me see what you want to do. Guards, follow me."

The great sage was the first to push open the office door, followed by a sparse group of guards.

He looked down at the elevator and murmured softly, "On this stage called Xumi, I hope you can bring me some surprises."

When the Great Sage arrived at the Palace of Wisdom, Elhaisen and others had not yet arrived, so he had to read a book to kill time while waiting for the distinguished guests to arrive, and by the way, drove away all the real "irrelevant people".

Finally, three eye-catching figures walked into the gate of the Palace of Wisdom. The great sage put the book back on the bookshelf and walked slowly away with the guards.

At this time, Elhaisen was chatting with Ying and Paimon.

"...if we had the opportunity to determine Hazard's current position, the operation would have been much safer."

Need a location? No need to bother.

"Then let me give you a hint. If you want to know where I am, you might as well look behind you."

As the great sage waved his hand, the guards who came with him surrounded the three people.

"You don't think the Order will trust you completely after you've been gone for so long, do you, Clerk?"

Even Paimon could hear the sarcasm in the Great Sage's words.

El Haisen is no exception, but...

"Great Sage, I never thought you would care so much about me. I am truly flattered."
