Chapter 955 Captured by the Great Sage!
Did that scholar really figure out who we were?
Watching the scholars from the Order of the Church depart because of Elhesen's words of agreement, Ying was lost in confusion.
Paimon and Iya were included as well.
“I don’t know either,” Elhesen shook his head.
"You don't know either?" Paimon asked, expressing disbelief.
Al-Hysen nodded: "Yes, but... whatever the reason he finally came up with, he has already successfully convinced himself."
He spread his hands and said, "This is what is called the self-esteem of a scholar. Once someone questions him academically, he immediately puts on an act of pretending to know everything to save face."
[Erhesen doesn't know.]
[A memorable scene—he said he didn't know.]
This is a great meme.
[This has been included in Hai Ge's Quotes 1.0.]
The reasons others give you are never as credible as the reasons you come up with yourself.
[A certain writers' association: We feel offended.]
[Xume has now displayed three qualities of a scholar: scholar's confidence, scholar's self-respect, and scholar's arrogance.]
Al-Hysen lowered his hand and looked around the environment of the academy:
“There are plenty of scholars like this in the Church of England these days. They clearly want to appear wise, but little do they know how foolish they look.”
Hearing this, Paimon understood perfectly: "It seems there's a unique set of techniques for dealing with clever people; we don't even need to make up reasons ourselves..."
Iya offered his opinion: "I think it's because the other side isn't smart enough. If the other side had the intelligence of Elhesen, he wouldn't make up reasons to convince himself."
"Thank you for the compliment." Al-Hysen readily accepted such praise, "but I am simply well aware of my own limitations."
Nasita, who was hiding in the shadows, praised Elhesen: "Your analysis of human nature is very insightful. It's good that you're on our side."
“If you’re on the opposite side of us, then unless we have Caesar on our side, I can’t think of a way to break this deadlock.”
Al-Hysen disagreed with this statement: "That's not necessarily true. Intelligence can compensate for the gap in strength to a certain extent."
"But when the gap in strength becomes too large, no matter how far-reaching the scheme is, it will eventually be broken by brute force."
"The reason I can stand here firmly in my current position is largely because of your existence, which gives me the confidence to confront the false god on the other side."
After saying that, Elhesen continued to lead everyone inside.
Time is of the essence, and they cannot afford to linger here; missing the opportunity would cause serious trouble.
The group entered the Wisdom Palace, the largest library in Teyvat.
Students come and go here, but Elhesen still manages to lead everyone in with a swagger.
According to Elhesen and Nasita, the daily pace of the Church is already fast, not to mention today is "Knowledge Day," and they all have their own things to do.
Especially when Little Lucky Grass King goes missing.
As long as you act naturally, you won't be suspected.
And so, the group passed through the library without any hindrance and arrived at the elevator inside the Order of the Church.
This was an old acquaintance for Ying and her group, since they had taken the same elevator to Caesar's office before.
Al-Hysen rejected the idea of going directly to the office of the royalist sage Hazard via the elevator.
He believed that to ensure the safety of the operation, it would be best to determine Hazard's current location before taking action...
Then Hazard's voice came from behind the group.
When everyone looked around, they discovered that the scholars who had been coming and going earlier had disappeared without a trace, and a group of thirty armed men emerged from all around and surrounded them.
"Tsk..."
Seeing this, Elhesen couldn't help but click his tongue.
Ying's gaze sharpened, focusing on Hazard.
The protagonist's gaze immediately sharpened; thumbs up.
Your appearance saves me the trouble of looking for you.
[Just go and fight him with your sword!]
Hazard stood on the high point of the library, looking down at the crowd, and then his gaze focused on Elheisen:
"You don't actually think we'd still completely trust you after disappearing for so long, do you... Secretary?"
“I was informed of your whereabouts by witnesses, so I came here specifically to greet you.”
Elhesen's previously calm tone became more respectful: "Great Sage, I never expected you to care about me so much. I am truly flattered."
"Ha ha……"
Hazard chuckled: "But more than you... I'm concerned about these three: the Traveler, Paimon, and Iya... right?"
"It is a pity that we only have the opportunity to meet our three distinguished guests today. We have truly failed to provide adequate hospitality."
Just as Ying was about to speak, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Yi Ya out of the corner of her eye. She immediately came up with a plan and took a half step back to stand behind Yi Ya.
Yi Ya understood immediately, stepped forward, and mimicked Jun Bai's calm yet slightly stern expression: "Hospitality? That's unnecessary. I can't accept the hospitality of your Sumeru."
Seeing this, Azar showed an expression that was both expected and somewhat disappointed: "As expected of a divine heir from Liyue, he truly has guts."
"But now that things have come to this, are you still planning to beat around the bush?"
"Could it be that you haven't seen the current situation clearly, and are still planning some reckless resistance?"
Iya chuckled softly, the smile not reaching his eyes: "Believe me, you'd rather go around in circles with me than have a direct argument. This is your only chance to get a good result."
"Ha, a mere brat, so arrogant." Hazard felt that arguing with a child like this would lower his own status. "Fine, there are people coming and going here, it's not a good time to talk business."
"Then please come to my office."
Hazard led the group toward the office.
The group followed closely behind and went into Hazard's office.
Compared to the simple and unadorned decorations of Caesar's office, Hazard's office was significantly more spacious and more luxurious.
Because it was more spacious, there were more guards in this office than in the library outside.
A large number of guards surrounded the four people, leaving them no chance to escape.
"Tell me, Phoenix's offspring, what do you want to talk to me about?" Azar stood in his position, looking down at Iya as before.
Iya stood at the very front of the crowd, arms crossed, and then began to speak:
"You wouldn't dare touch me."
