Chapter 98 Elhesen Appears at the Restaurant
After picking up Paimon, since it was noon, everyone suggested that they go have lunch first.
"Hiccup... Uh..."
Paimon covered his face awkwardly upon hearing the word "lunch."
"I've already eaten on the ship."
"Although you've eaten, we've been waiting for you all morning without having a drop of water!"
After saying that, Ying grabbed Paimon's hand and headed straight for the open-air restaurant.
At that very moment, a pair of eyes were closely watching them from a secluded corner of the restaurant.
The dinner table.
"Ahem, now that Paimon is here, we can get started. Before we execute the plan, I'll reiterate it once again, Paimon, so listen carefully."
As Xunfeng spoke, he turned his gaze to the drowsy Paimon.
Upon hearing someone call his name, Paimon quickly shook his head and flew up.
"Okay, okay."
"First, we need to find a way to break the Void's control over the people. This is the biggest bargaining chip in the hands of the Church and the Fools."
"Secondly, we need to stop the Council of the Church's 'God-Making Plan.' If we fail to stop it, I will personally take action to crush the new god."
"Third, remove the Great Sage Azar from power and restore the Church to its original state."
Fourth, rescue the World Tree, which is in an abnormal state.
After speaking, Xun Feng frowned and looked at Paimon again with a serious expression.
"Paimon... why are you asleep again?!"
"Um... Ah?! Sorry, I ate too much on the ship and now I feel really sleepy... Please continue, I've been listening."
After saying that, Paimon raised his little hand and used his fingers to open his eyelids as much as possible.
Seeing her reaction, Xunfeng smiled in exasperation.
"I've already said everything, what else do you want me to say..."
Just as Paimon lowered his head in embarrassment, the mysterious man in the corner of the restaurant approached step by step and stopped at the table where the four of them were eating.
"You... want to oust Hazard?"
After saying that, the mysterious man placed his hand on the table expressionlessly.
Looking at the uninvited strangers, the four exchanged puzzled glances.
Who is this person?
Sensing the silent and oppressive atmosphere, the mysterious man slowly straightened up and then took out a business card from his pocket.
"Excuse me, I should have identified myself before asking you questions. I am Elhesen, the scribe of the Sumeru City Order."
After saying that, he leaned down familiarly and sat down next to Paimon before she could react.
"Hey! I didn't say you could sit next to me, did I?"
Paimon was shocked and moved closer to Ying.
"Now that I have identified myself, would you be willing to let me join your ranks?"
Elhesen calmly looked at Xun Feng, who was at the head of the group, completely ignoring Paimon's reaction.
Looking at the suspicious man in front of him, Xun Feng briefly introduced everyone's identities, then stroked his chin, preparing to test him.
"Since you are a scribe of the Order of the Church, why are you in Port Ormos?"
“I’m here on some business. I heard that the whereabouts of the divine knowledge jar are here. I happened to overhear your plan while having lunch. I think your plan is very clear, and you even have information that I don’t know about. Although I am a member of the Order of the Church, I am quite dissatisfied with Azar’s behavior. If possible, I would like to join you.”
After saying that, Al-Hysen raised his head and took out his notebook.
The notebook was filled with Al-Hysen's calculations and contingency plans for the next few days.
Looking at the dense diagrams and text, Paimon was instantly overwhelmed.
"Hmm... Is this something the Teyvats could write...? My head is spinning after reading it..."
Looking at the contents of the notebook, Xun Feng began to scrutinize Elhesen with surprise.
He had a premonition that this person was an absolute genius.
"Seeing your sincerity, I'll believe you for now. I doubt many people in the entire Order of the Fathers know that the Grass God has been imprisoned."
Xunfeng inquired mysteriously once again.
"I have worked at the Order of the Teachings for so many years, and the Order of the Teachings has always claimed that the Grass God is asleep, and the heavy responsibility of managing Sumeru naturally falls on the shoulders of the Order of the Teachings."
After saying that, Elhesen shrugged.
"As expected, the Council of the Church concealed the truth... It seems that their plan to create a god is also a secret."
After thinking for a long time, Xunfeng slowly spoke.
"What was that divine knowledge you were talking about earlier?"
"Killed knowledge is a quick way for the Sumeru people to acquire all kinds of knowledge, and the knowledge that the gods have canistered contains immeasurable power. I have come here to see what it is that is worth fighting over by so many people."
"Then do you know about the void?"
“Oh? What I’m wearing on my ear is the Void Terminal. The Void is a product of the wisdom of the Grass God, managing and calculating the entire Sumeru.”
"I advise you to pick it."
"Why is that? The Void has brought great convenience to my academic research, and I have been wearing it for many years."
After saying that, Elhesen frowned in confusion.
"Heh, if you continue wearing it, you'll become one of the tools of the Church Council's god-making plan."
