"Do you really want me to charge you with a crime of concealing a false statement? And then expel you from the House of the Decrees, and send you back to that barren and impoverished desert?"

Just a few words.

Setale almost broke through the defense.

It was true that she felt guilty about the desert, but she also did not want to lose the conveniences of the House of the Decrees.

Moreover, she concealed the knowledge of the Red King for Rhodes and helped recruit scholars for Aru Village. Besides the guilt she felt, she also really wanted to get the chance to obtain the knowledge of the Red King.

But now, not only did she not have the time to do anything for her hometown, she was also at risk of losing the support of the House of Religious Orders.

Not to mention making up for the evil she had done to the desert, even this great opportunity was basically out of her reach.

This was a consequence she could not bear.

Setale's lips trembled a few times. After hesitating for only a moment, she lowered her head and replied, "I'll go inform Secretary Elhaisen right away."

Done.

She left the Great Sage's office in a distraught state.

What Setale didn't hear was.

Just as she walked out of the door, a voice rang out from behind her: "Humph, you're a desert kid who can't be tamed."

Finished beating Setare.

Hazard had no intention of continuing to rest. He sat up straight and began to look at the various new intelligence that had been sent to him one by one.

The House of the Ordinances is more than just an academic organization.

As the powerful organization that controls the entire Xumi.

In addition to academic research, they also have all the administrative strategies, diplomacy, intelligence and other things that a national institution should have.

Azar is a great sage.

In every sense, he is the supreme ruler of the entire Xumi.

Therefore, checking the intelligence carefully selected and sent to him by his subordinates every day is something he must do in addition to his normal academic research.

In the past month.

The most common information on his desk was about Rhodes.

“Is this how genius comes about?”

Hazard was deeply impressed by the name Rode.

After all, he was a desert dweller whose achievements were beyond compare and who had caused the sages to challenge him to a real offline fight. It was impossible not to have a deep impression on him.

But after he compromised with the irritable Nafis and Gulesh, he no longer paid attention to this freshman who was rarely in the academy.

And the last time he heard the name Rhodes.

These are the four words "Red King's Envoy" sent by the intelligence department.

Originally, Hazard's attitude was dismissive, and he just regarded it as an attempt to gain prestige in the desert under a false name.

But he soon realized it.

Just a messenger of the Red King is nothing. Just send a few people to investigate and expose his fake identity.

Rhodes and the Red King's Envoy combined.

This is a bit subtle.

A super desert genius who relied purely on self-study but broke the long-standing record of the Ordinance Hall.

Theoretically, this should be absolutely impossible.

At the beginning, Hazard also suspected whether Rod had had any adventure.

Since no strong evidence has been found, and Nafis and Guresh are keeping a close eye on the case, there is also a big disciplinary officer watching behind the scenes.

Therefore, Azar's men only conducted a cursory investigation and then stopped.

And after receiving this new news from the Red King's Envoy.

Hazard did some simple reasoning and easily came up with a possibility.

Could it be that this Rhodes had obtained the knowledge of the Red King?

You have to know that the Red King's technology is so advanced that the current Academy of Religion cannot even begin to match it.

you could put it that way.

Many of the technologies of the Order of the Lord are still developed from the archaeological discoveries of the Red King's ruins.

Therefore, if Rhodes had obtained the knowledge of the Scarlet King, it would make sense that he would publicly announce such a controversial identity in the desert and achieve a stunning success in the assessment of the Academy of Teachings.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this may sound ridiculous at first glance.

But it's not like there is no possibility at all.

I would rather believe it exists than not believe it exists.

Azar first searched the information in the void, and then found that there was almost no information about Rhodes before he entered Xumi City. Moreover, he lived in the desert all year round, and there was very little new information about him entered into the void.

So he mobilized his confidants.

On the one hand, all the people related to Rhodes were recorded into the void, and their behaviors were monitored at any time to deduce Rhodes' peculiarities.

On the other hand, he also sent people to disguise as traveling merchants and other special identities to sneak into the village of Aru to investigate the intelligence information of Rod before he entered the Church Order.

Such a two-pronged approach.

This allowed Azar to quickly obtain a lot of information that he had never had before.

Until today.

Based on the judgment drawn from Setare's words, actions and psychological changes just now, combined with the many information he had previously obtained from Hafsay and those investigators, he was finally able to draw a conclusion with certainty.

Rhodes is a desert dweller who possesses knowledge of the Red King, and is highly suspected of being connected to the Little Auspicious Grass King.

"Little Lucky Grass King, you really haven't given up yet."

Putting down the information in his hand, Azar looked up in the direction of Jingshan Palace and whispered to himself.

Finish the job at hand.

Azar was about to issue an order to bring Rhodes to him so that he could have a good communication with this Red King believer who was suspected to have a connection with the Little Auspicious Grass King.

However, just as he took out his void terminal, someone knocked on the office door.

The sound was very urgent.

Looks like something urgent.

Azar frowned, put down the Void Terminal in his hand temporarily, and said in a deep voice: "Come in."

The sound just fell.

A scholar in a hurry ran in, shouting as he ran: "Great Sage, many miraculous signs of small auspicious grass kings suddenly appeared in the city."

His name is Uday, and he is Azar's most loyal lackey.

"what!"

Azar stood up suddenly, frowned and asked, "When did it happen?"

"Just ten minutes ago."

"Starting from the Grand Bazaar, Baoshang Street, Tree King Street, and any street with a lot of people, there are people showing the miracles of the Grass God, and they all say in unison that they have received the grace of the Little Auspicious Grass King."

Uday explained the emergency situation clearly and completely as quickly as possible.

Compared to this anxious scholar, Azar was able to remain calm and asked, "Where are the guards?"

talking.

He picked up the void terminal again and prepared to issue orders.

"These people are protected by mercenaries. They run very fast, and as long as they evade the guards' pursuit, they will immediately show their miracles in a new place."

Uday finished speaking.

Azar's expression changed slightly, but he was not as panicked as Uday. He just nodded slightly, entered a command into a blank can of knowledge on his desk, and then issued the command to the void terminal through it.

The instructions are simple.

[Increase the tracking force and appease all witnesses by saying that it is a rumor and that believers of false gods are deceiving the people. ]

After the order is issued.

Although this small disturbance did not make Hazard panic, he still couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

The Red King's messenger, the little auspicious grass king's miracle, and the assistance of mercenaries.

These things alone are not something that can make people calm down.

What's more, they are superimposed on each other.

Azar felt uneasy and after thinking for a moment, he stood up and checked the key to the cage that locked Nashida. After confirming that the key was safe, he left the office and went to the Jingshan Palace, which only he could enter.

along the way.

He carefully observed the guard forces outside the Jingshan Palace, and after confirming that no one could sneak in, he felt relieved, pushed open the palace door, and came to Nashida.

At this time, Nashida's consciousness had not yet been closed.

Therefore, she can still communicate normally with Hazard.

Seeing that Nashida was still safely locked in the cage, Azar was completely relieved, and then smiled and said, "Little King of Lucky Grass, you did it, right?"

Without waiting for Nashida to answer.

He continued to talk to himself, "Have you given up? You actually came up with this method to force public opinion. What a pity, you can't do it like the Great Compassion Tree King, otherwise I would have opened this cage long ago. Tsk, do you think you can now guide us to break the boundless darkness in our consciousness and wisdom and bring us true wisdom? Haha, even if you can come out like this, can you solve the crisis of the World Tree?"

Azar's voice echoed back and forth in the Jingshan Palace, especially the words "cannot be like the Great Compassionate Tree King", which lingered in the air and were repeated several times in succession.

At this time.

Nashida, who had been keeping her eyes closed, slowly opened them and said calmly, "I don't know what you are talking about."

"do not know?"

Azar smiled.

He was convinced.

He let the believers of the Little Auspicious Grass King come to Xumi City to cause trouble, and let another believer and Red King's messenger, Rhodes, instigate those low-level mercenaries to help these believers who were causing trouble.

Able to mobilize so many people.

Nashida said it wasn't her who gave the order, so who else could it be?

Could it be that just relying on Rhode's two unclear identities, he could convince so many people to come to the city to cause trouble?

However, Hazard did not make any more sarcastic remarks and just bowed slightly.

"If you don't know, I won't bother you anymore."

"It seems that everything was done by your believer himself. I will take care of this matter."

"Don't bother me anymore, bye."

After checking Nashida's condition, Azar was completely relieved.

As long as the little auspicious grass king has not escaped from the cage, it means that everything is still under his control.

Under Nashida's calm gaze, Azar left the Pure Palace with a relaxed mind and issued a new order to bring the trainee Tusita scholar to his office.

There is an old saying in Liyue: Capture the leader first.

Hazard is convinced.

The person who planned these things was Rhodes.

Therefore, it is definitely right to start with him, a person full of suspicious points.
