Time passes,

Seven days passed in a trance,

For seven days, Sumeru City was extremely lively,

The arrival of the Flower God's Birthday Festival made the entire city of Sumeru prosperous.

And to everyone's surprise,

Originally, the Akademiya forbade the appearance of entertainment and other acts,

This time, there was no response,

Some scholars even went to the great sage to give feedback on the performance of the Grand Bazaar.

The Great Sage did not give any instructions to stop it,

So in the strange calm of the Akademiya,

The Grand Bazaar's Flower God Festival is gradually expanding,

To this day, even the people of Port Omos and Huachengguo know that Sumeru City is holding the Flower God Festival.

Some people who had a good impression of the little auspicious grass king began to converge on Sumeru City.

As a result, Sumeru City is becoming more and more lively.

Baoshang Street,

In the crowded streets,

Wang Daoyi hugged Nahida and walked in front of the stall on the side of the road.

"Boss, here's a little bit."

"Boss, come on a little bit."

After a while, Wang Dao hung a big bag in his hand.

There was a hint of sugar juice on the side of Nahida's small mouth, and she made a small face: "Daoyi, that's enough, we can't finish eating." ”

Wang Daoyi took a bag of snacks from the stall next to him again.

"It's okay, we can't finish eating, and we can take it with our animal friends, as well as Lanara, we can share it with them, right?"

Today is Nahida's birthday, and Wang Daoyi doesn't want to do anything else, so he wants to spend a birthday with Nahida.

"Animal friends are not allowed to eat these things, it will harm their digestive system, Daoyi, you should go and review the knowledge of the Biological School."

Nahida glanced at Wang Daoyi, and then smiled: "However, the Lannaras are okay, they can eat human food, Daoyi, buy more." ”

Nahida likes the feeling of being with Wang Daoyi,

On the one hand, it is the sharing of Sumeru's authority between the two, which makes the two rely on each other tightly.

The other part is that Wang Daoyi will meet all of Nahida's requirements, so that Nahida really feels that she is being spoiled.

She had never been so spoiled in five hundred years.

Grabbing Wang Daoyi's neckline with her small hand, Nahida happily buried her face in Wang Daoyi's hair.

The breath that belonged to Wang Daoyi filled Nahida's senses,

Nahida had a quiet smile on her lips,

It's good that none of this is a dream, it's all real,

It won't be like the previous five hundred birthdays, waking up to the cold Jingshan Palace.

That will never happen again.

The little man clung to his Redeemer,

In his mouth, he muttered a gentle song:

The float was jolting, and Nahida opened her eyes,

She said that she had just dreamed that Nahida's birthday was today.

In a dream, the Flower Knight and his attendants found her.

Gods, I've found you, and everyone is looking forward to meeting you.

The Flower God Festival opened, and people circled around her happily.

Until Nahida got on the float and waved goodbye to everyone. ”

The girl's voice was smooth and long, as if with a serenity,

And in the tranquility, there is endless hesitation.

Wang Daoyi seemed to see a small person,

She awoke in joy because it was her birthday,

She was expecting the knights and squires to discover her, and it was a surprise.

She was looking forward to everyone going around her in circles, and it was happy.

She is looking forward to riding the float with everyone's waving hands, it is beautiful.

She is looking forward to the celebration that belongs to her, which is happiness.

It's just that

The girl opened her eyes in the empty palace of pure goodness,

There was no surprise from the knights and squires, only the cold eyes of the great sage, which was loss.

There is no happy circle of everyone, only the silent Jingshan Palace, which is lonely.

There are no beautiful floats, only the unopened Tree King meditation room, which is captivity.

There is no celebration, only oblivion.

Five hundred years of captivity, five hundred expectations, five hundred dreams, five hundred disillusionments.

All this made the little guy firmly grasp Wang Daoyi's collar and was unwilling to let go.

She was afraid, she was afraid that if she let go, everything in front of her would be as disillusioned as a dream.

is obviously a god of dreams, but at this moment, she is so afraid that all this is a dream.

Feeling the inner turmoil of the little one,

Wang Daoyi's eyes showed a trace of pity, but it quickly dissipated,

Gently patting Nahida's back, Wang Daoyi said softly: "It is estimated that it will be too late this year, next year, at next year's Flower God Festival Festival, there will definitely be floats, knights, and attendants." ”

"When the time comes, Nahida can play and play at will, and no one can restrain you anymore."

Wang Daoyi's eyes were fierce,

"After the Great Purge, all decay will disappear, and I will give you the best Akademiya."

It seems that he didn't hear Wang Daoyi's cold voice,

Nahida hugged his neck and rubbed her little face.

"Let's go see the show, there are a lot of performances today,"

Nahida said.

Wang Daoyi put away the cold color in his eyes, the tone became warmer, and the air around him loosened.

"Okay, let's go see the show."

——

On the other side,

Inside the Akademiya,

Ying changed into an ordinary Akademiya scholar costume,

Take Paimon with him and walk in the silent and empty corridor.

Maybe everyone went to see the birthday festival of the god of flowers,

There's no one here in the Akademiya,

However, it also provided the best time for Ying.

In the past seven days, she has explored many places in the Akademiya.

Nothing useful was found, but a lot of research groups were found to have lost their research funds.

Anyway, Alhaithham, as a clerk, is a lot more pleasing to the eye.

Ying has reduced his workload a lot,

From this point of view, Ying's position as a clerk's assistant can be regarded as a solid position.

"Ying, is there really an inner ghost inside the Akademiya? We've searched so many archives, but we still haven't found any. ”

Paimon flew by Ying's side and said with some frustration.

Originally, she was also full of confidence, thinking that she would soon be able to find out the inner ghost.

But after seven days, he didn't find anything at all, which really made Paimon lose confidence.

"No, we've at least eliminated a lot of wrong answers, haven't we?"

"We all went to investigate those scholars who looked bad, but the most common thing was to embezzle research funds and not collude with the Fatui."

"This shows that the person we want to investigate has a higher status and more secretive behavior, so, in fact, our investigation has narrowed down a lot."

Ying walked as she encouraged Paimon,

It's not encouraging, in fact, that's what Ying thinks.

Every failed picket is helping to eliminate a wrong answer.

Although the exhaustive method is backward, it is the solution to most of the world's problems.

Paimon was thrilled by Ying's words, and then cheered up and looked at Ying's beside him, "In that case, do you have a goal?" ”

"Of course." Ying nodded, remembering a sentence Cyno had said to her.

[After I reported the matter to the Great Sage, some of the permissions of my Void Terminal were restricted. 】

After Cyno fed back the problems he found to the Great Sage, his Void Terminal was restricted.

This is enough to show that there should be something wrong with the great sage of the Akademiya.

At first, Ying had made a note of this, but she didn't doubt the Great Sage.

After all, the Great Sage is the supreme leader of the country,

When the supreme leader of a country betrayed the country and cooperated with the Fatui, Ying really couldn't figure out why the Great Sage would do this.

However, after investigating in the Akademiya for so long, I can't find any traces.

This situation made Ying have to doubt the great sage,

After all, if you want all traces to disappear, only the great sage who controls the whole of Sumeru can do it.

So, taking advantage of the flower god's birthday festival to attract everyone's attention,

Ying was going to explore the Great Sage's office.

When Paimon heard that Ying was aiming again, he stopped talking, and just quietly followed behind Ying.

It's not that she doesn't want to say it, it's just that she can't say it.

Even in the interior of the Akademiya, it is rare to see a small thing floating around, intelligent, and able to speak.

really

After approaching the depths of the Palace of Wisdom,

Ying and Paimon were stopped by the thirty-man regiment stationed there.

"Stop, there is a forbidden place in front, and ordinary scholars are forbidden to enter."

In front of Ying, a female discipline officer led someone and stopped her, and behind the other party was the elevator that entered the office of the great sage. ’

"I'm Clerk Alhaithham's assistant, and I need to go to the Great Sage's office to get some information." Ying replied very naturally.

"The clerk's assistant?"

The female matriarch glanced at Ying suspiciously, and then activated the Void Terminal,

Sure enough, Ying's identity was also displayed on the void terminal,

It is indeed an adventurer who recently joined the Akademiya, and his current identity is a clerk's assistant.

"I'm sorry, in the absence of a warrant, ordinary scholars are not allowed to enter the upper floor of the Wisdom Palace, if you want to go up, please show the clerk's warrant."

The female discipline officer still did not let her go directly, but asked Ying for a warrant.

But they don't have any warrants.

"It's not going to be going to be killed again."

Behind Ying, Paimon is a little anxious, but still plays the role of a floating assistant unit.

Then Paimon saw Ying nodding at the female matron, "Okay, I can use the Void Terminal to send it directly to you, please accept it." ”

"Okay, I'm in trouble." The female matriarch nodded.

Transmitting commands from the Void Terminal, which is common in the Akademiya.

Paimon then saw Ying on his Void Terminal, presumably transmitting some message to the other party.

And the female discipline officer on the other side changed slightly, but quickly returned to normal,

She nodded to the group of thirty beside her: "The order is compliant, let it go." ”

Then he turned his head to look at Ying: "There are a lot of important materials in the Great Sage's office, please don't read them at will, and don't mess up the order of the materials, so as not to affect the work of the Great Sage in the future." ”

Ying also nodded at her: "Okay, thank you, I remember." ”

Then he led Paimon into the 'elevator' behind the female maester and the group of thirty.

The circular 'elevator' slowly started, and he took Ying to the highest place of the Wisdom Palace.

When the elevator enters mid-air, it leaves the sight of others.

Paimon finally stopped pretending, and she looked at Ying with a curious expression, "Ying, where did you get the warrant?" ”

Ying smiled and shook her head, "I don't have any warrants, and Alhaitham doesn't look like someone who will give us a warrant." ”

Paimon was even more surprised,

"Then how did you get the people just now to let us in?"

"Since the other party is a wind judge, he should know Cyno, so I used the secret order given by Cyno to tell her through the Void Terminal that we were sent by Cyno to investigate something."

"Sure enough, after seeing Cyno's secret order, she let us go up and reminded us not to rummage things around, and to restore the original state after turning over."

Ying's eyes glistened with fine light, and her brain raced.

"Although Cyno is the Great Wind Judge and her direct boss, she put us up and reminded us, which means that the Wind Judge may also think that there is a problem with the Great Sage."

"She's borrowing our hand to investigate the Great Sage."

The elevator slowly floated up, and Ying seemed to have figured out a lot of things.

On top of that, she almost confirmed that there was something wrong with the Great Sage.

While Ying and Paimon were talking, their destination was also there.

A large, planetar-like device appeared above them.

"It's." Paimon was shocked.

"This is one of the access points to the Void, and it is through this device that the Akademiya enters knowledge into the Void."

A voice came from behind Paimon.

Ying turned around and protected Paimon behind him,

Reaching out and holding it in the void, the bladeless sword appeared in her hand.

Only then did he look at the person who had just spoken.

The other party didn't care about Ying's big moves.

Instead, he smiled at Ying: "Haha, you're finally here." ”

"I'm Pana, the Akademiya's Akademiya, responsible for delivering messages between scholars and sages."

Ying looked at him vigilantly: "You know we're coming?" ”

Pana nodded: "Of course, after that batch of canned knowledge was robbed, the Lord of the Red Sand expected everything, and he informed me and asked me to wait here for your arrival. ”

"Huh?" Ying couldn't have imagined that there was still a matter of the Lord of the Red Sand here.

"Huh? Weird, isn't it? Haha, although I am a scholar of the Akademiya, I have also seen the majesty of the Lord of the Red Sand in the desert, and besides, the Lord of the Red Sand has a good relationship with the Little Auspicious Grass King, and I don't mind that I believe in two gods at the same time. ”

That's right, this Pana is one of the scholars who once gathered in the desert.

It had been under the command of Wang Daoyi and Nahida for a long time.

"The great Lord of the Red Sands, after the Fatui stole the canned knowledge, sensed the Fatui's conspiracy, and he ordered me to wait here for the arrival of the two brave men."

"In the prophecy of the Lord of the Red Sands, the two brave men will definitely save Sumeru."

"I'm so grateful to the two brave men."

This Pana seems to have some words,

Talking to Ying and Paimon endlessly, praising the two of them as Sumeru's heroes.

Ying and Paimon were stunned, and it took a while for them to realize that they had come to find information.

Hurriedly waved his hand, interrupted Pana's words, and asked, "We are here to find traitors inside the Akademiya, do you have any information?" ”

Pana was interrupted, and only then did he realize that he was off topic again,

He slapped his head and smiled embarrassedly.

"Haha, I'm really sorry for wasting your time, yes, I've got the evidence ready for you, please come with me."

Pana walked to the bookshelf with Ying and Paimon to the side.

"As a bridge between sages and scholars, I have recorded a lot of evidence that Hazard is a bad guy."

fumbled around the bookshelf for a while,

Pana pulled out a stack of papers and handed them to Ying.

Ying carefully opened it and looked at it, and was immediately attracted by what was recorded in it.

[**year*month, the great sage mobilized a number of resources, transported them into the Akademiya, and implemented the ** plan. 】

[**year*month, the great sage mobilized a number of resources, transported them into the Akademiya, and implemented the ** plan. 】

There are hundreds of such similar materials, and you can imagine how many resources the Great Sage mobilized to enter the Akademya.

It's all simple, though,

Flip file,

The time of the record came a month ago,

[The Great Sage sent mad scholars to Aru Village, but reduced the number of relevant transportation personnel, resulting in multiple looting, and the Great Sage suppressed the information. 】

[The Great Sage activates the Void and forcibly develops the knowledge of the World Tree, causing the Void to freeze. 】

[The great sage said that the ** plan could not fail, and increased the input of materials. 】

【. 】

Ying kept flipping through the documents and found that there were many things she couldn't read.

What is a mad scholar, what is World Tree knowledge, and where is Aru Village?

Ying doesn't even know,

Still, she put the papers away.

"Thank you for your help, if I am really the hero who saved Sumeru as the Lord of the Red Sand said, then this merit will have your share."

Ying thanked Pana.

Hearing Ying's words, Pana trembled with excitement, he didn't expect that he would also share his heroic exploits one day.

Then he heard Ying ask, "By the way, what is the plan recorded on it, and why did it all cross out." ”

"Oh, these are all downloaded from the void, in the void terminal of the great sage, these plans are crossed out, it should be a plan that the great sage doesn't want to be known."

Ying's eyes lit up, and she remembered the elements that Cyno had sorted out before.

Materials, dangerous goods, talents,

And now, add the Fatui, betrayal, canned knowledge, and planning.

Some lines came to Ying's mind.

The Great Sage united the Fatui with certain plans,

This project requires a lot of materials and personnel.

The current progress of the project requires those canned knowledge of the Lord of the Red Sands.

Faintly, a guess came to Ying's mind.

She grasped a key message, in this plan, there should be skirmishers,

According to Wang Daoyi's 'accidental' leak information, the skirmishers used that canned knowledge.

plus the information that Ying knows herself,

The balladeer took Inazuma's heart of the gods.

Skirmishers + a lot of supplies + talent + gods canned knowledge

Plus the Doctor they had met before.

Ying has roughly restored the plan of the Fatui and the Great Sage in her heart.

"Okay, thank you, please protect yourself." Ying nodded at Pana,

Then he turned around and greeted Paimon, "Paimon, let's go." ”

Paimon still looked confused: "This is leaving?" Huh? Where do we go? ”

"Of course, I went to see Nilou's dance, you forgot, today is the festival of the god of flowers."

Ying didn't say what she thought in the end, and changed the subject.
