Inquirer of Teyvat

Chapter 518 Desert Project
Sumeru, the Holy Order, and the Palace of Wisdom.

A dozen capable scholars gathered here,

Holding the report just sent out in his hand.

"Do you have anything to say about technical support for resource development in desert areas?"

Opposite a dozen or so scholars, behind a desk, Alheysen looked at the crowd and asked slowly.

"Acting His Majesty the Great Sage, first of all, I would like to ask, what can we get from the Holy Order's technical support for the desert area?"

A scholar stood up and asked El Hessen.

"On the third page of the document, Article [-], regarding the return of the Holy Order's technical support to the desert area, we will obtain the exploration rights, development rights, and benefits of some desert areas."

Elhaysen replied.

"Sorry, Mr. Proxy Sage, with all due respect, this level of return is completely out of proportion to our investment. I know that Mr. Grass God wants to compensate the desert area, but we cannot accept this endless tilt."

"That's right, Mr. Acting Sage, the inclination of educational resources has already affected the growth of the new generation of students. If there is another inclination in technology, it will undoubtedly be unfair to the rain forest."

"Support can be carried out, but it can't be the same as education resources. I admit that the Holy Order suppressed the desert at the beginning, but that was the former Holy Order. We can bear the mistakes of the past, but we can't bear it endlessly."

With one opposing scholar, others voiced their objections.

Generally speaking, everyone does not want to see no return for their support to the desert.

Although the resources of the Holy Order are very rich, they are not unlimited after all.

According to the inclination of educational resources just mentioned,

Even if a child in the desert enjoys one-third of the educational resources of a child in the rainforest, or even lower.

However, the unpaid resource tilt made by the Holy Order will inevitably squeeze the resources of the children in the rainforest.

This is unavoidable.

Everyone here is a scholar,
Know that the rainforest was once sorry for the desert.

I also know that this is the will of the little auspicious grass king.

But what about the low-level people in Sumi?

Could it be that when they bullied the desert people, did they, the low-level people, enjoy the benefits?
Why now, when helping the desert, should they squeeze their children's resources?

It doesn't make sense!
Therefore, looking at the opposing scholars in front of him, Elheysen neither disliked nor agreed with them. He understood their position and understood their meaning better.

What they stand for is the position of the common people under the rule of the Holy Order, which is completely different from the purge of the school lords.

If it is a student, it is for their own benefit to oppose this plan.

And these scholars in front of them, they objected, it was for the benefit of Xumi civilians.

Same action, completely different purpose.

"I understand. If that's the case, then you can read this document again." Elhaysen nodded, expressing that he had heard their opinions, and then motioned behind him, and the instructor sent a new document. document.

Elhessen dislikes the void,
Therefore, the use of the Void by the Holy Order is only restored to the extent of assisting in processing.
Void is just a backup of these important documents. In the conference room, paper documents are still used.

"This is the report submitted by His Excellency Nafis, a sage of the Life Theory Sect, after he returned from his envoy Daozawa.

It records in detail the sacrifices made by Lord Chisha for the negotiation between Sumeru and Inazuma.

I think this can probably convince you. "

After finishing speaking, Elhaisen looked at the scholars quietly and stopped talking.

And the scholars did not continue to look at El Hessen, but flipped through the documents in their hands.

Most of the people who can appear here are the elites left after the Great Cleansing of the Order Academy or the newly rising elites.
They have long understood that it is useless to argue in front of this acting great sage,
The best way to impress this acting great sage is to rely on real evidence and speak out.

That's why there were dissenting voices among scholars before.

Opposition is opposition, as long as there is a reason, the acting great sage will not settle accounts after the fall.

Support is support, as long as there is a reason, and the acting great sage will not remember well.

Under this logic,
Practical work has become the most important label of the current administrative elites of the Holy Order.

Ignoring the quiet and silent acting great sage,
Scholars flipped through the report submitted by Nafis,

They whispered to each other and discussed.

"When the fleet arrived, the Inazuma Shogunate actually only sent a gorgeous carriage to receive Lord Chisha?"

"It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable, it's negligence, it's blasphemy."

One scholar said angrily,

Don't look at the Lord of Red Sand as the god of the desert, but take it out and say that the Lord of Red Sand is the god of Sumeru.

The god of Sumeru was actually neglected in this way, one can imagine what kind of anger these scholars would burst into their hearts.

"The Lord of Red Sand... actually sat on it."

The scholars were slightly silent.

Based on their insight and knowledge reserves, it is natural to see that the Lord of Red Sand is rebelling against Dao's wife.

And the price is the 'face' of the Red Sand Lord.

Face is something that can be expensive or cheap.

But the face of a god cannot be cheap.

Sure enough, Nafes later recorded Daozuma's concessions in many places,
And at the end of the diplomatic negotiations, the Lord of Red Sand appeared and 'forced' the Inazuma representative to agree to Nafis' conditions.

After reading the report, the scholars were slightly silent,

They really didn't expect that the Red Sand Lord could do this for Sumi.

Behind the desk, Alheisen watched the scholars put down the documents, and an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes.

He could be sure that Wang Daoyi must have been smiling when he got into the carriage.

That guy, it's impossible to feel ashamed, he probably thinks it's fun.

Of course, it is impossible for Elhessen to speak these words to scholars.

"Everyone, you have also finished reading. The Lord of Red Sand made a huge sacrifice for Sumeru. So, do you have any opinions on the matter of the Holy Order's tilting of the desert's technical resources?"

The scholars were silent.

Theoretically, the Red Sand Lord made such a big sacrifice, and the rainforest should indeed make simultaneous compensation and thanks.

But starting from the actual situation, their knowledge cannot make a reasonable comparison between [the face of the gods] and [a large amount of resource tilt].

So, scholars are stumped.

The tilt of technical resources will definitely be tilted, but how much is tilted is another question.

Otherwise, open a new topic,
"How many resources are worth the face of the gods"?
This kind of topic will be overwhelmed by those fanatics.

Seeing that the scholars do not speak,
Elheisen said self-consciously: "As for the benefits of cooperation with Dao's wife, the sages of Nafis are still figuring it out, but there is one more thing. The spoils of the Lord of Sand, those materials, are still in Port of Ormos."

As he said that, a nice smile appeared on the corner of Elhaisen's mouth: "I checked and found that many extraordinary materials are currently in short supply in the Holy Order. If you can obtain this piece of material at a reasonable price, within the next three years, the Holy Order will purchase it from outside. The funds can be reduced by half.”

El Heisen's words made the eyes of many scholars shine.
Although they are down-to-earth and willing to work, as administrators, they are completely self-aware about the exchange of benefits.

"Your Excellency, acting Great Sage, may I ask, what is the opinion of Lord Red Sand?"

It has been said to this extent, if you still don't understand that the acting great sage has reached an agreement with the two gods, then these elites are not elites, but flies.

"The opinion of the two gods is that these materials are sold to the Holy Order at a fair price, and the saved funds of the Holy Order are used as support funds to invest in the desert, and scholars participating in the desert support plan have the priority to apply for the materials."

Alhaysen said flatly.

The scholars looked at each other,

Under such conditions, it is equivalent to not squeezing the resources of the normal academy.

However, scholars who participate in the desert support plan can apply for the right to use materials first, which will inevitably lead a large number of scholars to invest in the desert.

Scholar, what happened to going to the desert to eat sand for several months in order to study your own project?
Besides, as far as the current changes in the desert are concerned, if the place of distribution is Chisha Headquarters, eating sand may not be necessary, but it is possible to eat animal meat and get fat.

After all, when some scholars who supported teaching returned to the Academy, they were found to be fat.

Scholars discussed again,

In the end, everyone felt that
The two gods have considered everything, so what can we say?

The previous cleansing of the Holy Order is still vivid.

Although they are dedicated to the public, what if they are misunderstood and have selfish intentions?
Anyway, it will not squeeze the resources of the bottom people and ordinary scholars, so agree.

If you get that batch of supernatural materials, you might be able to resell them to make some money and subsidize them to the lower class.

Therefore, they could only nod to El Hessen: "We have no objection, acting Your Excellency the Great Sage."

"That's good, then everyone, let's make arrangements as soon as possible." Elhaysen smiled, and looked at the time, um, yes, it's almost time to get off work, and it seems that there is no need to work overtime today.

That's right, working overtime, as the deputy great sage, Elhaysen has been forced to work overtime.

There is no way, there are many and urgent matters in the Holy Order, and many things must be handled by the great sage.

He can only work overtime passively.

However, this passive overtime experience also made El Hessen more determined to submit his resignation letter.

He was afraid that if he continued like this, he would be forced to wear a yellow robe, and he would really become a great sage.

Think about it, although he is indifferent to everyone, he is fair to everyone,
Moreover, he is capable in handling affairs and does not need you to exchange favors.
If you are capable, you will be promoted, and if you are not capable, you will be sent to further study.

I don't shirk when there is something, and I don't stare at you when there is nothing.
Do you want such a leader?

Elhaysen already sensed that something was wrong,
He can be sure that if the great sage acting as an agent continues to do so, the word agent will disappear.

"Wait a little longer, resign next month."

Elhaysen said to himself in his heart.

the other side,
Scholars have left,

And a blond scholar went against the flow of people and approached the Palace of Wisdom.

"Senior Carvey, long time no see." The passing scholars waved and greeted the blond scholar.

Carvey smiled and nodded in return.

After a while,
A catechist came down from the great sage's office,

Walking to Karvey: "Scholar Karvey, the acting great sage is waiting for you up there."

The corner of Kawei's mouth twitched, acting as the great sage,
Why is El Hessen so outrageous?
Is there no one in the Holy Order?

Actually let El Heisen act as the acting great sage?
"Okay, sorry to trouble you, I'll go there."

Although he kept complaining in his heart, on the surface, Carvey was still polite.

Going up the elevator in the Palace of Wisdom, Carvey came to the office of the great sage.

The huge spherical void port is slowly rotating,

turn and look to the side,
That nasty fellow El Hessen, with his head down on the table, didn't know what he was calculating.

walked over quickly,

"Elheissen, why did you send someone to call me back?"

Kavi asked angrily,

Although he dug up the ruins before, he not only lost his wages, but also owed Chisha a large sum of money.

But no one in Chisha would regard him as someone who owed money.

As the designer and person in charge of the Red Sand Temple, Kawi has a very special status in the desert.

Everyone was very polite to him.

No one will press him to pay back the money.

Of course, Kavey himself has been urging himself to pay off the debt as soon as possible.

The salary Chisha gave him was not low, and Dolly's debts had almost been paid off.

He was about to work more overtime, and returned Chisha's money,

He was called back by someone sent by Al Heisen.

Therefore, Carvey was very upset with El Hessen,
The other party interrupted his debt repayment journey.

"It seems that you had a good time in the desert." Alhaysen's voice was flat, but in Kawei's ears, there was a hint of sarcasm.

"What do you mean by playing? I work in the desert, pay off that profiteer's money, and still pursue a career I like, isn't it good?"

Kavi stared at El Hessen and said angrily,
Put the file in your hand aside,
Elhaisen raised his head and looked at Karvey: "The Holy Order has already paid off the debts owed by the Chisha Tribal Alliance for you."

Carvey:?
"No? Elhaysen, what do you mean? Are you sympathizing with me? I don't need it, let me tell you, I don't need it?"

The debt was paid off, but Carvey was not happy,

Instead, he became even angrier.
He looked at El Hessen, his face darkened.

"You are always unclear about your situation, Carvey." Elhaysen remained calm.

"Ha, is that why you dictate my life?"

Carvey was short-tempered, he just didn't like Elheysen's calm look,

It would make him, Kavi, stupid.

"It's not that I'm telling you what to do with your life, but that the Academy needs your knowledge, Kavi."

Elhaysen didn't mean to argue with Carvey,
He knows Kavi all too well,
This is a twister,

He wants to make money and has a kind heart,

He wanted to repay the debt, but he didn't want to continue to accept help from others.

He is forever in tangle,

Therefore, Elheysen directly handed him the document at hand.

"Talking to me, you can't seem to keep your sanity, so go straight to the file."

Carvey glanced at El Hessen awkwardly, the anger in his heart was still there, but he still took the file and began to read it carefully.

"Report on the Development and Construction of the Oasis Canal in the Sandy Land of Thousand Valleys"

Carvey was attracted by the headline,
The unhappiness in my heart has been forgotten, and I am concentrating on looking at the document.

And Elhaysen glanced at Carvey, and started to deal with his own affairs again,
It's almost time to get off work, so I have to work quickly to avoid overtime.

A man flips through the papers,

Another person reviewed the documents,

Time passed little by little,

After ten minutes,
Carvey closed the file, with excitement in his eyes,

"So, this is to ask me to be responsible for the development and construction of the oasis canal system?"

Kavi was very excited, extremely excited.

As a designer + architect + engineer,
His desire is not only to build a big palace.

The existence of such a spectacle as the oasis canal system is the highest pursuit of great architects.

Whether it is a palace, a tower, or any other magnificent building,

essentially the same meaning,

show off.

Whether it is a show of force or a show of wealth, it is the same.

But the spectacle of people's livelihood like the oasis canal system is a miracle in the true sense.

Carvey can imagine that once the oasis canal system described in the document is established,

Then his name will be accompanied by the canal, and will always be passed down in the legends of the desert people.

Really, to win the name in life and after life.

Thinking of this, Carvey trembled slightly with excitement.

"Heh, what are you thinking? How could Chisha leave such an opportunity to you directly?" Elhaisen raised his head, breaking Kavey's defense again habitually.

Kavi was slightly stunned, and then looked at El Hesen angrily: "It wasn't for me? Then why did you call me back?"

Kavey was dissatisfied.
It's like seeing someone give you a lottery ticket and tell you that it won [-] million,

When you are happy, he tells you again that this lottery ticket has already been used.

Probably, this is what Carvey is feeling now.

"What Chisha means is to gather the best designers and engineers in Sumeru to build this canal system together. If you want to complete it by yourself, then forget it. However, if you want to compete for the title of chief designer job, that’s fine.”

Elhaysen said calmly,

On the opposite side of him, Kavey's face brightened, then gloomy, and he looked at El Hesen with a displeased expression: "So, you were kidding me just now, weren't you!"

Nodding calmly, Elheysen directly admitted: "Of course, playing with you is one of my hobbies, isn't it?"

Carvey was in a hurry, but he couldn't say anything to refute.

It was true that he was too anxious just now, and was tricked by El Hessen.

As a scholar, this is already embarrassing enough, and continuing to entangle on this topic will only make it more embarrassing.

"Huh~" Taking a deep breath, Carvey looked at El Hessen again: "Tell me, what is the competition law?"

"Chisha will apply to the Holy Order for a group of Miaolun School scholars in architecture, engineering, and design. As the best Miaolun School graduate this year, I have applied for funds from the Holy Order to advance your debt in the desert. , now that you are a free agent, you can freely compete for the position of chief designer."

"Of course, your debts have only been transferred from Chisha to the Holy Order. You don't have to worry about continuing to owe favors. If you win the position of chief designer, then, as an honor of an outstanding scholar, I can consider reducing some of your debts as appropriate. .”

Elheysen knew Carvey too well,

If the Holy Order repays Kavi's debt directly,

Not only will Carvey not be happy, but he will be more worried,
But if it's a debt transfer, it's fine,

Carvey will think he can still settle these debts on his own.

Sure enough, a smile appeared on Carvey's face: "Okay, I will be the chief designer."

Elhaisen nodded: "That's good, yes, now there is a small task, you can just earn some activity funds, do you want to take a look?"

Carvey wanted to say no,
But considering the few moras in my pocket,
Finally he nodded.
