People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 81: Dirty Hands
Atuo River Valley, the mountain where all demons are subdued.

In the dense rainforest, the trees are intertwined, and the sunlight can only barely shine through the gaps between the branches onto the ground, casting mottled light and shadows.

The rubbing sounds of leaves and the panicked cries of birds and animals intertwined together, as regular yet hurried as the breathing of the jungle.

Ghazali ran through the rainforest, his face full of anxiety.

"Huff, huff—"

The trees brushed past him, stinging his skin. His rapid, heavy breathing echoed among the trees. He stumbled through the rainforest, using all his strength to report the accident to the Court of Ordinances as quickly as possible.

——Not only did you destroy the cultural relics, you even dared to hit me!

——You idiot in a mask! Just wait! I'll report you right away!
The young man in green cursed the bastard fiercely in his heart.

Standing in front of the office door, Ghazali paced back and forth anxiously.

——The research subject stood up and ran away by himself. This is such a fantastic thing, just like the experimental crops of the senior from the biological theory school being secretly picked and eaten by someone.

He couldn't help but feel scared when he thought of the unlucky guy who had to delay his graduation two years ago because his thesis was taken away by someone in secret.

——With such a serious experimental accident, my research funding may be suspended for several years.

If that situation really happened, Gazari felt that he might not be able to help but run back to the Mountain of Subduing Demons and personally tear the guy wearing the bird-beak mask off the colossus and give him a good beating.

Before the tutor responded, Gazari, feeling anxious, took increasingly slow steps, just like the elderly woman next door.

Tsk, this kid does seem a bit miserable.
——Or, after you have used up the huge treasure, you can find a reason to approve some research funds for him?
Atuo Valley, inside the cockpit of the ruins colossus.

Lin Feng was tossing the pointed-mouth mask in his hand and watching the live broadcast with great interest through the void worn by Gazari.

——Since the last time he accompanied the Grass God for a stroll, as soon as Lin Feng came back, Nashida gave him a share of the highest authority regarding the void.

Relying on the incomplete authority of dreams, Lin Feng is still unable to complete high-end operations such as consciousness possession.

But if you just want to watch a live broadcast from the other person's perspective, it's more than enough.

During Gazari's escape from the Demon Subduing Mountain, Lin Feng had secretly helped this unlucky guy several times with the help of this ability.

Otherwise, with his small body, running around in the rainforest, even if there were two slimes, he would probably be forced to stay where he is, crouching with his head in his hands.

Seeing that Ghazali had finally returned safely to the House of the Decrees, he reported the news of the revival of the ruins colossus to the mentor of the Myo-lun school.

Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his main goal was finally half achieved.

It is worth mentioning that,
After returning, Ghazali even made a special trip to the disciplinary officer's office.

With gritted teeth, he handed over the portrait of the "culprit" that he had commissioned his junior from the Minglun School to draw to the disciplinary officer on duty.

Lin Feng looked at the lifelike "Doctor" in the portrait and couldn't help but sigh that the executive's charm was truly terrifying.

——With just one glance, he was able to win a loyal fan in the talented Xumi Academy.

"squeak"

Because Lin Feng was busy watching the live broadcast, Xiaobai, who had no one to play with, yawned out of boredom.

Suddenly noticing the mask flying up and down in Lin Feng's hand, the black and white treasure-stealing weasel's eyes lit up, and accompanied by a breeze, it quietly disappeared into the empty ruins cab.

Xumi City, the Temple of the Lord. After reporting what he had seen and heard to his mentor, Ghazali returned to his residence in Xumi City with an uneasy feeling of "waiting for a reply".

The "experimental accident" he reported, along with the countless events that happened today, were summarized in the hands of the Great Sage's first secretary, Setale.

As a secretary specially promoted by the great sage Azar, Setare was born in the desert.

Due to her poor family background, she was often discriminated against in her early years. Even though she was the top academic genius among the desert people, she was still not taken seriously by the scholars in the rainforest.

Fortunately, the great sage Azar took a fancy to her work ability and promoted her to the House of the Decree as an exception and kept her by his side as an assistant.

In order to cherish this hard-won opportunity, Setale would do her job diligently every day to summarize and organize the various information reported by the House of Lords, and burn it into a can of knowledge for the Sage to read.

Although she was a little confused about why the Sage was unwilling to wear the normal version of the Void Terminal, Setale knew that it was best not to be curious about things that she shouldn't ask. She just summarized today's information in a down-to-earth manner.

".Traces of the Eye of Achmar's activities were found in the Omos Port area. They are suspected of selling banned books. The mercenary group on duty requested the disciplinary officer to intervene."

".The Miaolun School and Zhilun School have filed separate applications for the ownership of the works of the "Relics and Mechanisms Series" by the Falusan scholar, hoping that the Great Sage will make a ruling."

".The giant statue in the ruins of the Mountain of Subduing Demons has inexplicably revived. It is suspected to be the work of a mysterious masked man. Although it has not moved yet, I hope the great sage will determine a solution as soon as possible."

???

When she saw the last one, Setale rubbed her eyes, wondering if there was something wrong.

After confirming it again and again, she had to accept that the information was true.

Because of the rumors about her "hometown", Setale is much more aware of the destructive power of the ruins colossus than ordinary people.

With an inexplicable worry, she sorted out all the information and burned it into a brand new can of knowledge.

Looking at the timer on the wall, Setale realized that it was getting late.

She quickly picked up the thick documents at hand and the canned knowledge that had just been burned, and rushed to the office of the great sage Azar.

Because she was worried that she would go too late and waste the time of the great sage, Setale hurried her steps.

Perhaps it was due to haste, or perhaps the cleaning staff was too enthusiastic about their work.

At the corner of the corridor, just as she took a step forward with her front foot, her back foot slipped inexplicably.

!!!

The familiar feeling of weightlessness came over Setale, and she was startled. She held the canned knowledge and documents in her arms and closed her eyes reflexively.

Just as the young sage assistant was about to fall to the ground, Setale suddenly felt someone gently supporting her on the waist, stopping her from falling.

"."

"."

Because the other party didn't say anything, Setale opened her eyes with a little confusion.

——Through the bangs on her forehead, she saw a very handsome, yet somewhat cold face.
