People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 82: Great Sage Azar
In the black and white corridor, a young woman with wheat-colored skin was lying on her back. Judging from her angle relative to the ground, she should have fallen heavily to the ground.

"."

".Um, thank you."

Setale realized what had just happened, stood up somewhat embarrassedly, fixed her hair, and thanked the clerk in front of her whom she rarely saw on weekdays.

"Nothing, this is the time when the staff are cleaning, so the ground will be quite slippery."

"——I don't always pass by here, so I'll be careful next time."

Elhaisen handed back the documents and canned knowledge that the other party accidentally dropped, and spoke in a flat tone.

"."

"."

The other party's words were too straightforward for Setale to know how to respond for a moment. After a moment of silence, she finally said:
"Well, thank you! I still have work to do. I will bring a gift to your office to thank you during work hours tomorrow!"

"Then I'll leave first!"

As if hoping to escape from the current awkward atmosphere, Setale ran away carefully without waiting for Elhaisen to reply after she finished speaking.

"."

Elhaisen didn't care, his purpose of coming here had been achieved.

Touching the can of knowledge on his waist, he left the unusually slippery corridor as usual.

"Om-"

The disc-shaped floating ladder slowly ascended as instructed.

Setale took a deep breath and calmed down her unexpectedly agitated mood.

She checked the documents and green crystal in her hand and found that they were both intact. She felt even more grateful to the clerk who had just helped her.

——Although I heard that he is a strange person, I will go and thank him sincerely after work tomorrow.

Setare made a decision in her mind.

"boom--"

With a slight collision sound, the floating ladder stopped at the top of the Palace of Wisdom.

Setale expertly climbed the spiral staircase in front of her and walked toward the Great Sage's work area on the north side of the room.

In the open space, all you can see is a long table and a high-back chair that symbolizes supreme power.

Azar, wearing a blue felt hat, is now sitting on the gray-brown throne that symbolizes the supreme status of the great sage.

He was holding a document, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

Setale stood quietly in the left corner of the room, without disturbing or making any noise, waiting for the old man in front of her to finish his work.

The sound of turning pages could be heard, and Hazard's expression became more and more strange.

After a long while, the great sage put down the document in his hand.
He raised his head and looked at Setare who was standing quietly in the corner.

There was a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, and he said:

"Come here, Setale, put the documents and 'that' here, I'll see what else happened today."

"Yes."

Knowing the old man's strict pursuit of efficiency, Setale responded promptly and placed the green crystal and neatly arranged documents on both sides of the old man.

"Um"

Azar picked up the green can of knowledge, activated the local terminal on his body, and began to read the information in it.

——In order to avoid the influence of certain external factors, great sages of all generations would not completely connect to the void terminal, but would use local terminals with most of the void's functions instead.

The explanation given to the outside world is to protect the information security of the sages.

But only they know that this is just a necessary preventive measure.

"It seems that there is still nothing worth paying attention to today." After a long time, Hazard put aside the canned knowledge that needed to be discarded and spoke.

"But."

Setale seemed to want to say something, but quickly gave up.

"Say"

Azar glanced at Setale and saw that she was hesitant to speak.

"Efficiency should be the priority in everything. This is not what I taught you before."

Dissatisfied with Setare's hesitation, Azar narrowed his eyes slightly behind his monocle.

"sorry!"

Setare apologized hastily.

"I saw the news about the resurrection of the Colossus in the intelligence, and I am afraid that it will have an adverse impact on the House of the Decrees, so I am a little worried, not questioning you!"

The young sage assistant bowed his head in apology, explaining his thoughts as concisely and clearly as possible.

"Oh? That one."

"——It's just a worthless antique."

Azar doesn't seem to take the Ruins Colossus seriously.

But Setare's doubts seemed to arouse his desire for some explanation.

After a pause, Hazard continued:

"Decades ago, the House of the Decrees conducted a rigorous review of the status of the colossus."

"Including the research results of Master Kapilavastu, the conclusions of countless predecessors have proved that the damage of the ruins colossus is very serious and it is no different from waste."

"——That's why the Miaolun School was willing to grant the highest research authority to two young people without any qualifications a few years ago."

The research results accumulated by the House of the Decrees over the past five hundred years, like the vast amount of knowledge in the void, are what Azar is most proud of.

As long as we have the wisdom of our predecessors, there will be no completely unfamiliar problems in this world.

"But, according to the report of researcher Ghazali, the Colossus has been completely restored under the influence of the mysterious man."

"What a ridiculous conclusion!"

Before Setale could finish her words, Azar interrupted her.

"Look at what this says."

"——Without energy, the parts flew in automatically, and the Colossus was completely restored to its original state."

"If this can be considered an investigative report, then what is the difference between the House of the Holy Orders and those vagrants in Mond who tell lies?"

Setale sensed Azar's strong dissatisfaction and decided not to ask any more questions.

"However, it's normal for you to have such doubts."

The gray-haired old man continued to speak to himself.

"After all, you latecomers have never had the chance to see what real power looks like since you were born."

"True God, true power, true wisdom!"

"It's just a piece of iron that was knocked down five hundred years ago. I will arrange for people from the Miaolun Sect to deal with it. Don't worry."

Hazard hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly felt dizzy.

No longer in the mood to explain further, he waved away Setale beside him and planned to deal with something that really deserved his attention.

After Setale left, Azar picked up the portrait of the "culprit" on the table and couldn't help wondering what his "collaborator" was up to.

Feeling an inexplicable sense of disharmony in his heart, Azar left the top floor of the Palace of Wisdom and planned to meet the "fugitive criminal".
