He recalled the historical materials published after the establishment of Shin-Inazuma.

Only a few people in the Inatsuma Shogunate's upper echelons persisted in the struggle and barely maintained their bottom line. The rest, led by Kujo Takayuki, were rotten to the core and were about to sell the entire country to the fools in order to achieve their ulterior motives.

Until the moment before the full-scale attack by the Kaiji army, the shogunate was still cooperating in whitewashing the situation, believing that nothing would happen.

Now that we know about the Void Terminal's conspiracy and the framed Senno, let's look back at the Order of the Church...

[Oh no, this is a replica of the Shogunate era.]

The thought flashed through Elhesen's mind and lingered there for a long time.

The Inatsuma Shogunate aimed to strengthen centralized power, reap wealth, and consolidate its own position. And what about the wise men of the Kyorei-in...?

The answer likely lies within the Void Terminal.

That feeling of fatigue is something everyone in Sumeru City experiences; he has personally felt it and it cannot be faked.

There's just no way of knowing what they're trying to do.

[After going around in circles, we'll know the answer once we see Seno.]

Thinking this, Elhesen directly used the power of the Eye of God to make himself a high-quality replica of the Void Terminal and put it on, then got up and headed to the Order House.

"Huh? That's strange, why do you look so energetic?"

The first person I saw was my "good roommate" Kavi, who, like the previous days, was still listless.

However, Kavi looked at Elhesen with a puzzled expression.

We were both the same when we met last night, so how come the other person suddenly became so energetic after just one night?

"Did you use some new invigorating drug? Was it from the Su Lun school or the Sheng Lun school?"

"There's no such magical potion. I suggest you stop overthinking all the time; maybe you'll be able to sleep more soundly at night."

As usual, Elhesen retorted with a venomous retort.

It's best not to involve Kavi until things are settled.

After all, he had the protection of his position as a clerk, while Kavi was just an architectural designer, whose small frame probably couldn't withstand the storm to come.

I'll just have to make him work harder for a while.

Stepping out of his house and onto the street, Elhesen began to carefully observe the movements of the people in Sumeru City.

Most people looked just as tired as before, unchanged.

It seems that it really wasn't a problem with the ley lines; the only difference was that I removed the Void Terminal.

When they reached a shop, Elhesen heard the voices of several people talking inside, and then he stopped in his tracks.

"By the way, have you heard?"

"What did you hear?"

"That's the one, Green Fang."

The speaker tilted his head slightly, gesturing towards a corner of the room, but the gesture revealed the Void Terminal he was wearing in his left ear.

"Oh, you mean Green Tooth? Hey, I tried it yesterday, and I have to say, it really works."

The person opposite him promptly turned their head and echoed his sentiment.

Green teeth?

Elhesen turned his head slightly to observe the people having a conversation, and happened to see the person turn their head.

After looking them up and down, he finally focused his gaze on the virtual terminals on the ears of the group that were clearly more energetic.

The void terminal, entirely green and faintly glowing... calling it Green Fang evokes a strange sense of familiarity.

It's as if that's how it's supposed to be called.

But... why use "green teeth" to refer to the Void Terminal?

For Elhesen, who had already anticipated the worst-case scenario, it was as obvious as a louse on a bald man's head.

Chapter 261 Pretending to be confused while pretending to understand

It seems the situation is more serious than I imagined.

As he walked toward the Order of the Church, recalling the residents who had used various abstract terms and spoken in a way that left people bewildered, Elhesen thought back to the large-scale purge that had occurred earlier.

The group of people arrested under the pretext of apprehending the traitorous Grand Disciplinary Officer, Senoch, and his associates.

No wonder the 30-person team sent to arrest them suffered heavy losses, but when asked about the specifics, they were simply told they had disappeared.

The entire operation resulted in only three casualties among the thirty-person team, with two others suffering ankle sprains during the operation. However, the number of missing persons and defectors reached over a hundred.

Such figures almost made Asfard, the advisor to the group of thirty, lose confidence.

Is my group of thirty really that unreliable?

In retrospect, it's highly likely that they simply overheard something they shouldn't have, and that's been dealt with.

And those who were arrested are probably the same.

It's just a fabricated charge.

Not long after arriving at the Order of the Church, Elhesen happened to run into the Great Sage Azar.

"Oh my, isn't this Elhesen? I didn't see you this morning. What's wrong? Even the usually diligent clerk slept in?"

Hazard greeted us with a smile, but his eyes kept drifting towards the Void Terminal worn by Elhesen on his left ear.

It doesn't look fake, so why does it show as offline?

What's wrong with the Void?

Or has Elhesen already discovered something?

Hazard squinted slightly.

He must have discovered something, right? Otherwise, why would he suddenly remove the Void Terminal? Elhesen has never done that before.

Moreover, Elhesen has clearly recovered his spirits today.

only……

We just dealt with a high-ranking official, and now a clerk has arrived.

He is a highly respected and respected secretary, and even a strong contender for the next Great Sage. This is a difficult matter to handle.

Hazard was testing Elhesen's strengths and weaknesses.

"I was just delayed by some temporary matters, no need to worry about it. Oh, by the way, Great Sage, I need to go out for a while and need to ask for a few days off to leave Sumeru City."

Hazard stared at Elhesen's Void Terminal, and Elhesen stared back at Hazard's Void Terminal.

It doesn't look fake, so would the Great Sage himself dare to use it with peace of mind?

Or are they also kept in the dark?

"This is not a good idea. The Order of the Fathers is currently facing many difficulties and urgently needs manpower."

“This is a very important matter for me, and I need to handle it personally. I will assign the work to my reliable subordinates.”

Al-Hysen deliberately emphasized the word "reliable" slightly, and then observed Hazard's reaction.

"..."

Hazard didn't reply immediately, but instead looked conflicted. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Alright, since you're in such a hurry and the matter is so important, then you can make arrangements in the void and get it done as soon as possible."

"No need for that. I have some things in the office that I need to go and get. It's not something I can explain in a few words over here, so I'll go and explain everything to avoid any mishaps."

"Alright, I trust you to handle things anyway, so you can make the arrangements."

Hazard simply nodded in agreement after hearing Elhesen's reply, and then walked away.

Al-Hysen continued forward, passing Hazard.

After walking a few steps, the two of them turned around and looked at each other's backs simultaneously, their expressions becoming serious.

[This person is suspicious!] *2.

For Elhesen, the problem lies in the unwarranted emphasis on making arrangements in the void.

Hazard wanted to know if he was still wearing the Void Terminal and continuing to use the Void.

It appears that the Void Terminal does indeed possess certain surveillance capabilities, a fact that should be confirmed by now.

Moreover, Hazard is indeed the one who controls this function, and if there is any conspiracy, Hazard should have an important place in it.

His refusal has essentially exposed his true intentions.

As for Hazard, he realized that Elhesen probably already knew things he shouldn't have known.

However, the two of them tacitly refrained from making it public.

After all, the other party is a great sage/scribe, and even if you tear off the mask, you can't defeat them.

Both of them are pretending not to know what's going on, secretly preparing to make their move.

It's all that Cavajra's fault! What an idiot!

Compared to Elheisen's joy at uncovering the conspiracy and his somber mood at discovering that the BOSS was stronger than expected, Azar's side was full of complaints.

In Hazard's view, if Kavaja hadn't leaked the information, none of this would have happened, and he wouldn't be in such a passive position now.

Ehrlich's move was nothing more than to verify his conjecture and to establish his authority over him.

Hazard's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being impolite!

Immediately, Hazard pulled out his real Void Terminal and sent a communication to the Doctor.

We need to get the Fools to deal with Elhesen urgently.

Meanwhile, the Doctor, who was overseeing the construction of the God of Machines, received a request for assistance from Hazard.

Compared to before, the doctor seemed somewhat hesitant and restrained.

The main reason was that some time ago, when Inazuma retaliated against Sumeru's action of closing the embassy, ​​he was originally prepared for the other party to make things difficult for the religious council.

In the end, Inazuma did nothing but retaliate in kind, closing the embassy in Sumeru and expelling the diplomats, and that was all.
