"Nothing, just one or two chores. We happened to be at the same destination so we did them together." Seno responded simply, his wolf-like eyes observing everything around him, the neatly arranged houses, the unprecedented building materials - even more surprising was that the environment here had completely changed.
The orderly planted date palms hold the sand together, and it doesn't feel soft like other places when you step on it, but more like loose soil. Grass sprouts have already sprouted in some places. I believe that in time this area will become a grassland, which is really amazing.
Seno didn't know much about the research in the field of vitalism, but just by looking at the surface, he could feel how incredible it was - this was turning a desert into an oasis!
He suddenly became more interested in this so-called "Red King's Envoy".
He came here with two missions this time. One was to confirm whether the news that the so-called genius of the Order of the Gods a hundred years ago had reappeared was true. The second was to find out the truth about the murder case that occurred in Kawanyi.
According to his inquiries and investigations along the way, the two targets should have entered here.
Just as Seno was thinking this, he saw a group of people appearing openly not far away. Among them... was Singh, the man he was chasing, who was called "Brother Tiger".
"Boom!" In just a moment, he changed from walking to sprinting with a spear. Seno turned into a purple shadow and rushed towards Singer like a ray of light. However, before the light got close, it was stopped by a gust of wind.
It was Amber. Flames were still burning on her one-handed sword. It was obvious that she had just triggered the overload reaction and used the huge repulsive force generated by the explosion to push Seno away.
"Disciplinary officer, you shouldn't launch an attack here and now." Amber glanced around, which immediately attracted a lot of people, even the tribesmen who were originally listening to storytelling in the library during their lunch break were attracted here.
The second leader of the traveling clan who joined the Chi Nian clan heard many stories and was very good at telling them. This became a rare pastime for those who were interested in it, and they would usually listen to them during their free time at noon and in the evening.
——This also includes children, so Amber hid the flame on the blade and signaled the adults around to protect the children.
"..." Seno also noticed the presence of those children and quickly put away his weapons. This so-called Singer was no ordinary criminal. He was killing people blatantly. The supervisor suffered a moderate concussion and was recuperating, while the businessman died on the spot after his neck was chopped off by a sharp weapon.
With such brutal means, the murderer is most likely a ruthless person. When Seno saw Singer showing up in a swagger, his first thought was to subdue him to avoid any further trouble.
But now... things have become more subtle. First, someone he didn't know tried to stop him, and then the murderer didn't even dodge when he saw him, as if he had no fear of the coming death at all.
Seeing that the other party had put away their weapons, Amber also sheathed the sharp blade in his hand. The tribesmen around him looked at this place nervously, which made Seno feel a little at a loss.
That was naked hostility... but it wasn't the other party's fault. It was because of his own inconsideration. This was the first time that Seno had carried out a solo mission since becoming the Grand Disciplinary Officer. In the past, he always went with his seniors, but this time, probably to train him, his seniors asked him to come alone to carry out the mission.
"Don't be so nervous, don't be so nervous. There's nothing wrong here. This person is a martial arts fanatic I know. He probably saw the extraordinary Lord Divine Envoy and wanted to spar with him."
It was Hart. He came out to smooth things over, which greatly eased the atmosphere. Seeing this, Seno accepted the identity fabricated by Hart and apologized.
"Sorry... I was a little too excited." Seno's calm look was completely unlike the excited expression of an ordinary person, but this might be more in line with the so-called "mysterious" image. Although the Chi Nian people still gathered here for a while, the hostility in their eyes was no longer so deep.
"Everyone, please disperse. I have something important to discuss with this guest."
Finally, it was Amber who spoke up and settled the situation. Following Amber's glance, Yi, who had climbed up the watchtower not far away and had drawn his bow and aimed at this place at the time of the incident, also retracted his arrow.
Seeing that their leader had expressed his stance, the members of the Chi Nian clan stopped disturbing him. Some of the more vigilant people glared at Seno fiercely before leaving, as if to warn him.
"this……"
"Just call me Senor. I'm here to confirm the news of Falushan's reappearance, and to apprehend the murderer, Singh."
Hearing what Seno said, Amber said to herself, "As expected."
What is coming will come, and even gods cannot stop it. Amber glanced at Singer who looked calm and sighed silently.
"Then, Grand Disciplinary Officer Senor, please follow me."
Chapter 41: Debate
Several people walked towards the conference room together. During the walk, Falushan frequently glanced at Seno, but Seno's full attention was on Singer.
Singer followed Amber calmly. He looked at the date palm tree that he loved very much. It was the date palm tree that Gabriel had planted when he was training himself to control the grass element. The tree had a large crown and could provide a large area of shade. Sitting on the ground leaning against the tree was a rare time when Singer could truly feel "comfortable".
"Freedom" and "comfort", these two words have been away from Singer for too long, and he has almost forgotten these two feelings. Fortunately, he has now caught their tails.
"Huh..." Singer took a deep breath. The only regret was that he couldn't savor this hard-earned time a little longer.
Compared to the calm Singer, Farusan was much more anxious. She stared at Seno who was following Singer closely, as if she wanted to see through him and see the current situation of the entire Ordinance House from this so-called great disciplinary officer.
Facts have proved... she doesn't have this kind of talent. No matter how wide she opens her eyes and how carefully she observes, she can't see anything after all. Even the attention of this disciplinary officer is not on her.
Amber pushed open the door of the conference room. She had been trying to sense Seno's emotions along the way, but it was difficult to tell. After all, sensing emotions is not mind reading and has its shortcomings. The only thing that can be confirmed is that Seno has no hostility towards anyone other than Singer.
Several people sat in silence around the long table, and no one spoke. Seno finally looked at Singer with a warning look, and turned his gaze to Falushan - the prisoner Singer had no intention of escaping, so it would be better to solve Falushan's problem first.
"Stare--" Farusan didn't say anything. She just stared at Seno, but couldn't see anything in those calm eyes. In the end, she could only grit her teeth in annoyance.
"..." Seno clearly felt Falusan's hostility towards him. He had no intention of finding out the reason, nor did he intend to bring bad luck to Falusan. He simply used the void device in silence.
It was a lightweight device hanging on Seno's right ear. The green light reminded people of vitality, vigor and wisdom. As Seno closed his eyes slightly, the light of the void device became brighter. In just a moment, information related to Falusan was transmitted to Seno's brain, including Falusan's habits, appearance, achievements, life experiences, etc.
"Falusan, a rare genius in the Zhilun School, made outstanding contributions to the study of ancient characters found in ruins. She disappeared during a ruins survey. Five years later, her file was classified as missing, and five years after that, it was listed as an accidental death."
Seno recounted the information he had found out one by one. It was obvious that this information was obtained through the so-called void device. Amber observed the void device and thought to herself that it was not unexpected.
The void is indeed so magical and so convenient, forming a huge gap with the current backward state of the desert - such a gap made Amber feel powerless for a moment.
"It is indeed the rule of the House of Commons that people will be listed as missing after five years of disappearance, and as dead after ten years..." Farusan confirmed Seno's information. Although Farusan was rather disappointed with the current House of Commons, she still had to go back and take a look. She couldn't afford to be petty when it came to matters concerning her identity.
Falushan also noticed the current void device, and she had to admit its exquisiteness for a moment. A hundred years ago, this thing was still very immature and put too much burden on the human brain. She felt dizzy after just trying it for a short while. Now it is not only popular, but can also be worn 24 hours a day. Obviously, it is no longer the same as a hundred years ago.
Seno felt a deep sense of regret when he inquired about Falusan's information through the void device. This proves that people who knew about Falusan's information felt a deep sense of regret for the disappearance of this genius. The knowledge in the void did not exist from the beginning. Using the void terminal may give you knowledge. In essence, one of the situations is to inquire with "another person wearing a void terminal". If someone knows it, then this knowledge will be transmitted to the questioner through the void terminal.
The other one involves the utility of the void itself. The void can also be used to store knowledge, just like a non-physical library. People can transfer knowledge to the void in a specific way to achieve the purpose of storage. Therefore, the day for regularly transmitting knowledge to the void is designated as "Knowledge Storage Day".
As more and more knowledge is stored in it, there will be more and more cases of obtaining knowledge directly from the void.
Of course, the void does not always respond. It will determine whether the questioner has the "authority" to know certain knowledge. As for the principle of this judgment, few people know.
"...After comparing the portraits, the similarity is over 90%. Combined with your explanation, it can be basically confirmed that you are Falusan herself."
Seno's efficiency was surprisingly fast. After questioning with Falushan for a while, he had completed the preliminary confirmation. Although it was hard to imagine being trapped in the ruins for a hundred years and the growth of the power in the ruins being stagnant, the power in the ruins was complicated and no one could say whether a similar thing would happen.
"Since, as you say, you were affected by the Red King Ruins, then upon returning to the Ordinance House, in addition to further identity verification, you will also need to cooperate with the 'contamination' inspection."
"I understand." Falushan nodded. Some things in the Ministry of Education have changed, while some things have not changed, such as the processes. Scholars like her who often go in and out of ruins for research have had a lot of dealings with the so-called "pollution assessment."
——After all, some of the knowledge here does have an impact on people's spirit, and these countermeasures are inevitable.
"Then, the next thing is the matters related to the murder case." Seno looked at Singer who was still looking at him calmly, and there was a hint of awe and determination in his words.
As a high-ranking disciplinary officer, Seno has his own persistence, which is to never tolerate evil and to uphold the teachings with all his might.
There is no order without rules. Human nature cannot stand the test. The so-called "order" is built on "rules", and the job of these disciplinary officers is to maintain these "rules" in order to protect the "order" above them.
When rules are no longer rules, the collapse of order will happen in an instant.
"Heh, you disciplinary officers are quite efficient in handling crimes related to the People of Sand." There was no fear of the coming trial in Singh's eyes, and his words were full of sarcasm.
"As the Grand Disciplinary Officer, I will give you the judgment you deserve, you evildoer who has no reverence for the religious decrees." Seno leaned forward slightly. Although he was much shorter than Singer, he exuded a strong sense of majesty.
"Yoho? I wonder if the 'decree' mentioned by this so-called great disciplinary officer can protect the people of the sand?" Singh clenched his fists suddenly, his eyes showing no sign of weakness, like a strong tiger.
"Disciplinary officer, watch your words and actions and don't be rude here." Amber looked at Seno with sharp eyes, interrupting the confrontation between the two.
"And you, Singer, this is not the place for you to fight."
"..." Both Seno and Singer fell into silence for a moment. They had indeed forgotten the occasion. Now that he had calmed down, Seno could not help but recall Singer's words. He keenly sensed the scent of "other hidden secrets" from them.
"Brother Hu! Are you okay?!" A voice interrupted the silent atmosphere. It was A Luo. He pushed open the door with a cane. His words were full of concern and a little uneasiness.
The eyes of everyone present were all focused on A Luo at once. Seno's pupils narrowed subconsciously, while Singer quickly walked to A Luo and supported him.
"You are the Sand People from before. What's going on? Do you know Singer?" It was Seno who spoke. His voice caught A Luo's attention. A Luo looked at Seno. The familiar white-haired disciplinary officer instantly brought him back to an afternoon two or three years ago.
"Yes, yes, it's you!" A Luo became excited for a moment. With the help of Singer, he sat on the chair and looked at Seno excitedly.
"Brother Hu! This is the disciplinary officer who saved my life! The one I told you about before!"
"..." In the face of A Luo's words, Singh remained silent, and no one present spoke. Even A Luo noticed that the atmosphere was wrong.
"Wait...you...are you here to catch Brother Hu?" A Luo's eyes trembled a little. He looked at Senuo, but Senuo just closed his eyes and said nothing, which was equivalent to his consent.
"This...this is a misunderstanding! That businessman is a villain! Brother Tiger only saved me--!"
"Don't say anything, A'Luo." Singer interrupted A'Luo, "I did kill that piece of shit to pay Kan Ruiba. This matter has nothing to do with you, so don't get involved!"
As he spoke, Singh turned his gaze to Seno: "Seno, the disciplinary officer, right? This matter has absolutely nothing to do with A Luo. He's just an unlucky guy!"
"..." Seno watched the argument between the two men silently. He remained calm. According to the information he received, there were two people who escaped, the old worker Singh and the new worker A Luo. He just felt that the name was familiar at the time, and only confirmed it after seeing their appearance. It turned out to be the special Sand People he met before.
That kind of person doesn't seem like someone who would commit a crime, but even Seno has to admit that people change and he can't see through people's hearts. But what is revealed now is definitely hiding something.
"It's useless to keep arguing like this. I suggest you just have a good talk." It was Ah Ji who spoke, putting an end to the chaotic scene.
"That's exactly what happened. I won't completely trust any of your statements. As the Chief Disciplinary Officer, I will render the most impartial judgment possible." Senor looked at Singh. "I will consider each of your responses and decide on my next steps."
"Oh, this is really novel." Singer's words still contained a hint of sarcasm. "The disciplinary officer now has the nerve to call himself 'impartial'."
"Okay, then let me tell you what your disciplinary officers did."
Chapter 42: Farewell
"Don't you need to prepare something else?"
In the room, Amber looked at Falusan who had only the most basic things with her, and there was a hint of melancholy in her voice.
"No need. I've troubled you enough during this period of time. These things are enough." Farusan's tone was calm. She suppressed her confusion about the future in her heart and put on a backpack filled with thick clothes, including a dictionary that she took away as a souvenir.
"What a pity! If you could stay, I would have a knowledgeable teacher~" Amber deliberately used a frivolous tone to ease the atmosphere between the two. Amber did not expect that this would be the case on this day. Farusan felt confused and uneasy about her trip to the Academy of Deputies after a hundred years of absence, and Amber was more or less reluctant to leave, which contributed to the rather strange atmosphere.
Amber thought she had gotten used to separation, but now she still feels quite touched. Sure enough, some things are hard to get used to.
"No need to compliment me. You don't lack professional teachers like me. What you lack are teachers who can provide basic education." Falushan looked at the design drawings of the water pump and the specific implementation plan of the sprinkler system on the table, and couldn't help recalling the wonderful life she had in the past few days.
Here she saw so many novel things, and more importantly, she learned that there was actually a strange person like Amber in the world. Just as Amber regretted that Falusan could not stay, Falusan also regretted that Amber could not enter the Church of God.
In that case, the sage of the new school of life theory or the school of vegetarianism must be Amber.
But this way, it's not as legendary as it is now? It doesn't quite match Amber's amazing goal.
Falushan knew Amber's goal, so she respected Amber's decision. At first, she wanted to persuade Amber to come to the Academy to study, but later she realized that she was too narrow-minded.
Changing the desert... that's amazing.
"Of course I'm lacking everything. I need to focus on basic education, higher education, and professional education, which is the most important. Ah, when I think about it, I still have a long way to go."
"Come on, if you really intend to solve all these problems by yourself, you won't ask me those questions." Falushan gave Amber a cold look. This is actually Amber's advantage. She has a clear understanding of her abilities. Although she sometimes falls into the trap of fallacy, she can quickly figure it out and make corrections.
For example, now, Amber knows that she cannot build a complete education system by herself. It is already commendable to be able to build a basic education system. She has her own limits.
Thus, the plan of "bringing advanced knowledge back to the desert" came into being.
"Then Teacher Falusan, are you willing to agree to my request?" Amber took one of Falusan's hands, leaned forward slightly and looked at Falusan. This look made Falusan stunned for a moment, and even Aji who was watching on the side widened his eyes.
——She doesn’t remember that Amber can be seductive!
"Great! You stole my skills!" Ah Ji protested dissatisfiedly, but was ignored by the two tacitly. Only then did Falushan react. She looked at Amber, who had never shown such an expression before, and felt a little subtly shy for a moment.
Amber's gem-like eyes radiated a soft light, her short black hair complemented her heroic face, and her perfect smile made her even more beautiful. For a moment, she really looked like the knight holding the princess's hand.
"...You're so disrespectful!" Falushan pulled her hand back, but she couldn't hide the slight blush on her face. She had indeed taught Amber a lot during this period, so it was reasonable for her to be called a teacher, but - how could a student treat a teacher like this! She was over a hundred years old now!
"...In short, I agree to that matter, but I can't guarantee that I will still have the same influence as I did a hundred years ago after returning to the House of Lords." Falusan adjusted her expression and responded formally.
"Then I would like to thank Teacher Falushan." Amber deliberately made her tone sound soft and confident, like a graceful young man. Falushan, who had already composed her expression, rolled her eyes at Amber, but Amber felt that her heartbeat did speed up for a moment.
Farusan pushed open the door and walked outside, where Seno and Singh were standing, having obviously been waiting for some time.
Falushan's eyes had softened when she looked at Seno. Because of Seno's previous promise, she had some hope for the current House of Ecclesiastical Orders again.
Seno had listened carefully to Singh's story and responded seriously to his opinion on the matter as the Grand Disciplinary Officer of the Faithful Court: He originally thought it was a small thief, but it turned out to be a big fish. He swore on his medal of Grand Disciplinary Officer that he would definitely investigate the matter thoroughly.
Amber can confirm that what Seno said is not false. In Seno's eyes there is an absolute pursuit of justice and no tolerance for evil. This attitude makes him trustworthy. This promise is also the reason why Amber and Falusan are so relaxed now.
"Are you here? Then let's go." It was already past noon and the temperature was not that high. It was a good time to set off.
"Well, let's go."
Singer followed behind Seno silently, and at the back was Falushan. Singer looked at the white-haired figure in front of him who was much shorter than him, and couldn't help but recall the promise he made an hour ago.
Giving justice to the people of the sand was something Singh had never dared to think about before. He had been trapped in Kawanyi for too long, and all he saw was the scenery on the other side of Kawanyi. He was like a frog in a well looking at the sky from the bottom of the well. This small world was everything to him, and it also shaped his cognition.
This was Singh's "limitation", but now it was broken. First, A Luo gave himself a rope, and then it was Seno, who pulled the other end of the rope and tried to pull himself up.
