Chapter 203 The Day the Moon and You Disappeared (Part 1)
Under the joint efforts of the disciplinary officer, the forest ranger, and the thirty-man squad, the unrest in the city was quelled at an extremely fast pace.
The news of the downfall of the Great Sage Azar was posted on the bulletin board next to the Adventurers' Guild. The sage's crimes were exposed one by one, and Azar's followers scattered like birds and beasts overnight.
However, the prerequisite is that the birds and beasts must be able to escape faster than the Grand Disciplinary Officer's lightning.
In fact, it was only after the disciplinary officers apprehended all the accomplices that they discovered a serious problem.
Apart from his personal guards and the philosopher Kavaja, this former great sage, Mr. Azhar, was actually not much different from the Lonely One.
As for why this happened, we have to ask a certain unsung hero who was hiding behind the scenes, but had secretly infiltrated almost the entire Order of the Church into a sieve.
Even the leader of Hazard's secret guards had already chosen to betray him the moment his family escaped the sage's control.
The disciplinary officers looked at the once high and mighty sage in the prison with a hint of pity in their eyes.
It's so tragic. Not only is he being sidelined by his own students, but it seems like almost everyone is just playing him.
"Hey, you idiot, how did you do that?"
Seno held up the Staff of Crimson Sand, looked at the prisoners in front of him who couldn't even fill one level of the prison, and sighed, rubbing his forehead.
I originally thought that the other party, who was infiltrated into the Order of the Fathers, must be living in constant fear and uncertainty. I never expected that the camp that Azar had painstakingly built would almost be under the Mu family name in just a few years.
No wonder he had never won against this cunning guy in the Seven Saints Summoning battle; Seno was truly impressed.
Is his only advantage his sense of humor?
Well, actually it's because I looked at the cards beforehand.
Mu Feng gave an awkward smile and guiltily looked away.
As for Hazard, his subordinates were all traitors who couldn't withstand any tests. Their unwavering will and tight organization were comparable to the distillery in his previous life.
"In short, having less work is a good thing, at least you won't miss the celebration banquet tonight."
……
In the afternoon, it was time for the inaugural speech of Mu Feng, the new Great Sage personally selected by the Grass God.
In short, someone's lengthy speech can be summarized into the following two points:
Uh... it's true, the following two points.
The first point is naturally about the future development plan of Sumeru, such as establishing schools in the desert, standardizing the usage rights of the Void Terminal, and revitalizing the academic atmosphere of the Academy of Teachings, etc.
The second point is relatively simple. Since the newly appointed Great Sage still has important matters to attend to, all the above matters have been entrusted to the newly selected Acting Sage.
What? You're asking who the proxy sage is?
Elhesen remained expressionless, but the surrounding crowd visibly and involuntarily took a step back, trembling.
Yes, he really wants to know who it is.
So much so that before nightfall, rumors circulated in the city that the acting sage and the great sage had clashed and fought.
But putting these minor hiccups aside, everything is getting back on track, and it's time to celebrate.
The Lambad Tavern was brightly lit at night.
"cheers!"
Five wine glasses clinked together, the full liquid swirling inside, before being drunk down in a burst of laughter.
"So, Tinari, are you planning to come back?"
Kavi gulped down a large glass of wine and patted Tinari on the shoulder with great interest.
He'd finally gotten to drink at someone's expense in his lifetime, so he figured he might as well drink it today; it was a bonus, and he was determined to make a name for himself at the Lambad Tavern tonight!
Tina smiled helplessly and finished the rest of the wine in her cup.
"No, thank you. Although my teacher has returned to serve as a sage and has extended an invitation to me for academic collaboration."
"However, after spending so much time in Daocheng Forest, perhaps a freer profession like a forest ranger suits me better."
Upon hearing this, Seno suddenly looked up, placed his wine glass on the table, and interjected sharply:
"So do you know why Seno got injured when he hit Tinari?"
"Because it hit the reflex arc (reflex fox)."
The strong liquor on the table had frozen solid. The four men silently turned away, each finding an excuse to hurry up and leave.
"Huh? What did you say? The star mushrooms in Daocheng Forest are about to hatch! I'm going back right now!"
"What? Star Fungus is about to give birth? What a miracle! Such a big thing and they didn't even tell me! I want to go see it too."
"Count me in, I'll go too."
Sino's lips curled up. Sure enough, these people felt inferior because of his superior sense of humor.
It's okay, he won't point it out.
Mr. Dafeng hummed a song as he walked toward the lively Seven Saints Summoning Card Table.
It is time for the Seven Saints to be summoned.
Soon, the sounds of elemental dice colliding and cards slapping against the table echoed from the corner.
"Brother Mufeng, tomorrow is the belated Flower Goddess Festival for the Little Grass God. You must come and watch my Flower Goddess Dance!"
A refreshing scent of Patti Sharan quietly approached from behind, followed by a sudden, full embrace from the young girl.
Including the nearly ten-day separation in her dreams, plus the anxiety during the Flower Goddess's birthday festival, the little dancer's deep longing was almost tangible.
In her dream, the fear of her closest loved one suddenly disappearing remained vividly etched in her memory, lingering for a long time.
Even if it was just a dream, she never wanted to experience that moment of panic and helplessness again.
"Okay, I'm looking forward to it."
Mu Feng smiled and gently pulled Nilu into his arms, tenderly smoothing her long hair that was draped behind her.
The young dancer shyly buried her burning face in Mu Feng's embrace, quietly listening to the boy's heartbeat, her large, light blue eyes filled with a happy smile.
Don't go, just stay here... that's fine.
She never cared whether someone was a genius or an ordinary person, nor whether they were poor or rich; she never wanted much.
As long as the person she loves is safe and sound by her side, that's enough.
Dina Zede, who had just returned to her private room at the tavern, pushed open the door and immediately puffed up her cheeks in a huff.
She just went out to get some juice, how come someone stole some again!
You can't always guard against your best friend, Nilu is wicked! She's really going to get angry!
Seemingly sensing her best friend's resentful gaze, the shy little dancer was the first to raise the white flag and surrender, reluctantly giving up her place for a hug.
It seems like I've been hugging him for a bit too long, hehe.
Meanwhile, Dixia, who was happily drinking a large glass of strong liquor, was a little dumbfounded. Noticing the envious and jealous gazes coming from all directions, she shook her head helplessly.
Seriously, it seems that some womanizer has stolen all the limelight tonight.
