Xumi City, the Teaching Palace, and the Palace of Wisdom.

After saying these words, the scholar named Elhaysen provided some more information about the Great Sage, then put down the book and left.

He reads here every day. It took a long time today, but apparently there is a reason.

In his words, he worked until early in the morning today, and he had already worked overtime beyond his quota. He had to go back to catch up on his sleep. Otherwise, his next actions would cause him to lose energy, and it might affect more things.

Ning Yu agreed with this, it was like meeting a confidant.

But he felt that Elhaysen should have more in common with Ningzhe than him. It's just a pity that Ningzhe hasn't come yet, or that he has come but never showed up. In short, he is the only one who has to do things now.

When he learned that Dadalia was not far away at the moment, Ning Yu made a decision immediately.

He had to go talk to this guy who was a wanted criminal in all countries.

Ning Yu believes that no matter how reckless Dadalia is, he should not take action in public under such circumstances... Ning Yu is at least 50% sure, but of course the remaining 50% is really not enough

The determining factor, after all, that guy wanted to have a serious fight every time he saw him.

So under this situation, Ning Yu carefully hid the sword and then boarded the upward passage.

But as soon as he arrived here, Ning Yu was stunned.

Not because there are many people here, but because the person standing here is not Dadalia, but another person.

"Ha... Liyue people, after escaping from the dreamland, can't they wait to find the great sage?"

On the desk belonging to the sage, the man wearing a silver mask chuckled.

"Who are you......"

"Don't you recognize me? Hehe, it seems that there were too many [Slices] sent out, and this posture was actually forgotten." He stretched out his hand and tapped the table gently, again and again, as if he was tapping on the ground.

In Ning Yu's heart, a silent sense of oppression came over him like a tide.

"Slice...I know you, the Executive Officer of the Fools [Doctor]."

Ning Yu reacted very quickly. Even though he had never seen this man's appearance, he still judged the man's true identity through the details.

The second seat of the Executive Officer of Fools——[Doctor]!

According to intelligence, he is one of the most dangerous figures among the Fools' executive officers, and his threat to Liyue Port is second only to the first and ninth seats [Rich Man] Pantalone. He is the ultimate genius, and

The craziest lunatic, he can unscrupulously sacrifice ordinary people for his own selfish desires, and he can also ruin the lives of countless people just for his whim...

There is no doubt that he is a human being, but to [human beings], he doesn't quite look like a human being.

He seemed to have entered a higher dimension and always viewed the world from a bird's eye view.

Such people... are very dangerous.

"Oh? It looks like he's not too stupid."

The executive named [Doctor] didn't seem to care about Ning Yu's expression at all. He just chuckled, put away his hand, stood up, and looked at Ning Yu.

"Because of certain things, I went to observe your Liyue Port a few days ago. I found that a toy of mine fell into your country, and it seemed that it... fell into your [home]."

"I heard that you Liyue people know etiquette and propriety. So, if someone loses something, do you think the lost thing should be returned to its owner?"

"What? I have no idea what you are talking about."

Ning Yu remained calm. He really had no impression of this [Doctor], let alone anything belonging to him.

As for the [home] he mentioned...

Did [Doctor] leave something behind at Yunhai Bookstore?

"Haha... don't be so vigilant. I won't take action against you, and there is no need to take action against you."

[Doctor]'s attitude was unexpectedly calm. He restrained all his hostility, and even the vague oppression was put away by him.

He even waved his hand, his tone sounding a little helpless: "To be honest, I didn't expect that it would be you, Liyue native, who would appear here at this moment."

"I didn't expect you to be here either." Ning Yu also added.

"Haha...Who do you think it is? My other colleague, Dadalia who likes to fight?"

"maybe."

Ning Yu was noncommittal.

"If it's him, then you will be disappointed. I know that he has traveled with you and the Seven Stars' brother, and your relationship is pretty good... But in front of the Queen, I

I believe Dadalia will take action without hesitation."

[Doctor] said with a smile.

"Take action?"

Ning Yu frowned slightly.

"Haha...that's right, that's right."

[Doctor] stretched out his hand and pointed to the west of the teaching academy. His sight seemed to have crossed the mountains and reached another land in Sumeru.

To the west of Sumeru is the desert.

Dadalia is in the desert right now? What is he doing in the desert? Do all the fools have plans for that kind of place?

"As you guessed, Dadalia is indeed in the desert. Do you want to know what he went there for?" [Doctor] seemed to be interested and looked at Ning Yu with interest.

"..."

Ning Yu didn't reply. Of course he didn't know what Dadalia was doing in the desert. He didn't even know that Dadalia had come to Xumi half an hour ago.

"Don't you know? Oh, that's right. After all, you have just arrived in Xumi. It is normal for you to be unclear about some things."

[Doctor] didn't care about Ning Yu's silence. He just said slowly: "Did you know that the great sage's status in the Teaching Council is second to none? He can be the first to publish academic research, and can also issue various bans. In a certain

To this extent, he is equivalent to the uncrowned king of Sumeru."

"But do you know why no one has ever said that the Great Sage is the king of Sumeru, or the ruler of Sumeru?"

"Because there is a force behind the sages of the Order Academy. They have the power to supervise all scholars... Even the great sages will only be able to speak out if they are caught with the opportunity.

Lost power once."

"And the leader of that force, the [Great Wind Disciplinary] who is respected and feared by everyone in Xumi City, is a desert man named Seno... Coincidentally, he has been executing people in the desert recently.

"

"Where is that place? Let me think about it...oh, it should be a place called Aru Village."

"You are going to take action against the Disciplinary Officer?!" Ning Yu was shocked. Shouldn't this kind of information be secret? Why should he be told to an outsider at this time?

Although he doesn't know much about Xumi, he also knows the value of the Disciplinary Officer. Now that the fools want to attack the Discipline Officer, is it possible that they want to do their best to protect the great sage and become the true ruler of Xumi?

this......

"hehe....."

[Doctor] smiled again, but this time, the interest on his face disappeared.

"Let's go, Liyue people." He said, "I won't do anything to you. On the contrary, I look forward to what you can do."

"...Why?"

Ning Yu frowned, he really couldn't understand.

No matter from a standpoint or personally, the Fools and him are enemies. Why is the other party still expecting something?

Could it be...

The cooperation between the Fools and the Order is not as peaceful as it seems, but there is something necessary that binds the two forces together.
