Chapter 401
Originally, he had guessed whether the content inside was a prophecy of the future,
but now Azar extinguished that thought.
In his view, this must be someone else's conspiracy!
What "saving the Irminsul"?
What "colluding with the Fatui"?
The ultimate goal was simply to make him release the Lesser Lord Kusanali!
This point was something the Scribe Alhaitham had once done in the recorded video!
By swapping the Knowledge Capsules, he had managed to change the Akasha's instructions.
He even created the illusion of releasing the Lesser Lord Kusanali!
Now, this recorded video was likely a similar tactic!
"That's right, it must be exactly that!"
Azar felt he had discovered the truth!
However, he was actually grateful to the person who posted the video.
They had provided him with a very good idea!
Humans creating gods?
Not bad!
After casting a subtle glance at Alhaitham and Cyno in the corner, Azar said to the guards:
"Let's go, let's go out and take a look!"
"Yes, Lord Azar!"
As Azar and the guards left, the scholars of the Akademiya hurriedly followed.
They were also curious about the situation outside.
In the corner, Alhaitham and Cyno each leaned against the wall, watching silently.
A moment later, Cyno said in a deep voice:
"Azar noticed us; he must have an idea now."
Cyno didn't say what the idea was, but Alhaitham understood.
It was likely the same as what was shown in the recorded video.
But Alhaitham didn't care in the slightest.
"Whether Azar and the others can survive today is still an unknown."
"Let's go out and see."
"Mm!"
Cyno nodded.
Subsequently, the two of them also followed them out.
Outside the Akademiya.
Because of Sumeru's unique geographical structure, combined with the Akademiya's high elevation,
only a small portion of the Sumeru populace could actually make it here.
But even so, they had occupied the platform in front of the Akademiya.
At this moment, led by Nilou and Dunyarzad, the crowd was full of momentum.
Facing the guards blocking them, they began to clamor.
"Damn it! Hurry up and make the people from the Akademiya come out!"
"Your Akademiya really isn't human. Such a cute and great god as the Lesser Lord Kusanali, and you actually imprisoned her for five hundred years? Are you even human?"
"Imprisoning the God of Wisdom, and you still have the nerve to call yourselves the nation of wisdom?"
"You've lost face even abroad!"
"Hurry up and release the Lesser Lord Kusanali!"
"..."
Looking at the bottomless sea of Sumeru citizens before them, the guards swallowed nervously one by one.
They didn't dare to step aside.
They could only pray silently in their hearts for the Grand Sage and the others to come out quickly.
At this moment,
Clatter~
Accompanied by the sound of a door opening, Azar and the scholars of the Akademiya finally walked out.
Looking at the dense crowd below, many of them changed color.
Most of them were just scholars with no strength to truss a chicken; where had they ever seen such a scene?
Not every scholar was a powerhouse like Alhaitham!
"So many people?"
Azar frowned again.
But he was the Grand Sage, after all.
Although he felt it was a bit troublesome, he wasn't as panicked as the other scholars.
"Contact the Eremites and have them come over to clear the siege!"
Azar said in a deep voice to the guard beside him.
"We have already sent word."
The guard said hurriedly.
As the words fell, a guard rushed over.
"Lord Azar, Mr. Asfard says he is ill and cannot move for the time being!"
"This guy!"
Hearing this, Azar was full of rage.
What illness?
How could he not know the situation!
Either the money wasn't enough!
Or they didn't want to cooperate with the Akademiya anymore!
Thinking of his past bossiness toward the Eremites, Azar felt the latter was more likely.
But without the help of the Eremites, they couldn't solve the difficulty before them at all.
Thinking of this, Azar's face turned ugly.
Seeing the crowd's momentum growing, Azar's gaze turned to the two people leaning against the wall in the distance.
"Scribe Alhaitham, General Mahamatra Cyno, the Akademiya needs your help."
"Sorry, Lord Azar, I am just a weak scholar."
Alhaitham said with his arms crossed.
Although he was a person of the Akademiya, it was impossible for him to stand on the Akademiya's side.
If what was in the video was the truth of the future,
then solving it now was undoubtedly a good thing!
It could prevent Sumeru from falling into turmoil.
He didn't want Sumeru to become chaotic.
"My duty is to stop prohibited research and maintain the discipline of the Akademiya."
"This is not within my scope."
Cyno said without even lifting his head.
After a pause, he looked at Azar and the group of scholars from the Akademiya.
"Before today, I had never heard the name of the Lesser Lord Kusanali."
"She seemed to be a god who didn't exist!"
"But looking at it now, this is the result of your deliberate guidance."
"In fact, the god has always been by our side!"
Feeling Cyno's gaze and hearing his words, everyone in the Akademiya couldn't help but look ugly. ===== CHAPTER 403 =====
