In Sumeru, pretend to be a scholar

Wang Yan also spotted a familiar figure.

"Sino!"

Wang Yan shouted.

Beside the remains of the Holy Relic Red Eagle, the Grand Wind Official heard Wang Yan's shout, turned around, and nodded to Wang Yan.

Wang Yan quickly disembarked and went to Seno's side: "What are you doing here?"

Seno replied, "It's the same case as before. I found out that those people probably came from the desert, so I came to the desert to investigate."

“The Order’s management of the deep desert is relatively lax, so the Grand Wind Commissioner asked us for help,” a female scholar said next to Seno.

Seno introduced, "This is Soshi, a member of the sophistry team, who is responsible for assisting my investigation."

Perhaps because Soshi was present, Seno refrained from making any lame jokes and maintained a serious demeanor.

After a pause, Seno continued, "Some desert people reported that the spaceship shot down a huge Sacred Remains Red Falcon. I happened to be investigating this area, so I came to take a look."

Wang Yan suddenly realized: "I see. Perfect, I shot down this Sacred Remains Red Falcon. You guys have a way to get it. It's very valuable for research. It would be a waste if it rotted in the wild."

“I can get other members of the Order to come and help. The corpses of these super monsters don’t decompose that quickly. As long as we spend money to find more people, we can still dominate!” Soshi from the Order said.

Professional matters should be left to professionals. Wang Yan certainly doesn't know as much about the desert as this scholar, Soxi.

So Wang Yan nodded: "How much BIM do you need to send the items to my mentor, Falushan?"

Wang Yan planned to hand the items over to Falushan and then have her find Tinali or Dr. Zakaria from the Health Home to handle them.

He only knew these two scholars of the theory of life, and they were both kind-hearted people. Wang Yan believed that they would not mistreat him if he entrusted the matter to them.

Of course, if Erossan has the means to handle it, Wang Yan will not refuse.

"Do we need to leave the desert and enter the rainforest? That might cost a little more, but the most crucial point is... once the remains of the Holy Red Falcon enter the rainforest, the surrounding humidity will rise, and without preservation methods, it might decompose more quickly," Soshi said.

In the desert, the air is dry and the temperature is high, so the body dries easily and does not decompose easily.

But once you enter the rainforest, the situation will definitely be different.

The humidity in the Sumeru rainforest is much higher than that in the desert. Once things enter the rainforest, the temperature is suitable and the humidity is high. In addition, over time, the elemental power in the corpse will be completely depleted, which will definitely breed bacteria and cause decay.

However, this was not a problem for Wang Yan. He looked at Dolly, who was still drooling over the Red Eagle materials, and asked, "Have you taken everything apart?"

Dolly snapped out of her daze and nodded: "We dismantled everything that could while preserving the best possible wreckage."

"Alright, everyone, move away." Wang Yan said to the people around him.

The men didn't know what he was going to do, but they obediently backed away.

Although the others were also confused, seeing how obedient their men were, they also began to back away.

After everyone around had retreated, Wang Yan reached out and summoned the "Seventy-Two Xuanming" swords, which flew out and hovered beside him.

"(Angelic language) Fire element stripped away."

Wang Yan reached out and gently touched it, and a large number of fire element runes appeared on the "Seventy-Two Cyclone Brightness".

Immediately afterwards, everyone saw specks of fire element being drawn from the remains of the Sacred Red Falcon.

After the last drop of fire element was extracted, Wang Yan gently tapped "Seventy-Two Xuanming" again: "(Angelic language) Freeze it!"

The fire element runes on the "Seventy-Two Cyclones" faded, and ice-white runes emerged, causing the surrounding air temperature to drop sharply.

Ice fog began to adhere to the remains of the Holy Relic Red Falcon.

Before long, the originally crimson beast was covered in frost.

"This...the desert's high temperature will melt this frost soon, right?" Soxi almost thought Wang Yan was an idiot scholar who knew nothing about the desert.

Fortunately, Seno said in time, "Wang Yan must have his reasons for doing this."

Although he was still somewhat puzzled, he believed that his friend was not that stupid.

“If it’s just like that, of course it won’t last long, but with just a little bit of help, it can be maintained,” Wang Yan said with a smile.

After saying that, he took out the Mora bag from his pocket, took out a few Mora, and then tapped "Seventy-Two Cyclone" again: "Melt them."

The "Seventy-Two Cyclones" manifested fire elements, and blazing flames ignited, lifting Mora into the air, where Mora rapidly melted.

Wang Yan then looked at Dolly: "One Aixu Ice Jade Block, I'll settle the bill with you later."

He only carried some elemental fragments as spares. As for the elemental blocks that Dolly sold him last time, he left them at his home in Sumeru City and did not bring them with him.

Dolly, who had been feeling down because she couldn't get any monster materials, suddenly became excited and quickly ordered someone to bring her an ice elemental block: "Zhanfu Qie F Mora!"

"?? Is this price right?" Wang Yan stared at her.

Dolly put her hands on her hips: "Goods will naturally be subject to appropriate price increases when necessary!"

“…Fine.” Wang Yan accepted the loss.

After obtaining the Ai Xu Ice Jade Block, the "Seventy-Two Xuanming" had almost melted Mora.

Wang Yan reached out and beckoned, a gentle breeze carrying the scorching Mora solution outwards. An invisible force squeezed the Mora solution into metal sheets dozens of hair-thin thick.

Then the water element appears, rapidly cooling and hardening these metal sheets.

After hardening, Wang Yan tapped "Seventy-Two Cyclone Brightness" again: "Inscribe an ice element rune array that remains frozen."

With a gentle turn, the "Seventy-Two Cyclones" revealed a large number of ice element runes on its surface. Soon, the upgraded Azure Profound Core designed a suitable ice element rune array.

Then, "Seventy-two Radiant Beams" flew to the edge of those metal pieces, and the invisible power landed on the metal pieces, engraving intricate rune tracks.

This smooth little combo left the scholars in the theorizing group speechless.

Although they had returned to the Church of Christ, they had never seen such fancy rune inscriptions before.

You must know that they went through a lot of hardship in order to activate the spiritual power left behind by their predecessors.

"Your Excellency, are all the scholars in the Academy of Instruction... this amazing?" Soshi subconsciously looked at the Grand Secretary beside him.

Seno: ...

He actually didn't know that Wang Yan was so capable.

Although Wang Yan had previously displayed extraordinary power in front of him, Seno only considered it to be on par with Elhesenkavi.

I just heard Wang Yan say that he shot down the monster. At first, Seno thought he used the energy ray device on the spaceship.

Now it seems that Wang Yan's combat strength deserves a higher evaluation.

Yes, it deserves the 'hot' rating.

“Not all of them are that good,” Seno could only answer Soshi’s question.

Soshi nodded slightly, thinking to himself that returning to the Church House was indeed the right decision.

On the other side, "Seventy-two Xuanming" has already completed the depiction of dozens of Mora metal pieces.

Wang Yan waved his hand again, and the metal pieces flew onto the remains of the Sacred Red Falcon and slowly fell.

Some scholars in the theorist group figured out that the metal pieces formed a huge ice elemental rune.

As the metal piece fell, Wang Yan once again sent out the Sorrowful Ice Jade Block in his hand. The elemental block floated and landed in the center of the huge ice elemental rune.

There is also a Mora metal plate here, engraved with an ice element rune array.

However, there was a slot in the center of this metal piece that perfectly held the Ai Xu Ice Jade block in place.

“Activate the magic array,” Wang Yan said to “Seventy-Two Xuanming.”

"Seventy-two Xuanming" trembled slightly, and a stream of ice elemental power landed on the Aixu Ice Jade Block.

The next moment, a beam of icy white light flashed across the beast, completely covering it with frost.

"Alright, even in the high temperatures of the desert, this piece of Ai Xu Ice Jade can last for two months. That should be enough time for the item to survive!"

Soshi nodded vigorously: "That's enough, absolutely enough."

She even thought that desert people would try to steal the mission.

After all, who wouldn't want to have air conditioning in the desert?

Standing here, she could feel the coolness emanating from the remains of the sacred red eagle.

Indeed, death is like a cool summer night, bringing peace and sleep.

Chapter 164 Another Moon Banquet

Dolly took on the task of recruiting desert tribesmen, saying she was familiar with the surrounding tribes.

Although Wang Yan knew that the other party might want to earn a commission from him, he didn't care.

After all, it was only a small expense for Mora, and Wang Yan didn't want to waste time negotiating with the desert people.

Well, it would be acceptable to believe in the Flower Goddess, but clearly, the desert people here don't even believe in the Red King anymore, let alone the Flower Goddess.

The struggle for survival can give rise to faith, or it can erase one's former faith.

Let Dolly go about her business, while Wang Yan and Seno went to the side to chat.

During the conversation, Wang Yan also mentioned that Dolly had commissioned local forces in Fengdan to investigate the robbery and attack.

Seno nodded: "We have sent an official letter to Fengdan requesting assistance in the investigation, but we have not yet received a response."

Wang Yan thought about the daily tasks in the game involving Maple Leaf, specifically the task related to improving the work efficiency of the Mo Mang Palace…

He figured the official letter from Sumeru was probably still circulating in the legal court.

"Did you find any clues in the desert?" Wang Yan asked again.

Seno nodded: "During Hazard's time and for a period after his downfall, many Sumerians left Sumeru and went to other countries."

During the time of Adhar, most desert dwellers left because they truly could not survive there and had no choice but to leave Sumeru to try their luck in other countries.

Those who left after Hazard's downfall were mostly people involved in his vested interests.

"During our investigation, we discovered that it seems that people in the desert had been crossing the sea at the edge of the desert to reach Maple Leaf very early on."

The route from the desert to the maple trees is the one travelers have taken.

Seno continued, "Some of them are doing it for survival, but some of them seem a bit off."

"Investigations show that very advanced weapons have been found in the desert... even man-made remnants of dragons, which is inconsistent with the level of civilization among desert tribes. I suspect that a gang has been smuggling weapons into the desert for many years."

"I just don't know why, but they stopped operating in the desert and went to Fengdan. It was only recently, after contacting Dolly, that they revealed their true colors."

Wang Yan listened quietly and nodded slightly: "Advanced weapons... do not really fit the characteristics of desert people."

Although the Eel's weapons are also very advanced, they are still essentially melee weapons. As for the Relic Dragon Beast, let alone in the desert, there are very few people in the Council who can understand it.

This thing is practically Canria technology, isn't it!

"Could it be that they are receiving funding from external forces? Like those people in the north?"

When it comes to deserts and maple leaves… Wang Yan's first thought was of the Foolish Genius.

That's just how their reputation is.

However, Seno shook his head: "The timing doesn't match. At that point in time, by winter, they wouldn't have been sending fools and clowns everywhere!"

Yes, the foolish Xing is a master of deception, which is why he can cause trouble in other countries, mainly by using diplomacy to cover up his actions.

"Do you have anyone you suspect?"

"Not yet, perhaps we need to go to Fengdan."

"Oh, I see. That must be very tiring."

The two quickly ended their conversation about the criminals and began talking about their friends.

Time passed little by little.

Meanwhile, Dolly also contacted some surrounding tribes and quickly gathered enough people to carry the sacred remains of the Red Falcon. She then found a gilded caravan that operated in the desert, who would take care of the safety issues.

After everything was arranged, Dolly came to Wang Yan's side: "Hehe, Scholar Wang Yan, I've arranged everything for you."

"How many Mora?" Wang Yan asked directly.

Dolly chuckled: "If you're willing to let me handle those materials, then consider it a favor I'm doing you a favor."

She still wanted Wang Yan's red falcon materials.

Compared to the materials, the cost of hiring desert dwellers to do the work is nothing.

Dolly's talent has always been to accomplish great things with little money.
