Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

Ghulam's gaze fell on the void terminal on the table beside him, and his eyes flickered.

"Aren't you bringing the Void Terminal?"

"I'm not used to sleeping with it."

"It seems you haven't experienced the most important sleep-aid function of the Void Terminal."

"It also has sleep-aiding properties?"

"Yes, after wearing it, you will sleep very soundly at night without being disturbed by nightmares. This is the blessing of the Great Tree King."

I'll try it next time.

The more Gulam said this, the more Jiang Bai felt that there was something fishy about the Void Terminal.

But he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was going on, so he just made a note of it for the time being.

Jiang Bai hung the Void Terminal on his ear, finished breakfast, and followed him out.

Ghulam showed Jiang Bai around the Church House, explaining its specifics to him as he went.

“Mount Sumeru is renowned for its wisdom, and the Civic Council is the center of wisdom.”

"The Academy of Teachings has existed for over a thousand years. It was established by the Great Tree King and has evolved over thousands of years into six schools of thought."

"These are the biophilosophical schools that study biology, ecology, and medicine. Tinari was from the biophilosophical school."

"The Ming school of thought studies the stars, astrology, and destiny."

"The Elementalist School studies elements, geomancy, and alchemy."

"The epistemological school that studies linguistics and semaphores. Lord Kavaja and I both come from here."

"The cause-theorists who study history, sociology, and economics."

"And finally, the school of thought that studied mechanical engineering, mathematics, and architecture."

Upon hearing that he was from the epistemological school, Jiang Bai expressed a slight doubt to him in a very gentle tone.

"Knowledge of language and runes doesn't seem to be relevant to my memory recovery, does it?"

"Haha, there is a slight correlation. But the one who will treat you is a leading figure in the theory of life, not me."

Jiang Bai scratched his head shyly, "You can arrange it, I don't really know much about it."

"The brain is a very mysterious and extremely important field, and memory is of paramount importance. You're not in good shape right now; you need to rest for a few days. Once you've recovered sufficiently, we can perform a brain examination and try to help you recall some of your memories..."

Ghulam naturally offered his excuses for delaying.

"Mmm." Hearing him say this, Jiang Bai's eyes were full of anticipation.

The interior of the Order House was exceptionally large. Gulam led Jiang Bai on a tour, recounting the history of the Order House to deepen his understanding of it and foster a certain yearning and fondness for it.

"The Academy is a very inclusive place; it's a temple of knowledge. People from any country can enroll as long as they pass the exam. It doesn't charge tuition, and it even awards you a certain amount of bonuses after you achieve certain research results..."

"That's great... Can an adult like me still enroll? But I don't know what I'm good at..."

Jiang Bai began to seriously consider which school of thought he could join.

It seems that none of the schools of thought are quite effective.

"As long as you can pass the exam, or have a letter of recommendation from a renowned scholar, you'll be fine. However, while admission is easy, graduation is very difficult..."

"I think I'll pass. I don't think I'm cut out for academic research."

As Jiang Bai chatted with him, he casually brought up the topic:

"I heard that the Little Lucky Grass King is also in the Order Academy. May I see him?"

Ghulam was taken aback by his sudden question.

"Little Lucky Grass King? Little Lucky Grass King is in the Pure Goodness Palace. Why do you want to see her?"

Honestly, most of the Sumeru people don't even remember that they have a Little Auspicious Grass King.

This little auspicious grass king has never appeared in their sight for many years, and they have never heard of her. They even asked her in the void, but there has been no news of her since the sages brought her back five hundred years ago.

"Xumi is known for her wisdom, so she must be the goddess of wisdom. If she is the goddess of wisdom, then she must be able to help me regain my memories."

"Besides, you know, gods! Even if you don't ask for anything, just praying to them will bring you good luck!"

"The God of Wisdom?" Ghulam's lips curled into a disdainful smile, but it was quickly concealed.

How can a god without wisdom be called a god of wisdom?

Even the Little Lucky Grass King wasn't part of their plan from beginning to end.

However, there's no need to tell outsiders about these things.

Jiang Bai didn't miss the disdain on his face, and his doubts deepened.

Why did he show disdain when the god of wisdom was mentioned?

Is it because the Little Lucky Grass King is not qualified to be called the God of Wisdom?

Five hundred years have passed, isn't that enough?

"Perhaps, but I have never seen Lady Little Lucky Grass. She lives at the highest point of the Sacred Tree and is not someone you can see easily."

"I see..." Jiang Bai's disappointment was completely genuine.

It seems that meeting this little auspicious grass king is really not an easy thing.

Even this scholar from the Order of the Church, who seemed to hold a rather high position, had never met him.

At that moment, a door next to it opened.

Al-Hysen walked out, holding a thick book in his hand.

His gaze paused slightly, first falling on Gram, who was also from the Knowledge School, and then on Jiang Bai, who was standing next to Gram and dressed in Liyue-style clothes.

After glancing at it twice, he walked straight past.

Seeing Elhesen's posture, Ghulam couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath.

"That arrogant jerk!"

Chapter 694 The Great Sage Covers the Sky with One Hand

Jiang Bai didn't sense that the other party was particularly arrogant, probably because they didn't know each other.

But the other person's indifference really hurt the person next to them.

The fact that he was inflicted with real injury simply by ignoring it piqued his curiosity.

Who exactly was that person just now, and what dispute did Ghulam have with him?

No! The other party doesn't seem to have any conflict with Ghulam; it's more like Ghulam is unilaterally hostile towards him.

Who is that person?

"He's an annoying guy, don't bother with him."

When Elhesen was mentioned, Ghulam couldn't hide his envy and jealousy, but he tried his best to appear nonchalant, which only made Jiang Bai more concerned.

"He seemed to turn around and glance at you."

"What!" Ghulam turned around instantly to look at Elhesen, who had already walked past, afraid that Elhesen had overheard what he had just said.

Elhesen, the current scribe, is in charge of all data input into the void.

This may seem like a sinecure, but it is actually a very important position.

The funding, materials, facilities, and personnel required for the academic research institutes of the Order of the Church are not unlimited. In this country where knowledge is a resource, the scribes control all the input of data into the void, and can be said to hold the lifeline of all scholars.

If he wanted to, he could easily find fault with a paper and cause a lot of pain for someone.

If it is rejected outright and not approved, all research will be invalidated.

Therefore, he was one of the people in the Church of Christ who could not be offended.

Moreover, he controls the input of all data into the void, allowing him to understand the research progress of various schools of thought. If he so desires, nothing in the Order of the Church can be kept from him.

But this is not a reason for Ghulam to envy or be jealous of him.

The Epistemological School was relatively weak among the six major factions of the Council of the Church, and its academic resources were also very scarce compared to the other schools.

They belong to the type who have neither money nor power, and their future prospects are even worse than those of the "brilliant" school of thought who can make money as designers.

Kavaja, as a sage of the Epistemological School, was also quite weak among the six great sages, and even had to personally visit Tinari to ask for his help, which is enough to show the current state of the Epistemological School.

If you were to ask who the most outstanding scholars in the epistemological school are, everyone would think of one person, and only that one person.

Other scholars of the epistemological school paled in comparison to his brilliance, and were not even qualified to be mentioned.

Gulam considered himself to be an excellent scholar among the epistemologists, but compared to Elhesen, he was like the moon and the stars.

He was jealous and envious, but the other person had already reached a level he could only look up to. Even so, he only dared to vent these emotions in private and dared not show them.

Al-Hysen walked straight ahead with the book in his hand, completely ignoring the commotion behind him.

"Maybe I saw it wrong," Jiang Bai said, spreading his hands innocently.

That person certainly didn't look back; he was just saying it casually.

However, Ghulam's reaction was quite strong, which further indicates that this person's identity is extraordinary.

If there's a chance, I might consider getting in touch.

Ghulam patted his chest, relieved that he had misread it; it had really given him a fright.

He complained to Jiang Bai, "Next time, look carefully before you speak. He is the current clerk of the Order of the Instruction, which is a relatively high position. We can't afford to offend him."

"How tall is he? Taller than a sage?"

"No, it's not that bad. Never mind, let me explain the structure of the Order of the Fathers to you, so you don't offend anyone you shouldn't."

"You already know that the Council of the Church has six major schools, and the highest-ranking person in each school is the Sage. The person in charge of the entire Council of the Church is the Great Sage, who is chosen from among the six Great Sages."

"Below the Sages is the oversight body—the Disciplinary Officers, the Grand Secretary in charge of managing the entire library of the Order of the Church, and the Clerks responsible for data entry..."

The above is the power structure of the Academy's internal administration. It is not complicated, after all, it is still an academy.

As for managing the entire Sumeru region, that's a different power structure altogether.

However, the highest power is in the hands of the great sages.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he could control everything.

As Jiang Bai listened, he searched for the corresponding content in the void, and thus gained a fairly good understanding of the power structure of the Order of the Teachings.

After showing Jiang Bai around briefly, Gulam took him back to the house.

He needs to prepare his knowledge of canning.

Preparing for this isn't difficult. Whether you issue a quest to find Liyue adventurers directly to a group of thirty in the Void or submit a request to the Adventurers' Guild, it's easy to find people who meet the requirements.

The more complex aspect lies in extracting knowledge about canning.

In the current Xumi industry, canned goods are a gray area; their production, processing, and sales are all conducted in a clandestine manner.

However, as the sage's confidant, he naturally had the corresponding channels.

Just to be on the safe side, he didn't issue the mission directly to the group of thirty, but instead went to the Adventurers' Guild to post a request to find someone.

Kong and Paimon also happen to be in the Adventurers' Guild.

They sat in the lobby of the Adventurers' Guild, listening to the adventurers dressed as mercenaries around them recount some interesting and novel things about Sumeru.

Just like listening to a story, it's a rare and novel experience.

At that moment, Kong noticed Ghulam walking in.

He remembered that face.

At that time, this person came to find Tinali with the sage and took Jiang Bai away.

He observed them from upstairs and remembered their appearance, but he never showed himself.

What is he doing at the Adventurers' Guild at a time like this?

Kong didn't act rashly; after the other party left, he went directly to Catherine.

"Catherine, what kind of request did that scholar just make?"

"We have indeed posted a commission. You seem to be a good fit. What do you think? Want to take it?"
