The Heart of God, which they had been searching for for so long, appeared before him in such a dramatic way.
Well, it's a bit unsettling.
Hu Tao craned her neck and looked curiously at the box.
Jiang Bai knocked it down too quickly; she only saw a green thing inside, but didn't see what it was.
What's inside?
"What we're looking for."
Walnut's mouth opened slightly, also surprised.
This divine heart came so easily, could it be fake?
She raised an eyebrow and looked Elhesen up and down.
This person is undoubtedly a top-notch shrewd individual.
By offering the Heart of God, he demonstrates that he has no desire for it and is also a gesture of goodwill.
But to give it so decisively requires extraordinary courage.
After all, what if we entrust the task to the wrong person?
Such an important item could have serious consequences if given to the wrong person.
"Could you two verify the authenticity of the item?"
El-Heinz's expression remained largely unchanged; he seemed to rarely experience any emotional fluctuations.
"I've made up my mind."
The Heart of God is a very special thing; he already has one, so he won't mistake it.
"How did you get his? Why did you take it?"
"That's a long story, and it's also somewhat related to you..."
Jiang Bai pointed at himself with a puzzled look, "Me?"
How did this get involved with him?
Could it be that Al-Hysen saw him in the underground laboratory?
"The Church's god-making project is not a short-term task. Due to my position, I noticed something amiss with the Church's resource distribution. To be on the safe side, the Great Sage Azar directly dispatched me to Port Omos, far away from the Church..."
Jiang Bai wasn't too surprised by this, since he had found this document in Hazard's office, which dealt with Elhesen.
Hazard considered Al-Hysen a very troublesome person, with extremely high intelligence, a high official position, and a solitary nature.
Such a person is unlikely to make any obvious mistakes, so Hazard naturally couldn't find a reason to lash out at him.
However, without clearly stating his position, the best option is to temporarily send him abroad.
"I encountered the blond traveler and his companion in the port of Ormos and overheard their conversation. They received information from one of their companions that the Church's plans were related to God..."
"So you're certain that one of their companions was me, just because of that one brief encounter?"
Jiang Bai found it hard to believe.
Just from a single meeting, you've already deduced so much information!
"Is it so hard to be sure?" Elhesen countered.
“Grum is Kavaja’s confidant. With someone like him accompanying them strolling around the Council of the Faith, and dressed in Liyue attire, a little investigation would reveal who their companion is.”
"...You're right."
Jiang Bai rubbed his forehead, having to admit that Elhesen's words made a lot of sense.
The key point is that there aren't many people who can connect these fragments of information!
It's important to know that when Ghulam brought him to Elhesen, it was at a completely different time than when Elhesen met Kong.
There were at least several days between them.
He was able to connect the events that happened over such a long period of time!
Jiang Bai rarely truly admires anyone.
But facing this man, Elhesen, he had to admit he admired him.
He could already guess what would happen next.
As expected, Elhesen continued:
"Considering the unusual situation within the Church itself, and the information I unexpectedly obtained, I came up with a bold conjecture. So I returned to the Church and managed to gain Hazar's trust."
"The Church appears calm on the surface, but in reality, Hazard is engaged in a game with the Doctor. The Doctor's return to the Church and his bringing with him the method of creating gods is itself extraordinary."
"He was once expelled from the Church of Christ. Most people might think that he returned to the Church of Christ to make the Church of Christ realize the mistake of expelling him, but I don't think [Doctor] is that kind of person."
"He has the methods and tools to create gods, so why did he choose the Church of God?"
"He is already the second-in-command of the Fools, and if he wants, he can use most of Winter's resources to complete this plan. So, why choose the Order of the Fathers?"
Jiang Bai pondered along the lines of Elhesen's words and indeed felt that there was a conspiracy involved.
He knew that the Fools' goal was to collect the hearts of other gods, but this information was extremely secret, and Elhesen had no chance to find out.
Even so, he still arrived at the most accurate answer.
All I can say is, impressive, amazing!
Al-Hysen paused for a moment, and after making sure Jiang Bai was following his train of thought, continued:
"Due to the lack of information, I can only guess that he has ulterior motives. I have listed out everything in the Church that he might want, and the Heart of God is among them."
"The backlash from creating a god came suddenly and unexpectedly. I'm not sure if all of this was the doctor's scheme. But this chaos is the perfect time for him to achieve his goal. So, I chose to take the Heart of God with me."
"I'm sorry I lied to you before. I didn't receive any orders from anyone. I just took the safest measure based on the situation."
Al-Hysen's reasoning was impeccable, with a clear cause and effect; even Seno would find no reason to hold him accountable.
"Then why did you come back?"
After asking the question, Jiang Bai suddenly felt there was no need to ask it.
This question is too simple.
Elheisen didn't say anything like "What do you think?" He put an end to his decision to take the Heart of God out of a sense of self-preservation.
"No one knows that I took the Heart of God, and I cannot keep the Heart of God forever."
"The commotion from last time has gradually subsided, and I need to return to assess the situation at the Order of the Fathers. Now that everything is stable, there's no need to put my concerns on them."
Chapter 749 Jiang Bai Pai Secret Technique
“Although you have already given me the Heart of God, it would be better if you came with me to the Pure Goodness Palace. That way, you can watch me return the Heart of God to the Little Auspicious Grass King.”
Jiang Bai is quite responsible.
Since Elhesen gave him the Heart of God, he should naturally keep it safe.
Elhesen did not refuse.
“Perfect timing, I also want to meet the Little Lucky Grass King.”
He is very satisfied with his job as a clerk and does not want to give it up at the moment.
He also wanted to meet this deity who had been overlooked by the public but had suddenly risen to power.
Jiang Bai sent a message to Kong, and then he and Hu Tao headed back to Jing Shan Palace.
The city is so large that it would take quite a while to walk around on foot without any transportation.
Kong, who had just left the city with Sino, stopped in his tracks.
Looking at the message Jiang Bai sent, his lips twitched, his feelings incredibly complicated.
They had just left the city to look for someone when they found the Heart of God.
I just spent some time in the city, and the Heart of God came knocking on my door?
Tears of envy streamed down my face.
"We don't need to look anymore."
"Hmm?" Seno raised an eyebrow.
"...Elhesen has returned the Heart of God."
Sino: "..."
There's always this feeling that the problem has already been solved before anything has even been done.
"What?! Elhesen actually sent the Heart of God back!" Paimon was also very surprised, or rather, they had never thought that Elhesen would send the Heart of God back.
After all, the Heart of God has been lost for some time now; if it were meant to be returned, it should have been returned long ago.
"Let's go back to Jingshan Palace now."
"I have a feeling that we may have misunderstood Elhesen..."
Paimon felt a little guilty, thinking that the group had just been preparing to capture Elhesen.
"Don't jump to conclusions too quickly. Perhaps this is just a remedy he's taking to exonerate himself."
Senor's intuition told him that Elhesen's purpose was anything but simple.
He must have had another purpose in sending the Heart of God back this time.
He had even prepared an impeccable explanation and was just waiting for the trial.
……
With the Heart of God in hand, Jiang Bai felt much more at ease.
He is now very curious about this Elhesen.
"Are you a pure human? Or do you have some other bloodline?"
"What's that on your head? Is it another type of void terminal?"
"Ghulam seems to dislike you. How did you become a scribe?"
"You're much stronger than Bino, and you look quite capable. Why aren't you the Grand Disciplinary Officer?"
"Which college of the Order of the Teachings are you from? What's your specialty?"
Jiang Bai kept asking questions. At first, Elhesen was in the mood to answer them, but soon he felt like a mosquito was buzzing in his ear, asking endless questions, all of which were trivial.
He immediately turned on the noise cancellation mode of his headphones, blocking out all external pollution.
Most people would just let it go if someone ignored them, but Jiang Bai is no ordinary person.
He became even more interested after discovering that what was actually on Al Heisenberg's head was an earphone.
You should know that the headphones Al Heisenberg was wearing were the first ones he had ever seen!
Headphones! Headphones that can play music!
While most wealthy people were still using phonographs to play records, Sumeru already had headphones!
Such a good thing should be given to both the head of the hall and the old man.
He reached out and put his hand on Al Heisenberg's shoulder, intending to take off one of his headphones as well, but before he could even touch him, Al Heisenberg dodged his hand.
Although Erhesen's headphones blocked out external sounds, he was just as vigilant.
"I don't like overly intimate contact," he said coldly, even brushing away Jiang Bai's shoulder, which Jiang Bai hadn't even touched, as if he had a germaphobia.
"Can you hear me now?"
Al-Hysen kept the noise cancellation on in his headphones. He glanced at Jiang Bai's lip movements but ignored him.
It was quite amusing to see Jiang Bai get the short end of the stick.
"You're so noisy!"
It's rare to find someone that even Jiang Bai's thick skin can't handle.
"Really? I was just asking normal questions."
Jiang Bai reflected seriously and realized that it wasn't his problem, but Elhesen's.
