Chapter 122 Lord Grass God, please take the blame for me.
Two days later, when everything had finally settled down, the dust had settled.
[Due to the lack of substantial evidence, Taj can only provide assistance to you in his personal capacity and cannot mobilize the full force of the disciplinary officers.]
[You left Sumeru City overnight, riding swift horses towards Kawan Post Station, while Naxida used the Void System to calculate the fastest and most efficient route for you.]
Fortunately, you arrived in the desert to rescue Kavi's father before he was completely surrounded by the scorpions.
The only unexpected incident was that Kavi, who had secretly followed you out of the city, was caught red-handed by the perceptive Taj and subsequently given a serious lecture.
In short, this close call has finally passed, except for...
"Hello, I'm Seno, Tage's partner and a trainee disciplinary officer."
"If there are no further questions, please sign the file."
In the headquarters of the Disciplinary Committee, a white-haired boy with a purple fox and wolf headdress handed a case file to Mu Feng, who was waiting outside the office. His golden-red eyes silently sized up the genius in front of him, who was about the same age as him.
"Hello, thank you for your help, Seno."
Mu Feng nodded and took the newly completed case file to examine it carefully.
Although Kavi's father was rescued unharmed, suffering only minor injuries and slight shock, his companion did not seem to be so lucky.
[According to the Disciplinary Officer's investigation, the scorpion rampage was influenced by an alchemical potion that the Council of Churches had forbidden research on.]
At this sensitive juncture, Rafaño, another companion who had mysteriously disappeared, became the prime suspect for the disciplinary officer.
[Taj led the disciplinary officers in a search of the nearby desert and eventually found Rafaño's body. His cause of death was an attack by a swarm of berserk scorpions.]
Among the relics of Lafayette, the disciplinary officer discovered bottles containing illicit alchemical potions.
[Although you and Tage both suspect there's still a mastermind behind everything, it's no secret that Rafaño is a confidant of the soon-to-be-appointed Sage, Hazard.]
But all the clues ended with Rafaño's death, forever tied to that empty potion bottle.
[Under duress and pressure from the Cleric, and though unwilling, the disciplinary officers ultimately decided to temporarily close the case as Rafaño plotting murder out of jealousy towards his colleague.]
The perpetrator's assets were confiscated, his academic achievements were revoked, and part of the proceeds were used to compensate the victims. This farce thus came to an abrupt end.
[Furthermore, at your and Nasita's request, all records of the gods' involvement in the incident were erased, and the credit for noticing the anomaly was attributed to the disciplinary officer, Taj.]
Although Taj was very confused, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and become a highly praised "hero" in the disciplinary team due to divine command.
Although the process was rather complicated, the ending was quite satisfying, wasn't it?
“The case file looks very much in line with the facts, and I have no objections.”
Mu Feng picked up a quill pen, signed his name, and praised the material, which was far removed from the truth, without batting an eye.
Yes, it only fits perfectly.
Seno took the case file with the complainant's name on it, withdrew his gaze from observing the complainant, and offered a fair assessment:
"You are the first scholar I have ever met who can remain so calm when entering the Disciplinary Office headquarters."
If an ordinary person arrives at the Disciplinary Committee headquarters without their legs trembling and their face turning pale, they are considered to be a person of strong will.
The young man in front of him showed no sign of nervousness and even had the leisure to observe the various mechanisms around him, ostensibly to search for a precious treasure chest left behind by his predecessors. This truly impressed the future Grand Inspector.
If Mu Feng hadn't noticed the Seven Saints Summoning Cards peeking out from Seno's pocket, he might have felt a bit more awe towards this disciplinary officer.
"Want to play a round of Seven Saints Summoning after get off work?"
Sino looked on with deep respect; he felt he should show the highest courtesy to a fellow card player who shared his passion.
"Do you know why Rei Slime and Fire Slime can't ride the elevator at the Disciplinary Headquarters?"
"Because they will overload."
Mu Feng: ...
……
Two days later, Kavi's father was finally discharged from the health center, and his "great academic adventure" came to a safe end.
[As for Kavi's adventure outside the city and his father's return home after their research, only to be met with a furious outburst from Ms. Farana, that's another story.]
As for your parents, they seem to have become immune to your unusual behavior and are not overly surprised by it.
Perhaps, even if you were to suddenly become a great sage, they would still consider it merely a matter of course, an ordinary occurrence.
However, while the case file provided by the disciplinary officer might fool unsuspecting individuals, it failed to convince the Kavi family.
In their memory, the first person to notice something amiss was not the disciplinary officer mentioned in the case file, but you, who visited late at night.
[So, the Kavi family, believing the disciplinary officer had stolen your credit, stormed off to the disciplinary headquarters demanding an explanation, but you stopped them in time.]
To persuade the indignant Kavi family, you smoothly shifted the blame for noticing the anomaly and informing them of the situation to Nasita, explaining that erasing information about his involvement was divine protection.
[Isn't it normal for a god of wisdom to be omniscient and all-knowing?]
The cat is innocent, the cat shrugs.JPG
What bad intentions could a little kid like him have?
[And so, you watch as the Kavi family devoutly expresses their gratitude to the Little Lucky Grass King, then smiles and departs, their good deed and fame hidden.]
"You were the one who sensed the danger first, so why did you hide it from them?"
Nasita's voice suddenly rang in his mind, interrupting Mu Feng, who was happily munching on roasted scorpion meat after returning home.
"Hey, if I tell them, I'll have to keep explaining where the information came from, that's too tiring."
"Besides, I can't really tell them I can predict the future, can I?"
Mu Feng casually wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth, picked up a glass of chilled sunset juice, took a big gulp, and stretched lazily with great satisfaction.
"So, I'm asking the kind and benevolent Grass God to take the blame for me!"
"Hey, how about some grilled meat? It's delicious!"
Nasita paused for a moment, watching through the void as the Kavi family diligently sculpted an exquisite statue of the grass god. She murmured to herself:
But it seems you don't entirely think that way.
