Man in the Ark: Revitalizing Kazdel

Chapter 364: Conversation with the Old Heavenly Master

Nian spent some time to clean up his image. Not long after, Roy, the old master and Jingzhe walked into the office one after another.

The reason why Jingzhe needed to be present for this conversation was because Roy believed that the old Taoist priest had been stationed in the northern border all year round and might not be familiar with some of the recent events in the court.

Jingzhe had returned to the capital of Da Yan not long ago to report on his work, and had a detailed and in-depth understanding of the cooperation between Da Yan and Kazdel. It was most appropriate for her to serve as the middleman.

The old Taoist priest who entered Roy's office for the first time quickly scanned the interior decoration. It was simple and low-key, without any luxurious and elegant artworks and decorations.

The calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, the bronze statues on the desk, the long swords placed horizontally on the sword rack... In the eyes of the old Taoist priest, all of them faintly reveal the aura of giant beasts and gods, and they are treasures that cannot be bought no matter how much money you have.

"It's not simple. If the scholars who study giant beasts see this, I wonder how excited they will be." Among all the creatures created by the gods, the old Taoist priest attached great importance to the long sword.

The long sword seemed to be quietly sheathed, but in fact it was constantly emitting extremely sharp sword energy. The sword was a deadly weapon, and if it was not restrained by the scabbard, it would definitely hurt people.

"The agent of the Sui Beast who disappeared from Longmen, you are here after all!" When Jingzhe saw Nian sitting on the sofa and waving at him with a smile, his face immediately darkened.

I don't know how much time and energy I spent and how much pressure I endured from my superiors in order to find this guy, and yet she still smiled at me.

Thinking of that period of time, when she had been searching the city all day but always returned empty-handed, Jingzhe suddenly felt a nameless anger in her heart. The resentment of a worker with a strong sense of responsibility was now deeply enveloping her.

"Jingzhe, we are here at the invitation of Mr. Roy, and we cannot lose the etiquette of our Great Yan." The old Taoist priest turned around and taught Jingzhe a lesson. In fact, the smile on the corner of his mouth was more arrogant than anyone else's.

"Blacksmith, you actually come here. Just wait and see how I will teach you a lesson later." Thinking of the slowly progressing Twelve Floors and Five Cities project in Tianshi Pavilion, the old Tianshi wished he could capture Nian and bring him back to work right now.

Seeing this, Nian's heart tightened immediately, "Oh no, this old guy is definitely going to trip me up. Roy, you have to help me..."

Roy nodded slightly to indicate that she should not worry, and asked the old Taoist priest and Jingzhe to sit down.

......

The aroma of brewing tea rose from the four white jade porcelain teacups on the sandalwood coffee table. Nian put down the kettle and sat down next to Roy.

"Roy, what do you want to talk about? Should I step away?" Nian glanced at the old Taoist priest and Jingzhe opposite him and asked in a low voice.

"No need. This matter actually has something to do with you. This is a rare opportunity. We can just talk about the matter between Sui Beast Agent and Da Yan."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Nian nodded and said nothing more.

"Old Heavenly Master, since you saw the spirits from the north appear in Kazdel, and you are worried that the spirits will wreak havoc on the border of Da Yan, I can promise here that the spirits attracted by the experiment will not appear outside the experimental site."

"As for the purpose of the experiment, this is Kazdel's internal affairs. Da Yan has no right to interfere."

"What if it gets leaked?"

"Then I will clean it up myself, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Mr. Roy, things are not as simple as you think. Da Yan has spent immeasurable national strength fighting against the northern monsters for hundreds of years, but it can only resist, not eliminate.

"They are like weeds growing wildly in the fields. After being burned by a raging fire, they grow even more luxuriantly the next year. Their roots buried deep underground cannot be found and they can never be completely eradicated."

"I know more about this than the old master. We have found one of the sources of the evil demons invading Terra. By the way, the evil demons I mentioned are the monsters that invade the northern border of Da Yan."

"Mr. Roy has actually found the source of those dirty things? Can you reveal some information? I am willing to give you something of equal value in exchange."

Upon learning that Kazdel had discovered the so-called source of evil, the old Taoist priest took the initiative to propose an information exchange. She wanted to know whether the situation was true.

If this is true, Dayan will have the opportunity to completely end the war with the monsters and concentrate on dealing with the crisis of the resurrection of the Sui Beast.

"Regarding the exploration and development of the birthplace of evil spirits, Kazdel once invited Dayan. Unfortunately, I have not received a positive response yet..." At this point, Roy's tone was full of regret, and he shook his head helplessly.

"When did such an important thing happen, and I was totally unaware of it... Jingzhe, do you know about this?"

"Sorry, teacher, I'm not sure either." Jingzhe shook her head. She had never heard of any cooperation projects with the northern monsters.

"Haha... I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Mr. Roy. I will reply to you as soon as I return to Dayan and understand the situation clearly." The old Taoist priest bowed to Roy and expressed his apologies on behalf of Dayan for not replying to him for a long time.

The old Taoist priest suspected that the younger generation in the Taoist Temple had concealed the matter from him temporarily in order not to disturb him during his recuperation period.

"It's okay. It's not too late to start looking into it now. It just so happens that I explored that source some time ago. I brought back some evidence to prove its authenticity. Master, take it and check it out."

Roy stood up and left, took out a document wrapped in a file bag from the desk drawer, and handed it to the old Taoist priest.
