Harold was speechless.
"That's all. If you want to set it up, just submit the proposal first. I will take it to the council for a vote. But I have promised in advance that I will abstain from voting."
Although his attitude was clear, Wayne did not come to him specifically for the abstention vote.
"...Mr. Chairman, don't you think what I just said makes sense?" Wayne asked sincerely.
"Even if I think so, I will abstain from voting." Harold began to forcefully lie.
From some angles, his arrogant appearance is exactly the same as that of Professor Conley.
But if he is determined not to support it, it seems that Wayne will not be able to do anything to him for a while. You can't beat him up here, right?
"By the way, were the chairman and the teacher studying something special some time ago?"
Wayne encountered these two people meeting mysteriously in private several times in the academy, but they said nothing as soon as he passed by.
The chairman casually replied: "Yes, isn't it the super large magic strength testing cabin?"
"Is it just that?" Wayne asked.
"Then what else is there?" Harold looked innocent and confused.
"Isn't it—" Wayne deliberately prolonged his voice.
He keenly observed that Harold could not help but began to nervously rub the magnifying glass in his hand.
It seems really fishy.
"Forget it, actually I don't know anything." He stopped talking. "If you two leak any information later, it will definitely have nothing to do with me."
It was clear that Harold was unwilling to reveal the "secret", so Wayne deliberately blackmailed him.
Harold's eyebrows jumped at his threat.
"What did you learn from your teacher?" he asked in a deep voice.
Wei En pretended to be mysterious and shook his head and said: "God said: It cannot be expressed, it cannot be expressed."
Harold couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and looked at the closed office door.
"That bastard actually told you!"
The usually laid-back chairman was now a little annoyed and paced back and forth anxiously for several times. "Forget it, now that you already know, I have nothing to hide."
Wayne was shocked.
Good guy, I really got deceived by myself.
"——That's right, I'm secretly copying the secret room in the Royal Capital Cathedral." He said something very candidly.
"But this is also for the academic progress of our Qingxi Academy, and even the entire Lornes Kingdom!"
He simply spoke out, and he became much more confident.
"In the Cathedral of the Royal Capital of Lornes, there are several secret rooms with different purposes, which were built by a team specially sent by the Holy See. You have also entered one of them, which can increase the activity of magic power in the environment, thus transforming the Enhance a person's magical strength." He did not sit back in his seat, but walked to the floor-to-ceiling window behind the desk with an excellent view.
"This is an undisclosed secret of the Holy See. It is said to come from the divine revelation received by a certain pope, and its working principle is strictly kept secret." At this point, his voice paused.
"But, I want to know."
Wayne wanted to applaud him, but the reality was that if someone from the church discovered this, it would be tantamount to theft.
And it's of an extremely bad nature.
"Can't we cooperate officially? Authorize each other to let the church use the research results of our Qingxi Academy, and then we can also directly use the church's resources."
This type of win-win cooperation and mutual benefit was common in later generations.
But after hearing what he said, Harold just shook his head helplessly.
"You underestimate the barriers of the church." He sighed. "The church has recorded and concealed countless secrets for thousands of years. They have specialized agencies at all levels of the church responsible for secrets, and the canons are even more It is expressly forbidden to allow outsiders to spy on internal materials, and all information that reaches a certain level of confidentiality will eventually be sealed at the top of Mount Pope in the bitter cold."
"It is said that there is a path to reach the Kingdom of God in the sky."
The chairman's tone of voice could not tell whether he was yearning or doubting.
"The Kingdom of God in Heaven..." Wayne couldn't help but ask, "Chairman, you don't want to go to Mount Pope to steal secrets, do you?"
"Cough, cough..." Harold choked half to death, "What are you talking nonsense about, kid? Can what we magicians do be considered stealing?"
Under Wayne's very untrustworthy expression, Harold forcefully explained: "I am doing this for knowledge and academics!"
After that, he added in a low voice——
"Besides, I probably can't go up Mount Pope, let alone go to the top to steal things."
It seems that you are actually a little moved.
Wayne felt as if he had gotten to know the lazy person in front of him all over again.
In the past, he couldn't believe that Chairman Harold, who could only abstain from voting, was so ambitious.
"In short, your teacher and I are trying to reproduce the production principles of those secret rooms one by one, and we have found some clues. The 'magic strength detection cabin' is one of the by-products of this research."
Harold said with great certainty: "I believe that as long as we continue to study, we will definitely drive progress in a series of academic fields, inspire inspiration for all magicians in the kingdom, and encourage everyone to publish more shocking papers!"
"If there really is a God in the Kingdom of God in heaven... I think He would also like to see a more creative and prosperous human world, right?"
Infected by Harold's feelings that seemed to be bursting with infinite ideals, Wayne felt that his own fighting spirit was also aroused.
"Yes, I think so."
"So!" Harold turned back to look at him in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
Behind him is a brilliant sunset that is about to end. "Come and join us! With your current strength, I agree."
"Uh...join?" Wayne was a little surprised.
"Join our great team! Provide us with financial and human assistance!" Harold was uncharacteristically impassioned.
"..."
Wayne was dumbfounded.
Sorry, can I refuse?
He finally realized that something wasn't going right.
Obviously I just wanted to give everyone an extra day of holiday as a benefit, so why did I suddenly become sponsored by an unknown theft gang?
…
After a while.
Wayne took a blank document that Harold had signed in advance and left the chairman's office with a look of self-doubt.
After some communication, Harold readily agreed to his request to open a festival, and graciously said that he could arrange the time as he pleased.
However, at the same time, the two parties also finalized another shady cooperation plan.
