Chapter 451 Elhaysen eavesdropping
"Red King...this is a good entry point."
Not far from where Ying and Paimon were talking, Elhaysen closed the book he had been holding.
Although he didn't think that Zuo Xi would show him the "knowledge of the gods" as promised, he still had some interest in the two travelers traveling together because of the other party's special request.
What kind of two people would be paid so close attention to by the great sage of the Order Council and a mysterious scholar and businessman?
Alhaysen took a certain interest in this.
To say the least, even in order to continue to gain access to the "canned knowledge of the gods", he must at least maintain the deal with the scholar named Zuo Xi on the surface.
Whether it's just a pretense, or whether you really launch an investigation out of interest... at least on the surface, you have to create an opportunity to get close to the traveler, so that you can seize the initiative.
So, he came to the Grand Bazaar.
He has been to this place a few times before, but it was all for research needs. The purpose of coming here now is the same - if it is a general summary, it can indeed be called research needs.
As he had learned before, this traveler had indeed been staying in the Grand Bazaar during this period. The reason is unknown, but that doesn't matter.
The important thing is that he did not lose the traveler's whereabouts.
"The next step will have to wait until after the Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival...then this phase of the work is almost over."
Once a more accurate time and useful entry point are obtained, the goal of this stage has been achieved. This means that the current working hours are over and he can get off work.
"Sir, are you also interested in the Flower Goddess Festival?"
Elhaysen, who was about to go home and rest after work, was stopped when he was about to leave. After judging that pretending not to hear was probably useless, Elhaysen turned around helplessly.
The person who stopped him behind him was a lady dressed in luxurious clothes and elegant manners. Elhaysen did not know the other person, at least based on his memory, he did not recall that he had ever known the other person.
The other party probably didn't know him, otherwise the first sentence of the opening wouldn't have been in that tone and rhetoric.
The way she dresses and behaves does not look like she is a local from the Grand Bazaar, but rather like a young lady from some big families in Port Olmos.
But for those big families, this way of talking seemed a little too enthusiastic.
However, there are thousands of people with different faces, although it is not impossible to use only one template to constantly summarize a certain type of people. But it would be too foolish to regard it as a golden rule and believe it firmly while ignoring the practical factors.
In short, although I don't know the purpose of the other party's visit now, I haven't felt any deliberate observation before... It seems to be just pure enthusiasm, and you can deal with it normally.
After going through the information in his mind, Elhaysen quickly made a judgment on the current situation. And he took corresponding actions based on his own judgment without hesitation.
"That's right. I heard the promotion so I came over to take a look."
Previously, in order to investigate travelers, Alhaysen also observed the Grand Bazaar for a short period of time. Naturally, I also noticed the grandness of this flower god's birthday festival.
For this Flower Goddess Festival, the Grand Bazaar seems to have put a lot of energy into it.
Not only was the venue decorated in a very stylish way, but they also put considerable effort into publicity.
To put it bluntly, if you are a little far away from the Order, you will see someone promoting the Flower Goddess Festival on the street every time you walk for a while.
No matter how you look at it, this Flower Goddess Festival is the largest in recent years.
"Really? That's great. We don't just promote it well, this festival will definitely not disappoint you."
The eldest lady opposite seemed to be very happy about Elhaysen's interest in the Flower Goddess Festival. Elhaysen noticed that the other party seemed a bit immature in dealing with things.
Although it is obvious that everyone looks like a lady, her words and deeds are more like she lacks some experience... Compared to the new members of the family who frequently go to various occasions, this eldest lady's experience in this area does not seem to match her apparent age.
Is it because the family is unhappy...or is there any special reason that prevents the other party from attending various social activities?
Or maybe the other person's personality is just like this, and now he's willing to take the initiative to communicate, just because he happened to come across a topic of interest.
"I hope it's what you said...your promotion is too noisy. If the festival doesn't do well, you should really apologize to everyone's ears."
Elhaysen's words were unkind, and he lived in Sumeru City. Although the person in charge of publicity is quite measured, it is true that it is too noisy in his opinion.
