Genshin Impact: This light novel author doesn't cross the line.

A thought struck Elhesen: the Clover Printing House was a secret business of the Humai family.

Dina Zede, the eldest daughter of the Humai family, once suffered from a severe form of demonic scale disease, which was recently cured by Oppenheimer. It's easy to see that Oppenheimer is behind this novel.

He pulled out 100,000 Mora, threw it directly on the stall, and left without even saying goodbye to Dolly.

Dolly shook her head. "What a terrible God."

Then, with great joy, he began to count the Mora that Elhesen had thrown on the stall.

Chapter 136 The Influence of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"

The afternoon sun filtered through the dense foliage, casting its light on Al Heisenberg. He picked up the thick novel, leaned against a sturdy tree, and began his reading journey.

His fingers slid lightly across the pages, making a soft rustling sound.

A gentle breeze blew by, and the leaves swayed softly, as if providing accompaniment for his reading.

Al-Hysen was completely immersed in the world of the novel, forgetting everything around him. His emotions rose and fell with the plot, sometimes tense and exciting, sometimes exhilarating.

"Archbishop Arza's methods are becoming increasingly outrageous; simple props can no longer satisfy his ever-growing desires. He has started using canes, lactation stimulants, and even beer bottles."

Every night, Skarazim could hear Dotole's agonizing screams.

"........"

"Finally, he couldn't hold back any longer and pushed his adoptive father, Alza, off the roof with his own hands."

"........"

The church bells still toll daily at the appointed time. The thousand-year-old church stands strong, but its soul has begun to decay...

Al-Hysen read the novel to the end in one go, and he felt a sense of loss.

Through delicate writing and profound social insight, the novel uses the filth and decay of Notre Dame Cathedral to satirize the modern ecclesiastical church.

In reality, the Millennium Church has completely lost its original ideals.

Academic fraud, plagiarism, and political infighting permeated the Council of the Fathers, especially after Hazard became a Great Sage through despicable means, when corruption within the Council reached its peak.

Scholars no longer focus on academic research, but instead spend all their time thinking about fabricating data to get their utterly worthless academic papers published in journals.

Apart from the two sages, Nafis and Iskandar, who dared to oppose Hazard, no one else dared to voice a different opinion.

Because scholars who dared to express dissenting opinions were eventually exiled to Daocheng Forest for various reasons.

He looked up and saw that the sky had been dyed a dark yellow by the afterglow of the setting sun.

He gently closed the book and walked resolutely toward the desert.

Before reading this novel, he was neutral and did not have a clear opinion on the struggle between the Church and the gods.

However, this novel made him realize the true nature of the Church, and he decided to stand on the side of God and thwart the Church's plans.

At the same time, he had a premonition that this novel would definitely stir up a huge storm in Sumeru City.

Al-Hysen's hunch was correct.

A "Notre Dame" craze swept through the city of Sumeru, with people eagerly reading the book in almost every corner of the city.

The novel's content has sparked heated discussions and attracted much attention.

The person most discussed was undoubtedly Archbishop Arza.

The variety of tricks and props he used amazed and impressed people.

However, what is even more despicable is his despicable and perverse behavior behind the scenes.

This discussion is not limited to the plot and characters of the novel, but naturally extends into real life.

Many people automatically associate Archbishop Arza with the real-life Great Sage Hazard, forming the perception that Hazard is such a despicable and perverted person.

Some scholars even became so engrossed in the novel that they brought it into reality. In their indignation, they actually wrote a paper criticizing the great sage Hazar, questioning why he abused the sexy and hot Dotole.

The buzz sparked by this novel quickly caught the attention of the great sage, Hazar.

Sunlight streamed through the stained-glass windows into the Great Sage's office, casting a warm glow on the thick carpet, creating a scene that should have been peaceful and serene.

However, Hazard's face was ashen at this moment, and his hands were gripping a novel tightly, his knuckles white from the excessive force.

He had only flipped through two or three pages when the muscles in his face began to contort, his rage like a volcano about to erupt.

He suddenly stood up and violently tore the novel in his hand to shreds, the paper scattering everywhere, just like his angry mood at that moment.

His face contorted into a hideous grimace, his eyes turning bloodshot as if spitting fire. "Who dares to slander me like this? I will kill him, kill him!"

The instructor, Uday, stood to one side, head bowed, submissive and hesitant, even his breathing becoming cautious.

He had followed Hazard for many years, but he had never seen him lose his composure like this.

Seeing that Uday didn't reply, he cursed, "Useless!"

Then, Hazard strode out of his office.

He walked down the long corridor and arrived at the office of Grand Disciplinary Officer Seno.

He pushed open the door and stormed in angrily.

Sino's office was rather simple, containing almost no decorations other than some files. This contrasted sharply with Hazard's luxurious office.

When Hazard walked into the office, Seno was sitting in his seat, reading a novel.

His eyes lit up with rage at the sight of the novel in Seno's hand, the very book that had caused such a stir: The Hunchback of Notre Dame: The Corruption of the Archbishop.

He stormed up to Sino's desk, pointing at him and yelling, "How dare you read this kind of book! Have you forgotten your duties?" His voice was deafening, as if it would shake the entire office.

Seno looked up at the furious Hazard, his face expressionless. He waited quietly for Hazard's anger to subside before slowly speaking, "Great Sage, the beginning of this novel clearly states that it is purely fictional, and any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental. Although the protagonist's name is somewhat similar to yours, they are not entirely the same. More importantly, if you truly have no problems, then why are you so angry?"

Azar trembled with anger at Seno's words. "Fine, fine, fine, I see you don't want to do it anymore. Don't forget, according to the decree issued by the Council of the Church last year, the Disciplinary Officers must carry out the orders of the Great Sage. Otherwise, the Great Sage can dismiss the Disciplinary Officers at any time."

"The disciplinary officers did receive the injunction, but none of them approve of it, because it violates the principles upon which the ancient sages established the disciplinary system. We have already submitted a report to the Council of Sages regarding their refusal to comply," Seno said calmly.

"Hmph! Disciplinary officers who disobey my orders have no reason to exist!" After saying that, Hazard turned and left. He was going to immediately issue a decree in the void, and anyone who dared to oppose him would not have a good end.

After Hazard left, Sino's eyes grew even more determined. The disciplinary officer would always uphold his duty and would not yield to anyone.

He will judge all those who break the law justly, according to the six most ancient and fundamental sins, as will the great sage.

Chapter 137 The Influence of The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Continued)

In the heart of Sumeru City, at the Adventurers' Guild.

The receptionist, Catherine, sat at the counter as usual, but this time, she was holding a thick novel in her slender hands and reading it intently.

Bathed in the warm sunlight, Catherine's face appeared even whiter and more like jade. Her long hair cascaded gently over her shoulders, with a few strands playfully falling onto the pages of the book.

Her eyes were no longer empty and mechanical as before, but lively and profound, sparkling with the light of wisdom.

Catherine wasn't reading quickly; she seemed to be trying to understand the meaning of each sentence.

But soon, the novel's plot developed to the "locked room imprisonment" section, and as the villainous protagonist Alza began to take out props one by one, these touched on her blind spots in knowledge.

She instinctively felt that she should avoid the following plot, otherwise she might be corrupted by those "taboo knowledge".

However, as a goddess of wisdom, she should learn all knowledge.

After much internal struggle, she remembered the Great Tree King, which was her past life.

If it were her, she would probably bravely face this knowledge.

Nasita, you can't disgrace your past life as the Great Tree King! She mustered her courage and turned her gaze to the words.

"Alza lit a candle, and the hot wax flowed down Dotole's beautiful neck, down to her proud, snow-white breasts..."

what? !

Nasita felt that she was no longer clean.

Just then, a line of text appeared before her eyes: "The Church decrees that no one may sell, print, or read novels."

Then, the city's guards began to search house to house, and any novels they found, no matter what kind, were immediately destroyed.

The novel that Nasita possessed in Catherine's hands was also not spared.

Her consciousness returned to the Pure Goodness Palace. Naxi Da looked at the empty palace and sighed deeply.

I felt both regret for the great sage Hazard's reckless actions and regret that I couldn't watch the whole thing.

.......

Outside the Great Sage's office, Nafis's pent-up anger finally reached its peak. He disregarded his status, raised his foot, and kicked the ornate door hard.

With a loud bang, the door was kicked open, the sound echoing throughout the corridor.

He stormed into the office, his gaze immediately fixed on Hazard, who was sitting at his desk.

Hazard's expression changed slightly; he clearly hadn't expected Nafis to barge in so impulsively.

"Hazar, you son of a bitch, how many times have you issued a decree into the void without going through the Sages' Council?" Nafis shouted angrily.

Veins bulged on Hazar's forehead, and his face was ashen; he was clearly trying his best to suppress his emotions. "Nafis, this is a critical moment in the God-Making Project. As the Great Sage, I have the right to carry out this operation."

Upon hearing this, Nafis roared angrily: "You son of a bitch, Azar! The system established by the ancient sages is not something you can trample on at will. I am now going to impeach you in the name of the Sages of the Life Theory."

His voice echoed in the office, and spittle even splattered onto Hazard's face.

Hazard's expression gradually calmed down, and his gaze grew colder and colder. "You want to impeach me? Heh, what a joke. It seems you've lost your mind, Nafis."

"You're the one who's out of your mind! Your whole family is out of your mind! Go and convene a meeting of sages right now! I'm going to impeach you, you little bastard!"

“If you’re not thinking clearly, you should rest and recuperate.” At the same time, he opened the Void Terminal and said to the other end, “Udai, let’s move out.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than Uday led six guards into the office.

Six guards immediately stepped forward and subdued Nafis.

Nafis struggled desperately, cursing wildly, "You son of a bitch, you bastard... Waaah... Waaah..."

Uday simply stuffed a white cloth into his mouth.

"Uday, lock him in the coldest, dampest place in the church to calm him down and stop him from biting people like a mad dog. Also, arrest the Indoctrination sage Iskandar," Azhar ordered Uday.

Uday agreed and then left the Great Sage's office with Nafis.

Hazard sat quietly in his seat, watching Nafis's unwilling back as he was taken away, his heart filled with a sense of vengeful pleasure.
