So I'm guessing Held's adventure and the outcome of that experiment never entered public knowledge then. Or they don't think the temples are related?
I imagine Tobi will do the favor and the research will point her to either Zelmeyer, who ran the experiment (assuming he hasn't died of old age), or Held, probably the only one who actively wanted to return after what happened.

In page 3681, Theobold mentioned the royal court of Vallace decided to seal it as forbidden knowledge. However, The mysterious criminal Theobold was talking to also knows about the temple and the spirit world anyway. The GO might really be unaware of the temples, or Nero is just lying.

Honestly, this is win win for Nero. Not only does he get a favor done but he also gets someone to look over some research that is otherwise a dead end. Worst case scenario, Tobi does the favor and it costs him nothing. Best case scenario, Tobi does the favor and he gets some additional insight into something his researchers couldn't solve.
This probably is Tobi's best choice but she might want to work on some escape plans if things go wrong. This guy strikes me as someone who will end their dealings as soon as it is convenient for him to do so.

By all accounts, Zelmeyer and Held operate in a different region of the world, controlled by a different global power. It sounds quite unlikely that the Global Order has access to that research.
Else. A masterclass in persuasion by the president.
