Lord Bommayer sat there quietly, trying to pretend that he was some kind of decoration in this room itself, and the ruler of the empire sat opposite him, with a certain expression on his face that he couldn't see through. With a calm smile, he heard the other party's voice: "Wanderer outside the territory is the name he calls himself, or is it the name you gave him
"Aside from displaying great psychic powers and revealing those 'memory fragments', is there anything inhuman about him
"Have you ever had direct contact with him?"
Lord Bommyer licked his slightly dry lips, and answered Rosetta Augustus's question honestly, but there were still not many things he could answer accurately—as a believer who was seduced by knowledge and converted, His rank in the Eternal Sleeper is not high. In that strict and mysterious sect, his secular status cannot be completely transformed into a status in the sect. In other words, the benefits that a mere "lord" can bring are not enough In order to let him climb to the middle level inside the Eternal Sleeper, and a believer like him, his understanding of the "Wanderer outside the Territory" is limited to a small amount of public information.
In fact, he didn't know that the extraterrestrial rogue had infiltrated the psychic network until the order to evacuate came.
After the lord poured out all the information in his stomach, Rosetta Augustus nodded slightly: "Yes, Bomeier, you made the right choice."
Bomeier hurriedly lowered his head: "Yes... yes, Your Majesty."
"But I'm still curious, why did you come here to inform me?" Rosetta looked at Bomeier and asked seemingly casually, "You obviously know the risks involved, and even if you don't consider the cult's liquidation of the traitors , you—a Typhon noble, but fell into the dark sect, this matter itself is also a great crime, but you took the initiative to come and confess all this to me, why is that?"
Lord Bommyer raised his head and met Rosetta Augustus' calm gaze with difficulty. He opened his mouth a few times before finally having the courage to organize his words: "Your Majesty, I joined the Eternal Sleeper just for the sake of secrecy. knowledge, but I never thought of betraying you for it—I know that I am not convincing when I say this now, but if I have to choose between an indescribable demon god and an empire, I still hope that I can die in On Typhon's side..."
As Lord Bommier said, he couldn't help feeling bitter in his heart—many years ago, when he first came into contact with the mysterious knowledge of the Eternal Sleepers and mastered the powerful power of the mind, he never thought that he would be here. So deep in the darkness, the hidden sects in this world are not only the Eternal Sleepers, there are too many shady transcendental groups preaching their weird and gloomy teachings, announcing that they have deals with indescribable forces, but most of them They are all just a scam to lure the ignorant. He once thought that the Eternal Sleeper was just one of them, and felt that he was smart enough to get the knowledge and power he wanted from the dark sect, and he would not fall into their fanatical and dark world. "Thriller Myth", but who knows...
Who knew that they were actually playing for real, and that indescribable power came to them in a blink of an eye!
Windsor Mapel looked at Lord Bomile with a trace of pity, shook his head and said: "Too many people have the same idea as you, Mr. Bomile, this kind of person believes too much in their own luck and 'prudent' ’, thinking that knowledge and power would be at their fingertips if they were careful, but almost all of them paid a high price for it.”
Thinking of those believers who tried to inform and died before him, Lord Bommier couldn't help but shudder: "I deeply understand all this now."
"Bormel, I will judge everything you have done fairly, including the crimes you committed after turning to the dark sect, and the meritorious service you have done at this moment," Rosetta Augustus said, "Before that, I There's still a lot to do on your part that might make up for your mistakes.
"As for now, you can go to the next room to rest—don't worry, Ms. Windsor Maple can guarantee your safety. As long as you stay in the Obsidian Palace, you don't have to worry about your own life."
Lord Bommier stood up excitedly and bowed: "Thank you very much for your kindness, Your Majesty."
After the inner court nobleman left the reception room, there were only Rosetta and Windsor Mapel left in the room, and the royal head maid with black hair and black skirt had left at some point.
"Your Majesty," Windsor Mapel looked at Emperor Rosetta, "I have sent a summons to the on-duty grand magicians of the Royal Mages Association, ordering them to immediately send the information to the communication towers everywhere, so that the strongholds of the association can start hunting Followers of the Eternal Sleepers."
"Very good. In addition, contact the district chief of Orlandle and ask him to investigate immediately," Rosetta nodded. "Besides, Bomeier doesn't have much information, and the Eternal Sleepers in various places should have already started at this time. Evacuate, those strongholds are mostly empty, so the key to the search is to intercept those believers who are evacuating... "
"Their destination is Cecil," said Windsor Mapel. "The Cecil people must have made preparations to meet them, and even... I am afraid that some people have already crossed the border by now."
"Issued a warning to the communication tower closest to the border, asking them to intercept and inspect all people and vehicles entering Cecil, especially the latest railway lines, and remind them that a more powerful mage must be in charge during the inspection—Eternal Sleeper The believers have extraordinary power in the spiritual field, and the sentries formed by ordinary people are very easy to be deceived and break through... "
Rosetta was talking while thinking, and after arranging a series of border interception and inspection matters, he fell silent for a while.
"Also, we need to draw up a solicitation notice..."
Windsor Mapel raised her eyebrows subconsciously: "A solicitation announcement?"
Rosetta nodded: "For the Eternal Sleepers who are willing to return to normal society and willing to take the initiative to serve the empire, the Augustus family will pardon their past crimes, as long as they are willing to abide by order and no longer cause harm. The Association will consider accepting them."
"Your Majesty," Windsor Mapel couldn't help but said, "do you really want to pardon those eternal sleepers so easily? To pardon a dark sect on such a large scale, and to admit them into the Mage Association and the Craftsmanship Association... I am afraid… "
"They are evacuating to the west, and the Cecil Empire chose to accept them. Why do you think that is?" Rosetta interrupted Windsor, "Ms. Maple, why do you think Gawain Cecil needs those eternal sleeps?" By?"
Windsor Mapel was just instinctively confused and resisted by Rosetta's astonishing order. When she was reminded a little bit, she immediately showed a thoughtful look, and clues gradually formed in her mind: "... Gao Vin Cecil is a ruler, at least for now, and he will not accept them all simply because they are his 'followers', unless it is beneficial to his rule... "
"Psychic network... incredible technology, isn't it?" Rosetta said lightly, "Do you still remember those rune combinations we found in that 'Magic Net Terminal'?"
Windsor Mapel frowned a little bit.
"The Eternal Sleepers are not just a dark sect, they also have advanced technology. Perhaps from the very beginning, Gawain Cecil took a fancy to this before contacting them," Rosetta said, "and the most let me It is a pity and a pity that those eternal sleepers are right under my nose, but I am a step behind him-it is the dull inherent thinking and rigid vision that make us miss this treasure, but fortunately we have a remedy now Opportunity.
"Ms. Mapel, find a way to find a more effective way to block the mind network, find a way to completely remove the imprint in the brain of the eternal sleeper, and then announce the news, saying that the empire can save those who accidentally go astray , they were only bewitched by the dark sect and controlled by the curse, so we can help them lift the curse. In this way, the resistance of all parties to the 'dark sect' can be minimized, and many dissidents can be attracted. Willing to go to Cecil's Eternal Sleeper.
"Believe me, there are definitely many such people - Lord Bommyer is a typical example. Most of the Sleepers are Typhons, and what caused them to flee to Cecil was nothing but the orders and threats of the 'Extraterrestrial Wanderer' , a large part of the factor is that their status as dark cultists will make them unable to gain a foothold in Typhon, now we give them a foothold and help them get rid of the threat of wanderers outside the territory, there will be many people willing to stay."
Windsor opened her mouth, and there was still some doubt in her expression, but before she could speak, Rosetta continued: "Ms. Mapel, knowledge itself is innocent—or, even if someone thinks that certain knowledge has Original sin', we must also master them for the benefit of the Empire, because next to us is Cecil, and Cecil's ruler... has gone ahead of us in many areas.
"Some things, if we don't fight for them, others will occupy them. In this regard, the Cecilians will not tolerate us."
Windsor nodded slowly—she had been persuaded.
"Your Majesty, I'm a little worried," she said, "If we announce the news, the upper echelon of the Order of the Eternal Sleepers may take a very drastic response—they are obviously loyal to the wanderers outside the territory, and for the benefit of their master, they Will they simply kill all the 'traitors' who don't follow orders to evacuate and join us? As a dark sect... they can do such a thing."
"But they can't do it," Rosetta shook her head. "If they can still maintain the mind monitoring of every believer, then Lord Bommayer can't go to Obsidian Palace at all—according to Bommyer's information, this dark sect It was also severely hit by this incident. The state of the 'psychic network' is obviously very bad at the moment, so there will be successive whistleblowers successfully contacting outsiders. We just need to seize this gap and rebuild them in the eternal sleeper Our goal is achieved by 'separating' as many believers who are willing to pledge their allegiance to the Empire from their network before the psychic network."
"I understand, Your Majesty, I will arrange this matter as soon as I go back. With Lord Bomeier as a reference, and we have successfully achieved 'blocking' here today, I believe I can find a more thorough" Curse' solution—even if I can't find it for a while, I will lead the high-level mages to take action and keep as many eternal sleepers as possible."
Rosetta nodded slightly, and added: "In addition, we cannot passively wait for defectors. Many believers may miss the opportunity out of fear and doubt—this is exactly what I asked Lord Bomeier to stay. According to the Lord With the list provided, you arrange the mystics to take the initiative to contact and control those believers who have not had time to escape, and then spread it to try to control all the believers in Aldernan."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After making all these arrangements, Rosetta took a long breath, then he stood up, and walked slowly to the side of the crystal glass window.
The window was facing the inner courtyard of the Obsidian Palace. A few well-placed lights dispelled the darkness and gloom in the courtyard. The magic barrier covering the entire courtyard made it warm like spring, and there were lush plants growing wantonly in the courtyard.
They have flourished all winter, and now that spring is coming, the barrier is about to close, and the flowers and plants in the garden will usher in the next flowering season seamlessly—this is how the power of human intelligence fights against nature.
Rosetta knows that the mages of the Imperial Manufacturing Association are researching ways to reduce the cost of such magic barriers. Several scholars with unique vision believe that this will help increase food production and maintain more food in the cold winter. Fruit and vegetable supply, and research in this area, has been going on for several years.
If successful, it may be as useful as the "fertile dust" technique that is already widely used.
And in Cecil, which is not very far away, there must be smart people who are paying attention to similar fields and conducting similar research.
They started many years later than Typhon, but they made rapid progress in many fields.
Because that Cecil ruler—no matter what is in his body, whether it is an "extraterrestrial wanderer" or some kind of holy spirit—has been spared no effort to gather talents together, and even now, even Typhon Talent also began to flow towards Cecil.
A sense of urgency struck Rosetta's heart, but it made him smile.
This real and "alive" feeling is really pleasant.
