Chapter 829 - 829 829 Thesis

Chapter 829: Chapter 829: Thesis Chapter 829: Chapter 829: Thesis Perugia City was less than two hundred kilometers from Holy City.

Through “Eye of Expedition”, barrier-free communication with the interior of Holy City could be achieved.

Details about the siege of Perugia were transmitted back to Holy City.

Including Mr. Black White and Kongriff Newton, the Wise Men and senior Prophets who stayed in Holy City gathered in the council hall, initiating an important meeting that could even decide whether the Big Expedition would continue or be suspended.

“The Old King slightly interfered before the battle, but his purpose remains unknown… What is certain is that the secrets of the Expeditionary Army were not leaked.”

Mmost importantly, the usability of “World Rule” was further confirmed.

It was decided through council deliberations that the “Big Expedition” would continue according to a phased plan.

“Those present may raise questions based on the experimental siege or make suggestions regarding the plans for the Big Expedition.”

Since the experiment yielded normal results,

most attendees had no comments and immediately signed to approve the proposal.

A participant sitting in the first row on the southeast side of the circular seats suddenly raised his hand.

“Mr. Black White, please speak.”

“I have no opinions regarding the plans for the Big Expedition.

However, I do have some suggestions regarding the management and security of Holy City during the ‘Big Expedition’ period… I wonder if I might propose them here.”

“The ‘Big Expedition’ is a collective action of all personnel in Holy City, and everything about the internal situation of Holy City can be discussed in this meeting.”

“Please allow me to present a document.”

Since abilities were prohibited inside the council hall,

a special document was handed over by the council assistant beside Mr. Black White to the ‘document display stand’.

Instantly, a true magic projection of this document appeared in front of all attendees.

It was more like a large paper on astrology than a report.

It involved some advanced astrological terms, not easily comprehensible even for experts in this field within a short time.

After obtaining the council’s consent, Mr. Black White started explaining the document.

“The ‘Big Expedition’ is thoroughly taken over top to bottom by the council, so I need not worry.

For a long time, I have directed my divination foresight towards the future of Holy City… I drafted this paper a week after the ‘Great Betrayer’ event finished.

The Chairman Stephen Maknovsky who was possessed by the ‘Mythical Variant Demon’.

Because he had an excellent ability to masquerade and was suspected by me when he had already taken the chairman’s position… I always considered him the biggest potential threat in the Holy City.

Therefore, I committed a grave error.”

While saying this, Mr. Black White pointed to an illustration in the paper.

“I used the ‘Great Betrayer’ event as a key point, limiting the timeline to three years before and after, and drew this ‘Star Energy Spectrum Diagram’.

You can see that the star energy spectrum’s trend was quite ‘turbulent’ three years ahead of the event, with the ‘chaos level’ and ‘potential impact factors’ of Holy City continuously increasing.

It means that while Stephen was in power, he was secretly scheming and arranging the ‘disintegration’ of Holy City.”

Mr. Black White then pointed to a node on the diagram.

“Through our relentless efforts, Chairman Stephen’s identity was exposed.

With the return of Captain Marlon, as well as the strong presence of Captain Alex, the ‘Mythical Variant Demon’ suffered irreparable damage to its Soul, completely escaping Holy City.

Subsequently, we also fully cleared the ‘internal network’ established by Stephen.

Although we cannot claim that every follower, including civilians, has been eliminated,

it’s certain that presently, all holders of power in Holy City, even the subordinate controllers of small organizations, are completely unrelated to Stephen.

Logically, the star energy spectrum should have gradually stabilized after the event ended… However, the ‘fluctuation’ still exists and has seen a significant increase recently.”

A councilor then spoke: “Mr. Black White,

The threats to Holy City have never been fully eradicated since its establishment.”

“After all, the Old King could attack the city at any time… A little ‘fluctuation’ should be normal, shouldn’t it?”

“Prosecutor Suls is right.

However, the energy spectrum I’ve drawn up is based solely on ‘inside the Holy City,’ completely excluding external factors.

In terms of ‘potential influencing factors,’ with the start of the Big Expedition, this index has risen to levels comparable to one year before the ‘Great Betrayer’ incident.

I predict there is someone lurking within the Holy City even more dangerous than Stephen Maknovsky.”

As soon as these words were spoken, many present drew in a sharp breath.

At this point, Newton raised his hand to join the conversation.

“I have some understanding of astrology. In the 3 minutes and 57 seconds while you were speaking, using an ‘auxiliary brain,’ I completed a full analysis of this paper.

According to Mr. Black White’s calculations, in about eight months, a devastating upheaval will break out inside the Holy City.

Am I right?”

“Yes, you are.”

“However, there are three ‘assumptions’ on which this conclusion is based. I won’t go into the minor assumptions.

I just want to confirm two things.

First, can Captain Hugo’s influence be completely ruled out?”

“No, but Captain Hugo’s presence won’t cause an increase in the factors.”

“Second, the involvement of five high-ranking captains in the Big Expedition leads to a ‘balance shift’ inside the Holy City.

Throughout this paper, this influencing factor hasn’t been fitted into the final energy spectrum curve… This would also have a significant impact, wouldn’t it?

The combination of these two points will inevitably increase the influencing factors.

Am I right?”

“Indeed, you are right.”

“That’s all I wanted to say, but Mr. Black White’s paper is significant and still worth everyone’s consideration.

Indeed, the security issues of the Holy City are no less critical than the Big Expedition, and must be treated with caution.”

Mr. Black White continued with his usual composure:

“Yes, Mr. Newton has raised the issue I was prepared to discuss last. This paper is not yet perfected enough for the Holy City to take corresponding measures.

That’s all I have to say; I hope the council will consider this matter carefully.”

The chairperson of the meeting affirmed,

“Hmm! After the meeting, we will scrutinize this paper, and we will also communicate in depth with Mr. Black White.

If we confirm any issues, we will initiate a ‘Power suspension’… conducting one-on-one investigations of every authority figure within the Holy City.”

The meeting concluded.

As Mr. Black White was leaving the council area and about to board the carriage outside the venue.

Mr. Newton, wearing a noble wig, suddenly approached, “Mr. Black White, may I have a moment of your time… I am very interested in your paper.”

“Of course.”

“Here’s the thing, my Mechanical God Sect has developed a High Efficiency Difference Machine.

The parameters not yet fitted in the paper, or rather, those that cannot be fitted, can be handled by the Difference Machine.”

“Oh?”

“If Mr. Black White is interested, you can come directly to the Mechanical God Sect to meet me… After all, my life’s work is intertwined with Steam City, and such crises must be cleared well in advance.”

“No problem, I will find time to meet with Mr. Newton soon.”

“By the way! I heard that Mr. Black White also has private dealings with Captain Hugo.

It would be best to bring Captain Hugo as well when adjusting all parameters… After all, not only Captain Hugo, but the Stone Slab stored in the Secret Museum is also a major issue.

That’s all I have to say, and thank you, Mr. Black White, for everything you’ve done for the Holy City.”
