Chapter 505: Discussion of Countermeasures by the Council of Seven Sages

While Tilan was studying at school, Alanna and the others were sorting out their gains and losses in the small base.

"We have gained something this time, at least we have touched the edge, but the other party must have noticed our actions, but we don't know how they will respond next."

Facing an unknown and powerful mysterious organization, the few people were inevitably a little uncertain, but they could only take one step at a time.

"In the next few days, I will contact the members who betrayed in other blocks. Although it is a betrayal, I know that their choice is not so firm, and there is a possibility of persuasion." Gern said.

"Be careful, I will also contact a few old friends and talk to them more." Alanna said.

"Okay."

Then the few people dispersed and started their own actions.

In the afternoon, Tilan returned to the mansion after finishing the course. It was already past 4 pm.

Sitting on the circular sofa in the side hall, the sunlight outside slanted in, it seemed very comfortable, and it made people feel like taking a nap.

Tilan sat at the junction of sunlight and shadow. A maid placed a bowl of green plum tea in front of her. It tasted very refreshing, with a slight tea fragrance and the sweet and sour taste of green plum.

"Is Ge Yin at home?" She thought of the girl who was here with her.

"Miss Ge Yin is in the bedroom." The maid talked about daily life.

"Did she go to class today?" Tilan looked at the courtyard plants outside the window where the sun was shining obliquely.

"She went, but she came back around 11 o'clock in the morning."

"It's so fast. It feels like we are not in the same school." Tilan said slightly complaining.

"Is it arranged like this in the schedule?"

"Yes, it seems that Miss Ge Yin has discussed with the school tutor and exempted many courses she knows."

"This child is really a genius." Tilan felt that even though she learned things very quickly, she was still not as efficient as Ge Yin.

In other words, if the Aijieka network is used well, it can indeed take advantage of the time difference between reality and the Internet and save a lot of time for learning knowledge.

When Tilan was communicating with the maids, a small meeting was also held deep in the Aijieka network.

The Seven Sages Council Hall.

Several figures with different appearances were sitting at the quaint round stone table. One of the seven seats was still empty, while the other six seats were occupied.

Ragdoll Bear: The Ghost Face Gang reported that Alanna has been very active recently, and the situation has gradually escalated.

Long-Handed Monkey: Those guys are more trouble than help. It is better to get rid of them directly, so as not to drag us down and expose more things.

Ragdoll Bear: It is rare to cultivate an organization that does shady work in Academy City, and it is also convenient to grasp the weaknesses and secrets of many large companies. It is a pity to abandon it like this.

Red Scimitar: You are still too hesitant. For people like the "Ghost Face Gang", their greatest competitiveness lies in the intelligence we provide, and other aspects can be replaced.

Red Scimitar: Some time ago, because of accidentally offending "Eluklu", the Ghost Face Gang was suppressed and lost a lot of strength. Now it has attracted the attention of the media and Alanna. Continuing to protect them will only lose more political relations. Why bother so much? Just change to a new organization for support.

...

Bluebird Mask: Okay, let's not rush this matter. Let's wait until the media heat subsides. Let's continue to discuss Alanna's matter. Old Skeleton, you have been responsible for handling the follow-up of the "Connector" before. This result is not what we want.

Old Skeleton: Everything went smoothly in the previous week. Alanna's mental state was also very depressed. She was also gradually hesitating. As long as it was delayed, she would slowly convince herself to give up.

Old Skeleton: But an accident happened in the middle.

After speaking, a projection of a young girl appeared in the space between the six people. She was wearing a casual and light dress and sitting at the front desk of the pet hospital.

Long-handed Monkey: Who is this? I don't recognize her.

Old Skeleton: Take another look.

After speaking, another projection appeared next to the projection. It was also a black-haired girl wearing a dark Gothic dress, dotted with black and blue roses, sitting on the throne. The appearance and figure of the two overlapped until they merged into one person.

Long-handed Monkey: Heshia Tilan, it turned out to be her.

Old Skeleton: That's right, this young lady suddenly broke in and disrupted many plans.

Old Skeleton: I had many invisible means to attack and delay Alana, but because of her appearance, I took them back and did not intervene rashly.

Ragdoll Bear: The singer must be secretly protected by the Inquisition. It is right to be cautious.

Long-Handed Monkey: With her here, doesn't it mean that we can only watch and cannot restrict Alana's actions, allowing her to regain control of the "Connector" organization.

Red Scimitar: Maybe this is the only way. Since she is here, the Inquisition has probably seen Alana and the others. It doesn't make much sense for us to continue.

Long-Handed Monkey: It's not good. The technology of the "Connector" has been taken over by the Inquisition or the authorities. That means that the Aegeka Network will also be subject to some kind of control. In the future, my various actions will not be as smooth as they are now.

Blue Bird Mask: That may not be the case. According to the confidentiality law related to the singer, unless Heshia Tilan takes the initiative to report the "Connector" to the authorities, the people of the Inquisition will only pretend not to see it if they see it. They will just record it and wait for the data to be decrypted a hundred years later.

Bluebird Mask: Their behavior is characterized as protection. If it is reported, it is equivalent to surveillance, which violates the spirit of the Charter and undermines the legitimacy of the Tribunal.

Red Scimitar: Will the people of the Tribunal really strictly abide by this kind of thing?

Ragdoll Bear: Well, you online mercenaries are used to intrigue and deception, so naturally you find it incredible, but the Tribunal attaches great importance to principles, and they will strictly abide by them. Otherwise, with their usual behavior, so many groups that have been offended and punished would have found various excuses to attack them.

Old Skeleton: There are many people who are jealous of the power of the Tribunal, but under the name of Her Highness Amyulalin, no one dares to refute the accusations openly. Although the principles set by Amyulalin are a kind of constraint, on the other hand, they also ensure the righteousness of the Tribunal, so that many politicians dare not make rash accusations.

Old Skeleton: The dumbest way to deal with the Inquisition is to fight head-on. The smarter way is to learn to use various rules to avoid their sight and sharp blades.

Long-Handed Monkey: Since the joining of that young lady will not cause the Inquisition to report, then why don't we take action? Anyway, the Inquisition already knows about it.

Ragdoll Bear: No, no, no, now they only know about the "Connector" and may not know much about our affairs. If we show a lot, it will attract their attention and let our existence slowly be illuminated from the shadows. Long

-Handed Monkey: This is not okay, that is not okay. What is your idea? Do you want to wait for Alana to take over the "Connector" again, and our previous behavior will become a joke. Then other peripheral organizations will also see it and think that the "Seven Sages Council" is completely useless, and then slowly leave and no longer obey the transfer order?

Blue Bird Mask: Don't be impatient. This little thing will not cause other peripheral organizations to change. If we just leave it alone, it is indeed a time bomb.

Blue Peacock Mask: Let's do it in many ways. There are always many ways to solve problems. Since Alana's biggest amulet is her status as a singer, let this halo slowly disappear. If the Inquisition pays attention to Heshia's existence, let Heshia, the singer, stay away from Alana.

Others: Madam is right.

Among the few people, Blue Peacock Mask represents some official power. Since she spoke up, she must have some plans and means.

Bluebird Mask: After that, you should send people to strictly monitor the people around Alanna to prevent them from contacting any big shots. At the same time, don't let them idle. Find something for them to do and let them run around. This will avoid a lot of trouble.

Several people nodded in succession, saying that they would arrange their men to do it. Finally, Bluebird Mask looked at Yinqingzhizuo, who had not spoken in the corner.

Bluebird Mask: Yinqing, don't you have anything to say?

Yinqingzhizuo: Not yet. I'm analyzing the technology of the "connector" and studying areas for improvement.

Bluebird Mask: This is good. Not everyone in the organization has to manage affairs. It's a good thing for you to concentrate on research. After all, this is the foundation.

After that, several people divided the work and negotiated for a while, and then the light and shadow gradually dimmed, and the conference room became empty again.

...

In the evening, Ge Yin, who had been in his bedroom for a long time, was pulled out by Tilan to have dinner together.

The two of them sat in the huge dining room. The long table that could seat dozens of people only had two sets of chairs and tableware, which seemed a bit empty. Fortunately, the neatly dressed maids on both sides filled the place with people, making it look very impressive, or luxurious.

"Do we really need so many people waiting here?" Tilan looked at the row of maids behind Ge Yin, and the row of maids in dark red rose dresses behind her.

"Sir Tilan, please don't mind." The leading maid stood up and answered.

"If we don't see Sir Tilan all the time, everyone will feel confused and uneasy, and dinner is a rare time for everyone to get together. Please understand, Your Highness Tilan." She said some kind of high-sounding reason.

As the owner of the mansion, Tilan spends most of her time either in class or outside the school. After returning home, she spends a lot of time alone and sleeping. If you think about it carefully, if it weren't for dinner, many maids might not see her once a month.

Well, Tilan couldn't find any reason to refute it for a while, so she just let them go.

"If you feel that you don't have enough time to spend together and rarely see me, you can practice diligently. I will check everyone's progress every once in a while."

Tilan thought about it and realized that she really had to find something for these maids to do. Now there was only Ge Yin in the mansion besides her, and there was not much to do. Instead of letting them wait for orders and waste their time and life, it would be better to let them study hard and improve themselves, so that when she was short of manpower in the future, she could ask them to help.

"Thank you, Your Highness Tilan, but I just want to ask Your Highness for something." Another maid stood up.

"What is it?" Tilan was curious.

"If you make progress in your practice, can Your Highness give you some kind of honorary reward?"

"That's it, don't worry, there will be no shortage of bonuses and resources." She nodded.

"It's not that, in fact, we don't lack money, but we need some kind of recognition..." The other two maids came out to explain.

As blood races with immortal blood, their lifespan may be slightly longer than that of elves. They have a lot of wealth passed down in their family, but they didn't have the protection of status before, so they didn't dare to show off or purchase assets.

"What we want is some kind of honorary status to distinguish ourselves from ordinary people of the same race." They said what they expected.

"This..." Tilan thought about it, and felt that these maids were really the diehards of the ancient True Red Royal Court. Each of them longed for that kind of environment with clear levels. If you tell them that everyone is equal, they will find it difficult to adapt.

"Okay, but I don't want those of you with high titles to oppress other companions."

"The beginners are called 'Broken Red Maids', and are required to have at least completed federal high school education and have a strength of Sequence 4 or above."

"The middle-level ones are called 'Embroidered Red Maids', and are required to have completed the on-campus education stage of a university, have a strength of Sequence 5 or above, and have a skill that they are good at."

"The advanced ones are called 'Rose Maids', and are required to have completed a complete education at a university, have a strength of Sequence 6 or above, and have an expert-level skill."

"The top-level ones are called 'True Red Gifts', and are required to be masters in a field, and have a strength of Sequence 7 or above."

"I think you should be satisfied with this. Isn't it clearer about the direction of future progress?" Tilan gave the title division they hoped for.

"Thank you, Your Highness Tilan. Everyone is very happy and likes it." Many maids looked at Tilan, almost with stars in their eyes. It seemed that the life that had been too idle for a long time had finally found its direction, full of expectations and motivation.

After that, the maids also had a small-scale discussion. It is estimated that from now on, the maid team will also be divided into levels, which will facilitate management and form a backbone. Otherwise, the responsibility will be too dispersed, resulting in no one being able to lead and care.

After seeing their situation, Tilan couldn't help but recall the history of the True Red Empire. In that era, the motivation of identity and rank was really brought into full play. It was almost telling all humans that as long as you have strength, you can get the title of the empire and become a senior official of the empire.

Of course, this is also related to the historical background. In the first era of the True Red Empire, humans have been competing with the orc mad tooth empire, which far outnumbers them. There is an urgent need for combat power. A high-level extraordinary person can protect a village and city, so it is naturally legal for a high-level extraordinary person to have a title.

In other words, the reason why equality is advocated nowadays is also because of the development of technology, which makes high-level extraordinary people no longer so invincible. At the same time, high-level extraordinary people also rely on various products produced by a large number of ordinary people, so a balance is gradually formed.

After dinner, Tilan and Ge Yin took a walk in the courtyard garden again. Tilan and Ge Yin talked about recent school events, and occasionally mentioned interesting things encountered while working.

"Did Tilan say that she met the singer named Alana?" Ge Yin asked in a low voice.

"Yes, what's the matter, has Ge Yin heard of it?" The girl felt that Ge Yin didn't listen to songs very much.

"Well, I've seen her news on the Internet." Ge Yin paused for a while.

"Does Tilan like Alana?" She spoke again.

"What kind of like are you talking about? If it's her singing, I do like her a little bit, and her personality is not bad." Tilan thought about it and commented.

Ge Yin didn't continue to talk after that, but Tilan felt that the girl with silver-green hair was not as calm as before.

"Is there something wrong?"

"Well, I'm a little hesitant whether to tell Tilan, but I'm also a little scared."

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid of some changes." Ge Yin replied.

"Then let's not talk about it for now." Tilan touched her head and comforted her softly.

"Since you are hesitating, it means you are not sure you can handle it now."

"Think about it carefully before deciding whether to tell me."

"Thank you Tilan."

Although she didn't say anything else, Ge Yin's calm heart still felt a little warm and dependent. This was a feeling she hadn't experienced for a long time. It seemed that the last time she experienced it was when she was very young. At that time, she was still with her mother, who taught her to knead mud by hand and bake interesting animal teacups.

Later, her mother gradually became anxious, and she gradually immersed herself in the online world and no longer confided in each other.
