Chapter 275 Internal Struggle
"I can understand your doubts, Lord Anyuan. But for many things, directly using force is not the best solution."
Although Zero could sense the hostility in Abyss's words, he didn't care.
“Perhaps the majority of the lower-class people are indeed like you said. Even if they gather together, they cannot shake the nobles and high-ranking professionals who are high above them.
But with a large enough base, there will always be a very small number of them who, after going through various hardships, will have an adventure and become new strong people."
"At this point, they will inevitably seek revenge for the previous attack, which will sow the seeds of future unrest."
“Secondly, the reason why the nobility is the nobility is precisely because of the existence of these lower-class people.
The rulers may share your opinion, Lord Abyss, and do not take the spread of rumors seriously. After all, such rumors always appear after every similar disaster.
They may follow their previous approach and forcefully suppress these voices among the public and prohibit them from discussing them. Or they may simply not care and let these rumors disappear on their own.”
"But now, the timing is different. According to Lord Gray Mist's prediction, the biggest impact caused by the changes in the web of fate will occur in the empire.
At that time, when the attention of the top leaders was distracted by the incident, there was fertile soil for the growth of resistance organizations.
Therefore, as long as these rumors spread long enough and widely enough, in the end, there will definitely be some "just" professionals and nobles willing to stand up and speak for these attacked civilians.
Maybe he is a kind-hearted nobleman who has been blinded and betrayed his own class, or maybe he is a professional who was once persecuted by the nobles and wants revenge.
Perhaps they are small or medium-sized nobles who want to gather strength and try to erode the assets of the upper class to make their families further advanced.
But it doesn't matter. No matter what their purpose is, we can help them realize their dreams and let the different classes of the empire fight among themselves, so as to achieve the effect of making the empire completely chaotic.
After all, isn’t our organization the ‘Gate of Justice’—” ① At the end, Zero also made a cold joke.
Everyone understood what he meant. If not for the darkness on their faces, many of them would have looked strange.
"Forget it this time, but don't make such jokes next time, Zero."
The leader spoke in a deep voice, knocking him slightly.
"I'm so sorry, dear leader."
Zero bowed again to apologize. He seemed to have a special liking for the etiquette of this world.
"Okay, does anyone have any other comments?"
After knocking on Zero, the leader looked at the others again, but no one responded.
“In this case, the above proposals will be implemented simultaneously. Whoever proposed the proposal will be responsible for its implementation, and the required resources can be applied to the organization after the meeting.
As for Zero's suggestion, the Word of the Dead, Moon Shadow, and Web Weaver will be responsible for its implementation. How about that?"
"Can."
“Sorry, there was an accident in the underground world. The dark creatures deep underground suddenly showed large-scale unknown movements.
I need to discuss the guard matters with the dark elf matrons urgently, and I don't have the energy to deal with other matters for the time being."
The other two accepted the task very readily, but Speak of the Dead was unable to get away due to something else.
"Okay, then this matter will be handled by the three of you for now. If others want to participate, they can apply after the meeting."
The leader waved his hand.
"Then I declare this meeting closed—"
As he finished speaking, all the crystal balls flashed and the projections disappeared, leaving only Gray Wu still remaining in the empty hall.
But he did not leave immediately, but stood quietly beside the long table.
Six minutes later, the crystal balls of the mysterious leader and the first three seats on both sides of the long table lit up again.
"What do you think of Zero and his suggestion?"
After the images of everyone were condensed, the leader looked at the six people again.
Zero’s suggestions were not complex and were almost impossible to implement, but according to his analysis, the results were excellent.
"The suggestion is fine, but Chief, why must we allow this stranger with unknown origins to enter our meeting? I think he might be the mole!"
As the leader finished speaking, Abyss immediately started to complain.
"I also think that Zero is not trustworthy! After all, he is just a stranger, and all strangers are not trustworthy!"
At the same time, the shadow of the second black-robed man on the right spoke, also expressing his concern and rejection of Zero.
"But they do have a completely different mindset, and his suggestion, I think, is very feasible."
The third person in black robe on the left, however, expressed a different opinion.
“He’s a great person to observe and his advice alone is valuable.
Furthermore, he has no other permissions except being able to participate in the meeting remotely, and he doesn’t know the identities of any of us, so the chances of him being a mole are negligible.”
The second black-robed man on the left also expressed his opinion, thinking that Zero's problem was not serious.
"Xing, Gray Mist, what do you think?"
After listening to the opinions of the four people, the leader looked at the two chiefs on his left and right without commenting.
"I am even more curious about what kind of countries and systems their continent had before it sank. But unfortunately, no matter what method I use, I cannot predict the specific sinking point of their continent."
Gray Mist spoke with great interest.
"I think so."
Xing is concise and to the point.
"In that case, let's proceed as normal. Abyss, Traveler, you will also be responsible for assisting Xing and investigating the traitor."
The leader nodded and finally gave the order.
His subordinates had previously reported to him that this stranger who called himself Zero had tried to join them many times and had been persistent.
Members on missions tried to kill him more than once, but each time he was able to find members of the organization who were on attack missions out on the field through various means.
The leader was aroused by him, so a month ago, after the organization members reported the killing of Zero for the thirteenth time, the leader issued an order:
If you meet him again next time, take him to the designated place.
There, the leader met with him through remote projection.
This stranger, who was only at the first level, explained to him his analysis of the situation between the Empire and the Federation, and emphasized the information on which his inferences were based.
The leader pointed out the errors in Zero's basic information and provided him with more secret information, intending to see how far he could analyze it.
Relying on this information, Zero reanalyzed the situation on the spot, and based on the predictions made by the predictors in the organization, the accuracy of his analysis reached an astonishing 80%.
This really aroused the chief's interest in him, and he decided to give this stranger a special opportunity, a special seat in the high-level meeting.
The meeting just now was Zero's second participation. . ….….In the evening of the second day, in the imperial capital, Paloxia.
The Gloria Royal Opera House is located on the west side of the central city of the royal capital, and its history can be traced back to the early days of the founding of the empire.
Three emperors of the empire, including Gloria the Great, have come here to watch the performance in person.
①. In Gumani, the pronunciation of '瞳中' is somewhat similar to '司法'.
