At 13:30 in the afternoon, the group returned to the camp.
There are two main reasons why we don’t just go to another location to investigate.
First, before 14:00 in the afternoon, the VIP inspection team will officially arrive, and Sharon and Alyssa will rush back to the city.
Secondly, the red "spiritual grass" needs to be analyzed by professional personnel, and other materials collected must also be summarized.
Although Rean had been paddling in the early stages of the battle with the phantom beast, he still did everything he needed to do.
He took photos of the anomalies in the wisdom grass, the appearance of the phantom beasts, and the final annihilation of the phantom beasts. There were both appearance photos and detailed photos. Even if they did not reach the level of a professional photographer, they were not far behind.
This is mainly due to two old classmates who are engaged in related industries - Weiwei and Rex.
When the two of them met Rean, they both commissioned Rean to take photos of suitable places and pass them to them as material. Rean has always paid attention to them, and as time goes by, the photography skills will naturally increase.
Even the always picky Mihail gave it a very high evaluation, accepted all the orders, filed them directly as official documents, and called a meeting with all relevant personnel.
As soon as Randy and Tio saw the photo, they confirmed that it was the spiritual grass they had encountered - except for the color, everything else was exactly the same. It had extremely high spiritual power and could support the operation of the upper three attributes.
And Tova also officially confirmed that the phantom beast was the same type of phantom beast that appeared during the Civil War. She was the captain of Red Wing at the time. All the information was firmly remembered in her brain and she could speak out when needed.
Both Crossbell's independence and the Empire's civil war were inseparable from associations. Alyssa said without hesitation:
"Is there any way to artificially trigger 'association' in something like this?"
"The possibility is not zero." Sharon answered very frankly, "But I think the association is basically more inclined to pursue things beyond technology, using magical beasts with spiritual power like 'phantom beasts', or magical beasts from the Dark Ages. The resultant product, 'Magic Huangbing', doesn't feel like something a society would do."
"That's it, thank you."
If Sharon dares to say such a crucial thing, Alyssa dares to believe it and has absolute trust.
Of course, Rean is also a trusted member, because this thing is indeed not the work of the association, the association is just taking advantage of the situation.
Both of them said so, and Mihail, as the person with the highest responsibility, could only choose to believe it. After all, Sharon's identity was not a secret in the Intelligence Bureau and the Railway Gendarmerie.
Immediately afterwards, Altina put forward her own opinion-could it be the "Mistress of Zero" Chia Bannings who was on the run.
She is the source of the changes in Crossbell, and it is her power that allows the grass of wisdom to bloom throughout Crossbell. When something like this happens, she should be the first to think of her.
Of course, the Crossbell group was completely opposed to this. After the mutation ended, Qia had lost her power, and based on everyone's understanding of Qia, it was impossible for her to do such a thing.
Altina did not agree with this. Losing her power doesn't mean she can't be revived, and her personality has nothing to do with power. Maybe she is troubled by her gradually recovering power.
It is well-founded and irrefutable. After all, Qiya is also a wanted member and has been avoiding the intelligence agency's tracking and investigation.
It was confirmed that Qia lost her power a year and a half ago, and no one can say for sure now.
However, this reasonable inference was actually denied by Michael, because of the communication sent by the Governor's Palace before the meeting - regarding this incident, there is no need to doubt Bannings and others, requiring the premise of fantasy beasts and flowers or Other reasons are subject to investigation.
Yuna was relieved, but Kurt was confused.
Randy and Tio, who were sitting on the side, had their faces as deep as water, their eyes were watching their noses, their noses were watching their hearts, and they said nothing.
Seeing this, Rean was convinced that the "Birdcage Operation" had been successful. Except for the two people sitting next to him, everyone else was locked in Mithulam and could not move.
Coincidentally, just when we were talking about this topic, there was a unique roar of an engine overhead.
It is not a single engine, but an engine group composed of a large number of guidance engines. The resonant sound can be heard clearly even in a train with good sound insulation.
Looking across the entire empire, there is only one thing that uses an engine of this size - the empire's number one aircraft carrier, the super-crossbow-class battleship "Patan Guai".
It was originally the flagship of the "League of Nobles" rebels. It was handed over to the imperial government after the defeat. Now it is touring various places as the face of the empire, showing its power.
This time is no exception. Of course, the VIP inspection team must be treated like VIPs.
Having said that, because the battleship is too large to be docked in the city, it can only be suspended in mid-air, and then small ships are sent to take people to the top of the Orchid Tower to land.
This scene also evoked the psychological shadow of many residents of Crossbell - it was like this when the empire invaded. Patanguai blocked the sky, and the empire's flying ships and mecha soldiers descended from the sky and quickly occupied the entire Crossbell.
Of course, in the hearts of the imperial people, this is pride - who doesn't want their country to be strong?
Note: The fact of invasion is not discussed here.
In such an environment, members of the inspection team appeared one by one.
As the representative of the government, the head of the imperial capital, Karl Regnitz, was the first civilian-born administrator in the history of the empire and Machias's father.
As a representative of the financial world, Irina Linefort, the president of the Lineforte Group, single-handedly brought the group to its current position and is Alyssa's mother.
An old friend of the people of Crossbell, the representative of the imperial royal family, Olibat Leiser Arnall, visited Crossbell during the International Trade Conference two years ago.
In addition, Oribat's sister, Princess Elfine Lazer Anor, known as the "Empire's Treasure", went out for her first official inspection after entering the social world.
Following Elfin was her best friend and best friend, and Rean's baby sister, Alice Schwarzer - she was not introduced specifically, her identity was not enough.
This scene was broadcast live to the whole of Crossbell through broadcast trucks that were installed in various parts of the city in advance.
Machias and Reiner.
Linda and Betsy.
Boys and girls wearing oriental clothes.
A young man with white hair and a young woman with long silver-grey hair.
Regardless of whether they like it or not, no matter what their plans are, they are all watching this scene.
The Second Branch was no exception. All the students gathered in the dining car to watch the broadcast. From time to time, they could hear cheers of "Long live His Highness Alfin", which gradually dispersed until the broadcast ended.
Those who shouted this were mainly the imperial students, but the students from the prefectures and foreign countries felt differently.
When the broadcast ended, the meeting with Rean and others came to an end.
Tio, Alyssa and Sharon were also leaving, taking the maintenance vehicle that came with them.
Rean and the students walked all the way to the door of the maintenance vehicle.
Rean said goodbye to the three of them one by one:
"Director Tio, please be sure to complete that matter before tonight."
"I don't know why you would do such a thing, but if it's for... I'll take care of it anyway."
"Alyssa, please do that."
"I know. You must make time later. I have many things to ask you."
"Miss Sharon——"
"Master Li En, please rest assured, I will consider it carefully. And - most importantly, I, Sharon, can't repay Master Li En's kindness. I already belong to the Ryan Fult family in this life, so I can only use this method." To express my gratitude.”
Sharon said, bowing deeply to Rean again.
"No need to do this, I already said——"
Li En waved his hand quickly, but Sharon suddenly stood up, put her lips to the side of Li En's face and pressed it up close.
"chu——"
"!!!"
