After Kallus obtained the status of a member of the Temple, he changed from a human being protected by a top-secret level to an ordinary member of the pure-blood mage camp.

His past deeds are still top secret, but he does not have top secret rights.

Since he has not contributed anything to the temple, his status is very low, lower than many alchemists who have just become high-level mage.

Under this circumstance, the participants of this meeting are no longer limited to the members of the two palaces with top-secret level knowledge, but have become a grand meeting open to participants of all levels.

Xia Zuo knew in his last life that human beings' joys and sorrows are not the same.

Especially when the audience for a tragedy increases from a dozen to hundreds, the ability to empathize among humans will drop sharply, replaced by almost heartless indifference, self-deemed reasonable rebuke, and everything else. Edicts and self-interest come first.

With more participants, there is another benefit for the mastermind behind the scenes: the pure-blood mage camp can hardly gain the recognition of other temple departments through personal speeches. They persuade one or more departments every time Sometimes, it is difficult to avoid harming the interests of other departments and attracting opposition.

Suffice it to say, getting a vote in person was as difficult as trying deep meditation for the first time.

The most critical thing is that as the initiator of this emergency meeting, the Bloodline Research Group is both a voter and a moderator. They have the right to decide who speaks and who stays silent in the name of maintaining order at the venue.

For Xia Zuo, this meeting was the darkest and most oppressive meeting he had ever experienced so far.

Those countless glass balls placed on the red velvet cushions are like long knives that have been polished extremely sharp. Each knife does not conceal its sharpness and ruthlessness. The tips of the knives are neatly inserted into the pure-blood mage In the hearts of every member of the camp.

Xia Zuo glanced at the venue.

No members of the Demon Hunting School were seen, and Rexall did not reply to the secret blood message.

Xia Zuo could sense that the bald head was not in nature, but should be in the gray horn sub-plane.

Without the strong assistance of the Demon Hunting School, the already one-sided situation became even more unbearable.

"Xia Zuo." Leitunya turned sideways and looked at the unhappy young pure-blood mage beside her, "Do you need me to come on stage later? I think you don't look good..."

"I'm fine, Leitunya." Xia Zuo twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled, "It's the first time I've faced such a lot of pressure. I think I can adapt to it soon."

"I believe you can."

Letunia said:

"All departments unite to besiege the pure-blood mage camp and must remove Kallus. This kind of scene is rare. To be honest, I have been a member of the temple for more than two thousand years. This is the first time I have seen this kind of situation. A battle? Definitely not more than three times."

Xia Zuo glanced at the glass balls in front of him, showed a sneer, and said self-deprecatingly:

"Yeah, it's a rare scene.

"But in human history, I'm afraid it has happened many times. Even if it only happens once every 500 years, it has happened no less than 40 times in the past tens of thousands of years. It is unimaginable that after so many years, human beings have really not done anything. Change.

"We live as individuals, think as individuals, but make decisions as a group. We can sacrifice any individual, but just because the one being sacrificed is not ourselves, we can stand on the sidelines indifferently."

Retunia sighed silently and said nothing.

Kristo and others next to Xia Zuo also fell silent.

Xia Zuo thought for a while and asked his companions, "If I choose to give up my speech later, will you accept it?"

He originally wanted to confront the bloodline research team, but now that he thought about it, he might as well save his energy and focus on investigating the mastermind behind the scenes.

The frustrated look of the pure-blood mage camp is very confusing and can completely cover up the fact that Xia Zuo has noticed the existence of the mastermind behind the scenes.

It's enough to skip the speech session and scan the whole room with angry eyes, without wasting words with the bloodline research team.

Leitunia and the others thought for a moment and nodded in response.

"Okay, that's settled." Xia Zuo sat up straight and looked directly at the bloodline research team sitting opposite.

The Bloodline Research Group is a very interesting research department.

Its initiators were Pyromancer and Sandmancer, and its initial members were mainly members of these two bloodline camps. The initial number of members did not exceed 30.

But today, it is not an exaggeration to say that the bloodline research team is called the bloodline research department.

Their number has risen to more than 500, and their members are a mixed bag. Pyromancers and sandmancers have become a minority, and more are alchemists, tower scholars, and warriors who have been transferred from various departments in the temple.

A large number of people means complex and diverse interpersonal relationships.

Every move of the Bloodline Research Group involves many, many departments, and has potential connections with more than three-quarters of the departments in the entire temple. It is a typical example of strength in numbers.

The supervisor of the bloodline research team is the pyromancer Tauwenset, a sturdy man with red hair, wearing a lean black tunic. His thick and powerful arms are exposed outside the short sleeves. The strong muscles make it difficult to move him. Connect with the Warlock.

But it was such a tall-looking man who became the leader of the bloodline research group and was in charge of hundreds of alchemists under his command.

Tauwenset relied on his own strength.

Pyromancers live on fire, or rather on the energy of fire to stay alive.

After the blood concentration reaches above 70%, the pyromancer's blood will boil and burn, burning away flesh and blood, bones, hair, and all internal organs.

In this life-burning flame, the pyromancer can either be reborn from the ashes and condense an energy body based on fire energy, or he can only turn into ashes and scatter in the wind.

Tauwenset has already accomplished this.

The muscle blocks and human skin seen now are just alchemical shells made of bionic alchemical materials. There are only flames beating all the time in his body and various alchemical devices that imitate human activities, such as the alchemical generator that emits human voices.

To some extent, Xia Zuo had met Tauwenset.

On the day that Xia Zuo went to the Mystic Woodland to participate in the test under Rexor's arrangement, the big fireball that appeared as [Incinerator Body] was controlled by Tauwenset and other pyromancers.

Tauwenset may have an impression of Xia Zuo at that time, or he may have investigated Xia Zuo's past.

Facing Xia Zuo's resentful gaze, Tauwenset responded with a gentle smile and nodded, elegantly and calmly, looking completely sure of victory.

When the person on the podium finished speaking, the speaker returned to the shape of a glass ball and flew back to his soft cushion.

Tauwenset stood up and walked from his seat to the podium.

"Now the pure-blood mage camp will take the stage to speak."

Xia Zuo sat on a chair, raised his right hand and pressed his fingers together, making a gesture of rejection, "We choose to skip the speech session."

"So..." Tauwenset looked around the audience, "Then, let's start voting. Please complete your vote within five minutes, and we will summarize the voting results later."

"Dang!" The all-metal door of the venue was knocked.

This is someone who got in mid-application.

Tauwenset's eyes vaguely glanced at the empty seats of the Demon Hunting School.

The all-metal door opened slowly under the control of the elemental servant, and Rexall walked in with a stern expression.

He nodded towards Xia Zuo and walked towards the podium under the gaze of everyone in the venue and the glass balls.

"I am here to attend the meeting on behalf of the Demon Hunting School. How far have you progressed? Is it my turn to speak?"

Tauwenset bowed slightly and said, "I'm sorry, Master Rexor. The Demon Hunting School's speech session has ended. According to the meeting procedures, a vote will now be held."

Rexor nodded, "Very good."

He took out the pendant from his neck, held it high and said to everyone:

"After this meeting, the Demon Hunting School will hold the second emergency meeting of the day. This meeting can only be attended by those with top-secret access rights."

Rexor stuffed the pendant back under the leather armor and continued:

"The second emergency meeting is related to Sodik Black Flag. The motion reviewed at the meeting is the motion that will be passed at this meeting."

The venue was a little noisy. After hearing Rexor's words, the glass balls used illusions to condense words and communicate.

Tauwenset frowned and asked:

"Master Rexor, in the previous meeting resolution, the relationship between Kallus and Sodik Black Flag has been severed. Do you want to overturn the previous resolution?"

"No." Rexor used a little magic to amplify and spread his magic to the entire place, suppressing the commotion at the scene.

He walked a few steps on the podium and said:

"Just one day ago, several colleagues and I handled a case related to Sodik Black Flag. We confirmed that the creatures separated by Sodik Black Flag present dangerous risks."

Rexor pointed towards the audience, his fingertips clicking on several seats one after another.

"Xia Zuo from the pure-blood mage camp, high-level codebreaker Kadum, resident mage Selina, diffraction detection master Lemon, and arcane mage Yaxut who cannot attend the meeting can all prove what I said. .”

Xia Zuo raised his hand and nodded towards Rexor.

Kadum, Selina, and Lemon also raised their arms and recognized Rexall's statement.

Rexall walked off the stage and sat down in his seat.

Tauwenset made eye contact with the deputy sitting below him, and seemed confused.

No wonder they are confused…

Rexor hadn't even had time to write a report on the several experiments he had done a day ago!

How could the participants of the two-hall meeting know about these experiments!

There is a time difference and information advantage.

If Rexor can use it well, he might be able to save Kallus.

Although he knew that Rexor did this to fulfill his duties as a demon hunter, Xia Zuo still used his blood connection to say thank you to the bald head.

‘Thank you, Master, for helping us out. ’

‘This is what we should do, Xia Zuo. ’ Rexor responded with blood induction, ‘I’m sorry, I’m late. It took some time to gather fellow witchers. ’

'No need to say sorry, Master. I'm very satisfied if you can come. ’

Tauwensett on the podium announced the opening of the vote.

Xia Zuo put an "X" on the parchment in front of him, and the other pure-blood mages also voted against it.

When it was the turn to vote, Xia Zuo found that several colleagues and teachers with whom he had good personal relationships had abstained from voting.

Professor Hillenberg of Ocean Alchemy, Selina, Kadum, Alchemy Mentor Adanavados, etc. all gave up their votes and were good friends with pure-blood mages such as Crystal. This is also true.

Xia Zuo felt a little bit of warmth.

It turns out that in addition to my companions from the pure-blood mage camp, I still have many friends in the temple.

Xia Zuo nodded and thanked them one by one.

At the end of the vote count in Tauwensett, 86% of the people voted in favor.

The bloodline research group's motion passed with a high vote.

From now on, the Templar stripped Kallus of his Templar membership, citing willful defiance of Inquisition scrutiny.

After this, a second emergency meeting was held.

The host changed from Tauwenset to Rexall.

The bald man asked the ignorant people to leave, then stood on the podium and took out a few image orbs.

"Everyone, the events I mentioned below all occurred within the past seven days."

Rexor activated the first Image Orb.

A huge picture was projected from the orb and suspended over the venue, allowing the surrounding participants to see clearly.

The picture shows a vast wall of flesh and purple-black clouds.

Xia Zuo recognized it. This was the day when Rexor and Yaxut led the team to install the alchemy bomb on the flesh wall.

It was on this day that Nuk'alofa lost his memory and went crazy.

The video was played back at twice the speed, while Rexall was dictating the incident.

At the moment when Nuk'alofa was beheaded by Yaksut, everyone in the venue and the glass ball suddenly realized:

The flesh-and-blood deacon of the Church of Strange Demons was caught by the temple!

Whispers resounded in the venue, with several people from the bloodline research team talking in low tones in disbelief.

Dozens of glass balls even floated up from the cushions, and came close to the video to watch carefully the scene of Nukoalov being beheaded.

Rexor activated several more image orbs.

These orbs are from Kadum's interrogation of Nukoalov.

From the residual brain in the culture tank, to the death row prisoner tied to a chair, to Xia Zuo discovering that Nukoalov has assigned himself a false personality

The entire interrogation process was recorded exactly as it was, except for Nukoalov's weird posture and the strange demon language spell, these two things were painted with a thick mosaic by Rexor

"It's obvious, everyone."

Rexor said loudly:

"If the person I brought in at that time was not the Xia Zuo who is sitting in the seat now, but the 'Xia Zuo' that Nuko'alofa said, that is, Kallus, then after Nuko'alofa cast the spell, the interrogation scene would not be the same. It will be as peaceful as the image orb shows, and a fierce battle is inevitable.

"I blurred Nukoalov's spellcasting, that's what I had to do. I know you very well what the effect of the strange spell is, and I can show it to you."

Rexor activated the last Image Orb.

An underground alchemy room appeared on the screen.

Subject Tallis is in a deep sleep.

Yaksut wrapped the experimental subject in a space-time container, obtained the spell from Kadum, and began to cast the spell.

Master Lemon used a diffraction array to capture the movement of life force, and then used illusion spells to depict the life force light group.

Several lines of extremely eye-catching alien demon text appeared in the space-time container, with the Temple Common Language as a translation:

"The 13th attempt to repay the goal...

"Attention! Thordick Black Flag has been detected dead!

"Return feeding is rejected!"

Tauwenset, Letunia and other people who were present in person all let out a cry of surprise.

"Sodik Black Flag is dead?"

"Is this real news? Is this information reliable?"

"What does refutation mean?"

Leitunya quickly recovered from the shock. She lowered her voice and asked Xia Zuo:

"In the matter you discussed with us before, was the content that you deliberately concealed the spell and the effect of the spell? You said, 'Suppose Sodik Black Flag is dead,' but he is actually dead. Right?"

"Yes." Xia Zuo nodded.
