My health recovery is incredibly fast.

啊这…那要是没有被罚款怎么办？0x2+0x2，还不等于0吗？怎么就那么肯定我会被罚款呢？明明我一直很遵守银月联邦和星夜王国的法律…呃…除了用血素仆从偷偷摸摸进入战士公会查看佣兵档案。不过这是血素仆从做的事，跟我有什么关系..

Xia Zuo scratched his head, deciding not to dwell on the amount of the fine.

He said through the monitor, "Okay, leave it to me. As long as I'm not in seclusion, you can contact me anytime to submit a report."

“Alright, it’s a deal then.” Letunia looked at Christo. “Later, I’ll have Christo bring you a gift as a deposit for entrusting you to deliver the whistleblower letter.”

That concludes the discussion on the whistleblower letter.

Later, Letunia and Simfia finalized a plan together. After the discussion session ended, the plan was submitted to the moderator.

The next step is the review process.

All group proposals must be reviewed by other groups.

Adanavardos used an alchemical instrument similar to a photocopier to make hundreds of copies of each group's plan, which were then distributed to those present by his alchemists.

Soon, a small mountain of documents had piled up on the table in front of Xia Zuo…

Fortunately, he had mastered the spell "Speed ​​Reading," otherwise it would have taken him several days to read dozens of documents.

The review session ended after one hour, followed by another discussion session that lasted two hours.

The topic of discussion this time shifted from our own group's proposal to the proposals of other groups.

Two undeniable facts were laid bare before Letunia and the others.

First, more than half of all the groups now explicitly support researching blood-activating drugs.

Secondly, the Pyromancer and Sand Mage groups, unsurprisingly, explicitly proposed restarting the artificial bloodline project. It's worth noting that many groups, while not explicitly stating it, also made their own assumptions about the feasibility of the artificial bloodline project in their proposals and expressed their support to some extent.

Therefore, the artificial bloodline project became imperative.

Letunia and Cinfia began to deduce the content of the report. They and a group of pure-blooded mages racked their brains to think of all the ways to circumvent the law, and planned in advance the personnel and work arrangements for collecting evidence.

During this process, Xia Zuo was very relaxed; he only needed to be an observer, listening and watching.

Later that day, in the dead of night in the Western Continent and in the early evening in the Eastern Continent, the meeting moved into the voting phase.

The research proposals for bloodline-enhancing drugs and the plan to restart the artificial bloodline project have been approved. The next step is to vote on the working plans of each group.

The pureblood mage group directly included the whistleblowing plan in their proposal and presented it to all participants.

This might seem like revealing your hand to others, but that's not actually the case.

In Letunia's words, "Those who implemented the artificial bloodline project must have anticipated the existence of whistleblowers. By publicly stating our position, we can make them behave as much as possible."

The voting process has now concluded. All group proposals have been approved.

The secrets surrounding the bloodline-enhancing drug have come to an end.

Adanavados walked to the center of the hall and addressed the surrounding jewels:

"There is one last item on the agenda for this meeting. It is classified as Top Secret. Those who do not have the right to access this information, please leave."

The projection of the precious pearl on the hall immediately disappeared, leaving only the inner temple monks and a small number of outer temple monks.

Xia Zuo's level of access to confidential information was top secret, so it was also kept.

After verifying the confidentiality levels of everyone present, Adanavaldos continued:

"This top-secret matter concerns our intelligence agents planted within the Church of the Otherworldly Demons. Basic information such as the identity, status, and current situation of these agents is known only to a very few individuals, who have voluntarily sealed their memories under the witness of the Creation Crystal."

"Now, please vote on whether to activate this intelligence agent to gather information about Black Flag. If the vote fails, the agent's basic information will remain blocked. If the vote passes, we will unlock the agent's basic information and contact him. The contact information is recorded in the basic information and is safe and quick. Once the agent is activated, we have a greater than 5% chance of obtaining top-secret information from within the Church of the Otherworld."

Before pressing the button on the vote counter, Adanavados added:

"Attention everyone, this intelligence agent is the only high-ranking one planted within the upper echelons of the Otherworldly Church. Once activated, he is highly likely to perish, meaning we will be unable to monitor the Church's upper echelons for the time being. The Demon Hunter School will assist the agent in escaping the anti-magic field. Our Alchemy School will then create a custom-made alchemical body for the returning agent, helping him to be reborn."

The Church of the Otherworldly Demons' urgency in searching for the Black Flag is evident to all.

With the exception of a small number of people who abstained, everyone else present voted in favor.

After thinking for a few minutes, Xia Zuo cast his vote in favor. He was also secretly eager to understand what the black flag was all about.

After the vote passed, Adanavardos pressed a button on the conference table.

A perfectly circular skylight appeared in the very center of the ceiling of the venue.

A transparent crystal fell through the skylight.

Adanavados reached out and caught the crystal, placed it on his forehead, closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, then opened them and said:

"Arrive at the Hall of Creation and prepare to unlock your memories. Those who have not heard the command should leave immediately."

Adanavardos pressed a button on the conference table.

Small, partition-like magical barriers separated the remaining participants, allowing them to see the condition of others.

Adanavados recalled obtaining the password from the crystal and then said:

"The coconut fish at the Raisman restaurant should cost at least 30 silver coins, but it's only 15 silver coins now, which is a great deal."

What the heck is this...? Xia Zuo's lips twitched... This command is too casual. It should at least be a poem, or a passage that sounds like it has a deeper meaning...

However, despite the complaints, the tasks still need to be done.

After confirming that he hadn't heard the command, Xia Zuo reached out and removed the monitoring orb from its base, thus eliminating the orb's projection within the venue.

Because of the magical barrier, he didn't know who had dispelled the orb projection or who was on their way to the Hall of Creation.

Thus, this busy meeting between the two halls came to an end.

It wasn't exactly an eye-opening experience, but it gave me a deeper understanding of how the temple works.

Deep within the temple, the struggle between people still exists.

His peaceful life in the past was solely due to his status as a pure-blooded mage.

Furthermore, from this day forward, the Temple Laws are no longer something that Xia Zuo cannot transgress. They also have considerable loopholes, especially when faced with the complexities of human nature. In many cases, the laws are as pale and powerless as secular laws.

Even so, he had no intention of overstepping the law.

.

Chapter 47 Unsealing Memories

Just as Xia Zuo was manipulating his elemental body to create an energy bomb at the edge of the starry sky, a crucial memory-unsealing ceremony was taking place in a secret chamber of the temple.

This secret chamber is circular. On the perfectly circular floor, which is over 20 meters in diameter, there are concentric circles of magic array patterns.

In the center of the room floated an octahedral crystal, pure white and lustrous. Its pure light rippled through the room like waves, evenly showering the five people sitting around it.

Rexor, Ceretus, a female mage, High-ranking decoder Kadum, and Adanavardos sat cross-legged on the five magic circle nodes.

Before them lay an inverted triangular vial of medicine, the liquid reflecting a gleam in the crystal light.

"Everyone, everyone's here," Rexor said in a deep voice. "I'll start by drinking the secret potion to unlock my sealed memories."

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Rexor picked up the potion bottle, drank it, and then entered into deep meditation.

About three minutes later, he suddenly opened his eyes, reached into his pocket and rummaged around for a while, pulling out a thick intelligence book.

He quickly flipped through the pages, reaching page 25. He first read the text on it, then turned to the back and looked at the contents of page 26.

"So that's how it is... No wonder I always felt something was missing when I read this part before..." Rexor muttered to himself.

Serites glanced sideways and noticed that the matter on page 25 was related to the fall of the Blood Demon Quarovich in Poseidon City, while page 26 recorded the incident of the Church of the Otherworld burning and killing civilians in Poseidon City and being wiped out by the Federation army.

At first glance, nothing seemed out of the ordinary, but upon seeing Rexor's appearance, Ceres felt that something was amiss.

Rexor snapped out of his reverie and glanced around. “Gentlemen, I’ve regained my memories. In these memories, I have the codename of that high-ranking intelligence officer in the Church of the Otherworldly Demons. His codename is ‘The Lone Peak of Tambus,’ and we can simply refer to him as ‘The Lone Peak.’”

Rexol put away the intelligence kit and continued:

"In the memories that have been unsealed, I have collaborated with him three times, and I can personally attest to his honor and loyalty. We will summarize the specific details of our collaborations once everyone's memories have been unsealed."

He looked at Serites and nodded to him.

Serites picked up the secret medicine and drank it all in one gulp.

After a brief pause in deep meditation, he opened his eyes, took out his intelligence collection, and looked at it with an expression of realization.

"The memories sealed here are 'Lone Peak's' original identity information," Serites said, closing the intelligence collection.

"He was originally a researcher at the biological research lab in Tambus State, a formal mage-level expert with a background in bioalchemy. Years ago, his parents, siblings, wife, and children were all killed by the Church of the Otherworld in the Tambus State massacre. During the reconstruction of Tambus State, he came into contact with the Otherworlders who attempted to sabotage the reconstruction. After communicating with the Temple, he decided to become a spy planted by the Temple within the Church of the Otherworld to avenge his loved ones. In the end, he became a hybrid mage as an intelligence agent."

Serrit paused, patted the cover of the intelligence collection, and said, "I have also worked with him three times, which is a testament to his honor and loyalty."

Serites looked at the female mage sitting to his left, "Selepolina, it's your turn."

Seresporina entered the secret chamber as the Lady of the Starry Night. She wore a dark blue robe adorned with star patterns, the ends of her long black hair were dark purple, and her face was shrouded in a hazy magical mist, making it difficult to see clearly.

Seresporina picked up the secret medicine, elegantly put it into her mouth, her fair neck twitched slightly, and she swallowed the medicine.

After a brief meditation, Seresporina said:

"The memories I unlocked are the spy information of 'Lone Peak'. His name in the Church of the Otherworldly Demons is Ufaris. He made a pact with blood demons such as Quarovich and Iboik, forming a high-level blood demon together."

Seresporina pondered for a few seconds. "He led three cults to attack Poseidon and the surrounding cities. The Federation army repelled them. As far as I remember, only Upharis escaped alive. He and a high-level elemental golem specially made by the Temple escaped the army's encirclement with the help of the Dark Chamber Overlord."

Seresporina looked at Kadum, who had octopus-like ears.

Kadum picked up the vial and poured the potion onto his arm.

A mouth covered in triangular fangs split open on his arm and drank all the medicine.

Kadum closed his eyes, then opened them again, his long, thin tongue tracing a line across his lips as he spoke:

"Hiss~ The memories I unlocked were the action orders given to 'Lone Peak' by the Holy Temple. The high-level elemental puppet he brought into the Church of the Otherworld was a specially made puppet with the bloodline of an artificial pure-blooded mage."

"At the request of 'Lone Peak' himself, the puppet was created using flesh alchemy, not elemental alchemy. It possesses human organs and flesh tissue, and a certain degree of human consciousness."

"The artificial pure-blood mage bloodline grants him the ability to cast blood magic. If everything goes smoothly for 'Lone Peak' in the Church of the Otherworldly Demons, he can use this puppet to become the deacon's assistant, second only to Nukalofa in rank, and take on the task of breaking the puppet."

Kadum paused for a moment, then added:

“I have never worked with him. But I have deciphered a lot of information about the Otherworldly Church that is related to him.”

He pointed to his head. "Here are the records of how I contacted him, as well as many of the communication records between him and the Witcher school."

Kadum looked at the last of the five.

After receiving a signal from him, Adanavardos drank the secret medicine.
