Lord Bommier sat there quietly, trying to pretend that he was a certain decoration in the room itself, and the imperial ruler sat opposite him, with a calm smile on his face that he could not see through. He heard the other party's voice: "Is the wanderer from the territory who claims to him or the name you gave him?

“In addition to showing strong spiritual power and showing those ‘memory fragments’, does he have any inhuman qualities?

"Have you ever contacted him head-on?"

Lord Bomeier licked his slightly dry lips and honestly answered Rosetta Augustus's question, but there were still not many things he could answer accurately. As a believer who was lured by knowledge, his class among the Eternal Sleepers was not high, and his secular identity could not be completely transformed into a position in the Order within the strict and mysterious sect, or in other words, the benefits that a "lord" could bring were not enough to make him climb to the middle level within the Eternal Sleepers, and a believer like him had limited his knowledge of the "outsider wanderer" to a small amount of public intelligence.

In fact, it was not until the order of the Great Quarter came down that he knew that the extraterritorial wanderers had penetrated into the spiritual network.

After the Lord poured out all the information in his stomach, Rosetta Augustus nodded slightly: "Yes, Bomeier, you made the right choice."

Bomeier hurriedly lowered his head: "Yes...yes, your majesty."

"But I'm still curious why you came to inform me," Rosetta looked at Bomier and asked casually, "You obviously know the risks, and even if you don't consider the sect's liquidation of the rebels, you, a Tifeng nobleman, fell into the Dark Sect, is a great sin in itself, but you came to me to confess all this. Why is this?"

Lord Bomeier raised his head and faced Rosetta Augustus' calm gaze with difficulty. He opened his mouth several times before he finally had the courage to organize his words: "Your Majesty, I joined the Eternal Sleeper just for secret knowledge, but I never thought of betraying you for this - I know that I am now unconvincing about these things, but if I have to choose between an indescribable demon and an empire, I still hope that I can die on the side of Tifeng..."

Lord Bomeier said, unable to help but feel bitter in his heart - many years ago, when he first came into contact with the mysterious knowledge of the Eternal Sleeper and mastered the powerful spiritual power, he never thought that he would fall so deeply in this darkness. There are more than one of the secret sects in this world. There are too many extraordinary groups of people who cannot bear the light to promote their strange and gloomy teachings and declare that they have a deal with the indescribable power, but most of them are just scams to lure the ignorant. He once thought that the Eternal Sleeper was just one of them, and felt that he was smart enough to get the knowledge and power he wanted in the Dark Sect, and would not fall into their fanatical and dark "thriller myth", but who knows...

Who knew they were actually playing the game, and that indescribable power came to the foreseeable moment!

Windsor Mapel looked at Lord Bomeier with a hint of pity and shook his head and said, "Too many people hold the same thoughts as you, Mr. Bomeier, who trusts their luck and 'carefulness' and thinks that knowledge and strength are at your fingertips, but they almost all pay high costs for it."

Thinking of the believers who had tried to whistle to the death before themselves, Lord Bomeier couldn't help but shudder: "I have deeply understood all this now."

"Bomeier, I will judge everything you do, including the sins you committed after you surrender to the Dark Sect, and the merits you made at this moment," said Rosetta Augustus. "And before that, I need you to do a lot of things, which may make up for your mistakes.

"As for now, you can go to the next room to rest - don't worry, Ms. Windsor Mapel can keep you safe. As long as you stay in the Obsidian Palace, you don't have to worry about your life."

Lord Bomeier stood up excitedly and bowed: "Thank you very much for your kindness, Your Majesty."

After the inner court noble left the reception room, only Rosetta and Windsor Mapel were left in the room. The royal maid with black hair and black dress had left at some point.

"Your Majesty," Windsor Mapel looked at Emperor Rosetta, "I have sent a message to the great magicians on duty of the Royal Mage Society, and ordered them to immediately transmit the information to the various sub-commissioned towers, so that all the strongholds of the association will start to search for the Eternal Sleepers."

"Very good. Also contact the district chief of Orlanda and ask him to investigate immediately," Rosetta nodded, "In addition, Bomeier does not have much information, and the eternal sleepers in various places should have begun to evacuate by this time. Most of the strongholds are empty. Therefore, the key to the search is to intercept the evacuated believers..."

"Their destination is Cecil," said Windsor Mapel. "The Cecils must have prepared to respond, and even... I'm afraid someone has crossed the border now."

"Issue a warning to the nearest messenger tower on the border, asking them to intercept and inspect all personnel and vehicles entering Cecil, especially the latest railway lines. They are also reminded that there must be a relatively powerful wizard in the inspection - the Eternal Sleeper Cultists have extraordinary power in the spiritual realm, and the sentry composed of ordinary people is very easy to be deceived and broken through..."

Rosetta said while thinking, and after arranging a series of border interception and inspections, he was silent for a moment.

"In addition, we need to draft a pledge announcement..."

Windsor Mapel subconsciously raised his eyebrows: "Announcement on Punishment?"

Rosetta nodded: "The Augustus family will pardon their past crimes for the rest of their past crimes, as long as they are willing to follow the order and no longer cause harm, the Royal Mage Society or the Imperial Manufacturing Society will consider accepting them."

"Your Majesty," Windsor Mapel couldn't help but say, "You really want to pardon those who sleep so easily? A Dark Sect on such a large scale, and to accept them into the Mage Society and the Workers Association... I'm afraid..."

"They were evacuating westward, and the Cecil Empire chose to accept them. Why do you think this is?" Rosetta interrupted Windsor, "Ms. Mapel, why do you think Gauven Cecil needs those sleepers?"

Windsor Mapel was instinctively confused and resisted just because of Rosetta's amazing command. At this time, she was reminded, and she suddenly showed a thoughtful look, and the clues gradually took shape in her mind: "...Gowen Cecil is a ruler, at least now, he will not accept them all simply because the sleeper is his 'family', unless it is beneficial to his rule..."

"The mind network... isn't it?" Rosetta said lightly, "Do you still remember the rune combinations we found in that 'magic network terminal'?"

Windsor Mapel's brows frowned a little bit.

"The Sleepers are not just a dark sect, they also have advanced technology. Perhaps from the beginning, Gowen Cecil took this to contact them," said Rosetta. "And what I regret most and regrets is that those Sleepers are just under my nose, but I am one step slower than him - it is the slow inherent thoughts and rigid eyes that have made us miss this treasure, but fortunately we still have a chance to remedy it now.

"Ms. Mapel, find a way to find a more effective means to block the spiritual network, find a way to completely remove the marks in the brain of the Eternal Sleeper, and then publish the news, saying that the Empire can save those who accidentally go astray. They are just bewitched by the Dark Sect and controlled by the curse and cannot escape. We can help them lift the curse. In this way, the resistance of all parties to the "Dark Sect" can be minimized, and many Eternal Sleeper who are unwilling to go to Cecil.

"Believe me, there are definitely many such people - Lord Bomeier is a typical example. Most of the sleepers are the people of Tifeng, and the ones who caused them to escape from Cecil. In addition to the command and deterrence of the 'outer vagabonds', a large part of the factor is that their identity as the Dark Cult will make them unable to gain a foothold in Tifeng. Now we give them a foothold and help them get rid of the threat of the outer vagabonds, and there will be many people who are willing to stay."

Windsor opened his mouth, with some doubts in his expression, but before she spoke, Rosetta continued: "Ms. Mapel, knowledge itself is innocent—or, even if some people think that some knowledge has ‘original sin’, we must master them for the benefit of the empire, because next to us is Cecil, and Cecil's ruler... has already walked ahead of us in many fields.

"We don't fight for some things, but others will occupy them. In this regard, the Cecils will not give us humbly."

Windsor nodded slowly—she had been convinced.

"My Majesty, I'm a little worried," she said, "if we make the news, the upper class of the Order of the Eternal Sleepers might take a very intense response - they are obviously loyal to the extraterritorial wanderers, and for the benefit of their masters, would they simply kill all the 'traitors' who did not evacuate and surrender to us? As a dark sect... they can do this."

"But they can't do it," Rosetta shook his head, "If they can still maintain the surveillance of every believer, then Lord Bomeier can't go to the Obsidian Palace at all. According to Bomeier's intelligence, this dark sect was also seriously hit in this incident. The "mind network" is obviously in a bad state at this moment, so there will be a series of whistleblowers who have successfully contacted outsiders. We just need to seize this gap and 'separate' as many believers who are willing to be loyal to the Empire from their network before the sleepers rebuild their psychic network, and our goal will be achieved."

"I understand, Your Majesty, I will arrange this matter immediately after I go back. With Lord Bommier as a reference, and we have successfully achieved the "blocking" here today, I believe I can find a more thorough "curse" solution - even if I can't find it for a while, I will lead the advanced mages to take action and keep more eternal sleepers as much as possible."

Rosetta nodded slightly and added: "In addition, we cannot passively wait for the surrenders. Many believers may miss opportunities out of fear and suspicion - this is exactly what I meant to let Lord Bommier leave. According to the list provided by the Lord, you arrange for the secret wizards to actively contact and control those believers who have not had time to escape, and then spread it to control all the believers of Aldernan as much as possible."

"Yes, your Majesty."

After all these arrangements, Rosetta breathed a long sigh, then he stood up and slowly walked to the crystal glass window beside him.

Outside the window, facing the inner courtyard of Obsidian Palace, several just-in-one lights dispelled the darkness and gloom in the courtyard. The magic barrier covering the entire courtyard made it warm as spring, and lush plants grew freely in the courtyard.

They have been lush all winter, and now spring is approaching, the barrier is about to close, and the flowers and plants in the courtyard will seamlessly usher in the next flower season - this is how the power of human intelligence fights against nature.

Rosetta knows that the Imperial Arts Association mages are working on ways to reduce the cost of such magic barriers, and several unique scholars believe this will help increase food production and maintain more fruit and vegetable supply in the cold winter, and this research has been going on for years.

Once successful, its effect may be no less than the "rich dust" technology that has been widely used.

And in Cecil, which is not very far away, there must be smart people who are paying attention to similar fields and conducting similar research.

They started many years later than Tifen, but they are making rapid progress in many fields.

Because the ruler of Cecil - no matter what is inside his body, a "outsider" or a certain Holy Spirit - has been spared no effort to gather talents, and even now, even the talents of Tiphon have begun to flow towards Cecil.

A sense of urgency hit Rosetta's heart, but made him smile.
