Chapter 877: The Scent of Conspiracy (Part 2)

There is a high probability that Sabo kept his original name and is in the same camp as him.

Even if he didn’t, it doesn’t matter. This dream realm clearly revolves around this ascension.

Ulrich, as a Saint, has her responsibilities.

This ascension should not be as simple as imagined, and being able to violate the Saint’s code means something significant is about to happen.

[Information on Finance Officer Sabo William not found.]

As Zero’s voice sounded in his mind, Baiyi was not surprised. He instructed Zero to continue gathering information, and his actions became increasingly swift.

Buzz~ buzz~ buzz~

When Baiyi touched upon some deeper things.

The entire Quartermaster’s office suddenly surged with a red light, the buzzing alarm echoed throughout the building.

A series of powerful auras erupted, rapidly heading in this direction, with spiritual perceptions scanning the area.

Baiyi ignored them, silently and swiftly manipulating virtual code, beginning to crack and learn the firewall here.

The technological power here is much more advanced than the Alchemy of the Xia Era, or rather, much more advanced in the area of network traps.

Of course, it’s more likely that Baiyi’s research in this area is quite limited. After all, during the Xia Era, Alchemists focused more on aligning technology with weaponry.

Even AI, in the eyes of an Alchemist, was more of a supplementary tool.

Alchemists researched more on how to transform AI into higher-level data life forms.

Once they become life forms, most AI can perfect their own defenses since the essence of life is still learning and evolving.

However, this manually operated firewall is not difficult for an Alchemy Technology Sage.

As those auras approached, the alarm was already silenced by Baiyi.

At this point, the Quartermaster, recovering from confusion, nervously and cautiously ran to Baiyi’s side, with a somewhat trembling tone trying to persuade: “Judgement Envoy, your request is something I truly cannot fulfill. Those things are rewards meant for the war heroes by the King, if you tamper with it without permission, I’m afraid…”

“Afraid of what? Is my request really that unreasonable?” Baiyi slightly tilted his head, his eyes on the Light Side did not exert much pressure, but still caused the Quartermaster to tremble.

Baiyi did not know why this identity came here, but he wasn’t worried about ruining the identity.

After all, his combat abilities on the Dark Side had not been weakened.

In a Tier Eight World, he is definitely in the strongest echelon.

Even Kexi, before encountering that Forbidden Level King, could devour most life forms here.

Plus, Baiyi’s task was just to deliver the [Window Trading Contract] and [Saint Statue] to Ulrich.

There was no mission related to this Kingdom, hence the current reckless demeanor.

“Soul Crystal Core is a top strategic resource, it’s impossible to give you all of it. You can’t accomplish this even if you kill me.”

The Quartermaster said, looking at the large screen in front of Baiyi. First expressing astonishment and confusion, then recalling the oppressive charm felt at the beginning.

He lowered his head, continued: “The King understands you well. All the high-tier treasures this time are in the King’s hands. The King said he is your brother; anything you want can be taken directly from him. These are for the warriors, you are not allowed to mess around.”

“Understood, you may leave.” Baiyi waved his hand.

“But… alright!”

The Quartermaster hesitated a bit but then lowered his head and respectfully walked out.

Baiyi somewhat puzzledly glanced at the Quartermaster’s back, his brain rapidly thinking.

For a Tier Eight World, birthing a Taboo is extremely difficult. Many Tier Eight Worlds have numerous Tier Ten Legendaries but cannot birth any Taboos.

And having that King here is already impressive, Baiyi thought of himself as a guest-like outsider, but unexpectedly he turns out to be the younger brother of that King…

Zero then compiled all gathered data into a document, seeming to perceive his spiritual power fluctuation.

Some information was quickly extracted and transmitted to Baiyi’s mind.

[Complete data on Mr. Baiyi and Great Emperor Carl has been compiled.]

[Name: Feng Gesa Carl.

Character Identity: Uncrowned King of the Anaosai Empire, Sahari World.

Personal Achievements: Three hundred years ago, suddenly rose prominently, overthrew a vast empire reigning for tens of thousands of years and its rulers, became the ruler of the world.

Since Anaosai Calendar year 9, Great Emperor Carl repeatedly reformed imperial laws, swiftly advancing the empire from slavery into a new era within a century, among which….

Anaosai Calendar year 203, the technology-infused Anaosai Empire began entering the World Sea Alliance and started trading with multiple worlds, propelling the development of Anaosai Empire further.

Anaos Calendar year 303, the trade mission to various worlds began dying off en masse, Great Emperor Carl initiated accountability against those worlds and received abundant compensation.

… year 310, for seven years, the mission continued to die off en masse, Great Emperor Carl, after repeated warnings, issued a war mobilization. However, due to warnings from the World Sea Alliance, abandoned the idea of invasion but still received ample compensation, and numerous upper-tier individuals were executed to appease Carl’s fury.

… year 320, the persistent deaths of the mission enraged Great Emperor Carl beyond endurance, Prince Ji’an Baiyi led and ignored World Sea Alliance warnings, recklessly initiated war.

… year 325, World Sea mediation, Prince Ji’an returned to Anaos World, but the World Sea no longer obstructed this war.

… year 330, Great Emperor Carl once again modified laws, the battle merit system went online, warriors gain battle merits by killing enemies, which can be exchanged for military ranks, supreme treasures, and scarce resources, with generous compensations for those fallen, securing their posthumous affairs. War became something Transcendents in this world yearn for.

Current Anaos Calendar year 343.]

Baiyi paused for a moment, even though the reasoning for the war was quite forced, it was evident at a glance Anaos World wanted to start a war, concocting the situations.

But the two Taboos are indeed not weak, with enough support, such a situation could indeed become reality.

However, Great Emperor Carl seems… to have some substance…

Thinking, Baiyi looked at the next person’s data description, and paused, compared to Great Emperor Carl’s data, Baiyi’s data was pathetically scant.

[Name: Feng Gesa Baiyi. Task Identity: Prince Ji’an, Judgement Envoy, Great Emperor Carl’s younger brother. Character Introduction: Fifteen years ago sealed as Prince Ji’an, becoming the empire’s sole Prince. Twenty-three years ago destroyed a Tier Seven World, repelled World Sea Alliance’s inquiry Judgment Envoy. Nineteen years ago became a Judgement Envoy, overseeing the entire battlefield, repeatedly saving the situation.]

Baiyi sifted through keywords within the data Zero collected, the rest consisted of civilian discussion or censored speculations.

Most discussions showcased the power of one King, one Emperor, while censored content primarily contained conspiracy theories and ambiguous information.

For instance, Baiyi was actually Carl’s illegitimate child, or Carl had secret dealings with the World Sea Alliance, thus saving Baiyi, etc.

Most information was useless.

However, Baiyi noted some anomalies.

Continuing to operate, Baiyi withdrew his hand in a bit of speechless manner.

In the Dawn, the Quartermaster truly wielded power, with basic resources stored, even during urgent battle situations, could deploy vast resources without orders to support the battlefield.

However, the Chief Quartermaster of this world only needed to collect and filter requests from various battlefield quartermasters and directly report the valid ones to Carl for deciding on whether materials and support were needed.

Call them Quartermaster, they’re more akin to advanced scouts.

Standing up, Baiyi walked out, but this was quite troublesome, Great Emperor Carl would likely find obvious anomaly with Baiyi bothersome.

Just as he reached the door, a voice sounded beside his ear.

“Come to the Royal Palace.”

Baiyi: ….

Just as expected…

Upon pondering, Baiyi’s eyes turned scarlet, scanning the spatial structure. Baiyi took a step, the space was directly pierced, starting a rough teleport.

This seemed not a bad thing, directly accessing the core, more beneficial for completing the task.

Yet needed to be restrained a bit, Baiyi sensed the scent of conspiracy….
