Initial Conclusion of the Report:

The black resurrection tower still contained the Law of Immortality after being corrupted, proving that the enemies do not have enough power to eliminate or change the existence of the law. Thus, we can infer that the enemy is not at a level higher than Legend. That is considerably good news. Dawn Academy is unprepared to handle a Legend-ranked opponent.

However, the Law of Immortality was distorted. The enemy is very intelligent, they are unable to change the law, but used a mysterious power to forcibly distort the target for the law. If explained in terms of computer programming, the opponent added a strong virus in the program, corrupting the programming of the law.

We have analyzed the power, and with the help of historical information provided by Judge Academy, we have determined that the power is astrological in nature. Regretfully, astrology is the most mysterious branch of magic in Planet Norma and the academies all have limited research on it. As such, we decided to research the matter with the other academies, and have arrived at a horrifying conclusion.

The corruption is not yet complete. Even though we have no way to completely analyze it, currently all the data indicates that the corruption can be improved. The enemy was very rushed in the preparation of this corrupted resurrection tower, but it seems like the Normese are slowly understanding the importance of experimentation.

We have no way of anticipating the next steps of the enemy, but from the viewpoint of the researchers, if the corrupted resurrection towers are targeting our own people, then the next step we would take is to experiment on other people from Earth!

The most important pieces of data are still lacking from the black resurrection towers, which include the effects on a humans body and combat ability, and even what would happen if a person was forcibly linked with the dark resurrection towers and made to resurrect. We would never do these kinds of experiments, but we are unable to guarantee that our foes would have the same opinion.

This report has been sent to all embassies in the areas around Wildfire Town. All outbound diplomatic staff should take note of the matter. However, the report currently lacks enough verification, and the accuracy cannot be guaranteed, and so will not be allowed to be spread.

That was the last segment of the report. The entire room fell silent after reading it, leaving only the sound of the dancing flames on the lights to be heard. The dark resurrection tower in Wildfire Town had been covered up by the higher-ups quickly, so not many people knew a lot about it, and it did not cause that much of a commotion.

Most of those who knew about it did not fully believe it either. After all, they were not like Lilith and Xiao Lin who had witnessed the horrifying nature of the corrupted resurrection towers firsthand. Most of them had been living in the current status quo for a long time, and they had absolute faith in the resurrection towers.

That included those who were present, which was why they had been shocked by the report. It was even a report written by the specialists from various academies. Those specialists were nothing like the half-baked fakes on Earth; they were all genuine geniuses at the peaks of their fields.

So, youre saying that the enemy might want to capture us to experiment with? someone said uneasily. The report did speculate the possibility. If anyone wanted to capture the colonists to be experimented on, foreign envoys were the most appropriate. That was because the colonial territories all had stringent checks, and anyone remotely suspicious would find it hard to enter.

Even though the report emphasized that it was just a hypothesis by the researchers, with everything that had happened in the royal city, everyone understood the hypothesis was very probable.

The report was not clear on what the methods of experimentation would be, but as people from modern Earth, everyone had definitely watched movies. After reading the reports, images of various disgusting human experimentations flashed through their minds, so everyones faces naturally paled.

Xiao Lins expression was ugly as well, but what he focused on was different from the rest of them. After finishing, his gaze fell back on the word Astrology. Even on Planet Norma, very few people have ever mastered the study. However, looking back at the long history of the planet, there existed one true master of astrology: the old high priest, Asabanor!

Xiao Lin had already suspected that the old undying bastard had something to do with what was happening in the Rosa Kingdom, but now he was certain. That old man could even already be outside the city.

Thinking about his interactions with Asabanor, the crazy old man had really left a deep impression on Xiao Lin. He could not hold back and said, No matter what, we cant leave the city! Absolutely not!

Xiao Lin briefly told everyone about the general situation with Asabanor. Liang Taibai was not surprised, so he should already have had some information on it. However, there were quite a few who knew nothing of the high priest, and with the added weight of the report, everyone started to believe more in Xiao Lins words.

Liang Taibai sighed as a conclusion. I suddenly remembered the sneak attack on me a few days ago that cost me twenty years of my life. I think Asabanor might have planned it. The Argos clan was probably a chess piece of his, and he had probably planned on using Valen Argos as an internal spy to seize the city, turning the city into his experimental grounds. However, Xiao Lin foiled his plans, which is why we are being attacked.

The good news is that the current attack on the city was not planned by the enemy, which is why the assault last night had no siege equipment at all. It means that the enemy did not have enough preparations. The bad news is that we can no longer leave the city; the only choice is to defend it.

Then comes the last question: how will we defend the city?

Saying his piece, Liang Taibai threw the question back. Even if everyone was a foreign diplomat, they had still gone through many years of monthly examinations at Dawn Academy. They might not have been specialists, but they were no strangers to war, and had certain abilities.

What followed were purely military discussions. Xiao Lin felt like he had no room to speak on that since he did not hold a candle to those who had graduated after four years at the academy, so he got up and bid Liang Taibai farewell.

After leaving, Xiao Lin knocked on Ibeiyas door. He had been worried about the girls safety. Xiao Lin had already brought Ibeiya into the embassy to stay temporarily, and since everything had died down somewhat, Xiao Lin decided to visit her.
