Hearing this, the man in black robe sitting second on the right answered.
"possible."
The gray-robed prophet nodded, neither denying nor confirming.
"I feel that the probability of him taking action in this matter is very small, but it does not rule out that Zhenzhi Society paid a price that was enough to make him tempted."
At this time, the figure in the black robe in the second seat on the left shook his head, not very optimistic about this hypothesis.
"So, Gray Mist, what do you think?"
The man in black robe at the head of the right side of the long table spoke at this time, looking at the only real person present, but the voice was a somewhat neutral female voice.
"I can't speculate on his thoughts. After all, he is the only ninth-level prophet in the mainland. I don't know what he saw, and I can't determine the reasons and patterns of his actions."
The prophet known as Gray Mist shook his head and did not express any opinion on this.
"Like those strangers?"
The third man in black robe on the right asked aloud. As he spoke, his dark face turned slightly, and he glanced at the man in black robe at the end on the left as if unintentionally.
Others also glanced at him more or less. The latter was keenly aware of everyone's gaze, but did not say anything. He just touched his chest with one hand and gave a slight greeting to everyone.
"Almost, Dark Abyss, I think you can understand it this way."
In response to his question, Huiwu nodded casually.
"In the eyes of many people, the behavioral style of a prophet may be elusive. But in fact, it is just caused by seeing things that are far different."
"Just like an ordinary person suddenly learns that his house will be struck by lightning and catch fire tonight. Then he will immediately move his belongings outside the house.
And his neighbors don't know about this, and when they see this man moving indoor items outside in a panic, they think he is crazy or under witchcraft."
“They would not regret it until that night, when lightning struck the house and the house burst into flames, but by then it was too late.
To us, 'he' is like the only one who knows the news, and we are his neighbors who know nothing."
"Okay, Gray Fog, we understand what you mean."
At the head of the long table, the man in black robe with a dark gold emblem raised his hand gently, signaling everyone to quiet down.
Then, he looked at the man in black robe at the end on the left side of the long table, who had been the focus of everyone's attention.
"Zero, what do you think about this matter?"
Facing the invisible gazes of the leader and others, the man in black robes called "Zero" did not show any signs of nervousness. He just crossed his fingers and spoke calmly.
"First of all, I must explain that I don't have a deep understanding of high-level magic. Therefore, I will not analyze it from the perspective of magic."
"What I want to say is that you can actually think about it from another angle.
To achieve the effect of breaking through Lord Gray Fog's concealment without leaving any traces of spells, it does not necessarily require advanced prophetic magic, nor any other lost magic, but the existence of an internal ghost within our organization!"
Zero's words were like a depth bomb falling, causing everyone to burst into commotion.
It's not that no one has thought of this possibility. On the contrary, most of the people here have this idea in their minds, but no one has actually spoken it out.
"I know that there may be some high-level contracts in this world that can restrict betrayal, but I believe that you should also have ways to circumvent or lift the restrictions of these contracts."
Unlike others, Zero had no scruples about this, and even hinted, intentionally or unintentionally, that the mole might be among them.
"Of course, all of this is just my personal speculation. The specific possibilities are all up to you to judge for yourself. But I suggest that you might as well conduct an internal investigation of our organization."
Although the word used was 'everyone', Zero's eyes were always looking in the direction of the leader.
He sees very clearly that as long as his existence is beneficial to the leader and does not offend everyone, then there will always be a place for him here.
As for other people who dislike him and even do evil things?
As a player who doesn't care about level, this is what he is least afraid of!
"Let's put this topic aside for the time being. Whether it was the person who took action personally, or there was a ghost inside, or the other party used special magic items, it is not a problem that can be solved by simple discussion."
After glancing at the reactions of everyone present, the leader remained calm.
"Xing, how about leaving the investigation of the mole to you? I will temporarily grant you special permissions to mobilize all resources of the organization without restriction."
"Okay, Your Excellency, Chief."
Hearing this, the figure in the black robe at the top of the right nodded.
"Geymist, can you think of a way to solve the problem of prophecy? We don't want to be able to stop that person from snooping, but at least we want to be able to detect and warn in time."
Then, the leader's gaze turned to Gray Mist.
"There are some new ideas, perhaps through the method of destiny grafting, adding a false destiny mirror in the fog of interference. Even if it is breached, it can also serve as a disguise and early warning.
But this spell is not mature yet, and I’m afraid it still needs a period of development and research.”
The vague gray-robed prophet said calmly.
"good--"
The leader nodded.
"Then, before Gray Mist develops a new invisibility magic, could you please notify the other members remotely that you should not gather in person for the time being to prevent sudden attacks from the enemy."
"Now, since Gray Fog has launched the summons in advance, there is another thing that you need to know.
Due to the unexpected exposure of the Silver Wind City stronghold, the medium-sized nobles of the empire that we had previously contacted have become extremely suspicious and distrustful of us."
"The time for the Web of Destiny to change is almost here. We need to bring chaos to the Gloria Empire faster. Do you have any suggestions for this?"
As the leader finished speaking, everyone spoke one after another.
"How about continuing to support organizations such as the Secret Society of the Ascians and launching indiscriminate attacks on cities throughout the empire? As long as we don't go to the empire in person, the Ninth Order of the True Knowledge Society will be unable to do anything to us."
"Perhaps we can control some of the minor nobles to attack the students of the Professional Academy and create panic."
…
"Everyone, I have an idea."
After everyone gradually finished expressing their opinions, Zero suddenly spoke again, attracting everyone's attention.
"Have we not cooperated with the Secret Society of the Ascians before? I have also heard about their attacks on many large cities in the Gloria Empire recently."
"We might as well spread rumors among the people of the empire and say that the recent attacks are not attacks by the Secret Society of the Ascians as the official said, but a conspiracy by those high-level nobles!"
"They invented a non-existent organization, and in its name, they used the people at the bottom as sacrifices and experimental subjects to carry out all kinds of shameful and evil deeds, in order to incite conflicts between the upper and lower classes -"
Everyone has different opinions on his suggestion.
"What's the use of instigating a confrontation between the lower class and the upper class? Even if the lower class people gather in the entire city, isn't it easy for high-level professionals to suppress them with just a wave of their hands?"
It was still the third black-robed man on the right, "Dark Abyss", who spoke. He had long seen that he was only at the first level of strength, yet he was able to sneak into their meeting table and was not pleasing to the eye. However, he was unable to act due to the pressure from the leader.
When I saw an opportunity, I directly criticized him.
