Chapter 450: Chapter 295: Cleansing the Royal City_2

Just right, Royal City was now expanding its armament and was considerably lacking in resources.

Consider it a donation to the greatest cause of humanity.

Haha.

Rod soon arrived at the hall, where his instinct suddenly made him hold his breath and tiptoe.

He cautiously stepped into the hall and, sure enough, saw Chief Judge Moli himself.

He sat at the head of the table, his face somber.

"Although we have curbed that brat’s arrogant composure, the situation has already become irreversible. Royal City will inevitably turn towards expansion. The King’s new bill has already been implemented, all my properties have been severely damaged, and if the future battles turn unfavorable, it is possible that our family properties will be confiscated," he said.

A slightly younger man asked, "Father, what should we do now?"

"For now, we can only endure. I’ve moved the real assets to the underground vault. The moment we get a chance, we’ll try to disrupt the expansion. If we suffer a severe setback, it might force Royal City to stop this unwise action."

Afterward, they began discussing the specifics.

Like how to sabotage without leaving traces, how to mix corrupted expired potions into good healing potions, and how to wrap healing bandages with corrosive material.

When Royal City achieves victory, they discussed how to wildly praise the victors, elevating them so high as if tomorrow they would sweep through the Dark World and lead humanity back to the Bright Epoch.

When Royal City faces defeat, they planned to spread pessimism and despair everywhere, causing internal chaos.

And so on, and so forth.

Rod, hiding in the shadow of a pillar, had heard enough to know that this guy was definitely involved with sabotaging the expedition.

And the fact that they could speak so freely in this hall proved it was secure.

The evidence would definitely be found here.

As for the current conversation, Rod had recorded it also.

Although it was equally serious, without actual action, it wasn’t enough to completely uproot this family.

Rod pressed his hand to the ground and sought in his mind the long-sealed Book of the Past. With a thought, the pages started flipping loudly.

Scenes from the past appeared one after another before his eyes, various characters moving in and out of the frames. The discussions, although incredibly bold, were fundamentally no different from today’s conversation.

As he traced further back in time, the consumption of Spiritual Energy increased.

After more than a month, Rod began to feel the strain.

After two months, the consumption of Spiritual Energy suddenly spiked, like a cobra raising its head.

And after three months, for every day further he went back, the consumption of Spiritual Energy doubled.

At this rate, he couldn’t last much longer.

Just as Rod was getting anxious, he suddenly saw a scene.

In the scene, nine Chief Judges walked into the hall one after another, including the deceased Levill, Amoli, and Krama.

Levill was implicitly leading the group.

He sat at the head of the table and started talking about something.

Although there was no sound in the images from the Book of the Past, one could roughly discern his words from his lip movements.

—They were very concerned about the development of Star Town, anguished over the failure of the sabotage operations against Star Town, and were planning a deadly attack on Star Town, initially targeting the Aries Demon located a few hundred leagues from Star Town.

Rod’s spirit jolted and he immediately returned to the Dream Realm.

He went to the cabin, took out the Book of the Past from the shelf, and then took out the Recording Crystal.

He opened the Book of the Past, set the time, infused Spiritual Energy, and the scene appeared on the pages, clearly recorded by the Recording Crystal.

Rod played back the entire meeting process at five times the speed, together with the evidence collected earlier by the Internal Affairs Court in Star Town. This Recording Crystal was enough to send these six people and their families straight to the dungeons beneath Royal City and face the most severe punishment.

Good!

Mission accomplished!

Rod beamed with joy, feeling exhilarated. He rushed over and bit into the Book of Knowledge sitting nearby eating melon seeds, annoying it immensely.

"Act a bit like a master, will you? Just killing a few bugs, what’s there to be happy about? The previous masters were leaders of their times, standing at the forefront of epochs, superiorly powerful beings—their smallest troubles were tens of thousands times larger than yours..."

In a good mood, Rod didn’t even respond angrily but quickly returned to the material world.

The evidence was already in hand, but he didn’t leave immediately. Rather, per Chief Judge Moli’s previous words, he found his underground vault.

In front of the ultra-thick Black Iron door, a very exaggerated and complex lock hung before him, but Rod picked it open with just two fingers.

Inside the vault, it was filled with various rare minerals and materials.

If it had been before, Rod might not have taken them; frequent transitions to and from the Dream Realm were very damaging to his health.

But now, Rod used a single Dream Ritual to move the entire vault.

Haha.

That’ll teach them to frame me!

Consider it compensation for my mental distress!

Rod left Chief Judge Moli’s mansion satisfied, in search of the next lucky name on the list.

Thus, Royal City faced a profoundly extraordinary day.

Rod first plundered the residences of the remaining five Chief Judges, emptied their stockpiles, stole all their money. The Dream Realm, like a tornado, even swept away half the land.

The only slightly troublesome part was that the Dream Ritual could only target one item at a time; after transferring it inside, he had to transfer it back out before he could move another item.

Therefore, Rod had to return to his mansion after each robbery to store the acquired wealth in his basement.
