Chapter 453: Chapter 296: Bringing Light_2

As soon as the words were spoken, the entire crowd was abuzz.

"What did you say?"

"This is slander, framing, a setup!"

"We would never do such a thing!"

"Humanity’s bottom line must not be violated!"

The jeering and chastising continued unabated, but Rod remained unfazed, merely observing them as though he was watching a monkey show.

Amendo’s expression turned wooden, void of any emotion, yet Rod keenly noticed a flicker of surprise and delight in the depths of his eyes, and thought to himself that it seemed like the First Elder had long found them displeasing.

He also realized that, despite being quite disagreeable, Amendo was merely adhering to his stance. His differences with the King were merely about the future course of Trolian and not for personal gain.

The First Elder took the Recording Crystal, Spiritual Energy rising from his palm, and swept across the crystal.

His Spiritual Energy was not very strong, unlike the King’s Spiritual Energy that was like the blazing sun in the sky, but it gave off a sense of tenacious resilience, aging yet sturdy.

The Spiritual Energy swept over, confirmed there was nothing unusual with the crystal, then he infused his Spiritual Energy into it.

The crystal immediately lit up, displaying an image with several familiar figures conversing.

Although there was no sound, one could easily distinguish what was being said from their lip movements.

The picture within the Recording Crystal was incredibly clear, one could even see the fine ripples in the air. This left no room for misunderstanding of their words.

They were discussing how to destroy Star Town and kill Rod.

Suddenly, there were a few thudding sounds, as several people in the crowd collapsed to the ground.

A large clearing appeared around them in an instant, as if they were some untouchable beings.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "They are guilty! I knew they were guilty all along! I’ve separated myself from them!"

"Yes, yes, me too!"

"Me as well!"

A chorus of agreement erupted from the crowd.

Amendo said impassively, "Kraso, Gao’er, Toran, you have violated the laws of the Royal City. Fire Priest, take them to the underground prison, strip them of all their properties, and await trial."

Inside the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground, there was silence save for the roaring flames of the Holy Fire.

The Fire Priest clad in a fiery red robe flew in from afar and took away the people who had collapsed on the ground.

In this absolute silence, Rod produced two more Recording Crystals and smilingly handed them over.

"There’s more."

Amendo’s expression remained unchanged, but he reached for the crystals with remarkable speed.

Upon infusing Spiritual Energy once more, the projection showed two scenes that were absolutely fatal.

Four more people collapsed, and were taken away by the Fire Priest.

Rod then took out two more Recording Crystals.

The crowd grew more panicked, someone yelled, "Where did you get these from?"

"How could you... How is it that you just happened to record such crucial information? This is too abnormal!"

"Can the image be forged? Is it new technology from the Mechanical Research Institute?"

"Impossible!" an Elder objected, "The Mechanical Research Institute has had no such research projects recently."

"Perhaps it’s ancient technology he obtained in Star Town!"

Voices of skepticism came from all around, only to be drowned out by a surge of powerful Spiritual Energy.

The King’s gaze swept over, and he asked mildly, "Young Rod, can you explain their origins to prevent some people with ulterior motives from seeking excuses?"

With a spin of his eyes, Rod thought of an explanation.

"I have ignited a new Fire Spark, it allows me to see images from the past and record them in Recording Crystals."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire crowd was once again abuzz.

There were curses, leaps of exclamation, pale faces, and loud doubts.

"This is impossible, I have never heard of such a Fire Spark or characteristic!"

Rod shrugged, "Why not have someone from the Mechanical Research Institute examine them? I can also demonstrate for you on the spot."

Amendo said indifferently, "Notify Master Baldhead to come here in person."

As the head of the Mechanical Research Institute, the significance of Master Baldhead’s personal appearance was evident.

Several Fire Priests set off on their mission, and within moments, Master Baldhead arrived at the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground.

He first bowed deeply to the Holy Fire three times, before striding over and laughing heartily, "Young Rod, we meet again. How is the Condensed Light I personally crafted for you? Isn’t it mighty?"

Rod smiled, "Indeed, Master Baldhead, it’s been a great help, but I’ve run out of the Spirit Realm Bullets. I hope you can make some more for me."

"No problem!"

Master Baldhead laughed heartily, clearly in good spirits.

"It’s my greatest honor in this lifetime to be of help to a rising star of humanity. Ah, Your Majesty, First Elder, greetings to you."

Amendo was unconcerned by his ruggedness and said flatly, "Master Baldhead, begin your examination immediately. We need to know what his new Fire Spark is."

Master Baldhead agreed without hesitation and pulled out a soul-material Crystal from his pocket. No other instruments were needed; he placed one hand on the crystal and the other on Rod’s forehead.

A faint glow of Spiritual Energy emanated from him, the crystal shimmered with light, and a strange silhouette shifted continuously.

"Hmm, the seventh Fire Spark, quite, quite powerful. I can sense the savageness of ancient times, intense murderous intent, lofty expanses, mystical and magnificent is its characteristic, flexible and changeable its attribute."

"It seems to be related to the stars, spinning, stretching, moving. Oh, this must be a conduit. One end appears to connect to the distant past; the other to the distant future, and in between, there rise and fall countless grains of sand, like the hourglass of time."
