Chapter 285 Reactions From All Parties
Originally, seeing that the voices of the people were extremely unfavorable to the high-level rulers, some small and medium-sized nobles were secretly happy.
But they didn't feel happy for long, and suddenly found that the fire seemed to burn themselves. They hurriedly tried to find a way to remedy the situation and try to turn the rumor back.
But unfortunately, their behavior was not as professional as Avis.
Avis not only arranged players to spread all kinds of rumors, but also sent a large number of low-level professionals to pretend to be the first and second types of people, that is, those who realized that there was someone else behind the scenes.
They began to stand on the high ground of IQ and despised those who still believed that the mastermind was the Olivendi family.
After being questioned and despised many times, many third-type people began to doubt whether they were really wrong.
However, although the response of these small and medium-sized nobles was not up to par, the Gate of the Eyes quickly reacted.
They sent their men to pretend to be rational, neutral and objective passing professionals, and in turn began to question whether the first and second types of people were brainwashed by the rulers.
Or maybe they just took the bounty from the Olivendi family and jumped out to whitewash them.
Being accused of being brainwashed for no reason, the first and second types of people were not willing to be outdone, and also accused the other party of receiving benefits from the mastermind behind the scenes, so they jumped out to throw dirty water on the ruler.
In the process, there were also many truly neutral professionals who were involved for no reason. They were sprayed for no reason, and suddenly turned black and joined one of the camps.
There were even some who were hot-tempered and fought on the spot, beating the other party's dog brains out and forcing a unified opinion.
In the process, the players had a lot of fun.
The scale covered the entire Karlas Province, and the super-large player event with tens of thousands of players participating was the first to appear after the server was opened.
After discovering that the support of the forces behind the two sides was disproportionate to the task rewards, most of the players jumped to the camp of the Secret Ceremony and began to unite to suppress the forces of the Gate of the Eye.
In particular, several large player guilds such as Light and Shadow, Dust Star, and Dragon City were the most active. Under the orderly organization of the top leaders in the guild, the contribution value of many players exceeded 2,000.
As a reward, Anvis gave several guild leaders the identity badges of senior members of the Secret Ceremony, and unlocked more high-level store item exchange rights.
With the continuous efforts of all parties, half a month passed quickly.
Due to the emergence of too many rumors, all kinds of voices in the province of Karlas became a mess, and the people themselves did not know which side to believe.
Similarly, no matter which side people are from, they can only stare blankly at the current situation.
The situation has gone beyond control. Even if new rumors are made, they will only be overwhelmed by more and more sensational rumors.
At the same time, seeing the special chaotic state of public opinion in the province of Karlas. Although the other three duke families are a little confused, this does not prevent them from following suit.
They also feel that these rumors that are spreading everywhere are annoying, but it is not easy to take coercive measures against too many people. They can only send the city guards to catch some of the main elements who spread the rumors.
But using this method to block the mouths of the people is naturally impossible, but it is easier to confirm the conspiracy theory.
Using magic to erase the memory of the people on a large scale is prone to various sequelae, which is not worth the loss in the long run. It is better to ignore it and let the people slowly forget it.
They dealt with the rumors in the past in this way, and the effect was satisfactory.
After all, the public's memory is short-lived. As long as there are no subsequent events, the influence of these rumors will soon disappear like other trivial matters.
The area affected by the rumors this time is much larger than before, but they still don't take it to heart and just treat it as an ordinary rumor.
However, since there is a better way to deal with it now, there is no need to continue to let it go.
In this chaotic situation, the Door in the Eyes wanted to use the monster attack to detonate the resentment of the lower-level professionals and target the four major families of the empire, but it was completely unsuccessful.
.
….….
The Kingdom of Itel Federation, in the Kingdom of Loran.
Deep underground in an unnamed rocky mountain, there is an ancient and dilapidated obsidian palace building. It seems that in the distant past, it was buried underground by a violent geological movement.
At this moment, in the center of the hall with strange murals, the projections of many black-robed people gathered together, but no one took the initiative to speak, and the scene was dead silent.
After a moment, the third person on the right, the projection of the black-robed person codenamed Dark Abyss, spoke carefully.
"The operation was not smooth. The Empire strengthened its defense. The secret meeting of the Shadowless and the multiple attacks of other organizations were discovered by the Empire's top leaders in advance.
There were only three times of real success, including two in Frey Province and one in Paravani Province."
Dark Abyss's words seemed to have opened the way. The fourth black-robed person on the right also spoke, but his voice was a neutral androgynous voice.
"My actions here are okay. I successfully arranged some small and medium-sized nobles who were controlled by me to attack the students of the major professional academies and put the responsibility on their families."
"However, the Empire is currently conducting a strict search. Some of my hidden pieces have been dug out, and the rest have been converted into a hidden state by me. It is not easy to move..."
"There is a problem here..."
Then, one by one, the black-robed people began to report the results of the operation. Some were successful, and some failed.
Listening to their reports, the leader's projected finger slowly tapped the tabletop, and no emotion could be seen on his dark face.
After a while, when all the people who were carrying out the mission had finished reporting, Gray Mist, who was at the first position on the left, slowly spoke and summarized the overall results of the operation.
"Overall, Zero's plan had the widest impact, but it still failed to achieve the expected results. I believe that the number of people related to the upper echelons of the empire in the attack was only about a quarter of the expected number."
"The lower echelons of the empire are indeed a bit chaotic, but this chaos has little impact on the upper echelons of the empire, and there is still a gap from the expected level."
When he finished summarizing, the hall fell into a brief silence again.
The leader's fingers tapping the table stopped, but he did not express any opinions at the first time, but turned to the chief on the right side of the long table who remained silent.
"Xing, report on the search for the inner ghost."
"Yes, leader. There is a person, and now we can be completely sure."
Xing nodded slightly, and then suddenly said something shocking.
"And, he is sitting between us now!"
This sentence triggered an explosive effect, and everyone was startled, and immediately looked at others with vigilance, as if the person next to them was the inner ghost.
However, most of the suspicious glances were directed at Zero. After all, his origins were the most mysterious here.
