Imperial Palace.
The king couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows. "What did you say?"
His eyes were staring at Sullivan and the researcher he brought.
The researcher, Simon, raised his head and said, "The aliens might actually be something that we should befriend with."
"Simon! Don't think that just because you are one of our court researchers, you can just say such a thing with no repercussions. Do you know how much the world has suffered from aliens?" The king asked.
"I understand your concern, Your Majesty. However, it's thanks to the information provided by the Frexia Academy that I manage to confirm it." Simon nodded with a serious expression.
Zack Flamante, Noelle's father, looked at Sullivan with a dark expression. "Father..." His grim face was as if he were asking what in the world he was trying to achieve.
"According to the Frexia Academy, creating a mutant is easy. You just need to find a good host for that alien. In that case, what is a good host? A summoner? A strong individual? I believe they are aiming for these people.
And every summoner in this world will be their target. Even if the Frexia Academy can fend for themselves, how about other academies or independent summoners?
"The scale of the enemy might have been bigger than anything in our imagination. That is my first point.
"My second point is the evolution of the enemy. According to two students, Nathan and Selena Ashton, this mutant is evolving at a high speed. At present, they are unable to talk, but in the future, it might be possible. When we don't know if the person in front of us is an enemy or an alien, that's when we're doomed.
When he heard the king's argument, he closed his eyes and nodded. "I understand. I was too rash."
The king waved his hand and continued, "However, as a king and as a human, I can accept your second suggestion. They have gone too far and will be regarded as our public enemy. Sullivan. It's about time you return from the front line and take on this mission. I want you to create a small investigation team and find out about them."
"I shall take this position and not disappoint you." Sullivan lowered his head.
"As for the third, it's actually linked to the first one. And the Frexia Academy's Sage has also suggested such a thing. And to my surprise, the pope seemed to have expressed his intention to join. With the pope helping us, it shouldn't be hard to bring them all together."
Even though the king didn't mention it, declaring this organization a public enemy would allow the Frexia Academy to handle their own matter more peacefully.
"However, make sure not to mention anything about befriending the alien for the time being. In this delicate time, if we mention it, there will be great unrest among the citizens or even other kingdoms.
"Simon. You are hereby fired from the court. Never call yourself a court researcher anymore." The king looked at Simon. Instead of getting angry, Simon was actually smiling. This was actually the chance for Simon to do research about the alien. In fact, he could just join Sullivan's investigation team to prove his point.
Once he was done, everything would be fine. In fact, he could get free resources by joining Sullivan's team.
"I thank Your Majesty for your grace for the last ten years. May the kingdom prosper." Simon lowered his head.
The king then turned to the rest of the people. "Other ministers. Make an adjustment in our kingdom for the necessary action against this organization."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"This is a delicate time. Make no mistake."
