When the Internal Affairs Adjudication Office faced a crisis, their actions were extremely swift and precise.

A large number of adjudicators quickly mobilized, sealing off all elemental production factories and warehouses. The crows controlled all relevant personnel, and investigators traced the goods up the chain.

At the same time, the Anti-Curse Cursing Sect of the Holy Church, in conjunction with the Inspection Department of the Internal Affairs Adjudication Office, inspected all sunstones and elementals.

Under such a powerful operation, the incident was quickly resolved.

All contaminated sunstones originated from recent mineral supplies that were transported to the royal city. The problem lay in the middle of the transportation process.

All transportation teams had encountered strange attacks, with some undead monsters rushing towards them as if committing suicide. After being killed, they exploded into black gas, but it had no effect and no problems were detected afterwards.

The transportation teams reported the issue, but scholars believed it was a temporary phenomenon caused by some kind of monster mutation.

Now it seemed to be a form of contamination.

After precise and complex testing, the Anti-Curse Cursing Sect found a way to investigate this contamination.

Fortunately, most of the contaminated sunstones had not been used, and the few that were used were found and recovered in a timely manner.

Unfortunately, these sunstones and elementals had to be destroyed. The cost of cleaning up the contamination was too high, and it was not worth it. The only option was to destroy them.

The clergy of the Anti-Curse Cursing Sect believed that this was a highly concealed contamination, very peculiar, and possibly the work of a medium with a special soul trait.

They found traces of this contamination on the body of the deceased black priest, Selmie, and initially concluded that she was the culprit. However, her soul trait was nowhere to be found.

This was illogical, and related research was forbidden, except for one organization that was allowed to conduct it.

The Non-Human Voice of Karyl.

Therefore, this issue, along with the body of the black priest, was handed over to the past.

With this, the matter came to an end. Although it was impossible for it to endanger the Holy Fire through the Holy Fire Sacrificial Grounds, it could cause hundreds of thousands of spirit lamps to extinguish, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians and a major blow to the royal city.

And for this perfect resolution, Rode played an indispensable role. Within the investigators, he was even given the title of "Super Visionary," and the "Black Rice Bucket" received genuine recognition for the first time.

The spiritual vision provided by the Holy Fire was so exaggerated that it had reached an incomprehensible level.

The Mechanical Research Institute even considered changing the entire testing system for spiritual vision because of this.

The current system used the layered effect of the Mist Crystal Ball to calculate the level of spiritual vision, but it clearly had a limit and could not distinguish the difference between complete visionaries.

However, they had no idea how to change it.

The Kimberly Academy also received a new indicator. From now on, any student who was identified as a "Black Rice Bucket" would directly become a special student.

The Spiritual Energy Testing Laboratory of the Mechanical Research Institute was also ordered to make time for Rode's testing.

And the Great Library, responsible for recording all information, specifically opened a scroll for the "Black Rice Bucket."

So far, out of nearly 20,000 recorded soul traits, only 55 enjoyed this treatment.

Of these, only ten belonged to the Fire Seed trait.

It is worth mentioning that among these ten, the one ranked before the "Black Rice Bucket" was the "Golden King."

Rode had a slight objection to this.

They call a real rice bucket the "Golden King," even though it has nothing to do with it, but I am forced to become a rice bucket.

The researchers in the Mechanical Research Institute are really sick.

But this was ultimately a minor matter. What truly surprised Rode was that.

In order to commend his achievements in this matter, the royal city increased his authority, allowing him to freely move between the upper and lower districts, and rewarded him with a house in the upper district.

Rode's first reaction was that he had struck it rich.

He originally wanted to immediately sell this house, but he was rejected by the Upper District Government Office.

They told Rode that houses obtained through non-commercial means were not allowed to be bought or sold.

Fine.

If they don't sell, they don't sell.

At least he now had a base outside the academy, where he could have some privacy.

If there were any inconvenient matters in the future, he could do them in his own home.

But the bad news was that Rode couldn't make his "Soul Ashes" anymore.

The remaining forty-nine sunstones were all retrieved by the Internal Affairs Adjudication Office for destruction, and he couldn't lie and say that he was allowed to handle them.

The adjudicators told him that these things had to be destroyed collectively, and he even had to deal with one that had been bothering him for half a day.

If it weren't for Rode's great contributions, he might have been taken back as a suspicious person.

Rode's attempt to ask for fifty new sunstones was also firmly rejected.

The royal city had lost a large number of sunstones, and there was already a shortage of elementals in the near future. How could they give sunstones to individuals at this time?

Rode's mouth was almost worn out. Not only did he fail, but he also received a lot of criticism and education.

A large number of priests from the Holy Church came and took turns educating him on his thoughts and morals, telling him to have a broader perspective, to care about the overall situation of the royal city, to have a spirit of dedication, and to stop thinking about himself, and so on. Just when Rode thought it was hopeless, a bishop brought him ten sunstones.

He told Rode that if he completed the trait testing and had a genuine need for them, he could apply to the royal city.These ten pieces were given to him in advance, and if his fire seed trait doesn't particularly require sunstones, he would have to return them.

"The royal city system is quite humane," Rode said happily as he put away the sunstones.

Finally, he could produce normal "Soul Ashes".

However, he didn't rush to do it immediately, because the "Special Student Affairs Department" had sent a red armband to notify him.

The "Kimberly Special Student's Secret Forces Experimental Branch", jointly established by Kimberly Academy and Caliel's secret forces, was about to start operating, and he was asked to prepare his written report about himself as soon as possible.

Once the academy's branch forces began to operate, members would cancel all regular courses and patrol tasks, and receive specialized training at the Black Deller training ground.

Afterwards, they would jointly carry out official tasks with Caliel's secret forces.

Due to the requirements of the experiment, they had already been regarded as official combat personnel, listed in the official combat sequence.

The General Military Department would not consider their student attributes, but would arrange combat tasks for them according to the regular legion combat sequence.

Therefore, almost all tasks were outside the royal city, posing great danger.

All students must be fully prepared, and absolutely cannot face it with the mentality of "training", "practice", or "learning".

This is a deadly battle where everything is at stake, each battle is related to countless lives, related to the survival of Thalorian, and is fought to defend the future of mankind, for the flame to illuminate the earth.

Upon hearing such a stern warning, a thought suddenly popped into Rode's mind -

Could he have the chance to obtain the souls and ashes of stronger monsters?

Wouldn't the summons I create with their souls and ashes be stronger?

After studying for a while, Rode had a basic understanding of the invasion of the dream.

However, the language was too obscure, Rode didn't fully understand it, but one thing was certain.

The invaders seemed to become stronger the longer he stayed in an area.

So, Rode kept a few sunstones.

No matter how outrageous the academy is, the first mission wouldn't fail, right?

Taking a gamble sometimes is the real stability.
