Chapter 472: The Wind Rises at the End of Qingping
Since Gabbri's sudden defection, and Wyatt himself, who is president of the federal parliament, has grown in popularity for not retaliating indiscriminately.
Today's federal capital has undoubtedly returned to the calm it was before the Spring Festival.
As for the Hanging Mountain Corps, which had already put on a posture of admitting mistakes, since Gabry had acted as a cover to attract firepower, they were naturally forgotten for the time being, waiting for time to dilute everything.
Since the whole incident has actually been under Wyatt's control, the group of people who really did the Spring Festival have naturally been transferred out of the cloud area a long time ago, and it is impossible for anyone to catch any clues.
As for the special team that is still "in-depth" investigating, it is because of the final determination of the whole incident and the defeat of the Medici family in the confrontation, in fact, there is no reason to continue to explore.
Today's investigation team's only role is to refine the story on its own.
And when the Medici family has been forced to silence, neither the Corps, which is no longer being held accountable, nor the Sheriff's Office and the Executive Residence, which already hope for federal political stability, will not object to the end of the matter.
Therefore, after obtaining the "Holy Liquid" from Su Mu again, not to mention that Su Mu never appeared in the blood investigation team again, in fact, even Aiden, the commander of the Public Security Bureau, had secretly retired.
The shocking case that once attracted much attention has quietly withdrawn from the stage of history before the truth has been revealed.
The only thing left today is ...... It's just a conversation after dinner!
......
And as the Drake family gradually cooled down, Su Mu, who has now returned to the state of secret development, has naturally returned to the familiar classroom again.
"Thinking is the premise of the practice, and only after careful consideration can you continue to strengthen the areas that each of you needs most. β
But on the other hand, practice is also a necessary step after thinking, and if you just think without confirming the results of your thinking with practice, then the content of your thinking itself will become rigid and stupid. β
In fact, the truth in Su Mu's mouth is the simple sentence of Confucius Sage, "If you learn without thinking, you will be reckless, and if you think without learning, you will die." It can even be said that this is simply an exhortation that has long been abused by Su Mu's former middle school teachers.
But now, Su Mu obviously understands:
There are no really stupid celebrity quotes...... Only lazy humans who simply can't carry it out!
It is true that Su Mu's journey has indeed been too smooth. Especially after returning to the federation again, Su Mu became the envy of the entire federation.
Su Mu's fiancΓ©e is the most noble imperial princess on the mainland, Su Mu's academy tutor is the goddess in the hearts of the younger generation of the entire Federation, and as for Su Mu himself, he is a real idol of the Federation.
Not to mention, including the Mystery Society, the Alchemy Workshop, the restaurant on Yunbin Avenue, etc., each of which is an amazing achievement when taken out alone.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if Su Mu collapses, he will also have a decisive influence.
If...... Without hearing the news from Akamoz's mouth, with Su Mu's relaxed state of mind now, it was obvious that he was no longer as motivated as he once was.
But the news in Akamoz's mouth that night obviously gave Su Mu, who was slightly lazy, a wake-up call.
Although Su Mu's current achievements have allowed him to enjoy honor in a peaceful world, once the entire continent will face great changes, the only one who can resist that impact is ...... There is still only the purest power and strength!
Therefore, Su Mu had to speed up the speed of gathering people's hearts, so as to gather as many helpers as possible around him in the shortest possible time.
Therefore, Su Mu had to remind himself all the time that after all, he had not really entered the sequence of "strong", and he still had to improve his realm as soon as possible.
"In the next lesson, I have invited His Excellency Eleven Ilvan of the Academy to assist him, and I will challenge him head-on in the training ground, hoping that all of you will learn new ideas from the battle. β
After Su Mu finished speaking, he took a deep look at the students under the podium.
At this time, Su Mu had obviously figured it out, and although he could indeed win over the most loyal allies by simply relying on the means of seducing people's hearts, it was difficult to attract a large enough number of subordinates in a short period of time.
And what Su Mu needs now is not absolute loyalty at all, but the greatest support.
After all, in the face of that catastrophe, the more truly strong the Federation has, the greater the Federation will have in that shocking disaster, and the greater the capital that will not be turbulent.
"During my tenure, I'm going to try to find ways to make a breakthrough for everyone. But the corresponding price is ...... The power you have gained because of me must become a part of the Federation, and each of you must broaden your horizons!"
......
Su Mu's words, of course, were a little difficult for the students at the moment to understand.
Therefore, they were also a little dazed, and looked at Su Mu, who had suddenly become much stricter recently, and finally could only attribute the reason to Su Mu's apology to the Speaker's official residence.
After all, in the eyes of most people, the reason why there was a break between Su Mu and the Speaker's Mansion was actually because of Su Mu's misunderstanding about the bloody case.
And now that the truth has been revealed, Su Mu will naturally feel a little guilty in his heart.
However, although Su Mu was aware of everyone's misunderstanding at the first time, Su Mu did not give the slightest explanation, but let this atmosphere continue to ferment.
As long as he can maximize the overall strength of the Federation and let these people follow him as much as possible, Su Mu actually doesn't care about the misunderstanding at all.
Not to mention, an extremely bold act has also been secretly carried out by Su Mu.
Just as Speaker Wyatt judged, in fact, after the initial shock, Su Mu, who had calmed down, obviously thought of the same thing...... Regarding the news of the Abyss Tide, even if Emperor Longtuo is unwilling to make it public, and the Medici family is unwilling to make it public, Bastion, who even Su Mu can't see through, will definitely spread it secretly.
And compared to handing over the initiative to others, Su Mu is undoubtedly more willing to let everything be in his own hands.
"But spreading the news through the Taints, not to mention whether their role will be exposed prematurely, and even if the news is circulating from them, will it really make people really believe it?"
Su Mu had just returned to the office shared with Lu Xi, and Lu Xi, who was already waiting for Su Mu's return, had already asked questions very directly.
Obviously, Su Mu's final decision was to spread the astonishing disaster prophecy to the city of Skywo in advance through the Tainted Hand Party coordinated by Mark.
In the face of Lu Xi's doubts, Su Mu could only smile bitterly and shake his head at this moment, and replied a little helplessly:
"Actually, that's what worries me the most. Although it is not difficult to get the rumors to spread thoroughly, even we, who have the system of the Tainted Hands, are the most suitable party to spread the news. But even so, I don't have any idea whether people will be convinced of this message. β
"So far, all the characters on our faces are obviously not suitable to take the initiative to stand in the foreground. Although it is true that the sooner the news spreads, the better it will be for us. But the true source of that news is also completely cut off from us. β
"Otherwise...... Our sources will immediately become the biggest suspicion!"
Speaking of which, Su Mu also really had a headache.
"After all, the current decline of the Medici family is based on the conclusion of the bloody case, and once our capture of the blood moon spirit Arcamoz is exposed, everything will be overturned again. β
......
However, although Su Mu and Lu Xi have some concerns about the credibility of the news, in terms of the circulation of the news, the two have tacitly maintained the same determination.
Today, the city of Skywo has just calmed down the political turmoil that has been in place since the Spring Festival.
However, some bizarre rhetoric that is quietly circulating from the lowest crevices of society has re-emerged in the streets of the entire federal capital.
"Anyway...... Have you heard that rumor?"
In a civilian tavern in the back alley, a well-known tailor finally started the conversation after taking a sip of ale.
Whether it is the world that Su Mu used to be, or the fantasy world in front of him, after a whole day of labor, people like to brag and talk in groups.
And a place like a tavern is obviously a paradise for men.
Therefore, as soon as the tailor spoke, his companion, who was a recorder in a certain chamber of commerce, had already laughed at his mysteries unceremoniously, and said indifferently:
"Who doesn't know, isn't it just a rumor about the Abyssal Tide? Since the Epoch, there has been any real Abyss Rush, but it is just some alarmist talkers who tell the truth. β
The recorder's words are not bad, after all, the so-called Abyssal Frenzy has not happened since the Federation was actually established, but the rumors about the Abyssal Frenzy have never stopped. In addition, the source of the news does not seem to be credible, so people naturally subconsciously regard it as another rumor.
Fortunately, people's contemptuous attitude towards this news has also really accelerated the spread of this news.
People naturally don't have much awe of a piece of news that is not worth paying attention to, so of course this news has become the talk of daily chatter, and it has been spread among the crowd again and again.
Therefore, the previous tailor, his careful way of asking questions, immediately attracted the ridicule of his companions, and brought some joy to the tavern.
But it was at this moment, when everyone was laughing and toasting to each other.
A voice in the corner, but it sounded ethereally:
"Speaking of the abyssal frenzy, it is the recent series of decrees of the administrative mansion that makes people even more confused...... I don't know what the speaker is going to do?"
"The order that has just been issued today has added several taxes to the Speaker's Mansion and asked the government to fully support the military's stockpiling of weapons and food. It would be fine if the Speaker of the House of Representatives could really control the military, but now that we take the initiative to let the four major corps continue to grow, isn't it still our administrative system that is the most dangerous?"
The people in the tavern heard the sound and looked, only to find that the sound in the corner was made by two federal officials in uniform.
And after noticing everyone's attention, the two immediately changed the topic of discussion, and never mentioned the concern about the words just now.
However, although the speaker has no intention, the listeners around him do.
Although what the two administrators just discussed does seem extremely strange and incomprehensible, if you add a well-known premise:
"Could it be...... How much truth is there in that rumor about the abyssal frenzy?"
