Chapter 301: Chapter 69 Slap, Slap, Slap, The Face is

Swollen 2

Flanda, as the “spirit” of the “seed”, is like the embodiment of the World Mind, capable of understanding and digesting related knowledge by herself, rather than simply “copying” and “pasting” from Link, resulting in more effective outcomes.

One large, one small, one sound asleep, one studying.

Very comfortable.

Old Morpheus was on the move.

He took a detailed encrypted report with him, passing through a portal from the Rear Camp of the Desolate World to the forward base of the Fairy World.

After layers of notifications and numerous security checks, Morpheus was granted a one-on-one audience with Wizard Palo.

In the tent, Wizard Palo was still standing next to the holographic map, deep in thought.

Considering the sixth version of the third war campaign drawn up by the intelligence, Palo sensed Morpheus’s entrance. Without turning to face him, he asked:

“Speak up, what great matter do you insist on reporting privately?”

Morpheus replied loudly, “Regarding the fairy ‘plague’ and ‘aberrations,’ the Potion Department has made a significant discovery that could affect the entire battle situation. I hope that you can review it yourself.”

“Oh?”

Wizard Palo turned around, slightly curious, “What did that guy Link feed you to make you trust him so much to stake your own reputation on his behalf?”

Morpheus replied solemnly, “His research results are worth my endorsement.”

“Hmm.”

Wizard Palo nodded thoughtfully, then stretched out his hand, “Hand it over, let me see what he’s accomplished.”

“Yes.”

Morpheus immediately took out the encrypted new brainchip and handed it over with both hands.

Wizard Palo took the brainchip, input the password, unlocked it, opened the substantial detailed report, and started reading it at a glance.

“Interesting.”

Quickly finishing the report, Wizard Palo muttered to himself and began to contemplate.

Human energy is limited.

Problems like the fairy “disease” and “mutations”, given the chance, Palo could lightly research and arrive at a conclusion similar to Link’s.

But he was busy commanding army formations, reviewing battle plans, approving various applications, managing personnel adjustments, and dealing with the internal “opposition forces” of the academy. He simply had no time.

Theoretically, the Medical Department, which has the highest achievement in biology and medicine in the army, is largely composed of members trained by Serene Wizard.

They all have strength and talent; their skills are nothing short of impressive.

However, as a result of mass education, they lacked originality and are used to following conventional methods; lacking the mindset and courage to question authority.

The Chief of the Medical Department and the two deputy chiefs, after making the definitions of “plague” and “aberration”, proceeded to research based on these directions.

Not only did they do this themselves, but the instruction letters sent to various related agencies also used this phrasing.

This was a classic example of effort misguided, the more effort made, the more wrong the result.

At first, Link was misled by this approach as well.

But after Flanda’s reminder, he immediately questioned the conclusions of the Medical Department, resolutely overruled them, and started afresh.

Thus, comes a detailed report that almost slaps the face of the Medical Department.

Having pondered adequately, Wizard Palo made a decision.

“Get ready to make a brief report explaining the situation.”

After giving instructions to Morpheus, who was silently waiting at the side, Wizard Palo summoned the Head Steward and instructed him to convene an emergency meeting in twenty minutes.

Then, Palo turned back to the holographic map of the Fairy World, seemingly contemplating another adjustment to the sixth plan of the third campaign.

Morpheus dutifully followed the Head Steward out of the tent.

“What’s the matter? Can you disclose it?”

The Head Steward, who knew Morpheus well from many years of working side- by-side, was familiar with his character.

He knew that unless it was extremely important, Morpheus wouldn’t have requested a one-on-one report with Wizard Palo.

And the fact that Wizard Palo was calling for an emergency meeting after hearing Morpheus’s report further confirmed this.

The Head Steward hoped to get a hint of what was going on to better prepare for the meeting, such as informing certain people in advance or warning others…

Morpheus understood how the Head Steward worked. If it wasn’t critical, it wouldn’t hurt to tip the scales. But given Palo’s reaction, it was clear he was planning a major adjustment, possibly even the rearrangement of the third campaign. Under such circumstances, Morpheus certainly didn’t want to cause trouble for himself.

He was here to gain merit, not to curry favor with Wizard Palo.

Shaking his head, Morpheus politely declined, “I’m truly sorry, but it’s not convenient to divulge right now.”

“Hmm,” was the steward’s unaffected reply.

Declining to disclose is also a form of disclosure.

This matter is of great importance and must be dealt with carefully!

After dropping off Morpheus at the meeting room not far away, the Head Steward returned to his Attendant Room and issued a series of instructions for various department heads and deputies to attend an emergency meeting.

As for the meeting’s agenda, it was simply designated as “Top Secret.”

All the department heads and deputies busily preparing for the upcoming third campaign were taken aback by this unexpected notice but hurriedly put down their work and rushed to the conference room.

In no time, the conference room was filled with people.

The Medical Department’s Chief and the two deputies, who were overseeing the research on the fairy “disease” and “mutations”, were late due to having to change into protective clothing and sterilize.
