LIGHTNOVELSTORY Chapter 928: Direct Questions
[Eon's POV: ]
"How did you get all of this information? And if multiple people worked on this, why aren't they getting any kind of credits like they should?"
{ "The information of everything you see right now was gathered by me and individuals directly under me. There was no outside support. It was all prepared by us, as all the presentations in this conference are supposed to be, so there is no need to give any credits to anyone." }
In the first place, this was mostly my work, and Rein was the only one who had helped me with most of the things that they were seeing right now.
There was no one that helped us besides Celes, people that we can trust, and the individuals that we trust as much as our familiars.
It was not easy to gather all of this, it was most certainly not something we did just because it was fun, things were so complicated sometimes while we were gathering this information that many times we even had to look at the things multiple times to confirm the authenticity of the information.
"What is the proof that you were the only one to gather all of this?"
{ "The headmaster can back it up if you are worried about the authenticity but we will not be revealing our methods and sources." }
We were having a direct questioning session now since the kind of questions that they wanted to ask did not really have anything to do with their curiosity or the conference.
They just wanted to know about the answers and things, since they did not know much about many things that they were seeing.
Believing with proof was easy, but they had to confirm the authenticity of the information.
'I don't mind the questions that they are asking me. At least they were not fighting between themselves, yet.'
The questions were coming in the form of the chat through the headband device as well, so I had to answer those questions along with the direct questions.
"How did you get the footage that we are seeing?"
{ "A different device was used for the creation of these footages and that device is also our creation." }
"How are you maintaining all of this when the information in the pinned section states you need a great amount of mental power?"
{ "I have that great amount of mental power. But I also have my limits." }
They did not know what I was going through right now and they were better not knowing this pain.
This was not something even they will be able to handle, so I had no intention of selling this technology or its rights to people that cannot handle it just yet.
"How were you able to create the magic that is translating everything that you are saying to the various languages that we understand?"
{ "Those devices do not use any magic, the enchantments are only a coating. It is done with magic encoding. I created the code, encoded Origin language so the code directly translates it through the code, and the device interface projects it into the mind." }
This new revelation would be surprising to some, but it was merely a confirmation to those who had already guessed it by now.
There were people much, much smarter than me present in this hall so it was not going to be surprising that they figured out everything about all the things that we were using right now by the end of this conference.
I wanted to work with all of them and improve all of this and make it into things that all the people and even the common people could use to some degree, but we would have to postpone all of that to a much later date.
"What is the reason these evil cultists-."
{ "I have no idea why they do what they are doing as I have said many times. I am merely a presenting person right now. All that I know is before you." }
That was the truth.
I did not know everything about those individuals and I am not going to hide even the most minor detail that I know about those people.
"I have a question about Miss Atraxia."
{ "She is on the stage because I need her. You can ask the questions to me instead." }
She was not here to deal with these people.
If she wanted to, she would have presented a separate presentation about the impact of the demonic cultist on nature, but we integrated all that into this one presentation.
Time was limited and we were not going to waste it with the useless questions directed at her.
She had special eyes, she was smart, she was strong, and she had all right to be here on this stage since without her, most of this presentation might not even have been possible.
But explaining all that to these people will just waste all their time.
"What is the possibility that the information that you have shown until now could be manipulated?"
{ "We had considered the possibility, that is why that topic will be conveyed in the following parts of the presentation." }
The time to stop the questions was coming, but there were still some important questions that we had to take.
So, I looked at my mentor, the divine archer, who was holding one of the isolated seats, and nodded at him.
"I hope you are enjoying your break, but don't forget to keep practising what we created. As for the question, what will be the impact of these activities on the individual neutral powers of the world?
Will the island of magic's wealth, kingdom of North, or the forbidden zones containing the richest wildlife have any effect?"
{ "Yes, master. That is a very important question, and we will be addressing it in the later part of the presentation so I hope you can look forward to it." }
He was indirectly announcing there was some kind of connection between us. He did not say it directly, but if the strongest archer, and one of the best knights of the world was being so friendly with someone, then it only meant there was something deep going on between the two of them.
{ "Next…" }
And he was not the only one.
There were many people that openly announced our acquaintance.
Declaring they knew me in some way was a form of establishing how we had their indirect backing as well as what might come out of messing with us at least in this conference.
It was also burdening us, since even if they were doing it for their own gains, they were putting us in somewhat of a complicated position.
If the others that we did not have any connection with at all also started doing the same, we won't be able to say anything against them outside of this conference. Explore stories on empire
And, there were some people I wanted to make connections with… some people that otherwise did not want anything to do with anyone present in this conference, not even the headmaster, or even the strong people like my mentor or Rein's.
"I think we should stop here. It has been over an hour." the headmaster announced with a suggestive voice.
I was sweating even though there was temperature controlling magic installed everywhere here. And the reason for that was an excessive use of mental stamina.
I was not only answering their questions rapidly, I was also using the message windows to answer the questions that were not being asked openly.
And if I say so myself, these hidden questions were much more important and impactful than the rest of the stuff that they were asking.
[{ "He's helping you once again." }]
[{ "I know it's bad, but he must have put us at the end to do exactly this. He wants to establish the fact that I have his direct backing, even though he does not have to do it." }]
[{ "He's being reckless." }]
[{ "Or there might be something deeper. Let's see what happens." }]
We did not know why the headmaster was showing off so much, but the fact that he was supporting us could also be connected with how this topic was the most concerning to him.
There might just be something more to this, but we did not know much about that just yet.
{ "Then… let us move on and talk about the current ongoing activities of these demonic cultists in the world." }
-Snap.
I snapped, and the view that everyone was seeing changed completely.
{ "As we talked earlier, the dots that you see will show the power levels of the cult members." }
A world map appeared around us.
It was a three dimensional recreation of the planet actually, something not most of them might have seen before.
And, this was more detailed than most of them might have ever witnessed directly.
{ "As we know until now, they are present in practically all nations in one way or another." }
The planet was moving with all the nations highlighted.
There were various dots present all around this 'globe' and many of them were saturated in mostly the important cities, towns, and resource lands of the various nations.
There were some activities of these individuals in places that were far from the human civilizations as well, and from our predictions, some of them were their base.
'The satellite that we have in space isn't the best yet, so the following ones we send will have to be much more equipped.'
But it was still a very advanced project that master and I created when we were still learning about the things from my previous world.
'It was helping a lot till this day, and thanks to it, we were knowing a lot of things that were hidden right under our skins.'
The information I got from it was more than good enough in this particular situation. But, after seeing all this… the people who were governing these countries weren't going to be as calm as they had been until now.
They did not know how deep these evil cultists were rooted in the society, but now that they knew… they knew they had severely underestimated them even till this point.
