Chapter 869 The suppressed demon drifting into the morning light
After getting Lu Yu's promise to be a witness, Zenil did not hesitate and announced his plan to Tanya and Roye.
Mao Jing felt the gradually warming night breeze comfortably and ate a small cake. Zeniel's speech made her choke.
The two parties involved, Tanya and Roye, were even more confused. They stared at Zenil blankly for a long time, realizing that this "statue" did not have such a strong sense of humor, and they were in a daze for a while.
As an invited witness, Sanmei Qiu felt the need to emphasize it again after the discussion.
"Zenir, today we are not finalizing all the details. We are just temporarily informing you that you still have room to regret."
"Thanks to the Dawnland for giving us such an occasion. The old grudges of Solon make it difficult for us to speak openly and honestly in public easily. The opportunity is rare, so I know exactly what I am talking about."
The Bishop of Guanghuiyuan who came in a hurry was unexpectedly an old acquaintance, David. Naturally, the one who came with Kelea, the chosen god, was Marianne, who was her instructor.
Before they could even sit down when they arrived, they heard the explosive topic... They felt dizzy, the amount of information was too much, and they needed to slow down.
At the same time, they also set their sights on Catthorn, who was always present, wanting to know what happened... If Zenir does not change his mind, Mera will undergo earth-shaking changes after the Battle of Oroun.
Kelea noticed the word "witness" in Zenil's mouth. She was used to these seemingly simple and dull words having a deeper meaning, so she humbly asked Marianne what it meant.
"It is indeed not just as simple as witnessing. You can simply understand that Zenil has found a mediator. This is also the role that Pope Laurent once played in the continent of Mela... to coordinate the four major countries, major races, and city-states.
We strive to ensure that all parties maintain a certain degree of restraint and retain the views and positions stated at the time on some important events as witnesses to ensure that no one will deny the validity of the resolution afterwards."
"Uh...then why doesn't Zeniel find the Glory Academy?" As the new divine choice, Kelea's rank is still low. She thought for a while and couldn't help scratching her head.
Mao Jing sighed a little lonely: "Because Laurende is no longer there... Before him, there was no mediation place that could truly convince all parties in the continent of Mela. Only he could make everyone in Mela forget about him."
As the leader of the four major countries, I firmly believe that he will always uphold integrity and not overly intervene in any party."
Laurent, who has entered the role of mediator, will automatically divest himself of the Pope's position in the Theocracy, and the sense of security this attitude brings is unparalleled. It is also the reason why during the 80 years since he has been in power, all races in Mela and the four major countries have not changed.
s reason.
What Mera believed in was never the Theocracy, but Laurent and everything he left behind.
Nowadays, times are changing and major decisions need to be made, and a new mediator is needed, and Zenil's choice undoubtedly sends a strong signal - Chenxi, who does not intervene in the changes in the Mela order, is the one he believes is most trustworthy and suitable.
A third-party force that becomes a mediator.
After all, there are at least two souls in this floating coal ball that have inherited Laurent's will and ideals.
Sigrid quickly asked the slime girls to check the soundproof circle. The content of the current discussion must be taken seriously.
The important occasion for the Dawn Lord to step onto the historical stage came unexpectedly, and as a new Lord of the Dawn, she couldn't help but feel that the current occasion was a bit casual and not solemn enough.
To show her importance, she succeeded Herola and Dusk as the secretary, carefully recording every word and deed of everyone at the table.
As the person involved, Zenil seemed particularly relaxed. After he finished speaking, he reached out to Leticia, took a glass of fruit wine, and drank it.
He has expressed his sincerity, and now it's someone else's turn.
Tanya knew the rules, nodded slightly to the briquettes, and only spoke after recognizing the status of the Dawn Leader as the mediator.
"Abandon your current foundation...where are you going to rebuild?"
"Codezoun." Zenil didn't intend to conceal his intentions.
"You are really good at calculating." Roye frowned, "The area of Codezoun is several times that of the Storm Territory. If you leave the Storm Territory, the existing aristocratic system will no longer exist for you. You can make drastic changes without being affected by it.
Establish a new kingdom with restraint and moderation...but you have already acquiesced to the cutting of Codezon, and you are taking the biggest share?"
"You think it's a good plan, why don't you do the same?" Zenil asked expressionlessly, "Do you think the land of Codezon is not rich, or do you think it's incompetent?"
The sharp words made Roye feel embarrassed.
Tanya said: "Noel may not agree with your decision. Sligo has done a lot to resist Oroun, and their attitude towards Codzoon is crucial."
"Noel will not refuse me on this matter. In fact, we talked about it before fully assisting Chen Xi, and he is not averse to switching places with me and becoming neighbors again."
Tanya, Chihong and Mi Lai whispered for a while, and Roye fell into deep thought.
Tanya turned around and asked: "What do you plan to do with the original population of the Storm Territory?"
"Those who are willing to leave with me will be compensated by me. Those who cannot leave their homeland...whether they live well will depend on whether your rule is up to standard."
There will be a large number of people who cannot leave their homeland. Not everyone has the courage of Zenil and is willing to leave their homeland and rebuild the country in a place that may be poor and useless... No one can refuse this temptation.
Tanya, who was already moved, did not rush to express her position, but first confirmed that everything was being recorded by Chen Xi, and then took a deep breath.
Seeing that the time was right, Lu Yu once again emphasized that all three parties had time to express objections before formally signing the agreement, and after the three coal balls agreed, this time was set as after Oroen was driven away.
For all three parties, there is plenty of time.
The conversation was tense and relaxed, and after the three parties reached a basic consensus, the dinner once again returned to the relaxation and pleasure of a dinner party.
As the God's Choice, it was the first time for Kelea to participate in a meeting of this level. She was not very able to adapt to this changing rhythm. Until the slime girl gave her juice, her body was still in a tense state from the previous negotiations.
.
However, with Marianne and Cat Jing teaching her, she gradually got used to it.
Seeing the brother and sister Zenil and Tanya walking together and chatting with smiles after a long absence, Kelaya was very curious. What could the two of them be talking about...continue the conversation just now?
"I haven't seen you for so many years, but you seem to have not changed much. You are still as stiff as a statue."
"You haven't changed either. You're stupid and cute. What an apt description. Maybe I can still describe you this way in a few years."
It was different from Kelea's imagination. The conversation between the two was somewhat like "brothers and brothers."
"How many years have passed since then?"
"Is it dyeing?" Tanya recalled, "After this spring, five years have passed... time flies so fast."
"I can still clearly remember the time when you 'accidentally' ran out of food when my father attacked me fiercely."
"Brother, is he so vindictive?"
"I'm just helping my sister remember some stupid actions so that she can reflect on them." Zernier said bluntly, "After all, my sister always likes to make mistakes because of small things. This was the case when she was a child. When she grew up, she abandoned Lu in the face of the Sharman poisonous fog incident.
The same is true for Rutis, who only remembers short-term gains and losses, but does not care about the long-term."
Tanya's heart twitched, her fists clenched, and then she loosened them pretending not to care.
"The sister you looked down upon is now the leader of the territory who can rival you."
"The Storm Territory has been silent for several years, but it doesn't mean that you are really evenly matched with me." Zenil pressed his hands on the guardrail, overlooking the earth, "You are one of the few relatives I have. Although we are not related by blood,...since we were young...
Growing up, you were always lovable, and there must be some family affection left."
Her self-esteem seemed to have been stepped on, and Tanya's voice rose a little higher.
"Are you trying to tell me that the Green Shade Territory can never defeat the Storm Territory? The advantage that the Green Shade Territory had before was just your tolerance?"
"The future is unknown, but now, you really can't do it." Zenil stared meaningfully into her eyes, "Have you realized that you now are no different from Lulutis back then?"
Tanya was startled.
Zenil chuckled lightly: "Although you deliberately concealed it, I can probably guess that the unknown third lord of the Dawn Territory is the long-lost crimson witch Lulutis."
"you……"
"Tanya, the method you used on Lulutis is now happening to you, but you don't know it. As the lord of a place and the one who will establish a country in the future, don't you feel a little embarrassed?"
Zenil shook his head, "You treat the ambiguity of Dawn Leader and Lulutis' worry about gains and losses, all in order to make up for the shortcomings of the past... You want to cover up your past failures and work hard to eliminate the mistakes of the past.
Be willing to admit your mistakes because it makes you feel humiliated."
"But..." Zenil pressed Tanya's shoulders earnestly, and the kindness and gentleness of an elder brother appeared on his statue-like cold face, "What happened in the past should be let go...
If you lose some things, they are destined to never be recovered. Trying to recover them will only make your behavior predictable and make you weak."
"My sister... wake up."
Tanya met Zenil's eyes blankly, eyes full of complex emotions.
For a long time, she lowered her head and gradually loosened her clenched fists.
"For the first time in so many years... you feel like my brother."
"I always have been."
"But I was bullied when I was a child..."
"My father is a bastard. This is a fate we cannot choose."
"What about when you grow up?"
"Adults must be responsible for themselves."
Tanya laughed: "You really..."
It’s so easy to choke on one’s breath when talking to Zenil.
He is a qualified leader, but he always fails in other roles.
"But, I did help you."
"Won't the Storm Territory attack the Green Shade Territory?"
"Help you kill all the nobles, magicians, and younger brothers and sisters who used the sandman poisonous fog to trap Lulutis and you."
Tanya was stunned and full of disbelief.
