ps: It seems that some people can't refresh, so I fixed this

Qin Lan raised her hand and pushed open the wooden door of the bedroom.

At first glance, the scene behind the door looks like a gorgeous banquet hall from the Middle Ages. However, upon closer inspection, you can see traces of modernization. This banquet hall is just a beautiful imagination of the life of ancient aristocrats.

And Hong Yuan was standing next to the main seat.

Although his chair is no different from the others, the sitting position already indicates his importance in this meeting. Not only that, this place was decorated by him, and this also means something.

Most of the ability users present did not notice or care about this. Only a few ability users had some subtle feelings about it, but they did not think deeply about it. This actually seemed to be a normal behavior.

After all, he arranged this place.

But Ma En, who followed Qin Lan in, thought it was not that simple. This Hong Yuan might have lied in Shen Xiao's prophecy. Combined with his "subconscious" behavior of putting himself in the dominant position unknowingly, it is difficult to

It doesn't remind anyone of anything.

The moment Qin Lan opened the door and walked in, Hong Yuan looked over, then looked at the three people following her, and finally looked at Qin Lan again, nodded to her slightly, and then turned towards the person standing next to him.

The two people said a few words.

Then everyone waiting in front of the banquet table looked at her.

Expectation, surprise, doubt, curiosity, suspicion, surprise, all kinds of complex emotions turned their eyes on Qin Lan, and then Hong Yuan walked towards him with the old woman and middle-aged man Nathan standing beside him.

Although the other members of the Salvation Alliance did not come over, they still kept her within their sight.

Qin Lan shouted excitedly to the old woman following Hong Yuan:

"Grandma Li!"

"Xiao Lan." The old woman walked quickly to her, looking at Qin Lan up and down with worry and surprise on her face, "As long as it's okay, it's okay..."

Qin Lan turned sideways and said to the three people following him:

"This is Grandma Li, my grandfather's friend. She often came to play with my sister and me when we were young."

Grandma Li looked at several people along her line of sight, and finally her eyes rested on Ma En:

"Thank you for taking care of Xiaolan during this time."

After saying this, she looked at Qin Lan again and said:

"What do you think about our situation?"

Hong Yuan and another middle-aged man standing next to her also cheered up.

Qin Lan nodded slightly to her:

"I do have something to say. This matter concerns our colleagues across the federation. We cannot draw conclusions so simply."

Nathan cleared his throat and said:

"Hong Yuan said he got your sister's prophecy, but I'm still a little worried that it's a federal trap. After all...

"They have proven that they can hide from Shenxiao."

Hong Yuan looked at the serious middle-aged man with a smile:

"But the purpose of the Federation is to get us to sign an agreement with them. If I hadn't received the prophecy, they would have probably made us agree to disband the Salvation Alliance.

"Isn't it?"

Nathan said:

"Maybe this is a conspiracy of other forces. Maybe the Federation wants this result. They now have a prophecy machine. If you pay attention, you will realize that Shenxiao's behavior is sometimes not as simple as it seems on the surface."

Qin Lan was a little surprised by his observation skills.

What Nathan said is true, but not everyone can realize this.

Because although Shenxiao's best actions may be meaningful, after the age of ten, she will use expressions that ordinary people can understand to cover up her true purpose, making all kinds of complexity simple in the eyes of others.

And the current situation is also obvious. Even if there is a prophecy, Nathan still prefers to have a ceasefire with the Federation, and he is expressing his attitude to Qin Lan here, trying to win her over to accept his idea.

Li Xiuyu, who originally stood firmly on the same front as him, was a little shaken after learning about the existence of the prophecy. Others who were originally wavering had completely accepted Hong Yuan's views. Only he still stood on the opposite side of Hong Yuan.

.

He actually understood the old man's transformation very well.

Nathan met her a few years ago. Although some old people will show more desire for life in their later years, Li Xiuyu has long been open-minded about her destined death, and she has no fear of leaving this world.

So at that time, she followed the girl she had watched grow up and joined the Salvation League.

They had talked privately, and Nathan knew that she did this largely out of her affection and kindness for the two girls, but other than that, she must also have her own selfish motives like other ordinary people.

She can accept her own death, but she wants to let the world remember her. If she can choose her own way of death, she is willing to sacrifice her life for ideals and beauty.

Because in a sense, that is also alive.

If Hong Yuan could give her hope of victory in this meeting, the old man would no longer consider the possibility of a truce with the Federation.

But Nathan didn't think this was the right decision. As they said last time, this matter would be related to the life and death of members of the entire Federation's Salvation Alliance. If they made the wrong decision, many people would miss the opportunity to be saved.

And he no longer wanted to continue fighting.

Nathan still has children and family, but now they can only follow him to escape everywhere, and he doesn't like and is not good at fighting. He can clearly see that he will only die if he continues like this.

If his bottom line is at a low point, he can at least betray the Salvation Alliance.

But he couldn't do such a thing.

Nathan himself is the kind of person he said at the meeting. He joined the Salvation League just because he wanted to do something good, but he never considered losing his life for it. Even his death could not make the Salvation League

Seeing a slight chance of winning.

If he could convince Qin Lan, he could rely on her relationship with Li Xiuyu to bring her back to his side, and then there would be room for detours in this matter.

"The thing before us now is that the armistice is the purpose of the Federation." Hong Yuan argued with reason, "but Shenxiao's prophecy does not allow us to sign an armistice agreement with them. What do you think these represent? What should we do?

The Federation’s will?

"I understand your concerns, but let's wait until you read Shenxiao's new prophecy before discussing this matter."

As he spoke, he pointed to the long table:

"Let's sit and talk."

Several people turned and walked over, while other members of the Salvation Alliance present also took their seats one after another, and they tacitly agreed to leave the seat opposite Hong Yuan to Qin Lan, while Ma En sat next to her.

After everyone was seated, Hong Yuan looked at them and said:

"There are twenty-nine people here in total."

This is not a small number.

Because everyone present except Qin Lan are all level IV ability users.

This number of level IV ability users can already be considered a quite formidable force.

Moreover, only five of the members of the Salvation Alliance present had joined the Coordination Bureau in the past, and most of the others were not affiliated with large organizations. If you include those who have been lost and those who are not present, this also means that Shenxiao once controlled an independent

Due to the considerable power of the Federation.

Nathan went on to say:

"But in front of level V ability users, unless there is something that can convert quantity into quality, such as a ritual to summon demons, or an ancient wizard's circle, it is meaningless how many people there are."

They did not play any decisive role in the battle between Shenxiao and the Federation, nor in the current pursuit with the Federation.

Of course they can avoid being caught. After all, the Federation's Level IV ability users are not omnipotent. But in the final analysis, it seems that they have no chance of winning with any resistance. It seems that it is only a matter of time before they are caught by all members of the Federation.

"I know you don't see any chance." Hong Yuan said to them, "The investigation department responsible for hunting us is led by three federal level V ability users. If we only count our apparent combat power,

We are destined to fail.

"But I want to tell you, we are much more than that.

"Even hundreds of Level IV ability users cannot have a decisive impact in the confrontation with the Federal Investigation Department, but only dozens of Level IV members of the Salvation Alliance are enough.

"Because we are not only ourselves, but also the source of Shenxiao's power. I don't know how many of you here understand the meaning of the words reality warper, but I want to tell you that trapping Shenxiao is not a good thing for the Federation.

What a simple thing.

"For them, this is a confrontation with Shenxiao's reality, and our existence will strengthen Shenxiao's power. In other words, if the Salvation Alliance is disbanded, then it will be easier for him to control Shenxiao than before.

.

"And this will give them the upper hand in the confrontation with Shenxiao. This is the purpose of the Federation wanting me to disband."

A female from the Southern Confederacy said:

"Hong Yuan is right about this. Whether we are disbanded or not is indeed related to Shenxiao's fate."

Nathan opened his mouth and said:

"The Federation has proven that Qin Luan has agreed to this matter, and someone should have heard her mention it. If Shenxiao Walker does not agree, it will be useless for us to disband the Salvation Alliance.

"and……

"Regardless of whether the Federation has committed fraud or not, I think you all should know what decision Shenxiao will make in this situation. If the price of the Federation is the safety of the entire Salvation Alliance, then I think she will definitely agree.
