Sarlayan originally did not want to pay attention to the negotiation process between the Forsworn and Kyrian. Now that both parties have calmed down and sat at the negotiating table, the chance of a fight is low. After that, it will be nothing more than a verbal exchange for their own interests.
The internal affairs of the Ascension Fortress have nothing to do with Sarlayan. His task is only to prevent the internal fighting in the Ascension Fortress and let them turn their guns to the outside world. This goal has been achieved 80%.
However, due to an unexpected combination of circumstances, Gristia took the initiative to learn about the negotiation situation. In order to prevent the consul from doing stupid things that would intensify conflicts again, Saryan did not dare to leave now.
Moreover, Sarlayan also needs to discuss with Gristia about how to rescue the soldier master.
The Forsworn's core request is actually very simple, that is, they want Gristia to abolish those inhumane regulations and re-formulate new rules that are more in line with the current background and the people's demands.
As representatives of Kyrian, Senius and Kairos also believe that the Forsworn's demands are legitimate, but the way they express their demands is a bit extreme.
From a personal point of view, Senios and Kairos... and even Sandria, who was bedridden due to injury, believed that Gristia should indeed eliminate those weird rules such as erasing memories of life.
But the problem is...it doesn't matter what they say, the final interpretation of the laws of the Fortress is in the hands of the consul Gristia.
Before Gristia made her position clear, Senios and Kairos, as negotiators, could only appease Visifurne and Devos while trying to calm down the mud, while sending people back to the Castle of Elysium to urge Gristia to make a decision as soon as possible.
idea.
Gristia had remained autistic until Sarlayan and his party came to visit. The messenger who came to report the progress of the negotiations was never able to see her in person. The urgings of Senius and Kairos were like nothing.
The Forsworn's patience was not unlimited, and both Visifurne and DeVos saw the hesitant and perfunctory attitude of Kyrian's side.
Whether negotiations can be reached is one thing, but whether the other party is sincere in negotiating is another.
Not even the most basic sincerity in the negotiations could be seen, which made Vessey Furniture and De Vos extremely dissatisfied, and the anger in their hearts was growing.
The two fallen saints asked themselves that the demands they made were not too much. They came from the opinions of the residents of the Ascension Fortress who followed the Forsworn. Each request pointed directly at the shortcomings of the laws of the Ascension Fortress, and it can be said that they hit the nail on the head.
Senius and Kairos couldn't express their pain. They couldn't tell the Forsworn clearly that Gristia was still autistic and miserable.
Facing the aggressive Forsworn who wanted to get a precise explanation, Kairos and Senius could only continue to practice Tai Chi with Xiao, and privately sent messengers back to the Bliss Castle to urge them.
This time they were ruthless and sent out their respective right-hand men.
The Hand of Wisdom and the Hand of Humility set off together, and the two saints asked them to see Gristia with their own eyes no matter what, tell her everything about the situation ahead, and bring back her guidance.
However, when the Hand of Wisdom and the Hand of Humility set out, Gristia had already escaped from the Elysium Castle first, and even Adrestis, the auxiliary officer responsible for passing the news, was missing. The two of them finally had to
Returned without success.
"So... Your Majesty the Archon."
Sarlayan looked at Gristia, whose expression changed a little, with a calm expression and asked, "What do you think? Should you continue to insist on your own opinion? Or should you listen to the voice of the people?"
Gristia's expression was a little tangled. Her character has always been stubborn. Although she had realized her mistake, she still didn't know how to correct it for a while.
As the head of the Ascension Fortress, Gristia could not directly intervene in the negotiations between the two factions of the Ascension Fortress.
Now the two factions each send two saints to maintain a balance on the card.
Once Gristea clearly takes sides, those who fear her authority are likely to give up their original stance out of fear, thus failing to achieve the purpose of seeing clearly the shortcomings of Fortress Ascension.
"How about..." Valeela made a suggestion: "How about changing your clothes and sneaking into the Hero's Rest private server for a private visit? Just like how you went to Oribos before hiding your identity."
Gristia's eyes lit up: "What a great idea. This way we can listen closely to the real needs of the people."
Onyxia and Adrestis, who were not interested, continued to observe the negotiation scene. Gristia happily took Sharlayan, Valeela and Stellagosa and set off for Heroes.
sleep.
Stellagosa used illusion magic to disguise the four of them. Unless someone with more strength than her specifically used a wide range of dispersal spells, outsiders would not be able to recognize that the black-feathered Forsworn at the front was the promotion.
Archon of the fortress.
From Sarlayan's point of view, there was actually nothing much to say about this private visit.
In any world, there will be no shortage of people at the bottom who like to talk about national affairs. In barrage terms, these are called masters of political affairs.
The so-called "master" here is of course derogatory.
The information that ordinary people have access to is severely limited, and it is easy for ordinary people to be influenced by rumors that are not true or false.
However, some people have the mysterious self-confidence that they don’t know where they come from, thinking that they who live a low-level life will know more about state affairs than the officials who have specialized in government affairs for decades.
When Sarlayan was managing the territory, he also encountered such a boastful and strong-mouthed king. He also chatted with the idle gentlemen for a while with great interest.
The conclusion is... bullshit.
Since the national intelligence that the common people can receive is limited, they typically run away with half a piece of information, rush in without seeing the whole story, and declare eloquently what they would do if they were in power.
From the perspective of Sarlayan, who has a God's perspective, these people's unrealistic lies are pure fart and have almost no reference value.
There is no essential difference between the residents of Ascension Bastion and the strong-mouthed kings of Quel'Thalas.
At Sarlayan's suggestion, Gristia ignored the eloquent words of the political masters and only recorded the simplest and true demands of the people at the bottom.
Since assuming the position of Archon of the Ascension Fortress, Gristia has never had a close understanding of the people's voices in this way.
In the past, when she took the saints on routine tours, all she saw were "common people" carefully selected by grassroots officials, and she could not hear any useful information from them.
After walking around the civilian neighborhood of Heroes' Rest, Gristia's confused expression gradually disappeared, and she already had some preliminary ideas on how to change the law.
But in order to avoid another big trouble caused by dictatorship, this time Gristia planned to convene five saints to discuss and judge together, hoping to come up with a law modification plan that satisfies all parties.
After successfully completing the incognito private visit, Adrestis, who was left behind, also happened to send an urgent notice.
The Forsworn were finally annoyed by Kyrian's skillful Tai Chi skills, and angrily accused Kyrian of not being sincere in negotiating, and threatened to rely on force to attack the Castle of Elysium and force Gristia out of her turtle shell.
Pick up guests.
Knowing that the negotiations between the two parties were about to collapse, Gristia, who had already figured it out, finally instructed Adrestis to rush to the negotiation site in person and inform Gryon's negotiators of his opinions.
With Gristea's personal statement, Senius and Kairos finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to seriously bargain with the Forsworn regarding their respective interests.
After returning to Elysium Castle with Gristia, Sharlayan told her all the problems he discovered in Maldraxxus.
"Abyss..."
Gristia frowned: "I didn't expect that the master of war actually went somewhere, and was ambushed and imprisoned by Zoval and Denathrius together."
"It's hard to handle."
Gristia rubbed her brows with a headache: "If the Winter Queen and I attack together, we can indeed send a few elites into the abyss, but..."
Gristia sighed softly: "As long as the soul enters the Maw, it cannot escape. This is the iron law set by the Firstborn for the Maw. Only the Eternal can transcend."
"But the problem also arises. Once an Eternal enters the Abyss, Zoval will definitely sense it immediately, and it may be self-defeating."
"unless……"
Gristia looked at the four of Sarlayan with all her thoughts, and the look in her eyes made Sarlayan feel a little frightened.
"Unless what?"
Gristia's eyes flickered and she said: "Unless the person who enters the Abyss is not a native soul of the Shadow Realm, but... a living person from the material world."
