This is Sonia's first time here. The seats of the twelve committee members are arranged in a ring in front of the conference hall, and their gazes seem to penetrate all the secrets.
"Guardian of the Holy Sepulchre" Baldwin first said: "Countess, knight, please tell us what happened in Odessa. I would like to know what the wise men of Medini are doing?"
This issue is one of today's topics, and Griffiths has already made a lot of preparations for the report. He described his squadron in the official report as he happened to pass by and discovered the attack on the Medini Vault, which was powerful and powerful.
The abnormal psychic fluctuations made him unable to sit idly by, so he led his team to land, launched a surprise attack on the Odessa wizards who might have violated the armistice agreement, and seized some dangerous sealed objects.
The two seized sealed artifacts have been handed over long ago, and the investigation reports on them have been distributed to the important people present. Why did the committee still convene today's meeting? What do they want to know?
After Griffith finished reporting, he stopped. There were a lot of secrets hidden in his body, and he was worried that there would be some special demigod here who could see through his identity as a war knight.
In his opinion, the demigods who appeared in this conference room are the most powerful group in the entire world, more knowledgeable and effective than the Senate. If they are willing to spend extra time on reporting a certain event, it must be
Because this can bring them considerable profits, or it will make them nervous enough.
"I can feel the horrific conspiracy," Gryffindor, the "foreseeer" present here, commented in a strange inverted sentence. "The darkness of psychic energy is always lingering around us. We must send out the best investigators.
.”
The elder who was said to be able to predict the future spoke in a leisurely manner, and Griffith couldn't help but wonder if Erza, with her enthusiastic and flamboyant personality, would roll her eyes when facing the beacon principal.
Tiberion undoubtedly had high prestige among the committee members, so he answered the concerns of the seer: "The incident of the girl of Anjou and the arrival of Odessa has revealed the conspiracy in the darkness. Our enemies are hiding in the void."
However, the existence of this world is still threatened at all times, and there are special plans to block our perception.
"How incredible, my lords, that we turned a blind eye to our enemies before us until they killed my old friend, the wise Avignon, may his soul reach its origin."
"Without the restrictions and destruction of faith in the Holy Light over the years, believers in outer gods would never easily infiltrate into our grassroots churches," Baldwin, the most powerful and noble paladin, immediately took up the topic, "Now
, more than 70% of the Holy Light Chapels do not have suitable bells, not enough monks, and do not have a complete management system for personnel and finance."
"There is no need for you to emphasize the difficulties in every meeting," Chief Astronomer Galilei said. "The other six gods in the Church of the Seven Gods do not even have one member on this committee, let alone two members."
His Majesty Francis, the Patriarch of the Holy Light Holy See, just smiled kindly and said nothing. In Griffith's view, he was a modest, intelligent, and interested in all kinds of things. There was nothing else about him.
The mysterious aura of a demigod.
Principal Tiberion hurriedly brought the topic back and looked in the direction of Griffith: "On your way back, a sea monster attacked your battleship and took away the daughter of the Kwai Mantha family. You and Brunhil
The two captains of the USS carried out a brave pursuit, which is worthy of praise. During the pursuit, what else did you discover?"
This has actually been reported before. Griffiths replied briefly: "Odessa tried to hold a mysterious ritual, but we were not able to get close to the core of the ritual. Naira von Kuimantha took it from there
It has amazing power, and I don’t know as much about it as you, your lords.”
Naira, the god's hand that weaves life in the virtual world, invaded the territory of the Lord of Dreams and seized certain key powers or items. From Professor Julian's records, Griffith also learned about Hun Yuan
The existence of the body, and the relationship between Aaron and the Isius family.
Griffith did not intend to explain this matter. After all, Aaron was the person prophesied to bring balance to spiritual darkness and light, and he was Tiberion's favorite. It would be detrimental to him to talk about it now.
The information may arouse the dissatisfaction of Principal Homemon Watts.
"We must take action. Naira, a believer in the God of the Undead, has joined the Sacrifice of the Chosen One. His power was clearly left on the monster last night," Demigod Demon Hunter, "Guardian of Order"
Ms. Edina Lightblade waved her hand and said with an aura that was irresistible and irresistible, "The evil god of the undead almost destroyed a city. If his followers are allowed to seize more power, there will be more than one city next time."
Already."
The top members of the Arcane Council all agreed with this. Then, they made some more inquiries about the contents of the report that Griffith had already submitted, and prepared to end the interview.
At this time, Salorian, who had always remained silent, said: "Leaders of the mysterious world, under the current circumstances, should we terminate the Sacrifice of the Chosen One? Foreseeer, Lord Gryffindor, what omens have you seen?
?”
Gryffindor just shook his head: "Deception and deception, I feel it; we must beware of the conspiracy of the outer gods."
"Please let me reiterate my opinion, distinguished adults," Ms. Aviana Silver spoke, "We are being watched by shadows, but we ourselves still don't know where the danger comes from. It is useless to escape.
, we must unite to face the coming enemy."
"Enemies?" Assassin demigod Salah asked, "Before that, can Canaan reveal to us what exactly happened that night? Archon Valannoi, I once again pay tribute to him, this terrible enemy
, is it one alien god or two?”
"What one or two?"
"Is there more than one?"
This question is like pouring a spoonful of water into a frying pan, making all the calm demigods become restless.
"Lord Tiberion," the new committee member, Sequence 5 "Mysterious Lord" Yasol Yahan asked uneasily, "Please forgive my ignorance, but what I just heard from you seems to be an alien god who threatens the world.
More than just the immortal god of the virtual realm?”
"It's not just Him. This is your answer. I answered you for the elves," the world's chief huntress, Ms. Edina Lightblade, said impatiently. "More than a year ago, Canaan's half-elf soldiers began to
A mysterious cult spread. An elf commander was killed because of this, and a noble lady was captured by the cultists, preparing to be used as a sacrifice to the evil consciousness to awaken the king in the dream.
"According to the found tokens and clues of the cult, this is a hidden ancient god's belief, pointing to the ancient god who is in charge of plagues and dreams."
Griffith and Sonia didn't dare to take a breath, and listened to the committee members here with their ears. A certain mysterious existence "sends dreams to the creatures waiting to be rescued" in the name of "the master who sleeps in the abyss".
He was the culprit who put Griffith and Galadia in danger in Canaan.
"What caused the foreign gods to appear in such a concentrated manner?" Someone asked at the scene, "Are we about to face an invasion from the virtual realm?"
The meeting was chaotic and everyone was talking.
Some people objected and demanded that the memorial ceremony be suspended until the layout of the Outer Gods was found out; the other group, led by Tiberion, firmly demanded that the memorial ceremony be held as planned.
The quarrel was fruitless. Soon, Griffith and Sonia were invited out and walked down hundreds of steps to leave the temple.
…
"Will there be a war?" Sonia asked uneasily. She was going to attend the royal banquet at Sanssouci Palace, but she was not in the mood at all.
"At least I haven't seen signs of war yet," Griffiths comforted. "War will not arise out of thin air. There must be a clear event to ignite a spark. We just fought a war in the autumn, and there are no signs in the short term.
.”
The two arrived together at the town of Bremi near the Golden Horn. There, Gil de Es, Joshua, Kallen and others, as well as many guards from the Larmore House, and servants were waiting for them. Xia
Earl Dragon has just arrived with Fiona and Lana.
A large number of senators preparing to attend the New Year's meeting were gathering from all directions near Sanssouci Palace. Because there were so many people, they rented many hotels and houses in the town to accommodate their cars.
Gilles de Es came to Griffith and sent him a letter: "Countess, captain, Count Roland de Sissel sent an invitation not long ago, inviting the captain to attend his meeting.
I hope you won’t refuse the party.”
Such a hasty and temporary invitation? Griffith looked at Sonia. Her schedule had been arranged in advance. She wanted to have dinner with the Sharon family and several senators. So, he could only say goodbye and go to Roland.
Went.
The location of the dinner was unexpected. It was not a common tavern or restaurant, but a gorgeous palace decorated with flowers. Many guests were drinking and dancing here, and countless carriages blocked the nearby streets.
Griffith's first reaction was that he had come to the wrong place. If these people were invited by Roland for dinner, there would be too many people. He came to the door and showed the invitation, and the servants immediately
Lead him to the main hall and join the group of people drinking and dancing.
What is Roland doing?
Griffith looked around for a while, but did not see Roland. When he arrived, he saw many people distributing brochures. An area was cleared in the center of the hall, as if something important was about to be announced.
He was about to go over and get a brochure to check it out.
"Mr. Knight."
A sweet voice stopped him. A slender and beautiful girl was walking over. She was wearing an evening dress with charming lines, and her high heels made a heart-grabbing sound with her elegant steps.
This face was very beautiful and looked familiar to Griffith.
"Who are you……"
"Mr. Apprentice Knight, you have become a knight!" The girl clapped her hands happily, "I am Tina from Izmir. I didn't expect to meet you here."
Yes, yes, that's the name. Griffith remembered that he had just left the front line, and the first meal he had in the rear tavern was served by her. Lamb with unshaven skin, leaves from who knows which tree,
There were also some apples, radishes and honey that cost him a fortune! No matter how much he thought about it afterwards, he felt that he had been bullied by the people in the city.
Why is the receptionist here?
"Eh~" Tina circled around Griffith twice, "Your dress has completely changed. You are beautiful and decent, almost unrecognizable. But your eyes are still sharp, and the smell on your body is still awe-inspiring! Normally
It’s hard work, right? The Double Swords, Silver Oak Leaves Knight’s Eagle Badge is not cheap~””
"I remember, well, you were planning to go to Beyeland to join your relatives." Griffiths recalled it and thought about the receptionist.
A year and a half has passed since that day, but it feels like many, many things have happened, and Griffith feels that they are far away, like stories from another world.
"Yes!" The receptionist pulled him to sit on the sofa aside, looking at the knight with her beautiful big eyes shining brightly.
When Griffith first met the receptionist, he had no idea about clothing and fashion. In his impression, Tina was wearing a patched dress made of uncomfortable linen, which was hard, astringent, and poorly made.
It may even hurt your arm in some places.
The waitress in front of her has completely changed. Her hair is clean, her lips are red and soft, and her skirt is made of light pink silk, which is thin and bold, and is brand new and has not been washed. Her nails are painted with light pink.
The red oil paint, the white neck has a light pink color under the warm sunshine, and there is a silver necklace hanging on it.
Griffith smelled the very pleasant peach aroma, and he vaguely felt that Tina had a distinctive mature smell.
He was originally worried that something might happen to the girl on her way to Beyeland alone, but Tina looked very healthy, well groomed and well-dressed, and looked better than expected, even more beautiful than before. This made him feel good.
He stood up, smiled and nodded: "You look good, you have adapted to life in Beyeland."
"I can adapt to anywhere!" Tina opened a small bag of hers, "It must be fate that we meet again. Lord Knight, please get a bond issued by the Westland Industrial Manufacturing Company!"
"What?" Griffith didn't turn around for a moment.
The receptionist took out the brochure from the small bag like magic:
"This is Lord Roland de Sissel's bond. The Verona Restoration Committee provides a credit endorsement, also called a Weifu bond. The initial bond payment period is set at 6 months, and it can be renewed for 3 months after maturity. However,
The maximum duration is 8 years. The coupon rate of the bond reaches 4% per year, the theoretical risk is almost zero, and the income is higher than other commercial promissory notes, so its function is basically equivalent to currency! It can be circulated in various fields and is the most valuable in the world.
of bonds!
"The legendary knight Roland has been issuing this kind of bond for several years!"
Griffith looked around and saw that other people were also exchanging this bond.
It turns out that when Roland invited me to dinner, he actually wanted to sell me bonds. No wonder he didn’t make any arrangements in advance!
