Rather than being kings of swamps and radiation pits, smart people prefer to be nobles in paradise.
There are also those who are not interested in hedonistic life and modern society. Among 10,000 people, there will always be a few extremists who want to rebuild glory no matter what. They are very motivated and dangerous in the sense of glory or the beautiful fantasy of ruling the world.
extremely.
But they are a minority.
The Shadow Parliament is an organization that maintains the interests of the majority. Those powerful people who want to continue to enjoy, continue to be peaceful, and continue to have wealth form this parliament in order to make the future run in a direction that is more in line with their expectations, and at the same time continue to eliminate them.
Those minorities try to challenge them.
However, Hao Ren knows that all order and rules in the mortal world are temporary, and this Shadow Council system is also temporary. Just like the age of mythology will eventually come to an end, so will the high-pressure peace maintained by the demon hunters for thousands of years.
It will end in a few days, and the Shadow Council may be able to last even shorter.
But at least there is no need to worry about unrest for the time being.
The discussion about the Shadow Parliament and its future development direction has reached the second day. As the largest shelter in Europe, not only local family representatives from the Athens Sanctuary gathered here, but also people who came from other shelters in Europe in recent days.
People. These people gathered here to discuss various issues after the demon hunters disappeared. They gathered just right, so this meeting was directly upgraded to something similar to the "European Natural Biological Representative Conference."
level. And it is said that leaders of heterogeneous families from other parts of the world are also gathering here. They all responded to the call of the Athens Sanctuary. Strictly speaking, they responded to the call of the most senior ancients. Therefore, the formation process of the Shadow Council
It was unexpectedly fast.
Hao Ren was not interested in participating in this. He led his entire family to withdraw from the direct meeting and discussion process the next day, and instead wandered around the City of Shadows. He was not worried about things getting out of his control, because Hai
Cyanna is still at the meeting, and as a clone of "The Ancient One", the little bat spirit is making great strides towards the top of the Shadow Council, competing with the long-standing leaders of the big families.
Although the little bat spirit is a naughty child, she is still quite reliable in her field. Under Vivian's strong orders, the naughty child listened to Hao Ren honestly and attended the meeting while explaining the formation of the Shadow Council.
Reported here, and at the same time, according to the instructions of Vivian and Hao Ren, played his role in the meeting.
Now Hao Ren and the others wandered to a high platform in the southwest corner of the city. This high platform was the entrance when everyone first visited the Shadow Fortress. Behind it was connected to the antique shop of Hesperius. The ancient tree Gangrudar
A clone tree swayed in the corner of the high platform, shaking its branches and leaves idly, and from time to time paying attention to the movements of the hostess Vivian with a pair of dim eyes on the trunk. The old tree man is the most virtuous and respected person in the city.
One of the Ancients, but it also did not participate in the meeting: about the formation of the Shadow Council. It is "the one who does this."
"Mistress, look at this city. There are thousands of natural creatures. In the past thousands of years, less than one tenth of the natural creatures here dared to move around in the world, and they had to be very low-key.
They move very covertly, because once they show up, demon hunters will swarm over." The old tree man felt a little bored, so he started to talk to Vivian. "I heard about the Shadow Council and the end of the hunt. This means
Tens of thousands of natural creatures are about to enter human society openly. To be honest, the old tree is a little uneasy."
Gangludar is a magical ancient tree. It has the nature of its own race, that is, it doesn't like changes very much. It is not sure whether the future will be good or bad, so it can't help but express its thoughts.
"It's not 'above and above board'. There is one clause in the agreement, that is, you cannot interfere with social order at will, because disorder of social order will affect the human interests of many big families." Vivian corrected patiently, "And tens of thousands of people are a lot.
?Not to mention that not everyone can pass the test to leave the shelter, even if they do pass, do you know how many people there are in the human world?"
"Of course, there will still be some changes. For example, a lot of urban ghost stories or supernatural legends suddenly pop up." Hao Ren chuckled, but he did not take it seriously. The prosecutor should pay attention to the "orderliness" of civilization.
"Exhibition", but orderly development is not static. As long as the foundation is not shaken, any changes are normal and he doesn't need to care about it. He doesn't bother to care about it.
As the Shadow Council gradually matures, there are more and more aliens among humans, and more and more humans have access to the mysterious realm. Some subtle changes will occur naturally. This kind of peaceful mutual penetration does not seem to be bad.
Just as a lot of messy prospects were spinning in Hao Ren's mind, a shadow suddenly appeared on the platform, and a thick smoke emerged from the shadow. The thick smoke quickly condensed into the figure of a woman.
This is a woman with a cold temperament. She is none other than Hela, who has been making frequent appearances recently, one of the only survivors in the Nordic pantheon. Because she is low-key and indifferent, and hardly communicates with outsiders, Hao Ren has never been familiar with her.
, but after the last "Shadow of Chaos" incident, he knew this "Goddess of Death".
"Are you looking for me?" Hela walked straight to Vivian, "Hesperius asked me to meet you after the meeting."
Although Hela is also a veteran "god" who survived the age of mythology, she is not yet an ancient. Not all aliens who have experienced the age of mythology are considered ancients, only those who were born in the glorious age of the gods, and
Only old guys with a certain influence count. Hesperus just meets the standard because of his age, but Hela is just a little short of it, so she can only be classified as "medieval". So even though she has a withdrawn personality and a bad temper,
Okay, but you still have to show enough respect for Vivian.
According to rumors, Hela was robbed of candy by Vivian when she was a child. It is also possible that her father Loki was robbed of candy.
"I'm not looking for you," Vivian raised her finger and pointed at Hao Ren, "The boss is looking for you."
Perhaps in order to emphasize Hao Ren's status as a "team leader" in the rigid and stubborn heterogeneous group and give him more say in the shelter, Vivian would become accustomed to calling Hao Ren "the boss" after coming to the Shadow Fortress.
, she used this method to publicly acknowledge Hao Ren's leadership status in front of other aliens, and also transferred her authority to Hao Ren. Facts have proved that the effect is good, except that it will irritate the nervous little bat who likes to fill his head.
Beyond essence.
Hela glanced at Hao Ren expressionlessly, with a somewhat searching look in her eyes. Hao Ren was not polite and said directly: "You are a survivor of the Nordic pantheon."
Hela continued to remain expressionless and nodded.
"Were you present when the Yggdrasil space chain exploded, and escaped from the big explosion?"
Hela continued to nod.
"Do you know where the remaining space debris is after the explosion of the 'Nine Kingdoms'? Any clues will do."
The expression on Hela's face finally changed: "Are you looking for the whereabouts of the Nine Kingdoms?"
As soon as Hao Ren heard her answer, his heart suddenly moved: The other party did not deny those space fragments, but asked him if he was looking for those things. The implication was that the fragments of the nine kingdoms really existed?!
He originally just called this Nordic survivor over to ask questions casually, without holding out much hope, but now he suddenly felt a sense of surprise!
"Those nine dimensions really still exist?!" Hao Ren's eyes were glaring, "Do you know the situation in Walter Alheim and Jotunheim?"
Hela looked at Hao Ren with doubtful eyes, but when it came to the historical relics that had been completely reduced to ruins, she had no intention of hiding it: "Even a relatively simple 'god realm' like Mount Olympus can survive after the explosion.
Some fragments were dropped, not to mention the Yggdrasil space chain. At first, the demon hunters only destroyed the branches of the world that connected the nine kingdoms and the main material world, making these different spaces separated from the main material world, but they did not
The alien spaces themselves were not destroyed."
Destroying a kingdom and destroying the space in which the kingdom is located are completely different concepts. Just as human weapons can easily destroy human civilization itself, but cannot shake the foundation of the earth, demon hunters can only destroy Warner and the Asa gods.
, but it is impossible to completely destroy the nine different spaces, which is consistent with Hao Ren's guess!
"The different dimensions of the nine kingdoms should still exist, and Watt Alheim and Jotunheim are no exception," Hela continued, "But their connection with the main material world has been severed. If you want to find them
It’s difficult.”
Hao Ren raised his eyebrows: "Listening to your tone, it seems like you have something you can do?"
Hela hesitated for a moment, and Vivian put her hand on her shoulder: "No matter what you have, it's best to let us try it. Maybe those things won't work in your hands, but they will work in our hands."
It’s different.”
Hela frowned, and there was no change in expression on her cold face, but she obviously weighed it. Finally, she lifted her hand out of thin air, and a metal object quickly appeared in the air with a hissing electric current.

"This is the tip of Gungnir's spear." (To be continued.)
