Now, there is a suffocating and heavy atmosphere in the hall.
The Pope, who represents the highest power of the Silian Theocracy, the Priest of the Six-Color Holy Canon, the Priest of the Magic Institute who is in charge of the development of magic, etc.
They all silently took the cleaning tools in their hands and were cleaning the room where the highest meeting was held deep underground in the temple as usual.
This is something that must be done every time the Silian Theocracy convenes a supreme meeting. Although they can use magic to do everything in an instant, according to the passed down convention, the participants must take action here. This is probably to reflect the so-called
The sense of ceremony!
However, this was the second time today. Schineding took the broom in his hand and swept the floor that was free of dust. He had just done the same thing a few hours ago.
This may be the first time since the founding of the Silian Theocracy that two supreme meetings have been held on the same day.
Thinking of this, Xinedin stopped what he was doing and looked thoughtfully at the huge statue of the God of Life in front of him.
"Oh...then we can start." Raymond could tell from the desperate movements of everyone's cleaning work that everyone was in a state of mind. In fact, it was not because they disliked repetitive work or something, but because of other reasons.
Everyone who heard Raymond say this took heavy steps and returned the cleaning tools in their hands.
In fact, when he first came here, the Pope originally wanted to start directly. However, Sir Sinedine suggested cleaning up again, and the Pope agreed.
At first, Raymond didn't understand why Lord Sinedine made such a suggestion, but now seeing everyone's lifeless looks, Raymond understood Lord Sineding's good intentions.
This is to give everyone a time to buffer and adjust their emotions, but this time is just a bit too short.
Although the cleaning time this time was more than twice that of usual cleaning, if I hadn't said it myself, I'm afraid the chief priests would have continued to clean the same place with cleaning tools.
After a while, everyone returned to their respective positions, and the meeting officially began.
Raymond stood helplessly in his position as the master of ceremonies, and looked around the room, looking at the only empty seat in the room, which was the position of the military general in charge.
He sighed silently in his heart. If possible, Raymond really wanted to change with him. At least the negotiation with the elves would be easier than staying here to face the Sorcerous Kingdom.
Then there was the Black Sacred Codex Geros standing in the back. This time he also attended the meeting as a special case. After all, he also participated in the banquet hosted by Princess Elizabeth, and it was necessary to listen to his opinion.
"Everyone, please share your opinions on the situation just now!" Raymond, as the master of ceremonies, said.
However, everyone's eyes were unanimously focused on Lord Sinedine, as if they were expecting the highly respected Lord Sinedine to start first. However, Lord Sinedine seemed completely unaware of everyone's gaze, as if he was thinking.
What does it look like.
"Then let me say it first!" Raymond said, although it was indeed strange for him, the master of ceremony, to express his opinion first.
"First of all, I think... at this stage, until we find an effective way to target the Sorcerous Kingdom... it is best to coexist peacefully with them." Raymond said helplessly.
If this sentence were put in the past, there would definitely be a lot of objections. However...now, no one objects to my seemingly useless speech.
"Although I don't want to admit it, this situation can only be like this now." Dominic, the chief of the Wind God, said.
Raymond looked at Dominic and couldn't help but think that under normal circumstances, Dominic would be the first to jump out and say, "Why do you want to coexist peacefully with those alien species? Are you all crazy?"
As a priest from the Sunshine Codex, he may be the one who hates other races the most among the priests here. Hearing even Dominic say this, everyone looked at each other with a very discouraged look for a while.
"At least now it seems that the Sorcerous Kingdom is not hostile to us... We can also take advantage of this opportunity..." Dominic added after seeing everyone's discouraged looks.
He also knew that what he said was a bit inappropriate. As a hard-line person, Dominic also understood that if even he was discouraged, it would have an impact on everyone. However, before he could finish what he added, he was ignored.
The light priest Ion interrupted.
"Does this mean that our Silian Theocracy can only make use of the temporary absence of hostility from the Sorcerous Kingdom and make useless struggles?" Ion, the leader of the Light Priest, said very uncomfortably.
Normally, Dominic would definitely be furious, but after Dominic was choked, he just looked embarrassed... and did not refute.
"You can't say that. There is always a solution, right?" As a moderate, the Vulcan Chief Benice came out to smooth things over.
However, Benice's speech made the room silent again. There is always a solution... These words now only have a sarcastic meaning.
"Now..." Mr. Xinedin spoke. After a long silence, Mr. Xinedin finally spoke, and everyone showed a slightly more relaxed look.
"Today, our country does not have any effective method to deal with the Sorcerous Kingdom. As Raymond said... all we can do now is to coexist peacefully with the Sorcerous Kingdom for the time being, but this does not mean that we must compromise with them.
"Lord Xinedine said this.
"At this time, it is a good choice to retreat in order to advance. With our combat power...it is really unwise to confront the Sorcerous Kingdom head-on, and...I think...if Princess Elizabeth is here, the Sorcerous Kingdom should not
Will take the initiative to take action against us... Uh... Sorry, forget what I said." Dark Priest Maximilian said this as if there was something in his words.
"It would be better to say...that devil Elizabeth is the culprit that puts us in this dilemma now, right?" Dominic said in a mocking tone.
"If it hadn't been for her, we wouldn't be so passive now, right? It would have been better if we hadn't wasted our entire country on her." The Pope said thoughtfully.
Hearing the Pope's speech, the Black Holy Scripture standing behind lowered his head. He was the one who made the judgment and directly used Qingguoqingcheng on Elizabeth.
This instead led to the death of the last person in The Theocracy who could use Allure. Now, until the next person who can use Allure is found, the Theocracy has no means to deal with the Sorcerous Kingdom.
