Time flies. While the three-person team struggled with all sorts of bizarre missions, it was the middle of August.

Every year on August 20th, Reims officially opens the school year and opens the Heroes' Chamber. Landmund has a super teleportation array that connects all the big cities of the three major countries, and for the Holy Orders who are in high positions in various countries and are busy every day, this will not allow them to consume too much time on the road. The meeting hall will be held for about 10 days, and during these 10 days, the administrative street will be closed and closed to the public.

Because in these ten days, the three hundred and twenty-seven people in the world's most powerful, powerful, and learned will gather here to discuss the policy and direction of the Lanman Continent in the coming year—this is the highest level meeting in the whole continent, and all unwitting outsiders always like to add a lot of mystery and ritual to it, and regard the sages participating in the meeting as noble beings who are demigods and half-humans—

However, in the eyes of those in the know, this meeting was anything but like that.

"May the Light bless you, God-given bloodline. ”

"May God bless the world. His Holiness looked in a good mood. ”

The saints who meet in the council hall must greet each other. Those who don't want to be familiar have to smile and shake hands with each other, and those who are familiar with each other have already gotten together to chat.

At the door were met by the contemporary Pope, Holy Spirit Priest Kevin Nicholas, and Russell Sfiodor, Prime Minister of the Yadu Empire, Holy Magister and known as the "Scales of God".

They each held one of the highest powers in the continent, but here, they were only one of the Sages.

"Long time no see, Kevin, you look so much better now than you used to. "The official greeting was followed by a personal greeting from a friend. The two of them avoided the door and went to their place together, and Russell, dressed in mage robes and wearing thick glasses, spoke first.

They had been friends for decades, and Russell knew how exhausted his old friend had been in his years when he had first succeeded to the Pope, and the Sage's physical fitness could not hide his emaciation—but now he looked even much younger than before.

"The promotion of the latest magic technology is quite smooth, and the elemental lamp, self-running magic guide machinery and high-level magic circle miniaturization technology have all made significant progress," Speaking of these, Kevin is even more glorious, "The research on the theory of the implosion of elemental particles has also reached a new stage, this thing is finally not just a theory on paper, we are confident that we can provide a phase of results within ten years - I am excited about this year's technological breakthrough, Russell!"

His Majesty the Pope, who has always been steady and gentle, is only inexplicably excited when he talks about these major technological breakthroughs. Of course, this is also a tradition of the Holy See.

The closest to God and Law, apart from the Holy Beings, are naturally the Holy See personnel who can borrow the power of the Holy Light. Even if the strong people of the Holy Light profession do not become the Holy Rank, they can also rely on the Law of Holy Light Perception, and they have understood God's thoughts early on—God longs for the development of civilization, longs for the progress of life, and God hopes that one day the life he created can also reach the height of God. The idea of God has thus become the norm of the Holy See, which has never interfered in national politics, but has always been committed to promoting theoretical breakthroughs and technological progress, and giving away those harmless new technologies to the heads of the three powers for free, but this naïve idea has caused contradictions and conflicts for thousands of years. But when the Peace Alliance was formed, the three powers signed an armistice, and shared the fruits of scientific and technological development, the status of the Holy See became more and more exalted and important.

Of course, this status still does not involve politics, but the Holy See has an increasingly important voice in issues involving science and technology, education, and culture on the mainland.

The current Pope Kevin Nicholas is a human being, one hundred and one years old, middle-aged in the Holy Order, who was elected pope twenty years ago, and like all of his predecessors, he spent a lot of energy on his dedication to advancing science and technology after his accession to the throne – but now it seems that his efforts have paid off.

"Russell, you should have received that message too. After a short small talk, the two sat down separately, and Kevin got down to business with a serious face.

"Is that the news of the demon's appearance?" Russell nodded in thought, "This news did surprise me, especially when I knew that Del Cora was involved in this matter. ”

In the letter, Mr. Lance said that Del Cola had played a very important role. Another middle-aged man wearing a golden royal dress and blonde hair walked over and answered, "This can basically confirm the judgment, the other party is a demon." I just don't know why it's here. ”

"Ron, have you offended your stylist?" Kevin looked at the gleaming man in front of him with some reluctance, "Why are you wearing such strange clothes?"

“...... It was an accident," Ron smiled wryly at his question, "Yesterday Leah brought gold earrings, and I said that gold is not pretty. ”

“...... You deserve it. The two said in unison.

Leah Cage is the wife of Ron Cage, Queen of the Empire of Adu, and a Holy Spirit Walker known as the Bow of Eternal Hunt, and Ron Cage is the Paladin of the Emperor and the Righteous Inquisitor. Nothing special.

At the very least, there's really nothing special in this hall.

In fact, what the three children did shocked so many that some people doubted the authenticity of the information. Kevin said of the three young men, "They really made a big contribution, and just the return of the dusty Kraken Sage can make a breakthrough in our relationship with the Kraken." Not to mention that they also thwarted the devil's plot - to be honest, there are quite a few people here who wish they could come to the meeting and stand on that podium. ”

"The older generation of Sages would not be surprised, as they are well versed in Cage and Sfiodor's ability to find trouble. Russell smiled nonchalantly, "I guess there will be a long time to discuss the invasion of demons today, and I will have to go up and speak." What a hassle. ”

"You're still so lazy, Russell, you have so many things to deal with every day. Kevin said, shaking his head.

"If this guy does me a favor, I'll be idle," Delkora punched Ron hard, but it didn't hurt for a paladin. Ron just sat down with a smile, pretending not to hear Russell's complaints.

"Russell, Ron, you're late. Saltania Shadow, dressed in a white robe, walked over, carrying a thick notebook in his hand, "I really regret taking this task, how are you going to compensate me?"

"We didn't expect them to be so playful. Ron laughed, "And that's a vacation, you haven't been back to work in three months, and the papers on your desk are probably higher than yours." ”

"Let them take care of it themselves, I've done everything and what do I want them to do," Saltagna said indifferently, "Your Majesty, I want to go to the Holy See for a few days after the council is over." Do you have any spare rooms in your palace?"

"I'll let them prepare. Kevin smiled and replied, "Those kids will be happy to have a Holy Order willing to guide them." ”

In fact, most of the daily life among the saints is like this. Although they are holy orders, they are still intelligent beings, and they also have their own joys and sorrows, and although they have to be stable because of their high position at work, those disguises are never brought to such occasions. The hall was noisy, but none of the Sages objected to it.

The council hall is a loose structure, with a semicircle of 500 seats around the rostrum, and the saints attending the meeting sit as they like. If there is an agenda item prepared by the Sage to be submitted for discussion, the agenda should be submitted to Mr. Lance and the Standing Committee of the Council Chamber half a month in advance, so as to pass it efficiently at the plenary meeting of the Council Hall. Statements on relevant topics may be made on the podium, and Mr. Reims normally chairs the meeting from the podium. Mr. Jean Reims presided over the meeting, which was also approved by all.

After all, Mr. Lance was fair enough, and he was the ancestor of everyone present.

One by one, the Sages sat down and entered their identity information into the identity verification crystal next to their seats. Three hundred and twenty-six seats lit up in turn, and finally, on the rostrum, Mr. Lance slapped the table, and the last crystal light lit up, announcing the official opening of the meeting.

"Before I get to the first topic, I would like to inform you about a contingency – which, of course, should already be known to all of you. ”

Mr. Lance nodded to the table, and the stack of papers on the table fell neatly into the hands of each of the participating Holy Orders. The Sages looked at the materials, their expressions becoming more serious.

"The legendary race: the demon has appeared. Moreover, it came with malice and for the purpose of aggression. We had to be on guard. Lance spoke slowly, "Richard Bryant had an encounter with that race, and the course of the battle and his analysis are documented, as well as the results of the analysis of their remnants. How exactly should we respond, how should we respond, and are we going to prepare for a continental-level war?"

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and then the discussion began.

"It seems that war is inevitable. Listening to the chatter in the hall, Ron shook his head imperceptibly.

"I just hope it's a skirmish. Kevin sighed, "We haven't experienced a major war in a thousand years. ”

"It's a good thing," Russell shrugged, "but since there's no way to avoid it, I'll have to go all out." ”
