Act X
Heidegger was stunned, and then he wanted to say something, but he found that he couldn't organize a complete sentence, and Heidegger felt his heart start to beat faster, and his hands trembled slightly.
Turning his head to look at the other rotating chairmen, Heidegger noticed that the others were in a similar situation, even the oldest Tagio was silent with a complicated expression on his face.
They weren't surprised, but the word meant too much, and it was the biggest stain on the El.
"The World Exposition has not been held for nearly a thousand years. β
After a long time, it was Tagio who spoke first.
"Mr. Rosen, do you understand what that word means?"
"Of course I know that the re-hosting of the World Exposition is not a long-cherished wish of the El?"
Rosen replied, calm in the face of Tagio's uncertain question.
"It is true that the Universal Exposition is not only a stage for self-expression, but also a tool for the El to keep in touch with the world. β
Tagio said, in a solemn tone.
"In fact, we don't lack the inventions to hold the Universal Exposition, and the Els alone have enough inventions every year to sustain this one, but what's the point, Mr. Rosen?"
"The dragons are in seclusion, the elves are dormant, the Firut are in a safe corner, the human race is in constant civil strife, and the ashes have been expelled from this world, and the Universal Exposition has long lost its most important meaning, which is to unite the various forces of order. β
Heidegger added, shaking his head, thinking to himself that this Rosen was really naΓ―ve.
The reason why the Eles have not held a World Exposition for so many years is not just because of technology.
"I know that. β
Rosen nodded at their words.
"So, I'm not just bringing this one machine with me. β
"Oh, really?"
Hearing Rosen's words, Tagio leaned forward slightly, as if waiting for what Rosen would say next.
Lawson slowly pulled out a parchment scroll from the Law Realm and slowly opened it.
The scrolls are written in ancient scripts, but Tag'o knows each one.
This is a replica of the ancient covenant.
When he was a child, his grandfather, an old craftsman who had witnessed the Holy War, had told him countless times about the Holy War, about the Ancient Covenant, about the Great War that had drawn the world into it, when he was still conscious.
"Even if you take out this fake, it's ......"
Heidegger knew the text, but he thought it was just a legend of the past, and that such a covenant would only be ridiculous today.
"Wait, the coat of arms underneath this is ......"
At a glance, Tagao swept to the end of the paperwork, where the representatives of several races were supposed to sign the contract.
At the moment, there are already several stamps and signatures there.
"The Rainbow Tower, Isrul, the Elven Court, the North Olympic Alliance, even the name of the dragon...... Where the hell did you get these signatures?"
The seal on it, Tagio, was very familiar, and there was no possibility of forgery before his eyes, and he looked at Rosen with puzzled eyes.
"Of course, I asked their representatives to sign them one by one. β
Lawson said, taking off his helmet.
Two dark flames lit up in the slightly dimly lit conference hall.
"You...... Are you the undead?"
Heidegger suppressed the urge to call the guards and looked into Rosen's empty eyes.
"Yes, I am the Ash King of Isrul. β
"The ...... of the Ash King"
Tagao also showed a look of disbelief at this time, the King of Ashes represents the will of Ash, since Ash was expelled from this world by the Templar many years ago, this vein has disappeared from people's sight, I didn't expect it to appear at this time.
Moreover, Lawson's previous identity was the messenger of the Rainbow Tower, which means that Isrul has at least reached a cooperation with the Rainbow Tower, and as for the Elven Court and the dragons, their ability to make a voice in seclusion is a signal in itself.
There is also the North Austrian Alliance, the commercial alliance dominated by the Firut clan, which has quietly concluded an alliance.
In this way, only the Greenwich of the Els and the chaotic human kingdom and the Templar have not signed this covenant.
"I want the Universal Exposition to be the venue for the signing of the new covenant, so I wonder if it can match the status of this exposition in your mind?"
Rosen's words silenced most of the master craftsmen.
Holding the Universal Exposition means that this covenant will be signed, so Greenwich may not be able to stay out of it as before, whether it is those who want to break this covenant, or the cultists of Chaos, they will be the target of attack.
That is, Greenwich will no longer be safe.
Since the Universal Exposition was no longer held, Greenwich's craftsmen seemed to have entered a mode of staying out of the way, ignoring all the disputes of the outside world, just like Taylor and Swift did at the beginning, turning their ears to what was going on outside the window and focusing only on their own creations, which is a very special way of survival.
If the Elven Court is physically isolated from the main material plane, then Greenwich is spiritually separated from this continent.
Now, if Rosen wants to drag this country back, it is actually quite difficult for him to do it alone, and the most important thing is to depend on the hearts of the El craftsmen.
Whether to choose to continue to sink and cover yourself with busyness, or to regain friendship and face the impending crisis.
He trusts these master craftsmen to make the right choice.
The entire chamber was silent for a long time, and finally it was Tagio who spoke.
"Let's just use the old way, and those who agree to hold the World Exposition again, please raise your hand. β
After saying that, Tagio hesitated for a moment, but still raised his right hand.
One after another, the master craftsmen raised their hands one after another, and even Heidegger chose to raise his hand after thinking for a long time with a solemn expression.
Rosen could see that all the master craftsmen present had raised their hands, without exception.
"It seems that the results are obvious. β
Tagio said, with an expression of helplessness or relief.
"So, how about this automatic machine as the opening display of the new World Expo?"
Lawson looked at the silent conference hall and spoke.
