In the French city of the Odin Empire, there is a historic castle. On the dome of the main hall of the castle is the largest fresco in human history.

The content of the mural covers all the major events that took place during the rise of mankind from the rise of the gods to the domination of the epic continent from the time of the ancient gods to the end of the establishment of the Holy Religion. The frescoes are connected end to end to form a ring, surrounded by thirteen objects of different shapes.

The name of the castle is called Castle of the Round Table, and the name of the fresco is called Terran Epic.

It is the site of the United Council of Mankind, one of the most sacred places for all mankind.

In the solemn and ornate conference hall, eleven representatives of the four empires and the three principalities sat around a quaint round stone table, waiting for the start of this joint meeting.

The parliamentarians of the Odin Empire were represented by two generals in armor. His beard and hair are all white, but he is still brave and strong is General Uzi, who also has another identity, that is, the prince of the Odin Empire. The other middle-aged general was a bit short and dark-skinned, but his momentum was not weaker than that of Prince Uzi, his name was Sultan, and he was the commander of the Excalibur Legion of the Odin Empire.

The two councillors of the Titan Empire are represented by one and the other. Dressed in a noble robe with a bloody elk insignia on his chest was the Imperial Minister of Foreign Affairs, Marquis Scan. The other representative was dressed as a knight, and if he had not known in advance, many would have mistaken him for a bodyguard. But none of the other ten council representatives present dared to ignore his existence because of this, because his name was Arthur, and he was a twenty-second-order dragon knight.

The representatives of the Councillors of the Holy Empire actually represent two separate forces. The Marquis Rommel represents the will of the Holy Empire, and the First Consul of the Papal Chamber, Archbishop Eugene, represents the will of His Majesty the Holy Pope.

The councillors of the Kushan Empire were represented by two old men dressed as old nobles, one was the Duke of Esoni and the other was the Marquis of Cadoff.

The representative of the Duchy of Welf is a mage, his name is Dumo, and he is the vice president of the Mage Guild.

The remaining two are Alva, the parliamentarian representative of the Duchy of Saxony, and Bazel, the parliamentarian representative of the Duchy of Lorraine.

There was only one thing to be discussed at this meeting, and that was the murder of Father Raul, which took place before a month of prayer.

The characterization of the word "killed" was given by the Holy Empire, while the Titan Empire firmly opposed it, believing that Father Raul was seeking his own death and had nothing to do with their Titan Empire.

The killing of Father Raul really caused a great shock in Jerusalem. Many of the faithful rushed to tell each other, and then began to gather in the city, wanting to ask the Titan Temple for an explanation on behalf of Father Raul.

But it was not only in Jerusalem, but also in the rest of the continent. And outside of Jerusalem, only some big names in the Titan Empire and the Holy Empire knew the inside story of the incident.

The incident itself can be big or small, and it is not so serious that it needs to be discussed in the United Council of Mankind, but in the end, the development of the matter is beyond everyone's expectations.

The mercenary captain who had supported Father Raul in establishing a chapel stood up and arranged for all his team members to leave Jerusalem and come to all the counties of the Holy Empire to tell the common people and ordinary believers about Raul's life.

The words spoken did not carry any subjective will, nor did they carry any evaluation. However, it was such a bland speech that touched everyone.

So half a month after the incident, the whole Holy Empire knew that there was a priest Raul who had dedicated his all to the God of Light, and that he had written a legend in Jerusalem with his life.

Hundreds of millions of believers began to be angry and began to regret. Their wills eventually converged into a terrifying torrent that smashed into the city of St. Caesar, before His Majesty the Pope and Alexander the Great.

In the face of surging public opinion, the two giants of the Holy Empire and the Holy Religion have the same opinion, that is, to hold a joint council of mankind, hold the parties involved, the Titan Empire, and the Titan Temple accountable at the meeting, and posthumously crown Father Raul as an honorary cardinal archbishop.

The Marquis Rommel sorted out his thoughts, secretly calculating in his heart the true thoughts of His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Pope.

It is clear that the murder of Father Raul was exploited by someone with a heart, and their real purpose was to start another holy war.

They thought that they would be able to achieve their goal by controlling public opinion, but His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Pope only threw out two dispensable responses, and the public sentiment quickly subsided, and the course of events returned to the right path in favor of the Holy Empire and the Holy Religion.

couldn't help but sneer, Marquis Rommel secretly said in his heart, isn't the United Council of Mankind the best place to fight each other and pass the buck to each other?

Thinking of this, the Marquis Rommel slowly looked at the other councillors present with his eyes, and then spoke slowly.

"Prince Uzi, Sultan Legionn, can we begin?"

"Let's get started. Prince Uzi nodded, signaling that it was time to begin.

Marquis Rommel coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and began to plead.

"Delegates, we are gathered here today to discuss a distressing and devastating event that has caused great damage to our Holy Empire. I'm sure all of you here know the whole story, Father Raul was brutally murdered, and his killer is still protected by the Titan Temple and the Titan Empire. ”

"Father Raul is a mainstay of our Holy Church and a legend of Jerusalem. His passing is a huge blow to hundreds of millions of people in our country and an unforgivable blasphemy against the God of Light. Therefore, on behalf of His Majesty the Pope and His Majesty the Emperor, I am here today to solemnly protest against the Titan Empire. In accordance with the Human Pact, we demand that the other side hand over the murderer and publicly mourn Father Raul, as well as atone for the great God of Light. ”

After the Marquis Rommel finished speaking, there was a brief silence in the conference room.

After a moment, the Titan Empire's Foreign Affairs Minister Marquis Scanner said in a confrontational voice.

"Please pay attention to your words, Marquis Rommel, the murder of Father Raul is only your side of the story, and I have here sufficient evidence to prove that it was Father Raul himself who begged for his death. May I ask the delegates, is it moral, legal, and human conventions for a person who committed suicide in front of the Titan Temple and finally shifted the responsibility to our Titan Empire?"

"No, it doesn't. So the whole thing is completely unilateral grandstanding and vexatious by the Holy Empire. I would like to solemnly state that the death of Father Raul has nothing to do with our Titan Empire, and we will not apologize for this matter. On the contrary, we, the Titans, will also reserve the right to pursue Father Raul's provocations, after all, he committed suicide at the door of our sacred temple. ”

After the Marquis of Scanner finished speaking, he had been instructed by the Emperor of the Titan Empire before leaving, and he also knew that this meeting would not discuss any substantive results at all, so at this moment he was completely indifferent.

Marquis Rommel slapped the table heavily, and said with a grim face: "Now it is the people of our Holy Empire who are dead, and you dare to speak wildly and slander our heroes at such a sacred meeting." Can I think that you are provoking the Holy Empire and the Holy Religion, and can I think that you are deliberately trying to provoke a war between the two countries?"

Fighting with words and arguing is completely familiar to the two foreign ministers. Therefore, as soon as the meeting began, the verbal exchange between the two did not stop, while the remaining nine parliamentary representatives just watched the play silently on the sidelines.

However, the Marquis Rommel and the Marquis of Scanner never managed to win each other's quarrels, and as time went on, the two began to greet each other's families as the quarrels became more and more intense.

The unpleasant words kept coming out one after another, causing Prince Uzi to frown and laugh. But he was used to such a scene, and he knew that it was time for him to step forward and stop the two from continuing to argue.

Slapping the table hard, Prince Uzi interrupted the endless exchange of foreign affairs between the two foreign ministers.

"Two Marquises, this is the United Council of Mankind, one of the most sacred places in all mankind, can you restrain yourself and stop spitting filthy words?"

After saying that, Uzi looked at the rest of the people before continuing to speak.

"Let's share our opinions. Duke Esoni, you are the person who has participated in the United Council of Mankind the most times among the delegates here, so let me tell you about it first. ”

"Huh?" said Duke Elsoni in astonishment.

For more than 3,000 years, the Kushan Empire has had a very small voice in the United Council of Humans, and they have always played the role of echo worms very well.

As the representative of the Kushan Empire, the Duke of Esoni has been carefully studying the intricate carved patterns on the round stone table from the moment he entered the conference room and sat down, as if it contained the world's greatest secret.

So when he was asked to speak by the Prince of Uzi, the Duke of Esoni was stunned for a long time before he opened his mouth, but still did not utter a complete sentence.

Finally, after waiting for half a prayer, Duke Esoni slowly spoke with difficulty: "We, the Kushan Empire, abstained. ”

With a little headache and helplessness, Prince Uzi stretched out his right hand and touched his forehead. He was a little speechless, even if your Kushan Empire is not strong, it is also one of the four great empires of mankind today, I didn't expect that Duke Esoni, who is a representative of the Imperial Council, would be so afraid.

He actually abstained from voting before the discussion was over, and then lowered his head and began to study the pattern on the surface of the stone table.

Prince Uzi would like to ask the Duke of Esoni, is the pattern on the stone table in front of you so interesting?
