Chapter 34: Repetition
The dark blue carriage slowly stopped at the gate of the Gewu Society, and the Pope of the Seagod, who was over half a hundred years old, still had a strong physique, not at all like an old man.
"You're late, even the high priest of the orcs and the head of the dwarven Turin Academy are faster than you. Chairman Gewu, who came out to greet him, teased.
"It's been a long time since I've been on land, and I've almost forgotten what dirt smells like, so I'm walking a little slower. ”
"You're kind, this meeting isn't here for a vacation. ”
The two walked into the door while laughing, not only them, but the popes of the major churches are old acquaintances, and it is just a matter of whether the relationship is good or bad.
Summer in Evos is rainy, and soon a light rain arrives, shrouding the entire city in haze.
In this kind of weather, the staff on duty of the Gewu Club still stood in the rain and stuck to their posts.
Not only them, but the entire headquarters of the Gewu Society was surrounded by water on the third floor and the outer three floors, and the personnel of each church were vigilant to prevent possible dangers.
It was a rare gathering, and one that could go down in history, where all the great powers of the whole world gathered.
The underground secret room of the headquarters of the Gewu Society, where the lights shine brightly, is enough to see everyone's faces.
Light, Poseidon, Night, God of War, Pope of the Four Great Churches, High Priest of the Orcs, Dean of the Dwarven Academy, and Representative of the President of the Gewu Society.
Removing the elves of the Western Continent that have been closed so far, as well as the unorganized Death Worshippers, all the spokesmen of the orthodox beliefs in the North and South Continents have arrived.
With the addition of Duke Roy, the representative of the Duchy of Solan, and the chief minister of the Kaia Empire, this small secret room has the power to influence the entire world.
"Uh...... Ahem, it's been a long time since there has been such a gathering, although it was initiated by the Church of Light, but after all, it was in Evos, and the Gewu Society would fulfill the friendship of the landlord. ”
Representing the Gewu Society was Kvass, who is now permanently blind in one eye, but he is still in high spirits and does not show signs of decay.
"Everyone knows the specific reasons, so don't talk nonsense, everyone knows what to do, and say their opinions. The Night Pope said in a hoarse voice.
"This is not the attitude to discuss such things, Pope of the Night. The newly appointed Pope of Light retorted.
"Oh, don't you believe in your beast god anymore, a werewolf has become the spokesperson of the god of light. ”
"Everyone has their own beliefs, and the beast gods are only responsible for giving us life. The orc high priest explained.
Before the meeting began, the atmosphere gradually became anxious, and the others were silent, and the two spokesmen of the royal family of the human kingdom planned to watch from the sidelines.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Kvas hurriedly played a round and reiterated what was important now.
"Regarding the Scarborough Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry, when it comes to the last era, I believe that everyone's internal texts have recorded it, we don't need to discuss what the truth was back then, the primary goal now is that another world is coming at us, and we have no idea what the consequences will be. ”
Everyone gradually calmed down, and then the orc high priest spoke: "Actually, there are indeed not many records about this matter in the parliament mountain, mentioning that Scarbro seems to have discovered something in the last era, but the words are vague, if it weren't for this incident, we still don't understand the meaning of it." ”
Everyone nodded, indicating that there had been a few words in their own books, and then the meeting became lively, and everyone spoke their own suggestions.
Some say that they will gather all their forces and wait for the last moment to come, some say that they will open up the Raging Sea as soon as possible and contact the elves of the Western Continent, and some even suggest taking the initiative to find a way out of the world.
Rhetorical countermeasures are becoming more and more fanciful, but none of them can be agreed upon by everyone.
At this moment, the dean of the Dwarf Academy suddenly knocked on the table: "Actually, we can analyze the possible consequences first, if the two worlds will slowly merge, we can gather forces and wait to see what the other party's attitude is, maybe it's not a bad thing." ”
"If the collision of two worlds is a great destruction, then all of us have nothing to do but pray to the gods and ask them to come, but ......"
The dwarven dean didn't finish his words, but looked around with a self-deprecating smile, but no one dared to look at him.
Because he said what no one dared to say, none of the strange ways just now mentioned that they could ask the gods for protection.
"But how long has it been since we all heard the voice of the gods—a hundred years, two hundred years, five hundred years?"
"It's all the time. Pope Poseidon sighed, "We haven't heard the voice of the gods since the beginning of the record, since the last epoch has passed. ”
Silence, the sound of needles falling in the chamber, as a representative of the gods' faith, this is a scar that they desperately want to hide, and they have never received anything in return from the gods.
"Perhaps...... After the defeat of Scarborough, what else happened that has been drowned in the long river of history, and we do not know. The God of War Pope spoke suddenly.
"One more point. Kvass nodded, "Where are the collision points between the two worlds? ”
"Then it's a place......
"The hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen, and the world has been in chaos for a long time after the destruction there......"
The Chamber of Secrets fell silent again, and everyone knew where it was.
Scarborough.
......
The meeting did not disperse until late at night, and the spokesmen of the various forces all decided on a basic idea.
Whether it's to figure out where the worlds collide or to find out the key to the disappearance of a god, Scarbro is a place to be.
It wasn't that they didn't want to go before, but none of them succeeded, and according to the Church of Light, a Pope of Light had secretly explored it four hundred years ago, but it also stopped in front of a large lake of floating corpses.
But the events of Ferrante and Sost and others made them realize that maybe this time they could succeed.
As the night's meeting dissolved, everyone began to contact their respective forces, intending to explore it together as soon as possible.
In the words of the God of War Pope, they are going to set foot on Scarborough once again.
In front of the headquarters of the Gewu Society, Duke Roy and the God of War Pope walked side by side, discussing the interests of the Duchy of Solan.
"It won't be long, maybe three days, maybe two days before we can go, this meeting is not only a place to discuss countermeasures, but also a sophisticated war machine. The God of War Pope said with his head bowed.
"I hope there will be a battle, at least not the day when everyone will disappear and destroy for no reason. Duke Roy shook his head and smiled.
"Aren't you a believer in the God of Light? I thought you'd pray to the gods that maybe the people of the other world would be as good as we we, so that everyone would be fine. ”
Duke Roy laughed even harder: "You are the Pope, the God of War Pope, aren't you afraid of being spurned by believers when you say such things?"
"His Majesty the God of War hasn't seen us for a long time...... By the way, there is a letter from China, which has just arrived, about your son Ferrante. ”
Duke Roy took the letter in confusion, and when he saw the content of the letter, his eyes changed several times, and his fingers were about to tear the letter apart, but in the end he sighed.
"When I return, I will ask Your Majesty for my guilt. ”
"But you don't feel much guilt in your heart, do you? You have been educating Ferrante in this way, and now he finally has his own independent thoughts, but the steps are too big. ”
"You're a reckless man, you know a fart!"
Duke Roy uttered an uncharacteristically swear word, and then boarded the carriage and left without looking back.
