Chapter 778: One Step Ahead
Hanako understands the reason behind this.
She knew why Militus looked so unnatural that she cringed when the plan had passed.
The reason behind this, she can guess somewhat.
Mainly because the place of Godfall is too special.
As a member of the Divine Habitat Raiders Group, the predecessor of the Divine Habitat Guild, she knew what had happened on the side of the Divine Fall, and she also knew what had happened to the Divine Habitat before. As a beta player of this guild, or even an alphabet player of this game, everything you need to know is known to you.
"Lorika them...... There is no consent. Militus continued to speak from the stage, his eyes fixed on the floor beneath his feet, "So the plan is just the bare minimum to pass. β
"Militus."
At this moment, under the podium, a man with long black hair and heavy armor stood up and fixed his eyes on Militus on the stage.
"I don't think it makes sense for us to just pass." The man didn't have a nameplate on his head, but that didn't prevent others from recognizing his identity, "This kind of decision-making is a matter of great importance, and I think it should be left to the members of the guild as a whole to judge." β
"Hmm......" Militus nodded silently as he looked at the black man, "I think you're right, Concordia, we should do what we said that day - give the decision on this matter to the guild members and let them vote." β
"So."
Concordia shook off her heavy cloak, then stepped straight up the steps of the podium and stood beside Militus, clearing her throat.
"As for whether or not to form a team to explore the Godfall, please vote on it."
Concordia's momentum is obviously much stronger than Militus just now, and it seems that he does not have an obvious sense of fear about this matter like Militus.
However, before the crowd could start voting on the matter, a bald man in an overcoat walked up to the podium from the other side.
"How many times have I said it before, it's too early for us, do you really not believe it?"
It was the aforementioned Lorika, who was now holding a knife in his hand and walked up menacingly.
"No, Lorika, I don't think we can put it off any longer!" Concordia turned to look at Lorica and said loudly, "I think we should start exploring this matter, or we may not even have time to regret it when someone else robs us of the secret!" β
"Rob?!" Lorica, the tall man, shook her head, "I don't think you understand what kind of being we're up against, and I don't think those people can enter the Godfall before we do. β
"That's hard to say." Militus, who had been standing aside, finally spoke, "Although we are now far ahead of the guild rankings, we ...... The real enemies, I think, are those who don't have a guild. β
"No one knows what their strength is now." Militus sighed, "I just had a face-to-face with that Hikotsuki Hokusai last time, and I was shocked by his momentum, so I don't think their strength is really as we imagined." β
"So, I think it's safest to leave this matter to the members to judge." Concordia glanced at all the guild members in the audience, then returned her gaze to Lorika.
Lorica choked on the words of the two, and the knife in his hand was also tightly clenched in his hand, and there was a creaking sound from the hilt.
Apparently he wanted to defend something, but he couldn't.
Because he understands that what he insists on is ultimately just his own opinion.
"None of you are wrong." At this time, a young man in a long shirt with a headband also jumped up from the stage and patted Concordia and Lorica on the shoulder, "You are just loving this guild in your own way, no matter who it is. β
"Rublum ......" Concordia looked at the young man in the long shirt and wanted to say something, but in the end he only sighed and didn't say a word.
"I support their views, and I think I made that clear when we voted internally." Rublum walked up to Lorica's side, looked at his side face and said, "This matter really can't be delayed any longer, because just now, I got the latest news - Hokusai and his people are already preparing to head towards the place of the godfall. β
"What?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone, including Llorica, focused on Rublum.
"You mean really?!" Lorica's reaction was particularly strong.
"Of course it's true, it's true." Lublum nodded, "Because I just came back from their castle tower, don't forget what my specialty is." β
Rublum is the best of the Four Heavenly Kings at gathering information and infiltrating assassinations, after all, he does have the best specialty class for this profession - ninja.
Therefore, when the people present heard the words that he had personally obtained information, they all showed convincing expressions.
"So...... I understand. Eventually, Lorica bowed her head to Rublum.
"Let's start the referendum."
Lorica turned and looked at the many guild members below, making a final compromise.
"It is necessary to take the views of the members into account, but there is no need for a referendum on whether or not to form a team."
Just as Lorica compromised, a cold voice echoed throughout the hall as if it had been diffused by a megaphone.
"It's him!"
"The president is here."
The hearts of all guild members jumped at the sound of this voice, which was only heard once every five weeks at a roulette meeting, including the fireworks of the night, who were accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves.
'Sneer, sneer, sneerβ'
Countless ice picks began to slowly coalesce on the podium, eventually forming the shape of a human being.
'Bang. β
Then the ice covering the human form cracked open in an instant, revealing the true face of the leader.
To be honest, if you have to find a word to describe the president, it is just two words at best.
He has a plain hairstyle, wears plain underwear, and can hardly find a distinctive place on his whole body except for the way he appears.
However, the aura exuded from his body was by no means comparable to that of ordinary people.
