A long red carpet rolled down the steps of the city hall all the way to the front of the town hall square, four small vehicles drove into the square silently, stopped accurately in front of the red carpet, and changed back to the usual equipment of the shadow chasers, with a costume-at least what she thought was a costume-dressed little girl Delia, out of the car, there were already several official-looking people waiting on the red carpet, and as soon as the eight people got out of the car, several people greeted them.

The irrelevant people around him had long been dispersed, and the guards were far away, so several officials no longer concealed it, and the official at the head stretched out his hands, shook Shuer's hand hard, and said with a smile: "Welcome, welcome to all the envoys from another world, I am Mirren, the chairman of the town hall of Sky City One Hundred and Seventy-five, please allow me to pay tribute to all the envoys on behalf of all the human beings of the Brown Star." ”

"Praise the Holy Spirit, praise the Lord. Shure drew a circle on his chest with his free hand, and after a few gestures, his glowing fingers ran in front of the Speaker, "In the holy name of the Lightless Moon, bless the Brown Star, bless Your Excellency the Speaker, and may the friendship between the two worlds endure." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Messenger, for your kind words. Obviously, the Speaker already knew the identity of the priesthood of the Monks, and knew the characteristics of the actions of the priests of the native world from ancient records, so he was not surprised by his performance, and naturally smiled and turned back to guide, "A few messengers, please come in, we have been waiting for a long time. ”

"Please. Shure also responded with the professional smile of the clergy, and the two walked side by side towards the interior of the town hall, and the others naturally followed the two camps on the left and right, stepping on the red carpet and climbing the stairs, disappearing into the gate of the town hall.

Usually the city hall is always a busy scene, the staff of various departments come and go and shuttle, but today is different, today the city hall is silent, all departments are on vacation, no staff appears, of course, there are still a large number of guards in the building, it can be regarded as three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, to ensure that there will never be irrelevant people into the city hall.

Under the personal guidance of the Speaker, the Shadow Chasers walked into the room on the side of the building, and as soon as they entered the room, the corners of everyone's mouths twitched.

The room is not big, only more than 200 square meters at most, two semi-circular long tables want to be placed in the middle of the room, near the side of the door, it should be a place prepared for the shadow chasers, because on the wall opposite them, there are hundreds of display screens, each screen has a different face, the vast majority of them are middle-aged people in their forties and fifties, there are also a few elderly people, and there is no young person, obviously, these are the people who are attending the meeting today, no wonder the black market president said that it was a global conference before, presumably these people are the high-level leaders of each floating city, representing their own cities, and participating in the meeting through remote communication。

As soon as the shadow chasers entered the door, in the dense images on the wall, everyone stood up, Shul smiled, and bowed slightly to his chest against the display wall: "Shul Wright, on behalf of the world of Pavatiga, on behalf of the gods of Pavatiga, on behalf of the members of the Pavadiga tribe, I would like to extend my sincere greetings to the intelligent beings of the other world." ”

The people in the video, including the speaker next to him and several officials who followed, also responded with their own local understanding, and they didn't know what etiquette to use to respond to these visitors from the other world, so the black market president also came forward to discuss with Xiuer. This is a matter of course, and the local world has never experienced communication between worlds, and has no similar experience, so if you don't want to make a joke, you definitely need to ask the other party for advice first, which is also a sign of respect.

In fact, Shuer didn't know, but he could make it up, so the two sides agreed in advance, and they could use the etiquette used in their respective worlds. In fact, this is not entirely made up, and the various races of the Pavatiga world do this when they are in formal contact, so it can be seen that there is nothing unreasonable about it.

"Let me introduce you to the messengers. When both sides were seated, Speaker Mirren got up again and pointed to a middle-aged man in uniform beside him, "This is the representative of the city's military, General Rannet, the supreme commander of the whole army." ”

"This is the director of the City Institute, Dr. Solstad. ”

"Ms. Natalia, Director of the City's Living Archives. ”

"Mr. Clement, Minister of Economic Affairs, Head of the Storage and Transportation Center. ”

Ms. Jessica, Minister of Industry, Head of the Production Center. ”

Each time one was introduced, the corresponding person would stand up to greet him, and when Clement from the Ministry of Economy was introduced, the shadowchasers looked the same on the surface, but they felt quite strange in their hearts.

It's no wonder that the black market is unimpeded in the city, no wonder there are always a variety of quota products in the black market's manifests, and no wonder the black market dares to say that it can have some influence on the decision-making of the city hall. Because their president is one of the people who control the highest power in the city, Clement, who is in charge of storage, transportation and economy, and any transportation of goods must pass through him, except for him, even the chairman of the city hall may not be able to support the operation of the black market. Although he changed his voice when he greeted him just now, his usual demeanor and small movements still revealed his identity. Of course, maybe he didn't want to hide it at all, but the shadow chasers were also very knowledgeable, and they all cooperated with him to pretend that he never knew him.

"It's been a pleasure to meet everyone. After the two sides finished their introductions, Shul barely said any kind words, and went straight to the point, "Time is money, this is a common truth that we have traveled in several worlds, and I think you should have a similar aphorism." We don't expect to spend much time in this world, and we can't afford to squander it, not to mention that it is shameful to waste time, so I suggest that you abandon the politeness you are used to and say what you have to say. I don't think you took this meeting so seriously just to talk to us about the local customs. ”

"Since Mr. Scheuer is so blunt, then we are offended, and as the convener of this meeting, I will ask a question first. Clement, the president of the Black Market and the city's Minister of Economy, was the first to ask, "We would like to know the characteristics and history of the civilization to which you belong." ”

"Heh, I see. Shur had already guessed that the other party would ask similar questions at the beginning, after all, no matter what kind of cooperation is carried out, mastering the characteristics of each other's civilizations is a prerequisite, "The characteristics of our civilization are completely different from yours, we are a higher civilization developed from a magical civilization. ”

"Magic?" It was obvious that on the display wall, the expressions of many city representatives were a little strange, a word that only appeared in ancient legends, making them feel very unfamiliar.

"Mia, Miriday. ”

"Whew", a flame, an ice pick, instantly appeared on the left and right sides of the mountain elf, the scorching heat and icy temperature, so that the officials on the opposite side had to admit that this was not an illusion, at the same time, Militi snapped her fingers, more than a dozen eerie green flames surrounded her, and swirling black gas emerged from around her, permeating the conference hall.
