Section 1: Rumors of the Sky (I)
In the first stanza, sometimes there is a chance for certain quips to prove themselves right, and now it is the turn of "the end of one dispute, most likely the beginning of another".
The facts that verify it are: after the end of the twists and turns of the "hunting battle" on the West Coast, news about this war began to circulate everywhere~ On the fifth day of the end of the war, the great,
The right, ethereal Council of the Firmaments decided not to block the news anymore.
If you are an outsider, you must think that this kind of behavior of the parliament is very strange. Because the Firmament Council kept news from the West Coast tightly sealed during the war. But after the war, why did you choose the strange time of the fifth day to lift the restrictions?
The nominal highest arbitration institution of mankind actually lacks a fair and upright temperament, and it is too daring!
People who are familiar with the ins and outs of the Firmament Council will not see it this way, and those who are particularly familiar with it may have to praise it twice: "The old men are so fast this time, it's not easy!"
At this time, the authority of the Firmament Council had been restored to a high level. Empires, alliances, powers, and even some families have sent permanent delegations to the Parliament, ready to fight for their interests.
However, among these many forces, there are not a few who are involved in the war on the West Coast. Therefore, if you want to pass any relevant decision, you must compete with your opponent.
Even a small proposal like "lifting the ban on messages" takes a lot of effort. Because the Church of Radiance is a behemoth, it is actually very efficient for the proposer to suppress it for only five days.
Thanks to the efforts of some people, ordinary people under the rule of countries or forces can finally have access to these outdated news.
They were taken aback first, as long as there was a war, no matter where it was fought, the common people would be shocked when they heard it. Because they are civilians who have accumulated their family fortunes with blood and sweat, but are unable to fight the disaster, they have a high sense of vigilance against war.
Ordinary people are limited by the environment, and their ability to discern fluctuates, so at the beginning, there were a lot of s?s mixed in the horns, and curses and false accusations flew all over the sky. The most abundant impurities"
It is a slander against the Silver Coast and a slander against the Thorn Rose.
People have a headache and don't know how to distinguish the real from the fake. But gradually a turning point appeared, and before the water came out, this matter had become very interesting, and the ending was surprisingly weak, and Yintao City actually won!
Ordinary wars are not qualified to make people fascinated and hot, but who makes the forces involved in this war very representative? In addition, the process is thrilling and tortuous, and there is a very dramatic ending? This is exactly the part that ordinary people love the most!
They can't judge who is good and who is bad, and they can't share the same hatred with the Silver Coast" It's just that they are suppressed by the Glorious Church and nobles every day, and there are many dissatisfaction in their hearts. Moreover, "the coalition army was completely annihilated", "the apostles fled", and "all the eggs were dead", ordinary people don't have much chance to say it......
One can imagine how uncomfortable the nobles will be. The Radiant Church is especially uncomfortable, many people hate it so much that they keep cursing the bastards who insist on opening up the news, and even scolding their own representatives in the council, why not stop it!?
They wronged the representative of the Church in the Council of the Firmament, "This king has tried his best to stop it, but he has not succeeded."
Some of the old immortals in the sky have a keen sense of smell, and they think that this war can be used to fight the church, so they have been planning for a long time, and lifting the ban is a breakthrough for their ya. "It's the first step.
Why did you choose this event?
Because at the critical moment of the war, in order to force the Radiant Church to relent, the Firmament Council once issued a notice about the "Oath Opening" event, and the forces of the empire or above have received it, and it is speculated that with the ability of human beings to keep secrets, a few people know about it, which means that all mankind knows.
At best, it's only a matter of time.
Such a secret is no longer a secret, and many people think that it is impossible to continue to hide it, but there are also many people who think that it makes sense to continue to hide it.
Therefore, at the scene of the discussion of the announcement of the lifting of the ban by the Celestial Council, the representative of the Radiant Church stationed in the Celestial Council jumped up directly: "Oppose! resolutely oppose! + passion"
This well-looking old man waved his arms and roared loudly: "This matter is related to the dignity of our association! You must not make a hasty decision!"
It must be pointed out that it was the morning meeting of the Blue Sky Hall. The Blue Sky Hall is located in the majestic palace,
The majestic palace was built in the firmament woodland, and the position of the firmament woodland was erratic, hence the name of the Firmament Council.
The majestic palace is the central area of the council, and the Blue Sky Hall is the central area of the center.
The morning meeting held here has the most participants and the most disputes, so the roaring venue,
Thunderstorm is an integral part of every wing, and the above information can only be obtained by human leaders with clearance level 7 or above.
The people who are qualified to sit in the blue sky hall are almost all white-bearded old men and white-headed old girls.
They are experienced, and they only need to look at the posturing of the church representative to understand the reason for the incident, and the supernatural image of a certain apostle rubbing against the wall in Yintao City has been circulated through the black market.
Those who were not implicated in this war remained still, kept quiet, and watched the church people perform coldly. The expressions of the people involved were different, most of them were expressionless, a few were smiling slightly, and even a strange voice came out: "This decision is still hasty? How many days has the war ended?"
"Shut up!" suddenly burst out from the high platform of the hall, and the impact was so strong that people's hearts were shocked.
Everyone looked up and saw that the morning meeting host was putting away his giant shape-shifting mace, or maybe it should be called a flail. The host of the morning meeting definitely didn't dare to replace the mallet with a mace or something, but he was also the rotating chairman of the current session, as long as the black old man didn't knock on the table with other people's heads.
"Wait a minute. There is also a dog-legged helper beside the speaker: "Let Your Excellency the speaker ask questions first!"
"Well, the Speaker took the murder weapon satisfied.
"Who was you just now. When asked, the rotating speaker frowned, so the furrow on his face deepened again, to the extent that he could trap a small animal: "What do you say is about something?"
The powers and responsibilities of the Rotating Speaker "are similar to those of a judge, presiding over the meeting more than directly deciding." It doesn't seem to be very pleasant, but the advantage is that you can relieve your hatred, use resource allocation, and grant or record the right to speak as a means to tease all kinds of representatives.
"Your Excellency," said the representative of the church seat with an awe-inspiring face: "It is a matter of the dignity of our association!"
"I have a headache" The speaker bit the black cigarette holder, slowly took out the old tobacco leaves, and spread them on the crystal jade table and pressed and rolled, symbolizing the high platform of power and glory, just like the head of the field: "Can you speak in words that I can understand?"
The rotating speaker in front of him "will never give a good face to the people of the Shining Church." Because he came out of a distant area, he was commonly known as the native, that is, he was called "a person who discriminated against the church" or "a person who discriminated against the church."
"Your Excellency the Rotating Speaker!" the representative of the church seat trembled slightly, his face full of anger, but there was nothing he could do about the speaker. The natives pretended to be stupid, and the choice of stunts must be poor communication, in fact, the apostles occasionally used this trick.
After a brief exchange of glances and confrontations, Representative Xi's aggressive momentum was released, and he was "forced" to reduce his "taste" to the same level as his opponent" and re-expressed it in plain language: "If we don't continue to block the news, what will happen to the face of our church?"
"Look, as soon as you speak human words, I understand!"
"However, what does it have to do with the accident on the West Coast? Could it be that the Glorious Church also participated in this group fight? You swore yesterday that you didn't go!" ”
No matter what happened at the venue or what the two said, the participants would not interject, and they kept their original expressions unchanged, which was not only a silent statement, but also for fear of being involved in the conversation between the two...... Because the situation is complicated enough.
"We have never acknowledged the Church's involvement in the West Coast dispute, and there is another point: "Your Excellency, it was a war!"
"Since you didn't fight, what's going on with your face?"
"Your Excellency, I must stress once again that it was a war!
"You pull it down, that's a group fight!"
The representative of the church seat tried to correct the statement of the rotating speaker, but the other party was unusually stubborn. So the next dialogue enters the opposing mode: on the one hand, it is elegant, fashionable, imaginative and artistic, while on the other side it is popular, simple, and full of old people.
After removing all sorts of meaningless obstacles and pitfalls, their substantive dialogue looks more or less like this.
"The smoke of war spreads quickly, and if it is not restricted, it will be stained on the clean face of the church......"
"The face of the church will be stained with smoke from so far away, and their fight is so big?"
"Your Excellency doesn't have to dwell on metaphors, just put yourself in our shoes and consider the situation of our council!"
"What disease do I have to do to think of myself as a priest, to call so-and-so a father, in my country and in my tribe, all monogamous, and our good woman "don't want to touch anyone but her husband!
The participants still maintained a sacrosanct look, but most of them laughed in their hearts, and the rotating speaker was attacking a certain god for being a sao commodity and liking to provoke married fu girls!
Speaking of which, the Speaker likes to rightfully scold the true God, "You can make a big detour for this."
Insulting the true God is very serious anywhere else" The people of the Glorious Church will surely arrest the blasphemer without saying a word, and burn him to death with fire, and the executioner will be very patient to burn the matches, one by one, little by little.
But this is the Council of the Firmament.
Decades ago, the Radiant Church had badly injured the Rotating Speaker in a dispute, but they paid a heavy price when the half-built Fourth Holy City and its mountain of materials were reduced to ashes.
The fire burned for seven days, but no one dared to save it. The reason is simple, the Council of the Firmament is also a concentration of scum, and it is worse than the scum of the church. They even wrote to the church in the name of "the famous": If the fire is extinguished, we will burn a bigger city next time, with people.
Therefore, in the Council of the Firmament, the representatives of the Radiant Church have learned to be patient, and there is a reasonable explanation for such things: if the true God is angry, he will definitely send down an oracle, and if there is no oracle, then it shows that the true God is not offended!
It's just that when the matter is born, the mouths of the parties still have to stir. Because it has to do with the attitude of the Church, for example, this one said, "I have no right to explain the actions and intentions of the true God!"
"So your true god likes bad women?"
"That's not the case!" Representative Xi knew that the next question and answer would become salty and wet, so he immediately cut off the topic: "All in all, the dignity of our association will be damaged by the spread of news of the war!"
There's no doubt about that!"
"You scare me. ”
"Not a ...... of intimidation"
"No, yes, what's the matter with me with dirty stuff on your face?"
"Your Excellency, I must warn you in advance. If my dignity is damaged, I will definitely be in the same group, and I will ...... at that time."
"You coax me. ”
"Not a lie"
"My youngest son is only three years old, he knows that before going to bed, after getting up, I will wash your face, how old are you? You don't wash your face when it's dirty? I fork your face, do you think it's more convenient to fight in a group than to wash your face? Or is it that such a big church doesn't have a cloth to wash your face?"
When the rotating speaker sprayed and rolled up his sleeves, the church seat representatives had to retreat. Because the native's sleeve is a warning gesture, indicating that the natives will use another of his magic weapons, which is to slap his face. It's not a metaphor, it's a real person slapping in the face.
The habit of the rotating speaker is to grab the opponent's collar with one hand, and slap the other hand and pump it fiercely!
The advantage of slapping is that it will not hurt people, so it will not cause big trouble, of course, you have to practice it to become the professional skill of the Firmament Council A representative of the church must be vigilant, because the other party's calloused and barbed palm edge will definitely rub his carefully maintained face
Let's save your face first, as for the face of the church, just like the epilogue of the rotating speaker: Even if your skin is clear and jade, and it can be broken by blowing, isn't it normal to get dirt?
Wash it yourself!
Because the rotating speaker was so arrogant, the Glorious Church's plan to block the lifting of the ban was frustrated.
But they expected nothing to be expected of the clergy's character, and they soon came up with another option, which was to put pressure on local forces to make deals with them to issue gag orders at the secondary level.
The selection criteria on the part of the church are obvious: it's okay to be ashamed, but it's okay to be disgraced.
The local forces will definitely not be able to bear the behemoth, they want benefits, symbolic resistance and half push and half order.
It's also a ban, but the announcement of local forces can manage the people, and those with higher status will be powerless. For example, military academies and military institutions, where a large number of young officers are discussing this matter, they immediately became a new source of communication......
But there's a reason for that.
