Chapter 1446 Final Chapter (IV): A song of absurdity in the prosperous times
9571 of the Holy Calendar, Scarlet Moon, Melody 5th
Game time PM13:15, accompanied by the top of the obsidian obelisk With the beginning of the last round of meetings, this annual event has finally come to an end. Of course, we can also understand that the real issues of this exchange meeting have finally been put on the table.
The more important things, the more important things are left behind. This has been Academy City's practice since it broke away from the Sun Dynasty and started exchange meetings. The original reason was very simple, that is, airships in the air have not yet become popular and miracles When the city has not yet approved the mages' guilds to start teleportation services, transportation across the continent is not very convenient. Therefore, in order to ensure that every force can participate in important matters, the Academy City Elders Council chose this meeting process after weighing it. .
Everyone knows that this gathering itself is a platform for various forces to communicate. After all, the lords of the Violet Empire basically have no chance to deal with the members of the Silver Wing Alliance, and the elders of the Holy Mountain Sumir are usually not seen. The governor of Palmyra Port and the technical nerds of Artisan Town cannot make friends with investors. It is even more difficult for the saint of the Wealth Sect to chat with the powerful director of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce, but these things are not possible in Academy City. In exchange meetings, it can be achieved very easily.
This is exactly the meaning of communication, and this kind of communication and collision that truly belongs to the top level of the world's pyramid can have little positive effect.
The most obvious thing is the business opportunity. The two masters of Craftsman Town and Galahad Diesel have already received so many orders that they would wake up laughing in their dreams at night.
As for those that are not obvious, it would be too troublesome to elaborate on them one by one. Anyway, the most representative ones may be the Lord of Sin, the Priest of Lamorlock and the Second Princess Elisa, which have almost been completed. , just a small plan that needs to be put into practice.
All in all, putting the key issues at the end is very cost-effective. After all, everyone was already flirting with each other at that time, and both positions and judgments would be in a relatively mature state, so even if there are hundreds of After the New Year, the traffic situation was no longer a problem due to the gradual popularization of airships and teleportation arrays, and this tradition is still preserved to this day.
It is worth mentioning that in most cases, key issues are proposed by Academy City’s special investigators and are finalized after contacting various forces six months in advance. In addition, in view of Due to the position of the Elders Council as the organizer and the neutrality of Academy City itself, although they are responsible for the entire process of the meeting, once the exchange meeting officially begins, all processes will be 'solidified' by all parties to avoid any Subjective factors are mixed into it.
It is true that there have been many exchange conferences where the main topics were of low value, and there have been many more exchange conferences that did not put the objectively biggest issue on the table due to various reasons. However, the final topic of this exchange conference in 9571 of the Holy Calendar was The portion size is definitely unprecedentedly high.
There is no other reason than that the existence of the group of people tentatively named aliens is too eye-catching!

Game time PM23:15, Regent of the Violet Empire, His Highness Hugh Bresne walked into the two-story building that was once called the [Female Bee Tavern], but has now been transformed into the highest office of the Imperial Intelligence Agency. After waiting for about a cup of sweet honey water, Finally, I met the dwarf girl who was just a waiter who was so busy every day that she could not touch the floor half a year ago. Now she has become a dwarf girl with the name of "Blood Lady" and has shocked the whole violet - Na Bathory.
"It's been a hard journey."
His Royal Highness the Regent, who was not wearing his own black and purple striped, extremely luxurious 'work clothes', dressed like a commoner, nodded and smiled at Xiao Na, and then handed it to The latter had a glass of sweet honey water with ice, and said in a brisk tone: "I know you like to drink cold drinks, so I ordered an extra glass just now."
"Xiao Na is heartened by His Highness's kindness. "
The girl shook her head and declined, and said with a slightly embarrassed expression: "You also know that I teleported directly back from the Mage Guild in Academy City, which is really not hard work."
< br>"Haha, you, you, why did you suddenly become so reserved after going out for a run? There are no outsiders here. Don't be so serious. Just treat it like I'm inviting a friend to have a drink."
< br>
Xiu laughed dumbly and signaled Xiao Na not to be pretentious with him, and then sighed: "But I really didn't expect that even though this place is no longer open to the public, I can still order drinks. Tsk, it still tastes familiar."
Xiao Na sighed, shook his head and said: "Your Highness, please stop talking, I really don't want to drink."
Xiu blinked twice and asked curiously: "Why?"
“Do you want to hear the truth?”
“What is the lie?”
"I just came out of the teleportation array. I feel dizzy and not feeling well."
"What about the truth?"
"There is no honey in your cup of 'familiar taste'. I want to drink it." There's honey."
"..."
After a while, Xiucaipi put down the sugar water in his hand without a smile, and glared at the person sitting in front of him ( There are three cushions on the chair) Xiao Na: "Are you wronged?"
"No grievance."
Xiao Na shook his head quickly and said respectfully: "But if you let me deal with Mr. Tan Mo again, I might rebel."
Xiu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and waved his hand: "You are exaggerating. Tanmona is easy to get along with." , but I’m just an ordinary person.”
Xiao Na twitched the corners of his mouth with the same smile, and said decisively: “Anyway, don’t come to me if this happens again, let Corelia do it. Go ahead, she was frustrated because of your engagement to Grand Duke Crystal Wolf some time ago. Why not let her be responsible for communicating with Tan Mo in the future, so she can adjust her mood."
"Inappropriate."
Xiu frowned and said in a deep voice: "Tan Mo has repeatedly expressed that he is not interested in girls with poor figures, so I feel free to let you negotiate with him. If you say Corelia, you will lose her directly.”
“Your Highness.”
As a rare person. The Chief [Female Bee], who was able to carry a weapon and appeared in front of Xiu, inserted her half-moon-shaped dagger on the table like a tofu: "Do you believe I chopped off your fingers?"
"Okay, let's not talk about Tan Mo who makes you feel unlucky. I will go back and find time to read the relevant reports."
His Royal Highness the Regent, who is a gentleman and who is very knowledgeable about current affairs, immediately coughed and asked calmly: "So there is an issue about people from other worlds, what is the result?"
"As you expected. "
Xiao Na also immediately switched to working mode and replied simply: "There is no result. Except for reaching a consensus on 'not obviously hostile to people from other worlds', there is no discussion. Anything of value."
"I've said it before."
Xiu shrugged and said leisurely: "Just like we can't be 'lizards', 'half-dragons', and 'humans' These macro concepts are qualitatively the same, and 'outsiders' cannot be defined by others with the qualifications or capital. In fact, even if someone suddenly told me that many outsiders attended the final meeting as formal members of the exchange group, I would not feel it. Surprised.”
"You are right. Grand Duke Emmeline just used these words to successfully end today's meeting."
Xiao Na nodded happily, and smiled under Xiu's astonished gaze: "Otherwise , I'm afraid they will have to discuss it until late at night, otherwise they won't be able to catch up with the latest round of teleportation."
Xiu opened his mouth, and finally sighed helplessly: "It's too ostentatious... "
"You are thinking too much."
Xiao Na spread his hands and grinned: "The information you personally wrote directly collected all the aliens from other forces. The value of the information has been cleared. As representatives of the Violet Empire, Grand Duke Emmeline and I can’t do anything without showing off. I don’t believe you didn’t expect today’s situation when you were sorting out those things.”
"It's just to let those people get to know Violet again."
Xiu took a sip of the rock sugar water in front of him nonchalantly, his eyes darkened: "It's just a simple preparation for what's to come."
"Your Highness... do you really want to start a war?"
"It's not that I want to start a war, but the current empire needs a war."
"But The current situation in the country is still..."
"This is the core reason why I made this decision. Dear Xiao Na, I cannot let my empire stabilize in this situation. Otherwise, unifying the Crystal Wolf and Dantis will be the only gain before my death. "
"This is something that no emperor in the past has been able to achieve..."
"A great achievement? Haha, don't be ridiculous, those people don't deserve to be called emperors at best. Just the lord."
"The facts you stated may appear extremely arrogant in the eyes of others."
"There is no way."
Xiu smiled bitterly, turned to look at the brightly lit imperial capital outside the window, and murmured in a low voice: "After all, there are too many mediocre people in this world..."

Game time AM07:39, On the top floor of the Dawn Cathedral, standing in front of the portrait of the 573rd Pope of the Dawn Sect, Saint Xia Lian, who was painting a little tortoise on the old man's face, suddenly focused her eyes and turned her head suddenly to look back. Immediately, he met the eyes of the current Pope of Dawn, His Majesty Saint Ambrose, and immediately smiled and crushed the golden quill in his hand into powder.
"He won't be angry."
The old lizard man holding a huge scepter smiled faintly, and then moved his eyes away from Xia Lian, staring at the unrecognizable portrait in front of the latter: "But it would be bad if it scares others."
Then a ray of light like the morning sun flashed through, and the portrait returned to its original state in an instant.
“Nosy little brat.”
Xia Lian gritted her teeth and glared at her Pope, and said angrily: “Of course I know that bastard won’t be angry! No need for you... Uh, why are you here so early in the morning? The lumbar disc is no longer prominent?"
Ambro shook his head: "The lumbar disc is still very prominent."
"If you ask me to tell you, just believe me once."
Xia Lian weighed the star-gold cross in her hand, which was heavier than an ordinary siege ram, and eagerly looked at the severely hunchbacked His Majesty the Pope: "Really, just smash it and give it a try. I guarantee that I can cure you, uh... at least it won't kill you."
"It's an old problem that can't be cured by magic or physical therapy."
Ambro slowly dropped the topic and said with a smile: "I'm just here to tell you that Hei Fan and Wang Yu will be back soon."
"It's almost time to count the days. .”
Xia Lian put the cross on the ground again with some regret and asked lazily: "So?"
"You have been here these days, so you probably don't know that Pastor Hei Fan participated in [War] League] and showed dominance in a key game..."
Ambro smiled faintly and said softly: "Famous."
Xia Lian, who really didn't know about this, immediately widened her eyes and said in shock: "Real or false?!" "There are not many people in the United senior management who don't know about this."
Ambro nodded slightly, and then suddenly changed the topic: "Do you still remember our previous arrangement?"
"I know, let the boy Hei Fan go to Dubuya City to risk his life and replace the Sun Sect's so-called Archbishop, the titular supreme leader Handsome."
"Everyone has changed their minds."
"You don't have to go?"
"You still have to go, but you have complete autonomy. Level allocation, independent number. ”
"What the hell!?"
"And..."
"And and?!"
"Two people."
" Are you crazy? The highest level of rationing and independent numbers are only given to two people? Are they trying to fool Dasha..."
"The Holy Son of Fertility, the Holy Son of Justice."
"What the hell?!"

Game time PM18:13, with a deafening roar, fourteen rune stone slabs slowly rose from the empty [Echo Hall] in the first inner mountain.
“So, what is today’s topic?”
“Same as before.”
“Same waste of time as before?”
“I think this is a A meaningful thing, Brother Luwei.”
“I agree with the analyzer.”
"You agree with a hammer."
"Lu Wei, it's time for you to change your temper."
"I agree with the narrator."
"Get out ."
"Quiet."
"I agree with the lucid one..."
"Be quiet too, seer."
"Okay, okay."
"Secretkeeper, come on Say it as briefly as possible."
"The state of Henggu Tianzhu is getting more and more strange, and there are more and more erroneous and confusing information, except for Qiu Lu Zhuye who made a valuable statement. Apart from the report, the other agents received nothing.”
"Wait a moment, I remember that the alien agent named Cordoba also sent back important information."
"Yes, he successfully turned two Shadows of the Apocalypse into three , making the situation worse."
"I have deployed people where there may be problems."
"It's not enough. Consider the possibility of penetration. ”
"After all, do we really need to take that prophecy seriously?"
"Rather believe it."
"So what should we do? We can't leave here, the agent's Power is limited, the point is..."
"The target is too cunning"
"After all, does the target really exist?"
"Silent One, please remain silent."
"Oh."
"Secret Keeper, tell me your opinion."
"Two directions, Chapter One, use the God-killing Five Beast Body."
"Well...what about the second one?"
"Let the Light of Apocalypse we know come here, and I will take him to the Ancient Heavenly Pillar."
"That alien?"
"I remember it is Called... Mao?"
"Mo, it should be Mo."
"To be honest, I think our place is a bit boring."
"Silent one..."
"I shut up."
"You don't have to worry about this."
"Huh? What do you mean, Lu Wei?"
“Cordoba just told me yesterday that Mo and his gang want to come over here.”
"That's really great."
"Will it really go well? Keeper of the Secret?"
"That light should have grown enough to bear a certain load by now. "
"So?"
"Let's see the opinions of the parties involved."

Game time PM23:59, an uninvited guest appeared in a certain building In front of the low-key and luxurious villa, and after tightening his cloak, he literally 'passed' through the door, entered the mansion like a ghost, and went straight to the study.
"It's a very beautiful dragon language magic, but it's a pity...it's been too long and has expired."
After sighing in a low voice, the uninvited guest directly opened the door to the study and walked away. After walking in, he raised his hand and said hello to the middle-aged man sitting behind the desk: "Hi, old friend."
"Who are you! Why do you appear here..."
"I told you that I am your old friend."
"I don't like playing riddles, especially when the other person doesn't even have a face. If you don’t want to show it.”
“Sorry, the hood is for concealment, I don’t look good.”
“I don’t know you, you can go now. ”
"You are really heartless. You spoke just a few days ago, Speaker Basta."
"Nonsense..."
"In other words, you prefer the 'Ancient Dragon' The name Ostarz'? Dear [Seventh Pillar]~"
