"Thank you all for coming to the White Tower at such a critical time in the world. Many of you here are familiar faces to me... Enough with the pleasantries, let's get straight to the point."
Standing before all the kings, looking at each and every one of them below, or rather, the king closest to the podium, all of whom are very famous figures in the outside world... In fact, many people have never even met their respective kings in their entire lives.
At this very moment, kings gather together.
Countless eyes were fixed on the podium, which was in line with their seats... Yinla had already shown them enough respect, and they would reciprocate by showing Yinla the same respect.
Therefore, they did not make any further remarks while Yinla was speaking.
"Regarding the cause of all calamities, we must begin with the oldest age of gods, and even before that... I know that the age of gods has not yet been proven in documents to exist, but please treat that era as if it did exist."
As Yinla explained, most people turned their attention to Milian. If we were to talk about gods, then the Kingdom of Unbelief might be the one with the clearest understanding.
The Theocracy's policy of "forbidding belief in gods" is a very strange one, because... there are still all kinds of religious groups in the Theocracy that believe in almost everything except gods, and perform rituals for almost everything.
It has no effect on consolidating national strength.
Even most magic is forced to undergo internal modifications because it requires chanting the name of a god before it can be used... This is a ridiculous national policy.
But after all, the Holy Land is just the Holy Land, so no one cares.
As an island nation that occupies a piece of land, the geographical location of the Theocracy makes it difficult to attack, much like the Losa Islands.
However, Miriam remained silent... It was clear that the Holy Kingdom also had its own system of upbringing and education.
"Before the world was born, it was not as convenient and habitable as it is now. The World Tree did not exist then. The world was filled with cold winds and other [calamities], which were the materialized anomalies of Mana."
As Yinla spoke, he looked at the principal of the Three Towers and said, "The Three Towers can attest to this. Although the Three Towers cannot guarantee my statement, at least... we can confirm that the [Calamity] was indeed caused by the abnormal Mana."
As Yinla spoke, the three principals of the Crimson Tower, the Dark Tower, and the Pure White Tower looked at each other, and then, under everyone's gaze, nodded in unison.
To be honest, this was the first time the three principals had been under the gaze of so many powerful figures at the same time... So, to be able to maintain a calm and composed attitude under the watchful eyes of all those in high positions, Yinla was truly remarkable.
In this respect, Gandalf the White (Headmaster: No!) has reason to be proud. From the very beginning, when Illa was fighting with the upperclassmen in the Tower (physics), he already felt that Illa would become an extraordinary person.
Although he never expected that Yimra would eventually become such an amazing person.
Having gained the approval of the Three Towers Principal, which made her words more plausible, Yinla continued, "Then, the gods sealed away the calamity, and the World Tree subsequently flourished on the prime plane, simultaneously dividing it into nine realms."
"After the Age of Gods, and after the gods disappeared, the seal of the [Calamity] began to slowly fail or loosen. This led to the overbreeding of the four-legged monsters and the recent unusual cold, both of which caused the [Calamity] to erupt at regular intervals."
As Yinla spoke, he reminded everyone, saying, "I have already been to the far north with an outsider named Ernie, where there are indeed giant islands formed by the strange mana that are filled with malice towards the world itself."
Since we've already brought up "outside the topic," does that mean no one is going to question the veracity of this part of the facts? ...What's the point of questioning it? Can you even beat someone from "outside the topic"?!
"In late spring next year, the Four-Legged Riot will occur again, and it will be even more severe than this year. In early summer next year, the Zero Degree Cold will once again come from the far north, and the temperature will be even colder."
While the details of what Yinla is saying are not fully understood by the group, the fact that the calamity will occur again next year has been previously confirmed by the Three Towers.
"Then, Your Excellency Yinla..."
At this moment, a man who seemed somewhat hesitant, under everyone's gaze, raised a question: "So, the end of the Age of Gods was because the gods stopped speaking. What was the specific reason? Were we abandoned by the gods?"
This male king voiced the doubts of everyone, not only those of small countries, but also the kings of many large countries, who were completely unaware of this information.
Everyone awaited Yinla's reply, and then... upon hearing Yinla's response, the expressions of most people, except those in the know, changed—
"The gods are dead..."
As Yinla spoke, looking at the kings who were reacting strongly, he spoke first before anyone could raise a question: "Everything I have said comes from a stone tablet... That was the first piece of information I obtained, and it was engraved with the script of the Age of Gods."
As he was explaining this, his deputy, Severia Arroyo, had already dragged the stone slab up from backstage... To be honest, this kind of explanation was very novel, and many people had never thought that the process of the "forum" could be so compact and efficient.
