With this thought in mind, Dorothy closed her eyes silently again, and through prayer, she used the information channel to connect with Vanya, who was still in the negotiation hall of the palace far away.
…
In the dark night, in the negotiation hall of the palace of Addis, the second round of negotiations was drawing to a close.
Since the members of the Savior's Advent faction withdrew midway, naturally no results were achieved this time. The second half of the negotiation was missing, and only the church faction and the revolutionary army faction were exchanging opinions meaninglessly.
Beside the large round table in the negotiation venue, Vanya sat quietly in her seat, staring intently at the revolutionary army representative who was speaking in the distance, listening carefully to his words. At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in her mind, and after hearing this voice, her eyes could not help but widen slightly.
"The Saviour's people... actually wanted to do this directly... How could it be... "
After hearing Dorothy's words in her mind, Vanya's face showed an incredible expression. She suppressed the astonishment in her heart and listened calmly to Dorothy's words in her heart. Then, a solemn look emerged on her face. Then, she cast her eyes to the other end of the large round table. Sitting there was the leader of the revolutionary army, Shadi, who was dressed in military uniform.
As time passed, the church faction and the revolutionary army faction persisted in this negotiation that was doomed to be fruitless. It was not until the second round of negotiations officially ended that the two sides ended this unsuccessful meeting in accordance with etiquette. Just as both parties were about to leave, Vanya pushed Shadi away, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, she came to Shadi's side.
"Sister Vanya, is there anything else you need? Is there anything else you didn't get to say at the meeting?"
Looking at Vanya standing in front of him, Shadi asked curiously, and Vanya answered directly.
"Nothing, this is not about negotiation. I just want to leave Addis soon, and now I want to take this opportunity to give some gifts to Mr. Shadi."
Vanya spoke to Shadi politely. Listening to Vanya's words, Shadi paused slightly, then smiled.
"Haha, Sister Vanya, when you came to Addis this time, you brought us a lot of important supplies. This is already a great gift. Now you want to give us gifts again. This makes us feel a little sorry..."
"Mr. Shadi, you are too kind. The supplies we sent before were just necessary for us as servants of the Lord. They are not great gifts. This time, what I want to send is not supplies like before, but just a small souvenir. This souvenir is more for you, Mr. Shadi, than for the revolutionary army."
Vanya continued to talk to Sadie politely, and Sadie's expression was surprised after hearing what Vanya said.
"For me?"
"Yes, please accept this."
As she spoke, Vanya took out a brand new book and handed it to Sadie. After Sadie took it, he glanced at the cover and found that it was a collection of folk tales from the main continent, called "The Story of Peter".
"This is…"
"As you can see, this is just a collection of popular folk tales from the Main Continent. It contains many classic folk tales from our side. If you read it, you will have a better understanding of the Main Continent. I think the prerequisite for reaching a mutual understanding is mutual understanding."
With a slight smile, Vanya said this to Shadi. Listening to Vanya's words, Shadi couldn't help but be slightly stunned, then he smiled and took the storybook in front of him.
"So that's the case. In that case, I'll take it first, and I'll go back and read it carefully." After accepting the book handed over by Vanya, Shadi responded politely. Some people around were puzzled by Vanya's action, while others had their own ideas about it.
Although "The Story of Peter" looks like a collection of folk tales, many of these folk tales are religious in nature. There are many folk legends about the Three Saints in it. Although most of them have not been recognized by the Holy Saints, they are still widely circulated and have a far-reaching influence. It is the first book that many ordinary people come into contact with before they come into contact with the Holy Scripture of Glory. Many people at the scene thought that this was Vanya and her husband Sadie spreading the teachings of the Three Saints in a more obscure way. After all, it would be too blatant to give the Holy Scripture directly.
…
Outside the palace, on the streets of Adus, Shadi rode in a carriage back to his residence. Inside the carriage, he looked at the thick story collection in his hand with the light inside, with a hint of doubt on his face.
"Setut, can you see anything special about this book?"
Staring at the book in his hand, Shadi spoke bluntly, looking at the ancient ghost that had always accompanied him for advice. However, this time the ancient ghost did not respond to him immediately as before, which made Shadi frown slightly.
"Setut?"
Seeing that Setut did not respond immediately, Shadi continued to speak in confusion. However, this time, Setut's spirit slowly appeared in the space. Although it looked like a mummy, a trace of solemnity seemed to be revealed on its dry face. Seeing this, Shadi could not help but ask.
"What's wrong with you? Setut."
"It's nothing, it's just that when we were negotiating just now, I seemed to hear a thunder outside..." Setut said in a deep voice. Listening to its words, Shadi couldn't help but speak in even more confusion.
"Thunder? It seems like there was some thunder. Is there any problem with this?"
"This doesn't look like thunderous weather... and the thunder is coming from over there... In this case..." Setut murmured as if he was deep in thought. Looking at Setut like this, Shadi continued to speak in confusion.
"What do you mean by that? Setute, are you thinking of something?"
"Well... I guess so. I've thought about some things, but it's also possible that I'm worrying too much..." Setut continued to talk incoherently. Listening to Setut's words, Shadi was even more confused. At this time, Setut changed the subject and asked Shadi.
"Let's not talk about this now. What did you call me for just now?"
"I asked you to read this book because it was given to me by a nun from the church. She said it was specially written for me. I think it's a little strange, so I asked you to take a look at it for me."
As he spoke, Shadi picked up the story collection he got from Vanya. Setut shifted his gaze to this seemingly ordinary book, and began to examine it slowly with his eyes flickering with ghostly fire.
