Among all the members of the Mage Council, only Rachel himself was a normal human being.
Don't ask Viktor, he just resigned.
Representatives from other races are generally long-lived and don't have the mindset of the elderly.
But Rachel was different.
As an older man, he still values his reputation.
Especially as people get older, their sense of self-respect becomes even more important.
He simply couldn't utter a single word of that kind of rubbish.
After doing all this, he calmly looked at the two goddesses before him who were too silent to speak, and said solemnly:
"I'll just say it straight."
“Victor and Kokot are dealing with some very important matters, so I can’t let you disturb them.”
Upon hearing these words, Vega's expression twisted slightly.
"Important? What important thing is it that requires you congressmen to obstruct us one by one?"
"He's probably out having fun, that's why he's deliberately avoiding me!"
These words made Rachel feel somewhat embarrassed.
Old people can't stand hearing this.
After that, Vega gave a great demonstration of what it means to throw a tantrum and act shamelessly.
It opened its beak and, at the top of its lungs, began a series of chirping sounds:
"I'm telling you, Victor is my divine messenger! I should know everything he does!"
"If you don't move aside and let me go find Viktor today, I'm not letting you off the hook!"
Faced with Vega's tantrum, Rachel remained silent for a while.
Why does this crow give the illusion of asserting sovereignty?
Besides, if it were really about catching someone cheating, shouldn't it be Gwen who should be doing it? Gwen is Viktor's fiancée, isn't she?
Rachel's expression was somewhat strange.
Is Viktor playing such fancy tricks that he doesn't even spare the crows?
However, when Rachel thought about how the raven had once transformed into the image of that goddess, she felt somewhat relieved.
I can understand, they're young people after all.
Then, Rachel, supporting himself with his cane, tried to stop Vega's screams.
"No amount of talking will change anything. In short, I'm not going to let you pass."
Before Vega could finish speaking, 'Gwen' beneath him had already drawn his sword from its sheath.
"Let me through."
Her words were concise and powerful, but this time, the goddess of justice directly brandished her longsword.
Clearly, she was more serious than ever before.
Upon seeing this, Rachel's expression changed slightly.
He sighed, turned to Gwen, and said:
"Please go ahead."
As an elderly man, he couldn't afford to cause too much trouble, nor did he need to confront the goddess of justice head-on.
If a fight really breaks out, he won't be able to hold off the other side for long, so he might as well just let them pass.
In any case, he has already achieved his goal of stalling for time.
Thinking of this, Raschel couldn't help but feel proud of his own wisdom.
He truly deserves to be called the smartest member of parliament.
As expected, Vega and 'Gwen' did not show any doubt.
After all, the Goddess of Justice still possesses considerable power, so Rachel's actions, acting according to her conscience, are indeed reasonable.
However, Vega felt somewhat dissatisfied with Rachel's fear of the Goddess of Justice and her complete lack of respect for her.
When we find Viktor, we must say a lot of bad things about this bird-playing tool.
But just as Gwen sheathed her sword and passed Rachel,
Suddenly, the cliffs and mountains that had just returned to tranquility began to tremble again.
This time, the vast land was torn open with even wider cracks.
The cracked ground seemed to have torn open an incredibly long gaping maw, with deep stone walls swirling to both sides.
A torrent of dust burst forth from it, shooting straight into the sky.
Seeing this, 'Gwen' warily placed her hand back on the hilt of her sword, her body tensing.
Vega quickly focused his attention on Rachel.
However, there was no sign of magical energy fluctuations from the other party, so it was clear that the commotion was not caused by him.
Rachel stood slightly to the side, his expression calm and composed.
His weathered face showed no surprise whatsoever, as if he had expected it all along.
This expression made Vega frown, his doubts deepening.
At the same time, the cracking of the ground and the roar of the mountains gave him a strange sense of familiarity.
Vega's single eye was fixed on the widening crack, his gaze lingering for a long time.
"Hmm? Something doesn't seem right?"
As soon as he finished speaking,
The raging sand and gravel were swept back by the storm and flew high into the sky, slamming into Gwen's armor like a torrential downpour.
'Gwen' quickly reached out and covered her face with her arm armor.
But Vega, perched on her shoulder, suddenly widened his eyes in surprise.
Boom boom boom—
The sound of massive rocks cracking was like a tidal wave, and terrifying dust rose wildly from the cracks like a vast ocean.
The next second, a huge shadow enveloped everyone present.
This enormous shadow stretched for almost a hundred miles, making the entire sky appear dark and gloomy.
Dust, like a raging sea, obscured the entire cliff, and a majestic curtain of dust swept across the broken mountains.
It envelops a person and a bird as insignificant as dust.
Amidst the dust and waves, Gwen's body, radiating a holy light, stood out conspicuously.
Meanwhile, the one eye of Vega on her shoulder trembled.
Deep within the pupils, a colossal rock giant was reflected, its entirety impossible to depict.
Three massive, pillar-like fingers struggled to support the ground, and its vast body almost filled the crumbling cliff face.
The front of the skull has two parallel indentations with six depressions, from which different dazzling lights are emitted.
It was dazzling, like a miniature sun.
At this moment, the giant lowered its head, its six undulating eyes fixed on the most threatening goddess of justice below.
The brownish light shimmered faintly in the depression, as if foreshadowing impending danger.
Seeing this, Vega, beak agape, stood frozen on 'Gwen's' shoulder, utterly astonished.
"What the hell!?"
"Am I going to have to fight the Earth Calamity again!?"
