Chapter 717: Incidents
"So, dealing with the remains of a god is best done by another force that claims to possess the true god - heh, after all, 'the more capable, the more work'."
The Speaker nodded and uttered a strange sneer.
"Also, if you need to contact those [Contactees], I can use the power of the Federal Parliament to provide you with sufficient convenience."
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Speaker, but it's not necessary. I don't intend to be affected by their fate."
But Gray Mist shook his head at the Speaker's proposal.
"Are you really not going to contact those [Contactees]? As far as I know, according to the theory of the prophecy school, when these contactees begin to become stronger and stronger, there should be a representative figure among them who will shoulder the fate of the [Contactees] group, right?"
The tone was slightly puzzled, and the being called the Speaker was somewhat surprised by the gray fog's reaction.
As he was about to break through to the ninth level, he thought that Gray Mist would do everything he could to seize all the nodes of the Web of Destiny so as to increase his chances of success in the breakthrough.
“Destiny is unpredictable. If you try too hard to pursue something, it will lead to things developing in the opposite direction.
Just like the sand in the desert, if you scoop it up gently, you can get a full handful, but if you squeeze it tightly, most of the sand will slip through your fingers. "
Gray Mist spoke in a calm tone, with an unfathomable attitude.
As he moved, the faint mist of fate shrouding him began to fluctuate slightly, looking very strange.
"The more fate nodes I interfere with, the better. My energy is limited. Moreover, some nodes are destined to conflict in the future.
The effect of both parties betting at the same time is not one plus one, but one minus one.
For me, when the existence of magic construction networks becomes more and more popular, it will be enough to achieve my goal.
As for the contactees, all high-level prophets know that the strongest child of destiny will emerge from among them. Therefore, I am not going to intervene for the time being. I will just keep the status quo and let the other prophets fight for it. "
"Is that your opinion?"
The Speaker nodded slightly and said no more. After all, they were just partners.
When the Stargazer was asleep, Gray Mist was now the strongest prophet on the continent. Moreover, he was about to break through to the ninth level and was qualified enough to stand on an equal footing with him.
"Also, regarding the 'contact' aspect, didn't someone already make plans in advance?"
Looking at the silent Speaker, Gray Mist made a casual remark.
"You mean the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce? Are they worthy of your attention?"
After some understanding nods, the Speaker asked in confirmation.
"The Black Ring Chamber of Commerce's actions were the work of the prophet 'Mirror'. In my opinion, his threat is enough to rank among the top three among all the prophets.
After the Lord of Dreams descended, I looked back at the changes in the Web of Fate at that time and found that the change that caused me to lose my access to the Construct Network was caused by the Mirror, and he was the one who ultimately gained the most benefit from it. "
Gray Mist explained directly.
"And, most importantly, I suspect that he has some connection with the Circle of Truth organization!"
"The Ring of Truth? Are you sure?!"
Hearing this word, the Speaker's voice suddenly became low.
"Back then, when the Lord of Dreams was about to descend, the power of the construct network once gathered abnormally, and its whereabouts were unknown. But since everything on the battlefield cannot be predicted, I don't have any substantial evidence, it's just a guess."
Gray Mist nodded, then shook his head.
"I see. This is indeed a big suspicion."
Nodding slightly, the Speaker thought for a moment.
"Also, what's the situation over at the Gloria Empire?"
"In less than a year, the civil war in the empire will restart. The current peaceful situation is only temporarily suppressed due to the disappearance of Gloria III and the threat of the Ring of Truth.
However, as time goes by, who should sit on the vacant throne? "
Revealing a strange smile hidden by the mist, Gray Mist suddenly stood up.
"Time is almost up, so we'll take our leave, Mr. Speaker."
Finally, after nodding to the Speaker, the mist on Gray Fog's body gradually became thicker, submerging him completely, and then dissipated along with Gray Fog's body.
At the same time, another cloaked figure who had not uttered a word throughout the entire process had also disappeared at some point, leaving only a faint starlight at the original location.
"...Black Ring Chamber of Commerce? Mirror?"
In the dark palace that had returned to its emptiness, the Speaker quietly stared at the place where the two figures disappeared. His eyes were deep, as if he was thinking about something.
After a moment, he raised his hand and tapped lightly on the silver round table in front of him.
With a crisp 'ding' sound, a circle of silver light ripples spread out from the point where his fingertips touched the table, and then disappeared into the air.
The next moment, the space inside the hall suddenly lit up, and colorful bouquets and flags of major kingdoms emerged from the venue. The fragrance of the flowers spread in the warm air, dispelling the mysterious atmosphere in the environment.
Brush——
At the same time, the original silver round table suddenly stretched out to form a long table. The seats on both sides that were originally empty were now filled with figures that suddenly appeared.
Some of the people who arrived earlier were already exchanging greetings with familiar people nearby.
"Then, in the year 2465 of the Federation Calendar, the 4th Federation Conference officially begins."
"Today, I have a special topic to share with you. The specific content is related to the largest magic construction guild in the Federation, the [Black Ring Chamber of Commerce]."
After everyone arrived, the speaker, who was sitting high in the main seat, looked at the different looks of the many members below and smiled slightly. . ….…. "The popularization of the construction network will lead to a change in people's ideas and concepts, which will fundamentally shake the ruling status of the grassroots nobles. Why did he agree to your proposal?"
On the other side, after leaving the venue early, the cloaked figure who had not spoken during the entire meeting finally couldn't help but ask Gray Mist a question.
“That’s because there are two other empires, Star.
After the end of the Patikaran Covenant, the Federation has actually returned to being a mess, and will only be eaten away bit by bit. As the Speaker of the Federation and the King of the Kingdom of Loran, he has no choice. "
Looking at the silver-haired girl shrouded in a cloak, who rarely showed a somewhat conflicted expression, Gray Mist smiled slightly.
The existence of Xing is an insurance for him. In his eyes, the strength of this mysterious girl can be described as unfathomable.
And most importantly, in the prophecy, she seemed to be simply traveling and waiting for something, and there was no conflict with his interests.
With Xing as an ally by his side, he could make some more dangerous choices without worrying about it. So, in order to maintain a good relationship, Huiwu did not mind revealing some secrets to satisfy her curiosity.
"...Are you really prepared to accept the suggestions of those foreigners and spread the so-called 'free thought' on a large scale through the construct headbands?"
But this time, Xing seemed particularly interested in it.
"why not?"
Gray Mist gave her a strange look.
"According to my prediction, this will change the fate of the entire continent."
