Capítulo 626: Chapter 144 Probing and End of the eting
When most of the Ninth Rank returned to the venue, those few who had suddenly engaged in combat beca the focus of everyone’s attention.
So wanted to flee, but they were controlled by several Ninth Rank acting together.
“So, why did you all choose to fight each other?”
Looking at several Ninth Rank with hostility on their faces, Saint ssia III’s eyes, radiating a white glow, narrowed slightly, yet his tone remained as gentle as is typical for Holy Positions.
“Hmph, it’s all for that book. Weren’t your people also intercepting just now?”
Glancing at Pope Saint ssia with a flickering gaze, a Ninth Rank from the Federation spoke harshly, trying to escalate the dispute to a conflict between the three major powers.
However, much to his disappointnt, when his words fell, none of the many Ninth Rank from the Federation responded to his bait.
“This was rely an accident, Your Holiness Saint ssia. Their individual actions do not represent the stance of the Federation; I will ensure such incidents do not recur in the future.”
But ultimately, given that it involved Ninth Rank from his own camp, the Federation Chairman still reluctantly stood up and broke through the encirclent on behalf of the few individuals in question.
“Then, let us assu it was just an accident for now.”
A hint of undisguised disgust flashed deep in his eyes, but Saint ssia III did not press further and instead shifted the target of his words.
“However, regarding what just happened, I believe so individuals owe us an explanation. We are all aware that the appearance of that object was no accident.
Only those who received an invitation can enter here, so who originally brought in that book?”
“Who knows? Perhaps it was one of your own who brought it here long ago.”
None of the Ninth Rank responded favorably to the Pope’s question, and the one who had spoken up first retorted even more sharply.
Although they were almost certainly at a disadvantage against Saint ssia III, they all had sufficient confidence in their hearts.
Here, the Pope surely wouldn’t choose to openly break from decorum and take action against them. His presence represents not just an individual, but extends to the entire Federation’s interests.
“Hehe, under the Radiance of the Divine, no shadow can hide.”
Observing their uncooperative attitude, the Pope gave a cold laugh.
“Please wait for a mont, we will soon have a result…”
“What a senseless farce! How much longer must we wait here? What if another such incident occurs? Open the pathway, we’re leaving!”
However, it was then that from within the Gloria Empire’s camp, Family Head Frey, Duke Aslade with the Golden Giant Dragon Bloodline, after glancing at the several Ninth Rank, suddenly spoke out with a rough voice.
Following his words, many Ninth Rank from the Gloria Empire side looked at each other.
Although it was clear to everyone that he was a boorish man, and as one of Gloria’s side, clashing with Saint ssia Empire was considered politically correct, speaking out before the Emperor had given an opinion was sowhat too impolite.
To put it severely, the actions of Family Head Aslade were almost a challenge to the authority of Gloria III.
“May I know what Gloria III thinks about this matter?”
A bit suspiciously eyeing Duke Frey, the Pope’s gaze slowly shifted to Gloria III, his tone revealing no change in emotion.
“Duke Frey has shared his view, so what about the rest of you? Please, speak freely now; I need so reference opinions.”
But rather than imdiately responding to the Pope’s question, Gloria III turned his head and looked expressionlessly at the others.
“…I believe this place is indeed dangerous, we should leave first, and then investigate the mastermind behind today’s event at our leisure.”
After a mont of mutual glancing, the current Marquis Magnum, Head of the Enock family, was the first to speak, his words quite tactful, but he still sided with Duke Frey.
“I also think it’s quite dangerous here, and if possible, it would be best to leave this place first.”
“I agree with the suggestion to leave first. The investigation doesn’t necessarily have to be conducted here.”
“I concur…”
After that, the other two Dukes of the Four Great Families then subsequently expressed their agreent. So of the Marquises agreed, while others remained silent.
Although there were daily frictions and even mutual hostility, such conflicts were limited to internal disputes. When facing external forces, the Four Great Families would still maintain a unified stance.
“As you can see, Your Holiness, this is our position,” one of them said.
Seeing that no one else continued to speak, Gloria III turned his head back around, stiffly uttering a few words.
“Very well, very well.”
Staring intently at Gloria III’s unflinching dark violet eyes, the Pope’s holy white eyes narrowed into a dangerous line, and a rich hue of disappointnt flashed across his youthful face.
“Then, everyone please leave on your own accord.”
With that, the Pope seed sowhat disinterested as he waved his hand, and a glimr of light flashed and then disappeared in the palm of his hand.
The next mont, everyone imdiately felt that their perception of space was restored.
Instantly, many of the Ninth Rank from the Yiter Kingdom Federation had teleported out of the venue. The Federation Chairman left behind a sowhat helpless look, then led the others to leave.
Watching the chaotic departure of the Federation’s people, and under the leadership of Gloria III, the Ninth Rank of the Gloria Empire respectfully bid farewell to the Pope and also teleported away in an orderly fashion, leaving only the people of the Saint ssia Empire remaining.
“Lambs blinded by desire, lantably engaged in endless strife for the sake of imdiate benefits, yet unaware that the ultimate judgnt is about to co.
When that ti arrives, who will be able to escape?”
Gazing in the direction where everyone disappeared, the Pope’s slender figure appeared sowhat desolate.
He had always strived for the safety of the Continent, believing that others would also understand the severity of the issue, abandoning aningless conflicts.
But now, he realized that he had been overly idealistic. From the start, the goals of others were fundantally different from his.
“There’s no need to be discouraged by the depth of darkness, Your Holiness. We simply need to act faithfully, and the light will drive away the darkness. All our actions are under the watch of the Divine,” spoke a voice behind him.
At this mont, Archbishop Gormore, dressed in a solemn deep red bishop’s robe, stepped forward, his blue-grey aged eyes brimming with wisdom, as he gently added a remark.
“I think you are right, Teacher,” the Pope acknowledged after a long silence.
Heaving a sigh, the young Pope realized that if his goals were to be achieved, perhaps it was necessary to remove so remnants of the old era.
“Such a world, full of sin, is truly disappointing—”
……
The first high-level eting between the Three Great Empires of the Yar Continent ended in this anticlimactic manner.
On the surface, the situation on the Continent didn’t seem to change much following the eting.
Moreover, with the sharing of so information on the Overlap Areas during the eting, the expansion of the Overlap Areas phenona that appeared throughout the Continent was suppressed and its total area continually reduced under the governance of many High Rank Professionals.
However, behind this façade, so secret undercurrents had already begun to surge tumultuously.
At the sa ti, the astonishing events that took place within this eting spread rapidly, eventually becoming a favorite topic of conversation among minstrels across the entire Continent.
