Chapter 460 The Choice of the Silver Council

City of Silver, also known as "City of Nobility", or "Land of Inheritance of Noble Blood", "Eternal Jurisprudence Center"...

Like the purpose of the nobles, this is a city that is conservative and unwilling to change.

In an ancient city that retains the features of the Dark Ages, the various buildings have not undergone major changes, and even the stone bricks in front of the city gates are engraved with thousands of years of time.

The predecessor of this city was the Covenant City of choice for nobles in the Dark Ages when they signed the Covenant of Covenant, because it had the most famous witness institution—the Theocratic Covenant Council, where covenants could be signed under the watchful eyes of the gods.

At the end of the Dark Ages, the Covenant City, which had lost its original prestige, became its headquarters after the establishment of the Silver Council, continuing to serve the nobles.

Just like a thousand years ago.

Just like, the gods are still high in the sky.

……

The former Covenant Hall is now the General Conference Hall of the Silver Parliament.

The huge circular hall, which is enough to seat thousands of people, looks deserted at the moment, with only twenty or thirty people sitting in the center circle.

Either thin or fat, with different shapes and appearances, but the same temperament exudes from them - arrogance.

Even though they try their best to hide their arrogance, they can still feel their usual domineering attitude from their every move.

Even in this tense time, in order to cover up their confusion and fear, they involuntarily choose to show their arrogance, or "calmness", with fake smiles.

"Have you engraved these into your bones?"

Sitting on one of the seats, Keynes withdrew his gaze from observing everyone.

"Hehe, should I say that you are truly worthy of the most honored Supreme Senators of the Silver Council?"

The observation of the powerful head of the Jia Silin family is undisguised. Every nobleman who finds himself being watched is involuntarily nervous, even the current speaker.

This is not surprising, because Keynes is one of the few people with the highest status in the audience, and his status as the former speaker allows him to not have to salute the current speaker on this occasion.

No, there is no need to be one of several people. In theory, apart from his own lack of strength, Keynes is the one with the highest status, prestige, financial resources, age, etc. in the audience.

Unfortunately, the aristocrats are a group that is particularly concerned about the so-called seniority. Keynes's sense of existence cannot be eliminated at all, and he has always been the focus of everyone's attention.

dong dong.

The gavel inlaid with rare ivory sparkling with colorful magic flashes was tapped lightly, making the already tense atmosphere even more tense.

"My beloved compatriots, the inheritors of our noble blood—"

"Thank you for participating in this highest-level emergency meeting. The Silver Council has ushered in the biggest crisis since its establishment!"

After lightly tapping with the Hammer of the Covenant to attract everyone's attention, the current Speaker of the Silver Council cleared his throat, and then spoke calmly:
"Now it's up to me to recount the current situation."

"According to our heroic reports from the group of young heroes who volunteered to go to the first war zone, combined with some secondary information provided by the Overwatch Society, we have an astonishing piece of news right now."

The meticulously trimmed white beard trembled, and the speaker said slowly after taking a deep breath:
"The gods... are coming back."

The sound of inhaling came one after another... This situation did not happen. Every nobleman here is a well-informed person, and they had already finished inhaling as early as the first time they got the information.

The speaker also understood this level, and continued without pausing for a long time:
"And their return is irreversible. You are all smart people and know what this means."

Taking a deep breath, the speaker looked around with burning eyes, then stared in the direction of Keynes and said in a deep voice:
"Currently, there are only two paths before the Silver Council."

"First, continue to insist on your position in the human camp, fully support the work of the Overwatch Society, and use all your strength on them, including the lives of you and your descendants."

silence.

The great nobles did not speak, they were all thinking in silence, the speaker swallowed his saliva, then maintained his superficial calm and said:

"As the speaker, I must remind me that this road is destined to be full of risks."

"Whether the gods are powerful, I believe you can find out in the family's information, and once we choose this path, we will definitely become enemies with such existences."

"Compared to the huge risks, the rewards of this road are not rich enough. Even if humans win in the end, our status will not be able to go any further. Will Watchman allow us to gain more rights?"

"This point, I believe that you all feel the same way. In recent years of contact, the intention of the Overwatch Society has not been concealed at all."

After the speaker finished speaking, he paused for a moment, giving the Patriarchs time to think and at the same time observing everyone's expressions and eyes.

Taking a panoramic view of everyone's reactions, he nodded and continued:
"And the second one is to devote oneself to extraordinary creatures, or in other words... offering loyalty to the gods."

As soon as these words came out, there was some commotion in the hall, but it soon returned to calm, and a pair of eyes full of complex emotions stared at the speaker on the height.

"First of all, with the backing of the gods, the core members of our family will definitely be able to get shelter, and we don't have to worry about the safety of our lives."

"We don't even need to be desperate, as long as we continue to stand still when necessary, it is enough to defend ourselves."

"As for the reward... I just want to mention one thing. After the gods win, they will still be the same as before. They won't do everything by themselves. They need a group of agents in the mortal world."

There was an almost irrepressible madness in his eyes, and the speaker's voice became provocative, announcing loudly:

"Wait until then...the time for the real revival of the family's glory will really come!"

Boom!
After hitting the gavel hard, he spoke faster and faster:
"I also need to remind everyone that once we finally choose the second option, we must do it as soon as possible... You are all Patriarchs, I believe you also know how big the gap is between No.1 and No.2. "

"In addition, if we want to invest in extraordinary creatures, then we must have a certificate with sufficient weight, but don't worry about this, we have already prepared for it."

Having said that, the speaker was silent for a moment, and subconsciously raised his head to look at the huge hollow sculpture of the eye of mystery on the dome above his head.

Under the witness of the covenant, everything here will not be noticed by the outside world, even the gods!
Taking a deep breath, the speaker's voice was trembling with a hint of excitement at the same time.

"We will offer them a gift they cannot refuse."

Under everyone's attention, he opened his mouth slowly.

他 说:

"Spatial Beacon of the Overwatch City!"
