"Dear heroes, how can I be so virtuous and capable? Except for the heroes of the world, it is all thanks to the kings who think highly of me that I am what I am today. I would like to give you a drink at home. May the world prosper together and enjoy peace forever. Let's do it!" Zhang Qi Xiaoxiao picked up the wine glass and said loudly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone shouted in unison.
Zhang Qigui is the lord of Shacheng, and his position is above everyone else. It is understandable to call him alone. Besides, everyone has already addressed him as your majesty. Moreover, Zhang Qi's strength is unparalleled in the world. There is a difference between the superior and the inferior in terms of status and strength. So and so, Everyone felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
Seeing that the mood at the scene was on track, Zhang Qi started his topic:
"The World Conference has not been held for hundreds of years, and now it has been fortunately restarted. Do you know why?" Zhang Qidao.
"I don't know, please let your Majesty make it clear." Lao Bulla spoke first. He and Zhang Qi had made an appointment in advance to keep the atmosphere of the conference in a good state. As the head of the three major guilds, Lao Bulla was naturally qualified to ask this question. talk.
The atmosphere in the field became a little solemn after Lao Bula's words. Everyone knew the importance of the World Conference and waited to see what Zhang Qi had to say. In fact, until now, everyone, including Lao Bula and Mei Yue, I don’t know Zhang Qi’s intention in convening the World Conference.
However, at this time, Zhang Qi looked around and asked everyone a serious question: "What do you think of the current Mafa Continent?"
"This..." The scene became a little quiet, and then there were whispers. Zhang Qi's non-answer was something they didn't expect, but looking at his face so seriously, it didn't look like he was joking. No one could touch it. Zhang Qi's inner thoughts revealed that because of this, fewer and fewer people wanted to stand out.
Although the Tianxia Alliance is one of the three major guilds, it is slightly superior in terms of scale and reputation. The leader of the alliance is named Jin, and all previous alliance leaders are named Jin, because the Tianxia Alliance is a hereditary guild, and the guild continues after the death of the father and the son. The rules of inheritance and the ancestral training of the Jin family are very strict, so this super guild still maintains the strength of the top guild.
The leader of this generation is an old man. He has been in charge of the world alliance for decades. He is deeply rooted and has a high reputation in the world. As people become more mature with age, Leader Jin also understands that Lao Bula has spoken just now. If he does not speak at this time, , it would be somewhat inconsistent with his identity, so he straightened his throat and broke the deadlock.
"Your Majesty, the God of Killing, is old and incapable of talent. I would like to offer you some ideas to attract others. However, I feel that I am unwise. I hope that you and your Majesty will forgive me!"
"Haha, Alliance Leader Jin is being humble, please!" Zhang Qi bowed his hands in greeting, giving Alliance Leader Jin an excellent step forward. As the conversation started, other people also expressed their interest.
"Your Majesty, everyone, we, Mafa, seem to be prospering, but we are increasingly struggling to fight monsters. Since the Three Saints, we humans have become weaker and weaker, and the Nier tribe on the other side of the mountain is getting stronger. I am afraid that one day they will After crossing the mountain, our human strength will be insufficient and the situation will be worrying." Alliance Leader Jin said seriously.
What Alliance Leader Jin said is quite satisfactory, and it is also a topic that everyone has been discussing over the years. However, firstly, the matter is too vague and there is no way to start. Secondly, everyone thinks that this matter is too far away, so they just treat it as far-sighted and not too far-sighted. Pay more attention, but now that the words came out of the mouth of the respected leader Jin, everyone felt heavy.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Alliance Leader Jin continued, "In the past decades, our Tianxia Alliance has not only observed and analyzed, but also found that the strength of monsters is slowly getting stronger. This change is very subtle, so subtle that it is difficult to detect it. If it were not for the It is difficult to detect this change when comparing monsters today with those from decades ago, but the explosion rate of equipment is getting lower and lower. I don’t know if this change has anything to do with the Neer tribe outside the mountains, but if things continue like this , will definitely greatly weaken us humans."
Alliance Leader Jin paused, "Over the years, our Tianxia Alliance has continuously sent people to pay attention to the current situation of the mountain. The mountain that has always been quiet now has a kind of movement that seems to be absent, especially in recent years. It has been obvious. After analysis, we finally got The conclusion should be that the seal is constantly getting weaker, if..."
Before Alliance Leader Jin could finish his words, everyone started talking instantly, "Alliance Leader Jin, this matter is of great importance, why have I never heard from the World Alliance? You must know that the seal of the mountain is related to the battle between man and beast, life and death, you must not take it wrong."
"..."
"Hey!" Alliance Leader Jin sighed, "I also know that this matter is serious, and I have devoted all the efforts of the entire alliance to investigate it in detail. Finally, it is clear that it is indeed caused by the loosening of the seal. I talked to Chairman Shangguan about this matter some time ago. , both of us have reached a consensus on this matter.”
Shangguan Yun nodded, and Alliance Leader Jin continued: "The old palace master seemed a little busy some time ago. I had not met for a while, so I discussed with Chairman Shangguan to find an appropriate time to make this matter public. It happened that His Majesty the God of Death was holding a world conference. This is the best time to announce this matter, and I hope Your Majesty will not blame me for disturbing the meeting."
Zhang Qixiao nodded, "You're welcome, Alliance Leader Jin. Such a major event is due to the sensitivity of the Tianxia Alliance. I am grateful to the Tianxia Alliance for everyone in the world, so how can I blame it?"
The leader of the Jinmeng League was greatly relieved to see that Zhang Qi took the lead in recognizing the contributions of the Tianxia League. In the past, he always heard Mei Yue praise Zhang Qi. Now it seems that this man does not seem young and energetic on the surface, but is mature, prudent and dignified. The heroic leader who swallowed the world, when he thought about the endless turmoil in the Mafa continent for thousands of years, and the heroes vying for hegemony, it was time for someone with extraordinary talents to rule the world and sweep across the world. Isn't Zhang Qi in front of him the best candidate? In my heart, I became more determined to support Zhang Qi.
With the support of Zhang Qi, Alliance Leader Jin stood up and said loudly: "I have been the leader of the world for decades, and I ask myself whether I can judge the success or failure of the world. However, the current situation is that human beings are in decline. Once the seal is broken, all life will be in ruins. The end of humankind is not far away. Don’t be fooled or alarmist by old words. Yes, maybe in the past few years, decades, or hundreds or thousands of years, the world will remain unchanged. We will have entered the loess early and will not see that Waiting for the bloody storm, but our descendants are going to suffer the disaster. As an elder, how can we be blameless and silent? I ask myself, even if the blood is spattered three feet and the head is broken, how can we and the descendants seek for it? A glimmer of hope!"
Leader Jin's impassioned words were so awe-inspiring that even Zhang Qi, a foreign time traveler, could hear his blood boiling with excitement. What's more, all the heroes present were red-faced and angry.
Zhang Qijing watched the scene. When his mood calmed down, he raised his hand to signal. The scene suddenly became quiet. He stood up and promised the leader of the Golden Alliance, "The heart of the old alliance leader can be seen in the sky, and I admire you, but the matter has come to this, so it is." What can I do?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience felt sad. Everyone knew that just now he was just describing the situation in detail or inspiring people. In fact, many people knew about it, but the solution has never been resolved, even after thousands of years. There is no clear direction in the future, otherwise mankind would not be trapped in this endless struggle for hegemony.
After a long time, Lao Bula saw this and stood up as if thinking, "Your Majesty, everyone, I have other discoveries for your reference. Our Bula Palace has forcibly opened the stone tomb for many years, but recently I discovered that there is something abnormal about this mutated white pig. , it seems that the flexibility in movement has become stronger, it seems..."
As soon as he mentioned this, Shangguan Yun also spoke, "Not only are there mutated white pigs, but there are also skeleton elves and Zuma guards. These kind of leader monsters have a tendency to become stronger and more flexible, especially when the old palace master said it was flexible and described it very well. appropriate."
"Huh? I don't think the word flexible is quite appropriate." Lao Bula took the words, paused and added, "It is more accurate to have some kind of spirituality. For example, in the past, we often used the method to kill mutant white pigs. The strategy is to first clear out other monsters nearby, and then launch an attack on the mutated white pig. However, this situation has changed somewhat in recent years. Often, when other monsters are being cleared, the mutated white pig will be awakened. This situation occurred in the past It has not happened in years. We also reflected afterwards whether we were making too much noise or using wrong methods when cleaning up other monsters. However, no such problem was found in the post-war summary. After repeated such incidents, we found that It wasn't the sound that attracted the mutant white pig's attention, because one time when we were cleaning up other monsters, someone accidentally cut into the corner of the wall. The sound was very loud, but it did not cause any alert to the mutant white pig. But strangely, when the other monsters were cleaning up, When the number reaches a certain amount, no matter how careful you are, the mutated white pigs will eventually wake up."
Having said this, Old Bra paused for a moment, and then said word by word: "The only explanation is that the mutant white pig senses dangerous spirituality, and this kind of spirituality is only possessed by humans."
Old Bulla's words stirred up a lot of waves, and many people talked about it. After what he said, everyone recalled that this was indeed the case when fighting against such leader monsters, but they didn't pay close attention at the time. Some people even discovered that, These boss monsters sometimes have some simple linkages with other monsters, which in human terms is called tacit understanding.
Zhang Qi listened to everyone's words, and he himself fell into deep thought. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, so that's it! ! !
There are many things that he can only know for himself, but cannot make them known to the public. For example, the difference between his information and that of other human beings is that he knows about the Neer ancestors, who are on the other side of the mountain. The so-called seal is just a matter of The ancestors of the Nier clan are sealed in the dead space, not the so-called other side of the mountain. The abnormal movements of the leader monster should be caused by the release of the ancestors of the Nier clan, and the human information is a series of external events caused by this incident. In other words, what Zhang Qi knew was the cause and the result that others knew. But when Zhang Qi mastered both information at the same time, he discovered a shocking secret.
Just when Zhang Qi seemed to have vaguely touched on a key clue, a voice shot out like a sharp arrow piercing the dark curtain.
"It's useless to say more, what can I do?"
Zhang Qi was looking for a voice like everyone else. The owner of the voice was a woman. There were seven people sitting over there, five men and two women. The one speaking was the one on the left.
It's them?
Among the three major guilds, the one with the most contacts is the Bra Palace, and the one with the most contacts is the Tianxia Alliance. Only the Round Table has only met their president Shangguan Yun, and apart from that, almost no other members have been seen.
The Round Table is the most mysterious guild among the three major guilds. They follow the elite route and have a very small number of people, not even as large as a medium-sized guild. However, no one dares to deny the top strength of the three major guilds. Each member of their congregation has to go through seven tests of life and death before they can join. Each of them has experienced hundreds of battles. Although it cannot be said that one can defeat a hundred, there is always one against ten. In addition, they have extremely strict rules and keep a low profile. They rarely take the initiative to cause trouble, which adds to their mystery.
What’s even more interesting is that they implement a rotational selection system for presidents. Every thirty years, they select a group of seven people from the young congregation. There is a brutal competition between the groups, and the one who wins in the end One group forms the Council of Elders of the Round Table, and the president is selected from among these seven people. These seven people are a group in themselves. They have experienced countless lives and deaths together and have established an intimate relationship that is thicker than water. Therefore, the president who seems to have great power seems to do the same to the seven of them. Generally, a round-table selection system is adopted, which avoids similar infighting incidents that may occur due to competition for the president, and solidifies the foundation of the Round Table.
Zhang Qi is also very surprised by this method. If this method is popularized, how many powerful guilds with a long history will be created. However, there are also disadvantages. The cruel competition is difficult for people to accept. In addition, they have just been selected to join During the Presbyterian meeting, those seven people were all very young. In addition, the Presbyterian meeting was extremely powerful. However, the power of life and death of the guild could be determined with one word. How could some senior members of the congregation be convinced? Only after a long period of time like the Round Table, This can only be achieved by running in and establishing enough recognition, so it is very difficult to promote this method outside.
But in Zhang Qi's view, this electoral system is not only stable, but also very efficient. Just imagine, although they were young when they entered the Presbyterian Church, they were not young people in their teens or twenties after all, but at least in their thirties. Young people are the age when they are most energetic, have the most open minds, and act most decisively. This can ensure that the guild is full of enterprising spirit. In addition, the Round Table has a long history and has accumulated a lot of experience in governing the guild. It does not require too much An experienced governance method is needed to manage the guild, and the seven of them have a term of thirty years, which has an absolute advantage in uniting the guild. This is the most ideal management model in Zhang Qi's opinion.
The woman's words didn't sound too polite, but in Zhang Qi's opinion, they were acceptable. Everyone knew that although the Round Table was one of the three major guilds, they never cared much about such public events. They didn't like the excitement. , act in a low-key manner. Even if a major world event occurs, they will at most send one elder as a representative to make a brief statement. But now, all seven elders of the Presbyterian Church have come out, which shows that they attach great importance to this world conference.
The Presbyterian Council of the Round Table has great power. The seven of them have always stood at the pinnacle of power. In addition, although the seven of them are young and not as big as Lao Bula and Jin, their strength is no less than that of the two. All seven of them are as high as four. He is at the peak of level 15, so even if his words are a little arrogant, it is reasonable.
"Elder of the Round Table, I wonder what you have to say?" Zhang Qi stood up and sang the promise.
When the man saw Zhang Qi getting up in person, it was enough to show that he had given the Round Table Association face. Shangguan Yun, as the president of this round, stood up on his own initiative and said, "Forgive me, Your Majesty the God of Death. I, the Round Table Association, don't know etiquette, but I don't like to go around the bush. I always act straightforwardly, so I hope Haihan will do the same."
Zhang Qi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, President Shangguan, please speak."
Shangguan Yun looked at Zhang Qi, then at the people present, and said slowly: "Our Mafa continent seems to be in order, and we have our own way of living and fighting monsters, but in fact, we are just enjoying ourselves in hardship, and there are monsters inside that force us to , there are Neer tigers glaring at them outside, and they will become nothing more than dry bones in the graves over time. Although the groups have the strength to kill the thieves, they are full of ambition but not strong enough."
"However." Shangguan Yun suddenly changed his tone and said, "I, the Round Table Council, believe that this is not the correct reason, that is, we are not strong enough, but that we have not given full play to our true strength. When I look at the world, to put it nicely, it is called the contention of a hundred schools of thought. To put it harshly, everyone is doing his own thing. Everyone sweeps the snow in front of their own door and doesn't care about the frost on other people's tiles. Once a strong enemy attacks, they will be defeated individually and fall apart."
Having said this, there is no need to continue what follows. Everyone knows what Shangguan wants to say, but no one is willing to say it. The scene became quiet, as if it was a scorching sun. The next second It became midnight, and it was so quiet that it felt eerie.
I'm afraid Zhang Qi is the only one who can say the following words. If he were to be anyone else at the scene, he would be attacked by a group of people. Everyone knows this truth, and Zhang Qi understands it even more, but he is not sure about the effect of saying it himself. How, he was not even sure whether the direction of these words was going in the direction he expected. Although he also had this intention in his heart, he used a step-by-step approach, so at the beginning he slowly raised questions and asked the golden leader , Lao Bula opened up the topic and slowly introduced the topic, which would make it easier for people to accept. However, Shangguan Yun's sudden speed up disrupted his plan, so he had to think of a plan in case things got out of control.
In his heart, he secretly blamed Shangguan for being too young and not prudent enough in his words and deeds, but he still had to say this, "Everyone, everyone must understand what Chairman Shangguan said. I don't need to point it out directly, but I have another Here’s an opinion, please give it a try for now.”
