Great Elf Sage

The English Province in the central part of the United Kingdom of Omas, as the seat of the former Kingdom of England and the political and economic center of the current United Kingdom of Omus, the Province of England is far ahead in terms of both the degree of civilization development and the degree of economic development. Much higher than other provinces. .

As the political and economic core of England, Forrest, the former capital of England and now the capital of the United Kingdom, is the star of the western continent known as the 'Golden City'.

The 'Golden City' Forenst, the 'City of Hundreds of Tribes' Maltas in the southern continent, the 'King City of Life' in the former Blue Mountain Kingdom in the eastern continent, and the 'Sleepless City' in the Changhe Plain are collectively known as the Aslan Continent. Four shining pearls standing at the highest point of the stars.

But now, the Blue Mountain Kingdom has been destroyed, and the 'King City of Life' standing on the Blue Mountain has also been reduced to ruins in the hands of its own human citizens, with only three of the Four Pearls left.

Among the remaining three most developed cities, only Forenst is the core of a unified regime with a vast territory.

At this time, in a huge, solemn and simple stone palace in the noble district of Forenst, the 'Golden City', a meeting with only twelve people participating was taking place around a huge round table.

There are fourteen high-backed chairs beside the round table. Among them, the two tallest and most exquisite high-backed chairs facing the stone door of the main hall are the core of the meeting.

Just above the two core positions, there is only one person sitting here, but the other one is vacant.

"... After the destruction of Blue Mountain, Aslan actually has unknown variables that can warn us of our fate."

An old man covered in black robes, even his face was hidden under the shadow of the hood, with only a gray beard showing.

A woman sitting opposite the old man, also covered in a black robe but with a slightly different hood, retorted in a hoarse voice:

"Rei San, I hope you are not so stupid as to forget that the destruction of Blue Mountain itself was not in our prediction!"

The old man known as Ling San seemed to have a bad relationship with this woman, so he immediately said in a bad tone after hearing this:

"Hmph! Zero Five, can't you tell what I mean is that 'the destruction of Blue Mountain was not in our prediction'? Ever since Zero Two returned to Destiny, you have been competing with me everywhere. , do you really want to get the position of the next 'Prophet'?"

Zero Five was not irritated, but said calmly:

"The person who wants that position the most is you, right? Rei San, I have never competed with you. You have always regarded me as your opponent unilaterally."

"Humph!"

Seeing that Ling Wu is willing to surrender, Ling San is still very unkind on the surface, but in fact he is a little proud in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Lingwu continued:

"Since Zero Two returned to Destiny, you have always regarded yourself as the sole successor of the 'Prophet'. With this attitude, you have criticized the behavior of the other 'Destiny Councilors' and criticized all the Watchers here who are obviously equal to you. ."

As soon as he finished speaking, the other ‘Deputies of Destiny’ around the round table all looked at Rei San.

"you!"

Zero Five caught the flaw and fought back fiercely. Zero Three was so angry that he was speechless. The long beard sticking out from under the hood trembled slightly. Zero Five sneered in his heart, guessing that his expression at this time must be very good-looking.

Just when Zero Three was about to refute Zero Five's words in order to alleviate the other members' wariness against him, the only meeting core sitting in one of the two core positions spoke:

"Okay, let's stop discussing the Prophet's successor!"

This person is the only one among the twelve people present who is not wearing a black robe and whose appearance is revealed. If anyone is familiar with the nobles in the central part of the United Kingdom of Omas, they will find that this person is actually the current king of the United Kingdom, Henry VI.

After seeing everyone looking at him, Henry VI revealed a secret that he had considered for a long time and finally decided to reveal:

"The prophet of the Son of Destiny is not appointed by the person who holds the 'Key of Destiny', but is appointed by the previous prophet."

"what!"

"This, this is contrary to the Destiny Execution Act!"

"That's right! If appointed by the former prophet, the meeting of destiny will no longer be fair!"

"Zero Two will definitely appoint Zero Five! Which secret regulation does this come from? Since you decided to tell Zero Four, it means that this regulation has expired, right?"

boom!

Henry VI, also known as Destiny Councilor No. 04, picked up a small hammer made of black ironwood on the round table in front of him and slapped the table hard.

"quiet!"

The other eleven people stopped talking for an instant.

Although Henry VI was only Destiny Councilor No. 04, the fate numbers, except for '01', which had a special meaning, were just an expression of his qualifications as a Destiny Councilor.

What truly represents the identity gap are the two distinctive positions.

One is the currently vacant seat of the Seer, and the other is the throne of the King of England, where Henry VI sits. These two are the deputy speakers of the Destiny Council, and the main speaker is not established.

The small hammer made of black ironwood is a symbol that is only used when the two vice-speakers propose a ‘destiny proposal’ that cannot be passed unless all the other twelve members oppose it.

When there is no new prophet among the thirteen members, it means that Henry VI's proposal will not be vetoed.

Therefore, they had to listen to what Henry VI said at this time, and they did not dare not to listen.

After Henry VI saw that everyone was quiet, he ignored their moods that might be ups and downs and said to himself:

"Every prophet has three opportunities to deliver a message to the Key of Destiny after returning to destiny. Among these three opportunities, only the first is the response made by the prophet while retaining his personality. The two subsequent ones are It is the news that Key of Destiny responded independently based on the first active response.”

After a pause, and after everyone had digested the news, Henry VI continued:

"And among these two messages, the second one is about the appointment of the next prophet. In other words, the selection of each prophet is made by Key of Destiny after combining the knowledge of each previous prophet. The appointment ruling..."

As soon as the words fell, discussions immediately started.

This news is the first time these Destiny Councilors have heard of it. They have never heard of it in the past hundreds of years. There is only a brief mention in the "Destiny Execution Act" that "the prophet will be executed by all the destinies." Judgment together under the witness of fate'.

But I didn’t expect that the ‘executors of destiny’ turned out not to refer to them, the Destiny Councilors, but to the prophets who had returned to destiny.

The secret ballot elections carried out by the Destiny Council for so many years turned out to be just a lie.

Henry VI clapped the hammer again and said:

"However, what I want to say today is not this matter..."

Seeing everyone stop the discussion and look at him, he continued:

"What I want to talk about this time is the last message that the Key of Destiny sent to Zero Two after he returned to his destiny... This message is obviously the same threat as the fate warning that Zero Two sent back for the first time. But the content has become completely different from the first message!”
