In the northwest of Aslan's continent, Forenst, the royal city of the United Kingdom. .1kanshu

Several days have passed since the battle between the ‘God of War’ Arteus and the mysterious true spirit.

Although the sudden throbbing from the mark of destiny has never appeared again, the Destiny Council, which personally experienced the attack of Ateus' concept ten years ago, is very sensitive to this situation, so these days, ten The three Destiny Councilors have had many discussions about this sudden incident.

Today, the Destiny Council once again held a discussion meeting on this incident.

In the secret meeting hall located somewhere in the noble district of Forenst, except for the first two seats of deputy speaker, which is still vacant, the seats of the other thirteen members of Destiny have been occupied.

Ten years ago, after Thirteen and Fourteen died at the hands of Arteus, the Destiny Council at that time began to prepare for the selection of new members. After a year of observation and testing, it was finally selected among dozens of candidates. The two most talented young people were selected to inherit the positions of No. 13 and No. 14, the last seats in the parliament.

Since the third fate notice appeared that year and an unprecedented hostile relationship with a 'god', the selection did not follow the tradition of the Destiny Council for more than a hundred years and select the true person through various indirect methods. The identities of the successors are unknown, but the eleven members jointly reviewed and selected two successors who knew their roots.

A boy and a girl are the new thirteenth and fourteenth seats in the Parliament of Destiny.

They are the only members of Parliament who show their true colors, except for the Deputy Speaker Henry VI.

At this time, the atmosphere in the round table hall of the Destiny Council was a bit dull.

This state has lasted for several days, because they still have no clue about the sudden throbbing before, and the Key of Destiny shows no sign of warning.

The Finance Minister of the United Kingdom, Zero San, suddenly spoke:

"How about... let's quickly elect a new Zero Two, the successor prophet!"

Zero Five immediately objected

"No! Thirteen and Fourteen still have half a year to reach the standard of fully integrating the Seal of Destiny. Now that the 'Judgment Appointment' has expired, forcibly selecting a prophet will only lead to the downfall of the two of them. We have to spend the least amount of time. Ten years to train a new successor!”

Henry VI also said

"What Zero Five said is right. After losing two seats, even if we elect the successor of the prophet, we will not be able to activate the power of the Key of Destiny. Once the twenty-year period comes nine years later, Atyu If Si finds out that we can't activate the Destiny Notice, it will only make him guess some of our weaknesses."

Rei San no longer has that aggressive attitude. After experiencing the baptism of war and ten years, he is now just an old man who is a little afraid of things.

"Sigh... Then what do you think we should do? Ateus is too powerful. It is really difficult for us without the prophet to compete with him."

Everyone fell into silence.

Over the years, the confrontation between the two major forces in the east and west of the Aslan continent has attracted the attention of the entire continent. As the United Kingdom that has been dominant for hundreds of years, although it is not inferior to the Eastern United Kingdom in local wars and proxy wars, the Eastern United Kingdom is a grassroots initiative. Emerging countries can gradually rise despite the suppression of the United Kingdom, which is obvious to all across the continent.

However, the United Kingdom seems to have maintained restraint, and the Eastern Alliance has also tacitly agreed not to expand the scale of the war, and the overall situation is on a steady rise.

In the eyes of the people and other forces on the mainland, it is as if the United Kingdom is afraid of the Eastern Union.

From this point of view, it is the United Kingdom that has completely failed.

In fact, it was indeed the United Kingdom that gave in. The Destiny Council, which secretly controlled the direction of the kingdom, wanted to buy time for the emergence of the prophet and did not want to face Ateus prematurely. This is why the situation of local war was maintained openly. , secretly giving in step by step.

And Arteus didn't know the details of the Parliament of Destiny, so he didn't escalate the war.

The situation maintained a delicate balance for ten years.

After the confrontation that year, the Destiny Council carefully reviewed the information, combined with the characteristics of Ateus and the unintentional 'body shape' of the new Thirteen, and was convinced of the existence of the true spirit level.

For such extraordinary beings outside the rules, the Destiny Council really doesn't have many ways to deal with it, and can only place its hope on the prophet...

Just when the atmosphere in the hall was getting dull and it was about to end like the previous few days, ‘Thirteen’ suddenly spoke.

"Everyone, I found a problem."

Everyone else's eyes instantly turned to 'Thirteen'.

Although 'Thirteen' came from a poor background, his talent was the highest among all the people in the parliament, and he had a sharp mind. In the nearly ten years after he succeeded, many of the difficulties that the parliament faced when facing Ateus were due to It was solved under his 'suggestion', so no one dared to take his 'discovery' lightly.

"My child, what did you find?" Zero Five asked in a gentle tone. She had a good impression of this young man who came from the same poor family as herself.

‘Thirteen’ thought for a moment and then said

"We have been speculating before that Arteus did not take the initiative to escalate the conflict because he did not probe our details and did not want the fragile Eastern Alliance to face the powerful military power of the United Kingdom. But now, after more than ten years of hard work, the Eastern Alliance After integration, we are no longer inferior to us in terms of military strength. With Arteus’ current understanding of us, he can directly intervene..."

Everyone in the council had gloomy faces after hearing this. What Thirteen said was exactly what they were worried about, so the Council of Destiny, which always despised everything in the world, was eager to have a new prophet born.

Deputy Speaker Henry VI said with some expectation

"Thirteen, tell me what you discovered!"

Thirteen said with some uncertainty

"Do you still remember why there have always been only twelve people in the parliament? Even if the prophet numbered zero two is included, there are only thirteen people, but the parliament number is fourteen?"

"That's because zero one is a symbolic position, zero two is the number of the prophet, and all members start ranking from zero three..."

It was Zero Three who answered Thirteen's question, but before he could finish speaking, Zero Five suddenly thought of something and interrupted him.

"Thirteen, are you talking about the legend of Zero One?"

"The legend of Zero One?" The other Destiny Councilors frowned after hearing this.

Seeing that the other council members had thought of the mysterious Zero One according to their own plans, Thirteen nodded and said solemnly

"Yes, I think Zero-One's existence is real! And it was He who scared Ateus away!"

"...frightened?" Henry VI discovered the information in Thirteen's words.

Thirteen nodded and said

"Yes, I think that the throbbing we collectively felt a few days ago was caused by Ateus' sneak attack, and nothing more happened after that because Zero One scared Ateus back. !”

"This is just a fantasy escaping from the facts..." Reisan continued his pessimistic speech.

Thirteen remained unmoved and continued:

"Since the existence of Ateus proves that the legend of the true spirit is indeed true, then why can't Zero One be an ancient true spirit?"

Everyone was talking about it. The long-term disadvantage when facing Ateus made them lose the confidence they had developed in controlling the fate of the world in the past. Thirteen's remarks seemed to allow them to find their spiritual sustenance again.

Seeing that everyone was already discussing that the great man in history would be the true spirit that protected the Parliament, Deputy Speaker Henry VI sighed, thinking silently in his heart.

It is precisely because Zero One is a symbol that the Parliament of Destiny has been able to maintain its independence for so many years. If the legendary Zero One who is above the Parliament really exists, will the Parliament still be the Parliament? Will Zero One's aims align with the interests of Parliament?

...In other words, will "Zero One" allow the Parliament to continue to occupy the Key of Destiny and allow the Parliament to exist?

"Who could Zero One be?"

Henry VI couldn't help but think back to the English royal family...no, the guardian family of the Hall of Destiny, the waiters and dependents of an ancient existence, an unknown legend that his family has been passing down orally for many years.

"Two thousand years after the creation of the world, human ancestors were born. Three hundred years later, human beings gained wisdom. Three hundred years later, the first ancient king appeared...

For four hundred years, the ancient king led the weak humans to struggle to survive in a world full of powerful creatures, established the first human kingdom, and at the same time opened up the most primitive extraordinary path for humans...

According to legend, this ancient king finally died in the True Spirit War, but his attendants knew that he was not dead, but sleeping in a distant place outside the world...

People at that time called him the Human King,

His name is Solomon. "
