"Haines, congratulations on the success of your operation in Sierra Leone."
A short figure stepped out of the shadow of the pillar, its back a little stiff, and its voice sounded as if it had been fished out of icy water.
The wheelchair's motor stopped abruptly, and Haynes stopped at the table.
He noticed that at the oval wooden tables filled with senators, behind the huge pillars, several mysterious men dressed in monks' garbs stood with their hands down, their faces covered by wide pointed hoods, like stone statues in an ancient castle, cold and eerie.
Haynes, the "High Priest of Pétain," recognized the owner of the voice, which was Pétain, the High Priest of the Restoration Meeting.
The Priesthood and the Deacon's Department are two of the major bodies of the Restoration Order, one responsible for internal disciplinary supervision, member review, rune research, etc., and the other responsible for external operations, infiltration, assassination, etc.
If you look at it from a corporate perspective, then the priesthood is the administrative department, and the deacon's department is the business department.
At the head of the two departments, there is also a senatorial council.
The Council of Elders is responsible for the planning of major events and the overall direction of the Restoration Society, and can be regarded as the highest authority of the Restoration Society, and can be regarded as the board of directors of the company.
"Unexpectedly, even the High Priest of Petain came."
Haynes had a faint smile on his face.
He waved at High Priest Petain, "The last time we saw each other was ten years ago. ” The face of the High Priest of Petain was hidden in the shadow of the hood, and the expression was invisible, but the voice was still very distinctive, cold, thin, and harsh.
"I remember, the last time I saw you, you were lying on a hospital bed, covered in gauze, and half your life was lost," said the high priest of Pétain, "I didn't expect that we would meet again in ten years, and we would be in the Eagle's Nest." ” "Yes, after the spy island incident back then, the Godlight plan came to naught, I thought you, the big steward of discipline, were going to kill me as punishment."
Haines still had that kind of light smile, bent over the wheelchair slightly, and said, "Thank you for your mercy." ” The priesthood and the deacon's office rarely interacted with each other, and the two bodies often only exchanged information, and if the deacon's office was not wrong, the priest's council could not interfere in the deacon's operations.
"You don't have to thank me for this, it's the decision of the Senate," said the High Priest of Pétain, whose laughter was cold, "but today the situation is a little different, and perhaps it is your plan that has left a legacy that has caused me to be in this situation, and I have lost four of my men and nearly twenty guards in South Africa."
"Wait," Haynes interrupted Petain, "Mr.
High Priest, I think there's one thing you have to figure out, I've lost a lot more than you this time.
An alchemy channel that has been opened to the underworld of Haim, you don't know how valuable it is, I spent three years to blackmail a fallen dwarf, and it took another five years to give him five billion dollars, and at all costs to acquire expensive alchemy equipment, the channel that was established was destroyed because of one of your radical actions, and I haven't settled this account with you yet. ” "The reason why today's situation is not all the hidden dangers you left on the spy island, I am just clarifying the future troubles for you" "Well, I have to thank you," Haynes said coldly, "I'm very strange, it's hard to see who revealed the ghost information to you, and you've been watching me all along."
High Priest Petain lightly snorted and said, "The Chinese have an old saying, if you want people not to know, unless you can't do it" "That's enough," the old man at the oval table suddenly interrupted the two: "Today's meeting of elders is not for the two of you to settle old accounts. ” He turned to look at Haynes and changed his face to a kind one, "Dr.
Haynes, please come to the table." ” "Yes, it's my pleasure, Mr.
Oliver."
With his right hand on his left chest, Haynes saluted Oliver, the president of the Senate, and then calmly drove the wheelchair to the table and sat quietly.
The face of the High Priest of Petain changed, and it was a compliment and a great honor to be able to sit with the members of the Senate at the oval table, which represented the core of the power of the Restoration Order.
Clearly, Oliver, the old man, was pleased with the results of Haines' recent actions.
At the oval table were twelve chairs, all of which were white-haired old men, some of them bald, who, unlike Haynes, were all dressed in toga robes, with a buckle of gold and an Atlantean pattern.
Haynes sat in his wheelchair and bowed slightly to the men.
These were all old acquaintances of Haynes, and they all greeted him in the same way.
"Everyone is here, and I think we can start the meeting now.
This is the first time in 10 years that we have reconvened the Council of Seniors, and the people sitting at the table are all old acquaintances, but perhaps some of us are not familiar with the members of the Council of Leaders, so I will introduce them one by one. ” This sentence, of course, was addressed to the several priests standing by the pillar, and in addition to the high priest Pétain, there were also the three highest-ranking senior priests in the Restoration Priesthood Order, except for the senior priest Green, who was seriously injured by an arrow shot by Michelle, a presbyterian demon hunter in South Africa.
"The Elwinson Family" "Cook Lang Drag Reduction" "The Yamamoto Family" Each of these patriarchs represents a large Atlantean pure-blood family, which is like a member of parliament, and they are the symbol of the surviving descendants of Atlantis around the world.
Every time he touched a patriarch, he would raise his right fist and show the silver ring on his index finger, a thick and simple ring, and a different totem on the huge ring surface.
This is their family badge that has been passed down for 10,000 years, representing honor.
"I'm afraid you'll all be surprised to gather here today, the Senate hasn't met for ten years, and the affairs of the Restoration Council have been handed over to the High Priest of Petain and Dr.
Haynes, but there seems to have been a lot of turmoil lately, and I have received a very important piece of information, and after careful consideration, I have to restart the Presbyterian Council again."
After introducing the high-ranking old guys at the table, Oliver, the uncollected chairman of the Senate, spoke.
"In Sierra Leone, we have lost a lot of manpower, and our guardian suzerain, Fafnir, of the Atlantis Divine Domain, has just been resurrected and has been hit hard, I would like to ask Mr.
Haynes now, if you went to the Banana Islands to search for dragon cocoons, did you have any results?"
"Living up to the trust, I have found the dragon cocoon, which is currently in a safe place.
However, "Haines was speechless.
"But what" Hearing that the dragon cocoon had been found, Oliver's face relaxed slightly, and after hearing the "but" in the back, he seemed to be very concerned
