Wise people prefer to be nobles in paradise rather than kings in swamps and radiation pits.And there are those who are not interested in the pleasure of life and modern society, and there will always be a few extremists in 10,000 who want to rebuild their glory no matter what, who are motivated and dangerous in their sense of glory or the beautiful fantasy of world domination.But they are in the minority.The Shadow Council is an organization that maintains the interests of the majority, and those in power who want to continue to enjoy, continue to be peaceful, and continue to have wealth have formed this council in order to make the future work in a direction more in line with their expectations, while constantly eliminating the minorities who try to challenge them.However, Hao Ren knew that all the order and rules in the mortal world were temporary, and this Shadow Council system was also temporary, just like the Age of Mythology was about to end, and the high-pressure peace that the demon hunters had maintained for thousands of years had also ended in these few days, and the Shadow Council, it could last for a shorter time.But at least for the time being, there is no need to worry about turmoil.The topic of the Shadow Council and its future direction has been discussed for the second day.As the largest sanctuary in Europe, it is home to representatives of the native families of the Athenian sanctuary, as well as speakers from other sanctuaries in the European region in recent days.These people had gathered here to discuss various issues after the witchers had disappeared, and they had gathered just right, so the meeting was escalated to something like "Representatives of Occult Beings in the European Zone.
General Assembly".It is also said that the leaders of the alien families from other parts of the world are also converging here, and they have all responded to the call of the Athenian Sanctuary - strictly speaking to the call of the most senior ancients, so the formation of the Shadow Council has been unexpectedly swift.Hao Ren was not interested in participating in this, so he led the group to withdraw from the direct meeting and discussion process the next day, and instead wandered around the Shadow City.He wasn't worried about things getting out of his watch, as Heatherenne was still at the meeting, and as the doppelganger of the "Most Ancient", the little bat spirit was striding in the direction of the upper echelons of the Shadow Council, competing with the senior family leaders.Although the little bat spirit is a bear child, she is quite reliable in her own field.Under Vivian's strong orders, the bear child listened to Hao Ren honestly, and reported the formation of the Shadow Council while attending the meeting, and at the same time played his own role in the meeting according to Vivian and Hao Ren's instructions.Now they wandered to a high platform in the southwest corner of the city, which was the entrance to the Shadow Fortress when they first visited, and behind it was the antique shop of Hesperith.A doppelganger of the ancient tree Gonrudar swayed in the corner of the platform, shaking its branches and leaves idly, and occasionally watching the movements of the mistress Vivien with a pair of dim eyes on the trunk.The Old Treant is one of the most respected ancients in the city, but it also did not participate in the meeting: regarding the formation of the Shadow Council, it was the "Dry.
I'm a ballist.""
Mistress, look at this city, there are thousands of supernatural creatures, in the past few thousand years, less than a tenth of the supernatural creatures here have dared to operate in this world, and they have to be very low-key and very secretive, because as soon as they show up, the witchers will flock to them," the old treant felt a little bored, and began to talk to Vivien, "I heard about the Shadow Council and the end of the hunt - it means that tens of thousands of supernatural creatures will enter human society in the open, to be honest, The old tree was a little uneasy. ”Gonrudar is a magical ancient tree, it has the nature of its own race, that is, it does not like change very much, it is not sure whether the future is good or bad, so it can't help but say what it thinks."
It's not 'above board', there is a clause in the agreement, that is, you can't interfere with the social order at will, because the chaos of the social order will affect the human interests of many big families," Vivian patiently corrected, "And how many tens of thousands of people?"
Not to mention that not everyone passes the asylum exit test, even if they do......
Do you know how many people there are in the human world?
”"Of course, there will still be a little change, such as a lot of urban weird stories or supernatural legends that suddenly pop up."
Hao Ren smiled, but he didn't take it seriously.The censor should pay attention to the "orderly development" of civilization, but the orderly development is not immutable, and any change is a normal situation without shaking the foundation, and he does not need to care about it, nor does he bother to take care of it.As the Shadow Council matures, there are more and more aliens among humans, and more and more humans have access to the occult realm, and some subtle changes will occur naturally, and this peaceful mutual penetration does not seem to be bad.Just as Hao Ren was spinning a lot of chaotic prospects in his mind, a shadow suddenly appeared on the platform, and a thick smoke came out of the shadow, and the smoke quickly condensed into the shape of a woman.This is a woman with a cold temperament, none other than Hela, who has been making frequent appearances lately, one of the only survivors of the Norse god system.Because she is low-key and cold, she hardly communicates with outsiders, Hao Ren has never been familiar with her, but after the last "Shadow of Chaos" incident, he can be considered to know this "goddess of death"."
You're looking for me?"
Hela walked straight over to Vivien, "Hesperith said I'll see you when the meeting is over. ”Although Hela is also a veteran "god" who has survived the mythological era, she is not yet an ancient person.Not all the outliers who have lived through the age of mythology are considered ancients, only those who were born in the glory days of the gods and have a certain amount of influence.Hesperius was just right enough to meet the standard because of his age, and Hela was just a little bit close, so he could only be classified as "Middle Ages".So despite her withdrawn personality and bad temper, she still has to show enough awe to Vivien.According to the grapevine, Hela was robbed of a sugar bar by Vivien when she was a child - it is also possible that her father, Loki, was robbed of a sugar bar."
It's not me looking for you," Vivien raised her hand to Hao Ren, "I'm looking for you." ”Perhaps in order to emphasize Hao Ren's status as a "team leader" in the old-fashioned and stubborn alien group, and to give him more say in the shelter, Vivien became accustomed to referring to Hao Ren as the "master" after coming to the Shadow Fortress, and she used this way to openly admit Hao Ren's leadership in front of other aliens, and thus transfer her authority to Hao Ren.It turned out to be a good result - except for the stimulation of the nervous little bat spirit who likes to make up the brain.Hyra glanced at Hao Ren expressionlessly, with some exploration in her eyes.Hao Ren was not polite, and spoke directly: "You are a survivor of the Norse god system. ”Hela continued to look expressionless and nodded."
You were present when the Yugudo Rahir Space Chain exploded and escaped from the explosion?"
Hela continued to nod."
Do you know where the space debris left after the explosion of the 'Nine Kingdoms' is?
Any clue will do. ”Hela's expression finally changed: "Are you looking for the whereabouts of the Nine Kingdoms?"
”As soon as Hao Ren heard her reply, his heart suddenly moved: the other party did not deny those space fragments, but asked him if he was looking for those things, and the implication was that the wreckage of the Nine Kingdoms really existed?!
Originally, he just called the Nordic survivor over and asked casually, and he didn't have much hope, but then he suddenly had a sense of surprise!"
Those nine spaces really still exist?!"
Hao Ren's eyes burned, "Do you know the situation of Watt Alheim and Jotunheim?"
”Hela looked at Hao Ren with suspicion in her eyes, but she didn't intend to hide it when she mentioned the historical relics that had completely turned into ruins: "Even a relatively simple 'divine realm' like Mount Olympus can survive some fragments after the explosion, let alone the Eugudolahil space chain.At the beginning, the witchers only destroyed the branches of the world tree that connected the nine kingdoms to the main material world, leaving these alien spaces out of the main material world, but they did not destroy these alien spaces themselves. ”Destroying a kingdom and destroying the space in which this kingdom is located are completely different concepts, just as human weapons can easily destroy human civilization itself, but they can't shake the foundation of the earth, and the witchers can only destroy Warner and the Aesir gods, but it is impossible to completely destroy the nine different spaces, which is consistent with Hao Ren's guess!"
The alternate dimensions of the Nine Kingdoms should still exist, and Watt Alheim and Jotunheim are no exception," Hela continued, "but their connection to the main physical world has been broken, and you have to find them......
Hard. ”Hao Ren raised his eyebrows: "Listening to your tone, what do you seem to do?"
”Hela hesitated, and Vivien put her hand on her shoulder, "Whatever you have, it's best for us to try."
Maybe those things don't work in your hands, but they don't work in ours. ”Hela frowned, no change in expression on her cold face, but she clearly weighed it.Finally, she held her hand up out of thin air, and a metal object quickly appeared in the air with a hissing electric current."
This is the tip of Gungnir's spear."
