What do Daniel think? What could he have thought?
Now he only feels that the world is changing very fast, and the situation at hand is very problematic. He is a little panicked, but it is useless. The master is sitting opposite and watching, but he feels at a loss as to what to do next. Take a good look at it. Meeting, how can a few sentences be more difficult than calculus and surface problems...
But he has experienced ups and downs after all, and can handle the intricate upper class society in Aldernan, He can also adapt to the weird and dark Order of the Eversleeper. After becoming a loyal servant of the wanderers outside the territory, he has a new excellent trait, that is, he is very good at figuring out the intentions of his superiors.
Gawain, who was sitting opposite, nodded slightly to him.
Daniel breathed a sigh of relief quietly: He understands this.
"I agree with Archbishop Selina," the old mage stood up and said calmly and quietly, with a calm tone after careful consideration, "outside wanderers are a feasible option."
p>Some people couldn't help but say: "We have always kept a distance from Him. We have never cooperated with Him before, and we only had unpleasant contacts. Now we suddenly have to hand over the issue of life and death to such an indescribable existence. This thing is still too weird..."
"The key to the question is not whether we want to put our life and death in His hands, but that it is indeed possible for us and Him to reach an agreement," Daniel said calmly, "The reasons have been mentioned by Archbishop Selina just now, so I won't repeat them. I will only add two points -" First, we are no longer qualified to plan leisurely. Let’s be real, compatriots, Sandbox No. 1 is out of control. The upper-level narrator is gradually entering the real world. Compared with the wanderers outside the territory, the things in Sandbox No. 1 are already a threat with the tip of a knife on everyone’s neck. We There is no choice - it is not that we chose the extraterrestrial wanderers, but I am afraid that the only ones left in this world who can fight against Sandbox No. 1 and may help us are the extraterrestrial wanderers.
"Second, the Outer Territory Wanderer is a being at a higher level than human beings, and he has already used religious reforms to intervene in the 'theocracy'. We have reason to believe that he is interested in the 'gods' , in other words, when the upper-level narrator really enters the real world, he will most likely be attracted to this new god, and he will most likely come to us. When he comes to us, we will think about it again. 'Proposing cooperation' is not that easy."
After Daniel's words fell, a low voice of discussion suddenly sounded in the conference hall. Obviously, the two points he added were extremely persuasive and powerful. It was almost impossible to refute, and Gawain, who was sitting opposite, nodded with satisfaction: the old mage's cooperation was just right, and the second reason gave Gawain the motivation to intervene in the incident. Such an excellent subordinate can do anything at any time. Very rare.
Gawain was just a little curious, how did Daniel know what he wanted him to say - obviously there was no indication from his side, nor was there any discussion in advance.The next plan is to nod and let the other party just say a few words to deal with it...
The discussion in the hall lasted for several minutes. Gradually, the archbishops seemed to have reached a helpless consensus. .
They did not really agree with this almost whimsical "plan", but after discussing it, they found that they really could not find a better option.
At this time, Pope Megall III, who had always been floating above the meeting venue and had been quietly observing the meeting most of the time, suddenly broke his silence: "Then, the plan is confirmed."
"What an irony... We are committed to fighting the gods, but in the end we have to resort to a god-like 'existence'... Are our efforts for so many years still meaningful?" Archbishop Magnan muttered in a low voice with a gloomy face. , yet the muttering could be heard almost throughout the venue.
"At least we have tried another way," Megall III interrupted Magnum's mumbling with a flat voice, "Next, we should discuss how to establish contact with the wanderers outside the territory. How to accurately convey our wishes - this matter needs to be carried out as soon as possible, we don't have much time."
Gawain sat in his seat and once again entered a state of wandering.
"For such a rash contact, gaining trust should be the most important thing," Yuri, who was sitting next to Gawain, stood up and said, "He should be wary and repulsive towards us. If we make a request directly, He will probably refuse..."
People in the hall spoke one after another: "We should find someone who knows Cecil better to contact..."
"I think it is too much On the contrary, the foreshadowing will have the opposite effect, and it will appear that we are not sincere. It is better to explain our intentions directly, which may gain his favor."
"The wanderer from outside the territory is obviously paying attention to us. Hasn't he already analyzed us? Has his technology created an improved 'messaging device'? Can we use technology to win his favor..."
The archbishops fell into heated discussions while Gawain sat quietly.
Among these archbishops, their thoughts gradually calmed down.
He looked around and had a bold idea brewing in his mind.
Things have reached today's situation. Whether the Mind Network can survive depends entirely on whether it can solve the crisis in Sandbox No. 1... After these years of layout, a large number of permissions of the Mind Network have essentially fallen to Daniel. And in his hands... To further strengthen and shape the powerful image of the wanderers outside the territory, and to make these eternal sleepers more "cooperative"...
Gawain nodded secretly: The time seems to be almost here.
The archbishops of the Supreme Episcopal Conference were immersed in discussions, immersed in the analysis of wanderers outside the territory, and speculations about "Gawain Cecil".
Then, Yuri Chalvin found someone sitting next to him at some point -
Short brown hair, a majestic face, a burly figure, with a look like There is a substantial majestic temperament.
Gawain knocked on the table lightly, looked around the audience with a smile, and nodded gently: "I also agree with Selina Gerfen's opinion."
The whole discussion hall fell into a panic instantly. Needles can be heard.
Even the starlight aggregate floating in the air stiffened for an instant and stopped shrinking and squirming.
After a few seconds of indescribable silence, the entire hall suddenly erupted with a strong vibration. The minds of a large number of high-level peak and even legendary powerhouses were shaken at the same time at this moment, causing the temple to violently tremble. When Gawain stood up, terrifying cracks spread from the hall to the outer wall of the temple. Amidst the weird whistling and roaring sounds, some of the twenty-two archbishops in front of Gawain stood up suddenly, while others stared at the table and held on to the table. Some opened their mouths and exclaimed, and then one figure after another disappeared into the conference venue in the turbulent light and shadow - they were offline.
"Psychic Storm!!"
A thunderous voice suddenly sounded, and Magnan almost subconsciously raised his hands to cast his most powerful and best spell. , however, the moment the spell was cast, he showed an expression that something was wrong, and maintained this expression to interrupt the connection with the conference venue.
At the same time that Magnum disappeared, the psychic storm swept through the conference hall, swept over the gorgeous golden round table and every seat, and hit the heads of the remaining archbishops who had not had time to go offline. , almost all the archbishops who remained calm and wanted to stay on the scene were kicked off the Internet.
After a period of extreme chaos, there was only a mess left in the golden council hall. The aftermath of the spiritual storm hovered at the top of the hall. The columns with intricate patterns around them were scarred, the ground was broken, and the dome was cracked. The gorgeous huge round table has also lost all its RGB lights...
There are only three "people" left in the hall besides Gawain. One is Megoir who is floating in the air and still looks stiff and still. Three generations, one is Selina Gerfen who is sitting not far away with an expressionless face, and the other is Yuri Chalvin who is sitting on Gawain's left hand side.
The latter was sitting there with a pale face and many scars on his body. He looked not in good condition.
As for Daniel... In order not to reveal the abnormality, in order to continue to remain hidden, the old mage used all his acting skills in an instant, and left the network in "fright" like everyone else.
With the help of the high-level authority and his strong mental resistance, Gawain withstood the attack of the psychic storm. He was confused, but his expression remained calm and solemn, and he adjusted his clothes a little. After that, he looked up at Selina: "Why didn't you leave?"
Selina looked at Gawain deeply: "...I can only survive on the Internet, there is no point in leaving here. ."
Gawain nodded and looked at Megal III in the air: "What about you? Why didn't you leave?"
The starlight aggregate finally resumed expansion and contraction. Squirming, the voice of the Ever-Sleeping Pope came from it: "...I am very curious about you."
Gawain finally looked at Archbishop Yuri beside him, who seemed to be in a bad condition, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
"...Okay."
p>"Why did you stay?"
Yuri's face was stiff and his tone was weird. He seemed not to want to speak, but he had to speak: "...My mind storm against Magnum ...The resistance is relatively high."
It sounds like he is not very happy that he can withstand Magnum's psychic storm.
But Gawain was very happy. He had not been so naughty for a long time.
Moreover, even after being skinned, the character's character did not collapse. Instead, it left an enigmatic impression.
This helps maintain a good attitude.
He sat on the chair as if he was the master here. While sketching the image of himself as an "outside wanderer" in his mind, he looked around the entire hall, and then He smiled and said: "It's a wonderful place. Just from the perspective of technical strength, you are quite good."
"What is the next part of the meeting?" Can we continue?
"Do I need to wait for others to come back?"
Selena looked at Gawain who was sitting there indifferently, her expression did not change for a long time, until more than ten seconds later, she Then he took a breath, looked into Gawain's eyes and said, "You do look a lot like Gawain Cecil."
"In a sense, I am also Gawain Cecil." ," Gawain nodded and said casually, "About this topic, if you have the chance, you can talk to Bertila."
He responded to Selina's gaze calmly.
He knew that this "Lady with the Lamp" was closely related to Gawain Cecil's mysterious voyage seven hundred years ago. She might have known from the beginning that something foreign was occupying her. After revealing the body of Gawain Cecil (although the term "Outlander" had not yet appeared at that time), she may also know many details that even Gawain himself does not know, but these questions can be temporarily suppressed. If you have time, you can learn about it slowly.
"Bertila..." Selina frowned slightly and repeated the name in a low voice, "She seems to have survived in some form..."
"Yes. , It’s not a secret, she is now a citizen of the Cecil Empire,” Gawain nodded.
After another moment of silence, Selena slightly raised the lantern in her hand, and as an invisible force swept across the entire venue, layers of waves rippled in the messy conference hall, being The data destroyed by the psychic storm was quickly restored, and the columns, domes, floors, and round tables all returned to their original appearance in the blink of an eye.
Gawain looked at this scene and couldn't help but said helplessly: "Actually, I just want to give you a surprise."
"...I'm surprised, but I'm not happy. ," came the voice of Megall III, who seemed to have become much older all of a sudden, "We always thought that we had maintained good relationship with you.I kept a distance, thinking that at least I was safe in this network, but..."
"Frankly speaking, your security measures did cause me a little trouble, especially after you restructured After breaking the mental barrier of the network and using various new security technologies, it has become a lot more troublesome," Gawain said casually, calmly helping Daniel re-paste his vest, "But fortunately, I am familiar with technology. I also have some understanding of the field, and your mental barrier is not too difficult for me to break through. "
Megor III was silent for a few seconds and asked cautiously: "When did you enter...here? "
Gawain thought for a while and said deliberately vaguely: "Sometimes, I will act with you. "
Silence, an even more embarrassing silence.
When the embarrassment became more and more serious, Megall III finally spoke.
" Put the other Gather people back. Let's move on to...meeting.
"Tell Magnum to let him calm down before coming in."
