Chapter 1416 Rationality in the Siren World View

At this moment, many people's eyes focused on the holographic projection in the center of the hall, on the delicate but lifeless "Ophelia Norton" sitting on the throne, they saw Looking at this "the last royal family of the ancient Gondor Empire", it seems that he wants to see a hint of attitude from this ancient man's face.

Others are looking at the seats of the Typhon Empire and the Silver Empire. They are paying attention to any subtle changes in the expressions of Rosetta Augustus and Belsetia Morningstar, waiting for the two leaders of the empire. Statement—every representative at the scene knew that this kind of issue related to the basic order, people in small countries would always keep their mouths light. Only the statements of the three major empires could determine the final direction of the matter.

For the representatives of many countries here, this is probably the most unimaginable and unconventional situation they have ever encountered: they are discussing the ruined capital over the capital of an ancient empire that has been destroyed for seven hundred years Should it be regarded as an independent city-state, and the last heir of the ancient empire is still alive and watching the progress of the meeting from the depths of the earth - while the last heir has gathered a powerful iron man around him force……

A representative from a small southwestern country couldn't help but wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, and whispered to the deputy next to him, "I think they should send someone with less hair next time..."

The deputy also lowered his voice, and said with some helplessness: "I really didn't expect things to develop like this... Although we didn't think we had the opportunity to intervene in the Deep Blue Well from the beginning, the previous speculations of the kingdom's advisors believed that the three empires It will occupy and carve up this source of magic... Now if the Deep Blue Well really becomes an independent city-state and becomes a 'member state' of the alliance, then many subsequent plans will have to be rearranged."

"Let's look at the situation first." The representative of the kingdom took a light breath. "Such a proposal like this will definitely take a long time to discuss. At least the opinions of the three empires will have to be repeated..."

Before the representative finished speaking, a slight buzzing sound suddenly sounded in the hall. After the speech prompt, the voice of the Silver Queen Belsetia came: "The Silver Empire agrees to this proposal. As Gondor As an ally of the Empire and one of the council members of the current alliance, we recognize and support the complete sovereignty and neutral status of the Deep Blue Well."

"Typhon also agrees." Almost at the moment when the Silver Queen's voice fell, the speech prompt sounded again, and the slightly deep voice of Rosetta Augustus came to the ears of the representatives, "Although the ancient country of Gondor has fully It was destroyed, but the Deep Blue Well has been standing as an independent region and underground city-state until today, and the heirs of the Norton royal family are still there, and they are in substantial control of the region. From the perspective of future alliance development, the legitimacy of Deep Blue Well as an independent city-state should be recognized and its neutral position should be supported."

The representatives of various countries in the hall were a little stunned for a while, maybe they didn't expect such a sensitive issue worth discussing to be "solved" in such an instant.

But soon someone realized that from the very beginning, the independence and neutral status of the Deep Blue Well might not have been a "proposal". The three empires had obviously reached a consensus long before this meeting.

For issues like this that really involve the stability of the alliance and the basic post-war order, the three major empires have probably already completed their negotiations-they will not enter the long stage of quarreling at the venue at all.

In the holographic projection in the center of the hall, "Ophelia Norton" sitting on the golden throne is still watching the development of the matter quietly, there is no emotion in those empty eyes, and she can't even see the movement of breathing. Her body fluctuated slightly, as if what happened at the venue had nothing to do with her, until Gao Wen's voice broke the silence: "The permanent member countries have voted, and then the member states will vote. If two-thirds of them object, this proposal will be rejected." And re-discuss, if the proposal is finally passed, then enter the process of joining the alliance of the city-state of Deep Blue Well - in view of the actual situation of Princess Ophelia Norton, this process will be completed by Cecil..."

...

This meeting lasted a whole day - but for the entire Tarash meeting, this was only the beginning.

Siren successfully became a new member of the alliance, and Deep Blue Well successfully joined the alliance in the form of a permanent neutral city-state, and was officially regarded as the "successor of the ancient kingdom of Gondor"—and after that, countless Unclear things need to be dealt with: Ophelia Norton announced the energy and arcane crystal export plan of the Deep Blue Well when she joined the alliance; Typhon proposed a joint development and reconstruction plan for the entire Gondor wasteland; The Silver Empire proposed a plan to establish some kind of transnational development entity, and there were a lot of proposals for post-war economic reconstruction, food aid, and medical assistance put forward by representatives of countries including Ogure and Gaoling Kingdom. In the end, in this first In a day, the proposals put forward by the alliance countries piled up into mountains.

Every item in this "mountain" is a top priority, and every problem that is not handled properly will be a thunderstorm, and this will become a challenge that everyone will face in the entire meeting.

This victory itself has become the first major challenge the alliance has faced since its establishment—it will also be like a trial, verifying whether the alliance order created by Gawain Cecil can really be as good as he used to be at the 112 meeting. function as described.

"The problems that need to be dealt with are piled up, but as long as these problems are dealt with, the whole world will usher in a period of rapid and stable development," said Gawain standing on the edge of the deck at his side on the Dawn of the World under the night Amber said, "Fortunately, the situation seems to be good so far: both Typhon and the Silver Empire agree on the tone of 'joint development', and the proposals for medical assistance, food aid and economic boosting should not be too big. problem, then every country in the alliance can recover from the trauma of war as soon as possible and find new opportunities for development in the wasteland of Gondor. As long as the domestic pressure of each country can be released safely, the alliance as a whole will not be in chaos."

"Yes, but only temporarily." Amber put her hands behind her head, leaned against the railing on the edge of the deck, and looked up at the beams of light emitted by the purification device in the distant night sky. However, even if the three major empires can work together to maintain a fair order, and all participating countries can honestly obey the rules, this "development" will sooner or later usher in unfair and unbalanced times, and there will always be countries that feel Others ate an extra bite, and you said it yourself—the cake is not so good."

"It's indeed 'temporary', but it's fine for the time being," Gao Wen laughed, and put his hand on Amber's head, "I said before, the alliance is a group of porcupines huddled together for warmth, and we are not selfless and fair like saints." Embracing the same ideal, but having to choose unity in order to survive the cold winter, you can't expect any cause to never go wrong-find a new way out before the problem gets out of control, and then wait on the new way out New problems, our civilization is slowly groping for them.”

"...That's true." Amber pulled Gao Wen's hand away from his head vigorously, "If the alliance can really keep order forever, then we might not need this 'alliance' from the beginning."

Under the night, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from not far away. Gawain and Amber stopped talking, and at the same time looked towards the direction of the sound - they saw Tyre, who maintained a human form, appear on the deck, and followed Like a corpse, six shadow clones followed behind...

"Good evening!" Tire, who led the six clones, walked up to Gawain. She seemed to be in a very happy mood, and it was rare to be awake at this time, blowing the cool night wind, The "Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Deep Sea" took a deep breath, "The air is really good—it is said that the air quality in this place used to be very poor, and one breath would cause tuberculosis..."

"Speaking as if you have lungs," Gawain's face became a little weird from the moment he saw Tire, and at this moment, he couldn't help but fall on the group of clones with dull faces behind him, "You still Bringing this group of people along... By the way, what do you think, that you split an entire mission for yourself? What's the point of that?"

"Doesn't this look imposing!" Tyr said with a face of course, "Our siren is a powerful country after all, so why not only one representative appearing alone at the alliance meeting for the first time? For those who don't know the inside story When the representatives saw it, they thought that the deep-sea kingdom would not be able to send anyone..."

The corner of Gawain's mouth twitched suddenly, and he thought that she might as well send no one—that siren queen was really big-hearted, and dared to let Tire be the plenipotentiary ambassador, with such a whimsical style of acting, Her casual work in the alliance is enough for the Kraken's propaganda and diplomatic department to give her half a year... By the way, does the Kraken have an external propaganda and diplomatic department?

Thinking of this, Gao Wen asked by the way: "Does your Kraken have external publicity and a foreign ministry?"

Tilton put his hands on his hips and replied confidently: "No."

Gao Wen: "...?"

Even Amber next to her was startled: "Wait a minute, don't you have a diplomatic department at all?! Then your queen temporarily slapped your head and arranged for you to be a plenipotentiary ambassador to represent the deep sea kingdom to join the alliance. ? Don't you think there's something wrong with that?"

"Of course we don't." Unexpectedly, Tyre was more confident than before. "The last time we dealt with land civilizations, we don't even know what happened tens of thousands of years ago. Why do we set up a diplomatic department when we have nothing to do? With the fish in the sea Do you want to chat? But after that, we can set up one, after all, we have joined the alliance now..."

"...Don't you still deal with local water elements?" Gawain looked at the "deep sea kingdom's only diplomat for tens of thousands of years" as if he had seen a ghost, "You still fight wars, and negotiate peace after the war What, the two sides must at least have diplomats to meet..."

"The water element on the opposite side doesn't have any diplomats. Have any of you heard of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the elemental world?"

Till continued to put his hips on his hips as he spoke: "When we deal with them, we usually start from the elemental rift and penetrate all the way to the boundless sea, and then we will understand each other after we fight, and then Gululu will Bring the provocative elemental lords to our queen to admit defeat, and we accept it. Of course, sometimes there will be sea monsters who accidentally cross the peace boundary, or accidentally drink water elements that have signed the peace agreement. At that time, the queen brought people over to confess her mistake..."

Speaking of this, she thought for a while, showing a somewhat confused look: "But I don't know why, every time the elemental lord sees the queen taking the sisters to confess her mistake, she will be very excited, shouting 'Don't come here' while yelling I ran away without a trace..."

Gao Wen: "..."

"Your elemental creatures are really... messy enough." Even Hu Po, who has always been thinking strangely, couldn't help covering his forehead, "But it seems that there is nothing wrong with your explanation... If you want to say it this way, the sea monster really This is the first group of elemental creatures to engage in diplomatic activities with 'ordinary races' in history, is the alliance successfully breaking into the elemental world?"

"It's your 'every time'," Tire laughed. "In our history, sea monsters have dealt with land races a lot, although it was a long, long time ago."

"Those land civilizations that have established diplomatic relations with you..." Gawain subconsciously said, but soon he shook his head, "Forget it, we'd better not discuss this issue."

"Yes, we'd better not discuss this - but if there is a chance in the future, we sea monsters welcome you to visit Antaveen and invite you to visit the ancient relics we have collected in the Abyss Vault, "Tyl smiled and said to Gawain, "You are a very...special human being. Your way of understanding the world doesn't even look like a human being to me, but like some kind...with us or a dragon. Similar to the 'Eternal Life', you may be able to understand some of the things we have experienced."

"Then I'll be looking forward to it," Gawain said with a smile immediately, and then he glanced behind Tyre, and couldn't help being a little curious, "Speaking of which, it's rare to see you maintain a human form for a long time, because Would it be more convenient to maintain a human form during the meeting and communicate with the representatives of various countries?"

"No," Till casually pointed to the six shadow clones behind him as he spoke, "Didn't I just cut off the tail and make six of them..."

Gao Wen: "...is it possible to do this?!"

"Actually, it's not enough to just cut off the tail. I also got some water from the nearby clouds," Till explained seriously, "The reason why we need to use the water from the main body is to facilitate the manipulation of these split bodies. And the amount of water in the main body is not enough, so we need to draw water from the surrounding environment—our sea monsters have always been a very reasonable race..."

Gao Wen: "..."

He suddenly felt that he couldn't look directly at the word "reasonable".

But fortunately, this increasingly strange topic did not continue. When Tire was about to continue explaining to Gawain and Amber what is called "rationality in the Siren's world view", a pleasant buzzing sound came suddenly In their ears, an "interactive device" placed on the edge of the deck flashed rhythmically.

Gawain looked at the silver-white metal cylinder, and he saw the projection crystal on the top of the cylinder rising from the groove, and the voice of the mastermind came to his ears: "A communication request has been received from the underground fortress of the Deep Blue Well—— Philia Norton wishes to speak with you."

Gao Wen subconsciously rubbed the space between his brows—it seemed like a busy day today.

But in any case, chatting with that Gondor princess should be easier than discussing "rationality in the world view" with a siren, right?

"Connect."
