After the divination ceremony in Fata, reporters from various kingdoms and regions broadcasted the content at the fastest speed.
In an instant, the latest information about the Demon Lord spread across the Aireland Continent like ripples caused by raindrops on a lake. Google seaʀᴄh 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚑𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥
Within each kingdom, first the royal capital and major cities received the news, and then through the broadcast crystals of the royal capital, the news of the Demon Lord spread to every town and village.
This time, the information about the Demon Lord published through the Divination Art had many aspects worth discussing. After the ceremony ended, different places and different factions began relevant meetings and discussions.
The City Lord’s Mansion in Saint Karno City.
Seven Great Mages descended from the carriage and slowly entered the mansion.
Passing through the luxurious hall, they arrived at the conference hall in the back.
Inside the conference hall, many people had been waiting for some time.
The entire conference hall was in a Western style, with bright lighting, sumptuous decorations, and luxurious crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. Around were transparent display cabinets filled with crafts from various kingdoms and regions.
There were four long conference tables arranged in a rectangle, and in the center, there was a finely crafted round conference table.
As one of the most important meeting venues in Saint Karno City, only significant meetings are usually held here, and only influential figures participate.
Today, the participants in this important meeting not only included the City Lord of Saint Karno City and the principal of Saint Karno School, but also ambassadors from various kingdoms currently in Saint Karno City, and key representatives from various organizations, such as the vice president of the Adventurer’s Guild and the head of the Mercenary Guild.
Looking around, one could even see the ambassador from the Elf Race Embassy and the ambassador from the Goblin Race Embassy.
Everyone with a certain influence on the Aireland Continent appeared at this meeting.
The seven Great Mages took their seats at the center round conference table, and the rest took their seats at the long conference tables.
The meeting officially commenced.
Presiding over the meeting was a tall, handsome man with short black hair, dressed in a suit, who was the City Lord of Saint Karno.
"The reasons for calling everyone here for a short gathering are not too complicated; on one hand, a small meeting here after the divination ceremony has become traditional. On the other hand, this time’s divination content provided substantial information, and since the seven Great Mages are available, I invited them to explain some of the deeper meanings to us."
The City Lord’s gaze fell upon the seven Great Mages.
The seven Great Mages exchanged glances.
The first to speak was Great Mage Slo, who reassured everyone’s emotions.
"This is just a very routine divination technique; there is not much to worry about. The Demon King’s Power does not disappear with the death of the previous Demon Lord; the rebirth and development of a new Demon Lord on the continent is inevitable."
"From the current situation, the development of this Demon Lord is still in a normal state. There is no need to overhype the theory of early development to avoid unnecessary panic."
Next to speak was Great Mage Sel.
"Then let me ask, how long until the next divination ceremony?"
A kingdom’s ambassador asked.
"If there are no surprises, it will take about six months."
Weasley stroked his beard and slowly said.
At this moment, the City Lord of Saint Karno, who was presiding over the meeting, spoke.
"Now, the wounds left by the previous Demon Lord on the continent have not yet healed. We have finally come to peace, and everyone wants to settle down and live well. If there is now large-scale warfare against the Demon Lord, no one wants to see it."
"Moreover, the Demon Lord will not disappear; even if the current Demon Lord dies, there will be a next one. Destroy the next Demon Lord, and there will be another one after that."
"Therefore, the most important current goal is to find a way to eradicate the Demon King’s Power, rather than the already existing seventy-second Demon Lord."
"The topic of eradicating the Demon King’s Power is something we at Fata are researching vigorously, but it is not an easy matter."
"That’s right, I think there is no need to annihilate the Demon Lord for the time being, just constantly weaken his forces and keep him under our control."
At this moment, an ambassador from a western kingdom spoke, gaining the agreement of many kingdoms.
"Then we can first capture the Demon Lord and imprison him in a secret chamber, directly controlling his life and death, and then slowly study the Demon King’s Power."
A representative from a scholars’ guild raised his hand to speak.
The whole audience fell silent.
"Is a representative from the Animal Protection Association present? Please say a few words."
The City Lord said slowly.
A slightly conspicuous woman, unable to get into the meeting table and holding a banner reading [The life of animals is life too; stop the slaughter of animals!], seized the opportunity to speak.
"Although the Demon Lord is not an animal, isn’t the life of the Demon Lord life too? If we imprison the Demon Lord, making him live a life worse than animals, then the so-called freedom in Aireland Continent no longer exists! Also, I want to mention the recent funding for the Animal Protection Association..."
The scholars’ guild was defeated by the Animal Protection Association.
The slightly diverted meeting rhythm returned to the main topic.
"Alright, alright. Let’s first discuss the current issues."
The City Lord waved his hand.
"The Adventurer’s Guild here will likely receive multiple emergency reports from villagers or small towns being invaded by monsters. We’ll issue necessary commissions to have adventurer teams and mercenary groups investigate the current distribution of monster tribes. When we really need to launch a war, the monster tribes will be within our grasp."
