People in Terra, governing a bizarre little country

"Come, child, tell me what you wish to foresee, and let me see your future!"

"Me, me, me, me"

"Don't be nervous, child, take your time."

“I want to see, I want to see my future!” Neve stammered.

[Eyes] A slight smile:

"The future, oh the future, what a vast word! The transformation of insects from their cocoons, the hatching of winged beasts—to embrace the future is to embrace change! In that case, let me tell you where your opportunity for change lies."

The vertical eye on his forehead opened slightly, emitting a pale blue light. If Ernst were here, he would surely recognize that this was the scene that Elki had prophesied for Ernst and the shapeshifters.

Yes, facing this rare pure-blooded Heartbreaker, the Eye of the Three truly wanted to witness her fate firsthand.

Although it's bound to be a tragedy, it doesn't matter; he's already prepared his explanation.

When the time comes, just suggest she join Sherag.

Anyway, the message Elki sent back said that the Prime Minister of Sherag, Lord [The Unpredictable Stage of Fate], has a unique fondness for Sarkaz. His royal court has a complete range of races, guaranteed in quality, and is constantly increasing. Presumably, he would not refuse the addition of a Heartbreaker.

What? We have to take prophecies seriously?

It's alright. Rules are made by people, and a white lie isn't considered deception. This child—foresight reveals her name—Nive, is still just a little girl. This is for her protection, it's alright.

So, let me see what you can do.

The air was somewhat quiet, and [Eye] unconsciously furrowed his brow, a few beads of sweat gradually appearing on his forehead.

The surrounding temperature began to drop, and eerie noises and unidentified phantoms, accompanied by a biting cold wind, began to appear around the [Eye]. The Sarkaz gathered around the Cyclops camp began to feel short of breath, their vision seemed to be distorted, and they heard terrifying whispers in their ears!

The cyclops around immediately noticed the high priest's unusual behavior and gathered around. Just as they were about to awaken [Eye], the anomaly vanished instantly, and [Eye] abruptly opened its eyes, looking at Neve in front of it.

Neve's face was also pale; she was closest to the [Eye] and was therefore most affected. She had collapsed to the ground. Her companion, a Sarkaz boy about her age, was also lying motionless on the ground.

This is the magical pressure emanating from the Lord of the Royal Court. Even though the Cyclops is not skilled in combat, as a frontline warrior resisting demons on the endless ice plains, the Lord of the Royal Court is, after all, the Lord of the Royal Court!

"High Priest, what's wrong?"

The Cyclops asked a question.

[Eye] Instead of answering immediately, he bent down, squatted down, and helped Neve, who had fallen to the ground, up. His eyes were filled with complex emotions.

"Young lady, I'm sorry."

He said softly,

"Foresight revealed everything to me. You are a mighty warrior, the most legendary historian I have ever known."

His words trailed off, then he shook his head, not uttering the words, "The history you recount will drag you into an abyss; you will die alone as a stranger outside the most glorious, most familiar, yet most unfamiliar city." Instead, he smiled with relief.

"Go to Shelag."

Neve walked out of the Cyclops camp in a daze. Per had already stood up and was leaning against a wooden pillar to make himself look less disheveled.

He glanced in the direction of the camp with lingering fear, then sighed:

"So this is the ruler of the royal court? How amazing!"

"Niff, are you alright? How are you feeling?"

He pulled Neve back from crashing into the pillar and asked curiously:

What was the outcome of the prophecy?

“Uh…” Neve snapped out of her daze, paused for a moment, and nodded. “Is he alright? He asked me to go to Shelag.”

But what does "historian" mean? It sounds so scholarly! And a warrior? Would she really go to the battlefield?

Don't understand it at all.

But overall, the outcome seems to be good.

She rallied her spirits and said firmly:

"Let's give it a try, let's get into Sherag!"

Pearl's eyes lit up, and she followed behind Neve, watching her retreating figure as she walked towards the checkpoint, cheering loudly:

"Well done, little Neve! Keep it up! You've been recognized by the Cyclops High Priest, so don't embarrass yourself!"

“Okay!” Neve also raised her hand with her back turned and responded loudly.

Ten minutes later, Neve received the assessment results.

[Thank you for your participation, Ms. Neve. Unfortunately, after a ten-minute evaluation period, you have been deemed unqualified by Deputy Examiner Ines and are officially rejected from entering Sherag today.]

[You can resubmit your assessment application after Examiner Hedley wakes up tomorrow. Keep up the good work!]

[Examiner's Comments: Next time, don't try to intimidate the examiner in the exam room! Even if you scare the examiner into fainting, you still won't pass! —Deputy Examiner Ines]

P.S.: This chapter is 5000 words long, a small celebration of the book reaching 200 million words. Thank you all for your support and love; without you, this book wouldn't have reached this length. Thank you so much!

Chapter 589 Snow Leopards Have Three Ways to Die

Shelag, Tukarim, Shelag Government Office Building.

Today is the fourth day of the World Summit, and the main agenda items are the final vote on the agendas proposed by various countries, and the ceremony of the first World Summit plenary session.

However, Ernst did not attend; instead, Pope Ivangelista XI of Lateran presided over the event.

The Summit of Nations is a summit of all nations in Terra, only the location is in Sherag. Moreover, the Summit of Nations was not an idea of ​​Ernst alone; Laterano also had a deep involvement and made outstanding contributions.

Admittedly, Ernst is currently enjoying unparalleled prominence in Terra, but Sherag has only been around for a little over a year or two, and his foundation is still insufficient. Lateran, as a co-founding nation, is there to fill this gap in his foundation.

Ernst secured an opportunity for the Sarkaz to establish a state, which was not necessarily a good thing for Lateran, whose main ethnic group was the Sakota. Although King Ivangelista XI expressed his acquiescence to Ernst's proposal by abstaining, Ernst did come with conditions.

At the World Summit, the Sarkaz gained the power to establish their own nation. Victoria, Flame, Colombia, Ursus, and Letania became members of the World Summit's Security Council, key figures in Terra's future order, and acquired the powerful technology, the [Gravity Contempt Mechanism]. Ordinary small nations, organizations, and forces had opportunities to exchange ideas and cooperate during the summit. As the initiator, Sherag solidified his position, gaining prestige, security, substantial foreign exchange, and future development opportunities. Even the land itself benefited from "stability."

It's impossible that after all that hard work, Lateran only managed to gain the title of a co-initiator and a little bit of insignificant prestige, while giving all the other benefits to others, right?

Let alone whether Ivangelist XI would agree or not, Ernst would be the first to object.

If the distribution of benefits is not handled properly, morale will collapse, and once morale is low, the team will be difficult to lead.

Laterano has a strong foundation, and King Evangelista XI has treated both himself and Kjerag well. Although there are some secrets that cannot be told to outsiders, as the leader of Laterano, King Evangelista XI did not choose a zero-sum game approach to suppress or even sanction Kjerag when Kjerag could become his direct competitor. Instead, he accepted Kjerag's rise, sacrificing his own interests in exchange for a win-win situation for Terra. This is enough to show his magnanimity.

Anyone can say nice things or bad things, and anyone can make grand promises, but actions, decisions, and the help provided don't lie. Colonel Sanders is indeed one of those people who want to make this land a better place, and for Ernst and Sherag, he and Rutland are indeed partners worth cooperating with.

Ernst was unsure what Evangelista XI might need given Lateran's idyllic, paradise-like lifestyle, but Ernst had to guarantee that, as long as it didn't exceed the limits he could provide and didn't violate the spirit of the Universal Summit, Lateran could obtain sufficiently large benefits within the framework of the Universal Summit.

This is why, on the fourth day of voting and decision-making, Ernst ceded power to Ivangelista XI.

He certainly wasn't worried that Pope Lateran would do anything outrageous at the Summit of Nations; the establishment of the Summit of Nations was originally the Pope's own wish. Since that was the case, rather than continuing to grind reputation that was already almost overflowing, it was better to let him go and develop in a more balanced way.

Besides, didn't Ivan Zhongqun: Qi: Jilista XI also have something he wanted to vote on?

International Bank, International Trade Organization, International Heritage Administration, and similar organizations.

Ernst's work in the past few days has convinced most of the participating countries that the World Summit is an international organization that can get things done. However, this international organization is still just a shell; there is still much to be filled in. It will not only involve the political level, but also military, social, cultural, economic, and all aspects until it truly grasps the general trend of this land. This is its final form.

As for the contents of these internal fillings, how many King Ivangelista XI can accomplish at this summit remains to be seen.

As for what Ernst is going to do today, it's very simple—to approve the number of representatives from all sides to speak in turn starting tomorrow, to deal with the affairs that have accumulated in Sherag over the past few days, and to review the preparations for the second Star-Picking Project that is about to begin.

And, to deal with some emergencies, such as to offer condolences to Hedre, the head of the Shelagsakaz residents' committee.

Ernst poured himself a cup of tea and placed it in front of Hedley. He drank coffee himself.

Hedley picked up his teacup and took a small sip. Ernst seized the opportunity to ask:

"I heard you were so busy yesterday you almost fainted, is that true?"

"Cough... cough cough cough"

Hedley choked twice, coughed violently a few times, put down his teacup, and looked at her with a hint of resentment in his eyes.

You really know how to bring up a sore spot, especially when I'm drinking water. You weren't doing it on purpose, were you?

Of course, he would only keep these thoughts to himself. Prime Minister Ernst had always treated him like his own son—cough, I mean, with immense kindness. How could he be so scheming? Right?

He waved his hand, shaking his head somewhat awkwardly in denial:

"No, no, that's not true."

Ernst concealed the smile at the corner of his mouth, leaning back on the sofa as if he had breathed a sigh of relief: ·6)

"That's good. I was quite shocked when I heard Ines's report yesterday. Work needs to be done in moderation. Although the Sarkaz are physically stronger than Felin, they can't handle too much hard work, right?"

"I don't want to see you collapse at your post. Whether it's Sherag or Sarkaz, there are still many places where they need you. You need to take good care of your health."

Hedley nodded, moved.

"Thank you for your concern, Lord Ernst. I will definitely pay attention to this in the future and get more rest."

"Well, I sometimes wonder if the burden on your shoulders is too heavy. You see, the other members of the residents' committee don't do much work on a regular basis. Now that Professor Fremont is here, how about I talk to her and ask Emengard to pause her biological observation project on Safar to help you share the burden?"

Ernst said thoughtfully, but the next second, the coffee table in front of him suddenly shook.

"No, no, no, that's not necessary!"

Hedley sat bolt upright, his hands gripping the coffee table, leaning forward and shaking his head frantically.

"I'm not tired, not at all."

"Aren't you tired?" Ernst asked.

“I’m not tired at all,” Hedley shook his head.

"How about taking a vacation?" Ernst asked again.

"No, no, please, please don't give me a holiday!" Hedley said hurriedly.

Ernst smiled slightly:

"Then tell me in detail, what exactly did you see yesterday?"

"There's quite a commotion in the refugee camp. There are some things you don't need to hide from me."

Hedley opened his mouth, then fell silent.

What happened in the refugee camp, of course, could not be kept from Ernst. Ernst had informants there long ago.

Well, Yeragand's eye can be considered an eye, right?

If a large group of notorious and dangerous individuals suddenly gathers outside your house in Terra, wouldn't you be completely unprepared?

Ernst left these Sarkaz there to serve as a warning to the nations of Terra. Although he didn't expect these anthropomorphic creatures to evoke much sympathy for the Sarkaz refugees, he still needed to exert moral pressure. This didn't mean, however, that Ernst completely trusted the Sarkaz.

Why has Jeragund been so quiet lately? Even for something as big as the World Summit, he didn't even show up with a special effect to help? This is completely out of character for him, who loves to get involved in things.

The reason is simple: Ernst asked Him to keep a close eye on the situation around Shelag, including the Sarkaz outside of Shelag.

Once the World Summit is held and the Sarkaz state-building bill is passed, whose interests will be most affected?

Needless to say, they are definitely Sarkaz extremists from Lentinium.

Ernst was constantly on guard against Theresis's group sending people to sabotage the World Summit, and he was also worried that these people might be hiding among the refugees outside Sherag.

Let's hope that our show doesn't turn out to be a ticking time bomb.

Therefore, he was actually informed of what happened in the refugee camp yesterday immediately.

The High Priest of the Sarkaz Cyclops Royal Court, known as "Eye," performed a "foresight" on a young girl with wine-red hair, who appeared to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, or perhaps one hundred and fifty or sixty. In the prophecy, she seemed to see something and even released the aura of the Royal Court's ruler.

Jeragand reacted immediately; the sudden drop in temperature and the biting wind that arose when she cast the spell around the Eye were signs that Jeragand was about to make her move.

If anything unexpected happens, He will freeze the scene immediately.

Fortunately, the [Eye] did not go out of control, and the spell did not cause any damage.

[Eye] simply said, "Go to Sherag," and then let the Sarkaz girl leave the Cyclops' camp.

Ernst and the Cyclops are currently in a cooperative relationship, but Ernst doesn't completely trust these Sarkaz from Sami, as he always leaves room for maneuver. After all, although he had explained things clearly once, Ernst still remembered Elki's act of putting "Rootless Grass" in an envelope to test him.

"Most Sarkaz are dangerous, and the Royal Court is the most dangerous part of them. Some fanatical Royal Courts will stop at nothing to achieve their goals." This was Kal'tsit's advice. It was one of the few truly practical and insightful pieces of her teaching.

After leaving, the young girl went straight to the immigration office.

Then, the incident of Hedley fainting occurred.

Ernst had no choice but to be careful.

He certainly trusted Hedley; the two had worked together for so long, Ernst had no reason to doubt him.

However, there are indeed some Sarkaz who use strange methods.

Therefore, Ernst took the initiative to find Hedley today in the hope of learning from him what the little girl did yesterday, what Hedley saw, and why he suddenly fainted.
