217. Banquet(1/2)

Qin Lan raised her hand and pushed open the wooden door of the bedroom.

At first glance, the scene behind the door almost looks like a gorgeous banquet hall from the medieval times. However, after careful examination, you can see the traces of modernization. This banquet hall is just a beautiful imagination of the life of ancient nobles.

Hong Yuan was standing next to the main seat.

Although his chair is no different from others, the seating position has shown his importance in this meeting, not only that, the place was arranged by him, and what that means.

Most of the abilities present did not pay attention to or care about this. Only a few abilities felt a little subtle about this, but they did not think deeply about it. This actually seems to be a very normal behavior.

After all, this was arranged by him.

But Ma En, who followed Qin Lan, thought it was not that simple. Hong Yuan was probably lying in Shen Xiao's prophecy. Combined with his "subconscious" behavior of putting himself in the position of the main position without realizing it, it is hard not to remind people of anything.

The moment Qin Lan pushed the door and walked in, Hong Yuan looked over, then looked at the three people behind her, and finally looked at Qin Lan again, nodding slightly to her, then turned around and said a few words to the two people standing beside him.

Then everyone who stood at the banquet table and waited looked at her.

Expectation, surprise, doubt, curiosity, doubt, surprise, and various complex emotions were turned to Qin Lan with their eyes, and then Hong Yuan walked towards him with the old woman standing beside him and the middle-aged man Nathan.

Although the other members of the Savior League did not come here, they still kept her in their own vision.

Qin Lan shouted to the old woman following Hong Yuan with some excitement:

"Grandma Li!"

"Xiao Lan." The old woman quickly walked up and looked at Qin Lan with a worried and surprised face, "It's fine, it's fine..."

Qin Lan said sideways to the three people following behind him:

"This is Grandma Li, my grandfather's friend. When she was a child, she often came to play with me and my sister."

Grandma Li looked at the people along her gaze, and finally her eyes stopped on Ma En:

"Thank you for your care for Xiao Lan during this period."

After saying this, she looked at Qin Lan again and said:

"Do you have any thoughts on this matter with us?"

Hong Yuan and another middle-aged man who were standing beside her also raised their spirits.

Qin Lan nodded slightly to her:

"I do want to say something that is related to our colleagues in the whole Federation and cannot draw conclusions so simply."

Nathan cleared his throat and said:

"Hong Yuan said he got your sister's prophecy, but I was still a little worried about it that it was a trap of the Federation, after all...

"They have proved that they have a way to hide it from Shenxiao."

Hong Yuan smiled and looked at the middle-aged man with a serious expression:

“But the purpose of the Federation is to let us enter into an agreement with them, and if I have not received prophecy, they may have already made us agree to dissolve the Savior League.

“Isn’t it?”

Nathan said:

"Maybe this is a conspiracy of other forces, and maybe this is the result that the Federation wants. They now have an oracle. If you pay attention, you will realize that Shen Xiao's behavior sometimes is not as simple as it seems."

Qin Lan was a little surprised by his observation.

Nathan said the truth, but not everyone can notice it.

Because although Shen Xiao’s best practice may be meaningful, after the age of ten, she will use the performance that ordinary people can understand to conceal her true purpose and simplify all kinds of complexities in the eyes of others.

The situation is also very obvious now. Even if there is a prophecy, Nathan still wants to fight the federal war. He is expressing his attitude to Qin Lan, hoping to win her over to accept her ideas.

Li Xiuyu, who was firmly standing on the same front as him, was a little shaken after learning about the existence of the prophecy. Others who were already swaying had completely accepted Hong Yuan's view, and only he was still standing opposite Hong Yuan.

He actually understood the old man's transformation very well.

Nathan met her a few years ago. Although some old men showed more desire for life in their later years, Li Xiuyu had long been open-minded about the death she was destined to come, and she was not afraid to leave this world.

So at that time she followed the girl she watched as the grown-up joined the Savior League.

They talked privately, and Nathan knew that she did this was largely due to her feelings and kindness towards the two girls, but in addition to that, she must have her own selfishness like other ordinary people.

She can accept her death, but she wants to make the world remember herself. If she can choose her own way of death, she is willing to sacrifice her life for ideals and beauty.

Because in a sense, that is also alive.

If Hong Yuan could let her see hope for victory at this meeting, the old man would no longer consider the possibility of a federal ceasefire.

But Nathan didn't think it was the right decision. As they said last time, it would be related to the life and death of all members of the Federation's Salvation Alliance. If they make the wrong decision, many people will miss the opportunity to be saved.

And he no longer wants to continue fighting.

Nathan also has children and family, but now they can only escape with him everywhere, and he doesn't like it or are good at fighting. He can clearly see that he has no way to die if he goes on like this.

If his bottom line is at a low point, he can at least sell out the Savior League.

But he couldn't do such a thing.

Nathan himself is the kind of person he mentioned at the meeting. He joined the Savior League just because he wanted to do some kindness, but he didn't consider losing his life for it. Even his death could not allow the Savior League to see any chance of winning.

If he could convince Qin Lan, he could use her relationship with Li Xiuyu to bring her back to his side, so that there would be room for detours in this matter.

"What is facing us now is that the armistice is the purpose of the Federation." Hong Yuan argued with reason, "and Shenxiao's prophecy does not allow us to sign an armistice agreement with them. What do you think these represent? Should we be as the Federation wishes?

"I understand your concerns, but I'll talk about this after you finish reading Shenxiao's new prophecy."

As he said that, he pointed to the long table:

"Let's sit and chat."

Several people turned around and walked over, and the other members of the Savior League present also sat down one after another. They tacitly left the position opposite Hong Yuan to Qin Lan, and Ma En sat next to her.

After everyone sat down, Hong Yuan looked at them and said:

“There are twenty-nine people here in total.”

This is not a small number.

Because except Qin Lan, the ones present were all Level IV abilities.

This number of Level IV abilities can already be regarded as a very fearful force.

Moreover, only five of the members of the Savior League present joined the Coordination Bureau in the past, and most of the others were not affiliated with large organizations. If the personnel who had been lost and were not present were included, it also means that Shen Xiao once had a considerable force independent of the Federation.

Nathan continued:

"But in front of the V-level abilities, unless there is something that can convert quantity into mass, such as a ritual to summon demons, or an ancient wizard formation, no one will make sense for many people."

They did not play any decisive role in the battle between Shenxiao and the Federation, and they were also in the pursuit of the Federation today.

Of course they can not be caught. After all, the Federation's Level IV ability players are not omnipotent. But after all, it seems that they have no chance of resistance to win. It seems that they are caught by all members of the Federation.

"I know you don't see any chance." Hong Yuan said to them, "The investigation department responsible for pursuing our Investigation Department is tied by three rank V-level abilities of the Federation. If we only count our combat power on the surface, we are doomed to lose.

“But I want to tell you that our meaning is far more than that.

"Even hundreds of Level IV abilities cannot achieve a decisive influence in the confrontation with the Federal Investigation Department, but it is enough to only use dozens of Level IV members of the Savior League.

"Because we are not only ourselves, but also the source of Shenxiao's power, I don't know the meaning of the words "The Twisted Reality" among the people present, but I want to tell you that trapping Shenxiao is not a simple thing for the Federation.

"This is a confrontation with Shenxiao's reality, and our existence will strengthen Shenxiao's power, which means that if the Savior League is disbanded, it will be easier for him to control Shenxiao than before.

"And this will lead them to gain the upper hand in the confrontation with Shenxiao, which is the purpose of the Federation's attempt to disband me."

A Yugoslavia woman spoke:

"Hong Yuan is right about this. Whether our disbandment or not is indeed related to Shenxiao's fate."

Nathan said:

"The Federation proves that Qin Luan has agreed to this matter, and someone should have heard her mention that if the Shenxiao Walker disagreed, it would be useless for us to dissolve the Savior League.

"and……

"No matter whether the Federation has committed fraud or not, I think you should know what kind of decision Shen Xiao will make in this situation. If the Federation's price is the security of the All Saving Alliance, then I think she will definitely agree.

"The Federation and want to truce because they don't want to drag it out, not because we can win."

Hong Yuan had long anticipated what he would say:

"Yes, Shen Xiao agreed to disband the Savior League, but you have to think about it carefully. She is now imprisoned in the federal anti-reality prison...

“She has no way to see the future!

"Shenxiao's decision is not necessarily as correct as in the past."

This offensive sentence made everyone feel a little unhappy, but it was as if Hong Yuan's words were magical, and no one expressed any opinions on this.

Because of the facts he said, and...

His words do carry "magic".

Hong Yuan took the lead in speaking before Nathan thought clearly about how to refute him:

"As I said when I came to you, Shenxiao actually had other prophecies.

"And I didn't tell you that there was a reason. In fact, you saw that it was not the first prophecy at that time. The text in that letter would continue to change as the previous prophecy was achieved."
To be continued...
