Chapter 756 Parliament
More and more familiar figures appeared in the conference hall. These people were all the Thought Bodies. After coming in, they first greeted the familiar people, and then sat down one after another, and soon sat in a circle of chairs in the east, west, south and north.
This large circular table has a main seat in each of the four directions: east, west, south and north, which are the exclusive seats for the four emperors; the chairs on the left and right sides of the emperor belong to the three deputies, one on the left and two on the right. If the number of deputies is insufficient, the seats will be left empty and no one will sit on them; further out are other officials. The officials do not have fixed seats, but it is assumed that those who belong to the same empire will sit on the same side, so the emperor of each empire will consciously control the number of officials attending.
An hour later, the meeting officially began.
Since the establishment of the "Grand Council of Aslant", a total of three meetings have been held.
One is the routine meeting at the beginning of the month, held on the 1st of each month, and all emperors, deputies, and officials must attend; the second is the emergency meeting, which is only held when it is extremely urgent, and everyone needs to attend; the last type is the group meeting, which only special groups need to attend.
For example, Ishgar and Arakitasia are going to hold an event to select elite wizards , and the two emperors have handed the matter over to their respective chief officials. If the chief officials want to hold a meeting to discuss related matters, only the person in charge needs to attend, and others do not need to.
Of course, similar small group meetings do not need to be held in such a formal conference hall.
"Is this a world-class conference? Those who came here are indeed some big shots..."
Germain, the president of the magic guild 'Saberbite Tiger', who had just become the chief officer, looked at the people sitting in the conference room with a hint of eagerness to fight in his eyes.
He once yearned to be the strongest, and now the strongest people in the world are here, how can he not be excited?
Germain wore a black hat, white hair and eyebrows, a big white beard, a string of red Buddhist beads around his neck, a monk's robe with a slanted top, and yellow pants with black stripes. If you look at his age alone, he is already a middle-aged uncle in his forties or fifties, but he has full muscles and a strong physique, and he can fully bear the word "old but strong".
Under the effect of 'Nirvana', Germain's personality was also reversed, so he changed his original crazy pursuit of the strongest obsession, and replaced it with a moderate and relaxed bellicosity.
After just one look, Germain suppressed the fighting spirit that was rising up in his mind unconsciously and sat quietly in his seat, like an old monk in meditation.
The four emperors didn't even glance at the new official. Their minds were focused on today's agenda which had been decided long ago.
Today's topic mainly revolves around a dark organization in the Southern Empire. This organization is well-known to everyone present. It is a magic guild that has had a great influence on the empire since a long time ago, Fairy Tail.
As a magic empire under unified management, all wizards must register with their real names, and ordinary people who want to learn magic must also go to a magic academy.
After learning magic, wizards need to join the army and become a member of the Imperial Magic Corps. This status is equivalent to a qualification certificate for using magic. Once they cause losses to others, the Empire will protect them, mediate between the two parties, and compensate them.
Wizards who do not join the Imperial Magic Army will be regarded as wandering wizards. Their use of magic is "illegal" but not a crime. If they cause losses to others, no one will compensate, protect or mediate. The victims can also ask the magic army to issue a wanted warrant for these wandering wizards.
In other words, the magic army is equivalent to a special execution force and also serves as warriors.
After the special power of magic was returned to the Empire, the existence of guilds was no longer allowed, and Fairy Tail was never disbanded, so it naturally became a terrorist organization like the dark guilds.
“On May 3, the Sidwell train station was attacked, causing 33 serious injuries, 127 minor injuries, two trains were completely destroyed, and one train was damaged by one-third!”
"On May 17, seven streets in Kuimuer Town were destroyed, causing property losses of more than 20 million J to the citizens!"
"On May 22, they kidnapped the mayor of Sokos and half of the people in the town and dragged them into a fantasy world to play with traps and mazes for a full half month!"
"On June 2, a riot broke out at the Spider Cinema, causing panic and 34 injuries, with 6 people suffering from mental illness!"
"On June 5, the stone statue built for His Majesty the Emperor in the town of Sgaard was smashed, causing the craftsmen's three months of work to go to waste!"
"June 7th..."
“…”
One thing after another pushed Fairy Tail in front of Zeref, the current emperor of the Southern Empire.
Thirty minutes later...
"The above is all the terrorist actions of Fairy Tail in the Southern Empire in the past two months! I think this organization has grown to the point where we have to deal with it. Please approve it, Your Majesty!"
After Inbel finished speaking, the atmosphere in the conference hall fell into a dead silence.
Bang!
I don't know whose sleepiness burst, and there was movement in the conference room again.
"I can't believe that a magic guild can do this..."
"I can't believe he could talk for a full thirty minutes without stopping to drink water..."
"I can't believe that one day I can sleep in a place like this..."
Amidst the cries of "I can't believe it", Inbel calmly put down the documents in his hand, adjusted his glasses, picked up the water cup beside him and took a sip.
The sweet rain moistens the throat and makes the whole body feel comfortable!!
Fairy Tail has been active in the Southern Empire all along. As the most powerful governor in the Southern Empire after Emperor Zeref, Inbell is responsible for handling almost all unrest in the empire, so he is well aware of all the activities of this guild.
Not to mention talking for thirty minutes at a stretch, even another thirty minutes would be no problem.
When Inber mentioned the name of 'Fairy Tail', everyone present was shocked. Before the world turned upside down, the name of this guild was well-known in the magic world.
Needless to say, in Ishgar, even ordinary residents know about this continent's number one magic guild; and looking at the other three continents, apart from this guild, there is basically no other guild whose reputation can be spread there.
This is the weight of the number one guild on the continent!
But now, the weight seems a little too heavy.
"Fairy Tail... It's such a headache!"
Even though he already knew the news, Zeref still felt a huge headache . Not only because the evil Fairy Tail was several times stronger than before and had become a cancer that could not be removed from the empire, but also because Zeref and others knew that they were not like this in their original intentions, but because Nirvana had reversed their personalities.
The more they understood this, the harder it was for them to be ruthless and take strong measures against them - yes, these villains whose personalities had been reversed had now become as indecisive as the common 'decent people'.
"I remember their current president is the boy named Kira, right?"
The old man sitting in the middle of the east side asked in a deep voice.
He is the current emperor of the East Continent of this world, and the former president of the "Devil's Heart", Preshito.
Preshito had never seen Kira before the incident, but he had heard of his story and knew that he was the most outstanding rookie wizard in the former Kingdom of Fiore.
"What a pity..." Preshito sighed in his heart.
If there hadn't been this incident, this boy named Kira would have been able to lead Fairy Tail to greater glory...
Even though it is like this now, being the enemy of the entire empire is still quite glorious.
"Kira was indeed an excellent wizard, and I am deeply sorry about what happened to him. However, during this period of time, Fairy Tail's actions were not limited to the Southern Empire. There were also traces of his and his men's activities in the Eastern Continent. The losses we suffered were no less than those of the Southern Empire!"
"Such actions have already posed a threat to the stability of the Eastern Empire. Even though it is regrettable, we cannot just stand by and watch!" Jellal, one of the three deputies of the Eastern Empire, said in a deep voice, pretending to be thinking like Sasuke.
As soon as these words were spoken, people from the East and South Empires all looked at him sideways, and those officials who were originally drowsy due to boredom instantly perked up.
Although the structure of four empires on four continents had just been formed, the basic agreement was signed by everyone. Gerard's words had already touched upon one of the sensitive agreements, which was the transnational handling of criminals. This was also the first time they had encountered such a situation.
"Could this kid be trying to interfere in the political affairs of our empire?" This thought suddenly occurred to all the officials of the Southern Empire, and their faces suddenly turned ugly.
Facts have proved that no matter whether one is a man or a woman, young or old, a scholar, a homebody, a lesbian, a person with middle school syndrome or anything else, once one has been exposed to government affairs for a long time, he or she will become a standard politician.
For a moment, several officials began brainstorming.
In the next 120 minutes, there was a heated debate on this issue. The two sides of the debate were the chief officials of the Southern Empire represented by Inbel, who insisted that the criminals in their own country should be dealt with by themselves; and the chief officials of the Eastern Empire headed by Gerard, who believed that the bad deeds of these criminals had affected the stability of the Eastern Empire and they needed to intervene to regulate.
However, halfway through the argument, everyone gradually realized that something was wrong, and the source of the problem was Gerard's attitude. He was too persistent in this matter!
After thinking it over, everyone finally understood: all the international issues were fake. The real reason why Jellal interfered in the chaos of Fairy Tail was that there was someone in the Fairy Tail that he wanted to protect!
Using public power for personal gain, bah!
We in the Southern Empire despise this kind of love-brained person the most!
When this idea came to the minds of Inbel and others, they subconsciously ignored the fact that they were originally from the Western Continent, and Jellal was the true native inhabitant of Ishgar.
Until the end of the meeting, Jellal did not give up the right to intervene in Ishgar's handling of "Fairy Tail", because after seeing through this guy's little thoughts, those Eastern Empire officials who originally supported him fell silent, just watching the show, quietly watching this clown fight against the crowd.
"I can't believe that such an emotional person was once your apprentice?!"
One of the three deputies of the Eastern Empire, Pluto Maldor, was looking at another deputy of the empire, Brian, with a mocking look.
"He's an outcast!" Brian cut off ties with Gerard without hesitation.
Who could have imagined that they, who once dominated Ishgar and were known as the Iron Triangle of the Balam Alliance, would now be driven to the East Continent and unable to even return home?
Maldo was the most unconvinced!
In terms of identity, he is a noble devil, while Preshito is just a human; in terms of status, they are both presidents, and the foundation of "Gate of Hades" is far superior to "Heart of the Devil"; in terms of strength, he is stronger than Preshito; in terms of backing, he has the emperor master Zeref...
No matter from which aspect , my resume should be better than Preshito's!
