Infinite Mage - Chapter 1108
Rules of the Temple (5)
‘What on earth are we going to do?’
When Satan revealed his fierceness, the guards of each country took out their weapons.
‘If you get caught with vanishing, it’s the end. Should I cut it before that?’
If you hit someone’s head just to kill yourself, there will be talk later, but if the target was Havitz, it was a different story.
“Hmm.”
At that moment, Habitz’s fierceness disappeared and he calmly walked towards Wuorin.
“It’ll be fun.”
Fortunately, there was no commotion, but those who watched felt rather eerie.
‘Suppressing present desires for later pleasure.’
It was extreme.
After a while, Paras Moon Gustav entered the main office in the order in which he arrived.
The heads of each country, feeling the increasingly heavy atmosphere, first fled the place for safety.
“Jincheon Empire! My entrance!”
In the procession of the Jincheon Empire that arrived at sunset, Sirone looked at Jingang’s face.
‘You’re thinner.’
Probably because my daughter is in hell.
“Jin Kang is a formidable man.”
The albino approached.
“There is no country that has not been damaged by war, but it still has the largest population in the world. The brain is Jincheon Space Station. “I heard that a woman named Aanchal leads this group. Isn’t she an alumnus of your class?”
“yes. “Ahnchal dropped out midway through.” The albino stroked his beard.
“The Three Emperors’ Realm has collapsed, but there are still three empires that support this world. Kashan Gustav Jincheon. “Maybe other countries will try to collude with one of them.”
Sirone realized the true meaning of his words.
“It is true that I am close to the King of Jincheon, but I am not a person who handles matters based on personal feelings.”
“You don’t know that.”
The sound of the albino’s laughter was annoying.
“Is there anything in this world that is not a personal emotion? It may be said that it is for a great cause, but that great cause also comes from the heart. Aren’t there plenty of ways to push them into a corner? “If it’s you, even more so.”
“Mr. Albino.”
Shirone wanted to make sure.
“Jin Gang sent his daughter to hell. The daughter saved humanity. “Is there no meaning to that?”
“I’m not trying to fight you.”
The albino was calm.
“Once you hit it, anything will happen. Even if you don’t set a fit, you will get results. It’s like mixing cold and hot water. The problem is who drinks the water. The reason you attended the temple as a Tormian citizen is because the humans who know best are here. That means it’s easy to control.”
“I…
“Do you want to say trust? It doesn’t matter. Yes. Anyway, each person makes their own choice. If your value is superior, I will also try to win your favor…
The albino turned around and shrugged.
“Who knows? What will happen?” As Sirone watched the albino walking away,
Lupist approached.
“Don’t worry too much about it. After all, he is the person who came here to take responsibility for the future of the Tormia people.”
Words are bound to be cold.
“Honestly, I also have some sympathy. I am grateful that you chose Tormia nationality. It would be good if Yahweh would save mankind. But what about after that? It’s competition between countries again. I don’t want to see Tormia fall when that moment comes. Mr. Albino probably knows that too.” Lufist turned his head.
“You are a key figure in the temple with the widest and deepest connections. In some ways, it can be called the 13th country. Honestly, I want to use you. It’s okay to refuse if you don’t like it. But… I hope no words like betrayal are exchanged.”
It was an issue that had to be mentioned at least once before the temple.
‘I feel betrayed.’ While Sirone was lost in thought, the Kingdom of Iron arrived.
It was the only country that maintained royal authority while Fermi controlled the seven southern kingdoms.
Lupist said.
“We have a reasonable political system. The general consensus is that it will not stand out in the temple. “It is moderately strong and moderately flexible.”
A familiar face appeared next to King Basak of Iron.
‘Shura of the Ten Road Council.’
She, who was on the moon with Buddha, came down to the world.
Lufist muttered.
“Why did you choose Iron?”
“It would be Veron.”
Sirone’s eyes sank.
‘The Veron problem.’
Are humans capable of changing the outcome?
‘This is something only God can do. But Veron left a possibility at the last moment.’
The iron pole he had planted in the kingdom of Aeron was still deeply embedded in the law.
‘A result that is not swayed by the cause. It is just pure will without any color.’
It was a hint to stand against God.
Around midnight, the Kingdom of Arachne, representing the Confederation of Southern Tribes and the Ten Kingdoms of the Archipelago, arrived.
Lupist said.
“They are not the core countries of this crusade. But we need to keep an eye on the south. Because many tribes were united during the war. Each person’s shamanism has been combined into one. “The number of demons has decreased due to Gaold’s crazy actions, but it is also significant that the only continent that has eradicated demons is the South.”
Sirone asked.
“What about Arachne?”
“There are many beautiful women.” After a brief moment of appreciation, Sirone turned to Lupist.
“why? “Is what I’m saying strange?”
“It’s so famous that it hosts a world beauty contest. But shouldn’t we look down on someone who can enter the 12 kingdoms of the temple?”
“There is some misunderstanding.”
Lufist pointed to Arachne.
“They say that all places where people live are the same, but as the borders are different, the philosophies of each country are also different. This is a country that has studied beauty for decades. Children grow up dreaming of becoming a world beauty pageant. In other words, the size of the talent pool is different. And that manpower permeates not only Arachne’s politics but also society as a whole. “It goes to the extent of saying that you can’t win even a small contract without a waitress.”
Sirone thought of Rangi.
“You mean professional.”
“okay. Available manpower experience database, etc. In Arachne, beauty eggs are a strategy, not an improvisation. And in the world of beauty, sometimes…
Lupist’s expression turned bitter.
“The elemental bomb design is even more powerful than the same card. “Especially in the political arena where the embodiment of desire is teeming.” Sirone looked at the richly decorated carriages in Arachne’s procession.
There were dozens of carriages that could easily accommodate 10 people, and Lupist was looking at the same place.
“There was no intention to become a leading country in the first place. However, there is ample room to shake things up in the shadows. “What they want is to make as much profit as possible.”
A temple held in the Kingdom of Jive.
‘Kashan Gustav Jincheon.’
3 empires.
‘Iron Moon Paras.’
A powerhouse of tradition.
‘Tormia Kesia Corona.’
An emerging power that participates in the crusade for the first time.
‘South and Arachne.’
An unknown variable that has not yet been guessed.
‘It starts now.’
The doors of the temple were opened.
After leaving the banquet hall, Sirone entered the Tormia area that had been promised in advance.
Security was tight starting from the hallway, and Yonglei’s staff led the way to the conference room.
When we entered the room guarded by the guards, Pony, the albino Lupist, and Fleur were gathered around the table.
“Did you find it?”
Lupist said.
“I wanted you to hear the briefing. Did I disturb you?”
“no.”
As Sirone took a seat on one side of the table, Fleur walked to the standing chart in front.
“This is a place to check essential elements before going to the temple. “Then let’s start the briefing.”
Fleur took out his baton and pointed to large letters written on the chart.
“sanctuary. It is a United Nations created by countries that exert powerful influence in the world. The temple organization is largely divided into five groups. General Assembly’s Military Department, Economic and Social Department, Religious Department, and International Justice Department. “Usually, when a temple is opened, it means a general meeting.”
The baton struck the chart.
“The military department is collectively known as Valkyrie, and until recently, Iruki, a native of Tormia, was head of the military, but he is currently on leave due to emotional illness.”
The word retirement was not used.
“The head of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs is Mr. Smith, chairman of the International Alchemy Foundation. “I’m from the Kingdom of Eve.”
“I can’t expect any favors.”
“yes. However, it is comforting to know that authority has been significantly reduced since the war. The Religious Department is under the jurisdiction of the Lamic Pope, and the International Tribunal is under the exclusive control of the Red Line Headquarters.”
the albino asked.
“Who is the general manager? “I understand that they are elected from among those who have served as presidents of the association in each country.”
“Currently, Mr. Bebeto Socrates holds the position. Nickname: Well-fed Pig. “I was the president of the Yakma Republic Magic Association for seven years.”
“I guess Gaold knows?”
“yes. “I also attended a meeting of former association presidents with Mr. Gaold, but the relationship didn’t seem to be particularly good.”
Lupist burst out laughing.
“Who would he be close with?” Fleur continued his explanation.
“The temple’s affiliated organizations include the World Climate Organization, the World Health Organization, and the World Communications Agency. Delegates from each organization will also attend tomorrow’s event.”
Seriel was also coming after staying up all night.
“This is the outline of the temple. Now, I will explain the most important thing, the temple voting method.”
The explanation continued while Sirone adjusted his expression.
“Once the temple schedule is completed, the 12 countries will gather and vote at the same time. “Each state can exercise three powers: the first is ROM.”
In ancient language, it meant power.
“ROM is a vote that can be given to one’s own country or to another country.”
Selectable table.
“The second is Garto. It is a vote given to another country as a favor. What you need to remember here is that invalid votes are not possible.”
“It means you have to take pictures.”
“yes. Even if there are three votes, it is still a vote. “If you break the rules, you will be considered to give up voting and your authority will be revoked.”
Fleur pointed to the third item.
“Finally, Temika. ROM that was not used in one country with the right to suppress it would be a ROM that was passed on to another country. “We can erase that mark.”
Sirone asked.
“In other words, when Tormia exercises the authority of Rom on its own country, other countries cannot erase it with Temica, right?”
“yes. If ROM trading becomes too active, there will be no upper limit on auctions. To put it simply, you can transfer the 1 point that could be given to you to someone else, but that 1 point
runs the risk of being erased by -1 point.”
Lupist said.
“ROM is the key.”
“yes. For example, a country without leadership ambitions, like Arachne, would probably try to sell this authority at the highest price. However, from the buyer’s perspective, there is a suppressor called Temica, so they will not be able to buy it outright.”
“Hmm.”
While everyone was lost in their thoughts, Fleur continued.
“Until the vote, the 12 countries will be free to negotiate this mandate, and ultimately the country with the highest votes will become the leader with the approval of the Pope. Mathematically, 23 votes is the maximum and minimum is 0 votes. However, the decision-maker must be an official representative of his/her country, and if he/she is replaced midway, his or her predecessor’s authority will be revoked.”
The albino shook his shoulders.
“Tsk tsk tsk, the king is being replaced…
It felt like the smell of blood was already in the air.
