Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong - Chapter 2185 1218: The Meeting and the Lord's Decision (Part 2)
With a solemn expression on his aged face, Yonir nodded to Leo Ray and said, “Our Alchemist Guild agrees with the Royal Highness Prince’s proposal.”
“Our Mercenary Guild also raises both hands in approval.”
Grey Elder immediately followed, supplementing, “Only by doing so can the Human World’s crisis be remedied at the fastest pace.”
After the two elder guild masters expressed their opinions, the subordinates like Lawrence and Eckhart, along with King Coldflame and others, naturally followed suit, with even Catherine and Cecilia responding eagerly without the slightest hesitation.
“As for the second issue, it concerns the Temple of Light itself.”
After the first issue was passed, Leo Ray continued, “It is imaginable that once everything is made public, the Temple of Light will definitely suffer a severe drop in prestige, so the next decision we need to make is whether the Temple of Light should continue to stand in the Human World.”
Hearing these words, everyone fell silent, and the old Bishop bowed his head in shame.
The Guardians of the Human World have instead become a hotbed of darkness, which is an enormous irony.
After a moment, Lawrence’s aged face showed a hint of solemnity as he was the first to speak, “Royal Highness Prince, the Temple of Light is the main provider for the healers of the Human World, holding great significance to the Human World. Keeping it aligns more with the interests of the Human World.”
“King Grimm is right. Around the Royal Highness Prince are still gathered a group of priests bathing in the light, who have made significant contributions by speaking and persuading everywhere. At the very least, they should have a place to return to.”
Eckhart pondered for a moment, then said, “I believe, as long as everything is under control and there is no discord among the various parties of the Human World, it is enough to prevent problems before they arise.”
After their comments, Catherine and Cecilia hurriedly nodded their agreement.
“Regarding the opinions of King Grimm and King of Verdant Green, I also have no objections.”
Yonir lightly stroked his gray short beard, then shook his head with resignation and said, “From a fundamental standpoint, letting the other side run rampant for a century, our Alchemist Guild also bears the responsibility of oversight. If we had been able to notice the signs earlier, perhaps all of this could have been avoided.”
“Indeed, ultimately it is because of our mutual distrust and self-interest.”
Grey Elder’s face was full of awkwardness as he sighed lightly, adding, “If everyone were open and honest, what harm could letting the Temple of Light continue to stand in the Human World have?”
“The time when the Human World will be united is almost at hand.”
Leo Ray slightly raised his eyebrows, then summarized, “Then we shall implement it according to everyone’s opinions.”
“Thank you, Royal Highness Prince, Your Majesties, and the two guild masters!”
Lorenz’s face was full of excitement as he directly knelt before Leo Ray.
“Please, sir, stand up. You have contributed immensely this time, no need to be so formal.”
Leo Ray helped Lorenz up and then returned to his seat.
Regarding the Temple of Light’s fate, Leo Ray maintained a positive attitude, but naturally, the prerequisite was holding it in his own hands.
As long as this once colossal entity of the Human World could be controlled, it would greatly benefit the future from any perspective.
“Since that’s settled, let’s determine the new Master of the Temple of Light. Only the right candidate can let the Holy Light shine upon the earth again.”
Leo Ray’s gaze shifted and finally rested on Sofia, whose fair face was radiating sanctity and gentleness. He smiled and said, “I propose Her Majesty the Holy Queen to assume this position. What do you all think?”
“I?”
Sofia was evidently caught off guard and hadn’t reacted yet.
“I agree, Sofia Her Majesty is the most revered monarch of the Grimm Kingdom and holds great prestige in the Temple of Light, undoubtedly the most suitable candidate!”
Lawrence immediately cast his vote in favor, his face full of enthusiasm.
“I also agree, even the boundless prairies echo with the name of Her Majesty the Holy Queen, and the eagles in the sky cheer for her.”
Eckhart naturally took to it without hesitation, as if Leo Ray had allowed Scarlett to assume the role of the Master of the Temple of Light, this new King of Verdant Green could sing a hymn just the same.
“I concur as well.”
With admiration, Catherine looked at Leo Ray, her words brief but with a meaning as evident as the sunrise: she would always support Leo Ray’s proposals.
As for Cecilia, she nodded fiercely in agreement, without any objections.
In the heart of the First Princess Pals, the prowess and depth Leo Ray exhibited had long been an insurmountable existence, and even chatting with him was a great honor for her.
“The suggestion of the Royal Highness Prince is indeed the most appropriate choice.”
Grey Elder and Yonir exchanged a glance, seeing a firm determination in each other’s eyes.
The two naturally understood quite clearly that as long as Sofia took the position, it would mean that the Temple of Light was essentially in Leo Ray’s control.
But this young man from the Otherworld not only saved the entire Human World but perhaps could also lead the Human Clan to stand atop the Ten Thousand Clans, alongside those proud immortal races once more. An endeavor so thrilling it set one’s blood on fire.
Moreover, with the current trend, the young man from the Otherworld was but half a step away from ruling the entire Human World. What other choice had they apart from bowing and following suit?
“Then it is decided.”
Leo Ray snapped his fingers lightly and smiled at Sofia, “Your Majesty the Holy Queen, though it might be sudden, please do not decline.”
“Since it is an instruction from the Royal Highness Prince, what reason do I have to refuse?”
Sofia’s fair face bore a solemn expression as she nodded heavily, “Though this position carries significant weight, I will certainly do my utmost.”
“Greetings to His Holiness the Pope!”
Seeing everything settled, the old bishop immediately came to Sofia’s side and gracefully saluted, “In my childhood, I grew up listening to your legendary stories. It is my supreme honor to align my heart with you towards the Holy Light!”
“Please, sir, rise quickly. You are the pillar of the current Temple of Light, and I will have many places to rely on you in the future.”
As a former monarch, Sofia had long been accustomed to such situations, smiling as she helped him up.
“Alright, this meeting is over. The calamity has just ended, and it still requires you all to guide the Human World back to order. Surely everyone is aware of the Great Catastrophe; the challenges we face are far from over.”
Leo Ray stood from his seat, nodding to everyone, “I will provide all necessary help, including copious Building Blueprints and various resources, to ensure the battered Human World is revitalized in a short time, leaving no one homeless nor anyone hungry or cold.”
“At your command, Royal Highness Prince!”
Upon hearing Leo Ray’s instruction, the leaders also stood up in unison and responded.
As he watched everyone’s departing figures, Leo Ray did not relax, immediately arranging various tasks, as well as organizing the celebratory banquet and commendation ceremony, along with other trivial matters.
Among these, particularly concerning the other subordinate cities of the Temple of Light around Radiant City that were yet to come under control, Leo Ray promptly dispatched Elder Bing, Qiana, and others along with Ice Stone City to assist Lawrence with the takeover, ensuring everything proceeded in an orderly fashion.
In addition, Leo Ray also informed leaders like Quinn Serena of the relevant situation, notifying them that they could relax and fully cooperate with the reconstruction efforts across various regions.
“Is it finally coming to an end?”
Watching the commanders and main force subordinates awaiting orders as they left one by one, Leo Ray’s tense expression finally eased a bit as he slumped into the soft conference chair.
Since everything had already been deployed, he should take this opportunity to reassess his newfound strength and gains.
