Some people were sarcastic, and some people didn’t even say a word, as if they didn’t want to say it. However, among them, there were those who were watching Sehyun keenly.
They were the ones who showed respect and greeted Sehyeon during the banquet. It remains at a fairly high level.
“No, those uncivilized bastards are going to die… !”
“Jaeyoung, it’s okay. There is no need to get angry at everyone. “As you said, it’s because we’re uncivilized, so we need to understand.”
“uh… If my brother… . okay.”
That side was the first to act childish, but there was no need to be childish on this side either.
Lee Jae-young opened his eyes and then took the form of a human and led Se-hyeon to where Baek Do-hyeon was.
In that moment, the atmosphere became even colder.
“Did you hear? under! “It’s uncivilized.”
“It will be a very amazing meeting.”
Soon, a cold whisper poured out. Clearly demarcated territory and hostility.
Fan referred to the Federation as a place where people with the same goal gathered together, but even so, he said he could not trust them. From what Sehyun saw for herself, Fan’s thoughts were all wrong.
Same goal? meaning? They just needed a place to rest. To rely on a powerful institution called the Federation.
“Now that I think about it, I think I heard that the Black Empire is coming today. “Does anyone know?”
“They say there are only 20 newly incorporated empires, so we have no choice but to wait and see. “There are still a lot of empty seats.”
“The Monster Empire and the Domination Empire have also joined the alliance, so they could join us here.”
“They had better not get their hopes up. “They both have such strong closed-mindedness. Is it possible for them to come up?”
“Well, he is like that too.”
“Does anyone believe that there are 12 hero-level vassals raised by the Black Empire?”
“Oh my, do you believe that? How do you know things that aren’t even displayed in the rankings? “I mean, who can’t do it in a flashy way?”
“When an alliance is formed, the national power of the opposing empire can be seen, but since the only allies of the Black Empire are the Engineering Empire, how can we know? “I was curious about the Engineering Empire a while ago, so I poked around a bit, but it turned out that he wasn’t very talkative either.”
“It’s hard to trust in many ways, so everyone, take it easy.”
“I wasn’t the only one who thought that. I thought we all thought the same thing, haha. “Does 12 people make sense?”
“Well, I came out with the mindset to open my eyes and see how great it is, but I still have to go after seeing it.”
“Oh, since there’s no need for it all, why don’t we quickly call the representatives and start a banquet or a meeting? “This shit has been going on for hours.”
If the growth of the federation was sudden, the current situation can be explained to some extent. The lines between them were too clear, but other than the few countries that everyone knew, they still didn’t know the names of each other’s empires or even their rankings.
Sehyeon suddenly felt eyes on him and instinctively turned his head. As soon as she turned her gaze, she made eye contact with her man. He was the masked man I saw at the banquet. He groped Sehyeon’s body.
The corner of the cold man’s eyes suddenly became long and curved. He had snake-like eyes.
Fen had once explained to Sehyeon that the author was the king of the ‘Shadow Empire of Zaurca’, ranked 5th in the empire rankings. They say he’s on the same side, but what he does isn’t that different from Fan. It’s like the eyes are looking for a place to bite.
Sehyeon immediately took his gaze away from the masked man. Meanwhile, other empires appeared at the conference hall. Each time, the atmosphere in the conference room became extremely quiet.
The rain still didn’t stop, and I didn’t expect Fan and Agatha to show up either. Perhaps because it was an open space, my entire body was damp from the misty rain blown by the wind. Even the wings were now soaked and heavy.
About an hour later, Fan and Agatha, who had been waiting for so long, finally appeared. At that time, the last empty seat had just been filled. The atmosphere of the conference room became quite solemn with Agatha’s appearance.
“Thank you for your hard work on your way. “I am Agatha, King of the Cavalry Empire, representing the Federation.”
“It’s a fan of a like-minded engineering empire. First of all, I would like to express my deepest apologies for my late attendance. “It’s so late because Gin has something to discuss.”
Agasa and Fan closed their eyes deeply and offered a sincere apology. Nowhere did she say anything expressing her regret.
“The purpose of hosting the federation meeting is to discuss and decide on several issues. It is also for the sake of harmony with the newly joined empire. Currently, the ‘Choun Alliance’ consists of 38 empires working together to achieve their goals. We may not all have the same intentions, but the federation will support the one with the closest indicators. Therefore, the agenda will be accepted by the majority of the empire, so we ask for the valuable opinions of all empires.”
“Any empire that wants can submit an agenda. “This will also be decided by majority vote after sufficient discussion.”
“Could you please refer to the empire that has an agenda to table for the future of the alliance?”
At Agatha’s words, the conference room fell into heavy silence. But suddenly someone raised their hand. Everyone’s eyes focused on one place.
He was the man at the center of the group that mocked Sehyeon.
“Please tell me.”
“I say I am Numan of the Heavenly Ancient Empire, ranked 21st in the imperial rankings. What is the exact purpose of the federation? It certainly seems quite different from what I heard when I decided to join the Choun Alliance, doesn’t it? “Isn’t the Choun Alliance an alliance created to overcome achievements?”
“The ideology of the Federation never changes.”
“I don’t think so. From the beginning, the condition for joining the alliance was an empire with the ability to complete achievements. But what about now? Looking at that young man over there with white wings, I feel like he can’t even lift a stone, let alone achieve great things. Are you going to reduce it to a place that can only fill the number of people? “I would like an explanation for this.”
There was justification and reason for the man’s criticism. He criticized Sehyun, but stated that it was because it would affect his achievements. What the man named Numan said made perfect sense.
At least he didn’t reject Sehyun for no reason, and unlike others, he showed a serious attitude toward his achievements.
“Achievements? haha! Wouldn’t it be enough to just fill the number of people? Don’t take it too seriously. “More than that, I don’t like being in one place with the Celestials because I feel like I’m deprived of them.”
“There is a rumor that the final achievement is also a tournament between empires. If it is a federation, do the federations stick together? “It’ll be fun.”
“Now that I think about it, everyone gathered together because of their achievements.”
Sehyeon clearly saw Numan’s eyes frowning as he objected. Unlike Numan, the people around him showed a quite lazy attitude towards his achievements.
These were the words of those drunk on imperialism. They neglected achievements and only pursued present pleasures. Even though the red letters of the achievement that conveyed ominousness were so clear, I forgot about them.
The conference room was soon filled with laughing and chatting voices. Of course, there were some who did not laugh.
Like Sehyeon, they were people who could not forget the ominous nature of their achievements.
“… stop. “Everyone, please be considerate.”
Agatha’s solemn voice passed through the audience. With that one word, the controversy evolved surprisingly quickly.
“Numan, I know what you are worried about. But, you don’t have to worry about that.”
“Then let me listen to that first.”
“wait a minute.”
Someone cut through the heavy air and interrupted Agatha’s words. Agatha’s head turned towards the direction from which the sound came. There was Sehyeon, who gently raised his hand.
Numan’s charcoal eyebrows rose quickly, and everyone’s eyes focused on him. Nevertheless, Sehyun did not lower his hand and asked Agasa to speak.
“Tell me.”
“Before giving an answer to the Heavenly Ancient Empire, I would also like to request an agenda.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the conference room became noisy again. Everyone, from those who were laughing out loud to those who were shaking their shoulders and laughing, were mocking Sehyun. Thanks to this, only Lee Jae-young, who was sitting next to me, was grinning.
But Numanman did not laugh. Rather, he was keeping his chin firmly raised and looking at Sehyeon as if asking her to say something.
Kwaang-!
“Be careful!”
Agatha’s voice echoed beyond the conference hall and into the rain. The conference room was soon filled with silence due to the solemn momentum.

“No matter who spoke, there is no reason to be criticized for anything as far as the agenda is concerned. Keep this in mind, everyone.”
Everyone cleared their throats and swallowed their words in bloody anger. Agasa’s gaze glanced at the audience and then landed on Sehyeon.
“Let me hear what it is first. “What is it?”
Sehyeon looked at Fan, who was standing next to Agasa, for a moment. Their eyes met and a small nod was exchanged.
“I will vote on the protection and training of the Celestial Race rescued by the Engineering Empire.”
There was no laughter. But something even scarier than that scratched Sehyun and passed by. Selling looks. There were many things in the gaze that tingled my skin. The biggest one is prejudice.
“I will speak.”
“I will also speak.”
“I also speak out.”
“I will allow it.”
Many people raised their hands to bite Sehyun’s words. Agatha gave them all the floor.
“Tell me why we must take on the responsibility of protecting and nurturing the Celestial Race.”
“I want to exclude that man who is distracting from the point of the interview.”
“They seem to have a deep sense of friendship because they are of the same Celestial race, so I wonder if it would be a good idea to create a separate alliance there. Otherwise, please recite the reason why you said such bullshit.”
“Please refrain from using excessive words. They are definitely equal members of the same federation. “Please observe the minimum courtesy.”
“equal? Ha, really… “I can’t say anything.”
Sehyeon looked at the people who were laughing, then took out a potion from his inventory and placed it on the table.
As soon as a thumping sound rang out over the smooth wooden surface, everyone’s eyes, including Agatha’s, focused on one place. The potion, which had been refined to the point of transparency, was emitting a soft glow even amidst the gloom.
“This is a potion that, if poured in the right amount, can restore an amputated limb in just one day. In addition, it is the only potion that can replace elixir among existing potions.”
