For a long time, the peace on the planet had been maintained by high pressure and killing. In the realm that ordinary people could not detect, the creatures in the shadows crawled in the blood. The cruel demon hunters would kill all the supernatural species that left the sanctuary and were discovered by them. Hunting and deterrence worked together to maintain the current situation. In the beginning, humans were weak and relied on this kind of killing between the demon hunters and the otherworldlings to survive. Later, as humans became stronger, this kind of killing went underground, but it was still a key factor to maintain the balance.
But now the demon hunters could no longer maintain this kind of killing, and they had no reason or motivation to continue the war. So they needed a new 'authority' to control the world situation and maintain the stability of the planet.
This was not only to protect humans, but the old, cunning families knew this very well. It was also to protect themselves and lay the foundation for greater benefits.
"Before discussing the new order, I want to introduce you to someone," after Vivian had outlined her ideas, Hao Ren got to his feet and opened his Dimensional Pocket in the open space next to the conference table. "Someone here should know him."
As the Dimensional Pocket opened, Ymir's head suddenly appeared in the conference room.
A murmur of surprise echoed in the room. The participants could not help but stir when they saw the huge head. Obviously, most of the people born after the Mythological Era did not know this ancient one. But Ymir still had an old acquaintance here. "Ymir?" A cry of surprise came from the corner of the room.
Hao Ren looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was a woman in black with a gloomy temperament. After a careful search, Hao Ren remembered who this woman was: Her name was Hel, one of the only survivors of the Norse gods.
"Long time no see, little girl of the Loki family." Ymir did not open his mouth, but his voice echoed directly in everyone's ears. His eyes rolled around the conference room. "… There are not many familiar faces here."
"You …" Hel was a little stunned. This reaction had more or less dispelled the lingering cold temperament. "You are still alive? I thought you and Yggdrasil had fallen into the Goldgallon Chasm together! "
Ymir seemed to smile. "Of course I am alive, and I have been in the base camp of the demon hunters for more than two thousand years. I'm their consultant. "
The crowd was in an uproar.
"Actually, I should have asked him to come out and meet everyone just now." Hao Ren scratched his head. "But I was too excited just now and forgot about it …"
Hao Ren and Ymir explained the situation. The otherworldling leaders were stunned when they heard that Ymir had become a guard and advisor in the demon hunter's base camp. Fortunately, they had been baptized by the fact that Vivian was the 14th sage of the demon hunters. Their nerves were strong enough to accept the fact.
"I have listened to all of your discussions," Ymir said slowly. "Vivian and Lily are now only the nominal leaders of the demon hunters. Their voice in the council is still limited. But I have been a consultant to the demon hunters for more than 2,000 years, and I am also responsible for their inheritance. So I have a high voice in the council. Here, I can speak as the representative of the demon hunters. "
The intellectual giant of the Norse gods had become the representative of the council of the demon hunters. The way things unfolded was a little confusing. But when they thought about the first sage who had become a dog, it seemed that it was not too hard to accept.
What followed was two dull and depressing hours of elaboration, debate, supplementation, and discussion.
In these two hours, a new form of order had been laid.
In Vivian's vision, the situation after the demon hunters disappeared would be like this: the otherworldlings would no longer have to hide in the sanctuary. They could live freely in human society, and the demon hunters would no longer hunt them. The two sides would enter a truce and promise not to attack each other. The otherworldlings would live in the way they had learned in modern human sociology and peacefully and safely integrated into life on Earth. In the process, they would gain the most precious thing — freedom and security.
Vivian put her hand on the table and said, "We have to consider that there are still many people who are not friendly enough to human society. Without the supervision of the demon hunters, they will attack humans. So in the beginning, we will only allow those who have passed the test and sworn to obey the rules to leave the sanctuary. We will form an organization similar to a supervisory board with the existing Ancients as the leaders and the respected leaders of the big families as the backbone to control the flow of people in each sanctuary and monitor the supernatural creatures in the world. I know that a considerable number of you here have been involved in human society. You should be familiar with this. What we need to do next is to let those who have never left the sanctuary adapt to the outside world peacefully, just like you. "
While the demon hunters were hunting everywhere, there were still otherworldlings in the world. Needless to say, the group of demons in Hao Ren's family was the most obvious example. The most obvious example was the human businesses under the name of the Hessianite Family. Hessianite herself would often boldly go outside the sanctuary to inspect the businesses under her name. However, due to the pressure of 'hunting', these supernatural creatures who were involved in human society had to tread on thin ice. They dared not invest too much. There were thousands of people in the Hessianite Family, but only a few hundred could participate in the human businesses. The rest had not left the sanctuary for at least a thousand years.
But from today onwards, these 'people' would be able to move safely outside the sanctuary, as long as they did not disrupt the order of Earth.
They would be a huge group.
And this huge group needed an organization with enough authority and strength to manage it.
"It's a good idea, but I'm afraid it won't be easy to form this' supervisory board, '" Zeon Lucas said, scratching his chin. Lucas rubbed his chin. "Although the innate hostility has disappeared, the estrangement between the races will not disappear so easily. This supervisory organization itself needs to be led by the leaders of each race. Our own unity is a problem …"
"This is something you have to figure out yourself," Hao Ren said, pursing his lips. "And I believe you have a way to solve this problem. I even think you have discussed the feasibility of establishing a similar 'joint organization.'"
The representatives exchanged glances with each other. Although no one spoke, a tacit understanding was obvious.
"Maybe we should give this new supervisory board a name?" Hessiana, who had been silent all this while, finally spoke. She pinched her chin, and her action was exactly the same as Vivian's. "How about the Shadow Council?"
"Ugh, why does this name sound so ominous …" Hao Ren had a little cold sweat on his forehead. He was not the only one who objected. Many family representatives also felt that the name was unreliable. Not all otherworldlings belonged to the Shadow Faction, and the 'Shadow Council' was a name that they could not accept.
Next, the other family representatives also proposed a few names, but obviously, they were not very popular.
Lily poked Hao Ren's arm. "Mr. Landlord, think of one."
Hao Ren cleared his throat. Just as he was about to show off his amazing naming talent, Nangong Wuyue, who was next to him, quickly swung her tail and curled it around his head. The siren maiden looked horrified. "Don't! Calm down! "
"What's there to discuss about these details?" Vivian knocked on the table. "The name is just a code. If you can't come up with a solution, just call it the Neighborhood Committee —"
Before Vivian's voice trailed off, all the representatives stood up and praised Hessiana. The name 'Shadow Council' was accurate, concise and to the point. The representatives who were arguing with each other a moment ago were now happy and harmonious …
So, the new supervisory organization was named the Shadow Council.
"Now that there is a council, we must first decide on a speaker." Hessiana had been uninterested in the meeting, but now, she was particularly excited about the 'new order' proposed by Vivian. As soon as the name of the Shadow Council was finalized, Little Bat could not wait to jump up and express her opinion. "We know ourselves. Let's not talk about the mess between the otherworldling families, right? Even if there is no innate hostility, it is unrealistic for you guys to go to work all day long. So, we need a group of respected and powerful ancients as members of the council. We also need the most respected, the most powerful, the most experienced, the most beautiful, the most charming, the greatest, the most perfect, the most — "
"Ahem, you don't have to say it. We all know —" Lucas, a mature and steady, zombie-faced handsome man, could not resist Hessiana's starry eyes. He quickly coughed twice and said, "But I disagree."
Hessiana suddenly raised her eyebrows. "Do you think you have the aptitude?"
"It's not a matter of aptitude," Lucas said. Lucas looked at Vivian with a hint of fear in his eyes. He folded his hands on the table and said with a sincere expression, "The countess is very famous. Countless dynasties have been destroyed because of her. Although I believe that she can be fair and honest, there are some things about her that can't be controlled. I …"
Hessiana slammed the table. "Speak human!"
The old werewolf Hogwarf said with a straight face, "My family is poor. We can't afford to suffer."
"She is forgetful. She may not remember that there is a council here in a few days."
Zeon? Lucas said with a straight face, "And she kills in her dreams … before her dreams."
Vivian was speechless.
