People in Terra, poor and weak but invincible

Chapter 1005: Sakota, Law and Lateran

It was a small Iberian town, and you won’t find its name on any maps or history books today.

When there were still people living there, it was called Chaoshi Town.

As a neighboring country of Lateran, this Iberian town also believes in religion. The bishop living in the town raised a young Sacotta, who grew up, studied, and spent the best years of his life here.

But when the disaster called the Great Silence came.

No matter how hard people try, life is always fragile.

After the disaster receded, death and destruction did not leave with them. A plague, a famine, or a premeditated infiltration was enough to destroy everything.

In order to save his hometown which is not his hometown, Sakota came to the holy city of Lateran and asked for some insignificant support, even if it was just a promise, a sermon, or a flashy hope called survival.

His call for help was responded to, but it was a response called despair.

The answer he got was simple: You are one of us, they are not.

When Sakota returned to his "homeland" from his hometown, everything had disappeared.

Like a grain of sand disappearing in the desert, a drop of water melting in the waves.

Sakota had even forgotten how long he had wandered after that. He returned to Lateran again, emaciated and like a wandering soul.

He still had something called faith in his heart, so he went to a chapel to visit a canonized bishop to seek answers and guidance.

Even saints can only remain silent.

No one knows whether Sakota has resentment in his heart, and no one knows whether Sakota has regrets in his heart. People only know that he eventually became a part of Lateran and a practitioner of the law, until...

A mission, a chance to see the truth, a defection.

Confused, Sakota embarked on a journey that was doomed to no return.

What the truth is may no longer be important. Sakota can no longer stop, nor does he want to stop. He will dedicate everything he has to this journey, not for himself, nor for his "hometown" that has long ceased to exist, but only for all the equally confused seekers around him.

Now, this Sakota was walking out of the cathedral with two figures and coming under the sunlight.

He saw confusion, puzzlement, and even panic.

All kinds of emotions are accumulating in this city.

The source of all this was just two figures walking slowly towards the end of Andon's sight.

"A Carter and... a Sarkaz?" Andorn's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Amiya, and Theresa." Qi Yan introduced.

He touched his chin and couldn't help turning his head to look at the Pope beside him.

The old man was dressed in the Pope's attire, looking elegant and dignified, with a calm expression, and his composure carried the dignity that only belongs to a superior.

Without the entanglement and uneasiness that he had when the three of them were alone, when the Pope came into the sight of many people, he was no longer himself.

He is Rutland.

Rutland, never afraid.

"Welcome, Ms. Theresa, Ms. Amiya."

The Pope looked at the Sarkaz who came in front of him and greeted him politely: "Long time no see."

"Long time no see, Your Holiness." Theresa bowed gracefully to Sakota in front of her.

The official meeting between the angel and the devil was presented to everyone in an unexpected way.

Countless Lateran residents and envoys from various countries who had heard the news gathered in front of the cathedral.

People looked at the Pope, at Theresa, and of course, some people looked at Qi Yan who stood shoulder to shoulder with a Sakota man.

Everyone is waiting for an explanation.

The hatred between the Sarkaz and the Sakota, the grudges between the Sarkaz and all the races on this land, no matter what the reason, is not enough to support a Sarkaz leader to appear at the ceremony of the Summit of All Nations.

But Theresa showed up anyway, and the messengers from all nations who accompanied her proved that her appearance was known to the Pope and personally authorized.

But the expected explanation did not appear.

After a brief greeting between the Pope and Theresa, he turned aside and invited Theresa and the other two to go to the cathedral.

At this moment, all the dissatisfaction reached its peak.

The envoys from various countries stood where they were, with no intention of heading to the cathedral, silently expressing their stance.

There were a few sporadic protests among the gathered Lateran residents, which gradually spread and intensified.

"Why are the Sarkaz here?"

"We need an explanation! How many Sakota have died at the hands of the Sarkaz over the years!"

"Sarkaz even enjoy hunting Sakota. They are proud to collect Sakota's guardian guns. Your Excellency the Pope, why did you invite a Sarkaz?"

The musketeers wordlessly blocked the way in front of the Lateran residents.

However, these residents did not attempt to take drastic actions. Their respect for the Pope and their belief in the law made them unwilling to resort to violence, but the anger in their hearts made it impossible for them to remain silent, and they must get an answer.

Andorn watched everything that happened in front of him silently.

He turned his head to look at Qi Yan beside him and asked:

"This may require you to step in and suppress it."

"Can this kind of thing be solved by suppression?" Qi Yan smiled bitterly, "I can make people shut up, but doing so will only make this summit of nations, which has cost so much effort, exist in name only and cause disunity."

"Even you can't do anything?"

Andorn sighed with mixed feelings.

Qi Yan silently pondered over countermeasures and missed the doctor's wisdom more and more.

Just when Qi Yan's dog brain was about to overload and smoke, a deep bell sounded.

All the sounds disappeared, and countless eyes looked in the direction of the bell, converging on the tall stone tower next to the cathedral.

"The Tower of Revelation... Why is the bell of the Tower of Revelation ringing?"

"Isn't it said that this bell only rang when the first saints walked the earth?"

"The bells have to ring at this time... Is this what the law means?"

The Sakotas stopped complaining in disbelief, and a throbbing from the depths of their souls surged throughout their bodies.

All disputes and differences are unified under the bell.

"During the day, Sakota saw the sky was dark and the sun was not visible. At night, the devil's army chased and killed many Sakota. Sakota lost much of its glory."

"The saints said: Follow me. And the stone tower stood up."

"The saints said: Listen to me. Then the bells rang."

“The sound of the bells echoed in the wilderness, and the Sakota became one.”

“This is a revelation, this is a proverb.”

"There will be light during the day, no longer obscured."

"The saints say: Build a city, it is the paradise of Sakota."

"And the saints said, This city ought to be called Lateran."

Prayers echoed along with the bells, and all differences were united into a unified force by faith.

The best explanation is when the bell symbolizing Sakota rang after the Sarkaz stepped into the holy city.

After finishing their prayer, the Sakotas stopped denouncing the Pope. They looked at his back, waiting for him to bring them a new future.

The countries standing still looked at each other in bewilderment.

They could not understand Sakota's beliefs, nor did they wait for Qi Yan's forced intervention as expected, nor did they even receive a special explanation from the Pope.

It was as if... this summit of all nations was a truly grand gathering for this land and all races. There were no differences, no hostility, only fair regard for everyone.

If the law cannot protect everyone, then Lateran will make the impossible happen!

"Let's go. Don't forget that this event is to unite the nations of Terra."

Wei Yanwu sighed and became the first envoy to head towards the cathedral.

“Closure does not bring a future.”

Yucatan held Hugh Rose's hand and walked towards the cathedral step by step.

“Perhaps participating in this event is the most correct decision Colombia has made in recent years.”

Blake walked steadily, and joined the team forward with the military and Rhine Life members except Little Justin.

"Ah... that... that... the teacher only told me to come to the World Summit, and didn't say anything else."

Elini trotted forward.

"This little bird is right!"

The fools from the rain forest suddenly realized what was going on and started to stir up trouble.

The remaining envoys from various countries: "..."

Finally, their eyes lingered on the Victorian delegation.

The captain of the Victorian delegation lowered her head slightly, clenched her hands into fists, and her white knuckles confirmed the excitement in her heart at the moment.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

"The war is over, the shame will not be blurred by time, but the glory of Victoria will not be tarnished by hatred."

The captain of the Victorian mission took a deep breath and walked resolutely towards the cathedral.

When Victoria's mission made its decision, the situation became clear.

The Pope looked back at the diplomatic envoys from various countries who were lining up to come in, his expression calm and majestic. But before leading the team into the door, he took a last look at Qi Yan who was standing at the door without moving.

"Thank you." The Pope thanked him softly.

Qi Yan:?

Andorn seemed to understand: "So this is your plan, it really lives up to its reputation."

Qi Yan: ? ?

Wei Yanwu, the first one to come over from the delegation, winked at Qi Yan:

"That's a big deal. Next time you have an event like this that will make you proud, remember to call me."

Qi Yan: ???

No, what did he do again?

This bell sound really has nothing to do with him!

Wait, the bell rang? Because of Cecilia? Why did this girl run to ring the bell again?

Just when Qi Yan was about to become stunned, Elini came up to him with excitement in the queue of envoys from various countries entering the cathedral.

"Qi Yan, you actually have such powerful means and strategies, no wonder Ms. Outcast trusts you so much." Elini said admiringly, "I now feel that you must have known about the birth of a new life in Haisi, even though I didn't tell you."

Qi Yan: ????? ????? ????? ????? ?????

"Since you know everything, you must have made preparations early like today. I'm going to attend the meeting first. See you later."

After Elini dropped a bombshell message, Maomaozao returned to the queue and slipped into the cathedral.

Qi Yan opened his mouth wide, stretched out his hand towards Elini's back, took a step forward subconsciously, but finally stopped.

Andorn recovered from the shock of the news, looked at Qi Yan, and asked:

"You're not going to attend the meeting? Have you really anticipated this kind of disaster and planned it out long ago?"

"I expected..."

Qi Yan's expression was a little distorted: "It's just that I have a psychological trauma about the meeting."

Andone looked even more shocked than when he heard about the new birth.

Qi Yan covered his face.

The beginning of his journey into debt was when he eagerly attended the Rhodes Island weekly meeting hosted by Kal'tsit.

Of course, he hadn't planned to attend this meeting.

This is an important meeting to determine the future direction of this land. If he participates, envoys from various countries will definitely make some concessions because of his influence.

At that time, it seems that the beautiful vision of the great unity of all races will be ushered in, but in fact it is just a castle in the air forcibly built under high pressure.

"Forget it, let me deal with what I can finish first."

Qi Yan's gaze fell on Andorn, who suddenly shuddered.
