Chapter 486: The Dissolution of the Two Churches

”There is something happening outside of the village.” Adrian stated as he tapped into Kanlaonʼs eyes to see what is happening.

Just like what Adrian feared, there is a sizeable monster horde coming towards them. Adrian could only guess that those monsters are trying to go here because of the rich aura of life and death that filled this area.

The monsters that are charging towards here want to use the abundant energy as a catalyst for them to evolve. It has been said that monsters ready for evolution always flock with areas filled with immense amount of energy.

”It seems that some monsters are getting attracted to the energy being released by everyone in this meeting. Do not worry as my soulbounds are already taking care of it but let us speed things up just for proper measure.” Adrian stated as the elders of each group handed the paper they wrote.

”It is now time to assess the demands of the two factions in order to form the council of Harmony.” Levin Cloud stated.

”Before we proceed, I think it is n our best interest that we see the faces of the members of the Church of Death.” An elder from the Church of Life stated and her fellow elders agreed.

”I see no reason to refuse. Everyone, you can take off your hoods.” An elder from the Church of Death stated.

The Church of Death elders took off their hoods and their forms are seen by everyone. The elders of the Church of Life know them because they are like them just different in color. The elders of the Church of Death are all Dark Elves.

”Can we proceed now as the issue has been resolved?” Levin Cloud asked as the number of demands from each group are far too many than he anticipated.

”We can begin.” Every elder agreed despite the Church of Life elders glancing every now and then towards the dark elves.

Unlike their species, the dark elves are just like any other elf except for the fact that they are more proficient in death energy. It is also the reason why their skin turned grayer in tone while their hairs became silver. Needless to say, they are still elves which means their beauty is still out of this world.

”Is there something in our faces, elders of the Church of Life?” A dark elf woman asked.

”We are sorry for the behavior of others. We rarely encounter dark elves as they are more secretive and rarely interact with others.” Elder Willow apologized for their rude behavior.

”Do not worry as we also find you very noticeable. At least, your elven brothers are more open compared to the Blood elves. They are rather too ingrained in their barbaric ways that one would think they are not of elven descent.” The dark elf elder that seemed to be their leader replied.

”I have reviewed what everyone has written but your demands are far too superfluent. Just like the first council that made up Harmony, we must summarize your demands in ten sentences. Each sentence must only say one thought. If the sentence has more than one demand that demand will be forfeited.” Levin Cloud stated and handed back the papers that is filled with more than thirty demands.

Adrian even saw the demands and even he judged them as outrageous due to the numerous words. He even spotted a sentence that recycled or conveyed the same idea as the sentence before it.

”Seriously, this old people are far too cunning and meticulous. I guess that age does make you bent in your ways. No wonder those old-fashioned people are hard to get along with.” Adrian thought as he suddenly received a request for help from his soulbounds.

His soulbounds are not contacting him because of difficulty but some monsters managed to slip past them. Even Adrian thought that the monsters that slipped through must be special as he knows Sirius and Kanlaon are strong for the monsters in this area.

”Maybe I can find a new soulbound from them. I just hope that they are interesting at least. I need soulbounds with great versatility as hard hitters are already present.” Adrian thought as he excused himself.

”I shall step away for a moment because some monsters from the horde slipped inside the town. Elder Ascalor is here anyway so I doubt that harm will fall upon you.” Adrian stated as he bowed.

”Go on. I can protect them by myself. Deal with the monsters that managed to escape.” Ascalor stated as he blushed a little because Adrian praised him.

The elders could protect themselves as well and they already sensed that no monster could hurt them. But that does not mean that the monsters cannot cause a ruckus, so they did not stop Adrian from going. They once again handed down the papers that listed their demands.

Levin Cloud analyzed the demands once more and could see that there are more in common than he thought. He smiled because he knew that these old fogeys would make it difficult for him as he is a candidate to become an envoy. They are testing him if he could actually handle them as an Envoy is a very high position in the church.

”It seems that all of you have more in common that you think. I count six rules that both churches have in common. The first one is that each church must present two representatives to the council.

No problem with that as it is tradition for one elder from each church of be a representative. We can increase the number to two as this will be a new council hopefully.” Levin Cloud stated as he enumerated the common demands.

The demands that are common is basically equal treatment to any member as a second demand. The third is that the other church must not interfere with the other side as long as their interest are not damaged.

The fourth is that there will be an exchange of teachings so that each church will have more appreciation towards the other. The fifth is that the two representatives from each church will not be elders of their church during their time as a representative. The sixth is that the representatives must change every century.

Since elves are a long-lived race, they decided that each representative must not hold onto their positions for too long. The wood elves can live a maximum of about 500 years while the dark elves could live to about 700 because they are proficient in death energy.

Levin Cloud then reviewed the four demands from each group that differed. The dark elves want to create a combined army for the church but the wood elves want for each church to mind their own business regarding guard details.

”As you all know, the Church of Life and Church of Death will cease to exist once the council is formed. The remaining elders of each church will become the jury that reacts or votes on the laws that the council will decide.” Levin Cloud stated which made each group flare up.

”You did not say anything about this!” An elder from the Church of Life reacted.

”I agree with the other side. We have been told that the Churches will not be touched.” An elder from the Church of Death shouted.

The powerful elders from each of the churches did not react because they can more or less feel that it would happen. Even they think it is a better alternative now because of the weakened status of their churches. They cannot survive just by having a mutual relationship, but they need to merge.

”Elder Narra, do you not have anything to say about this? Even Elder Willow must think that this is preposterous.” An elder rom the church of life stated.

”I am sure that you know that we no longer have the same prestige we have. Look at us now, we are the remaining elders that could lead the Church of Life. I am sure that the Church of Death is in the same boat as us.” Elder Willow stated as he looked towards the supposed leader of the other side.

”You are correct to assume that. All of us are now in the same boat and all of us will die if one side does not agree. I agree with the merge as the God of Death has already given us his oracle. The Prophet himself said so.” The leader of the elders of the Church of Death stated.

Every elder suddenly became silent and thought about their situations. As much as they do not want to agree, they have no choice in the matter. The Church of Death is sick of hiding from the world while the Church of Life is weakened to the point that they might disappear.

”Children, it seems that you are having a difficult decision due to our demands.”

”Do not call them children sister, they are already old.”

The elders looked at the source of the voices as they know it is from the Prophets. Levin Cloud is the first to bow and greet them.

”I greet the Twin Gods!” Levin Cloud stated as he knelt.
