Chapter 861: The Serpent's Past and the Position of Director
Chapter 861: The Serpent's Past and the Position of Director
Wow, what a mess they've made of this... It seems like the Taurus Director and the others have indeed been tormented by the Capricorn Director's sharp tongue these past few days.
Looking at the 'Silence Bean's' ability column, where 'Silence Voice (Capricorn)', 'Silence Word (Capricorn)', and 'Silence Eye (Capricorn)' were listed as "exclusive" abilities, Lyon couldn't help but twitch his lips. He quickly picked up the bean and hastily stuffed it into his ear.
Whoosh! The sky was high, and the clouds were light, with the sun and moon shining brightly!
In the instant the 'Silence Bean' took effect, the entire world became much more pleasant. The demonic sound that had been assaulting his soul through his ears was instantly banished from the world, and everything returned to tranquility.
Even more wonderful was that not only was the brain-piercing demonic sound excluded, but even the person emitting the sound was appropriately 'excluded,' completely losing the ability to disturb others.
At this moment, in Lyon's field of vision, the Capricorn Director was directly blurred into a mosaic, with only his flapping lips still moving up and down. Even the specific shape was a bit unclear, and if he increased his power output, he could make the director completely disappear from his sight.
No wonder the Sagittarius Director could ignore the Capricorn Director; it seemed he had maximized the 'Block' effect, directly blocking out the entire person.
Lyon exchanged a knowing glance with the Sagittarius Director, then looked at the Capricorn mosaic's lips, which were quivering like a little bee. He then rationally chose to trust the judgment of the elder, maximizing his 'Block Level' as well, bringing complete silence to the world.
You guys are something else... At least leave a silhouette.
Lyon glanced at the other directors, and a silent understanding seemed to pass between them. The Taurus Director, understanding what they had done, shook his head helplessly and spoke up.
"Since everyone who could return is here, let's begin."
As the Taurus Director announced, the round table where the directors sat lit up. In front of each person, a small patch of golden starry patterns appeared, and under the golden sun's glow in the center of the table, they emitted a dazzling golden light like a solar halo.
These must be the markings corresponding to each star palace.
Lyon looked at the golden pattern of the Aquarius pushing a dung ball in front of him and couldn't help but glance at the patterns in front of the others. He once again wore a strained expression.
Pisces Pursuing Dungball, Leo Rolling Dungball, Taurus Butting Dungball, Centaur Shooting Dungball, Capricorn Embracing Dungball with a ram's head and fish's body, and a dung beetle with two huge crab claws...
Come to think of it, if I didn't see these markings, I'd almost forget that the Purification Bureau's emblem is a sacred beetle pushing a dung ball.
According to the Red-Haired Director, this symbolizes that the Purification Bureau, like the sacred beetle, cleans up pollutants and gains nourishment and strength from them. It sounds reasonable, but these star palace patterns with dung balls are a bit too abstract...
Wait, there are only six people at the table, why are seven star palace patterns lit up?
"Hmm?"
As the markings lit up one after another, the others also seemed to notice something amiss. They all fixed their gazes on the lit-up Leo Constellation Pattern, and the lion with a dung ball on the table flickered before a bold and hearty male voice emerged from it.
"Ahaha! Where the hell are you running? Come back! Fight me!!!"
As the voice fell, the Leo Pattern dimmed, with only occasional bursts of excited laughter, joyful roars, and a series of wails and cries from unidentified creatures.
"..."
"It's nothing. Leo is guarding the Chaos Shattered Realm, and the rules there were shattered by the Third Generation Director. It's not fully in sync with reality, so I guess he was fighting and suddenly connected to us. We don't need to pay him any mind."
After gesturing to disregard Leo, the Taurus Director surveyed the chairs around the table, her expression filled with a hint of sentiment.
"It's truly rare... It's been a long time since we've gathered more than six directors. I remember the last time we had this many people was... um..."
As she spoke, she seemed to recall something, and she couldn't help but glance at Lyon before quickly changing the subject. Her voice was gentle as she asked,
"Lyon, this is your first time attending a director's meeting. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, and I'll try my best to answer them."
"Thank you."
Lyon nodded gratefully at the Taurus Director, who had always shown him great care. Looking at the thirteen chairs around the round table, he curiously inquired,
"Honorable Taurus, do these thirteen chairs represent the positions of the twelve directors and the director?"
"Yes, but not entirely."
At Lyon's question, the Taurus Director shook her head, her expression growing complex.
"The Bureau actually has thirteen director positions. The Serpent Director's association with the Sunshade is only half that of the other directors, and the position is concurrently held by the Zodiac Director of the Serpent Bureau. That thirteenth chair doesn't belong to the director but to the Serpent Director."
"However, some events transpired later. The Serpent Bureau, along with the entire East Carlevan Kingdom, was destroyed, and the Serpent Bureau was almost entirely removed, just like the Gemini Bureau. It hasn't been filled to this day."
"Additionally, the Serpent Palace's Anomaly Transmutation secret technique is quite unique, requiring a special talent to merge with anomalies to learn it. Finding a suitable candidate is extremely challenging, so the director's seat remains vacant as well."
Serpent Director... Serpent Devouring Country, Massacre Bloodhair?
Noticing the Taurus Director's somber expression, Lyon immediately understood why she had hesitated earlier. It seemed that the last time six directors had gathered was when their director had turned the Thirteen Ant Nests into the Twelve Ant Nests.
Please... Support_6191Book_Bar!
Lyon, sensing the Taurus Director's low spirits and the silence of the other directors, understood that they didn't want to discuss this matter. After some thought, he took the initiative to change the subject.
"Then what about the director? If there's no chair for the director, does that mean the director doesn't participate in director meetings?"
"No, the director will also join the meeting if present."
After listening to Lyon's question, the Taurus Director shook her head slightly and then pointed to the slowly rotating Solar Shadow in the center of the table.
"This table is made according to the Zodiac layout. The director has the authority to mobilize the entire Sunshade, and so they are considered the Sun itself. Their position is right in the middle of the Sunshadow."
"..."
The center of the Sunshadow...
Lyon was momentarily stunned and then looked at the slowly rotating Sunshadow in the center of the round table. He couldn't help but twitch his mouth again.
So, that's sitting on the table! During previous meetings, you all sat around, and then the director just lay in the middle of the table, listening to your discussions? If there were some food on the table and each of you held a pair of chopsticks and a sauce dish, wouldn't this scene be unapprovable?
Just as Lyon was feeling a bit exasperated, the Leo pattern on the opposite side of the table flashed, and Leo's voice boomed with a generous and bold evaluation.
"Haha, dip away!"
