Chapter 1135 - D459: Engraving
A few days later.
In the Grand Ceremony Hall of the Holy City Cathedral, this meeting hall typically accessible only to the church's higher-ups was often not filled to capacity during its previous uses. But today, the hall was packed and bustling.
Above the central platform, a line of large, shimmering golden characters, flowing with Holy Light, indicated the unique nature of this meeting.
——Kingdom's First Magic Medical Engineering Conference and Saintess Medical Summit.
The Hero seated at the main position glanced around at the numerous attendees present, satisfactorily tapping the table, the crisp sound breaking the whispers within the room.
"Great! Is everyone here?"
"Your Highness, all invited participants are in attendance." The Innocent rose elegantly to host the meeting.
She smiled, nodded at the Hero, then turned to the crowd, her gentle and clear voice echoing beneath the dome: "Firstly, I am honored to host this inaugural 'Kingdom Medical Summit.' I am the Nun representative of the Faithful Sect. Please allow me to introduce today's main attendees…
"First, the secretary representative." The Hero's grandfather, sitting in the first row below the platform, stood at the call. His weathered face was tightly drawn, nodding rigidly.
After sitting down, the grandfather also glanced around, a hint of discomfort appearing on his face.
Is there really a need for him to attend such occasions?
But, as if seeing through his thoughts, the village chief grandma beside him glanced over, conveying silently: Isn't it about researching customs related to the Saintess? How could one miss such an important event?
Understanding the silent message from his childhood friend, the grandfather sighed helplessly and then adopted a solemn demeanor, sitting upright, taking out a notebook and feather pen, ready to record this memorable, inaugural conference convened after his granddaughter officially became the Saintess.
"Next is the family representative." Rising in the first row, the Seventh Prince, with impeccable posture, greeted those around.
With the delegations from various countries departed and the old king having returned to the Capital for official business, it fell to him to participate as the Royal Family's representative.
Although the conference was hastily convened due to the Saintess's sudden whim, its scale and nature were not to be trivialized, with his family involved, his expression was also quite serious.
"Then, the Church Court medical representative—"
As the Innocent read out the powerful names one by one—Star Kindness Cardinal, beneath the Pope, Border Count, Mechanical City Lord, Holy City Medical Association Chairman, and the top Priests and Healers from nationwide—the atmosphere within the venue grew increasingly solemn.
"Following which is…" The Innocent paused slightly, her expression becoming a bit nuanced, then continued in a steady tone:
"These two, are the Elf representatives invited by Lady Saintess."
On the platform, beside the Hero, a dark blue shadow quietly surged; this was the most senior Great Hunter from the Hunter's Library, now approaching the stature of a Great Demon.
Beside it was a slightly smaller, equally profound presence of the same tribe… the one that interacted most with the Hero.
This scene caused several attendees' faces to tense up, clearly striving not to react impolitely.
Most participants are strong individuals with formidable skills, some possessing Taboo Knowledge, naturally understanding something about beings like the Knowledge Hunters.
Whether successfully escaping, repelling, or failing to evade… witnessing these two Knowledge Hunters joining a human meeting like this openly stretched everyone's boundaries of understanding.
'It's said Lady Saintess has control over the Knowledge Hunter tribe, even in the Alien Machinery City it was…'
Despite being a quiet meeting, whispered murmurs were inevitable, causing the Mechanical City Lord's little face sitting in the front row to pale slightly, being the current sole representative from Alien Machinery City having "treated" the Magic Dissociation.
Yet recalling the scene in the Core Tower, where the fortress that had protected him since birth, believed never to be broken, was suppressed with one punch, the boy couldn't help but shrink his neck.
Contrarily, the grandfather was thoroughly composed, showing a habitual calm demeanor.
"Then, the Fourteenth Princess." The Innocent's introduction continued, as the Fourteenth Princess gracefully rose to bow.
After naming the key attendees, the Innocent's voice lifted slightly, imbued with reverence and pride:
"Finally, is our Shining World Saintess."
Enthusiastic applause erupted, echoing throughout the hall.
The Hero stood up, nodding frequently in acknowledgment.
However, next to her, the Fourteenth Princess couldn't help but reveal a trace of anxiety in her expression.
After the introductory remarks concluded, the conference was about to officially commence.
All present were gathered by the Hero's call, for her sake. Despite witnessing numerous grand occasions in diplomatic fields, this scene still brought her the rare feeling of nervousness.
As the Hero sat back down and the applause subsided, the radiant Star Kindness Cardinal rose and spoke loudly:
"Now, on behalf of Lady Saintess, I will expound on the core concept of this meeting.
"The primary agenda of this conference is to establish a treatment plan for the Fourteenth Princess's congenital rare disease—'Magic Dissociation.'
"Although the current clinical case only involves the Princess, the conference is scheduled to annually continue as a regular church activity.
