Chapter 118 European Residency of the Council

Time passes quickly.

August 15th.

This month is still quite difficult for many cities in the northern hemisphere. It is the end of summer. Girls will wear shorts to reveal their long and tight thighs, while men like to drink cold beer with friends at night and talk loudly.

Of course, today, the Temple and the Council of Earth's Destiny occupy the absolute mainstream of topics. People talk about the Ring, the Extraordinary, and the Council's growing power. They lament that less than two months have passed, and this fucked-up world

It has completely changed.

During this period, explosive news continued to wreak havoc on people's nerves: a borer nest appeared in a certain city; a certain country cut off part of its military power to the council; the temple gave the council incredible magical materials and allowed them to use them.

Modern scientific methods to study extraordinary powers...

The Earth's Destiny Council is growing crazily, gradually taking over global power at an unprecedented speed.

However, while the world is changing, chaos has not unexpectedly increased much more than usual. Especially in August, the hot weather can make people irritable and cause the crime rate to soar.

But Francesco Ricci felt that the years were peaceful. Even when patrolling the streets boringly, and the summer heat caused a layer of fine sweat beads to form on his skin, he still felt in a good mood.

The reason is very simple. The crime rate in Florence where he works is too low recently. As a local policeman, he only needs to symbolically look left and right and patrol fixed streets every day. He will not receive any reports at all.

The biggest case accepted today is to help the elderly Mrs. Alana find her lost pet cat.

The low crime rate can be attributed to the excellent governance capabilities of the city's top officials, the relatively high moral standards of residents, or the fact that people live a prosperous life and do not need to rob or steal.

But everyone knows that there is only one important reason for the sharp decline in Florence’s crime rate——

Last week, August 10th, Florence became one of the seven locations of the Earth Destiny Council!

Each of the world's seven continents will select a city to serve as the seat of the Earth Destiny Council.

After becoming the seat of the Council, the city will serve as a "world public territory" and be separated from the original country's administrative system. Legally, sovereignty belongs entirely to the Council.

It sounds incredible, but in modern society, part of a country's territory can be taken away without any concern for sovereignty.

But if you think about it carefully, this phenomenon is reasonable: the Earth's Destiny Council obeys the orders of the temple upwards, and governs secular power downwards. Although it is still "young", it is indeed a born "emperor" and can do almost anything.

.

However, even if the resident city becomes the Council's exclusive "World Public Territory", the Council will sign a "World Public Territory Escrow Agreement" with the country before settling in, and "affiliate" the resident city back to the original country.

At first glance, their powers of public security and tax collection are similar to before.

Of course, even if there seems to be no change on the surface, the deep-seated impact is still great. The sudden drop in crime rate in Florence is the best proof.

In this era when the temple was born, no one with a little bit of "becoming extraordinary" in their mind would dare to act wild in front of the temple. Even the council has become a respected organization. Even if they are repeat offenders, they will not dare to act wildly in front of the temple.

A crime will be committed under the watchful eyes of the council.

——Everyone is eager to wear a ring, even if they know that it is only a miracle with a small probability.

I would not commit any petty theft, for fear of entering the temple's blacklist and losing the opportunity to wear the ring.

Due to the above reasons, Francesco is living quite comfortably these days.

Today, as usual, he put on his local police uniform and patrolled in the sunshine.

Florence is a city full of culture. As one of the core areas of the Renaissance, even the air seems to be filled with the flavor of humanistic romance. Take a look at the most proud place in this city: the Uffizi Gallery

, Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, Piazza Michelangelo...

However, no matter how romantic it is, it is still hot when it should be. Florence can be classified as a humid subtropical climate. August was so hot and humid that Francesco's police uniform was almost soaked through when he patrolled half the street.

The area he is responsible for is peaceful and peaceful. Not to mention crimes, not even the pet cat has gone missing.

Francesco bought a cup of iced coffee knowingly and hid in the shade to rest quietly.

Such a boring day passed quickly. In the evening, when it was time for Francesco to get off work, he changed into his regular clothes and drove home.

Francesco, who is twenty-five years old this year, lives with his parents. This is not common in Europe. People who have been adults for a period of time still live with their parents under the same roof are usually considered to be "not mature and independent enough."

performance.

But Francesco didn't take it seriously. He believed that living with his parents was the happiest thing in the world. He was not married, so why should the relationship be so estranged? He even felt that the "independent thinking" of the West was a bit too crazy, and it was inconsistent with

It is not illegal for parents to live together.

"My dear little Richie." The mother, wearing an apron and with gray hair, hugged her only son with a smile and said half-jokingly:

"Go take a shower. It stinks so bad. I can even smell your hair being burned by the sun."

"Exaggerated, mother." Francesco sniffed his sleeves and obediently went to the room to wash up.

Not long after, Francesco changed into clean clothes and came out. His father, Leonardo Ricci, was still reading the newspaper on the sofa.

On the most conspicuous section of the newspaper, there was a breaking news titled "Official members of the Temple will come to Florence to inspect the preparations for the establishment of the Council for the Destiny of the Earth."

A formal member of the temple is coming? This thought flashed through Francesco's mind, and he threw it behind him in a flash. That kind of big shot was too far away from him, and there was no possibility of any interaction. There was nothing to think about.

Old Richie put down the newspaper when his wife called him, and the family of three sat at the dining table, enjoying the delicious food.

Dinner is the most important meal for the locals. The Rich family is accustomed to chatting and connecting with each other at this time. In addition to the home-brewed wine, the dishes are also extremely rich. There are various appetizers before the meal, such as some nut snacks, and then

Various seafood, pasta, meat, etc., and finally salads and desserts.

In this way, the young local policeman and his elderly parents had dinner together and chatted about the interesting things that happened during the day.

Whenever this happens, Francesco will sincerely lament the beauty of life and pray that such happy days will last forever.
