Sol Vestitor: New Age of God

Chapter 56: The Meeting

Sol went to the meeting with Nerva in his arm, the looked like someone about to go for a family vacation.

Actually, he didn't want to bring her, but she insisted to join him when she knew it was about making a road toward the neighboring city.

She was anxious about her parent, they thought she had died, well she did die before, she hadn't contacted them since the upheaval, now there was a chance to meet them she needed to know.

"Dad, you want to meet Mommy Minerva right? We can go there together after the meeting" She convinced Sol to bring her along.

Sol had tried to meet with the Goddess a few times but she did not meet him, bringing Nerva with him would allow him to met her so he finally agreed with her.

The meeting was held at a newly built hall at the center of the twelve temples, the building was made for the sole purpose of the meeting between the most important people of the city.

When they got there, a few guards tried to stop them, "Halt! This area is restricted, you may not get in."

Sol was not wearing his iconic white coat as it was destroyed in his last fight, so they did not recognize him yet.

"I'm here for the meeting" Sol explained, he did not an invitation card so he did not have any proof with him.

The guard laugh at him, "I'm sorry, but this meeting is not for anyone," he replied politely.

The guard thought he was joking with them, everyone knew that the meeting was only attended by the leaders of the temple and they were familiar with them since they had been a guard there for a few months.

"Dad, are you sure they invite you?" Nerva pulled at his arm, she thought they might get to the wrong meeting.

This attracted the guard's attention, they were not paying attention to her before but now they do, they got a surprise.

Everyone in the city knew the little girl, silver hair with cat ears on her head, and looked very adorable, they knew her as the daughter of the heir killer.

They looked back at Sol in horror, "I'm sorry, Sir. We did not know it was you, please get inside, I'm the other would not mind you join the meeting." They hurriedly apologize.

They were afraid of Sol for his reputation and strength, in the current world power means everything so those in power could dispose of them easily, they did not have the gut to block his entry.

If the representative blamed them then they could reason that they tried to stop him but failed as everyone knew how strong he was.

When he got into the meeting room, everyone else was there already, he recognized Hilda and the priestess of Minerva but was unfamiliar with the other.

They seated on a big round table, Sol went toward the only available seat and take a seat on it, because there was no more seat so he put Nerva on his lap, her face turned bright red but she said nothing.

Everyone else looked at him with a strange look as if they were saying, "who the fuck bring a child into an important meeting?"

Sol had tried to play it cool but he could not help feeling awkward, "So are we starting?" he tried to change the atmosphere.

Sol made himself look serious and domineering, I did quite well because people think of him as almighty but it was hard because he was having a cute little girl on his lap.

"Well then, let's start our meeting," Hilda said with seriousness as well.

"I will tell you our agenda for today and what our plan is for this" she led the meeting.

"As everyone knows, we are going to reestablished a transportation route to our neighboring city," she started.

"We plan to ask Gods help for it, I talked with Mars the God of war, he said it was possible to build a teleportation gate that connects our city."

"but there is a catch in it, we need to deliver an urn of soil from here to the neighboring city and bring back another urn of soil from there.

"Anyone has an opinion?" she looked at everyone slowly.

"What is our purpose in building this gate? From my perspective, they were just bringing us a political problem, we would need to compromise with their government and all" an old man talked first.

"I think this gate is a good idea, we could reestablish trade and help each other in crisis" a girl in glasses replied, "if we got another crisis we could use the gate to evacuate people"

They start to argue whether they stabilize the gate or not, the temples were split into two groups, one group led by the temple of Jupiter was against the plan and another led by the temple of Mars and Vulcan was agreed with the plan.

"let's take a vote to decide" they decided.

Six of them were against the plan and the other six agreed to it, everyone looked at Sol as he was the tiebreaker if he agreed then they could continue but if he disagreed then the meeting would end.

Honestly, he wanted to abstain from it as he didn't have any political need, but it didn't seem like they would let him abstain from it.

Sol was about to give his vote but Nerva pulled at his clothes, he ducked down so she could whisper to him.

"Dad please agreed to the plan," she said what she wanted, Sol had thought it was what Minerva told her to say to him so he just nodded at her.

"I agreed with the plan, let's continue on the meeting" He voted in conviction.

Everyone else in the room was annoyed, they noticed how he had just changed his answer because of Nerva, for them it was just like letting a little kid vote in the meeting.

"Fuck, this is an important meeting and he let a child decide for him!" they cursed silently at him.
