After hearing the young man's words, Cardinal Loki was silent for a long time.
"……Humanity?"
Cardinal Loki finally couldn't help but sneered: "Can you be considered a human being, Bram?"
"If everyone who meets me thinks I'm human, then I am human."
The young man named Bram just smiled carelessly.
He was lying on the sofa with his legs crossed, and with a smile he raised his head and looked at Cardinal Loki who was standing in the middle of the room: "If you can be called an elf, then I can also be called a human, right?"
"——It's the opposite, right?"
Cardinal Loki said coldly: "If I can be called an elf, you should be called the Son of the Moon. And don't confuse me with you... I have been forgiven by the Secretary Zhu."
"Oh, forgiveness."
The young man imitated strangely, holding up his orchid fingers and pinching his throat: "Oh, forgive me!"
“—Bram Stoker!”
Cardinal Loki was immediately irritated by him, and red flames instantly ignited in his pupils. His hair like a gas stove roared and expanded, turning into a larger ball of flames.
The entire room was filled with red smoke, and the temperature rose rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He clenched his fists, took half a step forward, and roared in a low voice: "If you come to the Theocracy just to humiliate me, get out immediately!"
"This is my room, it's you who should get out, right?"
Bram said casually and lazily.
Upon hearing this, Cardinal Loki turned around and left without saying a word.
"—but in that case."
Bram's long words made Cardinal Loki gradually slow down and pause: "Xiong Tiansi's punishment of you in the future has nothing to do with me.
"As I just said, Utgaloch - the former patriarch of the Supreme Heaven. Even if you betrayed the Supreme Heaven and were able to get a job as a cardinal in the Theocracy, you are still a giant.
The divine blood of the Supreme Heaven is flowing in your body."
The young man looked at Cardinal Loki, who had his back turned to him, and sneered: "Betrayal? How naive, how can it be so easy to get rid of the relationship. Every past you don't want to recall will haunt you like a nightmare."
"...That's not considered betrayal."
The flame-haired cardinal said slowly: "No one knew back then that the Supreme God's throne could rise again after its collapse. You are just a short-lived person who has not experienced that era. You have no idea how strong the oppression of the White Dragon King is.
"
"So you ran away and betrayed your country and your blood."
Bram said cheerfully: "Fleeing before the battle - maybe even more than that. You were not liquidated by the Theocracy, so you must have made outstanding contributions to this war."
"This is called abandoning darkness and turning to light." Cardinal Loki turned around and said seriously.
"If you really thought so, you wouldn't do anything about 'Controlled Fire', Your Highness Prince Rocky." Bram said.
"...What about you, great writer?"
Cardinal Loki asked back: "You are from Avalon, but now you are serving the Supreme Heaven. How can you not betray your motherland and your origin?"
"Oh no no no no, at this moment, I am no longer an Avalonian. I am very flexible. Because I am also no longer a human... I am a noble vampire and an evil prophet of omens.
The son of the moon with dragon blood, the descendant of Count 'Dracula'——"
As the creator of the best-selling book "Dracula", Bram Stoker said leisurely while lying on the sofa.
"Child of the Moon? Ha."
But Cardinal Loki just looked at him with a sarcastic face: "It's just a stolen thing. You have no talent for the path of love, are you worthy of being called the Son of the Moon?"
"Why don't you?"
Bram's expression also became cold: "Come on, Lord Cardinal. You and I can meet each other only because of the kindness of Gray Sky Secretary. The power from 'lie' allowed me to steal the blood of the Son of the Moon, and also allowed me to steal the blood of the Son of the Moon."
You stole the body of an elf...but in the end, it was all just a lie.
"Lies can only be called truth when needed, and they are just lies at other times - I usually do not call myself the Moon Child. Every goblin and troll who knows me thinks that I am a human
No matter how it is tested, I am still 100% pure-blooded human being.
"What about you, Lord Cardinal? Do you still remember that you are actually a giant? A giant who can burst the ceiling here as long as you stand up? How long has it been since you changed back to your true self?
"Or...are you afraid that Xiong Tiansi will discover that you are still alive and punish you for your cowardly behavior of escaping from battle, so you dare not admit your status as a giant?"
"——Sharp teeth and sharp tongue!" Cardinal Loki angrily yelled.
"That's true. After all, I make money by writing books. If it doesn't hurt to curse people, wouldn't I lose my ability to express myself with words?"
Bram said proudly.
Obviously, Cardinal Loki will never leave again.
Although he was extremely reluctant, now that Bram had arrived here with Xiong Tiansi's order, he could no longer escape.
If he escapes again, Xiong Tiansi's claws will personally punish him.
At that time... will Si Zhu still protect him?
After all, he is just a giant, not a real elf.
Cardinal Loki sighed and sat opposite Bram.
"Tell me," he said coldly, "What exactly does Xiong Tiansi want to do with me?"
"Let me tell you something important first."
Bram did not answer his question, but said: "Xiong Tiansi is about to return to the position of Pillar God - did you know?"
"……Who?"
Cardinal Loki's heart moved.
His first reaction was - who is going to abdicate?
The Silver Crowned Dragon is at the height of its popularity, and almost all monarchs in the material world are trying to maintain the existence of the power of authority. Under such circumstances, it is basically impossible for the Supreme Heaven to regain its original position.
Not to mention the other pillar gods... there is no sign of decline at all.
In this case, it is impossible to defeat the Pillar God head-on. At most, he can only abdicate voluntarily.
"Father Snake."
Bram replied: "This is the highest level secret from the dream world - the snake father is planning to abdicate.
"Because He has reached the highest peak, and there is nothing that can be surpassed except amber. He is also tired of infinite self-transcendence, so he plans to abandon the position of Pillar God and repeat the pioneering act of transcendence. The highest position is empty.
If Lord Xuanwu can get the fragments of Huan Tiansi that are living in the world, he can step into the river of change and become a new Pillar God."
"Did you hear it yourself?"
"You don't really believe that I am a dream-monk, do you?"
Bram sneered: "That's just marketing to increase the sales of the novel. Apart from authority, transcendence and adaptation, I really have no other path. What's more, even if I were really a dream-walking monk, I would never hear this kind of thing.
thing."
"That sounds really scary."
The flame-haired cardinal commented: "The three-fold path of a professional - are you really not crazy?"
"Maybe. Maybe I'm already crazy, or maybe... I was already crazy when my father forced me to enter the Inspectorate."
Bram's pale face showed a strange smile: "But I have always been able to do anything. I am very flexible, unlike you. As heirs who have watched "The Spider's Silk Tantra", my understanding of lies is comparable.
You are much deeper, senior."
Cardinal Loki stopped asking where he learned about this, and just regarded it as a lie.
So he simply asked: "So? Where is the fragment of Huan Tiansi you mentioned?"
"In the Theocracy."
Bram replied: "This is the order Xiong Tiansi gave you - find him. Find the Avalonian named Aiwass Moriarty."
"Then... kill him?"
Cardinal Loki asked in a deep voice, clenching his fists subconsciously.
"No, then you have to mark his soul with a ritual or curse, and I will devour him personally in the dream world. If this matter is handled well, it will not affect your current identity at all.
"I heard that your Pope is in a coma? Then isn't this the best time? She can't see anything and the matter is over.
"——By the way, this matter has nothing to do with me at all. Don't even think about asking me to help you. I will come to the Theocracy to send you a message just because I happen to have business to discuss."
As he spoke, Bram pouted at the old troll next to the stove: "A benefactor asked him by name to trade from the Theocracy... Anyway, the balance hasn't arrived yet, so I'll use it first. Although Aiwass seems immune
Curse, but he should also be aware of it. With him as bait, the guy will definitely find it on his own.
"But I can't give you this bait. It would be bad if you break it. I still have to sell it for money."
"Oh, are you a great writer who buys and sells trolls?"
Cardinal Loki sneered.
Bram had no reaction at all: "By the way, I will be paid for letting you deliver the message. My Lord promises that after I find you, I can get the balance from you."
"...the final payment?"
Hearing this, Cardinal Loki's heart skipped a beat and he said in a deep voice, "What do you want?"
"Don't be nervous. What I want is your blood that was banned by Si Zhu... your giant blood, the divine blood from the highest heaven."
At this point, the famous writer's pupils turned blood red: "Just let me take a bite, Senior Rocky.
"Quietly, let me steal your [power], your [name], and your [identity] - at this moment, it is a mutually beneficial move, isn't it?
"The leader of Controlled Fire, Lord Cardinal... you don't want your followers to know that you are actually a giant, right?"
The room was already covered with gray spider silk at some point.
