Hearing Howard's words, Allen suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart, because the characteristics of "fat man", "axe", and "enemies of the Church of Light" all reminded him of a man he had met once.
people.
He immediately stood up, came to the window, and looked down.
Then he discovered that his guess was indeed correct. The fat man downstairs who was fighting with a group of soldiers from the Church of the Light was indeed the sloppy-looking, alcohol-loving grocery store owner he met in the small town of Cambridge a few weeks ago.
"Did Ariel drink too much again?" Alan frowned slightly and thought to himself.
But now, after experiencing so many things, Allen would not regard Ariel's behavior as purely drunken and crazy like he did before.
After all, the identity of "Messenger" also appeared in the memory fragments left to him by the God of Darkness.
In addition, perhaps because he has received the complete inheritance of the God of Darkness, now that he is standing on the tower, he can sense the divine aura on Ariel from a distance, as obvious as a lighthouse in the night.
.
Without even thinking about it, he knew that the reason why Ariel came to the capital from the small town of Cambridge must have something to do with him.
It's just... this guy probably drank too much and hurt his brain!
He walked all the way to the capital without concealing his aura of divine favor, so it was natural for him to be targeted by the Church of Light.
Thinking of this, Allen sighed silently, feeling helpless.
He knew that the Church of Light had deep-rooted power in the capital of the kingdom, covering the sky with one hand. Although he was temporarily at a disadvantage, as long as reinforcements arrived, Ariel, no matter how strong his personal combat effectiveness was, could not be an opponent of the Church of Light.
And in full view of the public, in order to conceal his identity, it was impossible for Allen to help him in this kind of matter.
"Howard, let's go down and take a look!" After thinking for a moment, Allen said to Howard next to him.
"I remember that you are not a person who likes to watch the excitement." Howard smiled.
"That's because there was no excitement worth watching before." Allen responded.
Afterwards, the two of them walked out of the room together, walked down the tower along the high spiral staircase, and came to the open space in front of the Mage Tower. There, a group of students from the Mage Tower were already watching.
As Allen walked, he concentrated on ways to break the situation.
At this moment, a group of reinforcements arrived from the Church of Light, and the battle with Ariel became increasingly fierce.
However, it seems that the arrival of this batch of reinforcements inspired Ariel's fighting spirit. The black mist wrapped around his body became thicker and thicker, and the ax wielded in his hand became more and more powerful, carrying the sound of the whistling wind, coming and going like a whirlwind.
electricity.
Ariel obviously also noticed Allen's arrival.
He clearly felt that as the "Lord Messenger" approached step by step, the divine power in his body began to boil, and the strength of the ax became much stronger. Even the skinny donkey he was riding on
With the blessing of the divine power, he seemed to have turned into a majestic horse with windy hooves; he showed no fear in the face of dozens of soldiers of the Church of Light armed with spears.
He turned his head and caught a glimpse of the handsome young man. He was so surprised and happy that he almost shouted "Sir Messenger".
In Ariel's view, "Lord Messenger" has been working hard on the revival of the Dark Temple recently. The fact that the other party can take time out of his busy schedule to pay attention to him shows that the other party is kind and thinks highly of him.
He could not wait to throw down the ax in his hand, run to the "Lord Messenger", beg the other party to forgive him for his decadence and inaction some time ago, and take the initiative to share the other party's worries. No matter what order the "Lord Messenger" gave, even if it meant going up mountains of swords and seas of fire.
, he will follow it without complaint.
However, the moment the two looked at each other, Allen shook his head slightly.
Ariel immediately fell silent, pretended that nothing happened, and continued to fight with the soldiers of the Church of Light.
At this time, several more priests hurriedly came from Hagia Sophia.
They were holding copies of the "Bible of Light", chanting words in their mouths, and emitting milky white holy light. They were obviously performing magical arts.
Seeing such a scene, Allen understood that the Church of Light was about to use its real power.
"Who is this person?" Alan asked, pretending not to know.
Someone from the crowd of onlookers immediately replied: "Look, this man has black mist billowing from his body. He is a heretic who believes in the God of Darkness. As a cultist, he dares to act arrogantly in the capital. He deserves to be purified by the goddess's holy light."
"
"But... are the average believers of the Dark God so powerful in combat?" Allen frowned, pretending to be worried, "If this is the case, what if they break through the far north ice sheet and come to the interior of the kingdom, wouldn't we have to
Did something happen?"
"Of course it's impossible," the man responded with a smile, "How can ordinary fish be so strong? I guess... this man should be a big shot even in the Dark Temple. Unfortunately, I am still a magic apprentice.
, you can't beat him, otherwise killing him will definitely be a great achievement."
Hearing this, Allen looked even more worried.
"But the problem is...are the big shots in the Dark Temple really stupid enough to dare to come to the capital just to show off?" He lowered his head and said, "The people in the Dark Temple have always been scheming...I'm really worried.
What conspiracy are they plotting to do harm to the residents of the capital... and to us."
"Yes," someone immediately agreed, "my grandma told me a story before, saying that cultists often sacrifice human life and blood to welcome the evil god. Maybe this person wants to seek death himself, and then let the evil god come to the capital!"
"The evil god is coming...that should be terrifying!"
"I heard that whoever the evil god looks at will die. And his purpose is to completely transform this plane into hell."
Allen glanced at them silently, laughing secretly in his heart.
Then he took a deep breath, walked out of the crowd, and came to the priests holding the "Light Canon".
The clergy naturally remembered Allen, the son of a big moneymaker.
Seeing Allen walking this way, they all stopped in front of Allen to prevent him from being hurt by the black mist on Ariel's body.
"Mr. York, be careful! It's dangerous here!"
Allen stopped obediently, then nodded slightly and said: "Everyone, please forgive me for interrupting. My companions and I just feel that...the Dark Temple cannot send such a powerful person to the capital just to show off its power.
, there must be an ulterior motive. Perhaps... we should ask Bishop Nerga to handle this matter personally and dig out the secrets from this person's mouth to prevent the Dark Temple's conspiracy from succeeding."
Several priests looked at each other, nodded, and approved what he said.
Ariel looked confused, obviously not expecting the "Lord Messenger" to say such a thing.
