On the steps in front of Hagia Sophia, a figure loomed in the dim light.
Although his vision was blurry, Allen could still recognize the man's identity at a glance.
"This guy is still up in the middle of the night, and he actually comes out and wanders around..." Alan complained silently in his heart.
Of course, since you have seen it, you can't avoid it. But Allen is still thinking about why Howard knew that he would come to Hagia Sophia tonight, and how he should explain to Howard about borrowing the teleportation array.
After a while, the carriage slowly stopped at the door of the church.
Isabella jumped down from the coachman's seat and wanted to help Allen out of the car, but Allen waved his hand, refused her help, and walked towards the church on his own.
Even if he is extremely weak at this time, he cannot show his vulnerability and nervousness in front of anyone.
"What are you doing out here without sleeping in the middle of the night?" As soon as he saw Howard, Allen was the first to say with a smile.
"It's not because of the good things you have done," Howard shook his head helplessly, "Alan, you should know that in order to ensure public security, the church has recently begun to implement curfew measures. Your family's carriage wandered around the street several times, and was naturally stopped by the soldiers.
Noticed it and reported it to me."
Then at this moment, Howard's eyes fell on Allen's face.
Under the cold moonlight, he looked like a ghost.
"Your face looks like this"
"Something went wrong during the magic experiment." Allen interrupted him lightly.
Howard was doubtful.
He originally wanted to ask Allen if he needed to use Holy Light to heal his injuries, but he suddenly remembered that Allen seemed to particularly hate Holy Light.
"Have you ever seen a doctor?" Howard thought for a while and finally said something inappropriate.
"It'll be fine in two days. The doctor can't help," Allen said calmly. "There's something going on at home now. I want to use the Light Church's teleportation array to go back to the territory."
"What kind of thing? Can I help?"
"Little things. I can handle them myself."
"Don't be careless! Look at your face, it's like"
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Allen raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a bright smile.
At the same time, a villain secretly roared in Allen's heart: Howard, you bastard, can you say a few words less? I'm in a hurry!
"Okay then," Howard finally stepped aside, "next time you do experiments, let's do what we can."
Allen said a faint "hmm", called Isabella, and walked towards the teleportation array with head held high.
Before leaving, he said lightly: "Howard, time is tight. After I return to the territory, I should go directly to open up a new dimension. I'm sorry that I can't see you off."
"It's okay. Just think it's me seeing you off today!"
Howard watched his back disappear at the end of the corridor. He always felt that something was wrong with Allen today, but he couldn't explain the reason.
As for Allen, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief after he was completely out of Howard's sight.
To be honest, sometimes Howard's intuition is frighteningly accurate, and Allen is really worried that Howard will find clues about him.
This guy is very nervous.
What if Howard really found out that he was not going to die soon...
I'm afraid I'll be scared out of my wits!
…………
A few minutes later, Allen and Isabella came to the room where the teleportation array was located.
A golden light curtain surrounded the teleportation array, blocking the two people from entering it.
Perhaps because of his physical weakness, the aura of Holy Light that he was not afraid of originally made him feel particularly uncomfortable today.
Allen thought for a while and said the password Howard told him:
"The Hammer of Judgment."
After he finished speaking, the golden light curtain was like a curtain opened by a bamboo pole, splitting to both sides, revealing a narrow passage that was only big enough for one person to pass through.
Allen stretched out his hand to block the dazzling light and walked in first.
Isabella followed closely behind.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them disappeared into the teleportation array together.
…………
The feeling of traveling through space through the teleportation array is not comfortable.
Allen felt as if he had been forced into a transparent water pipe, being pushed away by the invisible tide, and the surrounding scenery flashed away, as if it were a dazzling neon light.
When his vision became clear again, he found himself in a small room with a simple style.
This is a small church on the territory of the York family, less than a mile away from the family castle.
As for the portal to other planes, it is in the open space behind the York family castle.
It was late at night, the priests were still sleeping, and the church was empty.
"Come home with me first," Allen said to Isabella, "I have to go back and get something first."
Isabella nodded and followed him.
But when they arrived at the York family's castle, Isabella was waiting quietly outside the door and did not follow them in.
She knew that at this time, Allen needed some space of his own.
This is the first time since Allen traveled to this world to return to this castle that left too many memories for the original owner of the body.
Back and forth, the time is less than one summer.
But in Allen's perception, it was extremely long. Both the Braden Kingdom and himself had undergone earth-shaking changes.
When he left, he was just an aristocratic kid who was addicted to magic and did not do his job properly. He spent his days dreaming about unreasonable things and living a simple and carefree life.
And when he came back, he became one of the most powerful people hiding in the darkness in this kingdom, carrying a heavy burden on his shoulders, and there were many strange and familiar memories in his mind.
It can be said that everything in the world is unpredictable.
He sighed softly and walked along the steps towards his room.
During this time, the room still maintained its original appearance
Off-white wallpaper, gorgeous chandeliers, soft carpets, and magic introductory books piled in the corner.
Because Earl William often asked servants to clean it, even though no one had lived here for a long time, it was still clean and spotless, and everything was as new as before.
Allen came to the desk, opened the drawer, took out the "Evil God's Notes" that had changed his destiny, and opened it gently.
The blue moonlight fell on the old paper, making the few lines on it particularly clear:
"O, my eternal dark lord,
"Fatherbeings,
"Rulerwraiths."
If he remembered correctly, the original owner of the body should have recited these prayers including these sentences in order to obtain magical talent, and then something unexpected happened.
So...is all this really a coincidence?
Allen frowned slightly.
Inadvertently, he suddenly discovered that next to these lines of words, there was a line of small words with a very light color. If you didn't look carefully, it would be difficult to notice the existence of this line of words.
