Merlins looked at Raphael calmly: "Exploring the truth is the lifelong dream and pursuit of every mage. Angels like you naturally cannot understand their choices."
"In that case, Merlins, why don't you go to thousands of planes to explore the so-called truth after being promoted to legend like them?" Angel Raphael smiled slightly and looked at Merlins with playful eyes.
road.
Hearing this, Merlins had a vague premonition in his mind, but he still refused to be outdone and said: "In this plane, I still have unfulfilled responsibilities - before I leave, I have to make sure
To ensure the safety of the students in the Mage Tower, I must also pass on my knowledge to my students."
"You have a responsibility. Don't your ancestors have any responsibility?" Raphael raised his voice slightly and continued, "Are they really ruthless and irresponsible people who gave up for the so-called truth?
Everything in the moment?”
"I'm not sure about that," Merlins said lightly.
At this moment, Merlins has roughly felt that the legendary mage ancestors left their original planes and never came back, and there may be a huge conspiracy hidden in them.
And now, it's finally my turn.
"Mellins, let me tell you the answer," Raphael said with a smile, "They were exiled."
Merlins' expression suddenly changed.
Because at this time, he clearly felt that his connection with the original plane was cut off, and the surrounding crystal walls of the plane had become extremely strong and could no longer be easily penetrated.
In other words, he is now trapped in the gap between the planes forever and can never go back.

Papal Circle, Cathedral of Light.
This is the day Howard became Cardinal.
Although Howard had heard about this incident from Clark Andric and had been mentally prepared for it, when he realized that he was about to become the focus of a large group of people's attention, he still felt
Somewhat uneasy.
Especially this morning, when two monks suddenly appeared in Howard's room, preparing to help Howard change into the cardinal's red robe, Howard was startled and felt extremely embarrassed.
"You... just leave your clothes there and let me do it myself, okay?" Howard raised his head and looked at the two monks with pleading eyes, looking rather pitiful.
If Allen were here and saw Howard like this, he would definitely complain: Why is this guy's social phobia getting worse and worse?
"Yes, Lord Bishop." The two monks agreed in unison, and then silently stepped aside.
After confirming that no one was in the room, Howard picked up the bishop's red robe, studied it for a long time, and then put it on seriously.
Then, he came to the mirror and checked his robe up and down again, making sure that not a single button was buttoned incorrectly, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After that, Howard came to the church hall under the guidance of the monks.
Pope Paul II sits on a high throne at the end of the hall.
Behind the Pope is a tall statue of the Goddess of Light.
Following the ritual procedure, Howard came to Pope Paul II, knelt down on one knee, and kissed the ring on the Pope's hand that symbolized the power of the Church of Light. The Pope put on Howard's cardinal's four-cornered hat and golden ring.
When Howard stood up, melodious and beautiful hymns rang out in the church hall.
But for some reason, Howard felt something was wrong as he looked at this magnificent and beautifully decorated hall and the monks who nodded to him.
To be precise, it was a premonition of danger.
And this premonition seemed to come from the descending angel named Raphael - ever since Raphael's arrival, Howard felt that he had a soul connection with him, and could vaguely detect the other person's emotions.
position and actions.
So, for the first time, Howard mustered up the courage and turned to the Pope and said, "Your Majesty, what is the purpose of the angel Raphael coming to earth this time?"
"Of course it is to help us eliminate heretics and spread the glory of the goddess to every corner of this plane." The pope said in an indifferent tone.
"Heresy..." Howard muttered this word silently in his mind.
The pope's answer was very vague, but it made Howard suddenly alert.
He felt that Raphael had bad intentions.
But he also knew that with his current abilities, no matter what the Pope or Raphael wanted to do, they could not stop it.
Unconsciously, a sentence that the legendary mage Merlins once said to him suddenly appeared in his mind: "When you find the original "Light Canon" in the hands of the Pope, you will know everything.
The truth, and then find the power that truly belongs to you."
Howard hesitated for a moment, and then asked the Pope again: "So, His Majesty the Pope, can you lend me the Book of Light?"
After hearing his words, Pope Paul II showed a meaningful smile on his face, as if Howard's request was completely expected.
"Of course, no problem," the pope replied with a smile without hesitation, "after the ceremony is over, you come with me."
Seeing the Pope's attitude, Howard vaguely felt that he seemed to have become a fish caught by the other party.
But he could no longer regret it.

Plane of Payne, Castle Greyhawk.
After Allen ended his meeting with Lucas, he left the tavern and found Isabella in an alley behind the tavern.
At this moment, the saint of the Dark Temple turned into a plain-dressed and ordinary-looking peasant girl, blending in with the crowd and not attracting anyone's attention at all.
"Mr. Messenger, have all your matters been resolved?" As soon as she saw Allen, Isabella walked towards him with a smile.
"It's all solved," Allen nodded, "Mayfield McNeil is indeed an ambitious little kid, but it's a pity that his ability does not match his ambition."
"Then what are your plans next?" Isabella asked, "I think with your current ability, it is more than enough to deal with that little brat!"
"The little kid has never been the key, the key is his vassals," Allen said lightly, "I want to know now, how many of these people are truly loyal to the king, and how many are just pursuing interests.
.I think...the benefits that Mayfield I can give them, the Dark Temple can give him even more."
Isabella was thoughtful.
It turns out that the messenger's plan is to poach the king and turn him into a polished commander!
