The pope led a drizzle of rain. Looking out the window, the whole world was hazy, shrouded in the pale moonlight.
Howard stayed alone in his room.
He sat in an armchair, leaning against the window, staring blankly at the moonlight outside the window, silent.
Ever since he walked into the secret room under the Cathedral of Light and read the original version of the "Bible of Light", he has been in this state of trance.
On the one hand, the memory belonging to the angel Lucifer has just been revived and has been stirring in the depths of Howard's mind, instigating him to destroy the Temple of Darkness and kill the heir to the God of Darkness.
On the other hand, Howard's memories from this life are still hesitant - he is still unwilling to believe that his best friend is actually the heir of an evil god.
"I just don't know when Allen will come back," Howard thought silently, "When he comes back, I will personally ask him about the situation. If he really becomes an evil god who does all kinds of evil, I will personally deal with him.
"
Ask yourself, even if Allen is really an evil god, Howard doesn't want him to die miserably under the encirclement and suppression of the Church of Light. If he really has to take action, it's best to do it himself.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door suddenly outside the room.
"Sir, it's me." The voice of the descending angel Raphael came from outside the door.
In the past few days, Raphael has sent an invitation letter to Howard every day, either to invite Howard to have afternoon tea with him, or to ask Howard to go for a walk, or to invite Howard to go to church with him for worship...
All in all, in order to meet Howard alone, Raphael found countless reasons in various ways.
But each time, Howard politely declined.
There is no doubt that this is mainly due to Howard's social phobia.
However, this is also because the subconscious mind in Howard's mind secretly rejects this meeting - Lucifer and Raphael are the same kind, but Howard does not want to be the same kind as him.
He could have a premonition that once he accepted his identity as "Reincarnated Angel Lucifer", the memories belonging to "Howard" in this life would become an illusory and insignificant dream.
His family and friends will all become insignificant passers-by.
Only this time, Raphael came directly to the door and asked to meet Howard.
To be honest, Howard had rejected Rafael so many times before, and seeing how reluctant he was to let him go, he was really embarrassed to reject him again this time.
Besides, Howard couldn't think of any better excuse, so he could only step forward and welcome Rafael into the room, while racking his brains to think about how to start a conversation with him to avoid an awkward silence.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Raphael entered the room, he immediately knelt down on one knee in front of Howard and said in a respectful tone: "I have met you, sir."
This move made Howard feel even more embarrassed.
He immediately helped Raphael up and asked him to sit on the sofa. He moved a chair and sat opposite Raphael.
At this time, Howard clearly saw that Raphael had a pair of bright golden eyes - even in this dark night with drizzle, these eyes were equally dazzling.
Howard was very familiar with these eyes - because in Lucifer's memory, he himself had a pair of very similar golden eyes.
There was a brief silence after that.
As a patient with social phobia, Howard has always been extremely uncomfortable in such cold situations.
So, driven by instinct, he began to rack his brains to find a suitable topic.
It wasn't until his eyes fell on the teapot on the table that Howard relaxed a little.
"Raphael... sir," Howard lifted the teapot and said carefully, "do you want a cup of tea?"
But Raphael's reaction far exceeded his expectations.
I saw Raphael snatching the teapot from his hand, pouring Howard a cup of tea, and then respectfully handed it to Howard's hand with both hands: "Sir, how can you do such a small thing yourself?
I should be the one taking care of you!"
Howard took the tea cup and felt even more embarrassed.
"Well, if Allen were here, he would definitely laugh at me." He thought silently in his mind.
Fortunately, the awkward atmosphere did not last long.
Raphael quickly said: "Sir, please forgive me for being offended. If I guessed correctly, you should have read the "Lighting Book" in the church's secret room, right?"
Howard nodded.
"Lord Lucifer, you should understand that our Church of Light is now at a critical juncture of life and death." After seeing Howard's statement, Raphael immediately changed his name to him, "The successor to the God of Darkness has already arrived.
Unknowingly, he has become much stronger than before. We need your help to successfully deal with him."
Hearing the name "Successor to the God of Darkness", Howard once again felt a headache. He couldn't help scolding Allen for being that bastard for hiding so many secrets from himself.
"I said, I want to think about it again," Howard replied, "at least until I confirm the identity of the successor to the God of Darkness."
"I think... Lord Lucifer, you should already know who that person is!"
"Hearing is false, seeing is believing," Howard replied, with a very firm attitude, "I want to see him in person before making a decision."
Hearing Howard's words, Raphael sighed silently, thinking that Lord Lucifer was indeed as stubborn as before. Once he made up his mind, no one could stop him.
"By the way, Lord Lucifer, His Majesty the Pope also asked me to inform you of something," Raphael continued. "The Pope received the oracle from the goddess yesterday and learned that the successor to the God of Darkness was in Bray
The disguised identity of the Kingdom. His Majesty the Pope intends to disclose his identity to the believers so that he can be wanted. He asked me to ask your opinion."
"Don't!" Howard said without thinking.
Seeing Raphael's confused look, Howard thought for a while and made up a reason: "We are at war with the Kingdom of Braden, there is no need to alarm the remnants of the Dark Temple now."
"It makes sense," Raphael nodded, "Lord Lucifer is indeed far-sighted."
Howard was suddenly a little embarrassed by the praise.
…………
At the same time, Braden Kingdom, Mage Tower.
After sending the note to Payne's plane, Selina Solomon felt restless.
She didn't know whether Allen could receive her message, or whether Allen could return smoothly.
All she can do now is pray for him silently.
At this moment, someone informed her that Master Alchemist Walder asked her to meet outside the gate of the Mage Tower.
