"Decide for yourself..." Howard said this word silently, secretly feeling a little funny.
Ever since he awakened the memory of the angel Lucifer, Howard has actually been hiding the thought in his heart: Rather than being a high-ranking angel, he is more like a canary locked in a cage by the Church of Light; the so-called "
Make your own decision." In fact, the implication is "Please remember your position" or "Please remember that you are a member of the Light Church."
"Thank you." He turned around, smiled, and said to the priest sent by the Pope to inform him.
The priest also understood that these words of thanks were actually the cardinal's order to expel him, so he bowed deeply to Howard, then turned and left the room.
Howard was still sitting quietly at the table, picking up the sandwich on the plate and chewing it slowly while staring at Allen's portrait.
I only heard him whispering to himself softly: "...Alan, to be honest, I really can't believe that you are the successor of the God of Darkness... After all, gods are all high above, overlooking the world, how can there be someone like him?"
A sandwich-loving god like you..."
At the same time, Howard also secretly decided to wait until dark today to go to the beach of Braden Kingdom and meet Allen privately.
…………
At the same time, the seaside of Braden Kingdom.
After this fierce battle, Commander Moore Pert originally wanted to retain Allen and hoped that Allen could stay at the naval base overnight, but Allen politely rejected his offer.
"Mr. Pert, thank you for your warm hospitality," Allen said with a polite smile on his face, "but the capital needs me more. I need to rush back as soon as possible to fundamentally solve the problem."
Seeing that he couldn't win over Allen, Moore Pott could only nod his head, and at the same time repeatedly emphasized in front of Allen that if there was any need for his help, just tell him and he would do his best to help.
Alan smiled and expressed his gratitude.
Then, as a shining six-pointed star appeared at Allen's feet, Allen disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Moore Porter stared blankly at the place where Allen disappeared, feeling that everything in front of him was very unreal, as if it was a dream.
…………
A moment later, Allen appeared in the mountains a few kilometers away.
The mountains here are steep, the woods are lush, and there are few people on weekdays.
Allen and the believers of the Dark Temple were teleported to this place when they just returned from the plane of Payne.
Because most of the believers of the God of Darkness who followed Allen were wanted criminals written on the list by the Church of Light, so in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Allen simply left them all here, while he was alone.
Go to the naval port of Braden Kingdom.
These believers have all seen various miracles created by Allen, and they all have great confidence in the messenger and are not worried about his safety.
Among them, Mayfield McNeil, as the only native of the Payne plane, was very curious about everything around him. He even wanted to follow Allen to the seaside to see if the enemies in this plane were really powerful.
sharp.
However, the high priest Delphi dissuaded him.
"If you follow, you may die without even ashes," Delphi said coldly. "The messenger needs to be busy fighting, but he can't spare any extra energy to protect you."
After hearing this, Mayfield finally chose to retreat and followed the other believers of the Dark Temple in a cave halfway up the mountain to wait for a whole day until the envoy returned victoriously.
"Master Messenger, how is the battle going?" When Allen arrived at the cave, Saint Isabella of the Dark Temple took the lead and stepped forward and asked.
"It's going well," Allen replied, "but the real strength of the Church of Light is much stronger than I imagined. This time for them, it's just a simple test - whether it's Pope Paul II
, or those angels, didn’t take action.”
After hearing his words, the believers present stopped smiling and their faces became serious.
Especially Isabella, worry could not help but appear in her eyes.
Because she had seen with her own eyes that Allen once fought with the angels of the Church of Light until both sides were injured. He fell into a coma and slept in the cave for a long time. He was almost robbed by the guy named "Weird" Hob Eff.
godhead.
Although Allen's strength has improved a lot after that life-and-death struggle, Isabella still can't help but feel anxious when thinking that there are obviously more than one angels in the Church of Light.
In particular, she understood that Lord Messenger was not invincible as described in the "Dark Scripture", and that he also had moments of vulnerability.
"So, Lord Messenger, what are your plans next?" Isabella was silent for a moment and then asked.
"I want to go to the capital first, go to the Mage Tower, and then go to the palace to see the Queen." Allen replied.
Since returning to the Braden Kingdom, Allen's biggest worry is the sentence Selina wrote in the note - "Your Excellency Merlins is in trouble." Because of this, when he solved the problem of the Navy,
After the crisis at the port, he immediately bid farewell to Morpert and made the decision to return to the capital.
"Do you need me to go with you?" Isabella asked.
Allen thought for a moment, nodded and said: "You come with me! You will change your appearance, and you don't have to worry about being wanted. And Mayfield, the Church of Light doesn't know you, so you can go with me... As for the rest
People, it’s better to stay here for the time being. The entire Braden Kingdom has seen your appearance on the wanted poster of the Church of Light. I don’t want you to become a street rat that everyone calls for beating."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Young people like Ray Font, although eager to help the envoy, were somewhat reluctant to stay here, but considering the situation, they finally nodded.
At this moment, many people are very jealous of Mayfield McNeil, who is a native of the plane of Payne - this guy has only joined the Dark Temple's camp for a few days, and he can be at the side of the envoy. It is simply
How hateful!
Just like that, as a shining six-pointed star appeared on the ground again, Allen, Isabella and Mayfield MacNeil disappeared together.
…………
Papal collar.
A few minutes later, Howard finished eating his sandwich, sat there, and began to think about whether to go see Allen.
“Go.” “Don’t go.” “Go.” “Don’t go.”…
Countless thoughts buzzed around in his mind like a swarm of annoying mosquitoes.
Finally, Howard took out a coin, flipped it gently, and decided to obey his fate.
