Chapter 23: The Angel of Light and the God of Darkness Meet
The dark aura was very weak, and it was obviously well hidden by Allen. If he had extraordinary insight, he would not be able to detect it at all.
But Howard relied on the purest power of light to discover the existence of the dark breath in Allen.
This shocked Howard and made it difficult to stay calm for a while.
Prior to this, Howard had been trying to convince himself that the Church of Light's claim that Allen was the successor of the God of Darkness was just a means to deal with the enemy.
After all, Allen once sent the Archbishop of the Light Church, Jacques Nerga, to the stake through a series of arrangements. This undoubtedly caused the Church of Light to lose its face, and also caused the prestige established by the Church of Light in the Kingdom of Braden to be instantly
collapse.
Naturally, the Church of Light will regard Allen as a thorn in its side, and will do whatever it takes to get rid of him quickly.
However, when Howard noticed the faint aura of darkness on Allen's body, and realized that the light power in his body rejected that aura of darkness, he finally realized what the Pope and Raphael said.
That statement is probably correct.
Reminiscent of the strange situation in which Allen fainted in Hagia Sophia, Howard was finally willing to admit that Allen had some connection with the evil god named "The God of Darkness".
However, to this day, Howard still feels that Allen himself is innocent and that he is just a victim influenced by the evil god, thus causing the Church of Light to make wrong judgments.
He must ask Allen for the truth.
Thinking of this, after Howard prepared his lines, he took a deep breath, walked forward, and stopped in front of Allen and his party.
However, when Howard actually walked up to Allen and saw that familiar face, he suddenly found that the series of questions he had carefully prepared could not be uttered.
It's like a social phobia suddenly breaks out when facing strangers, and your mind goes blank for an instant.
But Allen is not a stranger. He was even his only friend.
Could it be that at this moment, Allen and him have become the most familiar strangers?
In the end, Howard was stunned for a while, then reluctantly raised his right hand and said to Allen: "Hi!"
Seeing his embarrassed look, Allen raised the corners of his mouth slightly and couldn't help laughing.
There is no doubt that Allen also felt an extremely strong light aura from Howard.
In Allen's perception, Howard at this moment is like a bright light in the dark night. He can be felt glowing from a long distance away - this feeling is even better than the original "Flame of God" by the Angel of the Light Church.
"Uriel gave him something even stronger.
Obviously, after Howard went to the papal territory, a huge change took place in him.
And for all this, Allen had already been mentally prepared.
As early as when Howard tested the natal element and found the result of "light element", Allen felt that this guy was very unusual.
Then, when Howard established contact with Daystar and was recruited by the Church of Light, Allen could almost conclude that Howard had a deep connection with the Church of Light.
Especially when Howard successfully raised the "Havel of Judgment" when he tried Archbishop Jacques Nerga, Allen was no longer willing to believe that "Howard has a pure soul" and "Howard was manipulated by the goddess of light".
"Favor" and other fairy-tale reasons.
Because this world is not as simple as a fairy tale, and the goddess of light is not a kind and stupid Virgin.
She will never get close to a person because he is "kind", has a "pure soul" and "upholds justice".
She will only favor people who are useful to her.
Because of this, Allen felt that Howard was probably the reincarnation of a big figure in the Church of Light.
Now, Howard's strong aura of light seemed to faintly confirm Allen's guess.
At the same time, from Howard's incomprehensible expression, Allen also deduced that the other party was probably aware of the relationship between him and the Dark Temple.
"What a fool." Allen complained silently in his heart.
Then he walked straight forward, with a relaxed smile on his face, and said to Howard: "Want to go to the bar?"
Howard was stunned for a moment, then nodded stiffly.
He felt that he really couldn't find a suitable time to ask Allen about the "Godhead of the Dark God", so he nodded and agreed to Allen's proposal.
He thought that maybe the bar could ease the awkward atmosphere at this time.
"Then follow me." Allen then smiled.
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned into a black smoke and quickly drifted towards the end of the road.
Howard stared at the black smoke that Allen turned into, and his eyes widened involuntarily.
He never expected that Allen would not hide his hidden identity in front of him at all, but chose to expose the dark power in front of him openly.
"Isn't he afraid that I will sell him to the Church of Light?" Howard asked doubtfully.
However, Howard then thought about it. Now in the Church of Light, both Pope Paul II and the Angel Raphael have known Allen's true identity for a long time. Only Howard himself was unwilling to admit it until his death.
"I'm so stupid, really." He shook his head helplessly and sighed secretly in his heart.
Then, he also turned into a ray of light, followed Allen, and disappeared at the end of the road.
At this time, only Isabella and Mayfield were left in front of the palace.
They looked quietly at the place where Allen and Howard disappeared, and were silent for a long time.
Finally, Mayfield asked Isabella next to him in a hesitant tone: "Miss Saint, do we need to follow?"
Isabella shook her head and said in a helpless tone: "Mayfield, have you really lost your mind? The messenger is obviously going to talk to Mr. Howard about personal matters, so we can only follow him.
Adding chaos."
"But... when the messenger was discussing the kingdom's secrets with Miss Selina, he didn't drive us away," Mayfield said with an innocent look.
"This is different." Isabella said lightly.
Mayfield said nothing.
He just silently recorded Howard's appearance in his mind, and reminded himself over and over again that if he saw this person again in the future, he must treat him specially and never offend the messenger.
…………
At the same time, Allen and Howard each showed their strength and soon arrived at the "Riverside Bar" by the Boone River.
Because the Braden Kingdom strictly enforced the curfew during the war, the prosperity of the past has long since disappeared along the Boone River.
