Neither of them spoke, they just sipped the wine in their glasses. Allen looked calm, while Howard felt a little uneasy - after all, as a person with social phobia, he was not used to this kind of awkward silence.
So, Howard thought for a moment and said to Allen: "Alan... to tell you the truth, I... I am the reincarnated angel of the Church of Light."
"I know." Allen said calmly, as if what Howard was telling him was just a trivial matter.
"You know?" Howard asked in surprise.
"I guessed it," Allen smiled, "the aura of light on your body is so strong, like a lighthouse in the dark night. Apart from the turning angel, only the incarnation of the goddess of light can have such strong light power.
Already."
Howard felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
Before that, he only focused on studying whether Allen had a dark aura on his body, and did not try to hide his light aura.
But then he thought about it, Allen has a dark godhead, and his insight is definitely the same as his own, and may even be much better than his own. Sooner or later, his identity as an angel will be discovered by Allen, and there is no need to hide it in front of him.
.
Thinking of this, he felt relieved.
"That's it." He nodded, forcing a stiff smile on his face.
"By the way, Howard, I'm curious, you are now a reincarnated angel, so what was your identity in your previous life?" Allen then asked him.
"Lucifer is the one called the 'Son of the Morning.'" Howard replied.
He had been chasing Allen for a long time just now and felt that he needed to tell Allen some information based on the principle of equivalent exchange.
However, the moment he heard the name "Lucifer", Allen's emotions finally fluctuated, and it was difficult to calm down for a while.
Ever since Uriel, the angel of the Church of Light, "God's Flame" told him that an angel named "Lucifer" would appear in the future and become an enemy that he could not ignore.
Judging from Uriel's original attitude, it was obvious that Lucifer was very powerful and might even be the leader of all angels.
Although Allen has never seen this "Lucifer", he has always been wary and wary of this name.
However, Allen never expected that the name that made him extremely afraid was Howard sitting in front of him!
Looking at Howard's harmless appearance in front of him, Allen really couldn't match him with that big devil-like name.
However, Allen then thought about it. Although Howard was so powerful in his previous life, his current personality is still the same and silly.
He just revealed some information that the Church of Light had known for a long time, and then easily extracted such blockbuster news from Howard's mouth as to his past life identity. It was simply a waste of time.
Alas, if a simple-minded fool like Howard stays in the Church of Light, which is full of intrigues and infighting, he will probably be ousted by his group of ambitious angels sooner or later!
"So, Howard, do you know what the Church of Light is planning now?" Allen then asked with a smile, "I mean, what do they want to do with me now? Take me to the papal collar and imprison me, or just think about it directly
How to kill me?"
Howard thought for a while and replied: "The Pope wanted to make your identity public, but I refused him."
"Thank you." Allen thanked him sincerely.
After hearing Howard's words, Allen had to admit that Pope Paul II of the Church of Light was a smart man, and he knew very well what he was most afraid of at the moment.
According to Allen's original plan, in the process of helping the Braden Kingdom fight against foreign enemies, he planned to portray himself as a hero who saved the country from danger, while accumulating the power of faith and establishing his own prestige as much as possible.
.
After the war is won and he is recognized by the people of Braden Kingdom, he will make the Dark Temple public.
In this way, the "evil god" image of the Dark God can be washed away, and the resistance to establishing the Dark Temple as the state religion will be greatly reduced.
However, once the Pope reveals Allen's true identity to the public in advance, as Howard said, Allen's original plan will be completely disrupted, and the situation of the Dark Temple will become extremely unfavorable.
The dignitaries of the Kingdom of Braden were not monolithic. When Queen Margaret declared war, there were still many capitulationists who opposed it.
At present, it's just that Allen's absolute strength has temporarily intimidated them, so that they dare not make any objections for the time being.
However, once Allen's secret is exposed, these people will jump out to cause trouble, causing internal strife in the Braden Kingdom.
By that time, Allen may not have time to fight the enemy, but he may be in the hands of his own people——
This is the ending that Allen is least willing to accept.
Because of this, Allen stood up again and expressed his sincere gratitude to Howard.
"No need to thank me," Howard said, "This is what a friend should do."
"I thought that a person who hates evil like you would definitely not help an 'evil god' like me." Allen laughed at himself and joked.
"I once really thought that the God of Darkness was an evil god who did all kinds of evil. He and his followers were cruel and tyrannical, and were a scourge that must be eliminated," Howard responded. "But, I later discovered that light and darkness
, in fact, they are just different positions and do not represent good and evil in the true sense.
"There are people like Archbishop Jac Nelga in the Light Church who are guilty of numerous crimes and extortionate money, and there are people like you in the Dark Temple who will step forward at critical moments.
"Especially after I read the original version of the "Light Canon" in the Papal Circle, I gradually understood the truth of history and discovered that the world is not black and white."
"Are you praising me as a good person?" Hearing Howard's words, Allen smiled slightly, held the wine glass, and sat back on the chair.
"At least in my eyes, you are considered a good person," Howard said seriously, "I have never seen with my own eyes the Dark Temple's persecution of people and arbitrary expropriation."
"That's because we are too weak and we can't do these things even if we want to," Allen smiled, shook his head, and joked, "By the way, Howard, I almost forgot to ask you, what do you want to do in the future?
? Should you join the Pope in attacking the Braden Kingdom, or simply choose to become a fallen angel and join our Dark Temple?"
