As soon as he finished speaking, Allen turned into a black smoke again and disappeared into this cold and lonely "riverside bar".
Howard was left alone at the table again, sitting alone, silently digesting the information he had just obtained from Allen.
When Howard learned that Allen was really the successor of the God of Darkness, he unexpectedly found that he was not as shocked as he thought, but accepted this fact calmly.
After all, if Howard carefully recalls all the details of his past interactions with Allen, he can still find some clues.
For example, Allen suddenly changed from a magic idiot to a magic genius, and also possessed extremely terrifying magic talents at the "legendary" level; for example, Allen once fainted inexplicably outside the Hagia Sophia Cathedral, and his eyes turned into
Cold black; another example is what Allen said during the trial of Archbishop Jacques Nerga - "Peel off the shiny outer skin of these hypocritical priests, and the inside is worse than the so-called 'evil god cultists'"
Be dark and dirty."
At that time, Howard was really frightened by Allen's words - because based on the widespread belief in the Church of Light in Braden Kingdom, this sentence indeed seemed extremely rebellious and shocking.
However, looking back now, thinking of Allen's identity that had been hidden for a long time, Howard could imagine Allen's extremely strong anger at the time.
The God of Darkness is called the "Evil God", and the believers of the Dark Temple are also called "Evil God Cultists". However, the real evildoers are the Church of Light, which prides itself on justice.
In Allen's eyes at the time, this was considered a subtle irony.
Thinking of this, Howard couldn't help but sigh silently again.
He felt very helpless about his identity.
As an angel under the command of the Goddess of Light, he should theoretically obey the orders of the Goddess of Light and fight for the interests of the Church of Light.
But in fact, he couldn't take action against Allen at all.
——Even though he has already known from the Church of Light that Allen has not awakened all his power yet and is not his opponent yet.
"Well, how should I go back and explain?" Howard felt a little headache.
At this moment, he even wanted to dig a hole in the ground and hide until the war was over, so as not to worry about this headache anymore.
However, as an angel created by the goddess of light, he has an extremely close connection with the goddess of light - which means that no matter where he hides, the goddess of light can easily find him.
Moreover, the goddess of light only gave him seven days to think.
When the time comes, he must express his choice.
Thinking of this, Howard shook his head silently, feeling that he was living between light and darkness and was struggling.
…………
At the same time, outside the palace gate.
At this time, the night was still clear and lonely.
Isabella and Mayfield still stood here quietly, waiting for Allen's return.
As a visitor from another dimension, Mayfield was full of curiosity about everything around him. As he looked around, he wondered what the messenger was doing with the guy with chestnut hair and a monocle. They had been together for so long.
Didn't come back.
After a few minutes, he could no longer restrain his desire to complain, and couldn't help but said to Isabella beside him: "Miss Saint, who is that gentleman who went to the bar with the messenger?"
"He is a friend of the messenger." Isabella replied with some emotion in her tone.
"Friends? Lord Messenger, he actually has friends?" Mayfield was a little surprised when he heard Isabella's answer.
Ever since he ascended the throne of the Greyhawk Kingdom with the help of Lord Messenger and was simply and rudely deposed by Lord Messenger, Mayfield has always felt that Lord Messenger is a very ruthless person who is extremely close to the gods.
"Do you think the messenger is a loner?" Isabella asked.
"No, that's not the case," Mayfield replied, "I just feel that as the messenger is the spokesperson of the God of Darkness, mortals are not worthy of being his friends."
"Mr. Howard is not a mortal," Isabella said lightly, "I just hope that the messenger can use his personality charm to influence him and stop him from standing on the opposite side of us."
"He...is he strong?" Mayfield opened his eyes wide in surprise.
However, before he could recover, the figure of Alan York appeared in front of the two of them out of thin air.
"Sir Messenger." The two men nodded slightly and saluted Allen.
"Let's go," Allen ordered lightly, "it's almost dawn now, we should go to the mage tower."
Afterwards, Allen called for the carriage of the York family, and drove the three of them in the direction of the Mage Tower, facing the fading moonlight and the white fish belly on the horizon in the early morning.
The mage tower is still as usual, towering into the clouds and majestic, and the magic light on the top of the tower is brilliant and colorful.
However, the man living at the top of the tower has mysteriously disappeared.
Thinking of this, Allen's expression became a little solemn.
He strode forward, held the door handle of the mage tower door, and awakened the spirit of the Sphinx sealed on the door handle.
"My lord, you are finally back," the Sphinx said in a flattering voice, "I have been waiting for you here for a long, long time."
Isabella's face was calm.
But when he heard Sphinx's words, Mayfield was even more surprised.
Is this mage tower also the property of the messenger?
The true strength of the messenger is too terrifying!
"Stop talking nonsense and let us go in!" Allen ordered.
"Sir, I'm very sorry. According to the established rules, I still have to ask you a question before you can go in." The Sphinx said in a respectful and apologetic tone.
"Ask!" Allen said calmly. He was very curious about what kind of lower limit the Sphinx would break this time.
I heard the Sphinx ask: "What is five minus three?"
Allen replied without hesitation: "Two."
After hearing Allen's answer, the Sphinx immediately said in a respectful voice: "Long time no see, my lord is still as wise as ever. Please come in!"
Allen nodded and pushed the door open.
Seeing Allen's back disappear behind the door, Mayfield frowned slightly and asked Isabella beside him: "Do we also have to answer questions before we can go in?"
Isabella replied: "Of course."
Although Mayfield didn't understand the rules, the questions Allen answered were not difficult. Mayfield felt that he could figure them out with his feet.
Therefore, when he grasped the door handle, he was full of confidence in himself.
