Chapter 46 The seven-day period of the goddess of light
Allen still stood quietly, silently watching the back of Teacher Wald as he was busy working, and did not immediately step forward to disturb him.
Compared to the last time we met, Walder seemed to have aged a lot.
The grooves on his face are deeper, his hair is whiter, and his body is thinner.
From a distance, it looks like dry firewood, which can be broken by just a gust of wind.
Seeing such a scene, Allen felt a little complicated.
Originally, Teacher Wald valued Allen's magical talent and creativity in alchemy, and chose Allen as his successor. He originally planned to teach Allen everything he had learned in his life.
It's a pity that Allen is not an ordinary Mage Tower student.
He also has other missions of his own.
Under the current situation, it is impossible for him to stay quietly in the mage tower and learn knowledge from his mentor like other students.
Therefore, Walder could only settle for the next best thing and choose Selina Solomon as his successor. He would keep her by his side at all times and teach her alchemy step by step.
Because of this, Allen has always felt guilty towards Wald, the teacher. After all, he failed to live up to Wald's expectations.
Especially at the voting meeting for the Master of the Mage Tower, Allen openly showed his dark power to everyone.
This undoubtedly means that Allen did not choose to major in Merlins' prophecy or Walder's alchemy, but chose his own path——
A path closest to the origin of the world.
While everyone was deeply shocked by this, they also felt sorry for Merlins and Walder.
Because these two famous magicians spent many years, they finally found a talented student as their successor, but this student seemed to be "not very obedient" and "went his own way".
At this time, Walder finally stopped what he was doing and took a short rest.
Then he turned around and saw Alan York standing at the door of the warehouse.
Walder did not speak immediately, but narrowed his eyes slightly and carefully looked at the student who had recently returned from another dimension.
In his slightly turbid vision, although Allen's appearance has not changed much, his temperament is completely different from before.
If Allen was a talented young man with a sharp edge in the past, now he has unknowingly restrained his too dazzling light and become calm, restrained, and not angry and self-confident.
"I'm very sorry, Teacher Wald, I'm late." When Wald turned around, Allen nodded slightly and spoke first.
"It's better that you don't come back," Walder said in a calm tone, "Now that the Braden Kingdom and the Mage Tower are in trouble, you might as well stay in the alien plane and preserve a legacy for us."
Wald's words may sound a bit "yin and yang" to the ears of uninformed outsiders, mixed with some sarcasm or complaint.
But as someone who knows Wald well, Allen understands that Teacher Wald is telling the truth.
He really didn't want to return to this plane and risk his life to go through this muddy water.
He would rather Allen stay in another dimension and "eat an ignoble existence".
But Allen knew that with his true identity, he could not escape from the sight of the goddess of light no matter what.
There will eventually be a fateful decisive battle between him and the goddess of light.
"I am a member of the Mage Tower," Allen said seriously. "The matters of the Mage Tower are my own affairs. I cannot escape these things."
"That's what you kid would say," Walder snorted coldly. Then he paused for a while and then said, "Why don't you come over here quickly and come with me to take a look at this magic cannon."
After hearing his words, Allen lowered his head, with a faint smile on his lips, and walked obediently to Walder's side, carefully observing the patterns carved on the magic cannon.
As Selena said before, the pattern of the magic circle on the magic cannon is quite complicated, and seems to be beyond the understanding of this era, as if it is a product from the future.
Just like the "Longinus Array" under the palace castle.
But in fact, these magic cannons are historical relics from hundreds of thousands of years ago - in that distant era, the mage tower had not yet been built.
How did the ancient people hundreds of thousands of years ago master such advanced magical knowledge?
Could it be that during these hundreds of years, many advanced magic technologies were lost due to wars, natural disasters and other factors?
Allen didn't know.
These days, Allen has been thinking about the answer to this question.
Because some intuition told him that as long as he could find the source of these advanced magic technologies, he might also be able to find a way to defeat the Church of Light.
However, he has always been puzzled.
In this way, with a worried mood, Allen moved a small bench, picked up paper and pen, sat next to the alchemist master Wald, and began to scribble on the draft paper to analyze the operating principle of this magic circle.
…………
Church of Light, Papal Territory.
Since parting with Allen, Howard has returned to his own small building in the Pope's Palace, staying behind closed doors and not opening the door to see anyone.
Even though the Pope and the angel Raphael visited him personally, Howard refused to open the door to entertain guests.
However, Howard has a special status in the Church of Light. He has always insisted on not opening the door, and the Pope and others can't do anything to him.
The reason why Howard stays behind closed doors is also very simple——
That is, the seven-day period given to him by the goddess of light to think about is coming soon.
A few days ago, Howard entered the secret room hidden underground in the Cathedral of Light. There, he not only read the original version of "The Book of Light", but also saw the phantom of the Goddess of Light.
That day, the phantom of the goddess of light asked him if he wanted to completely awaken his previous life as the "Star of Dawn" and "Son of the Morning" Lucifer. His powerful power became the sharpest spear in the hands of the goddess of light.
All darkness in the world has been swept away.
But Howard kept evading and procrastinating.
Because at this time, he was completely able to confirm that his best friend, Alan York, was the successor of the God of Darkness and could be regarded as the God of Darkness walking in the world.
If Howard fully awakens the power of the angel Lucifer in his previous life and regains his mission in his previous life, then he and Allen will become sworn enemies.
This is obviously something he doesn't want to face.
So, as the seventh day deadline was approaching, Howard stood blankly by the window, a little at a loss.
