However, the gap in absolute strength cannot be ignored after all.
Although things often happen to Alan York that are beyond the expectations of the goddess of light, in the end things will develop according to her ideas.
Just like Howard now, even if he gets out of her control midway, it will eventually become the sharpest sword in her hand.
So, she raised her hand, with a perfect smile still on her face, and under Howard's blank gaze, she turned and left the splendid hall, leaving Howard alone behind her.
In this way, Howard was left alone in this empty golden room, at a loss.
He didn't know what the purpose of the goddess of light was.
However, as time went by, Howard could clearly feel that the pressure in the room was getting stronger and stronger, gradually making him breathless, and giving him the urge to prostrate himself in worship.
.
At the same time, Lucifer's memory became particularly active.
There are even times when Howard feels that his life as a mortal is just a dream, and only his loyalty and belief in the light are immortal.
Therefore, Howard quickly understood that this magnificent room was the punishment given to him by the goddess of light.
In other words, it is a melting pot, a melting pot used for brainwashing.
It is filled with the pressure of light.
As long as Howard stays in this room for a long time, the power of light will continue to penetrate into his soul, making him gradually forget the memory of being a mortal in this life, and then become the angel who obeys the words of the Goddess of Light again.
"I must find a way to escape," Howard clenched his fists and thought secretly in his mind, "If I continue to stay here, sooner or later I will lose my humanity and become a puppet with only the light divinity left. This will violate
The agreement between Allen and I."
Thinking of this, Howard closed his eyes and began to rely on his willpower to fight against the pressure of light in the room.
…………
Lund City, the capital of the Kingdom of Braden, and the Royal Palace Castle.
While Allen was studying the magic cannon with Master Alchemist Walder and Selina Solomon, the Queen's personal maid Lila suddenly walked into the warehouse.
"Mr. York," the maid Lila said in a respectful tone, "Her Majesty the Queen has something important to discuss with you."
Hearing this, Allen frowned slightly.
Because he could feel that Teacher Wald's body was now old and weak, and it was very likely that he would follow the footsteps of the God of Death and return to the kingdom of the dead in the next few days.
He wanted to spend more time with Teacher Wald.
If Mr. Walder could solve the mystery of the magic cannon before he passed away, it might make him happier and allow him to sleep without regrets.
However, the "important things" that Queen Margaret mentioned are likely related to the invasion of the Church of Light.
If you miss such an important thing, you will lose the opportunity and the consequences will be disastrous.
So, Allen looked at Wald beside him, showed an apologetic smile, and said sincerely: "Sorry, Teacher Wald, I have to leave for a while."
"Go," Walder waved his hand impatiently, "I know you are a busy man. Go and come back quickly!"
"Yeah." Allen agreed.
Then he followed the maid Lila and turned around to leave the warehouse.
…………
Queen Margaret was already waiting for him in the castle's study.
Her face still looked pale and haggard.
At this moment, she was sitting tiredly on a spacious armchair, which was piled with soft cushions and lumbar pillows. There was a maid behind her, massaging her shoulders.
When Allen walked into the study, Queen Margaret waved her hand and drove all the servants out of the room.
Then she stood up from her seat, nodded slightly, with an apologetic smile on her face, and said to Allen: "I'm sorry, Mr. Messenger, I've been too tired recently and made you laugh."
"I understand." Allen said with a smile.
Allen still remembers that when he was a programmer in his previous life, he always worked overtime to write code day and night, and sat in an office chair for several hours. He often suffered from back pain and was so tired that he didn't even want to move his fingers.
.
Queen Margaret's current appearance of overwork made Alan couldn't help but think of himself in his previous life.
"In addition, I have to congratulate Sir Envoy for successfully becoming the tower master of the Mage Tower in Braden Kingdom," Queen Margaret continued, "But I think that in your capacity as Sir Envoy, you should not care about such a trivial matter.
title."
You think too highly of me. Allen thought to himself.
Even if I am the envoy of the Dark Temple, "Master of the Mage Tower" is not a small title, and it is also crucial to defeating the Church of Light.
However, in front of Queen Margaret, in order to maintain his integrity as the messenger of the Dark Temple, he naturally would not tell the truth.
"These are all small things," Allen waved his hand and said, "You came to me today because you have something important to tell me, right?"
"Yes," Queen Margaret nodded, with a clouded look on her face, "After a short rest, the Kingdom of Ferrand once again launched a large-scale attack on us, and according to the intelligence from the front, a branch of the Church of Light
A small group of the Knights of the Order participated in the battle."
Having said this, Queen Margaret paused for a while, then walked to the map hanging on the wall, pointed to a seaside town in the Kingdom of Braden on the map and said:
"This time, the army of the Kingdom of Ferrand landed from this small town called 'Rose Town'. This exceeded all of our expectations.
"Because the sea side of this town is full of cliffs, and the sea is also constantly roaring with strong winds and rolling waves. It is not suitable for ships to berth at all. We never thought that the Church of Light would launch an attack from this place.
"However, with the help of some unknown magical power of the Church of Light, the sea has been not only calm recently, but also foggy, allowing the army of the Kingdom of Ferrand and the Guardian Knights to land here quietly and with lightning speed.
With great force, they captured this rose town.
"Now, Rose Town has become the base of the Ferrand Kingdom."
Allen didn't speak immediately.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought.
Allen understood that the reason why the Church of Light had not launched a new round of attacks in recent days was not because he had frightened them by himself at the naval base before, but because of Howard's secret mediation.
But now, the Church of Light has sent troops again.
