"How is Mademoiselle Poirot's case going?" Uriel couldn't help but ask as soon as his feet touched the ground.
They passed through the Star Gap and returned to the edge of the Four Leaf Fields. This reminded the apprentice of their brief journey away from Frostleaf Keep. The wind smelled of frosty moons and golden cups, and there was silence all around. There are no passers-by here and there are no guards. The distant horizon is a deep green pine forest among the snow-capped mountains, and a stream winds down like a silver ribbon, leading to the Jinque River in the sixteen counties of the west. Along the way, it will be fed by the Shimmering River and the Gold Digger's Channel, turning it into a deep, rapid stream; as cities and fortresses grow along the way, the water becomes turbid. Finally, it will pour into the boundless Sea of Singing along the Knight's Bay in the east of the kingdom along with the Golden Bird River.
I hadn't seen Mr. York and Painter for a long time, and he missed their noise for a while.
"She has other cases to deal with. The Sheriff always has cases to deal with." Joey closed the door. "The Trials of Fire are held on Penance Day."
"What about the church?"
"The Crusaders negotiated with the Affairs Department and planned to set up checkpoints to search for civilians like the Security Bureau. Maybe they think the Cross Star can be used anywhere... It's a pity that Aeroni believes in Otto and has no good impression of Gaia."
After leaving Brumnot, the messenger became more talkative. But I'm afraid only Uriel can notice this small difference. He watched in confusion as Joey stretched out his hand and asked for the silver ring.
"The mailbox can store more than just letters." The young man warned. "When we leave the tower, it is best not to mention our involvement in fate casually." He threw Sauron to his apprentice.
After leaving the tomb, the wise Mr. Gessen was not allowed to say a word. Uriel understands that there are some things that cannot be discussed with Osvid or even Mr. Eze, but... "Will it record our conversation?"
"Normally not. But fate is always with us, and astrologers can always get information from all kinds of things. You have to be careful."
Uriel knew what he meant... The devil had to be careful in Croy's Tower, because there were enemies everywhere. The captured unknown persons will be beheaded on the streets of the busy city. The people watching under the execution platform cheer and celebrate the death of these aliens who have the same shape as themselves.
He had never seen such a bloody scene with his own eyes. After Witek pointed out his true nature, the apprentice was even more reluctant to approach the gallows. But perhaps because of the comfort of the world, Uriel is still unable to realize the danger of the Nameless One. He first learned about these demons because of the Whinney Watts Massacre. This tragic disaster gave him sympathy for the weak. The Glorious Council, which is chasing demons all over the world, is obviously not a weakling; Sauron calls the nameless people demons, but the slaughtered party does nothing to people.
Wittek said that the Nameless Ones did not gain power by wanting to become demons, they were just wanderers abandoned by the order. One day, the souls from the abyss will occupy the bodies of the Nameless Ones, but until then, their will and fire belong to them.
The mysterious realm was afraid of their power, so they killed the unknown ones. It sounds like ignorant villagers binding herbal doctors to the stake and praying for the flames to purify evil witches. Even Sauron listed the crimes of the Nameless One - among them, surrendering to the Abyss Evil Dragon Wintherspoon, being active on the alliance's battlefield was the most serious crime, and turning into a demon to corrode order was the second most serious crime. Thousands of years later, there are still lunatics like Newell who are trying to sacrifice blood to the people of the city in exchange for power. In comparison, killing people, taking their bones, kidnapping women, and spreading plague and chaos are just minor evils. Another example is that demons are invaders from outside the world. They are cold-blooded and ruthless, and their only purpose of existence is to turn Knox into the territory of purgatory. Uriel also feels that the nameless ones should not be equated with demons.
Uriel didn't know whether the nameless people in the other world were willing to become demons. But he witnessed Gunther joining a secret society in order to seek asylum.
Before that, he was just a button-producing worker in a workshop. He did not dare to defend the woman he loved when she suffered domestic violence. He was devastated by his mother's death, and even saved a strange prostitute who fell into the water. His use of magic as a part-time killer is worthy of criticism, but the apprentice cannot see that he is doing so in an attempt to destroy Blumnot and even Knox as a whole. After all, being a killer is not a mysterious profession with threshold requirements. People use daggers to kill people and fight each other for love, hate and profit. They would still do this without demons.
Uriel thought he had found home when he left Mr. Eze's house, but the messenger made him aware of his situation with a single movement. I couldn't trust people, and he suddenly realized that if the secret was revealed, I would cause harm to them.
"The monastery in Yotsuba City," Joey said, "has been rebuilt."
He thought I was thinking about church. Uriel did not deny it. Andrew's confession made him feel lonely, and the experience of Tara and Pod still filled him with anger. So many things happened in just three days. Uriel found that he could actually accept everything. This was really a huge improvement... although I would rather I didn't make any progress.
"I'm tired," he replied softly. Even tracking down the church’s baby trafficking can’t lift the spirits. "I feel like I'm working in vain."
"You haven't started yet," the messenger pointed out.
"I have such a hunch. Mr. Oswald thinks that I am talented in astrology, and my hunch has always been accurate." Uriel found a feldspar covered with black and red spots, and he swept away the soil on it. He fell down as if losing all strength. "I don't think we'll find any clues in Yotsuba City. Newell attacked there, and Gaia's church wasn't spared either."
It is engraved on the icon: We cannot slander the faults of noble people, just as we do not tolerate the faults of evil people because of their temporary good deeds. Uriel remembered this sentence for no reason. "There's no reason for him to let Abbey go."
The young man agreed. "Our original plan was to go to Iron Claw City."
"Why do you always go to Iron Claw City!" the apprentice blurted out. He remembered the messenger saying the same thing before arriving at Veniwaise.
"Because of a prophecy." The messenger didn't hide anything. He explained the prophecy to his apprentice, though not in precise terms. "The Red Prophecy comes from the saint Deimosis. You know, he is the greatest astrologer in Knox, and his predictions have never been wrong. He is the favored one of Otto, and Otto is fate itself... Nothing in this world is hidden from His eyes.”
"Since He knows everything, why not stop the undead in Four Leaf City and stop Ms. Aurora and Berti?" And Father Fielding's business.
The messenger stared at him without saying a word. This kind of question was completely unreasonable, and Uriel regretted it as soon as he said it. He should have understood that the eyes of the gods would not stop for one person. In the eyes of gods, all things are equal. I am no longer a mortal praying for the blessings of gods.
"The gods do not interfere in the human world, but they have their own agents... The saints observe the stars and wait for Otto's instructions."
"Do gods really exist?"
"Who knows. But at least their instructions are true. The White Prophecy made the Glorious Council prepare for war in advance. Maybe their Lucia loves the believers more." Uriel noticed that Joey's name was White This is very consistent with the naming method of the tower astrologer. He finally understood what "Red Messenger" meant.
"I don't know much about prophecies," he admitted. "But since we can get guidance, why not take action immediately?"
"You and Larsen have the same opinion." The young man replied, "But prophecies are not signboards, and they are difficult to interpret. A small mistake will have serious consequences... and judging from past experience, the more people try to interfere with the future, the more likely they are to interfere with the future. The worse it will end."
"Then what problem are we going to deal with?" If the Destiny Assembly decided to sit on the sidelines, Uriel would be disappointed, but he could only obey the arrangement.
But now that Joey left the tower, it was impossible to help him avoid the fire test.
"Come to another apprentice of Larsen. She seems to be involved in the Red Prophecy. But that is not the main purpose now." Joey told him, "You can solve the sinful transactions of the church and put it first."
Uriel looked at him, trying to find irony and sarcasm on the messenger's face. However, he really couldn't tell any change in Joey's expression. It was like that in the beginning, I couldn't tell what he was thinking. "Thanks."
"Don't you want to save it?"
"This is unlucky."
Joey didn't respond, meaning it's up to you.
"I'm sorry." But Uriel suddenly apologized to him again, "I really thought that precognitive dreams were magic attached to the ignition of fire. I should refuse."
Even the messenger didn't expect him to say this suddenly. "Reject what?"
"Being your apprentice... I bring you danger. If Dean Rubin knows my secret, he will seize the opportunity."
"He can't beat me."
"He will doubt you," Uriel said.
"The Gathering of Destiny is not the nobles of the kingdom." Joey turned around, "The Nameless One is not just a political enemy. Demons in the mysterious realm are heretics, not heretics, understand? Different beliefs can still coexist, and different souls can only live and die. He He will not doubt me, he will be sure that I am covering you up... It is impossible for a demon hunter to be unaware of the existence of demons."
"Then why are you still doing this?" Uriel didn't understand. "Sauron also saw me lighting the fire. It thought I was a survivor of Sovero's potion."
"I modified its memory runes."
The seven-pointed star on the messenger's shoulder shone brightly. "You made the right choice. Eds Haynes has lost his mystery, and telling him the truth is of no use. As for Larson, he is a student of Sage Demosis, and you can only get the ending of a secret execution. Others too Unreliable, do you know why I told you to stay away from Agatha Poirot? She found eight spies in Croy Tower, five of them were low-level officials of the Department of Affairs, from different mysterious fulcrums. The other three were all It was the Nameless Ones…one of whom was her mentor, the astrologer in the astronomy room.”
