"The unknown person in the astronomy room?" Uriel was surprised.
There are many astrologers in the tower, but the astrologers in the Affairs Department and the astrologers in the astronomy room are completely different things. The former can only be regarded as a political officer, while the latter is an astrology scholar and the backbone of Croita. It is normal for demons to sneak into apprentices and even the affairs department, but in the astronomy room... half of the members of the Destiny Assembly are from the astronomy room. Excellent astrologers will obtain mysterious materials that span the path of death, completing a leap in mystery and an upgrade in life levels. This means that the Apostles of the Abyss have had the opportunity to participate in the upper levels of the Tower of Sky and the Knox Observation Defense Line, and the damage they can cause is simply unimaginable.
"But there is a difference between the Nameless One and the Starless Night... I believe she will notice your secret, so she wants you to stay away." Joey said. "All three unknown persons were executed, but the news has been leaked. Larsen had to change the duty list of the observation deck and let the lion Zachary be responsible for guarding." He paused, "The observation deck can monitor high altitudes. All the tributary countries of the tower, and rely on the stars to observe the entire Knox. It is the core of the secret array of the Tower of Croy."
"Mysterious Array?"
This question caused the messenger to be silent for a while. "A magic ritual that can... run on its own for a long time. It's not a trial of fire, it's not a matrix pattern... it's not alchemy." His expression began to clearly fail to convey his meaning. "It's like a telescope, round? Made of glass. Pretty much."
Forget it, this is simply making things difficult for people. Uriel quickly expressed that he understood. He was now extremely convinced that the messenger's reticence was not due to indifference, but rather to a certain degree of difficulty in choosing the words to use. After all, who doesn’t know something they’re not good at? The apprentice actually found it a bit funny when he heard his description. Obviously Joey also understood his problem, so he tried his best to avoid embarrassing the entire Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Tower by opening his mouth... Fortunately, there was no obstacle to his normal conversation.
Sauron usually helped explain, but now that the mentor himself spoke clearly, Uriel felt better. He trusts me even more than he trusts the rune life in the tower. I also revealed all my secrets. No, Joey already knew the truth. He was protecting me, a fool who knew nothing about mystery or danger. But this protection is also dangerous. Dean Rubin's men barely ran into those demons of the starless night... let alone the Trials of Fire.
He didn't know how Joey escaped the annual fire trial, nor how he became the leader of the sky realm in the tower. But it is never a good idea to avoid it. As long as someone connects them with the unknown person, avoiding the trial will become an unavoidable doubt. Is this why Joey chose to become the patrolling messenger? It seems that he has long understood that I have no choice...
Perhaps because his worries showed on his face, the messenger said: "Agatha Poirot was only a first-class person. The astrologer in the astronomy room at that time was also a first-class person." His tone was calm.
It was impossible for the Ring Stage to resist the Sky Realm, and Uriel understood what he meant. If the detective lady really discovers something, Joey will definitely kill her. There is no room for negotiation here, and there is no chance to make concessions. He couldn't help but tremble all over. Different beliefs can still coexist, but different souls can only live and die. This sentence was nailed into his heart.
"She probably won't tell," Uriel said uncertainly. "I think she's a very fair-minded sheriff. Well, she knows who's right and who's wrong, and she allows us to rely on less formal means to get information."
"A sense of justice." The messenger replied, "Yes. It is precisely because she knows right from wrong that she will hand you over to the Crusaders for judgment. Do you want to place your own safety on her thoughts?"
"No." Uriel couldn't accept it. Death was easy to say, but he was just starting a new life now. Knox has endless adventures waiting for me. He thought of the quicksand country and the Triangular Swamp that Larson mentioned. And Cecilia. The girl who taught me how precious life is. I promised that I would not disappoint her efforts, but it was not my wish to ruin my future with an iron axe. "But...why me?"
"There is no reason. It was Otto's choice."
"What exactly is the Nameless One?"
"What do you think they are?"
I thought. Uriel thought to himself. I thought the Nameless Ones were once enemies of the Alliance, suffering persecution for their position as losers after their defeat in the War of Dawn thousands of years ago. "I remember that there were many demihuman races in Knox. Anyway, the Nameless Ones were all born and raised by their parents. The only difference between them is the fire."
"The Nameless One is not from Sara," the young man replied. He neither opposed nor supported the apprentice's views. "The ignition of the fire happens suddenly, just like a curse. No one knows whether he will become a nameless person, and no nameless person knows when he will become a demon."
"Is that the astrologer?" asked the apprentice.
"Yes. He answered everything under the effect of the truth potion. The secret society has not contacted him. He told us that he just woke up one morning and found that he could use a brand new magic. This is not a profession. knowledge, but rather from the mysterious power of fire. Fortunately, the astrologer did not have to attend the trial of fire, and he carefully concealed his secret until his reasoning-loving apprentice Agatha Poirot discovered the truth."
Uriel swallowed. "Spontaneous combustion of fire occurs suddenly..." This means that everyone has the possibility of becoming a nameless person.
"No, only abnormal fire will spontaneously ignite."
The messenger saw what he was thinking at a glance.
"The trial of fire is to identify the demons hiding among the apprentices - guys like you."
"I'm not a devil." Uriel defended.
"Until that day comes, you certainly aren't."
"how about you?"
Joey was silent. To this day, he refuses to admit his identity. In the tower, he feared the sight of fate, but this was the Four-leaf Field, a small mortal kingdom thousands of miles away from Brumnot. He took two steps away. Uriel's vision dimmed and he couldn't help but raise his head.
"We can't choose our origin." The young man spoke in such a soft tone for the first time.
He stared at the clouds and snow lines in the distance, and the subtle heat in his voice was like the snow water of the Silver River on the horizon flowing quietly under the ice. His expression remained motionless.
"Become human or non-human, fall into the camp of order or demon - there is nothing we can do about it. When you fall asleep, the dream is out of your control. Dreams are naturally sweet and happy, but nightmares cannot be escaped. You can only choose Continue to indulge, or struggle to wake up from it. Uriel, the reality is that you close your eyes in the dream. You either accept its cruelty, or weave a beautiful and false fantasy for yourself. It is up to you, not Gaia nor Otto. You made a choice in the face of death. You saw hope. I hope you can see it in the future. There are storms that the ramparts of the tower cannot withstand... About the Nameless One and Knox, I can tell You are partly real, but more of it needs to be seen by yourself. I made you my apprentice not to teach you to follow in my footsteps. Listen, Uriel, you have the right to choose. You always have."
Joey turned around and looked directly at the apprentice. "But I am different. My path stretches straight forward, and there is no turning back. I will be loyal to my beliefs and responsibilities until I can no longer shoulder it."
In the young man's shadow, Uriel's face scrunched up in confusion. For many years, he thought Joey was asking if he wanted to stay at Croita. And when he understood the meaning, he had already made his choice.
"I have been worried about telling you the truth." Uriel admitted, "About the Nameless One, about the Starless Night... there are many, many things. When the Black Knight asked me if I wanted to become a member of the Society, I refused."
"You should say no."
"At that time I did not understand the difference between the Order and the ordinary Nameless Ones." The only reference was from the ancient elf king Nikros, and the apprentice would never become the evil dragon's subordinate. "A lot of things are a mystery, but I saw the Black Knight slaughtering the believers in the forbidden area... Later I understood what he meant by what he said to me."
Uriel paused for a moment, "I feel that I can't forgive him, but I can't hate him either. Father Fielding's crimes are irreparable, but there are always people who are innocent. However, I also understand that the church and the Starless Night have an intractable relationship. The hatred of demons - because of this, I understand the feelings of demons better. Their family members or friends died under the judgment of the priest, but demon hunters will also fall in the battle. I can't tell who shed more blood between them. a bit more."
The young man nodded. "What you believed was proven to be a lie, and what you were hostile to helped you. Is that what you meant?"
"Pretty much." He admitted.
"You feel confused?"
I have no idea. He wanted to say this, but suddenly he realized that this answer was a reflection of his inner turmoil. "……Yes."
"Do you know what the future holds? Use your magic."
The apprentice doesn't quite understand. "I can only see a few hours ahead."
"It seems like it can't give you any hints." Joey turned around, facing away from him. "Your magic is too weak and the flame is too weak. You cannot rely on it to solve the problem. This shows that your premonition may not come true. Knox's Four-leaf City is not your hometown. There is no need for you to be too scared to go back. You Do you feel that everything you do is useless? But you have done nothing but sigh. Old memories dominate your current fears. Do you want the future to be shrouded in shadow? You can only live in the sympathy and comfort of others? What if? Your courage only ends here. Staying in the tower will only make you afraid all day long. Yotsuye City is not your hometown, but it is your first stop in this world. Your new life begins there. Knight of Proverbs . Do you still remember your oath? The hope you see is to be sad in the tragic past? "
"No." Uriel blurted out, "I am the knight of the goddess."
"A weak knight, I don't think Gaia needs one."
"This is only temporary." The apprentice blushed. He stood up immediately, and the scroll of oath around his waist flashed with light. He felt like he had never been more determined.
"Then prove it to me."
