When the vampire reinforcements arrived, there was only a mess left for them to clean up. Roma crawled back into the pipe, which was still her source of escape. No matter the vampire or the dark wizard, they are not tall enough to pass through the opening, and it is impossible to think that she will hide inside...with the exception of one person. The man who helped her for some reason.
But this was not the reason for Roma to wait above the vampire with bated breath. Not all the people who helped her were good people. The dark wizard Azrub who died at her hands was an example. The dark wizard not only helped her, but also asked Uriel to go to Shimmer Forest to find her. However, he planned to kill all the apprentices in Six Finger Castle. Uriel was keenly aware of the trap and took her out of the Six Fingers Castle through the adventurer's method. In any case, Six Fingers Castle is now destroyed by the flood, and Azrube has gone to meet his former master.
No. Roma thought, I shouldn't believe a word he said. The idea of Six Fingers Castle being destroyed by floods sounded like a fantasy, let alone the other news he told her. Although the rising tide in Silverdome City was the key factor that caused her to come here, Sauron said that it was due to the influence of the broken moon... She rubbed the ring in her gloves. "Soren Gessen." She shrank in pain from the wound, which was why she didn't go anywhere.
"My magic power is almost exhausted," the ring said, "If you want to ask anything, ask quickly."
"Do you have a cicada?" Roma was willing to pay any price to alleviate the pain.
"No. I can only help you stop the bleeding." The method is to cover the wound with a layer of frost, but it does work. "Numbing is also a good way to relieve pain, but I still recommend you use fire."
That’s right, short-term pain is worse than long-term pain. This is vaguely an old saying. "Azrubo said that the Lord Commander is dead." Roma asked, "He is lying, right?"
"I have no idea"
Maybe he wants to lie to me. Roma didn't dare to think about the reason why the dark wizard did this, because all possibilities would overturn this conclusion. There was no need for Azrub to lie when he regarded her as a prisoner. He lowered his guard... This meant that the White Envoy might really die in the Six-Finger Fort. And this is all my fault. If she hadn't escaped from the tower privately, Chloe wouldn't have sent a messenger to Eastman to find her. Roma has the courage to face enemies like the dark wizard, but does not have the courage to admit this reality. Did I kill Uriel’s mentor and the Sky Realm Commander of the Tower? How can this be true.
But I do it for Aiken, for the mother-son relationship between him and Manai... and maybe for my own selfish reasons. Roma once firmly believed that she was right. She was out of place in the tower and full of nostalgia for her hometown. These thoughts tortured her as pain, and Roma had never liked enduring pain, not even endurance. If something makes people feel extremely painful, doesn't that mean it is wrong?
……of course not. She knows the answer. There is no right or wrong in letting one person feel pain, the real wrong is letting everyone else feel your pain and have something to lose from it. I put the whole of Croita in crisis, and everyone was worried and anxious about me.
Uriel's attitude was very bad when he came to her, and Roma only learned that he was suffering from even more torture at night in the hotel in Shimmer Town. For the first time, she realized that her life was actually smooth sailing and that all the troubles were caused by herself.
Out of the guilt and confusion that arose in a short period of time, Roma agreed to return to Knight's Bay with Uriel, but she immediately threw her promise behind her after being forced to separate. Never had she hated her own individualism so much.
"I..." Her apology got stuck in her throat. Who am I going to apologize to? Will Uriel get news from his mentor when he arrives at Knight's Bay? Ms. Helen is still waiting for me at Chaosheng Castle. What would happen to Chloe if the Commander really died? Her apology was feeble. "It shouldn't be like this." Roma said in a small voice, "Azrube is talking nonsense."
The ring said nothing.
"You are also lying to me, right?" Roma knew that she had to put aside her emotions to think about the problem, but the difficulty seemed to be greater than overcoming the pain. All her courage was exhausted in battle, leaving no room for deep reflection. "The prophecy you told me. I think Azrube must know something, otherwise he would not believe it so easily."
"..."
"When I first landed on Grey-winged Bird Island, you kept urging me to leave. After I discovered the secret ritual, you became silent. At least you weren't as anxious as you were at the beginning. Do you think I came to the right place?" My life What kind of? Even the commander of the White Envoy will die. The previous leader of the tower, the Gray Messenger, was also Ms. Helen's father. He died on the battlefield. Rome is at one end of the battlefield.
Smoke swirled between the pipe walls.
"What happened in the tower?" Roma took off her gloves. The coagulated blood clot separated from the hair and cowhide, and the wound on her palm was torn apart with severe pain. "What's that prophecy about? Do you know what I'm going to do? Astrologer—"
"Prophetic Dream" Sauron interrupted her. "Not astrology. Even if I tell you, you don’t understand.』
"tell me!"
After a moment of silence, the frost marks began to squirm. "I have explained to you the existence of the secret ritual. It is an inhuman mystery and is different from the magic that we order creatures can use."
"It has the same origin as the mysterious place." Roma said, this was her best understanding. "Mysteries are mysterious phenomena."
"You can define things to help yourself understand them better. But in a broad sense, mystery is just a phenomenon. Astrologers rely on interpreting the stars to find revelations about destiny, but they also use media to explore the past and future of things. The tower has monitored Knox through the changes in the stars and laws for thousands of years, but even if they are just To defend passively, you must also understand your opponent and make changes based on intelligence.』
"Is this the purpose of the observation deck?" Roma regretted breaking the observation ball. That's where it started, she thought. "Larsen and Lord Saint are busy with this every day?"
"Originally, His Excellency the Lion was on duty at the observation deck, but now it is replaced by His Excellency Oswald Sidney, the 'Silver Cross Star'. The observation deck is not a mysterious object of astrology. The great astrologers have their own work to do." Sauron the Ring said angrily, "Don't interrupt. Now that you asked, please listen to me honestly.』
Roma shut up. She just needed to digest the new idea that the observation deck was not a mysterious object.
"Chloe can view Knox's law status in order to detect abnormalities at any time and send messengers to solve or remind them."
"remind?"
"Before the War of the Saints, there was a position called Law Messenger in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but it was later abolished by a vote of the Destiny Assembly. The tower has newly established the position of 'inspector envoy' to oversee the subject country, and the corresponding work has been completely integrated into the responsibilities of the air commander. Yes, that's why my master rarely comes back to Brumnot. Can you be obedient?』
"Yes." She began to lick her paw to indicate that she would not interrupt it again.
"...But this alone is not enough. Some crises cannot be solved through emergency response, because even the danger itself is subtle and gradually increasing. Subtle changes may go unnoticed by astrologers, but they can sometimes be fatal. The most profound lesson is a story familiar to everyone in the Mysterious Realm: the dragon plague brought about by Wencespoon thousands of years ago. At that time, the tower fell into a civil strife and almost fell apart, until our saint, Demosis, the 'Night Awakening', put an end to it all. Since then, the tower has begun to incorporate prophetic dreams into the observation system. We must know all the crises that may threaten Knox in the past and future, and then deal with them from now on.』
“What is the difference between prophetic dreams and astrology?”
Perhaps because she got to the point of asking, Sauron didn't tell her to shut up. “The difference between prophetic dreams and astrology is like the difference between occult and magic. It is Otto's revelation to mortals, a clear sign before disaster comes. When the prophecy comes in the form of a dream, it means that Knox will suffer a huge threat. Dreams have an appeal that neither astrology nor other means of prediction have. Scholars believe that they are the shadow of the soul's flame, and our personal destiny is undoubtedly under the fate of the entire Knox, so dream predictions are also the most important. 'Mysterious phenomenon'
"Why does Order pass us prophecies?"
"Not for you. Only certain people can receive the revelation of prophetic dreams, such as the saints in the tower. He is called a 'prophet' precisely because of his outstanding achievements in prophecy, but the prophet gets prophecies precisely because he is a prophet. Excluding the influence of mystery and profession, the most common theory at present is that mortals dreaming of prophecies are an extraordinary gift. Such people can observe the 'phenomenon' of destiny in the world through the shadow of the soul just like an astrologer observes the stars." The ring wrote a long string of characters, "So, it is not the order that is transmitted to us in dreams, but us. Some of them discovered clues about their fate. We are the ones taking the initiative here.』
