Uriel did not think that the prophet needed to care about the direction of his studies. The gift of the astrologer, the gift of Ain... were nothing but excuses made up by Joey to cover up my fire nature. It protected me, but it also brought me to the attention of the Prophet...is that right? The apprentice knows that Mr. Larsen's title is "Eye of Iron", which shows that the tower has no shortage of such talents who are good at predicting dreams.
Or maybe it's because of the cloud train. Croita has been tracking this mysterious phenomenon for thousands of years. It is understandable that the Saint is interested in the world of watches and trains. He was also happy to get news about the Cloud Train - even though the outside world was no longer attractive to him, the impact of a foggy time travel was no greater than riding a carriage from the south to the north of the city.
After learning that witnessing the floating cloud train would cause hallucinations, Uriel was slightly surprised for a moment, and then quickly accepted this statement. If he was really affected by hallucinations, it was impossible for Croita not to know the truth - but it turned out that he did appear out of thin air outside the Knox Bar in Four Leaf City.
Right now they're discussing Eastman.
"Chloe will not send garrison there again." The prophet told him, "I am deeply sorry for the accident that happened to Mr. Haines. Unlike other island countries, Eastman has no reach from the Department of Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It’s impossible to keep an eye on the mortal kingdom at all times. We only have one patrolling envoy. What’s more, this is not necessarily a bad thing.”
"I don't understand, sir." Of course Uriel objected, "There are many mysterious creatures appearing in Eastman, most of them from Fulcrum. There are also demon lords! Without the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stationed, the place will become a mess. "
"We don't need to worry about the security of the Eastman Kingdom. As for the problem of demons and mysterious fulcrums, even if the Eastman people ask us for help, the tower will probably not be able to solve it. Think about the Gulf War. If not, there will still be problems with the Ice Territory. Maria. Under the influence of such mysterious accidents one after another, not only the tower, but any mysterious fulcrum cannot guard Eastman."
"But, my lord, Eastman is just a mortal kingdom." Uriel was confused. "The Tower has many vassals and can manage them well. Why is it only Eastman..."
"You mean San Carlos? The White Envoy just dealt with the rebellion in Fog City not long ago."
"That's what Lord Mercury is doing. She uses the black wizard to confuse the locals and set a trap for the White Envoy to drain his power and divert the attention of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Eastman." The apprentice blurted out.
"Don't worry, Uriel, I know the inside story. Astrologers are getting information all day long." The prophet comforted him, "The Affairs Department is already solving the snow disaster problem in San Carlos."
Uriel had nothing to say. The problem San Carlos needs to solve shouldn't be snowstorms. The current situation is partly due to dark wizards and careerists, but mostly due to Joey's brutal methods. The messenger is not unable to dismantle traps, but he always chooses the way the enemy least wants to see and fight back.
“Eastman is suffering from flooding,” he finally said, “and it’s the work of the devil’s cabal.”
"The subordination contract between Croita and Eastman is limited to the mysterious realm. Uriel, it is difficult for an astrologer to help the entire mortal kingdom. I saw the scene in the prophetic dream, but even if it is interpreted, the prophecy must be careful Use it." The Tower Prophet stared at the apprentice with his black hole-like pupils, and there was something awe-inspiring in his eyes. Perhaps that is the wisdom and thinking that is enough to see through fate, and it is a transcendent state that is difficult for Uriel to understand. “What’s more, Eastman is more than just the mortal kingdom you think it is.”
"Venivaz was once the royal capital of Alanvor, and Eastman may also be Alanvor's territory." Uriel said, "The Alanvor elves have disappeared, and their descendants have a new hometown."
"What about Broken Moon? Even I can't stop the gods." The prophet shook his head. "You shouldn't have come to convince me to send more people to Eastman. Uriel, you are the apprentice of the tower. I know, Many astrologers don't care about the Kingdom of Eastman, and even Helen doesn't like it there. But it's... unusual. Very important, Uriel, Eastman is a land where order is important, you don't understand what I mean."
"I don't know much about Eastman in the other world." Uriel admitted. The difference between the inner and outer worlds is mystery, and it is obviously impossible for him to know the condition of Knox's Eastman from the kingdom of the outer world. “What’s so special about Eastman in the occult realm?”
"Didn't Bai Zhizhi tell you?"
"This must be the secret of the tower." Although the envoy did exactly the opposite. Uriel heard countless secrets from his mentor that normal apprentices would never dare to think about, but he himself would keep these secrets secret.
The prophet picked up the pocket watch and held it in his palm.
"You have been exposed to Eastman's secrets, Uriel, but you haven't realized it yet." He said to the apprentice, "Let's do the math, how many demon lords did you meet there?"
Mercury Lord Lametta, Flame Moon Lord Seroma and the Black Knight. "Three." Maybe the prophet didn't know about the appearance of the undead lord, but it didn't hurt to say it now. "There are other mysteries of the Sky Realm."
"You are talking about Mabel Madgreen. She is also related to the situation in the Eastman Kingdom. I remember her grocery store was called the Seven Lights Cottage?"
"You know everything, my lord."
"She went to repair the gap in order she created, and the Glimmer Forest spread from there. You know the relationship between the Nameless Ones and demons, right? Yes, demons are lives outside the order, and they want to come to Nok Si needs to avoid the eyes of astrologers... and the barriers of order. Eastman was the territory of Alanvor thousands of years ago and was one of the main battlefields for demon invasion. Now, do you still think it is just a mortal kingdom?"
Uriel opened his mouth wide, but it took him a while to make a sound. "Could it be Eastman——"
"It is a mortal kingdom with a history of three hundred years. But in the mysterious realm, I call it Eastman, the Gate of the Abyss. According to the Gaia Cult, it is the Gate of Hell."
Door of hell. The evil dragon invades the passage of order. Unbelievable. Uriel was a stranger to the whole world, but the tower saint in front of him had personally experienced the Dawn War thousands of years ago. It was a glorious, tragic and thorough battle. The evil dragon Winserspoon was completely defeated, and the devil disappeared from the land of Knox.
The Grand Alliance of St. Mirende stood tall over the corpses, but while the great Mystical Alliance won the war for Nox and the Order, it became the loser in the ensuing battle against time. The unfinished work of the evil dragon was completed by Akroyd, the dragon of time, and the mysterious realm became the seven fulcrums... But the abyss is still an abyss, and the devil has not disappeared.
"Will the abyss appear again?" This is shocking news, but not surprising. Since the unknown person will shout and beat everyone in Knox, there is no reason why the devil, as a loser, would easily let go of his hatred.
"Basically not." The prophet said, "Kloe Tower monitors the entire order of Knox. Once there is an abnormality - I mean a large-scale invasion - Chloe will alert every mysterious fulcrum. That year Although the 'Victor' Veronka who led us to victory has passed away for many years, most of the saints are still alive. Well, you should mention the existence of the saints when you hear about the war between the evil dragon and the order, right? Otherwise you What you hear is not the full version.”
"You made an outstanding contribution in the battle against the evil dragon." Uriel was still thinking about Eastman and the devil, but fortunately, compliments don't need to be thoughtless. "Then we should pay more attention to Eastman."
"Give a peasant an army and he won't conquer a kingdom. The Gates of Hell deserve attention, but not everyone is cut out for the job. Chloe is the astrologer's tower, even to the Foreign Office. Said, the size of the kingdom is still too unwieldy.”
The saint handed the apprentice a cup of coffee from nowhere. He himself had a glass, and before drinking, he combed his white beard, which was neither long nor short, to avoid getting dirty. Mr. Osvid also had a long beard, but the Prophet was more like an older wise man, while Silver Cross was unkempt and looked almost twice as old as the Prophet, as if he had to be helped even up the stairs. "Of course, we can't just throw it to other mysterious fulcrums. The relationship between the saints is not as good as it was a thousand years ago... You know, I really don't have time to keep in touch with old friends."
A hundred years ago, a war between saints broke out in the mysterious realm. This battle announced the official disintegration of the Great Alliance of St. Mirend, and the seven fulcrums no longer have the same name. Uriel had a hard time deciding whether this was a good thing. "This is the dilemma facing the Order," he said. "Maybe other mysterious pivots will lend a hand."
"They don't mind stretching out other things." The prophet put down the coffee cup. "The tower is the astrologer's tower, Uriel, and we have our own responsibilities. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Department of Affairs are of course indispensable, but the Sky Tower The tower's duty is still to monitor the world. You are a clerical knight, but you must learn to think like a tower apprentice."
"Is this why you stopped the White Envoy from intervening in the White Night War, my lord?"
"The Oath Keepers Alliance is a hodgepodge of multiple races. They sometimes have no sense of proportion, but the Silent School, at least 'Second Truth' Bernard is very aware of Eastman's situation." The Saint of the Silent School learned about Hell. After the situation at the gate, the Gray Winged Bird Island was wiped out with the ritual magic "Aether Abyss". "Besides, your mentor also needs to rest. Croita does not have a second White Messenger, and one Abroz is enough to distract us. Eastman... Croita is really powerless."
Uriel could find no other excuse for persuading the prophet to restore Eastman's garrison; he did not yet know where Abloz was. Even though he is already a high-level person, his knowledge of the mysterious realm is still extremely lacking.
The prophet's attitude was very friendly and he was willing to answer Uriel's questions. But when it comes to Eastman and hell, the apprentice's opinion really doesn't matter. Now that he had finished asking his questions, it was the turn of Lord Saint "Dark Night Qiming" to reveal the purpose of this conversation to him. The prophet turned his pocket watch and the hands started spinning: "So, Uriel, are you willing to be a messenger?"
