"What happened in the auditorium?"
"You didn't go see it later?"
"I searched carefully and found the parchment and the saint's magic seeds. It's all thanks to your ice cubes." Uriel said angrily, "If I hadn't been chased by lightning, I would have missed important clues. .Your magic didn’t freeze the storm.”
"Then the Chuyuan woman escaped?"
"Take her kind with you. Your little goal accomplished."
"They escaped very quickly." After putting down the badge, Joey's eyes became threatening again. Uriel turned away from him. "Rego gave that piece of paper to Veronca? Or was it Bernard?"
I really don’t know how he will react if I take out the scroll of oath now. "Rego can't decide where the loot goes because I gave it to Bogart. I think you trust him more."
"Rego is a newcomer, and he is also the prince's spy. He monitors everyone."
"What about you? Who did MacAdam send you to spy on? Bernard Sterling?" Uriel said sharply.
"Crazy people have to be watched."
A madman who will become the "Second Truth" of the Saint. Uriel stared at the snow. To be honest, Bernard is not suffering from a disease. He has unique ideas and profound attainments in mysticism. These are the common qualities of great wizards... including the endless spirit of exploration. Compared to someone who has completely lost his mind, there is no doubt that Bernard still retains respect for law and morality. Now the apprentice has understood that his desecration and use of the corpse was not out of a simple desire for exploration, but that the laws of the ancestors themselves were different from those of later generations. Wizard Sterling is an orthodox wizard, and the content of his experiments is not a secret in the Mercury Temple.
Du Yilin knew what he was doing. So does Croita, it seems. The arrogant attitude of the female messenger in the tower is unappealing, but she is the person Uriel has seen in his dream who is closest to the mysterious realm of the hereafter. If the apprentice had not lived in the outside world since he was a child, he might only have respect for this senior.
From this point of view, Joey is an outlier. "I guess you're not referring to what he did to Chu Yuan."
"But you care, missionary."
Is that why you provoked me to target Sterling? Uriel thought to himself, he knows that I am different from Duileen, and I am not an agent of Veronca like Rhaegal. After Joey sensed the apprentice's limit, he pushed him to the opposite side of the wizard with almost no effort. He used me to get rid of Sticks because it was more serious than protecting Bernard and the basement.
"Both the original and the mortals are all flesh and blood. Criminals deserve to be punished, but simple cruelty will not make people repent, but will only lead to revenge." "Twilight Veil" raided the manor, rescued all the prisoners, and released Gone is the Blue Saint Parsul. "Revenge will not only take away what you get, but also take away what you have. When you competed with Stianna Sainsbury, I met Chiron."
"who?"
"The companions of the water fairy Anais. You really don't remember? They were dragged back by Duilein along with Jayne Hesser. I bumped into him on the spiral staircase because a Silver Song Knight was chasing him from top to bottom. Kill him."
Joey said nothing.
"Bogat and Du Yilin left the castle a long time ago and moved to the backyard. Qilang recognizes you and knows your plan. The Silver Song Knight who is chasing him is Rego, and he brought the Saint back to the auditorium. I don’t know what his intentions are.”
"What could the secret agent have in mind?" the mentor interrupted.
"Bernard's experiment is not a secret, but it is not known to everyone. Maybe it involves something that is not so legitimate. At least the winner will not support it."
"The prince supports MacAdam. You have seen them, in Mortus." His eyes were still piercing even if he avoided them. "You always remember, don't you?"
"I didn't mention this in the first place." Uriel muttered, "Anyway, you are free now. Stefana failed to kill Bernard, you left her seriously injured." So Sterling lives. Thousands of years later...or maybe the wizard will have his own methods. "Rego killed a Primordial, but that doesn't mean he took credit for the attack. Bogart sent him back to Malandeno to report the truth."
"How long has he been gone?"
I also want to know. Uriel wanted to look up at the moon in the sky, but unfortunately there was too much wind and snow, and the night sky was blurry. "I guess it's been three months. It doesn't snow in the castle during the Flame Moon. If you go back in time, you might just meet the reinforcements sent back."
"Reinforcements? Do you think I don't know why Rego went back?"
"The judicial authority will give him the verdict he deserves. Rego violated the order, causing the saint to disappear. However, His Highness the Prince will defend him, and there will be no serious punishment in the end." After all, as a secret agent, Rego has indeed completed his duties Task. "I don't need to tell you, someone will come to you. What happened in the auditorium?"
"You seem to have known this for a long time."
Uriel couldn't deny it. "During the contest between you and Stefana, the Holy Lady was present throughout. Before that, Rego tracked Qilan, and I attracted Stefana's attention. If Parsul wanted to escape, she would not have been in the auditorium at that time. "
"What do you want to ask? Why should I let her go?"
"She convinced you, Joey. Maybe I just want to know how she did it."
"Maybe Heather is better than your god." Joey glanced back mockingly. "You're like a ghost, missionary. Why don't you confess why you're here? I'm curious who you'll pick as your traveling companion, Ana. Silk? Don’t be Gaia.”
"I have no accomplices, and I didn't rely on intelligence to find you. The meeting was purely coincidental, at least for me. To be honest, Joey, what should you doubt about me? Have I betrayed you? Have I ever hindered you?" You Lear couldn't help but ask, "Or, have you been MacAdam's nightingale for so long that you can no longer trust others?" In this case, why does the mentor go with the saint? She should have remained safe in Mortus, away from the power struggles of Aurenia.
A strong gust of wind swept away all the snow, causing the treehouse to shake slightly. Joey lowered his head to avoid a flying dead branch. It hit the eaves and broke into pieces. "You have no right to accuse me, missionary. You understand nothing. You are not...an alien."
"Alien?" Uriel repeated.
"It's worthless. It's no trouble! Do you understand? Go to hell with your god, idiot. The church doesn't care about you, the nobles don't care about you... You have many paths to choose from, you are free, you have choices, but don't come here strip!"
In this dream, the apprentice is just a dispensable traveler, and the ancestors will certainly not pay attention to him. But Joey is different. He is the sinner of Mortus, the Silversong Knight of the Templar, and the dagger of Emperor MacAdam. As early as a thousand years ago, he was already in the whirlpool of power.
"Perhaps you are right." Uriel whispered, "But you also have a new path, Joey. If you leave Aurenia, you will not be the Knight of Silver Song, nor will the Holy Lady... nor is Parsul." Saint of the Cangzhi Forest. Without you, the world will not be destroyed. I just want to clear up the questions and don't care where you go." The strange thing is that the apprentice actually felt sad after the words came out. This emotion was incompatible with his will, and he had to understand it carefully.
Joey studied him. "doubt?"
"It's just a small problem. What's the conflict between you and Bernard? Don't say you can't stand him." The future White Envoy might be like this, but Joey was different. He has done even more outrageous things. If the Knights of Silversong hadn't stopped him, the entire Mortus would have been burned down by him. Uriel knew full well that it was foolish to talk about moral cultivation with the former leader of the free men.
"Sterling is like a businessman. You pay the price and he gives you strength in return. But no matter how much you pay, you will get nothing in the end. His goal is completely delusional. The truth will not be his customer."
"His goal?" Uriel didn't understand. The mentor's faults have not changed in a thousand years.
"Palsur thought he wanted to create a second career for the mythical creature."
"It seems to be an orthodox topic for wizards." Uriel touched his chin, "You don't like it?"
"What the madman wants to do has nothing to do with me. I didn't say this, you have to ask. To be honest? I would rather tear open his forehead and see if there is air inside. People who have something in their head will never waste time. It’s up here.”
"So, you decide that Sterling's experiment will not succeed?" He didn't need to say the answer. There are no mysterious creatures with dual professions in later generations. The magic of the Scroll of Oath basically belongs to one profession.
"I don't know the truth of the experiment." As a facilitator, the instructor actually said. "There is no need to explain the principles of Sterling's experiments to others. Witchcraft is completely different from my magic. But Sterling needs Persuer, who brings the knowledge of the forest."
"So you want to get rid of her?"
Joey didn't answer. He acquiesced.
It seems that this was a little conspiracy that happened on the day of the attack, and both Rego and I were used by him. Uriel realized that he was actually neglecting his mentor. "If you were willing to speak, things wouldn't be so troublesome. The Holy Lady is eager to leave the empire."
"Be vigilant when you go out, missionary. You are not the winner after all."
"Then why are you with her?"
"The end of silence is death." This answer does not answer the question. There was nothing strange about Joey's expression, "You will understand after you stay in the mountains for three months."
Makes sense. The ice jungle is a pale hell, and Uriel doesn't want to bear the cold alone. Back in Eastman's Shimmering Forest, every word Sauron wrote made him feel familiar. No wonder even Joey will be changed. I am afraid that in the huge mountain forest, except for Parsur who is traveling with him, he will no longer hear anyone's voice.
"An unforgettable day, isn't it? I really feel sorry for the Saint." As long as the instructor spoke, the monotonous sound of the wind and snow seemed to be beautiful. "You're not going back to Oregna, I can see that, but going south is not a good idea, the north is better. There's a desert there, it's hot, and your fellow travelers will fall in love with you."
"What are you doing? I'm not cold."
Uriel raised an eyebrow. "It has nothing to do with that...forget it. If someone asks me a question, I will follow your example and create a little trouble for them. The world is so big, it is not easy to find you. But in some aspects, I will not be like you. Yes. What's the difficulty in speaking frankly? I'll say it now." I don't know if it was an illusion, but the wind and snow seemed to be getting lighter. He paused. "I hope you don't regret it. Joey, you don't understand, but I really hope. Gods bless you."
