Chapter 13: Imminent
Above the gray mist, the crimson star representing the "star" also expanded and contracted, and its open circle of light gradually overlapped with the ripples created by the other three, turning into a tide, rushing and reverberating throughout the mysterious space, causing a slight vibration to appear here.
After telling about Klein, Leonard ended his prayer and waited for Mr. Fool to respond.
However, nearly a quarter of an hour later, he still did not receive a single feedback.
"Mr. 'Fool' has always been timely...... Leonard couldn't help but whisper.
Pales Zoroaster in his mind was silent for a few seconds, and reminded in a slightly old voice:
"You recall the words of the 'fool' during this time. ”
Leonard thought carefully and said slowly:
"In the middle of the week, He reminded us not to go to the woods in the northwestern suburbs of Beckland lately...... Well, he seems to be hinting that next week's meeting may not go as planned......"
"Sure enough. "The Fool had some anticipation of Amun's appearance, and they may now be clash in different realms, one wants to keep the Source Castle, the other wants to be the new master of the Source Castle, and your former colleague has unfortunately been involved in this matter. ”
"Did Mr. 'Fool' anticipate this? is this a trap he set for Amon?" Leonard blurted out with his eyes lit up.
It seems that it took some time for Parles to think, and his speech slowed down a lot:
"It could be so, or maybe Amon took advantage of that trap and took the initiative, don't underestimate a 'blasphemer', the mighty king of angels. ”
In Leonard's current understanding, Mr. "Fool" is either the owner of the "Source Castle" who is slowly recovering, and does not know which god it corresponds to in history, or he is the embodiment of "essentia", and currently does not have a good grasp of his own authority and power, and needs to be further transformed.
Either way, Mr. "Fool" is now unable to reach the true god level, and is most likely at the same level as the kings of angels.
In this case, it is quite normal for Mr. "Fool" and the terrible "Blasphemous" to have a fierce fight, and for a long time no one can defeat the other, after all, that one is one of the strongest hidden beings under the gods, more powerful than the "hidden sage" who is often classified in the column of evil gods, and even the gods will have a certain amount of fear.
"......," Leonard's spirit tensed uncontrollably, and he whispered in a worried voice, "Old man, is there any way you can help a little?
That kind of help may be limited, but it should get Klein out of this maelstrom.
Parles Zoroasd laughed when he heard this, and said with obvious self-deprecation:
"Are you expecting too much from me that you shouldn't have?
"Indeed, if Amon had obtained the 'Source Fort', I would have died at His hands, and I might not even be able to escape this winter, and if the Source Castle had stayed with the Fool, I might have a chance to live in the future.
"But is it up to me, an old guy who has just recovered his strength in Sequence 2, to interfere in a battle at this level?
"Even if you use the 'Yesterday Reappear' charm, what can you do in just two or three seconds? Yes, yes, it might help that 'Fool' to twist the situation at a critical moment, but I don't even know where they are fighting now, how can I seize the opportunity?"
Leonard was silenced by the old man's series of words, and he immediately buried his head, raised his hands, pressed the sides of his head, and whispered to himself:
"Could it be that I can only watch like this......"
Parles sighed and said:
"Patience, all we can do at the moment is patience.
"That 'fool' should have a certain tacit understanding with the night, with some gods and angels, and even a cooperative relationship, and they will not let Amun take the 'Source Castle'.
"Be patient, maybe it won't be long before you see the opportunity. ”
Leonard straightened up, tilted his head, took a deep breath, and spit out again:
"I see. ”
............
In the waters off Sunia Island, the Blue Avenger, which had been ordered by the Church of the Storm to attack the harbor and the merchant ships of Vrsac, was hiding a little outside of the safe waterway.
Alger Wilson stood behind the window of the captain's cabin, using his ultra-distant vision to gaze at the coastline that was still far away.
In the eyes of this "newly-promoted" "Ocean Singer", there are many 'captains' who have accepted similar missions, all of whom are the best in the middle sequence, and their joint operation will inevitably effectively endanger the sea lines of communication in Fusak.
And this means that the blow from Fusak will be fierce enough, and there is a high probability that the demigods of Sequence 4 will lead the team, and the possibility of Sequence 3 "War Bishop" or "Silver Knight" cannot be ruled out.
This was dangerous enough for Alger to get himself into similar trouble.
At the same time, the crew, colleagues, and collaborators will monitor each other and not let anyone evade the action, and if Alger is passive and on the brink of danger, it will not be long before he has to decide whether to kill most of the crew and turn into a real pirate on the spot, or lose the "Blue Avenger" and return to Passu Island to face internal trial.
"By the end of this operation, there will be no more than one-third of the 'captains' who will survive...... Alger calmly analyzed, and quickly had an idea to avoid danger.
It's about being in action, but not at the core.
Alger planned to take the group on the island of Sunia in the name of "surprise attack" on the port when the rest of his comrades frantically attacked the merchant ships and supply ships of Vrsack, lurking in the primeval forest, and occasionally causing some controllable and ineffective nuisance to the harbor, so that the eyes of the Fursack demigods would definitely be on the sea, not on his side.
At the same time, in the eyes of the crew, he would be a role model and an example of being willing to take great risks to go deep into enemy territory.
After thinking about the details, Alger immediately gathered the crew and explained his plan, and finally emphasized:
"It will be very dangerous, believe me, very dangerous, we will not be able to advance and retreat as freely as we are at sea, and we may be surrounded by the enemy at any moment, but such an attack will surely surprise the Vosak and bring the results we want.
"Will you stay on the ship and be cowards, or will you follow me as a hero and show devotion to the Lord?"
The crew members were so enthusiastic that they said impulsively:
"Kill the Fusaks!"
"Good. Alger slammed his right fist into his left chest with a look of relief, "The storm is with us!"
"The storm is with us!" the sailors saluted and shouted loudly.
With this in mind, Alger felt the need to borrow the "Darkless Cross" as soon as possible in order to drain the extra extraordinary traits of the "Ocean Singer" - although he exaggerated the dangers of landing on Sunia, there was still a certain amount of risk, so he wanted to get back to his best as soon as possible.
And he had already read the hints made by Mr. "Fool" before, and felt that tonight or tomorrow morning, Mr. "Fool" would officially notify the cancellation of this tarot party.
Of course, Alger also had some speculations in his heart, suspecting that every time Mr. "Fool" canceled the tarot meeting, he was in a certain state of affairs, and he wanted to use this nominal prayer to test whether this great being was still normal.
No, no, you can't tempt God...... This is not a temptation, Mr. Fool did not hint at not being able to pray to Him recently, and borrowing the "Darkless Cross" is something I really need to do in the last few days...... Alger paced back and forth, unable to make a decision for a moment.
It was then that he heard the sound of the waves crashing, and through the additional perspective given by the ghost ship, he saw the water parting on the side of the ship, and a large fish creature appeared.
The strange-looking giant fish opened its mouth and spat out a small metal ball, causing it to land on the deck.
Alger nodded, singing in thanks.
It is a sea creature domesticated by the Church of the Storm, and in this operation, it and its companions serve as messengers between the ships and the islands under their control.
Receiving the thanks, the giant fish shuddered and flicked its tail, and plunged into the depths of the water, swimming into the distance.
Alger watched in silence for two seconds, then summoned a gust of wind that sent the metal ball to the captain's chamber.
Unscrewing the metal ball and taking out the paper inside, Alger just glanced at it, and his eyes froze.
"George III was assassinated ......," Alger repeated with a slightly solemn expression, then remembered the reminder of "The World" Gelman Sparrow and the hint of Mr. "Fool".
This time, he no longer hesitated, sealed the room, and whispered the honorific name:
"Fools who don't belong to this era......"
............
The prayer is about to turn into a chorus...... is Mr. "The Hanged Man" trying to borrow the "No Dark Cross" from the little "sun"? Leonard, uh...... These sounds overlapped and fluctuated, making it seem as if there was a shock around them...... Klein raised his hand and rubbed the corners of his forehead, feeling like he was using an electric drill in all directions.
At this time, he followed Amon deep into the barren wilderness, and saw that there was a grayish mist, there were several ravines, and there were many things lurking in the dark depths.
Compared to the monsters that lurked quietly before, the same kind here is quite special.
Amun, who was wearing a peaked soft hat, raised his hand and stroked the crystal monocle, pointed ahead and smiled:
"In half a day, we should be at our final destination. ”
"Half a day...... It's only been less than a day...... Didn't you say three days?" Klein's pupils seemed to dilate.
Amon smiled and said:
"I'm talking about no more than three days.
"One day is no more than three days. ”
Speaking of this, the king of angels paused for a moment and asked with great interest:
"Did it disrupt your arrangement?
"Does it make you more desperate?"
Crane didn't respond, but reached out and grabbed the void next to him.
