Chapter 18: The Cause of Medici's Death
Really...... Leonard, who verified his idea, didn't dwell on this matter anymore and returned to the topic:
"Old man, didn't you just ask me whose dream I went to?
"Well, in the course of his revenge on Ince Zangwill that day, Amon's brother, a certain king of angels, appeared. β
In his mind, the slightly old voice did not respond immediately, and it took several seconds before he sighed:
"As I expected, things related to '0-08' will always provoke Adam at some point.
"Fortunately, I chose to sleep in advance. β
Leonard didn't have time to ponder the words of Parles Zoroaster, and instinctively said in astonishment:
"You, old man, you said His name!"
Adam's eyes are coming, or even yet!
The slightly old voice said "hey":
"You know how special Adam is...... However, it doesn't matter if I mention it, he will only think that someone else is talking about him, of course, you don't need to know too much, then you will definitely think about it once in a while, and the more times or the closer you are, Adam will know, just like '0-08', and the scope of influence of '0-08' is a metropolis, and Adam is the whole world. β
As terrifying as Amun...... Another kind of horror...... Leonard froze and forced himself not to think about Adam, and to recall what Parles Zoroaster had just said.
Suddenly, he blurted out without holding back his voice:
"Old man, you are not sleeping because you are weak, but because you are worried about running into Amun's brother?"
"Ahem. Parles cleared his throat and said, "There are two reasons, there is no contradiction, after giving you two 'Worms of Time', my state has dropped again, in this case, what can I do to face the King of Angels and hide my existence? I am so old, old arms and legs, there is no need, I must hide a little." β
Leonard couldn't find the words to refute for a while, and only said after a few seconds:
"Amun and his brother should be older than you, the ancient sun god is the ancient god before the cataclysm......"
Without waiting for Parles Zoroaster to respond, he breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"That is, because of your self-isolation and slumber, the King of Angels didn't notice that there was something wrong with me?"
Parles laughed and said:
"No, I found it. β
"......" Leonard's expression froze, and he almost looked around.
He suspected that Adam was sitting in some corner of the room, quietly listening to his conversation with the old man!
At this time, Parles Zoroasd added:
"You must have been so close to Him at the time, and you thought that you could hide from a king of angels who had the 'uniqueness' of the 'audience' path?
"Moreover, you probably haven't politely shouted 'old man' or 'old man' at the critical moment. β
Leonard was stunned, and subconsciously responded:
β...... You, did you hear me?"
He suspected that the old man had heard it, but he deliberately did not respond, for fear of being discovered by Adam.
"Nope. "I don't need to hear to know what you're going to do, what kind of person you're like, I don't know?"
Slightly embarrassed, Leonard continued:
"Adam must have known that you were parasitized, but because of my slumber and isolation, he could not find out who was parasitic about you. β
That's right...... Leonard breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and what he was most worried about was that Adam had "seen" the old man, and when he returned, he would inform Amon the "blasphemer" of the news.
Thinking of this, Leonard raised a doubt that had accumulated before:
"Old man, what is the King of Angels?"
Without asking Leonard where he learned about this concept, Parles Zoroaster simply explained:
"Those who are beyond Sequence 1 and have not yet become gods.
"If you specifically mention the Eight Great Angel Kings, you are talking about those who served the ancient sun gods before the Cataclysm. β
What does it mean to go beyond Sequence 1 and not yet become a god? How? Accommodating the so-called "uniqueness"? Leonard had the heart to ask again, and doubted that the old man would not explain in such detail, so he decided to say something else first, and then find an opportunity to go back.
He pondered for a moment, and then said in a suppressed voice:
"In the battle for revenge against Ince Zangwill, I have encountered great difficulties and have not been able to even look directly at the enemy, let alone use the 'Spoofer' charm...... When my help from you was fruitless, I chose to recite Mr. Fool's honorific name, and I received feedback.
"When it was over, I went like in a dream to an ancient palace, which was located above the endless gray mist......"
Before Leonard could finish speaking, Pales, who was listening silently, interrupted him:
"Have you seen the Fool?"
"Yes, his breath is deeper than the sea, more majestic than the mountain, and his figure is shrouded in gray mist, so that it cannot be seen. Leonard recalls that he described it in poetic terms, "He had an organization that held a pre-divine meeting every Monday afternoon, a real pre-divine meeting, of which I am a member now." β
Parles was silent again, and did not speak for a long time, and only after a long time did he say:
"The 'fool' told you to tell me?"
"Yes. Leonard, who was sitting there, nodded to himself, lowered his voice and said to the air, "Old man, do you know him?"
Parles Zoroaster sighed and said:
"I don't know, but I can probably guess a little bit of his origin, you don't have to ask what it is, I won't tell you.
"Hehe, this may be your chance, otherwise, it will be difficult for you to become a demigod. β
Leonard opened his mouth and closed again, not mentioning the Tarot meeting again, because Mr. "Fool" did not say anything else about the details.
He thought for a moment and said:
"Old man, is there another king of angels named Medici, with the title of 'Angel of War'?"
Parles gave an "um":
"You can call him 'the Red Angel,' but he's long gone, and you've been near the place where he died. β
"Where?" Leonard was surprised, completely unimpressed.
Parles scoffed:
"Do you have such a poor memory of the 'night' path? I remember that your goddess is not like that.
"Do you remember that underground ruins you found in Beckland earlier?"
"The Tudor-Trenthorst Empire, where Arista Tudot became the 'Blood Emperor'?" Leonard asked abruptly.
The slightly aged voice of Parles Zoroasd echoed again:
"Yes. β
Leonard tried to sort out the logic behind this, and at the same time informed the old man of the evil spirit.
"Medich's legacy spirit and the remnants of the two angels of Sauron and Einhorn have merged together to form a new evil spirit?" Parles repeated Leonard's words in disbelief, and then couldn't hide his smile and said, "The three of them are absolute mortal enemies, and there is no one with you and none of me, and after death, they are not separated from each other, and they merge into one, this is really, haha, it must be very lively." β
Leonard didn't understand what the old man was laughing at, and subconsciously asked:
"Are they mortal enemies?"
Parles restrained his smile and said:
"Yes, Medici was caught because he was dealing with the ancestors of the House of Sauron who had fallen into his trap.
"He was not defenseless, but he was mainly concentrated on the side of the 'primordial witch', who knew that Alista Tudot suddenly went crazy, oh, Amon and Adam played a very important role in this matter. β
That evil spirit and Adam are still enemies...... why did the "Blood Emperor" arrest Medici and the two angels of Sauron and Einhorn? The place where they fell was the palace where Arista Tudor became the 'Blood Emperor'...... Well, according to Mr. Fool, after Adam got "0-08", he was closer to the divine position...... Is this the reason why Amon dealt with the old man? Leonard had a guess and wanted to ask, but in the end he didn't speak.
He was afraid of touching something too secretive and giving the old man a bad reaction.
He planned to find another opportunity to ask about this at the Tarot meeting in the future.
After a brief silence, Leonard looked at the closed door and said in a suppressed voice:
"Does Mr. 'Fool' and the church have a certain tacit understanding to some extent?"
"So far, no one has come to investigate, so you can say yes. Parles Zoroaster replied fairly directly.
Leonard nodded imperceptibly:
"What are they going to do with me next?"
"How? Write down your merits, and when you're done digesting the potion, you'll be promoted to Sequence 5, and then assign you a 'Red Glove' team to complete your mission, or transfer you to a large diocese like Beckland as a deacon in charge of a certain aspect. Parles said unconcernedly.
Back to Beckland...... Crane seems to have something to plan in Beckland...... Leonard's thoughts drifted apart.
He didn't talk to the old man again, he fell to the wall, put his hands behind his head, and sat casually.
............
Late at night, outside a row of warehouses in the border city of East and West Byrang.
Dawn Dantès, who was dressed in a formal suit with white sideburns, took a gold-studded cane, exchanged the code with the officer on duty, gave the code, and then saw the other party open the door of a warehouse, and heard him say in a relaxed tone:
"It's all inside, you inspect the goods and move them by yourself.
"Also, give me the balance before you leave. β
Daun Dantès bowed his head lightly and weighed the suitcase in his hand, which contained a full 5,000 gold pound bills, all from Mesanyes's advance.
At this time, in the three-story building separated by two warehouses, two figures were quietly watching all this.
