Chapter 331: Locusts Blowing from the East Wind
Cairo, the center of power in the North African Empire, the Palace of the Apocalypse, the main hall, is receiving the Minister of the Interior
Minister of the Interior: "Due to the untimely release of early warning information, the poor quality of housing in the fringe areas of the city, and the lack of people's ability to escape and defend, this extreme weather and climate event caused heavy casualties and property ......" - reported the disaster damage
Apocalypse Sovereign: What are the so-called "heavy casualties"? βInterrupted
Minister of the Interior: "At this stage, 23 people have died and 466 people have been hospitalized with injuries. β
Apocalypse Monarch: "This is not the final number?"
Minister of the Interior: "Rescue work is underway, the specific number of casualties is still being counted......"
Monarch of the Apocalypse: "Hmm...... What about the loss of property?"
Minister of the Interior: "From the current situation, more than 500,000 acres of crops in the villages around Cairo have been severely affected, and some farmland may be lost. The Ministry of the Interior has launched a first-level emergency response to natural disasters, set up a leading group for disaster relief, and convened relevant departments at all levels to study and deploy emergency rescue and disaster relief ......" -- to report on disaster relief work
Apocalypse Monarch: "This hailstorm is not small. - The expression was grim
Home Affairs Minister: "Yes, experts from the Met Office say that this extreme weather is a once-in-a-century event and may be related to global warming. β
Apocalypse Monarch: "Hmph, a group of afterthought bricks, the argument is the truth, but the prediction is inaccurate or untimely, and it is not the "witch" of Waganda who is making the bad (referring to the [Storm Girl] - Queen Ororo of Waganda......" - the more he talked, the more angry he became
Minister of the Interior: "The Ministry of the Interior has decided to give the director of the Meteorological Bureau a major administrative demerit, and he will be very responsible for not issuing the early warning information in a timely manner. β
Apocalypse Sovereign: "Well, you've handled it very well, I'll leave it all to you......" - waved his hand, signaling that he could step back
Minister of the Interior: "......" - stand still
Apocalypse Monarch: "What else?"
Minister of the Interior: "The opening ceremony of the apostolic audition will be held in the center of the city tomorrow, can your Majesty let the preparatory committee ......?"
Apocalypse Monarch: "Don't be too extravagant?"
Interior Secretary: "Yes, the rural and rural-urban areas of Greater Cairo were the hardest hit by the hailstorm, and the ...... was held in the city center at this time"
Apocalypse Monarch: "Alright, I see what you mean, I'll tell the [Plague] Apostle (Chairman of the Preparatory Committee) to pay attention to social perception." "-Termination of the conversation
Minister of the Interior: "His Majesty ...... Shengming" - bow and leave
Apocalypse Monarch: "(After the Minister of the Interior leaves) ......" - rubbed his temples, tired
Apocalypse Monarch: "How did I suddenly become weak and sleepy...... Don't be a "relapse of an old disease" (sleeping disorder) ......" - worry
Monarch of the Apocalypse: "(to the electronic clerk) to draft a decree proclaiming that the [Plague] Apostle hastened into the palace for an audience. β
Electronic Scrivener: "Yes...... (Three seconds later) [Mr. Omen] has entered the palace. β
Apocalypse Sovereign: "So soon?" - unexpectedly
Electronic Scrivener: "At the time of the announcement, someone else was going through the formalities at the reception to ask for an appointment, so ......"
Apocalypse Monarch: "What? He still needs to go to the reception to ask for an appointment?" - strange
PS: The four apostles have privileges such as "praising and worshipping without a name, entering the court without tending, and going to the temple with a sword".
Electronic Scrivener: "Along with the [Plague] Apostle came a "folk friend" of His Majesty, who applied for her. β
Monarch of the Apocalypse: "My folk friend?" - I don't know who it is
Electronic Scrivener: "Zatana Zatara, the world's top magician, identity verified. β
Apocalypse Sovereign: "Ah, when did Zatana come to Cairo, what did the Immigration Bureau do, and why didn't you report it...... (figured out) she's entering the country illegally?"
Electronic Scrivener: "Yes, the Immigration Bureau does not have her entry record. β
Monarch of the Apocalypse: "[The Plague] brought her with him to ......" - muttering, contemplating
Electronic Scrivener: "Did Your Majesty receive her?"
Apocalypse Monarch: "See." -- Beat the spirit
Electronic Scrivener: "Yes." "-- Notify the reception desk of the release
Two minutes later, the court celebrant led Mr. Omen and Zatanna up to the temple
Court Celebrants: "[Plague] Apostle Audience~~"
Mr. Omen: "See Your Majesty." "--A shallow bow
Apocalypse Monarch: "Hmm. - Nodding in return
Court Celebrants: "Zatana Zatara Audience, Salute~~" - Staring at Zatanna (Overseer)
Zatana: "Grass people, Zatana Zatala, see His Majesty." "-Kneel down on one knee and want to make a great salute
Apocalypse Sovereign: "Excuse me, quickly flat...... Zatana, what wind has brought you here?" - energetic, high-spirited, not tired at all
Zatana: "East Wind." - hint
Apocalypse Monarch: "East Wind...... You flew straight from Gotham City, China?" - a kind interpretation
Zatana: "No, I'm from New York. β
Monarch of the Apocalypse: "New York is west of Cairo. β
Zatana: "The religious meaning of the 'east wind' should be very clear. "--Picked
Apocalypse Monarch: "Hahaha, you don't mean "God made the east wind blow on the earth and brought the locusts" in the book of Exodus, right?"
Zatana: "That's exactly what it means. β
Apocalypse Monarch: "So you're a "locust" sent by God?"
Zatana: "Your Majesty guessed correctly again, according to the book of Exodus, the hail plague was followed by the locust plague......"
The court salute officer: "Presumptuous! How dare you slander Your Majesty with the natural disaster that has just occurred in our country?" -- he scolded sharply
Zatana: "I'm not slandering ......"
Court Celebrants: "(Completely disobedient) Evil words confuse the people, do not rebel against the truth...... (Turning his head to the outside of the temple) Someone, ......"--I wanted to call the soldiers outside the temple, but I suddenly stopped in the middle of the shout
Mr. Omen: "Calm down, don't get excited, let the family finish talking." The ruby on his forehead sparkled
Apocalypse Sovereign: "Omen, you ......" - a feeling of weakness from within his body struck, and he suddenly felt dizzy
Zatana: "You shouldn't be surprised, the plague before the hail can be classified as a plague. β
Apocalypse Monarch: "Before?"
Zatana: "Yes, he's betrayed you a long time ago, but he's been waiting for his time. β
Apocalypse Monarch: "Timing?" - Look at Mr. Omen
Mr. Evil Omen: "Now the heavens have sent a show, Your Majesty should ask the sages of the world to Zen, and my lord will retreat from the land of a hundred miles to obey the destiny of heaven." β
Apocalypse Monarch: "......" - could no longer hold on, his body went limp, and he fell from the throne
Me (voiceover): "I'll go, won't I, it's only one chapter, such a big boss says it's over when it's over?"
