Chapter 120: Natural Disasters (Part II)
"We're in trouble. โ
This was Edward's first sentence when Loren walked into the room, and he gritted his teeth and said the second sentence with great difficulty:
"Big trouble. โ
The black-haired wizard frowned slightly, the night watchman in front of him was in a very bad state - there were no less than three injuries that could be seen, and almost none of them were intact from head to toe;
But... Compared to these healable flesh wounds, the mental trauma is significantly more severe...... Despite his attempts to disguise it, Loren could still detect the Night's Watchman's dazed eyes.
This has always been so calm that it even made Loren wonder if he was a paralyzed night watchman Edward, actually... Will you be scared too?
"Have you met Farnesis?" Although it was a tentative inquiry, the dark-haired wizard's tone was very determined.
The silent Edward didn't say anything, just nodded solemnly.
"That's... How did you survive?"
This sentence is very direct and offensive, and can even confuse the uninformedโbut Edward, who has experienced it "firsthand", knows very well that Loren's question is not unreasonable.
In the face of an almost immortal apostle of the evil god, even if he escapes, the chances of victory are still slim.
"I'm lucky. Edward, who was lying on the bed, licked his chapped lips and gasped softly.
Loren can understand... There may really be no more good reason to escape from the current Farnesist than "good luck".
The two men were silent for a long time, and the night watchman, who didn't say a word, just stared at Loren coldly.
Just as the atmosphere became more solemn, Edward let out a long sigh:
"It's my fault... If I hadn't been so opinionated at Ebolden, maybe I wouldn't have ......"
"Self-examination is not now, and what you have in the future is time to regret. Loren raised his hand to interrupt him, "Right now we have a bigger problem - like you said, big trouble!"
Farnesscist ......
A painful tangle flashed in the indifferent Edward's eyes.
The more serious problem is... This was almost entirely the result of a "mistake" by Ebotden's night watchmen โ and what if Root Infinit would have believed it, if he did?
The scandal of the Church, the disgrace of the Empire, the dereliction of duty of the Night's Watch...... If the matter of Farnesis is completely exposed, it will be an unacceptable blow to the Sakran Empire, and the Night's Watch as a derelict person will not be able to escape the blame.
At this point, Edward doesn't care about his own life or death, but the result of doing so will inevitably implicate Peter Fasa and them... According to the way Ruth Infinit handled it, the fate was self-evident.
But if concealed... Such an almost ticking time bomb existence, and an immortal apostle of the evil god, once he decides to unleash his power recklessly......
It would be a natural disaster... Tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of lives will be in vain, and what happened at Eberden will be played out in every corner of the Empire in a more violent, cruel and horrific way!
If you don't prepare as soon as possible, who has the power to stop the madness of this natural disaster?
On the one hand, there are thousands of innocents, and a lunatic who knows the empire well and will do whatever it takes;
On the one hand, it is the life of a friend, at the price that he is about to bear;
The black-haired wizard knew very well how painful Edward was now, and that stiff expression did not hide the fear of his life, but the consequences of his "small negligence".
"This thing... Absolutely not to be known by Rute Infinit, absolutely not. After pondering for a moment, Loren spoke softly, "It's not just you and Peter, it's for the Empire. โ
Seeing a flash of confusion in Edward's eyes, the black-haired wizard sighed, "Think about it, what would happen if we told Rutt Infinit about this?"
"Holy Blood Elixir, remember?"
The night watchman's heart sank, and his expression froze.
That's right, if the Night's Watch leader had been thinking the way he had done it, he would have solved the problem in the same way as he had taken the Holy Blood Elixir - because Rut Infinit also knew what the consequences would be if the identity of the Phanascist was exposed, and what terrible turmoil it would have caused to the Empire!
The church and faith are the only bonds that bind the empire and the principalities, and the stability of faith is the stability of the empire, the collapse of faith... It was the beginning of the division of the empire.
Loren still remembers some of the remnants of his previous life, the history books about the disputes between different faiths, and even between different sects, all of which began with wars and riots and ended with massacres and blood sacrifices.
Rut Infinit must know this, so he will definitely try to solve the Farnes by very stealthy means... But this will never succeed, not even the slightest possibility!
The Black Cross Serol is no ordinary evil god, a brainless god like Metsca, and it is a natural disaster that even Asrael fears so much that he single-handedly planned the destruction of the Dragon Kingdom!
There was a long dead silence and silence, and the two looked at each other.
"And who are we supposed to tell, and who will believe in us and have the power to stand up to an apostle of an evil god?" said the indifferent Edward softly, as if talking to himself and as if asking for answers.
"The archbishop of the Holy Cross, will he believe us?"
"Ebotden's Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower, will the twelve wizard elders lend a hand?"
"Or should we tell His Highness Conrad directly, or his brother Brandon?"
"Or... His Majesty Eckhart II?"
The Night's Watch bowed slightly, his face hidden in the shadows unable to read his expression, but he could be heard gritting his teeth.
His eyes narrowed into a slit, and the black-haired wizard shook his head slightly.
"There is only one person that we can absolutely believe in and have the ability to solve this problem. Loren said calmly: "Other than that, all the consequences are not acceptable to us. โ
"Who?"
"You. Loren curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
The indifferent Edward slowly turned his head sideways and glanced at the black-haired wizard:
"I remember someone saying that we don't have time to delay...... Is it time for jokes?"
"And I'm not kidding you. Rightfully speaking, Loren shook his head: "Come to think of it, you're the only night watchman who's ever confronted Fanescre, and you know very well how dangerous he is. โ
"Who else is best suited to do this but you?"
In a slow tone, Loren said lightly: "Do you remember the 'hypothesis' we talked about when we were at Eberden... I said that when the time comes, we'll discuss whether the idea is feasible. โ
"Don't you think... Is now the right time?"
Edward pursed his lips, his forehead covered with cold sweat, and his hands trembled slightly.
"I... I ......"
Just as the night watchman struggled to get up, Loren raised his hand again to interrupt him, and said indifferently: "You don't have to answer immediately, I don't intend to use this matter to blackmail you, this is just one of my thoughts, Peter Fasa is also a friend of mine, if I can, I don't want anything to happen to you." โ
"Again, whatever Fanecist intends to do... I don't even want to see him succeed. โ
Glancing deeply at Edward, Loren patted him on the shoulder and got up and walked towards the door.
Now Edward is on the verge of collapse, and it will not end well if he continues to push him, and he will have to wait until he has completely calmed down before discussing the next steps.
Get rid of Root Infinit... This is one of the goals that Loren has never given up on since he traveled to Ebolden.
"Wait a minute!"
The night watchman behind him suddenly spoke, stopping the black-haired wizard who was about to go out.
"The man who saved me... It was the knight of the guard of Farnesis, and he left a message for me to convey to you before leaving. Edward stared at Loren, who did not turn around, and his deep gaze seemed to penetrate his back and see his soul:
"Whatever exactly you want to do, whatever you're looking for......
Million... Don't turn into a farnescist!"
