Chapter 31: The storm is coming

The 102nd floor of the Tower.

"It's a pleasure to see you again, Mr. Ulysses. Franks, the eldest of the twelve white-clad bishops assigned by the Order to Helmtika, raised his glass and smiled heartily at the boy, "Thank you for the mercy of the Lord and for the favor of fate." ”

"Thank you. Amy sat down across from him, took the glass that was handed her, and took a sip, "And thanks to our lovely and poor Miss Nun, who seems to have been frightened a lot." ”

"Helena is a good boy," the old man in the white robe stroked his white beard, "you must compensate her well, if it were not for her intention to check the information of the victims, I am afraid you would have to stay down there for three or four days, and perhaps the great miracle of resurrection seven days after death can be achieved in you." ”

"Thank you. The boy shook his head and placed five golden coins on the table, "These gold tolls should be used as compensation for Miss Nun, and thanks to the Order for taking care of me during my death. ”

An empty sentence can highlight the lack of sincerity. The Bishop of the Tower of the Most High said with a smirk.

"I can't afford to thank a behemoth like the Orderβ€”so verbal thanks are pretty much enough. The young Glory Man looked solemn, "If it's not enough, how about adding some information?" ”

"You ......" the old man was silent for a moment, then raised his head, the smile in his pupils was all gone, revealing a light as sharp as a falcon, "I've met Blake." ”

"He didn't tell me his name. The boy was noncommittal.

"Yes, with his proud nature, it is the greatest insult to him to die like this, how can he talk to you about his own affairs. The Bishop of the Order let out a long sigh and spoke again after a while, "Tell me what is the information you have brought with your life." ”

"The Dark Lords are targeting Ulysses, at least one of them. ”

The only one who clearly showed his intention to kill the surname Ulysses was Alfred, but Amy still made a small distortion of the information for the sake of Yulia's safety.

Unexpectedly, the white cardinal of the Tower of the High was not only the slightest moved by this inexplicable news, but took it for granted-

"Sure enough......"

He subconsciously murmured, very soft and low, but it could not avoid the eyes and ears of the glorious.

"Sure what?" the young man raised his eyebrows, his inky black pupils staring at the old man sitting in front of him without blinking, "It doesn't seem strange that the Dark Lords are targeting Ulysses, a small family that is unknown in Hemtika City. ”

"That's right......," the old man paused, "I'm not surprised. ”

"Why do you think that?" Amy asked, he vaguely felt that there was a rather amazing secret hidden in his seemingly ordinary surname, but what the specific secret was, he was still confused, "Ulysses is just an inconspicuous small family in Hemtika, there is nothing special about it, with the strength and status of the Dark Lords, it is impossible to deliberately target such an insignificant Glory Family." ”

"You're right," the Order's white cardinal did not deny the boy's claim, but only went further on this basis, "Ulysses is indeed an ordinary little family, but it is precisely this that the Dark Lords fancy - which Glory Family is easier to deal with than Ulysses, and which is more famous than Ulysses who dares to fight against Duke Goldsworthy?"

"So," he concluded, "there is no better option than Ulysses for the sake of Liwei." ”

The unexpected cannot be refuted.

But...... The young Glory Man narrowed his eyes, "What's the matter with Liwei?"

"Liwei......" Franks organized the language, "Basically, that's what is going on - the Chaos Cultists in Hemtika City have been suppressed for some time ago, and they are not a threat, I am afraid that even the basic spirit has been dispersed, for the sake of boosting prestige, there is no better choice than to destroy a famous but weak Glory Family first, and then fight with the Order and the Glory." ”

"Well," the young man looked at the old man silently, and then asked, "Aren't the Chaos cultists impregnated with blind and stupid chaos both physically and mentally? ”

"If they are completely demonized, they will not be able to move freely within the Tinder radiation. The White Cardinal of the Tower of the Most High shook his head, "Even the Dark Lords, known as the Blind and Foolish Chaos Agents on Earth, have maintained their human hearts to a considerable extent, but their minds have been completely distorted by that indescribable power, and they have become some kind of human-like and inhuman monsters. ”

"I see. Amy nodded, not seeing much change in her expression, "Your Excellency Franks, Yulia will ask you, is that okay?"

"Aren't you going to see her?" the old man raised his eyebrows, as if to see the boy's intentions, "the boy is crying quite sadly because of you, and he hasn't recovered until now." ”

"It's not too early. The young glorified man looked up at the window, "Great sorrow and joy are not good for the body, and I am still alive, please pass on the news to Your Excellency at your discretion." ”

"You're asking me to be a sinner. The white-robed bishop smiled bitterly, "If I had known that I had lied it to her, Yulia would have plucked out all of my beard." ”

"No, she's very well-behaved. Amy didn't pay much attention to the old man's complaints, and with Yuria's temperament, she might be sulking, but she wouldn't have the childish excesses of pulling people's beards - in fact, if you think about it carefully, his sister is also a very precocious child, she never cries since she remembers, even if God cruelly robs her of light, she is still optimistic and strong to fight against the disease, "She has also grown up and can understand me." ”

"Not necessarily," Franks shook his head, "girls are delicate and sensitive at heart. ”

"Is this the experience of people who have come before?" the boy only raised an eyebrow.

"No," a smile crossed the old man's lips, "this is the life experience of being an elder. ”

What can you change and what can you say when you meet Yulia...... The young Glory Man hesitated in his heart, and when the words of promise came to his lips, he could not say anything, and at last he could only shake his head stiffly, and said the thin words that even he himself would not believe: "I believe her...... Will understand me. ”

β€œ......”

Silence, slightly awkward silence.

"Forget it, I'm not qualified to intervene in the affairs of the two of you. The old man sighed, finally giving up his intention to convince him, "You don't have to worry about Yulia, even if the number of the Dark Lords is doubled, the Tower of the Supreme is not a place where they are allowed to be presumptuous. ”

"Thank you. ”

"You might have some trouble over there," the Bishop of the Order frowned, "with the abilities of a dark wizard or a death bird, it will be difficult to keep you safe even if you escape into the lower realms, and the only good news now is that they may not have time to deal with you for the time being." ”

"Looks like the upper district is going to be messed up for a while. The boy was moved.

"That's right," the white-clothed bishop didn't refute, but just patted him on the shoulder, "The three Dark Ministers came to Hemtika in person, presumably the intention is not small, it is very unwise to use the power of the Order or the Glory to fight against an enemy of this level, so we have sent representatives to contact the Glory Ones in the past few days, no matter what level of cooperation can be reached, there will definitely be some action in the near future." ”

"Are you sure?" asked Amy.

"This time it's mainly tentative. The old man replied evasively, "It shouldn't be difficult to achieve the goal." ”

"That doesn't sound optimistic," the young Glory Man raised an eyebrow, "yes, after all, the Dark Ministers are here prepared and fearless, and there must be a corresponding confidence behind them." ”

"But at least you should be safe for a short time," Franks said, "Before the Great War, the Chaos Cultists of the Dark Lords level are not allowed to move around at willβ€”besides, the Chaos Cult that has been suppressed for many years is also in need of rectification, and it will be difficult for them to find time to deal with you." ”

"It looks like a storm is coming. The young man sighed with emotion, and said with self-deprecation, "My little butterfly who can't stand the wind and rain has to leave first-"

"Goodbye then, Lord Franks, thank you very much for your help. ”

He bowed.

Although he could escape into the lower area, he didn't forget that the lower area was still the vortex of contradictions that exploded at one point.

There is no place to stay.

He thought silently, and then took a step.

The figure faded away.

The white cardinal of the Order just watched him go, and only when the figure in sight was completely gone, and only when the sound of the door closing in his ears did he let out a faint sigh, and the smile on his face completely disappeared, leaving only deep exhaustion.

"Sure enough......" he muttered under his breath, "it's no longer safe here." ”
