Verse 178: Dream interpretation
Norman's fears may have been unfounded, at least the first day of the trip was safe, and until they chose a hinterland to set up camp, they did not encounter any suspicious enemies, and the "bandits" who had been following the legation disappeared after entering Francis, presumably blocked from Franciscan territory by Archduke Roberts, a reliable ally of the Church.
Although this proves that the Licis is indeed not trustworthy, it at least proves that the Franciscan is safe.
The night at the beginning of autumn was as cold as water, bonfires were lit everywhere in the camp, the nobles and knights were chatting around the campfire after dinner, the knights who kept vigil patrolled the periphery of the camp dutifully, and two owl pets flew into the sky from time to time to inspect the camp, and the security work was in good order.
Norman, who had "just recovered from a serious illness", stepped out of the carriage and was completely like a nobody, which amazed Mario, who was leading the way in front of him.
"God forbid, God has made your illness so much better, and Dr. Mitchell's medical skills are truly amazing. ”
Praise a ghost, it's completely my own good, what does it have to do with that doctor?
Norman secretly cursed in his heart and followed Mario in front of him.
As they passed by a campfire on the way, several young nobles stood up and greeted them in unison, "Good evening, Mr. Norman. Some people couldn't get used to it at once, and at first they made a "Ai" sound, but they immediately corrected it.
Norman looked at Armstrong and other Nicaro nobles, and at this moment they looked at their faces with a somewhat complicated complexion, with mixed emotions such as intimacy, alienation, reverence, and awe.
Norman expressed understanding.
After his identity was revealed, his identity as "Alan Harris" naturally could not continue to play, so he told the reason why he came to Francis and how he impersonated Allen.
Originally, impersonating the nobility was a big crime, but as Lancelot had expected, no one cared about it.
He was the founder and organizer of Nikaheim, an outstanding contributor to the benefit of Nicaro and the Franciscan Church as a whole, and an envoy who was sent down by God the Father to save the legations, and this matter was naturally not mentioned - who would blame such a person for the son of a country baron?
On the contrary, these nobles of Nicaro have to thank Norman for imposting that Mr. Allen, if it were not so, how could he have brought the miracle of Nikhaim to Nikalo?
Ten thousand Alan aren't worth one Nikhaheim.
So it didn't make a little stir and it passed, and everyone was basking in the joy of God's return of peace and sound.
"Good evening, gentlemen. ”
Norman nodded to the gentlemen, and then continued to follow Mario.
Not long after the two had gone, they stopped near a large carriage.
It was the carriage of the Holy Maiden, and Dominic was sitting in front of it.
Mario informed his immediate superior, "The Divine Messenger has arrived. ”
Dominic glanced at Norman, stood up, and moved out of the way.
"Please come in, Mr. Norman. ”
Norman walked past Dominic, stepped into the carriage, pushed the door open, and bowed inside.
It was the Saintess Agnes who invited him over.
After entering, he could see that the interior of this carriage was similar to his, except that there were some intricate patterns engraved on the walls around the carriage, and there was also a shimmering magical light cluster at the top of the carriage to illuminate it, and the holy lady was sitting in the middle facing the carriage door.
She was dressed in a white robe, as she had seen many times before, and her face was as calm and cold as a bend of moonlight.
"You may be seated. ”
After Norman spoke, he sat down on the bench on the side wall, and looked at Agnes with a pair of eyes.
Although he has not had much contact with this holy woman, but in this world, Agnes is undoubtedly the most special person for him, because the two have been connected by dreams since they were children, so even from his previous aesthetics, he felt that Agnes was not ugly, and now after the aesthetic has changed slightly, he feels even less ugly.
This made his voice a little softer: "May I ask the Holy Maiden to come to me, what do you have to say?"
Agnes looked at him for a moment, and instead of answering, she asked him something inexplicable: "Do you know why I became a saint?"
When Norman heard this, the second monk was puzzled, and he didn't know how this person's thinking could jump so much, but he still subconsciously replied: "I don't know." ”
Agnes said, "It's because of a dream." ”
Norman was shocked, and immediately knew what kind of dream Agnes was talking about.
Agnes looked at his expression and knew he had guessed, and continued, "You are right, it was that dream. But at this point she did not go on, but asked Norman again, "Do you know what the scene in the dream is?"
Norman remembers the hellish scene without recalling: a sea of flames tumbling in the sky, sparks falling from the sky, thick thunder and lightning dancing all over the sky, but not splitting the sea of fire, the ground cracked, houses collapsed, the pungent smell of sulfur spread in the air, and countless people screamed and died......
It was a hellish sight, but he knew that Agnes was obviously not asking him to repeat the scene, but asked him what it meant, so he shook his head, "I don't know." ”
Then, Agnes unraveled the secret that had plagued him for more than a decade.
"This year, a man came to Baishan, he cut Baishan in half, buried countless elite churches, seriously injured the Pope, and plunged the Holy See into purgatory. ”
"The dream we had was the scene at that time. ”
Norman was relieved, and finally knew what this dream he had been dreaming for more than ten years meant.
But he immediately realized that something was wrong.
He has been dreaming this since he was a child, and the battle of Baishan only happened this year!
Since he was a child, he has dreamed about the scene more than ten years later?!
"The original saint is someone else, and it is precisely because I dreamed of today's scene more than ten years ago that I was chosen by the Pope as the saint to replace the original saint. ”
Agnes spoke, but Norman's mind was a mess: how could he dream about the scene more than ten years later since he was a child!?
Such a miracle immediately reminded him of the Father.
It is no wonder that the church firmly believes that he is indeed the messenger of the Father, and this should also be due to Agnes - for others, even if he pretends to be a ghost, there are still some doubts after all, but in the eyes of her who knows more information, it is very reasonable and natural.
Now even Norman began to wonder if his pretending to be a ghost was really a messenger of the Father, after all, this dream was not even known to the Knights Templar, and it could not be their ghost.
Could it be that he was really the one chosen by the Father, and the Knights Templar got it right by mistake?......
Agnes continued to speak.
"From what you did, it can be seen that you did receive the oracle from the Father, but as the other end of the dream, I have never received this revelation, so I would like to ask you how you got the oracle. ”
