Chapter 62: The Connection Between Past and Future (214)

"I, I...... I know that I know that I am a little strong, and that you are the only one who may help me. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info I can't ......help it" Finn's expression was mixed with panic and unwillingness. Hohenheim's secrets frightened him, and after witnessing the power of the gods as an emissary, all the rhetoric he uttered in front of Link became empty words.

"I don't want to be harsh, but...... The choice is yours, Finn. You are not a three- or four-year-old child, and you should be responsible for your actions. You don't have to worry about food and clothing now, you don't have to get up early and work late, you live in a floating city where there is no threat from the undead, you don't have to worry about being attacked in your sleep, and you are respected by all the mages, don't tell me anything that is just a false meaning on the surface. As long as you are the messenger of God for one day, no one will dare to be disrespectful to you face-to-face, as for their inner thoughts, hum...... It is impossible for children to comply with their parents 100% and force these to be brain problems. ”

"But......" Finn seemed to try to argue for himself, but Link didn't give him a chance to speak.

"If you don't want Bray to replace you, don't say anything about these disrespectful words, don't even think about it. ”

This warning sentence finally succeeded in containing Finn, but although he shut up, the look in his eyes made Link unable to relax. Not only for the sake of his compatriots, but the boy gave a lot of attention when he first arrived in Edgar, even if it may seem insignificant now, but it was a relief to him at the time, both public and private, Link didn't want Bray to replace Finn. In Link's eyes, he was a half-grown child, who left his parents in an accident at an early age, and grew up in peacetime, having neither experienced war, nor gods or monsters, and his adoptive father died young, and only needed proper and correct guidance......

Suddenly, Link felt that something was wrong.

Regardless of his previous status, as long as he becomes an oracle, he will establish a soul contract with the gods, and it stands to reason that there should not be such almost rebellious spiritual fluctuations, and the gods will cut off and curb the bad thoughts of their own gods at the beginning of their own gods, rather than allowing the dangerous thoughts to grow to an uncontrollable degree.

Could it be ...... Or ...... Did he do it on purpose? What exactly did Bray want to do?

Thinking of this, Link stretched out his hand and pointed at Finn's forehead with lightning speed, and the young man who was caught off guard widened his eyes, and the whole person was frozen in place, his whole body was stiff, and he couldn't even move his eyes.

Link glanced at the back of Finn's hand, and the Seal of Wisdom only flickered slightly, and then didn't move again.

And so it was...... Seeing that Bray didn't make any movement at all, Link breathed a sigh of relief and his expression became solemn.

Bray did know what happened to Finn, but he refused to say anything, either the people behind the scenes had the strength above him, or they were too involved to do it. Either way, it's not easy for Link to deal with. And if you want to know the truth, there is only that trick, tsk~ No wonder Finn didn't stop me by naming me Bray, it turned out to be such a calculation, old fox!

"Divine revelation. ”

With the casting of Link's magic technique, Finn, who couldn't move, noticed that the originally silent forbidden book area became quieter, and even the lighting that rose and fell under the effect of magic was much dimmer, and as far as the eye could see, the entire library seemed to be frozen old photos, full of weirdness, this, what's going on?

There was silence with only a fluorescent glow, and then, the translucent phantom overlapped with the forbidden book area, and Finn was surprised to find that the chaise longue he used to sit on most often was gone, and a red-robed female mage walked over with a face full of unhappiness, and behind him was an inanimate constructor, like a spider, whose four hands were holding objects that he could not find.

Finn was so impressed by the scene that it was his first day in Hohenheim.

"It's something you want. The female mage's impatient tone ordered the demon to put down the chaise longue.

"That...... What should I do?" the young man, who had just been promoted to the Divine Messenger, nervously and crampedly, peeked at the gorgeous woman who was a head taller than him.

"It's ridiculous and lamentable. ”

Looking at the back of the self-departing figure, the aggrieved young man shed tears of humiliation.

Also staring at the mage's back was Link, who recognized the identity of the female mage at a glance - Claire, the only sage in Hohenheim, who had not seen Bray since she was promoted to the new god of magic, could it be that she had been disposed of?

But why did Apocalypse show such a memory, and what does that have to do with Finn's desire to disarm the oracle?

As he thought about it, Finn slumped over the chaise longue in the corner, his adoptive father's name kept on his lips.

"Rono...... Lono ...... Why would you die, Rono? If you were alive, I wouldn't have chosen this path. ”

This kid has become a divine envoy, and he still picks and chooses, didn't he choose this path himself?

Link was stunned, and just then, Finn stopped muttering and sat up, holding a bar in his hand, a well-made staff of just the right length for his height, and the hedron set at the top reflected the brilliance of the magic lamp.

"Is this a staff?

Finn sniffed, glanced in the direction Claire left, and finally couldn't help but be curious, as soon as his hand touched the magic stone embedded in the top, the fluorescence came out of it, and the magic transmission that appeared was a gorgeously dressed young woman, only to see her carrying the corner of her skirt and bowing slightly, performing a standard aristocratic salute.

"Your Excellency, I am Flani, the regent of the Empire, and a disciple of Bard the Sage. ”

Unlike Claire, who is stereotypical and old-fashioned, the royal rose not only dresses more sexy, but also has a face full of vitality that only real young people have, so that Finn, who has lived in the country for a long time, knows for the first time what a "beautiful girl" is. He was stunned for a moment before hurriedly returning the salute.

"You're looking for me...... What's the matter?"

"There's nothing special, I just want to meet the new Divine Envoy, but the master doesn't allow it, you won't tell him if it's rude, right?" explained the woman in the magical image with a sweet smile.

"No...... No......" Finn blushed, tucking his elbow-length wand into his wide-sleeved robe.

"This is a little secret that only the two of us know, and no one can say it~" The deliberate coquettish atmosphere ended the first memory.

Like a second memory inserted into the marquee, the mirroring of the surroundings changed again, and Finn walked briskly down the long corridor, ignoring the mages who saluted him all the way, and even trotted at the end. After turning around the rows of bookshelves, he finally came to the world where he was the only one in the forbidden book area. After looking left and right to make sure that no one was there, he pulled out the wand from his sleeve that he had used to communicate with Frannie.

"Hey~ Are you okay? I heard that the Dawn Sect has carried out some kind of execution?

The dim hedron did not react, Finn kept touching it with his hand, but still did not gain anything, he lay down on the chaise longue in frustration, and the hourglass symbolizing time on the low table where the water glass and food were placed on the side automatically flipped around, and the already gray hedron suddenly emitted an ominous blood-red fluorescence, waking up the sleeping Finn.

"Is that you? Frannie?"

"Ahh

"What's wrong with you?" Finn, though frightened, mustered up his courage, and he realized that the terrible cry was coming from Frannie.

"Help me...... Help me......" After an irrational scream, Frannie's voice finally returned to normal, but it was much darker than before.

"I heard that the Cult of Dawn had excommunicated you, and they said...... "No matter how ignorant you are, Finn understands what the word Fall means. Frannie, his only friend in Hohenheim, and the object of his admiration, did not want the woman as bright as a flower to wither into a dry bone, regardless of the rules of the world, and completely forgot that neither as a man nor as an oracle should appease a fallen enemy.

"It's Dawn's trick! They designed me!Ahhhh

"Link?" Finn was taken aback, he hadn't heard the other mages talk about the Children of Nature, only that Farni had been stripped of her regent by the Dawn Sect because of her association with demons.

"If it's not him, how can Bard ignore the master-apprentice relationship? It's not him, and the Dawn Sect dares to overstep the bounds? I just want to revive the empire, and I have used some small means in private, far less than those rebellious nobles, why do they want to target me? I have no rebellion against the empire or humanity, ahhhh

A voice full of unwillingness and resentment drilled into Finn's ears, and he looked left and right anxiously: "Shh~ You be quiet, although no one comes here on weekdays, Bud and Claire have permission to enter, in case they find out......"

"Claire?ha...... There is no more sage Claire in this world. ”

"Huh?"

"She was the first to be poisoned, and after meeting you, she was summoned up the ladder by Bray in the name of a guide. ”

"This, this is a good thing, arrogant sage...... It's the new god after the god of wisdom. ”

"You're so naΓ―ve. With a cold snort, Frannie's voice suddenly lowered: "Nominally, she was summoned to the ladder of heaven, but she was not a god, but was killed on the way." Do you think that as long as you go up, you can become a god? With Claire's strength, he can't enter the kingdom of God yet, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed on the ground for a hundred years and was not summoned. ”

Finn couldn't help but tighten his sleeves, as Bray's divine envoy, he was not completely without memory of what the gods did when the gods descended.

Seem...... There is a little fragment of the memory that is incomplete...... Claire, the woman who had a cold face to everyone and was holding a shelf, had a bloody face and a twisted body.

"Vomit-" Finn retched involuntarily, because the picture was so terrifying that he subconsciously chose to forget about it, just as a strange dream scene.

It's true, those are true!

Bray uses his body to punish the mage who has a private relationship with the undead, the picture is too bloody, and every time after the gods, he forces himself not to think about it, hypnotizing himself is just a dream. Now, it's all pierced by Frannie.

"Help me...... You're the only one who can help me......" Phalaney's voice repeated over and over again in the hedrons.

No matter how much Finn shook his head, he couldn't get rid of the groggy feeling, and he knew that something was wrong, but he still followed Frankney's words and asked.

"How do you want me to help you?"

"Link, I want to know his past, his origins, his weaknesses, his preferences, his whereabouts, everything about him, tell me. ”

"But...... "Ray probably won't allow me to do that."

"You're just Bray's banner, he didn't teach you spells, did he? No one in Hohenheim taught you spells, right? Isn't it ridiculous that the mage god can't use spells? Even if you are from another world, you are a human after all, and the presence of God will consume your lifespan, and once your life force is exhausted, you will be useless, and you will be disposed of at the right opportunity like me. ”

Frannie's bewitchment finally worked, and Finn, who was still a little resistant, was most worried that he had not learned anything after becoming an envoy, except for worry-free food and clothing, there was no change at all, and the object of those mages bowing and saluting was not him, but Bray, who occasionally descended through him, and once his vitality was drained without any power, he would be ruthlessly abandoned like Franny and Claire......

"Okay...... I'll tell you, Link and I come from a world called Earth. There......"

"Enough! Enough! Stop......"

Link stopped the revelation and looked down at the young man who was kneeling on the ground, his face was pale, his body twitching involuntarily, obviously terrified to the extreme.

"Do you mean to see me? or Frannie...... No, it should be called Lorelei, the goddess of revenge, is that what she meant?"

Finn's body stiffened suddenly, and then he slowly stood up, "I really underestimated you." ”

"I didn't expect you to be like this, either. Link was indifferent, unlike the twins who had never changed from beginning to end, the current Lorelei was no longer the one he remembered, perhaps, the hysterical at the time of purification, the crazy woman was the true face of Lorelai, and what was shown afterwards was just to paralyze his illusion, no matter what it was, it didn't matter anymore. Today, Lorelei is a vengeful goddess, an enemy on the side of the dark god Diamos, an opponent he will fight after he finishes dealing with the undead.
