Chapter Ninety-Six: The Apostles

"The Apostle of Original Sin was born in the North, bringing endless heavenly punishment, and there will be no ......peace in the world from then on."

"The apostles came from the north, the plagues followed, and the signs of the end of the world appeared......"

"The apostles who came down from heaven bring boundless calamity, and the end of mankind is coming. Death, plague, war, and hunger have swept the world, and there will be no peace on the earth......"

"There is also this book, the word apostle is also mentioned in the opening chapter of the "Doomsday Prophecy" written by the astrologer Tony Gore, not only Merlin of the Truth Society, but many astrologers have predicted the same picture. ”

El pulled out a heavy ancient book from the shelf, spread it out on the table, and pointed to one of the lines of text to Tiana.

Astrologers, known for their astrological predictions of the future, are often synonymous with liars and neuropathy in the eyes of the world. In fact, astrology is vast and profound, and the requirements for the astrologer's own talent are extremely strict, and the vast majority of apprentices will be turned away for various reasons, and eventually they can only be reduced to making up nonsense.

But there are also a very small number of talented people who, with unimaginable wisdom and perseverance, have comprehended the true meaning of astrology and become true astrologers. These people have left their mark on history.

The prophetic book left by each astrologer is full of chaotic, distorted, and even contradictory images, which are dominated by a thousand strange and catastrophic language, which occupies 80 percent of the space.

It's not surprising that astrologers infer the future based on the trajectories of the stars, and of course don't waste their pen and ink on everyday episodes such as eating and sleeping, and only major events that can have a sufficient impact will attract their attention.

The faint waves of a splash in the long river of fate may form huge waves when they gradually spread. The damage of a horseshoe can affect the outcome of a war. The future that astrologers can glimpse is only a possibility rather than a certainty, and chaos is inevitable.

If the prophecies made by a single astrologer are obscure, the fact that these available prophetic books now invariably mention the phrase "the apostles brought disaster from the north" or something similar, which makes people have to pay attention to it.

Since the truth would attach such importance to this prophecy, it must have been examined in many ways, and there is little doubt about it. I'm more curious about...... You can read these books written in the Gagaric language?"

Tiana ignored the contents of the book, took a sip of piping hot black tea from her teacup, felt the rich aroma of tea reverberating in her mouth, and squinted her eyes in satisfaction. The tea leaves stored in the Mage's Tower were of the finest varieties that she couldn't buy in the market, and she hadn't enjoyed it for a long time.

"It's just rote memorization, it's not technical. El shook his head, closed the book and put it back on the shelf, picked out another one, opened it, and flipped through two pages. "When I was reading here with Lorana before, she once took out a similar prophecy book, but unfortunately I didn't pay attention to the name at that time......"

"Is there any difference?" asked Tiana, puzzled.

"At that time she may have been speculating about the Count of Sneiker's intentions, and I had heard her read a prophecy about the apostles, but at the time I thought it was a novel or something, and I didn't pay attention to it. In retrospect, the role of the apostle mentioned in that prophecy bears a lot of resemblance to yours...... Aha, this is the one!" El took out an old book from the shelf, put it on the table, and flipped through the pages.

“...... The shadow of death descended on the north, the light of holiness stained with filth, and the depraved and reborn as vengeful apostles, followed by natural disasters wherever they went. He is a serpent that feeds on the source of the plague and produces endless seeds of nightmares......"

"What does this have to do with me?" said Tiana, confused.

"For example...... Snakes?"

El was not sure that he actually only intuitively thought of the magician girl's body, and when he saw Tiana raise his eyebrows, he hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "Just kidding, but with the words of natural disasters, I can only think of you at the first time." In contrast, you are certainly better suited to this prophecy than the lord. ”

"Do you think I am the prophesied apostle?" Tiana tilted her head and couldn't help laughing, "Even if I were an apostle, so what? ”

Apparently that the group of people in the Society of Truth thought so, or they could have wanted to control the apostle...... But no matter what, as long as they seriously track down your black history, they will definitely have gratuitous associations. El smiled and said to Tiana.

"Unless they can get an answer out of the mouth of a dead man, I have nothing to worry about. Tiana didn't care. No one knew better than she did the damage caused by the plague, and there were no survivors in the northern counties today except for the followers of the Cursed Cult, and she was sure that even the Cursed Cult had no idea of their past.

How mysterious are you?" El couldn't help but smile wryly as she looked at the girl's indifferent expression. Even if he was alone in the secret room like now, the distance between him and her had not shrunk by half a point. The girl's true face is like a mirror, covered by layers of fog, as long as she herself is unwilling to admit it, others will never be able to see it.

"What if the Truth Society is right?" he asked.

"What do you mean?" Tiana blinked, a little unclear.

"I mean, what if there really was an 'apostle' who could stop the spread of the plague by destroying it?" El looked into the girl's eyes, gritted his teeth and whispered, "Isn't that exactly what you want......"

"You imagine this plague too simply. Tiana just smiled, not showing any interest in the offer.

"The reason why the plague is called a 'natural disaster' is that it is no longer a disaster that human beings can fight. Fighting the plague is the work of Her Highness the Holy Nun, and the enemy I am fighting is the Cult of the Damned, who hides in the shadows. Without their support, the plague would not have grown to such an uncontrollable point at all. ”

"Maybe the Apostles are hiding in the Cult of the Damned?" El speculated maliciously.

"Please...... Stop dwelling on the word apostle. Tiana shook her head helplessly: "Frankly, El, don't believe the prophetic books of astrologers, they are in a state of irrational madness most of the time, and they don't know what they have written. The word apostle does not necessarily refer to a particular person, it may be an object, or a metaphor for an important turning point in fate...... In short, it's definitely not the literal meaning you can understand. ”

"You're right, but I don't know why I'm so sensitive to the word. ”

El smiled wryly and nodded, he also knew that he was a little overly nervous. After comprehending the two runes of life and death, the wild instincts that lurked in his body became more and more acute, and sometimes he was even able to discover some crucial details that he could not understand.

Originally, he just wanted to track down Lorana's whereabouts, but when Master Powell mentioned the Truth Society, he thought of Tiana for no reason. When he heard the prophecy of Count Sneiker, he felt a strange connection for no reason, as if this prophecy was particularly important to himself and Tiana.

"Wild beasts rely on intuition to survive in nature, and what humans need to form a civilized society is reason. Tiana sensed El's irritability and nervousness, so she took his hand and whispered comfort.

"I know your instincts have always worked, but we can't choke until the future happens. I don't think you lack courage, so why should you be confused about the unknown?"

"What am I afraid of?" Elle pouted angrily and said, "I'm worried about whether you'll be stabbed in the back, who knows what kind of moth that Lord Qincha will make." ”

"That's something your lord needs to worry about. ”

"Now you're the question I need to worry about. ”

............

"I think it's time for me to leave, it's rude to visit without the master's permission, and I don't think Master Stephen wants to see strangers in the tower. Tiana coughed lightly, put down her teacup and said to El.
