Chapter 31: The Idiot Prophet of the Snowy Night
Central City, the Royal Palace.
"Ahh......h Dent, have you been woken up too?" Arthas yawned as he covered his mouth and yawned as he walked out of the room in a daze, bumping into Dent, who was also yawning.
"Your Royal Highness, did you hear that voice too?"
"Ah, of course I heard that. What a bunch of noisy guys. Arthas frowned.
"Your Royal Highness, it looks like something terrible is happening outside. ”
"What else could it be? Could it be a demon invasion...... Ahh
"Your Royal Highness, how do you know?" asked Dent in surprise.
"Ha Dent, what are you talking about? You haven't woken up yet...... How could I possibly know what's going on out there. ”
"Huh, Your Royal Highness the Prince, what did you ......just say?"
"I'm just talking about it. Arthas was stunned after speaking, as if he realized something, "Dent, the demons won't really invade, right? ”
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, Dent doesn't know either...... I heard that someone saw a huge monster with flames all over its body in the shopping street, and I saw it too. And just now, I saw the people of the Holy See hurrying in the direction of the shopping street. As for what's going on outside......" Dent shook his head helplessly.
Long before Arthas woke up, he was awakened by the noise coming from outside. There are all kinds of signs that tonight, the Central City, which has been quiet for seven years, finally ushered in a long-lost wave.
"Strange......" Arthas muttered quietly.
Clutching the robe draped over his shoulders, Arthas clasped his hands to his lips and let out a puff of white mist.
The snowflakes fluttering in the wind fell on his golden hair, and the boy gnawed his nails with his teeth, and fell into deep thought as he looked at the white light that flashed over the shopping street.
"Dent, is that monster still there?" Arthas asked suddenly.
"The monster is over there, Your Highness the Prince, look ......," Dent pointed in the direction of the mall, "Huh?
It was pitch black in the distance, and the snow obscured his vision, and he couldn't see anything but the strange white light that flashed across the sky.
What is that white light? Shooting star?
"Dent, I'll ask you again. On the Holy See's side, how many people are rushing to the shopping street, do you see clearly?" Arthas continued.
"There are about fifty spirits, as well as knights...... The exact numbers are not clear, but all in all a lot!"
"Hey, Dent, a lot...... If I'm not mistaken, there aren't many spirits and knights in Central City Cathedral. ”
"A lot, that's a lot!"
"Okay......"
"Oh yes, Your Highness!" Dent interrupted Arthas, "Your Highness, the streets are very dark, but I still see that guy!"
"Who?"
"Cardinal Bruno, besides, he has a child in a white robe with a big hood!"
"Kid, hey, hey, that Sherra's guy is gone, Dent, your nonsense is getting more and more outrageous, or you can go back to sleep for a while. ”
"Your Royal Highness, Dent didn't talk in his sleep!"
"Well, I believe in you. Arthas sighed, and a hazy white air slowly rose into the sky.
The crackling explosions coming from the shopping streets, the huge monsters that suddenly appear and disappear, the army of the Holy See with all the people in force and the popes and bishops in battle, the short-lived white light gliding across the sky.
If you tie all these threads together......
"Hehe, sometimes, I'd rather be an idiot like Emilia. Alsace said with a wry smile.
"Your Royal Highness, what did you say?"
"Nothing. Dent, maybe I guessed it right. The demons invade Central City......" Arthas's tone became more solemn.
"......" Dent stood as if he hadn't heard Arthas's words, and stood there stupidly.
"Hey, Dent, are you ready for my coffin? Because only the kind of amethyst without a single blemish is worthy of my identity!" said Arthas, solemnly.
"Your Royal Highness, I'm sorry. The matter of ordering a crystal coffin for you, the third princess did not agree. Influenced by Alsace's earnest tone, Dent forgot to even complain.
"Helen ......"
Arthas yawned dissatisfiedly, looked at the snow outside with drooping eyelids, and walked towards his room.
"Your Highness, is it really a demon invasion?" Dent finally reacted after a while, and then, he shouted to Arthas, who was about to go back to the house to sleep, and said excitedly, "Your Highness, hurry up, get dressed, Dent will definitely be able to protect you from Central City!"
"What are you running away from...... Ahh Dent, I'll go back to bed first, and you should go to bed early. Arthas waved his hands casually, looking the opposite of what he had just done.
"Your Highness, you?" Dent's eyes widened.
"Look, it's useless for you to stare at me. If you don't go to sleep, you're going to be the second disgusting pervert with dark circles. ”
"Your Highness?" Dent was dumbfounded, and he had no idea what Arthas was talking about.
"Good Night ......"
Yes, if they don't sleep again, they will all become perverts with big dark circles like Edward.
Leaving Dent behind, Arthas rubbed his eyes and walked back to his cabin, where he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Did the demons break into Central City? Perhaps, Arthas could only guess from the limited information he had, and he wasn't really a prophet.
However, there was another thing that was more important to him......
During the day, he asked Edward to find someone who knew the truth about the night of the Red Rose, but at night, miraculously there was such an unbelievable thing as the demon invasion of Central City.
Was it really a coincidence? Or was it all Edward's plan? He was the one who directed the farce tonight?
If the answer is yes, then what is Edward's true identity?
"Everfree Forest ......"
In the last moments before falling asleep, Arthas suddenly remembered the story that Audley had told him.
In the story, there is a huge loophole, and an idiot who is caught in a mortal situation actually survives inexplicably. Mortally wounded, she not only escaped the treacherous Everfree Forest, but also crossed half the continent to reach Central City safely, and successfully hid in Hogg House.
Whatever the answer, Arthas was convinced that only Edward could answer him.
However, if he wants to see that pervert with dark circles again, Arthas will have to wait patiently for a while.
In Central City, on the high street, the battle between the self-proclaimed righteous madman and the self-willed evil fool continues......
The day is about to dawn.
