Chapter 116: "The Arsonist"
The evil spirit of the "Red Angel", as it is now more accurately called, would be Sauron Einhorn Medich.
Crane was unable to sense the presence of any flames, except for the one used to trap the larks, but the cage formed by the flames was cleverly controlled and did not emit any heat.
On the contrary, because of the existence of the "Red Angel", there was a faint chill in the house.
Originally, Klein also wanted to activate the "wriggling hunger" in his left hand and use the "teleportation" to get out of this place as soon as possible, but the moment he saw the Nornes in the other party's hand, the idea of running away directly was left behind.
He's still alive, at least "Red Angel" changed the location of his flame jump, not to directly solve himself, the other party has something to say - Klein can still see this.
But the presence of Noons here was unexpected.
Klein wasn't sure if the other party caught the lark, did Nornes take the initiative to discover the traces of the "Red Angel", or did the "Red Angel" want to use it to blackmail him? Did he see that Nornes wasn't just an ordinary pet?
The red-haired young man had a bright red flag mark on his eyebrows, and two bloody cuts on his cheeks, which made his smile even more distorted. He leaned back in his easy chair and rested his feet on the iron table where Nornes was trapped.
Seeing Klein staring at the bright red cloak on his body, the "Red Angel" tilted his head: "Some people think this color is very flamboyant, but I like it very much." β
"Do you know the whereabouts of the original owner of the cloak?"
The "Red Angel" tugged at the nail-like button, and a few drops of red blood oozed from it, but before it could drop, it turned into a little spark and melted into the evil spirit's illusory fingers, making his body stable again.
Medici did not answer the question: "It is a gift from the Lord, and it is clearly not in the taste of the little sparrow." β
In other words, the evil spirit of the "Red Angel" does not know, or cannot speak, because it will be discovered......
Crane didn't correct that it was supposed to be a "lark", just glanced at the bird trapped in the flame cage. Nornes chirped again as Klein looked over.
Klein suppressed the anxiety in his heart, the other party was once an angel of "conspirators", once he showed any concern, he would inevitably be taken into control, and he had to be more restrained.
Klein simply continued with the previous topic: "So you also know Zoya. β
"Zoya, it's been a long time since I've heard that title. We all know the gospel bird of the Lord, who is always with Sasriel or the serpent, and in addition to not being in the holy scriptures, there are also stories of larks among the masses. β
Medici said this, and the blood on his face widened a little, making his sharp eyes even more hideous: "But the story is suspicious, and the timing of its appearance is subtle, and that is not the Lord's intention. I still suspect that someone provoked Zoya, like ......"
Medici's voice broke off at this point, ending with a soft snort, and he didn't go on.
The fact of becoming an evil spirit still has a great impact on his words and deeds, which makes him directly reveal his inner thoughts for a while because of his deep hatred.
Although he has the gift of the "true creator", who has successfully shaped a new flesh and blood body, and does not need to go to some "gatekeeper" unlucky person to go on his head, the "red angel" knows in his heart that this is not a long-term solution, and he still needs characteristics to stabilize himself.
And this secret puppet master who keeps a little sparrow clone seems to have a lot of things to use.
Medici's eyes on the lamb to the slaughter were very understanding, and Crane mobilized his extraordinary ability to make his heartbeat, breathing, and facial muscles in a relatively relaxed state.
He didn't want the "Red Angel" to see his true feelings, and he was worried that he would be further caught by the other party and used to make use of it.
Since the "Red Angel" didn't speak for the time being, Klein took the initiative to speak: "You want to use Nornes to contact Zoya?" β
Medici did not hide the astonishment on his face, and then he burst out laughing, not maliciously, but when he laughed, it made the cold atmosphere in the room even more bitter:
"You're still the first to name those light spots, it's like naming a snake's molt. It's so stupid that you can sense something wrong so quickly, I thought you weren't that stupid. β
Klein's expression didn't change at all: "To me, it's Nornes. β
"Then you might want to use that term." Medici's eyes narrowed, and just when Crane thought the other party was going to explain further, the "Red Angel" evil spirit waved casually at the sofa opposite, "Sit down, since you haven't been hung yet, and your servants are hanging on the ceiling of the house, I have shown enough sincerity." β
Seeing Klein sitting on the sofa in silence, Medici snorted with his nostrils: "Do you know the reason why Zoya chose you?" β
"I don't have much direct contact with Him."
When Klein said this, he couldn't help but think of the light above the gray mist, and he felt that the few conversations between the "Fool" and Zoya were not too in-depth exchanges.
"Or maybe you didn't know you had any contact," Medici shook his head, as if seeing through Klein's thoughts, "It's a pity, I don't know why, but since He chose you, it's also an opportunity for me." β
Without waiting for Klein to ask, Medici continued:
"I don't know if you've ever heard such a saying, but when you choose an extraordinary path, you have identified the corresponding friends and enemies.
"You and I are not friends, but we are not enemies either, and we did have some conflicts, but neither side suffered any irreparable losses."
Klein was a little surprised, but didn't show it: "Now that the matter has passed, we can ignore it." β
Medici grinned again: "Because your growth will cause great trouble to some of the guys I hate, so I don't want to kill you early, but I'm happy to see you continue to be promoted." Little sparrows can see 'fate' and must see something in you, although I don't believe in 'the revelation of fate' and other stupid things, but they have always been. β
"Is it because of Amun the 'blasphemer'?"
"You're not so ignorant."
The evil spirit in front of him, even if it was just a casual chuckle, made people want to hit him.
Nornes suddenly let out a soft cry, and Crane stared at it quizzically.
The "Red Angel" evil spirit knocked on the edge of the iron table with his foot: "Don't talk too much. However, as it says, behind the reason for the decline of the Sauron family, there are traces of Zarathu and Russell. There's a fool in my head who keeps shouting about it. β
Is this the effect of the split between the other two evil spirits? But outwardly, the "Red Angel" has suppressed the ancestors of the other two families......
Klein nodded: "Then what do you need me to do?" β
"As you track down the royal family of Rune, help me keep an eye out for the traces of a high-ranking witch named Caterina."
Klein already knew that the "witch" was the adjacent path of the "hunter", and it was not difficult to guess the plan of the "red angel" at this time, but he just wanted to jump to the adjacent "witch" path, wouldn't it become a ......
Medici laughed again: "Heh, you have a talent for provocation. β
"How can I tell you?"
"Of course, to chant my honorable name: the great god of war, the symbol of iron and blood, the lord of turmoil and strife!"
Klein nodded thoughtfully, and then inquired into the secrets hidden in the ruins of the "Blood Emperor", and the "Red Angel" did not skimp, and directly stabbed George III of the Rune royal family to Klein through a layer of window paper in his quest to turn to the possible development of the "Black Emperor" path and ascend to the throne.
This time, the undercurrent hidden behind the world situation, everything makes sense.
However, the acquiescence of the Seven Gods to this matter made Klein sense a clue, because he remembered that "the more you know, the easier it is to be polluted", he did not continue to ask.
Crane glanced at the bird on the iron table again, "If Nornes has caused you any trouble, I apologize for it." β
He was asking in disguise if he could take the lark away.
Medici, of course, could hear such a simple overtone, but bluntly rejected Crane's proposal: "Very well, when you have completed our agreement, I will naturally return them to you." β
Klein noticed Medici's pronoun for Nornes, which was "they" throughout.
Nodding at the "Red Angel" evil spirit, he stood up from his chair, Crane snapped his fingers, and in the flying flames, he grabbed the secret puppet's arm and left the room smoothly.
Medici looked in the direction in which Dwayne Dantès and the "servant" had disappeared, and he had already seen the trick of the secret couple.
"Nornes, haha."
The lark raised its head, opened its pointed beak, and a gentle voice came from it: "We love the name. β
"But does he really keep you like pets all the time? It's courageous. Medici leaned his head back and leaned back in his easy chair.
"We were forbidden to talk to candidates."
Medici rubbed his chin: "But now that you speak in front of me, aren't you afraid that I will tell the secret to that little 'soothsayer'?" β
Nones, crouched in the prison of flames, chuckled, its laughter closer to a gentle chirp, and when it stopped, the softly humming voice replied:
"Even if you tell him, he can't hear it. It's because of his own peculiarity, not because of us. β
"Candidate, kind of interesting."
The lark seemed dissatisfied with Medici's contemptuous tone, and instead asked, "Why don't you pray to Huls, Mr. Angel of War?" β
Medici's face twisted into two cracks, and he let out a chuckle on the left side of the "snort", and said, "It seems that this little bird is not that stupid, and it doesn't like you." β
The mouth on the other side laughed even more unscrupulously: "Hahaha, how can we possibly let Medici pray to that crazy evil god!" β
Nornes raised his head even higher: "We are smarter than you think, and we are more closely connected to the spirit world, gentlemen 'conquerors'. β
The two mouths on his cheeks suddenly closed, but Medici withdrew his feet with a gloomy expression, feeling the state of his body change, and he had a tendency to be unstable.
Zoya's self, which had been stable in him, was shaken by the impact of some homologous force, allowing the two "hunters" who also existed in the body to gain a little freedom, but this was only a short-lived mutation.
Medici stared at the lark with a cold look in his eyes: "The little sparrow even gave you this ability?" β
Nornes bowed his head respectfully, one wing covered in front of him, as if he was stroking his chest: "We are spiritual creatures, and we are also dependents of light, this is a matter of course. β
However, Medici's expression relaxed again, and the malicious smile and bloody rift on his face made his handsome face appear strangely beautiful:
"You are just an adjunct of Zoya, no different from the snake of a snake, don't have senseless delusions.
"Just because the candidate gave you a name doesn't mean he gave you hope."
Nornes blinked, and the imprint of the round star loomed: "No, he must be able to, this is the choice of light." β
