Chapter Ninety-Two: Bram Stoker
Hearing the young man's words, Cardinal Loki was silent for a long time.
“…… Mankind? ”
Cardinal Loki finally couldn't help but sneer, "Can you be considered a human too, Brem?" ”
"If everyone who sees me thinks I'm human, then I'm human."
The young man known as Bram was just smiling nonchalantly.
He sat on the couch with his legs crossed, smiled and looked up at Cardinal Loki standing in the middle of the room: "If you can be called an elf, then I can also be called a human, can I?" ”
"—the opposite is true."
Cardinal Loki said coldly, "If I can be called an elf, you will be called a child of the moon." And don't mess with me...... I have been forgiven by the candle. ”
"Oh, forgiveness."
The young man imitated strangely, raised his orchid fingers and pinched his throat: "Oops, forgiveness!" ”
"—Bram Stoker!"
Cardinal Loki was immediately enraged by him, and a crimson flame instantly ignited in his pupils. His gas-stove-like hair swelled and turned into even larger flames.
The room was filled with red smoke, and the temperature was rising rapidly at a rate visible to the naked eye.
He clenched his fists, took half a step forward, and roared in a low voice: "If you have come to the Church just to humiliate me, you will get out immediately!" ”
"This is my room, it's up to you to get out, right?"
Braim said nonchalantly and lazily.
Hearing this, Cardinal Loki turned around and left without saying a word.
"—but in that case."
Braim's long words slowed down Cardinal Loki's pace and paused: "Xiong Tianji's punishment for you in the future has nothing to do with me.
"As I have just said, Otgaloch, O Patriarch of the Most High. Even if you betray the High Heaven and get a job as a cardinal in the Church, you are a giant after all. You have the blood of the Most High God flowing in your veins. ”
The young man looked at Cardinal Loki, who had his back to him, and sneered, "Betrayal? It's really naïve, how can it be so easy to get rid of the relationship. Every past you don't want to remember will haunt you like a nightmare. ”
“…… That's not betrayal. ”
The flame-haired cardinal said slowly, "No one knew back then that the Supreme Heavenly Throne would be able to rise again after it collapsed. You're just a short-lived, and you haven't lived through that era. I don't know how strong the White Dragon King's oppressive power is. ”
"So you fled, betraying your country, your blood."
Bram said happily, "Flee for battle—or even more than that." You were not liquidated by the Church State, presumably for making a remarkable contribution to this war. ”
"It's called turning away from darkness to light." Cardinal Loki turned around and said solemnly.
"If you really think so, you won't be doing any 'controlled fire' work, Your Royal Highness Prince Lodge." Bram said.
“…… And what about you, great writer? ”
Cardinal Loki asked, "You are a native of Avalon, but now you are in the service of the Most High. How could you not have betrayed your motherland, your origins? ”
"Oh no, no, no, at a moment like this, I'm no longer an Avalonian. I'm flexible. Because I'm no longer human either...... I am a noble bloodline, a soothsayer of evil. The Son of the Moon, a descendant of Count Dracula, who has the blood of the dragon—"
As the creator of the best-selling book "Dracula", Bram Stoker is lying on the couch and walks leisurely.
"Son of the Moon? Scold. ”
But Cardinal Loki just looked at him with a sarcastic expression: "It's just something stolen." You who don't have the talent of the path of love at all are also worthy of being called the son of the moon? ”
"Why shouldn't you?"
Bream's expression also turned cold: "Come on, Cardinal. You and I can meet because of the kindness of the Gray Heavenly Division. The power of the 'lie' allowed me to steal the blood of the children of the moon and the body of the elves...... But at the end of the day, that's just a lie.
"A lie is true only when it is needed, and only at other times it is a lie—I don't usually call myself the Child of the Moon. Every goblin and troll who knows me thinks I'm human; No matter how I test it, I'm also 100% pure-blooded.
"What about you, Cardinal? Do you remember that you were actually a giant? A giant who can pop the ceiling here just by standing up? How long has it been since you've changed back to who you really are?
"Or ...... Are you afraid that Xiong Tianji will find out that you are still alive and punish you for your cowardice in escaping, so you dare not admit your identity as a giant? ”
"-sharp teeth!" Cardinal Loki retorted.
"That's true, after all, I make money by writing books. If it doesn't hurt to scold, wouldn't it be a loss of my words? ”
Bram said to himself.
It is clear that Cardinal Loki is not going to leave anymore.
Although he was unwilling, since Bram had already arrived here with Xiong Tianji's order, he could no longer escape.
If he escapes again, Xiong Tiansi's claws will personally punish him.
By then...... Will Si Candle still protect him?
After all, he was just a giant, not a real elf.
Cardinal Loki sighed and sat down across from Bream.
"Tell me," he said coldly, "what the hell is Xiong Tiansi looking for me?" ”
"I'll start with something important."
Instead of answering his question, Bram said, "Xiong Tianji is about to return to the position of pillar god—you know what? ”
“…… Which one? ”
Cardinal Loki's heart moved.
His first reaction was - who is going to abdicate?
The Silver Crown Dragon is in the limelight, and almost all monarchs in the material world are maintaining the survival of authoritarian power. In this case, it is basically impossible for the Supreme Heaven to regain his original position.
Not to mention the other pillar gods...... There is no decline in sight.
In this case, it is impossible to defeat the pillar god head-on. At best, they can only voluntarily abdicate.
"Snake Father."
Bram replied, "This is the highest level of secrecy from the dream world—the snake father is planning to abdicate.
"For He has reached the highest peak, and there is nothing beyond it but amber. He was also bored with infinite self-transcendence, and therefore intended to abandon his position as a pillar god and repeat the transcendent creation. If the Supreme Throne Hangs in the Sky, if my lord can obtain the fragments of the Huantiansi that have fallen into the world, he will be able to step into the river of change and become the new pillar god. ”
"Did you hear it yourself?"
"You don't really believe I'm a wandering monk, do you?"
Bram scoffed, "It's just marketing to boost sales." I really don't have any other path than authority, transcendence, and adaptation. Besides, even if I were a wandering monk, I wouldn't have heard such a thing. ”
"Sounds scary."
The flame-haired cardinal commented: "The triple path of the professional - are you really not crazy? ”
"Maybe. Maybe I'm crazy, or maybe ...... I was already insane when my father forced me into the inspectorate. ”
Braum's pale face smiled strangely, "But I've always been okay with everything. I'm flexible, unlike you. As the inheritor of "Spider Silk Secret", I have a much deeper understanding of lies than you, senior. ”
Cardinal Loki no longer asks where he learned about this, and only dismisses it as a lie.
So he simply asked, "So what?" Where's the fragment of the Celestial Rim you're talking about? ”
"It's in the country."
Bram replied, "This is Xiong Tianji's order to you—find him." Find the Avalon man named Ivus Moriarty. ”
And then ...... Kill him? ”
Cardinal Loki asked in a deep voice, subconsciously clenching his fists.
"No, then you will mark his soul with a ritual or a curse, and I will devour him myself in the dream realm. If this matter is handled well, it will not affect your current identity at all.
"I heard that your pope is in a coma? Isn't that the best time, she can't see anything, and it's over.
"—By the way, this matter has nothing to do with me at all, don't think of asking me to help you. I'll come to the church to pass on your message, just because I happen to have business to discuss. ”
As he spoke, Bream pouted at the old troll by the fire, "There is a good lord who asks him by name to trade from the Church...... Anyway, the balance hasn't arrived yet, so I'll use it first. Although Ivus seemed immune to the curse, he should have been aware of it. With him as bait, presumably the guy will find it himself.
"But I can't give you this bait, and it won't be good if you break it. I'm going to sell it for money. ”
"Oh, the great writer who buys and sells trolls."
Cardinal Loki scoffed.
Bram didn't react at all: "By the way, I have to be paid to pass the word." My lord promised that after I found you, I would take the balance from you. ”
“…… Balance? ”
Hearing this, Cardinal Loki's heart jumped, and he said in a deep voice: "What do you want?" ”
"Don't be nervous. What I want is your ...... who has been forbidden by the candle Your giant's blood, the blood of the gods from the Most High Heaven. ”
Speaking of this, the pupils of the famous writer turned blood-red: "Just let me take a bite, Rocky Senpai."
"Quietly, let me steal your power, your name, your identity—right now, it's a good deal, isn't it?
"The leader of the controlled fire, the Cardinal...... You don't want your followers to know that you're a giant, do you? ”
The room was covered with gray spider silk at some point.
