Part 5 THE RED PRIESTS CHAPTER 119 THE STAR WANDERERS
Mobet glanced at Leonard and said in a puzzled tone:
”Not too cold and evil ……”
He whirled around and lifted his glass, taking a gulp:
”Aren’t you still aware that the higher the sequence, the more cold it is, and the tendency towards insanity gets worse? Whoever doesn’t have an angel in their family of the great nobles of the Solomon Empire will surely be different from normal.
”As for the degree of evil and coldness, it has to do with the choice of anchor and the characteristics of one’s own extraordinary path, in this regard, I am not aware of what my great-grandfather’s situation was like, I only know that k was very kind to us, and that he was more casual in his words and actions.
”In addition, those rules set by His Majesty the Emperor all have a focus on incongruity, if all the great nobles are of one style, k will definitely not be satisfied.”
The first reason I thought of, but the latter one is a bit unexpected, inexplicably a bit funny …… That “black emperor” of Solomon’s empire is making himself obsessive-compulsive disorder? Must be incongruous …… Klein did not wear too thick mask, the corner of the mouth slightly curled up.
At this time, “Justice” Audrey looked sideways at him, said he and “stars” Mr. common question:
”Anchor?”
They both knew that the aesthetic of the Quaternary was asymmetrical and incongruous, defaulting to that as common sense, so they didn’t bother to think deeply about why it was there.
”To the gods, believers and faith are anchors.” Klein explained simply.
That’s right,…… Mr. “Fool” also said that the stable state,…… Audrey only felt that her horizons were opened up, allowing her to further examine the relationship between gods and believers.
At the same time, she was slightly puzzled and thought:
”At the beginning of Mr. ‘Fool”s revival, there shouldn’t have been many believers, and at that time, what was K’s anchor?”
Leonard listened carefully to Klein’s answer, and his expression became uncontrollably serious for a bit, as if he had instantly thought of a lot.
He quickly returned his attention to Mobet, and said after a moment of deliberation:
”What kind of angel is Palles Zoroaster, and what kind of behavioral habits does k have?”
Leonard was still cautious, he was not yet fully convinced that the old grandfather in his body was Palles Zoroaster, well, it could not be ruled out that the real Palles had fallen and was now alive as an impostor, which was routine for angels of the “Stealer” path… …and in the view of the Hidden Presence, an impostor is an impostor who has that identity, and will not be bothered to dismantle it… ……
Oh, in the more important, very interested, involving their own safety and security matters, Leonard than I thought reliable ah, if not so, he could not have found out that I am still alive …… As for the other aspects, he is really too, too loose, too accustomed to follow the experience of the past, is not brainless, just lazy with the …… Klein couldn t help but lament a few words in his heart.
Mobet was stunned for two seconds, took another sip of the distilled spirits and said:
”The old man behaves like an ordinary old man at home, a little nagging, likes to strike offspring, loves to enjoy life, if not known in advance, who would not have thought that k is a bit sequence 1 angel, k and His Majesty the Emperor’s aesthetics are a little bit different, obsessed with categorization, emphasizes cleanliness and tidiness …… when facing the enemy , specializing in fraud, preferring to resolve the target in a way that makes him crumble ……”
This is more consistent with the characteristics the old man has shown so far …… Leonard nodded gently and turned to ask:
”Do you have a portrait of k?”
”How can I carry a portrait with me? It’s not like I’m on a quest!” Mobet shook his head in amusement.
At that moment, Leonard suddenly pointed down to the side:
”Isn’t that it!”
”Huh?” Mo Bette turned his head in bewilderment and confusion, and realized that there was an additional oil painting on his right hand side at some point.
As he picked up the painting, it became clearer and showed an elderly man with dark brown eyes.
The man’s hair was already completely white, not too thin, neatly combed back, and there were hardly any wrinkles on his forehead, at the corners of his eyes, or around his mouth, making him appear not so old.
It can be seen that he should have looked pretty good when he was young, quite similar to Mobet, but his overall temperament is more serious.
I can’t really tell if he’s a Sequence 1 Angel …… Is this also because he didn’t reveal his mythical creature form? “Justice,” Audrey said, padding slightly on her toes and peering out at the painting.
Leonard memorized the content of the portrait, and then asked a few questions related to the Zoroaster family, all received a more satisfactory answer – the only exception is the name of the magic potion from sequence 3 to sequence 0, Mobert is not clear, he only vaguely aware of the sequence 1 seems to be called the “Worm of the Hour”. He only vaguely knew that Sequence 1 seemed to be called “Worm of Time”.
After ending that aspect of the conversation, Leonard turned to ask about the Solomon Empire:
”What are the great nobles of the empire in your era?”
”There weren’t many families with dukes.” Mobet put down his wine glass and spread out his palms, “We, the Zoroaster family, the Abraham family, the Chalatu family, in addition, the Medici family, Lord Urolius, although they don’t have knighthoods, their status is no worse than that of the great nobles.”
He flexed a finger with each statement, just enough to make a fist.
Then, he laughed and said:
”At that time, although Tudor and Trenthorst were His Majesty’s most loyal angels, they still had to be ranked below us, alongside Augustus and the Castilian Ks.”
The history of the Augustus family can actually go back to the time of the Solomon Empire …… “Justice” Audrey was slightly surprised at the same time, listening more and more attentively.
Leonard thought about it and continued to ask:
”In that era, what was the situation of the northern continent like?”
”All living beings submitted to His Majesty the Emperor, and even the gods, in order to fight against the hostile forces, also recognized His Majesty’s rule.” Mobet laughed, “The k’s all had their own earthly countries attached to them, in the more barren places, in short, the Black Night, the God of War, and the God of Death confronted each other, the Storm, the Blazing Sun, and the Three Gods of Wisdom had a great contradiction with each other, and the Earth’s attitude was ambiguous and unclear, but was more biased in favor of the God of War, which led to the k’s simply not being able to work together stably, and it was difficult for them to fight against His Majesty the Emperor, and the alliance of the True Creator. ”
Speaking of this, Mobet sighed and said:
”It was also for the sake of balance that His Majesty the Emperor did not attack the southern continent, allowing the God of Death to unify the Harvest Plains and the Ancient Forest and establish the Kingdom of Byron.”
No, in the end, the six gods reached an agreement, so that the “Black Emperor” fell, and the Tudor-Trenthorst United Empire was founded …… Leonard recalled some of the things that Palles Zoroaster had mentioned, and inexplicably felt the vicissitudes of history.
At this time, Mobet once again turned his head sideways and looked at him and said:
”Is there smoke?
”This little thing that came from the True Creator’s followers is really good.”
Leonard immediately mobilized his dream realm and manifested a rolled cigarette and handed it over.
”Is this modified?” Moabit reached out his right hand, stole a fire out of the kitchen behind the tavern, lit the rolled cigarette, and inhaled deeply.
Watching the smoke puff out of his nostrils, Leonard asked, rather curiously:
”Followers of the True Creator like to smoke?”
”Yes, even Lord Medici, occasionally smokes a few cigarettes, although it’s just a habit for k.” Mobet replied without hiding anything at all.
Leonard nodded gently and turned to ask:
”Which deity do you believe in?”
”Of course it’s His Majesty the Emperor, all imperial nobles believe in His Majesty the Emperor, uh, except for Lords Medici and Urolius, who believe in the True Creator, and also, Lord Duke Bertram Abraham might just be a pseudo-believer, as far as I know, k only believes in himself.” Mobet said casually.
Bertram Abraham …… Klein’s mind was moved, and he was about to signal Leonard to inquire deeper in this respect, when he heard the poet’s classmate ask:
”Is Duke Bertram Abraham very powerful?”
Obviously, the performance that was very different from the other imperial nobles made that ancestor of the Abraham family so noteworthy.
”Very powerful, even Medici and Lord Urolius, are afraid of K,” Mobet said as he exhaled another smoke ring, “In the Age of Strife, K was recognized as one of the angels most likely to become a god.”
”Age of Strife?” Leonard asked, slightly puzzled.
Mobet looked at the slowly burning rolled cigarette in his hand and said:
”This flavor is not exciting enough, huh, the Age of Strife refers to the period between the end of the Cataclysm and the establishment of the Empire, almost 112 years, that ancestor of our Zoroaster family who first became an angel fell during the Age of Strife, fortunately, we had the help of His Majesty the Emperor who had not yet become a god at that time, and we didn’t lose our extraordinary characteristics. ”
”Who did that?” Leonard immediately pursued.
Mobet shook his head:
”I’m not even Sequence 4 yet, I’m not qualified to know many things.
”Or Lord Bertram Abraham, I don’t really know too much about K, but I’m interested in the family and the extraordinary path they’ve mastered, it’s rumored that ‘apprentices’ can roam the stars when they reach Sequence 2, er, there’s a rumor of Sequence 3 as well. ”
The stars? Klein’s pupils dilated slightly, and his mind became more and more focused.
At this point, Mobet continued:
”They left behind quite a few travelogues about the starry sky, which recorded many interesting things, unfortunately, I have never been able to borrow them, however, I have heard of the three laws of starry sky roaming that they summarized:
”One, do not respond to any call; two, do not recklessly approach the uncharted creatures and structures; three, endure solitude.”
Sounds like the starry sky is vast and dangerous …… I wonder if the current Abrahams family still keeps some travelogues related to the starry sky, I’ll let Ms. “Magician” ask about it …… Klein’s eyes swept over, coincidentally and “justice” Miss look over the line of sight contact, the two then realized that the other also thought of the “magician” Miss.
Leonard also did the same, nodded slightly and asked about something else.
In the process, with the memories of the Moabit, the dream changed, and then they saw the appearance of Medici, Urolius and other high-ranking people.
Of course, the “Black Emperor” and Bertram Abraham, because Mobet had little contact, and each time they did not dare to look directly at, the image is a blur.
Toward the end, Audrey again grabbed Klein and Leonard’s arms respectively, and led them to jump into the dream world of Shattas.
The elfin singer was standing within the garden, covering her stomach and frowning at Mobet:
”Can you steal the fetus from my stomach and stuff it inside your own body”
”It’s possible, but even if it’s stuffed into my body, I won’t be able to gestate him.” Mobet replied with a look of fear.
Shatas thought hard and said:
”Then steal even the corresponding organs?”
”…… Simply just stealing, it may still be successful, but the follow-up, the follow-up, I have no way to do it, it’s beyond the scope of my ability ……,” Mobet said with trepidation.
This man and elf’s conversation heard Klein, Leonard and Audrey’s expressions froze.
”…… Shall I do it this time?” After several seconds, Audrey “Justice” took the initiative to propose.
