Part 5 The Red Priests Chapter 153 1368
”……” Luca Brewster looked down at himself and busied himself by raising his right hand and grasping it to the side.
His gray-green eyes turned deep black with it.
The gold that had been mingled with the stairs suddenly flew out, mingling in mid-air to form a thin piece of armor that was put onto Luca Brewster’s body.
Luca moved his arms and explained as he experienced the effect:
”‘Stiano’s Gold Armor Technique’, equivalent to the defensive level of a Sequence 5 ‘Guardian’.”
”Stiano?” Klein asked casually.
Luca said in a tone of introducing a famous historical figure:
”One of the earliest founders of the Moss Ascetic Order.
”I heard that Emperor Rossel once improved this ‘Golden Armor Technique’, I wonder what effect it will eventually render.”
…… I can probably imagine …… maybe there are twelve different shapes of this ‘golden armor’ …… Klein mumbled a few words in his mind before steering the conversation into the right direction:
”Feniport and the Church of Mother Earth have officially joined the war?”
Audrey, who had opened her eyes when Luca introduced the “Styriano Gold Armor Technique”, controlled her urge to turn her head sideways, and looked at the golden glittering demigod without any change in her eyes.
Luca sighed and said:
”Regardless of what they thought before, they will definitely officially join the war after tonight.
”Of course, for the time being, they shouldn’t aim at Rune, and the odds are that they’ll attack one of Lemberg, Marthy, or Segal, so as not to stretch the battle line too far and erect too many enemies for their forces to be focused on, and also, the Church of the Mother Goddess of the Earth may not be willing to put out too much power …… ”
After sighing, this Demigod of the Church of Knowledge sincerely said to Audrey, who was wearing a silver and white mask:
”I wonder what kind of consultation fee I should pay?”
Audrey looked at Mr. World next to her:
”He has already paid.”
Luca Brewster then moved his eyes to Dawn Dantes.
Klein thought for a moment:
”Let me ask a few questions.”
”Go ahead.” At this moment, Luca didn’t have the appearance of a demigod and a half-man at all, instead, he was more like a professor in a classroom waiting to answer a student’s question.
Of course, if he could take off that golden armor and change into a formal three-piece suit, it would be more like that.
Without thinking, Klein asked directly:
”What do you know about the contamination originating from the underground?”
In his mind, the Church of Knowledge saint known for his erudition can know, he certainly has enough levels to bear the impact, and if this is not suitable for “justice” lady to listen to, he believes that Luca will be raised, after all, this is not a “nerd”.
As the discussion of underground pollution stemmed from the experience of exploring the sea of collective subconsciousness within “Grocer’s Travels”, Audrey had a certain understanding of it, and at this point did not have the feeling that she did not understand anything at all, and waited very attentively for the demi-god on the other side of the room to respond.
Luca frowned slightly and said:
”What I know is not much, it seems that understanding itself brings contamination.
”Uh, I’ve seen this phrase in an ancient tome once, the higher the sequence, the more dangerous it is near the ground.”
Is that why Anglewild, the Dragon of Imagination, left a deep shadow and some kind of fear? Audrey instantly thought of the things sealed by the bronze gate in the “City of Wonders”, Leviathan.
She then looked at Mr. World beside her, but could not detect any slight change in expression.
Klein did, however, have the secret puppet nod its head gently to tell Ms. Justice that it was making the same connection as she was.
This made Audrey feel like she had gone back in time, when she was still a low-sequence person in the “audience” pathway, and was unable to decipher any useful information from Mr. World’s expressions and movements.
The higher the sequence, the greater the threat of things underground? This is a little bit unreasonable ah …… Klein saw Luca can not provide more information, thought for a moment and said:
”Second question, what is your prophecy about this war?”
At the mention of prophecies, Luca Brewster instantly became energized:
”This is just the beginning, far from reaching its peak.
”Also, greater destruction stems from the war and lies outside of it, what exactly, I don’t know.”
The war has only drawn the curtain …… Audrey’s heart was uncontrollably heavy.
Originating from the war and being outside of it? Is it the godhood ceremony of the Amon brothers, or the promotion of the “Black Emperor”? Or, Rossel’s return? Klein nodded speculatively and asked a third question:
”Have you heard of the Doomsday Prophecy? What is the interpretation of this?”
Luca Brewster’s expression became instantly serious:
”No, it’s not a prophecy.
”Anyone who has the power of prophecy is quite certain that the end is near.
”God mentioned in the holy text given by k that the end was in the year 1368 of the Fifth Age.
”And, of course, God says that there will be a savior.”
”The prophecy of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom?” 1368, only a dozen years left …… Goddesses would rather break the alliance with the God of War than master the “Death” pathway of the “Is there a reason why the end is near? Klein’s expression also became serious without realizing it, however, it didn’t react to the secret puppet’s face.
There are only a dozen years left before the end …… Audrey, on the other hand, was rather bewildered as she recalled the words of the demigod on the opposite side of the room.
Frankly speaking, she felt that it very much looked like a fake, used by the disguised occultists and religious charlatans to defraud the people and gain money.
Though a predictable and massive war had broken out, it hadn’t occurred to Audrey at all that the world was very, very close to the end.
It was the perception of almost all normal and extraordinary people.
”Why 1368?” Klein couldn’t help but follow up.
Luca Brewster shook his head:
”I don’t know, that’s what God’s prophecy says.”
Thinking that he was only Sequence 4 and had little ability to fight against the true doomsday, Klein sensibly ended the topic and said to Luca, the holy man of the Church of Knowledge:
”That’s all.”
What he really wanted to ask, the other party most likely didn’t know either, like what the contamination originating from the stars was, and whether or not Russell would be able to return and what his status was.
Luca Brewster nodded and said:
”If you need any help after that, you can come to me, specifically through Edwina.”
He remembered that the matter of Dawn Dantes selling the General Fire to Mesangyes was led by Edwina Edwards.
Edwina …… the “Iceberg Lieutenant General”? Audrey was stunned for a second, then suddenly realized, rather curiously glanced at Mr. World next to her.
She remembered reading a newspaper with a serialized story about Germaine Sparrow and three female pirate generals.
”Good.” Klein never worried about having too many helpers.
After nodding his head in greeting to “Justice” Audrey, Luca Brewster’s figure quickly became transparent, as if he had merged with the spirit world.
Then, he disappeared like that.
Looking at the place where Luca Brewster had just stood, and then at the hall where there was no longer any gold, Klein let out a “uh” in his heart and remained silent for two seconds.
He then had the secret puppet look over to Audrey “Justice” next to him and said:
”I had thought it would be more troublesome.”
”It was that Saint who saved himself in time and was willing to trust me enough to plant a mental note.” Audrey responded with a light smile, trying to appear both sincere and humble.
Dawn Dantes nodded and said:
”This will be counted in your accumulated contributions, go back as soon as possible, it’s dangerous here.”
Seeing a demigod almost lose control, Audrey had no doubt about Mr. World’s words that it was dangerous here, and immediately used “Creeping Hunger” to “teleport” back to the North Continent through the Spirit World. The North Continent.
After she sacrificed the human skin glove to Mr. Fool and took care of the rest, Earl Hall and his eldest son, Hebert, returned home.
Audrey was about to go out to meet her father and have a chat with him when she heard her mother, Countess Caitlin, ask from the hall:
”Has something happened again? You guys came back much later than scheduled today.”
Count Hall sighed and said:
”Fennebot has invaded Lemberg.”
……
”Extra! Extra! Feneport has brazenly invaded Lemberg!”
Leonard, wearing red gloves, stepped out of his carriage and prepared to enter St. Samuel’s Church when he saw the newsboy waving a newspaper and running quickly through the streets and squares.
He stopped the newsboy, pulled out a one-penny denomination and bought a newspaper, and as he leafed through it, he lowered his voice:
”Perhaps it won’t be long before the south falls to war as well.”
”Yes.” Palles Zoroaster’s slightly aged voice echoed within Leonard’s mind.
”But why am I still left behind in Beckland ……,” Leonard muttered to himself in puzzlement.
After being promoted to “Spirit Wizard”, he had become the leader of a “Red Glove” squad, whose members were drawn from other squads, including Cindy and Bob, whom he was familiar with.
When the war broke out, Leonard thought that his squad would be transferred back to the Holy Church to participate in the battle in the Amanda Mountains, just like the one in Soest, but he was actually assigned to be the mobile force in the Diocese of Belcandre.
Because of the wartime policy of enforcing the nighttime travel ban, this metropolis is currently in good order, not many extraordinary people come out to destroy, even the “demons” who like to murder have not created chaos, allowing Leonard to have some free time, so much so that it’s even easier than the non-war state.
At this point, Palles Zoroaster smiled and said:
”I have a guess.”
”What guess?” Leonard asked in a busy whisper.
”I don’t want to tell you now.” Parleys responded in a languid tone.
”……” Leonard said nothing, straightened his collar, and entered St. Samuel’s Church, where he spoke with the Archbishop and said a five-minute prayer.
Then he went underground and pushed open the door to the temporary office of his Red Glove squad.
”Good morning, Captain.” Bob and Cindy and the other Red Gloves rose and saluted.
Hearing them addressed, Leonard, who thought he was used to it, was once again in a bit of a trance.
As Monday afternoon rolled around, Leonard arranged the team’s respective assignments, found a rest room and waited for the Tarot party to open.
