But there is no rush now. Although Israel is indeed suffering from hidden injuries, it will still be a long time before he dies. If His Majesty the Emperor does not commit suicide and randomly pursues some healing methods, he will definitely still be alive. A dozen or twenty years.
The most important thing now is to make things clear first.
When he and Nostradamus walked back to the side of the Avenue of Truth, where everyone gathered, Joshua had already roughly narrated his experience in the Royal Mage Association. Among them, the words in the Box of Erebus He also explained a little about the God's Seal and the afterimage of the God of Despair and Luck, giving the old mage a general understanding of it.
"Were there gods who fought against the abyss in ancient times... Was the black mist before that caused it to be polluted?"
Based on the information told by Joshua, Nostradamus came up with an answer that was not wrong, but not correct either. However, the warrior was too lazy to correct the error in this regard, so he just let him go, while the old mage continued to sigh. : "You guys are right, you will cause big trouble wherever you go."
"right!"
"Um."
The silver-haired girl standing next to Joshua immediately nodded vigorously, while the black-haired boy responded in agreement.
"I know how to make noise... But let's not talk about these things for now. Master Nostradamus, our original purpose was to come to the Royal Mage Association to find someone to accompany me to my territory to collect samples of the plague."
After glaring at his magic machines, Joshua looked back at the Royal Mage Association. The association was not corroded by the black mist, and the spells protected it and its internal experimental equipment very well. But such a big event happened. The association is certain to fall into a period of dysfunction: "Then things are going to be in trouble."
"You're right, but don't worry too much."
Smiling slightly, the old mage raised his hand and pointed at Moore, who had just woken up and was now looking seriously, listening to Vera's explanation of what had happened during this period, and then said in a low voice: "I have thought of these consequences a long time ago, so there are Matters regarding the plague will not be delayed - later, my friend Tamara Moore and her students will accompany you to Moldavia to retrieve the plague samples."
"Haha, just so they don't have to suffer the emperor's wrath."
Shaking his head slightly, Joshua could naturally see Nostradamus' purpose. The seven mages in the second research room made an experimental error, which caused black fog to fill the air. Most of the buildings on the Avenue of Truth were corroded, and the direct economic losses exceeded eight One hundred thousand gold coins, it would be strange if Israel didn't hang these people up and beat them up, as other people in the association would also be implicated.
The four of them made their way back to the crowd.
Tonight, all the people around the Avenue of Truth were rushed to the church and the city hall. The city guards have been busy escorting the people and maintaining order. Although the appearance of the two-headed giant just now made them extremely nervous and alert, However, he did not stop what he was doing. Instead, he quickly started asking people to leave as soon as possible.
The church, on the other hand, seems relatively silent.
Saya had just told Robzek about what happened, and after listening to this, the silver-haired middle-aged man kept frowning and thinking about something.
It didn't matter whether he was recalling the test in the dream or thinking about what was going on. After noticing that Joshua and others were back, he and the elder nun thanked Joshua and others. .
After the leader of the knights thanked him, he led the church knights in a daze towards the place where the church mission lived. Robzek's current condition did not look very good. He did not even ask Joshua. After the experience in the underground laboratory of the Mage Association, I didn't ask what was going on with the black mist that lured people's souls to sleep. From a certain perspective, it was very derelict, but the warriors could understand each other.
After all, after personally killing more than a dozen of his former companions in a dream, no matter how strong a person is, he will feel a little moved and uneasy after calming down. But with the other party's mental strength, this is only temporary. Tomorrow morning, The cheerful leader of the Knights is back.
"Thank you very much, Count, for your help. It is all your credit that Captain Robzek was able to leave safely this time."
Before leaving, Saya bowed slightly to Joshua. Her expression looked calm, even with a smile: "If there is an opportunity in the future, the church will thank you deeply. If there is anything that needs help, we will also We will do our best to help.”
"Nothing, it should be."
Said indifferently, Joshua looked at the departing church people, especially Robzek's somewhat lonely back, and whispered to himself: "It's no wonder he advised Loranda to put down her psychological burden as soon as possible. Saint Knighthood is a really dangerous profession.”
"That's natural. After all, the church is the frontline organization that has been fighting evil."
Nostradamus shrugged slightly, looked at the sky with meaning, and whispered to Joshua: "Although most mages do not believe in gods and only pursue the truth, I have to say that the gods of our era and the history of The recorded gods are completely different. They may be willful, they may have no mercy, and they may even have no interest in anything in the mortal world, but they do indeed hate evil and chaos."
"I'm going to see His Majesty the Emperor later, so I won't talk nonsense."
Realizing that he had said too much, the old mage shook his head: "Joshua, didn't you say you were hungry? A banquet has been prepared for you on the Royal Avenue. Please do not refuse."
When Joshua and others went to King's Road, among the people leaving the church, Saya was talking softly with Robzek.
"You mean, he has divinity in him?"
The silver-haired knight leader said to himself in a somewhat puzzled voice: "But how old is he? Even Your Majesty is only on the road of exploration now, how could he..."
"His Majesty the Pope once said that this earl from the North has the inheritance from the saints."
The elder nun shook her head slightly. She looked at the cross star amulet on her chest in a daze, and then sighed: "And the double blades on the successors of the Kaos family are also inherited from the saints. You should know that that means What are you wearing?"
"Of course I know."
After a pause, Robzek clenched his fists, and then said word by word in a serious tone: "When the saint's inheritance gathers together, that's when the prophecy will come true."
—At the origin of heaven and earth, in the depths of seas and mountains, the original fire was poured out, so the seas were consumed with heat and fierce winds, and the sky was covered with clouds of fire and ashes.
The stars in the sky fall, the dark abyss opens, the ridges collapse into basins, and the valleys rise into mountains.
The end of this world is coming soon.
"It's still early, Captain, it's too early for you to worry."
With a pursed smile, Saya shook her head: "Although the situation in the Far South is severe now, we are not worried to this extent. The countries on Mycroft Continent have strong strength, and when danger comes, they will not be left without help. The power to fight back.”
"And let's not talk about this for now. Captain, what do you think of us inviting this Earl to participate in that plan?"
"What did you say?"
After hearing Saya's words, Robzek immediately frowned and turned to look at the other party. The elder nun's expression was calm, and her eyes were covered by blindfolds, making it difficult to see her eyes clearly. This lady came from the Gladden Monastery. The Battle Sister was not affected by the paladin's gaze, but said seriously: "He has divinity and can go deep into the Abyss of Anos without a sacred weapon. He is so powerful that even the mad dragon cannot stop him."
"You're right... but this is the church's plan."
Robzek nodded slightly, but still refused: "We can't let an outsider join, and if everything goes well, we can eradicate those things in one go."
"Maybe, I'm just making an opinion."
Not paying attention to the other party's rejection, Saya seemed to just say casually: "But no matter what, we really need to pay close attention to the Moldavia lord."
"Only this."
Robzek nodded. He recalled the scene he had experienced when he fell into a dream. After a period of silence, the leader of the Knights nodded deeply: "I agree."
