Angel asked this question mainly because he was worried that "Pale Empress" was actually a descendant of Azik Eggers, which would be more embarrassing in subsequent negotiations and even possible battles.
Just like a dispute within the family... She murmured and looked at Azik expectantly, only to find that Gentlemen, who had bronze skin and facial features with the Southern Continent features, shook his head indifferently and said:
"I have never met Him, and there is no such family member in my memory."
Without waiting for Angel to answer, he continued to add:
"However, when I went to the Old Baylam Empire area to search for my lost memories, I heard this name in a place named Tizamo Town. He should have been born in the later period of Fifth Epoch south of the North Continent., the time when Balam Empire was defeated by the North Continent coalition, he is currently a member of Royalist Faction of 'Numinous Episcopate', but even with the bloodline of Eggers, it is relatively thin."
Does that mean I don't need to worry about his feelings when I make a move? But this is Eggers Family's person after all... Tizamo, is this where part of Messenger Miss's body is buried? Angel started to murmur and asked instead:
"This Sia Palenque Eggers calls himself 'Pale Empress', but the information I got from Goddess confirms that he is just the 'Death Consul' of Sequence 2. Do you think it is possible for him to become 'Pale Emperor'?"
After being fully prepared, Angel is not worried about fighting Archangel who has simply mastered Sequence 1 Characteristic. He is even more confident about defeating the opponent, and in " Now that the authority of "Death" already belongs to Evernight Goddess, the other party has no possibility of calling God for help, which is worse than "Abomination" Suah.
But if the opponent is just Angel of Sequence 2, then the "capture Sequence 1 Characteristic" in Angel's plan can be completed without hurting Sia Eggers.
"I think He is just 'Death Consul', just like me," Azik replied, his voice lowered. "On the one hand, it is because after the death of my father, the ancestor of all Eggers, the 'Death' of the Balam Empire, those Sequence 1 No one has truly accommodated the characteristics of, and his will and Mental Imprint still remain. If Beyonder, who has his bloodline in his body, tries to be promoted, it is likely to be affected and become his support for Underworld's return... Of course, there is no need to worry about this now."
Because a certain means of His resurrection has been dismantled by Goddess, and Uniqueness has been taken away... Angel nodded.
"On the other hand, it's because according to my investigation and research, Fifth Epoch has not yet experienced a large-scale undead Calamity with a wide enough impact. This means that no one has tried to promote 'Pale Emperor' yet."
Azik continued.
"Is this Promotion Ritual of Sequence 1? A small 'Pale Calamity'?" Klein on the side suddenly asked.
"Absolutely, as far as I know, many Promotion Rituals of Pathway Sequence 1 are simplifications of Apotheosis Ritual. This may be related to the fact that Sequence 1 will truly control part of God's authority, and accommodating 'Uniqueness' also requires a process similar to Apotheosis Ritual."
Azik seemed reluctant to talk about "Pale Calamity" and quickly moved to other topics. Angel discovered this, and they tacitly agreed with Klein not to ask related questions, but asked:
"So, He should have Sealed Artifact formed by the characteristics of 'Pale Emperor' in his hand, so he is called 'Pale Empress'?"
"Only that one has no ownership." Azik nodded, indirectly acknowledging this.
The other two copies, one is "Pale Death" in the hands of Bernadette, and the other already belongs to Goddess... Angel realizes that Evernight Goddess instructed her to get the Sequence 1 Characteristic of "Pale Empress" as the only feasible option, otherwise she would have to snatch or exchange it from Bernadette, which would be considered "internal strife."
After roughly understanding the strength of Sia Palenque Eggers, and comparing it with the information obtained from Goddess, Angel no longer talked about "work" matters, but worked with Klein to communicate with Mr. Azik about the many events that had occurred in the outside world in the past eight months.
Although the two of them have been sending letters to this castle, it is obvious that talking to the junior in person can make Azik relax more than letters that can only be seen after waking up. This can be seen from his soothing expression and faint smile.
"So, you have been promoted to Sequence 2?"
After listening to their fierce battle with "Dark Angel", Azik blinked, looked at Klein, and asked with a look of relief on his face.
Klein nodded, put his hands in his pockets, raised his head slightly, and said with some pride:
"To be precise, I am preparing for the ceremony to be promoted to Sequence 1."
It's a pity that in the dream, his image is still that of a recently graduated history college student in Azik's memory. He is a little thin and bookish. Even if he poses handsomely, he can't hold up this momentum.
Fortunately, this action succeeded in amusing Azik. He pursed his lips and finally couldn't help but laugh. The trees were filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
After some commotion, the smile on Azik's face gradually faded, and the indescribable vicissitudes of life reappeared in his brown eyes. He looked at the two newcomers Angel who were still full of humanity and said solemnly:
"I know that you have many adventures and specialities, which gives you convenience and a sense of urgency, but I still want to advise you as an elder and as a teacher to slow down before continuing to advance, review your original intention of pursuing power, and control this power instead of being controlled by them."
Angel, who was always wary of being suppressed by divinity, and even tried every means to help Klein maintain his humanity, immediately nodded to express her understanding. She glanced at Klein beside her, who seemed to want to talk about the urgency of "Apocalypse", but in the end she did not speak, and just solemnly agreed.
Neither of them wanted to cause any more trouble to the elder who was immersed in his dream.
They also know why Azik made such a suggestion. Fourth Epoch's "Pale Calamity", Reincarnation's experience of forgetting the past and becoming a different person after a lifetime must have brought an indelible and profound memory to this Angel, and also made him know what things should be cherished.
Fortunately, I still have Klein, and he also has me... Angel thought happily, no longer talking about any topics about the outside world, but hanging out with Azik and Tingen City in the dreamland, Walking through the street in front of Silver Crown Restaurant, I came to North Borough Saint Selena Cathedral. I walked among the playful crowd in Street Park, which has been built without explosions or gods, until night fell completely.
As if tired from walking, Azik sat on the park bench and sighed with contentment.
He turned around and found that Angel and Klein had left at some point.
"I seem to have forgotten about 'urging marriage'..."
Azik smiled and said to himself. Every time he saw the two of them, he felt that they had a sense of urgency from the bottom of their hearts. They seemed to be desperately seeking opportunities for promotion. This was how he felt and reminded them just now.
"However, I should be able to wake up early and arrive in time for the real wedding..."
He shook his head, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes.
The noise around him and the bells of the church not far away instantly turned into nothingness, and Azik Eggers was completely surrounded by deep darkness.
"City of Generosity" Bayam, in a building with a garden near the port, the secret gathering held regularly every week is coming to an end.
The number of people at the gathering was small, only eight, but everyone was Beyonder, and they had two common characteristics. First, they were all ordinary people a few months ago, but they had recently taken Potion and gained real extraordinary power. Second, they were all loyal to a leader codenamed "Bishop."
They followed the rules set by the "bishop", first conducting transactions, then exchanging information, and finally free exchanges. Today's gathering soon ended, and they all put on hoods, slipped into the shadows, passed through walls, or climbed over windows, disappearing into the night.
One of the party members, who was burly and with messy black hair, walked through the streets and left the port. After confirming that no one was following him, he changed direction and walked towards the only remaining Bayam, Lord of Storms Church.
As he walked, he took off an inconspicuous ring. His hair color immediately turned into a dark blue like ocean waves, the outline of his face also changed, his facial features became deeper, and his eyes settled into azure.
He is "Hanged Man" Alger Wilson of Tarot Club, and he is also Cardinal Bishop of Church of Storms stationed in Bayam. He is Mr. "Bishop" and one of the members in the party who has just surrendered to "Sailor" Potion.
Alger returned to Wave Church like a gust of wind, put on Cardinal Bishop's robe, walked back to his office, opened the documents on the table as if nothing happened, and began to review them absentmindedly.
But in his mind, he continued to plan the promotion route of his batch of "Shadow Guard" and how to place them in various organizations, gatherings and key positions so that they could monitor the city at any time and serve himself.
This is his real "team", Beyonder whom he trained by learning the method of "Empress" Miss recruiting Minor Arcana Brand. In order not to expose his official identity, Alger bought a Mystical Item that could change his appearance from Tarot Club. He acted as the "bishop" of the party organizer and also blended in as one of the members. One person played two identities and had fun.
During this period, he distributed the characteristics of Low Sequence acquired from Tarot Club to his subordinates in the form of rewards, and formed a team composed entirely of Beyonder, loyal only to him, and hidden in the dark, making it independent of "Mandated Punishers". As Cardinal Bishop, he completed some tasks that were inconvenient for the authorities.
In order to completely master them, Alger deliberately selected a few Pathway that he could trade from Tarot Club to the subsequent Potion formula, and spent a lot of thought to make these Beyonder difficult to betray., such as deliberately choosing women to take "assassin" Potion, so that female assassins who are not tolerated by "Gnostic Society" and "Demoness Sect" can only rely on themselves, or "Apprentice" whose formula is almost unavailable to the outside world...
I always feel that this is a simplified version of "Tarot Club", and I am the "Fool" who controls everything... "Hanged Man" Alger Such a disrespectful thought suddenly appeared in my mind, and I was shocked. I quickly stood up from my seat and walked around the office a few times before gathering my thoughts and calming down.
Oh, how could the respected Mr. "Fool" build an organization in secret like me, and sneak into the members to secretly lead gatherings to build prestige?
He smiled self-deprecatingly, and was suddenly enveloped in a hazy Gray Fog, with a deep voice of "Fool" echoing in his ears.
