Before approaching the corner of the hall, Azik, who was sitting on the sofa wearing a top hat and leaning on a cane, staring at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling, noticed the approach of another Angel. He looked down, with a smile and... a trace of doubt on his face.
Mr. Azik won't forget me...Angel felt nervous, stepped forward and took off the hood that covered his face, and took the initiative to say:
"Mr. Azik, I didn't expect you to wake up so quickly."
After successfully trying the spring water of "Samaritan Women's Spring" to repair the soul of "Death Consul" for the first time, Angel will go to Trier again every other month. Deep in the fourth layer of Underground Catacombs, at the leakage point of River of Eternal Darkness's tributary power, fresh spring water contaminated by Sefirah's power was collected again, and came to repair the inverted pyramid in Azik's dream.
After the third repair in early December, the pyramid representing the soul state of Azik has been completely closed, with no gaps visible. This means that the damage to his soul has been completely healed, but whether he can truly wake up depends on his own efforts.
I originally thought it would be early next year... While muttering, Angel sat across from Azik. As soon as she put her body into the resting space surrounded by soft cloth cushions, the familiar voice that she had not heard in real life for more than a year came into her ears:
"I woke up in that old castle three days ago, but it was this morning that I really regained my memory."
As he spoke, he looked around, and a cold atmosphere that was different from the hot and humid environment of the Southern Continent filled the corner of the hall where the two were alone. The surrounding noises also became blurred. Several passengers who wanted to take a rest here were stunned for a moment, and their bodies involuntarily turned to other rest spots, away from this corner that had become scary for some reason.
Compared with Mirror Magic, it is not low-key enough, but this may be the difference in style of different Pathway... Angel commented inwardly, realizing that Azik was using this to explain that he had regained control of all power and memory, and asked curiously:
"Are they the letters between Klein and me?"
"Yes, it helped me a lot," Azik replied with a smile, the black mole under his right ear looming, "The memories in the dream seemed to be covered with a layer of fog after I woke up, and those letters allowed me to clear the clouds and retrieve them... This reminded me of an important thing..."
"Tingen, the false Klein and Angel in the dream always come to the teacher's office to inform me that they are engaged and invite me to the wedding... So when are you going to get married?"
This...Angel was speechless and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
She and Klein both lost their parents in "this life". From a social relationship point of view, Azik can be regarded as their only elder, so she can't just ignore this kind of "urging marriage", and she doesn't want to deceive the other party.
"I'm afraid this will have to wait until Klein is promoted to Sequence 1... He is currently busy running that Marionette City, and I'm afraid he won't be able to spare time... You know, that is the most important Promotion Ritual."
Angel replied hesitantly, waving his hands in front of him, strengthening his tone to indicate that he was not looking for excuses.
"Haha, in the dream, you are still Beyonder from Low Sequence. You don't need to think so much, and you won't face more dangers... Men should take the initiative in this kind of thing... I will go find him."
Azik moved back, pressed his body against the back of the sofa, sighed, and then returned to the topic:
"After reading your letters, finding various documents I had buried in the basement of the castle, and having a clear understanding of the current situation, I came to East Balam, the port closest to Tizamo Town.
"On the one hand, this is because I mentioned to you before that there are traces of the descendants of the Eggers Family here, and you need to look for 'Pale Empress'. I think I can provide some help in this matter; on the other hand, it is also the guidance of Spirituality... or, some kind of aggregation."
As he spoke, he looked at Angel's fair calves and knees that were exposed outside the skirt because of his sitting position.
Hmm... He was looking at "Hidden Holy Emblem" on my wrist... Angel was startled and raised his left hand that was resting on his knee.
This holy emblem that once allowed Angel to safely survive the weak period looks like just a black iron piece with stars and a half-moon printed on it, but using Spirit Vision, you can find that there is a fog that alternates between dark black and pale, and there is a dark red light inside trying to break through the fog's blockade.
That was the trace that when she was exploring "Samaritan Women's Spring", "Underworld Daoist" blocked a little bit of the breath emitted by "Blood Emperor" Residual Soul.
Because the power of Sefirah "River of Eternal Darkness" attracted the attention of Death pathway Angel, so we almost met by chance in a "feature aggregation" way? Angel realized something and simply took off the holy emblem and placed it on the coffee table between the two of them.
If Azik can be attracted, what about "Pale Empress"?
Azik took a deep look at the breath left by "Underworld Daoist", smiled slightly, and said:
"This may not be effective. Sia Palenque Eggers, as the leader who has led Numinous Episcopate'Royalist Faction' after the North Continent colonized Southern Continent and Balam Empire fell apart, will definitely be wary of this being a trap."
"Our very existence is a declaration of Him, and I think He will come to see us."
Angel said.
She is not too anxious about this matter. It is best to gain something from coming to Pylos Port this time. It doesn't matter if she doesn't gain something.
After all, what we have to face is Angel who is in charge of Sequence 1 Sealed Artifact. In fact, Angel believes that the best time to contact is after Klein is promoted to "Mystic Seer", then he who is above Gray Fog will call "Sefirah Castle"'s power, combined with Angel who also masters Sefirah and "City of Calamity", even King of Angel who has collected all the characteristics of Amon and Uniqueness, and only needs a ceremony to become God, may not be able to defeat them in a head-on battle.
But last month, after Angel once again used "Corpse Oil Candle" Mystic Ritual to go to the Western Continent, she did not meet Dao Integrator from other Sefirah as planned, but only met "Celestial Master" who had guided her last time.
"Celestial Master" conveyed the concerns of other Dao Integrator: They believed that in order to avoid the situation like "Blood Son of Heaven" Alistar Tudor, sealing Internal and external communication should not be limited to Angel alone, but should be based on "Sefirah", allowing the corresponding God to contact Dao Integrator.
Of course, "Celestial Master" also interpreted this concern from her own perspective, believing that this was a good opportunity for Angel to establish trust with other Dao Integrator, and hoped that she could "bring together" the communication between God and Dao Integrator first.
There is no doubt that the best choice is "Evernight Goddess" who has thoroughly mastered Adjacent Pathways Sequence 1 and Uniqueness.
But there is a problem. Evernight Goddess cannot directly contact "River of Eternal Darkness", and the known Sefirah leak point is located underground at Trier. It is impossible for an enemy God to enter, even if it is Neither can Divine Descent Vessel. Although there may be another leak point deep in Calderon, it is also very dangerous. Angel believes that only after Klein is promoted to Sequence 1 can the two of them explore safely.
Or, she can hope to solve this problem if she can master a Sequence 1 Characteristic of darkness, Death or Twilight Giant, and have characteristics similar to "River of Eternal Darkness". With the protection of her own "City of Calamity", she can hope to solve this problem.
Therefore, the key to whether we can continue to communicate with the Western Continent falls on the Sequence 1 Characteristic of "Pale Empress"... Another breakthrough is on "God of Steam and Machinery". I sent information about the Western Continent to Bornova. I wonder when God will respond... Angel sighed secretly, changed the topic, and said:
"Sia Eggers didn't use the characteristics in his hands to promote Sequence 1. Is it because the ceremony is difficult to complete nowadays?"
"This is just one reason. The Catastrophe that Promotion Ritual of 'Pale Emperor' wants to create will inevitably attract the attention of Orthodox Church. Once its existence is exposed, it will be equivalent to death for him."
Azik explained in a soft voice, but did not elaborate on the specific form of the ceremony.
"Another reason I have mentioned before is that although his Eggers bloodline is thin but still exists, he was promoted in the early years when my father, 'Death' Salinger, had not completely fallen. It is very likely that he would be affected by the residual consciousness in Beyonder Characteristic and become the carrier of God's resurrection."
"God of Combat" Bardhiel seems to have inherited his father's legacy and became God, but there was nothing wrong with him... Is this the special nature of "Death" Pathway? Angel guessed.
She is very satisfied with the current situation that "Pale Empress" is just Sequence 2 and is unwilling to be promoted to Sequence 1. After all, the difficulty of killing a Archangel to seize the characteristics is completely different from negotiating to get a Angel to hand over the characteristics.
Seeing that her expression was sometimes happy and sometimes pensive, Azik smiled and joked:
"What, you want to be 'Pale Emperor'? The success rate of jumping to non-adjacent Pathway is too low, even if you have the power of 'Sefirah'."
"No, it's just Goddess's mission... but 'Death' and 'Demoness' are not non-adjacent Pathway..."
Angel shook his head and said, and by the way, he told Azik that the two Pathways of "City of Calamity" and the three Pathways of "River of Eternal Darkness" could be jumped.
The latter's expression was a little stunned, but he calmed down after a moment and said to himself:
"This may explain why my father tried to accommodate Uniqueness of 'Red Priest'. That 'True Creator' should have told Him about this..."
But he was still half crazy in the end and died at the end of "Pale Calamity"... According to Roselle, this is the right direction, but in the wrong order...
Angel was thoughtful and not sure whether this idea was correct, so he said casually:
"Fortunately, that Death has completely fallen, and there is no chance of resurrection anymore... If you don't need that 'Pale Emperor' Goddess, maybe you can consider promoting to Sequence 1?"
Azik shook his head.
"As my father's back-up man for resurrection, although I peeled off that part of the soul with the help of Evernight Goddess, and repaired the remaining part with your help, the risk of continuing to be promoted is still very high... Moreover, I don't think my father may have completely fallen. The means he left behind seem to be more than just Berserk Sea The mausoleum deep in, and the corpse of Phoenix Ancestor deep in Underworld... He has always said that there are some secrets hidden in the ancient god's corpse, and he will stay in Underworld for a long time to study, and maybe he will do something in it."
"Phoenix Ancestor Gregrace? Didn't He die thousands of years ago?" Angel asked with half confusion and half interest, "If you need help, I can go to Underworld together."
"The environment there has a great impact on Beyonder that is not 'Death', 'Chained' Pathway, even if it is Angel Same thing... wait until you get the characteristics of 'Pale Emperor' before you think about it, and I'm probably overthinking this matter. If my father still has a chance to be resurrected, the first person to stop him will be Evernight Goddess."
Azik smiled and said, as if he just mentioned it casually.
So, the premise of both things is the characteristics of "Pale Emperor"... In addition, I also plan to stop by Tizamo Town to help the messenger, Ms. Reinette, retrieve part of her body that was hidden there... It is impossible to obtain the characteristics of Sequence 1 first, right? Angel mumbled and told Azik about going to a nearby town.
The latter thought for a moment and said:
"I didn't find much abnormality when I arrived in that town last time, but when you get there, you can try to summon that Spirit World Creature. Her sense of her body should be stronger than ours."
I think so too... If Reinette can't find his own hands and feet, he can't count on us... Angel chuckled secretly and was about to change the topic to a lighter topic. Suddenly Spirituality became aware of it and realized that a certain powerful Beyonder was quickly approaching.
The already low surrounding temperatures also dropped further, like a sudden transition from summer in the southern hemisphere to cold winter.
She looked at Azik and found that the latter also had a solemn face and looked to the side of the two of them.
The ground that was originally illuminated by crystal lamps, but became blurred because Azik used the power of Spirit World to separate from reality, was suddenly dyed with a bright watercolor color, and a tall figure stepped into reality from Spirit World.
This is a woman who looks to be about thirty years old. She has medium black hair that just reaches her shoulders and is slightly curled at the end. She is wearing a traditional Balam white robe with a chest neckline that exposes a large area of skin. The exposed skin is darker in color, but it is not as dark brown as other Southern Continent people, but looks like a healthy wheat color that has been sunburned.
She wears a crown made of white bones on her head, which is like a crown made up of sword blades pointing to the sky. The lines of her facial features are relatively soft, but only the bridge of her nose is high. Her light brown eyes are as calm as dead water, and she is staring at Azik Eggers.
"Welcome to Pylos Port," she said in a tone as cold as Frost, "I guess you are the 'Death Consul' from Church of the Evernight Goddess?"
Without waiting for Azik to answer, she looked at Angel again, her eyes lingering on the latter's face, the graceful curvature of her waist and exposed calves as she leaned on the sofa, and continued:
"And you are the 'Catastrophe' Demoness who is very active in East Balam?"
"In fact, two years ago, I was still wanted and arrested by 'Nighthawks'." Azik smiled, stood up from the sofa, and faced the woman with an unfriendly attitude, "You must be 'Pale Empress' Sia Palenque Eggers?"
