After the wedding, the guests who filled the "Fool" church Prayer Hall slowly left. Monica also put away his shorthand notebook and said goodbye to the still somewhat excited town Author Alesu. He planned to return to the hotel to sort out the recorded content and prepare for the next week's travel notes.
This collective wedding was different from the ones she had participated in in Feynapotter and Desi Bay. It did not have an atmosphere that was so solemn and solemn that the guests did not dare to take a breath. Instead, it had a slightly carnival nature. This may be related to Yarnam City's own cultural heritage.
Of course, Monica suspected that this had something to do with the belief of "Fool". She tried to understand the teachings of God, whom she had not heard of elsewhere, and found that most of them were similar to Church of the Evernight Goddess, but with less red tape, and encouraged believers to help each other and communicate with each other.
It's a bit like copying... referring to the teachings of Church of the Evernight Goddess...Monica muttered silently, and then remembered that he was still at the door of the church. He looked back with some fear at the "Fool" holy emblem composed of strange lines and half an eye. Then he looked down and found that most of the guests had left, but there were still a few people dressed like strangers who were standing there and did not leave.
Among them was the middle-aged man with the Southern Continent blood and bronze complexion that she Oldest One noticed.
He faced the shadow in the corner and seemed to be talking to himself.
"After this, I will continue to stay at the Southern Continent. If the church needs me to do anything, you can contact me at any time... You should know how to summon my messenger."
Azik slowly put the hat on his head and said to Arianna in front of him.
The "church" in his mouth naturally refers to Church of the Evernight Goddess. After "Death" Salinger completely fell, and prayers to Him have essentially pointed to Evernight Goddess, Balam Empire left the largest The force "Numinous Episcopate" has basically been merged into Church of Evernight. On the surface, they still believe in Death. In fact, they also think that they believe in Death, but the object of their prayers has unknowingly become another one.
In this case, Azik believes that there is no need to stick to his origin. Moreover, his ability to break away from his father, the ruthless "Death"'s resurrection method and return to his current state also depends on the kindness of that Goddess.
"Thanks for your help, Mr. Azik Eggers."
Arianna still maintained that indifferent expression, stretched out his hand to point out the stars on his chest, and answered softly.
The mission of "Servant of Concealment" for this trip has been completed. "Blasphemer" Amon and his brother did not take advantage of the wedding to come to make trouble, which relaxed his tense nerves. He continued to exchange a few words with Azik and then prepared to leave.
At this moment, Azik held up his bowler hat and continued:
"There is something I hope you can convey to Goddess.
"When I was looking for the traces left by Death in the Highlands Kingdom, I found the body of Oldest One's Death, that is, 'Phoenix Ancestor' Gregrace deep in Underworld...
"His body, which was supposed to be completely dead, underwent a certain degree of mutation. Instead, the dead body fell into a deep sleep, as if it was affected by 'River Styx' again.
"The state of his body is related to some kind of 'new' power. Based on this, I suspect that a certain Great Existence outside the barrier has affected him... This information should be useful to Goddess."
From the moment he said the first sentence, Azik found that his voice became a little ethereal. It was clearly coming from his own mouth, but it seemed to come from afar, making it difficult for him to hear clearly.
This is "secret" authority.
After these words reached Arianna's ears in a special way, this "Servant of Concealment" nodded slowly, indicating that he would report it to Goddess.
Then, His figure disappeared as if erased by an eraser, and the slightly dark environment around Azik also regained its light.
This made him discover that "Queen Mystic" Bernadette, who was originally sitting deep in the Prayer Hall, was walking with another girl who was much shorter than her, as if she were her daughter. The latter's golden eyes narrowed slightly, and then relaxed after a moment.
Azik, who had already remembered the memory of "Death Consul" from the Balam Empire, smiled slightly and took the initiative to say:
"Good afternoon, Ms. Anne Gustav, and Ms. Bernadette Gustav."
His name made Anne, who originally had something to say, frown slightly, and Bernadette responded:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Azik Eggers, I never had the chance to thank you for your help in destroying the tomb of King."
Historical Projection once passively participated in the war, but knew nothing about it. Azik only learned about it during Klein's casual chat, and was startled, shook his head and said:
"Just a little thing.
"You also gave my student and the two juniors a lot of help."
Students and juniors... Bernadette looked back and found that by the altar at the end of the red carpet, the four couples who participated in the collective wedding today and the Wandering Magician and his assistant were still standing together, as if they had not left the festive aftertaste of the wedding.
But she knew that these were just Marionette, and there was only one newlywed couple actually participating in the wedding today.
Not only her, but every Angel present knew this.
"It's just little things. In fact, they helped me and Anne more."
This woman who has been promoted to "Sage" and became a member of the Angel she once longed for said frankly.
Azik nodded, stepped aside to let them leave the church, and passed City Hall Square, which was full of white doves, and walked to the other end. The sound of conversation was faintly heard:
"Sister Anne, before I leave, I want to take a stroll in this city. The street next door has Marionette designed after us. They are a pair of sisters..."
"Sisters?"
"Well, their names are in the language that Dad understands. I want to see if there are more secrets hidden in them, and... I am the elder sister and you are the younger sister."
"Okay, I have to keep an eye on Amon anyway, and I won't leave for the time being."
Looking at the two people's retreating figures, Azik smiled slightly and turned back to look at the "Amon" Anne Gustav said. Although the man also had black hair, he was obviously fatter and did not wear a monocle in his right eye.
The latter was standing by the wall, studying with great interest a mural praising the great Mr. "Fool" and his "Death Angel".
This Angel is the consul of Underworld, and has followed "Fool" for the longest time. In the painting, he stretches out a slightly darker-skinned hand from the richly colored but extremely weird space, and holds the other blood-stained arm, symbolizing that death is the real Redemption.
Inexplicably, Azik felt that this scene looked familiar.
Another pair of eyes also quietly locked on "Amon" who was studying the mural. It was not until the former consul of Dream City raised his head curiously, looked around, rubbed his hands and continued to look at the mural, that he slowly moved away.
When Leonard Mitchell used his lover Shermane to go to the altar to talk to her Miss Angelica, he tilted his head and asked in a low voice:
"Is that really the clone of 'Amon'?"
A joking old voice came from his ear:
"You don't have to lower your voice and pretend that he can't hear it. Since this clone is allowed to attend the wedding and has not been surrounded and eliminated by other Angel, it means that he is safe.
"Furthermore, I'm afraid that the real body of Amon can't care about us now. At that moment, your Mr. 'Fool' revived further, and established a fleeting connection with the three Pathway's Beyonder through 'Sefirah Castle' and my 'Marauder', 'Apprentice' and 'Seer'.
"I can feel it, Amon can definitely do it too.
"Before we have the opportunity to be promoted to Sequence 0 and compete with 'Fool' for Sefirah Castle, we don't have to worry about him causing trouble for the time being."
"So that's it..." Leonard nodded slowly, his body obviously relaxed. He walked slowly outside the church and continued to ask in a low voice, "In this case, you don't need to continue to 'parasitize' in my body to avoid His search?"
Pallez in his mind immediately laughed and replied:
"Oh, you think you have become Saint and have mastered a lot of occult knowledge, so you don't need my teaching anymore?"
Leonard looked around and found that there were only some pigeons looking for food in the square, and there were no other people waiting. He simply sat by the fountain pool, picked up a few grains and threw them to the pigeons, and said with careful tone:
"You can teach me and Shermane face to face. There is a bedroom for the elders on the second floor of the new house."
He is not really ungrateful, he feels that he no longer needs the guidance and help of this Parasite. With such a "portable Angel", even if he meets the real Mythical Creature, he will still be able to fight. Maybe just shouting "Old Man" will solve the problem.
And when he became a senior deacon and got the attention of Goddess, if Pallez had bad intentions, he would not be able to hide it from God, who was in charge of Authority of Secrecy, and would have been dealt with long ago, so the biggest harm of being "parasitized" was equivalent to non-existence.
The only problem is that it is not very convenient to have Angel in his body who will comment on his various behaviors at any time...
Looking at the back of Shermane who was talking to Angelica in the church, Leonard's face fell.
Unlike Leonard who was worried about his future life, Shermane fell into some kind of ecstasy deep in the church.
She suddenly discovered that not only "Miss Irene" and "Miss Angelica" were the same person, but also "Angel" and "Christine" who attended the collective wedding today were the same person.
This is not a group wedding, it is obviously a fun little game between husband and wife... Shermane's eyes kept moving on the brides, and he suddenly realized something.
Since these brides are all Miss Angelica, then the groom...
Klein, who has a bookish atmosphere, as if he has just entered the society from school; Sherlock, who has shaved off his stubble, but still makes people feel trustworthy; Gehrman, who has a cold expression but a gentle heart; Dawn, who is mature and steady, and spends a lot of money...
Is this the power of the high-ranking "Demoness"... Will it be too much to bear... Her eyes seemed to have a flash of light, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.
Seeing his "Minor Arcana Brand" expression changing constantly, Angel smiled helplessly and said:
"They are also the same person."
Ah, so that's it... The light in Shermane's eyes immediately dimmed, and he let out a long sigh of disappointment.
What is she disappointed about? Have you been taught bad things by that guy... Angel muttered, and kicked Shermane out of the church to accompany Leonard who was sitting in the square. Then he looked around the Prayer Hall and found that most of them All the Angel who attended the wedding have left, leaving only "Weather Warlock" Glaide Sauron whose body is hidden in the shadow of the corner, and Antigonus who covers his face with a hood.
Feeling the "Fool" church Mistress's eyes that looked like they were expelling guests, Antigonus tightened his hood and was about to exchange places with Marionette outside the city and leave, but he found the red-haired Hunter Angel walking in front of him and blocking his way.
Glaide Sauron was wearing Trier's popular floral shirt and Bell-Bottoms, with his hands in his pockets and a smile on his lips. He nodded towards this "Miracle Invoker" and said in a hoarse tone that sounded like a heat wave:
"How does it feel to watch your Beyonder Characteristic being used for promotion?"
This purposeful provocation did not make Antigonus angry. The latter smiled lowly and replied:
"It feels like a burden has been lifted off my shoulders and it's become easier."
While Glaide was astonished, he added:
"If I were to give you a copy of 'Conqueror' now, a copy of the characteristics accommodated by 'Blood Emperor' Tudor, would you dare to use it to get promoted?"
Why don't you dare?
Glaide's expression seemed to be answering like this, but he hesitated for a moment and shook his head:
"That's most likely Tudor's trap.
"Medici That guy might dare."
Seeing how frank he was, Antigonus smiled again and said:
"That's what I mean."
Then, He bypassed Glaide and walked out of the church that had become quiet. He looked back at the Prayer Halls where there were only a few newlyweds under the vault of the door and the "Fool" holy emblem. He noticed that these Marionettes Spirit Body Threadss were scattering one after another and temporarily lost control.
This is the last step of the wedding... This "Miracle Invoker" smiled and disappeared in the subtle firelight.
After driving away the last few guests, Wandering Magician Merlin symbolically snapped his fingers, allowing the brides in wedding dresses and the grooms in formal suits to return to their homes in the light of "Flaming Jump", and the main door of the church slowly closed with a creaking sound.
The stained glass was like a black curtain, and the outside sunlight was completely cut off, making Prayer Hall dim in the dim light from the few remaining candles.
Only then did Angel, who was wearing a black skirt, and Klein, who was wearing a windbreaker, emerged from the shadows, stepped on the thick Red Carpet, and came to the altar.
Klein thought about it for a while and said:
"You..."
"I do. "Angel didn't wait for him to finish, and quickly replied, "I am willing to leave with you Backlund, I am willing to be your wife, and I am willing to accompany you until the end of my life."
How did she learn Ms. Daly...Klein was startled, and realized that this was her answer every time she asked the other person "if you are willing". She felt moved in her heart, raised her arms and hugged Angel, only to find that the place where she held her was soft.
Only then did he notice that the black skirt on Angel was not a solid object, but composed of condensed Black Flame.
In other words, she is actually now... Klein took a deep breath, and the experience of being promoted to Sequence 1 and further mastering "Sefirah Castle" turned into courage. She picked up the other person and placed her on the spacious altar.
To his surprise, Angel did not struggle or resist. He just smiled and looked at the holy emblem composed of "Pupil-less Eye" and "Contorted Lines" above, and murmured in a low voice:
"You are blaspheming Mr. 'Fool'."
Looking at Angel with a smile on his face, Klein also laughed, and also lowered his voice and said mysteriously:
"This is the most sacred act of the 'Fool' church."
As he spoke, the entire "Fool" church was suddenly cast in a shadow, as if it was blocked by a huge curtain.
This is Divine Kingdom Prototype for "Fool".
Of course, Klein intentionally left a gap, attracting several "Spirit Body Threads" from different locations of Yarnam City, and using "Grafting" ability was transferred to Angel, allowing her who had previously obtained the "Marionettist" ability to passively share the senses of several other Marionette.
"Wait... what's going on?"
"Well..."
"Huh, no, there... huh..."
"Hoo ho ho, do you think that I, ho, only have the ability of 'Marionettist'?"
"Only you can ask your past self for help?"
In the "Fool" church, which has not yet been completely sealed, either low or high voices can be heard faintly.
PS: That's all for today...
