Not only was Angel confused by another "prophecy" due to the news "interrupted" outside the window, but Bernadette, who was also "Clairvoyant", also frowned.
It wasn't like it was an accident, but she was a little confused, because she also "predicted" the same future, but she just didn't think she should tell others?
Angel glanced at "Queen Mystic" whose expression changed slightly, then turned his attention to Klein and asked:
"Why 1368? Is there anything special about that year?"
"He didn't say it, but he mentioned that everyone with the power of prophecy is sure that Apocalypse will arrive at that time. Even 'God of Knowledge and Wisdom' is mentioned in the holy text. Of course, a savior will appear at that time..."
The savior... isn't it the Seven Gods, not these God who stand at the top of Sequence, but someone other than them?
Angel suddenly thought of "Orange Light" Hilarion's prophecy about himself that "Red Light" Venithan relayed before returning to Spirit World, and thought of Ascetic in "The Travels of Grosell" In Snoman's dream, the scripture he recited mentioned "the light when Apocalypse comes".
It's a pity that the latter is King of Angel, whom she feels unlucky even when she thinks about it.
But does this mean that when Third Epoch Ancient Sun God still ruled the world, when Spirit World appeared and Seven Lights was born, the prophecy of Apocalypse appeared?
She couldn't help but look at Bernadette again, looking forward to Clairvoyant's answer.
"There is indeed such a prophecy, and a long time ago, dating back to the early days of Fifth Epoch, there was a corresponding Apocalypse prophecy circulating secretly. The closer to that moment, the more accurate the time..."
Under the gaze of several people, Bernadette explained softly.
"... Of course, prophecies can be changed, but people's efforts often only make the results closer to the future described in the prophecies."
"Like this war?" Angel asked.
She remembered that not long ago, this "Queen Mystic" said that he would come to Backlund to deal with an important matter, and it was related to her promotion to "Sage" from Sequence 2.
"Yes, the ceremony for my promotion to Sequence 2 requires me to prevent a Catastrophe involving high-level power... I foresee that Backlund will have the opportunity I am looking forward to, so I made corresponding preparations many years ago. This year Loen Kingdom accumulates When I was preparing for the war, I guessed that this Catastrophe might be a worldwide war, so I tried hard to make some changes... But I didn't expect that it was Feysac who started the war, and now even Feynapotter and Church of the Earth Mother are participating in the war."
Bernadette replied with a rare hint of helplessness on his face.
After all, the brother of Amon has been planning for thousands of years, and it also involves the seven gods being wary of and hostile to each other on Adjacent Pathways. George III also plans to take advantage of the chaos to become a god. Not to mention Sequence 3, there is only a limit to what a Angel can do... Angel also sighed in his heart, somewhat doubting whether World War, who has already participated in this Feynapotter Kingdom and is very likely to involve the entire North Continent, is one of the signs before the arrival of "Apocalypse".
There may not be conflicts between countries, but as long as God really comes to an end, and gods descend or directly start a war between gods, it will be hard to say...
"But, doesn't Church of the Earth Mother have a church in Loen? Church of Storms excludes Eternal Blazing Sun and God of Knowledge. Evernight and God of Combat are incompatible with each other, but Earth Mother is not prohibited from preaching..."
Trissy, who was sitting back next to Angel, asked in confusion.
Bernadette glanced at her, not treating Divine Descent Vessel differently because she just claimed to be the evil god, and replied calmly:
"'Earth Mother' likes giants very much. There are many Feysac peoples among Blesseds. Compared with Loen, who has an unclear attitude and has an earth-shattering hatred with the Feynapotter Kingdom, he is probably more inclined to be with Feysac cooperates... and preaches with the acquiescence of the three gods. How can he severely injure Loen Kingdom, force Storm, Evernight and Steam to make concessions, and directly make Loen his own parish?"
In this way, after Feynapotter invades Lenburg and other small countries, I am afraid that it will not stop at this benefit. Instead, it is likely to unite with Feysac to attack Loen Kingdom from the bordering area of Desi Bay in the south. This will cause the situation that is barely maintaining balance to collapse instantly., even Intis may join this feast and share the interests of Loen together. After all, Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun and Church of Storms dislike each other, and Church of Steam may remain neutral, or may be inclined to Intis...
The more he thought about it, the more Angel felt that North Continent's situation would become even more chaotic, and this was exactly the result George III and that being wanted.
In the end, the only thing we can do is to try to stop George III's plot, and we have to find the right time, so that when he tries to hold a ceremony to land on God's Throne, it must not cause too much impact. Otherwise, when "Black Emperor" dies and the royal family is in chaos, Loen may not be able to resist the invasion of other countries, and more civilians will die in the flames of war.
Whether to deal with George III regardless of the consequences, or to sit back and watch the Loen emperor become a god and let the war burn to other countries. This kind of contradiction, no matter what choice, is against the original intention, filled Angel's mind. Until the discussion between the four was about to end, Bernadette looked at her again and said:
"Taking advantage of the naval confrontation between Feysac and Loen, the pirates on the Berserk Sea became active again, but 'King of the Five Seas' The flagship of Nast Solomon mysteriously disappeared, and an armored ship of Loen Navy also left the formation and disappeared... I suspect that they went to look for 'Ghost Empire'."
Angel felt shocked, nodded and replied:
"I will try to contact the royal family member Duchess to find out the news."
She originally planned to put this matter aside after the George III was resolved, but since both the royal family and "King of the Five Seas" had taken action, she naturally could not remain idle, otherwise she would be giving up the legendary Ghost Ship to these two forces.
And whether Angel under George III gets a copy of Sequence 1's "Hand of Order", or Nast Solomon tries to jump to "Arbiter"'s Sequence 2, it is not the ending that Angel wants to see.
After leaving "Golden Theater", Angel went straight to North Borough, got directly into the stained glass inside Saint Samuel Cathedral Prayer Hall, and left Mirror World when no one was paying attention, with his figure outlined in the corner.
Almost immediately, a gaze came from the last row of seats of the Prayer Hall and landed accurately on Angel.
It was a young man with short black hair wearing a black vest and a white shirt. He had a book "Night's Revelation" spread out on his knees. His bookish appearance did not belong to anyone in Angel's memory.
But the emotion revealed in those dark brown eyes made her immediately recognize the other person as Klein.
He quietly approached and sat next to the other person as if he had found an empty seat at random. Angel waited until the bishop next to the altar finished reciting a sacred text and the believers bowed their heads in prayer, then whispered:
"Why did you invite me here? You should know that it is very risky for us to meet now."
Her voice was a little abrupt in the quiet Prayer Hall, but even the believers sitting in the front row did not react at all. In their eyes, the two believers were also bowing their heads in prayer, and this was the case from any direction.
But even so, she was a little worried. After all, Zarathus was secretly watching, and "Red Angel"'s attitude was unclear. Maybe Amon's Avatar took advantage of the chaos and came to Backlund. It was best not for the two of them to meet anywhere other than Tarot Club, to avoid being targeted at the same time and catch them all at once.
If Klein hadn't given the hint according to the agreed gesture just now during "Golden Theater", she wouldn't have come here.
"Sorry..."
Klein's disguised voice was a little different from usual. It took Angel a second to realize that the other party was not apologizing for asking him to come to the church to meet, but for another thing tonight...
"You finally discovered that there was something wrong with today's 'acting'? If I had overreacted, or if 'Queen Mystic' had also been patronized by Amon, so that I took action immediately without confirming the authenticity, how were you going to end it?"
She crossed her arms across her chest and put her right leg on her left leg. Her aura suddenly increased and she reprimanded confidently.
"At first, I felt that I needed to improve my strength as much as possible before taking action, and it would be best to be promoted to 'Scholar of Yore', but the progress was very slow. Limited by Zarathus's prying eyes, I could only keep changing locations, and leave immediately after pretending for a while. So after confirming today's meeting, I thought of using Amon's characteristics to make a Deception and intimidate..."
Klein's voice was still low and his expression became serious.
"... But in retrospect, I did cross the line a bit. Although I did not harm ordinary people in my usual performance, I have lost some moral restraints on my close companions and you... Well, this may also be related to the last exchange with the evil spirit 'Red Angel'. I was affected by his personality, which made it a little inflated..."
He rarely finds external reasons for his actions, and although "Red Angel" is not as powerful as Fourth Epoch, he was once there for Sequence 1. It may indeed affect Klein, who is only Sequence 4, on the level of "provocation" or "betrayal". On the contrary, It is very rare for him to discover this by himself... Besides, he also took some precautionary measures in advance, such as wearing a monocle on his left eye, and using the gestures we agreed on... Many thoughts flashed through Angel's mind. Just when he was about to say something, Klein lowered his head again and said:
"I'm sorry."
If he continues to apologize like this, will it have any impact on his psychology, such as his self-confidence in front of me, or his initiative in other matters... Angel's mouth twitched, and finally he couldn't help laughing. Under the cover of the "Mirror Illusion" around him, he smiled wantonly and charmingly, making Klein's somewhat gloomy expression gradually fade away, and finally he even laughed together.
He also noticed that with the current relationship between the two, what the other party needed was not an apology, but honesty.
I'm sorry... he repeated in his heart, but was caught off guard by Angel, who hugged him, his nose was filled with the familiar body fragrance, and his arms were tightly bound by an inescapable force.
"Wait, didn't you say this is dangerous..."
Klein lowered his voice and tried to struggle with words.
"In Goddess's church, Mirror World again, no one can see..."
Angel said with a subtle breath in his ear, and the two figures disappeared instantly between the last row of seats of the Prayer Hall. The clicking sound like broken glass was also covered up by the sermon that started again.
Above the altar, with a dark background and stars surrounding Crimson Moon, Night Emblem was illuminated by the moonlight outside the window, shining with a mysterious and profound light.
