"Saint Isaac, on behalf of the master of fate, I convey to you the will from the clouds."
The high-ranking priest, who was covered in a dark blue robe and couldn't even see his face, respectfully saluted the man in front of him who was in high spirits.
In front of the high-ranking priest, Isaac nodded indifferently. After leaving the City of Light, he took the homeless girl Sania all the way back to the center of Erasia, and met the high-ranking priest who conveyed his will. priest.
The silence of the flames plunged the whole of Erasia into darkness. The closer it gets to the capital of Erasia, the brighter the sky becomes. From a little bit of starlight to a dim light, the hope of human beings against this doomsday exists. In the cloud city at the end of the sky.
"Ronis, what news did you bring me?"
Isaac asked, the high-ranking priest in front of him had a relationship with him in the City of Light. The luminous method that Ronis brought back from the City of Light saved the people of Erasia from being troubled by darkness.
"That's sad news about your godmother, the angel of Andorra who is righteous." Ronis sighed.
Isaac was slightly taken aback. Hearing that the matter was related to his godmother, it seemed that it was not good news. His heart immediately became anxious, and he hurriedly followed Ronis's words and asked: "What happened? The Angel of Andorra With the protection of fate, how could an accident happen?"
Ronis just shook his head, as if he didn't want to believe what he said: "According to the oracle issued by the stigmata, the Angel of Andorra has turned his back on his destiny and turned to become a member of the enemy. The Angel of Andorra has always been a member of the enemy. Famous for their piety, Angels in the Clouds no one wants to believe it, but that's how it is."
"This is impossible!" Isaac roared, "Since I woke up from the clouds, the Angel of Andorra has taught me to be devout. She has cleared away the distracting thoughts in my beliefs. She is the godmother I admire the most. How is it possible? Will something like this happen? It must be that group of unrighteous people did something to her, where is she now? Is Bracada right? I will go find her immediately!"
After finishing speaking, the angry Isaac made a gesture to leave. Seeing this, Ronnies stretched out his hand to stop him.
"I understand your confusion and anger. The stigmata have already expected that this oracle was specially sent to you. Do you accept it or not?" Roniss said slowly.
Isaac took a deep breath, and the oracle from the Stigmata in the Clouds was something that he, as a saint, could not ignore no matter what, so he could only half kneel on the ground in the end: "I am willing to accept the stigmata oracle."
Ronis took out a packaged parchment scroll from his sleeve, with a griffin waving its claws and spreading its wings printed on the wax paint, which belonged to King Erathia's seal. Roniss opened the parchment, but saw the golden light shining from it, dyeing Ronis's face golden, and he stared at the contents of the scroll without squinting:
"Andor rebelled against the city of clouds, and the position of the holy angel is vacant. Saint Isaac will return to the holy city in the cloud today to succeed the position of the holy angel."
Ronis read the oracle slowly, and the expression on his face changed slightly. Before reading the contents of the oracle, Ronis did not know the specific contents. Although he knew that Andorra was Isaac's godmother, he also knew that Isaac would complain about this matter after Andorra's rebellion. What he didn't expect was that the stigmata had chosen Saint Isaac as the next holy angel.
Among all kinds of angels, the holy angels enjoy a very special status, and their comprehensive strength is by no means inferior to that of the archangel. The protection that comes from fate can make all enemies complain.
After re-rolling the parchment, Ronis took a deep breath, the dazzling light returned to calm as the parchment was closed, but there was still some light remaining in his eyes, which could not dissipate for a long time:
"The angel of the holy order... that is not an easy position. The angel of the holy order will not end well. The angel of the holy order, Lucifer, became the king of hell after he fell, and he is still doing harm to the world. The angel Andor has also betrayed Cloud City now. The above is the content of the oracle, and I can only wish you good luck and don't repeat the mistakes of those angels."
After explaining these words, Ronis turned and left, and Isaac stood there blankly, being appointed as the new Holy Tribunal, but he couldn't feel the slightest joy. Worried, he believed that there must be something else hidden.
It wasn't until a slight sound of footsteps sounded behind him, and the girl walked slowly to his side, that Isaac came back to his senses.
Seeing that he had finished talking with Roniss, the girl leaned over and asked, "Should we continue on? Where are you taking me?"
"We are almost there. After crossing the Cold Moon River, we will see Bright Moon City ahead." Isaac said, after saving the girl's life from Andorra's trial, Isaac saw her own He decides to help the girl, so that she can find a shelter when the end comes.
The girl is lively and smart, not suitable for a monastery with strict discipline. It is obviously not a wise decision to put her in Erathia where the end is coming and everyone is in danger. It is impossible to take care of her all the time, she still maintains a human body, which also adds a lot of trouble to Isaac, after much deliberation, there is only one place suitable for placement.
"Here we are. This is the home of the Griffin in Mingyue City, and it is also the largest orphanage in Erasia. You will stay here to live in the future." Cross the meandering river, enter the towering city, and look at the crowds of The white building, Isaac said slowly.
Since the rise of the necromancers, the number of Erathians has dropped sharply, and the number of orphans in the territory has increased significantly. With the awakening of the stigmata, orphanages and other facilities have also received enough funds from the nobles to help those homeless The Erathians offered shelter.
The coming of the saint shrouded in light was naturally warmly welcomed by the people. One after another, the children stuck their heads out to check the extraordinary comer. Even the head of the orphanage respectfully greeted him at this moment.
"Your Excellency, I never thought you would visit the House of Griffins." The elderly dean, who was two heads shorter than the tall Isaac, greeted him with a smile on his face, rubbing his hands.
"I didn't come here for Erasia's official business." Isaac said slowly, "I met an orphan during the mission, and her parents were killed in the mission, and there is no her in Erasia today. I hope she can stay in the House of Griffins."
The dean had no objection, but couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"Any inconveniences?" Isaac asked.
"It is a great honor to be able to raise orphans for Erasia." The dean said slowly, "It's just that today is different. Since the flames in the world were extinguished, all the crops in the fields have died, and the price of food has continued to rise. , I heard that in the remote areas of Erathia, a famine has begun, and the funds of the orphanage are becoming more and more stretched, maybe before the enemy comes, hunger will kill us.”
Isaac didn't answer for a while, and then said after a while: "I understand, I will take her to other suitable places."
"Your Excellency, I didn't mean that." The dean said at this time, "One more person will not bring any more burden to the Griffin House. There are already enough burdens here. I just ...It's just that there is no hope. People say that the end is approaching. No one can escape from this end. The only thing waiting for me and other ordinary people is death. Your Excellency, is this true? ? Is there no hope in this world anymore?"
"Are you afraid of death?" Isaac simply asked.
"Me? When the undead were raging, I confronted those evil dead on the top of Mingyue City. I watched my companions fall one by one, but I never flinched. If you ask me if I am afraid of death, I think I should Not scared. What really scares me is what happens when Griffin House closes down and the kids lose their old homes or worse and we only have enough food for a few weeks at most , even I don't want to think about it." The dean replied.
"Really...you don't have to worry about it now, because I'm here." Isaac patted his chest and said, "I will report the matter to the stigmata to find a solution to the problem. Before the food runs out, I will return with a solution, and then you will no longer have to worry about the food problem."
With Isaac's promise, the dean's hanging heart was finally relieved. The words of the saints are the best guarantee. The saints who walk in the world will never tell lies to deceive others, which troubles the dean. The long-standing problem has finally found a solution.
Isaac just waved his hand to the dean’s excited thanks. He is a saint with justice in his heart. These are just what he should do. He can’t just sit idly by and ignore the suffering Erathia people.
Before leaving, the girl Sania seemed to be aware of the upcoming separation, and looked at the saint with some reluctance: "Isaac, are you leaving?"
Isaac nodded and admitted the content of the girl's words: "I'm going to the holy city in the clouds to succeed the position of the holy angel. My godmother Andor is in trouble now, she is trapped in Bracada Among them, no matter what others say, I believe that she will not make a defection, I will ask her to understand, if she is really bewitched by the enemy, I must rescue her."
The girl just glanced at him with nostalgia: "I will miss you."
Hearing this, Isaac took a pendant from his body and handed it to Sania: "This is the seal that my godmother engraved for me. When you encounter difficulties, seeing it is equivalent to seeing it." When you come to me, you don’t have to be afraid, you can find your way forward.”
The girl took the saint's pendant. The stone pendant was engraved with unique patterns. When she carefully observed the pattern on it, she saw that the raging fire was burning wantonly. The thin body of the boy was looming in the altar. body, turning half of his body into ashes.
The girl stared at the pattern on the pendant, unable to move her eyes away for a moment: "Who is the person engraved on the seal?"
"This is my seal, who do you think is on it?" Isaac shrugged, and couldn't help but feel a little amused by the girl's words.
He patted the girl's head, and then came to the open space beside him. When Isaac opened his arms, a beam of light descended from the sky, completely covering the saint's body, and his body also followed the beam of light, rising in the air , will completely return to the cloud.
Seeing the visions displayed by the saints, the orphans gathered nearby after hearing the news were shocked at this moment, and they couldn't help but knelt down and bowed to the rare miracle.
When the world has fallen into complete darkness, when there is no hope at all in the world, the display of such miracles will undoubtedly inspire the hearts of the numb and desperate people, and even dispel the haze that caused food shortages for days. Everyone prayed to that beam of light.
After the saints had completely left and the traces of the light beam gradually dissipated, the orphans who were very curious about Sania surrounded them and pulled her to ask questions. Sania was still a little embarrassed at first, not knowing what to do. The question of who to answer first, but when she held the pendant that Isaac gave her, a burst of courage seemed to surge in her heart.
As Isaac said to her at the end, when she picked up the pendant, she no longer felt alone, as if Isaac was still here and never left, and no difficulty could make her feel lonely. flinch.
"My name is Irene, what's your name?" A blond girl in common clothes took the initiative to hold Sania's hand and asked her enthusiastically.
"Sania." Sania replied, and then led by the girls, she entered the interior of the orphanage and began to get familiar with the new environment.
At the same time, Isaac, who was waiting for the light beam to lead him back to the clouds, opened his closed eyes suddenly, and what passed in his eyes was clearly vigilance and disbelief.
At this moment, Isaac felt an ominous aura enveloping him, and that aura made Isaac's hair stand on end, and he couldn't help trembling all over his body. Even if he just felt that aura, Isaac felt that he could hardly breathe.
There are very few auras that can deter the saints who are about to succeed the Holy Judgment Angel, but that aura managed to do so. The beam of light was broken by the master of the aura, and Isaac was intercepted in the air, blocking his attack. way to go.
Isaac looked up, but saw the demon king holding the supreme sword, spread out the black six wings, and lay between him and the path back to the cloud, almost completely engulfing the light above his head.
Before Isaac could react, he saw that the Demon King had stretched out his hand and was grabbing straight at him.
