Chapter 701: Nothing is meaningless (1) (1/2)
MEANWHILE ON ENGLAND
Antonius just returned from his trips and went back immediately to the Stonehenge.
Other people might have difficulties of trying to enter one of the forbidden zone of the world like the Stonehenge but since around six years ago, Erika had created a way for them to enter easily to forbidden zones.
He cancelled all of his other plans and task that was given to him by the Oracle. Because he could feel something is wrong.
The moment that he went out and saw the task he had to complete, he could feel that it is all reeks of the machination of the Oracle.
He might be dating the Oracle but even he does not understand what her eyes sees.
But while he could not understand her vision, he could understand some of her acts. Every year, there is a time where she would send him out. While Antonius did not know who she met during that time, Antonius is not an idiot.
It was probably Loki.
Erika sometimes underestimate people like him. He after all someone who went out from that forbidden zone and interact with the world while Erika remains waiting there for someone
While Loki is always at Pandemonium, that does not mean that the one in Pandemonium is the real one.
The Trickster is called the trickster for a reason.
It would be the easiest thing to do to disguise himself. Of course, this is just his speculation since he could not really confirm his suspicion. But he saw a serpent once and a raven once. That is Loki favorite animal familiar.
And every once in a while, she would talk about the trickster. While nothing she talks about him is in a positive note, he could feel that there is a trace of familiarity there.
Like the trickster, the Oracle have many secrets
Today, when he was in Egypt investigating one of the forbidden zone of the world, he saw the cloudless skies and saw the sword that comes down from the Heavens
He then knew why he was send out and that this year would be different. Now, he is certain who the Oracle has been waiting for.
And knowing who she is waiting for he could not help but feel fearful. If the one she is waiting for is Death Monarch, then this matter is very dangerous. Death Monarch is the strongest person in the whole world. That kind of reputation without a doubt made him fearful.
Anything that involves ”that person” would surely be something that is earthshaking.
Now, he understands why there is so many preparations that needs to be made.
This is four-year preparation in the making. He knows Erika must have considered all the possibilities but even then he could not be at ease.
And if that is the reason why she keeps meeting Loki, then he understands that there is a deep plot around this matter.
He did not know what they are discussing and what they are planning about but he had heard that the relationship between Loki and Death Monarch is not as strong as before.
He is fearful that Loki might drag Erika into the matters of Pandemonium. If this is true, this is not some small matter.
Trying to meddle with the matters of a Great Power is a taboo for many people.
No matter how vast the influence of the Oracle, could it compare to the influence of Pandemonium.
The Seven Warlords of Greece had always give respect to the Oracle.
But if those Seven Warlord were asked to offend Pandemonium for the Oracle, even they would not be brave enough to take up their arms against that sleeping dragon.
