1065 Cosmos Wanderer (2/2)
No, ultimately, the six deities came to an agreement. Hence, the Black Emperor perished, establishing the Tudor- Trunsoest United Empire... Leonard recalled Pallez Zoroast's mention of this particular phase of history and, for a baffling reason, felt how history was filled with vicissitudes.
At that moment, Mobet turned his head and looked at him.
”Do you have cigarettes?
”These little devils that came out from the True Creator's believers aren't bad at all.”
Leonard immediately controlled the dream and conjured a cigarette before handing it over.
”Is this an improved version?” Mobet stretched out his right hand and snaked out a ball of fire from the kitchen behind the bar. He lit the cigarette and took a deep breath.
Seeing smoke coming out of his nostrils, Leonard asked curiously, ”The True Creator's believers like to smoke?”
”That's right. Even Lord Medici would occasionally smoke a few sticks. Although it's just a habit for 'Him,'” Mobet answered without hiding anything.
Leonard nodded and asked, ”Which deity do you believe in?”
”Of course, it's His Majesty. All the aristocrats in the Empire believe in His Majesty. Uh, other than Lords Medici and Ouroboros. They believe in the True Creator. Also, Duke Bethel Abraham might just be faking it. According to what I know, 'He' only believes in 'Himself,'” Mobet quipped.
Bethel Abraham... A thought came to Klein. He was about to signal Leonard to ask further when he heard the poet ask, ”Is Duke Bethel Abraham very powerful?”
Clearly, the completely different behavior compared to the other aristocratic families in the Empire made this ancestor of the Abraham family stand out.
Very powerful. Even Lord Medici and Ouroboros are afraid of 'Him,'” Mobet said as he puffed out smoke rings. ”In the warring era, 'He' was publicly acknowledged as one of the angels most likely to become a deity.”
”Warring era?” Leonard asked curiously.
Mobet looked at the slowly burning cigarette in his hand and said, ”This isn't thrilling enough. Heh heh. The warring era refers to the time after the Cataclysm ended to the point when the Empire was established. It lasted about 112 years. Our Zoroast family's first angel perished in the warring era. Thankfully, we were helped by His Majesty before 'He' became a god; thus, we didn't lose the Beyonder characteristic.”
”Who did it?” Leonard immediately asked.
Mobet shook his head.
”I'm not Sequence 4 yet, so there are many things I'm not qualified to know.
”Let's talk about Duke Bethel Abraham; I actually don't really know much about 'Him,' but I was very interested in their family and the Beyonder pathway they control. It's said that the Apprentice can wander the cosmos once they reach Sequence 2. Uh, there are also rumors that it's at Sequence 3.”
Cosmos? Klein's pupils dilated slightly as he became more focused.
At this moment, Mobet continued, They left behind lots of information regarding the cosmos, recording many interesting things. Unfortunately, I never managed to borrow them. However, I heard of the three laws that they concluded for wandering the cosmos:
”First, don't respond to any calls. Second, don't be reckless and approach unknown creatures or buildings. Third, endure loneliness.”
It sounds like the cosmos is vast and dangerous... I wonder if the current Abraham family still has the travel notes related to the cosmos. I'll get Miss Magician to ask in the future... When Klein's gaze swept over, it happened to cross with Miss Justice's gaze that was directed at him. They immediately realized that the other party had also thought of Miss Magician.
Leonard did the same. He nodded slightly and asked about other matters.
During this process, the dream changed with Mobet's memories. Following that, they saw the appearances of Medici, Ouroboros, and other high-level figures.
Of course, as Mobet had few interactions with the Black Emperor and Bethel Abraham and didn't dare to look at 'Them' head-on, his impression of 'Them' was a blur.
Towards the end, Audrey grabbed both Klein's and Leonard's arms and jumped into Siatas's dream.
This Elven Songster was standing in the garden holding her stomach and frowning at Mobet.
”Can you steal the fetus in my stomach and stuff it into your body?”
”It can be done, but even if it's stuffed into my body, I won't be able to give birth to him,” Mobet replied fearfully.
Siatas thought seriously and said, ”Then steal the corresponding organs that are needed?”
”...If it's just the simple act of theft, then it might still succeed. But for what f-follows after, I'll be at my wit's end. This is beyond my capabilities...” Mobet said nervously.
The conversation between the human and elf left the trio dumbfounded.
After a few seconds, Audrey suggested, ”...Why don't I do it this time?”
