112. One third (no protagonist)
"I think it's the biggest mistake we have made today that Naga, who is most likely the key figure in the prophecy of the Chief Bishop of Truth, is the most likely mistake we have made."
Now it is the tenth minute of inviting Talos to join the Illuminati. The location is a wasteland - the place agreed by members of the Illuminati and the four elements messengers in advance - but the only characters are bald, two short and fat mages, and Norman, a high-level bloodline knight who has just obtained enlightenment of truth.
The bald mage was obviously resentful of the fact that he had not used violent means to subdue Naga and brought him here together. In his opinion, only in this way can he accomplish the task assigned to them by the Chief Bishop of Truth and take the cause of Truth to a further success.
What's more, whether it's a uniform Naga or a short-distance space trip with three people, it's as simple as eating and drinking water for a great wizard who is proficient in the space faction.
Unfortunately, Barty had an eye of truth in his left eye, which was a symbol of power and rank in the Light Society, meaning that his strong claims could be easily rejected, which was verified a few minutes ago.
Now, the only thing the bald mage can do is to place Norman aside and then go to Bati to make simple mutters and complains, clarify his attitude - once the four elemental messengers expressed dissatisfaction with this, he would never take the initiative to take responsibility.
"Your concern is totally redundant, Thomas, and that's why the Fire Messenger finally chose to hand over the Eye of True Knowledge to me instead of you."
Bati looked indifferent to this, and while sneering loudly, he turned around and asked, "What do you think of the potential of that Naga named Talos?"
"Hmph, the boring question, the obvious answer is definitely above the two of us." The bald mage answered without thinking.
As a senior member of the Illuminati Society, he knew very well what it means to listen to "The Enlightenment of Truth" many times to achieve awakening, potential, and unparalleled potential. This is also the fundamental reason why he advocated using violent means to take away Talos' uniform after Talos politely declined the invitation.
The short and fat mage nodded and continued to ask in a casual tone: "The second question is, who is the last person in the Light Society who needs to listen to "The Enlightenment of Truth" many times before he is awakened?"
"His Majesty White Queen, I have received the glory of truth from the holy land after listening to the complete four movements of the Sonata of Truth." Speaking of this, the bald mage seemed a little excited, and the complaint escalated into blame. "That Naga is likely to reach the same height as His Majesty White Queen in the future. I must have been crazy just now and did not refute your absurd decision."
"On the contrary, this is the problem, Thomas, you only see the potential of that Naga and the heights that may be reached in the future, and I-" the chubby mage ignored the accusations of the bald companion and pointed at his head with a strong hair, "see something deeper."
"Tell me then." The bald mage snorted.
"Norman just provided us with very valuable information. Talos was promoted to the second-level blood knight in the first year of entering the Bloodline Realm. In addition, after listening to "The Enlightenment of Truth" twice, he showed no sign of awakening and was always in a semi-awakened state. Yes, a promising member, you and I admit this. I dare say that it won't take long for him to ascend to the position of [Sword] that has been hanging in the air since the last Void War!"
The meaning of the sword is very familiar to the Bald Master. It is an equal rank with the four elements, second only to the two Majesties and the Chief Bishop of Truth.
One of the basic conditions for obtaining the title of Sword is that he has the strength of the fifth level of bronze. When converted to Talos, whose profession is a bloodline knight, is an epic knight.
"You just saw it. After listening to "The Enlightenment of Truth" twice, the third and fourth movements of "The Sonata of Truth" are not something we can play. The four elements messengers went to the Church of Wealth to grab the Crown of Frost. The goal is too big and may not be able to come here to meet us smoothly, and they cannot preside over the awakening ceremony in person."
"In that case, why do we have to force a semi-awakened person who has not yet awakened and does not trust the Light Society by his side? And to be honest, his strength is too weak now. If the Church of the Gods detects it, such losses are not something you and I can bear..."
"But it's also better than throwing a 'key person' on the main material plane!"
"No, no, there will be a great wizard who will protect him secretly."
Before more disputes occurred, Barty's left eye suddenly widened, and a scarlet inverted five-pointed star pattern appeared in his pupils, and a magical aura was cast from it, dispersing and turning into a wisp of mist, and a very short man appeared in the mist.
To be precise, it was a dwarf.
The other party was short and sturdy, with a large and chaotic beard of a male dwarf, so his whole face looked fluffy, holding a magic wand that was almost the same height as him (4 feet).
"How was the Truth Enlightenment in Berty, Bolingham?"
"Master Flame Messenger, successfully completed it, and found a new member who had obtained enlightenment. However, in Bolingham, we found another Naga who had listened to "The Enlightenment of Truth" twice in a row but had not awakened. He is currently unable to understand the true meaning of the glory of the truth, so he seems very resistant to our behavior and methods..."
Bati quickly reported the situation of Talos and how to deal with it to the Flame Messenger, and then waited for instructions with the bald mage.
"Thomas, I remember that you are proficient in transfiguration and are the most suitable candidate. From now on, you will temporarily stay in the main material plane to supervise Talos. If the church forces intervene, remember to protect him secretly. Because of the early exposure of the Knight Hans, the Church of the Gods has become alert. We need to quickly return to the Black Star with the Frost Crown, and have no extra time to stay in Seines."
"Yes, Lord Messenger." Master Bald Ding knew who the great master was mentioned by Bati just now.
"Batty, now you set out to the Kingdom of Cainya in the Southern Andes, where the Knight Hans and others will meet with you and bring him back to the Black Star with the new members. And you, there is a very important task here, to go overseas to find a black dragon called Marcas."
"Yes, Lord Messenger." Barty nodded, waiting for the next order.
"The frost crown in the hands of the Church of Wealth is not complete. According to the latest news, the Black Dragon Marcas holds one-third of the frost crown in his hands, which is the most critical third of the hidden one by Urban. You should understand what that means."
