Chapter 216: The Fifth King of Angels

Gods walked upon the earth, not the astral world… At the beginning of the Fourth Epoch, in the era of the Solomon Empire, there was no boundary between myth and reality? The gods walked directly upon the earth and had no need to descend?

That resembles what the City of Silver’s records say about the Second Epoch. Places like the Giant King’s Court were separated from the real world by only a single door. One could pass through if they wished, and return if they wished. Gods and mortals mingled together in chaos and darkness… Also, the astral world really does correspond to the gods… Hearing Viscount Mobet Zoroast’s description, Klein instantly made several associations.

He subconsciously swept a glance over Groselle, because this giant was very likely someone who had personally lived through part of the Second Epoch’s history!

Groselle picked up a cup even more exaggerated than a wooden bucket and gulped down a mouthful of melted snow water. He laughed loudly.

“Mobet, isn’t that completely normal? Why are you being so serious?”

“I don’t know why I’m being so serious either.” Mobet Zoroast gradually revealed a smile. “Haha. To us, it’s something ordinary, but in their eyes, it may be terrifying and hard to believe. I have to use an appropriate expression to tell it if I want the right effect. Do you still remember Longzel’s expression the first time he heard us tell those stories? He looked as if he wanted to kneel and confess to the Lord of Storms.”

“…” For a moment, Klein, Danitz, and the others did not know what expression or words they should use in response.

Anderson leaned slightly toward Gehrman Sparrow and lowered his voice.

“I feel like he has the talent of a Provoker.”

He seemed to have controlled his volume, but in truth, everyone present could hear his words.

Mobet did not mind. He laughed twice and continued with the earlier topic.

“I know you don’t quite believe that gods walked the earth. It’s hard to accept, just like it was for Edwina before. Heh heh, I can give two examples. The Abyss of Storms on Pasu Island and the Deep Dark Heaven in the Amanda mountain range are the divine kingdoms of the Lord of Storms and the Evernight Goddess, respectively. They are divine kingdoms located on the earth, divine kingdoms separated from the real world by only an illusory door!”

Pasu Island? Isn’t that where the Church of Storms’ current holy altar is located? The Amanda mountain range… Amanda means “tranquil” in Hermes. Does this refer to the holy cathedral, the Cathedral of Serenity? When gods no longer walked the earth, did Their kingdoms become the headquarters of Their respective Churches? Klein intuitively believed Mobet Zoroast was not lying and made certain judgments based on it.

Danitz, meanwhile, listened in bewilderment and fear. He instinctively wanted to avoid the subject, but after looking at his focused and serious captain, at the pensive Gehrman Sparrow, and at Anderson Hood, whose face practically had the words “I am very interested” written all over it, he could only force himself to endure. Uneasily, he searched for a more comfortable sitting position.

Just then, the elven singer Siatas, who had been keeping watch, walked in and said disdainfully, “Do not mention that false god. The authority of storms belongs only to the king of us elves!”

Her voice was clear and beautiful, but her tone was filled with anger and impatience, as though she might raise both hands at any moment and shoot Mobet Zoroast with an arrow.

“All right. I will use ‘false god’ as the substitute.” Mobet lifted a hand and stroked his pointed, hard black hat.

Siatas withdrew her gaze and said to the shallow believer of the Lord of Storms, the former Loen soldier Longzel Edwards, “Your turn!”

Longzel slowly raised his head, his expression still holding a trace of bewilderment.

He seemed not to have noticed the earlier conversation and argument. He pulled out the iron-black…
