"Due to the impending disaster, some weak points have already cracked, allowing the demon on your ship to arrive here ahead of schedule through the door. It also let a magician capture many souls from other planes, the so-called Outer Heaven Visitors, much like a Radiant Knight from seven hundred years ago, your captain is also not from this world. These Outer Heaven Visitors are unstable factors, variables related to the final outcome, you've been closely entwined with Liszt, sucked into the vortex long ago. Whether you want to extricate yourself or even just spend the night with a famous musician... you can't resist this torrent."
Marcus unraveling the mystery for Mika.
The core members of the Black Sail, except for Fen, only thought Liszt is an idiot, having manic disorder, quite amusing.
Now Mika also found Liszt's abstraction traceable, honestly, it's impossible to have no doubts after following Liszt running all over from the south to the north for these years, it's just that every time was extremely thrilling, so accepted Liszt's origin from the Far East, the place is said to be abstract and produces mentally ill people.
After Fen, Mika finally knew Liszt's true identity as a Cosmic Person from outer space.
"Oh shit..."
Mika holds her forehead, I don't want to hear it! Sometimes, Fen would also say some inexplicably strange things, like testing Liszt.
Take one time shortly after New Year, Mo Yutong kidnapped from the train was talking with Fen about issues only scholars understand, then Fen's mouth slipped words that were unheard of, Mo Yutong was quite tense at the time, watching Liszt's expression.
Now I know what exactly they were doing.
At the time, it was of no significance, because it's not unusual for Liszt this mentally ill to commit ridiculous acts, now recalling it, many details match, Mo Yutong isn't a local either.
No one else knows, Mika knows, Liszt is indeed the most mysterious person on the ship, more than Morison, the first encounter with Liszt was him being headshot by a heavy blade weapon, and never talked about any events prior to that, not even a word.
"Which magician? Someone from the Tower Alliance? The Tower Master?"
Mika asks.
"That person is not a member of the Warlock Council, there are many more who explore the ultimate beyond the tower. In the true prophecy, fate is also very vague, I have foreseen some future, this disaster will start from a magician. I once met Liszt in the museum at Dragon Stone Square in Aran Imperial City, because I was searching for this magician to prevent calamity, let everything go on the right track, but there are no clues, fate... very fuzzy, for now, it's locked on the magician who summoned Liszt and others to this world eleven years ago."
Marcus dedicating his remaining life to serving the Dragon Lord to cleanse his past sins, seems to prove his devotion, resurrected after death, Zote is dead, the Old Aran Witch Hunting Secret Place has completely vanished, wish fulfilled, he is the purest unadulterated substitute executing the true prophecy.
The rapid whistling of the train and the jolting vibrations numb Mika even further.
"Haywood, king's device... which is the Netherworld Stele, you already know..."
Mika's expression turned solemn.
"Yes, I have mastered a lot of past events and some future events."
"Where is Haywood now?"
"Haywood?"
"The demon you spoke of..."
"I'm just a substitute, not a great being, I don't know where he is. But based on everything I have grasped, the speculation I have made, he should be gathering information about this world, perhaps in Gureg, maybe in Pedan or the Extreme North, meeting up with his kin."
"Kin?"
Mika suddenly understood, Haywood was discovered by Liszt on a deserted island, and these years he still never let him go out freely, Carrie's existence has already proved there's more than just Haywood in the Demon Clan, damn Marcus, you are indeed a fucking ultimate divine charlatan, I am almost tempted to believe in the Dragon Lord.
"Though the great calamity hasn't arrived yet, chaos has slowly started. Many ancient organizations will also become active."
"I see, so... are we going to save the world? A crucial part, like, heroes chosen by the Dragon Lord! Fired up!"
Listening to Marcus's lengthy oration, Mika began to feel invigorated, isn't there such a setting, after all, as long as you go to save the world, there's definitely a sincere loving woman, Mika really needs this.
Marcus gave Mika an incredulous glance, did I say anything like that, why would he think that way?
In fact, what Marcus meant by an indispensable part, is reminiscent of after Aran's conquest, the so-called pearl, northern and southern pearls truly are numerous, in the Great Wetland that damn comprador government Murphys Benevolent King only taxes, no matter how much poison is transported every year to plague Aran people, still counts as a pearl.
"You can interpret it that way too, according to the Dragon Lord's will, letting the world correct to the right track is something everyone should do."
Marcus thinks it's a good thing if someone like Mika can reform to serve the Dragon Lord, especially he was under the control of Mad Desire Demon God, more proof that the Dragon Lord's grace can purify all evil force.
"I am... the hero chosen by the God."
Mika, with Dark Demon Scripture tattooed on him, still can't prevent his heart yearning for truth, goodness, beauty, fired up, never thought he was the protagonist-like existence.
"You should gradually break away from Calirabos's control, also keep your distance from Mulong National Religion, Holy True God Church, and especially Holy Spirit Sect, those impure forces mustn't be touched."
Marcus says.
"This..."
Mika thought for quite a while, because Marcus's grand narrative combo is so damn amazing, like a prophet, almost ensnaring him.
The correct track led by the Dragon Lord...
Quickly Mika regained rationality, this damn rotten world doesn't have so many good things, was his wishful thinking, the so-called indispensable part, if you dig deeper into its meaning, standing on Marcus's standpoint, is a piece in a play directed by him according to a predetermined script, goddamn hero.
But at least understood the logic behind this enigmatic prophet's actions now, didn't expect Liszt's acquisition backed by such business, magician search, the Northern Prison riot eleven years ago, finally makes sense.
When crossing the border, Marcus helped him smooth things over, also lent a hand to the Black Sail, what prophecy is secondary, mainly because there's a common enemy, a magician in the Alan Royal Court, Mika guessed the Alan Court because he has ties with the Northern Prison.
His medical skills all came from Northern Prison's project results, from previous exchanges with family teachers, also knows many magicians in the Alan Royal Court also conduct research in the big prison.
Now everything makes sense, all of it, the puzzles accumulated over these years have been unraveled.
Marcus now indeed possesses some divinity, but he's not omniscient, Mika has key questions still to ask.
"Last year in secret port of Londen City, were you chasing Fafna?"
"Fafna?"
"The dragon you pursued at that time."
"Oh... you gave it such a name."
"What kind of dragon is she?"
"This question... must be answered in Ancient Divine Continent, the Fafna you spoke of is Aran Court Mage Eustace's research material, later stolen by anti-imperialist forces united with multiple factions, Zahak ordered to retrieve the national property, I am to take it back to the church for disposal."
About magicians creating Flying Dragons in the Ancient Era, desecration against the Dragon Lord, these stories are too long, Marcus omitted them, only added: "As for how Eustace obtained it, relates to the Gate of Truth, this Black Magic Association, violating ancient alliance in Ancient Divine Continent and Western Continent smuggling."
Mika found it more and more sinister listening, Gate of Truth? Just from merging the adventurer's guild newspaper's report about profitability, this organization regularly aligns with Thief Guild, Evgeny Consortium, Narrow Sea Convention Organization, ranks among the black society's Four Heavenly Kings.
Again linked with Ancient Divine Continent, Liszt now has quite a lot happening, already tangled with Diaz and Giant Whale Guest, if he doesn't manage carefully, surely going to become history.
After conversations with Marcus, Mika only concludes one thing, if heaven falls there are tall ones to hold it, dating Qili is more important, these things have no relation to him, just continue mixing up with Black Society honestly, Marcus told him this also because he and Liszt now have common interests.
When one day interests diverge, Marcus is quite powerful now, can even pause time, if interests diverge in the future, also must be cautious, damn don't speak ill of the Dragon Lord, is the Elder Lord truly in heaven, not dead yet?
During the chat with Marcus, the bloody fourth round of Continent Martial Arts Competition also becomes fiercer by the moment, starting the final round of thirty-two into sixteen, deciding tomorrow's Stargazing Festival final sixteen.
"After two more stops, I will leave, next, you will be unimpeded, but the distance from the platform to the arena still unknown what might happen, good luck."
Marcus's urgent need is to eradicate the current sect's reactionary forces, these people are deeply rooted, not things that can be solved in a short period, nor can be disclosed to the public, the matter of the Enchanting Demon also has to be kept secret.
Getting closer to Rashomon, Mika feels the pressure mounting.
"Don't worry, AIBO, I will definitely win over Qili!"
Mika filled with determination.
Marcus: "..."
