"So you're the Cardinal of Ishta?

"Illemant, I'm not a cardinal now, but I'd prefer you to call me Coughren. After recounting his legendary story, Coughren felt a lot more relaxed as if he had been lifted from a heavy burden.

When he became a cardinal, he deeply understood the profound truth that "there is no free lunch in the world", and it turned out that everything he gained at the open day of the Holy Mountain came from the fact that he was selected to complete a plan. Whether it's the Eye of Light pendant, the oracle inheritance, or even the secret note made of the Five Treasures Glare Paper, it's just an "advance payment" for him to successfully complete that plan.

In fact, after the initial excitement passed, the endless pressure that followed was constantly eating away at Element. After all, a cardinal archbishop who was only eighteen years old could not be convinced by anyone, not even Elemente himself, who felt that he had no ability to convince the public.

Fortunately, at that time, "His Majesty Gyllenhaal" was very authoritative, and the entire Holy See said that it was the same, so it issued the decree under great pressure. What followed was a dark day for Eliment, who was imprisoned in the prayer tower for ten years in order to "live up to his name".

Now he doesn't want to remember that time, during which the Pope conducted a special training for him, and it took him a full decade to barely become a true cardinal archbishop who could stand alone. He was then ordered by the Pope to travel throughout the continent of Eliad, and after more than a hundred years, when he returned to the Holy Mountain, the Pope sent him to the imperial capital of Catania, where he became the supreme leader of the Imperial Branch of the Holy See.

Nothing was more painful for Illement than the oracle that had given him a great surprise, and with the augmentation of the Eye of Light pendant, the oracle was always at work, guiding him on the right path. However, what Elemment had been unable to understand was what would ultimately be the consequences of carrying out that so-called plan, and the supposedly omnipotent oracle had no hint of this. This has to be said to be a kind of ordeal for Eliment.

According to the oracle's prophecy, if he wanted to successfully complete this plan, he had to wait for an opportunity, a chance to regain the light of day, and when that day came, he could tell the person who made the secret note see the light of day how he became the cardinal, and then he could be truly liberated after completing the last thing about him in the plan.

It is precisely because of this that after the change in the small town of Flossaken, his keen intuition led him to perform the oracle again, and when he learned from the oracle that this opportunity appeared in the dangerous Wickburg, he did not hesitate to "resign", and after handing over the position of cardinal to Cardinal Swell, he ran here under the alias "Coughren" to complete his last mission.

Another thing that Element didn't want to face was the fact that the part of the plan that belonged to him, which had also been reminded of him by the oracle since he became the cardinal, would also be completely completed in this adventure.

"Oh my God, I've been fighting alongside a cardinal of the Holy See!" cried Zambit in an exaggerated tone, not knowing what it was like. After all, from the perspective of historical origins, the alien races living in the Warcraft Forest are all persecuted by the Holy See, and they are mortal enemies of the Holy See.

However, after getting along with each other during this time, the great troll warrior felt that this old god stick was unexpectedly temperamental to him, except for the fact that this old god stick was a little godly chatter sometimes.

"What a shame! I never thought that Cardinal Ishta, who was under one person, turned out to be a coward who was greedy for life and afraid of death. Alfie sarcastically said mercilessly. Judging from Coughren's account, he simply did not have any self-consciousness as a cardinal archbishop.

"I was supposed to be ducked to the shelves. What kind of cardinal archbishop was forcibled to me by His Majesty the Pope!" Kauflon explained with a bit of confusion.

"I'm not talking about how you behave in that story of yours. It's here, the ugliness of facing His Excellency the Clown!" Alfie pointed at Coughren and said, "Think about your identity, after all, you are the Cardinal Archbishop!Even if it is not a Sanctuary, it is too embarrassing to behave in the face of a strong enemy!"

"Hehe, that's because you don't understand, you don't understand!" Coughren smiled tolerantly in the face of Alfie's fierce accusation. In the eyes of those who don't know the inside story, his performance is indeed cowardly, but his mission is by no means to fight the clown, but to stay at the most critical moment. The whole plan was secretly formulated by the Holy See's successive popes, and he had no reason to leak it.

"I'll just ask you what Vincent is going to do?" Alfie asked, pointing beyond the invisible transparent barrier created by the Joker. The difference in the speed of time allowed Coughren to recount his experience at length, but the smoke outside the wall had not yet cleared, and the fate of Syrent, Katie, and Us, who were in the center of the explosion, were still unknown.

Alfie was furious that Coughren must have foreseen this great threat through oracle magic, but the hateful old god didn't even give a warning.

"This- that's not my problem. Seeing Alfie's murderous gaze, Coughren quickly explained: "That paladin must have some secret treasure that can interfere with my oracle technique, I can't predict everything about him through oracle magic, in fact, not only him, but also your future!"

Coughren was finally able to ask the question that had been buried in his heart for a long time. Whenever he tried to cast an oracle spell on Alfie and Celent, there was always an inexplicable interference that made his oracle fail.

Fortunately, Celent said that Coughlon could vaguely predict his safety through the increase of the Eye of Light - for example, he predicted that Celent would be in danger this time through the oracle, so he did not warn Celent, and for Elphie, even with the increase of the Eye of Light, the oracle still did not work for him at all.

There are only two explanations for this, one is that Alfie is a descendant of a certain main god, with divine powers and far more than Coughren, so the oracle does not work for him - this is obviously impossible, the Pope has told Coughren that he is the only person who has a divine descent constitution in 2,000 years, or Alfie has some great treasure on him, at least above the level of the Eye of Light, so that it is possible to invalidate the oracle.
