"Reinhard, I have a question for you is it cool if I ask." After my little thinking cap session I decide to just ask directly instead of worrying about it.
After a few seconds of silence I notice Reinhard raise his eyes at me, just before giving me a little nod.
"So what's it like in the Diutisc? " I say as I sit up straight. It helps me listen better.
"Diutisc is a very special place , led by the great ruler Otto III. It is a great place in general, it has everything a man may need to survive. Slaves, food , water and women. Truly a place worthy of God's blessing." Reinhards voice was filled with reverence. A sickening amount of it.
I wasn't truly surprised by the exist of such a culture. I'm in 9th century Europe. I heard what I wanted to, I have to speak with Otto. However before I could even think about that plan I had something else to focus on.
"Reinhard, have you ever interacted with God or his angels?" This should clear up any air that I have, because if we have Swedish mythos here and also Christianity. I believe that it's okay to believe all of the others exist too.
"I am not yet at the cardinals level yet, so I can't have a conversation with God even if I tried. However I have met one of his angels. She recruited me herself. I don't think I was ready to be made into a Crusader but for her I'll do about anything." Hearing Reinhard talk about meeting with Angels really , I mean really made things clear for me.
"So what you're saying is that God actually exists." I couldn't hold back my laughter after finishing my sentence. It was like a bombshell except it wasn't a reality breaker if anything it gave me a whole new perspective.
Reinhard didn't even seem to register my laugh as he was still swooning to himself about the Angel.
After a few moments of laughter I got serious again. This might be really bad. Demons, country destroying Dragon's(which is have to find), relics , God's who are out there fucking cows and would gladly take my ass. This adds a whole new dimension to how fucked I am.
It also means my trip to Norway wouldn't have been a waste. Hopefully they would have interacted with me.
After waiting for Reinhard to stop swooning which surprisingly wasn't too long, I asked him a different question. One that could determine whether it would be easy or not to do my thing.
"How do people fight in the empire? It's a bit weird to me to notice so many close range fighters here." I Said, honestly hoping God hadn't suped them up with magic or relics or whatever else he had.
And fuck me did he do it all.
"Well most Crusaders are apparently directly chosen by God. He gives whom he believes will follow him best what we call a sacred gear. Which is as I have mentioned a gift from God that we can activate in exchange for helping protect his people of the Holy Roman Empire. Besides that we also have Holy magic and weaponry. Holy magic is a bit rare though.". Reinhard explained however that left me with more questions than answers. Why can't God fight his enemies himself and why does it seem like only the Holy Roman Empire is his area of protection.
As I looked into Reinhards eyes, they still had that dead look however it seemed to have a bit of a shine in it. A golden light hanging beside his pupil.
"Do you eyes always shine like that when you talk about God Reinhard?" This would probably be my final question but just as I asked the light disappeared. Which could mean 1 of 2 things.
Reinhard was recording me, or God was watching me through his eyes and I had hoped it would be the former. I cannot go ahead and fight Mister "Universe creator" himself.
"Huh what're you talking about?" Reinhard answered bringing his hand to his eye and wiping off a tear that had just fell.
"Nevermind I guess I was just seeing things." I say before sitting back listlessly in my chair. As I laid I was revising my list of priorities. Instead of wanting to meet the cardinal I wanted out of here as fast as possible.
New list
A. Get the fuck outta Europe.
B. Find a way to hide from Mister omnipresent God himself.
C. Get myself ready to fight anybody and any-.
*BUGHH*
I feel an impact slam into the side of front of my carriage flipping me and Reinhards carriage over I immediately activated Ratio and storm blade to blast a hole through the top side of the flipped over carriage.
I didn't even try to poke my head out I just spawned HP which flew me directly out and onto the dirt path.
"Ay, what the hell is happening." I say as I try to find the other carriage, but all I see is us surrounded. 12 or 13 people around me and also two very very, not biblical looking Angels floating above. Which is very, very not good. I even say the four guys who brought me here just chilling.
Cierra was just as confused as me. Tetanus did not have a lick of curiosity on him , his weapon already drawn . Unfortunately in my direction. Same with the others Serenity had a blue bow on her.
"Your death has been ordered by the Lord for laughing while in thought of him. " He said in very matter of fact way before he freaking blitzed and damn near punched a whole through my side.
It didn't matter however because he was slower than the fastest I've seen HP move. As he was about to punch me HP had already moved me out of the way. How I didn't blow up at these speeds I dunno.
Watching his expressionlessness as he missed kind of turned me off. I had found a very cool way to not get killed by people faster than me and that was by having HP just move me instead of moving myself . I had pretty good dynamic vision by now and no signs of nausea at speeds that break the sound barrier . So I would say I'm pretty good in this regard.
"Castiel he's a fast one. Armament up." I hear him say and just as fast I watch them gain a set of armour like the ones from that movie, Knights of the Zodiac. Clearly they weren't from the zodiac though.
"Its going to take way more than that." I say as I summon out Buidhe and my shield saw. I was kind of hoping for a fight actually. Its just so thrilling to be able to take out my stress on my aggressors.
It.
Is.
Freeing.
