Chapter 105
The warm fireplace is burning, and the crackling sound of charcoal bursting occasionally creates a warm atmosphere in the dark room.
Warlock was leaning on the sofa with his coffee cup in his arms, drinking coffee one after another. At this time, the coffee was not for entertainment, but for refreshment. Several stacks of documents on the coffee table proved that Warlock was still working.
Oswald looked at the data comparison and said: "The Copperpot family has already typed out the manifesto, and the two radio stations and three media outlets under their name will support you around the clock, plus a pale knight, your public opinion call The strength is definitely higher than others."
The Cobblepot family had always stood behind Warlock with a clear banner. After Warlock allowed Oswald to release the Riddler on bail, he paid more attention to it. He paid more attention to the approval rate than Warlock.
"It's been hard work for you lately, I'm not a native of Gotham is a very big flaw. The 'criminal license' you submitted is a good way to transition, but it's a bit sensitive and can't be taken until the mayoral election dust settles Come out and discuss."
Oswald's smile is always a little nervous, but this is his sincere joy, "I'm not in a hurry, your campaign is the most important thing now. Now you and Harvey Dent's popularity ratings are very high, Anything is possible until the end, we have to stabilize the number of voters who intend to vote for you now."
"And..." Oswald glanced at Warlock's expression, he didn't know if what he said next would cause Warlock's displeasure, but they had to be vigilant.
"Bruce Wayne keeps saying that he will support you. The Wayne Group is still in contact with Harvey Dent. We have to be vigilant to avoid Wayne's betrayal!"
The more Oswald said, the more excited he became. He is just a friend of Warlock, and he is willing to devote all his resources to support Warlock. Bruce Wayne, as Warlock's lover, is secretly contacting Warlock's rival. In Oswald's eyes, there is the most naked betrayal.
"Don't get excited, Oswald." Warlock looked very calm, with no fluctuations in his expression or eyes, his mood was as calm as his expression.
"The Wayne Group is not owned by Bruce alone. He cannot fully grasp the actions of the Wayne Group. As far as I know, there are big differences within the Wayne Group. Some high-level officials insist on supporting Prosecutor Dante, and some people follow Bruce. Willing to support me, even Sionnis has bought a lot of people from the Wayne Group, you can't be too harsh on Bruce."
Warlock gave a seemingly impeccable reason. In fact, his support for the Wayne Group seemed to be in the mirror.
Bruce will vote for Warlock with his vote, but he will not order the Wayne Group to give him all resources like Oswald.
Batman's sanity always prevails when it comes to Gotham.Batman is a pessimistic idealist, never afraid to estimate everything with the worst outcome.
In terms of political philosophy, Warlock and Harvey Dent stand on the same starting line, both wanting to make Gotham better.
However, Warlock is more dangerous and uncontrollable than Harvey Dent. Harvey Dent is just an ordinary human being. Even if he goes astray one day, Batman can keep the damage to a minimum.And Warlock, once he loses control, Batman doesn't know how to control him.
with love?Love is the most ethereal power. When love exists, it can conquer everything. After love disappears, it is worthless.
Warlock has the inherent love of the new and dislike of the old in Warlock's nature. Batman can't be sure how long Warlock's love for Bruce can last. It is impossible for him to use such subjective emotions to deal with the uncontrollable future.
Gotham may have been just a playground to Warlock, a by-product of Batman, but to Batman it was the pillar of his faith.
Warlock knew Batman, and knew that Batman's trust and precaution did not conflict.Especially Batman doesn't even trust himself, how can he be forced to trust a powerful demon who acts recklessly?
In some sense, Batman's wariness is a testament to the importance he attaches to Warlock, who is no longer angry with the twisted, twine-like Batman.
"Prosecutor Dante and Mr. Siennis have scheduled speeches on Saturday and Sunday respectively, and you can choose the remaining days at will. In addition, your approval rating has increased by 2.3 percentage points after Mr. Wayne's interview was released."
Angelina sat on a separate small sofa to report the situation. Since Warlock's artificial intelligence took over the work of data analysis, her work has become much easier, and she spends more time in contact with officials of various departments, the media, and various guilds , to get more votes for Warlock.
"Bruce can still lead a group of people. I am satisfied that he can do this."
In fact, Warlock did not expect Bruce to support him publicly at all. Bruce has a wonderful appeal in Gotham. This power may not be as influential as the Wayne Group's resources, but it is still considerable.
"Arrange my speech on Friday, and the dinner at the Iceberg Restaurant?"
Warlock picked a day, and then turned to look at Oswald. Oswald got up and gave a non-standard salute, and limped away with a cane. Get ready for Warlock's reunion.
"It's getting late, I should go after packing up the files." Angelina said while helping Warlock organize the files on the table.
Just as Warlock was about to agree, he caught sight of the bookcase in the study room emitting a halo of light. He remembered that there were books taken out of hell in that cabinet, so how could it not be flashing white light.
"I'll ask the housekeeper to sort out these documents. You should go back quickly. Gotham is not safe at night. Go back early and feel at ease."
After sending Angelina away, Warlock activated the protective barrier, walked into the study vigilantly, and slowly approached the bookcase that was still shining with white light.
It wasn't any book from hell that flashed white light, but "The Witch Agnes Nutter's Good Prophecy Collection" that should have been in the Aziraphale Bookstore in Yiqiao.
The moment Warlock approached, the prophecy set stopped flashing, and the gleaming white light did not dissipate, as if attracting Warlock to open it.
Before this book of prophecy, I found Warlock by myself. At that time, Mr. Aziraphale said that Warlock's strength was not enough to bear the past, present and future of this world.
Now he has grown enough to at least be able to withstand the impact of time, it just depends on whether he is willing to accept the established future.If he doesn't open this book, his future has infinite possibilities, but if he opens this book, his future will be restricted.
After hesitating for a few minutes, Warlock took out the "Witch Agnes Nat's Good Prophecy Collection", sat on the soft sofa and stroked the old cover, and finally made up his mind to turn the pages of the book.
According to Warlock's personality, he will not open this book. He is confident that the road he has embarked on will not be bad, but the people he pays attention to are not only himself, but also Bruce, adoptive parents, father Cain and two teachers. .
There have been a lot of riots in both the world and hell, which seems to indicate that something big is about to happen, even God and Lucifer have been implicated, if Warlock can see what is about to happen in the prophecy, maybe he can Take the stress off everyone.
The quaint parchment exudes a faint musty smell. Unlike the 11-year-old Warlock who can only read one or two lines and can't remember it after reading it, the current Warlock can completely write down the contents of a whole page .
"...The blood race who still doubted his decision in his heart turned over the page of fate. He could find what he wanted to know in the following lines of text, but he couldn't quickly understand what was about to happen... "
"...The blood race who couldn't concentrate on his career was losing ground in the competition, but it seemed that fate had always favored him. On the last night, an explosion completely changed the situation..."
"...the return of one friend symbolizes the departure of another, and the world celebrates the hero to come..."
"...The common enemy of darkness and light is watching you quietly behind you. There is no always right choice, and every mistake is accompanied by fire and blood..."
"...now, child, close this book and put it in a safe place. Beware of eyes and claws around you, death will not have you a second time..."
Focusing on the last sentence, Warlock suddenly turned into a bat and hid in the crack of the sofa. "The Witch Agnes Nutter's Prophecy Collection" fell on the carpet, and the white light that was originally shining disappeared, as if it was nothing ordinary of a book.
Too focused on reading the prophecy, Warlock ignored the surrounding environment, and the shudder that came to his heart just now let Warlock know that his apartment was not so safe.
He carefully hid in the gap of the sofa, listening to the voices in the room.He is confident that the barrier will not be easily destroyed. If someone tries to attack the barrier, he can react quickly. Now that the barrier is intact, it means that the enemy is inside the barrier.
The room was silent, except for the crackling of the coal fire in the fireplace. Warlock subconsciously abandoned his breathing and heartbeat, and his body temperature dropped to room temperature. After listening for a long time, he did not hear the sound of a second biological activity.
Warlock's gaze slowly moved to the fireplace, where the flames had reached an almost impossible height, forming a looming human figure.
The warm red flames were gradually stained with scorched black, exuding the sulfurous smell of hell, and a sturdy shofar demon stepped out of the flames, holding a flaming gun in his hand.
"Son of Cain, come out, I know you are here!"
The claw demon is very powerful. From his power and the dark aura flowing from his body, we can know that this is also a lord-level demon. His goal is very clear, that is to kill Warlock and get from him the part that belongs to the Lord of Hell. power.
The hell lord that Lucifer bestowed the territory enjoyed a golden period of construction and development for a hundred years, during which no demons could attack the new lord's territory.
When the new lord is in the territory, he will have a [-]-year immunity from war.But Volok is in the human world, not protected by the War-Free Period, and there will be countless demons willing to pay a small price to challenge him, kill him, and accept his territory and servants.
Warlock just waited quietly. He had a premonition that it wasn't the demon in front of him that made him feel dangerous just now.
