Amon?

Seeing this name, Angel also looked around suspiciously, his eyes flashing constantly, observing every corner through the various mirrors and glass in the whole building, looking for the shadow of the monocle made of crystal.

Fortunately, apart from Ribak who was carefully calculating accounts in the housekeeper's office while wearing glasses, and the plain decorative glasses presented by a certain lady on the table in her study, Angel did not see anything that would remind her of bad memories.

"I thought they were all gone."

Heaving a sigh of relief, Angel solemnly answered Arrodes's question, then frowned and asked:

"Why are you so concerned about the clone of 'Blasphemer'... did he sneak into Church of Steam and find you?"

She suddenly remembered that in the battle with Amon's clone that Klein recounted, the Amon who came to the door and parasitized "Winner" Enyouni E mentioned that he had tried to contact Magic Mirror and asked about Klein's "specialness", which seemed to have caused a lot of psychological shadow on Arrodes.

Sure enough, as soon as Angel finished speaking, the entire study lit up with a dazzling silvery light. A bolt of lightning appeared out of thin air and landed on the desk. It accurately hit Angel's Plano Glasses, electrocuting it to pieces. The mirror surface was burnt black, the metal was molten, and even a burning shallow pit appeared on the tabletop.

"Wait, Arrodes, you can't hurt other people!"

Angel hurriedly stopped the crazy Magic Mirror, extinguished the flames with cold air, and looked at the housekeeper's office on the second floor. He was relieved to see that Ribak was still wearing glasses and staring at the ledger, and did not turn into a ball of coke, or fall to the ground and twitch.

"Sorry, dear Mistress, I just thought I saw that hateful guy again..."

The silvery white electric light receded, and dim words gradually appeared on the full-length mirror. From these letters of different sizes and strokes Distortion, Angel could get a glimpse into the heart of the poor Magic Mirror who had post-traumatic stress disorder against Amon and his glasses.

After questioning, she confirmed that the Amon clone who met Klein was not lying. He had indeed sneaked into the Steam Church where Arrods was kept, and found this poor magic mirror that was not strictly protected because it was only a "Level 2" sealed object. He constantly activated it, stole its ideas, deceived the rules and repeatedly asked questions, or forced ideas that did not belong to it into it, in an attempt to obtain Klein's secrets.

"So, did you say it?"

After comforting the poor mirror, Angel asked curiously.

"Absolutely not! No matter how much he tortures me, I will never tell him!"

Words made up of fist-sized letters appeared on the full-length mirror, almost filling the entire mirror surface, but another line of small words appeared in the remaining space below:

"But Amon are proficient in Deception and Decryption. I'm not sure if he got any clues from my perfunctory answer."

Just from your willing-to-die attitude, Amon should be able to get a lot of useful information. Fortunately, these clues have been intercepted and prevented from being obtained by their bodies... Angel muttered, seeing the words on the mirror constantly shaking. Arrodes seemed to be falling into the same state as Madness, so he quickly changed the question:

"Do you know the specific information of 'Fountain of Youth'? I mean the one that can promote Demoness to Sequence 3, not the rumored spring water that makes people live forever Unaging."

With a swish sound, all the information related to Amon disappeared from the mirror, and the lines of Loenese with normal size and neat handwriting gradually appeared:

"Dear Mistress, the two 'Fountain of Youth' you mentioned are actually the same one. They both point to an island deep in the Fog Sea, but I cannot see the specific location. It has Anti-Divination derived from the power of Demoness. Unless my body leaves Church of Steam and goes to the Fog Sea, there is no way to lock it."

Angel Just after reading this piece of information, bright red and bloody words covered them one by one:

"So, Mistress, please take me away! Take me away from Backlund, wherever you go! Or intercede with the great master and ask him to help me leave from Church of Steam! That guy said he will come back!"

Exclamation marks filled the entire mirror, and the red halo added a strange color to the study room in the afternoon.

It's over, it seems that Arrodes is crazy... Angel looked at these dazzling red words wordlessly, and no longer trusted its previous answer. After all, in its current state, it is entirely possible that it deliberately concealed the secret of "Fountain of Youth", so that Angel or Klein could rescue it from Church of Steam.

"Arrodes, don't worry," Angel thought for a moment, then spoke to comfort, "Backlund's Amon clone has been solved by us, and there is no one left. This is information confirmed by... Goddess."

She did not disclose the role played by Pales Zoroaster in order to avoid the possibility that Arrodes had been parasitized by Amon. The person talking to her at this time was not Magic Mirror itself, but a certain Amon.

Fortunately, Arrodes didn't notice it. Only one word and a big question mark appeared on the full-length mirror:

"Really?"

"Of course, but I don't recommend that you leave Church of Steam at this time, because Amon's Avatar do have the possibility of returning to this city. Compared with the unknown outside world, the inside of the church is a safer place, and... you can try to show the dangers of Sealed Artifact higher than '2' level, such as erratically shocking Machinery Hivemind who asks questions, showing hostility towards other Sealed Artifact. This will allow them to upgrade you to a '1' level Sealed Artifact, lock you deeper underground, and adopt strict supervision measures.

"This is not only internal, but also external. In this way, even if Amon gathers Demigod level clones, they will not be able to easily contact you."

Angel smiled, showing both the "charm" of Demoness and the eloquence of Instigator.

"You are right! Tonight that Heart of Machinery Deacon who often asks me questions will come again and I will punish him severely!"

Arrodes seemed to be enlightened. The words that appeared on the mirror showed excited strokes, and the two exclamation marks were like silver-white lightning. Angel was a little frightened to see it.

It's not the guy named Ikanser it's talking about. I hope he has gained enough resistance to electricity after years of electric shocks... Angel muttered, and suddenly found that the mirror in front of him had returned to normal, and the Arrodes who was temporarily staying on it had left. He even forgot that Angel still owed it a problem.

This Magic Mirror probably won't be able to communicate normally in the short term... I want to remind Klein that it's best for him to comfort Arrodes, so as not to leave permanent trauma... Well, let him put away all the glasses at home in advance, especially the single-lens ones, to avoid unnecessary losses.

After putting away the glasses destroyed by Arrodes, Angel sighed, took one last look at his study, then got into Mirror World and left Backlund.

Due to the time difference and latitude, when Angel arrived at Bayam in the Rhoside Islands, this "City of Generosity" had already entered dusk, and the golden sunlight shrouded the city, giving this strip-shaped city along the coastline an expensive color.

Ha, it goes well with "Golden Queen"...

Angel chuckled, and did not immediately go to the "Red Haired Woman" that was staying in the port. Instead, he first came to Pelican Street's "Sea Water and Flame" bar and entered the small room belonging to "Lucky Nick" on the second floor.

Dominic, who has short black hair, is wearing a shirt and vest, and has his collar buttons unbuttoned, is sitting on a bench, leisurely waiting for business to come to him. A girl with long brown hair in a floral dress is sitting in the corner, playing Tarot Cards divination alone.

Neither of them noticed the figure reflected in the glass window behind them.

Hmm, is that Sonia? She was promoted to "Joker" a few months ago, and she is still performing divination anytime and anywhere. It seems that the habit formed by "Acting Method" is difficult to change... she just doesn't know what to pay attention to when playing "Joker".

Angel observed for a moment, and then Mirror World walked out and deliberately made a little noise.

The one who turned back first was Sonia. Her eyes lingered on Angel's undisguised face. She was shocked at the beauty of the visitor and was stunned for a moment, with a trace of fear in her eyes.

"It's on the wanted notice..."

"Shh, Sonia, don't be nervous, we are acquaintances... Have you forgotten, you have met her before at Backlund. She saved your life, although she was disguised at that time... and her appearance has changed a lot now."

Dominic also turned around, instantly recognized Angel, and quickly stopped the girl's exclamation.

But his eyes stayed on Angel for a long time. It wasn't until the latter snorted with dissatisfaction that he came back to his senses, invited Angel to sit down, instructed Sonia with his eyes to lock the door, and said uncomfortably:

"I didn't expect that just one year after I first met you, you have become Demigod, and you also own a Ghost Ship, and... well, a bounty of 450,000 pounds."

The bounty mentioned by "Judgment" Xio Derecha last time has finally been made public. Now my "worth" is second only to King of the Five Seas Nast and Queen Mystic Bernadette ranked third behind Pirate King... Hearing this amount, Angel himself was a little excited.

"You can try to earn this bounty," she said with an indifferent expression, making Dominic look away in embarrassment, then peeked back again, "How is the recent situation in the Rhoside Islands?"

"The resistance seems to have a wise leader. Their actions are more organized than before, and they are not persistent in attacking the well-defended Bayam. They do not carry out attacks on civilians. They only destroy railways and highways, cut submarine telegraph cables, and cause trouble for local colonial forces..."

Dominic once again broke away from Angel's beauty, used the action of drinking coffee to hide the changes in emotions and body, and briefly introduced the local situation.

"Therefore, the garrison of Bayam did not carry out the extreme sweep of the entire island as before. Instead, they focused on the pirates near the channel leading to the North Continent, and launched one naval battle after another with the pirates who wanted to make a final profit. Recently, the freight for goods shipped to Loen has doubled."

This may be related to the fact that the "Sea God" that the local rebels originally believed in became Mr. "Fool"... Angel nodded clearly, and was quite satisfied with the "increase in shipping costs" mentioned by Dominic.

She took advantage of the situation and inquired about the prices of various local specialty fruits, spices and fish. She found that these products, which were originally intended to be sold to the North Continent, were difficult to sell due to the increase in shipping costs. The prices were much lower than before, so she used the channel of Dominic to place orders. I bought some and prepared to have the "Red Haired Woman" shipped to Pritz Harbor, and then use Tussock River to go north to Backlund to add to my own Canned Food Factory.

But before that, she had to take this ship to the Fog Sea to look for traces of "Fountain of Youth".

"Fountain of Youth?" Sonia, whose brown hair was coiled behind her head and several Tarot Cardss were unconsciously flying between her fingers, heard this and asked curiously, "Isn't that to the east of the Sonia Sea? Recently, another group of Adventurer set out to look for it."

"Those are all rumors spread by 'King of Immortality', a ploy to trick Adventurer and the pirates into going to that sea area to 'take advantage of others'. Don't be fooled."

Angel replied with a smile, reaching out his hand to the girl's silky hair, but the other party dodged it with deft movements.

Um?

Angel's face froze.

A deep light flashed through the glass window behind Sonia, and a Mirror Substitution dressed exactly the same as Angel appeared and held down the head of Sonia who happened to be in front of her.

Feeling the warm and smooth feel in the palm of his hand, this "Despair" Demoness narrowed his eyes with satisfaction.
