On the desolate plains, riddled with deep ravines, the Amon stood in different places, opened their mouths, and chanted in the Jotun:

" The Blessed of the Spirit World and the Sefirah Castle;"

" Mysteries originating from ancient times"

A witness to a long history;

" The Protector of Backlund magic and theatrical performances;"

"The great Gehrman Sparrow..."

These sounds overlapped and pierced the void, seemingly extending to infinity.

After about ten seconds, the Amon adjusted their crystal monocles in different ways and chuckled softly:

"You revised it really quickly."

If Gehrman Sparrow is still automatically responding to this name, they can use it to pinpoint the other party's location and proactively create an " Error " to appear directly next to the target.

In the deep darkness, occasionally illuminated by lightning, Klein, wearing a silk top hat and a woolen overcoat, carried a lantern and walked slowly northward along the relatively flat terrain.

"There are prayers... Amon is using the name of Gehrman Sparrow... This means that Amon and I are not that far apart... But there is no Parasitism of His in City of Silver... Is it with the patrol squads around here, or with some creature I haven't thought of?" As he walked, Klein suddenly turned his head and listened carefully for a few seconds.

He was quite glad that he had been cautious enough to change the title he had tacitly agreed to automatically respond to while still in the Gray Fog, from " Protector Backlund Magic and Theatrical Performances" to " Protector of All Poor Children of Backlund "—this was due to the " Loen Charity Bursary Foundation " he had established.

Hmm... Amon is a " Cryptologist," he could very well "decipher" this name from Dawn Dantès ' various documents... No, there's no way I should make an automatic response... Klein looked at the Yellow Light emanating from the lantern and quickly made a further decision.

He made each " Worm of Spirit " only able to listen to prayers and unable to respond actively unless permitted by the main consciousness.

This meant that frequent prayers would seriously affect his life, but it wasn't a big problem because, apart from the malicious harassment from Amon, no one would pray to Gehrman Sparrow, and he didn't even spread his name.

After settling this matter, Klein turned to the various terrifying aspects of Amon and suddenly had some doubts about what he was going to do next.

His original plan was to leave City of Silver and head north to the North to investigate the situation there and see if he could obtain the main ingredient needed for the " Miracle Invoker " Potion. However, after connecting the ancient ruins with Amon, problems became apparent:

Klein has confirmed that similar pathways also exhibit the Law of Beyonder Characteristics Convergence at higher levels. Since Amon has been wandering in the Forsaken Land of the Gods for over a thousand years and has been near the City of Silver, how could He not be drawn to the northern ruins of North?

The fact that even the chief of City of Silver dared not enter meant that the power within North City had definitely reached the Angel level, and wouldn't be ignored by Amon... He might not dare to directly consume such a high-level Beyonder Characteristic of a similar pathway, but that didn't stop him from setting a trap... Even if he hadn't done it before, he was definitely heading there now... Of course, it's possible that Amon hadn't discovered it, because when the chief of City of Silver first went there, the North weren't so dangerous. Perhaps that Angel power arrived at the North Ruins later... He himself was constantly migrating, just to avoid Amon? Lost in thought, Klein was a little hesitant to go to that ancient city in the northwest.

He decided to first see if there were any other ways to obtain the main ingredients for the " Miracle Invoker " Potion before considering whether to go to the outskirts of North to make some observations and gather some information.

With that thought in mind, Klein, dressed in a black woolen overcoat and wearing a top silk hat, picked up a lantern and walked toward the ruins of a tall tower that he had seen earlier through the lightning.

Along the way, in the dangerous darkness beyond the Yellow Light, Monster lined up in rows, silently following him.

They are already Klein's Marionette.

Compared to them, the Saint of the " Seer " path are more mysterious and more terrifying.

As they walked, one of the Monster, which resembled a fish with arms and legs, suddenly spoke, chanting in the Jotun:

" Eternal Blazing Sun!"

"You are the inextinguishable light;"

"You are the embodiment of order..."

As soon as the three-part honorific name was recited, the Monster convulsed and collapsed, losing its life.

--The names of deities often have more than three parts, but when reciting them, you only need to choose three parts. For example, the full name of " Eternal Blazing Sun " is " Eternal Blazing Sun, Undying Light, Incarnation of Order, God of Contracts, Guardian of Commerce ", while Klein just used the first three parts.

In this way, Klein prayed to the " Lord of Storms," the " God of Knowledge and Wisdom," and the " Evernight Goddess " in turn, hoping to receive some response.

However, a full quarter of an hour passed, and nothing changed in his surroundings.

"Praying to the Sequence 0 True God in the Forsaken Land of the Gods is ineffective? Unless the target is a ' True Creator ' or an entity that possesses things like the ' Sefirah Castle ' or the ' Chaos Sea '?"

"That's not right. This Afternoon Town clergyman mentioned the goddess's true name, he was ' Concealment, ' but when he mentioned the fourth Angel King, he was 'desecrated' because it involved deities... Perhaps it's because the Forsaken Land of the Gods retains various divine powers, not just ' Concealment ' and ' Depravity,' and the true names of different deities have special mystical meanings that can leverage corresponding powers?"

"This explains why City of Silver has been teaching the true names of Badhair and Herabergen, but hasn't established a connection with the ' God of Combat ' and the ' God of Knowledge and Wisdom '... Prayers in the Forsaken Land of the Gods are either unheard by the true gods, or they may hear but cannot respond... This also shows that there are no remnants of the ' God of Combat of War' and the ' God of Knowledge and Wisdom's power in the area surrounding City of Silver; otherwise, something extraordinary would definitely have happened..."

"Well, it's also possible that there was some change, but rather that it was eliminated by those two '0' level, uh, god-level Sealed Artifact in City of Silver..."

"If I were to directly utter the goddess's true name, would it cause the surrounding 'darkness' and ' Concealment ' to boil over? If this power could be controlled, I would have another effective card to play when Amon is tracking me... The probability is not high. Directly uttering the true name of a deity is blasphemy and would invite attacks from the corresponding power, just like that clergyman in the Afternoon Town..." Klein, based on phenomena and logic, had made some speculations about the current situation and was eager to try to pronounce the true names of the deities he knew one by one to see what the effect would be.

Ultimately, he restrained himself and did not make any blind attempts.

"I should go do Divination above the Gray Fog first, otherwise who knows if it might lead to an unbearable accident... Hmm, Divination involving gods might not yield very clear revelations..." Klein muttered to himself for a moment, then chuckled at his own impulsiveness. "My previous thought was practically equivalent to: I haven't been reckless for two days, I have to do it seriously today!"

By this time, he had arrived at the collapsed tower, sat down beside the wall that was only half intact, reached into Historical Void, took out a paper crane, and lit it.

He wanted to try to contact " Snake of Fate " Will Auceptin Ceres, if he had a medium, to ask where else he could obtain the main ingredient for the " Miracle Invoker " Potion.

Bathed in the light of the lantern, which was being summoned for the third time, Klein fell into a deep sleep, but he didn't dream of anything.

"It just didn't work..." After waking up, Klein shook his head and "leaped" into a Historical Void.

Then, he took four steps backward and arrived above the Gray Fog.

Klein took his seat in the " The Fool's " spot and beckoned to retrieve a small cardboard box from the pile of clutter. Inside was a stack of paper cranes.

These were all folded by the baby himself.

At the same time, "The World" Gehrman Sparrow was materialized, praying to Mr. The Fool in a gray and white world, asking Him to pass on his request to Miss Justice, saying that it could accumulate merit to exchange for the " Manipulator " Potion recipe.

Of course, Klein had already revealed that the Potion needed to be taken during a period of intense emotional resonance.

Inside the Earl Hall's luxurious villa in Backlund, Queens Borough.

Audrey returned to her bedroom once more and set up a ritual to pray for a blessing, receiving a paper crane in return.

She then picked up a finely sharpened pencil and wrote on the paper crane:

" Dawn Dantès requests an audience with me."

After completing the preparations, Audrey followed Mr. World's instructions, placed the paper crane under her pillow, and lay down to sleep.

Soon, she saw a dark and desolate plain. As a " Dreamwalker " who had Psychological Suggestion herself beforehand, she remained conscious and, filled with intense curiosity, walked toward the black spire in the center of the plain.

Upon arriving at her destination, Audrey was suddenly struck by Spirit Intuition, raised her head, and looked up at the top of the spire.

A giant, silvery-white Serpent had somehow coiled up there.

This Serpent has no scales; its body is covered with symbols and patterns that form interconnected, rotating wheels with different markings.

At this moment, the Serpent stared at Audrey with its bright red and cold eyes, and spoke in a low voice:

"What's up Dawn Dantès?"

Is this the Angel of Fate who gave the " The Hermit " lady a drop of blood? Audrey controlled her thoughts, calmly met the Serpent's gaze, and truthfully said:

"He asked me to ask you where I can obtain the main ingredient for the ' Miracle Invoker ' Potion."

The silvery-white Serpent suddenly fell silent, and after several seconds it spoke:

"The number of Sequence 2 slots varies depending on the route taken; with the ' Attendant of Mysteries ' slot fully booked, there can only be six ' Miracle Invoker '."

" Miracle Invoker " is the name of Sequence 2 Potion... Is Mr. "World" going to become Angel? Or is he preparing for his companion? No, if it's a companion, he can ask him himself... Audrey was startled at first, then became even more eager for the answer from the mysterious Serpent in front of her.
