Ah, Amon!
Klein's eyes narrowed. He appeared normal on the outside, but his mind was tense and his heart was in turmoil.
Although he had been Amon to scare the old man inside Leonard's body and the " Marauder " Demigod by Hibbert's side, it was just a pretext. He never imagined that this " Blasphemer," the Angel King, would arrive in Backlund so quickly, and that he would be looking for an organization that believed in " The Fool "!
Actually, this was both unexpected and reasonable. When there were Angel and Demigod of the " Marauder " pathway in Backlund, according to the Law of Beyonder Characteristics Convergence, Amon would come sooner or later... The only problem was that He had been searching for something in the " Forsaken Land of the Gods " for so many years, and it was unlikely that He would suddenly give up. Moreover, His mausoleum on the outskirts of Backlund had been destroyed by the " Machinery Hivemind," and He could no longer travel back and forth as before... So, this was not His true form, but an avatar? An avatar that originally existed in the Northern Continent? Hmm, Angel of the " Marauder " pathway should all be good at creating avatars using the " Worm of Time," and Amon was definitely stronger than them... Klein's thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning, and he gradually formed some guesses.
At times, he even suspected that the Mythical Creature Form of the " Marauder " pathway were simply a bunch of " Worm of Time " assembled in some way.
As the " Marauder " pathway Angel King before the Cataclysm, Amon certainly knew what the title " The Fool " represented and could sense the corresponding aura... He even wanted to Stealing control and ownership of the Gray Fog... He came for " The Fool " this time, which is really a headache... After the Original shock and horror, Klein gradually calmed down.
What he fears most now is that, due to the Law of Beyonder Characteristics Convergence, he might accidentally encounter " The Blasphemer " Amon when he goes out. The other party is obviously able to sense his special type. At that time, there might not be any action, but the so-called " The Fool " would have to consider whether there is a chance of resurrection and rebirth. After all, he is the Angel King, a being second only to the true god. Moreover, the " Marauder " path has always been known for its ability to Deceit and conceal its abilities. Even in Backlund, it might not be afraid to take action. Quietly Stealing other people's lives might be one of Amon's strengths.
So it seems that temporarily leaving Backlund and heading to West Balam might not be such a bad thing... In any case, the biggest problem still lies with myself. If I had advanced and become a " Bizarro Sorcerer," I could conceal the aura of the Gray Fog, and even if I encountered Amon on the road, I wouldn't have to worry about exposing anything... Klein silently took a breath, feeling a certain urgency once again:
We must open the Sequence 4 gate as soon as possible, change our life form, and become a powerful being who is Demigod and half-human!
Therefore, whether it's working on more Marionette, deepening the Acting, accelerating the digestion of the material, or collecting relevant extraordinary materials, we must work even harder!
Hmph... Backlund is truly a terrifying place. If Ouroboros hasn't left yet, or has already returned, then as far as I know, there are four, no, five Angel here, including two Angel King! This doesn't even include the royal family and military, who are based in Backlund, nor the Evil Spirit the former Angel King and the aggregate of the wills of two Angel in the underground ruins whose whereabouts are unknown... If the " God's Abomination " Suah of the Rose School of Thought also came here in pursuit of Gehrman Sparrow. Compared to this, the Demigod war outside Bayam City is merely child's play... Klein looked at the sketch Ian had drawn and shook his head with an ambiguous expression:
"Okay, I understand."
Ian and Maric interpreted his head shake as a sign that he didn't recognize the man in the painting wearing a monocle, but in reality, it expressed his helplessness.
"Gentlemen, I have to go now. I'll get back to you before midnight." Klein took off his hat, bowed, and slowly left the billiard room, then " Teleportation " back to 160 Böklund Street through a quiet alley outside the " Bravehearts Bar ".
In the master bedroom, his first thought wasn't about Miss Sharron and Maric's requests, but rather how to deal with the potential problems posed by Amon.
Having considerable experience in this area, he quickly came up with an idea:
Give Amon something to do to distract Him!
As for what it is, it's something He can't resist and would absolutely be interested in, such as the Angel Pallez Zoroast of the " Marauder " pathway!
This may be the key to whether Amon can become the true god of Sequence 0, and is more important than finding an organization that believes in " The Fool ".
Of course, Klein won't directly betray Leonard's grandfather, because the other party hasn't shown any malice so far.
His idea was simple: to inform Pallez Zoroast about Amon's arrival in Backlund, see how the Angel who had survived the Fourth Age would react, and then decide what to do based on the situation.
If that old man still has no way to deal with Amon, who is likely just an avatar, and can only have Leonard leave Backlund under the pretext of a mission to avoid Amon, then I will also go to West Balam ahead of time, ostensibly to rebuild our network, and then quietly Teleportation back to collect the umbilical cord blood once " Snake of Fate " Will Auceptin is born... Klein suddenly made a decision, pulled out a piece of paper, and wrote:
" Amon has arrived."
After folding the letter and putting it in an envelope, Klein took out his Adventurer Harmonica, brought it to his lips, and blew hard.
As Reinette Tinekerr appeared, he took a gold coin from his pocket and placed it on top of the letter.
This was one of the ten gold coins he had his personal valet Richardson exchange for that afternoon Dawn Dantès and Pallez Zoroast being on the same level, Klein hadn't mentioned that sending or receiving mail required a gold coin when he gave Leonard Mitchell his contact information.
This shows that face is bought with money... Klein sighed as he spoke to the messenger, who was dressed in a somber, elaborate long dress:
"Deliver the letter to 7 Pinster Street. Yes, just drop it in the mailbox; don't give it to the recipient."
Unsure of Pallez Zoroast's true intentions and character, Klein wanted to conceal more of his true intentions from him. Therefore, before Leonard took the initiative to write to Klein Moretti, he did not intend to let his poet classmate meet the messenger directly.
Reinette Tinekerr raised the blonde, red-eyed head she was holding in her left hand, half-sucking and half-biting the envelope and gold coins into her mouth. However, she did not disappear immediately, but Levitation in place, all eight eyes staring at Klein in silence.
"What's going on?" Klein paused for a second, then, as if guessing, asked with a strange expression:
"You don't know where 7 Pinster Street is?"
He then remembered that the messenger relied on a mystical method of location to deliver messages—the location of the contractor and the aura of the previous sender. Therefore, once the latter moved beyond the sensing range, the messenger could no longer find them.
Upon hearing Klein's question, Reinette Tinekerr, holding all four heads in her hands, nodded simultaneously, indicating that she truly did not know.
Klein coughed lightly twice, opened a drawer, and found a complete map of Backlund. He first drew a large circle with a pen, marked the North Borough, and then circled Pinster Street.
"Once we get there, we can find the house number." Klein folded the map and handed it over.
The head that Reinette Tinekerr was holding in her right hand immediately opened its mouth, bit the map, and then her figure faded away, entering the Spirit World.
Seeing this, Klein sighed, turned and walked out of the master bedroom to the semi-open room with a large balcony to read newspapers and magazines.
As night deepened, before taking a bath, he took four steps backward and entered the mysterious space above the Gray Fog.
"Helping Sharron and Maric steal the mummy of Tutanssess II is dangerous." Klein took off the citrine pendant from his left sleeve and began to Divination.
This time, the pendulum rotated clockwise with a small amplitude and a slow speed.
This means the level of danger isn't high... and even if there are traps targeting Miss Sharron and Maric, I'm not too afraid now... Klein waved his hand, sending a small, semi-transparent "black crystal card" flying over.
This is the " Fate Siphon " charm.
Klein created a high-level Demigod- level talisman using the " Worm of Time "!
Immediately afterwards, he summoned " Creeping Hunger " and " Sea God Scepter," donned the former, picked up the latter, and Record " Lightning Storm " and " Tornado."
The upgraded " Creeping Hunger " can Record two extraordinary abilities at the Demigod level, no higher than Sequence 3, through Mr. X's soul and traits. With this, Klein no longer needs to borrow " Lemano's Travel Notes " every time, and it's much more convenient, since flipping through the magic book would affect the use of the " Death Knell " revolver and the " Fate Siphon " charm, unless he grows two more hands.
Having completed the necessary preparations, Klein returned to the real world, pulled out another sheet of paper, and wrote concisely:
"Specific time, location, and plan."
At 1 a. m., Leonard, who had slept for two hours, got up refreshed and prepared to leave 7 Pinster Street and head to the underground of Saint Samuel Cathedral.
He had just stepped outside when a sudden, Spirituality feeling struck him, and he instinctively turned his gaze to the side.
A hint of doubt flashed in Leonard's eyes as he walked over and opened the mailbox.
He had emptied the mailbox of newspapers, bills, and letters by dinner time. Normally, there would be nothing left in the mailbox by dawn, since the postman would have gone home. But at this moment, a thin letter lay quietly at the bottom.
" Old Man, you didn't remind me I had a new letter," Leonard said in a low voice as he picked up the letter.
In his mind, that slightly aged voice responded:
No one came in.
Leonard knew the Old Man's senses were limited by his own body, so he didn't say anything more, tore open the seal, took out the letter, and unfolded it.
The letter was mostly blank, with only a short sentence:
" Amon has arrived."
Amon has arrived... Leonard's pupils dilate suddenly.
At the same time, he heard the "breathing" of the Parasite inside his body for the first time.
