Amon!
Klein's eyes narrowed. Although he looked normal on the outside, he was tense on the inside, and there were turbulent waves in his heart.
Although he had been using Amon to scare the grandfather in Leonard's body and the "thief" demigod beside Hazel, he was just borrowing the name. He never thought that this "blasphemer", the King of Angels, would come to Backlund so soon, and was looking for an organization that believed in "The Fool"!
Actually, this was unexpected, but reasonable. When there were angels and demigods from the "Thief" path in Backlund, according to the law of Beyonder aggregation, Amon would come sooner or later... The only problem was that He had been searching for something in the "Forsaken Land of God" for so many years, and it was unlikely that He would give up suddenly. Moreover, His mausoleum in the suburbs of Backlund had been destroyed by the "Machine Heart", and He could not go back and forth like in the past... So, this was not His real body, but an avatar? An avatar that originally existed in the northern continent? Well, the angels from the "Thief" path should be good at using the "Time Worm" to create avatars, and Amon must be better than them all... Klein's thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning, and he gradually came up with some guesses.
Sometimes, he even suspected that the mythical creature form of the "Thief" path was just a bunch of "Time Worms" combined in some way.
As the King of the Angels of the Thief Path before the Cataclysm, Amon must know what the title of "The Fool" represents, and can sense the corresponding aura... He even wants to steal the ownership of the control of the gray fog... He is coming for the "Fool" this time, which is really a headache... After the initial shock and horror, Klein gradually calmed down.
What he feared most now was that, because of the law of aggregation of extraordinary characteristics, he would accidentally meet the "blasphemer" Amon when he went out, and the other party would obviously be able to sense his special type. At that time, there might not be any movement, and the so-called "fool" would have to consider whether there was a chance of resurrection. After all, he was the king of angels, second only to the true God. Moreover, the "thief" path has always been known for its ability to deceive and conceal. Even in Backlund, they might not dare to do it. Quietly stealing other people's lives might be Amon's strong point.
From this perspective, temporarily leaving Backlund and heading to West Balam might not be a bad thing... In short, the biggest problem still lies with me. If I have been promoted to a "trickster", I can hide the aura of the gray fog. Even if I meet Amon on the road, I don't have to worry about exposing anything... Klein took a silent breath and felt a sense of urgency again:
You must open the door of Sequence 4 as soon as possible, change your life form, and become a powerful demigod!
For this reason, whether it is making more secret puppets, deepening the role-playing, accelerating digestion, or collecting the corresponding special materials, you have to work harder!
Phew… Backlund is such a scary place. If Ouroboros hasn’t left yet, or has already returned, then there are four, no, five angels here, including two Angel Kings, just from what I know! This doesn’t even include the royal family and military that use Backlund as their base, or the underground ruins evil spirits that have gone to who knows where, the former Angel King and the aggregation of the wills of the two angels… If the “divine evil” Sua of the Rose School also comes here to track down Gehrman Sparrow, then it will be really lively. Compared to this, the demigod war outside Bayam City can only be considered a toddler level… Klein looked at the sketch Ian drew and shook his head with an unclear meaning:
"Yes, I understand."
Ian and Maric thought that he shook his head because he didn't recognize the man with the monocle in the painting, but in fact, he was expressing his helplessness.
“You two, I have to leave now. I’ll reply to you before dawn.” Klein took off his hat, saluted, and slowly left the billiard room. He “teleported” back to 160 Böklund Street in a secluded alley outside the Brave Bar.
In the master bedroom, the first thing he considered was not Miss Sharon and Maric's request, but how to deal with the hidden danger brought by Amon.
As he was quite experienced in this area, he quickly came up with an idea:
Find something for Amon to do to divert His attention!
As for what it is, it is certainly something He cannot resist and will definitely not be uninterested in, such as the angel from the "Thief" path, Pallez Zoroast!
This may be the key to whether Amon can become a Sequence 0 true God, which is more important than finding an organization that believes in "The Fool".
Of course, Klein would not betray Leonard's grandfather directly, because the other party has not shown any ill intentions so far.
His idea was simple. He wanted to inform Pales Zoroast that Amon had arrived in Backlund, to see how this angel who survived the Fourth Epoch would respond. Then, he would decide what to do based on the circumstances.
If the old man still has no way to deal with Amon, who is most likely just a clone, and can only let Leonard leave Backlund under the pretext of a mission to avoid Amon, then I will also go to West Balam in advance and say that I am rebuilding my network. When the "Snake of Fate" Will Auceptin is born, I will quietly teleport back to get the umbilical cord blood... Klein suddenly made a decision, took out a piece of letter paper, and wrote:
"Amon has arrived."
After folding the letter and putting it into an envelope, Klein took out the Adventurer's harmonica, put it to his lips, and blew it hard.
When Renette Tinicole appeared, he took out a gold coin from his pocket and placed it on the letter.
This was one of the ten gold coins he had asked his valet Richardson to exchange in the afternoon. In order to keep Dwayne Dantès and Pales Zoroast on the same level, when Klein told Leonard Mitchell the contact information, he did not mention that a gold coin was required for both sending and receiving letters.
This shows that face is bought with money... Klein sighed as he said to the messenger lady in a gloomy and complicated long dress:
"Send the letter to 7 Pinster Street. Well, put it directly into the mailbox without handing it to the recipient."
Since he didn't know Pales Zoroast's true intentions and character, Klein hoped to hide more cards from him. Therefore, before Leonard took the initiative to write to Klein Moretti, he did not intend to let the poet meet the messenger directly.
In her left hand, Renette Tinicole raised the blond, red-eyed head she was holding, and half-sucked and half-bite the envelope and the gold coin in her mouth. However, she did not disappear immediately, but floated in place, with eight eyes looking at Klein at the same time, silently.
What's going on? Klein was stunned for a second, then he guessed something and asked with a strange expression:
"You don't know where 7 Pinster Street is?"
Only then did he remember that the messenger relied on positioning in the mystical sense to send letters, which was the positioning of the contractor and the breath of the previous sender. Therefore, once the latter moved beyond the sensing range, the messenger would not be able to find him.
Hearing Klein's question, the four heads held in Renette Tinicole's hands nodded simultaneously, indicating that they really didn't know.
Klein coughed twice, opened the drawer, and found a map of Backlund. He drew a big circle with a pen, marked the North District, and then circled Pinster Street.
“Once you get there, you can look at the house number.” Klein folded the map and handed it over.
The head that Renette Tinicole was holding in her right hand immediately opened its mouth and bit the map. Then her figure faded and she entered the spirit world.
Seeing this, Klein let out a breath, turned around and walked out of the master bedroom, and went to the semi-open room with a large balcony to read newspapers and magazines.
Late at night, before taking a bath, he took four steps backwards and entered the mysterious space above the gray fog.
"It's dangerous to help Sharon and Maric steal the mummy of Tutankhamun II." Klein took off the topaz pendant from his left wrist cuff and began to do divination.
This time, the pendulum rotated clockwise, with a small amplitude and slow speed.
This means that the danger level is not high... and even if there are traps for Miss Sharon and Maric, I am not too afraid now... Klein waved his hand and a small translucent "Black Crystal Card" flew over.
This is the "Luck Stealer" spell.
The advanced demigod-level spell made by Klein using the "Time Worm"!
Next, he summoned "Creeping Hunger" and "Poseidon's Scepter", put on the former, picked up the latter, and recorded "Lightning Storm" and "Tornado".
The upgraded "Creeping Hunger" can record two Demigod-level Extraordinary Abilities no higher than Sequence 3 through Mr. X's soul and characteristics. With this, Klein no longer needs to borrow "Lemano's Travel Notes" every time, and it is more convenient. After all, flipping through the magic book will affect the use of the "Death Knell" revolver and the "Luck Stealer" spell, unless he grows two more hands.
After making the necessary preparations, Klein returned to the real world, pulled out another piece of letter paper, and wrote concisely:
"Specific time, place and plan."
…………
At 1 a.m., Leonard, who had slept for two hours, got up in high spirits and prepared to leave 7 Pinster Street and head to the basement of St. Samuel's Church.
He had just walked out of the door when he suddenly had a spiritual intuition and subconsciously looked to the side.
With a flash of doubt in his eyes, Leonard walked over and opened the mailbox.
He had emptied the mailbox of newspapers, bills and letters during dinner. Normally, there would be nothing in the mailbox before dawn because the postman had gone home. However, at this moment, a thin letter was lying quietly at the bottom.
"Old man, you didn't remind me that there was a new letter." Leonard said in a low voice as he picked up the letter.
In his mind, the slightly old voice responded:
“No one came in.”
Leonard knew that the old man's perception was limited by his body, so he said nothing more. He opened the seal, took out the letter, and shook it open.
The letter was mostly blank, with only a short sentence:
"Amon has arrived."
Amon has arrived... Leonard's pupils suddenly dilated.
At the same time, he heard the "breath" of the parasite in his body for the first time.
