Mr. Fool also has the authority over “secrets”… Leonard suddenly understood why the old man specifically mentioned the blessing of secrets.

Without waiting for his response, Klein added:

"Also, tell Pales Zoroast that Amon is very likely aware of an angel who is a 'thief' in the area around Boklund Street."

This... Leonard's pupils widened and he blurted out:

"How would He know?"

It’s not convenient to tell you this… Klein muttered in his heart, and then said seriously:

"I'm not Amon."

"Did you infer this from some of His actions and words?" Leonard asked subconsciously.

No, I was the one who “told” Him… Klein chuckled as a reply.

Sure enough... Leonard nodded secretly:

"No problem, I'll tell the old man."

He paused and said:

"Do you want to wait for Him to give you a specific plan?"

Klein said, “Hmm.”

"When it comes to understanding Amon and the ways of the Thief, few beings are better than Him."

Having concluded that Amon would not come to Böklund Street for some time, he added calmly:

"Don't rush to respond. Give me feedback at the Tarot gathering tomorrow."

It seems that the matter is not too urgent... Leonard interpreted the most important information from Klein's words and nodded slightly:

"Okay, we'll discuss the details at the Tarot gathering tomorrow."

After finalizing the matter, Klein immediately stood up and bowed towards the location of the "light gate":

"Mr. Fool, we are done."

Leonard just stood up and before he could make any move, his vision became blurred and was completely enveloped by the leaping crimson starlight.

When he regained consciousness, he was already back in the sparse woods on the outskirts of the North District.

"Do you have anything to tell me?" The slightly old voice of Pallez Zoroast sounded.

Leonard cleared his throat and said:

"Klein told me that he is a secret devotee and I can try to pray for help."

"The hidden follower, as expected..." Pales sighed, "Tell him that as long as he can really pray for the hidden blessing, I am willing to help him deal with Amon and find all his clones hidden in Backlund."

Leonard was not surprised by this answer. He said, "Hey":

"Old man, you are not as weak as you say!"

Pales Zoroast laughed without getting angry at all:

"Haven't you read the Roselle Quotations? I remember there was a sentence in it that said 'A lean camel is bigger than a horse.'"

"That depends on what kind of horse and camel it is." Leonard retorted habitually, and then asked, "Old man, how should we deal with Amon? Are you going to use yourself as bait?"

“Ahem!” Pales replied unhappily, “In that case, I will be facing Amon’s true self, not his clone. At that time, it will most likely lead to a war between gods. I will still have a chance to escape, but you may not even be able to return to the dark kingdom of night.”

"..." Leonard could only respond with a wry smile.

Pales Zoroast continued:

"Unlike similar abilities from other pathways, Amon's clone can rapidly grow stronger by absorbing the Beyonder characteristics of the 'Thief' pathway, splitting into more 'Time Worms' and parasitizing different organisms. As long as the Beyonder characteristics are sufficient, this process can continue..."

"Isn't this like an infection of the plague?" Leonard felt a chill down his spine again.

If the extraordinary characteristics of the "Thief" pathway are sufficient, Amon's clone can develop from parasitizing one person to parasitizing everyone in the entire city!

"Almost." Pales Zoroast confirmed Leonard's guess and sighed, "If we want to deal with Amon, we can only start from this aspect. Use the Beyonder characteristic of the Demigod level of the 'Thief' pathway to lure Him out. As long as we can successfully deal with one of the clones, we can find a way to track down and eliminate the rest. However, Amon is a master in the field of deception. We must be careful enough, otherwise it will appear that you are luring Him, but in fact it is He who is luring you. In this matter, secrecy is of vital importance!"

"I understand." Leonard exhaled softly, and then asked, "How powerful can Amon's clone be?"

Pales Zoroast was silent for several seconds as if he was reminiscing, and then he said:

“In theory, His strongest clone can reach the level of Sequence 1, but it is almost impossible for Him to do so. This will make His mental state unstable and He may lose control.

"Generally speaking, one of his clones is a 'Time Worm', which initially has the strength of a weak Sequence 4, but also possesses the angelic essence of the Beyonder characteristic of Crushing. After fully absorbing the Beyonder characteristic of the 'Thief' pathway, such a clone can reach the Sequence 2 level. However, Amon rarely does this. His clones will actively split and create more clones.

"Moreover, judging from Backlund's actual situation, it would be difficult for him to collect the Beyonder characteristics that would allow his clone to grow to Sequence 2."

Leonard thought carefully and said:

"So, we will be facing a group of Amons, most of whom are weak Sequence 4, a small number are normal Sequence 4, and a few can reach Sequence 3?"

"According to Amon's style, it should be like this, but you must remember that Amon is good at deception." Pales Zoroast reminded him, "Also, judging from the time when Amon's clone arrived in Backlund, He will not have collected too many Beyonder characteristics of the 'Thief' pathway. After all, this is Backlund. Also, if the situation is not right, His clones will take the strongest one as the core and actively gather together to elevate their essence. The most important thing to do when dealing with Amon is not to let things develop to this stage. Otherwise, even if an angel from the hidden realm comes, he will not be able to stop Amon from escaping."

"It's really difficult to deal with. This is just a clone that was randomly thrown out to develop freely. He is worthy of being the King of Angels..." Leonard sighed for a while, and suddenly remembered Klein's reminder. He said quickly, "Amon seems to have locked onto a demigod of the 'Thief' path. Klein met Amon when he was tracking the latter. Also, Amon seems to know that there is an angel of the 'Thief' path hiding in the area around Boklund Street..."

Pales Zoroast was silent again and didn't say anything for a long time.

After a while, just when Leonard couldn't help but urge him, He exhaled and said:

"How come your former colleague is in the same trouble as you?"

"What?" Leonard looked confused.

Pales Zoroast said unhappily:

"Amon knows that there is a 'thief' hiding in the area around Boklund Street. The incident of the passing angel is probably related to him!"

"Old man, you, you used your ability to 'decrypt' it?" Leonard asked with a little surprise.

Pales snorted:

“I use my brain!

"Why else do you think it has the prefix Böklundstrasse?"

...That's right. Anything related to Böklund Street can't avoid Dwayne Dantès... Could it be that Klein was the one who caused this again? Leonard finally realized it.

At this time, Pales exhaled and said:

“Fortunately, he only said it was an angel and didn’t mention my name, otherwise my advice would be to leave Backlund as soon as possible.

“Tell him that there are two options:

"One is to collect the '1' level seals of the 'Thief' path, or find a demigod of the 'Thief' path to design a trap. The whole process must be under the protection of secrecy, and it must be natural, reasonable, and normal, without any suspicion.

"The second is to wait for Amon to enter Böklund Street himself. He will most likely use a combination of the two methods of 'taking someone's identity' and 'sneaking in through thin air'. Therefore, your former colleague must be able to see through the grafting of fate, or be able to detect the abnormalities of tiny creatures. Otherwise, no matter how well he plans, he will only be delivering food to Amon."

Leonard's eyelids jumped when he heard this, and he nodded solemnly:

"I will discuss these matters with him tomorrow afternoon."

"Yes." Pales Zoroast sighed again, "Also, if I can eliminate all of Amon's clones in Backlund, most of the remaining 'Time Worms' will belong to me."

Is this a supplement? No wonder the old man wanted to take the risk... Leonard asked with some realization:

"Those 'Time Worms' contain the extraordinary properties of the 'Thief' pathway?"

"It's like this in my hands, but it may not be the case for others." Pales explained simply, "The 'Worm of Time' left behind after the death of Amon's clone did contain enough extraordinary properties at first, but this will soon be lost and return to the original body. We must have the corresponding ability to prevent this from happening."

Leonard nodded first, then asked in confusion:

"Why is the 'Luck Stealer' spell made by the 'Time Worm' so powerful?"

Pales sneered:

"Have you forgotten the nature of the spell?

"The essence is to pray for power from higher beings, and to fix the power obtained with materials that can bear it and corresponding symbols. The role of the 'worm of time' in this is a unique bearing material. If the level is high enough, the essence is consistent, and the spirituality is sufficient, it can meet the needs."

"So, the power of the Luck Stealer spell actually comes from Mr. Fool?" Leonard asked thoughtfully.

Pales Zoroast laughed and said:

“Yes, you can also try to pray to Amon and use his power to make the ‘Luck Stealer’ spell.

"Also, the uniqueness of the carrier material will also affect the effect of the final talisman. In other words, different special materials can induce different response forces. Alas, talismans are a very profound and complex subject. You can't just learn it and master it thoroughly. You have to be careful."

Leonard suddenly felt a little ashamed.

…………

On Monday afternoon, Klein used the power of the mysterious space above the gray fog to observe Hazel's family and confirmed that there were no problems for the time being, so he patiently waited for the Tarot gathering to be held.

Deep red light leaped up in the ancient palace and then subsided.

Audrey, Justice, stood up without hesitation and bowed to the head of the mottled long table.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~"
