Chapter 9 Confirmation



They don't give blessings... Derrick was a little confused by this answer and didn't quite understand it.

In the afternoon at the town camp, when he handed the "Silver Knight" potion formula to Chief Colin Iliad, he praised him for his great contribution, saying that the upper limit after the City of Silver would no longer be Sequence 4, and his words did not reveal any intention of seeking blessings from external forces.

Therefore, Derrick had always believed that the Chief could use the two god-level seals to complete the "Silver Knight" promotion ceremony on his own, so he was inevitably a little surprised at this time.

The Chief didn't know at the time that the two god-level sealed objects would not grant blessings. He only discovered this problem after returning to Silver City? Derrick subconsciously made some guesses, and without asking any more questions, he nodded heavily and said:

"Okay, I will try my best to help you seek the blessing of the gods."

Demon Hunter Colin exhaled silently and pointed at the door.

"There's no one in the room opposite."

Derrick immediately turned around, passed through the door, crossed the corridor, and entered the half-open room.

Then, he found a seat and sat down, reciting in a low voice:

“Fools who do not belong to this age;

“The mysterious master above the gray fog;

"The Yellow and Black King who controls good luck..."

Inside Sefirah Castle, hidden in the gray fog, the crimson star representing the "sun" rapidly expanded and then suddenly contracted, repeating the process over and over, emitting circles of light that contained the sound of prayer.

Not far away, the crimson star representing the Magician remained in a similar state because the Fool had never responded. The halos, ripples, and vibrations created by the two gradually intertwined, overlapped, and became increasingly intense.

Under the illumination of lightning, Clayton, who was walking in the valley holding a leather lantern, felt that the illusory and overlapping prayers in his ears became noisier, more chaotic, and louder.

However, Klein found that he could hear it a little more clearly. Not only could he distinguish that the prayers came from a woman and a man, but he could also vaguely grasp certain content: the woman seemed to mention "world" and "Backlund", and the man used Giant language, and the key word seemed to be ritual.

Ritual, Giant language... This is from Little Sun... Uh, the chief wants the blessing of Mr. Fool? Mr. Fool also wants a blessing now... The woman could be Miss Magician, or Miss Justice... Klein pulled the corner of his mouth in embarrassment, turned his head and looked at Amon, who was wearing a pointed hat and a monocle, and said:

"Can I go to Sefirah Castle to answer your prayer?"

"What do you think?" Amon was stunned for a moment and asked back with a smile.

"Since you want to play such a game, why not make it more exciting?" In fact, Klein had no hope for that request, because as long as he could return to Sefirah Castle, he could use the power there to initially get out of the predicament, which was equivalent to asking Amon to let him go.

The reason why he mentioned this was to start a subsequent topic.

Amon used his knuckles to push against his crystal monocle and laughed:

"As the 'God of Mischief', I have lived from the Third Age to the present day. I think you should know clearly what this means.

"Well, what do you want to ask?"

...This is an accurate grasp of my mentality and thoughts... Klein sighed and asked:

"Why did you 'parasite' the Silver City Exploration Team and stay in the dungeon patiently for decades?"

Amon nodded and replied with a relaxed attitude:

"I had a premonition that I would obtain extremely important intelligence in the City of Silver. Now, this prophecy has come true, right, Mr. Fool?"

...Did I do all those things just to wait for the Tarot Club to wait for me? This Angel King of the "Thief" path seems to be able to see to a certain extent the disturbance caused by "Source Castle" to fate... Klein didn't expect the answer to be this, and for a moment he didn't know how to continue the topic.

After about ten seconds, he sighed and said:

"You are so patient."

A mischievous angel king could actually lurk in a dark and boring dungeon for decades.

"It has nothing to do with patience. It didn't take me too much time." Amon replied casually.

………I am still used to measuring gods by human standards. For Amon, who was born a complete mythical creature, a few decades is really nothing. His real age may be over three thousand years old… Klein adjusted his cognition and asked again:

"Silver City is probably one of the few places that still believes in your father. Did you go too far in what you did to that exploration team?"

This question may seem unnecessary, but Klein believes that it will help him understand Amon's cognitive perspective and behavior style and see if there is anything he can use.

Amon turned his head and glanced at him with his right eye wearing a monocle, and smiled indifferently:

“If they hadn’t still believed in my father, the Silver City would have been a ruin by now.

"Hehe, from what I've observed, they are hiding a big secret. What exactly is it? Because of the 'Hanged Man' and your gaze, I haven't had the chance to find out yet."

...They are truly mythical creatures. The death of a few humans is like stepping on a few ants to them, and they don't care at all... The City of Silver actually hides a secret that even Amon thinks is big... What could it be? Klein thoughtfully changed the subject:

"Did your father really create the Dark Angel Sasriel from one of his own ribs?"

This was something Klein had wanted to ask all the way, but never had the chance to.

The smile on Amon's face faded a lot. He looked at the deep darkness ahead and said:

"Yes, he separated some of his own characteristics and the corresponding negative personality, and used his own ribs as material to create the 'Dark Angel' Sasriel.

“If it weren’t so, how could such an arrogant guy like Medici obey the so-called Left Hand of God, the Vice-Prince of Heaven?

"Without Sasriel's rebellion, involvement, and influence, even if Night, Earth, the God of War, and the other Angel Kings joined forces, it would not be possible for my father to fall."

Sure enough... "Dark Angel" Sasriel is the most important breakthrough point... No wonder the goddess wanted to bewitch him from the beginning... Who would have thought that he would betray himself? Klein's speculation about the original war of gods was initially confirmed, and he felt that the "Ancient Scholar" potion had been digested a little more.

He deliberately hesitated for a moment and put forward a conjecture:

"Could your father have foreseen such a development? The 'Dark Angel' Sasriel is also the key to his resurrection?"

Amon suddenly laughed:

"You ask so many questions because you want to further digest the 'Ancient Scholar' potion, right?"

…Klein pretended to be in a cold sweat and quickly adjusted his attitude.

"I'm just curious. What are you looking for and pursuing by wandering around the God-Forsaken Land? There is no Beyonder characteristic of Sequence 1 of the 'Thief' Path and 'Source Castle' that you lack here?

"Trying to resurrect your father?"

Amon maintained his smile and looked ahead.

“Yes and no.

"My paranoid brother is very close to resurrecting my father. He probably doesn't need my help anymore."

Adam really wanted to revive the ancient sun god? I thought he wanted to achieve Sequence 0 for himself... Klein called out the name of the leader of the Dusk Hermit Society in his mind without disguising it.

He even expected Adam to come and beat up his brother.

Of course, beatings are not in line with the style of the Angel King of the Audience Path.

"You don't need to read out my name. It's not my business, and I won't get involved in my business. I don't call him Adam simply because I think the nickname of Paranoid is very suitable. I have to say that Medici is very talented in giving nicknames. Also, even if I say my name, you won't be able to hear it if you don't want to." At this time, Amon, who was wearing a pointed hat, smiled and exposed Klein's little thoughts.

Next, Klein did not mention the Dark Angel again because Amon obviously would not answer.

Not long after, a man and an angel walked out of the valley and saw a dead city-state.

Most of the buildings in this city-state have collapsed, and the remaining ones have very pointed tops, as if symbolizing a tall tower leading to heaven.

Their surface is covered with dark red vines, bearing fruits that are not sure whether they are edible or not.

After entering the city-state, Klein discovered that there was a sarcophagus in front of every house, with corpses lying inside, some of them were skeletons or had just decayed.

What they all have in common is that they are extremely deformed. Some have four legs, some have cracks between their eyebrows, some lack skin, revealing their flesh, and some have arms wrapped around their necks like tails.

"This was originally a city-state that believed in the Phoenix. Later, they converted to my father's belief, but they still retained some customs related to death." Amon, wearing a monocle, looked around casually and said, "After the catastrophe, they were left in the God-forsaken Land. There were no edible, relatively normal plants around, so they had to feed on polluted monsters. After generations, all of them developed physical deformities and mental disorders, and then they were completely destroyed."

The "Great Cataclysm" brought about by the goddesses' assassination of the Creator of Silver City was truly a disaster for civilization... Before that, this land had the civilization of elven, giant, phoenix, and so on, and so on. After that, only a few traces were left... Klein thought of the city-state that was swallowed by the earth before, and sighed.

In history books and in mysticism, that period of history is called the "Great Cataclysm", which is indeed very appropriate.

He thought for a moment and said:

"Why do we have to enter this city-state instead of going around it?"

Amon smiled and said:

"In the Second Era, the Phoenix Ancestor not only mastered the Path of Death, but also occupied a part of the Path of Apprentice. Some of the arrangements here can become loopholes that I can use to shorten our journey to our final destination."

Klein's expression suddenly darkened.
