Klein's pupils contracted. Outwardly he appeared normal, but inwardly his spirit was tense, and his mind was in turmoil.
Although he had always used Amon to scare the old man inside Leonard and the half-deity of the Marauder pathway beside Hazel, it was only a name. He had never thought that this "blasphemer," the King of Angels, would arrive in
Actually, this was both unexpected and reasonable. When there exist an angel and a half-god of the Marauder pathway in Backlund, according to the Law of Beyonder Characteristic Convergence, Amon would come sooner or later… The only problem was that He had been searching for something in the "God-forsaken Land" for many years and was unlikely to give it up suddenly. Also, His tomb in the suburbs of Backlund had been destroyed by the "Mechanical Heart," so He could no longer travel back and forth as before… So this wasn't His main body, but an avatar? An avatar that already existed on the Northern Continent? Hmm, angels of the Marauder pathway should all be proficient at creating avatars using "Time
—Sometimes he even suspected that the mythological creature form of the Marauder pathway was a pile of "Time Worms" combined in some way.
As the King of Angels of the Marauder pathway before the Great Cataclysm, Amon surely knows what the title "Mr. Fool" represents and can detect the corresponding aura… He even wants to steal the control and ownership of the
What he feared most now was that, due to the Law of Beyonder Characteristic Convergence, he might accidentally encounter the "blasphemer" Amon while going out, and the other party clearly could sense his specialness. At that time, perhaps without any warning, the so-called "Mr. Fool" would need to consider whether he had a chance to revive, because that was the King of Angels, a being second only to a True God, and the Marauder pathway has always been known for its deceit and hidden abilities. Even in Backlund, Amon might not dare not to act, quietly stealing someone's life might be his forte.
From this perspective, temporarily leaving Backlund for Western Balam might not be such a bad thing… In any case, the biggest problem is myself. If I had already advanced to become a "Faceless," I could conceal the aura of the Gray Fog. Even if I met Amon on the street, I wouldn't worry about any exposure… Klein silently took a breath, again feeling a pressing urge: I must push open the door of Sequence 4 as soon as possible, change my life form, and become a half-god, a strong being! To that end, whether it's getting more puppets, deepening the acting to accelerate digestion, or collecting the corresponding Beyonder materials, I have to work even harder!
Sigh… Backlund is really a terrifying place. If Urolus hasn't left or has already returned, then here, as far as I know, there are four, no, five angels, including two Kings of Angels! That doesn't even count the royal family and military whose base is Backlund, the undead spirit from the underground ruins—the combination of the will of a former King of Angels and two angels—whose whereabouts are unknown… If the "Divine Abomination" Ssea of the Rose School also comes here because of tracking Gehrman Sparrow, then it would be really lively. In comparison, the battle of half-gods outside Bayam back then was only child's play… Klein looked at the sketch drawn by Ian and shook his head ambiguously:
"Hmm, I see."
His shaking head, in Ian's and
"I have to go. I'll give you a reply before dawn," Klein said, taking off his hat, bowing, and slowly walking out of the billiard room. He "teleported" back to 160, Berkeland Street from the quiet alley outside the "Brave Bar."
In the master bedroom, his first thought was not of Miss
Having gained some experience in this area, he quickly came up with an idea: Give Amon something to do, to divert His attention!
As for what that something was, it certainly had to be the kind He couldn't resist and definitely would be interested in, for example, the angel of the Marauder pathway,
Of course, Klein would not directly betray Leonard's old man, because the other party had not shown any malice so far.
His idea was simple: to inform Pallez Zoroast of Amon's arrival in Backlund, to see how this angel who survived the Fourth Epoch would react, and then decide what to do based on the situation.
If that old man still had no way to deal with what was probably just Amon's avatar, and had to make Leonard leave Backlund on some mission to avoid Amon, then I would also go to Western Balam in advance, claiming to rebuild my network of relationships, wait for the birth of the "Snake of Fate" Will Aucespin, and then teleport back quietly to get the umbilical cord blood… Klein made a sudden decision, took out a piece of letter paper, and wrote:
"Amon is here."
Folding the paper and putting it in an envelope, Klein took out an adventurer's harmonica, brought it to his mouth, and blew hard.
At the same time as
—This was one of the ten gold coins he had asked his valet
This shows that face is bought with money… Klein sighed, and said to the messenger lady, who was wearing a somber, elaborate dress:
"Deliver the letter to 7 Pinster Street. Mmm, just put it in the mailbox, don't deliver it to the recipient."
Unclear about Pallez Zoroast's true intentions and character, Klein wanted to keep more of his cards hidden from Him. So before Leonard wrote to
The head with golden hair and red eyes that Reinette Tinekerr was holding in her left hand lifted, half-inhaling, half-bringing the envelope and coin to its mouth. However, it didn't disappear immediately, but floated in place, looking at Klein with all eight eyes, silently looking.
What's happening? Klein froze for a second, then guessed something, and asked with a strange expression:
