515

67 Red Sycamore Street, Connaut City, Desey County.

Crane took a step forward and rang the doorbell with the more common face of the Zhang Rune Kingdom.

In less than a minute, the door creaked open, and a maid in a long black and white dress looked at her for a few seconds, and asked suspiciously:

"Good evening, who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Lady Nilou, I'm a friend of her father, David Raymond." Crane replied calmly.

David Raymond is the "Dream Demon" he released from "Wriggling Hunger" and the "Red Glove" in "Night Watchman".

His last concern was for his daughter, Nilou Raymond, who felt guilty for not being able to grow up with her, and for losing her mother and father at the same time, and Crane promised him that if he had the chance, he would come to this beautiful coastal city to help him see how his daughter was doing.

Just as the maid invited Crane in, a young man with slightly curly black hair and monocles was walking down the street in another block of Connet.

As he walked, his mouth was still muttering, as if an invisible person was talking to him.

"No, Medici, you just found out about this? Wouldn't it, wouldn't it? Amon drank Russell's sparkling water with a blank expression, "You just knew that she was part of her father?" That's all the Red Angel's intelligence ability? ”

Separated by most of Rune, Medici was happy:

"You kid know? So don't you share your feelings when you learn this information? ”

Amon said almost without much thought: "My father's will is different from the body, it lives forever in the path, I don't think it's strange that she returns, maybe it's ......"

"The only thing that surprised me was that 'she' was Adam." At this point, Amon paused, "When I learned about this answer, I began to wonder if my brother Adam in mythology really existed. Is the so-called 'brotherly relationship' in Amon's memory my father playing a game with me that mimics human play? However, there is no point in thinking about these things, because as a mythical being, I don't need to acquire knowledge and ideas through education such as 'playing house' and 'brothers should help each other'. ”

Medici listened with interest, then yawned.

"Don't keep talking about whether it makes sense, who taught you? The Outer God? ”

Amon replied, "It's not her, it's me who thinks." Human behavior is always in search of meaning, because human life is finite and it is necessary to ensure that one's time is not wasted on things that do not matter. Our time is infinite and we are naturally highly intellectual, so I wonder if I've done a lot of meaningless things since I've survived......"

"Why are you talking about this every time I talk to you? Are you planning to study philosophy at university? ”

Medici yawned and burst into tears, and she immediately spoke to stop Amun's thoughts from developing self-consciousness, and to stop the ramblings:

"I've been leading troops to fight for so many years, and I've seen too many imps like you!"

"Those who are reluctant to go to the battlefield, either cry or feel homesick, or discuss the meaning of life and war, generally such hesitant little ghosts should die for the first charge. If they hadn't died, they wouldn't have had time to think about these things anymore. ”

Amun said, "So, what answer did they come up with?" ”

"There's nothing new under the sun."

Medici naturally quoted a quote from the sacred scriptures: "Man is always thinking, and he never learns a lesson, man is always on the road to preparing for war and war, and man's mind is as meaningless as man's life." ”

"On the battlefield, I don't have time to think about so many messy things, all I want is to rush forward, retreat, and cut the next knife, and the purpose of all this is to live! Heh, as you know, one of the sequences of Hunters is called 'Conspirator', but in most cases, the battlefield doesn't give you much of a chance to strategize! Warriors always live in the moment, even me! ”

"I don't have to live in the moment." Amun muttered, "I don't need to go to war......"

"It's a turtle that lives too long, and it's lived a long, meaningless life than a long one."

Medici sighed: "Forget it, telling you this is like singing to a cow, you are a little worm, and you really can't understand that the meaning of life is to burn." Where are you now, don't you plan to find a time to come back and talk to the Lord and catch up with the past? ”

Amon took a deep breath, walked against the side of the street, and said:

"County Diesi in the Kingdom of Rune."

"Oh, a coastal city, easy to defend and difficult to attack. What are you doing running on the territory of the octopus head, eating seafood? ”

“…… Really want to try the seafood pizza and pies. ”

Medici nodded: "Then I wish you a good time, it's okay if people don't come back, but remember to send some local specialties back." ”

Amon prayed, took out of his pocket the guidebook for the city of Connat, and continued to the seaside shop with "the best seafood pie in the country" of Rune, where he planned to settle up for dinner and stay for the night, and then continue south tomorrow to Diece Bay.

Recently, the international situation has been very tense, and the Spirit Order of the Southern Continent actually occupied three cities in one go (it is said that except for Aldra, the other two were occupied by natural disasters in the Southern Continent), and publicly announced the "restoration of the Byron Empire" in the international community, and the "Spirit Order was renamed the Church of the Reaper", and since then these three cities have been separated from the identity of Rune and Intis colonies.

This behavior caused an uproar, and countless people from the northern continent who settled in the southern continent ran back, which led to the development of seafaring tourism between the two lands, and the popularity of smuggling and black ships, which also brought a lot of income to the pirates.

To put it simply, Amon plans to go to the Southern Continent to get a little bit, because he hasn't seen the culture related to the "Grim Reaper" for a long time.

Anyway, he is now an unemployed traveler, and according to Amon's rules, he can walk around until he finds his next identity.

He looked at the guidebook and walked slowly along the sidewalk on the side of the street, when suddenly his spirit moved, and he turned to the side.

Opposite him, an ordinary-looking passer-by also made the same move, and the two of them faced each other sideways at the same time, a little embarrassed for a while.

Amon was stunned.

The Rune people on the opposite side were also suddenly stunned.

Slightly curly black hair, monocles, wide forehead...... Crane was taken aback,, Amon!

Gray mist? No, this is the breath of the spirit world, this is the Source Fort! The thread of the spirit, the "secret puppet master" of the sequence five who has just been promoted?

Amon was also surprised by the speed of the other party's promotion, and he didn't see 7 to 5 in half a year, he was Cleon Moretti!

How did Amon appear here, is it the law of extraordinary aggregation? I have to stay calm, and I might get the other person's attention if I run away, but he seems to know me...... Cryan resisted the urge to use the flame jump to escape, acting as casual as he could, smiling awkwardly at Amon quite normally, and then preparing to get out of the way.

To his surprise, Amon actually took a few steps back.

"Don't get too close to me." Amon is like a great enemy, "The power of the Source Fort in you is too obvious, I can't help but steal its ......"

Crane was so shocked that he suddenly reached into his pocket, only to see that the iron cigarette case on his body was gone!

There is a gold coin in the cigarette case, and inside the coin is Señol, the "Resentful Spirit"!

At this time, Amon took out the cigarette case from his pocket, and the two looked at each other, which suddenly became even more embarrassed.

"......" Amon looked at the iron box in his hand with a strong aura of Source Fort (so he couldn't help but steal it), and then looked at Crane with a very complicated expression, and hesitated slightly, "I am a thief, stealing is my instinct, I will not return the stolen things." ”

Crane stopped talking, and his brain went blank for a moment.

So my secret puppet is gone before it can be warmed up?! He stole Crane's idea.

Amon scratched his head, the Aurora Society's current policy seemed to be to have a good relationship with Crane, and he didn't really want to have a bad relationship with the "Future Mysterious" that the real creator believed. He thought for two seconds, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came up with a good idea: "In this way, you answer me a question, and I will return your cigarette case to you as a reward." ”

Will you give it back to me? Compared to the previous Amon who was directly wrapped around the "sun" with snakeskin and planned to smuggle in, the one in front of him was unexpectedly reasonable...... But why do the members of the Amon family seem to all look the same...... Crane took two steps back with some confusion and some wariness, and the two of them spoke almost five meters apart, looking very strange.

Amon didn't want to say anything to Krien, and the longer he stayed, the more worried he was that he wouldn't be able to resist doing something to Genbourg.

This "Secret Puppet Master" who walked around the Source Fort didn't realize how much temptation the gray mist and spiritual aura on his body seemed to be in the adjacent paths and high-level existences, and under the instinct of aggregation, even if he couldn't use the Source Fort, he couldn't help but try it.

So, he chose a random question:

"Where are you from in Deseyshire?"

Crane said cautiously: "At sea." ”

"Sea ......" Amon asked casually, but couldn't help but think, "There is a very interesting person at sea, an adventurer who has become famous with the wanted warrant, and he is actually called Sparrow...... It's the first time I've seen this surname, but I didn't expect there to be someone with this surname......"

After saying this to himself, Amon tossed the cigarette case over, and Crane caught it.

Hearing Amon's words, Crane only felt his heartbeat suddenly stop, he grabbed the cigarette case, and immediately turned around and left.

Amon suddenly thought of something, reached out and grabbed it, stealing the thought of leaving from Crane's mind.

"By the way, you're from the past, and you should have seen those movies." Amon said, "So you came up with the name Sparrow?" Or are you Gelman Sparrow? ”

He quickened his speech and said curiously, "So does Gelman mean anything by this name?" From what works? ”

Crane, who had been stolen five times in a row with the idea of "leaving", was still standing in place after half a minute, and he was very surprised by the difference in strength between them, but it was these words that Amon said that made Crane feel more complicated.

This Amon knows the "movie"? He actually watched the movie? Seen the Pirates of the Caribbean series?

She still knows about the "old era"?

Would a family member know so many complicated things?

"A game?" Amon stole the corresponding thought from Crane's head, "Also a single machine? Sounds like a lot of fun. ”

Crane realized that something was wrong, at first, he learned that the second son of the creator was named "Amon", and learned from history that there was a mysterious "blasphemous" family, "Amon" family, he subconsciously equated "Amon" with the other angel families, and tacitly agreed that the "Amon" who appeared in the Godforsaken Land and possessed the "sun" was one of the members of the family.

But in the Quaternary Mausoleum that was destroyed by the "Heart of the Machine", the Amon on on the "portrait of a family member" hung was exactly the same as the one he saw in the Godforsaken Land!

What's more, now he sees another Amon, an Amon with a different personality, but exactly the same appearance!

Is the "Amun family" only "Amon"? Only the original "second son of the Creator"? It's not like, the one in front of me shouldn't be the "Angel of Time...... Or is it that the Amon family exists in a way that is beyond my comprehension, replicants? The human body is refined?

Crane suddenly felt his brain go blank again.

Amon pinched his right eye socket and said in a deep voice, "It's not right, we are doppelgangers." ”

Doppelganger? Crane's face changed, and he realized that he couldn't even keep any privacy in front of Amun. In addition, he was also very shocked, because this Amon would actually answer his question! Is there such a big individual gap between Amun?

"......" Amun's expression was complicated.

Crane's eyes had completely revealed his thoughts, and even if he didn't steal, Amon could guess what he was thinking.

After thinking for a few seconds, Amon still said:

"I have to take responsibility for taking the source fort, I don't want to bear it, and I don't want to die, so I don't want the source fort either."

"But I've been told that other people may have a way to take the Source Fort and not take responsibility, so you have to be careful of your neighboring paths."

How could he still die? Crane was stunned for a moment, and asked tentatively:

"What kind of responsibility?"

Amon frowned: "...... Become a god and then protect the world? ”

Become a god? Becoming a god sounds very attractive, can you become a god if you get the source fort? Then I can understand what "Orange Light" Hilarion said to me, it is indeed a great temptation...... As for protecting the world, there is no such idea at the moment. And what is the matter with death, what kind of protection law is it to protect the world, and to build a church like a righteous god? The help of the real creator doesn't make sense, she's obviously an evil god...... Feeling that he had obtained one of the important pieces of the puzzle, Crane took two steps back with the cigarette case, and said solemnly to Amun:

"Thank you."

Amon was stunned: "No thanks." ”

Crane didn't dare to stay, he immediately turned around and left, he continued to use the power of the "Faceling", and disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye.

However, Amon could still clearly feel the power of the high level from the Source Castle, but instead of catching up, he silently watched the gray mist that symbolized the spiritual world get farther and farther away, and recalled the "thank you" just now with some disbelief.

"It's weird."

After a moment, Amon shook his head, put these strange feelings behind him, and made his way along the predetermined route towards "the best seafood pie in the country of Rune".

……

What a strange thing that Amun is...... What does he mean is that everyone in the "Amun family" is actually "Amon's doppelganger"? That is, the doppelganger of the "second son of the Creator", the "Angel of Time"? But they seem to have different personalities, could it be that "Angel of Time" Amon is actually a schizophrenic, split personality, or another kind of "secret puppet master", so that his doppelganger can adapt to different positions and produce different personalities and preferences?

Crane felt quite curious, but it didn't slow him down in conceiving a new identity and returning to Beckland.

His new character was completed very smoothly, and there is a huge difference from his existing identity, which can effectively prevent being associated.

Next, it's time to set off and return.

……

Woo!

A few days later, to the sound of a whistle, a long steam train clattered into Beckland.

Crane carried his suitcase and once again set foot on the land of "the capital of all cities" and "the land of hope", and found that the fog was much thinner than before, no longer obvious yellow, and the gas street lamps on the platform were not lit early to dispel the gloom and darkness.

Looking around, Crane exited the steam train station, changed to the subway and horse-drawn carriage, and went straight to a Storm Church cemetery outside the West End.

Then, for a small amount of money, he put the urn of the dead "Knight of Punishment" Ronzel from Grossell's Travels into a cabinet.

At this time, it had been more than 165 years since the Rune soldier left Bakeland.

Taking a step back and staring deeply for a moment, Crane shook the paper into iron and inscribed the other's name on the door.

He closed his eyes and wrote again:

"Every journey has an end."

——————

Ronzel's full name is Ronzel Edward. (Quite subtle)

The story of Grossell's Travels didn't get involved, so I didn't try to force her in.

Then, the story of Dawn Dantès officially begins.
