Chapter 528: A New Convention
822
"An attempt."
"An attempt?"
Antigonus frowned, there was no language barrier or communication barrier between them, because the source castle seemed to have translated the language into the type that was most familiar to each other. He himself is already a beast with a straightforward personality, but he will still become a top riddler under the influence of extraordinary characteristics, and now he is convinced that the other party is the "master of mysteries" in the face of this mysterious man who speaks completely unclear words.
He has been resurrected...... Not on me, but on ......
His gaze shifted slightly from Crane's, and he briefly glanced around, secretly frightened.
The gray mist that filled His eyes was hazy, blurry, and boundless. And in the center of this vast gray mist, in addition to the appearance of a temple or a court, a huge stone pillar supports a vast space, and the top is deep into the mist, surrounding this bronze long table with a simple pattern - Antigonus has never seen this design, although there is no information contained in it, but after staring at the pattern for a long time, he will still get dizzy.
The gray mist flowed like water, and the sky high was dotted with crimson "stars".
Some of them are large, some are small, some are hidden in the depths, and some are floating on the surface.
Antigonus looked at these red stars in a bit of a daze, and could feel that they corresponded to different spirits and things, which made him feel complicated, and even had an indescribable sense of frustration, and even wanted to laugh a little angrily - it turned out that there were many items in this world that were related to the "Source Fort", but only on the Source Castle could these related items be found.
Otherwise, they would not be able to find out the clues of these angelic kings!
How abominable this is!
The corners of Antigonus's mouth twitched, but he didn't laugh after all. He shook his head slightly,
If he was not mistaken, he came up this way.
This is undoubtedly the "Source Fort"βit's Him, Amon and Bethel who have been searching for the "Source Fort" that has been missing for thousands of years!
And the connection between him and the source castle is naturally the will of the "Lord of Mystery" awakened in him, but when he came to the Source Castle, in the face of the real "Lord of Mystery", those awakened in him naturally disappeared.
The "Master of Mystery" awakens directly inside the Source Castle? Did He wake up, or did essentia reawaken the will?
Antigonus had a lot to say in his heart, but in the face of this being at the top of the sequence, he still chose to keep silent.
However, Klein didn't intend to give him too many chances to be silent, after the other party subconsciously asked back, after a few seconds, Klein imitated the tone of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun, and said with a slight smile:
"I think you should know why you're here."
As he spoke, Klein felt as if he had returned to the beginning, re-becoming Zhou Mingrui, who was at a loss for Alger and Audrey on the gray fog, but couldn't show his timidity.
But time has passed, and he is now an angel, the future lord of mysteriesβhe can call himself and be him at any time.
Now, on top of the Source Fort, there is no need for him to be wary of the "half fool", but he should take advantage of the other party's current fear and nervousness, and calmly play to his advantages. After all, Fort Source is already his home turf, and he can do anything, he can help, he can give alms, he can torture the other party, or he can do nothing to watch him die, without the consent of Antigonus.
β but he still chose to talk to the other party.
It's like asking the Dogs of Fugen to collect nine spirit specialties for themselves, although it doesn't mean much to his promotion and future, but at least it shows Klein Moretti's own will.
That's enough.
Antigonus turned his head slowly, his height about the height of the "Lord of Mysteries" sitting on it, so that his eyes were almost level, and he did not have to think about whether he should bow or look up. Hearing this, the "half-fool" smiled and asked:
"I can't think of any other reason than my identity and uniqueness."
"But I also have a problem, I can aggregate the features, you should be able to, why would you bother to bring me in?"
As he spoke, Antigonus thought of something - the memory of Amon pushing the monocle and saying "interesting, interesting" came to his mind, and as soon as the image of this guy appeared, Antigonus immediately thought that the "Lord of Mystery" might also have the same bad personality as the "Angel of Time" - his eyes suddenly changed when he looked at the "Lord of Mystery", and a bad thought appeared in his heart.
"It can't be hospice...... Could it be that the Lord of Mysteries also has a penchant for appreciating food struggling to die? Amun's fellow, although it is understandable to treat the enemy, is really a table manners that people cannot admire. β
"......Shh It's really bad fun, you might as well just hang me up. β
He whispered a few words and continued to say nothing.
In this situation, he seems to have no other choice but to quietly wait for Fa Luo, unless he wants to die happily and try to provoke the Lord of Secrets to try to make the other party take his life, but Antigonus thought about his "secret couple", Amun's "parasite" and Bethel's "seal banishment" - these extraordinary abilities that are enough to make people live without asking for death, he feels that the Lord of Secrets must not be a personality who will simply kill people when he is angry, Maybe there will be even more torture at that time.
But He's already gotten there, he's become a dessert, so what's the difference between dying easily or tormenting......?
Crane looked at Antigonus, who was silent and thinking fiercely, and after a little emotion, he replied.
"Yes."
"You have no other value."
After saying this, Klein himself felt that he was too underwhelmed, and there was a kind of beauty that could drink two bottles of "provocateur" potion in one go.
But I have to say that this style of speaking is the most in line with everyone's impression of the "Lord of Mystery" - but since when has this essentia avatar been recognized as a person with a bad personality, who understands people's hearts very well, loves to torture, play and anger others, and likes to speak without finishing his words, and when combined it is like the existence of Amon PROMAX?
Probably because of the collective disgust of the outer gods, the ultra-low requirements of the demon of knowledge for him, and the high-order character performance of these three paths......
Based on Amon's natural character, there are also "Sophists", "Puppet Masters", "Fraudsters", "Thieves", ...... Judging from the names of the potions and so on, Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun can't be good at all, it will only be more terrible and terrifying!
β¦β¦ Antigonus let out a slightly heavier breath, and the green tendons on the back of his hand that had just calmed exploded again.
Such an assessment is a great shame for a man who has struggled to this day, even to become a "half-fool" for the sake of strength, despising his personality and treating him as a pure vessel of extraordinary characteristics. Therefore, the moment he heard the other party's words clearly, he was enraged by this sentence, and he almost had the urge to take the initiative to attack the master of mystery and strive to be killed directly by the other party.
"However, I also learned an interesting thing. Before you came here, I had an ongoing meeting to gather some extraordinary people to come here and have them trade or find a way to get something out of me. β
"At the beginning of my awakening, I randomly chose two humans to capture their memories and understand the current situation. And one of the bold humans said to me, 'Don't you think the format of the meeting is interesting?' Although your power is beyond our imagination, there are always areas in the world that you don't know and are not good at...... I also have my own experience, insight, access and resources, and she and I may be able to help you accomplish the trivial things that are inconvenient for you to do at some point in the future. ββ
Klein reminisced about the beginning of the most tarot meeting, and a rare playful smile appeared on his face, to Alger, and to him at that time:
"People are always so bold in ignorance."
bold enough to talk freely about the ideal of being extraordinary in front of an unidentified person in a high position and a stranger;
bold enough to ask a person in a position of high authority to open a 'party' for him with such straightforward words;
And, bold enough to dare to use the term "fool".
Antigonus was stunned for a moment, and the legendary "Rose of Redemption" flashed through his mind at an inopportune time.
As a country angel who was forced to flee with his sister because of the goddess of the night in the Third Age, and hid in the mountains of the Northern Continent for almost the entire era, Antigonus certainly did not have the opportunity to be invited to that feast, but this did not prevent him from learning the inside story and witnessing the horrific situation after the sun set in the top audience of the Northern Continent.
Thinking of this, he had to admire the "dark demon wolf" Kotal, although the other party was timid and good at escaping, and there was a bit of grass on the wall, but he dared to stay in the abandoned land of the gods where birds don't for hundreds of years, and Antigonus himself didn't dare.
However, the original "Rose of Redemption" was gathered by the ancient sun god in order to commit suicide, and they must all be gods and strong people close to the gods, but judging from the characteristics of the two paths adjacent to him, including the joking tone of the "Lord of Mysteries" himself when talking about the meeting just now, Antigonus did not think that the meeting itself had much gold content.
It shouldn't be a strong person, because an angel-level strong person will realize what kind of place this is.
But it shouldn't be too weak, because the weak are not worth playing with, even if it is an Amon clone, it will not play against the existence under the demigods, it is a pure waste of time.
Therefore, the most "fun" should be those who are in the middle sequence, around the demigods, who know a little about the mysterious world and don't know anything about the high-level, and it is the most interesting to play with these people who think they know a lot and have great qualifications and abilities.
"They did help me a lot, so I became more and more interested in the little game of 'equivalent exchange' for humans, and they profited from it, and they all respected me."
"Since I woke up, meetings have been held hundreds of times."
"Everyone takes what they need and looks forward to the weekly meeting."
When Klein recalled the words of the Tarot members and the nervous and restrained look they had when they first arrived, Antigonus had already laughed in his heart, and mourned for the poor little toys - he didn't think that the Lord of Secrets would seriously play this little game of equivalent exchange, and where in the world was there a standard of "equivalence"? What's more, this is the embodiment of the old days, even if the other party just says a few words casually and gives a rotten street knowledge, those little guys who get the information are estimated to be unable to pay it back if they sell their souls.
Besides, what does the Lord of Mysteries need?
If He had been releasing information without mentioning conditions, or even just offering the venue, those transactions would have unwittingly become His unilateral handouts, a game board that existed according to His preference.
"You'll give me your identity and uniqueness."
Crane said slowly, meeting Antigonus' gaze.
The other party couldn't see his eyes, but he also vaguely found the right position, stared at the gray mist on his face, and made the appearance of looking at him.
Antigonus smiled: "Yes, I have no choice. β
"But your presence here now means that I will also give you a chance to exchange for the equivalent."
Klein's brief answer quickly disappeared into the majestic temple and the thick mist, but it set off a storm in Antigonus's heart, and the words echoed for a long time, stirring up ripples after circles.
"Equivalent Exchange ......"
Hearing this, Antigonus was silent for a long timeβnot too long, but for Him, it had been a long time.
After a while, the "Half Fool" slowly released his fist, let out a long sigh, and looked up at the gray mist figure again:
"What shall I call you?"
Klein felt the scene in front of him feel more and more familiar, as more than one person had questioned him about it. And after hearing this, his fingers on the long bronze table tapped lightly twice. Then he leaned back, withdrew his right hand, crossed his fingers against his chin, and looked at Antigonus with a smile and said:
"You can call me ......"
Speaking of this, he paused, and spoke in a soft and flat tone:
"Fool."
When the "half-fool" heard this, he pursed his lips, but he didn't say anything. The wolf was in the source fort and had to bow his head.
Klein wanted to look away a little weakly, he also felt that his behavior today was enough to stabilize the character and patch what he had done before, and by the way, he also made Antigonus angry again and again - the other party's star spirit body was crawling with angry red before, and the appearance of a big red lantern like a human figure Klein still remembered it vividly.
Antigonus was a little more active in communication than he had just been, and he asked bluntly:
"How much is my soul worth? How much is my extraordinary identity and uniqueness worth? β
"If I want Badheil to die, what else should I give?"
After saying this, He added another sentence very self-consciously:
"I can't get anything else, my family should have countless treasures, but in the thousands of years that I have been asleep, they should have been uprooted by Amanisis one by one. Even if you want more, I don't have anything more for you. β
At last, Antigonus pursed his lips and suddenly asked:
"Is there any of my descendants alive?"
"The house of Abraham is still secretly circulating, but what about my descendants? Do they know where their blood comes from? Do they remember their original last name? β
Klein did not answer, nor did he let Antigonus do the divination on the source castle, but he said calmly:
"The Church of the Night used the 'Antigonus Puppets' to find your descendants."
Antigonus's face changed and changed, and finally fell silent again.
"Even if they were, they had long forgotten who they were, their ancestors, the pride of their family...... Then they are no longer my descendants, so let them live in such ignorance. β
Klein didn't answer the sentence, and he pulled the question back to the beginning:
"Whether you are worth more when you are alive or you are more valuable when you are dead is something that needs to be observed."
"Other than that, barely enough."
"You need subordinates? Do you need an acolyte? Considering that the Lord of Mysteries would not need an anchor, and that it was most likely impossible to build a church, Antigonus, who was on the "soothsayer" route, immediately thought of the Sequence One Potion. He wasn't surprised, but shook his head calmly, "If you want an acolyte, you can choose Bethel, he has culture and taste. Although I don't have any human aesthetics, I also know that His image is good, and I have no interest in living anymore, so you can make me a secret puppet. β
Klein was a little surprised:
"You don't want to live?"
He didn't want the other party's life, but he didn't expect the other party to die himself.
He even recommended Bethel again and again......
Antigonus shook his head again: "If you need an acolyte, you can let Bethel do it." β
"I just want to die and be a part of history and be reunited with my sister, brother and father in the fog of history."
"I've been sleeping in Hornachis, I've been out of it for too long. I longed to die, I longed to sleep, I longed to go home, even if it was just to see them one last time. β
Crane fell silent for a moment.
Then he put up the shelf of the Lord of Mysteries again, and said with a light smile:
"Okay."
