Chapter 346: Surprise!
Beckland, North End, Underground of St. Samuel's Church.
Leonard, who had just had a case discussion with the 'Substitute Punisher', the 'Machine Heart', and the MI9 members, returned to his office and sat down.
Although they didn't know why the airship unit of the Fusak Empire suddenly turned, it was a real relief for them. At least that means that Beckland will not continue to be bombed, and casualties and chaos will not continue to expand.
At this moment, the slightly aged voice of Parles Zoroyaster echoed in his mind:
"They have found the exact location of the Jacob family's treasure."
"Huh?" Leonard was stunned for a moment, unable to react.
But he soon remembered that he had had crossed paths with Ash Black and Dawn Dantès not long ago, at a dinner party hosted by a councillor to which he and Mobeth Zoroaster had sought promotion.
The purpose of both sides is the same, which is to find and hunt the demigod of the 'thief' path.
Leonard didn't know either of them, and although he suspected that Dawn Dantès was Klein Moretti, he had no evidence. On the other hand, Mobet Zoroaster, on the other hand, obviously knows both sides and has a close relationship.
Eventually, the demigod was successfully hunted by Ash Black.
I thought that this was the end of the matter, but the other party took the initiative to contact Mobet - the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 4 could not be given to him, but the other party gave Mobet an information.
That was the hunted demigod, a descendant of the house of Jacob.
In the Quaternary period, the Tudor dynasty had five great angelic families, Abraham, Amun, Antigonus, Tamara, and Jacob, whose ancestor was also an angel of the 'thief' path!
Prior to the Fifth Age, Amun, the king of angels, had only one of the extraordinary properties and uniqueness of Sequence 1.
The other two Sequence 1 have remarkable properties in the ancestors of the House of Pales Zoroasd and Jacob.
But at the end of the Quaternary Period, Amon launched a hunt for these two angels, and the ancestors of the Jacob family were missing, and it was likely that they had been successfully hunted by Amun, and Pales was also severely injured because of this, and had to parasitize and avoid Amun's pursuit.
The fall of the ancestors undoubtedly caused these two archangelic families to suffer heavy losses, even worse than the Abrahamic family.
Although it is difficult for the Abraham family to give birth to middle and high order extraordinary, at least there is a complete inheritance.
But the House of Zoroaster and the House of Jacob have almost completely disappeared.
And from the memory of the demigod, it can be known that the other party is the last descendant of the Jacob branch where he belongs!
And the reason why she came to Beckland was to find a treasure of the Jacob family.
It was a treasure left by an angel of the Jacob family, and if the other party could find that treasure, he would have the hope of advancing to Sequence 3 or even higher.
As for Parles Zoroaster, if he could obtain the extraordinary properties of that treasure, he would also be able to regain some of his strength. Therefore, he is equally impressed with this treasure.
But the old man was obviously very cautious, he did not explore it himself, and he also prevented Leonard and Mobet from exploring, but asked Leonard to sell this information to the Destiny Hermit Society, and let the people of the Destiny Hermit Society use it as cannon fodder to explore the treasure.
Leonard finally reacted, but inexplicably felt that something seemed wrong, frowned and asked:
"Why did they make a sudden move? Could there be any pitfalls? ”
Parles Zoroyaster smiled:
"Although the location of that treasure is hidden, if you rush to explore it, it is easy for the official extraordinary person to find a flaw, and then it will only be empty. And now, the war that Fursack has unleashed and the official extraordinaries have no time to pay attention to them, which is undoubtedly the perfect time, and they will certainly choose this time to explore the treasure. ”
"As for traps, how can a treasure left behind by a 'thief' angel not have a trap? But have you forgotten that I am also an angel of the 'thief' pathway. ”
Leonard was relieved to hear the old man's explanation, and then asked with some curtle:
"That ......"
Guessing what he was going to say, Parles sneered and said:
"Don't worry, in addition to that extraordinary characteristic, I also got you a seal."
"That's good."
Leonard breathed a sigh of relief, though the Night Church also had a lot of seals.
But none of those things can be called casually, and even if they are borrowed, there is a strict time limit.
And for Leonard, who is desperate to improve his strength, it is crucial to have a 'Level 1' seal of his own.
And this treasure is the perfect opportunity.
"You'd better get out of here first."
The old voice of Parles Zoroasd sounded again:
"The Church of the Night will most likely send an angel to Beckland, and it will take some time for me to digest that extraordinary characteristic, and I may make some moves."
"Okay."
Leonard frowned, he still felt a little strange, but nodded in response. Quietly stood up, rubbed his forehead, and left St. Samuel's Church and returned to 7 Pinster Street.
As soon as he passed through the porch, he suddenly saw a person sitting on the couch.
The man, dressed in a classical black robe and a peaked floppy hat, rested his right foot on his left leg, was leisurely reading a newspaper.
As if sensing Leonard's arrival, the man lifted his head and straightened the monocle he was wearing in his right eye, smiling playfully.
Amon!
'Blasphemer' Amun!
At this moment, Leonard's thoughts were almost completely frozen, his mind went blank, and only a few thoughts could be turned.
At this moment, Amon's lips twitched, and he spat out a whisper that belonged entirely to the divine level.
In Leonard's mind, one voice after another instantly echoed, as if from countless Amun:
"Surprise? Accidental? ”
"After discovering that I couldn't get the 'Source Fort' in a short period of time, I shifted my focus to you."
"Ah yes, Pales, I forgot to tell you that for a long time in the late Quaternary period, I pretended to be the ancestor of the House of Jacob, and I had already secretly devoured him, and then watched his descendants panic and find a way to attach another secret treasure to the place where Tudor became the 'Blood Emperor'......"
"I didn't address these guys because I had a hunch that this treasure would be useful, I have a doppelganger who has been sleeping there for more than a thousand years, patiently waiting for someone to open the treasure............"
"To truly determine your whereabouts, I watched the group break traps, take items, watch your doppelganger steal traits and seals from them, watch him devour and digest them carefully, and now, patience has finally paid off......"
"Ah, by the way, I forgot to ask you, don't you think it's all a coincidence?"
"Coincidence?"
A thought came to Leonard's mind subconsciously - '0-08'.
He said there was something wrong, because it was all a coincidence!
The war just broke out, and the Hermit of Destiny would just take this opportunity to explore the treasure, and it happened to be discovered by Pales, who happened to have an angel descending on Bakeland, and Pales was worried about being discovered, so he let him go home first!
And most importantly, it all happened quite plausibly - the outbreak of war left the official Extraordinary unskilled, so the Hermit of Destiny would explore the treasure, and this development was almost a matter of course.
It was also because of the outbreak of war that the angels of the Night Church came, which was to prevent the angel dogs of Fursack from jumping off the wall.
In other words, the epidermis of these coincidences is almost all inevitable, which is why it is difficult for people to perceive the 'coincidences'!
The stinging pain that wriggled throughout his body brought Leonnard back to reality, his spirit body tainted by the whispers of Amun's divinity, and the tearing of his soul caused his body to undergo an irrepressible mutation—his head expanded and contracted in substance, leaving a tuft of short black hair growing on his face, and his ribs and waist squirming with bulging flesh, as if to form new limbs.
With just a few babblings, Leonard was close to losing control, in agony, and completely incapable of fighting.
This is the Son of the Creator, this is the King of Angels.
At the same time, No. 7 Pinster Street changed, and the dark stone pillars stood up at some point.
It holds up a majestic church.
Every pillar of this church, every arch, and every dome was inlaid with the white bones of different races, and they were densely packed together in a very chaotic manner, staring with empty eyes at Leonard, who was slightly small in the center of the hall, as if he were on trial.
Amon stood in front of the cross hundreds of meters high in the depths of the church, smiled at Leonard, who was bent over and had a distorted expression, and said:
"This church of bones isn't bad, right? I stole it not long ago, and he doesn't need it now anyway. In this way, if they want to find out that there is an anomaly here, the gods will come down, at least thirty seconds delay, and that is enough. ”
He originally wanted to steal the Source Fort, after all, the level of the Source Castle was far above the extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness of Sequence 1.
But unfortunately, Amon is well aware that it is almost impossible to steal the Source Fort from a Sequence 2 'miracle master'.
Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, the extraordinary ability of the 'thief' to pass through the angel is extremely strange, and he can parasitize and clone and steal fate. But for Amun, the angel of the 'soothsayer' path was one of his hated enemies.
Not because of how strong the angels of the 'soothsayer' path are, but because they are very capable of running!
Their essence can hide in the pores of history at any time, and they can move through a large number of historical pores, and as long as the history they know is hidden enough, even the gods have nothing to do with them.
And even if they are lucky enough to pull them out of the holes in history, they still have one last trick -
Suicide.
As long as they commit suicide, the extraordinary properties of their destroyed bodies can unconsciously enter the pores of history, combine with the projections of 'spirit worms' from the past, give them substance, and then emerge from the fog of history and reorganize their bodies in the real world and resurrect.
And this is also known as 'resurrection from the dead', and this miracle is essentially a deep exploitation of the power of the past.
But just like the resurrection of the Black Emperor, this 'resurrection from the dead' cannot be stopped even by the gods.
In other words, even if Amon is lucky enough to force Klein to a dead end, the other party can run away directly if he commits suicide.
Taking 10,000 steps back, even if Amon really stole the Source Fort from Crane, it would be impossible for him to stay in the Source Fort. After all, the Source Fort had been contaminated by flames, and if he dared to enter, there was only one possibility that he would be burned to ashes.
So Amon decisively abandoned the Source Fort and instead set his sights on the extraordinary properties of the last Sequence 1.
Only by first obtaining the extraordinary characteristics of the last Sequence 1 and becoming the true god of Sequence 0 can he be qualified to snatch the ownership of the Source Castle!
For this reason, Amon made a decisive choice, he didn't plan to do anything to Klein from beginning to end, just used a doppelganger to delay time with the other party.
And in the meantime, His essence has crept into Beckland in search of Pales Zoroaster!
And just as he thought, Parles didn't know anything about it, and he naively thought that he could take this opportunity to regain his strength.
——
"Huh."
Klein sighed softly and silently prayed for the poet's classmates in the bottom of his heart. Since Amon was not with him, he must have gone to find Pales.
In this way, the poet's classmates, as the parasitic object of Parles, must be in a very dangerous situation.
After all this time, Amon may have succeeded in all his successes.
The only thing Klein could do was pass the news to Ember through the Source Castle, hoping that Ember would have time to stop this.
Even if you can't stop it, it's good to be able to save Leonard.
As for himself—
Klein walked over to Amon and stood on the edge of a deep ravine, looking at the gray building below, silent.
Amon stood motionless and asked with a smile:
"Can you let me say one last word before turning me into a secret puppet."
Klein said casually:
"You can speak your mind."
While Amon stalled for time, Klein certainly wasn't idle.
He had already controlled all of the other party's spirit line, and the clone in front of him was already his quasi-secret puppet, and it could not pose any threat to him.
Amun's fingers moved slightly, as if he wanted to raise his hand to be a monocle. But his body was already Klein's secret puppet, and he couldn't make any movements, so he had to show a somewhat helpless expression and said:
"The extraordinary traits of Zarathu and Antigone are in your hands, and your current state is similar to mine, both of which are short of the last Sequence 1 extraordinary trait. So what if I told you that this last Sequence 1 extraordinary trait is in Godforsaken? ”
Crane's expression remained unchanged, and he looked at Amon calmly, with an expression of 'you go on, I'm listening'.
"At the same time you came into this world, Kotal was given a curtain that contained the extraordinary properties of the last Sequence 1 of the 'Fool' path."
"Oh, by the way, Kotal is a dark wolf, and the only one left in this world."
The corners of Amon's mouth raised slightly:
"After all this time, you have grown into a Sequence 2 angel, so do you think he has completed the ritual of being promoted to 'Mysterious Attendant'?"
