He knows?

How could he possibly know!?

After understanding the meaning of that sentence, Douglas's whole body froze in place as if struck by lightning.

He wanted to rush over and grab Amon by the collar and shake it, ask a lot of questions, and completely understand the truth about his "crossing". But the remaining sanity told him that this was a high-ranking powerhouse that he couldn't provoke, and that he had better not do anything excessive.

And after the first few dizzying shocks of the news, which were nothing less than a blow to the head, Douglass calmed down strangely.

If you think about it, Amon said that he could steal the thoughts in my head, so there is no reason why he can't steal the memories of the past, after all, it is impossible for me to feel a sequence three, and I can't rule out the possibility that he is a white wolf with empty gloves......

As he pondered, Amon sighed clearly, or rather deliberately.

"Why do you think I'm willing to sit down with you to negotiate a deal instead of directly threatening you with the lives of those people downstairs?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

With a "snap", the gas lamp lit in the room suddenly shook twice, and then suddenly went out.

Not only this room, Douglas could see through the window behind Amon that the lights and lights in all the surrounding houses, even the street lamps on the street, were all engulfed in darkness the moment his fingers fell.

The crimson moonlight poured down, accompanied by many voices of surprise and doubt, some of whom had already stepped out of their homes to check on the neighborhood or discuss the sudden accident with their neighbors.

In a faint whisper from the window, Douglas gasped and said in a trembling voice, "Here, this is Beckland North!" It's the domain of the Church of the Night! ”

"So what?" Amon asked rhetorically.

Douglas choked for a moment. This was the first time Amon had shown a willingness to threaten during the conversation, and he seemed to be fearless. He couldn't be sure if the other party was fading, but there was no way he could gamble on Amon's conscience with the lives of innocent people in the entire neighborhood, not to mention his only family member in this world.

He immediately made up his mind and pleaded, "I see, please forgive me for the speculation of my offense, and I will cooperate!" ”

"Good."

With Amun's slightly smiling voice, the stolen candles were returned in the blink of an eye, and the ordinary people outside the window let out a few cheers and sighs, and returned to their daily lives unharmed.

The re-brightening of the room did not give Douglas any sense of security, and he could feel a cold sweat running down his forehead, and in fear and awe, he unconsciously remembered an old admonition:

"Do not tempt God"!

He learned from Russell's diary that in ancient times, sequence two and above could be called gods, although Amon had not yet reached the angelic level, but it was only one step away. In any case, there is only one way to go, to obey the other party...... A huge mixture of powerlessness and exhaustion, fear, and grievance accumulated in his chest, making him feel like he couldn't breathe. He glanced at the notarial deed that had been placed on the table, covered with the symbols of the Sun Realm, and wondered what fate awaited him.

"I allow you to ask one last question." Amon, who sensed his negative emotions, raised a finger and shook it in front of people, "Don't be afraid, I've always, well, always been a tolerant person." ”

Well, at least judging by the results...... Douglas barely bothered to brace himself, combing through the information Amon had revealed before, and suddenly noticed a blind spot, and asked in a respectful tone: "You said that there are many people who have shared my experience...... So why did you choose me? ”

Amon replied lightly, "Because you're 'lucky' enough." ”

…… Fortunate? Douglas almost couldn't hold back his head to make sure the other man wasn't joking. He couldn't help but think back to his experience of traveling so far, not to mention that he was almost killed at the beginning, and recently he was targeted by demons one after another, attacked by evil god sculptures, and was troubled by the old boss of the secret organization, and was forced to be a second or fifth boy...... This, where is this lucky?

He was full of doubts, but Amon didn't mean to explain further, he tapped his finger at the notarial deed, and said, "In the extraordinary world, high-level knowledge represents power and pollution. There are many things that you don't know enough in your sequence, such as the 'truth' that you care about the most.

"So to complete this deal, I'll help you boost the sequence until you can handle the corresponding information."

Receiving the surprised gaze, Amon smiled and pushed the monocle in his right eye, looking indifferent: "I said, this deal is very beneficial for you." And all you have to do is recite my name and become my believer; and not being able to voluntarily inform others of my existence. ”

"Be your ...... Believer? Douglas repeated completely incomprehensibly, and his expression suddenly became strange, "That, I, my current social identity is a priest of the Mother Earth God Church, and I am also a shallow believer of Mother Earth God......"

He is a shallow believer, but the circumstances in which he lived for more than 20 years in his previous life made it difficult for him to pay so-called "piety" to believe in the gods, even if it was an extraordinary and prosperous world. In addition to passing through the fate of the early days, for Douglas, it is more like finding a company with a very appetizing corporate culture, and there is no superfluous emotion except for due diligence. Even if there were, it would be paid to Antonia and other colleagues, not to a god with a three-foot head on his head.

But Amun's request for him to become a believer would obviously not be to the extent of such perfunctory work...... Douglas was skeptical that he could do it.

"You can keep your job and social connections, and they won't find out." Amun, who had already investigated clearly, said indifferently, "But at least during the transaction, I must be the only object of your faith." As for how to become a qualified 'believer', you can treat it as a play and digest it slowly. ”

Play? Can this also be played? Douglas was dazed for a moment, and then decided not to bother much, since Amon said yes, then he could!

"Finally, you can use a notarial deed to make a constraint or requirement for me."

With Amun's words, the corresponding ancient Hermetian language appeared in the blank space of the notarial deed, surrounded by many symbols, divided into two columns, the obligations and remuneration of the parties to the transaction. After a brief thought, Douglas looked at Amon and said tentatively, "My request is...... You can't do anything to the people around me during trading. ”

"Are you sure?" Amun, who heard such a request, keenly sensed that the other party was trying to exploit some loopholes, and the "people around you" were too vague, and the scope of "anything" was too wide...... But he doesn't hate this kind of cleverness, rather, no one likes the existence of loopholes more than him, "even if you regret it in the future, the notarial deed can't change what is recorded." ”

"Sure!" Douglas was the first to reach out and press the notarial deed to communicate the magical object spiritually, and solemnly swore according to the contents of it.

This is the most direct constraint he can think of in a short period of time, after all, you can't leave a sage there and say I'll hire a lawyer to plan it first. In a hurry, he could only expand the scope of restraint as much as possible, so that Amon had no reason to make a move against ordinary people.

As the words are spit out, the symbols and magic symbols on the right half of the notarial deed light up one after another, blooming with a bright and warm light. Those rays of light joined together into a seal-like image, and they were directly plunged into Douglas's spiritual body, bringing a warm current.

Amon then entered into a contractual relationship with the notarial deed. Both could feel a subtle but invisible connection to each other.

"The deal is done."

He clapped his hands with ease, looked at Douglas, who had almost written the words "Love in Life" on his face, and said, "Remember my honorific name: 'The hand of time, the shadow of fate, the embodiment of deceit and mischief.......'"

In the luxurious villa of Viscount Gleilint in Queens of Beckland, a social evening common among nobles is in the middle of the game.

As the host, Viscount Glerint could not leave every guest in the cold, and after the opening dance, he would wander between various small circles from time to time with misty champagne to join in the conversation, set off the atmosphere, or help people introduce each other, and only after a while of being busy did he get free time.

In the living room area with the sofa, Glerint saw several of his familiar friends, including Audrey, the daughter of the Earl of Hall, Conse, the youngest son of Viscount Learson, and several other noble heirs, who were discussing something. He handed the empty glass to the waiter passing by, exchanged it for a glass of red wine, and leaned over to greet his friends more relaxedly: "It is a great honor to see you enjoying this happy evening. ”

Seeing the arrival of the host of the banquet, the friends naturally expressed their full welcome. Glerint sat down and leaned back in a casual manner, motioning for his friends to continue their conversation and to rest for a while.

So at the center of the previous conversation, Connor, who served in MI9, coughed lightly twice, and continued the previous topic with a slightly lowered voice: "This civil unrest in Vösak is not simple. There are now three forces in Fersak, namely: the Einhorn family of the royal family of Fersak, the Church of the God of War, and the apostate faction that colludes with the secret organization. In just one month, the royal heirs have been assassinated twice by apostates, and now the atmosphere in their territory is very solemn......"

"Oh, the savage Vrsaks are to blame......

"These giants of the north are too greedy, and now they have finally eaten their own bitter fruits......

"Does this mean that we will have a chance to reclaim the fertile land on the east bank of Byron?"

The all-out war with Fursack ended less than two years ago, and many people still remember the hatred it brings, and it was at that time that many sons of nobles like Connor who served in the military first appeared on the brutal battlefield. Therefore, after hearing the news of the civil unrest in Vösak, many people looked at it with a gloating attitude.

The slightly more mature Glerint focused on something more tangible: "Apostate? That is, this civil strife was caused by the split in the Church of the God of War? ”

"That's the most direct reason we can see." Connor carefully chose his words, although the people present were all the sons of noble nobles of high status, and it would not hurt to reveal a little inside information, but he was a major in MI9 and knew which parts he couldn't say a word, "But—the Einhorn royal family also plays an important role in this, if it weren't for their gap with the God of War Church...... In short, sooner or later, a civil war on a national scale would break out. ”
