Chapter 135: A New King Is Born
"Outside of the nickname, a new pirate king is born!"
A voice rang out, the voice of a newsboy on the streets of Beckland who was selling a new issue of a daily newspaper. The sound was crisp and bright, like a flower that had just grown out of the soil.
The midday sun poured down on the newly built streets of Beckland and into the living room through the Macht family's mansion. The newsboy's voice came from the outside in, reaching the ears of several people in the room.
"A new pirate king has been born?"
Hazel was immediately intrigued, looking at her parents and the young teacher beside her who was smiling gently, and just blurted out regret: this was not something she would normally be interested in.
Fortunately, the monocle-cloaked teacher and her parents across from her did not seem to notice that Hazel had behaved differently than before, and before Senator Macht could speak, the teacher said to her:
"I heard that this is a pirate from the Aurora Society, who killed the long-established 'Immortal King' Agaritu, and appeared in the harbor on the border of Rune the other day. Anyone who saw him would be able to recognize the ship he was on, followed by the 'Death', which had shrunk by one. ”
"Aurora Will? The evil sect that created the Beckland Catastrophe? Councillor Makht's wife gently covered her mouth, showing a look of surprise. Councillor Makht nodded, and said with a slightly serious face:
"That's not good news. After he became the king of pirates, I am afraid that it will cause even greater disasters to the kingdom. ”
After finishing speaking, the officer, who had once come from East Bailang, shrugged his shoulders and said with a little helplessness in his tone: "Fortunately, His Majesty did not announce that Rune should be withdrawn from the colonies of the Southern Continent, otherwise the people of these colonies would have no way to resist the attack of pirates. ”
Councillor Mahert's tone was relaxed and sincere, as if he was saying something sincere, but Amon just looked at Councillor Makht quietly, and a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth:
"Indeed."
He clapped his palms lightly and said sincerely to Councilor Macht in front of him, "This is thanks to His Majesty the Emperor?" We have brought civilization to the southern continent. ”
"Well, it's not too early." Maury Mahert nodded solemnly and bowed slightly to Amon in front of him: "Mr. Jacob, let's go over there and talk first?" ”
"Okay."
Amon pushed his monocle, smiled and followed Councillor Macht to the small room next to him.
He looked at the cage covered with red cloth not far from him—it was Amun, a sequential two-person who had come to Backerland at the behest of his own body to "play a game."
According to the ontology, this is an attempt to verify the feasibility of human nature, and this Amon is happy to be idle—it is better than cowering in the forsaken land and hiding from his father. Moreover, Backerland has a copy of the Sequence Four traits of the Jacob family, which comes from some idle outer god.
Therefore, looking at the hypocritical look of this human being, this god of deception couldn't help but think:
"It's amazing to be human."
"The outer gods can also have a human nature, but they are more honest and unwilling to lie."
And this human being so naturally whitewashes what he sees with lies, and is happy to convince others, to make himself believe it—is this how a weak creature like a human being survives? Interesting ......"
It was precisely because he felt his own insignificance in front of the outer gods that Amun, who was extremely cautious, finally chose to pick up the human nature that he had disdained to understand before.
In his view, the Higher-Dimensional Seeker's attempt to invade Earth would almost certainly succeed, and what he could do in the end would only depend on the response of his two fathers and the other gods on Earth. But in any case, He has invaded the earth, and the outer gods have invaded the earth, and this is already a definite result.
So, Amon was afraid.
He feared that the Lord of Secrets would return in some way, as if he had awakened in Antigoneus; He feared that Mr. "Gate", who had returned from heaven, was already a fallen Mother Goddess; Fear that the outer gods adjacent to their own path will project power into the Earth, killing themselves to obtain the uniqueness of the "wrong" path, and the extraordinary nature of Sequence One.
Therefore, in Amun's view, it is essential to be able to maintain the humanity that mankind has developed in that era of strife and turmoil. They are distinctly weak in strength, but they are able to defeat some powerful races that are born mythical creatures; Even his father and the ancient sun god revered humanity and wished he could learn it.
- It's ridiculous, even if you are a natural god, you can also respect human nature?
Amon also pondered whether it was necessary for him to listen to his father to learn about so-called human nature.
Although his brother Adam always thought that Amon was pleased with this, Amon did not think that Adam could be considered his father. In his view, Adam was closer to God than the man who sometimes said something inexplicably weak, and let himself be born.
After obtaining the faith belonging to Moon City, Amon felt that this was actually a very strange thing:
They simply switched from believing in the ancient sun god to believing in themselves, all because they saved them—is this belief really strong? Do you really need these beliefs?
Do they believe in their fathers—just because they need them to protect them, or do they see it as a form of spiritual entertainment? Is this the same as the enjoyment of torturing these "bugs" yourself?
Amun's pride led Him to reject these anchors and separate the gods they believed in from Himself. He wanted to destroy Mooncity outright, but in the end he found it useful to keep the followers of Mooncity for himself.
Under the control of absolute power, Amon felt that he was no different from the weak creatures he looked down on—he was just a worm in the eyes of the outer gods.
He even missed a little of the time when his father was still whole, when he was carefree and mischievous to the Medici.
……
"Hazel, try to see if you can ask for the identity of this governess of yours. It's possible that he's someone in my family. ”
The mouse demigod of the Jacob family said a little hurriedly to Hzyel who was carrying the cage beside her, she was not in a good state, and she couldn't even tell whether this person was a surviving demigod of her own family or a low-ranking member of the Jacob family. However, the arrival of this "thief" is also good news for her.
If she is a demigod of the family, then there is a high probability that she will be saved in her current state, and she will at least be able to leave the city; If it's a lowly member of the family. The mouse demigod also didn't mind parasitizing him and letting him contribute a little to the revival of the Jacob family.
After all, sacrificing one's life for the sake of a noble demigod is also a supreme honor for such people.
The rat demigod thought as a matter of course, and couldn't help but start looking forward to what kind of identity this young teacher would be.
After a few moments, there was a knock on Hazel's door. Hazel was slightly silent, and said to the servant at the door:
"Bring him in."
Lying in the cage, the mouse demigod who was covered with a red cloth on the outside of the cage and looked like a small pet of a nobleman's family moved his body slightly, and swept his eyes towards the young man who had come in with the servant.
Yes, this trait is indeed a member of the Jacob family...... The mouse demigod told Hazel the news according to the previously agreed code, and Hazel paused for a moment, then raised his head slightly and said to his servant:
"You get out."
The servant nodded, not daring to disobey his young lady's order, closed the door and walked out. Amon had a smile on his face and bowed slightly to Hazel:
"Miss Hazel—your father has told me your name, and I have a feeling that you have a friend I know well, and I wonder if I can ask her to come out and meet her?"
Amun's tone was sincere, and he looked at the cage behind Hazel out of the corner of his eye, which also made Hazel, as a "decryption scholar", even more sure that the sincere young man in front of him was a member of his teacher's family.
Although she was a little reluctant to give up her teacher, Hazel still hoped that her teacher would be able to break the seal and get out of his current state from the mouse's body.
It's just that I don't know if I'll have the opportunity to meet the demigod and half-human teacher in the future......
Hazel was in a slightly sad trance, watching the sun set, and the already slightly reddened sunlight shone into her room. These afterglows painted a blush on the faces of herself and the teacher in front of her, and she nodded, looking at Amon with a smile on her face:
"Teacher Amon, have you finally broken free from the seal?"
"Thank you for telling me to bring me here." The corners of Amon's mouth turned up slightly, and he pushed his monocle, "My strength has now regained and I can use your status as a tutor to teach you formally. ”
"yes, okay, I got it." Hazel nodded, and her mood was slightly excited, as if it was not her teacher who lifted the seal, but herself: "Teacher, about the pirate general and the pirate king mentioned in the news in the morning before......"
"If you're interested, I'll tell you more about it next time I teach, Hazel. The occult world is still vast, and you still have a lot to learn. ”
Amon smiled gently, "It's just that time is running out today, so I'll tell you about the 'King of Aurora' who has just become the king of pirates." ”
"He is a member of the Aurora Society, a servant of the true Creator. For an extraordinary person like you, who hides your identity and has your own family in the city, once the 'Aurora King' is close to the city, you are in great danger......
"Because ......"
——
"How did you find me? How are the rest of the family doing? ”
The mouse demigod said to Amon in front of him with a hurried expression, after the member of the Jacob family in front of him showed a hand of "parasitism", the mouse demigod knew that the one in front of him was one of the few remaining demigods of the Jacob family.
She naturally ignored the idea that she wanted to parasitize him, and instead asked the rest of the family in a sincere tone.
"I heard that there is a treasure left by the family here, I was going to look for it, but I didn't expect to find you." Amon said to the mouse demigod, and there was some sadness in his tone: "Frolla, you disappeared before, and we all thought you were captured by Amon, but why are you here in such a state now?" ”
"Good thing you didn't go - that treasure is a trap left behind by Amon!"
The mouse demigod Flora Jacob completely let down her guard after Amon said her name, and said with some annoyance in her tone:
"I was sealed there, and I could only parasitize on rats, but Amon couldn't find me, so I seized the opportunity to cultivate an extraordinary person in this path here. After that, if you don't come, I'm going to parasitize on her. ”
"Then you're not going to parasitize now? Are you soft-hearted? Amon looked at Flora and seemed to suddenly become interested. As far as He knew, demigods were the first dividing line between man and God, and the first threshold on the road to godhood.
He wanted to know what the young demigod's view of humanity was like today.
"How is that possible?" Flora made a somewhat hideous smile with her ugly mouse face: "Although Hazel is very talented, it seems a little early to harvest her. But I'm not going to stay in this city and give Amon more opportunities. ”
Her implication was that she would not waste this extraordinary trait and prepare to "parasitize" it.
"That's what you think...... Amon nodded thoughtfully and pushed his monocle: "Then why don't you give her to me?" ”
"Do you want the extraordinary traits in her, too?" Flora hesitated for a moment, and said to Amon as if she were cutting meat:
"Well, if only you could get me out of the city and keep me away from Amun—I can give you this 'decryption'."
Wait a minute...... Why does he wear monocles? The members of our family must hate this......
Flora watched Amun's movements and suddenly felt something was wrong. Her pupils constricted slightly, and she wanted to take advantage of her small size to escape from here.
But the next moment, the white circle was directly imprinted on her right eye, causing her body to pause obediently.
The next moment, she and Amon looked at each other and smiled, revealing the same weird smile.
"Harvest a demigod's extraordinary characteristics, but I don't feel any difference in humanity between her and me, is this the norm for demigods? I haven't been through this stage......" Amon pursed his lips slightly, lost in thought.
He was like a child who had found a fun toy, and after a brief moment of dissatisfaction, the corners of his mouth were hooked again:
"Looks like I need more samples of the demigods...... I also need to thank the High Seeker for giving me such a gift. ”
He looked at the mouse demigod in front of him and sneered:
"Awesome, awesome."
"When did you get the illusion that you were far away from me?"
I feel a little strange about Amon's state. If you want to say that He has a human nature, He has a little, but basically it is with the ancient sun god; If you want to say no, he didn't dare to let the Heavenly Venerable, who was the divine will in the path of the Source Castle, revive on him, and he was instigated.
I always feel that the definition of human nature by squid is probably similar to the aspect of praise words?
