Chapter 579: The Mother of Heaven and the Kingdom of Night
"Let me start by describing how I felt about that battle!" Hobert said: "First of all, Amon's power is very terrifying, and it is difficult for me to even produce coherent thoughts under the attack of the opponent's extraordinary ability.
"Of course, after your idea is stolen, you can't react for a while.
"Later, when I reviewed it, I found that all my ideas had been stolen in the first period of time, or that there were no secrets during that time!
"If it weren't for the magical items given in advance by the great 'Founder', Amon's doppelganger might have stolen all my memories, including the memories of participating in the Tarot Society."
He spread his hands: "I even 'forgot' to pray to the 'founder' or to the 'fool'!" ”
Everyone almost gasped together, and this ability sounded terrifying.
Crane sighed after the gray fog: Fortunately, I only got the clue of Amon's clone through the Magic Mirror of Arodes, and if I pass by and steal even one idea from the other party, I may find out my secret.
The "hanged man" Alger pinched the sweat for the "emperor": a demigod has no power to fight back, and once the demigod meets Amun, it is a luxury to want to escape.
"The Magician" Furth was a little afraid: Fortunately, Hobert is a family member of the "Founder", otherwise I might have lost him forever! Even if it was in front of me, it wasn't necessarily the real him.
Also scared is "Justice" Audrey: I didn't expect the previous hunting operation to be so dangerous! Hobert had only briefly mentioned it before, and it gave me a feeling that it wasn't too difficult. Fortunately, Hobert was fine, and fortunately, the "founder" had foreseen it.
The most sensible is the "Hermit" Gardelia: the ability of the "Thief" path is difficult to deal with when it reaches the "high sequence"! If you want to fight, you always have to have a plan, at least a thought. But these thoughts and plans will be stolen, and you may forget that the person in front of you is the enemy! It's scary!
"Moon" Emlyn thought to himself: If I met Amon, wouldn't he know that I was the chosen one of the ancestors! I am the winner of this Bloodline Contest! He, no, he must be envious.
Hobert continued, "So I said before that the best way to meet Amon's doppelganger is to pray to the 'Fool', if you remember it.
"And parasitic or something, instead of such a terrible ability.
"His other terrible ability is to steal the fate of others and place them on Yourself.
"I said before that this ability, you may not have full experience, we should have encountered a situation, that is, the general director of the Rorsted Islands......"
He was talking about Mr. Van Lunding, which was too specific and had nothing to do with the "founder" if he were called the patriarch of the Tony family.
After fooling Barnett yesterday, it was as if a new world had opened up, and he could have asked the messenger to take over the Tony family when needed.
Hobart could feel that the Messenger wanted the Tudots to move closer to the "Founders", and that he seemed to have a good relationship with the Angels of the Tony family, who were not in good shape, and that it was only fitting that the Messenger would take them in.
It's just that Hobert doesn't need so much extraordinary strength now, and early co-optation is still a burden.
But this does not affect Hobert's bragging about the forces that classify them as "founders".
Emlin was a little surprised: Ancestor bless, don't meet Amon, otherwise in such a perfect life as mine, I will definitely be targeted by Him!
“…… The head of the Rorsted Islands, his fate was stolen by Amon's doppelganger. Hobart continued: "He has been avoiding prayers and reports to the 'Founder' for various reasons, so that no one can find out about it."
"For a long time, the power of the entire Rorsted Islands was in the service of Amon's doppelganger, and even I didn't notice anything unusual when I saw the other party.
"If it weren't for the fact that something was wrong with that meeting later, I might not have found out until the 'founder' took the initiative to assign a task to the head of the Rorsted Islands."
Gadelia bowed slightly, indicating that even if he was the head of a region, the gods would not always pay attention to him if they had no orders. The only exception is the "Hidden Sage", but it is not so much attention as active indoctrination.
Everyone listened attentively to the "Emperor" as he continued: "We have done an investigation afterwards and found that the cause of the whole incident was that the companions of the Rorsted Islands abused the seal of the 'Thief' channel to bring in Amon's clone.
"So if you know that there is a Level 1 seal of the 'Thief' path nearby, or a demigod or above who is extraordinary in this way, you must be careful!
"Amun has a habit of gathering the extraordinary characteristics of the same way, and perhaps one day he will come to his door."
Crane in the gray fog has the urge to cover his face: my neighbor has a "thief" demigod who parasitizes the rat's body, and because I often go to church, I often meet my poet classmates! It's like hovering on the brink of danger!
Everyone else was thinking about the Level 1 seals and demigods of the "Thief" path around them, but soon Alger realized the ridiculousness of his thoughts: Hehe, what was I thinking? I haven't even touched a Level 1 seal now, so why am I still worried?
Everyone had the same idea as Alger, realizing the scarcity of Level 1 seals, and slowly shook their heads after smiling.
Hobert continued, "Once the problem was discovered, the hunt for Amon's clone began.
"What I want to tell you is that the seven gods hate Amun, so if you pray directly to the true gods, there is a chance that you can get some help from a certain god.
"It's just that first of all, we have shown enough kindness and respect for that deity, and secondly, that deity has shown enough kindness to our faith.
"This needs to be done in accordance with the local conditions, and I received help from the 'hidden' power of the Goddess of the Night under the direction of the 'Founder'.
"After the start of the operation, a hidden world has been formed, which can effectively isolate Amun's other clones from rushing to support."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and Klein said in his heart: I wonder if I will get corresponding help if I pray to the goddess?
He thought about it seriously, he had always respected the goddess enough, and now more importantly, what was the goddess's attitude towards the "fool"?
Audrey smiled slightly: I didn't expect such an operation, if it wasn't for Hobert to say so, I didn't expect it.
Then she thought, "I wonder if I will get any reward if I report the news of Amun directly to the goddess?"
But Audrey thought about it for a while, and gave up this idea again: when the time comes, the extraordinary people of the church will definitely come to verify the source and authenticity of this information, which will be very troublesome, and even risk exposing my participation in the tarot meeting.
Gadelia was slightly stunned: This is the first time I've heard of this method...... Well, to be exact, it's the first time I've felt that the gods also have disgust and this kind of emotion, and I've always felt that they are high up and very indifferent, but in the mouth of the emperor, they also seem to have some personality feelings? Well, there should be, after all, the ancient sun god Sun God had a personality.
"Then the second step is to be ready with sufficient, overwhelming strength." Hobert said: "And it is better to prepare as much power as you have."
For Amun's doppelganger was very cunning, and this cunning deceived not only strangers, but also those who knew Him.
"There is an angel on our side who is familiar with Amon in the Quaternary Period, so he planned the battle plan this time.
"But what is unexpected is that some of the manifestations of Amun's body in the Quaternary Age were to deceive acquaintances when fighting, and as a result, the strength of Amun's clone far exceeded expectations, and the 'founder' personally intervened to save the situation!"
Klein bowed his head slightly: This sounds like something Amon can do.
Then he realized that the subordinate "ingredients" of the "founder" were very complicated, there were guards who had served the god of death, and angels who were very familiar with Amon, how did these people get together?
But then Klein realized: maybe they were the Founders' subordinates in the first place, but they were sent to the Grim Reaper, or sent to spy on Amon?
"Little Sun" only thought that Amon was terrible before, and he had always wondered how to avoid Amun, and he never thought about fighting Amun head-on, but at this time, he was also very excited when he heard the "emperor" tell the story of the battle: it turned out that Amon, no, is Amon's doppelganger can be defeated, but be careful, otherwise it is easy to fall into his trap.
Furth sighed: I only know that Angus is a member of the Tudor family, and that team of Elliott and others, who are still training in Jeffrey City, are a family of extraordinary people from the Southern Continent. I didn't expect the "founder" to have subordinates who were familiar with Amon...... But it's reasonable to think about it, the "founder" can even accept the Gnostic, and it's not strange to have these strange subordinates.
"In the end, those three angels and several Sages took advantage of the advantages gained by the 'Founder' to eliminate Amon's two angel-level clones and more than a dozen Sage-level clones." "That's how this war began," Hobert said. ”
Klein smiled slightly: No wonder you are so generous in terms of "Time Worm", it turns out that you have killed so many clones!
Alger was a little frightened: this battle is equivalent to the destruction of a large secret organization! Although it is a bit one-sided to think like this, the results achieved are indeed great!
Gadelia calmly analyzed: I have to say that if Amon's clones are gathered together, it is a very terrifying force, but this is also a drawback, because these clones have a single ability, so if the method is appropriate, it is easy to be wiped out. Hehe, what a presumptuous idea I have!
Audrey asked curiously, "Mr. Emperor, what about the person in charge of the Rorsted Islands who stole his fate?" Was he rescued? ”
Hobert shook his head: "No, it is said that after he is stolen from his fate, he will be in a state similar to 'secret', no one can see him, he can't hear his voice, he will gradually lose all contact with the real world, and he will die a painful death in loneliness." ”
Everyone was surprised, but also felt that this ability was too vicious.
Hobert added: "As for those parasitic companions, they have been rescued. The group that died basically did not die at the hands of Amun's clone, but basically died at the hands of their own people.
"The parasitic people kept provoking everyone in the battle, and as a result, their own people fought with their own people, but fortunately, the battle on the main battlefield ended quickly, so there were not too many casualties."
At this point, the other members had a complete understanding of the whole picture of this war, and then they were all thinking about what kind of countermeasures they should have after encountering Amon.
But in the end, they all got the same answer: they couldn't do anything but pray.
After a few seconds of silence in the main hall, Crane manipulated the "world" and asked Hobert, "Do you have any definite information about the 'Mother of Heaven' and the 'Night Country'?" ”
Mother of Heaven?
Night Country?
Everyone looked curiously at the "world" and then at the "emperor".
I think just listening to two titles is like a very powerful look.
Among them, Gadelia and Alger knew about the "Night Country", but they had only seen a few words, and she had never heard of the "Mother of Heaven", so she was very curious about the relevant information.
Hober nodded: "I got some exact information, you want to listen to it yourself?" Or do you want everyone to listen together? ”
Under everyone's expectant eyes, the "world" said: "Let's listen together!" ”
Of course, everyone has to listen together, so that it is good for crowdfunding.
Hober nodded, "Okay, the reward is, the detailed way to make a spell with the 'Time Worm'. Well, as detailed as you can be, I haven't made a spell before. ”
Klein immediately manipulated the "world" and said, "Deal." ”
"Little Sun" raised his hand slightly: "Mr. World, can I get a way to make a spell with the 'Time Worm'?" What does it cost me? ”
Klein paused slightly before letting the "world" say, "Your chief should know the specific method, what he lacks now is an existence that prays for strength." ”
Derick was slightly stunned: "I see, thank you for your answer." ”
Hobert said to the others: "As for you, if you want to join the trade, you must provide me with a help in my time of need, and this help will not be worth more than 1,000 pounds." ”
Klein was slightly stunned: What kind of new gameplay is this?
Firth suddenly remembered the "Justice League" gathering held three or four months ago when Hobert returned to Beckland, when Hobert provided extraordinary properties and potion recipes for other members to pay in the form of quests, and now this method is also used in the Tarot Society?
Audrey said in her heart: "My father just talked about Hobert's worth at dinner yesterday, and it is hard to imagine that Hobert has rapidly accumulated a fortune of millions of pounds in the past month! It's just that very few people know the inside story, and Hobert didn't mean to announce this matter, so everyone doesn't know this legendary story! But I knew very well that Hobart was paying for "help" because there was no shortage of these thousands of pounds.
Audrey's idea is right, Hobert is indeed not short of money at all now, but if this information is completely free, it is like breaking the "rules of the market", and over time everyone will even get used to it, and will not think that this is a help to everyone.
That's why Hobart decided to settle the settlement with "help".
If you ask them for help in the future, just go to a member and don't owe them a favor.
Even if such "help" is not needed, other members will consider it a debt, but the "creditor" is not in a hurry to collect the debt.
Audrey, who knew the inside story, first said: "This kind of transaction is tantamount to 'bartering', or exchanging information for some of our resources or capabilities, and I am willing to pay in this way." ”
Everyone else has also expressed their willingness, after all, there is no need to spend money on this information now, and you can use the way you are good at repaying debts in the future, of course you will be willing to do this kind of transaction!
After negotiating the payment, Hobart began: "Do you remember the ancient god 'Demon Wolf Destroyer'? Remember, first of all, ask Mr. Fool to help me figure out a stone statue. ”
Behind Klein's jaw, seated at the top, Hobart revealed a stone statue of the "Mother of Heaven" in the church of the Misty Town.
It has a beautiful face, but two animal legs grow from the ribs and waist, covered with short, thick black hair.
At the foot of the stone statues, souls are sleeping.
Seeing this stone statue, the other members felt sacred and evil, and wanted to worship and stay away.
Alger even thought of the Goddess of the Night, but he thought the idea seemed blasphemous.
Hobart continued: "When I saw the four beast legs of this stone statue, I thought of the description of the 'Demon Destroyer Wolf', and after consulting the relevant information, I determined that the 'Demon Destruction Wolf' really had beast legs very similar to those on the stone statue.
"In the corresponding description, the 'Demon Destroyer' has eight legs, which can also be compared to the stone statue, after all, the stone statue also has two arms and two legs.
"So I guess if this 'Mother of Heaven' will be a fellow of the 'Demon Wolf of Destruction'?"
The erudite Gadelia finally remembered: "'Mother of Heaven'? Is it the faith found in the Hornachis Mountains? ”
The other members were puzzled and puzzled.
Hober nodded, "Yes." Oh, by the way, I haven't told you why I want to explain the origin of this stone statue. ”
He glanced at the "world" and, seeing that the other party did not object, explained: "I conducted a joint operation with Mr. World last week and found this stone statue in an ancient church.
"At that time, we found clues related to the 'Night Country' and the 'Mother of Heaven' based on our discoveries, but there are not many records of this, whether it is ordinary historical materials or in the extraordinary world.
"Mr. World is very curious about this, which is why he commissioned me to investigate the 'Night Country' and the 'Mother of Heaven'."
The other members nodded slowly, and when they encountered this kind of relic involving the extraordinary, they would definitely investigate it as well.
Audrey thought: During this time, the cooperation between the members of the Tarot Society is very frequent, a month ago, Hobert and Mr. World and Mr. Hanged Man had an exploration, but I didn't expect that last week, Hobert and Mr. World started another cooperation.
Klein makes the "world" bow its head, which is an affirmation of Hobert's description, and also an acknowledgment of this way of description, showing that the key information has not been exposed in the original situation.
After all, breaking into the Chanis Gate in the church of St. Samuel is not a glorious thing, and of course it cannot be spread as his own glorious deeds.
Gadelia and the other members were curious about their experience and process of exploration, but the "Emperor" didn't mean to elaborate, and they didn't want to ask.
"I remember a long time ago, I told me about a piece of information at the Tarot meeting that the 'Night Country' was wiped out by the Church of the Night Goddess! ”
Audrey also recalled the information released by Mr. "The Hanged Man" at that time, and had a more specific understanding of the "Night Country".
"Yes, but we won't be able to talk about the destruction of the country until later." Hobart continued, "I verified my previous suspicions with the 'Founder' and received a positive answer, the 'Mother of Heaven' is indeed a descendant of the 'Demon Destroyer'.
"And I got a very surprising news! Well, we'll talk about that later, let's talk about the 'Mother of Heaven' and Antigonus first.
"They are the daughters and sons of the 'Wolf of Destruction', both born mythical creatures, the 'Mother of Heaven' is the older sister, and Antigonus is the younger brother."
"Antigonus?" Gadelia asked, "Is it Antigonus, who was active in the Quaternary?" ”
"That's right." Hobert replied in the affirmative: "It was also the ancestor of the later House of Antigonus!" ”
Everyone was stunned, they didn't expect that this great nobleman in the Quaternary period would be a descendant of the "Demon Wolf of Destruction"!
Alger wondered if the angels, or nobles, who were active in the Quaternary Age, could all go back to the Second Age.
Audrey also sighed: This kind of life experience is very surprising, I originally thought that after the second period, the ancient demonic beasts with crazy tendencies were basically extinct, but I didn't expect them to become big nobles in the fourth age!
Emlyn had a similar idea, and he sighed: This is the extraordinary world! There are always creatures who live as long as the Bloodline!
Darek realizes that the descendants of the old gods who ruled the earth in the Second Age have had such a profound influence.
Hobert gave everyone a few seconds to sigh, and then continued: "According to some clues I have gotten in a few words, the birth and demise of the 'Night Country' has basically been restored.
"After the fall of the Wolf of Destruction, the Mother of Heaven and Antigonus fled to the Northern Continent and hid in the plateau of the Honakis Mountains.
"Later, in order to stabilize the state, they cautiously developed some believers on the plateau, and as the number of believers increased, the 'Night Country' was gradually formed.
"And from the path of 'Mother of Heaven' and Antigonus, the religious beliefs of the 'Land of Night' can be explained."
"During an archaeological work on the Night Country, historians discovered that the people of the country believed in the 'Mother of Heaven,' but had a strange idea of death, believing that loved ones could be resurrected after death," Hobert explains.
"So in this kingdom, when someone dies, they put the body of the deceased in their home and wait for the resurrection of their loved ones.
"What is incomprehensible to historians is that, according to some of the frescoes, those who died were really resurrected!
"If you interpret it with extraordinary knowledge, this process is not difficult to understand, according to some of Antigonus's abilities, it is not difficult to judge that these deceased people are not really resurrected, but have become Antigonus's secret couples!"
The most surprising thing is Klein: Antigonus alone, no, a wolf, can control a small country-scale, or a city-sized secret puppet?
