Chapter 315 is imbued with the aura of the 'City of Calamity'
"Reverend Fool, can that divine-level sealed artifact detect my participation in the 'Tarot Gathering'?"
Because of Evan, Klein had basically confirmed the gray mist's status and knew that a simple '0' level seal could not detect its existence. So he casually tapped the bronze tabletop in front of him with his fingers and said confidently and disdainfully:
"Of course it's impossible to find, but it's not absolute either. After all, some things and methods in this world are so strange and unpredictable!"
Upon hearing this, all the members of the Tarot Club unconsciously lowered their heads slightly, their respect for Mr. Fool growing even stronger!
"By the way, have you ever heard of someone named Amon?"
Derrick suddenly thought of his former exploration team leader next door.
Alger, the "Hanged Man," frowned slightly. The others were clueless, but Mr. "Power," Evan, reacted strongly, putting away the flippant smile that always seemed to be on his lips, and looking at Derrick with an unusually serious expression.
Where did you hear that name from?
Mr. Evan's attitude surprised everyone in the Tarot Club.
You know, when Evan was talking about the Angel War earlier, he was talking nonchalantly and casually. Why is he so serious now just hearing a name?
Derrick was naturally taken aback by Evan's sudden change in attitude, and for a moment he was speechless.
Alger, the "Hanged Man," stepped in and said:
"In the Fourth Age, well, this is our local division, about 1,500 years ago, or even earlier, there was a family that possessed strange powers. They belonged to the Tudor Dynasty, and their surname was Amon!"
Even in an era teeming with high-ranking powerhouses, this family's surname was a terrifying taboo!
"Why?" asked Audrey, the "Justice" lady, instead of Derrick.
Alger shook his head and looked at Mr. "Power" beside him, saying:
"I don't know. The Tudor dynasty had five archangel families as the cornerstone of its founding: Abraham, Antigonus, Tamara, Jacob, and Ammon!"
The other four families have some information passed down to them, but the Amon family is the most mysterious, as if everything has been distorted and covered up by some force!
News came from Nast, the King of the Five Seas, that the Amon family is known as the blasphemous family and possesses the secret to stealing the power of the gods!
Furthermore, the Amon family claims to be descendants of the ancient sun god!
Alger kept looking at Evan as he said these words, hoping that Evan would provide more secrets!
Klein, Fors, and Hugh, who were listening in, were also intrigued when they heard certain surnames!
Evan, however, paid no attention to Alger's thoughts and just stared at Derrick, waiting for him to answer his question!
At this point, Derrick calmed down and realized that the surname was indeed of great importance. After carefully considering his words, he recounted the whole story of his roommate next door!
"An entire exploration team died except for the captain, who was imprisoned in a dungeon for decades."
"He's not crazy, this person is definitely corrupted, extremely dangerous!"
Hugh, who has now become a mid-level backbone member of MI9, directly made a judgment on the captain of this exploration team!
"The Hanged Man," "Justice," "The Magician," and "The World" all nodded in agreement, acknowledging Miss "Judgment's" conclusion, and then turned their attention to the increasingly serious Mr. "Power."
To their surprise, Mr. "Strength" Evan turned his gaze directly to Mr. "Patient," who was smiling at them as if he didn't care about anything, and said:
"Could Amon have come for you? After all, he is the King of Angels who stands at the very pinnacle of the 'Thief' path; it's quite possible he could have sensed your presence!"
Evan's words caused an uproar, and everyone was shocked. Even Klein was stunned and stood there pretending to be cool in order to maintain his composure!
Seeing that Mr. Fool did not answer him, Evan could only explain to his dumbfounded friends:
"As far as I know, the Sequence 4 of the Thief pathway is called 'Parasite,' which can parasitize others, and this parasitism is very difficult to detect!"
Furthermore, the angels of the Thief's Path can take on countless forms, and the so-called Amon family is actually inaccurate. While nominally a family, the Amon family is more likely just one person!
Everyone was stunned by the information provided by Evan, and at the same time, a chill quickly flowed from their tailbone to their entire body!
Klein also understood why Evan believed that "Amon" possessing the exploration team leader was targeting "The Fool".
Because the "Thief" pathway and the "Occupy" pathway where the Fool resides are adjacent pathways, Klein is confident that the Gray Mist can evade angels or even the true god from other pathways, but he dares not guarantee that it can deceive angels from adjacent pathways!
The leader of that exploration team was definitely corrupted and parasitized by Amon's clones; he hasn't made a move for so many years.
Staying in the underground prison of Silver City for decades is definitely not for experiencing prison life; there must be a purpose behind it!
Once all the information was put together, the possibility that Amon was secretly plotting against him, the master of the gray fog, increased infinitely!
Klein frantically searched for a solution in his mind, finally turning his gaze to the omnipresent gray fog around him.
The Gray Mist is his only hope to deal with the King of Angels. Just like he used the Gray Mist to shield 0-08 in Tingen, he can only have a chance of survival when facing high-level forces by mobilizing the power of the Gray Mist!
Seeing everyone looking at him, Klein smiled slightly and said nonchalantly:
"Don't worry, Mr. Sun only needs to follow the instructions here and perform a ritual after leaving the dungeon to solve the problem!"
As he spoke, Klein, using the knowledge he had acquired during this period, hastily composed a secret ritual and passed it on to "The Sun" Derrick!
After Derrick took it and read it several times, memorizing its contents perfectly, he asked with concern:
"Mr. Fool, won't this ritual affect Silver City?"
"No, this is just a simple purification ritual. The one parasitizing the former exploration team leader is definitely not Amon's true form, so there's no need to worry too much!"
This is also the key reason why Klein did not give up on survival.
Klein also realized that the reason why Amon was not waiting for him in Silver City in his true form was most likely not because he was afraid of the two '0' level sealed artifacts in Silver City, but because the true creator's gaze was on Silver City, and their relationship was not good.
The evidence is the existence of that "shepherd" named Lovia!
This reminded Klein of the true creator's avatar he had seen in Tingen—Grisha!
And what he said to himself at the time, "Long time no see!"
Klein had some suspicions before, but now he was basically certain that the true creator definitely knew about the gray mist on his body, but did not take action against him.
Even now, to some extent, it has helped him resist Amon's true form, Li Fu!
Realizing this, Klein's feelings were extremely complicated, and then a question arose: why did the true creator help him?
Although, as Evan said, his actions were used by the true creator, which in turn helped the true creator descend into the world, his true intentions were definitely not like that!
Even though he was on the opposite side of the true creator, the true creator still showed him kindness!
This left Klein, who had always been averse to the Aurora Club's activities, with extremely mixed feelings!
Seeing that "The Fool" had easily resolved Amon's scheme, the members of the Tarot Club suppressed their shock.
"Amon is so terrifying, Mr. 'Power,' do you have any more information to provide us?" Miss Justice Audrey asked Evan again.
Evan simply shook his head, somewhat dejected, and said:
"I know that this information was compiled and pieced together from multiple sources."
I'm currently trying to contact the Abrahamic family. Their leader was known as the first angel under God in the Fourth Age. I think I can get more information from them!
As he spoke, Evan glanced at "The Magician" Fors. Fors's lips twitched, knowing that her boss was urging her to speed up her progress, and she immediately felt immense pressure.
Seeing that Evan didn't explain much about the Abraham family, the others didn't ask any more questions. They simply memorized the name and prepared to investigate it themselves.
Seeing that no one had anything to say, "Judgment" thought for a moment and then said, "I've heard that a princess from the Fursac Empire named Alice Einhorn has infiltrated Backlund and is in charge of intelligence work. Do you have any information about her?"
During this period, the intelligence organization of the Kingdom of Rune has been searching for information about Alice Einhorn, in addition to looking for the "Black Emperor". Evan is in charge of intelligence work for the Fursac Empire, and in the past few days, Evan has also been considering letting Hugh take over some of the work.
Xiu urged the intelligence agents who had infiltrated the Holy Milon Empire of the Fusak Empire to actively investigate, but they found nothing. Many of the agents even doubted whether there was a mistake in the country and whether there was no princess at all.
Hugh was also very puzzled, so he wanted to find out from the Tarot Club, as a last resort.
She knew Audrey and Fors' identities, knew that "The Sun" was in the land of the forsaken, and knew that Mr. "The Hanged Man" was not well-informed at sea, so Hugh placed her hopes on the taciturn and very mysterious Mr. "The World"!
As a member of MI9, Klein naturally received the mission to investigate Alice Einhorn.
When he received the mission, Klein remembered that Evan had mentioned this mysterious princess to him, but he had been too busy lately to investigate in depth, so he could not know more detailed information. Therefore, he could only shake his head at Miss "Judgment".
However, Hugh's reminder also reminded Klein of this mission. He planned to use the power of the gray fog to take control after the meeting, since the bounty offered by MI9 was quite high!
If he can complete this mission, he won't need to trouble Evan to get the 'Six-Winged Gargoyle Core Crystal' for him!
This material is very rare. Even Evan has to go through certain procedures. After all, it's obvious that Evan helped someone obtain this material!
After Klein saw that everyone had nothing more to share, he ended the tarot session directly. However, he did not leave the gray fog. Instead, he continued to channel his spiritual energy into the red star representing the 'sun,' watching what happened after he left the gray fog!
Sure enough, in the prison where Little Sun was, a monster appeared with its head split open, its brain constantly writhing, and countless wounds on its body revealing white teeth.
From Klein's perspective, a transparent, illusory figure could be clearly seen wrapped around the monster.
This phantom had hands and feet, but it coiled around the monster like a python, looking at the little 'sun'!
In the hazy scene, the figure was dressed in a classic dark robe, wearing a pointed hat of the same color, and a monocle made of crystal on his face!
The thief passes by the King of Angels—Amon!
If that's all there is to it, Klein, who is already mentally prepared, doesn't need to worry too much.
To Klein's horror, the phantom actually sensed Klein's gaze from the gray mist, raised its head, smiled, and then split into two phantoms.
One of them went directly into the 'Sun', and the 'Sun' was completely unaware of it!
Just then, a magnificent beam of light shot down from above, illuminating a tall, white-haired old man who had appeared in the dungeon at some unknown time.
The old man seemed to see the monster's phantom image. He crossed his two swords and swung them forward. In a flash, a dazzling light appeared, leaving only a worm the size of a thumb with small rings on its surface!
Upon seeing this person, Derrick immediately knelt on one knee and respectfully bowed, saying, "Your Excellency, Chief!"
The one who appeared was none other than the strongest warrior in Silver City, a Sequence 4 "Witcher".
— Colin Iliad!
Klein paid no attention to the conversation between the Silver City Chief and the 'Sun,' but instead stared intently at the phantom behind the Sun, watching as the phantom waved to him!
Even an avatar of the Angel King is indeed beyond the capabilities of Silver City to handle!
Klein had anticipated this situation, but he was not disappointed.
At the same time, Klein heard a prayer and realized it was the vibration of the Red Star representing Evan, guessing that Evan wanted to make a deal with him for the Blasphemy Card.
At this moment, Amon would not make a move in front of the Silver City Chief, and Klein also needed to use the secret ritual, so there was nothing to do. Klein directly opened the sacrificial gate, sent out the 'Black Emperor' blasphemous tablet, and took the 'Red Priest' blasphemous tablet handed over by Evan.
However, when Klein obtained the 'Red Priest' blasphemous card, he noticed that the card was tainted with a very strong red aura.
Klein, who had come into direct contact with it, felt a stinging sensation in his nose, as if he had been punched, and a metallic taste in his mouth.
At the same time, I felt abnormal pain all over my body!
