Chapter 39 The "Secret" Adorer

Inside the majestic and majestic palace above the gray mist beyond the horizon.

As soon as the figure of Leonard Mitchell appeared on the side of the long bronze table, he subconsciously stood up, wanting to salute Mister Fool.

However, he glanced over and found that the seat was empty and no one was seated.

Mister Fool isn't here usually? With a flash of thought, Leonard cast his gaze at the bottom of the mottled long table.

The "world" sat there silently, as if mixed with gray mist, it was indistinct.

"...It's just the two of us, there's no need to deliberately use the image of Gehrman Sparrow." Leonard said casually to "The World" as he sat down again.

After discovering that Mr. Fool was not there, he immediately became extremely relaxed. He was no longer as stiff as he was when he participated in the Tarot Club last time. He almost crossed his legs and put them on the table.

"Get used to it." Klein responded briefly.

Leonard nodded thoughtfully:

"I heard that Gehrman Sparrow's image at sea is cold, restrained, gentle, and polite. Your current performance fits this description, but Klein, you were not like this before. You have to remember that you are just Acting, cannot be affected by the identity of Gehrman Sparrow."

Hey, I pulled you up to talk about Amon, not to chat! Are you so careless about your grandfather's affairs? Klein did habitually use the image of "world" in such a scene, but after being told by Leonard, he was embarrassed to change back to his original appearance, and said with a "hmm":

"'Just playing' is what Pallez Zoroast taught you?"

"Yes." Leonard responded frankly.

Does this old man look good? He has told Leonard such crucial and important knowledge...Compared to him, the mouse and demigod had really bad intentions. He didn't teach Hairou almost any common sense. Er, even if there is teaching, some distortions have been made, hehe, no matter how wild Extraordinary is, at the level of a demigod, how can he not understand anything? Even Kavitua, a half-mad sea snake, knows how to respond to the ceremony, how to ask for sacrifices, and even bestow some divine spells... Klein initially established the image of Pales Zoroaster in his heart.

However, he didn't make a judgment on this. After all, fishing will also prepare some bait, and a single thing can't prove too much.

Seeing that Klein was silent, Leonard ended the pleasantries and turned to the topic:

"Where did you find the new trace of Amon the Blasphemer?"

Klein picked up the point and said:

"I was tracking a demigod of the 'Thief' path that was close to getting out of control, but I ran into Amon on the outskirts of Backlund, so I had to use the power of Mister Fool to escape directly."

"Amon's avatar is still in Backlund..." Leonard sighed, and then asked a little curiously and quite casually, "Why are you tracking down the demigod of the 'Thief' path who is close to getting out of control? "

After asking, he came to his senses and quickly added:

"If it involves a certain plan of Mister Fool, I didn't ask."

Why? Isn't it the responsibility of the "Nighthawks" to deal with Extraordinary who are approaching or out of control? Hearing Leonard's question, Klein sighed.

He recalled his experience in Tingen again.

In just over two months, he dealt with several similar incidents, including the "Punisher" of the Church of Storms turned into a monster, Hood Eugene lost control, and Old Neil was polluted by the "Hidden Sage" , Although the overall number is not much, it also left a deep impression on him, engraving some codes of conduct in his bone marrow.

Therefore, based on the situation he had obtained in the past, he analyzed from the news that the mouse was biting people madly. When the "thief" demigod approached to lose control, he did not hesitate to use illusion downstairs immediately, and got it from Hazel. confirmed, then, without waiting,

I didn't think about preparing for an extra day or two, but just went to the gray mist to do a divination. After I had a rough plan, I started to act.

For him, this kind of thing is like fighting a fire!

In addition, Klein himself has long wanted to eliminate the demigod of the "Thief" pathway, because the maliciousness shown by the other party on Hazel is too obvious, and he also wants to induce Miss "Magician" to go to the superficial trap of the treasure. If it wasn't for the lack of level and too much difference in strength at that time, and the fear of causing unnecessary accidents, he had planned to do it before.

Because of this, after confirming the demigod status of the "thief" pathway, he started to clear it according to the predetermined plan.

His goal in the first phase was to lure the enemy out of the Elk Manor, lest the incomplete mythical creature form displayed by the opponent before death would affect ordinary people. The salvo failed to resolve the battle, so the "thief" escaped to the bushes through the demigod, and parasitized into a big tree.

Originally, Klein still had a plan for the second stage, and even prepared remedial measures when he could not successfully purify the target, but Amon suddenly appeared, so he could only directly interrupt all plans, and escaped from Klein's remedial measures without hesitation Yes, let a secret puppet leave the battlefield, and write a letter to ask the experimental demigod Patrick Bryan of the Spiritual Cult to come and help. This "undead" should already have a certain ability to travel through the spirit world. If there is any accident, then Just summon Miss Courier, do the work first and pay later.

Amidst the ups and downs of memory, Klein responded to Leonard's question with a sigh:

"secret."

Pausing for a second, he took the initiative to ask:

"Why didn't you find an opportunity to inform the Evernight Church of the news that Amon's clone came to Backlund?"

Leonard quickly began to explain, "If Amon's body arrives, there must be a god descending. Amon can see the corresponding changes in fate through the death of the clone, so as to find the source of the disturbance and grasp the approximate range of activities of the manipulator behind the scenes. Amon The style is to surround a superficial clone, hiding a dozen, dozens, or even hundreds of clones. Amon's clones can parasitize in the bodies of various spiritual creatures. They are not demigods, and they can't detect them if they are parasitized. described it again.

At the end, Leonard told Klein the old man's example of stealing fate in detail.

Hearing this sent chills down Klein's spine, thankful that he was not reckless to deal with Amon last time, otherwise, Mister Fool might have changed.

No wonder Leonard didn't report it before... Amon appeared so ostentatiously, it turned out he was fishing, and there are more clones hidden in the dark, which can parasitize the tiny creatures in the air... This is just a thought , It makes one’s scalp tingle, the creatures I can manipulate currently can’t reach this level at all, the smaller they are, the less obvious the lines of the spirit body are, it’s quite special... Hey, I can’t use the power of the church, unless There is a person who should report this matter without any problems in any aspect... Klein felt a pang of regret, and he became more clear about Amon's horror, and his impression became more and more profound.

In his opinion, Leonard was originally a good candidate to report to the Church of Evernight, but with Pales Zarathustra parasitic in his body, he did not dare to expose his existence to Amon's gaze.

In addition, "The Hanged Man" can also take on this responsibility, but he can't give Amon a convincing source of information, which means that there is a problem, which is worthy of in-depth investigation.

One choice after another flashed in Klein's mind, and finally it was fixed on himself, on the two identities of Klein Moretti and Gehrman Sparrow!

"As a favored person of the night, it is very reasonable for me to inform the church of Amon's appearance in Backlund, and Amon can't fault it;

"And as the 'Crafting Mage' who fought against the demigod of the 'Thief' path tonight and saw Amon with his own eyes, it is normal to know that the clone of the 'Angel of Time' has come to Backlund. It makes Amon suspect, and at the same time, because he is the favored person of the night, Amon, who has only lost a little clone, has a high probability that he will not retaliate. After all, what greets him is likely to be a trap, a descendant of God!

"It feels so good to have a backstage... However, all the gifts of fate will be secretly marked with a price..." Klein quickly gained a preliminary grasp of the matter.

Then, he changed his position habitually, and began to think about tonight's events from Amon's perspective:

"Amon must be no stranger to the 'Crafting Mage', and he can judge my approach only from the two points of manipulating secret puppets and swapping positions;

"Since Amon let a 'crafty mage' escape, he must have made preparations for his whereabouts to be exposed, and even hoped to attract the target he was looking for;

"I use the appearance of Gehrman Sparrow, but that doesn't mean anything. The appearance of the 'Faceless Man' is the least of my concerns... Well, then, how will Amon judge my identity? A strong man who walks in the dark, a demigod of the "Seer" path...Because the Church of Evernight and the Secret Order have control over formulas, materials, and mermaids, there are almost no wild "tricksters", Antigonus The descendants of the family are also extinct, so a 'crafty mage' is either a member of the secret order, or a secret agent secretly cultivated by the Church of the Evernight...

"Adding the location of Backlund, the answer is almost ready...

"Based on these reasons, it is not difficult for Amon to come to the conclusion that the Church of Evernight will soon find out the traces and carry out a clearing operation. I reported it as he expected, and it would be abnormal not to report it...

"Well, he will definitely hide now, even if he takes over the identity of the demigod of the 'thief' pathway, he will not come to Boklund Street in a short time!"

Having made the judgment, Klein felt a lot more at ease, because he will have plenty of time to prepare!

"What do you think?" Seeing that Klein was silent for a long time after listening to his description, Leonard couldn't help asking.

Klein withdrew his thoughts and asked instead of answering:

"Pales Zarathustra has any suggestions for this?"

"He said that if you want to deal with Amon's clone in Backlund, you must first obtain the hidden protection." Leonard said truthfully.

Hidden protection...Pales Zarathustra is testing openly, half of the symbols behind the "Fool" seat are hidden... I can use the "Paper Angel" and "Red Priest" cards to add The power of the mysterious space above the prying gray mist should have no problem interfering with Amon's clone, but it may not be possible to prevent his body from prying into fate... However, I still have the identity of the Night's Blessed One, and the other title of the goddess is "Mother of Secrets"... Clearing Amon's clone, is it a "payment" or a gift? It feels like there are both aspects... Klein thought for a while, and replied in a deep voice:

"Tell Pallez Zarathustra, I am a hidden favored person, and I will try to ask for help."

He was referring to the favored ones of the "Mother of Secrets", but Pales Zarathustra would definitely understand it as the favored ones of "The Fool".
