Chapter 544 New Agreement

822

"An attempt."

"A try?"

Antigonus frowned. There was no language barrier or communication barrier between them, because Source Castle seemed to have translated the language into the type that they were most familiar with. As a beast himself, he already has a relatively straightforward personality, but he will still become a top Riddler under the influence of extraordinary characteristics. Now facing this mysterious man who speaks completely unknown words, he has become convinced that the other person is the "Lord of Mysteries" .

He has actually revived... not in me, but in...

His gaze deviated slightly from Klein's body, and he briefly glanced around, feeling secretly frightened.

The diffuse gray fog reflected in his eyes, hazy, fuzzy, and boundless. And in the center of this boundless gray mist, there is nothing like a temple or a palace. Huge stone pillars support a vast space, with the tops deep into the mist, surrounding this long bronze table with simple patterns - Antigonus Si has never seen this kind of design. Although there is no information contained in it, if you stare at the pattern for a long time, you will still feel dizzy.

The gray mist flows like water, and the high sky is dotted with crimson "stars".

Some of them are large, some are small, some are hidden in the depths, and some are floating on the surface.

Antigonus looked at these red stars in a daze, and could feel that they corresponded to different spirits and things. This made him feel complicated, and even felt unspeakable frustration. He was even angry. It makes me laugh a little - it turns out that there are many items in the world that are related to the "Origin Castle", but these related items can only be found on the Source Castle.

Otherwise it would be difficult for them, the kings of angels, to discover the clues!

How abominable!

The corners of Antigonus's mouth twitched, but he did not laugh after all. He shook his head slightly,

If I guessed correctly, He came up this way just now.

There is no doubt that this is the "Origin Castle" - it is Him. Amon and Bethel have been searching for the "Origin Castle" that has been missing for thousands of years!

The connection between him and Origin Castle is naturally the will of the "Lord of Mysteries" awakened in him. However, when he came to Origin Castle and faced the real "Lord of Mysteries", those awakened in him naturally disappeared. .

The "Lord of Mysteries" awakened directly inside Source Castle? Did He awaken, or did Sefirah reawaken its will?

Antigonus had a lot to say in his heart, but in the face of this being at the top of the sequence, he still chose to remain silent.

However, Klein did not intend to give him too many opportunities for silence. After the other party subconsciously asked the question, Klein imitated the tone of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun and said with a slight smile:

"I think you should know the reason why you are here."

As he spoke, Klein felt as if he had returned to the beginning, becoming Zhou Mingrui again, who was at a loss when facing Alger and Audrey in the gray fog but could not show his timidity.

But time has passed, and he is now an angel, the future Lord of Mysteries—whom he can call himself and become at any time.

Now, on top of Origin Castle, there was no need for him to be wary of the "Half Fool". Instead, he should take advantage of the opponent's current fear and nervousness and calmly use his own advantages. After all, Source Castle is already his home court. He can do anything, he can help, he can give alms, he can torture the other party, or he can do nothing and watch Him die without Antigonus's consent.

——But he still chose to talk to the other party.

Just like asking the Dogs of Fulgrim to collect nine kinds of spiritual world specialties for him, although it has no meaning for his promotion and future, it at least expresses Klein Moretti's own will.

This is enough.

Antigonus slowly turned his head. His height was about the same as the "Lord of Mysteries" sitting above him, so his eyes were basically at the same level. He didn't have to think about whether he should lower his head or look up. Upon hearing this, "Half Fool" smiled and asked:

"I can't think of any other reason than my uniqueness and uniqueness."

"But I also have a problem. I can aggregate the characteristics, and you should be able to, too. Why did you bother to bring me here?"

While speaking, Antigonus thought of something - the memory of Amon pushing up his monocle and saying "Interesting, interesting" came to his mind. As soon as the image of this guy appeared, Antigonus immediately thought of The "Lord of Mysteries" might have the same bad personality as the "Angel of Time" - the look in his eyes when he looked at the "Lord of Mysteries" suddenly changed, and a bad idea appeared in his heart.

"This definitely can't be hospice care... Could it be that the Lord of Mysteries also has a hobby of appreciating food and struggling to die? That guy Amon, although it is understandable to treat enemies like this, but it is really unappreciable table manners."

"Ugh...that's really bad taste. You might as well just hang me up."

He cursed a few words and continued to say nothing.

In this situation, he seemed to have no other choice but to quietly wait for his fate, unless he wanted to die quickly and try to anger the Lord of Mysteries so that the other party could take away his life, but Antigonus wanted to Thinking about his own "marionette transformation", Amon's "parasitism" and Bethel's "sealed banishment" - these extraordinary abilities that can make people unable to survive or die made him feel that the Lord of Mysteries must not be able to do it. A person with a personality who would simply kill someone when angry might experience even more severe torture when the time comes.

But He has already reached this point and has become a dessert before the meal. Does it make any difference whether he dies easily or is tortured...?

Klein looked at Antigonus who was silent and thinking hard, and after brewing his emotions for a while, he answered him.

"Yes."

"You have no other value than that."

After saying this, Klein himself felt that he deserved to be beaten so much that he felt like he could drink two bottles of "Provocateur" potion in one go.

But it has to be said that this speaking style is the most consistent with everyone's impression of the "Lord of Mysteries" - but since when has this incarnation of the Sefirot been recognized as a person with a terrible personality, very understanding of people's hearts, and fond of people? He tortures, plays with and annoys others, and likes to talk without finishing his words. All in all, he is like Amon PROMAX?

Probably because of the collective rejection of the Outer Gods, the extremely low requirements of the Demon of Knowledge for him, and the high-sequence character expressions of these three paths...

Taking Amon's natural character as a reference, as well as the names of potions such as "Cunning Mage", "Secret Puppet Master", "Trickster", "Stealer"...etc., Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun is not at all. It may be good, but it will only become worse and more terrible!

... Antigonus let out a slightly heavy breath, and the veins on the back of his hands that had just calmed down exploded again.

For a person who has been struggling to this day, even risking his life to become a "half-fool" for strength, such an evaluation is really shameful and humiliating, despising his personality and treating him as a pure container of extraordinary characteristics. Therefore, the moment he heard the other party's words clearly, he was angered by these words. He almost had the urge to jump into action and attack the Lord of Mysteries in order to be killed directly by the other party.

"However, I also learned an interesting thing. Before you came here, I continued to hold a meeting to summon some extraordinary people to come here and let them trade, or find ways to get something from me."

"At the beginning of my awakening, I randomly selected two humans and wanted to obtain their memories and understand the current situation. But one of the bold humans said to me: 'Don't you think the format of the party is interesting? Although Your power exceeds our imagination, but there are always areas in the world that you don’t understand and are not good at... I also have my own experience, insights, channels and resources. She and I may be able to help you at some point in the future. You accomplish trivial things that are inconvenient for you to do.'"

Klein recalled the very beginning of the Tarot Club, and a rare playful smile appeared on his face. He said to Alger, and to him at that time:

“People are always so bold when they are ignorant.”

Bold enough to talk freely about the ideal of becoming an extraordinary person in front of an unknown high-ranking person and a stranger;

Bold enough to use such straightforward words to ask those in high positions to open a ‘party’ for him;

And, bold enough to dare to use the title "The Fool".

Antigonus was stunned for a moment, and the legendary "Rose of Redemption" flashed through his mind at an inappropriate time.

As a country angel who was forced to struggle for his life with his sister because of the goddess of the night during the Third Age, and spent almost the entire era hiding in the mountains of the Northern Continent, Antigonus certainly had no chance of being invited to that feast, but this was It does not prevent him from understanding the inside story and witnessing the shocking tragedy after the sun sets in the top auditorium in the northern continent.

Thinking of this, he had to admire "Dark Demonic Wolf" Kotal. Although he was timid and good at escaping, and was a bit of a loser, he dared to stay in the god-forsaken land where hundreds of people were killed. Thousands of years, Antigonus himself would not dare.

However, the original "Redemption Rose" was gathered by the ancient Sun God for the purpose of committing suicide. They must all be gods and strong men close to the gods. However, judging from the characteristics of the two paths adjacent to him, including the "mysterious one" just now, "Lord" himself talked about the meeting in a joking tone, and Antigonus didn't even think that the meeting itself was of high value.

They shouldn't be strong people, because strong people at the angel level will realize what this place is.

But it shouldn't be too weak, because the weak are not worth playing with. Even Amon's clone will not play with the existence under the demigod. It is a pure waste of time.

Therefore, the most "fun" should be those Extraordinaries who are in the mid-sequence, around the demigods, who have a little understanding of the mysterious world but know nothing about the higher-ups. Playing with these people who think they know a lot and are very qualified and capable , is the most interesting.

"They really helped me a lot, so I became more and more interested in human beings' little game of 'equivalent exchange'. They also benefited from it, and they all respected me."

"Since I woke up, meetings have been started hundreds of times."

“Everyone gets what they need and looks forward to the weekly meetings.”

When Klein recalled the words of the Tarot Society members and their nervous and reserved appearance when they first arrived, Antigonus had already laughed in his heart and held a moment of silence for these poor little toys— - He doesn’t think that the Lord of Mysteries will seriously play this little game of equivalent exchange. Where is there a standard of “equivalence” in this world? What's more, this is the incarnation of the past. Even if the other party just says a few words casually and gives a piece of shitty knowledge, those little guys who got the information may not be able to afford it even if they sell their souls.

Besides, what could the Lord of Mysteries need?

If He had been releasing information without mentioning conditions, or even just providing this venue, then these transactions would have unknowingly become His unilateral charity, a game board that exists according to His preferences.

"You will give me your identity and uniqueness."

Klein said slowly, while meeting Antigonus' eyes.

The other party couldn't see his eyes, but he vaguely found the right position, stared at the gray fog on his face, and pretended to be looking at him.

Antigonus smiled: "Yes, I have no choice."

"But the fact that you are here now means that I will also give you an opportunity for equal exchange."

Klein's short answer quickly disappeared in the magnificent temple and the diffuse mist, but it set off a big storm in Antigonus's heart. However, these words echoed for a long time, stirring up waves one after another. A circle of ripples.

"Exchange of equal value..."

Hearing these words, Antigonus was silent for a long time - not too long, but to Him, it was already a long time.

After a while, the "Half Fool" slowly loosened his fist, let out a long sigh, and once again looked up at the figure in the gray mist:

"What should I call you?"

Klein felt that the scene in front of him became more and more familiar, because more than one person had asked him this question. After hearing these words, he tapped his fingers twice on the long bronze table. Then he leaned back, took back his right hand, crossed his fingers and put it on his chin, looked at Antigonus with a smile and said:

"You can call me..."

Having said this, he paused and spoke softly and calmly:

"The Fool."

"Half Fool" heard this and pursed his lips, but said nothing. The wolf had to bow his head in Source Castle.

Klein felt guilty and wanted to look away. He also felt that his actions today in order to stabilize his character and patch up what he had done before were enough. He also made Antigonus angry again and again—— Klein still vividly remembers the way the opponent's astral body was covered in angry red, resembling a human-shaped red lantern.

Antigonus' communication became slightly more proactive than before, and he asked directly:

"How much is my soul worth? How much are my extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness worth?"

"If I want Badheir to die, what else should I give?"

After saying this, He added another sentence with great self-knowledge:

"I can't take out anything else. My family should have countless treasures, but in the thousands of years I have been sleeping, they should have been plucked out one by one by Amanysis. Even if you still want to If you want more, I have nothing to give you.”

At the end, Antigonus pursed his lips and suddenly asked:

"Are any of my descendants still alive?"

"The Abraham family is still passed down secretly, but what about my descendants? Do they know the origin of their bloodline? Do they still remember their original surname?"

Klein did not answer, nor did he ask Antigonus to perform divination on Sefirah Castle. He just said calmly:

"The Church of the Night used the 'Antigonus Puppet' to find your descendants."

Antigonus's face changed again and again, and finally fell silent again.

"Even if they still exist, they have long forgotten their identity, their ancestors, and the pride of their family... Then they are no longer my descendants, so let them live unconsciously like this."

Klein did not answer this sentence. He brought the question back to the beginning:

"Whether you are more valuable alive or dead is something that needs to be observed."

"Other than that, barely enough."

"Do you need subordinates? Do you need attendants?" Considering that the Lord of Mysteries would not need an anchor and would most likely not be able to build a church, Antigonus, who was on the "divineer" path, immediately thought of the Sequence One potion. He was not surprised, and just shook his head calmly, "If you want an attendant, you can choose Bethel. He is educated and tasteful. Although I don't have any human aesthetics, I also know that His image is very good. And I have no interest in living anymore, you can make me a secret puppet."

Klein was a little surprised:

"You don't want to live?"

He didn't think about taking the other person's life, but he didn't expect that the other person wanted to take his own life.

He even recommended Bethel over and over again...

Antigonus shook his head again: "If you need an attendant, you can ask Bethel to serve."

"I just want to die and be part of history, to reunite with my sister, brother and father in the mists of history."

"Although I have been sleeping in Honakis, I have been away from there for too long. I long to die, long to sleep, and long to go home, even if it is just to see them for the last time."

Klein fell into silence for a moment.

Then, he resumed his role as the Lord of Mysteries and said with a light smile:

"OK."
