Part 6 Lightseekers Chapter 9 Confirmation
They don’t give their blessing …… Derek was a little confused by the answer, and didn’t quite understand it.
In the afternoon camp, when he handed over the “Silver Knight” magic potion formula to Chief Colin Iliad, the other party had praised him for his great contribution, believing that the upper limit of the Silver City would no longer be Sequence 4, and the language didn’t reveal the slightest intention of seeking the blessing of an external power.
Therefore, Derek has always believed that the chief can use the two pieces of God-level sealing objects, to complete the “Silver Knight” promotion ceremony, at this time inevitably a little surprised.
The chief did not know that the two god-level seals would not give blessings, and then returned to Silver City, only to discover this problem? Derek subconsciously made a certain guess, and without asking more questions, nodded heavily:
”Alright, I will endeavor to help you seek the blessings of the gods.”
”Demon hunter,” Colin exhaled wordlessly and pointed to the doorway:
”The room across the hall is empty.”
Derek whirled around, passed through the doorway, crossed the corridor, and entered the half-open room.
Then he found a seat and chanted in a low voice:
”Fools who do not belong to this age;
”The mysterious lord above the gray mist;
”The yellow and black king of good fortune. ……”
Inside the “Source Castle”, hidden in the gray mist, the crimson star representing the “Sun” expanded and contracted dramatically, repeating the process over and over again, emitting circle after circle of light containing prayers.
Not far from here, the crimson star representing the Magician remained in a similar state because the Fool never responded, and the circles of light, ripples and vibrations created by the two gradually intertwined, superimposed, and became more and more intense.
Under the light of a bolt of lightning, carrying a leather lantern, walking within the river valley, Klein felt that the illusory cascade of prayers in his ears became more noisy, more chaotic, and louder.
However, Klein realized that he could hear a little bit more clearly, not only could he tell that the prayers were coming from a woman and a man, but also vaguely grasped a certain content: the woman seemed to mention “the world” and “Bechlend”, and the man used the language of giants, the keyword seemed to be rituals. The key word seems to be ritual.
Ceremony, giant language …… This is the little “sun” side …… Uh, the chief wants to get the blessing of Mr. “Fool”? Mr. Fool’s blessing? “Mr. Fool wants a blessing now too. …… The woman could be Miss Magician, or Miss Justice. “Ms. …… Klein pulled the corner of his mouth with difficulty, and looked sideways at Amon, who was wearing a peaked floppy hat and a monocle next to him, and said:
”Can I go to the ‘Source Castle’ to answer prayers?”
”What do you say?” Amon asked rhetorically, amused, after a moment’s bafflement.
”If you’re going to play such a game, why don’t you make it a little more exciting?” In fact, Klein didn’t even have any hope for that request just now, because as long as he could return to the “Source Castle”, he could use the power there to initially get out of his predicament, which was equivalent to directly asking Amon to let him go.
The only reason he mentioned it was to start a conversation.
Amon rested his knuckles against the crystal monocle and laughed:
”As the ‘God of Mischief’, I’ve lived from the Third Age until now, and I think you should know very well what that means.
”Well, what is there to ask?”
…… This is accurately grasping my mindset and thoughts ah …… Klein secretly sighed and opened his mouth to ask:
”Why did you ‘parasitize’ the Silver City Exploration Squad in the first place, and also very patiently stayed in the dungeon for decades.”
Amon nodded his head and replied with a relaxed posture:
”I had a premonition at the time that extremely important information would be gained in Silver City, and now, that prophecy has come true, hasn’t it, Mr. ‘Fool’?”
…… did all that just to wait for the Tarot Club to wait for me? This “Stealer” path of the King of Angels seems to be able to see to a certain extent the “Source Castle” on the destiny of the disturbance ah …… Klein completely did not expect the answer would be this, a moment actually He didn’t know how to continue the conversation.
After ten seconds or so, he sighed and said:
”You are so patient.”
A King of Angels who loved pranks was able to lurk in a dark dungeon with little fun for decades.
”It has nothing to do with patience, it didn’t take me long.” Amon replied casually.
…… I’m still used to measuring deities on a human scale, for Amon, who was born a complete mythological creature, a few decades really isn’t much,k the real age may be over three thousand years old …… Klein adjusted his cognition and asked again:
”Silver City should be one of the few places that still holds on to the belief in your father, would you have gone too far with what you did to that questing team?”
The question seemed unnecessary, but Klein thought it would help him understand Amon’s perceived views and style of behavior to see if there was anything he could use.
Amon turned his head sideways and glanced at him with his right eye, which wore a monocle, and laughed without much concern:
”If they didn’t still believe in my father, Silver City would be a relic by now.
”Oh, from what I’ve observed, they are harboring a not-so-small secret, what exactly, because of the ‘inverted hanged man’ and your watchful eye, I haven’t had the time to pry.”
……真是天生的神话生物啊，单纯几个人类的死亡对k来说可能就是踩死几只蚂蚁，根本不会放在心上 ……Silver City surprisingly still hides a secret that makes even Amon feel not small… …What could it be? Klein thoughtfully changed the topic:
”Is it true that ‘Dark Angel’ Sasriel was created by your father from one of his own ribs?”
It was something Klein had wanted to ask all the way through, but hadn’t found the opportunity to do so.
The smile on Amon’s face faded quite a bit as he looked ahead into the deep darkness:
”Yes, k separated a part of his own characteristics and the corresponding negative personality, and used his own ribcage as a material to create the ‘Dark Angel’ Saslir.
”If not for that, how could an arrogant and pompous fellow like Medici obey the so-called left hand of God, the vice-regent of heaven?
”If it wasn’t for Saslir’s rebellion, involvement, and influence, even if the Darkness, Earth, God of War, and the rest of the Angelic Kings had joined forces, there would have been no way that my father would have fallen.”
Sure enough …… “Dark Angel” Saslir is the most important breaking point …… No wonder the goddess had to compel k… …Who would have thought she would betray herself? Klein’s suspicions about the divine war were initially confirmed, and he felt that the “Ancient Scholar” magic potion had been digested a little more.
He deliberately hesitated and raised a guess:
”Could your father have foreseen such a development? Was ‘Dark Angel’ Sasriel at the same time the key setup for K’s resurrection and return?”
Amon gave a sudden laugh:
”You’re asking so much to digest the ‘Ancient Scholar’ magic potion even further, aren’t you?”
…… Klein put on the appearance of almost breaking into a cold sweat and quickly adjusted his mind and said:
”I’m just curious, what are you looking for, what are you pursuing by wandering in the Godforsaken Land? There is no ‘Stealer’ Pathway Sequence 1 Extraordinary Trait or ‘Source Fortress’ that you lack here?
”Trying to resurrect your father?”
Amon said as he kept his smile from earlier and eyed ahead:
”Yes and no.
”My paranoid brother is so close to resurrecting my father that he probably no longer needs my help.”
Adam seriously wants to resurrect the ancient sun god? I thought it was purely for his own achievement sequence0……Klein unabashedly mentally called out the name of the leader of the “Dusk Hermits”.
He even expected Adam to come and beat up K’s brother.
Of course, a beating was not in the style of the King of Angels of the Audience Pathway.
”No need to pronounce k’s name, k won’t care about my business, and I won’t care about k’s business, I don’t call k Adam, purely because I think the nickname of paranoid is very suitable for k. I have to say, that Medici guy is very gifted in picking up nicknames, and also, even if I say k’s name, and don’t want k to hear it, k won’t be able to hear it.” At that point, Amon, who was wearing a pointed fedora, laughed and poked at Klein’s little thought.
Next, Klein did not mention the “dark angel” thing, because Amon obviously will not answer.
Not long after, one of the angels came out of the river valley and saw a dead city-state.
Most of the city’s buildings had collapsed, and the rest had pointed tops, as if to symbolize towers leading to heaven.
Dark red vine-like plants grew on their surfaces, bearing a fruit that he didn’t know if he could eat or not.
Entering the city-state, Klein found a sarcophagus in front of every house, in which lay corpses that were either white bones or just a little bit decomposed.
What they all had in common was that they were very deformed, some had four legs, some had slits in their eyebrows, some lacked skin and directly showed flesh and blood, and some had arms wrapped around their necks like tails.
”This was originally a city-state that believed in the Immortal Bird, but later converted to my father’s beliefs, but retained some customs related to death.” Amon, who wore a monocle, casually surveyed the surroundings and said, “After the Cataclysm, they were left behind in the God Forsaken Land, but there were no edible, more normal plants found around them, so they had to feed on the contaminated monsters, and in this way, from generation to generation, all of them developed physical deformities and mental disorders, and then they were, completely overthrown.”
The “cataclysm” brought about by the assassination of the Creator of Silver City by the goddesses was really a civilization disaster. …… Before that, there were elf civilizations, giant civilizations, immortal bird civilizations, and so on and so forth on this land, and after that, there were only a few traces of them left. …… Klein associated with the city-state that was swallowed by the earth before, a sigh of relief.
In the history books and the occult, that period of history is called the “Cataclysm”, which is indeed very apt.
He thought for a moment and said:
”Why are we entering this city-state instead of going around it?”
Amon smiled and said:
”In the Second Age, the Immortal Patriarchs not only held the ‘Death’ pathway, but also occupied part of the ‘Apprentice’ pathway, so some of the arrangements here can become loopholes that I can utilize to shorten our journey to our final destination… .”
Klein’s expression suddenly sank slightly.
