Chapter 40: The "Infectiousness" of Parasitism
Mr. "Fool" also has "secret" authority...... Leonard suddenly understood why the old man had made a point of mentioning the secret blessing.
Without waiting for him to respond, Klein added:
"Also, tell Parles Zoroaster that Amon is likely aware of an angel in the area around Berlund Street. β
This...... Leonard's pupils opened and blurted out:
"How would He know?"
It's not convenient to tell you this...... Klein muttered in his heart, and then spoke quite seriously:
"I'm not Amon. β
"You deduced it from some of His actions and words?" Leonard subconsciously asked.
No, I "told" Him...... Klein smiled and replied.
Really...... Leonard nodded secretly:
"No problem, I'll tell the old man. β
He paused and said:
"Are you waiting for Him to give him a concrete plan?"
Klein gave an "um":
"When it comes to Amun's understanding of the ways of the 'thief', few beings are better than Him. β
Speaking of which, having deduced that Amon would not come to Berklund Street for some time, he calmly added:
"Don't rush to respond, I'll give feedback tomorrow at the tarot party. β
It doesn't seem to be too urgent...... Leonard read the most important message from Klein's words, nodded slightly:
"Okay, we'll discuss the details tomorrow at the tarot party. β
Having decided on this matter, Klein immediately got up and saluted to the location of the "Light Gate":
"Mr. Fool, we are done. β
Leonard had barely followed to his feet, and before he could make any movements, his vision blurred, completely enveloped by the soaring crimson starlight.
By the time he came to his senses, he had already returned to the sparse woods on the outskirts of the North District.
"Is there anything you want to tell me?" said Parles Zoroast's slightly aged voice.
Leonard cleared his throat and said:
"Klein told me that he was a secret confidant and could try to ask for help. β
"Secret Dependent, it ......," sighed Pales, "that if he can really ask for the secret protection, I will help in dealing with Amun and finding out all the doppelgangers he has hidden in Bakeland." β
Leonard was not surprised by this answer, and said "hey":
"Old man, you're not as weak as you say!"
Parles Zoroaster laughed without being angry at all:
"Didn't you turn to the Russell Quotations? I remember there was a saying on it: 'A skinny camel is bigger than a horse.'" β
"It depends on what breed of horse and what breed of camel. Leonard habitually retorted, and instead asked, "Old man, what are you going to do with Amon?
"Ahem!" replied in a bad manner, "In that case, you will face Amon's body, not the clone, and when the time comes, it will most likely lead to a divine war, and I will have a chance to escape, and you may not be able to return to the dark heaven of the night." β
"......," Leonard could only respond with a sneer.
Parles Zoroaster continues:
"Unlike the similar abilities of other paths, Amon's clone can quickly grow itself by absorbing the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Thief' path, splitting into more 'Time Worms' and parasitizing them into different organisms, as long as the extraordinary characteristics are sufficient, this process can continue forever......"
"Isn't this, like a plague infection?" Leonard heard again, sending chills down his spine.
If the extraordinary properties of the "Thief" path are enough, Amun's doppelganger can grow from parasitic one person to everyone in the city!
"Almost. Parles Zoroasd confirmed Leonard's guess and sighed, "If you want to deal with Amon, you can only start from this aspect, and fish him out with the extraordinary characteristics of the 'thief' through the demigod level, as long as you can successfully solve one of the clones, the rest will have a way to recover and clear it, however, Amon is a master of the fraud field, you must be careful enough, otherwise there will be a situation where it looks like you are fishing for him, but in fact he is fishing for you, in this matter, secrecy is very important!"
"I see. Leonard let out a small sigh and asked instead, "How powerful is Amon's clone?"
Parles Zoroaster was silent for several seconds as if in memory, and then said:
"Theoretically, his strongest doppelganger would be able to reach the level of Sequence 1, but it would be almost impossible for him to do so, which would cause him to be mentally unstable and out of control.
"Generally speaking, one of his clones is a 'Time Worm', initially with the strength of weak Sequence 4, but with the essence of an angel such as crushing extraordinary characteristics. After fully absorbing the extraordinary properties of the 'Thief' path, such a clone can reach the second rank of the sequence, but Amon rarely does this, and his clone will actively split to create more clones.
And, judging from Beckland's actual situation, it would be difficult for him to gather the extraordinary traits that allowed the clone to grow to Sequence 2. β
Leonard thought carefully for a moment and said:
"So, we will be facing a group of Amun, among them, most of them are weak Sequence 4 strength, a small number have normal Sequence 4 level, and a few can reach Sequence 3?"
"In Amon's style, that's how it should be, but you have to remember that Amon is good at cheating. "In addition, according to the time when Amon's clone arrived in Baekland, he will not collect too many extraordinary characteristics of the 'thief' path, after all, this is Bakeland, and if the situation is not right, his doppelganger will take the strongest one as the core, and take the initiative to gather together, so that the essence can be climbed, and the most important thing to deal with Amon is not to let things develop to this stage, otherwise, even if an angel from the hidden realm comes, he will not be able to prevent Amon from escaping." β
"It's really hard to deal with, this is just a clone thrown out at random and developed freely, worthy of the king of angels......" Leonard sighed for a while, suddenly remembered Klein's reminder, and hurriedly said, "Amon seems to have locked on a demigod of the 'thief' path, Klein is the one who met Amon when he was tracking the latter, and Amon seems to know that there is an angel of the 'thief' path hidden in the area around Berklund Street......"
Parles Zoroaster was silent again, and did not speak for a long time.
After a while, just when Leonard couldn't help but want to urge, he exhaled and said:
"How can your former colleague be in the same trouble as you?"
"What?" Leonard looked dazed.
Parles Zoroasd said angrily:
"Amon knows that there is a 'thief' hiding in the area around Berklund Street, and the matter of passing through the angel is probably related to him!"
"Old man, you, you did 'decryption' with your abilities?" asked Leonard, slightly surprised.
Pales snorted:
"I'm using my brain!
"Otherwise, why do you think there's the prefix Berlund Street?"
...... Also, there's no way to get around Dawn Dantès in connection with Berlund Street...... Could it be that Klein guy is causing the trouble? Leonard came to his senses.
At this time, Pales exhaled and said:
"Fortunately, he only said it was an angel and didn't mention my name, otherwise my advice would have been to leave Beckland as soon as possible.
"You tell him that there are two ways to do it:
"One is to collect the '1' level seal of the 'thief' path, or find the demigod of the 'thief' path, so as to design a trap, this whole process must be under the protection of secrecy, and it must be natural, reasonable, normal, and there is no place for doubt;
"The second is to wait for Amon to enter Berlund Street himself, he will most likely use a mix of 'taking someone's identity' and 'sneaking out of the air', so your former colleague must be able to see through the grafting of fate, or be able to detect the anomalies of tiny creatures, otherwise, no matter how much he plans, he will only bring food to Amon. β
Leonard's eyelids jumped when he heard this, and he nodded solemnly:
"I'll discuss these things with him tomorrow afternoon. β
"Hmm. Parles Zoroaster sighed again, "Also, if I can get rid of all of Amon's clones in Beckland, most of the 'Time Worms' left behind will belong to me." β
It's a complement, no wonder the old man wants to take the risk...... Leonard asked abruptly:
"Those 'Time Worms' contain the extraordinary properties of the 'Thief' path?"
"What is true in my hands may not be with others. Pales explained simply, "The 'Time Worm' left behind after the death of Amon's clone did contain enough extraordinary properties at first, but this will soon be lost, and it will return to its original form, and it must have the corresponding ability to prevent this phenomenon from happening." β
Leonard nodded first, and then asked puzzledly:
"Then why is the 'Stealer' spell made by the 'Time Worm' so powerful?"
Parles sneered:
"Have you forgotten the essence of the spell?
"The essence is to pray for power from a high-ranking being, and fix the power obtained with the materials that can be carried and the corresponding symbols, and the role of the 'Worm of Time' in this is a unique carrying material, which can meet the needs if the level is high enough, the essence is in line, and the spirituality is enough. β
"So, the power of the 'Stealer' charm actually comes from Mr. 'Fool'?" Leonard asked thoughtfully.
Parles Zoroasde laughed:
"Yes, you can also try asking Amun to use his power to make the 'Stealer' charm.
"Also, the uniqueness of the carrying material will also affect the effect of the final forming charm, in other words, the nature of the response power that can be induced by different special materials is different, hey, the charm is a very profound and complex science, not a simple study can be mastered thoroughly, you have to use a snack. β
Leonard was a little ashamed.
............
On Monday afternoon, using the power of the mysterious space above the gray fog to observe the Hazel family, Klein, who confirmed that there was no problem for the time being, patiently waited for the tarot gathering to be held.
Streams of crimson light burst out of the ancient palace and then subsided.
"Justice" Audrey got up without a pause and saluted to the top of the mottled table:
"Good afternoon, Mr. 'Fool'~"
