Mr. Fool also has the authority of Concealment … Leonard was enlightened as he understood why Old Man had specially mentioned the blessings of Concealment.
Without waiting for his response, Klein added, "That's right.
"In addition, tell Pallez Zoroast that Amon might very well know that there's a Marauder pathway angel around Boklund Street."
This … Leonard's pupils dilated as he blurted out, "That's right.
"How did he know?"
It's not convenient for me to tell you that … Klein mumbled inwardly before saying in a rather serious tone, "That's right.
"I'm not Amon."
"You deduced it from some of 'His' actions and words?" Leonard subconsciously asked in return.
No, I was the one who "told" him … Klein chuckled as an answer.
As expected … Leonard nodded to himself.
"No problem, I will tell the old man."
He paused for a moment before continuing.
"Are you waiting for him to give you a specific plan?"
Klein hummed in acknowledgment.
"In terms of Amon's understanding of the Marauder pathway, few existences are better than 'Him.'"
Having said that, he calmly added after deducing that Amon wouldn't be coming to Böklund Street for some time.
"There's no rush to respond. Give me your feedback at the Tarot Gathering tomorrow."
It seems that the matter isn't too urgent … Leonard interpreted the most important information from Klein's words and nodded slightly.
"Alright, we'll discuss the details at the Tarot Gathering tomorrow."
After settling this matter, Klein immediately stood up and bowed towards the door of light.
"Mr. Fool, we're done."
Leonard had just stood up, but before he could do anything, his vision was blurred by the soaring crimson starlight.
When he woke up, he had already returned to the sparse forest on the outskirts of the Northern District.
"Is there anything you wish to pass on to me?" Pallez Zoroast's slightly aged voice sounded.
Leonard cleared his throat.
"Klein told me that he is a Favored of Concealment, so I can try to ask for help."
"Blessed of Concealment, indeed …" Pallez sighed. "Tell him that as long as he can really pray for the blessings of Concealment, I'm willing to provide help in dealing with Amon and finding all of 'His' avatars hidden in Baekeland."
Leonard was not surprised by this answer.
"Old man, you're not as weak as you said!"
Pallez Zoroast chuckled without any hint of anger.
"Didn't you read 'Rosell's Quotations'? I remember there's a saying, 'A skinny camel is still bigger than a horse'. "
"It depends on the breed of horse and camel." Leonard retorted out of habit. Then he asked, "Old man, how should we deal with Amon? Are you going to use yourself as bait? "
"Cough!" "That way, I'll be facing Amon's main body and not his avatar. At that time, it'll most likely trigger a divine battle. I'll still have a chance to escape, but you might not even be able to return to the Tenebrous Heaven of Evernight."
"…" Leonard could only reply with an awkward smile.
Pallez Zoroast continued.
Unlike the similar powers of other pathways, Amon's avatars can rapidly strengthen themselves by absorbing the Beyonder characteristics of the Marauder pathway. They can split into more Worms of Time and parasitize different creatures. As long as there are enough Beyonder characteristics, this process can continue …
"Isn't, isn't this like a plague infection?" Leonard felt a chill down his spine.
If he had enough Beyonder characteristics of the Marauder pathway, Amon's avatar could go from parasitizing a single person to parasitizing everyone in the city!
"Something like that." Pallez Zoroast confirmed Leonard's guess and sighed. "To deal with Amon, we can only start from this aspect. We can use the Marauder pathway's demigod-level Beyonder characteristics to fish 'Him' out. As long as we can successfully finish off one of 'His' avatars, there's a way to track down and eliminate the rest. However, Amon is a Master of deception. We have to be careful; otherwise, it might seem like we're fishing for 'Him,' but in fact, 'He' is fishing for you. In this matter, secrecy is of utmost importance!"
"I understand." Leonard exhaled softly and asked, "How powerful can Amon's avatar be?"
Pallez Zoroast fell silent for a few seconds as though he was recalling something.
Then, he said, "In theory, 'His' strongest avatar can reach the level of a Sequence 1, but it's almost impossible for 'Him' to do so. This will make 'His' mental state unstable and cause 'Him' to lose control.
"Typically, one of 'His' avatars is a Worm of Time. In the beginning, it has the strength of a weak Sequence 4, but it has the qualities of an angel, such as Shattering Beyonder characteristics. After fully absorbing the Marauder pathway's Beyonder characteristics, such an avatar can reach the level of a Sequence 2. However, Amon rarely does so. 'His' avatar will automatically split to create more avatars.
"Furthermore, based on Baekeland's actual situation, it's very difficult for 'Him' to gather the Beyonder characteristics to allow 'His' avatar to grow to Sequence 2."
Leonard thought carefully and said, "Therefore, we will be facing a bunch of Amons.
Among them, most of them have the strength of a weak Sequence 4. A small number of them have the strength of a normal Sequence 4, and a few of them can reach Sequence 3? "
"With Amon's style, that should be the case. However, you have to remember that Amon is good at deception," Pallez Zoroast reminded. "In addition, based on the time it took for Amon's avatar to arrive in Baekeland, the number of Marauder pathway Beyonder characteristics' He 'gathered wouldn't be too many. After all, this is Baekeland. Also, if the situation isn't right,' His' avatars will use the strongest one as the core and take the initiative to gather together, allowing 'His' essence to rise. The most important thing to deal with Amon is to not let the matter develop to this stage. Otherwise, even an angel in the domain of concealment wouldn't be able to stop Amon from escaping."
"How difficult to deal with. And this is just an avatar that was randomly thrown out to develop freely. As expected of a King of Angels …" After sighing, Leonard suddenly recalled Klein's warning. He hurriedly said, "Amon seems to have locked onto a demigod of the Marauder pathway. Klein encountered Amon while tracking the latter. Also, Amon seems to know that there's a Marauder pathway angel hiding around Böklund Street …"
Pallez Zoroast fell silent again and didn't speak for a long time.
After a while, just as Leonard couldn't help but urge "Him", "He" exhaled.
"Why is your ex-colleague in the same trouble as you?"
"What?" Leonard was confused.
Pallez Zoroast said angrily, "That's right.
Amon knows that there's a Marauder pathway angel hidden around Böklund Street. It's likely related to him!
"Old man, y-you used your ability to decrypt it?" Leonard asked in surprise.
Pallez snorted.
"I use my brain!
"Otherwise, why do you think it has the prefix Boklund Street?"
… That's right. Anything related to Böklund Street has to do with Dawn Dantès … Could it be Klein's fault again? Leonard came to a realization.
At this moment, Pallez exhaled.
"Thankfully, he only said it's an angel and didn't mention my name. Otherwise, my suggestion would be to leave Baekeland as soon as possible.
"Tell him that there are two solutions:
"First, gather a Grade 1 Sealed Artifact of the Marauder pathway, or find a demigod of the Marauder pathway to design a trap. This entire process has to be under the protection of Concealment. Furthermore, it has to be natural, reasonable, and normal. There's nothing suspicious about it.
"Second, wait for Amon to enter Böklund Street himself. He might very well use a mixture of 'assuming someone's identity' and 'infiltrating through the air.' Therefore, your ex-colleague has to be able to see through the grafting of fate or detect the abnormalities of microscopic creatures. Otherwise, no matter how he plans, he will only be delivering food to Amon."
Leonard's eyelids twitched as he nodded solemnly.
"I'll discuss these matters with him tomorrow afternoon."
"Okay." Pallez Zoroast sighed again. "Also, if all of Amon's avatars in Baekeland can be wiped out, most of the remaining Worms of Time will belong to me."
Is this some kind of supplement? No wonder the old man wanted to take the risk … Leonard asked in realization,
Those Worms of Time contain Beyonder characteristics of the Marauder pathway?
"It's like that in my hands, but it might not be the same for others." "The Worms of Time left behind by Amon's avatars do contain sufficient Beyonder characteristics in the beginning, but they will quickly drain and return to the main body. One needs the corresponding powers to prevent such a phenomenon from happening."
Leonard nodded his head, then asked in confusion,
Then why is the Luck Siphon charm created by a Worm of Time so powerful?
Pallez scoffed.
"Have you forgotten the nature of talismans?
"In essence, it's to pray for strength from a high-level existence. Then, it uses materials and corresponding symbols to stabilize the strength obtained. The role of a Worm of Time is to act as a unique material. As long as one's level is high enough, their intrinsic qualities are compatible, and their spirituality is sufficient, they can satisfy the requirements."
"So, the power of the Fate Siphon charm actually comes from Mr. Fool?" Leonard asked in thought.
Pallez Zoroast chuckled and said, "That's right.
You can also try praying to Amon and use 'His' powers to create the Fate Siphon charm.
"Also, the uniqueness of the material will also affect the effects of the final charm. In other words, different special materials can trigger different types of power. Sigh, charms are a very profound and complicated field of study. It's not something that can be completely grasped after learning a little. You have to put in some effort."
Leonard immediately felt a little ashamed.
…
On Monday afternoon, after using the powers of the mysterious space above the gray fog to observe Hazel's family and confirm that there were no problems, Klein patiently waited for the Tarot Gathering to begin.
Dark red beams of light shot up in the ancient palace before calming down.
Audrey didn't pause as she stood up and bowed at the end of the long, mottled table.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool ~"
