A few minutes later, the German Sparrow Klein and Miss Justice Audrey walked out of 39 Böklund Street and headed for the other Parasites' residences.
After walking in silence for a few steps, Klein suddenly looked ahead and said,
"Such a situation isn't rare among wild Beyonders. Without suitable guidance, it often means that one is constantly walking on the edge of a cliff and might fall at any moment."
Audrey grunted in acknowledgment. After a few seconds, she said,
"I know, I'm no longer as …"
She deliberated for a moment and curled up the corners of her mouth slightly. As if she was laughing at herself, she found a suitable adjective.
"Naive."
"Phew …" She exhaled without hiding it and looked ahead. "Back in June last year, if I knew that the mysterious World was so cruel and terrifying, I might not have made the request to become a Beyonder."
Klein tilted his head slightly and looked at the noble lady's face.
"Then I'll give you a chance to completely get rid of the mysterious World. Will you accept it?"
Audrey was taken aback. She slowly pursed her lips and said,
"I won't …"
After giving such an answer, she seemed to relax a little. She smiled and said to herself, "Don't worry.
Knowing how cruel and terrifying the mysterious World is, I would've given up on becoming a Beyonder before last June, but I won't do so this year.
"Perhaps this is the price of growth."
"I understand what you mean." Klein continued walking at an unhurried pace. He changed the topic and said, "After those Parasites are completely purified, a portion of them will spit out Worms of Time. These can be used to create Fate Siphon charms. They're at the demigod level and can change the fates of enemies and allies for a short period of time. When the time comes, I'll give you one as the consultation fee for today."
Just as Audrey was about to refuse, she suddenly fell silent. Then she nodded slightly and said,
"Alright."
Just as she finished speaking, she suddenly paused and glanced sideways at the German Sparrow. She smiled with a slightly complicated expression.
"I understand why you asked that question just now."
Klein chuckled and did not give a direct answer.
Audrey retracted her gaze. Her mood seemed to have lightened up a lot.
"I just participated in the punishment operation at noon, and now I'm here to deal with the aftermath of Amon's matter in the afternoon. Today is really Tarot Day …"
Her words had a double meaning, and she sighed with emotion.
From her point of view, noon would be the Tarot's "Moon," "Star," "Justice," "Judgment," and "Magicians" working together in different ways. In the afternoon, the Tarot's "World" and "Justice" would participate in the elimination of Amon's avatars from different perspectives. This day was indeed memorable. It could be considered a "Tarot Day" in a sense.
Klein nodded in agreement with Miss Justice's words, but he didn't tell her that Leonard had also participated in the afternoon's operation and was one of the main forces.
"Amon's avatar should be very difficult to deal with, right?" Audrey finally found the opportunity to ask this question.
She stared at German Sparrow, her green eyes filled with undisguised curiosity.
Klein smiled.
"If I were to rely on myself, the German Sparrow you saw might essentially be Amon."
"Stealing fate and identity?" Audrey asked in enlightenment.
Klein tersely acknowledged.
"I'll tell you the details later. In short, in order to eliminate all of Amon's avatars in Baekeland, we mobilized an angel.
"In the future, if you encounter Amon's avatars, don't think that you have a way to deal with them. Immediately find an opportunity to pray. Yes, 'His' characteristic is that he likes to wear a monocle and likes to pull scary pranks …"
An angel has been mobilized … I wonder if it's that Death Consul, an angel from the Fate domain, or … Audrey looked up into the sky and saw that the clouds were frozen. They didn't move at all, as though they were props in the dark background.
Like a student listening to a teacher's lecture, she nodded solemnly and seriously.
"I'll keep that in mind."
The two didn't stop walking. At times, they would be silent, and at other times, they would casually chat until they entered 160 Böklund Street.
A few minutes later, in the activity room of Hazel's house.
Macht and company suddenly had a strong urge to raise their hands in their seats and place them in front of their mouths and noses. They piously began praying and chanting the honorific name of the Evernight Goddess.
After an unknown period of time, they coughed violently, to the point of tears and snot flowing out.
Cough! Cough! Cough!
Unknowingly, they had each coughed out a worm with twelve translucent rings.
The moment the worm landed on the ground, it vanished without anyone noticing it.
Similar things happened in other parts of Böklund Street, but everything quickly returned to normal. And at some point in time, the darkness in the sky had faded as the clouds began to flow with the wind again.
Hazel slowly woke up from her parents' coughing. She was puzzled as to why she had fallen asleep on the sofa in the middle of afternoon tea.
She felt that she should be in a good mood today, but she couldn't squeeze out a smile. It was as though there was an indescribable sorrow and pain in her heart.
Seeing her parents casting concerned looks at her, not only did she not feel touched, she even flinched and trembled. It was as though she was an introverted person who wasn't used to interacting with others.
Hazel knew that this wasn't her character, but she couldn't control her reaction.
However, she didn't find it odd or puzzled. She continued enjoying the afternoon tea and snacks.
It was the same for Macht and Ma 'am Riana. They had a nagging feeling that certain matters were blurry and impossible to recall.
…
160 Böklund Street. In the master bedroom with the curtains drawn.
A figure suddenly outlined itself on the opposite side of the coffee table. It was none other than the barefooted ascetic leader, matron of the Evernight cloister, and the head of the thirteen archbishops of the Church of Evernight, Arianna.
In this lady's eyes, the white-sideburned Dawn Dantès was leaning forward slightly from the sofa. On the coffee table in front of him were nine translucent ringed worms.
"Good afternoon, Your Highness Arianna." Klein bowed solemnly and said, "Thanks to the help you provided, all of Amon's avatars in Baekeland have been wiped out. You can choose your share from these spoils of war."
He had previously arranged a marionette beside every Parasite and used an illusion to retrieve these Worms of Time.
Upon hearing his words, Arianna tapped her chest four times in a clockwise fashion and replied piously, "Praise the Lady."
"She" didn't decline or stand on ceremony.
"She" extended "Her" right hand and made two Worms of Time fly up and land in "Her" palm.
"Amon will definitely have his guesses. You have to be careful in the future as well," Arianna said simply before her figure vanished inch by inch as though she had been wiped away.
After watching the archbishop leave, Klein sat down and picked up a pen and paper to write to Leonard Mitchell.
He wanted to ask what other effects the Worms of Time had apart from being able to create Fate Siphon charms!
He believed that he couldn't turn all the remaining Worms of Time into Fate Siphon. That would be too monotonous, making it easy to be targeted. It also wouldn't be able to deal with different situations. Therefore, he had to consider other applications.
By using the Worms of Time as a medium and using patterns and labels that were different from The Fool's symbol to trigger powers, the corresponding effects would likely be different from Fate Siphon. And in this aspect, Pallez Zoroast was an expert.
After writing the letter, Klein took out the adventurer's harmonica and blew into it.
Reinette Tinekerr, who was holding the four blonde, red-eyed heads, walked out of the void. Her eight eyes paused for a moment before looking at the remaining seven Worms of Time on the coffee table.
Miss Messenger looked at them for a full three seconds before retracting her gaze. She bit down on the letter and gold coin that Klein had handed over.
"It's still 7 Pinster Street," Klein said succinctly.
Reinette Tinekerr's remaining three heads replied one after another:
"In the future …" "Such …" "Matters …"
"Also …" "You can …" "Look for me …"
"The reward …" "Is …" "The spoils of war …"
Klein was taken aback for a moment.
"Alright."
After Miss Messenger returned to the spirit world and vanished from the room, he frowned slightly and muttered silently to himself.
Since she can recognize a Worm of Time, she should know that such a battle might develop to the level of an angel …
She's not afraid at all …
"Miss Messenger is stronger than I imagined?"
...
7 Pinster Street. Leonard received Klein's letter from Reinette Tinekerr.
He still felt a little excited as he impatiently unfolded the letter and quickly read it.
After the messenger left, he immediately suppressed his voice.
"Old Man, there should be other ways to create charms, right?"
Just now, Pallez Zoroast had given him two Worms of Time from Amon as a reward for today's adventure.
In Leonard's mind, the slightly-aged voice replied with a smile, "Of course.
After I sleep for a period of time and digest what I obtained this time, I'll teach you. It won't take long. Also, don't go to Böklund Street for the time being. "
"Why?" Leonard asked in surprise.
Pallez Zoroast chuckled.
"Amon's avatars in Baekeland have all been destroyed. This isn't a trivial matter, and there's only a handful of suspects who can do such a thing. Do you think 'He' will have any guesses?"
This … Leonard tensed up again.
Pallez continued, "However, there's no need to worry too much.
"However, there's no need to worry too much. It's impossible for 'His' true body to enter Baekeland. And now that I've recovered quite a bit, I'm not that worried about 'His' avatars. In addition, I found a piece of information that Flora Jacob mentioned from the memories of a few of his avatars: Somewhere in Baekeland, there's a hidden treasure of the Jacob family.
"At the end of the year, we'll seek out the other descendants of the Jacob family to cooperate with us at that gathering. We'll open that treasure and split the items inside. When that happens, even if Amon gathers a large number of avatars and raises them to the level of a Sequence 1, he won't be able to truly defeat me. Heh heh, for the sake of balance, we can also let Dawn Dantès participate in this matter."
