As expected … Leonard, who had verified his thoughts, did not dwell on this matter anymore. He returned to the topic at hand.
"Old man, didn't you just ask me whose dream I went to?
"Yes, during the process of taking revenge on Ince Zangwill, Amon's brother, a certain King of Angels, appeared."
In his mind, the slightly aged voice did not immediately respond. After a few seconds, it sighed.
Just as I expected, matters related to 0-08 will definitely attract Adam at some point in time.
"Fortunately, I chose to sleep in advance."
Leonard didn't have time to ponder over Pallez Zoroast's words as he instinctively exclaimed.
"Old man, you, you said his name!"
Adam's gaze was about to be cast over, and it had already been cast over!
The slightly aged voice let out a "heh".
"You actually know about Adam's uniqueness … However, it doesn't matter if I mention it. 'He' will only think that others are talking about 'Him.' Of course, you don't have to know too much about it. That way, you will definitely think about it occasionally. Once the number of times or the distance is close, Adam will know about it, just like 0-08. Besides, 0-08's range of influence is only a large city, while Adam is the entire World."
As terrifying as Amon … A different kind of terror … Leonard composed himself and forced himself not to think about Adam. He recalled Pallez Zoroast's words.
Suddenly, he blurted out, almost unable to suppress his voice.
"Old man, you didn't sleep because you were weak, but because you were worried about running into Amon's brothers?"
"Cough." Pallez cleared his throat and said, "There are two reasons, so there's no contradiction. After giving you two Worms of Time, my condition deteriorated again. Under such circumstances, how am I to face a King of Angels and conceal my existence? I'm already so old, and my arms and legs are old. If there's no need, I definitely have to hide a little. "
For a moment, Leonard couldn't find the words to refute.
"Amon and his brothers should be older than you. The ancient God of the Sun was an ancient god before the Cataclysm …"
Without waiting for Pallez Zoroast's response, he heaved a sigh of relief.
"In other words, because of your self-isolation and slumber, that King of Angels didn't notice anything wrong with me?"
Pallez chuckled.
"No, I found it."
"…" Leonard's expression froze, and he almost looked around.
He suspected that Adam was sitting in some corner of the room, quietly listening to his conversation with the old man!
At this moment, Pallez Zoroast added,
"Back then, you must've been very close to 'Him.' Do you think your thoughts can be hidden from a King of Angels who accommodates the Spectator pathway's Uniqueness?
"Also, you probably called him 'old man' 'old man' impolitely at the critical moment."
Leonard was stunned for a moment before he subconsciously replied,
"… You, you heard me?"
He suspected that the old man had clearly heard it, but he had not replied on purpose, afraid that Adam would find out.
"No." Pallez's slightly-aged voice was filled with banter. "I don't need to hear to know what you would do. Do you think I don't know what kind of person you are?"
Amidst Leonard's slight embarrassment, Pallez Zoroast continued, "Adam definitely knows that you have been Parasitized.
But due to my slumber and self-isolation, 'He' has no way of discovering who's Parasitizing you. There aren't many demigods with such powers, but neither are there too few. "
Is that so … Leonard heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. What he was most worried about was that Adam had "seen" Old Man and would return to inform Blasphemer Amon.
With this in mind, Leonard raised a question that had accumulated in his mind:
"Old Man, what's a King of Angels?"
Pallez Zoroast didn't ask Leonard where he learned of this concept and simply explained, "That's right.
He simply explained, "Those that exceed Sequence 1 and have yet to become a god.
"If you specifically mention the eight Kings of Angels, it's referring to the definition just now. They are those who served the ancient Sun God before the Cataclysm."
What does it mean to exceed Sequence 1 and have yet to become a god? How did he do it? To accommodate the so-called Uniqueness? Leonard had the intention to ask further, but he suspected that Old Man wouldn't explain in detail. Hence, he decided to talk about something else first before finding an opportunity to circle back.
He deliberated for a moment and suppressed his voice.
"In the battle to seek revenge on Ince Zangwill, I encountered great difficulties. I couldn't even look straight at my enemy, much less use the Fate Siphon charm … With no results from seeking your help, I chose to recite Mr. Fool's honorific name and received feedback.
"After the matter was over, I felt like I was in a dream. I headed for an ancient palace, above the endless gray fog …"
Before Leonard could finish, Pallez, who was silently listening, interrupted him.
"You met The Fool?"
"Yes, 'His' aura was deeper than the sea and more lofty than a mountain. 'His' figure was shrouded in gray fog, preventing me from seeing him clearly." Leonard recalled the past and described it in a poetic manner. "'He' established an organization that holds a meeting in front of the gods every Monday afternoon. It's a real meeting in front of the gods, and I'm now a member of it."
Pallez fell silent once again. He didn't speak for a long time before saying,
After a long while, he said, "Is this what The Fool told you to tell me?"
"Yes." Sitting there, Leonard nodded and said to the air with a suppressed voice, "Old Man, do you know 'Him'?"
Pallez Zoroast sighed and said, "No, but I can roughly guess' His' origins.
"I don't know him, but I can roughly guess his origin. You don't have to ask what it is, I won't tell you.
"Heh heh, this might be your chance. Otherwise, it'll be very difficult for you to become a demigod."
Leonard opened his mouth before closing it again. He didn't mention the Tarot Gathering again because Mr. Fool didn't say that the other details were to be divulged.
He thought for a moment.
"Old Man, is there another King of Angels named Medici, known as War Angel?"
Pallez tersely acknowledged, "Yes."
"You can also call 'Him' Red Angel. However, 'He' has long perished. You've even approached the place where 'He' died."
"Where?" Leonard was surprised. He had no impression of it.
Pallez scoffed.
"Are all your Evernight pathway's memories that bad? I don't remember your goddess being like that.
"Do you remember the underground ruin discovered in Baekeland?"
"Tudor-Telun Sostel United Empire? The place where Alista Tudor became Blood Emperor? "Leonard asked in enlightenment.
Pallez Zoroast's slightly-aged voice resounded once again.
"Yes."
As Leonard tried to figure out the logic behind it, he informed Old Man about the evil spirit.
"The psyche left behind by Medici merged with the remnant souls of the two Archangels, Sauron and Einhorn, forming a brand new evil spirit?" Pallez repeated Leonard's words in disbelief. Following that, he couldn't hide his smile as he said, "The three of 'Them' are absolute archenemies, the kind where 'I' can't exist without 'You.' After their deaths, they actually fused as one. This is really, haha, it'll definitely be lively."
Leonard didn't quite understand what Old Man was laughing about as he subconsciously asked,
"'They' are archenemies?"
Pallez restrained his smile and said, "Yes.
The reason why Medici failed and was captured was because 'He' was dealing with the ancestor of the Sauron family who had fallen into 'His' trap.
"It's not that 'He' wasn't prepared, but it was mainly focused on the Primordial Demoness. Who knew that Alista Tudor would suddenly go crazy. Heh, in this matter, Amon and Adam played a rather important role."
That evil spirit and Adam are enemies … Why did Blood Emperor capture Medici and the two Archangels, Sauron and Einhorn? The place where "They" perished was the palace where Alista Tudor became Blood Emperor … "They" are materials for the ritual to become a true god? Yes, according to Mr. Fool, after Adam obtained 0-08, "He" is closer to becoming a deity … Is this also considered as gathering materials? Could this be the reason why Amon dealt with Old Man? Leonard had some guesses and wanted to ask, but he ultimately didn't say a word.
He was afraid that touching on something too secretive would cause Old Man to have a bad reaction.
He planned on finding an opportunity to ask about this on the Tarot later.
After a brief silence, Leonard looked at the closed door and suppressed his voice.
Does Mr. Fool and the Church have a certain level of tacit understanding to a certain extent?
"The fact that no one has come to investigate you means so," Pallez Zoroast answered rather directly.
Leonard nodded indiscernibly.
"What will they do to me next?"
"How? They'll record your contributions, and once you're done digesting the potion, they'll advance you to Sequence 5. Then, they'll assign you a Red Gloves team to complete missions, or they'll transfer you to a large diocese like Baekeland to be a deacon in charge of a particular aspect, "Pallez said without much thought.
Return to Baekeland … Klein seems to be plotting something in Baekeland … Leonard's thoughts suddenly wandered.
He didn't speak to Old Man again as he leaned against the wall, placed his hands behind his head, and sat very casually.
…
Late at night, in a city bordering East Balam and West Balam, outside a row of warehouses.
Dawn Dantès, who had white sideburns and was dressed in a formal suit, held a gold-inlaid cane. He exchanged a secret signal with the officer on duty and gave the password. Then, he saw the officer open the door to a warehouse and heard him say in a relaxed tone, "It's all inside.
"Everything inside is yours. You can inspect the goods and move them yourself.
"Also, give me the final payment before you leave."
Dawn Dantès nodded slightly and weighed the suitcase in his hand. It contained a total of 5,000 pounds in cash, all of which came from Maysanchez's advance payment.
At this time, in a three-story building two warehouses away, two figures were quietly watching all of this.
