Cattleya was the first time to hear about Amon's so detailed description, she recalled some of the information she had seen before, only had strange, very amazing and other descriptions.
This made her not only sigh: Hearing the information of the "Emperor", Amon's image immediately became specific, just like, just like the "Emperor" had seen Amon steal other people's fate.
Fors once again sighed: It's hard to imagine, it's hard to imagine, what kind of experience is it for a person to be stolen their fate, or for Amon to replace someone else's fate? I wonder if Amon would be embarrassed when facing other people's wives and children. Oh, right, the "Emperor" just said that Amon doesn't have too much emotional fluctuations like ordinary people, He may not even know what embarrassment is.
Audrey asked again: "Mr. Emperor, what should we do if we encounter Amon?"
"Little Sun" also stared at the "Emperor", which was also the question he wanted to ask, but just now, he had used up his chance to ask questions.
Or rather, "Justice" Audrey saw that "Sun" wanted to ask a similar question, so she asked this question, of course, she herself was also very curious about the answer to this question.
"Of course, pray to the Fool immediately!" Hobert said: "Besides that, I really can't think of any other way!"
Klein behind the gray fog: Don't talk nonsense! Why not pray to the "Creator"? What are you praying to me for? Let me watch the live broadcast of Amon taking the fate of the Tarot Club members?
But in order to maintain the image of "The Fool", when facing the gazes of "Justice" and others, he just remained silent, neither admitting nor opposing.
This made Audrey and other members recall the Fool's previous dealing with Amon's clone, and they all thought that should be the best way.
"Of course, it is also possible that you will 'forget' to pray, or Amon will pray for you instead." Hobert spread his hands and said: "Actually, encountering enemies at the level of 'King of Angels' is quite desperate, and there is almost no ability to resist below Sequence 2.
"The only thing we can do is to pray for the other party's mercy, or pray that our luck is good enough so that the other party won't discover our abnormality.
"After all, even a 'King of Angels' cannot use his abilities to deal with everyone he encounters.
"It's just that Amon is indeed a special case, perhaps the more you pray for His mercy, the more you pray that you are lucky enough, the more He will deal with you, after all, He is the 'God of Pranks'."
Hobert thought for a while and then said: "If you are unlucky enough to encounter Amon's main body, then prepare for the funeral.
"But if you only encounter His clone, you can try to ask for angel-level power to deal with it. Theoretically speaking, His avatars should range from Sequence 4 to Sequence 2.
"If you want to kill His Sequence 2 clone, you need at least two or more angels!
"Because the speed must be fast, otherwise it will definitely attract other avatars."
He paused and then said: "As far as I know, His high-level avatars are only at the Sequence 2 level, without the position of Sequence 2.
"Because when you reach Sequence 2, you will have more divinity, and His avatars may have the idea of breaking away from the main body.
"So this is an opportunity for us, an opportunity to deal with His avatars."
Klein immediately realized: The Amon clone encountered in City of Silver before should only be at the Sequence 3 or Sequence 4 level, most likely Sequence 4, otherwise the angel I materialized could not have easily killed that clone. This can also be regarded as good luck for "Little Sun" and me. It would be troublesome if we encountered a Sequence 2 level clone! Even Mr. Fool might fail.
Cattleya smiled wryly: "This reminds me of a fable: In ancient times, a person discovered that the sun was originally a big fireball, and then naively thought that he could put out the sun with water."
Audrey followed with a smile: "Yes, even if we know how to deal with Amon's avatars, first we have to become angels, and we also need an angel to help! They are not enemies of the same level at all, and it is not something we should care about."
While speaking, she glanced intentionally or unintentionally at the top seat, which was something Mr. Fool should care about.
"Little Sun" fell into deep thought: What if I encounter Amon's clone again? City of Silver has no angels, only god-level sealed items. Alas, I'm so stupid, I can ask Mr. Fool for help!
"I said before, according to the information I have, Amon's main body is in the 'Forsaken Land of the Gods'." Hobert said: "Except for 'Sun', the probability of the rest of us encountering His main body is extremely small."
Klein secretly breathed a sigh of relief: That's good, that's good.
Cattleya looked at "Sun" in surprise: He is from the "Forsaken Land of the Gods"? It's actually the legendary "Forsaken Land of the Gods"! The members of the Tarot Club are more than just mysterious, they are completely unexpected! There are devotees of the "Creator", people from the "Forsaken Land of the Gods", and people from the Storm Church, and Sanguine servants of the Earth Mother Church. Currently, only "Justice" and "Magician" are unclear about their details, but their backgrounds should not be simple either. Miss Justice's emotional self-control is very strong, and it is difficult to get too many useful clues. As for Miss Magician, it is precisely because she rarely speaks and expresses her opinions that it is easy to ignore her, and I have to pay more attention to her in the future!
Audrey asked again for "Little Sun": "Mr. Emperor, what is Amon doing in the 'Forsaken Land of the Gods'? Or rather, why does He have to be in the 'Forsaken Land of the Gods'?"
"Some people say that He is looking for something there," Hobert said vaguely: "I suggest not to guess His purpose, and don't care about His purpose, because that is likely to be His trap.
"Another reason is because He has successively supported the Solomon Empire and the Tudor Empire, and also supported the True Creator... Uh, this may not be the main reason, the main reason may be that the Seven Gods don't like Him very much.
"So as long as Amon's main body appears in the North and South Continent, it will trigger a divine descent, and then drive Him back to the 'Forsaken Land of the Gods'."
Audrey and Cattleya and Fors all felt a lot more at ease.
"Fool" Klein breathed a sigh of relief again, and silently said in his heart: Praise the Goddess!
Derrick sighed: "It's good to have the protection of gods."
Then Derrick asked: "Mr. Emperor, how does Amon contact His avatars? Uh, for this question, I can pay more remuneration."
Hobert thought for a while: "Pay another Beyonder ingredient, this answer does involve some other information."
"No problem!" Derrick believed that Amon's method of entering and exiting the "Forsaken Land of the Gods" would be an important reference.
"As far as I know, Amon built a mausoleum for himself near Backlund, and His avatars seem to be able to use some of the arrangements in that mausoleum to travel back and forth to the 'Forsaken Land of the Gods'."
Klein immediately thought of Amon's mausoleum that he learned about through Miss Sharron.
Later, the Arrodes Magic Mirror "reported" to him the exploration process, and at that time he guessed that Amon's mausoleum seemed to be connected to the "Abyss", in short, there were many secrets.
And at that time, Klein had a guess, could Amon be traveling back and forth to the "Forsaken Land of the Gods" through the "Abyss"?
Derrick secretly said it was a pity, because City of Silver obviously had no way to replicate this method.
Hobert added: "As far as I know, there is another way to enter the 'Forsaken Land of the Gods' through the projection of the 'Giant King's Court' in the dreamland deep in the eastern part of the Sonia Sea.
"But this method has considerable risks, and I don't know the specific method either."
Derrick repeatedly chewed on the phrase "Giant King's Court". Little boy Jack and the others also entered the "Forsaken Land of the Gods" from the "Giant King's Court", but Jack was ignorant and couldn't explain how he got in.
The "Emperor's" answer once again confirmed the key information they obtained, and the external exit must be hidden there.
"Little Sun" became more and more happy: "Mr. Emperor, thank you for your answer."
Hobert smiled: "Okay, the transaction about the 'King of Angels' ends here."
Audrey and the others fell into a brief state of aftertaste, and then Audrey came back to her senses and gave everyone psychological cues.
After releasing Alger's and Emlyn's sensory blockade, the free exchange session continued.
There was silence in the hall for a few seconds before Emlyn cleared his throat and said: "Thank you for the Emperor's help, I am already a Baron.
"I have a question, as a Sanguine, after being promoted to Baron, do I need to use the so-called acting method to promote digestion and better grasp the Beyonder characteristics, like you humans?"
While speaking, he raised his chin slightly and straightened his back.
Seeing that the "Emperor" didn't mean to answer, Cattleya answered: "Acting is necessary, because only Sequence 7 is called 'Vampire' on that pathway, and you are born that way, so you don't need to act, all the others do."
The reason why "Emperor" Hobert didn't mean to answer was actually because he was too lazy to answer. He estimated that Emlyn had already found the answer to this question. The focus of his words was "I am already a Baron."
Audrey blinked her beautiful eyes and asked with a curious tone: "Ms. Hermit, I remember Mr. Emperor said that Vampires are Sequence 7 of the 'Apothecary' pathway, I am very curious what Sequence 8 of this pathway is called?"
"Sanguine, it's Sanguine!" Emlyn corrected.
Cattleya and Audrey responded with a smile, and Audrey pursed her lips: Mr. Moon is already Sequence 6, why does it feel like he is not as mature as "Sun"?
The "Hermit" simply ignored the "Moon's" correction and began to answer "Justice's" question: "As long as you are familiar with the people of the Earth Mother Church, you can learn about the situation in this area.
"'Vampire' belongs to the 'Moon' pathway, the corresponding Sequence 9 is 'Apothecary', Sequence 8 is 'Beast Tamer'... Sequence 4 is 'Shaman King', and above that, I don't know."
"Cough" Emlyn coughed again: "Ms. Hermit, I must emphasize again, it's Sanguine, not Vampire."
Cattleya smiled: "Using 'Vampitr' is just for convenience of description."
At the same time, she carefully observed everyone's reaction: The "Emperor" was indeed calm, He already knew this. The "Hanged Man" seemed to only know a part of it. Well, probably from the Sequence 5 "Scarlet Scholar", he obviously began to pretend not to be interested. He didn't know the information above the "Scarlet Scholar", so it can be inferred that he is still in the middle and lower levels of the Storm Church. "Justice" and "Magician" listened with great interest. They are also at the bottom of their respective organizations, but they should have some support, so they are not worried and completely listen to it as a story. "Sun" is really not interested, doesn't the "Forsaken Land of the Gods" have this pathway?
The reason why Cattleya generously announced some sequence names of the "Apothecary" pathway is first to strengthen her favorability in everyone's minds, and second, this is another test of other members.
And the effect of this test made her very satisfied.
Audrey thought seriously, and raised her hand slightly like she was in a tutoring class: "Ms. Hermit, why is there no necessary connection between the various sequences of the 'Moon' pathway?"
According to her observation, there is a certain connection between the sequences of many pathways, such as the "Spectator" pathway, Sequence 8 is "Telepathist", Sequence 7 is "Psychiatrist", and above that, Sequence 6 is "Hypnotist".
She also knew that Xio's pathway Sequence 9 was "Arbiter" and Sequence 8 was "Sheriff".
However, the potion names of each sequence of the "Moon" pathway do not seem to be related.
Cattleya glanced at Miss Justice, noticing that her dresses and jewelry were completely different from the last time, with no repetition.
In a trance, she seemed to see the portrait of that queen when she was young, and the clothes on each one were different. A piece of clothing would never be worn a second time on formal occasions.
Cattleya was silent for a second or two before saying: "Different sequences within a pathway do not necessarily have to be related, or have a superficial connection. Their common feature is that they are all within the domain of the god corresponding to this pathway.
"For example, 'Moon' represents spirituality, plants, beauty, part of life and part of darkness, so this pathway has apothecaries in the field of plants, Vampire in the field of life, and beast tamers who cross life and spirituality!"
"Sanguine!" Emlyn emphasized, then raised his chin slightly: "This should be the reason for the handsomeness and beauty of our Sanguine."
Derrick retorted in his heart in a low voice: It's not like this, the Sanguine I've seen are all disgusting and hideous.
The one who felt the most was Klein, because the various sequences of the "Seer" pathway did not seem to have any obvious connection.
The exchange continued, and then Audrey said: "I recently went to a place with a custom of worshiping dragons."
That place was of course Earl Hall's territory. After attending Hobert's wedding, Audrey returned to Earl Hall's territory with her family. This is a tradition of the nobles of the Loen Kingdom.
Audrey began to mention the ancient poem about dragons, and clarified that she was inspired by it, and maintained a clear psychological activity in the dream through "psychological cues".
Through the messy dreams, she came to the edge of her own consciousness, and then, according to the "materialization method" learned from Mr. Fool, created a downward staircase, and gradually deepened into her subconscious field.
Of course, she did not describe the subconscious light spots she saw, because each light spot represented a secret that she was unwilling or ashamed to tell others.
For example, the subconscious thought of walking intimately with Hobert's arm in the territory. For example, the idea that the bride at the wedding she just attended was herself.
She focused on that feeling of loneliness, of endlessness, of being unable to find a goal, of being surrounded by a grayness that seemed to conceal all sorts of monsters, that extreme sense of oppression.
She mentioned that her emotions had been on the verge of collapse several times, and that she had barely managed to hold on with her own Beyonder abilities, finally arriving at the illusory ocean formed by the collective consciousness of living beings.
There were memory imprints from the early ancestors of humanity, and there were reflections and extensions of the various consciousnesses of the surrounding creatures. Then she mentioned the giant dragon with gray, rock-like scales that flew through the sea of collective consciousness.
Beside her, Fors suddenly had a book title pop into her head: Miss Justice's Dream Travelogue.
Then she sighed: To think there's a dragon living in the ocean of collective consciousness? Although Miss Justice didn't encounter any enemies or dangers, her experience still gives me a sense of illusion.
After recounting her experience, Audrey asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, what advice do you have? Do you think the 'Miracle of Sincerity,' Liveseyd, of the legendary dragons is also hidden in this sea of collective consciousness?
"If I want to continue exploring, what should I pay attention to? What preparations do I need to make in advance?"
"Hanged Man" Alger said in a deep voice, "I don't think you should continue exploring. This is a very dangerous act.
"According to records, most dragons are creatures of flesh and blood, including the Mind Dragon. The fact that it can exist in and roam the sea of collective consciousness of living beings indicates that the dragon you saw possesses a sufficiently high sequence, perhaps even reaching the level of a demigod.
"Before you reach Sequence 5, don't consider this issue."
Cattleya nodded and followed, "In the sea of collective subconsciousness, there are many dangerous things, the accumulated evil thoughts of humanity, various desires that erode the spirit body, terrifying memories from ancient times, etc. They are like storms and waves on the ocean, which can cause you serious psychological trauma, and even make you unable to wake up.
"Moreover, that is the sea of collective consciousness of all living beings, not just humans. Perhaps some evil spirits, some evil gods, some terrible presences are also lurking there. Do not rashly conduct in-depth exploration."
Audrey, who had been full of expectations, was disappointed, but had to admit that "Hanged Man" and "Hermit" were right.
At this moment, Mr. Fool suddenly said, "In dreams, you can chant my name!"
This was something Klein had inadvertently discovered. In dreams, chanting the name of "The Fool" allowed him to "receive" it above the gray fog and respond.
Audrey was first surprised, then delighted: "Thank you, Mr. Fool!"
Of course, she understood what Mr. Fool meant: "Hanged Man" and "Hermit" are right, but if you encounter danger in your dream, or if the Mind Dragon comes looking for you, chant the name of "The Fool."
Alger was also somewhat surprised, and he immediately thought: Mr. Fool's power has further recovered, and he can even project his power into dreams!
Cattleya was surprised: Mr. Fool actually possesses authority over dreams?
Hobert was sighing: Before I knew it, you showed off again! So being an evil god requires talent. I don't have that talent, and I still can't put on an act so casually.
Hobert did not offer any advice on this matter, because he noticed that "Hanged Man" Alger seemed to be subtly comparing his life experience and knowledge reserves with "Hermit" Cattleya, and Cattleya didn't seem to be showing any weakness.
It wouldn't be appropriate to show off his own knowledge reserves at this time.
As the discussion of Audrey's question ended, "The World" appropriately rented the "Psychological Spoon" from Hobert, and then Klein announced the end of this Tarot Gathering.
Above the gray fog, after disconnecting from the members, Klein first completed the process of the members' sacrifices and bestowals, and then used the "Sea God Scepter" to respond to the prayers and requests of the believers.
Returning to the real world, Klein rested for a while and came to the Smelting Leaf Bar with "Fair Judge" Eirlan, the captain of the "White Magnolia," who had an appointment in advance.
Today, Eirlan was going to introduce Klein to the local military contact in Bayam.
Eirlan walked ahead and found a man in a coffee-colored jacket in the corner of the bar: "Why aren't you drinking Lerouche?"
The man, who was in his thirties, glanced at Eirlan and Klein with somewhat cloudy eyes: "I've already had it. I'll have a glass of Zahar to sober up."
Zahar was a local specialty malt beer, cheap and with a low alcohol content.
Eirlan smiled and pointed to Klein: "Gehrman Sparrow."
Then, he introduced to Klein: "Us Kent, just call him Kent.
"You guys chat, I have to go back and prepare. I'm leaving port tomorrow morning."
He waved his hand and turned to leave without hesitation.
Klein pulled up a chair and sat down, not ordering any wine, just looking at Us Kent with a blank expression.
Kent felt extremely uncomfortable under his gaze, took a gulp of Zahar and said, "You can come to me directly if you have anything in the future, as long as you can provide valuable information or help us do something."
"Okay." Actually, Klein really wanted to ask if the costume expenses for impersonating Ilene to assassinate "Rear Admiral of Disease" could be reimbursed? Although that was Danitz's money.
But in order to maintain Gehrman Sparrow's persona, he just thought about it.
Kent smiled, seemingly drunk, "I've heard Eirlan mention some things about you, but I still have to remind you, don't be so crazy when doing things on the sea!
"Pirates won't talk to you about chivalry, and they won't abide by the laws and rules of the kingdom. If you settle down in a port city or island colony, they can definitely do things like attack your family."
Family... Klein was silent for a second or two, and said plainly, "I have no family."
Us Kent almost didn't know how to respond, so he changed the subject and said, "They will also attack your friends."
Then he heard Gehrman Sparrow say in a tone without any fluctuations, "I have no friends."
Kent coughed twice before recovering: "They will also ambush you!"
Klein said quite calmly, "I won't refuse anyone who gives me money, it's polite."
