Hanged Man Alger and The Fool Klein finished their private conversation, and then he began to materialize the three newly acquired Roselle diary pages.
Soon, those three yellowish-brown parchment sheets came into Klein's hands.
Leyton's gaze swept over the three pages without a trace.
I can't see it, but I really want to know what golden phrases are on this Roselle diary!
Everyone waited in silence for Mr. Fool at the head of the table to finish reading today's Roselle diary.
After a while, a light tapping sound, "Thump! Thump!" echoed from the table.
Klein, sitting at the head of the bronze long table, his gaze swept across Leyton.
Why didn't I notice before that every time the Roselle diary appears, Alger's Spirit Body is filled with complex emotions like curiosity, contemplation, and torment!
Klein subtly withdrew his gaze and chuckled softly:
"You may begin."
The Sun Derrick originally intended to ask about the True Creator and the semi-transparent worm he coughed up, but Hanged Man Alger spoke faster than him, asking in a seemingly unconcerned tone:
"Have you had any further communication with that Former Exploration Team Captain? Did he show any abnormalities?"
The Sun Derrick temporarily suppressed the urgency in his heart and honestly answered Mr. Hanged Man's question: "He died."
"He died?" Miss Justice, Mr. Hanged Man, and Miss Magician all expressed their surprise simultaneously.
"Did you report to your Chief that he was an Amon avatar?"
Magician Fors asked with great curiosity.
The Sun Derrick slowly shook his head. Although he didn't really want to recall what happened that day, in order to get advice from everyone, he tried his best to keep his voice calm as he narrated:
"No, after that gathering ended, I was very afraid of what that Amon might do and didn't dare to contact him at all. Then it suddenly crossed the wall and the seal of that Mystical Item, appearing beside me."
"He also asked me: 'Where did you go just now?'"
Hearing this, Magician Fors, as a famous author, had already immersed herself in the scene, feeling both fear and excitement, just like listening to ghost stories when she was a child. Even though she was so scared that she covered her ears, she still couldn't help but spread her fingers slightly, allowing the sound to reach her mind.
Justice Audrey took a small breath. Just imagining the scene Mr. Sun described in her mind made her spine tingle.
"Did the seal of that Mystical Item in your City of Silver fail?"
Hanged Man Alger subconsciously questioned.
The Sun Derrick shook his head blankly and said:
"I don't know either. It shouldn't have failed, but he wasn't affected for some reason."
"When he appeared in my room, he was already completely out of control. His head split open in the middle, constantly oozing liquid, and many cracks appeared on his body, like mouths!"
"Then how did you survive? Or rather, how did you escape from it?"
Magician Fors felt very much like she was there, so she asked curiously.
Justice Audrey tilted her head slightly, adopting a listening posture; this was also a question she was very concerned about.
The Sun Derrick replied with a hint of relief in his voice:
"It was His Excellency the Chief. He appeared in time and used that Mystical Item to deal with the out-of-control Amon avatar."
Fors and Audrey both had an "of course" expression, nodding slightly. This was the most reasonable explanation.
Hanged Man Alger frowned slightly and asked slowly:
"You said that Former Exploration Team Captain lost control shortly after you returned?"
"He hadn't lost control for decades, but suddenly lost control after you returned? And, when that Mystical Item didn't react, your Chief appeared in time and dealt with that out-of-control person?"
While asking, Hanged Man Alger looked up at Mr. Fool at the head of the table. Seeing that He was still calm and leisurely, he finally relaxed.
"Heh! Why would you think Amon's avatar would lose control on its own?"
Leyton leaned back in the high-backed chair and spoke lazily.
After everyone looked at him with either confusion or realization, he slowly continued:
"The loss of control of that Former Exploration Team Captain was most likely just a drama directed and performed by Amon himself."
"His true goal should be to silently parasitize you!"
"At the same time, it was also to force your Chief to make other countermeasures, for example, changing your detention to having someone monitor you in secret. By observing your reaction after being parasitized, it might be possible to obtain more information."
The Sun Derrick's mouth slowly opened. He just felt how amazing Mr. Tower was. Based on just a little of his narration, he had almost restored the entire incident and also pointed out details he had not noticed before.
Derrick replied with great admiration in his tone:
"Yes, Amon did parasitize me in the end, and the Chief also released me from the Round Tower Bottom.
"But why would Amon perform that drama himself? Wouldn't doing so weaken his own power?"
Upon hearing Derrick say that he was indeed parasitized by Amon, Alger, Fors, and Audrey all tensed up in an instant.
Alger, with his extremely rich combat experience, almost assumed a combat stance to prevent any accidents.
He saw the calm reactions of Tower and World, then looked back at Mr. Fool at the head of the bronze long table, and only then did he relax.
Rubbing the stubble on his chin, he pondered and began to answer The Sun's question:
"It's very simple. Amon's avatar only needs to appear as if he has been eliminated, then others will lower their guard, and he can begin his next actions."
"Losing just one avatar is not a loss at all for an existence at Amon's level."
The Sun Derrick nodded repeatedly as he listened. He felt that Mr. Hanged Man's analysis made a lot of sense.
Hanged Man Alger looked at The Sun's appearance and shook his head slightly, somewhat helplessly, saying:
"This is a game between three parties: Mr. Fool, your Chief, and Amon."
"And you are the most crucial chess piece!"
The Sun Derrick nodded as if he understood, and continued to talk about his encounter:
"After I left the Round Tower Bottom, I prayed to Mr. Fool. Amon's parasitism was also discovered by Mr. Fool at that time."
As he spoke, he also materialized the image Mr. Fool had transmitted to him at the time:
Amon wearing a black pointed soft hat and a crystal monocle.
"What happened then?" Hanged Man quickly pressed.
"Then Mr. Fool taught me a ritual. Through that ritual, Mr. Fool dispatched His angel to Purify Amon's avatar."
The Sun Derrick answered honestly.
"Angel?" Hanged Man Alger looked in astonishment at the figure shrouded in gray fog at the head of the bronze long table.
He immediately realized that his movement was too abrupt and rude, not respectful enough, so he quickly lowered his head again.
"Angel?" Justice Audrey was momentarily bewildered, then quickly understood what Mr. Sun was saying:
Mr. Fool dispatched His angel to Purify Amon's avatar!
An angel!
Mr. Fool actually dispatched an angel!
Mr. Fool indeed has an angel as a servant!
Although this was a matter of course, it was still exciting!
Only a deity can command an angel!
Audrey couldn't help but imagine what Mr. Fool's seated angel looked like... I wonder when I will be fortunate enough to meet one.
Magician Fors recalled her previous encounter. At that time, she had only asked Mr. Fool for help in interfering with a divination, but instead, she saw an angel with twelve pairs of wings descend and shroud her Spirit Body with its wings.
It really was an angel... Dark wings, a total of twelve pairs. This is an Archangel!
Fors suddenly didn't dare to look up at the leisurely figure sitting at the head of the bronze long table.
After a brief moment of fear, Hanged Man Alger felt an inexplicable excitement welling up in his heart. In this short time, he thought of many things and suddenly felt that the future was full of light.
Only then did he have the presence of mind to ponder the details in The Sun's words:
The way Mr. Fool Purified Amon's avatar took a very roundabout path... Is it that He needs to overcome many obstacles to influence the real world? Or is there something special about the Forsaken Land of the Gods?
The Sun Derrick couldn't quite understand the reactions of Mr. Hanged Man, Miss Justice, and Miss Magician. In his opinion, it was perfectly normal for a great existence to have angels serving him.
He waited for a moment, and only after everyone had composed themselves did he speak again:
"After Amon's avatar was Purified, I coughed up a small worm, exactly like the one that fell when Amon's avatar was dealt with in the dungeon before. Do you know what it is?"
As he spoke, Derrick, with the help of The Fool Klein, also materialized the appearance of that semi-transparent worm.
Justice Audrey and Magician Fors looked over curiously, and then both shook their heads. In their knowledge of mysticism, they had never seen or heard of anything related.
After a brief silence, Leyton spoke up:
"This is a Worm of Time."
Without waiting for The Sun and the others to ask questions, Leyton then explained some relevant information:
"This is the vessel Amon uses to create avatars. Worm of Time is also the name for the Marauder Pathway's Sequence 1."
"Worm of Time... Amon's avatar's vessel..."
The Sun Derrick murmured softly to himself, seemingly having many of his doubts resolved.
Then he looked at Leyton, who was sitting next to him, and asked curiously:
"What can it be used for? I mean, a dead one."
"It can be used to make some advanced talismans or disposable Mystical Items, but you can only pray to Mr. Fool for them."
"Of course, Amon can too, if you want to say goodbye to this world!"
Leyton explained the uses of the Worm of Time to The Sun, and at the end, he even made a small joke.
The Sun Derrick nodded solemnly in response:
"Uh... I understand, thank you, Mr. Tower."
