No. 67, Red Sycamore Street, Connacht City, Dixie County.
Kelien took a step forward and rang the doorbell with a face that was more common in the Zhang Luen Kingdom.
In less than a minute, the door creaked open, and a maid in a black and white dress looked at her for a few seconds and asked in confusion:
"Good evening, who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Mrs. Nelu. I'm a friend of her father David Raymond." Klein replied calmly.
David Raymond is the "Incubus" he released from "Creeping Hunger" and the "Red Glove" in "Nighthawks".
What he missed most in the end was his daughter Nilu Raymond. He felt very guilty for not being able to accompany her to grow up and for letting her almost lose her father when she lost her mother. Klein promised him at the time that if he had the chance, he would come to this place. The beautiful coastal city helped him see how his daughter was doing.
At the same time as the maid invited Klein to come in, in another neighborhood in Conant City, a young man with slightly curly black hair and a monocle was walking on the street.
As he walked, he was still talking, as if there was an invisible person talking to him.
"No way, Medici, you actually just found out about this? No way, right?" Amon drank the Rosell sparkling water with an expressionless face, "You actually just found out about her being a part of my father?" Do you know? This is the intelligence capability of the Red Angel?"
Across most of the Loen, Medici was happy:
"You kid actually knows? Then why don't you share your feelings after learning this information?"
Amon said without much thought: "Father's will is different from the body and will always exist in the path. I don't find it strange that she returns. Maybe..."
"The only thing that surprised me was that 'she' was Adam." At this point, Amon paused. "After I knew the answer, I started thinking, did my brother Adam in myth really exist? Amon Is the so-called 'brotherly relationship' in my memory my father playing a game of imitating human play house with me? But there is no point in thinking about these things, because as a mythical creature, I don't need to go through 'play house' in the first place. and education like ‘Brothers should help each other’ to gain knowledge and ideas.”
Medici listened with interest, then yawned.
"Stop talking about whether it's meaningful or not. Who taught you that? That outer god?"
Amon replied: "It's not her, it's me who is thinking. Human behavior always pursues meaning, because human life is limited and we must ensure that our time is not wasted on irrelevant things. Our time is unlimited , and I am born with a high degree of intelligence, so I will also think about whether I have done a lot of meaningless things since I have survived..."
"Why do you talk about this every time I talk to you? Are you planning to find a university to study philosophy?"
Medici yawned to the point of tears. She immediately spoke to stop Amon's thoughts caused by his development of self-awareness, and blocked these rumbling words:
"I have led troops and fought in wars for so many years, and I have seen too many brats like you!"
"They go to the battlefield reluctantly, either crying or missing home, or discussing the meaning of life and war. Generally, such hesitant brats will die on the first charge. If they don't die, they won't be free anymore. Think about these things.”
Amon said: "So, what is the answer they came up with?"
"There is nothing new under the sun."
Medici naturally quoted a saying from the holy scripture: "People are always thinking, and they will never learn lessons. People are always preparing for war and on the road to war. Human thoughts are as meaningless as human life. significance."
"On the battlefield, there is no time for you to think about so many messy things. All you need to do is to rush forward, retreat, and make the next cut. The purpose of all this is to stay alive! Oh, you also know that a hunter's sequence is called 'Conspirator', but in most cases, the battlefield does not give you many opportunities to plan strategies! Soldiers always live in the present, even me!"
"I don't need to live in the present." Amon Digu, "I don't need to go to the battlefield..."
"It is a tortoise that lives too long. It has lived a long life that has no other meaning than being long."
Medici sighed: "Forget it, telling you this is like singing to a cow. You are just a little bug. You really don't understand that the meaning of life is to burn. Where are you now? I don't want to find a free time. Come back and chat with the Lord and catch up on old times?"
Amon took a deep breath, walked along the street, and said:
"Dixi County of Loen Kingdom."
"Oh, a seaside city, easy to defend but hard to attack. What are you doing in the territory of the octopus head, eating seafood?"
“…Definitely want to try the seafood pizza and pie.”
Medici nodded: "Then I wish you a good time. It'll be okay if you don't come back, but remember to send some local specialties back."
Amon hung up his prayers, took out the travel guide of Connacht City from his pocket, and continued to walk to the seaside shop that "has the most delicious seafood pie in Loen". He planned to have dinner there and stay for one night. , we will continue walking south tomorrow and go to Dixi Bay.
The recent international situation is very tense. The Spiritual Religion Group in the Southern Continent actually occupied three cities in one go (it is said that except for Aldera, the other two cities were taken advantage of by natural disasters in the Southern Continent). It also publicly announced internationally that "the Balam Empire was restored" and "the Spiritual Church was renamed the Church of Death." From then on, these three cities separated from the status of Loen and Intis colonies.
This behavior caused an uproar, and countless people from the Northern Continent who had settled in the Southern Continent fled back. This led to the development of the maritime tourism industry between the two continents. Smuggling and black ships became popular, and also brought a lot of revenue to the pirates.
To put it simply, Amon planned to go to the Southern Continent for a while, because he hadn’t seen the culture related to the "God of Death" for a long time.
Anyway, he is now an unemployed wanderer. According to Amon's rules, he can walk around until he finds his next identity.
He looked at the travel guide and slowly walked along the sidewalk along the street. Suddenly, he suddenly had a spiritual movement and suddenly turned sideways.
Opposite him, an ordinary-looking passerby also made the same move. The two of them faced each other sideways at the same time, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment.
Amon was suddenly stunned.
The Loen people on the opposite side were also suddenly stunned.
Slightly curly black hair, monocle, wide forehead... Klein was startled, "Fuck, Amon!"
Gray mist? No, this is the breath of the spirit world, this is Source Castle! Spirit Thread, the newly promoted Sequence Five "Puppet Master"?
Amon was also surprised by the opponent's promotion speed. After half a year, he was promoted from 7 to 5. He is Klein Moretti!
Why does Amon appear here? Is it another extraordinary law of aggregation? I have to stay calm. Running away rashly may attract the other party's attention, but he seems to know me... Klein resisted the urge to use flame jump to escape, tried his best to act as if nothing had happened, and looked at Amon in a very normal way. He smiled and prepared to go around.
To his surprise, Amon also took a few steps back.
"Don't get too close to me." Amon said as if facing a formidable enemy, "The power of Origin Castle in you is too obvious, I can't help but steal it..."
Klein was greatly shocked. He suddenly reached for his pocket and saw that the iron cigarette box on his body was missing!
There is a gold coin in the cigarette box, and hidden in the gold coin is the "Grudge" Senior!
At this time, Amon took out the cigarette box from his pocket, and the two looked at each other, suddenly even more embarrassed.
"..." Amon looked at the iron box in his hand that had a strong aura from Origin Castle (so he couldn't help but steal it), then looked at Klein, who had a very complicated expression, and hesitated for a moment, "I am a thief. , stealing is my instinct, and I will not give back what I stole."
Klein hesitated to speak, and his mind suddenly went blank for a moment.
So my marionette was gone before I could warm it up? ! He stole Crane's idea.
Amon scratched his head. The current goal of the Aurora Society seemed to be to build a good relationship with Klein. In fact, he didn't want to have a bad relationship with the "Lord of the Mysteries of the Future" recognized by the True Creator. He thought for two seconds, and suddenly he had an idea and thought of a good idea: "Let's do this, you answer me a question, and I will return your cigarette box to you as a reward."
Are you still willing to give it back to me? Compared to the last Amon who wrapped his snakeskin around the "Sun" and tried to sneak into the country, the one in front of him was surprisingly reasonable... But why did the members of the Amon family all seem to look the same... Klein was a little confused and a little wary? He took two steps back and spoke with about five meters between them, which looked particularly strange.
Amon didn't want to say anything to Kleindor. The longer he stayed, the more worried he was that he wouldn't be able to help but attack Source Castle.
This "Secret Puppet Master" who walks around with the Source Castle is completely unaware of how tempting the gray mist and spirit world aura on his body are to adjacent pathways and high-ranking beings. Under the instinct of gathering, even if Even if you can’t use Source Castle, you can’t help but try it out.
So he picked a question at random:
"Where did you come from Ducie County?"
Klein said cautiously: "At sea."
"On the sea..." Amon asked casually, but couldn't help but think about it, "There is a very interesting person on the sea. The adventurer who became famous together with the Wanted Order, his name is Sparrow... This is the first time I have seen this surname. I didn’t expect that there really is someone with this surname..."
After saying this to himself, Amon threw the cigarette box and Klein caught it.
Hearing Amon's words, Klein felt his heartbeat suddenly stop for a beat. He caught the cigarette box and was about to turn around and leave.
But Amon suddenly thought of something, stretched out his hand to grab it, and stole the idea of leaving from Klein's mind.
"By the way, you are a person from the past. You should have seen those movies." Amon said, "So did you give the name Sparrow? Or are you Gehrman Sparrow?"
He spoke faster and asked curiously: "So what does the name Hermann mean? What work does it come from?"
Klein, who had been stolen from the idea of "leaving" five times in a row, was still standing there after half a minute. The gap in strength between them surprised him, but what Amon said made him even more confused. Well, I feel mixed emotions.
Does this Amon know about "movies"? He actually watched the movie? Have you watched the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series?
Does she still know about the "Old Era"?
Would a family member know so many complex things?
"A game?" Amon stole the corresponding idea from Klein's mind, "It's also single-player? It sounds very fun."
Klein realized something was wrong. At first, he learned that the second son of the Creator was named "Amon". He also learned from history that there was a mysterious "blasphemer" family. After the "Amon" family, He subconsciously equated "Amon" with other angel families, acquiescing that "Amon" who appeared in the land abandoned by God and possessed "the sun" was a member of the family.
But in the Fourth Age mausoleum that was destroyed by the "Machine Heart", the Amon on the "Portraits of Family Members" was exactly the same as the one he saw in the Land Abandoned by the Gods!
What's more, now he saw another Amon, an Amon with a different personality but exactly the same appearance!
Is there only "Amon" in the "Amon family"? Only the original "second son of the Creator"? It doesn't look like this, the person in front of me shouldn't be the "Angel of Time"... Or is the existence of the Amon family beyond my understanding, and is it a clone? Made from human body?
Klein suddenly felt his mind go blank again.
Amon pinched his right eye socket and said deeply: "It's all wrong, we are clones."
Doppelgänger? Klein's expression changed, and he realized that he couldn't even keep any privacy in front of Amon. In addition, he was also very shocked, because this Amon would actually answer his questions! Is the individual gap between Amon so big?
"..." Amon's expression was complicated.
The look in Klein's eyes had completely revealed his thoughts. Even if he didn't steal, Amon could guess what he was thinking.
After thinking for a few seconds, Amon still said:
"If you take the Source Castle, you have to bear the responsibility. I don't want to take the responsibility, and I don't want to die, so I don't want the Source Castle either."
"But someone told me that others may have a way to take Source Castle without taking responsibility. You have to be careful about your adjacent paths."
How could he still die? Klein was stunned for a moment and asked tentatively:
"What kind of responsibility?"
Amon frowned: "...become a god and protect the world?"
Become a god? Becoming a god sounds very attractive. Can you become a god if you get the Source Castle? Then I can understand what "Orange Light" Hilarion said to me. This is indeed a great temptation... As for protecting the world, I have no idea at the moment. And what’s the point of dying? What kind of protection is there to protect the world? Can we establish a church like a righteous god? The help from the True Creator is somewhat unreasonable. She is obviously an evil god... Klein felt that he had obtained one of the important pieces of the puzzle. He took two steps back with the cigarette box and said solemnly to Amon:
"Thanks."
Amon was startled: "You're welcome."
Klein didn't dare to stay, so he immediately turned around and left. He continuously used the power of the "Faceless Man" and disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye.
However, Amon could still clearly feel the high-level power from Origin Castle, but he did not chase after him. Instead, he silently watched the gray mist symbolizing the spiritual world getting farther and farther away, and he still recalled it with some disbelief. That "thank you" just now.
"It's really weird."
After a while, Amon shook his head and put these strange feelings behind him, and walked along the predetermined route towards "the best seafood pie in Loen".
…
That Amon is really weird... Does he mean that everyone in the "Amon family" is actually "Amon's clone"? Is it the clone of the "Second Son of the Creator" and the "Angel of Time"? But they seem to have different personalities. Could it be that Amon, the "Angel of Time", is actually a schizophrenic, split personality, or another version of the "Puppet Master" who allows his avatars to adapt to different positions and produce different personalities? and preferences?
Klein felt quite novel, but this incident did not slow him down in conceiving a new identity and returning to Backlund.
His new persona was completed very smoothly, and it is very different from his existing identity, which can effectively prevent people from being associated with him.
The next step is to set off and return.
…
Woo!
A few days later, with the sound of the whistle, the long steam train clanged into Backlund.
Carrying his suitcase, Klein once again set foot on the "City of All Capitals" and the "Land of Hope". He found that the fog was much thinner than before, and there was no longer an obvious bluish yellow color. The gas street lamps on the platform Then it was not lit up early to dispel the gloom and gloom.
After looking around, Klein left the steam train station, transferred to the subway and horse-drawn carriage, and went directly to the Church of the Storm Cemetery outside the West District.
Then, he spent a small amount of money to put the urn of the deceased "Punishing Knight" Longzel in "Grossell's Travels" into a cabinet.
At this time, it had been more than 165 years since the Loen soldier left Backlund.
Taking a step back and staring deeply for a while, Klein turned the paper into iron and engraved the other party's name on the cabinet door.
He closed his eyes and wrote again:
"Every journey has an end."

——————
Ronzel's full name is Ronzel Edward. (quite subtle)
The story of Grossell's Travels is always too difficult to participate in, so I didn't think of ways to force her into it.
So, the story of Dwayne Dantès officially begins.
