Secret: The years I served as a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

Chapter 247 Meeting at the corner
515
67 Red Sycamore Street, Conant, Dicey County.

Klein, with a face that was more common in the Kingdom of Zhangluen, took a step forward and rang the doorbell.

Less than a minute later, the door creaked open, and a maid in a black and white dress poked her head out to look around for a few seconds, then asked in confusion:

"Good evening, who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Mrs. Nilu. I'm a friend of her father, David Raymond." Klein replied calmly.

David Raymond was the Nightmare he freed from the Creeping Hunger, the Red Gloves in the Nightwatchers.

The last thing he missed the most was his daughter, Nello Raymond. He felt very guilty for not being able to accompany her to grow up, causing her to lose her mother and almost lose her father at the same time. Klein promised him at the time that if he had the chance, he would come to this beautiful coastal city to help him see how his daughter was doing.

Just as the maid invited Klein in, in another block of Conant City, a young man with slightly curly black hair and wearing a monocle was walking on the street.

As he walked, he kept muttering, as if an invisible person was talking to him.

"No way, Medici, you just found out about this? No way, no way?" Amon drank Roselle's sparkling water expressionlessly, "You just found out that 'He' is a part of my father? Is this the extent of the Red Angel's intelligence capabilities?"

Across most of Loen, Medici was amused:
"You actually knew that? Why don't you share with us how you felt when you learned this information?"

Amon said without much thought: "Father's will is different from his body. It exists forever in the path. I don't find it strange that he has returned. Perhaps..."

"The only thing that surprised me was that 'He' was Adam." Amon paused. "After I knew the answer, I began to think, did my brother Adam in the myth really exist? Was the so-called 'brotherly getting along' in Amon's memory my father playing a game with me imitating human house-playing? But there is no point in thinking about these things, because as a mythical creature, I don't need to acquire knowledge and concepts through 'playing house' and 'brothers should help each other' education."

Medici listened with interest at first, then yawned.

"Stop talking about whether it makes sense or not. Who taught you that? That Outer God?"

Amon replied: "It's not Him, it's me who's thinking. Human behavior and activities always seek meaning, because human life is limited, and we must ensure that our time is not wasted on insignificant things. Our time is unlimited, and we are born with a high degree of intellect, so I will also think about whether I have done a lot of meaningless things since I was alive until now..."

"Why do you talk about this every time I talk to you? Are you planning to study philosophy at a university?"

Medici yawned so hard that tears came out. He immediately stopped Amon from thinking about the development of his self-awareness and blocked his repetitive words:

"I've been leading troops in battle for so many years, and I've seen too many brats like you!"

"They are all reluctant to go to the battlefield. They either cry or miss home, or discuss the meaning of life and war. Usually, these hesitant kids will die after their first charge. If they don't die, they won't have time to think about these things anymore."

Amon said, "So, what is the answer they came up with?"

"There's nothing new under the sun."

Medici naturally quoted a saying from the Bible: "Man is always thinking, and will never learn a lesson. Man is always preparing for war and on the road to war. Man's thoughts are as meaningless as his life."

"On the battlefield, you don't have time to think about so many messy things. All you need to do is rush forward, retreat, and strike the next blow. The purpose of all this is to stay alive! Oh, you also know that one of the Hunter sequences is called 'Conspirator', but in most cases, the battlefield does not give you much opportunity to plan strategies! Warriors always live in the present, even me!"

"I don't need to live in the present." Amon muttered, "I don't need to go to the battlefield..."

"To live too long is tortoise, living a long life with no other meaning than length."

Medici sighed, "Forget it. Telling you this is like singing to a cow. You are just a little bug. You really can't understand that the meaning of life is to burn. Where are you now? Don't you plan to find some time to come back and chat with the Lord and reminisce about the past?"

Amon took a deep breath, walked along the street, and said:
"Disi County of the Kingdom of Loen."

"Oh, a coastal city, easy to defend but hard to attack. What are you doing in the octopus-headed territory, eating seafood?"

“…I do want to try the seafood pizza and pie.”

Medici nodded and said, "Have fun then. It's okay if you don't come back, but remember to send back some local specialties."

After praying, Amon took out a travel guide to Connacht from his pocket and continued walking towards the seaside shop that "has the most delicious seafood pies in Loen". He planned to have dinner there and stay overnight. He would continue walking south to visit Disi Bay tomorrow.

The international situation has been very tense recently. The Spiritual Cult in the southern continent actually occupied three cities in one go (it is said that except for Aldra, the other two were occupied by people who took advantage of the natural disasters in the southern continent) and publicly announced internationally that "the Balam Empire has been restored" and "the Spiritual Cult was renamed the Church of the God of Death". From then on, these three cities were no longer colonies of Loen and Intis.

This action caused an uproar, and countless people from the Northern Continent who had settled in the Southern Continent ran back, which led to the development of maritime tourism between the two continents. Smuggling and black ships became popular, and also brought a lot of income to the pirates.

Simply put, Amon plans to take a stroll in the southern continent because he hasn't seen any culture related to "Death" for a long time.

Anyway, I am an unemployed wandering monk now. According to Amon's rules, I can travel around before finding my next identity.

He was looking at a travel guide and walking slowly along the sidewalk. Suddenly, he had an idea and moved to the side.

Opposite him, an ordinary-looking passerby made the same move. Both of them turned sideways to each other, feeling a little awkward for a moment.

Amon was suddenly stunned.

The Loen people on the opposite side were also suddenly stunned.

Slightly curly black hair, a monocle, a broad forehead... Klein was shocked. Fuck, Amon! !

Gray mist? No, this is the breath of the spirit world, this is Sefirah Castle! The line of spirits, the newly promoted Sequence 5 "Master of Secret Puppetry"?
Amon was also shocked by the other party’s promotion speed. He was promoted from 7 to 5 in half a year. He was Klein Moretti!
How did Amon appear here? Is it the Extraordinary Law of Aggregation again? I have to stay calm. If I flee rashly, it might attract the other party's attention, but he seems to know me... Klein resisted the urge to use the fire jump to escape. He tried his best to act as if nothing had happened. He smiled awkwardly at Amon in a very normal way and prepared to bypass him.

To his surprise, Amon also took a few steps back.

“Don’t get too close to me.” Amon was as if facing a formidable enemy. “The power of Sefirah Castle is too obvious on you. I can’t help but steal it…”

Klein was shocked. He suddenly reached into his pocket, only to find that his iron cigarette box was gone!

There is a gold coin in the cigarette box, and in the gold coin is hidden the "ghost" Senior!
At this time, Amon took out a cigarette box from his pocket. The two looked at each other, and the situation became even more awkward.

"..." Amon looked at the iron box in his hand that was filled with the aura of Sefirah 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. I will not return what I have stolen."

Klein was about to say something but stopped himself. His mind suddenly went blank for a moment.

So my secret doll disappeared before it even got warm?! He stole Klein's idea.

Amon scratched his head. The Aurora Society's current policy seemed to be to maintain a good relationship with Klein. He didn't really want to have a bad relationship with the "Future Lord of Mysteries" identified by the True Creator. He thought for two seconds, and suddenly a light bulb went off in his head. He thought of a good idea: "How about this, answer me a question, and I'll give you your cigarette box as a reward."

Are you willing to give it back to me? Compared to the last Amon who directly wrapped his snake skin around the "sun" and tried to sneak across, the one in front of him was surprisingly reasonable... But why do all the members of the Amon family seem to look the same... Klein took two steps back with some confusion and caution. The two of them were talking with a distance of about five meters between them, which looked extremely strange.

Amon didn't want to say anything more to Klein. The longer he stayed, the more worried he was that he would not be able to resist attacking Sefirah Castle. This "Master of Secret Dolls" who was walking around with Sefirah Castle on his head had no idea how tempting the gray mist and spirit world aura on his body were to the adjacent paths and high-level beings. Under the instinct of gathering, even if he couldn't use Sefirah Castle, he would not be able to resist trying to grab it.

So he picked a random question:
"Where are you from in Deasy County?"

Klein said cautiously, "At sea."

"On the sea..." Amon asked casually, but couldn't help thinking, "There is a very interesting person on the sea, an adventurer who became famous along with the wanted order. His name is Sparrow... This is the first time I have seen this surname. I didn't expect there is really someone with this surname..."

After muttering these words to himself, Amon threw the cigarette box over and Klein caught it.

Hearing Amon's words, Klein felt his heartbeat suddenly stop. He took the cigarette box and immediately prepared to turn around and leave.

Amon suddenly thought of something, and reached out his hand, stealing the thought of leaving from Klein's mind.

"By the way, you are the one from the past. You should have seen those movies." Amon said, "So did you come up with the name Sparrow? Or are you German Sparrow?"

He spoke faster and asked curiously, "So what does the name Hermann mean? What work does it come from?"

Klein, whose idea of ​​"leaving" had been stolen five times in a row, stood there for a full half minute. The gap in strength between them surprised him, but what Amon said made Klein feel even more complicated.

This Amon knows about "movies"? Has he actually seen a movie? Has he seen the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series?
Does He also know about the "Old Era"?
Would a family member know so many complicated things?
"A game?" Amon stole the corresponding idea from Klein's mind. "Also a stand-alone game? It sounds fun."

Klein realized that something was wrong. At first, he learned that the second son of the Creator was named "Amon", and from history he learned that there was a mysterious "blasphemer" family. After the "Amon" family, he subconsciously equated "Amon" with other angel families, and tacitly accepted that the "Amon" who appeared in the God-forsaken Land and possessed the "Sun" was a member of the family.

But the Amon on the "family member portrait" hanging in the Fourth Epoch Mausoleum destroyed by the "Mechanical Heart" looked exactly like the one he saw in the God-Forsaken Land!
What's more, now he saw another Amon, an Amon with a different personality but exactly the same appearance!

Is the "Amon Family" just "Amon"? Just the original "Second Son of the Creator"? It doesn't seem like it either. The person in front of me shouldn't be the "Angel of Time"... Or is the Amon Family's existence way beyond my understanding? Are they clones? Human bodies made?

Klein suddenly felt his mind go blank again.

Amon pinched his right eye socket and said solemnly: "Neither is right. We are clones."

Clone? Klein's face changed. He realized that he couldn't even keep any privacy in front of Amon. Besides that, he was also very shocked, because this Amon actually answered his questions! Is the difference between the individual Ammons so big?
"..." Amon had a complicated expression.

Klein's eyes had completely exposed his thoughts. Even if he didn't steal, Amon could guess what he was thinking.

After thinking for a few seconds, Amon said:

"If I take the Sefirah Castle, I will have to take responsibility. I don't want to take that responsibility, and I don't want to die, so I don't want the Sefirah Castle either."

"But someone told me that other people may have a way to take Sefirah Castle without taking any responsibility. You have to be careful about your adjacent paths."

How could he die? Klein was stunned for a moment and asked tentatively:

"What kind of responsibility?"

Amon frowned: "...become a god and protect the world?"

Becoming a god? Becoming a god sounds very attractive. Can I become a god if I get Sefirah Castle? Then I can understand what "Orange Light" Hilarion said to me. This is indeed a great temptation... As for protecting the world, I don't have this idea at the moment. And what is the matter with dying? How can I protect the world? Can I become a righteous god and establish a church? Then the help of the real creator is a bit unreasonable. He is obviously an evil god... Klein felt that he had obtained an important piece of the puzzle. He took two steps back with the cigarette box and said solemnly to Amon:
"Thank you."

Amon was stunned: "You're welcome."

Klein didn't dare to stay and turned around and left immediately. He used the power of the "Faceless Man" continuously and disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye.

However, Amon could still clearly feel the high-level power coming from Sefirah Castle, but he did not chase after it. Instead, he silently watched the gray mist symbolizing the spirit world getting farther and farther away, and recalled the word "thank you" in disbelief.

"It's strange."

After a moment, Amon shook his head, put these strange feelings behind him, and walked along the predetermined route towards "the most delicious seafood pie in Loen."

……

That Amon is really strange... He means that everyone in the "Amon Family" is actually "Amon's clone"? That is, the clone of the "Second Son of the Creator" and the "Angel of Time"? But they seem to have different personalities. Is it possible that the "Angel of Time" Amon is actually schizophrenic or has split personality, or is he another role of the "Master of Secret Puppetry", allowing his clones to adapt to different positions and develop different personalities and preferences?

Klein found this quite novel, but it did not slow him down in coming up with a new identity and returning to Backlund.

His new personality was completed very smoothly. It is very different from his existing identity and can effectively prevent associations.

Next, it’s time to return.

……

Woo!
A few days later, with the sound of a whistle, a long steam train rumbled into Backlund.

Carrying his suitcase, Klein once again set foot on the land of this "City of All Capitals" and "Land of Hope". He found that the fog was much thinner than before and no longer had a distinct yellowish color. The gas street lamps on the platform were not lit early to dispel the gloom and darkness.

After looking around, Klein left the steam train station, took the subway and a horse-drawn carriage, and came directly to a Storm Church cemetery outside the West District.

Then, he spent a small amount of money and placed the urn of Longzel, the deceased "Punishment Knight" in "Groselle's Travels" into a cabinet.

At this time, more than 165 years had passed since the day this Loen soldier left Backlund.

He took a step back and stared deeply for a while. Then, he shook the paper into iron and engraved the other person's name on the cabinet door.

He closed his eyes and wrote again:
“Every journey has an end.”

TBC

Longzier's full name is Longzier Edward. (Quite subtle)

I always have trouble fitting into the story of Groselle's Travels, so I won't try to force it in.

So, the story of Dwayne Dantes officially begins.

I heard that comments will not be allowed until the end of the month or even the beginning of next month. I am dying. I really want to take a leave until next month. (Just kidding)

I have read everyone’s comments on the previous chapter. Whether it’s he or she, I will make the logic reasonable and the characters three-dimensional, so don’t worry about me being affected (I’m just simply curious about everyone’s thoughts), and I will continue to work hard.
