Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 211 Dangerous Tomb Exploration (Two in One)

Alman stepped forward and snapped his fingers with his black-gloved hands, and a bright red flame ignited from his fingertips.

Then he brought the flame to the candle and one candle was successfully lit.

"It's very strange. Amon's tomb has a history of more than a thousand years. It's hard to imagine that there are still candles left, and these candles can still burn." Alman frowned. He felt that this tomb was more and more strange.

"Maybe we can meet a living member of the Amon family." Lewis used a smile to hide his inner nervousness. He held the "Traveler's Diary" in his hand and the "Fallen Harmonica" in his arms.

Contacting Amon is indeed his primary goal, but if he finds that things are impossible, he will choose to use the "Traveler's Diary" to escape as soon as possible.

For a person with no mental problems, escaping is to better accumulate strength.

"Living members of the Amon family? Mr. Lewis, do you mean there are undead creatures here?" Alman obviously misunderstood what Lewis meant, but he became more cautious because of it.

If there are undead creatures wandering around, it can indeed explain why the candles can still be used. Objects affected by supernatural powers will always have different characteristics.

Lewis spread his hands. Compared to Amon, the undead creatures were nothing to be afraid of. He was only afraid that a man wearing single-frame glasses would crawl out of the cemetery...

No, if it was just one, things wouldn't be bad enough. What was worse was that hundreds and thousands of men wearing single-frame glasses crawled out of the cemetery, densely packed together.

At the end of the corridor, you can see a huge, heavy, double-opening dark gray stone door with asymmetrical stone pillars standing outside the door. This is the architectural style of the Quaternary.

Alman's mood was a little complicated, and he said coldly:

"It is hard to imagine that this is a noble's tomb. Not only are there no slaves buried with the deceased, there are not even any traps to prevent tomb robbers."

He reached out his hand, touched the dark gray stone door in front of him, and asked Lewis: “What do you feel, Mr. Lewis?”

Lewis opened his eyes, and just now, several ways of being injured flashed before his eyes, which was exactly what he predicted for the future.

He was almost certain that behind this door was the tomb chamber, and all the danger came from here.

"All dangers come from the main tomb chamber. I am almost certain that all tomb robbers died in here." Lewis gently stroked the stone door and said, "Once this door is opened, we will immediately encounter many dangers, but these dangers can be dealt with as long as we are careful. The important thing is to be careful of the emblem of the Amon family, which is a gray-white disc."

Alman looked at Lewis in surprise, and couldn’t help but praise: “Mr. Lewis, you seem to know the Amon family very well.”

Finally, the five of them discussed and decided to push open this door first to leave enough space for retreat.
Yes, the original four people who went down to the tomb became five at this moment. More importantly, no one noticed anything unusual, let alone a man wearing a pointed round hat and monocular glasses mixed among them.

"Mr. Lewis, can I ask why you know so much about Amon?" The man in the pointed round hat was next to Lewis. He greeted Lewis while pushing the stone door.

Lewis smiled faintly. Of course, he couldn't say that he was a time traveler, so he said casually:
"I was very interested in the story of the Fourth Epoch, so I looked for some relevant information myself, many of which were about Amon."

"Sir, that's a very perfunctory reason," complained the man in the pointed round hat.

The moment the door was opened, a huge, shining axe immediately fell from the sky, but Lewis had already anticipated this scene. He gave a warning, and the five people almost took two steps back at the same time, avoiding the huge, shining axe.

Looking inside from this door, one can see several corpses scattered in the tomb. Their skin is full of wrinkles and their hair is completely white, as if they had died of old age.

In the middle of the tomb was placed a black coffin, which was placed on a high platform. There was a golden cross mark on the lid of the coffin.

Behind the coffin, a grayish-white disc was hanging there. The surface of the disc was divided into twelve grids with a black pointer, just like a clock.

The clock pattern is exactly the emblem of the Amon family, and it is also the most dangerous thing in Lewis's mouth.

Suddenly, the pointer on the emblem seemed to move backwards. At that moment, the candle on the candlestick burned rapidly and was completely burned out in just a few seconds.

"Mr. Alman, I think we can declare this mission a failure." Lewis explained with a gloomy face: "The emblem of the Amon family has been activated. The closer we get to the emblem, the faster our time will pass. Now we can only evacuate from here."

Lewis took a half step back, holding the "Traveler's Diary" in his hand, ready to retreat at any time.

If he didn't know enough about Amon, they would definitely try to break into the tomb, and by the time they actually realized that time had passed, it would be too late to escape.

The man in the pointed round hat followed Lewis' steps and retreated. He fixed his eyes on the diary, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and one hand quietly reached out to the diary.

Alman, who was standing at the front, took a deep breath and clenched his black-gloved hands.

The next moment, a set of pitch-black armor attached to his body.

He used all his strength to throw a punch, and the force of that punch directly broke through the giant axe blocking their way, and the coffin on the platform was directly blown into two halves.

Finally, the force of this punch hit the emblem, and the stone door to which the emblem was attached sank in and cracked inch by inch.

In an instant, the flow of time returned to normal, the man in the pointed hat withdrew his hand, and his expression returned to its previous state.

"I have dealt with the biggest crisis, let's continue the exploration!" After that punch, Alman's armor peeled off layer by layer, his lower body trembled, and he almost couldn't stand.

It was obvious that the punch just now consumed most of his strength.

"Leave the rest to me." Seeing that the danger was resolved, Lewis put away the "Traveler's Diary".

With the power of peeping into fate, Lewis broke several traps in succession and finally came to the broken coffin. He observed the broken coffin and found it was empty.

"The coffin is empty. Maybe the things inside were knocked out by the punch just now." Lewis frowned. Logically, there should be a time worm in the coffin. If there is no such spiritual material, how can the emblem exert its power?
Alman's face became more and more ugly. There was nothing to see here except a coffin and a few old corpses.

But the less you can see, the more dangerous it is.

Suddenly, Lewis heard a familiar yet gentle female voice.

"Are you looking for me?"

In an instant, Lewis's mind went blank. The voice belonged to Mandy.

The person next to him squeezed his single-frame glasses and gave him a gentle and charming smile.

"Amon!" At this moment, Lewis found that Amon was beside him, and he also found that there was one more person in the team.

In an instant, cold sweat dripped down, but this time, Lewis did not choose to run away.

"speed!"

As he shouted out the words in Hermetic, his body immediately felt lighter, and with a light leap he distanced himself from Amon's clone.

The next moment, he took out the fallen harmonica. As the sound of the harmonica rang out, Amon's body twisted in a strange arc, and the other party fell into desire and couldn't extricate himself.

"flame!"

Lewis shouted out words in Hermetic language again, and golden flames surrounded Amon, burning his body. In the flames, Amon screamed miserably, and his clothes were burned away, and he finally turned into a time worm.

“Successful, I destroyed Amon’s clone for the first time.

It’s a pity that I didn’t have a chance to talk to him, otherwise I would have been able to get more information.”

Lewis picked up the Time Worm, which would be a great spiritual material and could be made into an advanced talisman.

"You don't have to make such a fuss if you want to chat, my dear brother. You are always welcome in my dreams."

Just when Lewis let down his guard, a man's voice sounded in his ears again. He turned his head mechanically and saw another Amon attached to Alman.

At this moment, Amon was invading Alman's body. There was no doubt that Amon was trying to parasitize him.

Alman's face was pale. He watched Amon invade his body but had no way to stop it. Using the Level 1 seal consumed too much of his strength.

"Sure enough, Amon can't have only one clone!" Lewis quickly thought of a way to rescue Alman.

He carries a "life reappearance" spell in his hand. As long as he uses this spell, Alman can return to the moment before the spell was used, get rid of the parasite through death, and severely damage Amon's clone.

However, this spell can only be used by those below Sequence 6, and Alman is Sequence 5.

"It seems that I can only pray to the goddess. I will owe her another favor." Lewis asked the other two to prepare the ceremony, and he hurriedly began to pray.

When the last sentence of the prayer fell, a black mist sprinkled in the altar. The black mist fell on Amon, and Amon's body gradually became transparent.

"We will meet again." Amon smiled faintly and left a time worm without any nostalgia.

Lewis took the time worm away, after all, it was an extremely high-grade material.

Seeing that the crisis was over, Alman breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully:
"Thank you, Mr. Lewis. If it weren't for you, I might have died here."

He had a lot of questions to ask, for example, why did those two dangerous men know Lewis, and why did they call Lewis his brother?

You know, the Amon family lived more than a thousand years ago.

However, he knew that Lewis would definitely not answer, so he had to give up.

Several people searched the cemetery, but in the end they only found a few items with extraordinary properties. The gains were far less than the losses of this tomb exploration.

……

Near evening, by the Tussock River.

Alman and Lewis separated, one heading to the King's Quarter and the other to Slont Manor.

Thinking of what happened before, Alman always felt inexplicably uneasy.

Lewis showed great interest from the moment he proposed exploring the tombs of the Amon family.

Later in the cemetery, Lewis showed that he had an extremely deep understanding of the Amon family and even knew everything in the cemetery.

Finally, two men known as Ammon appear, one of whom calls Lewis his brother.

However, he was sure that Lewis and the Amon family were not of the same kind, and it seemed that they had some kind of hatred.

"Mr. Lewis is more complicated than I thought. Although he is only Sequence 6, his ability has long surpassed that of me who carries the Sealed Object. I am really enviable.

In addition, Mr. Lewis turned out to be a believer of the Goddess of Night..."

……

It was already evening when Lewis returned to Slont Manor. The biggest gain from this tomb exploration was the two time worms in his hands.

These two time worms can be used to make talismans, but who to pray to becomes a problem that Lewis is struggling with.

There are about four people he can communicate with and pray to now: himself, the Goddess of Night, the Lord of Mysteries, and the God of Steam and Machinery.

The power of the talisman obtained will naturally be different depending on the object of prayer, and the difference can even be said to be huge.

"Why not keep these two items for now and make a decision later."

Lewis threw the two time worms onto the gray fog, and he himself came onto the gray fog and sat on a golden nanmu chair.

With a slight wave of his hand, a rough piece of letter paper flew in front of him, and on the front of the letter paper was written the potion formula of "Winner".

Lewis materialized an intricately patterned silver fountain pen and a piece of tan parchment, on which he wrote the divination:

"The source of the potion formula."

Closing his eyes and passing through a burst of pure white, Lewis saw a cramped little room, a flickering gas lamp, and a bandaged arm. Looking up, he saw that the owner of the arm was Blau.

However, at this time, Blau was covered in wounds and no one knew what had happened.

Afterwards, Blau wrote the "winner's" potion formula on a piece of writing paper.

After the divination, Lewis woke up from his sleep and was able to confirm that the source of the potion formula was correct.

"The only problem now is to find someone who is lucky enough and remove the contamination from the Beyonder characteristics."

Lewis threw the potion formula into the box for sundries. He waved again, and a silver-white object appeared in his hand. This was the extraordinary characteristic of the winner.

Picking up the ball of Beyonder Characteristics, Lewis wrote down the divination sentence again:
“An opportunity to remove pollution.”

Through the pure white in front of him, Lewis saw an Intis man dressed in court clothing. His eyes were looking far away at the Church of the Eternal Sun, deep and strange.

Suddenly, the Intis man smiled faintly and touched his head, as if he was pressing down a non-existent half-high silk hat.

Lewis recognized the person in his dream with inspiration and felt a sense of fear in his heart.

"Isn't this my servant Paul? In order to be promoted to 'No Darkness', he is plotting against the 'Eternal Blazing Sun' Church. This is crazy!
However, since the divination tells me that the chance to remove the pollution lies with Paul, it means that Paul is likely to succeed in the promotion. "
