In his spiritual state, when he touched the stone door, he did not pass through it, as if this door existed not only in reality, but also in the spiritual world.

"Open the door."

Edward thought about it, used his apprentice's [Open Door], and tried to pass through again, but unfortunately it still didn't work.

"As expected of the Abraham family, this move is aimed at 'our own family'."

So how do I get in?

With his palms pressed against the stone door, he closed his eyes and chanted, "How to open this stone door."

The next second, he entered a hazy dream. After a long period of darkness, a slender hand holding a small key inserted it into the star in the middle of the emblem. Then it was gently twisted. After a creaking sound of gears turning, the black stone door suddenly opened to both sides, revealing the main tomb chamber inside.

"key?"

Edward opened his eyes, and after a brief moment of daze, he found a bronze key in his hand - it was the key he had obtained from Emlyn at the beginning of his journey through time, and the key that later brought him and Christine together.

The reason why Christine found Edward at that time was for the key that was said to be able to open the treasure of Abraham's family. However, as she went out to sea to find the "Laurel", the matter was left unresolved.

Until they met again, she inexplicably turned into the "Fallen Mother Goddess". He thought that the treasure that Christine talked about before her "awakening" was nonsense. But two hundred years ago, he really encountered such a "treasure" of the Abraham family.

"Could it be this key?"

Edward frowned and inserted the bronze key into the middle star, just as he had imagined in his dream.

With a rustling sound, the bronze key was completely inserted into the keyhole.

He twisted his fingers gently and heard a "click".

The key is stuck.

In other words, the key is wrong.

Inexplicably, Edward felt relieved.

If it was really opened, this coincidence spanning 200 years would really make Edward shudder - even a Russian priest couldn't make such an arrangement.

Edward took back the key and threw it into the pocket of the space he had just opened up two days ago. He looked at the stone door in front of him and fell into thought again.

Suddenly, he looked back at the corridor he had walked through, and he vaguely understood something. He stretched out his hand towards the black stone door and grabbed it: steal. \咸~鱼-墈?书/¨已_發!布·最.薪/蟋翠洁/

In an instant, the black stone door disappeared, leaving only an empty entrance in its original place, revealing an extremely spacious tomb chamber inside.

There is a high platform in the center of the tomb chamber, on which is placed a dark black coffin.

On the walls, there were iron lamp stands holding white candles that were still burning quietly. None of the candle flames flickered, and it was so quiet that it seemed like a frozen picture, without any trace of having been washed away by a thousand or two thousand years.

In the straight line from the stone gate to the coffin, there were shriveled corpses lying there. Their clothes were of different styles, obviously from different periods. Some of the corpses were wearing coats of the current style, and it was obvious that they were people who had entered here in recent years.

The most important thing is that all the corpses have sparse white hair, dry and wrinkled skin, and obvious spots, like old people in their 80s or 90s. There are no obvious wounds on their bodies, it seems that they died of old age, and they have just died and have not had time to rot.

"!!!"

Upon seeing this scene, Edward's heart finally died. After going through so much trouble, it turned out to be a trap set by Amon - it was just disguised as the remains of Abraham's family.

Just imagine, if someone from Abraham's family finally got in here, thinking they could find some treasure, but ended up stepping into Amon's trap - that's really too bad!

Shit, I knew that Intis had no good intentions! He gave me the map of Amon's ruins just to kill me!

Just wait for me.

I'll remember this grudge!

With this in mind, Edward hesitated whether he should leave immediately. After all, according to the divination results at Sefirah Castle, coming here would be beneficial to him rather than harmful.

An idea came to his mind: since this was the pit that Amon dug for Abraham's family or people passing by, he must have left something valuable here to lure people in, right?

Otherwise, who would jump into an empty tomb?

Thinking of this, he waved his hand and transformed several rabbits that ran in.

They looked around, sniffed this and that, and ran to the black coffin, but nothing unusual happened.

"Pah."

Edward snapped his fingers, and several rabbits quickly expanded and transformed into vines that wrapped around the coffin, and then slowly lifted the coffin lid.

With the sound of friction, a crack appeared in the heavy coffin lid, and the crack became bigger and bigger, until the coffin lid fell to the ground with a loud bang, and the black coffin fell over with it.

The inside of the coffin was empty, except for a layer of light golden cushion at the bottom, on which was embroidered a worm with twelve rings on its body.

In addition, there is a crystal the size of a baby's fist, crystal clear like a bug's nest, and a crystal ball made of insects.

Edward recognized at a glance that the former was a high-sequence extraordinary characteristic of the thief's pathway, while the latter was an extraordinary characteristic of the gate pathway.

There really is some good stuff!

As soon as this thought came to mind, a great fear suddenly descended, causing Edward's spirit to go wild. He knew with his knees that Amon had sensed the situation here and was about to come.

After a brief hesitation, Edward grabbed the two Beyonder Characteristics with his invisible hands, ended the summons to himself, and disappeared from the underground ruins.

As he left, the floating lanterns quickly turned back into stones and fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

A few seconds later, a man wearing a wizard's robe, a black pointed hat, with a broad forehead and a thin face appeared in front of the overturned coffin.

"He actually escaped?"

Amon touched the monocle on his eye, and saw a faint light flashing on the crystal lens. The corner of His mouth raised to reveal a smile: "Oh, what is this called... double happiness?"

"interesting."

...

Inside the source castle.

Edward took the two Beyonder Characteristics and sat on the bronze chair. He felt a surge of excitement in his heart. Fortunately, he had used his own method to respond to himself in advance, otherwise he would have been in trouble.

Wait, I didn't need to be so scared just now. Anyway, I have the Madman on the Right. If Amon really followed me to Sefirah Castle, He should be the one who is scared.

Oops! Missed a chance to kill Amon's clone!

Edward slapped his thigh, hesitating whether to do it again, but when he thought of Amon's actions, he temporarily gave up the idea of ​​seeking death - next time, next time for sure!

After a while, Edward finally calmed down and looked at the two Beyonder Characteristics he brought back before escaping. After some divination:

"What a pity. One is a Mystic and the other is a Parasite. Both are just Sequence 4 Beyonder traits. Although these two things are worth a lot of money, they don't mean much to me right now. I can only keep them in my bottom drawer."

"Huh?"

At this moment, Edward's eyes fixed, looking straight at the extraordinary characteristics of the parasite. He saw that in the insect nest-like crystal, there seemed to be a translucent insect formed by a ball of light. It was bent into a semicircle, surrounding a wonderful light with twelve transparent rings on it.

The Worm of Time?!

Oh shit!

Amon finally caught up?!

Edward immediately threw the gold coin and was about to use [Madman on the Right] to directly wipe out Amon's clone, but at this moment the Time Worm began to wriggle and uttered an old voice: "Mysterious existence, please show mercy."

Then the Time Worm emerged from the Beyonder Characteristics, and after a twist, it turned into a decent-looking old man with completely white hair. "I am just avoiding Amon's sight in this way. I didn't mean to break in here."

"…"

Edward was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "Pallez Zoroast?"

The old man was startled and showed surprise: "You know me."

It really is this person.

How did he end up in the ruins of Amon?

Edward leaned back and said calmly, "How did you end up in Amon's ruins?"

Pales smiled bitterly: "I was previously inhabiting the body of a descendant of Abraham, and he came there following a treasure map found by his family."

"I tried to stop him, but he refused to give up any chance to lift the family curse. I was too badly injured at the time and couldn't take control of his body. I could only watch him walk into the tomb and die of old age."

"In order to protect myself, I had no choice but to use the last Sequence 4 Beyonder characteristic besides Sequence 1. I used it to deceive Amon and made Him think that it was just a Sequence 4 'idiot' who fell into His trap."

"It's just a bet that "He" doesn't have much interest in Sequence 4, and then wait for the next unlucky person to come and escape."

Facing this mysterious man who was completely unpredictable but posed a greater threat to him than Amon, Pales chose to confess directly, "I don't know how long I have been dormant in my Beyonder characteristics. I was awakened only when I felt the fatal danger just now."

Pales felt the familiar yet strange atmosphere around him and suppressed the shock in his heart: "Where is this..."

"Haven't you guessed it?"

Edward looked at Him and said.

"…"

Pales had a headache. He really didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky.

After finally escaping from Amon's trap, he turned a corner and ran into Sephira Castle.

Chapter 490: Speculations about the Spiritual Master's Role

If Sefirah Castle had no owner, this would definitely be great news, but the man in front of him - he suspected that it was most likely the consciousness of Sefirah Castle that was "spiritualized" by itself. Of course, there was also a slight possibility that some "old friend" took the lead and quietly occupied this Sefirah.

No matter which one it is, it's troublesome.

If it were the self before being injured by Amon, he would have tried to fight for the source essence, but he was too badly injured now.

Edward was also struggling at the moment. Although he wanted to find Pales to ask about Lilith, he didn't want to see Him in Sefirah Castle.

After all, it involves the source material of the Gou San family. Even the thief's last conscience cannot be fully trusted, right?

But if he were to be killed directly, wouldn't Leonard's timeline be in big trouble?

You know, in the future, I have dealt with Mr. Pales and seen him take action, so I am sure that there is such a thief angel parasitizing in Leonard's body.

If he wanted to "fool" time in the same way as before, he would have to find a thief angel to replace Pallez and parasitize Leonard's body - isn't this somewhat difficult?

But, just let Him go like this?

Edward let the gold coins fly between his fingers, thought for a moment and said, "Do you know Lilith? Not the Lilith of the Blood Clan, but the Lilith of another witch path."

The change of topic confused Pales for half a second, then he frowned and said, "I have heard of her, but I have no connection with her."

"Tell me what you know about her."

"In fact, when I heard of His name, He had already fallen. It is said that He died in the battle for the throne with Chick. Originally, this Lilith should have been one step closer to the Original Witch, and Chick... was equivalent to her 'follower god'. But then one day, Chick suddenly promoted to Sequence 0, and He also fell."

Edward frowned and thought. What Pales said was almost the same as Medici's, but Medici knew more details.

"By the way, I heard that when Chick later cooperated with Hades, he seemed to have tried to track down someone, but at that time, no one knew who he was looking for. Some people said it was Lilith. ^Micro\Fun\Novel~ _First^Post-"

really.

Lilith survived the war to be promoted to Sequence 0 through some unknown means, and Chick had been searching for her whereabouts until she was finally forced to appear in the future.

"Pallez Zoroast."

Edward looked at him calmly, "How do you think I should deal with you, an uninvited guest?"

"I am alive, and I am much more useful than a Sequence 1 Beyonder."

Pales analyzed calmly, "After all, Amon will have to devote some of his energy to finding me. Unless you have completely taken control of this place and are no longer afraid of Amon."

Although this sentence is somewhat tentative, it is indeed what Pales considers to be "his greatest value."

Edward tapped the tabletop, and a piece of parchment suddenly materialized out of thin air and landed in Pales's hands.

"Say these three sentences in Hermetic."

Pales looked down and said calmly without hesitation:

"The eternal ruler of the dimension,

"The Deconstructor of the Endless Story,

"Transcendence of the past and the future."

As He finished reciting the three-part formula, a crimson star symbolizing Pales lit up in the depths of the gray fog. Edward extended his spirituality and injected it into the star, immediately establishing a connection between Pales and Sefirah Castle.

Edward then threw another gold coin and reinforced it with [Madman on the Right]:

From now on, as long as he thought about it, he could directly pull Pales into Sefirah Castle; and as long as He entered Sefirah Castle, Edward could control Him with the help of "Madman on the Right".

As a former Trojan Horse of Fate, Pales also felt a certain change in his fate at this time, but he relaxed instead - this meant that his life would not be in danger for at least a short period of time.

"Okay, you can leave now."

"etc."

But Pales quickly shouted, "...I hope you can take away my memories of this place." - This request was obviously intended to make Edward feel more at ease with him.

"…"

Edward just said calmly:

"No, maybe we'll meet again soon."

"I see."

Edward waved his hand, and an illusory light gate appeared, carrying Pallez and the Sequence 4 Beyonder characteristic out of the Sequence Castle with a gust of wind.

"Mr. Pales, you really gave me a difficult problem."

...

The other side.

Pales only felt the gray mist rolling in front of his eyes, and in a trance he had left the small garden and came to the streets of a city.

Almost instantly, He felt a strong sense of weakness coming over Him.

In order to escape Amon's hunting, He continuously split (expelled) the Beyonder Characteristic Gecko's Tail. Until the last time He was trapped in the mausoleum, He split out the last characteristic other than Sequence 1 - that is, this Sequence 4 Beyonder Characteristic.

So He is very weak now.

He gently threw out the Sequence 4 Beyonder characteristic, and the ancient stone clock behind him turned, absorbing the Beyonder characteristic into it, and his overall condition obviously improved a little.

"Well, I still have to find someone to parasitize, but if I run into a stubborn person like last time, I'd rather not parasitize him anymore."

The descendants of Abraham are so stupid. They knew it was Amon's trap, but they still jumped into it. We must stay away from such people in the future.

Just as he was thinking about it, a man walking towards him suddenly frowned and said, "Huh?"

...

The magic potions of the arcane and spiritual masters were digested again.

The mystic's digestion was not surprising. Although Edward had not been mysterious during their brief time together, his sitting in the Source Castle meant "mystery" to Pales. In addition, Pales would certainly not tell everyone about what happened today, which also triggered the "secret keeping".

The digestion progress of the secret wizard's potion has reached more than one half.

And this time the spiritual mage's digestion was actually a small part!

Edward hit his head and wondered what the hell I had done to cause the spiritual mage to digest it.

He once again went over in his mind what happened before the spirit mage's potion was digested, then produced a pen and parchment and began to write:

Known: Using [False Reality] can digest the potion.

Secondly, after several contacts with Medici, Renette and Pales, the potion was digested - but these times, [False Reality] was not used.

And what else…

Edward pressed his forehead hard and began to recall all the relevant information about the Spirit Mage, from the extraordinary characteristics of the Spirit Mage, its ritual, to the Spirit Mage's abilities, and then to the relevant information about the promotion to Sequence 3...

Until, a piece of information that he had always ignored emerged in his mind, the description of being promoted to a spiritual mage:

"Memory is immortal, the soul is immortal."

Memory...Memory?!

Edward paused as he suddenly realized, "These digestions actually have one thing in common, which is that it was my first time meeting them, and I left them with more or less memories."

He quickly wrote on the parchment:

Therefore, the key point of a spiritual mage's role is to make others remember you!

Let yourself "live" deeply in the other person's memory - to achieve the so-called immortal memory and immortal soul?

If this is the case, why can [false reality] also be digested?... I understand. [False reality] is actually also a kind of influence or manipulation on other people's memory (consciousness).

But there is still one problem that doesn't make sense!

Although they are both Sequence 1 angels, Medici was once the King of Angels. Why did he digest less potions after two contacts with Him than after one with Pales?

Therefore, there is still a key point that has not been grasped——

And this key point is probably related to the ability of [False Reality]!

The thing is, I didn't use false reality on Pales this time.

After thinking hard for a while, Edward still couldn't find any clue.

"It seems that there is not enough data from the 'experiment'."

But if the spiritual mage's performance is really as he guessed, a problem will arise:

When traveling back to the past, one needs to be as "low-key" as possible to avoid accidentally doing something that affects the future course of history.

But Master Ling needs to leave a deep impression on others.

There is a certain conflict between the two.

This is not a easy thing to do.

...

In the future year 1349, Backlund.

Leonard followed the hooded figure in front of him leisurely, communicating with Pales in his mind: "Old man, I always feel that something is wrong with Ms. Daly recently."

"Oh, you know this again?"

"Haven't you noticed? Not only has she removed her weird makeup recently, but she's also become a lot more cheerful."

"Isn't this a good thing? Why, are you attracted to her?"

Leonard denied it immediately: "How is it possible! You were the one who told me about Ms. Daly's...relationship with the captain. How could I..."

When mentioning Captain Dunn, his mood suddenly became much lower.

"She's become more cheerful, isn't that a good thing?"

"It's a good thing, but... I just find it a little hard to accept. According to what you said, although she and the captain didn't confess their feelings to each other before, they had a deep relationship. But now... she seems to have forgotten the hatred for the captain."

Pales said calmly: "Do you think people should always be stuck in the past and hatred, and shouldn't step out to embrace a new life?"

"…"

Leonard was silent.

That was the truth, but he still couldn't accept it calmly: it was as if, apart from himself, no one in this world cared about the death of the captain and Klein, no one wanted to avenge them anymore, and gradually no one remembered them anymore.

The old man said more than once:

Forgetting is the real death.

Chapter 491: Space-Time Police

Just as he was in a daze, Pales suddenly said in his heart: "No need to follow him anymore, that person has disappeared."

"disappear?!"

Leonard's face changed and he quickly quickened his pace and ran forward, but sure enough, the man was nowhere to be seen.

"Did you discover how he left?"

"perhaps."

Pales said, "It's not teleportation, nor is it traveling through the spirit world. It's a special method... This method was once used by someone in front of you."

"who?"

"Edward."

Leonard's eyes suddenly became hot: "So, that man just now is indeed related to Edward! I finally caught him!"

Pales poured cold water on him: "It's just that you found someone who is related to him, and you make it seem like you have avenged your great hatred. Besides, have you ever thought about it, even if you find him, are you his opponent?"

"...I plan to be promoted to Requiem Master next week."

"Not enough."

"Then continue to advance."
