After saying that, Edward waved his hand to cut off the connection with Pales, letting him disappear in the Sephira Castle. Then he looked at the others and said calmly, "Listen carefully to Pales's arrangements."

The five people bowed their heads at the same time: "We will follow your will."

A few minutes later,

As Pales prayed deeply, a hazy and illusory door gradually appeared in the depths of the gray fog. Layer after layer of spiritual power spread out in waves, stimulating the surrounding gray fog.

Under the spiritual vibration, the five people's spirits felt as if they were standing naked in the biting cold wind, as if they would be torn apart in the next second.

Edward spread out his own spirituality, adding to the shock and excitement of the illusory door.

Bang!

Amidst the unreal voice, the hazy door slowly opened!

Edward waved his hand and rolled their spirits into the illusory gate. The moment their figures disappeared, he severed the spiritual connection and closed the gate.

He immediately communicated with the Crimson Stars of the few people again, observing their states after leaving Sefirah Castle, and discovered that the five of them had successfully become evil spirits—and they were rational evil spirits.

Is it because of Sefirah Castle?

still...

Edward suddenly remembered something: According to the original book, all people will become ghosts wandering along the River of Everlasting Darkness after death (even the resurrection of miracle workers and the undead cannot avoid this), but now... the River of Everlasting Darkness is almost dried up, could it be related to this?

After a while,

Edward felt a vague revelation: the ceremony for advancement to Sequence 3—

Done!

He breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally done."

As expected, letting the story enter reality is not simply "entering" reality, but also existing in reality. If they are not pulled into the Sefirah Castle and allowed to continue to survive as evil spirits, then the ritual may have failed.

"Huh, now all we need is the rover's extraordinary characteristics and some auxiliary materials."

But a day has passed since I entered Groselle's Travels, and I don't know what the situation is in Trier now - "Intis" will not deny my debt just because I took the brass stick away, right?

Bang bang bang!

At this moment, a burst of crisp applause suddenly rang out. -First\First?Read?Book¨Net* +Chasing?The most*Core￠璋￠劫~

In the empty Sefirah Castle, a person suddenly appeared:

He is wearing a black classical robe and a pointed hat of the same color. He has black curly hair, black eyes, a broad forehead, a thin face, and a crystal monocle on his right eye.

Amon.

Chapter 555 Amon, Eat Bugs

Trier, Kingdom of Intis.

The Royal Tombs.

Christine walked slowly and leisurely, passing the chapel chamber and the column chamber on the first level of the catacombs, and walked along the ancient stairs to the entrance of the old ossuary on the second level. She met no one and nothing happened along the way.

It was as if she was the only one in this underground world, and nothing could be heard except her light footsteps.

She continued forward, and soon came to a vast expanse of empty wilderness.

An ancient bronze coffin was quietly placed there.

"Oh, we finally meet."

Christine smiled faintly, "It's really not easy."

At this time, the lid of the coffin opened, revealing a deep gap, and a hand with deep red and almost black blood vessels protruding stretched out. In the palm of the hand was a heart that was extremely dry, but with a little blood leaking out, and was still gently and barely noticeably contracting and expanding.

At the same time, a strong and terrible force mixed with madness and uncontrolled malice surged out from the cracks in the coffin, causing a strong madness that made Christine's clothes and hair float.

But she shook her head and said, "I'm not talking about you, Fomonda Solon."

Christmena turned her head slightly to look behind her, and saw a purple figure that appeared out of nowhere. "It's Him."

"You say so, Chick?"

The only response she got was a blush.

...

Inside the source castle.

Amon clapped his hands gently. "Isn't it fun and exciting to pretend to be a god? Isn't it great to see those who are higher in sequence than you being frightened in front of you? ￠罗拉?晓-说! +追·罪,欣?章-踕,"

"certainly."

Edward sat on the ancient bronze chair and looked at Amon calmly: "Welcome to my territory, Amon."

His reaction made Amon slightly stunned. He said with a smile: "You don't seem to be too surprised by my appearance? Or are you pretending to be calm?"

"What do you think?"

Edward's tone was more amused: "As someone who helped in this matter, since I can get a Dreamweaver's Beyonder characteristic as a 'reward', there is no reason for you to work in vain."

"Especially... your transformation was too obvious. Did Adam promise you something?" He said to himself, "What could Adam promise you? Since you were most interested in me at the time, it's not surprising that he used me as a 'reward' given Adam's personality and style of doing things."

"For example, letting you follow me into Sefirah Castle without anyone noticing."

The smile on Amon's face gradually disappeared. He touched the monocle on his right eye and said, "You are not stupid. So you have already prepared yourself to face me? I am very curious, where do you get the confidence to face me?"

"He" raised his head and glanced around. "Is it Sefirah Castle? Or is it because I am just a Sequence 4 clone? Or is it something else?"

"Is it possible that I just have confidence in myself?"

Edward flicked out the gold coin in his hand again. "Actually, I'm more curious about why you waited until they all left before showing up. Haven't you been looking for Pales for thousands of years?"

Amon raised his eyebrows. "I just had a feeling that if I took action at that time, it would be very dangerous. Although I can't imagine what means you have to threaten me."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Edward laughed. "Then you can really thank your spiritual premonition."

Amon: "…"

"Oh, by the way, I actually wanted to ask you before, you... are actually the same Amon as the Amon in Trier, right? You pretended to see me for the first time in the dream world just to let down my guard?"

He raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "That's right, but it seems to be of little use."

Amon took a few steps forward and sat down on a chair beside the round table. He said calmly, "I'm waiting to parasitize you. What are you waiting for?"

Feeling his body gradually losing control, Edward broke free with an Unruly move and said with a smile, "I thought you were planning to steal my fate and replace me as the master of Sefirah Castle."

"Are you afraid to take on the responsibility that the master of Sefirah Castle should take? Or are you worried that the Celestial Master will be resurrected in your body?"

As he spoke, Edward had a bird cage the size of a palm in his hand and placed it on the table. "I'm helping you weave your future home."

"What?"

Edward gently opened the cage door: "Welcome home, little crow."

"???"

The next second, Amon felt an irresistible attraction pulling Him towards the birdcage. No matter how he tried to gain distance, escape by parasitism, or deceive, it was all useless.

He could only watch his body getting smaller and smaller, getting closer and closer to the small birdcage. The moment he entered the birdcage, black feathers quickly grew on his skin, and his body changed accordingly.

In the blink of an eye, it turned completely into a little crow with a black body and wearing a monocle.

Pop.

Edward closed the cage door, lifted the cage up and said with a smile, "Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"

Amon in the cage stared into Edward's eyes quietly, deftly touched the monocle on his right eye with his wings, and laughed cheerfully, "Interesting."

Edward loosened his grip and let the bird cage float in the air. "I wanted to kill you, but suddenly I thought it would be a shame. You are Amon's clone after all. Maybe it can be of some use if I keep you in my hands."

Amon said: "It seems that you are very confident in your means of controlling me."

"It's okay."

Edward materialized a pair of tweezers. He spread out his palm, picked up the still squirming Time Worm that was expelled from his body, stuffed it into the cage, and handed it to the little crow's mouth: "Here, eat the worm."

"…"

Amon was not polite. He opened his mouth, bit the Time Worm and swallowed it. A mysterious symbol flickered on his monocle:

"Thank you for the treat."

Boom.

He tapped the table lightly, and a weeping willow tree grew behind Edward. He picked up the birdcage and hung it on the branch of the willow tree. "Next, you will live here for a while. I want to do an interesting experiment."

Amon's dark pupils shrank. "What experiment?"

"If... you are injected with abundant humanity, what will happen when you return to your original form?"

...

After leaving Sephira Castle, Edward returned to the living room. On the worn-out floor were the decayed remains of the five people's bones and the separated extraordinary characteristics.

He waved his hand and put them all away - strictly speaking, these things were the last proof that Groselle and the others were alive in this world.

The little crow Amon naturally stayed in Sephira Castle. Edward was worried that if he was brought out, it would attract other clones of Amon or even the real body in a matter of minutes.

As for whether Amon would cause trouble in Sefirah Castle - with [Madman on the Right] + Sefirah Castle's forced reversal, even if Amon's real body came, he would not get any good results.

Just as I was about to leave the house and see where this was, there was a knock on the door and an old voice came from outside: "Can I come in?"

It is the Archangel of the Word, Stephen.

Edward immediately became alert, he did not forget that the old man was still chasing him.

However, since He chose to knock on the door so politely, it meant that He at least had no intention of taking action for now - there was no doubt that He was doing it for Lilith's sake.

"Come in."

With a creak, Steve with white hair pushed the door open and walked in. His hair seemed to be relatively sparse compared to before. Perhaps it was because of the continuous attacks he had suffered in the dream world and the world in the book, which also caused him considerable damage.

"Sir, you are looking for me because of... Lilith?"

Edward asked straight to the point.

"yes."

Steve nodded slightly and took out a book from his pocket: "Do you know this?" - He was holding the elementary school textbook of Lilith.

Edward narrowed his eyes, the textbook was indeed in his hand.

"Of course, this is from me for Lilith."

He looked at Edward, as if examining whether what he said was true or false.

Half a minute later, Stiver handed the textbook to Edward, and a trace of sadness flashed in his calm eyes. "This is a relic she left behind before she died."

In Stifer's opinion, did Lilith also fall?

Sure enough, except for a few people, everyone who knew Lilith thought she had died long ago.

Edward took the book and turned directly to the place where the little red flower was clipped. He took out the flattened little red flower. On the back was Lilith's childish handwriting: "Ms. Lilith is the smartest cat!"

"What is your relationship with Lilith?"

He looked at Stiver and asked.

Stiver replied, "I was adopted by her for a period of time when I was a child."

"Then why did you become a believer in... that Lord?"

"Later, she thought it was too troublesome to have someone around, so she asked me to follow His Excellency Medici. Later, I believed in the Supreme God who created everything."

As he spoke, his eyes became crazy and pious again, and his tone became cold: "You killed the Messenger of God and acted in the name of God in his place. This is a blasphemy and insult to God!"

"As the Holy Word Angel under the Lord's throne, I should have punished you personally, but..."

He did not say the rest of the words, but took a half step back, "If this happens again, I will fight to the death!"

After saying this, Stiver disappeared.

Edward stuffed the little red flower back into the textbook, flipped through the notes written by Lilith inside, and murmured, "I'm taking advantage of Lilith again."

Which time period in the past did this little guy return to, and how did he get along so well with these "big guys" who came later?

I feel a bit like the heroine in a female-oriented novel—everyone falls in love with me!

After sacrificing the textbook to Sefirah Castle, Edward passed through the wall and left the living room of an unknown family. The sunset in the sky gradually sank to the west, and the crimson moon had already risen.

The warm and humid sea breeze blowing in your face makes you feel a little tired. On the distant coast, fishing boats returning late are approaching the shore, and the fishermen are still busy packing up today's catch and taking it off the boat.

"Huh? This is..."

Edward suddenly turned around and looked at this seemingly port town, quite surprised: "Bansi?"

This is Bansi?

Bansi one hundred and ninety years ago was naturally very different from the future, but the overall layout of the buildings was very similar, especially some of the buildings were exactly the same as the "other world" that Edward had entered.

Why did Father Maozi throw me to Bansi?

If it was somewhere else, it would probably be just a random act, but Bansi is the city that leads to disaster... or even a special place in the Western Continent. Edward has reason to suspect that He may have a certain purpose.

As expected of him, he was Adam. One moment he could say to me, "We each take what we need. Are you satisfied?", and the next second he gave his "reward" to Amon without hesitation - he probably expected that I would have a way to deal with Amon, so he arranged other tasks for me.

Am I satisfied?

I am satisfied with you!

Chapter 556: The Waves Have Not Been Settled

Just as I was thinking this, the last ray of sunset fell, dark clouds and mist covered the red moon, and the sky suddenly turned dark.

"Woo woo woo!"

With a hoarse whistling sound, a huge black sailboat appeared on the sea in the distance and slowly approached the port. The fishermen stopped what they were doing and looked over, discussing in twos and threes.

The moment he saw the sailboat, Edward felt a terrible malice coming towards him, and it tried desperately to get into his body, but was blocked outside his body because of his immunity to [Stupidity].

This is pollution!

"Ah! Ah!!"

At this time, the fishermen who were looking into the distance screamed one after another. Their bodies swelled up rapidly, and their arms, calves, and other parts of the body seemed to be inflated.

"ah!!"

When the swelling reached its limit, most of the fishermen exploded and turned into a rain of blood and flesh, while a small number of them turned into crazy and terrifying monsters and pounced on those who had not mutated.

For a moment, the port turned into a hell on earth.

"Lihuo."

Bright red flames surged out, quickly heading towards the polluted and mutated people, and quickly burned the fishing boats in the port to ashes.

Edward took a step forward and came to a few dozen meters away from the strange sailboat. His figure changed repeatedly, leaving behind a series of illusory doors to surround the sailboat in order to block the pollution it emitted.

Then he hid behind the illusory door and released the fierce fire again towards the black sailboat.

boom!

As soon as the fierce fire touched the sailboat, it expanded rapidly, and soon crawled all over the ship like a maggot. But what surprised Edward was that although the flames burned vigorously, they did not cause the slightest damage to the hull. It felt like the ship was only covered with a layer of fierce fire "coat".

With the light from the blazing fire, Edward finally saw the pattern embroidered on the sail - it was a golden laurel flower.

Laurel?

Laurel?!

Edward was stunned. This wasn't right. How could the Laurel appear in Bansi?

Shouldn't it have set out from the Sea of ​​​​Interval and headed for the nameless island in the Misty Sea? Even if it had set out quietly a long time ago, it shouldn't have appeared here - if I remember correctly, the direction of the nameless island is completely opposite to Bansi!

Either this ship embroidered with golden laurel is not the Laurel, or... there is something wrong with some of the information here.

bite.

Edward caught the gold coin and turned it upside down to show that this ship was the Laurel of Abraham's family! But where were all the people on the ship? Did they abandon the ship and escape, or did they die long ago due to pollution?

It seems that the information Mr. Men told me at that time was actually false. He did not let the descendants of Abraham sail to the nameless island, but asked them to come to Bansi?

The reason he lied was to mislead me so as not to disrupt one of His plans?

So what is His plan? Return to reality from the starry sky?

Impossible!

The Seven Gods, especially the Goddess of Night, would never allow this to happen, and what does His return have to do with Banshee?

At this time, the fierce fire that had been burning on the Laurel for half a day gradually went out without causing any damage. At first glance, the black sailboat looked as good as new.

Woo woo woo.

The Laurel roared again, trying to break through the illusory door that blocked it.

Edward was suspended in the air, looking down at the black sailboat below, feeling hesitant: the Laurel that he had been looking for for so long was right before his eyes, but it might be related to Mr. Men, or even the Fallen Mother Goddess, and was obviously very dangerous.

However, the result of divination showed that the Wanderer's extraordinary characteristics or related items he wanted were on the ship.

How about... I go back to Trier first to check what's going on with Intis before deciding whether to take the risk?

Just as I thought of this, the crimson moonlight in the sky became deeper and thicker!

Edward looked up suddenly and found that the dark clouds and mist in the sky had dissipated, and the crimson moon was clearly revealed. Its outline quickly became fuller, and after just one or two seconds, it turned into a full moon, a blood-red full moon!

But it has been less than a week since the last full moon.

This is the "blood moon" unique to the mysterious world!

The thick crimson moonlight fell on the sailboat, exuding an eerie atmosphere.

Snap, snap, snap.

The illusory doors that blocked the Laurel were broken one by one, and turned into empty spots of light that disappeared in the sky. At the same time, the black sailboat suddenly became illusory and transparent, and it tore through the air and sailed into the spiritual world.

It wants to escape!

Edward knew he couldn't hesitate any longer, so he flashed and followed, "Zoom in, spiritual travel is prohibited here."

The Laurel, which had just sailed halfway into the spirit world, was immediately squeezed out by an invisible force and landed on the sea, creating huge waves. Edward flashed again and finally landed on the deck of the black sailing ship.

As soon as he landed, he felt something soft under his feet, as if he was stepping on soft mud instead of wooden deck. He looked down and was shocked. The mud under his feet was not mud... it was black and red flesh!

This entire sailboat is basically a living "extraordinary creature".

Crunch.

Just as he thought of this, a harsh and piercing voice was heard. He quickly floated up and suspended in the air again. He saw that the person who was originally standing had torn open a huge mouth with scarlet teeth.

Seeing Edward floating up, the giant mouth and tongue squirmed, turning into an afterimage and rolling towards Edward.

He dodged with a flash and casually poured a silver-white lightning into his mouth. The whole ship suddenly trembled, as if feeling intense pain, and the huge mouth hurriedly closed.

"Avada Kedavra!"

In the instant before his mouth closed, several dark green killing curses were poured in, causing the Laurel to tremble again. It took a while for it to calm down, and then it stopped quietly on the sea.

But Edward did not relax. He lowered his head and silver lightning flickered violently in his eyes. The next second, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket fell from the sky and struck the boat hard, turning into electric snakes that quickly spread out.

This was just the beginning. As dark clouds quickly gathered over the Laurel, thunder rolled and headed far away. Thick and bright lightning bolts fell simultaneously or successively, constantly striking the ship.

The blinding light bloomed on the entire sea and did not stop for a long time. During this process, the wand in his hand almost flew out sparks. He threw one killing curse after another at the boat, while continuing to steal.

finally,

The damage sustained by the Laurel seemed to have reached a limit.

The originally brand new black sailboat suddenly changed its appearance. Not only were there many large and small black holes on its surface, the mast was broken, the sails were damaged, the deck was cracked, and even the cabin collapsed. At first glance, it looked like an old broken ship that had been sunk on the seabed for many years and had just been salvaged.

Plop, plop, plop.

Through the crack in the deck, Edward saw a huge black and red heart covered with veins inside the hull, beating slowly.

A half-meter-wide and -high black wooden box is embedded in the center of the heart, half of which is inside and half is outside.

Tear.

At this moment, accompanied by a series of sticky and disgusting sounds, the tendons on the black and red heart were torn apart, and arms covered in blood stretched out from the heart. They grabbed, scratched, and tore aimlessly and frantically, looking disgusting and creepy.

"That wooden box..."

Edward suddenly became intelligent and realized that the ship could be revived because of the box. He immediately reached out and grabbed it: steal it.
