Chapter 499 A glimmer of hope
Backlund, the city of hope.
This sentence was originally meant for outsiders outside Backlund, because here is the most advanced technology, art, industry, and banking in the entire Loen Kingdom...
As long as you have enough ability, this is the city of hope with gold everywhere, which contains infinite possibilities.
"Backlund, the city of hope..." Leonard repeated it twice, and his expression became excited.
Where is the old man's hope? Hope is in Backlund!
"Some people just say a simple sentence, but they can change the already fixed fate. I really hope you are such a person."
There was a deep meaning in Pales' tone. Just at that moment, when Hastur said that hope was in Backlund, He seemed to have really caught a corner of the future.
In that future, he successfully avoided Amon's swallowing.
However, such similar abilities should not come from believers of the stars, but from believers of fools.
Because there is a sign of destiny, which is to see through destiny with one word.
"I also hope that I am such a person. At least, I gave you a hope." Hastur just smiled.
"Thank you, this is what I need most right now."
After a few more brief conversations, Hastur asked why Leonard didn't go find Klein first and seek the help of the Fool.
"I don't know where Klein has gone. I haven't seen him for a long time." Leonard sighed.
He went to Boklund Street to find Klein at first, but he didn't see Klein or Dawn Donstadt.
In the end, he could only leave a letter and take a carriage to Queens.
"He should come to you in your dream tonight."
Hearing Hastur say this, Leonard's mouth twitched. He actually hated being disturbed in the middle of the night, even though he didn't need to rest.
After Leonard left, Hastur sat in the study, thinking about how to help Pales survive this disaster.
It's not difficult to survive. After all, in the original work, Pales relied on his years of exploration to reduce his status from Sequence 1 to Sequence 2 and successfully survived.
What he needed to do was to preserve the extraordinary characteristics of the Sequence 1 Time Worm on Pales, and how to target Amon.
With the experience of Backlund last time, if Amon came again, he would definitely be fully prepared, and even let Adam help him.
After all, last time, Amon came to ask for 008 because of Adam.
"If I were Amon, when would I choose to take action?"
After Hastur thought about it a little bit, he quickly sent two servants to chase Leonard back, and at the same time called Gray Carrie from the spirit world and retrieved the sealed box of the old days, and then went to the Hall of Stars and asked Madam Lisa to come back and be ready to take action at any time.
If he was Amon, then now would be the best time to take action!
After the failure of asking for 008 last time, even if Amon's clone did not send any news back to the main body, Amon must know that there was something fishy here.
In the absence of the help of the Goddess of Night, Pales, the only ones who can really stop Amon are the Fool and the Stars.
He could only come here for help, and this place was the contact point of the stars. If Amon was hiding quietly nearby, then after Leonard left a certain distance, it would be the best time to take action!
In Queens, on King Avenue, the carriage Leonard was riding in had just left Hastur for about 500 meters. When he heard the call from Hastur's servants behind him, Leonard was about to lift the curtain of the carriage to take a look.
"It's too late! Amon is coming!"
Pallez in Leonard's body couldn't help but exclaimed.
The surrounding space was stagnant, the carriage stopped moving, and the two well-trained horses were crawling on the ground, trembling.
A gust of wind came, blowing away the wooden frame of the carriage, exposing Leonard outside.
The man was wearing a robe-like black windbreaker, paired with black pants and black leather shoes, with a thin face, a tall hat and a very distinctive monocle, and the whole person looked very gentle.
Amon!
Blasphemer Amon!
Even though he had never actually seen the blasphemer Amon, Leonard guessed his identity at first sight, his eyes were full of horror, it was too fast!
He didn't even have time to ask the Fool for help.
Oh, you can go directly through the Tarot Club!
Leonard then remembered that he could contact the Fool in this way.
Before, he just thought that Klein was the Fool's follower and was more suitable to be a middleman.
When the thought of asking the Fool for help just flashed through Leonard's mind, it disappeared in the next second. The whole person was in a daze, as if his whole brain was emptied.
"Pallez, I really want to reminisce with you, but time is running out."
When Amon said this, the sky outside was covered with dark clouds, and a violent lightning was brewing.
"The stars are already watching here, Amon, you can't leave Backlund."
"You don't need to worry about me."
Knowing that he couldn't delay time, Amon stretched out his hand and threw out a bone church, which swelled in the wind and soon became a huge bone palace like a giant.
Every dark pillar, every arch, and every dome in the palace is inlaid with white bones of different races. They are densely packed and chaotically crowded together, staring at the slightly smaller target in the center of the hall with empty eyes, like A trial is taking place.
This is the church of bones from Adam, which has the ability to block all prying eyes.
Just when the Church of Bones was about to be completed, Pales sighed inside Leonard and threw Leonard out of the Church of Bones.
This time Amon came so fast that he had no time to prepare.
Anyone who lets his thoughts have been guessed by Amon will not be wronged if he loses.
Just when Pales lost his fighting spirit, the entire Bone Church began to sway, as if it was being targeted by a powerful sealed object and was about to be forcibly sucked away.
At the same time, thunderbolts belonging to the Storm Lord fell down, trying to forcefully break open the Bone Church.
Under the attack, even the Bone Church had a crack briefly appear at this moment.
Seeing that the situation had changed, Pales no longer hesitated, forcibly restored his peak state, and escaped from the crack at high speed.
The powerful will to survive that erupted from him at this moment made Amon look at him sideways.
Amon looked up and frowned slightly: "It came so quickly. Am I too underestimating your wisdom, or are you really paying attention to everything?"
The opportunity has been lost, even if he is facing the divine punishment of the Lord of Storms and the gaze of the stars, he has to avoid the edge for a while.
"Need the secrecy of night."
Amon stared for a while, looking at the crazy thunder pouring from the sky above his head. With a sway, he put away the Bone Church and left Backlund.
He just came here to confirm his inner speculation this time. All his clones were buried in Backlund, so he knew that Backlund had what he wanted.
When Zaratul revealed the news this time, he got rid of that annoying guy as quickly as possible and came to Backlund to guard him.
Sure enough, Pales was defended, but the stars reacted too quickly and appeared in time to help Pales escape the disaster.
"Hasta Campbell, I remember you."
Amon, who left Backlund, didn't have an overly depressed look on his face. He also acted in a hurry this time and was not fully prepared.
Otherwise, the Lord of Storms and the Stars would not be able to discover Him so easily.
"Pallez, you don't dare to leave Backlund at all. I will find you again sooner or later."
It was confirmed that Palles was in Backlund, and Amon was in a pretty good mood.
At this time, the surrounding space changed, and a similarly young figure came forward.
Amon put away the smile on his face and said coldly: "If you want to lend me my hand to help you test the stars, don't follow me all the time."
"Games are also what I enjoy." The high-dimensional overlooker didn't care about Amon's attitude, and looked at Backlund's starry sky.
The stars were twinkling there, and even He felt a little strange.
"The relationship between you and the stars is really interesting."
"If you want to explore these, you are still far away." Gao Dimensional Overlooker just said lightly.
Amon was not angry, looked at Backlund again, and quickly left the place.
The high-dimensional overlooker also left and continued to chase Amon.
Above the Hall of Stars, Hastur looked around the King's Avenue through the Hall of Stars, and only after confirming that there was no trace of Amon, he looked back.
If he hadn't suddenly guessed that Amon might block Leonard and Palles, he would never have reacted so quickly.
The Storm Lord alone cannot stop the cooperation between Amon and the Bone Church.
It was he who used the power of the Hall of Stars to drive the Box of the Old and shake Amon's Bone Church to a certain extent.
Give Pales a hope of escape.
Pales, who has hope, is not something that Amon can solve in a short time, even if Pales has only returned to Sequence 2 now.
"This is just the beginning. Amon will definitely stay outside Backlund and continue to look for suitable opportunities."
Hastur's eyes looked toward the star where the High Dimensional Overlooker was.
The two times Amon came to Backlund, the High-dimensional Overlooker only appeared after Amon failed each time, which proved that he had other ideas in his mind.
However, in the past, the relationship between the stars and the outer gods such as the High-dimensional Overlooker, the Mother Tree of Desire, and the Superstar Lord was not a simple superior-subordinate relationship. If you want the high-dimensional Overlooker to do things, you need to provide sufficient benefits, or the stars' promises about the future.
This is what the high-dimensional overlookers wanted to wait for, so they allowed Amon to test the stars.
In this way, no matter what the result of Amon's temptation is, he can enjoy the results. If the stars need his help, he will be able to get help from the stars once in the future.
As for Amon, the High Dimensional Overlooker should not mind taking Amon as a gift to the stars. Unfortunately, Amon has a good brother, and the high dimensional Overlooker's clone cannot really deal with Amon.
