Chapter 124 Another Choice

"...Mr. Men told me that in the Tudor Dynasty, there were five nobles, Abraham, Antigonus, Amon, Tamara and Jacob. Each of these families can be called an 'Angel Family' ’, possessing extremely terrifying strength.”
"'Angel Family', just this name can explain a lot of things. It's so desirable! Mr. Gate said that there are not only these five angel families in the Fourth Age, but also Chara who has always been loyal to the Solomon Empire. Tu and the Zoroastrian family, the Augustus, Sauron, Einhorn, and Castilla families of the Trunsoest dynasty, the secretive demon family, Andrerad, and Beria and North, as well as the witch family, which is a step further than the angel family and originates from the true God.”
"It turns out that the final winner of the Fourth Age was the Trunsoest Dynasty, but where did their royal family go? The four great angel families, Augustus and Sauron, divided up the Northern Continent."
"As Mr. Men said last time, the number of top powerhouses in the Fourth Age is beyond my imagination. However, most of them have been buried in the dust of history. Even the Sauron family has declined and was I overturn it. In another thousand or two thousand years, perhaps Augustus and other families will no longer exist. Only those true gods will seem to shine on the real world forever."
"Although there are gods who have fallen in the Fourth Age, they should only be a very small number. This reminds me of a sentence that I wrote down when I was reading online novels. I can use it here after revising it:
"If you don't become a true god, you will eventually become ashes!"
"The time for communication is over. Mr. Door is offline. He is really like a prisoner who is released at a fixed time, and he does know enough. When he mentioned the Zaratul family just now, there was a touch of contempt in his tone. .”
"Perhaps I have to maintain my relationship with Mr. Gate and leave a way out of the Church of Steam, Zaratul, and that secret and ancient organization."
"Yes, and Edward."
"He has shown dissatisfaction with me, which is good. I can't let Him live. If He lives, Bernadette will be harmed. It just so happens that the ancient secret organization is willing to help."
Seeing this sentence, Klein felt very much the same.
When Emperor Russell was struggling in the end, he only thought of the organization that was suspected of being the "Twilight Hermits"... And the "Twilight Hermits" were still willing to help, deal with the demon angels? This is something I didn't expect, but it's in line with common sense... However, Mr. "Men" was not mentioned at all. Something seems to have happened in the middle... It turns out that the ancestors of the Augustus family of the Loen royal family are so rich, they are actually an angel family. But why did the royal family of the Trunsoest dynasty they were loyal to "disappear" like that... Klein thought of several things at once, and he increasingly wanted to clear away the fog that shrouded the history of the Fourth Age and see clearly its ultimate The real look.
This was also the greatest hobby of the original owner of his body.
Perhaps, the underground ruins with two side-by-side seats and a terrifying evil spirit will help me answer a lot of questions... But the place is completely empty, and it's not easy for Pang to visit. If I go again, I will just scare the trouble... Ryan lowered his gaze and turned the diary to the third page.
"On June 2nd, Bernadette helped me beat my back!"
"It's really good to have a daughter. She knows how to care about her old father. Although I can see through what she wants at a glance, at least she is willing to show off and do a good job."
"I asked her which extraordinary path she wanted to take, and she said she hadn't decided yet, but she liked the motto 'Do whatever you want, but do no harm.'"
"On June 3, I met Florent again. He was very different from before. He still had his original memories and some distinctive and iconic characters. This is enough to prove that he is the real person."
"What exactly has he gone through to make such a big change? Perhaps it can be described relatively accurately with a metaphor. Some monsters are physical suture monsters, while he is a spiritual suture monster."
"On June 5th, I got an ancient book, and the name of the 'Original Witch' was mentioned in it, not an honorary name!
"His name is Chic, which is a male name.
"Is this ancient book fake?"
Klein's eyes narrowed slightly: A male's name? He immediately thought of the behavior of the witches and their twisted ways of acting, and came up with a strange idea——
——Could it be that the "original witch" was once a man, so the subsequent witches all need men to play the roles?

Edward's face was expressionless.
The connection he left on Source Castle was completely blocked. Judging from the night sky he saw and the completely severed connection, there was no doubt that the one who took action was the goddess of the night. But at this moment, the relationship between the two of them is constraining each other and they are in a stalemate. It is likely that no one can further influence Origin Castle.
Why does the Goddess of Night know the existence of Source Castle?
Did he know it from the beginning, or did he only notice it because of Klein's existence?
Is it because of Origin Castle that he pays attention to Klein?
"It's really strange... There was no movement before one o'clock in the past fourteen hundred years. In the last eighteen years of the end, all the successors of the Fool Tianzun of Source Castle have appeared. Does Tianzun have procrastination? Like to rush to the death line?"
He murmured to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "Amon said there were at least a hundred cocoons on it, and only four were broken. Tianzun has been dead for so long, and only three people have been left alive so far. What's left? What the hundreds of people want to do, it can’t all be for show.”
"Heiye's power actually followed Origin Castle... Heiye knew what Origin Castle was, so why didn't the other gods react? Heiye was not an adjacent path, so how could he seize the opportunity accurately? Is the uniqueness of the Fool so useful? That’s not right, there’s something wrong with it…”
"There are three other people besides Edward."
"The goddess of the night...is the real...first person?"
The Declined King fell silent. He was silent for a long time, and suddenly he had some understanding, about the annihilation of the demon wolf clan and the fall of Yuantai.
"Who is on the Origin Castle now? Klein? Or the fifth person? Tsk, the heir to the Origin Castle is really troublesome."
"Just think of him as Klein. It's really unexpected... I have established a weak normal connection with Source Castle, so how did Heiye move freely in Source Castle? He can still vaguely suppress me. Could it be that The heir gave him the blessing of mysticism or permission for activities... This is difficult to handle, the night has Antigonus in his hands."
The Outer God said to himself: "After gaining contact with Origin Castle, if He plans to cultivate a 'Fool' himself..."
There was another long silence.
"I'm so hungry..." The demon in the shadow sighed faintly. Then he took out a bottle labeled "Demigod of the Rose School" from the collection cabinet, uncorked it, and put it away under the horrified gaze of the soul inside. He grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth. Chew, chew, swallow, roll your Adam's apple, and roll away the strands of blood that overflowed from the corner of your mouth with the tip of your tongue.
It has been too long since I lost my source of essence, and I have been dragging out my search for opportunities to make up for it on the earth for too long. As my own characteristics increase, my instinct for aggregation becomes stronger and stronger. If my will is not strong enough, I know that it is not necessary. Characteristics will only bring trouble to yourself and make you farther and farther away from your goal. You may have to eat the pollution of the City of Disaster in your hands.
It was afternoon at this time, and the Outer God looked at the sky outside the window. The bright skylight made him feel an extremely rare feeling of "irritability."
I am anxious about not knowing when I can go deep into the abyss, I don’t know when I can find the heir of Origin Castle again, I don’t know when I can find my own essence, and I don’t know when my identity may be exposed. The sudden intervention of the goddess of the night made him slightly passive. Although he changed his path in time, the Declined King was not sure what the night had seen. If you see your true path mark, the planned breakup will probably be brought forward to tomorrow or even the next second.
In this situation where the future is unclear, fortunately, there is one thing that can make him relax a little bit, and that is that a man-made disaster is coming.

Amon was shopping. He walked leisurely and looked around, and suddenly noticed something very interesting.
In the jewelry store on the roadside, the brand-new glass shelves are shining, and the store manager is sorting out the various pieces of jewelry on them. Amon took a fancy to these brand-new bracelets and pendants, and walked into the store curiously.
"Boss, are these the new ones?"
He touched the bracelet he had just hung up and asked, "Shell?"
"Yes, hey, young man, are you here again?"
The store manager, who was over fifty years old, put the box in his hand on the counter. The items inside collided with each other, making a pleasant clattering sound: "They are all new arrivals. If you are interested, you can take a look first."
"good."
Amon smiled and nodded, then turned his attention to the various handicrafts placed on the wall and on the counter in front of him. On the counter were processed ornaments, all of which were small animals made of shells or collages. Hang pictures. Amon was not interested in these, so he took a quick glance and looked away. The ones hanging on the wall were mainly pendants and bracelets. The raw materials were the simplest shells or small smooth conches, which looked relatively cheap. The main color is basically white, and a few have natural colored lines.
Amon picked up a conch pendant with black patterns, about the size of his thumb. He put it to his ear and heard the ethereal and distant voice in it. He turned around and asked the shopkeeper: "How much does this cost?"
The shopkeeper hung a shell wind chime on the wall, looked back, and said with a smile: "This one is 1 sole."
"The price has gone up." Amon said, "Last month it was only 10 pence."
"Yes, it's winter, and the fishermen don't go to sea anymore."
While he was talking, the door behind him was pushed open and another guest came in. A gust of cold wind rushed in through the gap in the door, blowing the wind chimes that had just been hung, making a series of crisp sounds that were different from metal wind chimes.
Amon was attracted by the sound, and he asked in an amused way: "Store manager, are you selling this wind chime? How much does it cost?"
The store manager laughed: "I just hung it up, but it's very expensive, so I bought one to hang in the store myself. It's 5 suler."
"It's a bit expensive." Amon nodded, "Wrap it up for me."
"Okay." The store manager smiled, climbed up the short ladder before he had time to move, and took down the wind chime with a squeak.
Amon watched him carefully hang the wind chime aside, take a cardboard box, fill it with soft stuffing, and then put the shell wind chime in gently. Amon thought for a while and put the small black conch in his hand into the box: "I want this too."
The store manager had a smile on his face. This young man always bought something every time he came and spent a lot of money. He was simply the best customer. So he said, "Is there anything else? I'll give you a 20% discount."
Hearing this, Amon's eyes lit up, and he turned around and continued to search for things he was interested in in the store. Soon, a bracelet with a white "leaf" pendant attracted his attention.
If you look closely, you will see that the veins on this "leaf" are actually naturally formed, cut to look like leaves and feathers. It is about the size of a knuckle in total, and there are many polished beads and shell fragments hanging on the leather rope of the bracelet, which is very delicate. After getting the store manager's permission, Amon touched the "leaf" in the display cabinet with one finger and found that it felt very round and smooth, much like a pearl, but different.
"What's this?"
"That's a clam." The store manager said, "I collected this small piece from the fishermen. Good quality clams have usually been purchased by the Church of Storms. If you like it, I'll sell it to you for 2 suler. "
"Will the Church of Storms really acquire Shell?"
"Yes, the church often purchases large quantities of shells and baroque pearls of good quality to use as amulets. Tridacna is the best among shells. If there are golden lines inside, the price can increase dozens or hundreds of times." The store manager finished cleaning up. Sitting leisurely behind the counter, he chatted with Amon, "Are you a believer in the Storm? As long as you donate a certain amount of money, or you are pious enough, the Church of the Storm will give you an amulet blessed by the Lord of the Storm."
Amon shook his head: "I am not a believer in storms."
"That's the goddess or the god of steam and machinery." The store manager said naturally, and his title revealed his own beliefs. "If you want to buy good quality clams, you have to go to the beach yourself."
"Does this mean this is bad?"
"Haha, how could it be? Although it is indeed leftover material, I like the shape and pattern very much."
While talking, the store manager had already wrapped up the shell wind chime and conch pendant properly. Amon stared at this bracelet of ordinary workmanship but he was very interested in it for a while, and finally decided to buy it: "This bracelet..."
"I'll buy it."
A gentle female voice added out of thin air. It was a lady wearing a black dress, with a beautiful face, long hair hanging down, and a black soft hat on her head. The fine gauze covered her eyes and the bridge of her nose.
She said: "I like it very much. I am willing to buy it for 5 soles. Can you give it to me?"
Amon's thoughts were dazed for a moment, but he didn't realize it.
Are the items you like favored by others? This is very simple, you just need to parasitize the store manager or this lady, or cheat or steal, as long as you can make this thing belong to you in the end. This lady was just an ordinary person. Amon stretched out his hand and pinched his eyes, and said to the store manager: "I like it very much too. I hope to buy it for 8 soles."
"12 sulers." The lady in black followed calmly.
The store manager looked at her, then at him, and said apologetically: "Oh, this... young man, how about you change it?"
As soon as these words came out, Amon naturally understood what the store manager meant. He was slightly unhappy, his eyes stayed on the bracelet for a while, and finally he relaxed: "Okay."
"Why don't you parasitize him?" the lady asked calmly.
Amon didn't feel there was anything wrong with this question at all, and said casually: "Because I only have 8 soura."
"No, you still have a lot of cash on you, and you can steal my money, commit fraud, or parasitize me. You have many ways to get the bracelet."
The lady in black clothes and black hair asked, "Why did you give up?"
Amon had no choice but to explain to her seriously: "Eight soli is the highest price I am willing to pay. Since you are willing to pay higher, it proves that you like it more than me, so I will give it to you."
The lady's eyebrows were raised slightly, and she showed a surprised expression behind the black veil. A hint of intelligence appeared on her beautiful and dull face: "Aren't you going to take it away?"
"No." Amon denied, "It's not that important to me."
“So, what if it’s ‘Origin Castle’?”
"Origin Castle?" Amon was stunned and almost woke up, but he could not resist the power of the dream and answered truthfully, "The fate of the Lord of Mysteries is too heavy, I don't want to bear that."
"But you have a way to get to Source Castle without taking responsibility."
"Really?" Amon asked in confusion. As he spoke, he suddenly saw the gray fog filling his eyes, and a huge space as grand as a temple appeared. He saw the long bronze table and 22 high-backed chairs that he had seen with his own eyes. . He really saw Origin Castle and entered Origin Castle. As long as he thought about it, he could completely control this place.
The lady in black stood beside him like a shadow, her voice sounded distant and near, ethereal: "You come to obtain the position of the Lord of Mysteries, and that person will bear the fate of the Lord of Mysteries. This is best for you. Do you want to?"
Do you want to?
Amon approached the long bronze table and came to the position of "The Fool". He lowered his head slightly and looked at the "divineer" emblem emerging on the high-backed chair. The emblem twisted and transformed in his eyes, turning into a pointer and a shadow. Became a "stealer".
"I……"
He said slowly: "I give you the bracelet of my own free will."
"He gave me Origin Castle and shouldered his fate. Did he do it voluntarily?"
"I don't want to take responsibility. If he is willing to take responsibility, then I will give him Source Castle."
After saying this, there was silence behind him. Amon turned his head and saw the lady in black clothes and black hair looking at him quietly, the corners of her mouth raised, and a smile slowly appeared.

————————
I saw a reader posting on Tieba to complain about my old love, who should have died long ago.
Brother, why are you posting this, discussing the plot setting of this article with a group of people who have never read the book?
If we talk about "the barrier is impossible to penetrate", then how can the quality of human souls be higher than that of gods? It is impossible for the soul to penetrate the angels and the true gods of the past. How can a traveler from another world escape the eyes of the Heavenly God and the Seven Gods? So how can original characters such as Klein Amon Adam and others have worldly feelings? Fans are just wild fantasies. According to your statement, everyone should stop writing them.
He always talks about anti-routine chaos and evil without taking action, but the essence is still a light novel about the character Nanny, but he always starts talking about how he should have died long ago without taking action. Some readers are really fond of Ye Gong.
I'm angry, I want to take leave!
Although I really want to complain. The idea that old love/decline should be damned has only appeared recently, which means it can basically be seen as the emotional catharsis after Klein was killed. The co-author said that some readers did not pay attention to the warning I wrote at the beginning. Here, I didn’t even pay attention to the introduction. Lao Ai didn’t feel interested in killing strangers and characters he didn’t like. He even thought it wasn’t bad enough. When he killed Klein, he started discussing when Lao Ai died.
As for the friend who posted this, I won’t complain if you remember Kaping as the King of Decline and Karen as the King of Decline. First of all, the Lao Ai massacre was in the southern continent, which reduced the losses of the countries and churches in the northern continent. This is important to Aren't the Seven Gods beneficial? How could I kill my old love? I wish I could kill them all so that they could occupy the whole country without spending a single soldier. Tingen 0-08 was tacitly approved by the goddess. This was a deal with Adam. Tingen’s disaster goddess knew it, but that was just a necessary sacrifice. Do you really think the goddess would save people? And the part where you kill Klein and go to Origin Castle is the most outrageous part, as if the plot was imagined by you yourself. When did I say that I always like to use the essence of the body? It was because Klein first established contact with Lao Ai by divination, and then he could go up through Amon, a serious scheming family. Even if all the deceitful souls were used, they could only stay for a short time.
Watching it while jumping?
I think that the invincibility and power of Lao Ai are basically the imagination of some readers. If I take two steps forward, I will worry that someone will pull my leather belt. I still say the same thing, if you don't like it, stop the loss immediately, it will cost you more than ten yuan.
I can’t write anymore, so let’s leave it at that!
