"Reader" Jamil was sitting on a rock facing the sea, playing with several experimental charms in his hands. His expression was normal, but if you look closely, you can see that his legs were shaking slightly, and his eyes were slightly panicked.
Not far behind him, Rawls and the "crouching" stone golem Romit were looking at a pile of seven or eight corpses of Kavitua believers that were gray in color and still maintained their human form. The surface of these corpses
It was dry, and there were pieces of grayish-colored meat falling around it, like clay statues that had been weathered all year round.
"You were right before. They are not Extraordinary. They just obtain extraordinary abilities through a certain method. In a short period of time, they are no different from normal Extraordinary people."
Rawls adjusted the glasses that were sliding up and down the bridge of his nose, raised his head and looked northwest, "Those who were kidnapped, in addition to being sacrificed to Kavitua alive, they also have to relieve Kavitua from their current state or...
If this state is to be prolonged, the former is very likely. After all, among the followers of Kavituwa and the resistance in the Rhoside Islands, there are Extraordinaries of the 'Sailor' path."
"There are very few records about this in church books, but as long as normal humans can use extraordinary abilities, they must have extraordinary characteristics or extraordinary items in their bodies. Only those rare natural spirits can use them even if they do not have extraordinary characteristics.
Extraordinary abilities, but their abilities originate from the spiritual world and are relatively single.
These people all have sea snake tattoos on their bodies. The more tattoos they have, the stronger they are. I don’t know if the sea snake Kavituwa is not that crazy, or if some of its followers study these things. It is indeed the church of the tyrant, even with such abnormality and
No magical things have been discovered!”
At this time, the voice of the stone golem Romit was confident and rational, with a bit of fanaticism. Even though she had a thick layer of blue-gray rock shell, Rawls was a little confused, as if the person in front of him was not a stone body.
A golem, but a mad scientist.
He can be a MT in combat, a scientist in research, and has abundant emotions that are no less than human beings. How did Jamil's mother create such a stone golem? What's more important is that this is just Jamil's "nanny"?
Rawls turned to look at Jamil, who had his back to them. Just now he was very excitedly holding his experimental talisman and preparing to conduct experiments on these Kavitua believers, but before he started, he saw the faces of these believers.
Pieces of gray-colored flesh fell off the body, and even the bones and dry organs inside the body could be seen.
For Jamil, who is not yet fifteen years old and has always been well protected, this was definitely a huge shock. It was good that he didn't cry on the spot.
"There is another corpse here that has not changed. Do you want to study it?"
Pointing to the corpse of Materazzi, the leader of the Kavituwa believers, Rawls sighed. None of these people developed extraordinary characteristics after death.
The stone golem's stubby legs emerged from the ground, and the stone head shook and made a "kacha" sound:
"It's too late. It will end up like this by six o'clock in the evening at the latest."
Too late? Rawls raised his eyebrows. It's twelve o'clock at most. Six hours is not enough? But he doesn't understand, and he doesn't have the basis to study it, so he doesn't ask any more questions. But he thinks of the person who was hypnotized by Romit.
Mikhail, still a little worried, asked:
"Are you sure that Mikhail won't remember what I asked him?"
These abducted people will definitely be interrogated by the Extraordinaries of the Church of Storms after they leave here. In addition to questions about Kavituwa, Rawls will definitely also be asked. As for the stone golems Romit and Jamil, they will definitely be questioned.
Never appeared before them.
"I know the methods of the tyrant's followers." The stone golem replied calmly, with a rather disdainful tone.
Rawls nodded. The person who knows you best is not your friend, but your enemy. The relationship between the Lord of Storms and the God of Knowledge is more complicated. They were once companions, allies, and now enemies...
The stone golem moved its legs, raised its two arms perpendicular to the ground, and placed them on its chest very flexibly. A quiet and peaceful green light melted into Jamil's back, making him feel a little scared and uneasy.
My soul was somewhat comforted.
Jamil turned slightly sideways and looked at Romit behind him, and said with a smile:
"I'm fine."
"Since everything is fine, why don't you still do your experiment?" Rawls looked at Jamil, who was pretending to be tough, and said with a smile.
"Do it. Of course you have to do it after you leave here!" Jamil snorted and gave Rawls a roll of his eyes. "You have become the 'Corrupted Baron'. It's time to go treasure hunting with me, right?"
Rawls thought for a while and pointed in the direction of the Rhoad Islands:
"I still have some things to deal with. I have to go back to the Rhoad Islands first. If things there are over, I can accompany you there."
After becoming the "Corrupted Baron", the next step is to continue to investigate Auston Leavitt, and Sharf also needs to walk around. Although Trunsoest's "Ghost Empire" has more treasures, it is far from the
Russell's treasure is very tempting. Moreover, Alicia should have returned by that time. With a demigod here, you will always be more sure.
Jamil frowned, threw away the charm in his hand, and looked at the stone golem:
"Romit, let's go back to the Rhoside Islands too, right?"
"You just make the decision."
"Then it's settled!"
Rawls shrugged his shoulders. Although it was a troublesome thing, there might be unexpected gains if Jamil and Sharf were put together.
…
At three o'clock, while the striking sound of the wall clock was still echoing, Audrey appeared in the majestic palace in the crimson illusory light, appearing on the side of the ancient long table.
She smiled, stood up and saluted the supreme leader:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~"
After receiving a gentle nod in response, she greeted the "Emperor", "The Hanged Man", "The World", "The Magician" and others respectively, and keenly noticed that "The Sun" seemed a little uneasy.
"What are you worried about?" Audrey asked aloud.
Rawls raised his eyes and looked at "Sun" Derrick. At this time, he had not been parasitized by Amon, but Amon, who was parasitic on his body next door, should have discovered the abnormality and would take action when Derrick returned.
Rawls, who probably knew the process, lowered his head and thought about his future plan. He has now returned to the nearest Cain Island from the Island of Ste with Cemil, and those who were kidnapped were also sitting on three of the Kavitua followers.
The sailing ship has also arrived at Kaiyin Island, but it will take some time for the Church of Storms to react, enough for them to return to Bayam.
After returning to Byam, Luo Yin Jin should take away the "Dream Catcher". In addition to investigating Alston and continuing to track down the Russell treasure, he also has to consider the role of "Corrupted Baron"
.
Leaving aside the suffix "Baron", "corruption" is the focus of the performance, but how to play it?
Derrick "The Sun" did not hide anything. He immediately told the story in detail about how he had successfully "pretended to be sick" and was sent to the bottom of the round tower for isolation treatment. Finally, he asked:
"Dear Mr. Fool, will that magical item find out that I am attending a Tarot session?"
How do I know... I don't even know what it is... However, there is no weird or powerful force trying to invade for the time being... Well, not even the "Eternal Blazing Sun" and the "True Creator" have been able to find it here...
...And the magical item at the bottom of the Silver City Round Tower is at most equivalent to a "0" level sealed object. "0-08" can only interfere with me, but there is no way to interfere here... Maybe the "Emperor" will know more
One thing, the Augustus family must have a "0" level sealed object...
It's just... Klein looked at the "Emperor" who was lost in thought, sighed in his heart, tapped his fingers on the edge of the long bronze table, and answered "relaxedly":
"Normally, it can't be found."
"But some magical items have strange effects."
Seeing Mr. Fool's affirmative answer, Derrick immediately felt relieved. He hummed and said:
"I don't know what special effects it has."
"This is one of Silver City's top secrets."
Having said this, he suddenly remembered what the former captain of the exploration team had said, and blurted out:
"Have you ever heard of Amon?"
Amon Crane thought for a moment and remembered the source of the familiarity.
But he did not rush to answer. Instead, he turned his attention to "The Hanged Man". He knew very well that this middle-level member of the Church of Storms also knew about "Amon", and maybe he knew more about it than he did. As for the "Emperor",
Who knows what he is thinking? Wasn't the lesson learned last time enough? Shouldn't he help me out as soon as possible?
Similarly, "Justice" Audrey also looked at "The Hanged Man". The last time she heard this name, it was from him. "Magician" Forsi listened with a blank look on his face, always feeling that here
The matter discussed is outside the scope of one's knowledge.
When Rawls heard about Amon, he was startled and broke away from thinking about the role of "Corruption Baron". He just thought that "corruption" should refer to the corruption and distortion of order and mind. This is also "corruption".
The embodiment of the main abilities of "Baron".
"It's just speculation, but I wouldn't come up with the name 'Amon' without a reason."
"The Hanged Man" Alger turned his head and looked at "The Sun" and said:
"In the Fourth Age, uh, fifteen hundred years ago in the country we are in, or even longer, there used to be such a family with strange power. They belonged to the Tudor Dynasty, and their surname was Amon."
"Even in that era when there were many high-sequence powerful people, this family's surname was still a taboo."
"Why?" Asked instead of "The Sun" was "Justice" Audrey.
"The Hanged Man" Alger did not answer directly, but said to himself:
"Abraham, Antigonus, Amon, Jacob, and Tamara are the five major families that supported the establishment of the Tudor Dynasty, second only to the Blood Emperor."
"Among them, the Amon family is the most mysterious and has the least history left behind. It seems to have been distorted and covered up by some force."
"There is news from the 'King of the Five Seas' Nast that the Amon family is a blasphemous family, and they hold the secret of stealing the power of the gods!"
"Also, the Amon family claims to be descendants of the ancient sun god."
Forsi sat up straight and thought while listening. Amon, like Abraham and Tamara, were both from the Tudor dynasty. Maybe I could ask Alicia. But it suddenly occurred to her that since Alicia brought that
After the "witches" from the Gnostic Society took her away, they never looked for her.
Let's forget it! Even "The Hanged Man" said that the Amon family is very mysterious, so I'd better not cause trouble...
Derrick Berg was confused for a while. Within the scope of his knowledge of mythology, there was no ancient sun god! He just planned to find a matching god among the known gods. After all, for gods, they have
It's normal to have multiple identities. But before I even started recalling, I heard the voice of Mr. "Emperor".
"Well, the path controlled by the Amon family is the 'Stealer', which is an extremely strange path." Rawls glanced at everyone, and finally stopped at the "World" at the end of the long bronze table. "This path is similar.
The way is 'divineer'..."
His eyes turned to the "magician", "and the 'apprentice'".
Forsi was a little confused. She had not yet joined the Tarot Club when Klein introduced a similar approach. She didn't know what it meant, but she had come into contact with a demigod and she didn't show much surprise. And "The World"
Under the control of the somewhat shocked Klein, he was not too shocked. He just looked at the "Emperor" and behaved as he had known for a long time.
But he also had some doubts in his heart. If there is still a trace of "apprentice", sequence 7 of this path is "astrologer", which is somewhat similar to "divineer", but why is "thief"? Could it be that everyone
A "magician" is also an outstanding "stealer"?
"The 'Stealer' path is extremely terrifying. Once you reach a high sequence, you can steal many incredible things, including time, life, and destiny... This is why the Amon family is called the 'blasphemer family'."
Audrey opened her eyes a little and asked in disbelief:
"Can time and destiny also be stolen?"
With Rawls's nod, everyone present except "The Fool" showed more or less surprise and shock. While being shocked, Klein began to think about whether he could jump to the "Stealer" path in the future.
After all, this kind of power is really incredible... He soon gave up this somewhat unrealistic idea. Not to mention that he was still far away from Sequence 4. Even if he could jump to a path, he would have to have the corresponding magic potion.
Okay, not to mention what if the high-sequence "divineer" is even more powerful?
Rawls suddenly turned his head to look at "The Hanged Man" Alger and raised his chin:
"I need to correct you. The five major families you mentioned are the five major families of the Tudor Empire. Apart from them, there are many families that are no worse than these families."
Audrey, who was born in a noble family, frowned slightly and asked with some confusion:
"The five major families of the Tudor Empire? Are there any countries that stand side by side with the Tudor Empire in the Fourth Age?"
