Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 81 The Insect of Time

Derrick, the Sun, realized belatedly, "The Amon clone that appeared in Silver City was sent by Amon's real self, who has existed for thousands of years? What...what is his purpose?"

Derrick immediately felt a tremendous amount of pressure. As far as he knew, not all the elders of the "Six-Man Council" were demigods. Even if Silver City had a god-level seal, it might not be a match for Amon's true form.

"Maybe there is no specific purpose." Odysseus the Hermit replied: "Amon is known as the 'God of Mischief' and is said to be very cunning and spontaneous.

"It's possible that the clone that entered Silver City was just one he casually arranged. The former captain of your exploration team invited him to Silver City, and he followed.

"If he hadn't been invited, perhaps this clone would still be wandering in the 'God-Forsaken Land'."

Klein, the "Fool" behind the gray fog, seemed to be the first to understand the meaning of "Hermit": Because of the changes in their life forms, gods must have different ideas from ordinary people. In ancient times, angels were called subordinate gods. Amon's level is at least that of an angel, and he should also have a long lifespan, and his ideas are very different from those of ordinary people.

For Silver City, the incident of Amon's clone was extremely terrifying and required careful handling, but for Amon, it was just a clone of his "Game of the World".

Klein sighed: This is the difference in levels.

At this point, Derrick immediately asked, "How should we respond?"

Odysseus replied: "Don't take it seriously."

Derrick thought he had misheard: "Don't take it seriously?"

"If Amon's true form were to show interest in Silver City, your Silver City's power would be unstoppable." Odysseus smiled helplessly, "According to some information I've found, Amon is no ordinary angel. I don't know how to describe him specifically, but you just need to know that he's very powerful.

"If Amon himself has no interest in the City of Silver, then you can completely pretend that this incident never happened."

These words made Derrick and other members understand Amon's strength. Alger, the "Hanged Man", couldn't help but sigh: This is the difference in levels. Amon is already powerful enough to easily destroy a city.

"Justice" Audrey and "Magician" Fors felt a little heavy in their hearts. Fors sighed: The power in the extraordinary world is the power that can crush everything!

Klein thought to himself: It feels like 'I can't run away from a big earthquake, but I don't need to run away from a small one.'

After hearing the Hermit's answer, Derrick took a deep breath. "I understand. Thank you for your explanation. It helped me understand the gap between us and Amon."

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at the Fool at the top: If Amon descends upon the City of Silver, perhaps Mr. Fool will have no choice but to ask for his help.

Klein appeared calm and composed behind the gray fog, but he was actually panicking inside: Don't look at me like that! If I pretend not to hear your prayers, my conscience will hurt!
At this moment, Audrey thought of another question: "Is Amon's true body in the 'God-Forsaken Land'?"

"Theoretically, it should be in the 'Forsaken Land of the Gods'," Odysseus replied. "Otherwise, if such a powerful being existed in the northern and southern continents, he should at least be as famous as the evil gods like the 'True Creator' and the 'Hidden Sage'.

"And yet, most Beyonders have never even heard of this name."

Audrey nodded: "This analysis is very reasonable."

Odysseus then said to Derrick, "As for the little bug you got, it should be the 'Worm of Time'."

"The Worm of Time?" It was the first time Derrick heard this name.

Alger suddenly recalled, "I seem to have heard of this name, but it seems to be the name of a potion in a certain sequence of the 'Thief' pathway."

"That's indeed the name of the potion," Odysseus explained. "But from what I understand, it's also the key to how high-level Beyonders of the 'Thief' Path can parasitize others. The main body seems to be using the 'Worm of Time' to control the parasitized puppet."

Odysseus did not intend to explain this information too clearly.

The other members had not yet become demigods and lacked the corresponding knowledge, so they seemed not to understand Odysseus's explanation, but also seemed to understand it.

Derrick asked again, "Mr. Hermit, what are the functions of these 'Time Worms'?"

"I only know that it can be used to make very advanced talismans." Odysseus answered truthfully.

"Thank you for your answer," Derrick said a little embarrassedly. He knew that the information was very advanced and not worth the small reward he paid.

But for a moment, he didn't think of how to thank the "hermit".

After this round of transactions, Alger suddenly felt that, apart from the "Card of Blasphemy", this was probably the most advanced intelligence he had ever received.

Audrey, while marveling at Amon's strength, asked, "Mr. Hermit, why is Amon in the 'God-Forsaken Land'? I mean, with his... no, with his strength, is he also trapped in the 'God-Forsaken Land'?"

Odysseus pondered for a moment before saying, "This involves some of Amon's other high-level intelligence, which requires a trade."

Audrey immediately asked, "What do you need?"

"The complete brain of the pale long-necked beast." Odysseus said to the others, "You can also keep an eye out for me. I can also buy it with gold pounds."

That's one of the main ingredients needed for the "Wizard" potion. Although there's no rush to advance yet, you can buy the main ingredient first. Audrey said, "I'll keep an eye out for you."

Then she asked, "Mr. Hermit, do you know any other advanced intelligence about Amon?"

"While I was searching for intelligence for the Sun, I did learn some advanced intelligence about Amon," Odysseus said. "But that information is of no use to the Sun, so it's not included in this transaction."

The other members all felt it was a pity, but they couldn't say anything. After all, this was a deal between "The Hermit" and "The Sun", and the information released by "The Hermit" was obviously more valuable.

Audrey sensed that the Hermit's movements suggested he was hiding something. Was he concealing the source of his intelligence? Or his original purpose for obtaining it? Or was that intelligence actually useful to the Sun?

Then she thought again: "The Sun" is in a very dangerous situation now, and "The Hermit" obviously wants to help "The Sun", so the information that "The Hermit" has not released should be of no help to the situation in Silver City.

There is nothing to hide about the original intention of obtaining intelligence, so the only thing left to do is to hide the means of obtaining intelligence?
But Audrey couldn't understand why there was anything to hide.
At this time, Alger said to Odysseus, "I know where to find the complete brain of the Pale Long-necked Beast, but I'm at sea now. It will take a few days before I can help you ask whether they have made their move."

Odysseus asked, "How much?"

"700 pounds," Alger said, "and you have to pay me 50 pounds as a reward."

Odysseus nodded: "It's a bit of a premium, but still within an acceptable range.

"If he doesn't sell it, you can buy it for me and then come back to me to complete the deal."

He had made a lot of money from the occult research society before, and now he had more than 3,000 pounds in savings, so he didn't bargain at all.

Alger hummed and said, "Okay."

He thought to himself that the "Hermit" was very rich. He had spent more than two thousand pounds last week and another seven hundred and fifty pounds on parties this week.

After the two of them agreed on the price, Audrey said, "Mr. Hermit, I hope to complete the deal we made last week."

At the last party, Odysseus wanted to buy the recipe of the "Audience" potion from Audrey, but Audrey did not want gold pounds. Instead, she wanted to ask the "Hermit" for knowledge of mysticism.

But last week at the party, Audrey hadn't thought of what to ask, but now she has.

Odysseus nodded: "Okay, ask your questions.

"But I have to remind you that when I bought the potion formula at the last party, the price I offered was 260 pounds. The value of the questions I answered will not exceed this price."

Audrey nodded: "I know."

She cleared her throat and asked, “Mr. Hermit, at the last gathering, you mentioned some unusual occult symbols.

"How did you discover those occult symbols? What are their specific functions?"

Odysseus asked again, "Do you want to listen to it alone, or do you want everyone to listen to it together?"

"Everyone, listen together." Audrey smiled and said, "If you have any knowledge of the occult, you can also express your opinions."

The other members thanked "Justice" or nodded, and looked at "Hermit". When they talked about this issue last time, they were also curious about what uncommon mystical symbols "Hermit" mentioned.

Alger, in particular, had always felt that he was the person with the most knowledge of the occult in the Tarot Club, besides Mr. Fool.

However, the things that the "hermit" had talked about before seemed very unfamiliar to him, so he wanted to find out whether the so-called research direction of the "hermit" was fabricated?

The question of "justice" wasn't very profound. Odysseus organized his words and replied, "I derived those symbols..."

"Derivation?" Audrey thought she had misheard.

Alger also asked, "Can occult symbols be deduced?"

"Why not?" Odysseus smiled and said, "It seems you lack basic knowledge of occult symbols. Let me briefly discuss this issue with you."

He said: "First of all, we need to understand why there are occult symbols?

"We discussed this at our last gathering. Mystical symbols are similar to languages like Giant that can mobilize natural forces, and they are also useful in mobilizing natural forces.

“Languages like Giant and Dragon are different from human languages. Giants and dragons are more like extraordinary creatures born from nature.

"The Beyonder characteristic gives them a high level of spirituality. They can use Beyonder powers according to spiritual guidance and use special pronunciations to mobilize Beyonder powers, thereby completing prayer and response rituals.

"Simply put, human language is used for communication between people, while languages like Giant and Dragon have the ability to communicate with nature and spirits."
