Mystery: My Encounters with the Celestial God

Chapter 385 Adam: He's calling me Dad, what can I do? (3.4K)

Although the special ability has been temporarily assigned to Amon, it doesn't mean Ron is unprepared.

Taking away the uniqueness can prevent some uncontrollable situations from happening. As for sending Amon to work illegally, there was no other reason; it was just something Ron thought would be fun.

Anyway, the factory is short-handed, and this guy is worth a hundred or a thousand people, so why not use him?

To say that this guy could understand anything or develop any compassion in this situation would be laughable to Ron.

Amon's magnanimity in not stealing the workers' wages and causing himself trouble is evident.

After arranging everything, the blond boy sat down on the sofa as usual.

He leaned back and slumped into his assigned seat, picked up a magazine and newspaper, and began to read them with a rather bored expression.

At this moment, Time Angel, who had already absorbed the memories of the first clone, also came to the sofa and slumped down there without any regard for appearances.

"Why didn't you forcibly strip that stupid guy with the aura of the Source Castle of it? Instead, you're protecting him. You're being way too biased..."

"You know, you're still considered mine to some extent..."

At this point, Amon's face twitched, and he ultimately gave up on his attempt to get closer to the person, failing to utter the word "godfather."

Although he is despicable and shameless, he is not shameless to this extent.

It takes "courage" and "daring" to recognize a thief as one's father.

Upon hearing this, Ron looked up in confusion:

"What's wrong?"

"Want the Source Castle? Then go ahead and go. I've never stopped you, or rather, I've only stopped you from forcibly taking it."

"If that poor bastard really hands over Source Castle to you willingly, then I have nothing to say. It's a matter between the two of you..."

That's utter nonsense. It's like saying nothing at all. How could Yuanbao possibly be willingly handed over to me...?

With a helpless roll of his eyes, Shi Tianshi pulled out a monocle from his pocket and put it on his right eye.

"What? You don't believe me? Aren't you the god of deception? Is this all you've got?"

The blond boy raised his head, grinned, and sneered loudly.

"At least I can think of a voluntary solution."

"You can transform into a woman, become more attractive, and stay by that guy's side. In the end, you can tell him you have a disease that will kill you without the Source Castle, and he will most likely hand over the Source Essence without hesitation."

"It's a low probability event, so they'll likely try to revive you afterward."

???

Resurrect, my

That's enough, stop thinking about it!

Upon hearing this, the angel froze on the spot, his body trembling almost imperceptibly, as if he had already imagined the scene of the overgrown grass.

Who among us really needs reform, and who's heartless? I may have a lot of schemes and tricks up my sleeve, but I'm not so shameless as to be this despicable!

A thousand thoughts flashed through his mind, yet his eyes, behind the monocle, revealed a deep sincerity and gratitude.

After hesitating for a moment, Shi Tianshi solemnly expressed his gratitude:

"Really, thank you for not using those methods on me!"

The blond boy's delicate face suddenly darkened.

What is this kind of method? This is wisdom, this is strategy.

"If you can't use adjectives, you don't have to. Get lost!"

After finishing his conversation with Amon, Ron returned to his bedroom and took out a silver-white cross pendant from his pocket.

I think we need to have a serious talk.

The silver pendant flashed with light, signifying that the message had been successfully sent.

The father is to blame for the son's misbehavior. Roselle was right. Amun's various actions were certainly related to this ancient sun god who was divided into two parts.

Buzz!

Just a few seconds after the message was sent, the silver pendant vibrated, reminding Ron in a very thoughtful way to receive the new message.

"Tch... such a quick reply, looks like they were prepared..."

Endless Wisdom muttered something under his breath. He had just opened the pendant when everything went black.

"Imaginary Angel" only replied with nine large characters:

He suddenly knelt down and called me Father…

As expected of the Angel King from the audience's perspective, he conveyed the heartache and helplessness of a father with just nine words.

The word "suddenly," in particular, perfectly captures the old father's surprise and shock.

He has already accepted me as his father, what can I do? Shouldn't I offer some help?

So, this is how you get help?

Frankly speaking, even with Ron's extraordinary wisdom, he could not have imagined such a scene of fatherly love and filial piety.

At that moment, both ends of the silver pendant fell silent, and neither of them spoke again.

Silver City, at the base of the round tower.

"Lovia, you should know what happened forty-two years ago. We cannot guarantee that everything you say is true."

"Therefore, you must undergo testing and quarantine. This is not only to protect Silver City, but also to protect you."

Colin Iliad, the chief of the six-person council, looked at the members of the exploration team who had originally been exploring the temple but had returned halfway, his eyes revealing a dark green symbol.

"Yes, this is a necessary check, and I won't object. However, I can confirm that there is nothing unusual about these team members."

"Shepherd" Lovia remained silent for a while, not objecting to Silver City's countermeasures, but rather cooperating quite well.

"Why? Is it because of the miracle you witnessed? If He truly is the Lord, then why doesn't He respond to the priests of Silver City?"

In this eerie, dark place, anything can happen, and even encountering a seemingly rational being with whom you can communicate does not guarantee complete safety.

For example, there was Amon 42 years ago, and there was also the mysterious person who supposedly helped the exploration team deal with Amon.

As the chief of the Council of Six, Colin Iliad did not blindly trust the intelligence brought back by his fellow elders of the Council of Six.

"That is the authority of the Lord, exactly as recorded in the Silver City. That's the only thing I can confirm, and at the same time, I can confirm that what I encountered was not a dream or an illusion."

"At that moment, I could feel everything the evil spirit I was herding was experiencing; it was afraid, it was terrified, it didn't even dare to show the slightest breath."

"In short, we can all accept Silver City's supervision, but this could very well be our chance to leave and be saved."

The shepherd elder, with his silver-gray hair that curled slightly at the ends, shook his head, offering only his opinion as the person involved, before turning his head and walking toward the open dungeon iron door.

With a loud bang, the iron gate slammed shut.

At that moment, a figure draped in a cloak, whose features were obscured, emerged from the nearby shadows. As soon as he appeared, he hurried to Colin Iliad's side and asked with considerable concern:

"Chief, Elder Lovia..."

"Whether it's me or the divine-level sealed artifact of Silver City, the answer is always the same: there's no problem, but necessary observation is essential."

"That's good. It's good that Elder Lovia is alright."

Upon hearing the chief's assessment, the shadowy figure first breathed a sigh of relief, then raised his head and took out an object reflecting the candlelight from his shadow cloak.

"Your Excellency, this was found among the items brought back by these exploration team members. I don't know what it is, but it's unusual enough."

"Our tests revealed it to be harmless, and it doesn't contain blood. It smells like the wine described in mythological texts—the wine favored by the Giant King!"

Shadow's tone was one of surprise and curiosity, because there was no normal food in the dark place.

Not to mention the exquisitely packaged container with obvious signs of artificiality.

"Wine!? Are you sure!?"

"The Demon Hunter" Colin Iliad was also taken aback, not expecting the anomaly found during the search to be so peculiar and ordinary.

In his view, whatever the purpose of the mysterious person Lovia encountered, they certainly wouldn't go to such lengths to do something meaningless.

There must be some undetectable anomaly or hint in this.

"Have you found out how that exploration team member obtained the wine?"

After a moment of contemplation, Colin Iliad asked in a deep voice.

"I found out that the boy named Derrick Berg said he brought him out of a dream."

"Your Excellency, he's definitely lying. It's obvious at a glance. He's treating us like idiots!"

"."

Your hint is worse than saying nothing at all.

Colin Iliad was speechless again; he had never seen such a frank lie in his life.

"Wait a minute, let's see what else you've discovered?"

After a long silence, the "Demon Hunter" let out a silent sigh.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Elder Lovia's crystal ball seems to have changed. It's no longer just glowing; it appears to have transformed into a powerful sealing artifact!"

"It can create a portal. We've tested it with some inanimate objects, and the portal it created can transport items from one end of Silver City to the other. As for the maximum distance, we don't know."

"This kind of teleportation doesn't rely on the legendary spirit world; it's more like a kind of overlap of real-world coordinates."

"Besides this, the crystal ball contains all sorts of knowledge, mainly healing potions, potions to enhance physical strength and endurance, and potions to soothe the mind."

At this point, the dark figure shook its head and said in a very regretful tone:

"Based on the recipe, we compared it with the materials library in Silver City and found that many materials were missing, most of which were plant-based."

"However, there are some monster-related materials that are missing. For example, there is a potion that can greatly enhance a man's combat power, stamina, and explosive power. Its main ingredient is a powder called mummy."

"But we've gone through all the information, and we still don't know what a mummy is."

"That's what you call a rare commodity that's worth hoarding!"

"No one else has this technology except us!"

On Wednesday morning, Ron, accompanied by Audrey Hall whom he had already arranged to meet, strolled along Backlund's busiest commercial street.

He talked about his business philosophy while licking his ice cream cone, living a very comfortable life.

"Audrey, as our largest distributor, I sincerely invite you to visit our factory!"

"To be honest, I don't really care about this part of the profits. By the way, do you know any senior executives at Dongbailang Import & Export Company or Gaodi Import & Export Company?"

Ron numbly looked up at the noble lady with a smile on her face and a large golden retriever following behind her.

"What's wrong, Mr. Ron? Are you considering partnering with them as well?"

No, I just want to get rid of them so I can take over these companies.

The blond boy pursed his lips, thinking to himself with a touch of melancholy.

The business these two companies are doing is the same business that Ron Sothos did in Ruen.

Acquire rare items or resources at extremely low prices, transport them back to the Northern Continent, and earn extremely high profits.

What the other party did was practically the same as stealing Ron Sothos's wealth; it was tantamount to courting death!

Audrey Hall pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and then leisurely said:

"Mr. Ron, the headquarters of Highland Import & Export Company is in Intis, Trier. I don't know much about it."

"The actual controller of the East Bayron Import & Export Company is the current Duke of Negan, who reportedly employs a number of security personnel to facilitate trade."

At this point, Audrey leaned down and whispered in Ron's ear:

"They must be 'security personnel' with extraordinary abilities. This is what Susie overheard when she eavesdropped on my father's conversation."
