Chapter 411: Angel
Amon did not leave Chumen Manor until the next day; naturally, the little schemes He had regarding Chumen here were unable to be realized.
But He had already obtained what He needed, such as confirming the location where Bethel would hold the ritual, and confirming that in the struggle for "Sefirah Castle," the teacher would not directly intervene...
"Then isn't this my turn?" A smile bloomed at the corners of Amon's mouth as He stole distance, returned to the woods where He had previously encountered Klein, and then arrived at Milu Manor.
A mouse crawled out from underground, its surface undergoing some changes, becoming the appearance of that mouse Demigod.
"Teacher! I finally found you!" The noble girl Hazel pushed open the door, saw that mouse of roughly the same appearance, and cheered with joy.
With Amon's power, deceiving this noble girl's trust was effortless.
"Mm." Amon nodded lightly, responding in a leisurely manner, preparing to go with the flow and wait for Fate to push Him to a suitable position.
"Let's go home!" Hazel brought a mouse into the city of Backlund and returned to Borklund Street.
When will he come? Amon felt some anticipation.
……
But nothing happened; Klein blinked, then his Spirituality stirred, and he looked up.
Her face was very blurry and could not be seen clearly, but those eyes were like the brightest stars in the dark night, carrying a dense feeling of peace and tranquility.
"Why?" Klein had asked curiously at the time.
"She has never lost, and it will likely be difficult for her to lose in the future." The little baby seemed to know something; Klein guessed it should be related to the previous God War.
This Evernight Goddess was held in high esteem by the "Snake of Mercury."
The light on the altar seemed to have dimmed by a fraction.
It had been a long time since he had so devoutly set up an altar ritual, "It's all because the Dream Sect's rituals are too simple; throwing a gold coin can solve it, and now my skills have grown rusty."
"……I encountered a clone of the 'Time Angel' Amon and wanted to carry out a purge……"
Klein, having finished his conversation with the "Snake of Mercury," had all sorts of thoughts surging in his mind, but this did not affect him setting up the altar.
Klein conveyed all his requests to the Evernight Goddess and waited quietly for a response.
This figure wore a complex black long dress, the dress dotted with countless stars, her pitch-black long hair draped down, hanging to her waist.
On the other side, Klein had consulted Arrodes and the newborn "Snake of Mercury," deciding that praying to the "Evernight Goddess" was more reliable.
"I pray for the power of the Evernight; I pray for the favor of the Hidden……"
Klein finished preparing the altar, lit candles made of night incense grass and Deep Sleep Flower, dripped "Full Moon" essential oil, burned herbal powders to please the deity, and completed the ritual step by step.
Outside the altar, a slightly blurry and dim figure appeared at some unknown time.
Klein asked, but received no answer; the "Snake of Mercury" also seemed a bit afraid and was not very willing to discuss related matters.
"If you can obtain the support of the Evernight, you can walk sideways in Backlund or even Loen." The words of the newborn little baby echoed in Klein's ears.
"The 'Hidden Angel'?!" Klein was shocked beyond words.
In the Evernight Church, besides the nominal Dream Angel, there was also a very special Angel; She did not hold any position in the Church, but existed as an attendant to the Evernight Goddess.
She was more special than the Pope and Arianna, who was the head of the Archbishops, and could enter and leave the "Dark Kingdom" at any time.
She was the "Hidden Angel," the "Goddess's Right Hand," and the "Vice Sovereign of Heaven."
Legend had it that this was an ancient figure from the same era as the "First Pope," the Dream Angel; no one even knew her name anymore, and the years she had spent by the Evernight Goddess's side were impossible to calculate.
"Mm." The "Hidden Angel" nodded slightly, acknowledging her identity.
Klein's expression was complex and indescribable for a moment; he had not expected it to be this person.
The Angels in the Church he knew of should be the Pope and the "Servant of Concealment" Arianna; he had guessed it would be these two who would give him some help, but the appearance of this one likely represented the will of the Goddess.
"So I really have obtained the Goddess's support and can walk sideways in Loen?" Klein recalled the words of the "Snake of Mercury."
"Good morning, Your Grace the 'Hidden' Angel." Klein was silent for a few seconds, then bowed solemnly.
"You may call me Lady 'Hidden'." The tone of the "Hidden Angel" was very peaceful; among the few Angels Klein had witnessed, only the Angel of the Dream Sect could give Klein this feeling.
This Angel's mental state should be quite good, perhaps thanks to the Dream... Klein nodded slightly.
"You want to take action against Amon's clone?" the "Hidden Angel" asked.
"Yes, their existence is a very huge hidden danger to Backlund." Of course, for Klein himself as well.
"You may." The "Hidden Angel" agreed directly, then asked, "State your plan."
"First, I need the protection of the Hidden……" Klein roughly explained the general plan he had discussed with the old man inside Leonard.
"That is not impossible." The "Hidden Angel" evaluated.
"So, do you know where Pallez Zoroast is?" But the "Hidden Angel's" next sentence made Klein suddenly feel a chill.
"……Yes." Klein bit the bullet and said, but at this time he could not betray his teammate; he wondered if he could muddle through……
But unexpectedly, the "Hidden Angel" did not ask more about this "Worm of Time."
"Before you carry out your action, you can summon me through this badge, and I will provide corresponding help." The "Hidden Angel" handed Klein a Night Badge.
Klein received it with a solemn expression.
"You are quite good; if you can succeed in the hunt, perhaps I can give you an opportunity." The "Hidden Angel" looked at Klein and suddenly said this sentence.
"……" Klein blinked, not knowing how to respond, feeling quite flattered.
"I have the formula and materials for 'Ancient Scholar' here." The "Hidden Angel" seemed to smile.
Klein felt he shouldn't have been seeing things; She indeed smiled, and threw out a bait that Klein could not refuse.
The next instant, the figure of this Angel gradually dimmed, until it was erased by an eraser.
"Phew!" Klein let out a heavy sigh of relief; he returned to the armchair and sat down, still feeling lingering fear from facing this "Hidden Angel."
"As expected of an Angel attending the Goddess, the feeling She gives is very…… it puts more pressure on me than Pope Hermes."
"However, 'Diviner' Sequence 3 'Ancient Scholar'……" This was a temptation Klein could not refuse.
