Hobert's first thought was: even someone as strong as Amon needs to use humanity to fight divinity!
Amon is inherently unique, and theoretically, the divinity within him must be greater than his humanity.
Perhaps that's why he might need some humanity to maintain balance.
Hobert even felt that Amon's love for pranks might be his way of trying to show his human side.
Merely playing pranks might not be enough; even if he doesn't have emotions, he should 'deceive' himself to generate certain feelings, thereby stimulating his emotions and enlivening his spirituality.
Next, Hobert considered whether to hunt Amon's avatar.
Hobert's first thought was that he didn't want to get involved in this matter. He was currently preparing to accept Jonathan and the members of the Theosophy Order to strengthen his power, and he didn't have time to provoke Amon.
The key is that this matter is difficult to control. Given Amon's arrangements for his avatars, he will eventually find out who hunted his avatar.
Encountering an avatar at Sequence 3 or Sequence 4 would be fine, but the thought of encountering a Sequence 2 avatar coming to capture him is terrifying.
Hobert guessed that the Amon avatar at Tony Manor should be a Sequence 2 because he recalled sensing a gaze from Bayam when he covered Klein's departure from Bayam earlier.
Thinking about it now, the owner of that gaze seemed to be at the level of an angel.
So Hobert was inclined to rescue Rafter and leave Bayam with him.
But then Hobert realized a problem: the Messenger seemed overly enthusiastic about hunting Amon.
In Hobert's memory, the Messenger was someone who always stayed out of things. The key was that she didn't ask for donuts this time, which made Hobert a little uneasy.
But then Hobert figured out the problem: it might be because the Messenger's last name was Tudor!
Regardless of her current state or past experiences, she, or rather She, was an important member of the Tudor family.
Hobert even suspected that She was a close relative of the Blood Emperor; otherwise, She wouldn't have had the opportunity to become an angel in that era.
And precisely because he was a close relative of the Blood Emperor, even if he wanted to seduce Amon, it could be arranged.
Then this issue had to be reconsidered because Hobert realized that this was a good opportunity to subdue the Tudor family.
If he could play a significant role in this event, even if he couldn't completely subdue the Tony family, he could get a lot of support from this family in the future.
So the question now is whether such benefits are worth the risks that will arise.
This made Hobert think of the barrier that the 'Order Crystal' can now form. If he were facing Amon's main body, Hobert would simply surrender. He estimated that the barrier formed by the 'Order Crystal' couldn't stop Amon's main body's abilities.
But an avatar is different. Hobert believed that using the 'Disorder Crystal' was enough to buy himself a few seconds to save himself or call for help.
Although the risk was still not small, it was just like the question Hobert had previously envisioned: there are risks in doing anything!
Some opportunities may never come again if missed, such as helping the Tony family get rid of Amon's control. Helping now can save some people; helping later... it is estimated that the family will be completely lost, and there will be nothing to help with.
Hobert estimated for a while, and finally made up his mind: I'm not even afraid of the Demoness Sect, why would I be afraid of Amon's avatar! Let's do it!
After making up his mind, Hobert returned to the real world and summoned the Messenger again: "It's okay for me to help hunt Amon's avatar, but after this action, you need to fight for me three times."
The Messenger was silent for a few seconds before saying: "If I help you deal with angel-level opponents, I need you to provide me with wooden sticks like your staff. Only with such blessings can I temporarily restore my best state."
Hobert nodded: "No problem, I can give you a 'Order Wood' for this hunt, but remember to return the used 'Order Wood' to me. This needs to be recycled."
Then he asked: "Can the barrier formed by the 'Order Crystal' really completely block the power of Amon's avatar?"
This is very important.
"Yes." The Messenger said firmly: "Amon's avatar's divinity is not very strong, so the avatar can't control many authorities! Amon's main body won't give some authorities to his avatar either."
Hobert slowly nodded: That is to say, this is a matter of Sequence. Because the divinity is weak, the avatar's Sequence is low, so there is nothing to do with the power of the "Order Crystal." If you encounter Amon's main body, the Sequence is sufficient, although the "Order Crystal" has the power of a Sefirah, Amon will definitely be able to find loopholes.
After confirming this again, Hobert asked: "How can I notify you of the best time to take action in a short time?"
"We can establish a spiritual contract." The Messenger said: "That way, you only need to recite a spell to summon me to the real world."
If it was when he first met this Messenger, Hobert would never establish such a private contract, because it meant that the Messenger could also find Hobert's location at any time.
But now that he has established basic mutual trust and knows each other well, Hobert is not opposed to such a contract.
So he immediately handwritten a contract, first stipulating that the summoning spell was the ancient Hermes word for "Messenger."
Then he stated that even if he knew Hobert's location, the Messenger could not tell others or other creatures, nor could he harm Hobert or peep at him, and then they signed their names separately.
Still with the spirit world as a witness, when the contract was swallowed by the dark green flames, it meant that the contract began to take effect.
Hobert came to the "Nation of Disorder" again and began to prepare. This time he chose the first-level Sealed Artifacts "1-107" and "1-109". The reason was simple: he was afraid that "1-101" of the "Theft" pathway would suddenly betray him.
Then he spread his spirituality to the star representing Rafter. At the same time, he noticed that when Medici's evil spirit possessed Rafter before, there was a red line on his star, but when Rafter was "parasitized", there was nothing unusual about the star.
Hobert glanced at the real world through the stars. There was a figure wearing a black classical robe, a matching pointed soft hat, black curly hair, black eyes, a wide forehead, and a thin face, with limbs like octopus tentacles wrapped around Rafter.
Seeing that iconic monocle, Hobert was a little hesitant.
Then he realized that this was because his previous impression of Amon was too strong, and he always felt that the monocle was like a nightmare that could not be dispelled.
But thinking about it carefully, compared to existences like the Messenger, Amon's avatar is not scary. Although the ability is a bit weird, it is not invincible.
Amon's avatar seemed to sense something and looked towards the air.
After suppressing his psychological shadow, Hobert temporarily withdrew his spirituality and looked at the fruit-like Sealed Artifact he got from Christian.
Bringing this Sealed Artifact to the real world as well, Hobert prepared the altar and placed a cup of fine sand in front of the altar, and then prayed to the Evernight Goddess: "Evernight Goddess who stands higher than the cosmos, more eternal than eternity…
"Your devout believer begs for your attention;
"I found an Amon avatar that may be at Sequence 2 level and is organizing forces to hunt it down. Please grant me the power of concealment!
"If the hunt is successful, I will offer you six 'Worms of Time'."
After the prayer was finished, the surging sense of tranquility that made people sleepy descended around the altar. Hobert seemed to see twinkling starlight above the altar.
Then a pure darkness descended on the altar, covering the fruit-shaped Sealed Artifact placed in the center of the altar.
A second or two later, the pure darkness disappeared, and Hobert found that the fruit on the altar had grown about three times larger!
Fine sand floated out of the cup and turned into letters on the altar, eventually forming a sentence: Only fifteen minutes of effect.
That's enough!
After Hobert thanked the "Evernight Goddess", the magical starlight flickering above the altar disappeared, and the surging power of tranquility also disappeared.
He picked up the fruit on the altar and named this Sealed Artifact that had been strengthened by the "Evernight Goddess": "Fruit of Concealment."
After making all the preparations, Hobert came to the "Nation of Disorder" again, and then said to Rafter in the image and tone of the "Creator": "Keep praying."
...
Bayam, Tony Manor.
After writing the letter to the "Favored," Rafter rubbed his hands together, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the "Favored." To him, a Grade 1 Sealed Artifact was an extremely precious item. Since he had encountered one, he naturally wanted to find a way to snatch it if circumstances allowed.
Even if he wasn't qualified to use it himself after stealing it, he believed the "Favored" would give him plenty of benefits.
Just half an hour after the letter was sent, his vision was suddenly filled with a tall and solid figure. When he saw the sacred black light, Rafter immediately realized it was the "Creator."
Could it be that this Sealed Artifact had attracted the attention of the "Creator"? Rafter didn't dare to look directly at the "Creator," so he quickly lowered his head. Just as he was about to kneel on one knee, he heard the "Creator's" command.
Although he didn't understand the "Creator's" intention, Rafter immediately obeyed the command and began to pray incessantly to the "Creator."
Soon, Rafter, who was bowing his head in prayer, felt as if a surge of powerful energy was descending upon him. Then, he seemed to sense something tugging at his spirit body.
Rafter didn't waver and continued to pray earnestly. He firmly believed that under the gaze of the "Creator," he would not be in any danger.
A few seconds later, Rafter felt his whole body lighten, as if his spirit body had shed some burden.
This made him realize, had he been possessed again?
Just as he was about to thank the "Creator," Rafter began to cough violently, gasping for breath. Finally, he spat out a worm the size of a thumb.
It had twelve transparent segments on its body, but it was now dead, lying stiffly in Rafter's palm.
Just as Rafter was surprised, a scene suddenly appeared in his mind: That, that's me!
Rafter quickly distinguished that the person in the scene, entangled by a phantom figure, was himself!
Rafter realized: Was I really possessed by an evil spirit again?
Immediately afterward, he saw the phantom figure reaching into the air, which made him immediately realize that his prayer seemed to have established a close connection with the "Creator," and that the figure was grabbing at the "Creator"?
Just then, Rafter saw the "Creator" take action. The figure on his body seemed to suddenly become distorted, and then was dragged down from Rafter's body by a huge force.
The "Creator" reached out again, and the figure seemed to be crushed by a huge force.
Rafter sighed: Fortunately, I completely surrendered to the "Creator" before, otherwise I might have lost myself unknowingly.
This made him sigh again: He really made the right bet in Backlund.
Just then, his spirituality stirred, and he saw the space in front of him become illusory. The "Favored," Hobert, emerged from within: "Give me this worm."
Rafter immediately reacted: "Yes, yes, yes."
Hobert was still wearing a mask and a Feynapotter-style trench coat.
He looked like he hadn't changed much from a few months ago, but Rafter's spirituality could confirm that the "Favored"' temperament had undergone a considerable change.
Rafter waited for the "Favored" to put the worm away before asking respectfully: "Fortunately, I wrote you a letter to report. Was I possessed again just now?"
"No, it was 'parasitized'." Hobert briefly explained, then asked: "Are you sure the Tony family is a branch of the Tudor family?"
"I'm sure!" Rafter said: "When I first came to the manor, I found that I looked very similar to the patriarch of the Tony family. Later, I realized that it was because our appearances were inherited from the great Blood Emperor."
Hobert nodded again: "Take me to see the patriarch of the Tony family."
He paused and added: "This manor is very dangerous now. Don't leave my side."
"Yes, yes, yes." Rafter quickly moved a few steps closer, then he thought: "But now outside, the outside is shrouded in the power of the Sealed Artifact."
"Just follow me closely." Hobert strode out in front.
Rafter quickly followed. He was still very nervous until he reached the gate, but the "Favored" in front had already stepped out and stretched out a hand. A huge "distorted" force caused the power that wanted to steal their thoughts to ignore the existence of the two people.
Because Rafter was a "Briber," he could clearly feel that the power the "Favored" had just displayed was indeed the power of "Distortion."
He didn't expect that the problem that had plagued him for two or three months would be easily solved by the "Favored."
Under the light of the gas lamps, the huge manor looked very magnificent, but because there was no one there, the magnificence carried a hint of eeriness.
Hobert glanced at the gas lamp. In the firelight, there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at him, the person who had broken the rules of the manor.
He looked away from the gas lamp and walked ahead, asking: "Is the Tony family mainly composed of Beyonders from the 'Lawyer' pathway or the 'Arbiter' pathway?"
"As far as I know, it's the 'Hunter' pathway and the 'Lawyer' pathway."
"'Hunter' pathway?" This made Hobert slightly stunned.
"That's right."
Hobert immediately thought that Blood Emperor Tudor had served as a "Red Priest" for a period of time, and many Beyonder characteristics of the "Hunter" pathway must have approached Him.
It was normal for the Tudor family to accumulate a certain amount of "Hunter" pathway Beyonder characteristics.
Rafter added: "However, they also have Beyonders from another pathway. Perhaps because of my lack of knowledge, I can't distinguish what pathway those Beyonders belong to."
Hobert used another "Disorder" towards the front to continue to make the perception of that Sealed Artifact malfunction: "Describe their abilities in detail."
Rafter described: "Some of them are very insidious and can always make people fall into their traps unconsciously."
Hobert nodded: "Maybe they are Conspirers."
This also made sense. At that time, Amon had supported Tudor in becoming the Blood Emperor, and the messenger lying in the coffin had also flirted with Amon. The Tudor family did indeed have a high probability of obtaining a portion of the Beyonder characteristics of the "Marauder" pathway.
Moreover, the Solomon Empire, the opponent of the Tudor Empire, also had a great noble from the "Marauder" pathway, and it was also possible to obtain a portion of the Beyonder characteristics of the "Marauder" pathway in battle.
Rafter continued to describe: "Some of them can bewitch enemies into becoming their teammates."
Hobert was stunned: "'Spectator' pathway?"
"They can even make close teammates turn against each other."
Hobert slowly nodded: "Sounds like the ability of the 'Spectator' pathway!"
Could this be some of the Beyonder characteristics obtained from Adam back then? Then the Beyonder pathways of this Tony family are very complicated!
"Some seem to use a certain desire of the target to make the opponent crazy and obedient to his orders."
Hobert was stunned: What pathway does this Beyonder seem like? "Criminal"? "Mystery Pryer"? "Spectator"? It doesn't seem very fitting.
At this time, Hobert suddenly stopped and looked at the wall in front: "Your reaction is too slow."
In the faint moonlight, a figure was outlined on the wall: "This Sealed Artifact was not originally intended to deal with demigods."
Hobert guessed that the other party should be a "Earl of the Fallen." At the same time, he realized that the other party had just used "Tampering" with the light to hide his tracks.
Although this method cannot achieve the effect of invisibility, it can basically hide oneself or produce illusions in places where the visibility is not very good.
The figure on the wall said: "You can completely visit the Tony Manor during the day."
He did not feel Hobert's malice.
"Originally, I planned to leave after rescuing my people," Hobert said: "But someone asked me to come and see if you can still be saved."
The person on the wall looked at Hobert for a few seconds without speaking. At this time, Rafter took the opportunity to say: "This is Master Tony, the patriarch of the Tony family."
Master Tony, who had scarlet hair, a mustache, and black pupils, said: "Come with me."
If Hobert was a Sequence 5, then this Master Tony would not care whether he was entrusted by someone or not, and would have rushed up to capture him.
But when a demigod says that he is entrusted by someone, Master Tony has to take it seriously.
Hobert and Rafter jumped onto the courtyard wall and followed Master Tony to a large courtyard.
This courtyard looked magnificent, but the arrangement of trees and buildings made people feel a little uncomfortable, as if it was arranged to be contrary to common sense.
Rafter quickly recognized that this was Master Tony's courtyard, and he had been here when he joined the job.
When they arrived at the hall, although it was brightly lit, there were no servants.
This Master Tony in his forties introduced himself: "Osment."
Hobert also briefly introduced himself: "Jeffrey."
Osment gestured, "Please sit," and said, "So, Mr. Jeffrey, who commissioned you, and where do we need rescuing from?"
Hobert did not sit down but looked at Osment: "Have you heard of Amon?"
Osment was visibly surprised. He looked around, and only after confirming that there were no servants nearby did he say, "Saying it so openly will alert the other party!"
His reaction didn't mean he knew Amon very well. He had only heard that Amon was a 'High Sequence' Beyonder of the 'Marauder' pathway, and he didn't know how powerful Amon was specifically, nor did he know all of Amon's abilities.
Osment was surprised because he heard Hobert say Amon's name. He combined this "High Sequence Beyonder of the 'Marauder' pathway" with his previous guesses and felt that what Hobert said should be very close to the truth.
Hobert smiled and said, "You've already noticed something, haven't you?"
"Of course!" Osment took two steps forward and whispered, "Many family members and servants have become a little strange. Only a fool wouldn't know they have a problem."
This was also why Hobert directly looked for the person in charge of the manor. The difficulty of "parasitizing" a demigod and "parasitizing" Beyonders below demigod level were completely different.
If a demigod was "parasitized" by a "Worm of Time," although he would forget the process of being "parasitized," the constant warning of his spirituality would definitely make him act strangely.
So Hobert judged that this Master Tony either had noticed that the people around him were strange, or he could distinguish whether he was "parasitized," or whether he had been replaced by Amon's avatar. In short, as long as he found him, either they would fight, or they would have an extra helper.
Rafter, who was behind them, didn't quite understand the content of their conversation: Wasn't the biggest problem of the Tony Manor the worship of evil gods? Why did it sound like there was an even more serious problem?
Hobert tightly gripped his cane, carefully observing Osment: "The other party should have noticed."
He pointed to the person behind him: "The problem of him being 'parasitized' has been solved. This process will definitely make the other party aware of something wrong."
Osment was slightly stunned: "You can solve the problem of being 'parasitized'?"
Hobert deliberately spoke vaguely: "It's not me who solved the problem."
Osment re-examined the young man wearing the mask: "May I ask, who entrusted you to help us?"
Hobert smiled and said, "I can only tell you that person's surname is Tudor."
Rafter behind him was stunned: I didn't make such a request. Could it be, could it be another family member?
Osment's trust in Hobert immediately increased a lot: "Can the two of us working together solve this problem?"
Hobert felt that Osment should be fine, because if he was "parasitized" or he was Amon's avatar, he wouldn't say such stupid things.
"I brought strong reinforcements." Hobert said, "How many demigods are there in the Tony family?"
"There are currently two in the manor," Osment replied. Of course, this kind of key information had to be told truthfully.
Hobert basically ruled out Osment's suspicion: "Please wait a moment."
Only after initially ruling out suspicion would he do the final confirmation, in case Amon's avatar suddenly launched an attack when entering the "Nation of Disorder."
He then sat down, placing himself within the black barrier of the "Order Crystal," and then lowered his head as if in prayer.
Osment took a step back, carefully observing every move of this "Mr. Jeffrey."
Rafter guessed that the "Favored" should be praying to the "Creator."
Hobert entered the "Nation of Disorder" and used "True Vision" to confirm that Osment was indeed not an Amon avatar, nor had he been "parasitized," before returning to the real world and dispelling the protection of the "Barrier": "Please take me to see the other demigod."
"Alright," Osment said, "This way, please."
They went out through the side door of the courtyard. Osment, who was leading the way, asked, "If the other party notices our actions, wouldn't we be very passive?"
"To be honest," Hobert said, "I really hope the other party will take the initiative to attack. He's an expert at playing hide-and-seek!"
If the other party sensed danger and left on their own initiative, that would truly be the "Fool" watching from above, saving them the risky move.
Hobert estimated that Amon's avatar should still be watching, so he wouldn't act rashly for the time being.
Because it was the "Creator" who killed the "Worm of Time" in Rafter's body just now, with the cover of the "Nation of Disorder," Hobert estimated that the other party didn't get too much information about him at all.
Nor would he call more of his avatars over. It was simple, there might be danger here. Would he call other avatars over to be a burden when he escaped? Or to make the enemy's spoils of war richer?
Just as he went out the door, Hobert looked at the gas lamp again. This time his feeling was more real. There seemed to be a pair of eyes really looking at him from inside the gas lamp.
Whoosh~
Suddenly, the flame of the gas lamp became intense.
Bang~
The glass of the gas lamp shattered, and the flame "flowed out" of the lamp, forming a human figure.
This change made the three of them slightly stunned. Then Osment knelt on one knee: "Your Highness Raymond, I didn't expect that the events in the manor would also disturb you?"
Rafter took a step back in surprise.
Hobert immediately realized that this "Fire Man," who was called "His Highness Raymond," was likely an angel in poor condition.
In a previous chat with Angus, Hobert had heard Angus say that, according to the elders of the Tudor family, there was still an angel who had survived.
At first, Hobert thought they were talking about the Messenger, until he saw this "Fire Man" he realized that the Messenger "lived" in a coffin, and he didn't know if he had died once before.
If he had died once in front of the world, the Messenger would not be passed down by word of mouth.
In addition, Osment kneeling and calling him "Your Highness" indirectly proved Hobert's guess.
This "His Highness Raymond," whose appearance and characteristics could not be seen clearly, with a face composed of flames, said to Hobert: "I sensed Beverly's aura on you. Has she, has she been resurrected?"
Hobert's exclusive Messenger was named Beverly Heather Tudor.
Hobert said, "According to my observation, no."
"I witnessed the entire process of her death and was very grieved to bury her." The not-very-three-dimensional facial features composed of flames made a happy expression: "She didn't die, that's just great!"
"I can't explain her state either," Hobert explained. "She is now more like a spirit world creature."
"This may be the way Amon said to help Beverly deceive death." Raymond said, "Beverly had said long ago that angels are very fragile in the 'War of the Four Emperors'.
"So she had been preparing in advance. After her death, the Beyonder characteristics have not been extracted. I should have thought that this must be some of her preparation that worked."
Hobert listened quietly, hoping that Raymond would say more about the details of what happened back then.
Through Raymond's words just now, Hobert felt that the relationship between Amon and Beverly was not just a matter of bedfellows. At least Amon, who was very bastard in the eyes of others, had also helped Beverly deceive death.
It was just that Raymond didn't continue that topic but asked Hobert, "Have you found Amon's avatar?"
Hobert was stunned: "You know that the manor has been invaded by Amon's avatar?"
"Of course, I know," Raymond said. "It's just that my condition is not very good, and I'm not sure I can drive that avatar away."
He said, "But if Beverly helps, we can try to hunt this avatar."
Hobert smiled: You also want to hunt Amon's avatar? Hehe, from this point, it can be seen that you and the Messenger are a family.
He asked, "Do you know where Amon's avatar is?"
"I don't know. He should have stolen someone's fate and disguised himself as a member of the clan," Raymond said. "Unless I meet him face to face, it's difficult for me to distinguish him."
Hobert said, "Then we are responsible for finding him, and you also join the hunt, how about that? But when dividing the spoils, you have to be ranked behind Beverly."
"No problem."
"In addition, as the initiator of this hunt, I have actually done your family a great favor. When necessary, I need you to repay this favor."
"No problem either, but the premise is that it's something I can do."
"Of course," Hobert smiled.
The hunt hadn't even started yet, and he felt he had already made a profit.
Hobert asked again, "How should I notify you in time of the location of Amon's avatar?"
Raymond said, "As long as it's within the manor, as long as there is a battle, I will know."
Whoosh~
The flames suddenly exploded, and the "fire man" in front of them disappeared, leaving only a damaged gas lamp.
Osment took a deep look at Hobert. He felt that this young man must have a great background, as even the notoriously grumpy Prince Raymond seemed very polite to him.
Hobert said, "Let's continue."
Soon, Osment led them to a secluded courtyard: "Mr. Valentine lives inside. He doesn't like socializing and rarely goes out. He has been secretly protecting Tony Manor."
What he didn't explain was that this Mr. Valentine was the one who stood out in the colonial battles more than a hundred years ago and became the first governor of the Rorsted Archipelago of the Loen Kingdom.
Hobert said to Rafter, "If a battle breaks out later, close your eyes immediately and pray!"
Rafter nodded seriously.
Hobert then asked Osment, "What sequence is Mr. Valentine?"
"Sequence 3."
Osment knocked on the door and asked, "Mr. Valentine?"
"Please come in."
The door opened, revealing a small reception room. A gas lamp illuminated everything in the reception room. A short old man, wearing simple robes, stood on the inner side.
He looked very kind and smiled at Hobert, "Child, has anyone told you about the special nature of your destiny?"
Hobert was stunned. He originally thought this was a "Frenzied Mage" or a "War Bishop." Why was he reading his fortune right away? It felt like the intention of a demigod from the "Monster" pathway or the "Seer" pathway?
The other party continued, "Two people have manipulated your destiny, one of whom is very vague, but I can basically tell who it is. However, I can't see the other one at all."
Hobert, who had been holding his cane tightly, was slightly taken aback: "Who is the very vague one?"
"I can't tell you," Valentine said. "Telling you in advance wouldn't be good for you."
Osment briefly explained the current predicament facing Tony Manor. Valentine pondered for a moment and said, "I suggest that we first investigate under the cover of night to see if we can find more people who have been 'parasitized'."
He smiled and said, "This might make the other party show himself, so we can go and besiege him."
Hobert corrected, "It might also be Him."
Valentine frowned: "If it really is Him, why is He still hiding?"
Osment said, "Maybe... maybe He finds it fun, I mean, watching us fail to find Him is fun for Him."
Originally, he wanted to say, "Maybe it's because Prince Raymond and this Mr. Jeffery can bring in strong reinforcements, so He hasn't taken action." But he suddenly realized, was Mr. Valentine trustworthy?
So Osment paused slightly before finding another reason.
Valentine asked, "Do you have any plans for this?"
Hobert replied, "Originally, I thought that if I walked around the manor, the other party would show himself.
"I have a Sealed Artifact that can protect my safety for a dozen seconds. Using these dozen seconds, I will try my best to negotiate with the other party.
"At the level of the other party, they wouldn't be coming for Tony Manor's assets, nor would they be coming for the Tony family's Beyonders. He might be coming for the Sealed Artifact that protects the manor.
"At worst, we can give him that Sealed Artifact, and that will resolve this dispute."
Valentine nodded: "This plan is good."
"Then," Hobert took a step back and smiled: "Hello, Mr. Amon."
Osment and Rafter were both stunned. They unconsciously retreated behind Hobert.
Valentine's smile did not diminish at all: "How did you guess?"
"Actually, this was originally a multiple-choice question," Hobert said. "Since you want to steal fate, why not just steal the fate of a demigod? This way, it will be more convenient for you to move around in the manor.
"After confirming that Mr. Osment was not the problem, I basically concluded that it was likely that the other demigod had a problem.
"But I heard that Mr. Amon is good at deception, and he is also very likely to have stolen the fate of someone in the manor other than the two demigods in order to deceive, so I designed the question just now.
"When you heard it was 'Him,' your reaction was too big. Even Mr. Osment knows that Amon is a 'High-Sequence' Beyonder, how could you not know?"
Hobert smiled and said, "To avoid misjudgment, I designed the so-called plan to deal with Amon's avatar.
"There is a huge loophole in this. The enemy has sneaked into the manor so silently for so long. If it was for a Sealed Artifact, they would have snatched the Sealed Artifact and left long ago.
"But you still said 'the plan is good,' because you don't care about these things at all.
"Someone who has been secretly protecting Tony Manor for a long time is actually indifferent to the plan to deal with the enemy. This is obviously unreasonable.
"So, Mr. Amon, did you forget to steal Mr. Valentine's memory?"
Valentine, or rather Amon, clapped his hands: "You are a qualified 'Lawyer'!"
Osment asked, "What did you do to Mr. Valentine?"
"Of course, I completely replaced his fate."
Osment couldn't be sure whether Valentine was dead or in a strange state.
Hobert then asked, "Did you come to Tony Manor for that Sealed Artifact? If that's really the case, please take it and leave."
"Valentine" showed a kind smile and said in the tone that Valentine liked to use: "Child, your probing is too superficial.
"At first, I was indeed attracted by the Sealed Artifact, but soon I thought that I could use Tony, a non-Tudor family member, to test the state of a hidden existence."
Hobert was slightly taken aback: "Did you let the young people of the Tony family believe in evil gods?"
"Yes, but now the game is over," Amon's avatar said. "I'm not a person who likes to take risks. I can feel the special nature of your body. You can leave. I won't make things difficult for you!"
"Thank you for your magnanimity," Hobert said, injecting spirituality and the power of the "Nation of Disorder" into the "Crystal of Order." The "barrier" instantly stood in front of the three people.
Clang ~
Amon's avatar's "theft" was blocked by the barrier.
Hobert thought to himself: I totally believe you! How could you let us go!
"Messenger!" He immediately chanted the ancient Hermes word, and Beverly's coffin broke through the void and appeared in front of them.
Seeing that his ability was blocked and a coffin appeared, Amon's avatar cautiously did not continue to attack Hobert, but grabbed towards the coffin and began a tentative attack, only to grab out a half-eaten donut.
Hobert had already dragged the blindfolded Rafter out of the door under the cover of the barrier.
He quickly took out the "Concealment Fruit" and threw it into the air. Under the faint moonlight, a dark and shiny flower bloomed, and a phantom shadow appeared in the entire Tony Manor.
These phantom shadows appeared in the real world, replacing the real Tony Manor, while the real Tony Manor entered a hidden space.
The moment this hidden space formed, a burst of fire burst out from the ground, heading straight for the courtyard where Amon's avatar was located.
