Secret: I, the hermit, want to make progress too much

Chapter 172 Amon, fraud and theft
  dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door at the Berg house.

Derrick was stunned, not knowing who would be visiting at this moment.

He tiptoed to the door.

"Who?"

"It's me, Mosca."

A sweet voice came from outside the door.

Derrick was stunned for a second, and then he was about to open the door, but soon thought of Mr. Fool's ritual.

"Ms. Mosca, it's late today, what do you want?"

"It's nothing, I just want to chat with you. I think you are a handsome and interesting person."

The other party's voice came from outside the door.

Derrick felt a brief excitement in his heart.

"Ms. Mosca, it's very late today. If you have any questions, let's talk tomorrow. I want to prepare to pray and then go to bed."

As an ignorant young man, it would be a lie to say that he is not attracted to a beautiful lady.

but.

He has a higher pursuit——

Help Silver City get out of the darkness.

The road is bound to be twists and turns, and the residents of Silver City are inherently crazy.

The scene of him beheading his relatives with his own hands came to his mind.

"No matter what, you're not even willing to open the door?"

There was a resentful voice outside the door.

Mosca seemed angry.

Derrick pursed his lips.

"Miss Mosca, I thank you for the compliment, and you are a beautiful lady, but I am still..."

"Then I have no choice but to come in by myself."

what?
  Derrick was stunned for a second, and then his spiritual intuition suddenly reached its limit. He quickly felt something was wrong in his heart and began to pray quickly.

then.

A voice sounded from behind.

"Are you praying to Him? I'm curious about Him. Can you tell me about Him?"

Derrick turned his head stiffly and held his hands in front of his chest in a defensive gesture.

In front of him, Mosca was still beautiful, but indescribably evil and strange.

She smiled softly.

"Don't you admire me in your heart? Why are you not willing to open the door when I come here?"

"who are you?"

Derrick touched his hand to his waist.

At this moment, even if he didn't know what was going on, he knew that he was in an extremely dangerous situation.

"You've been checking my information lately, but you don't even know who I am."

At this moment, the woman took out a pair of monocles and put them on her right eye.

Then, she showed a friendly and evil smile.

Derrick was extremely frightened.

The other party’s target turned out to be Mr. Fool!
  The "hermit's" guess was right.

This guy……

What do you want to do?
  Steal or cheat?

No.

There is a high probability that it is the former, because the other party has not deceived him at all.

He kept reciting prayers silently in his heart, praying to Mr. Fool for protection and help.

but.

The next moment, his movements suddenly stopped.

Derrick woke up——

Could the purpose of the other party be to hope that he would pray to the Fool?
  otherwise.

The history of Amon is popularly known as "He" by Mr. Fool, as well as "The Hermit" and Mr. Hanged Man.

He can't just use this method.

Derrick was horrified.

however.

"It seems there is someone who knows me over there. You seem to be a little wary, but it's too late."

The woman chuckled, "I stole a little bit of your memory, so now you have actually completed your prayer."

She looked up, with a hint of mockery on her face, and began to read to herself.

"You are a fool who does not belong to this era."

"The mysterious master above the gray fog."

"The Yellow and Black King of Good Luck."

"I pray for your help..."

Derrick was in a very turbulent mood.

This is exactly what he prayed for. The other party's ability is indeed stealing!

Thick sunlight formed in his hands, and the dazzling light shone forward, and then he instantly took out the ax from his waist and struck forward.

however.

The next moment, his expression became blank, as if he had forgotten what to do, and stood there blankly.

……

Above the gray fog, Klein's hands and feet were cold, and there was a war between heaven and man in his heart.

It’s really Amon!

He was thinking whether to abandon the sun.

but.

The next moment, he strengthened his inner thoughts.

Can't abandon it!

Klein followed his original plan, using blasphemous cards, rituals, and extraordinary items to prepare to protect Derrick.

however.

At this time, Amon himself began to chant the honorable name.

Klein directly refused to communicate.

but.

When he thought he could sever contact with Amon without responding, Amon's power was traced back through Derrick's channel.

He stole Derrick's passage!

What a weird ability.

Klein took a deep breath and didn't think about it anymore.

At this moment, he had no other choice.

only……

on!
  To deal with Amon, he had no other means but to rely on the power of gray mist.

but.

In addition to the gray fog, he also made some other preparations.

The Blood Pact Ceremony is one.

He has told Derrick the method. As long as Derrick uses it, he can complete the contact and then try to suppress Amon.

The other is——

That master key.

It is an extraordinary attribute of the apprentice, but possesses a certain curse.

Ordinary people cannot borrow the power inside, but he can use the gray mist to pry the curse inside and let it burst out quickly.

Klein does not think that the other party is the true body.

The Curse of Mr. Immen...

Even a Sequence 9 extraordinary item should be able to damage Amon to a certain extent.

He was thinking about it when suddenly——

The woman's hand stretched out from "The Sun" and extended directly into Derrick's passage.

Amon actually parasitized Derrick!

when?
  Klein was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

Maybe it was the moment Amon read out his honorable name just now that made Derrick's mind shake, and he also briefly cut off contact.

and so.

"Reciting the honorable name" is more of a fraud.

After he understood it, he quickly and resolutely targeted Amon, leveraging the power of the gray mist.

……

Derrick came to his senses.

At this moment, he felt that he was detached from the world and in a wonderful state——

He could see himself maintaining a praying posture, and above him, a figure was hovering strangely.

He wears a monocle.

It was Amon.

Have you been silently parasitized?

What a terrifying ability!

Then, he saw a hazy giant bronze palace, with a psychedelic, hazy figure sitting inside.

Beside him, a figure bloomed with twelve pairs of dark and mysterious huge wings.

His body is golden, contrasting with the jet black wings.

The moment he saw Him, Derrick gained a lot of knowledge related to this sequence...

next moment.

He saw Amon stretching his hand towards the giant bronze palace.

It's terrible!
  Derrick felt Amon's weirdness and terror.

But at this time. Amon's movements suddenly stopped, and then he started wailing uncontrollably.

Then, he saw that Mosca's body also changed, and he also started to cry.

On the gray fog, Derrick saw a faint moon.

moon?

what happened?
  He didn't understand, but based on Amon's reaction at this moment, Derrick understood that the other party must have suffered huge damage.

He could not even maintain his parasitism and was separated from himself.

Derrick's consciousness quickly returned to his original body.

Then, while Amon was still in madness, he immediately rushed to the side and picked up the sheepskin with blood characters on it.

The blood contract is completed!
  The next moment, Derrick felt that his connection with Mr. Fool had deepened.

Amon's influence was completely driven away!
  He was about to pick up the ax and strike at the opponent, when a dim yellow light enveloped them.

This is?

Derrick was startled, and then heard a roar.

The door was kicked open.

Two figures were outside the door.

Then, the figure of the woman held a sword and bathed in the dim light, rushed in and grabbed him.

"go!"

Lovia grabbed Derrick and quickly threw him behind, while the ghostly shadow of the devil appeared on her body.

Flames covered Amon.

Amon screamed and soon became silent. At this moment, a hidden information flow suddenly bloomed from Lovia's body.

It blocks a bug.

The dim yellow light quickly bound the insect, and then it quickly lost its vitality.

Lovia gasped for breath, and then prayed silently.

"Praise to you, great Mr. Hermit!"

……

some time ago.

Roy left the Tarot Club, and not long after that, he heard a prayer from Lovia.

She reported something to herself.

Amon possessed a corrupt crow and followed her, seeming to be plotting something.

This surprised Roy.

because--

According to his understanding, Amon would not be interested in him unless the other party wanted to eliminate Lovia, the "traitor".

but.

Lovia did not publicize him in a big way and did not cause conversions in Silver City, and Amon could not give up on what was truly important.

after all.

That’s Origin Castle!
  Furthermore.

Colin ambushed and killed Amon so easily that he felt that Lovia was just taking a look at Lovia and himself.

After reaching this conclusion, another question arises.

Should I tell him about Derrick?
  When Roy hesitated, Lovia gave him a choice——

She prayed to know Amon's purpose.

Roy used the "Insect of Time" as a condition to tell the other party Amon's purpose.

Derrick and the being behind him.

……

Silver City, in the chief's office.

"Derrick, Amon's goal is the great being behind you."

Colin said.

Derrick lowered his head in shame.

"Yes, Sir, I'm sorry for bringing disaster to Silver City."

He thought he brought salvation and hope.

result.

His existence finally attracted Amon.

This made him extremely ashamed.

Colin was silent for a few seconds, then shook his head: "There is no need to feel sorry. Amon cares so much, which shows how great this gentleman is."

Amon is undoubtedly weird and powerful.

Even if they don't know what kind of existence Amon is, their understanding of him is not comprehensive.

Derrick glanced outside.

He didn't expect that the chief would come, and Elder Lovia would also come with him, and rush in to save him immediately.

It would be a lie to say that you are not impressed.

but.

"Chief, how do you know I'm in danger?"

Derrick was curious.

Colin glanced at him and said: "I have been checking for traces of Amon recently. I killed a crow before, and it was also parasitized by Amon."

"Have you already set your sights on her?"

"Ah."

Colin nodded.

This is not true, but he needs to keep it a secret from Derrick——

The mysterious existence on Lovia's side is more knowledgeable and mysterious than he imagined, and may be of great help to the current Silver City.

Due to Amon's existence, he believed that the less people knew about these things, the better.

Especially under the premise that Derrick is being targeted.

……

In the deep darkness somewhere, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky and illuminated the vicinity.

Amon stood in front of the ravine, holding a monocle made of crystal in his hand.

He looked in the direction of Silver City with a smile on his face.

"Fool."

"It doesn't belong to this era. Hehe, it actually borrowed the curse of the door. It's really interesting."

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he frowned slightly, "Who is the other one?"

The existence behind Lovia...

Seems to be the evil god of knowledge.

It felt like a wilderness of knowledge, but it was specious and seemed to be mixed with other ingredients.

"There are more and more strange existences."

Amon chuckled.

Before he finished speaking, he had already jumped into the ravine in front of him.

At this time, the lightning subsided for a second, and darkness completely enveloped the world.

……

Klein, who returned to reality, was extremely happy at this moment——

I was glad that I had enough reserves, and that the woman and the Chief of Silver City arrived in time to save Derrick.

otherwise.

At this moment, I may still be entangled with Amon.

Although he pried off the gray mist and used the curse in the master key to ambush Amon, he failed to completely kill him.

If you want to kill him completely, you can do it, but you need to further leverage the power of the gray mist, and you need Derrick's cooperation.

The trouble is, there are two clones of Amon.

One is in Derrick's body, and the other is lodged in "Mosca". Although Derrick recovered and obtained the materials immediately, there is no guarantee that there will be no variables later.

Fortunately, they arrived in time.

of course.

Also special thanks to Roy.

If it weren't for Roy's guess and extension, he would have thought that Amon might be interested in him from his knowledge of adjacent pathway exchange and hidden sage...

He would not have been so well prepared.

Klein sighed.

Amon.

To be honest, during this period, his urgency for promotion was not as strong as before.

On the one hand, the captain was improving, and the apostle of desire was alerted by the appearance of Mr. Azik and did not continue to target him.

on the other hand.

Ince is dead, and the gang he wants to investigate and the purpose behind them are not yet fully understood.

and so.

There was something slack inside him.

however.

The current situation forced him to seize the time to seek digestion and promotion.

"I need more stages to do my magic."

Klein thought to himself.

South District, Polez Party.

This is his next role.

before that……

He prayed and then said: "Dear Mr. Fool, I would like to ask you to help convey it."

"I want to make a deal with Mr. Hermit and ask him to help make more powerful scrolls that can be used in battle."

Those materials were collected and purchased through hard work at the Eye of Wisdom party.

Although the price is not very high, it is difficult to collect.

"Hey, I wish I had the financial resources of Miss Justice."
