Chapter 499 A glimmer of hope

Backlund, the city of hope.

This sentence was originally meant for outsiders outside Backlund, because this place has the most advanced technology, art, industry, and banking in the entire Loen Kingdom...

As long as you have enough ability, this is a city of hope with gold everywhere and infinite possibilities.

"Backlund, the City of Hope..." Leonard repeated twice, his expression becoming excited.

Where is the old man's hope? Hope lies in Backlund!

"Some people can change an already fixed fate with just a simple word. I really hope you are one of them."

There was a deep meaning in Pales' tone. Just at that moment, when Hastur said that hope lies in Backlund, it seemed as if he had really caught a glimpse of the future.

In that future, he successfully avoided being swallowed by Amon.

However, such abilities should not come from believers of the stars, but rather from believers of fools.

Because there is a signpost of destiny, which is to see through destiny in one word.

"I also hope to be such a person. At least, I have given you hope." Hastur just smiled.

"Thank you, this is what I need most right now."

After a few more brief conversations, Hastur asked why Leonard didn't go find Klein first and seek the Fool's help.

"I don't know where Klein has gone. I haven't seen him for a long time." Leonard sighed.

He first went to Boklund Street to look for Klein, but he did not see Klein or Dawn Donstadt.

Finally, he could only leave a letter and take a carriage to Queens.

"He should appear in your dream tonight."

Leonard's mouth twitched when he heard Hastur say that. He actually hated being disturbed in the middle of the night, even though he didn't really need to rest.

After Leonard left, Hastur sat in the study, thinking about how to help Pales survive this disaster.

It is not difficult to survive. After all, in the original work, Pales relied on his own exploration over the years to reduce his status from Sequence 1 to Sequence 2 and successfully survived.

What he needed to do was to preserve the extraordinary characteristics of the Sequence 1 Time Worm in Pales and how to target Amon.

With the experience of Backlund last time, if Amon comes again, he will definitely make full preparations and even let Adam help him.

After all, the last time Amon came to ask for 008 was because of Adam.

"If I were Amon, when would you choose to take action?"

After Hastur put himself in his shoes, he immediately sent two servants to chase Leonard back. At the same time, he called Graygari from the spirit world and retrieved the sealed box of the old days. Then he went to the Hall of Stars and asked Madam Lisa to come back and be ready to take action at any time.

If he is Amon, then now is the best time to take action!

After the failure in obtaining 008 last time, even if Amon's clone did not send any information back to the original body, Amon must have known that he was up to something.

Without the help of the Goddess of Night, the only ones who could really stop Amon were the Fool and the stars.

He could only come here for help, and this place was the contact point for the stars. If Amon was hiding quietly nearby, then after Leonard left a certain distance, it would be the best time to take action!

In Queens Borough, on King's Avenue, the carriage Leonard was riding in had just left Hastur about 500 meters away. When he heard the call of Hastur's servants behind him, Leonard was about to lift the curtain of the carriage to take a look.

"It's too late! Amon is coming!"

Pales inside Leonard couldn't help but exclaim.

The surrounding space came to a standstill, the carriage stopped moving, and the two well-trained horses were now crawling on the ground, trembling.

A gust of wind blew away the wooden frame of the carriage, exposing Leonard outside.

The man was wearing a black windbreaker like a robe, paired with black pants and black leather shoes. He had a thin face, a tall top hat and a very distinctive monocle, and looked very gentle.

Amon!

Amon the Blasphemer!

Even though he had never actually seen the blasphemer Amon, Leonard guessed his identity at first sight, with horror in his eyes. It was really too fast!

He didn't even have time to ask the Fool for help.

By the way, you can go directly through the Tarot Club!

Leonard then remembered that he could contact the Fool in this way.

Previously, he just thought that Klein was the follower of the Fool and was more suitable to be a middleman.

When the thought of asking the Fool for help just flashed through Leonard's mind, it disappeared the next second. He was in a daze, as if his entire brain had been emptied.

"Pallez, I really want to catch up with you, but time is running out."

When Amon said this, the sky outside was covered with dark clouds and a violent lightning was brewing.

"The stars are watching here, Amon, there is no way you can leave Backlund."

"You don't need to worry about me then."

Knowing that he could not delay any longer, Amon stretched out his hand and threw out a bone church. The bone church grew in the wind and soon turned into a huge bone palace as big as the one inhabited by a giant.

Every black pillar, every arch, and every dome in the palace was inlaid with white bones of different races. They were crowded together in a dense and chaotic manner, staring at the slightly tiny target in the center of the hall with their empty eyes, as if they were conducting a trial.

This is the Bone Church from Adam, which has the ability to block all prying eyes.

Just when the Bone Church was about to be completed, Pales sighed inside Leonard's body and threw Leonard out of the Bone Church.

This time Amon came too quickly, and He had no time to prepare.

After all, Amon had guessed my thoughts, so it was not unfair for me to lose.

Just when Pales lost his fighting spirit, the entire bone church began to shake, as if it was targeted by some powerful seal and was about to be forcibly sucked away.

At the same time, thunders from the Lord of Storms fell, trying to forcibly break open the Bone Church.

Under the double attack, even the White Bone Church briefly showed a crack at this moment.

Seeing that the situation had changed, Pales no longer hesitated. He forced himself to recover to his peak state and quickly escaped from the crack.

The strong will to survive that erupted from him at this moment made even Amon look sideways.

Amon looked up, frowned slightly and said, "It happened so quickly. Did I underestimate your wisdom, or are you really watching everything?"

The initiative had been lost. Even if he was facing the divine punishment of the Lord of Storms and the gaze of the stars, he had to temporarily avoid the edge.

"Need the secrecy of the night."

Amon watched for a while, looking at the thunder pouring down crazily from the sky above his head, and then he packed up the Bone Church and left Backlund.

This time, He only came to confirm his inner guess. All of His previous clones were killed in Backlund, so He knew that Backlund had what He wanted.

When Zaratul revealed the news this time, He got rid of that annoying guy as quickly as possible and came to Backlund to guard.

As expected, they waited for Pales, but the stars reacted too quickly and appeared in time to help Pales escape this disaster.

"Hastur Campbell, I will remember you."

Amon did not look too frustrated when he left Backlund. This time, he acted in a hurry and was not fully prepared.

Otherwise, it would not be so easy for the Lord of Storms and the stars to discover Him.

"Pallez, you don't dare to leave Backlund. I will find you again sooner or later."

It has been confirmed that Pales is in Backlund, and Amon is in a pretty good mood.

At this moment, the surrounding space changed and an equally young figure walked over.

Amon put away the smile on his face and said coldly: "If you want to use my hand to help you test the stars, then don't follow me so closely."

"Games are also something I enjoy." The High-Dimensional Overseer did not care about Amon's attitude. His gaze turned toward the starry sky of Backlund.

The stars were twinkling there, and even He felt it was a little strange.

"The relationship between you and the stars is really interesting."

"You are still far from exploring these things." The high-dimensional overlord just spoke lightly.

Amon did not get angry. He glanced at Backlund again and quickly left the spot.

The High Dimension Overlooker also left and continued to chase Amon.

Above the Hall of Stars, Hastur looked around the King's Avenue through the Hall of Stars, and only after confirming that there was no trace of Amon did he look away.

If he hadn't suddenly guessed that Amon might block Leonard and Pales, he would never have reacted so quickly.

The Storm Lord alone cannot stop the cooperation between Amon and the Church of Bones.

It was he who used the power of the Hall of Stars and drove the BOX OF OLD ONE, which was able to shake Amon's Church of Bones to a certain extent.

Give Pales a hope of escape.

Pales, who now has hope, is not someone that Amon can deal with in a short period of time, even though Pales has only recovered to Sequence 2.

"This is just the beginning. Amon will definitely stay outside Backlund and continue to look for the right opportunity."

Hastur's gaze turned toward the star where the higher-dimensional gazer was.

The two times that Amon came to Backlund, the High-Dimensional Overseer only appeared after Amon failed, which was enough to prove that He had other ideas in mind.

However, the relationship between the stars and the Outer Gods of the Old Days such as the High-Dimensional Overseer s, the Mother Tree of Desire, and the Supernova Dominator is not a simple one of superiors and subordinates. If you want the High-Dimensional Overseer s to do things for you, you need to offer enough benefits or the stars' promises about the future.

This is what the High-Dimensional Overseer was waiting for, so he allowed Amon to explore the stars.

In this way, no matter what the result of Amon's test is, He can reap the benefits. If the stars need His help, He will be able to get the help of the stars in the future.

As for Amon, the High-Dimensional Overseer should not mind using Amon as a gift to the stars. Unfortunately, Amon has a good brother, and the High-Dimensional Overseer 's clone cannot really deal with Amon.
