Chapter 231 - Conversation with Emma
Amon? Miss, as a Beyonder of the Marauder pathway, you're actually interested in Amon... Where did you get the urge to beco a part of Amon?
After lampooning inwardly, Ebner wasn't too worried. Firstly, he had already used the Eye of White to check the area a few tis before entering the library. He was certain that there weren't any other living people apart from Miss Emma... Secondly, Amon didn't dare let "His" avatars enter Backlund at this ti.
Unless Amon steals the mory of the problem he discovered, there's no need to be overly suspicious... However, with the level of the White Eye, it's unlikely that Amon's avatar can do it... Therefore, there's no need to worry about it.
As his thoughts raced, he took a deep look at Miss Emma and confird that she wasn't a mber of the Hermits of Fate. She had likely obtained the Marauder Sequence potion by chance, or else she would've been inford of certain taboos.
"What's wrong?" Miss Emma's hair stood on end from the way he looked at her. Her long, straight eyebrows furrowed as she asked uncomfortably, "Why are you looking at
like that?"
"Emma, I don't know why you ntioned the na 'Amon,' but regardless, it's best not to probe further... This is because, even in the Fourth Epoch, where there were many High-Sequence Beyonders, this family's last na was taboo!" Ebner warned solemnly.
"It's that serious?" Upon hearing that, Emma was shocked at first. Then, when she saw Ebner's stern expression, she said in depression, "Among the five major families of the Tudor Dynasty, the Amon family is the most mysterious one. It has the least history left behind. It seems to have been distorted and concealed by so power... I thought I could unravel a portion of the family's secrets and completely expend the Cryptologist's potion..."
Upon hearing this, Ebner's heart stirred as he imdiately thought of sothing. He probed, "Don't tell
that you discovered the tomb of the Amon family in so book?"
How do you know that? You can figure that out? Emma's eyes widened. Although she didn't say it out loud, the expression on her face made it clear.
"It's really him... I was just making a guess!" Ebner pretended to look surprised, but he sighed inwardly.
So you were the one who discovered the mausoleum at the bend of the Stratford River in White Cliff Town? In that case, Miss, your original ending wasn't very good...
"As expected of a Hero Detective. You really are sharp!" Emma clicked her tongue in wonder. After sighing, she said to Ebner, "That's right... I previously found so records in an ancient book and determined that there was an ancient tomb near White Cliff Town... And the tomb's owner is most likely an important mber of the Amon family.
"But as you know, I don't have much freedom. I had to sneak around at night even when I wanted to et you... Therefore, I couldn't personally confirm the existence of the ancient tomb. As for Fani, she's only a Sequence 9, and a Lawyer isn't proficient in all kinds of ritualistic magic. Even if she has an extrely powerful chanical creation, I wouldn't let her take the risk..."
Ebner could naturally tell what she was implying. She didn't wish for Fani to take the risk, so she deliberately brought up the topic of Amon to
the mont they t in order to garner my interest... But she didn't expect
to be so afraid of Amon, so she had no choice but to explain things clearly...
Even the Church of Steam's saint-level archbishop nearly died there. How could a Sequence 7 like
dare to join in the fun?
Ebner lampooned before persuading again, "Based on my experience, that place must be very dangerous. Even if Low- and Mid-Sequence Beyonders manage to escape by chance, they might suffer so unknown disaster in the future. I repeat, 'Amon' is taboo. Even demigods have deep reservations about this na."
"But, I've already gotten Fanito leak so information at a relatively high-level Beyonder gathering yesterday... I-I didn't expect it to be that dangerous," Emma said uneasily. Her original intention was only to attract so powerful adventurers to explore the exact location of the mausoleum. Although she knew that it was dangerous, she never thought of deliberately harming others.
Then whoever goes will be unlucky... There was nothing that could be done about it. The other Beyonders weren't like Ema. Even if she told them that there was danger, they probably wouldn't care...
After all, for unaffiliated Beyonders, how could there be no danger if they wanted to obtain sothing? However, the danger this ti was beyond their imagination.
Even if it was Emma, she definitely had her suspicions. If not for the deep impression that she had left on her during the expedition to the ruins, giving her a certain degree of trust and understanding, she might've thought that she was just exaggerating.
Although Emma was indeed hesitant, although she had a rash side to her personality, she was happy to listen to the opinions of others. Especially through her spiritual intuition as a Cryptologist and her observation skills, she determined that what Ebner said ca from the bottom of his heart. He was really thinking for her, so she decided not to probe into Amon for the ti being.
After I advance to beco a demigod and beco a powerhouse like Hazel's teacher who can fool the Church of Evernight, I'll head to Amon's mausoleum to explore...
After carefully observing Ema's expression and confirming that she had really given up on exploring Amon, he heaved a sigh of relief.
He didn't want his friend to wear a monocle one day...
Then, after comforting Emma, he asked,
"Have you found anything about Baron Lamud's family?"
Upon hearing that, Emma nodded and composed herself. She handed a notebook to Ebner and said with a smile, "I found the relevant records in the royal family's library. This is so of the content that I copied... I have to say, the story of the first Baron Lamud is romantic and inspirational. It's not as legendary as his son's."
"It's filled with the word 'legendary'?" Ebner ruminated over the word and flipped through the notebook.
The first part of the story was nothing special. It was about the first Baron Lamud, who was also Baron Azik's life story. It recorded his low birth, his ritorious exploits, and how he married his forr mistress after obtaining an aristocratic title.
This was indeed inspirational and romantic, enough to be treated like a novel.
After silently making so comnts in his heart, Ebner once again read the life story of the second-generation baron that Irma had copied.
The second generation Baron Lamud's na was Tana. When he first ca to Backlund, he was Earl Wolfe's knight squire.
Relying on the Sequence potions he had inherited, as well as his relatively powerful strength, he quickly stood out among the attendants. He also beca good friends with Baron Kilgor, who was also an attendant back then.
Due to his outstanding handling skills and dazzling battle achievents, the second generation Baron Lamud was appreciated by William I. He then left Earl Wolfe and beca the king's confidant with his good friend, Baron Kilgor.
In the years that followed, these two friends made plenty of contributions to the kingdom. They had both competed and cooperated with each other, and they had a good relationship.
During this period of ti, Emma had copied a few examples of battles after the enemy. The process was indeed legendary, allowing the king to not only allow Tana to attack the baron, but he also made Baron Lamud his hereditary.
Until a secret mission ca... The details of the mission didn't seem to be found by her. She only wrote that the security clearance level was extrely high and that she didn't have enough clearance.
This mission was jointly completed by the two Barons, Lamud and Kilgor. However, the two later beca enemies, and Kilgor had even poisoned Lamud to death.
And the king's attitude towards this was simply to punish them for losing so of their property.
Upon reading this, Ebner pondered for a mont and asked Emma, "Was the person who kept suppressing Baron Lamud also Kilgor?"
Emma nodded slightly and replied, "It's no secret. After all, we've already beco sworn enemies, so I naturally won't go easy on you."
"It seems like the crux of the problem lies in that secret mission... What is it? Besides, Baron Kilgor sounds familiar..." Ebner muttered to himself in thought.
"The Kilgor family's aristocratic title was abolished more than a hundred years ago..." ma added.
"More than a hundred years ago... Back when Roselle was in power?" Ebner seed to recall sothing as he asked.
"It does seem to be the case..." Emma was taken aback as she recalled before nodding.
Kilgor... The forr military Brigadier General, a high-ranking mber of MI9, Qonas Kilgor, had such a surna.
I wonder if it's related...
