Bab 84: Chapter 84: The Balam Empire
'No, I swore I wouldn't borrow power from unknown entities again in the short term.'
Suppressing the urge to act, Lynn blinked and smiled, "Hello, Mr. Amon, I know you. The Angel of Thieves, the King of Angels. I heard your family only consists of yourself. Is that true? So, does that mean your wife is also you?"
His expression was curious and earnest, as if he were genuinely asking rather than mocking Amon for having no real followers and even needing to disguise himself as his own wife.
——Alright, Lynn admitted he couldn't quite hold back.
Just looking at Amon made him inexplicably angry.
"You are nothing like Bethel. Instead, you remind me of someone who died a long time ago." Amon said with a smile, adjusting the crystal monocle on his eye.
"It's a shame you didn't get to meet them."
Is that the person nicknamed "Little Red" with the code name "Hotpot," who raised you and even burnt your feathers?
Hearing this, Lynn smiled knowingly at Amon, hinting, "Mr. Amon, you are not like your brother either..."
After saying this, Lynn didn't care whether Amon understood or would think of anything from it. He turned to Mr. Door and asked:
"Mr. Bethel, does the Abraham family have a set of beginner textbooks on the Beyonder knowledge? I mean something that teaches ordinary people from scratch, progressively covering simple to complex knowledge?"
Bethel Abraham was momentarily stunned by the question but then nodded. Although somewhat puzzled, he said, "The Abraham family does have books for teaching family members to become a Beyonder, but aside from basic knowledge, they primarily focus on the Door pathway, which isn't suitable for Beyonders of all pathways."
Mystical knowledge is universal, yet not completely so. For example, some knowledge like divination is only useful to specific pathways, so the focus of learning differs among pathways.
It's like a warrior pathway Beyonder learning about the spirit world; while not entirely useless, it's likely not very applicable.
"As long as you have them, can you give me a set?" Lynn nodded satisfactorily. He didn't care about the emphasis; it was always good to collect more knowledge.
Moreover, Beyonders of the Mystery Pryer and Savant pathways benefit from learning more. What might be less useful for other pathways could be valuable for them.
"Of course." Although Bethel Abraham was puzzled about why Lynn wanted these materials, he didn't mind such a small matter. He nodded slightly and gestured to the butler.
The butler quickly nodded, "If Master Libert needs them, we can get them right away."
Clearly, the butler still hadn't given up on keeping Lynn away from Amon.
Perhaps it wasn't just because the butler had personally experienced Amon's terror earlier but also because he had witnessed Lynn and Amon's exchange of barbs.
Even though it was brief, the butler found it nerve-wracking.
"Libert, are you trying to teach someone to become a Beyonder from scratch?" Amon interjected unexpectedly, his smile warm yet devoid of any genuine emotion, "Why don't you tell me about it? I have some experience in this area."
You have experience? What experience? Turning the people you're teaching into snacks or transforming them all into versions of yourself?
Right, turning them all into versions of yourself indeed requires no teaching.
Recalling Amon's various annoying behaviors in the original story, Lynn couldn't help but sarcastically think. He smiled back, "It's not a big deal, no need for Mr. Amon to worry."
"Alright, Amon, don't forget why you came to see me." Bethel Abraham said, feeling a headache coming on from watching their fake smiles.
Mr. Door wasn't worried about Lynn's safety. Lynn was someone who could fight off the Mother Tree of Desire. Even if he was not in the best state and might be reluctant to act, Amon wouldn't easily succeed against him.
Mr. Door also didn't care about Amon's life. Though they were somewhat comrades, if Amon insisted on courting death, Bethel Abraham wouldn't bother to stop him.
However, this was the territory of the Abraham family, and Mr. Door was genuinely concerned about the potential destruction from a fight between these two.
Hearing this, Amon glanced at Mr. Door and adjusted his crystal monocle again, smiling, "Of course, I haven't forgotten. But your child is just too interesting, so I couldn't resist helping out."
'First, this is not my child. If not for his own amusement, I would never acknowledge such a mistaken relationship.'
'Second, believe me, Amon, if you dare "help" him, you'll be the one to suffer.'
Bethel Abraham inwardly retorted, glancing at Amon again. Seeing his eager look, he turned to Lynn, noticing his increasingly dark aura despite the smile, feeling a worse headache.
These two must not fight here; otherwise, I'd have to help Libert suppress Amon.
Not for any other reason, just to end the fight quickly and protect the Abraham family's property.
Moreover, even Mr. Door often found Amon incredibly annoying.
Lynn, hearing their conversation, became interested and asked, "What's the purpose?"
Damn, how did I forget that...
Bethel Abraham's face twitched. In an instant, he thought of dozens of possible developments, but it was too late to regret.
Amon, unaware of Mr. Door's complex and rich inner turmoil, smiled at Lynn and said,
"I'm going with Bethel to visit the Balam Empire and see Death Salinger. Are you interested in joining us? The Land of Death is very different from the Tudor Empire."
His tone was gentle, like a good uncle inviting a friend's child on a trip, not like a mischievous brat with sinister intentions.
The Balam Empire? That means I might meet Azik in his Death Consul form?
Lynn's eyes lit up instantly, and countless interesting ideas sprouted in his mind.
Bethel Abraham felt a worse headache but couldn't do anything. He could only say, "If Libert is interested, you can come along."
"When are we leaving?" Lynn asked without hesitation, not caring about traveling with Amon.
