434 Tomb and Bounty (1/2)

She knows? Klein was overjoyed, and quickly asked, ”Where?”

In his heart, he was already prepared to pay the ”consultation fee.”

Sharron sat there without moving and said, like a talking doll, ”In one of the gatherings that Maric participated in, someone once discovered the tomb of an ancient noble. They explored the periphery but didn't dare to venture deep, but there were traces of Human-skinned Shadow activity.

”They hoped to recruit a team strong enough to completely explore the tomb and split the valuables equally.”

To seek help in a gathering of Beyonders who are not familiar with each other, how can all parties guarantee each other's credibility? What if there's no tomb at all, and it's just a trap? Klein quickly thought and asked in response, ”Did they succeed?”

”Yes,” Sharron answered simply.

This… Klein temporarily didn't pursue the details. He suppressed his voice to avoid being overheard by the carriage driver.

”And then?”

”After that, they never appeared again,” Sharron calmly recounted. ”One of the members was a friend of Maric's, and he disappeared completely after that matter.”

Without waiting for Klein to ask, she continued to speak with her ethereal voice.

”Maric found some of his friend's belongings. I used the method of divination to track them down to White Cliff Town, and I found a hidden entrance to the tomb at the riverbend of the Stratford River. Maric's friend was inside, but he was already dead.”

”You went in?” Klein blurted out.

”No, I determined it using another method,” Sharron explained. ”That tomb gave me a sense of great danger. I didn't try to explore it.”

At this point, she looked at Klein with her blue eyes.

”Without the help of a Sequence 4 Beyonder or a Sealed Artifact of a corresponding level, it would be best not to venture deep into that tomb.”

Even you find it very dangerous. I don't need to go above the gray fog to divine it to know how terrifying it is… Klein looked down at the floor of the carriage and thought for a few seconds.

”Do you know which ancient noble's tomb it belongs to?”

Sharron did not pause in her reply.

”His last name is Amon.”

Amon? A member of the family of that Amon who had possessed Little Sun's body and almost sneaked into the mysterious space above the gray fog? Klein used his ability as a Clown to control the slight twitch of his eyelids. He asked in puzzlement, ”Are you sure?”

At this moment, a figure appeared in his mind—a black classic robe, a matching pointed hat, a broad forehead, a thin face, black eyes, black hair, and a crystal monocle.

Sharron's pale blonde hair shone through the mist like an oil painting drawn by a master, and she said in her usual flat tone, ”According to the items obtained from the initial exploration, a member of the gathering who specializes in ancient history determined that the owner of the tomb came from the Tudor Dynasty of the Fourth Epoch. The family name is Amon.”

It really is the Blasphemer family of the Fourth Epoch… This family isn't cursed like the Abraham family, nor was it destroyed directly by the Church of a certain goddess like the Antigonus family…

According to the special and powerful performance Amon showed in the City of Silver, the situation of this family might be comparable to that of Zaratul's. They were all secretly passed down, with the presence of High-Sequence Beyonders among their ranks, perhaps even with powerful angels. They protect certain crucial secrets, such as the ”coordinates” of the Forsaken Land of the Gods…

The danger of a tomb left behind by such a family can be imagined. Perhaps Amon can borrow the power of certain changes to cast his gaze over from the distant Forsaken Land of the Gods… I can't use the perspective of a Low- or Mid-Sequence Beyonder to deduce the terror of a demigod…

Klein didn't ponder for long before denying the possibility of exploring the tomb of the Amon family.

Slightly disappointed, he looked up at Sharron.

”Is that place the only place with a Human-skinned Shadow?”

Sharron shook her head.

”No.”

”Oh?” Klein's eyes lit up, and he assumed a listening posture.

Sharron said, her voice unchanged, ”I've participated in a gathering. A Beyonder promised that as long as someone completes a mission given by her, she would satisfy any reasonable request. When it comes to ingredients, it is limited to those below that of High-Sequence Beyonder ingredients.”

”In other words, she can give any Beyonder ingredient below that of High-Sequence Beyonders?” The first thought that came to Klein's mind was: is she bragging?

Even for the Church of the Evernight Goddess, only the Holy Cathedral, or in other words, the Cathedral of Serenity, would possess such a possibility!

Many of these ingredients weren't commonly needed because they weren't needed at all.

Upon hearing Klein's question, Sharron calmly replied, ”She's a High-Sequence Beyonder.”

High-Sequence Beyonder? No wonder… That would be on the level of the high-ranking members of the Churches or secret organizations. Even if they don't belong to any party, they would still build up their own faction! However, the promise of any type of Beyonder ingredient below a High-Sequence potion definitely can't be completely be met… Klein momentarily had such a thought.

Sharron simply added, ”She said that certain ingredients would require a certain period of time.”

That's more like it! Klein asked with interest, ”What mission did she give?”
