Chapter 62 Pales is gloating.
"I have long admired your name, sir. I had heard of the other divine child besides Adam and Amon, but I thought it was just a rumor. I never expected to meet you today." A shadow materialized into a human form beside him. Pales looked at Rosen and said this with a sigh, then changed the subject:
"It seems you have no intention of capturing me for your brother."
While speaking, Pales appeared calm on the surface, but in his heart he was somewhat surprised and suspicious. He did know the name Rosen Nicholas, in a memory that had surfaced a few days ago for some reason, a memory different from the one he had heard before.
The time in that memory was sometime in the Fourth Age. On that day, Amon caused a great commotion for some reason, apparently fighting with His brother Adam and the mysteriously resurrected Medici.
As Amon's enemy, Pales naturally paid close attention to Amon's movements. So after learning about this, Pales investigated the specific situation and eventually learned from Urolius, who was his colleague at the time, that Amon had an older brother named Rosen Nicholas.
But the memory ends there. In that memory, Pales had never seen this person, and he couldn't even find out from Urolius what path or sequence the other person had taken.
Pales, who had acquired this memory, naturally did not immediately connect it to the idea that his past had been altered, as that was too incredible. The Goddess of the Night could immediately connect it because she herself was also a "time traveler." Pales, as a traditionalist who preferred to stay put, was more inclined to believe that his memories had been modified by an unknown entity.
So these past few days, Palles has been repeatedly checking his memory and trying to recall who Rosen Nicholas really is, but he hasn't been able to find out.
Meeting the other party in person today only added to Pales's suspicion and uncertainty.
Because the other party felt too close to Amon. This closeness was not only in terms of personality, but also in terms of a subtle feeling of being suppressed when facing the uniqueness of this path.
Will Amon's uniqueness be stolen by his brother?
Pales thought subtly, secretly plotting how to escape while also feeling a sense of schadenfreude at this speculation.
"Why would I bother with that?" Rosen glanced at him and said with a smile, "It's Amon's business to want to become the Lord of Mysteries. I have other candidates for the Mysteries I desire."
"I wonder who you have chosen as the Lord of Mysteries? Do I know him?" Pales asked tentatively.
"What do I think?" Rosen smiled broadly, then raised his hand to adjust the monocle on his face.
The next second, Pales, who had already grabbed Leonard and was running away, was suddenly slammed down under a mountain of books along with Leonard.
The reason for this result is not simply that Rosen uses knowledge as power, but rather the combination of the uniqueness of the thief and the source castle. Whether it works well through other means is unknown, but it can catch the three thieves one by one.
After all, this is how things work in this world: the higher the level of power, the more it crushes those below it.
"What are you afraid of? I already told you I didn't intend to arrest you," Rosen said with a grin, crossing his legs.
But you clearly captured me, and that force...
Pales was silent for a few seconds, clearly having made a connection to something. After a moment, he gave a wry smile and said sincerely, "I'm sorry, I was overthinking it. After all, the power you possess is too similar to the uniqueness of the Thief, making it hard not to overthink."
"Be confident. Remove the similarities, and that's the power of the thief's uniqueness." Rosen said with a smile, making no attempt to hide anything. "I've already said I'm Amon's brother, so His power is naturally my power as well."
So Amon lent his unique power to his brother? When did Amon become so good?
Pales stared wide-eyed in disbelief, unable to comprehend that Amon could be so brotherly and respectful.
"Of course He doesn't want to lend it to me, but unfortunately, His word doesn't count." Rosen, of course, could see what Pales was thinking and explained without hesitation, "After all, I'm the older brother, so the control of the power is naturally in my hands!"
Pales: ? !!! !
Pales was deeply shocked at that moment, and at the same time, a feeling of schadenfreude welled up from the bottom of his heart, which can be summarized as follows—
Ah Meng, you've finally met your match, hahaha!
Although he didn't know why, even though Amon was the sole owner of the thief's identity, the power was not in his hands, it didn't stop Pales from being genuinely happy about this at this moment.
Rosen could easily see Pales's gloating, and he wasn't surprised at all. He just stared at the old man for a few seconds before suddenly asking, "When did you find out about me?"
This question clearly startled Pales. After a moment's consideration, he said, "I just recalled memories related to you a few days ago. Are you preparing to stop hiding yourself and participate in this struggle?"
Rosen blinked, understanding what Pales was saying. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "So that's how it is. You think I asked the darkness to conceal my past, and now I plan to come out of seclusion, kill you all, and become that Lord of Mysteries?"
Is not it?
Pales thought to himself, it's no wonder He thought that way. After all, the Goddess of Night had secret authority, while Rosen possessed the uniqueness of the Thief and the power of the Source Castle. Combined with the fact that Rosen was clearly the son of the Sun God, yet this was little known, it was hard not to suspect that they were secretly allied and planning something big.
Especially when considering the recently launched Church of the Fools, Pales felt even more certain that he had guessed correctly.
"You know what, it makes a lot of sense." Rosen nodded, put down the book in his hand, and said, "Unfortunately, I'm not interested in the location of the Mysterious One, nor am I that Fool, but I do have a good relationship with Him."
real or fake?
Pales was clearly skeptical of Rosen's words, but he didn't show it. He simply pondered for a moment and said, "So, you support that fool?"
Others may not know the meaning of the name Fool, but how could Pales, as the angel of thieves, not know that Fool is the title of the 0th sequence of the Diviner's Path?
To be honest, Pales was genuinely startled when the three major churches suddenly joined forces to support the Fool a few days ago. After all, in his mind, the closest being to the Fool was Antigonus, the angel king who once contained the Fool's uniqueness. Now, Antigonus had gone out of control and become a monster, and was imprisoned by the goddess of night. It was unlikely that he would suddenly receive the support of the three gods.
So after learning of the Fool's existence, Pales was puzzled for a long time, not knowing who the Fool was, and he still hasn't come up with a concrete answer.
It couldn't possibly be Zarathustra, could it? As far as He knows, that one's gone mad too!
