Chapter 435: The Tomb and the Bounty

Know? Klein felt overjoyed and quickly asked: "Where is it?"

He had already mentally prepared himself to pay the "consultation fee."

Sharron sat there without any superfluous movements, like a talking doll: "At a gathering Maric attended, someone once discovered the mausoleum of an ancient noble. They explored its periphery but dared not go deep, though they found traces of a Human-skinned Shadow." "They hoped to recruit a strong enough team to fully excavate the mausoleum and split the valuable items inside."

Finding helpers in a Beyonder gathering where no one knows each other well... What guarantee do both sides have that the other is trustworthy? What if there is no mausoleum at all, and it's just a preset trap? Klein's thoughts flickered as he asked in return: "Were they successful?"

"Yes." Sharron replied concisely.

"..." Klein didn't dig into the details for the moment. Lowering his voice to avoid being heard by the coachman, he asked: "And then?"

"Then, they never appeared again." Sharron described flatly. "One of the members was Maric's friend, and he completely vanished in this incident too."

Before Klein could ask again, she continued in that airy, dreamy voice: "Maric found some of his friend's belongings. I used divination to track them to White Vale. At the bend of the Straford River, I found a hidden tomb entrance. Maric's friend was inside, but he was already dead."

"You went in?" Klein blurted out.

"No, I confirmed it through another method." Sharron explained briefly. "That tomb felt very dangerous to me. I didn't attempt to explore it."

Having said this, she looked directly at Klein with her azure eyes: "If you don't have a Sequence 4 Beyonder or an equivalent Sealed Artifact as a helper, it's best not to venture deep into that mausoleum."

Even you find it dangerous... I don't need to divine above the Gray Fog to know how terrifying it must be... Klein lowered his gaze to the carriage floor, thought for a few seconds, and asked: "Do you know which ancient noble's tomb it is?"

Sharron answered without pausing: "His surname is: "Amon."

Amon? The member of the family of that Amon who inhabited a split personality inside Little Sun and almost infiltrated the mysterious space above the Gray Fog? Klein used his 'Clown' abilities to control the twitching of his eyelids and asked doubtfully: "Are you sure?"

In that instant, a figure formed in his mind: A black, classical robe, a tall, pointed hat of the same color, a broad forehead, a thin face, black eyes, black hair, wearing a pair of crystal-rimmed monocles.

Sharron's light golden hair shimmered in the light piercing through the thin mist outside the window, making her look like a masterpiece by a great artist. She said calmly as usual: "According to the items obtained from the initial exploration, a member of the gathering who specialized in ancient history judged that the tomb belonged to the Tudor Dynasty of the Fourth Epoch, and the family name was Amon."

It really is the 'Blasphemy' family of the Fourth Epoch... This family hasn't been plagued by a curse like the Abrahams, nor were they directly destroyed by a god's Church like the Antigonus family...

Based on the peculiarity and power that Amon displayed in the City of Silver, the situation of this family can probably be likened to the Zaratuls. They all inherit things secretly, all have High-Sequence beings, even those who have reached Angel Tier. They all hold certain crucial secrets, such as the 'coordinates' of the 'Land of the Forsaken God'...

The danger of a tomb left by such a family is unimaginable. Perhaps that Amon will cast his gaze over from the distant 'Land of the Forsaken God' using certain changes... One cannot judge the terror of a Half-God, effectively a demigod, through the standards of Mid or Low-Sequence Beyonders...

Klein didn't ponder for long before dispelling the possibility of exploring the Amon family mausoleum himself.

He looked up at Sharron, somewhat disappointed: "Is that the only place with the Human-skinned Shadow?"

Sharron shook her head: "No."

"Hm?" Klein's eyes lit up as he assumed an attentive posture.

Sharron's voice did not change as she said: "In a gathering I attend, there is a Beyonder who has promised that as long as someone can complete a task she sets, she will fulfill any reasonable request they make. The limit on materials is 'below High-Sequence'."

"In other words, she can give any Beyonder material below High-Sequence?" The first thought that flashed through Klein's mind was: Is she bluffing?

Even the Church of the Evernight Goddess would need the Holy Sanctuary, the Cathedral of Serenity, to have such a possibility!

And many of those materials don't need to be kept in stock because they are never used.

Faced with Klein's doubt, Sharron calmly responded: "She is a High-Sequence Beyonder."

A High-Sequence Beyonder? No wonder... Those are all top-level figures in major Churches and secret organizations. Even if she doesn't belong to any side, she will build her own power! Still, the promise of any material below High-Sequence must have some catches... Klein's mind was racing.
