If Amon gave Pallez a chance to only take his Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic, I believe Pallez would most likely agree.
It's just a pity that the Blasphemer Amon, the God of Mischief, has left such a deep impression on people that no one is willing to trust him.
Rather than eventually being caught by Amon and having his Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic forcibly taken.
It's better to actively strip the Beyonder characteristic and sell it for a good price, maximizing the profit.
Hmm... I remember Pallez's grandson, the Viscount Mobet Zoroast of the Solomon Empire.
He's currently in the book world created by Groselle's Travels, flirting with the elf Siatas.
Saving Mobet, Pallez's grandson and the only surviving member of the Zoroast Family, is a very good starting point.
Otherwise, that old grandpa, who's been nervously hiding from Amon, might just run away the moment we meet, and then I'd truly have nowhere to find him.
Hmm... the owners who were sucked into the book world in Groselle's Travels are all below the demigod level in Sequence.
The reason they immediately aged, decayed, and died upon leaving the book world was simply because their own lifespans were insufficient to allow them to survive for so long.
If they aren't even demigods, then it's possible to use the ghost frame in Amon Tomb to replenish Mobet's missing lifespan.
It's just that I don't know how much stolen life is left in that ghost frame, and if it's enough.
After all, there's a Loen soldier from over a hundred years ago, a Fourth Epoch noble, a Third Epoch ascetic, and one elf and one giant from the Second Epoch inside.
The time span between them is not just long; it's extremely long. It's also fortunate that none of them became demigods, otherwise only Amon could save them.
Suddenly, a light cough with a hint of dissatisfaction interrupted Aaron's increasingly divergent thoughts.
Varna looked at the distracted Aaron below with a touch of helplessness. Did you forget that I'm still opposite you, telling you secrets, and you're already spacing out?
Aaron immediately sobered up, bowed, and apologized:
"Ancestor, I have understood our family's secret. I will advance as soon as possible and become a Disciplinary Knight."
"I will return here, carrying the token, to search for the treasure of our Trunsoest Empire."
Varna nodded in satisfaction, looking at Aaron and slowly saying:
"Your father told me that you want to go to Backlund."
"I don't know the reason for your decision, but as the future heir of our East Chester Family, it is necessary to go out and experience the world."
"But I must inform you that Backlund is not so peaceful; you need to be mentally prepared."
Seeing Aaron bow in confirmation, he mused for a moment, and a black iron token with red rust attached to it suddenly appeared beside Aaron, emitting a faint light.
Before Aaron could ask, he began to explain:
"This is a token representing me. All Beyonders of demigod Sequence and above in the family know of this token's existence."
"Backlund's situation is ultimately complex, and your current strength is insufficient, but every demigod has their own complex matters."
"The family can only provide you with a Sequence 5 Guardian. As compensation, you can choose a Sequence 5 and several other lower-Sequence Beyonders from within the family to accompany you to Backlund."
"This token signifies that you have my approval. You can use it to ask a family demigod to act on your behalf and resolve dangers."
"If it's a normal danger or trouble, you can hold this token indefinitely."
"But if the matter you request goes against the will of that family demigod, this token will be reclaimed after he takes action."
"Do you understand?" The deep brown eyes gazed at Aaron below the platform, full of oppressive power.
Aaron, however, was somewhat accustomed to his ancestor's personality and responded obediently: "Okay, I understand."
He was also secretly excited in his heart. Although this token had many restrictions, he could at least find a demigod to help him.
If it really didn't work, he could find the Backlund demigod for ordinary matters, and for inconvenient matters, he could just ask his father, right?
He then looked at Varna on the bronze high-backed chair with anticipation.
Feeling the intense gaze from below, Varna couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.
However, he didn't disappoint Aaron and continued with a smile.
"Of course, besides these, you can also propose your own requests or ideas, such as certain Sealed Artifacts or Mystical Items."
"These can all be considered the family's and my investment in you. So, what do you want?"
Aaron pondered slightly. Sealed Artifacts? The remnants of Heavenly Venerable and God Almighty in the Nation of Disorder are already powerful enough and comprehensive enough.
So, I'm not currently lacking in Mystical Items, but I am currently lacking many Beyonder characteristics to cultivate my subordinates.
Especially those members I personally selected in the Chaos Council.
According to the plan, they should be performing the sacrifice and bestowal rituals very soon.
If I don't have anything to bestow upon them then, wouldn't I lose my divine status?
Although after arriving in Backlund and plundering Amon's Tomb, I can acquire a large number of Beyonder materials.
A distant solution won't quench an immediate thirst. Anyway, I'm not currently lacking Mystical Items, so it's better to directly ask for Beyonder characteristics, and I can even have my ancestor help me crush them and remove any potential corruption.
Moreover, a high-Sequence Beyonder characteristic generally contains lower-Sequence Beyonder characteristics, and my Sun Chaser Scepter can extract Beyonder characteristics layer by layer.
A higher-Sequence Beyonder characteristic can cultivate more Beyonders. Anyway, the negative effects of the Sun Chaser Scepter might as well be used.
Having made up his mind, Aaron looked up at Varna on the platform and said firmly:
"I want a Sequence 4 Imperative Mage Beyonder characteristic. If it exists in the form of a Sealed Artifact, I hope you can help me crush it into a Beyonder characteristic."
"I also want a Sanguine Beyonder characteristic of Sequence 6 or above."
Varna looked at Aaron below with slight surprise, seemingly astonished that he didn't ask for powerful Sealed Artifacts or Mystical Items.
Instead, he directly asked for Beyonder characteristics. While the Imperative Mage Beyonder characteristic could be understood, the Sanguine Beyonder characteristic was useless to Aaron.
He mused for a moment and nodded slightly: "Permitted."
Two crystals then appeared beside Aaron: one with golden light contained within, and the other crystal clear, like flowing blood.
He explained calmly: "These are an Imperative Mage Beyonder characteristic and a Shaman King Beyonder characteristic."
"Both of these Beyonder characteristics are part of the family's heritage, obtained by family demigods in the Southern Continent after the opening of the new sea route."
"As for the Sanguine, my advice is that you only contact them when you have sufficient strength. Strength is the foundation for dialogue."
"Within the Sanguine, only the three dukes who control the Sanguine truly know our family's identity."
"So, when to make contact? And for what reason? You need to think carefully."
