The "Old Man" implanted within Trissy’s mind was still rely one of Ebner’s "Wisdom Eyes", and there was no essential difference between it and the "Life Turnaround System" he had placed on Cattleya’s ship.
The difference, however, was that although this "Wisdom Eye" was likewise not very strong in terms of power, its level was sufficiently high.
That was because it had been overlaid by Ebner with a secret art based on the extraordinary characteristic of the Trojan Horse of Destiny and Pallez’s Worm of Ti.
In addition, by using the "Collector" core ability of the "Alvin Palace" to "purchase" from Klein the usage ti of the Error Card, the "grandfather" Ebner was impersonating would not be much inferior to the real Pallez when it ca to Amon’s Convergence Effect.
Of course, Ebner would not deliberately display his own "attractiveness". On the contrary, he had to hide it with all his might, so as not to arouse Amon’s suspicion.
As for why he chose Trissy as the "host", there were mainly three reasons.
First, Ebner had never had much compassion for Demonesses. Aside from that "Gourt Blessed" who was being raised by Mr. Fool, they were basically all drenched in blood, so even if she were ultimately "played to ruin" by Amon, he wouldn’t feel guilty.
Second, Trissy’s speed of Sequence advancent was fast enough, which perfectly matched the condition of bearing an "old grandfather". Before she was caught, Amon would most likely not harbor too many suspicions.
Third, as a Demoness seeking revenge against the Loen royal family, Trissy should be very willing to draw a terrifying enemy like Amon toward the Augustus family. Even if she didn’t think of it herself for the mont, as the "old grandfather", he would give such a suggestion.
Of course, these three were only the main reasons. As for other secondary reasons, such as "possessing a pretty young girl is more pleasing to the eye than possessing a rough man", they didn’t need to be ntioned. These were all lessons Ebner had learned from that sailor nad John on Cattleya’s ship.
At this ti, Trissy had already recovered from the shock of seeing the Blasphemy Card for the first ti. She carefully examined the projected "Demoness Card" that Ebner had produced, frowned, and asked,
"Why isn’t there a formula after Sequence 2?"
Ebner laughed in Pallez’s voice and said, "Young people shouldn’t blindly pursue goals that are too high and too far. You’ve only just beco a Demoness of Affliction."
Naturally, that was sothing he had deliberately hidden. After all, rely the act of "knowing" the formulas above the angel level of the Demoness pathway could very likely disturb the sleeping Cheek.
"That makes sense..." Trissy nodded. Then she narrowed her slender eyes and spoke again, "I’m preparing to investigate the royal family’s captain of the palace guards, Viscount Stratford. Do you have any suggestions?"
"I suggest you stay away from this matter. It’s very dangerous," Ebner answered very "honestly".
After all, he was currently playing the role of "Pallez", and on the surface he had to do his best to avoid trouble and not reveal any flaws.
"Old Man, it seems you know sothing about this matter," Trissy said aningfully.
"Don’t ask any more about it. I won’t say anything, because that would carry the risk of exposing ," Ebner said with great seriousness.
Although Trissy was sowhat unwilling to let it go, she ultimately didn’t dare to truly anger this "Angel" who was "parasitizing" her.
Don’t be fooled by how easygoing he seed. Who knew whether in the next mont he might directly seize both her body and her mind? After all, according to what she knew, there was nothing good about ’Parasites’.
"I understand..." Trissy eased her tone. "I just wanted to hear your advice."
"Didn’t you already cultivate a ’Witch’ to get close to that Viscount?" Ebner asked with a smile.
"But that will take at least one or two months before it yields results..." Trissy sighed. "And I’m not even sure whether it’ll be useful."
"Actually, you can spend money to commission other people to investigate that Viscount," Ebner casually suggested.
"The only detective with the ability to take on this task is that ’Hero Detective’, Ebner Bryan!" As she spoke, Trissy shook her head. "But he’s not reliable for !
"I once hid in the sewers near his villa and personally saw the ’Saintess of Black’, the ’Saintess of Yellow’, the ’Saintess of Blue’, the ’Saintess of Gray’, and the ’Saintess of Red’ entering and leaving his ho...
"I can barely avoid these demigod Demonesses as it is. Why would I voluntarily deliver myself to them?"
You were actually able to notice high-ranking Demonesses entering and leaving my house? Even Angels of the Loen royal family couldn’t detect that, right?!
So that’s how it is. It was a special ability ’bestowed’ upon you by Cheek. No wonder you were always able to evade the pursuit of the ’Saintess of White’ in the original story.
Ebner couldn’t help but activate his Discernnt ability, and only then did he co to a realization. At the sa ti, he felt fortunate that he had chosen to "possess" Trissy before she leaked these secrets.
After that, seeing that this "old grandfather" could no longer provide any other suggestions, Trissy stopped talking and focused on mastering the new abilities she had obtained after her advancent.
In truth, her seeking advice from him had rely been a test. If this "old man" had given advice that seed "reasonable" and "feasible", she would instead have suspected his motives.
...
Inside the villa at No. 28 Kingster Street, after receiving the information transmitted back by the "Wisdom Eye", Ebner sighed and thought to himself,
Talking to soone with so many sches is really exhausting!
Fortunately, the first step of gaining ’trust’ has been taken. Overall, it went fairly smoothly...
Thinking of this, he glanced once more in the direction of the North Borough, then shook his head and continued pondering,
Using Flora Jacob’s Worm of Ti as a base to implant a ’virtual personality’ into that black cat really couldn’t fool Amon...
But that was also within my expectations. It was originally just an idle piece ant to mislead Amon. From beginning to end, the real arrangent has always been on ’Trissy’.
Heh, Amon’s incarnation that entered Backlund this ti actually used the identity of an illegitimate daughter of the nobility...
Did He investigate my reputation and think I would show rcy toward a subordinate of His with a female identity?
Or did He simply find it interesting?
Or perhaps He felt that such an identity would be beneficial for His subsequent plans?
As countless thoughts spun through Ebner’s mind, boundless gray fog suddenly appeared before his eyes. Imdiately afterward, scene after scene erged in his field of vision.
The core of the images was a gigantic tree that looked as if it had been drenched in petroleum, its outstretched branches resembling arms with one bizarre object bulging out after another.
This was the Abomination, Suah.
However, Suah’s condition in the images was clearly not very good. Nearly half of the eyes on His arms had turned blood-red, and the "abdon" area of the trunk was swollen, as if sothing were being gestated inside.
The subsequent images showed Suah exerting all His strength to resist this abnormality, even going so far as to rely on the body of the Chained God to delay the corrosion.
The images quickly vanished, but Ebner’s brows knitted deeply together.
It wasn’t because of Suah’s corroded state. That had already been within his expectations.
Rather, it was because Ebner had sensed traces of Lamia’s aura at the abdominal region of the Abomination.
