Saint of Secrets Boutis … Fors had experienced quite a bit recently. She might even have been watched by a King of Angels, so she had a rather strong tolerance. At that moment, she didn't show any abnormalities as she naturally retracted her gaze. Without slowing down, she walked towards the man in the black trench coat.
After a few steps, the two of them brushed past each other.
… Did he happen to pass by here because of the attraction between Beyonder characteristics? If he knew that Teacher was here, he definitely wouldn't be so slow. Instead, he would directly "Teleport" to chase after him … Thankfully, Teacher has already boarded a carriage and left the inn … Fors's heart returned to its original position as her tense thoughts relaxed slightly.
After taking a few more steps forward, she looked up at the sky, as though to determine if it would rain later.
At this moment, a crow flew over from afar and landed on a tree, facing the spot where Fors had just passed.
Fors didn't think about the Saint of Secrets Boutis as she maintained her previous speed and left the street.
As the Aurora Order hadn't held a gathering in Baekeland for a very long time, and their target was a demigod, Fors temporarily didn't have any thoughts of avenging her teacher. Ignoring the problem of her lack of combat strength, just finding and locking onto a Secrets Sorcerer was a difficult task.
… I'll wait until I become a Traveler and have a chance encounter with Boutis before entrusting Mr. World with the corresponding mission. I'll use this period of time to save up my remuneration … Now, I can confirm one thing. The Aurora Order has a saint in Baekeland recently … Uh, I can't eliminate the possibility that Boutis was affected by the attraction between Beyonder characteristics during his "Travels" today and accidentally got lost in Baekeland … Fors naturally considered if she should seek the help of German Sparrow from The World.
As far as she knew, this gentleman had killed at least two demigods with his own hands, and he had only become a demigod for three months!
Among the upper echelons of the seven orthodox Churches, there are only about ten true demigods … According to Mr. World's progress, it'll take him at most two years to clear out the powerhouses of a Church … Of course, reality isn't such an ideal model … Fors, who had received higher education and worked as a surgeon, gradually let her thoughts wander. She walked to the side of the street and got into a rental carriage.
…
Above the gray fog, there was a small gathering with only Sun Derrick, The Hanging Man Alger, and World German Sparrow.
However, unlike previous similar situations, there was Mr. Fool as a witness this time. This was because Sun's main goal was to figure out which Sealed Artifact could please this mighty existence and exchange it for the cross left behind by the Creator.
At the same time, he also had some questions he wanted to ask Mr. The Hanging Man and Mr. World, so he applied for this private exchange.
Sword of Silver Dawn, Twilight Mask, Life's Cane, Fallen Flute … These are all items that have outstanding abilities and negative effects. They need to be sealed. This also means that the City of Silver doesn't have any Beyonders of the Artisan pathway. All their harvests can only be formed naturally. Even if there's a god-level Sealed Artifact that can shatter their characteristics, there's no way to reassemble them … As The Fool Klein listened to Little Sun's description, he quickly analyzed the pros and cons of different Sealed Artifacts.
The first thing he eliminated was the Twilight Mask. This was because the negative effects of the Sealed Artifact that originated from the former Chief of the City of Silver were too great.
Although Klein could get his marionette to wear the mask and cut off the connection to his hearing, thus avoiding the incessant screams and roars, and he didn't have to worry that his marionette, who was essentially his item, would become a slave to the Twilight Mask, if that were to happen, his actual body would become one of the people who died for no apparent reason.
Following that, Klein gave up on the Fallen Flute for the same reason. The Sealed Artifact's ability to predict danger ahead of time was indeed better than the Desire Apostle in Creeping Hunger. It was tempting, but the negative effects weren't that easy to avoid.
If Klein's actual body were to use the flute, he would gradually turn cold and lose his normal emotions. This was completely contradictory to his philosophy of using his humanity to resist godhood and maintain balance. And if he were to hand it over to his marionette, his actual body would suffer the obvious decline in the thinking abilities of the surrounding living beings, making it easy for him to make mistakes. This would cause the core advantage of the Seer pathway to be lost.
In addition, this flute will cause the people in the area to fall into depravity. Desires will flow through them. I don't wish for the people of Böklund Street to become a race of revelers who abandon their morals. When the time comes, who knows how many illegitimate children will be born … I can only consider the Sword of Silverdawn and Life's Cane … Klein mumbled silently as he quickly chose one of the two.
The head sculpture on the Sword of Silverdawn had a living characteristic. To Klein, this meant that he could communicate with it. And as long as he could communicate with it, many of the negative effects would naturally be reduced. As for the height restriction, he could ignore the thickness and just focus on the height. After all, to a Clown with extremely good balance, it didn't affect his performance.
The problem of Life's Cane causing the wielder's body to mutate could be avoided by handing it over to his marionette. Once he lost or gained any organs, he could use Flower of Blood to repair them. As for the surrounding area being filled with vitality and the flourishing of flora and fauna, it wasn't that negative.
Since the negative effects of the two Sealed Artifacts weren't too big of a problem, what he needed to consider was their use. The Sword of Silverdawn clearly came from a Demon Hunter of the Warrior pathway. Be it in terms of offense or defense, it was rather powerful. Furthermore, it could hide its malice and was good at dealing with Devils. As for Life's Cane, it was good at creating and triggering mutations. It was a rather sinister type.
After a few seconds of consideration, The Fool Klein spoke in an unhurried manner when Sun asked for an answer, as though he was discussing something ordinary.
"I'll take the cane."
He finally decided on Life's Cane!
In fact, the Sword of Silverdawn and Life's Cane each had their own strengths, so it wasn't an easy choice. Klein's final decision was based on an unusual reason:
The sinister Life's Cane was worthy of the adjective "mysterious." It could effectively help him act as a Bizarro Sorcerer and increase the speed at which the potion was digested!
"Yes, Mr. Fool!" Derrick replied, unable to hide his joy.
This meant that once the sacrificial and bestowment ritual was completed, he would obtain the cross that came from the Creator.
After confirming this matter, he cast his gaze at the figure at the bottom of the long bronze table.
"Mr. World, apart from the complete brain of an adult mind dragon, do you need a High-Sequence potion formula of the Planter pathway?"
As the matter of the Giant King's Court's secret passageway was shared with him by The World, he could only ask this person and not Mr. Fool.
Of course, from Derrick's point of view, The World was Mr. Fool's Blessed, so his answer represented Mr. Fool's intentions to a certain extent.
A High-Sequence potion formula of the Planter pathway … The Fool Klein, who was sitting at the end of the long bronze table, immediately felt a headache as he fell into an intense internal struggle.
He could roughly understand the train of thought of the City of Silver's Chief. On the one hand, this senior Demon Hunter hoped to find a bright future through the exploration of the Giant King's Court. On the other hand, he was cautious and didn't have strong expectations. He was prepared to continue holding out in the darkness. Therefore, the reason why he mentioned the Planter potion formula was mainly to see if Mr. Fool had the corresponding authority, or if certain factions "He" favored needed it. If this could bring about feedback, it would effectively improve the living environment of the City of Silver.
And on Klein's side, Frank Lee had recently sent a letter saying that his research was only one step away. Once he became a Druid, he should be able to succeed. This made Klein very hesitant about whether he should give him a push.
… I have no idea what the future will be like … Let's focus on what's in front of me. A Sequence 5 Beyonder without any godhood can't do anything too serious. Besides, Ma 'am Hermit is already a demigod. She can tell that Frank isn't too much of a problem … Klein thought for a moment and made The World's German Sparrow speak.
"Sequence 5."
"What if there's a higher one?" Sun pressed.
"…" Klein felt like he was undergoing a test as he fell silent for a few seconds.
"If you want to give it to us, that's fine too …"
"Alright." Derrick didn't ask any further and turned to the person beside him. "Mr. Hanged Man, I have a nagging feeling that this matter is a little strange. Why did the Chief suddenly mention the High-Sequence potion formula of the Planter pathway?"
The Hanging Man Alger looked at The World's German Sparrow and said,
"This should be a test by your Chief to see if he can change the environment around the City of Silver.
"I remember you mentioning before that you only know that the Goddess of Harvest is the queen of the Giant King, and according to the Sanguine records, the Goddess of Harvest's name is Omebella. Your City of Silver originally believed in 'Her.'
"I was originally certain that the name Omebella was real, and I didn't have any inclination towards other theories. Now, your Chief suddenly took out a High-Sequence potion formula of the Planter pathway that you previously didn't know about. This makes me suspect that the Moon's theory is correct.
"This means that your City of Silver has, for some reason, hidden the fact that you once believed in the Goddess of Harvest. You even deliberately didn't mention 'Her' true name.
"There must be quite a big secret hidden in this."
It's not a small secret … Derrick thought about it seriously, but he couldn't think of any secret.
Thankfully, this wasn't something too important to him. He quickly ended the private conversation and returned to the City of Silver to prepare for the exchange of Sealed Artifacts.
