Above the gray fog, Klein heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the City of Silver's expedition team had embarked on their return journey without any changes to the Giant King's palace. He leaned back in his chair in exhaustion.
After nearly two hours of observation, his spirituality was close to its limit. He could at most last another fifteen minutes.
Regardless, the harvest this time has completely exceeded my imagination. It's only right to give the Silver Knight potion formula to the City of Silver. Klein rubbed his forehead as his thoughts began to wander. Grasping these ancient secrets will be of great help to my digestion after my advancement. The problem now is that my Bizarro Sorcerer potion hasn't been completely digested …
From the feedback I've received over this period of time, I can tell that the spread of all sorts of ghost stories is indeed quite effective. Once Miss Magicians completes the manuscript and publishes it, it should be done after some time.
However, she only started writing a few days ago. I wonder when she'll finish writing …
Why can't she write for a few more hours a day?
When I pick her up, I'll urge her …
With this in mind, Klein suddenly recalled something. He hadn't given Anderson the reward for finding Vice Admiral Ailment.
I'll wait until he helps Dhaniz become a Conspirer. That's one of the agreements anyway … The advancement ritual of an Iron-blooded Knight isn't difficult, but it's not simple either. It's especially troublesome for a Hunter … This actually requires a Hunter who's good at provoking and scheming to form a team of at least thirty people. I have to nurture a deep camaraderie with them, allowing them to become stronger one after another and have great teamwork. They will be able to understand the intentions of a Hunter through their eyes and actions, making them nearly one with each other. Then, they will form a ritual … The higher the strength and rapport of the team, the better the ritual's effects …
Seeing that the City of Silver's expedition team had returned in an orderly manner without any accidents, Klein finally felt relieved. He left the world above the gray fog, threw himself into bed, and fell asleep.
…
At the Afternoon Town camp, after a period of rest, Derrick Berg finally recovered. His face was no longer as pale as before.
Just as he finished eating the bread made from Black-Faced Grass powder, a figure appeared in the shadows outside the door.
"Derrick, the Chief is looking for you."
"Yes." He stood up instinctively. "Thank you."
He was going to look for the Chief and hand over the potion formula of the Silver Knight.
After watching the messenger retreat into the shadows, he walked out of the room and arrived at the campsite that was illuminated by the bonfire.
At a glance, Derrick saw many team members who hadn't participated in the expedition gathered together in twos and threes, discussing something in low voices excitedly.
They already knew that the Giant King's Court could see the sea, so they knew that it wasn't too far from the sea. As long as they found the right path, it wouldn't take long for them to arrive.
This was an important step for the City of Silver to save itself after discovering the outsider, Jack.
The residents of the City of Silver, who mainly relied on Dawn and the Light of Dawn, finally saw the light of dawn.
The long wait and persistence seemed to be about to pay off.
Derrick could understand the feelings of his team members because he was the same. However, having heard all sorts of things about the ruins of the battle of gods from The World's German Sparrow, he knew very well that the sea wasn't simple. It would probably be extremely difficult to head to the other side of the sea.
Ignoring everything else, just Dark Angel Sasrir, who was sleeping in the Giant King's palace and blocking the key path, was a problem that couldn't be overcome at the moment.
I can only hope that Mr. Fool will bless me. Yes, for that boy to appear in the ruins of the temple means that there are other paths that can bypass the Giant King's palace and reach the sea … Derrick thought hopefully as he circled around the quietly burning bonfire and walked to the Chief's room on the other side.
Suddenly, he saw a person sitting silently in the shadow of a boulder.
It was a man in his twenties, much taller than Derrick. He held a pale gold bracelet with three small bells hanging on it, and his eyes were unfocused.
Derrick wasn't unfamiliar with this man. He knew that he was Antiona's husband, Dolores, a Sequence 6 Dawn Paladin.
In the City of Silver, before the age of eighteen, one could freely fall in love until marriage. And if one didn't have a spouse by the age of eighteen, one would be arranged. It was the same for those who had been widowed for three years.
This was a necessary measure to ensure the population of the City of Silver. It seemed against human nature, but for the continuation of the entire race in the Land of Darkness, this was the only way. Furthermore, this could also ensure that everyone had a certain number of close relatives, preventing them from mutating into terrifying evil spirits after death.
As for Dolores and Antiona, they were neighbors who lived on the same street. They had known each other since they were young and had a good impression of each other. Finally, they fell in love when they were teammates in the patrol team. Step by step, they became husband and wife, and their relationship was very deep.
Considering that their children were still young, Colin Iliad had deliberately left one behind during the exploration of the Giant King's Court.
On the one hand, Derrick felt that there was nothing wrong with the Chief's arrangements, but on the other hand, he felt a strong sense of sorrow from Dolores's performance. It was as if he had returned to the state when he had to personally stab his parents to death.
From the beginning to the end of the exploration, it only took half a day, but to Dolores, everything was different.
After a moment of silence, Derrick retracted his gaze and continued forward. His footsteps unconsciously became heavier.
At the same time, he thought of a rumor:
Shepherd Elder Lovia once had a husband, but he had died during an exploration. This was originally a very common matter that wasn't worth discussing at all. However, apart from Lovia, the entire team that explored the ruins of the temple had "gone crazy." After they were eliminated, a rumor gradually spread among the residents of the City of Silver:
During that exploration, Elder Lovia had eaten her husband!
The "night" with very low lightning frequency made the wind a little cold. Derrick shivered and focused his attention back on what was in front of him.
He took a few quick steps and arrived at his destination. He raised his hand and knocked on the Chief's door.
"Come in," Colin Iliad said without any abnormality in his voice.
Derrick pushed open the door and entered. He saw the Chief in a linen shirt and a dark coat wiping the two swords with grease.
Colin Iliad didn't stop. He raised his head and looked at Derrick, who was at the door.
He looked up at Derrick and asked, "What are your thoughts on this exploration?"
What's the purpose of the Chief's question? Having been influenced by The Hanging Man, Alger, Derrick subconsciously had this thought.
He was unable to grasp the Chief's exact intentions, so all he could do was close the door and frankly answer, "There might be other paths to the sea.
"There might be another way to the seaside. The Giant King's palace should be very important, but it's too dangerous. We need more information."
Colin Iliad nodded and asked, "There might be other paths to the sea.
Was the conspiracy of the Kings of Angels and those existences in the name of deities to resist the Lord?
"And this success resulted in the abandonment of this land?"
Although Derrick had never directly heard of such a deduction, it wasn't difficult for him to come to a similar conclusion based on the various secrets he had learned on the Tarot.
"Yes, that should be the case."
Colin fell silent. Even his movements of wiping the swords slowed down.
After a few seconds, he put down the items in his hand and took two steps forward.
"Those who participated in the conspiracy are still active on the other side of the sea?"
After a moment of silence, Derrick deliberated before replying,
"Most of them.
"But not too active."
Colin Iliad nodded, indicating that he had nothing else to ask.
Derrick hurriedly said, "That's right.
"Chief, when Light Slayer Murskogan died, I obtained the incomplete formula of the Silver Knight potion, including the supplementary ingredients and the advancement ritual."
When he said that, Derrick knew that his lie was too fake and could be seen through at a glance, because he didn't even dare to open his eyes.
However, he still couldn't think of a better excuse.
If Mr. The Hanging Man were here, he would definitely have a better solution … Just as this thought surfaced in his mind, he heard the Chief speak slowly.
"Very good, what is it?"
After being stunned for a second, Derrick hurriedly explained the corresponding ritual and the supplementary materials in its entirety.
After Demon Hunter Colin listened quietly, he let out a long sigh and said, "Your contribution this time is very great.
This is of great importance to the City of Silver. In the future, our upper limit will be Sequence 3, not Sequence 4. Within a certain range, the risks encountered by the exploration team will be greatly reduced. "
Why is the risk encountered by the exploration team within a certain range reduced when the upper limit is Sequence 3 … As Derrick was happy that he had made such a contribution, he found it difficult to understand the Chief's words.
However, he knew that this was knowledge that he wasn't qualified to understand. He planned on asking about it at the Tarot Gathering later.
He then bade farewell and turned to open the door.
"Derrick …" Colin Iliad suddenly shouted at him.
Derrick turned his head in puzzlement and realized that the Chief's expression was rather solemn.
Colin fell silent for a moment before shaking his head.
"Be careful of Lovia."
"Yes, Your Excellency," Derrick replied from the bottom of his heart.
…
Baekeland, North Borough.
Hazel rode a carriage back to the city from Moose Manor. She planned on heading to the Rouen Charity Bursary Foundation to meet Miss Audrey to discuss the donation and help.
After interacting with her many times, she had a very good impression of this noble lady. She felt that there wasn't any pressure around her, and the strange emotions that had accumulated in her heart had dissipated quite a bit. She gradually recovered many of her forgotten memories.
I should have a teacher … What exactly happened that day? I shudder every time I try to recall it … Hazel cast her gaze out the window in melancholy.
Her carriage was passing by Böklund Street.
At this moment, a man dressed as a postman rode a bicycle past her in a rather relaxed manner.
Hazel casually sized him up and saw a monocle on his right eye.
