The Lord that created everything … The omnipotent and omniscient God … Klein leaned back and maintained his profound posture as he repeated the keywords in the youth's words.
He was no stranger to the Lord that created everything. The Book of Storms, The Revelation of Evernight, and the Creator in folklore had a similar title. The True Creator that secret organizations like the Aurora Order believed in also had the same description.
However, this was the first time Klein had heard of an omniscient and omnipotent god in this World. Be it the Evernight Goddess, the Lord of Storms, or the God of Steam and Machinery, none of them claimed to be omniscient or omnipotent.
If the City of Silver is really in the Forsaken Land of the Gods, and the Forsaken Land of the Gods really belongs to this World, then "omnipotent and omniscient god" might be the honorific the living beings of ancient times had for the Creator … Klein looked at the youth in front of him thoughtfully, looking at the color of his sorrowful and pained emotions.
Derrick felt The Fool's gaze and subconsciously lowered his head.
He recalled the contents of the books and the legends told by his parents, and said slowly and sorrowfully,
"When the Sun disappeared from the sky, when the clouds were torn apart, when lightning and thunder became the rulers, the monsters hiding in the depths of the darkness suddenly appeared. They were so terrifying and unimaginable that they destroyed one city after another in the Kingdom of Silver … The 'Dark Age' of mankind has arrived."
"The remaining powerhouses gathered in the City of Silver. Relying on their united strength and two mystical items, they finally managed to defend against the attack of the Thing of Darkness. They gradually cleared out the area within a day's journey of ordinary humans and established a city-state that protected the last remnants of human civilization."
A textbook explanation … Klein couldn't help but comment in his heart.
The man's description made him feel like the City of Silver was in a different World from the Northern Continent.
Perhaps this was the uniqueness of the Forsaken Land of the Gods? He thought without showing any emotion on his face.
Derrick took a deep breath and continued, "Don't worry.
"In the first few decades, plants couldn't grow, and the City of Silver had a severe lack of food. They could only rely on hunting dark monsters and mutated animals to fill their stomachs. The population began to decline uncontrollably. Fortunately, we later found Black-Faced Grass. It was able to survive in such an environment and became our reliable and stable source of food."
"It was believed to be the final blessing left behind by the great God. It allowed the City of Silver to persevere generation after generation, lasting 2,582 years in the Dark Age."
"This is the time recorded by the past Chiefs. The other citizens of the City of Silver consider it day when there is more lightning, and consider it night when there is less lightning. The alternation is a day … Because it's often chaotic, we can't grasp the exact number of days."
What a strange place … Klein was glad that he didn't take it for granted that it would be tomorrow, but rather vaguely described it as the next two days.
After briefly describing a few things in the history of the City of Silver that were worth remembering, he said, "After the population recovered to a certain extent, the number of Beyonders also increased.
"After the population recovered to a certain extent, the number of Beyonders also increased. The six-member council began to organize elite teams to explore the darkness. Recently, to this day, we've already explored the original territory and the nearby cities. We're heading deeper into the deeper and more terrifying darkness. At the periphery, we discovered quite a number of cities with strange styles that had been destroyed. We suspect that they were shelters built by the remaining humans. Unfortunately, they were ultimately devoured by the Thing of Darkness."
The Things of Darkness he's describing should be referring to the various unimaginable monsters hidden in the depths of the darkness … Klein nodded indiscernibly.
"… The Kingdom of Silver was once under the rule of the Giant King's Court, so the Beyonder chain we have is the Giant pathway. We also call it the Divine Blood Warrior pathway … When we killed some monsters and explored the destroyed cities, we obtained some potion formulas of other Sequences. However, the chain isn't complete. It's more or less incomplete." Derrick began to introduce the current situation of the City of Silver.
Hearing this, Klein suddenly became spirited. Although his posture didn't change, he was obviously more focused.
I love to understand things related to Sequence potions! The Giant King's Court … The City of Silver shares the same history as the Northern Continent? The history of the Second Era … Hmm, killing monsters would drop recipes? Was this a game? No, there's another possibility. Those monsters were once humans, Beyonders … Klein suddenly felt a little heavy.
Seeing that The Fool didn't say anything, Derrick gritted his teeth and deliberated.
"The potion formulas of the Giant pathway are Sequence 9 Beyonder Warrior, Sequence 8 Gladiator, Sequence 7 Weapon Master, Sequence 6 Dawn Paladin, Sequence 5 Guardian, and Sequence 4 Demon Hunter. The higher Sequences are only known by the Elders of the six-member council."
Sequence 4 Demon Hunter … This is the name of a High-Sequence potion formula? This is the first time I've heard of such a thing! Klein felt gratified that he had finally grasped the "title" of a High-Sequence Beyonder, but he suspected that it was an ancient name. It was different from the current description in the Northern Continent, just like the difference between a Storm Priest and a Seafarer.
Yes, Beyonder Warrior, Gladiator, Weapon Master … It sounds a little familiar … Right, the complete Sequence that the Church of the God of Combat has is very similar! Sequence 9 Warrior, Sequence 8 Pugilist, Sequence 7 Weapon Master! Due to confidentiality issues, Klein only knew the names of the first three formulas of the Church of the God of Combat's complete Sequence, but that didn't stop him from equating the two.
From the core meaning, it's basically the same … The complete Sequence that the Church of the God of Combat has is the so-called Giant pathway … It's said that this deity that appeared in the Third Epoch, which is the Cataclysm Epoch, inherited the legacy of the Giant King's Court? Or is "He" an ancient giant himself? As Klein made his analysis and judgment, he maintained his "indifferent" gaze.
Derrick continued with the introductions.
"After the initial difficulties, the City of Silver has always been ruled by a six-member council. The Elder with the highest position is addressed as Chief, while the other five are equal … The current six-member ceremonial council is made up of three Demon Hunters, two Guardians with the greatest potential, and a Shepherd."
F * ck, the City of Silver has three High-Sequence Beyonders! A Demigod and Half-Human expert! Just one of them alone would be enough to destroy Tarot a few hundred times … Klein felt a little guilty when he heard that. He had never tried to "pull someone" under the nose of a High-Sequence Beyonder.
However, considering that the youth in front of him was only an ordinary person and wasn't even a Sequence 9, he was certain that he wouldn't receive the attention of a high-ranking person for a long period of time.
Shepherd. Is that from another Sequence? Those incomplete Sequences … It sounds very similar to the style of the Aurora Order. Th-that member of the Aurora Order, whose name I've forgotten, kept mentioning the Lord's Lamb in his letter to Mr. Z … Klein maintained his leisurely posture and asked casually, "What's the matter with the Lord?
"Shepherd?"
"Yes, this is the Sequence pathway we found from the cities that were destroyed by the Things of Darkness. It's only Sequence 5 Shepherd, but — but Elder Lovia is very powerful, very strange, and very terrifying. It's said that she once fought against a High-Sequence evil spirit without being injured. Therefore, when a seat in the six-member council became vacant, she made an exception and became an Elder," Derrick answered with a hint of fear.
Klein thought for a moment and asked with a smile,
"What's the previous Sequence to Shepherd? I'm familiar with it. As you know, there are always differences between historical and modern names. "
"In the City of Silver, the name of the potion has never changed," Derrick retorted instinctively, then he lowered his head and said, "Sequence 9 Secrets Suppliant …"
As expected! Klein was satisfied that his conjecture had been confirmed.
This was the name of the Sequence 9 of the Aurora Order!
"Sequence 8 Whisperer, Sequence 7 Hermit Ascetic, Sequence 6 Rose Priest, Sequence 5 Shepherd." Derrick recounted everything he knew.
Whisperer, Listener, about the same … Heh, I know more than the Tingen branch of the Nighthawks … Klein was in a good mood as he gestured for Derrick to continue.
Derrick briefly described the current situation in the City of Silver. In the end, he couldn't help but mention, "We are under the curse of fate.
Be it an ordinary person or a Beyonder, they will turn into evil spirits after death. However, the evil spirits that Beyonders turn into are more strange, more terrifying, and more difficult to deal with. In history, this curse has nearly destroyed the City of Silver several times. The only way to resolve it is for someone of the same bloodline to personally end the life of the deceased. "
"What a cruel matter. I hope you can become stronger and find a way to free the citizens of the City of Silver from the curse." The Fool Klein, who was just an empty shell, could only give him free chicken soup.
"So, I want to become the Sun, become the Sun … When the Sun shines on the land, we didn't encounter any curse," Derrick muttered with great difficulty and pain.
Klein nodded slightly and said, "You will have the chance.
"You will have the chance. Remember, in the next two days, I will pull you into this place at any time. Try to avoid being with other people."
"Alright," Derrick replied in a deep voice.
"Before that, you need to confirm your code name." Klein smiled as he pointed to the surface of the long bronze table. A deck of tarot cards had already appeared there.
He believed that Derrick definitely hadn't come into contact with such things, so he gave a brief introduction and said, "Choose a card as your code name, excluding The Fool, Justice, and The Hanging Man."
Derrick took two steps forward, flipped through the tarot cards, and said without hesitation, "That's right.
Without any hesitation, he said, "'Sun.' I choose 'Sun.'"
"Remember your choice. It will accompany you for the rest of your life," Klein said in a familiar tone of a charlatan.
At the same time, he stretched out his hand and severed the connection with great self-control. He then watched the crimson light retract as the youth in front of him turned into a phantom and dissipated bit by bit.
