The moment she heard The Fool's question, Audrey pricked up her ears and entered her Spectator state, waiting for Sun to answer.
She had always been curious about where the City of Silver was and what was so special about it, but she was too embarrassed to ask. After all, it involved his privacy.
At this moment, Mr. Fool's personal inquiry made her feel like she finally had the chance to buy the next volume after finishing the first volume of an excellent detective novel!
And Sun's answer didn't disappoint her. They didn't believe in the seven mainstream orthodox deities, nor did they believe in the Southern Continent's Death, much less the hidden existences and evil gods and devils that The Hanging Man had told her about, such as the Primordial Demoness, the Hidden Sage, the Dark Side of the Universe, the Chained God, and the True Creator.
The City of Silver is indeed very special! They actually directly believe in the Creator himself! This is the primitive worship described by Mr. The Hanging Man, right? Hmm, the description of omniscience and omnipotence is a little strange … Audrey subconsciously turned her head to look at The Hanging Man and realized that he was indeed nodding slightly.
Klein wasn't surprised at all as he deliberately chuckled and asked,
He deliberately chuckled and asked, "Even though 'He' abandoned you?"
Abandoned? The Creator abandoned the City of Silver? The Hanging Man Alger was shocked as he instantly thought of a proper term:
"The Forsaken Land of the Gods!"
In the internal information of the Church of the Lord of Storms, in the secrets that a bishop-level "captain" like Alger could come into contact with, the Forsaken Land of the Gods was always just a name without any specific description. However, it clearly pointed to the end of the Sonia Sea. According to what he knew, even the cardinals who were at the core of the Church didn't know what the Forsaken Land of the Gods represented. Only the leader of the Church, the Proxy of the Lord of Storms, knew a little about the situation. Furthermore, he seemed to be secretly presiding over a secret operation to find the Forsaken Land of the Gods.
Alger had once made a bold guess, equating the True Creator's holy residence that the Aurora Order promoted with the Forsaken Land of the Gods. Unfortunately, The Fool didn't give him an answer, making him unable to confirm it.
And now, he was shocked and stunned to discover that the Tarot member codenamed Sun was very likely from the Forsaken Land of the Gods!
Mr. Fool always knew where the Forsaken Land of the Gods was, and he was able to recruit members from there? This was a secret place that the Church of the Lord of Storms had always wanted to find!
The Hanging Man Alger looked at The Fool, who was sitting at the end of the long ancient table, in horror. He saw The Fool leaning back in his chair, shrouded in a thick fog, as though he didn't say a word.
Audrey didn't have any thoughts on this matter. The only time she had heard of the Forsaken Land of the Gods was because of the problem with The Hanging Man. However, she didn't take it to heart, so she couldn't make any connections from Mr. Fool's words.
There's a legend that the City of Silver was abandoned by the Creator … Eh, Mr. The Hanging Man's emotions are in turmoil … What is he surprised and afraid about? Audrey nodded in puzzlement and memorized the details of this moment.
"Yes, we all believe that we will eventually be able to obtain the Lord's favor again. Perhaps it will be the day the Sun rises again," Derrick Berg replied with a firm tone. "We were once ruled by the Giant King's Court, and we believed in the Giant King, Aurmir. Later, we received the Lord's redemption, and we will never betray the Lord again."
Ruled by the Giant King's Court … It's indeed ancient … but it doesn't seem to match … With a guess, The Hanging Man Alger immediately thought of the description of the Second Epoch in the Book of Storms's hidden chapter.
And the Second Epoch was also known as the Dark Epoch of humanity. At that time, the main characters of the sky, sea, and land were dragons, giants, elves, mutants, devils, phoenixes, demonic wolves, and undead spirits. But in the end, the Lord of Storms, the Eternal Blazing Sun, and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom led humanity to defeat these Beyonder creatures one by one, ushering in the Glorious Era at the beginning of the Third Epoch, followed by the so-called Cataclysm.
The Giant King, Aurmir … Klein silently repeated this name.
In many myths and legends, this was a powerful existence comparable to a god. Even to this day, there were still remnants of his worship in certain places. For example, the most famous and expensive wine in the Republic of Intis was named "Aurmir." It was said that this Giant King loved blood-like wine.
Considering that the complete Sequence that the Church of the God of Combat grasped, which was the Warrior Sequence, once belonged to the Giant King's Court, could it be considered that Aurmir was the ancient God of Combat? Klein made a guess.
He deliberately nodded his head and did not delve into this matter. Instead, he slowly said in a low voice,
Instead, he said in a low voice, "Are you still 'sacrificing' to that omnipotent and omniscient god?"
"Yes, we're still here, but we haven't received a response since the day we were abandoned." The Sun's tone contained an unconcealable pain.
Klein leaned back even more leisurely and half-closed his eyes.
"Describe the process of your sacrifice in detail."
Mr. Fool wants to figure out the truth behind the abandonment of the City of Silver? Or could it be that "He" wants to determine if the Creator still "exists?" The Hanging Man Alger suddenly felt an electric current pass through his body as his entire body trembled.
Not only was he afraid, but he was also excited because he believed that he was in contact with the secrets of the deities!
This made him feel as though his level had been elevated!
Didn't I work hard to pursue authority and power to obtain this feeling? Alger leaned back slightly and raised his chin slightly as he thought in an intoxicated manner.
Mr. The Hanging Man's mental state isn't quite normal … Audrey looked at him with pity.
She finally understood that the exchange between Mr. Fool and The Sun might be hiding some shocking secret that even made The Hanging Man lose his composure.
When Zillinges's request is over, I'll pay the reward and exchange it from Mr. The Hanging Man for what he learned today … I wonder if he's willing … Audrey thought with some anticipation and worry.
However, Sun didn't find anything amiss as he answered honestly, "We built a magnificent altar with the symbol of the Lord engraved on it.
"We've built a grand altar with the symbol of the Lord engraved all over it. Every time the Black-Faced Grass is harvested, we'll hold a sacrificial ceremony.
"We will capture monsters from the depths of the darkness as sacrifices. After we finish reciting the honorific name of the Lord and the corresponding prayers, and dance to please 'Him,' we will kill the monsters, allowing their spirituality or taint blood to stain the entire altar. If we can't capture the monsters, we will use the sinners at the bottom of the City of Silver's prison to replace them."
"Following that, we will make the first tuft of Black-Faced Grass into food and offer it to the Lord."
"Finally, the ritual will end amidst our chorus of praises."
As I plan on attempting to "sacrifice" myself, I'm not picky about the timing. The altar will be simple … The most important part is to use the monsters' spirituality or Beyonder power to open a passageway and complete the sacrifice. Of course, the premise is that I can get a response? How extravagant … Klein used his knowledge of mysticism to analyze every step of the City of Silver's sacrificial ritual.
Finally, he asked, "What's the corresponding prayer? What language did you use to chant it? "
Derrick was also looking forward to receiving a hint from Mr. Fool on how to extricate himself from the curse as he carefully recalled.
"We're using Jotun, which is also our common language."
"Your faithful believers pray for your attention;"
"We pray for you to accept their offerings;"
"We pray for you to accept their offerings;"
"We pray for you to open the door to your kingdom."
…
Klein listened silently and deliberately let the gray fog around him slowly swirl. He nodded thoughtfully without saying a word.
As for what he could tell, he obviously wouldn't say …
The Hanging Man Alger felt that it was normal. How could a deity's secrets be directly revealed to mortals? Sun was determined to grow quickly and strive to obtain something that Mr. Fool was interested in as soon as possible so that he could exchange pointers from him.
After a short exchange, Klein ended today's gathering and watched Justice, The Hanging Man, and Sun disappear before his eyes.
He looked down and saw the endless gray fog and crimson stars that seemed to never change.
However, after advancing to Sequence 8, he realized that he could connect to even more stars, which also meant that he could recruit more members.
At least two … Klein nodded indiscernibly.
He wasn't in a hurry to increase the number of members. He planned to wait and observe like before. If Justice and The Hanging Man had any recommendations, he would take the test first.
I've seen a pure crystal ball in front of The Sun when he prays a few times in the past. However, after I pulled him above the gray fog, the crystal ball never appeared again … Could it be that the prerequisite for me to use the crimson star to pull someone over is that the other party has a special item by their side? Or could it be that every crimson star corresponds to an item in the real World, and once the connection is completed, it will return to the gray fog?
I wonder if Miss Justice and Mr. The Hanging Man are the same … Let's assume that this guess is true. Then, if someone without such a special item were to chant 'The Fool that doesn't belong to this era, the mysterious ruler above the gray fog, the King of Yellow and Black who wields good luck,' allowing me to hear his prayers, would I be able to pull them in?
I can give it a try in the future …
Klein didn't stay any longer. He enveloped himself with his spirituality and simulated the feeling of plummeting, leaving only the towering palace, the ancient long table, and the twenty-two high-back chairs standing silently above the gray fog.
He had already grasped the overflowing power of the Clown potion and eliminated the corresponding negative effects. Therefore, he was now attempting the ritual to summon himself!
