The Artisan is already suspected to be under the control of a cult or secret organization, so why is he still seeking The Hermit's help? Just seek out The World directly! Who knew which sea the Future was currently floating on, or how long it would take for it to arrive? As for The World, he could "Teleport!" After hearing The Hanging Man's prayer, Klein subconsciously refuted his request, believing that it would delay the timing and cause unnecessary losses.
He then calmed down, believing that with Mr. The Hanging Man's prudence and experience, it was impossible for him to make such a simple mistake. Since he believed that getting The Hermit's help was better than getting The World to resolve the problem, there had to be a reason for it.
This also means that Mr. The Hanging Man has determined that the situation isn't urgent enough to immediately take action. He even wants to observe a little longer to find more clues and confirm more details … Furthermore, since Ma 'am Hermit has taken the initiative to offer help, it means that she believes that the area she was recently active in overlaps with Mr. The Hanging Man's. If anything were to happen, she would be able to rush over at the fastest speed possible … Or perhaps, she also has powers similar to Teleportation? But that's extremely unlikely … Klein rapped the edge of the long, mottled table with his fingers, feeling that he should trust Mr. The Hanging Man's experience.
Of course, this was also because the other party hadn't described in detail what they had discovered or what was suspicious, preventing him from guessing or divining the truth.
As his thoughts raced, Klein threw the image of The Hanging Man's prayer into the crimson star that symbolized The Hermit.
Just as he was waiting for Admiral of Stars's reply, he suddenly saw the star representing Sun begin to shrink and expand as it emitted stacked prayers.
The City of Silver's exploration of the former Chief's mausoleum has some preliminary results? With a guess in his mind, Klein emanated his spirituality over.
Just as he expected, Little Sun described everything that had happened after the three Elders of the six-member council opened the former Chief's mausoleum. This included encountering the souls of their deceased family members, crossing the illusory pitch-black river that hid countless strange creatures, and facing the former Chief who was covered in white feathers in his incomplete Mythical Creature form. There was also the matter of Shepherd Lovia separating a shadow and attempting to pounce at the illusory tube that extended out from the former Chief's body. However, Colin Iliad had used the Fate Siphon charm to temporarily switch his fate with the former Chief's, changing the outcome.
An illusory black tube … Its body is covered in white feathers stained with pale yellow oil … This sounds familiar … Right, isn't this the main characteristic of the scene I saw when I divined the abnormality of Azik's copper whistle? And the reason why the former Chief built the mausoleum was because he wanted to switch to the Sequence 3 Ferryman of the Death pathway … As Klein listened, his mind raced as he put all the connections together and considered what kind of conclusion he could come to.
Soon, he had a bold guess.
The mutation of the City of Silver's former Chief was definitely related to the Charismatic Order's Artificial Death project!
Although this conclusion sounded unbelievable and unbelievable, this was because the City of Silver was located in the Forsaken Land of the Gods, which was completely isolated from the outside world. It could only be entered and exited through the Giant King's Court and the ruins of the battle of the gods. Even the seven deities couldn't find it, nor could they use their powers to infiltrate it. However, the similarities in many characteristics made Klein, who was sensitive to coincidences, combine it with Shepherd Elder Lovia's performance in this operation and eliminate the other possibilities. He had no choice but to seriously consider the possibility that the two seemingly unrelated matters pointed to something.
From the scenes he saw in his divination, as well as his experience of white fur growing out of the pores on the back of his hand when he failed to summon Artificial Death, as well as his encounter with the three Elders of the City of Silver's six-member council, he began to suspect that the Charismatic Order's attempt might have achieved success to a certain extent.
Through a series of sacrificial rituals and modifications of themselves as High-Sequence Beyonders, they affected Death's legacy in reverse, causing the Uniqueness, which was more abstract and illusory, which represented the authority of a deity, to gradually produce an ignorant instinct. It allowed the totem, which was just a concept, to "come alive" for the first time!
Therefore, this thing that didn't have any intelligence and couldn't be considered Artificial Death began to assimilate with the entire ritual, seeking to influence Beyonders of the same pathway and lower Sequences.
After certain conditions were met, the thing hidden in the depths of the black fog could extend an illusory black tube and establish a connection with the target, absorbing his strength and transforming his body.
And this method might involve the Underworld or something special about Death's domain. It could bypass the power that isolated the Forsaken Land of the Gods and effectively make contact with the living beings inside!
Therefore, the shadow that Shepherd Elder Lovia separated came from the True Creator's "gift." Its goal was to follow the illusory black tube on the former Chief's body and reverse-corrupt Death's legacy? Perhaps this was how the Mother Tree of Desire replaced the Chained God back then and occupied the corresponding authority …
Thankfully, the current Chief of the City of Silver is very clear-headed. He knew beforehand that he would seek the help of the secret existence behind Little Sun. Using the Fate Siphon charm, he cleverly destroyed the True Creator's scheme …
Yes, one of the two powerful Sealed Artifacts of the City of Silver seems to be very good at purification. It restrained the shadow that can corrupt Death's legacy …
Heh heh, it seems like I, The Fool, will be marked down by the True Creator again. Of course, the one standing in front of me is Amon. After all, that Worm of Time was contributed by "Him" … Through Little Sun's description, Klein relied on his own speculations to vaguely grasp the struggle hidden in the City of Silver's exploration.
At the same time, he felt that he could roughly describe the Shepherd Elder's mental state.
To Lovia, the illusory black tube that connected to the outside world was undoubtedly the key to the City of Silver's escape from the Forsaken Land of the Gods. Therefore, she was very certain of her actions and didn't have any regrets. She only believed that the Chief was the one who destroyed her hopes.
It's not too scary when someone does something bad. What's most terrifying is when that person does something that they believe to be right with the mindset of martyrdom … Klein couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
As for why Little Sun knew so much about what had happened in the mausoleum, it was obvious to him that it had to be Chief Colin Iliad who had informed him in a casual manner.
At this moment, Sun had already mentioned that the three Elders had retrieved a special Sealed Artifact. It was formed from the Beyonder characteristic left behind by the former Chief and his skull.
The former Chief, from Sequence 9 Warrior to Sequence 4 Demon Hunter, belonged to the Giant pathway. The Ferryman potion he consumed corresponded to Sequence 3 of the Death pathway. The Beyonder characteristic formed from the two is definitely more bizarre and varied than a single pathway. Together with the influence of Artificial Death, the final Sealed Artifact is definitely very powerful. Of course, the negative effects are probably equally powerful …
Yes, the illusory pitch-black river and all sorts of strange creatures that were previously described probably correspond to the Underworld. This is similar to the scene I saw in the Berserk Sea. It's similar to the effects created by Miss Sharon's mystical item … As Klein casually thought about it, he heard Little Sun end the topic of exploration and mention a monster known as a Shapeshifter.
By the time Sun was done, Klein felt that a Shapeshifter was very likely a Bizarro Bane.
He hurriedly summoned a gold coin from the junk pile and quickly did a divination to confirm his judgment.
With Little Sun's present strength, there's definitely no way for him to head to the city ruins to hunt. I can only wait a little longer and wait for the Chief to pray to The Fool again, or seek help through Little Sun … Anyway, there's no rush. I haven't even found the Spirit World Plunderer … Klein nodded indiscernibly.
After pleading Mr. Fool to pass the corresponding information to Mr. World, Sun said that he already had enough contribution points and would soon be able to exchange for a Sequence 5 Vampire Beyonder characteristic, completing the three-party deal that had been finalized previously. He also asked Mr. Moon to make preparations.
…
In the waters of the Rorsted Archipelago, on the slowly cruising Future.
After thanking Mr. Fool, Cattleya nudged the glasses on the bridge of her nose, opened the window of the captain's cabin, and shouted at everyone, "Let's go.
She shouted to everyone, "Turn around. Head for Bayam."
After giving the order, the pirate admiral curled the corners of her mouth. She was happy that she finally had a chance to establish a long-term relationship with an Artisan.
But at this moment, she suddenly thought of a question.
If he could easily obtain the help of an Artisan, would Frank Lee, who hadn't been able to obtain the Sequence 5 potion formula for a long time, attempt to make the Druid Beyonder characteristic into an item so as to speed up his stalled experiments?
This isn't a good thing … Cattleya subconsciously raised her hand and pinched her forehead.
…
On the liner, after settling his matters, Klein focused on enjoying his journey.
Due to the anomaly in the Berserk Sea's weather, the liner he was on had chosen a longer and more winding route, but it was also safer. That night, it docked at a port named Harriman.
Klein didn't disembark. Instead, he got a seat by the window in the restaurant on the upper deck and had his dinner.
While waiting for his food, he casually looked out the window and enjoyed the local night scenery.
Suddenly, he discovered a suspicious figure carrying luggage in preparation to board the ship.
The reason why it was suspicious was that the man was not only wearing a black coat and a tall top hat, concealing his figure, but he also had a scarf wrapped around his face, revealing only a pair of eyes.
And that pair of eyes was constantly staring at the ground, preventing others from seeing him clearly.
