Chapter 164 Topic
"Mr. Hanged Man, I think we can put this question aside for now," Emlyn Moon couldn't help but interrupt Alger's thoughts, "We should first solve the Sun's dilemma, right?"
"Who exactly is Sasriel? Can killing the True Creator really help the City of Silver escape from the God-Forsaken Land? I think this is the key to the problem."
"All other issues can be put aside for now."
"Is this true, Mr. Fool?" Magician Fores looked at the top of the bronze table. "Is this really the only way to help Silver City out of its predicament?"
As the magician asked this question, everyone turned their eyes to the Fool, except Cattleya. Due to some historical issues, she did not dare to look directly at the Fool.
"Sure enough, the question finally came to me." Klein sighed secretly, "How should I know?"
"Sasriel, the strongest angel king... a name I have never heard of."
'But I have to answer this question... It's a headache. If I had known earlier, I should have found some time to communicate with the ascetic Snowman...
"How can we fool them now?" Klein's mind raced. "I got it."
"I don't want to say much about the origin of the Fallen Creator," Klein the Fool said slowly, "This is a kind of respect, regardless of whether He is a good or evil god."
"As for leaving the [Forsaken Land of the Gods], I don't think Silver City's previous attempts were worthless."
"There is no such thing as an absolutely closed place. An exit must exist. This is the iron law of mysticism. Even gods cannot defy it."
"And the entrance and exit exist in close proximity. This is common sense, and I don't want to repeat common sense."
Derrick took a breath. He had heard the hidden meaning in the Fool's words.
Regardless of whether Alavis is lying or not, the [Giant King's Court] is still the key to escape.
"However, I believe that Silver City wants to leave
"Maybe this item will be useful."
[The Fool] Klein raised his hand, and something immediately flew over from the pile of debris that had long been shrouded in gray fog.
This was the first time that The Fool took out a personal item other than the Blasphemous Card at a Tarot Club meeting. Everyone stared at the item with bated breath.
It was a huge, iron-black, strange key.
"This key was sacrificed to me by the World," Klein the Fool looked at the World, then turned his head back, "It once belonged to Edwina Edwards."
"This key can open a sealed door in the Giant King's Court. It may be a treasure, a crisis, or a door to escape."
As he spoke, Klein controlled the gray fog and held the key in front of Derrick. Under the gaze of everyone, he dropped the key in front of him.
"Take it with you, keep exploring, and you will find your destiny."
"Follow your will! Mr. Fool!!" Derrick looked at the key carefully. "Your will is my will!!"
' Huklein breathed a sigh of relief, 'Finally I got away with it.
"If I ask any more, I'll be exposed.
"Mr. Lover," After a long delay, the transaction finally began, "I have searched all the books in the City of Silver, and have not seen any record of the Chemi parasite."
"What kind of extraordinary creature is that?"
"The Chemi parasite is a creature with divine power," Mobet explained slowly.
"Generally speaking, it parasitizes the main ingredients of the potion of [Apprentices] and [Fortune Tellers]."
"The parasitized organisms will show strong aggression and destructive power far beyond the mid-sequence, and there will be many more holes on their bodies. I think this is enough to help you identify the Chemi parasite."
"But I don't know what the main ingredients of the potions in those two ways are, so... maybe it will help
I can't find you anymore."
After saying that, Mobet turned and looked at [World] Klein and [Magician] Foles."Are you asking me about the main ingredients of the [Fortune Teller] potion? Can I assume that you are asking me for the potion formula?" [World] Klein turned his head and looked at Mobet, "A complete set from Sequence 9 to Sequence 5?"
"If you have the formula for Sequence 4, I don't mind jumping to another path," Mobet said excitedly. "Although our path is best to jump to Sequence 3, Sequence 4 is also possible."
"I do have the formula for Sequence 4 of the Diviner Path, but what do you want to exchange for it?" Klein paused. "The formula for Sequence 4 of the Thief Path?"
"No problem, if you agree, we can make the deal now." As he said this, Mobet intercalated his fingers.
"Miss Magician, do you want to join us? The paths of the three of us can all jump to each other."
"This way, we can have a three-way deal. Each party only needs to pay one formula, and in the end, we can get two formulas. It's really cost-effective."
"Even if we need to recruit students in the future, we will have more options."
Everyone held their breath.
That was the formula for Sequence 4, the stepping stone for demigods, and the most valuable item ever traded by the entire Tarot Club!!
If this three-party transaction can really be accomplished, then there is no doubt that the positive significance for the entire Tarot Club will be unprecedented. Just witnessing the occurrence of this transaction gives everyone a feeling of witnessing history.
"But I don't know the Sequence 4 formula for Apprentice..." Fors said weakly, "Maybe my teacher knows it?"
"Then we can trade again next week. I think you have enough time to consult your teacher."
"I believe the Abraham family will not refuse this suggestion," Fors thought carefully, "They have been looking for a way to get rid of the full moon curse... Jumping is a way for them.
While Fowles was still thinking about how to use the words
While trying to persuade the teacher, the Hanged Man beside him had already clenched his fists involuntarily.
A three-party deal, three copies of the Sequence 4 formula, this was like a fishhook that hooked Alger's heart that was craving for power and strength.
He didn't want to wait any longer, not even for a second. He also wanted to obtain the formula for Sequence 4, to ascend to the position of demigod, and to obtain the power and authority that surpassed that of ordinary people.
Especially when he recalled that the Hermit would soon obtain the blood of mythical creatures, he felt even more urgent.
Alger was no fool, he could guess what the Hermit was doing—the promotion ceremony.
A mid-sequence Beyonder is tirelessly seeking to buy angel blood. Is he using it to make amulets? What a joke! It's just a one-time amulet. There's no need to be so persistent, right?
It could only be required for the ritual. In other words, the Hermit already had the formula for a Sequence 4 potion, and even had the main ingredients. All that was left was the ritual to begin his ascension.
An unprecedented sense of urgency was oppressing him, almost suffocating Alger. As one of the earliest elders of the Tarot Club, he could not accept the fact that he was lagging far behind the newcomers.
"....There are clues about the cursed objects and residual spirits of the ancient vengeful spirits. I am waiting for the specific contents." Emlyn said, "This may not be giving you the items directly."
"It's to provide you with information about where the ancient ghost appears near Backlund.
"I have the cursed object and residual spirituality of the ancient vengeful spirit," Alger interrupted Emlyn's words, "thank you for the selfless dedication of [Admiral Deepwater]."
"Miss Magician, I can give you the cursed objects and residual spirituality of the ancient vengeful spirit for free."
Alger paused and continued.
"But I have two requests. As long as you
If you can satisfy that, you will immediately get the cursed object."Chapter 165 Another collaboration
"Tell me," Fowles said immediately, "what do you want?"
"First," Alger's voice became extremely serious, "Tell me honestly, if you get those two items now, how long will it take you to complete the promotion?"
"Ah?" Fores blinked and thought carefully, "Uh..."
"I was promoted in April...it's been more than two months now...
"I digested the potion so quickly this time that it was unusual... I could even say it was ridiculous... I wrote to the teacher and asked him to
Just as Fors said, she digested the potion this time at an unreasonably fast speed.
Her acting wasn't great, but even so the potion was digested so quickly it was ridiculous.
You know, when Klein digested the Sequence 7 potion, he actively pursued a lot of role-playing opportunities, even some of the higher-level events.
And Fowles's promotion speed was only slightly slower than Klein's.
"This is normal," Dorian replied. "The Apprenticeship Path is special. Since our Sequence 7 only improves our basic abilities very little, the digestion speed will be very fast."
"[But in contrast, the difficulty of digesting Sequence 6 is the highest among the 22 pathways, far exceeding the other pathways, as if to punish us for being lazy when we were at Sequence 7." Back to the present.
"Mr. Hanged Man, if I can obtain the cursed object and residual spirituality of the ancient vengeful spirit, I can complete the promotion now." Fors said firmly, "What is your second request?"
"Very good," Alger smiled. "My second request is that I have a big project recently. I need you to bring Lemanno's Travel Notes and be fully prepared to come and help me."
"Mr. Moon, you have to join us.
"Yes?" Alger turned to look at [Moon] Emlyn, "It will definitely be a very good return."
"Okay," Emlyn's interest was aroused, "I happen to be free recently."
"Miss Justice," Alger looked at Audrey Justice, "Do you want to participate? I can give you the fruit of the psychedelic wind chime tree in return."
"Really?!" Audrey's eyes immediately sparkled, but then dimmed again, "But… I'm only Sequence 7, and I'm not good at fighting…"
"It doesn't matter," Alger seemed to have thought it through long ago, "I have studied the abilities of the audience, and I can definitely help."
"In other words, are the four members of our Tarot Club going to start working together?" Fors asked excitedly, "I've always wanted to see what you look like in real life."
"But how are we going to get there?" Audrey asked immediately. "My time is limited. Unless it's midnight, I can't leave for too long."
"It's simple," Alger said with a smile, "Why don't we just ask Miss Magician to record a few Teleports?"
At the side, Cattleya, who had remained calm all along, narrowed her eyes.
Just as the three-party transaction and the upcoming promotion of [The Hermit] have brought pressure to [The Hanged Man], the recent frequent actions of [The Hanged Man] are actually also secretly putting pressure on [The Hermit].
The hunt for the [Admiral of the Deep Sea], the naval battle with the [Priest of White Light]...Alger had been making frequent moves on the sea under the name of [Vice Admiral of the Netherworld] during this period, and in fact, Cattleya had always been watching.
Even as a veteran pirate general, she had to admit the ferocity of this ghost captain. After all, no matter what, Alger was still only Sequence 6.
To be able to achieve such a record at this stage of Sequence was, to be honest, already extremely dazzling. To be fair, Cattleya did not think that she could perform better than Alger at Sequence 6.
On the contrary, if one were to ask oneself, if Cattleya, who was at Sequence 6, were to face the Hanged Man now, she would most likely be defeated.
No wonder she started to get nervous.
"What's going on here?" she thought carefully.reaction of [The Hanged Man] seems to be somewhere between impromptu and well-prepared....!
'No matter what, it seems that he is not going to cooperate with me... Yes, I have long discovered that this guy from the Storm Church is very wary of me.
'The last cooperation opportunity was snatched away by him, and now he is planning to do it again... It's as if he is trying to increase his voice in the Tarot Club.'
"We must find a way to deal with it.....Thinking of this, Cattleya made up her mind, "But what method should we use...
While Cattleya was thinking, the transaction was still going on.
"Mr. [The Hanged Man]," [Pope] Siatas looked at Alger, "I want to know if the Church of Storms has lost anything in Trier?"
"I suspect that Gayes came to Trier to look for something. I'll pay you 100 pounds for this information."
"Lost?" Alger tilted his head and thought carefully. "As far as I know, the Church of Storms has no property lost in Trier."
"But if I must say, there is one," Alger recalled some new files he saw after becoming a pirate general, "but it's not lost, it should be said to be lost."
"According to records, during a colonial conflict more than a hundred years ago, the Church of Storms and the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun had a conflict. In the end, the two demigods fought each other on the coast of West Balam."
"The battle ended with the victory of the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun. Not only did the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun win, but it also seized the holy relic held by the demigod of the Church of the Storm."
"It is said that the holy relic was later stored in the Eternal Blazing Sun Church in Xibailang. Until recently, the Eternal Blazing Sun Church made arrangements and adjustments to the sealed relic and transported it to Trier."
"If you insist, it can be considered as an item lost by the Storm Church in Trier."
"Then I think I understand what's going on," Siatas changed to a more comfortable sitting position and continued, "Gayas came here just for that holy object."
"Now, the underground Beyonder circle in Trier is saying that a batch of sealed objects have been leaked from the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun, and this one is probably included. So Gayas wants to take this opportunity to snatch this holy object back."
"Can you tell me more about the holy relic?" Siatas raised her forearm. "I can pay more."
"Are you trying to get that holy object?" Alger narrowed his eyes. "I only know that the holy object corresponds to the Sailor Path Sequence 3, and I don't know the rest."
"Two pieces of information, 200 pounds in total, remember to pay."
"No problem, I'll give it to you after the meeting," Siatas nodded, "I do want to get that item."
"Reclaiming the properties of the storm... This will be the first step in allowing the elves to rise again."
"I hope you can bear the side effects of that item," Alger said in a complicated tone, "Although it is a holy object, it is not an ordinary object after all. The side effects may be unbearable."
After that, as Klein questioned Calendel, the transaction was completely over.
The communication session has begun.
Chapter 166 Experiment
"With the end of the banquet invitation, Backlund's many conflicts completely exploded, causing extremely horrific damage."
[Justice] Audrey repeated what Archbishop Anthony said, paused, and continued to add.
"But because of this, the potential dangers have been eliminated. It is expected that Backlund will enter a period of peace in the future."
"How serious is the damage to Queens?" [The Hanged Man] Alger asked, "According to the rumors I heard, the entire Queens was turned upside down."
"So, that's just a rumor," Emlyn replied. "In fact, thanks to the Augustus family's Chaos Hunter, the scope of the destruction this time is limited."
"I went to see it myself the next day," Emlyn couldn't help but sigh, "It was so beautiful there...
"Now, the battlefield is filled with a large number of extraordinary relics, including but not limited to [Moonlight], [Abyss], [Curse], [Darkness], [Depravity], [Plague]...
"It is now an absolute restricted area until it is completely cleaned up."
"What excuse did the authorities use to cover up the extraordinary problems there this time?" Cattleya asked curiously, "What excuse can they use to cover up such a big thing?"
"I know that," Fowles said, holding up his hands, unable to suppress a laugh. "The authorities say...someone has detonated a bomb there...full of plague."
"It is also said that... [Aurora Society] claims to be responsible for this matter
"That's not a problem," World Klein said, "The Aurora Society was indeed involved in the banquet incident."
"What was the final outcome of the banquet?" asked [Pope] Siatas. "Where did all those demigods go in the end?"
"I know a little about this matter," Emlyn said. "Officially, there is no need to say more. One demigod of the Rose School was captured alive by our blood clan, and the other managed to escape."
"It seems that the Rose School is the biggest loser in this banquet," Alger said with some gloating, "A demigod is of immeasurable value to any organization."
"It looks like they'll be quiet for a while because of this."
"I don't think so," Cattleya shook her head, "I'm afraid this banquet is just the prelude to a bigger storm."
"I really can't understand why Kneo Soran wants to hold this banquet. Is it out of kindness to help the Loen people detonate the crisis in advance and reduce losses?"
"This is impossible. A [conspirator] cannot
It is impossible to make such a low-level mistake. "Cattleya said firmly, "Keneo must be using this banquet to plan something."
"But what exactly could he be planning?" Audrey [Justice] asked, "Is there anything that needs to be accomplished at a banquet?"
"I don't know..." Cattleya shook her head.
"It is impossible to draw any conclusion based on the clues that have been leaked so far."
"The Original Witch," [World] Klein suddenly spoke, "His plot is related to the [Original Witch]."
These words were like a thunderclap that exploded, and everyone's spirits were immediately aroused.
After all, no one could have imagined that a mere Middle-Sequence Being who was not even a Demigod would dare to plot something concerning a True God.
To be honest, even Klein, who heard Kneo's words with his own ears, found it hard to believe.
No wonder he expressed admiration for Kneo's boldness.
"Ambassador Kneo asked me to find some fragments," Klein continued, "He called them [Sapphire Fragments]."
"According to him, these [Sapphire Fragments] are fragments of a Level 0 Sealed Object. Although the fragments themselves are not powerful or harmful, they have many magical effects and can be used in many wonderful ways."
"Kneo believes that as long as we can gather all those fragments, we can try to recast the Level 0 seal and use it to control the seal."
"As far as I know, that Level 0 Sealed Artifact was
Worn by Triss Chick, the witch was crownedhard not to associate this seal with the original witch.
After saying this, [World] Klein fell silent again. He glanced at everyone with his face blurred by the gray fog. It was no surprise that he saw the different reactions of the Tarot Club members.
Miss [Justice] seemed to be thinking, although it was unknown what exactly she was thinking about; Miss [Magician] seemed to be frightened and looked like a frightened bird.
The expression of the Moon is hard to read, especially under the gray fog, it is even more blurry; the expression of the Lover is clear, but he obviously doesn't care much about it.
The [Pope], the [Hanged Man], and the [Hermit], these three powerful men who have many connections with the ocean, did not hide their curiosity and seemed to be quite interested in this so-called [Sapphire Fragment].
As for the [Sun], he was just as curious as ever about things outside the God-Forsaken Land.
"I'm done, it's your turn."
"Very good," Cattleya took over the conversation, "Mr. Sun, do you still remember the path change last time?"
"I remember, of course I remember." Derrick became even more depressed when he thought of the demigod war. "It's impossible for me to forget it."
"That's good," Cattleya nodded. "The last pathway mutation gave me an inspiration. I want to conduct an experiment based on this. This experiment requires your close cooperation."
"I believe that once this experiment is successful, it will definitely have a great positive impact on your Silver City."
"What kind of experiment is this, Miss Hermit?" Derrick's emotions were immediately aroused. "How do you need my cooperation?"
"To put it simply, the purpose of this experiment is to establish a channel between your Silver City and the outside world," Cattleya said.
"I haven't thought of any use for this channel yet, but I believe we will find a use for it in the future."
"What needs to be done specifically?" Derrick asked, "What method can be used to break down the barriers between our two worlds?"
"Listen to me first," Cattleya took a puff.
He said slowly, "I'll tell you right away."
"The inspiration for this experiment came from the last world-wide pathway mutation. There is no doubt that mutation can affect both sides of our world at the same time, and it is enough to prove that there are loopholes in the blockade of the God-Forsaken Land.
Hole. "
"What we need to do is to use a sufficiently powerful force to expand this loophole." Cattleya couldn't help but clench her fists, "And we have a ready-made high-ranking person here."
"[Hidden Sage]."
Hearing this name, Klein narrowed his eyes and listened more attentively.
"It is a recognized fact that the Hidden Sage has a very high status and is very powerful. It is also a recognized fact that the Hidden Sage will occasionally impart knowledge to the Beyonders of the Secret Peeping Path."
"Then, if we can use this mechanism to instill the knowledge of the Hidden Sage into the blockade loophole of the God-Forsaken Land, can we use the power of the Hidden Sage to forcibly open a passage between the two worlds?"
"This experiment seems to have a low feasibility." Mobet couldn't help but interrupt the topic, "The premise of expanding the loophole is to find the loophole. With your status, can you really accurately find the loophole between the worlds?"
"That's right," Cattleya nodded, "but we don't need to find the exact location of the vulnerability, just a broad outline will do."
"What we really need to do is
Yes.....as she spoke, Cattleya raised her hand and pointed
He held his ears and said, "In the Forsaken Land of God, prepare a place that can divert the knowledge of the Hidden Sage.
object. "
"One of my ears."
At this point, she looked at everyone present and was satisfied to see that everyone was quiet and attentive.
listen.
With a little satisfaction, Cattleya continued to explain.
"We need someone who is willing to tear off his own ears and replace them with mine." She paused, "For the sake of the experiment, I will do the same thing."
"Among these, the most important thing is
Use Mr. Fool's sacrificial ritual, because onlyOnly Mr. Fool has the power to bypass the blockade of the two worlds, allowing us to exchange ears and make this experiment possible."
"So, you need one of my ears, right?" Derrick touched his ear involuntarily. "Sure... For the future of Silver City, I am willing to sacrifice one of my ears!!"
"No," Cattleya shook her head, "I have a better candidate..."
"Don't you have an elder named Lovia? She's the perfect candidate," she smiled. "As a [Rose Bishop], she wouldn't care about the loss of an ear at all."
"And the flesh and blood magic can also allow her to blend perfectly with my ears, giving her a higher chance of hearing the voice of the Hidden Sage," Cattleya added.
"At the same time, I will also use magical items to cast flesh and blood magic, so that her ears and I can merge perfectly, further increasing the probability."
After saying that, Cattleya looked at Derrick, looking forward to his opinion.
Derrick was already in a dilemma.
He didn't mind sacrificing himself for the future of Silver City. He had this idea on the first day he met Mr. Fool, and he never hesitated.
However, we need the help of Elder Lovia now. Although she is an elder of the six-member council, she is also a believer of the [True Creator] and is an absolute source of danger.
What if the experiment was used by her? Even worse, what if it was used by the [True Creator]? If that happened, the entire Silver City might be destroyed.
"I admit that seeking Lovia's help would be risky," Cattleya continued, seeming to see Derrick's hesitation, "but perhaps this is also an opportunity."
Yes." "A good opportunity to verify the truth of Lovia
"If Lovia has really been contaminated by the True Creator, then we can treat this experiment as adding the contamination of the Hidden Sage to balance her. This will be good for the City of Silver."
"If there really is nothing wrong with Lovia, and she has survived the infusion of knowledge without much change, then after this experiment, we don't have to worry about her anymore and can treat her as harmless."167 Abraham's Current Situation
The crimson light disappeared from the gray fog, and Fors Wall immediately began a sacrificial ceremony. He soon received the ancient curse and residual spiritual power sent by the Hanged Man.
Soon after, she picked up a pen and began writing letters to her teacher.
"[Dear Mr. Dorian, I am very happy to write to you again. I wish you good health.]"
"[I am writing this letter because I have successfully become a Recorder. Therefore, I am writing to you to tell you this good news as agreed. After all, if I didn't have your potion formula, I would definitely still be treading on the low sequence.]"
(Let's skip the friendly greetings and polite small talk and get straight to the point.)"
"[.....I recently joined a Beyonder circle, a relatively high-end one. There are several high-sequence experts in this circle. The huge amount of money those experts spend really shocked me.]"
"[What shocked me the most was that two high-sequence masters were even trading Sequence 4 potion formulas!! That's the level that demigods belong to in legends! Just looking up at them made me feel suffocated.]"
"I remember that the two high-sequence masters were planning to trade the Sequence 4 formulas of the Fortuneteller and the Thief. I remember that these two paths are suitable for us Apprentices who are adjacent to each other... Good eyes.
"[However, their deal fell through. It seems that they felt that their formula was more valuable. However, the deal is not over yet. Next week, when the two high-sequence experts bring more money, they will start bargaining again.]"
"Teacher, does our organization have a Sequence 4 formula for the Apprentice pathway? If so, I can join the transaction next week. Perhaps we can make a three-way deal, and then I can exchange one for two. I won't lose anything."
Dorian looked at the letter and was first happy about Fowles' promotion, but then he fell into deep thought.
"The Sequence 4 formulas of the Fortuneteller and the Thief..." he muttered to himself, "Extraordinary ways that can be interchanged..."
These words lingered in Dorian's ears like bees, tempting his sense of smell like honey.
This is indeed a way out, Abraham's family
The clan has always had the formulas for low- and medium-sequence potions in adjacent pathways, but there are no high-sequence formulas at all.
Perhaps thousands of years ago, the Abraham family had a magic potion formula for a similar path, but all of this had long since vanished with the end of the Four Emperors' War.
Over the years, the Abraham family has tried adjacent routes, but there is no way out.
Even if one does not choose the Apprentice path, those with Abraham's blood flowing in their veins will still be subjected to the whispers of the full moon as long as they choose the adjacent path. This is a curse that has long been rooted in the blood of every Abraham.
Of course, compared to those blood relatives who choose to be [Apprentices], the mumbling will be less.
The way to eradicate the Full Moon Whispering is either to not become an Extraordinary and live your life as an ordinary person, or to completely break away from the family's basic foundation, choose an irrelevant Extraordinary path, and join others.
Choosing the latter is basically equivalent to saying goodbye to the family, because such people tend to completely cut off ties with the family within a few generations, and leave forever with their share of the inheritance.
Choosing the [Apprentice] path, although one would have to endure terrible whispers, one could rely on the spiritual connection with the ancestors and wield holy objects to gain high-sequence combat power. In other words, the risks and rewards were equally high.
The obsession with the "apprentice", the division of the family... all of these destroyed the ancient surname of Abraham, and as Butis raised the banner of rebellion, the few middle-sequence members of the family were almost all killed or injured.
However, this time, the deal that Foles mentioned brought them a turning point.
Even though the control of the [Church of Night] over mermaids blocked the path to advancement for almost all [Fortune Tellers] except the [Secret Society]; even though Amon's hunting of [Thieves] cast a shadow on this path.
Even so, the Abraham family is still
