Chapter 100: Ancient Gods



Just as Audrey Justice was about to request a private discussion, she suddenly discovered something: The World, who was sitting at the bottom of the long bronze table, showed no interest in the “acting method” and did not even have the urge to ask.

Did he already know the “acting method”, or did he consult Mr. Fool privately? Audrey muttered, and still cautiously requested a private discussion environment.

Then, she looked at Fors and said carefully with her words and pronunciation:

"Our attitude towards potions should not be mastery, but digestion."

"The key to digestion is acting, and the key to acting is the name of the potion."

"Why?" Fors asked.

She thought for a moment and added another question:

"Then how should I act?"

Audrey recalled Mr. Fool’s posture and examples, and repeated the description of the castle, guards, invitations, and disguises. Finally, she said:

"In short, the purpose of the roleplay is to reconcile the body, mind, and spirit, bypass the stubborn resistance of the remaining spirit of the potion, and break and digest it."

As a novelist, Fors had a strong imagination. When "Justice" finished speaking, she had already sketched out the corresponding pictures and scenes in her mind and basically understood what the other party wanted to express.

“I see…”

"It turns out that this can eliminate the remaining mental effects of the potion and reduce the risk of losing control."

"The more I think about it, the more I think this is possible!"

Fors's doubts gradually diminished, and the feeling of surprise slowly filled her heart.

Finally, she asked for confirmation:

"Is this what Mr. Fool taught you?"

"Yes, if it weren't for Mr. Fool, we might have lost control. The fact that we are still here proves that the 'acting method' works," Audrey Justice praised sincerely.

Huh... Fors exhaled quietly, feeling that her future was filled with hope.

Is this the adventure described in all kinds of novels? It feels so wonderful! However, we still can't be careless. Mr. Fool may be an evil god with bad intentions and hidden deep... Fors reminded herself in her heart.

Immediately, she began to think about a more important question, which was how to play the role of an "apprentice".

Simply speaking from the literal meaning, "apprentice" means that all aspects of skills are not yet mature, and still need to be taught and concentrate on learning? Can't be arrogant, can't be proud, and must understand the insignificance of one's own strength? Fors quickly dispersed his thoughts and didn't realize that the environment for private communication had been terminated.

At this time, "Sun" Derrick looked around silently, gritted his teeth and said:

"I want to know who the seven gods you mentioned are and their general situation."

He finally couldn't help asking the question that had been on his mind for a long time.

...I know that! "Justice" Audrey almost didn't react at first, but she quickly figured out what "The Sun" was asking, and raised her right hand slightly.

At the same time, The Hanged Man and The World also indicated that they could answer.

“…What are they doing?” Fors looked at them blankly, trying to recall what had just happened.

A moment later, she remembered the question about the "sun" and digested the implied meaning in the other party's words.

No way? He didn't even know about the Seven Gods? Where did he come from? Fors looked at the young Mr. Sun in astonishment.

In the Northern Continent, except for the ignorant children, everyone knows about the seven orthodox gods!

Even the poor and homeless who are struggling to survive are no exception!

For them, the free food occasionally distributed by the church was so tempting, and the poorhouse they opened was a candle of hope in their despair.

People from the southern continent colony? But why did he ask such a simple question here? It was totally unnecessary! Just find a church and ask a pastor or priest to preach, and you can figure out the relevant content! Where does the "Sun" live? What a freak! Fors muttered to himself and looked left and right, but found that Miss Justice, Mr. Hanged Man, and Mr. World were not surprised by this.

At this time, Klein, the Fool, who was shrouded in fog, saw three people rushing to answer, so he smiled and said:

"Mr. Sun, who do you want to trade with?"

"What are you willing to pay?"

"Sun" Derrick pursed his lips, thought for a few seconds and said:

"I deal with each of them individually."

This is the only way to obtain the most comprehensive intelligence…Derrick had matured a bit in the harsh environment of Silver City and during several previous patrols and clearing operations.

He paused and said:

"The reward is to ask me a question and I can answer it."

"I promise. I'm very interested in the City of Silver." Audrey Justice smiled without hesitation.

Silver City? What is this place? Why haven't I heard of it? Fors looked around blankly, feeling that he had no idea what they were talking about.

Audrey glanced at her and kindly explained:

"Mr. Sun is not on the southern or northern continent, nor is he on an island in the ocean. The City of Silver is beyond the limits of our knowledge or exploration."

Is this a lie? This thought occurred to Fors subconsciously.

However, the performance of "The Sun" and the idea that it was impossible for everyone to unite to deceive me made her quickly accept Audrey's explanation.

This secret gathering is more bizarre than I thought... Mr. Fool is more powerful than I thought... Fors exhaled secretly and sighed.

Audrey vaguely read her current thoughts, and wanted to show off that "Vice Admiral Hurricane" Qilingos, Intis Ambassador Bakerron, and "Swindler" Lanevus all died because of the Tarot Club.

What a pity! If Fors knew these three things, she would immediately associate Audrey with "Justice". It had to be kept secret, it had to be kept secret... It was very hard but it had to be kept secret! "Justice" Audrey suddenly took a deep breath.

Because she didn't know much about the City of Silver and didn't know what to ask, Fors didn't get involved in the subsequent transaction and chose to watch from the sidelines.

The "Hanged Man" and "The World" successively agreed to the request of "The Sun" Derrick.

The happiest person was Klein. For him, this meant that his harvest had increased from one to three.

——The Fool can hear the content of the private communication! And Klein obviously doesn't intend to block himself.

"Student 'Sun' is so simple!" He laughed in his heart.

Since there was so much information related to the Seven Gods, "Justice", "The Hanged Man" and "The World" could only "write" what they thought were the key points. After a while, they passed their respective descriptions to "The Sun".

Derrick quickly scanned it and stopped at a few lines of words:

"Besides the Lord who created everything, the oldest gods are the Eternal Blazing Sun, the Lord of Storms, and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom. Their church is the oldest church."

Why haven’t I heard of these gods? I haven’t heard of any of them. I feel like there’s something very important hidden in this. Sun Derrick knew that the time for the tarot party was limited, so he hurriedly ended the reading and planned to pray to Mr. Fool after he returned, asking him to help awaken his memory.

Next, the first person to ask the question was "Justice" Audrey.

Because of the serial murders, she was very interested in the "Devil" sequence, so she imitated Mr. "World" and asked corresponding questions.

Derrick answered skillfully and added:

"At the corresponding Sequence 7, Beyonders of the Abyss Path can effectively interfere with divination and spiritual communication."

The power of the "devil" is really terrifying. I wonder if my Sequence 7 "Psychologist" will bring about a qualitative change... or will it reach Sequence 6? Audrey was quite afraid when she heard this.

The second question came from Alger, the "Hanged Man".

He seemed to have considered it for a long time, looked at the "sun", and said in a deep voice:

"I want to know the creation myth of the City of Silver."

The slightly tense Derrick relaxed a little and said:

"The omniscient and omnipotent God created everything and fell into deep sleep."

"Giant King Olmir, 'Imaginary Dragon' Angerwede, Elf King Sonjathorem, Vampire Ancestor Lilith, Demon King Fabuti, Phoenix Ancestor Graygari, Alien King Kwashitun, Wolf King Fregola, divided up the authority left by the Lord and became gods who dominate the sky, the earth and the sea, the reality, the spirit world and the astral world, and all races. They are true gods, ancient gods."

Fregola? Klein, who was listening in, suddenly noticed a familiar word.

Whenever he was promoted, his state was unstable, or he was exposed to the residual influence of the Antigonus family notes, he would always hear illusory whispers from somewhere:

"Honakis...Flegera...Honakis...Flegera...Honakis...Flegera..."

Klein knew long ago that Honachis was referring to the mountain with the remains of the Kingdom of Night, but he still had no idea what the word Fregola meant.

And now, he heard "Freguera" from someone else's mouth for the first time!

The Wolf King, an ancient god!

But why is "he" involved with the Honachis Mountains? Klein remained in his posture and listened quietly to "Sun" Derrick continue to talk:

"Some of them perished in their fights with each other, while others were stripped of their authority by the omniscient and almighty God, the Lord of Creation, after He awakened."

"The first part is the creation myth, and the second part is the real history of Silver City."

Alger, the "Hanged Man", was still not satisfied and wanted to learn more, but because the "Sun" was unwilling to say more, he had to stop and think.

The Wolf King Fregola withdrew from the stage of history in the Second Age, which was the Dark Age long before the Cataclysm? Klein asked as he manipulated the World to think.

What he originally wanted to ask was which sequence of Beyonders could freely switch between the physical body and the spiritual body, just like Miss Sharon - if "Sun" did not know this knowledge, he could consider other questions.

But now, he had something more important that he wanted to know, so he spoke in a gloomy and hoarse voice:

"Everything about the Wolf King Fregola."

"Sun" Derrick looked at Mr. "World" in astonishment, frowned slightly and said:

"I don't know much about this ancient god."

"He is also called the 'Wolf of Destruction' and the 'Wolf of Dark Night'."

“Night Wolf…Night?” Klein narrowed his eyes slightly.
