What do I need? The Hermit Cattleya laughed secretly, sensing the small temptation hidden in the normal question of The Hanged Man.
Where there is a need, there is a clue!
Not to mention that I have already obtained the potion formula of the "Mysticist" path sequence 4, and am accumulating contributions for one of the main ingredients. Even if I have nothing, I will not lack the corresponding channels, and there are more than one... Cattleya's thoughts turned, and she remembered the "Poseidon Scepter" in Mr. Fool's hand, so she smiled and said:
"I need a demigod-level magical item, one whose negative effects are relatively tolerable."
At this moment, Alger, the "Hanged Man", almost blurted out and told the other party not to joke.
Even the Storm Church might not be able to obtain a similar item in several years, not to mention that it was only a mid-sequence Beyonder!
If there really is a demigod-level item with relatively tolerable negative effects, why don't I keep it for myself? Alger understood that the Hermit was responding to his temptation in a mocking way, but he did not get angry like most of his colleagues. He took a deep breath and said:
“I’ll keep an eye on it.
"But you should be aware, ma'am, that effective clues to this kind of item alone may be worth the potion formula of 'Ocean Singer'."
...very deep, not easily angered, which is different from the general style of the Church of the Storm... Could it be that my first observation was wrong, and he was really pretending to be a priest of the Storm? No, I can't think so yet. Maybe it's because Mr. Fool's gaze made him dare not get angry, or maybe he himself is an outlier in the Church of the Storm. This won't be too much, but it's definitely not very rare... "Hermit" Cattleya was not greedy, and didn't make a second attempt. She nodded and said:
"I know."
As the conversation between the two ended, no one raised any more demands during the transaction. Some members wanted what they wanted, so they didn't need to buy it anymore. This was mainly due to Audrey "Justice" and Fors "Magician" who were waiting for the follow-up formula. Others were limited by their economic conditions and their own situations and decided not to make advance purchases for the time being. This included Emlyn "The Moon" who was eager for the legacy of the Vampire Viscount and Miss "Magician" who wanted to get a magical item.
Sure enough, as everyone gradually got rid of the low sequence, promotion was no longer so fast, and the frequency of transactions was rapidly declining. In the past, there were about one or two orders per week, but now it may take two or three weeks, and in the future it may take three or four months... "The Fool" Klein didn't know whether this situation was good or bad, so he nodded slightly, indicating that everyone could communicate freely.
Audrey, the Justice, immediately looked towards Derrick, the Sun, waiting for him to tell her about the events that had taken place in the City of Silver.
Derrick lived up to her "expectations" and spoke sincerely before anyone else could speak:
"Elder Lovia was released. I met her in the library."
Shepherd Lovia was released? The entire team she led was contaminated by the True Creator through flesh and blood. How could she be fine? What was the six-member council of Silver City thinking? Klein wanted to express his doubts with words like "If Lovia is fine, I'll tear my head off and give it to the True Creator to kick around." However, considering that if the curse and oath involved gods, there might be bad consequences, he rationally changed his mind.
Of course, this is above the gray fog, so there is no need to be so cautious... He sighed in his heart.
"Elder Lovia was released? The 'shepherd'?" Audrey "Justice" recalled what the name meant.
At that time, the little "Sun" took advantage of the possession of the "blasphemer" Amon and, with the help of Mr. "Fool", exposed the fact that the entire exploration team was polluted by the "True Creator". The leader of that exploration team was Lovia, and her "shepherd" profession happened to be in the "secret prayer" path corresponding to the "True Creator"!
“Yes.” Derrick the Sun nodded sincerely and glanced at the Hanged Man next to him.
Alger thought about it and asked:
"Has your chief returned to Silver City?"
"Why did Mr. Hanged Man suddenly ask about this... Yeah, to release such an important person, the other members of the six-member council can't possibly wait for the chief to come back...
"If the Chief has not returned and they have made a decision in advance, it means that the situation is more serious than they imagined, so serious that they cannot wait for the Chief... If the Chief has returned, then there is a high probability that the release of Lovia is related to the outcome of his adventure, because according to Little Sun, this is the only exploration of Silver City in the recent period...
"Hey, why didn't I think of this just now, Audrey? You still don't have enough experience..." "Justice" Audrey thought to herself half in reflection and half in comfort.
"Yes, not long ago." "The Sun" Derrick was quite surprised at Mr. "The Hanged Man"'s accurate guess.
At this time, the "magician" Fors, who was listening quietly, combined the materials he had learned before and suddenly had an idea:
"Mr. Sun, could this be the case?
“Your chief led the exploration team and the little boy Jack to find the road that leads to the outside world. It turned out that they had to rely on the power of the ‘True Creator’. Haha, this is not a lie I made up, but a reasoning based on facts. The father of the little boy Jack belongs to the ‘Aurora Society’. They came to you in pursuit of the sanctuary of the ‘True Creator’.
"So, for the sake of the entire Silver City, after your chief returned, he decided to release the 'Shepherd' Lovia."
"If that's the case, Mr. Sun will be in great danger next." Justice Audrey said worriedly, and Derrick's heart sank when he heard it.
At this moment, Alger, the Hanged Man, shook his head:
“No, I think exactly the opposite.
"Miss Magician's reasoning is consistent with my guess, but I think that this way, the Sun will be safer than ever before!"
“Why?” Derrick was certain in his heart and asked back.
Isn't this simple? Balance! Klein the Fool sneered in his heart.
"Any intelligent creature with eyes and brains can sense the danger of the True Creator. Your chief will never put all his chips on Him. He will definitely seek a force that can check and balance the True Creator.
"And you, who have uncovered their conspiracy and been possessed by the Blasphemer Amon, may represent another possibility.
"The more Lovia and the others want to hurt you, the more the chief and the other elders will protect you. That way, they will pretend not to see any doubts that may have been left unresolved about you before," Alger explained simply.
Is this actually a good thing? Magician Fors was stunned when he heard this.
Mr. "The Hanged Man" made a lot of sense... When it comes to analyzing things and situations, there is still a big gap between him and me... "Justice" Audrey felt a little frustrated and even wanted to puff up her cheeks, but then she felt that this was ungraceful and indecent behavior, and only thought about it in her heart.
Apart from them, Emlyn the Moon, who had no idea about Lovia, had a hard time listening, but knowing about the little boy Jack and the cycle of fate, he managed to understand what others were discussing.
In order to break through the predicament of the Silver City, they released a "danger" involving the "real creator"? Emlyn began to speculate in his mind.
Compared to him, the "Hermit" Cattleya didn't understand anything. She just felt that she and the other members were in a different world.
"I actually had that feeling again: 'What they are saying seems very powerful, but I can't understand it at all'... The last time I had a similar feeling was many years ago, when I was still very weak... The previous Tarot Club had some vague signs, especially when it came to the City of Silver, but they were not as serious as this time...
“Also, why are they discussing the ‘True Creator’ and the ‘Blasphemer’ Amon so naturally? Hmm… this should be the ‘Blasphemer’ Amon that I know… They are both just in the middle sequence… What on earth did they do before?” Cattleya’s self-confidence that came from being a strong person was somewhat hit at this moment.
After listening to Mr. Hanged Man's analysis, Sun Derrick first breathed a sigh of relief, then asked nervously:
"Will this lead to our Silver City being destroyed by the 'Fallen Creator'?"
He had hoped that Mr. Hanged Man would give him a reassuring answer, but he heard the other party say in a low voice:
“This possibility cannot be ruled out.”
"So what should we do?" Derrick asked sincerely.
“Without knowing what your chief and the other elders of the six-member council are trying to do, I cannot give you any advice, but I think you don’t need to panic.” Alger raised his head and glanced at Mr. Fool, who was sitting at the top of the long bronze table and quietly watching the other members.
Following his gaze, Derrick the Sun subconsciously looked over and saw Mr. Fool, whose figure was extremely blurry and shrouded in gray fog.
His heart suddenly became peaceful, and he couldn't help but think of the holy and powerful angel.
...Although I have indeed ruined the True Creator's plans several times, if I really collide with Him face to face, I will definitely not be able to last a second...The situation will become that The Fool delivers the goods to the door, and the True Creator's disdain is not enough to fill his teeth...Klein maintained the state of leisurely listening, without saying a word or expressing any opinion.
"The Sun" Derrick retracted his gaze and said to Alger:
"Mr. 'The Hanged Man', thank you for your help. I will try to find out what the Chief and his men want to do as soon as possible."
Seeing that the matter was about to come to an end, the "Hermit" Cattleya spoke carefully:
"The 'blasphemer' Amon you just mentioned is the ancestor of the Amon family of the Tudor Empire in the Fourth Epoch, the Son of the Creator?"
Son of the Creator? Justice Audrey was startled by the title from Ms. Hermit. She instinctively turned her head and looked at the top of the bronze table. She found Mr. Fool sitting quietly, as if he had tacitly acknowledged Amon’s other identity.
