The Lord who created everything... the omniscient and almighty God... Klein leaned back, maintaining his profound posture, and repeated the key words in the words of the Silver City boy in his mind.

He was no stranger to the "Lord who created everything". The creator in "Book of Storms", "Apocalypse of Night" and folk legends had a similar title. The "real creator" believed in by secret organizations such as the Aurora Society was also given the same description.

But this was the first time Klein had heard of the term “omniscient and omnipotent God” in this world. Neither the Goddess of Night, the Lord of Storms, nor the God of Steam and Machinery claimed to be omniscient and omnipotent.

If, if the City of Silver is really in the "God-Forsaken Land", and the "God-Forsaken Land" really belongs to this world, "the omniscient and omnipotent God" might be the respectful title that those creatures in ancient times gave to the Creator... Klein looked thoughtfully at the young man opposite him, looking at his sad and painful emotions.

Derrick felt the Fool's gaze and lowered his head involuntarily.

He recalled the contents of the books and the legends his parents had told him, and spoke slowly and sadly:

"When the sun disappeared from the sky, when cracks appeared in the clouds, when lightning and thunder became dominant, the monsters hidden in the depths of darkness suddenly appeared. They were so terrifying and unimaginable that they destroyed the cities of the Silver Kingdom one after another... The 'Dark Age' of mankind has arrived."

"The remaining strong men gathered in the Silver City. Relying on their united strength and two magical items, they finally resisted the attack of the 'dark things' and gradually cleared the area within a day's journey for ordinary humans, establishing a city-state that protected the last flame of human civilization."

A standard textbook statement... Klein couldn't help but comment in his heart.

The other party's description always made him feel that the area where Silver City was located was not in the same world as the Northern Continent.

Perhaps this is the special thing about the God-forsaken Land? He thought without showing any emotion.

Derrick took a breath and continued:

"In the first few decades, plants could not grow and Silver City was seriously short of food. We could only rely on hunting dark monsters with flesh and certain mutated animals to fill our stomachs. The population began to decline rapidly and uncontrollably. Fortunately, we later found the 'Black Face Grass'. It can survive tenaciously in this environment and has become a reliable and stable source of food for us."

"It is believed to be the last favor left by the great gods. It allowed the City of Silver to survive from generation to generation, and lasted for 2,582 years in the 'Dark Age'."

"This is the time recorded by the 'chiefs' of all generations. The other citizens of Silver City consider the time when there are more lightning as day and the time when the lightning subsides as night. This alternation is considered a day... Because of this frequent confusion, we are unable to grasp the exact number of days."

What a strange place... Klein was glad that he didn't just say tomorrow, but instead described it vaguely as the next two days.

After Derrick briefly talked about a few memorable events in the history of the City of Silver, he turned and said:

"After the population recovered to a certain level, the number of Beyonders also increased. The 'Six-Man Council' began to organize elite teams to explore the darkness. Recently, as of today, we have explored the original land and nearby city-states, and are heading towards the deeper and more terrifying darkness. On the edge of there, we found a number of cities with strange styles but were destroyed. We suspect that these are shelters built by the remaining humans. Unfortunately, they were eventually swallowed up by the 'dark things'."

The "dark things" he described should refer to various monsters hidden in the depths of darkness that are unimaginable to normal people... Klein nodded slightly.

“…The Kingdom of Silver was once under the rule of the Giant King’s Court, so the extraordinary chain we have is the ‘Giant’ path, which we also call the ‘God’s Blood Warrior’ path… When we killed some monsters and explored those destroyed cities, we obtained some other sequence potion formulas, but the chain is not complete and has more or less defects.” Derrick began to introduce the current situation of the City of Silver.

Hearing this, Klein suddenly perked up. Although his posture did not change much, he was obviously more focused.

I like to learn about things related to sequence potions the most! Giant King's Court... Silver City and the Northern Continent have the same history? The history of the Second Epoch... Hmm, killing monsters will drop the recipe? Is this a game? No, there is another possibility, that is, those monsters were once humans, Beyonders... Klein suddenly felt a little heavy.

Seeing that the Fool didn't say anything, Derrick gritted his teeth and said after careful consideration:

"The names of the potion formulas for the 'Giant' pathway are, in order, Sequence 9 'Super Warrior', Sequence 8 'Gladiator', Sequence 7 'Weapon Master', Sequence 6 'Dawn Knight', Sequence 5 'Guardian', and Sequence 4 'Demon Hunter'. The names of higher sequences are only known to the elders of the 'Six-Man Council'."

Sequence 4 "Demon Hunter"... Is this the name of a high-sequence potion formula? This is the first time I've heard of something like this! Klein felt relieved that he finally had a "title" for a high-sequence warrior, but he suspected that this was an ancient name that was different from the current description of the Northern Continent, just like the difference between a "Storm Priest" and a "Navigator".

Hmm, Extraordinary Warrior, Gladiator, Weapon Master... It sounds familiar... Oh, right, the complete sequence mastered by the Church of the God of War is very similar to this! Sequence 9 "Warrior", Sequence 8 "Brawler", Sequence 7 "Weapon Master"! Due to confidentiality issues, Klein only knew the names of the first three formulas of the complete sequence of the Church of the God of War, but this did not prevent him from equating the two.

From the core meaning, it is basically the same... The complete sequence mastered by the Church of the God of War turned out to be the so-called "Giant" path... Did this god who was said to have appeared in the Third Age, that is, the Age of Cataclysm, inherit the legacy of the Giant King's Court? Or is he himself an ancient giant? Klein kept his eyes "calm" while analyzing and judging.

Derrick introduced:

"After overcoming the initial difficulties, the Silver City has been ruled by the 'Six-Man Council'. The elder in the highest position is honored as the 'Chief', and the other five are of equal rank... The current 'Six-Man Council' consists of three 'Demon Hunters', the two most promising 'Guardians', and a 'Shepherd'."

Shit, there are three high-sequence masters in the City of Silver! Masters who are half-gods and half-humans! One of them alone could have wiped out the Tarot Club hundreds of times... Klein felt guilty after hearing this. He had never tried to "recruit" a high-sequence master before.

However, considering that the boy opposite was just an ordinary person, not even Sequence 9, he would definitely not receive the attention of those in higher positions for a long time, so he felt relieved.

"Shepherd," is this from another sequence? Those incomplete sequences... They sound very similar to the style of the Aurora Society. That Aurora Society member whose name I forgot wrote a letter to Mr. Z in which he kept mentioning the "Lamb of the Lord"... Klein maintained his leisurely demeanor and asked casually:

"shepherd?"

"Yes, this is the sequence path we found from the cities destroyed by the 'Dark Things'. It only goes up to Sequence 5 'Shepherd'. But, but Elder Lovia is very powerful, very strange, and very scary. It is said that she once fought against high-level evil spirits without being injured. So, after a seat on the 'Six-Man Council' became vacant, she made an exception and became an elder." Derrick answered with some fear.

Klein thought for a moment and asked with a smile:

"What is the prequel to 'Shepherd'? This feels familiar to me. You know, the names in history are always different from the modern names."

"In the City of Silver, the name of the potion has never changed." Derrick retorted instinctively, then lowered his head and said, "Sequence 9 'Secret Prayer'..."

Sure enough! Klein was satisfied that his conjecture had been confirmed.

This is the Sequence 9 name of the "Aurora Society"!

"Sequence 8 'Whisperer', Sequence 7 'Monk', Sequence 6 'Rose Priest', Sequence 5 'Shepherd'." Derrick told him everything he knew.

Whisperer, listener, almost... Hey, I know more about the information of the Nighthawks' Tingen branch... Klein was in a good mood and motioned for Derrick to continue.

Derrick briefly described the current situation of the City of Silver, and finally couldn't help but mention:

"We are under a fateful curse. No matter if we are ordinary people or Extraordinary people, we will all become evil spirits after death. However, the evil spirits transformed from Extraordinary people are more bizarre, more terrifying, and more difficult to deal with. In history, this curse has nearly destroyed the City of Silver several times. The only solution is for someone of the same bloodline to personally end the life of the dying person."

“This is such a cruel thing. I hope you can become stronger and find a way to free the people of Silver City from the curse.” The empty-headed “Fool” Klein could only give the other party some free chicken soup.

"So, I want to be the sun, the sun... When the sun still shines on the earth and we are not cursed." Derrick whispered with difficulty and pain.

Klein nodded slightly and said:

"You will have a chance. Remember, I can drag you in here again at any time in the next two days. Try to avoid being with other people."

"Okay." Derrick replied in a deep voice.

"Before that, you need to determine your codename." Klein smiled and pointed to the surface of the long bronze table, where a deck of tarot cards had materialized.

He believed that the other party had never come into contact with such things, so he briefly introduced: "Choose a card as your code name, except for The Fool, Justice, and The Hanged Man."

Derrick took two steps forward, flipped through the tarot cards, and said without hesitation:

"'Sun', I choose 'Sun'."

"Remember your choice, it will accompany you throughout your life." Klein said in a familiar tone.

At the same time, he stretched out his hand and cut off the connection with great self-control, then watched the crimson light retract and the young man opposite him turn into a shadow and disappear bit by bit.
