At the top of the round tower, in the room belonging to the chief elder of the "Six-member Council".

Colin Iliad was tall even by Silver City standards, with messy, unkempt gray hair, deep wrinkles on his face, but no wrinkles on the rest of his face. There were some old scars that were either twisted or deep.

He wore a linen shirt, a brown coat, and a leather belt with many small squares around his waist. His light blue eyes were deep and seemed to be full of stories.

After Derrick finished his greeting, the Demon Hunter nodded slightly and pointed to the items on the table in front of him.

"Do you remember them?"

Derrick took a look and his gaze suddenly froze. Two translucent bugs as thick as a child's finger were reflected in his eyes.

"The Worm of Time"!

There are "Time Worms" with transparent rings one after another!

The "Worm of Time" originates from the clone of "The Blasphemer" Amon!

“I remember.” Derrick was silent for a second, then he instinctively answered, “Things left by Amon.”

Colin Iliad nodded imperceptibly and said:

"You coughed one of them out."

Without waiting for Derrick to speak, he said slowly:

"You once said that when you were possessed by Amon, you were in a confused state most of the time, like you were dreaming, and you only woke up occasionally."

Facing the chief's gaze, Derrick nodded continuously, indicating that he had indeed made a similar description.

Colin Iliad looked away and out the window, overlooking the buildings not far away:

"I probably never told you what you did during that time.

"You held two ceremonies, one with mystical elements and one that was more like a sacrifice. Both received certain responses. Do you still remember what happened at that time?"

Sure enough, when I asked Mr. Fool for help and used the secret ceremony to purify Amon’s clone, I was also monitored…Derrick was not surprised by the Chief’s words. He had long been guided by The Hanged Man and followed the idea that the elders of Silver City were experienced and would not let go of abnormal people. He came to the conclusion that he had been monitored since he left the dungeon. During the sacrifice ceremony, an obstacle emerged from the shadows, which initially confirmed his speculation.

“…I don’t have much impression.” Derrick pretended to think about it, then shook his head.

Colin, who was only observing from the corner of his eye, turned around and sighed:

“Think about it carefully again.

"These two bugs left by Amon are very valuable materials. I have been looking for ways to use them. If I can secretly make something out of them, it will be a trump card that no one else knows about, and it can play a key role at a critical moment.

“In the two ceremonies you went through, there might be symbols, ancient spells, and mysterious elements that you can refer to.

"Think about it more carefully."

In the past, Derrick would have only understood the Chief’s superficial meaning, but at this moment, he was able to “translate” the corresponding words a few seconds later into sentences that were not directly expressed:

“I know you still have some connection with Amon.

"The mausoleum of the former chief is about to be opened. I must make some extra preparations to prevent accidents and prevent Lovia and others from endangering Silver City's trump card. Please try to communicate and see if you can get help, or give me the details of the previous ceremony so that I can figure it out myself..."

Mr. Hanged Man was right. The higher the position, the more experienced and the more dangerous a person was, the more likely they were to use hints to euphemistically express their ideas, leaving room for both parties in the conversation... Derrick suddenly felt like he had truly mastered a certain skill.

Thinking that the Chief's purpose was to restrict Elder Lovia and the "Fallen Creator" represented by the other party, he felt that he had to do something. However, he had no idea how to use the "Worm of Time" and could only consider praying to Mr. Fool to see if he could get help.

"I'll try to recall. I need a quiet room." Derrick paused and responded carefully with his words.

Colin Iliad seemed to be well prepared. He raised his hand and pointed at the corridor.

"There are quite a few rooms with open doors across the street that are empty. Pick one for yourself."

“Yes, Your Excellency.” Derrick bowed and left. He randomly found an empty room, locked the door, and sat down in the dark corner. With his eyes slightly shining, he whispered a prayer.

…………

Disi Bay, Eskoson Port.

Klein carried his luggage and left the airship along the gangway, preparing to take the military base's carriage to the city.

As for the "Red Gloves" such as Daly Simone and Leonard Mitchell, they were the first to get off the airship, while Klein was ranked last and did not meet them.

After entering the city and finding a hotel to stay in, he was just about to lie down for a while to improve his sluggish state caused by not being able to sleep well last night due to various problems, when he suddenly heard illusory and overlapping prayers in his ears.

It sounds like a little "sun"... Klein covered his mouth and yawned, then entered the small bathroom. He took four steps backwards with difficulty and came to the top of the gray fog.

As he expected, the crimson star that symbolized the "sun" was the one that flickered and created ripples.

The spirituality spread outward and touched the past. Klein quickly figured out what the "Sun" was praying for.

The Chief of Silver City was asking the little "Sun", no, asking what he thought was Amon, how to use the "Time Worm" spell... Fortunately, I had this problem before, and I solved this question a long time ago... However, to use the "Time Worm" to make a powerful spell that can temporarily change fate, you need to pray to the "Fool". Doesn't this directly expose that the little "Sun" is not Amon, but another secret existence whose depth is unknown? Klein tapped the edge of the mottled long table with his right index finger, and seriously considered how to respond.

In less than a minute, he changed his mind and found that his previous worries were meaningless:

First of all, except for the "Shepherd" Elder Lovia, who may have received some enlightenment from the "True Creator", no one in the City of Silver knew the specific situation of Amon. They just guessed that it might be the "Angel of Time" among the eight angel kings around the Creator. Therefore, even if they knew the existence of "The Fool", they would most likely think that this was Amon's true body, or the god that Amon was serving now.

Secondly, the honorific name of The Fool is no longer a secret to Amon, the True Creator, the Blasphemer, and Elder Lovia, the Shepherd. It doesn't matter if more people in the City of Silver know it.

Secondly, the chief named Colin Iliad is still just a "demon hunter". Even if he has the honorific title of "The Fool" and a "level 0" seal, he can't do anything. After all, even "the Blasphemer" Amon and the "True Creator" didn't knock on my door in the middle of the night.

Finally, the chief of the "Six-Person Council" had long known that there was something wrong with the little "Sun", and now it was almost as if it was made clear.

Klein's thoughts raced, and he felt that he needed to be bolder. Perhaps he could use this opportunity to develop one or two subordinates in Silver City, no, believers, so that the little "Sun" would no longer have to fight alone.

Moreover, I have made great progress since I purified Amon's clone. I have accumulated more profound knowledge of mysticism and wielded the "Scepter of Poseidon". I can leverage more power from the mysterious space above the gray fog. I don't have to worry about any mistakes when facing a Sequence 4 demigod during the ritual... As long as I don't rashly pull people above the gray fog... Klein made a quick decision and turned the process of making the "Luck Stealer" spell into light and shadow, and cast it into the crimson star that symbolizes the "sun".

…………

Knock, knock, knock. The knocks echoed back into the chief room at the top of the round tower.

Even before the voice was heard, Colin Iliad already knew that Derrick Berg had opened the door and walked towards this side.

"Come in." He turned and headed towards the entrance.

Derrick pushed the door open, bowed and said:

"Your Excellency, I remember some vague details."

Colin Iliad nodded calmly and said:

"What are they?"

"Using pure silver and mercury as materials..." Derrick briefly described the first part of the ceremony, then paused and said, "I seemed to be reciting a noble name at the time: The Fool Who Does Not Belong to This Era."

Colin narrowed his eyes and suddenly interrupted:

"The corresponding symbol is the one left on the candle?"

"Yes." Derrick answered calmly, "The second part is about the mysterious master above the gray fog."

At this point, Colin interrupted him again:

"No other ritual materials are needed?"

“No need.” Derrick nodded with a little surprise.

Only then did he realize that the Chief seemed to be deliberately interrupting him from reciting Mr. Fool’s honorific name.

Yes, our common language is Giant language, which is a language that can mobilize the power of nature. If you recite the honorific name directly, it will inevitably produce various unknown effects. I know that Mr. Fool is a true god and is trustworthy, so I habitually say it all in one breath, but the Chief doesn’t know... Derrick suddenly realized something and continued:

"The third paragraph, the yellow and black king who controls good luck."

Colin listened quietly, nodded slightly and said:

"very good.

“Although I’m not sure whether what you recalled can provide any help, it is still a significant contribution. I will have someone increase your merit.

"Go back, or go to the library and read a book for a while."

“Yes, Your Excellency Chief.” Derrick breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was nothing else and quickly left the room at the top of the round tower.

Colin Iliad watched him leave, then walked to the chair behind the desk and sat down, casting his eyes on the two translucent segmented insects.

Right next to Xiao Chong, there was a notebook with a secret symbol consisting of half a "pupilless eye" and half a "twisted line" depicted on it.

Colin's gaze did not move for a long time, and his whole body seemed to have turned into a stone sculpture.

After a while, he slowly stood up and took out three candles.
