The "Craftsman" was suspected to be controlled by a cult or secret organization, so why did he still want to ask the "Hermit" for help? Just go to the "World"! Who knows where the "Future" is floating on the sea at this time, and how long it will take to get there, and the "World" can be "teleported"! After listening to the words of the "Hanged Man"'s prayer, Klein subconsciously refuted the other party's request in his mind, thinking that it would delay the opportunity and cause unnecessary losses.

He immediately calmed down, thinking that Mr. "The Hanged Man" was so cautious, experienced and capable that he would never make such a simple mistake. Since the other party thought that asking the "Hermit" for help was better than asking the "World" to solve the problem, there must be a corresponding reason.

In other words, Mr. Hanged Man judged that the situation was not urgent enough to take action immediately. He even wanted to observe for a while to find more clues and confirm more details... Moreover, since Ms. Hermit offered to help, it means that she believes that the area where she has been active recently overlaps with Mr. Hanged Man. If something really goes wrong, she can get there as quickly as possible... Or, does she have a similar ability to "teleport"? But this possibility is extremely low... Klein tapped the edge of the mottled long table with his fingers, and felt that he should still trust Mr. Hanged Man's experience.

Of course, this is also because the other party did not give a specific description of what they had discovered or what was suspicious, leaving him with no way of guessing or predicting the truth of the matter.

As his thoughts turned, Klein threw the prayer image of the "Hanged Man" into the crimson star that symbolized the "Hermit."

He was waiting for a reply from the "Admiral of the Stars" when he suddenly saw the star representing the "Sun" begin to shrink and expand, and layers of prayers were heard.

Did Silver City have preliminary results from its exploration of the former chief's mausoleum? Klein speculated and spread his spirituality over.

As he expected, the little "Sun" described exactly what happened after the three elders of the "Six-Man Council" opened the tomb of the former chief. This included encountering the souls of deceased relatives, crossing the illusory dark river that hid countless strange creatures, facing the former chief covered with white feathers in the form of an incomplete mythical creature, and the "shepherd" Lovia separating a shadow and trying to pounce on the illusory thin tube extending from the former chief's body, but Colin Iliad used the "Luck Stealer" spell to temporarily swap his own fate with the former chief, changing the outcome.

An illusory black tube... covered with white feathers stained with pale yellow oil... this sounds familiar... Oh, isn't this the main feature of some of the images I saw when I divined the abnormality of Azik's copper whistle? And the reason why the former chief built the mausoleum was because he wanted to transfer to the Sequence 3 "Ferryman" of the "Death God" path... As Klein listened, his brain worked rapidly, putting all the things he could associate with together, thinking about what conclusion he could draw.

Soon, he had a bold guess:

The mutation of the former chief of Silver City is related to the Spiritual Cult's plan to create an artificial death god!

Although this conclusion sounds incredible and hard to believe, because the City of Silver is located in the "God-forsaken Land" that is completely isolated from the outside world, and can only be entered and exited through some kind of connection between the "Giant King's Court" and the "God War Ruins", even the Seven Gods cannot find it and cannot infiltrate their power into it, but the similarities in many features allow Klein, who is sensitive to coincidences, to combine the performance of the "Shepherd" Elder Lovia in this operation and rule out several other possibilities. He has to seriously consider that the two things that seem to have no intersection may point to something together.

Based on the images he saw during divination and the experience of white hair growing out of the pores on the back of his hand when he failed to summon the product of the artificial death god, he verified the experiences of the three elders of the "Six-Man Council" of Silver City one by one, and initially suspected that the attempt of the Spiritual Cult might have achieved phased success to some extent:

Through a series of sacrificial rituals and the transformation of their own high-sequence strongmen, they reversely influenced the legacy of the god of death, allowing the more abstract and virtual "uniqueness" that represented the authority of the gods to gradually develop some ignorant instincts, allowing the totem and the concept to initially "come alive"!

Thus, this thing that had no wisdom and could not be called an "artificial god of death" began to assimilate with the entire ritual, eagerly exerting influence on the Beyonders of the same path and lower order.

When certain conditions are met, the thing hidden deep in the black fog can extend an illusory black tube, establish a connection with the target, absorb his power, and transform his body.

And this method may involve some special aspects of the underworld and the realm of death, which can bypass the power that isolates the "God-forsaken Land" and effectively contact the creatures inside!

"So, the shadow separated by the 'Shepherd' Elder Lovia came from the 'Gift' of the 'True Creator', and its purpose was to follow the illusory black thin tube on the former chief and reversely contaminate the remains of the God of Death? Maybe this is how the 'Mother Tree of Desire' replaced the 'Bound God' and took over the corresponding authority...

"Fortunately, the current chief of Silver City was very clear-headed. He knew in advance that he needed help from the secret existence behind Little Sun, and used the Luck Stealer spell to cleverly destroy the True Creator's plot...

"Well, one of the two powerful seals in the City of Silver seems to be very good at purification, restraining the shadows that could pollute the remains of the God of Death...

“Haha, it seems that I, the ‘Fool’, will be remembered by the ‘True Creator’ again. Of course, the one standing in the way is Amon. After all, the ‘Worm of Time’ was contributed by Him…” Klein, through the description of the little “Sun” and relying on his own speculation, vaguely grasped the hidden struggle in this exploration of the City of Silver.

At the same time, he felt that he could initially describe the psychological state of the "shepherd" elder:

To Lovia, the illusory black tube that could connect to the outside world was undoubtedly the key to Silver City's escape from the "God-forsaken Land". Therefore, she was very sure of her actions and had no regrets. She only thought that the Chief was the one who destroyed hope.

It’s not so terrible for someone to do bad things. The scariest thing is that the person does bad things that he thinks are right with a martyrdom mentality... Klein couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

As for why the little "Sun" knew so much about what happened in the mausoleum, he could figure it out with his toes. It must have been "Chief" Colin Iliad who told him in a casual tone.

At this time, "Sun" Derrick had already told me that the three elders had recovered a strange sealed object, which was a combination of the extraordinary characteristics left by the previous chief and his skull.

"The former Chief's Sequence 9 'Warrior' to Sequence 4 'Demon Hunter' all belong to the 'Giant' Path. The 'Ferryman' potion he took corresponds to the 'Death God' Path Sequence 3. The Beyonder characteristics of the two combined are definitely more bizarre and varied than those of a single path. Add to that the influence of the artificial Death God, and the final seal is definitely very strong. Of course, the negative effects are estimated to be equally strong...

“Well, the illusory dark rivers and various strange creatures described before most likely correspond to the underworld. This is similar to the scene I saw in the Raging Sea, and similar to the effect created by Miss Sharon’s magical item…” Klein thought casually as he heard the little “sun” end the exploration topic and instead mentioned a monster called a “shapeshifter.”

By the time "Sun" Derrick finished speaking, Klein himself felt that the shapeshifter was most likely a trickster monster.

He hurriedly picked up a gold coin from the pile of debris, did a quick divination, and confirmed his judgment.

“With Little Sun’s current strength, it’s definitely impossible to go hunting in the ruins of that city-state. We can only wait a little longer until the chief prays to The Fool again, or seeks help from Little Sun… Anyway, it’s not too urgent. I haven’t found the spirit world plunderer yet…” Klein nodded imperceptibly.

After pleading with Mr. Fool to pass the relevant information to Mr. World, Derrick the Sun said that he already had enough merits and would soon be able to exchange for the Beyonder characteristics of a Sequence 5 vampire and complete the previously agreed three-party deal, so he asked Mr. Moon to get ready.

…………

In the waters of the Rorsted Archipelago, on the slowly sailing "Future".

Admiral of the Stars Cattleya thanked Mr. Fool, pushed up her glasses, opened the window of the captain’s room, and shouted to everyone:

"Turn, go to Bayam."

After giving the order, the pirate general raised the corners of his mouth slightly, happy that he finally had the opportunity to establish a long-term relationship with a "craftsman".

But at this moment, she inexplicably thought of a question:

If he could easily get the help of a "craftsman", would Frank Lee, who had long been unable to obtain the formula for a Sequence 5 potion, try to make an item with the "Druid" Beyonder characteristic in order to push forward certain stalled experiments as soon as possible?

This is not a good thing... Cattleya subconsciously raised her hand and pinched her forehead.

…………

On the cruise ship, after finishing his business, Klein concentrated on enjoying his journey.

Because of the previous violent sea weather changes, the passenger ship he was on chose a longer, more tortuous but also safer route, and docked at a port called "Halman" that night.

Klein did not get off the ship. He asked for a window seat in the upper restaurant and had dinner.

While waiting for his food, he casually looked out the window, admiring the local night view.

Suddenly, he spotted a suspicious figure carrying luggage and preparing to board the ship.

The reason why it was suspicious was that the man not only wore a black coat and a tall hat, which concealed his body features, but also wrapped his face with a scarf, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

And those eyes were always looking at the ground, making it impossible to see their specific appearance.
