Chapter 193 Thoughts on Silver City

460

Derrick's eyes widened. He was a little surprised, but not panicked.

The external manifestation of the "Secret Prayer's" flesh and blood magic has always been scary, but in Silver City, it is useful as long as it can save one's life and increase one's strength. Derrick, who has experienced many battles, is not afraid of flesh and blood, but is surprised by the meaning of these words——

I have no ill intentions?

Who is this? It doesn't seem to be Elder Lovia's idea. Could it be that someone is using Elder Lovia to deliver news to the chief?

It’s so special. Is this method unique to the “Secret Prayer” path?

Just such a sentence is really strange. If you are from Silver City, there is no need to bother and just report it directly to the six-person council. Since this person did not do this, it proves that he is temporarily unable to communicate face-to-face with the chief, which means...

Derrick was shocked.

This may be someone from outside Silver City delivering news!

If your guess is correct, this is the first time Silver City has seen an outsider in thousands of years!

Are there any other remaining cities in the God-Forsaken Land?

All kinds of speculations made his blood boil. He looked away from the squirming flesh and raised his head to look at Elder Lovia opposite, only to see that the other party was also looking at him unblinkingly.

Derrick wanted to lower his head at first, but then he felt blessed in his heart and felt that the current situation seemed a bit subtle.

——I don’t need to feel guilty! "Sun" encouraged himself in his heart: Mr. "Fool" is not the enemy of the Lord. The chief and Elder Lovia may not know that the Lord is gradually trying to get rid of madness, but I have been personally acknowledged by the gods... But I also You can't tell them this directly. Alas, is this how adults talk? It's really troublesome to not be able to speak directly... With an outsider this time, maybe we can see if we can find an opportunity to hint at this matter.

So Derrick held his head high and looked into Lovia's eyes with piercing eyes.

Lovia looked at him doubtfully, then looked away and looked at Colin Iliad:

"Chief, do you know the source of this information?"

At the same time, she glanced in Derrick's direction, as if asking why he was still standing here.

Colin shook his head slightly and did not let Derrick leave. Instead, he spoke calmly and slowly in front of the two of them:

"Perhaps you have guessed it."

"Some outsiders have come near Silver City and are eager to negotiate with us."

Even though Derrick had already learned a lot about interpersonal communication and self-hiding in the Tarot Club, he still had a dreamlike feeling after hearing the chief personally stamp his seal.

Lovia was also restrained and asked in a somewhat erratic tone: "Really...?"

"How many of them came?"

"There is only one. Judging from the appearance, it is a male human with the same giant bloodline as us."

"There is only one..." Lovia said to herself, her eyes brightened, and she was not disappointed. "What city-state does he come from? How far is it from Silver City?"

"He claims to be from Emerald City and is waiting five hundred meters outside the watchtower southeast of Silver City."

Five hundred meters away... Five hundred meters away from Silver City, he used the special communication method of "Secret Prayer" to contact Elder Lovia and asked her to convey the message on his behalf? Derrick immediately thought of one thing - the visitor might be a "Secret Prayer" stronger than Elder Lovia, and most likely a sequence under the "Black Knight". If the negotiations are done properly, Silver City might be able to make up for it. Get the magic potion formula of "Secret Prayer" Sequence 3!

Silver City has never had a Sequence 3 recipe. Every demigod is stuck in this sequence and cannot go any further.

The visit of outsiders, information from other cities, and the potion formula of the demigod sequence, three important things actually appeared at the same time!

Is this the good luck the "Angel of Destiny" bestows on Silver City? Is this a sign that Silver City is about to face redemption?

Derrick clenched his fists excitedly. In front of the two elders, he, a newly promoted Beyonder team leader, had no right to speak. He could only prick up his ears and show his eyes seeking knowledge, expecting the two elders to say more.

"Emerald City?" Lovia, who was determined to become stronger and advance in rank, had limited knowledge of the geography and ancient mythology of the God-Forsaken Land, and showed a puzzled expression to the chief, "Is this city included in the records of Silver City? Which direction? Has our exploration team been there?"

"That's why I hesitated."

Colin Iliad replied in a deep voice: "According to the records of Silver City, when the sun had not yet set and the all-knowing and all-powerful Lord was protecting this land, the Kingdom of Silver did have an ally named Emerald. According to records, that It is the city that the Lord loves, and it is also a medium-sized city-state where humans are the main people and foreigners coexist in a friendly manner. There is even a devout monk among them who became an angel and entered the Kingdom of God while he was still alive."

"But if the record is correct, the Emerald City had already lost news as early as the early days of the 'Catastrophe'."

"Of course, we do not rule out the possibility of reconstruction or the same name. The specific information may have to be obtained from the visitors."

If a guest from a city-state that had been destroyed for thousands of years was in the outside world, would it also become a favorite horror story of Miss "Magician"? However, it was equally terrifying in Silver City... Derrick felt heat on his back again, and unspeakable emotions and strong curiosity surged in his heart, making him worry about gain and loss.

Lovia was also immersed in her own thoughts. No one of them spoke first, but it was obvious that they all had their own ideas. They just looked at each other in silence, trying to get confirmation from others.

The pieces of flesh and blood that fell on the table were squirming. Elder Lovia reached over, grabbed them, crushed them and smeared them on her arms, and they soon became one body - she felt that if she ate these pieces of meat directly If you go on, it will leave an indelible bad impression on the only young man present. But even though Lovia was already very considerate and reserved, Derrick was still too shocked to say a word.

At this moment, the chief spoke:

"This is an important event. I will convene a six-member council to discuss it within today. Now, I want to hear your thoughts."

He first looked at Lovia, who nodded and said while thinking:

"I think communication is necessary."

"This is the first time in a thousand years that an outsider has visited. Silver City needs to communicate with other cities to find a way out for the future. But..."

There was a trace of hesitation and struggle on Lovia's face: "...But the Emerald City may have been destroyed, and the strength of the coming person is very likely to exceed our imagination. It may not even be a human being, but some kind of extremely powerful person deep in the darkness. A smart monster, blind negotiation is the wrong option. In addition, he appeared directly near Silver City. The distance of 500 meters cannot allow us to prepare for battle or defense immediately. It is too close."

Lovia's attitude is to continue to wait and see and investigate before making a decision. This is a conservative and reasonable answer.

Even though he knew that the other party was probably a high-sequence powerhouse of the "Secret Prayer", he still chose to observe and restrain... Elder Lovia is more rational than I thought. Can this be regarded as the "Fallen Creator"? ”Another solid piece of evidence for recovery? Derrick thought to himself.

"Your concerns are correct," the chief nodded slowly.

Then, Colin looked at Derrick.

"What do you think?"

Logically speaking, my best answer is to repeat what Elder Lovia said, or directly say, "I don't know, but I rely on the chief's judgment." But this may be an opportunity. I hinted at Mr. "Fool" and the Lord's Chance!

But I can't say it directly! How to give a hint and what is the best answer...

Derrick was thinking at the speed of light. He thought he was acting calm, but in fact his face was serious and sweat was constantly spilling from his forehead. However, this was also in line with the young man's nervousness about being questioned by the chief himself, and the two elders did not find it strange.

"I think……"

Derrick spent a lot of effort and almost blurted out a few words:

"I agree with Elder Lovia's idea. Although it is dangerous and uncontrollable, this is also an opportunity."

After saying these words, Derrick felt his breathing became easier. The chief motioned him to continue with his eyes. At the same time, Elder Lovia frowned slightly in confusion, as if she still didn't understand why "Derrick Berg" was always against him. "He actually echoed his own thoughts on this matter.

"But I also have my own opinions."

"As Elder Lovia said, the stranger is too close to Silver City now. If he has malicious intentions, it will be difficult for Silver City to make effective defense measures in a short time." Derrick took a deep breath and said , "In other words, the other party could actually attack at any time, but he chose to retreat and wait, and sent the message of 'no malice' through you..."

Lovia's eyebrows knitted tighter.

Derrick mustered up the courage to finish his sentence: "So, in this case, I think that constant avoidance and vigilance will make the other party dissatisfied."

Before he finished speaking, Lovia retorted in a bad tone: "Derrick Berg, you want to bet the fate of everyone in Silver City that the other party has no ill intentions? You mean, we can't resist anyway, Why not just give up resistance and take a gamble?"

"If he is a monster, if he has malicious intentions, Silver City will be in danger because of your decision!"

"How are you going to explain it to the people who died in the accident?"

The good impression she had just developed towards Derrick disappeared without a trace in an instant, and she once again recalled that this boy communicated with unknown existences and repeatedly caused trouble for her in spreading the faith of the Lord!

Elder Lovia is very rational! As soon as I expressed my objection, she was already imagining the worst case scenario and coming to pressure me. Derrick felt very relieved and struggled to continue arguing:

"The chief said that the stranger is carrying an extraordinary item that has a high probability of purification, so he cannot be a monster."

"Perhaps the monsters in the depths of darkness have evolved resistance to light and purification, or the high-ranking existence of the Thousand-faced Hunter can change the appearance of others, blinding the senses of the patrol team."

"He also carries the sign of the Lord! He also showed it to the patrol team. It is impossible for ordinary monsters to understand the meaning of the sign!"

Seeing that Lovia was still going to speak, Derrick was also a little anxious. But he immediately realized that both of their emotions had been aroused, and they began to simply refute each other rather than discuss rationally. Derrick quickly said:

"I'm just expressing my thoughts, and everything is subject to the judgment of the six-member council."

As soon as these words were spoken, Lovia took back the words she was about to say and managed to calm down.

Colin nodded slightly, with no emotion or anger on his face, and suddenly asked: "Is there anything else?"

...This sentence should not be asking me, but hinting at the great existence I am in contact with! ...The chief still seems to think that the person I contacted is "Amon". Maybe he will have to find time to clarify for Mr. "Fool" in the future... Derrick's radar jumped, his thoughts changed rapidly, and his thinking was unprecedented. Quickly, I thought of a decent answer in an instant:

"No more." He looked directly into the chief's eyes and said with a relaxed expression, "This is a good thing."

Colin looked at him thoughtfully twice, then waved his hand: "I understand, I will convene a six-person meeting to discuss this matter. Derrick Berg, please go back."

Derrick was relieved in his heart and almost smiled. He saluted the two elders and left the round tower quickly.

Lovia looked at his leaving back and then at the silent chief, feeling that she might have overlooked some information.

It’s a new day, the weather is nice and there’s nothing to do.

Klein woke up in the comfortable and soft single bed of the "Tiana" hotel and yawned. Klein, who had always lived in tension and excitement, felt empty and unreal in his now too leisurely life, and he began to think about doing something.

What can you do at sea? Robbery from the rich and giving to the poor? Be a pirate? Be a treasure hunter or adventurer? It's definitely not possible to be a pirate anyway, but Klein must admit that he simply cannot forget the mouth-watering numbers on the pirate's wanted poster.

Although there is no shortage of money now, whether it is potion materials or extraordinary items, they are very expensive and can be prepared for the future... Klein slowly stood up, and then slowly lay down in the cool morning air. Go back and be sealed by the quilt willingly.

"Kill a few pirates to save money? This is a good way, but the pirates who show up carelessly only have a bounty of dozens of pounds. Even if mosquito legs are meat, you have to save hundreds of mosquito legs to save enough materials. Money. There will be other expenses in this process, which is thankless..."

Klein was lying on the bed muttering, looking at the sliver of sky outside the curtains:

"Previously, 'Lieutenant General Disease' spent a thousand pounds on a bounty for Elaine. The pirate generals all have their own channels for making money. Robbery or human trafficking is the fastest way. 'Lieutenant General Disease''s third officer, Misor King He was a big pirate worth 5,400 pounds. It’s a pity that he was also on the Black Death on the night of the incident. He probably has no bones left, or his head is left to collect the reward..."

"Tracy's subordinates are now like the god of plague. No pirate general wants to recruit them. Qilingos led them, and Qilingos died. Tracy took them in, and Tracy died again. If this continues, these little The pirates will form their own pirate groups, and their bounties will naturally rise with the tide... Scientific pig farming?"

Klein laughed, not wanting to move, and his spirit was light: "Gehrman Sparrow's character is a crazy adventurer, but this character has not been fully established yet, except in front of Daniz."

With one effort, he sat up from the quilt, took a few breaths of the fresh and cold morning air, and quickly got up to wash up.

Next, go to the bar where Byam adventurers and pirates gather to see if you can come across any commissions or clues about targets worth hunting. Klein made a plan, put on his coat after washing, and hurried out.

…

Backlund, Harvest Church.

Emlyn White held a strange badge the size of an eyeball and said in his heart:

"'World' is really long-winded. Isn't it just to go to Pinster Street in the North District to find a nighthawk named Leonard Mitchell? He even specifically emphasized that the other party has secrets and will most likely be able to drag people into dreams.

"This is doubting my ability!"

Emlyn stood up, put on a tuxedo and a white shirt, and looked sideways out the window.

Haha, he has a secret, and I also have a secret. I bet that Lord Nibais or some earl is watching me secretly. If something unexpected happens, he will definitely provide some help... Dreaming... Emlyn thought about it In a few seconds, he took out each small metal bottle and mixed a bottle of blue potion with the spiritual materials inside.

Putting away the bottles and potions, he picked up his silk hat, walked out of the lounge, said goodbye to Bishop Utravsky, and left the Harvest Church.

It was just morning, but the sky in Backlund was very dark, and a thin mist filled the air like water.

Emlyn squinted his eyes, put on his hat, and muttered to himself:

"The sun is a bit dazzling..."

He stopped a taxi, went straight to the steam subway station, and bought a first-class ticket to the North District for 6 pence.

This saves a lot of time than going directly!

More than forty minutes later, he arrived at his destination and stood outside the gate of No. 7 Pinster Street.

Emlyn rang the doorbell politely and waited patiently for a minute.

He was just about to write a note and stuff it under the door to agree on a time for his next visit, when he finally heard lazy footsteps approaching.

It's not like a servant... Emlyn nodded slightly, took out the potion that he had mixed before, unscrewed the lid, and drank it all.

Then, he saw the door open, and saw a man with dark hair and green eyes appearing in front of him. He saw that the man was wearing a home white shirt and black trousers. The hem of the clothes was pulled out, swaying in the wind, and his temperament was unrestrained. A bit unruly.

Although he is a believer in the dark night, he has to say that his appearance is still comparable to that of our vampires... Emlyn took off his hat, raised his chin slightly and said:

"Good morning, are you Mr. Leonard Mitchell?"

Leonard frowned inconspicuously, looked at the handsome man with a pair of striking red eyes in front of him, raised his hand to cover his mouth, and seemed to yawn inadvertently:

"Who are you?"

"A visitor, I have something to ask you for help." Emlyn did not reveal his identity and smiled slightly arrogantly.

This attitude and this feeling gave Leonard an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen himself in the past, always thinking that he was the most special one and the protagonist of the era.

He cleared his throat and said: "I am just an ordinary citizen and do not accept commissions."

"If you have any questions, you can go to the private detective."

Emlyn White smiled and said: "Only you can complete this matter."

He glanced left and right and continued:

"I want to buy a magical item that can steal other people's extraordinary abilities."

Leonard's eyes narrowed and he asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?"

At this time, Emlyn did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked around and said with a smile: "It's really amazing. I was dragged into the dream without even noticing."

He was not in a hurry to leave here, and took out the small badge from "The World" under Leonard Mitchell's solemn expression.

Leonard took a look, his expression softened a little, he tilted his head slightly and paused for a few seconds.

In silence, Emlyn White saw the surrounding scenes quickly shatter and disappear, like pieces of glass being broken at the same time.

Leonard snorted and pointed inside the room:

"Let's talk after you come in."
