Chapter 200 Transactions and Mandates
"Godforsaken Lands!"
Hearing the special noun from the mouth of "Tower", Alger suddenly came back to his senses of surprise and looked sharply at "Sun" Derik who was a few seats away.
In the internal materials of the Church of the Storm Lord, in the secrets that Alger, a bishopric "captain", has access to, the "Godforsaken Land" will always have a name, no specific description, but it clearly points to the end of the Sunia Sea.
As far as he knew, even the cardinals at the heart of the Church did not know what the "Forsaken Lands" represented, and only the leaders of the Church, the "surrogates" of the Storm Lords, knew something about the situation and seemed to be secretly presiding over the covert search for the "Forsaken Lands".
In the previous Tarot Society, Alger had made a bold guess to equate the "Sanctuary", the real creator of the Aurora Society, with the "God's Forsaken Land", but unfortunately, the "Tower" refused to say more at the time, and Mr. "Fool" did not give him an answer, so he could not confirm it.
And now, he was shocked and stunned to find out that the members of the Tarot Society, codenamed "Sun", were actually born in the "Godforsaken Land"!
Although this is only an inference of "Tower", from his tone, Alger can judge that the other party is very sure.
And more importantly, the great being who is similar to a god at the top did not refute it silently!
Thinking of this, Alger looked at the figure at the top of the long table, shrouded in a thick mist, with a little trepidation, and thought with a little trembling in his heart:
"Mr. 'Fool' always knew where the 'Godforsaken Lands' were, and was able to pull members in from there? It's a hidden place that the Church of the Storm Lord has been looking for but never found! ”
Audrey was not shocked because she had no concept of the "God's Forsaken Land", but sighed in her heart: The origin of the "sun" is really not simple, and it is very mysterious.
Klein had guessed that the strange place the other party was in was the "Godforsaken Land" before Laderic entered the gray mist, and now with the corroboration of the words of the "Tower", he confirmed his previous suspicion.
"But the 'tower' actually knows a lot about the hidden history of the end of the second and early third centuries, and the identity is really not simple! Is he a godlike of any church? Or the heir of a high-ranking churchman? ”
While Crane was guessing, Darik reluctantly digested what Abner had said, roughly understood the meaning of the other party's words, and then asked with some uncertainty: "Mr. 'Tower', do you mean that there is a record of our Silver City in the place where you are?" Is there a record of the court of giants? And you are still being favored by the Lord, so your world will be 'normal'? And the place where our Silver City is located is what you call 'God's Forsaken Land'? ”
Abner nodded slightly and replied, "Generally speaking, nothing wrong, but ......"
But before he could finish his words, "Sun" Deric said incoherently with excitement: "Mr. 'Tower', can you help us in Silver City to pray to the Lord that He will take care of us again and let the sun rise again...... We have struggled in darkness for thousands of years, but we have never turned our backs on the Lord! At the beginning, we were ruled by the court of giants, and we believed in the cruel giant king Ormir, and it was the Lord who redeemed us, and we will never turn our backs on the Lord again! ”
Ruled by the Giant Court...... Ancient, indeed...... But it doesn't seem to correspond to ...... "Hanged Man" Alger suddenly thought of the description of the Second Age in the cryptic chapter of the Book of Storms:
The sky, sea, and earth were overrun by dragons, giants, elves, xenomorphs, demons, undead birds, wolves, and necromancy, and humanity was enslaved, but in the end, the Lord of the Storm, the Eternal Sun, and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom led humanity to defeat these transcendent creatures one by one, ushering in the "glorious age" of the beginning of the Third Age.
Giant King Ormir ...... Klein silently repeated the name.
In many myths and legends, it was a powerful being comparable to a god, and even today it is still worshipped in some places, such as the name "Ormir" for the most famous and expensive wine in the Republic of Antis, which is said to be a love of blood.
"Pay attention to the wording, Mr. 'Sun', this is the land of Mr. 'Fool'." "Justice" Audrey glanced at the "sun" worriedly and kindly reminded.
"Sun" Deric then came to his senses, although Mr. "Fool" claimed to be not a god, but the ability he showed was no different from that of a god, and his words just now were likely to anger this being.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly lowered his head and sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. 'Fool', I ...... I'm just a little emotional. In fact, he was not as devout as he said he had for the Lord who created everything, and there was even a hint of resentment in his heart.
"Don't be so inhibited, I said a long time ago that I'm just a 'fool' who likes to exchange for equivalence, and I don't usually get angry about small things...... Unless you violate my principles, or reveal my name to outsiders without my consent. Crane said in a deep, calm voice.
However, Derrick did not dare to take all this seriously, and still lowered his head and said in fear: "I see, Mr. 'Fool'. ”
"The Hanged Man," Alger suddenly interjected, "There is no Lord in our world who is the creator of all things, an all-knowing and all-powerful God...... Bless us are the seven Orthodox gods. ”
"Seven Orthodox Gods?" Derick was stunned, the news was completely beyond his imagination. However, after what happened just now, he didn't dare to continue the topic of gods, and planned to observe how others communicated, and after understanding where the bottom line was, he would try to ask again.
On the other side, the "hanging man" Alger did not mean to explain, he found great potential value in Derick, and naturally provoked the interest of the other party while keeping it safe, so that he could get more at the lowest cost.
As for what exactly he can get from the "sun", he hasn't thought about it yet, in short, he has to be prepared.
I just don't know if the "tower" can think of this layer and cooperate with me...... Alger glanced at Abner and thought to himself.
Abner's thoughts about Alger have long been clear, isn't it just wool? This is actually his plan.
The reason why he found out that the other party was in the "God's Forsaken Land" just now, in addition to taking the opportunity to show off and sell his persona, was to skip those unnecessary temptation stages and be able to use the many rare resources of Shangyin City as soon as possible.
So, after pondering for a moment, Abner asked directly to Daric, "You said before that there are many monsters and supernatural creatures near Silver City?" ”
"Yes." Derrick nodded honestly.
"Then do you know the 'Thousand Spell Phantom'?" Abner asked, expectantly.
"I know, it's a type of wurm, it's small, its form is between real and unreal, and it will crystallize after death. The protective facilities of many important buildings in Silver City are arranged on the basis of this crystal. Derick replied in standard textbook terms.
"Very good...... I need the 'Crystallization of a Thousand Phantoms', and if you can get one, I can pay you accordingly...... Well, don't know what you need? Abner directly asked about the needs of the "sun" and did not give him a chance to hesitate to refuse.
Dyric had obviously not experienced this kind of rhetoric, and without much thought, he followed Abner's words and said, "I need the initial sequence recipe for the 'Sun' pathway...... However, I don't have anything that I can exchange for the Thousand Magic Phantom Crystals...... And it's not the same as the Sequence 9 potion recipe. ”
"Hehe, you can help me ask what the seller of the 'Thousand Spells Phantom Crystal' needs, as for the exchanged items, I will naturally provide them. And I will try my best to find the formula of the 'Praiser' for you, and it will be used as your 'intermediary fee'. Well, 'Hymn' is the name of the initial sequence of the 'Sun' pathway. Abner said with a smile.
He didn't say he knew the recipe now, as if he was prepared.
Although Derrick had never heard of the term "intermediary fee", he finally understood its meaning under the simultaneous translation of Mr. "Fool", so he said sincerely: "You are really a good man, Mr. 'Tower'. I'll help you find out as soon as possible......"
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, and asked again, "How can I notify you when I have asked what items are needed to be exchanged?" And how do you give me the items? ”
"Inform me that I just need to pray to Mr. 'Fool'...... As for receiving things, will you be 'sacrificial' and receive the ritual of 'giving'? Abner said with a smile.
"Know...... However, Mr. Fool's symbolic symbol ...... "Sun" Derick is a little embarrassed.
At this time, Crane, who was sitting at the top, knocked on the edge of the long bronze table and said with a smile: "Regarding the flow and symbolism of the ceremony, when you pray to me when you go back, you will naturally know." ”
Speaking of this, he looked at the "Tower" again and said in a steady tone: "I have the formula for the 'Praiser' here, and I know that you can find it, but it will take at least a week, and if the 'Sun' can become an extraordinary person earlier, it will be easier to negotiate with others. ”
Klein, who had finally interjected into the topic, decided to come forward, because he didn't say anything more, wouldn't the formula of the 'Praiser' be smashed in his hands? How could this be worthy of the suffering he suffered in divining the "Eternal Sun".
Is this asking me to pay for it? But I know it, but I don't want to make people suspicious, why spend money......
Abner was a little entangled in his heart, but he still showed a look of interest, and cautiously asked, "What do I need to give?" More Russell Diaries? "If that's the case, it's fine, it's a big deal to take the time to weave some of the Emperor's lace.
It also made Klein understand that useless information can only be exchanged for useless intelligence.
Mr. "Fool" tapped his finger again on the edge of the ancient long table and chuckled, "I would like to entrust you with a mission,...... This task actually came from one of my dependents. Hehe, speaking of which, he's the most likely to be inspected for the 'Fallen Morning Star', and if you can get this done well, he might be able to help you find out the source of that item in the future.
"And the 'Praiser' formula is paid in advance to you as a reward."
"Don't know what the mission is?" Abner pretended not to know that the other party was a trinity of gods, dependents, and believers.
"I need you to look up the life story of the original Baron Lamb, the more detailed the better...... Well, you can ask the lady you recommended to join the Tarot Society for help, as a test of her abilities...... I'm okay with her situation, but I need to see more. ”
