Chapter 179: Silver City's Thoughts

460

Darek's eyes widened, he was a little surprised, but not flustered.

The outward manifestation of the flesh and blood magic of the "Secret Prayer Man" has always been very frightening, but in Silver City, as long as it can save his life and improve his strength, it is useful. Delik, who is also a battle-hardened man, is not afraid of flesh and blood, but is surprised by the meaning of these words-

Am I not malicious?

Who's this? It doesn't seem to be Elder Lovia's idea, could it be that someone is using Elder Lovia to deliver the message to the Chief?

It's so special, is this method unique to the "secret prayer person" path?

It's really strange to just say this, if it's someone from Silver City, there's no need to make another move, just report it directly to the six-person council. Since this person did not do so, it proves that he is temporarily unable to communicate face-to-face with the Chief, that is......

Darerick's heart shook.

This may be someone from outside the Silver City delivering a message!

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

Are there any other cities left in Godforsaken?

All kinds of speculation made his blood boil, and he looked away from the wriggling flesh and looked up at Elder Lovia opposite, only to see that the other party was also looking at him without blinking.

At first, Derrick wanted to lower his head, but then he felt that the current situation seemed to be a little delicate.

- I don't need to be weak-hearted! "Sun" cheered himself up in his heart: "Mr. Fool" is not an enemy of the Lord, and 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 can't tell them about it directly, hey, is this how adults speak? It's really troublesome not to be able to say it directly...... With outsiders this time, maybe we can see if we can find an opportunity to hint at this matter.

So Darik held his head high and looked into Lovia's eyes with blazing eyes.

Lovia looked at him suspiciously, staggered her gaze, and looked at Colin Rinriat:

"Chief, do you know where this message came from?"

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

Colin shook his head slightly, and instead of letting Derick leave, he spoke calmly and slowly in front of the two:

"Maybe you've already guessed it."

"Outsiders have come to the vicinity of Silver City, eager to negotiate with us."

Even though Dyric had already learned a lot about interpersonal communication and self-concealment in the Tarot Society, he still had a dreamlike feeling after hearing the chief seal himself.

Luo Wei was also suppressed, and asked in a somewhat erratic tone, "Really...... Is it? ”

"How many of them came?"

"There is only one. In appearance, it is a male human of the same giant blood as us. ”

"There's only one ......," Lovia muttered to herself, her eyes shining brightly, and she wasn't disappointed, "where is the city-state he from?" How far is it from Silver City? ”

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

500 meters away...... Five hundred meters away from Silver City, he used the special communication method of the "Secret Prayer Man" to join Elder Luo Weiya and asked her to convey the news on his behalf? Deric immediately thought of one thing - the visitor may be a "secret prayer person" who is stronger than Elder Lovea, and it is very likely that it is a sequence under the "Black Knight", if the negotiation is done properly, Silver City may be able to complete the potion formula of the "secret prayer person" sequence 3!

Silver City has never had a recipe for Sequence 3, and every demigod is stuck in this sequence, unable to go any further,

Visits from outsiders, information from other cities, and potion recipes for the demigod path, three important things actually appeared at the same time!

Could it be that this is the good fortune that the "Angel of Destiny" gave to Silver City? Is this a sign of the impending salvation of the Silver City?

Derick clenched his fists excitedly, in front of the two elders, he was a newly promoted Extraordinary Squad Leader who had no right to speak, so he could only prick up his ears and show his inquiring eyes, expecting the two elders to say more.

"Emerald City?" Lovia, who was bent on becoming stronger and improving the sequence, had limited knowledge of the geography and ancient mythology of the Godforsaken Lands, and showed a puzzled expression at the chief, "Is there this city in the records of Silver City?" In which direction? Has our exploration team ever been? ”

"That's why I hesitated."

Colin Ngillat replied in a deep voice, "In the records of the Silver City, when the sun had not yet set and the all-knowing and all-powerful Lord had sheltered the land, the Silver Land did have a friendly nation called Emerald. It is recorded that it was a city favored by the Lord, and it was also a medium-sized city-state dominated by humans and friendly coexistence of foreign races, and there was even a pious monk who became an angel and entered the kingdom of God while he was alive. ”

"But if the record is correct, as early as the early days of the 'Cataclysm', the Emerald City has already cut off the news."

Of course, the possibility of rebuilding or having the same name cannot be ruled out. Specific information may have to be obtained from the visitor. ”

If a guest from a city-state that has been destroyed for thousands of years, if he is in the outside world, will he also become Miss "The Magician" favorite thriller story? However, it is just as terrifying and terrifying in Silver City...... Dyric felt his back heat up again, and unspeakable emotions and intense curiosity churned through his heart, making him suffer a little.

Lovia was also immersed in her own thoughts, neither of them spoke first, but it was clear that they both had their own thoughts, just silently looking at each other, trying to verify them from the others.

The few pieces of flesh that had fallen on the table squirmed, and Elder Lovia reached for them, grabbed them, crumpled them and smeared them on her arm, and soon became oneβ€”she felt that if she ate them directly, she would make an indelible bad impression on the only young man present. But even though Lovia was already very considerate and reserved, Darik was still too shocked to squeak.

Just then, the Chief spoke:

"This is an important event, and I will convene a six-member meeting today to discuss it. Now, I'd like to hear your thoughts. ”

He looked at Lovia first, and Lovia nodded, and said as she thought:

"I think communication is necessary."

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

There was a hint of hesitation and struggle on Lovia's face: "...... But the Emerald City may have been destroyed, and the strength of the people who came here is likely to be beyond our imagination, and it may not even be human, but some kind of monster with extremely high intelligence in the depths of the darkness, and blind negotiation is the wrong option. In addition, he appeared directly near Silver City, and the distance of five hundred meters could not allow us to immediately prepare for battle or defense, it was too close. ”

Lovia's attitude is to continue to wait and see and scout before making a decision, which is a conservative and reasonable answer.

On the premise of knowing that the other party is likely to be a high-level powerhouse of the "secret prayer person", he still chose to observe and restrain himself...... Is Elder Lovia more rational than I thought, but could this be another strong argument for the restoration of the "fallen Creator"? Dyric thought to himself.

"You're right to be suspicious," the Chief nodded slowly.

Colin then looked at Darik.

"What do you think?"

It stands to reason that my best answer would be to repeat Elder Lovia's words, or simply say, "I don't know, but I'll judge by the Chief," but this could be an opportunity, and I hint at Mr. Fool and the Lord's chance!

But I can't say it straight! How to hint and how to answer......

Daerik thought at the speed of light, he thought he was acting calm, but in reality he had a serious complexion, and sweat was constantly spilling from his forehead. However, this was also in line with the nervousness of the young man being questioned by the chief himself, and the two elders did not find it strange.

"I think ......"

It took a great deal of effort for Derrick to burst out almost in a few words:

"I agree with Elder Love, although it is dangerous and uncontrollable, it is also an opportunity."

After these words, Derik felt his breathing a little easier, and the Chief motioned for him to continue, while Elder Lovia frowned slightly in confusion, as if he still didn't understand why "Derik Berg", who was always against him, actually agreed with his own ideas on this matter.

"However, I also have my own opinions."

"Just like Elder Lovia said, strangers are too close to Silver City now, and if they harbor malicious intent, it will be difficult for Silver City to make effective defenses in a short period of time." Derrick took a deep breath and said, "In other words, the other party can attack at any time, but he chose to step back and wait, and through you he sent a message of 'no malice'......"

Lovia's eyebrows tightened.

Derrick plucked up the courage to finish: "So, in this case, I think that constant avoidance and vigilance will make the other party resentful. ”

Before he could finish speaking, Lovia retorted in an unkind tone: "Derick Berg, you want to gamble on the fate of everyone in Silver City with no malice?" You mean, we can't resist anyway, so why don't we just give up resistance and gamble? ”

"In case he is a monster, in case he harbors malice, Silver City will be in danger because of your decision!"

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

The good feeling in her heart for Darek disappeared without a trace in an instant, and she once again recalled that this kid had communicated with an unknown being, and had repeatedly added chaos to her matter of spreading the faith of the Lord!

Elder Lovia is very rational! No sooner had I retorted than she had already begun to envision the worst possible development and was coming to press me. Derick was relieved and struggled to continue arguing:

"The chief said, if a stranger carries an extraordinary item with a high probability of purifying power, then he can't be a monster."

"Maybe it's the monsters in the depths of the darkness that have evolved their patience for light and purification, or the high-ranking presence of the Hunter of a Thousand Faces, who is able to change the appearance of others and blind the senses of patrol teams."

He also carried the sign of the Lord! He also showed it to the patrol party, and it was impossible for ordinary monsters to understand the meaning of the emblem! ”

Seeing that Lovia was about to speak, Darek was also a little anxious. But he immediately realized that the emotions of both of them had been stirred up, and began to simply refute the other rather than discuss rationally, and Deric hastened to say:

"I'm just expressing my thoughts, and everything is subject to the judgment of the Council of Six."

As soon as these words came out, Luo Wei put back the words that were about to be spoken, and barely calmed down.

Colin nodded slightly, his face not showing joy and anger, and suddenly asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

…… This sentence should not be asking me, but implying the meaning of the great being with whom I connect! …… The Chief still thinks that I am in contact with "Amon", and maybe I will have to find a time to clarify it in the future...... Derik Radar jumped, his thoughts raced, his mind was faster than ever, and in an instant he thought of a proper answer:

"Nope." He looked into the Chief's eyes and said, his face relaxed, "That's a good thing. ”

Colin looked at him thoughtfully, then waved his hand, "I see, I'll be anxious for the Council of Six to discuss this matter." Derick Berg, go back. ”

Darek breathed a sigh of relief and almost smiled. He saluted the two elders and quickly left the tower.

Lovia looked at his departing back, and then at the silent chief, always feeling that she might have overlooked something.

It's a new day, the weather is fine, and there's nothing to do.

Crane woke up in the comfortable and soft single bed of the "Teyana" inn and yawned. Crane, who had always lived in tension and excitement, felt empty and unreal in his now too laid-back life, and he began to think about what to do.

What can be done at sea? Robbing the rich and helping the poor? When a pirate? Be a treasure hunter or an adventurer? It's not okay to be a pirate anyway, but Crane must admit that he can't forget the mouth-watering numbers on the pirate's wanted warrant.

Although there is no shortage of money now, whether it is potion materials or extraordinary items, it is a very money-consuming thing that can be prepared for the future...... Crane got up slowly, then slowly lay back in the cool morning air, willingly sealed by the bed.

"Kill a few pirates to save money? This is a good idea, but the pirates who can show up in a big way are basically only a few dozen pounds bounty, even if the mosquito legs are meat, and they have to save hundreds of mosquito legs to save enough money for a single material. There will be other expenses in the process, which will be thankless......"

Crane lay on the bed and cooed, his eyes looking at the sky outside the curtain crack:

"Before, the 'Sick Lieutenant General' spent a thousand pounds to reward Yin Lian, and the pirate generals had their own channels for getting money, and looting or trafficking in people was the fastest way. The third mate of the Sick Admiral', Misool King, is a great pirate worth 5,400 pounds, but unfortunately he was also on the 'Black Death' on the night of the incident, and it is estimated that there are no bones left, or he has a head to receive the reward......"

"Tracy's subordinates are now like the plague gods, and no pirate general wants to be co-opted. Ziringers took them, and Zilingus died. Tracy was co-opted, Tracy died again, and if this continues, these little pirates will have to form their own pirate group, and their bounties will naturally rise...... Scientific pig breeding? ”

Crane laughed, didn't want to move, and was in a brisk spirit: "Gelman Sparrow's character is a crazy adventurer, but he hasn't completely erected this character yet, except in front of Daniz. ”

With all his strength, he sat up from the seal of the bed, took a few breaths of the fresh, cold air of the morning, and quickly got up to wash.

Next, wander through the bars full of Baiam adventurers and pirates to see if you can come across any commissions or clues to worthy targets. Crane made a plan, washed up, put on his coat, and walked out quickly.

……

Beckland, Harvest Church.

Emlyn White held a peculiar badge the size of an eyeball, and heaved in her heart:

"'The World' is so verbose, isn't it just going to Pinster Street in the North End to find a night watchman named Leonard Mitchell? even specifically emphasized that the other party has a secret, and there is a high probability that it can drag people into dreams.

"This is a doubt about my abilities!"

Emlyn stood up, changed into a tuxedo and white shirt, and looked sideways out the window.

Hehe, he has secrets, and I have secrets, and I bet that Lord Nibes or some earl is secretly watching me, and if something really happens, it will definitely help somewhat...... Dream...... Emlyn thought for a few seconds, took out the metal vials, and used the spiritually rich materials to concoct a vial of azure potion.

Putting away the bottle and the potion, he took his silk top hat and walked out of the common room, saying goodbye to Bishop Utravsky and leaving the Harvest Chapel.

It was just morning, but the sky in Beckland was very dark, and the mist was like water.

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

"The sun is a little dazzling......"

He stopped a cab and headed straight for the steam station, where he bought a first-class ticket to the North End for six pence.

It's a lot of time saving than going straight to it!

More than forty minutes later, he arrived at his destination and stood outside the gate of 7 Pinster Street.

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

He was just about to write a note, stuff it into the crack of the door, and make an appointment for his next visit, when he finally heard the sound of lazy footsteps approaching.

It's not like a servant...... Emlin nodded imperceptibly, took out the potion he had prepared earlier, unscrewed the lid, and drank it cleanly.

Then, he saw the door open, and saw a man with black hair and green boy appear in front of him, and saw that the other party was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, the hem of the clothes was torn out, swaying lightly in the wind, and his temperament was chic and a little uninhibited.

Although he is a believer in the night, he has to say that he can barely compare with our blood clan in terms of appearance...... Emlyn took off her hat, raised her chin slightly, and said:

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

Leonard frowned not very obviously, looked at the handsome man with a pair of striking red eyes in front of him, raised his hand to cover his mouth, and yawned as if inadvertently:

"You are?"

"A visitor, I have something I want you to help with." Emlyn didn't reveal his identity, and smiled slightly haughtily.

Such an attitude and such a feeling made Leonard inexplicably feel familiar, as if he had seen his past self, and always thought that he was the most special one, the protagonist of the era.

He cleared his throat and said, "I'm just an ordinary citizen, and I don't accept commissions. ”

"Do you have anything to do with the private investigator."

Emlyn White smiled and said, "Only you can do this." ”

He glanced left and right, and continued:

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

Leonard's eyes froze, and he asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?" ”

At this time, Emlin didn't answer immediately, but looked around and smiled: "It's really powerful, I was dragged into a dream without even noticing." ”

He was not in a hurry to get out of here, and took out the small badge from the "world" in Leonard Mitchell's solemn face.

Leonard glanced at it, his expression softened slightly, tilted his head slightly, and paused for a few seconds.

Silently, Emlyn White saw the scene around him shatter and disappear as if all glass had been broken at the same time.

Leonard snorted and pointed to the inside of the room:

"Come in and talk about it."
