The Sun looked at Ember expectantly, clearly hoping for an accurate and positive answer from Ember. After all, for the Silver City, which is located in the land of God's forsaken and does not see the light of day all year round, a piece of sky that can see the sun is more precious than anything else!

If the space where Ember was located really existed in the Godforsaken Lands, then Darek would do anything to find it anyway! Even if he is only a Sequence 8 Prayer of Light now, even if he is just qualified to be the exploration team of Silver City, but this at least brings a glimmer of hope to the dark Silver City, doesn't it?

Even if you can't see it clearly, anyone can see the almost overflowing longing of the 'sun'. This reminded Audrey of a famous quote from Russell the Great: I could have endured the darkness if I had not seen the sun.

I am afraid that this sentence is the most appropriate way to describe Mr. 'Sun', right?

Ember stared at the figure of the 'sun', and said in a calm tone with a hint of sighing:

"Unfortunately, it is indeed in the forsaken land, but it is probably the ideal place that you will never reach, and which only exists in illusions."

Hearing Ember's words, the 'sun' didn't speak, just froze in place. Even if there is a gray fog, others seem to be able to see his eyes full of loneliness and loneliness from full of expectation to disappointment.

"What is Gensokyo?"

Except for Klein, who knew the inside story, the other members of the Tarot Society were stunned, and then fell into thought.

Mr. 'Fool' himself said that the place where Ember went was God's forsaken land, and Ember admitted it himself.

If they are all forsaken lands, why can the 'sun' never reach it? Is it because of the particularity of the Giant Court? It's not impossible, because after all, it is the residence of the former Giant King, and not just anyone can reach it, and you must have enough strength to do it.

But Silver City has demigods! Or even more than one! Isn't this kind of strength qualified to reach the Giant Court in Ember's eyes? Does that mean that if you want to go there, you have to be at least an angel from Sequence 2 or higher?

"Angel!"

The upside-down man changed color slightly, and this speculation startled him. He had thought that Ember might be a Sequence 3 Sage, but he didn't dare to think that he would be an angel!

Because in the Church of the Storm, only the Pope has the strength of Sequence 2. No! Maybe it's much more than that!

The upside-down hanged man felt a pang in his heart, and thought of another possibility-

All along, his attitude towards Mr. 'Fool' has been that of guards. Although he was skeptical at first, Mr. Fool's power had convinced him that he was a resurrected god. As a member of the Tarot Society, the 'Hanged Man' has always felt that Ember is different from himself and others.

The first is strength, including him, and everyone else is a low-order extraordinary when they join the Tarot Society. Even Miss Justice and Mr. Sun are not extraordinary, but they are able to join the Tarot Society because they both represent their own side of the force. Either the nobility of Rune or the Godforsaken Lands.

Only the 'lovers' are different!

As soon as he joined the Tarot Society, he was strong enough to kill a demigod with ease, but he was initially just called an 'apprentice'! Alger thought it was just a disguise, but now it seems that it may be a hint and a metaphor—

The 'lover' is indeed an apprentice, but not an apprentice in sequence 9, but an apprentice on the path to godhood, an apprentice of the 'fool'! Mr. 'Lover', it is very likely that he is already on the path to becoming a god!

The hanged man almost subconsciously denied this possibility, because it made him a little incredulous. Combined with the details that I have discovered that I didn't pay much attention to in the past, such as the fact that the 'Fool' and the 'Lover' are obviously closer to the rest of the Tarot Society, such as the 'Fool' occasionally turning to the 'Lover', and the fact that the 'Lover' can take out magical items at will in Mr. 'Fool's kingdom without restrictions, and the 'Lover' has been chasing the 'Black Emperor' who represents another god......

All of this shows that the 'lover' whose goal is to hunt down the Black Emperor has always been enough to be on an equal footing with Mr. 'Fool'! A resurrected god, and an angel who is about to become a god. The more the 'Hanged Man' thought about it, the more excited he became, because it meant that the Tarot would have at least two deities! This is something that no other force can do!

And how honored is it to be a part of it?

Alger's mood was extremely excited, but his deep city government allowed him to forcibly suppress all these emotions. He glanced at the others, and found that except for Miss 'Justice', who seemed to have come to her senses, they were all in an ignorant manner, which strengthened his idea of secrecy—

There are some things that you just need to know, and there is no need to say them.

'Sun' obviously didn't see this, he just buried his head in a low mood, and said in a low tone:

"I see, thanks for the information, Mr. Lover."

Ember looked at the dejected appearance of the 'sun', thought for a moment, and then spoke:

"If you're just looking for the sun, I have a piece of advice."

Darek looked up, his tarnished eyes glowing with hope again.

"To the west."

Ember said slowly, "Heading west to the sea, across the Sunia Sea, you can come to the world we live in. Well, if you can't tell the direction, you can head in the direction of the Giant's Court, which is directly west of Silver City. ”

Daerik was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't reacted yet, while the others were already speechless. Although Ember didn't say it to them, the information contained in it turned other people's perceptions upside down!

"Mr. 'Lover'."

The 'Hanged Man' couldn't help but ask, "You mean that the Godforsaken Land is at the end of the Sunia Sea?" ”

Ember bowed slightly.

"Sure enough!"

The others were still pondering the meaning of those words, and Crane already had a clear answer in his mind. He had seen in the diary of Russell the Great, who suspected that the Forsaken Land was in the legendary Eastern Continent, at the end of the Sunia Sea. And Ember's words can be regarded as direct proof of Russell the Great's speculation.

God's Forsaken Land is the legendary Eastern Continent! If this inference is followed, does the Western Continent really exist at the end of the Misty Sea? It is said to be the home of the elves, but what happened to make it impossible for the elves to return to their homeland and to trap the beasts on the island of Sunia?

And—

"The South Continent, the North Continent, the West Continent, the East Continent, all four continents face each other across the sea......"

Klein frowned slightly, he 'stitched' the prototypes of the four continents according to the existing map in his mind, and the map always gave him an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

Receiving an affirmative reply, 'Sun' Derrick regained hope and said with some excitement:

"Thank you for your help, Mr. 'Lover'. What kind of remuneration do you hope to receive for this piece of advice? ”

The Tarot congregation had an idea almost subconsciously at the same time:

"What a sincere child."

Ember pondered for two seconds, then spoke:

"I hope to learn more about the creation myth of Silver City."

'Sun' Darek seemed relieved to hear Ember's request, for it wasn't too much of a request for him. His tense body relaxed, organized his words, and then spoke:

"God the All-Knowing and Almighty created all things and went into a deep sleep."

"The eight ancient gods have divided the authority left by the Lord and have become the gods who dominate the sky, the earth and the sea, the reality, the spirit world and the astral realm, the gods of all races, the true gods, the ancient gods. Some of them fell in the struggle with one another, and some of them were stripped of their authority after the awakening of the all-knowing and all-powerful God, the Creator of all......"

“……”

"When the Creator, the all-knowing and all-powerful God, looked upon the world, He was surrounded by angels. Among them, the leaders of all the angels, the king of the angels closest to the throne of God, there are eight in total. Some of their names have disappeared into the long history, and some still have some records, either brief or detailed. Legend has it that among the eight kings of angels there are even children of gods......"

Derick recounted all the history he had learned from reading the classics during this time, and at the end he honestly added:

"That's all I know, Mr. 'Lover'. But when I get back, I'll have time to continue looking through the books, which I should have left out for a lot. ”

Ember bowed his head slightly, and after two seconds of silence, he commanded:

"As you look through the tomes, focus on the account of the Giant Queen Eumibella, and where the 'Creator' awoke."

"Queen of Giants?"

Darek was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "How do you know that Queen Giant's name is Omibela?" ”

Ember looked at Derick's innocent appearance and casually explained:

"That should be the god that you once believed in in Silver City, you go back and look for it carefully, there should be a corresponding record in the classics."

'Sun' Derick was stunned, and blurted out almost subconsciously:

"We don't have a record of this in Silver City."

The 'Hanging Man' looked thoughtful, and although the 'Sun' claimed that Silver City worshipped the Creator of Everything, it never concealed that they once believed in the Giant King Ormir, and that the Giant King Ormir had also had a profound influence on them. But there is no mention of the giant queen Eumi Bella in the mouth of Mr. 'Lover', maybe this also involves some secrets or taboos?

It's not surprising that Silver City has some hidden secrets, such as the fact that for the Storm Church, Passu Island is a taboo for them. Because it was the headquarters of their Storm Church, and it was also the kingdom of the god they believed in, the Lord of the Storm.

But the problem is that if the 'lover' is true. Silver City once believed in the Giant Queen Omibela, so why did they hide this, and instead claim that they once believed in the Giant King Ormir?

"I'm sorry, I lost my temper."

'Sun' Derick finally calmed down, took a deep breath and said, "I will consult the classics of Silver City, but Silver City may not have many records of this. ”

"No problem, just do your best."

Ember bowed slightly, he just asked casually with the mentality of giving it a try, and he didn't force it. After all, he already had the answer in his heart, and he just wanted to seek some documentary confirmation.

"One more thing."

'Sun' Darek paused, then continued, "I'd like to buy the 'Sun Priest'' potion recipe. ”

He has become a praying for light, and the potion is also being digested step by step, and it will be completely digested in about a month. Therefore, he hopes to be able to obtain the potion recipe in advance, so that he can collect the corresponding extraordinary materials in advance, and complete the promotion seamlessly after completing the potion digestion.

As he said this, Darik's gaze kept falling on Ember. After all, most of the members of the Tarot Society have always provided potion recipes by Ember, so in Darik's eyes, Ember is the most likely person to help him obtain potion recipes.

"It's a pity."

Klein sighed softly in his heart, but it was a pity that he didn't have the Sun Priest's potion formula, otherwise he would have wanted to do this business.

"I have!"

Without hesitation, the 'Hanged Man' spoke, "The price of the Sequence 7 potion recipe is around 800 pounds, and the premium can even be sold for more than a thousand pounds. Give me £850 and I can show you the Sun Priest's 'potion recipe'. ”

Derick looked surprised, and then said with some embarrassment:

"But I don't have ...... gold pounds."

Not only did he not have any gold pounds, but he even owed Miss 'Justice' some gold pounds. Fortunately, Miss 'Justice' had to find extraordinary materials for her family at the time, which allowed him to reluctantly pay off his debts.

"It's okay."

The hanged man obviously expected it, and said with a 'hmm' voice, "You can repay with equivalent materials, but I don't know what I can get from you, you first make a list of common monsters and corresponding materials in the area around Silver City, and I'll pick them from them." Well, I can show you the Sun Priest's potion recipe first. ”

He had previously found the Potion recipe for the Sun Priest in the secret vault of the Diocese of the Rorsted Islands, but it was only recently that he had found a good opportunity to access it for a valid reason and with enough clearance.

And with Mr. Fool as a guarantor, and the quality of the little 'sun', Alger is not afraid that Derick will take the potion formula and not give money, so it is better to be a favor.

"No problem, I'll do it as soon as possible, but that might have to wait until after the exploration is over."

Derick breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone also had a hint of joy, as if he had taken advantage of something.

The Tarot congregation next to him wanted to cover their faces when they heard this, the little 'sun' was too simple, didn't he realize that this list itself was extremely valuable? It's just that although they have realized this, no one has taken the initiative to puncture the calculation of the 'Hanged Man', because they actually want to know what are the common monsters in the area around Silver City and the corresponding extraordinary materials.

As for the little 'sun', well, eat a trench and grow wise, this is also for his good!

"Exploring?"

The 'Hanged Man' asked thoughtfully, "You've been assigned another exploration mission?" ”

Deric adjusted his sitting position and said with a nervous look:

"Yes."

"Where to explore?" 'The Hanged Man' Alger asked sideways, noticing his anomaly.

"Or the temple of the half-ruined fallen Creator."

Darek replied with a somewhat nervous and solemn expression, "However, Elder Lovia is still in the dungeon, and this expedition is led by the Chief himself. ”

The team that explored the temple last time was almost wiped out, and only the 'shepherd' Elder Lovia who led the team was 'lucky'. But no one can guarantee that she is really not abnormal, not even the six-member council, otherwise Elder Lovia would not have been locked up in the dungeon.

The hanged man thought for a moment and suggested:

"This should be the last thing you can do before you are completely unsurveilled. The message you sent before was that Amon and the fallen Creator were mortal enemies, and they would not hesitate to expose themselves or sabotage each other's plans. ”

"During this exploration of the Temple of the Fallen Creator, as long as you don't show any abnormality, the Council of Six can basically determine that you are no longer under the influence of Amon."

These happened after Ember 'disappeared', and the upside-down hangman was afraid that Ember would not understand, so he explained:

"The time the 'sun' was possessed by Amun before, and it was disguised as dying with the fallen Creator."

"Mr. 'Sun'."

Ember thoughtfully tapped his fingers on the tabletop and said slowly, "I have a commission for your exploration this time. ”

"What commission?"

'Sun' Derick immediately sat upright and said seriously, "As long as it is not within my ability, I will do my best to complete it." ”

Ember shook his head and explained:

"It's just a matter of convenience, and I want you to explore the temple as much as possible to find the connection, or similarity, between the fallen Creator and your belief in the 'Creator of All.'"

'Sun' Derick was stunned for a moment, hesitated and nodded slightly:

"Okay."

"What do you mean by 'lover' sir?"

The 'Hanged Man' looked shaken, his heart stirred, and a scalp-tinging forbidden speculation began to sprout in his heart—

Silver City believes in the 'Creator of All', that is, the Creator. The reason why the 'Eastern Continent', where Silver City is located, has become a God-forsaken land is because the 'Creator' has abandoned them. But combined with the creation myth of the Northern Continent, it can be seen that the creator has long fallen!

In the mysterious organizations and secret sects led by the Aurora Society, they believe that the creator is not completely dead, and the core of his remnants is the real creator.

There are even followers of the Aurora Society who try to cross the Sunia Sea to the so-called 'sanctuary'. This has also been confirmed by Mr. 'Lover' - the so-called sanctuary is the Eastern Continent, the God's Forsaken Land where the 'Sun' and the Silver City are located!

The traces of the seven gods that exist today are all over the northern and southern continents, but they have not left a single word in the records of Silver City. But only the true Creator not only has believers preaching in the northern and southern continents, but even in the land of God's forsaken gods, there are temples remaining!

And Mr. 'Fool' directly stated when he first heard the 'true Creator' that it was the 'Fallen Creator'! At first, Alger only heard the level-eyed, egalitarian attitude of Mr. 'Fool' from this title, thus confirming that Mr. 'Fool' was a true god-level being.

But he overlooked the most obvious of all—whether it was the 'true Creator' or the 'fallen Creator', the word Creator has always been a symbol of that ancient being! This means that even Mr. Fool is denying the identity of the other person's 'Creator', and all He denies is 'truth' and considers the other person to be a symbol of 'Fall'!

And now, the 'lovers' are asking the 'sun' Darek to find parallels between the 'fallen Creator' and the 'Creator'......

And when Alger combines all these scattered clues, he finds that they all reveal a terrifying truth......

"The fallen Creator is the 'Creator' who once was! At least part of the 'Creator'! ”

Audrey's heart suddenly popped up with such a bold guess, which startled herself, and she didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

But Alger is even bolder than her, and he has even deduced a self-consistent logic: if the 'fallen Creator' is the former Creator, then isn't the Eastern Continent, which was once blessed by the Creator, the sanctuary of the 'fallen Creator' today?

Alger the 'Hanged Man' almost subconsciously looked up at the 'Fool', but he couldn't read anything from the other man's vague eyes. But in a sense, the absence of representation is itself the biggest clue - which means that Mr. 'Fool' is likely to have acquiesced to the 'lover's speculation!

"What do you think I'm doing?"

Klein was stared at by the 'Hanged Man', and only felt a little helpless. He could probably guess what Alger was thinking, because he was thinking about the same thing in his head right now—there was probably some kind of connection between the 'Creator' and the 'Fallen Creator', and it was even possible that there was an inheritance relationship.

And this is precisely related to the previous intelligence:

The Church of the Storm and the Church of the Sun are hostile to each other, and the three major churches are hostile to the Aurora Society at the same time, and in turn the Aurora Society is also hostile to all three major churches. It would be easy to understand if the gods they each represented were included:

The gods of the three great churches betrayed the Creator, and the fallen Creator was a remnant of the Creator, which created their hostile relationship with each other!

Crane knew very well that Ember's speculation was not unfounded, that he must have some hard evidence in the Forsaken Lands of the past - and that he might well have met the 'Creator'!

As for the significance of his quest for the truth of all this now......

The corner of Klein's eyes twitched, and he thought that Ember was probably thinking about how to drag the other party over and burn it. Although he was complaining frantically in his heart, he still maintained an unfathomable appearance on the surface, so that the 'upside-down hangman' did not dare to ask directly.

First, he didn't feel that he could pay enough price, and second, the secrecy involved was definitely not something he could interfere with. Knowing more is not a good thing for him.

Alger took a deep breath and forcibly changed the subject:

"I'll give you the potion recipe first."

Crane also wanted Alger to change the subject, and immediately took out a pen and paper when he heard this, and asked Alger 'The Hanged Man' to write down the potion recipe silently and give it to 'Sun' Derrick.

So far, this tarot meeting has ended successfully.
