Mystery: emerging from the wilderness of knowledge

Chapter 176 Discussion
  In the study, Renekton stood up from his seat and moved his body.

I looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon.

Renekton put away the bone staff on the desk and put it in the locker on the side. Then I prepared a cup of coffee for myself, sat on the lounge chair by the window, and waited for today's Tarot session to begin.

In the past few days, Renekton has been analyzing the extraordinary abilities of the bone staff and using them to develop new secret techniques.

Although the Black Knight's ability is at the demigod level, Renekton has already analyzed some shadow-type extraordinary abilities before, and he is also inhabited by Sasriel, a master of the Hanged Man path. The analysis progress is good, and the secret technique is The development has also taken shape.

On the contrary, there is no progress at all in the development of secret techniques related to emotions and desires due to the lack of research materials.

"It's hard to find the Desire Apostle! The devil's malicious perception is too troublesome."

Renekton lay on the recliner and sighed.

In order to prevent Backlund's Apostle of Desire from noticing him in advance due to his malicious perception, Renekton rarely thought about this aspect. He just waited for the other party to act according to the original plan, and then went to pick up the missing people.

While thinking about it, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

A burst of crimson light burst out of Renekton's vision on time, swallowing up all his sight like a tide.

When he came back to his senses, he had already appeared above the gray mist, in the magnificent and simple palace.

Renekton was still in a semi-lying position. As soon as he sat up straight, he heard Miss Justice greet Mr. Fool.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~"

He glanced at the card that Klein placed on his right. The card was upside down on the long bronze table, revealing the complex and gorgeous patterns on the back.

Everyone in the Tarot meeting noticed this card, and everyone's eyes and movements showed some surprise, confusion, and their own guesses.

However, Renekton noticed that Miss Justice's surprise only lasted for a moment when she noticed this kind of playing card. It was more out of curiosity, and she also had more thoughts to observe the reactions of others.

Justice Audrey also noticed that Renekton had a similar reaction to him.

What does Mr. Baita also know? He is very powerful, and he may have been involved in stealing the Blasphemous Card from the Kingdom Museum.

Renekton and Miss Justice, who noticed him, looked at each other and could probably guess what the other person was thinking. Renekton suddenly wanted to fuel the other person's curiosity.

Seeing that no one had submitted Russell's diary today, Renekton raised his hand slightly to signal, and with everyone's eyes looking either surprised or confused, he said to Mr. Fool sitting at the top:
  "Dear Mr. Fool, can I take a look at the card next to you? I am also looking for similar things, so I am a little curious about it."

Renekton deliberately did not mention the conditions for viewing the Card of Blasphemy. He wanted to see what Klein would let him use in exchange, or would he just show it to him?
  Klein, shrouded in gray fog at the top, pondered for a moment. He was not surprised that the other party would suggest looking at the Card of Blasphemy, but he didn't expect it to be so direct. He expressed this idea right away.

Al is also looking for the Blasphemy card? Yes, he was also present at the time, but he met Bernadette and the two had a stalemate.

In order not to delay too long for the other members to see the problem, Klein didn't think too much, and all the information he asked just flashed through his mind.

He spoke in a low and casual tone:
  "Okay! If you get it, you also have a share of the credit."

Klein placed his right hand on the edge of the long bronze table and raised his finger slightly. The Card of Blasphemy placed on his right hand immediately flew into Renekton's hand, carrying some gray-white mist.

Renekton caught the Blasphemy card and ignored the probing eyes of the others, carefully looking at the Black Emperor card in his hand.

His eyes were quickly covered with a layer of blue-white-purple fluorescence, and the information about the Blasphemy Card came to mind, but there wasn't much. Renekton found that he couldn't analyze the Blasphemy Card made by Russell.

Although it was expected, it was still a bit disappointing. Then he stretched out his hand, and the Blasphemy Card flew back to Klein's right hand.

"Thank you for your generosity!" He thanked Mr. Fool at the top, and then turned around.

The righteous Audrey, who is good at observing, noticed some of Renekton's disappointment that he didn't hide, and quickly made associations in her mind.

Doesn't this card of blasphemy correspond to the reader path where Mr. White Tower is located? No, Mr. Baita was in a state just now as if he was using an extraordinary ability. He wanted to see something from the Blasphemy Card but failed. Is that why he was disappointed?

The others did not hide their probing glances, but unfortunately Renekton did not want to respond to them. He lazily leaned on the high-backed chair, waiting for the Tarot Club to continue.

Audrey's eyes returned to the blasphemous card. After Renekton's request to Mr. Fool to watch it was agreed, Audrey's curiosity was aroused.

After looking around to make sure no one spoke, Audrey raised her hand and said:
  "Dear Mr. Fool, I have something to report to you alone."

Klein, shrouded in gray mist, nodded gently:
  "can."

Everyone who was isolated from the private communication fell silent.

The magician Forsi was very curious about what the card Mr. Fool placed on his right hand was. He wanted to ask Renekton, who had seen the card, but he couldn't ask. He sat in a position where he hesitated.

The scene was so silent that Renekton simply chatted with the little sun next to him:
  "Mr. Sun, is the extraordinary knowledge you obtained last time useful?"

"It's very easy to use. It largely makes up for my lack of frontal combat ability."

Mentioning the knowledge gained from the last secret contract ceremony, Little Sun responded very happily.

Renekton nodded thoughtfully, and Little Sun's answer made him find some business opportunities. I can completely sell this kind of magic knowledge that has lower requirements on my own path to Silver City in exchange for their materials. Spreading knowledge can also help me digest the magic potion of my secret master. Little Sun and the others are my best students.

Renekton became interested. Renekton sat up straight and said to the little sun beside him:

"Mr. Sun, if I have a lot of knowledge about this kind of magic, can I make a deal with you? Or make a deal with Silver City!"

Little Sun Derrick hesitated for a moment, then scratched his head in embarrassment and said:

"But."

Alger, the Hanged Man, took over Little Sun's unfinished words in a serious tone and said:
  "The fact that Mr. Sun can contact the outside world should be his own secret. If he rashly uses too much extraordinary knowledge to trade with others, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of other people in Silver City."

Renekton glanced at Alger. He felt that the other person was worried that he would monopolize the resources of Silver City.

Without responding to Alger's words, Renekton stared at the little sun and continued:
  "What is your ultimate goal? To make yourself stronger? To save Silver City? Or both?"

"Save Silver City!"

Little Sun answered firmly.

Renekton smiled slightly and followed Little Sun's words and said:
  "So are you going to keep hiding the information that you can communicate with the outside world? Or are you going to confess?"

Little Sun Derrick was stunned again. He had never thought about this problem, but he subconsciously hid his difference.

The Hanged Man's brows furrowed. Seeing that Little Sun was really considering confessing that he could communicate with the outside world, Alger's brows deepened.

"You first need to have enough self-protection capabilities before you consider confessing this matter to everyone."

"Do you think that if you go to the elder to talk about this now, does he think there is a higher chance that you have been bewitched by the evil god or does he think that he has a higher chance of believing you?"

Alger, the Hanged Man, seriously tried to dissuade Little Sun, asking him to think it over carefully, and finally confess things that he could communicate with the outside world when he had enough strength.

Magician Forsi looked on blankly. She could vaguely sense that Mr. Sun's identity or the place he was in was special.

Renekton shook his head slightly. Mr. Hanged Man should not look at this matter from his own perspective. Silver City, which had been struggling in the darkness for thousands of years, was more rational, braver, and understood the meaning of sacrifice better than he believed.

Sighing, Renekton turned his gaze to Alger the Hanged Man and said:

"Mr. Hanged Man, you have overlooked a very important issue."

"what is the problem?"

Alger, the Hanged Man, looked at Renekton aside with some confusion.

"Silver City is not the Southern and Northern Continents. They have been struggling in the darkness for thousands of years. Every day for them is the end!"

Renekton's tone became serious as he spoke.

Alger the Hanged Man fell silent, he indeed ignored this question.

Perhaps for Silver City, every bit of power is precious.

The Hanged Man thought for a while, then turned his attention to Derrick the Little Sun, and said in a low and serious voice:
  "You can consider Mr. Baita's proposal, but it is best to start trading this kind of extraordinary knowledge with yourself. Once you have mastered it yourself, you can then teach others or make deals with others."

"As for confessing that you can contact the outside world, my suggestion is not to do so for the time being. You are still only Sequence Eight, and you cannot yet shoulder the hopes of the entire Silver City."

Little Sun Derrick was silent for a while, then slowly spoke:
  "I understand, thank you, Mr. Hanged Man."

Little Sun's reaction made Renekton understand that he had been a little too hasty, so he stopped mentioning the use of extraordinary knowledge to make a deal with Silver City, and instead said:
  "You have to learn to trust your companions. Of course, first you have to go out and get to know more friends."

Little Yang was stunned again. The other party changed the topic too quickly, but he still nodded and said:

"Well, I understand, but Mr. Baita, how do you know that I don't go out much and don't have many friends?"

“A reader is a very good observer.”

"You can't save Silver City alone, you also need your own partners and friends."

"Besides, I think this is not just your wish, it should be the wish of everyone in Silver City."

Renekton explained, and also reminded Little Sun that he was not a lonely hero.

Little Sun nodded solemnly and said: "I understand, thank you very much for the reminder! Mr. Baita~"

The magician Forsi, who had been out of the situation, finally couldn't help his curiosity and asked aloud:

"Excuse me, where is Silver City?"
