Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 200 The Hanged Man Decides to Work Harder

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~"

With Justice Audrey's usual joyful voice, several figures appeared in the empty gray fog, and a new round of Tarot Club began.

Justice Audrey greeted all the members of the Tarot Club as usual, and her eyes couldn't help but fall on Little Sun Derrick.

Not only her, but other Tarot Club members also subconsciously looked in the direction of Little Sun Derrick to observe his condition.

At the last Tarot meeting, everyone knew that Silver City was about to usher in light, and Little Sun would most likely be part of the advance team that left the God-forsaken Land and came to the North and South Continents.

So now, it can be said that except for a few parties involved, the other Tarot Club members are very curious about the current situation of Silver City and whether Little Sun has really left the God-Forsaken Land.

Coincidentally, no member provided any new Russell diaries this time, so Klein the Fool simply announced that the free exchange session would begin.

"Mr. Sun, how is Silver City doing now?" Justice Audrey looked at Little Sun Derrick impatiently and asked.

With her taking the lead, the other Tarot Club members naturally didn't need to ask any more questions. For a moment, they all waited for the answer from Little Sun Derrick.

"Before I left, Silver City already had its own sun..." Speaking of this, Little Sun Derrick's face flushed with excitement. He then gestured while describing what had happened to the other members of the Tarot Club, and finally said:

"Later, His Majesty Lucifer led the Chief and us, the members of the advance team, out of the God-Forsaken Land and brought us to a city called Bayam. I had never seen a city like it before, and there were so many delicious foods..."

Little Sun Derrick almost subconsciously shared with the Tarot Club members what he had seen and heard in Bayam. After he finished speaking, he remembered something and touched the back of his head, saying a little embarrassedly:
"I'm sorry, Miss Justice, you were clearly asking about Silver City. I was so busy talking about what happened after we got out."

"It's okay. I'm happy to learn about your current life." Justice Audrey shook her head and couldn't help but smile. "I was a little worried at first, but now it seems I was overthinking it... Well, what are your plans for the future? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"The Chief said that our primary goal now is to adapt to life in the outside world, and then prepare for the subsequent arrival of people from Silver City. He plans to take us to investigate some of the Extraordinary circles in the outside world, and then see if we can sell some Extraordinary materials for money..." Little Sun Derrick had no intention of hiding anything and told everyone he knew without hesitation.

"Perhaps I can provide some assistance in this regard," said Alger, the Hanged Man who had been listening quietly. "I have some connections in Bayam and am quite familiar with the Five Seas. If you have any extraordinary materials you need to sell, I can help."

"Thank you, Mr. Hanged Man," Little Sun Derrick thanked him earnestly, then said, "But I can't make the decision on this matter. I'm afraid I need to tell the Chief first."

The Hanged Man, Alger, wasn't surprised by this. He simply said, "I happen to have something to do in Bayam soon. If you don't mind, perhaps we can talk in person."

If it were before, the Hanged Man Alger wouldn't have been so reckless in asking for a meeting; he was always cautious. But now, a glimpse of Mr. Fool's power in the real world had been fully revealed to Alger. It was a force far beyond Alger's imagination, and while he couldn't help but tremble, he also realized that this was an opportunity; he had to do something.

So after learning that the people from Silver City were now in Bayam, the Hanged Man Alger made a decision in his heart. The Five Seas happened to be where he usually moved around, and here he had various innate advantages, allowing him to naturally come into contact with the people from Silver City.

Afterwards, whether it was to use the uniqueness of Silver City to help Silver City while striving for reasonable benefits for himself, or to deepen his ties with Silver City and establish a deeper connection with Mr. Fool's forces, for the Hanged Man Alger, both were good options.

As for the risks—because the City of Silver now also believes in the Fool, and the Hanged Man Alger brought up this matter at the Tarot Club, so under the witness of Mr. Fool, the risks of this matter are actually very low.

"Mr. Hanged Man, you're coming to see me? That's great." Hearing the Hanged Man's words, Little Sun Derrick suddenly became happy. He really had a good impression of the Hanged Man and felt that he was a good person who had always helped him. So he nodded quickly and said:

"I will tell the Chief about this. He will surely be very happy to have you, Mr. Hanged Man, as our guest."

"It's a shame I can't go to Bayam." Justice Audrey revealed a slightly regretful expression. As a young noblewoman who hadn't yet officially come of age, she had a certain freedom of travel, but it was limited to within Backlund. She had to report to her family if she left Backlund. Forget going to Bayam; even to other cities in Loen, she needed her parents' consent.

But… Justice Audrey thought of something and looked at Little Sun Derrick. She said, "If you're short on money right now, I can lend you some. Um, I can probably give you about 5000 pounds, or I can directly exchange it for the necessary supplies. Is there anything you need?"

Although this will put me in a tight financial situation for a while, it will be fine after the coming-of-age ceremony, which will only take two months... Justice Audrey added in her heart.

She truly wanted to help the poor people of Silver City. You could say her kindness had its limits, but it wasn't false.

"Thank you, Miss Justice, but I don't think we'll need it for now. If we really need money, we'll lend it to you." Little Sun Derrick thanked you sincerely.

"Is Amon treating you well?" Luo Lin asked at this time. He hadn't paid much attention to Silver City in the past few days and was not sure whether Amon was doing a good job. He could only make sure that nothing happened to the people there.

Little Sun Derrick was stunned for a moment after hearing Luo Lin's words, and then realized that as a student of His Majesty Lucifer, the Emperor probably knew about Amon's existence, so he quickly said:

"Mr. Amon treated us very well. He arranged a new place for us to live, supported us in rebuilding a more suitable house, and taught us the language of the outside world..."

Little Sun Derrick spilled the beans. From his description, Luo Lin could be sure that Amon had done a really good job. He took care of everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation, and he didn't forget to teach the people of Silver City the necessary knowledge of the outside world, such as writing and history.
