Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 174 The Mature Little Sun
That’s all we have to say about having children… no, about taking an extra potion.

Derrick, the Sun, who had been waiting for a while, said, "Mr. Hermit, your suspicions have been confirmed. We have indeed discovered a Saint-level seal in the swamp north of the city."

The other members all sat up straight unconsciously. When the "hermit" talked about his research and speculation at the last party, the others could not say that they did not believe it, but they also could not say that they believed it.

Probably a wait-and-see attitude.

After only one week, the research results of the "Hermit" were proven, which gave them a new concept in the research of the "Hermit".

Previously, when the "Hermit" Odysseus talked about his research, it was all about the results of mystical symbols. The other members did not know how to use the magic circle, so they basically just thought it was novel but of no practical use.

However, this time's research actually predicted the location of a demigod-level seal, which was different from the previous research that they felt was a bit vague.

Klein the Fool thought to himself: The last time The Hermit discussed his research, he claimed to have two pieces of evidence supporting his conclusion, but he only mentioned one. The degree of biological variation alone shouldn't be enough to support his conclusion, so his second piece of evidence must be crucial.

Klein's guess was correct. Odysseus' second research result was the discovery of a crystal that could store spiritual energy. This was indeed the main evidence supporting his judgment.

After hearing Derrick's words, Odysseus smiled and said, "It seems that you have obtained the seal. What kind of seal is it?"

"That's a relatively unfamiliar path for us, but I heard that the Chief found a corresponding path in ancient documents." Derrick explained in detail.
"That item has the power to mutate living things, and to eliminate mutations. It has the power to instantly cure injuries and illnesses, as long as they haven't gotten out of control. It has the power to control living things. It has the power to create puppets with various abilities."

Odysseus judged: "The seal of the 'cultivator' path."

He thought for a moment and continued, "According to some intelligence I've gathered, the 'Ancestor of the Blood Clan' and the Giants once possessed this path. Silver City once worshipped the 'Giant King'. Now you don't have these paths?"

The key point is that Silver City still believes in the "Harvest Goddess", the queen of the "Giant King".

Derrick was stunned. He hadn't expected the Hermit to know so much about Silver City's history. He paused and said, "Before this, we really didn't have the corresponding extraordinary path."

Odysseus nodded. "Since your chief has found the corresponding method from ancient texts, then you should have mastered this method before, but you no longer do so."

This made him feel somewhat strange. After all, as long as a force mastered a method, even if they could not always cultivate extraordinary people with this method, they would definitely have the relevant knowledge.

After a moment's reflection, Odysseus suddenly realized that the Giant King's queen, the Harvest Goddess, had been killed by the Ancient Sun God, the Night Goddess, and Lilith. The Ancient Sun God had stolen the Harvest Goddess's fate, but had he also stolen his followers and the paths they possessed?
He also thought that later on, the City of Silver did convert to the "Omniscient and Omnipotent Lord," that is, the "Ancient Sun God."

Theoretically, the conversion process should have been completed after the fall of the "Giant King".

But suddenly, another hypothesis emerged in Odysseus's mind: Perhaps the "Ancient Sun God" had given the stolen identity of the "Harvest Goddess" to Lilith, the "Ancestor of the Blood Clan," but had withheld the "Harvest Goddess's" followers. He believed that during his career's rise, the "Ancient Sun God" must have needed followers. However, this was not a glorious thing, so the "Ancient Sun God" simply stole the Silver City, then still the "Silver Kingdom" and the "Cultivator's Gateway," to make this thing seem invisible.

For the "Ancient Sun God" who has the uniqueness of the "wrong" path, stealing an extraordinary path within a certain range is not difficult to accomplish, and it can be done without anyone in the "Silver Kingdom" noticing.

Later, the "Harvest Goddess" died in the "Silver Kingdom". Some of them may have noticed this and learned through some historical documents that they had once believed in the "Harvest Goddess".

Odysseus sighed in his heart: Putting aside the authenticity of this guess, the path of "error" is really fucked up!
At this time, "Little Sun" said again: "After the exploration mission was completed, the chief not only rewarded me with generous merits, but also gave me a sealed object obtained during the operation.

"The Chief's tone was strange at the time. My understanding was that he realized that the demigod-level sealed artifact was not discovered by me, so the reward was given to the person who truly discovered the sealed artifact."

Klein thought to himself, "Little Sun has matured a lot. He can now notice the hidden meaning in the Chief's words."

Alger, the Hanged Man, who had been listening, asked, "When you reported the Sealed Artifact to the Chief, did he ever express any doubt?"

"Yes." Derrick nodded and said, "No one has ever noticed anything unusual in the swamp. My report was actually a bit strange, but the chief still believed me and immediately organized an exploration team.

“After the exploration team sets out, the Chief should be completely certain that there are problems with my report.

"Because only after walking for half a day can one truly perceive the demigod-level seal. It is impossible for me to perceive the seal at the edge of the swamp."

Alger smiled and said, "But your chief hasn't exposed your lies yet, right?"

"Yes," Derrick said.

The Hanged Man asked Little Sun as if to test him: "What do you think about this?"

"I've thought about this seriously these past few days," Derrick said. "The Chief still has doubts about me, but he probably also realizes I'm not a big threat, or that I won't do anything to harm the City of Silver.

"So, while the Chief doubted me, he also accepted my uniqueness. This was also a way to find a way out for Silver City."

"Justice" Audrey sighed in her heart: Under the influence of Mr. Hanged Man and Mr. Hermit, "Little Sun" has made great progress. When he first joined the Tarot Club, I could clearly feel his simplicity and innocence.

Then she thought to herself, "Audrey, come on! You were once naive, but then you gradually matured. Now Little Sun is going to surpass you."

Magician Fors had similar speculations, but she came up with the idea that saving Silver City was Little Sun's goal or dream. As some writer friends have said, dreams can either make people unrealistic or mature quickly.

Alger nodded. "That answer barely passes."

He paused and continued, "What I want to tell you is that you are safe. Not only will the Chief no longer doubt you, he will also protect you. If necessary, he will even help you conceal your specialness."

Derrick was slightly stunned: "Why...why is this?"

Klein thought from behind the gray fog: Checks and balances.

"Checks and balances!" Alger said, "In the eyes of your chief, Elder Shepherd is in considerable danger, and you are also in some danger.

"When you surrendered the 'Time Worm' and exposed the members contaminated by the 'True Creator', it proved that there was a certain conflict and contradiction between the two of you.

"Then the best approach is to let you check and balance each other, and Silver City will find opportunities from this."

Alger paused and then smiled, "Just as I suspected before, when the time is right, Elder Shepherd will be released."

Derrick's mouth dropped open in surprise, then he cast a look of admiration at the Hanged Man, thinking, "What a brilliant analysis!" Audrey also thought, "Mr. Hanged Man's analysis is very logical, and his grasp of the Chief's psychology is spot on. This guess is very consistent with the actual situation and should be relatively accurate."

Finally, Derrick concluded, "So, the seal the Chief gave me was for me to pass on to Mr. Hermit, the true discoverer of the Saint-level seal."

Alger nodded. "Indeed, this represents Silver City's gratitude to Mr. Hermit. It also signifies a deal. Silver City doesn't want to owe Hermit a favor."

Derrick nodded and said to Odysseus, "Mr. Hermit, thank you for helping us find a Saint-level seal. I'll ask Mr. Fool to give you the seal the leader gave me after the party."

Odysseus accepted the other party's thanks calmly: "Okay."

Since that Level 1 seal was from the "Tillman" path, then the other seals used in that operation should also be from this path, or the "Pharmacist" path.

Either way, it's practical.

After discussing the demigod-level seal, Derrick said to the person at the bottom of the bronze table, "Mr. World, I have already hired someone to hunt the 'Human Skin Shadow' and have learned its characteristics.

"After the party, a sacrifice will also be made to Mr. Fool."

This was the reward he received for borrowing the "All-Black Eye" before. Originally, it would take him some time to accumulate enough merits to hire someone to complete the hunt.

However, this exploration mission earned Derrick great merit, so he asked someone to complete the hunt in advance.

"This is good news." Klein manipulated the "world" and said in a hoarse voice.

He did not continue to seek to purchase the "Thousand Faces Hunter's Mutated Pituitary Gland" because he had already received the corresponding clue from Miss Sharon. It was said that someone had found the "Thousand Faces Hunter" in a noble tomb in the Quaternary period.

Klein had already informed the Mechanical Heart of this news and proposed a condition: to select an item from the spoils of their operation.

Besides, the vampires seemed to also have this extraordinary material, so there was no need to continue purchasing it at the Tarot Club.

However, Klein had something else to sell. He manipulated the "world" and said, "I want to sell a Beyonder characteristic."

The hall was silent for a second or two before Alger asked, "What is the method?"

Aside from Alger, who possessed abundant maritime resources, no one else had much interest in Beyonder traits, unless they were traits of the same path as their own.

But then the "world" would be asking one person, not everyone.

"'Prisoner' pathway, Sequence 7's 'Werewolf' Beyonder characteristic." Klein answered using the "World."

Alger said, "I can help you find out..."

"Well, maybe you could give me that Beyonder characteristic first. I'm going to visit a friend in a few days who is willing to purchase Beyonder characteristics from various channels. If he likes that characteristic, I will sell it to you immediately.

"But I'll take a commission of 100 pounds.

"If it doesn't sell, I'll keep looking for a buyer for you."

The World nodded: "Okay."

With Mr. Fool as a safeguard, he wasn't afraid that The Hanged Man would default on his debt, or disappear with this trait and never appear again.

Then, Justice Audrey habitually raised her hand slightly and said, "I need three ingredients: a pair of Mirror Dragon eyes, 50 milliliters of its blood, and the fruit of the Elder Tree."

Klein immediately made a judgment: Miss Justice had obtained the "psychiatrist's" potion formula.

Alger made a similar judgment.

Magician Fors said, "I'll keep an eye on it for you."

What she meant by paying attention was writing a letter to her teacher to ask, although the Abraham family was not so prominent, it still had a rich accumulation.

Derrick nodded and said, "I'll keep an eye on it too. Corrupted mirror dragons are not uncommon, and so are elder trees."

However, he currently does not have the confidence to hunt these monsters by himself, nor does he have enough merit to ask others to help him hunt.

After the other members agreed to help keep an eye out, Audrey said to Alger, "Mr. Hanged Man, I have a clue to the recipe for the 'Wind-Blessed' potion. Do you still need the recipe?"

She got the clue from the "Psychological Alchemy Society", but she had just joined the society and had not yet found the right time to make a deal.

Alger immediately leaned forward: "Yes!"

"Okay, I'll help you initiate the transaction at the right time." Audrey said.

Alger took a deep breath and said, "Okay."

He had been saving money for a long time so that he could buy the potion formula of "Wind-loving One" as soon as he found it.

After everyone else had reached a deal, Derrick asked Odysseus, "Mr. Hermit, have you learned anything about the fall of the 'Ancient Sun God'?"

At last week's gathering, Derrick learned that the "Ancient Sun God" was the "Almighty and Omniscient Lord" they believed in, but no one knew how the "Ancient Sun God" fell.

While Derrick was in shock and despair over this incident, Audrey, driven by curiosity, asked Mr. Hermit to help her find out information about the Third Age.

"The difficulty of obtaining this information is beyond my imagination." Odysseus did not intend to 'inquire' about this information right away. Instead, he said, "I do know some information about the eight 'Angel Kings'. I wonder if you are interested?"
