Mystery: Big Alarm Clock Ghroth Path

Chapter 211: Clues to the Star Core

"Mr. Wheel of Fortune, I believe you should remember the news I passed on to you earlier through Mr. Fool regarding the Dawn Quartet's performance in the City of Silver."

In response to "Sun" Derrick's question, "Wheel of Fortune" Roger smiled and nodded.
"Of course, my subordinates have also confirmed with me that the performance was well received by your people.

"By the way, what is the current situation in the City of Silver regarding the Dawn Quartet?"

Derrick was slightly shocked again when he heard Roger's answer.

But considering that when he was spreading "Four Seasons Autumn" before, Mr. "Wheel of Fortune" had already mentioned that his subordinates had corresponding feelings, his inner reaction this time was not as strong as last time.

However, based on what Derrick had learned in the City of Silver, this seemed a bit like the relationship between believers and their corresponding gods mentioned in certain textbooks.

This inevitably caused Derrick to imagine a lot, but considering that the Northern Continent where Roger and others were located was likely to have some special extraordinary people with abilities that were very different from the extraordinary paths that existed in the "God-Forsaken Land", he temporarily suppressed his doubts and put them aside.

But after hearing the second half of "Wheel of Fortune" Roger's words, "Sun" Derrick became excited again:

“That performance was very successful and has now become almost the most popular music in Silver City.

“At least half of the people, even those who don’t understand music, can hum a few lines.

"But this isn't the most exciting part... because the 'Twilight' rule of the second movement has the magical effect of detonating and destroying contaminated creatures. During its spread, it helped the 'Six-Man Council' capture several deeply hidden, contaminated residents of Silver City.

"After discovering this, the leader of a certain combat team attempted to utilize the characteristics of the second movement to quickly eliminate a large number of Sequence 7 to Sequence 6 monsters entrenched near Silver City, thus resolving a minor crisis.

"Of course, he didn't do it by playing the instrument, but by humming his own lyrics. Shockingly, even that could trigger the same effect."

"So, after this, the 'Six-Man Council' completely accepted the Dawn Quartet' and even listed this song as one of the skills that foreign exploration teams must master.

"Currently in the City of Silver, many people even say that this magical music is the legacy of the Elf King Sonyathorem... Of course, I am the only one who knows the truth."

The voice of "Sun" Derrick was more cheerful than ever before, completely free of the depression and heaviness that the young man had displayed for a long time.

"You did very well."

Upon hearing the young man's narration, Roger, the Wheel of Fortune, praised him sincerely, feeling happy for himself and the City of Silver.

"Later, you can explore the rules in the third and fourth movements at the appropriate time and apply them in battle.

"Whether it's the 'Heart Thunder' rule or the 'Reversal' rule, when used correctly, they can both yield enormous benefits and even unexpected results.

"Not to mention, my subordinate's sequence level has been improved, so the music he composes should have a stronger effect than before."

Hearing the words of "Wheel of Fortune" Roger, the little "Sun" nodded heavily:
“Of course, that’s what I’m trying to do.

"Thanks for the tip, Mr. Wheel of Fortune."

Wow, now even the little "Sun" can speak much better than before... My teaching is worth it.

Alger, the "Hanged Man," pondered this in his mind and spoke curiously:
"Mr. Wheel of Fortune, may I ask, what is the current level of your subordinates?
"I wonder if this information is taboo and cannot be disclosed?"

In fact, Derrick's speculation that the spread of musical rules might lead to induction by the creators of music is related to faith is similar to the speculation of "The Hanged Man".

So he tentatively asked Roger from "Wheel of Fortune".

"He's Sequence 5."

Roger nodded without hiding anything.

"Sequence 5... That means it's neither a 'Sea Singer' nor a 'Spiritual Witch'."

As an official Beyonder of the Church of Storms, he had some knowledge of both the "Ocean Singer" of this path and the Sequence 5 "Spirit Shaman" of the "Sleepless" path mastered by the Church of the Evernight Goddess.

Previously, Alger suspected that Benelu Jones's ability might be a high-level manifestation of the singing and poetry abilities of the "Ocean Singer" or "Midnight Poet", but now that he was sure that he was still at the Sequence 5 level, he completely denied both of these speculations.

He was not worried that Mr. "Wheel of Fortune" would lie, because judging from his past performance, he would never say things that he could not say, and he would generally not lie about things that he could say.

"Thanks for your answer, Mr. Wheel of Fortune."

Alger, the Hanged Man, nodded slightly and fell silent again.

"By the way, I have another acquisition commission."

"Wheel of Fortune" Roger spoke again:
"I need meteorite core powder from four different, distant astral realms, no less than one gram of each.

"If any gentleman or lady has any clues about the relevant items, I am willing to pay an introduction fee of 300 pounds on top of the price of the item.

"This is not an easy transaction, because meteorite cores in distant star regions are extremely difficult to find, and their origins cannot be repeated."

The reason why he didn't mention five different kinds of star cores was because meteorite star cores from the inner solar system were relatively easy to find, and it wasn't ruled out that clues could be found at Bayam's market.

Therefore, at the "Tarot Club", he omitted this information and only mentioned "star core powder from four different distant star fields."

Star core powder from a distant star field?
When everyone heard the content of Roger's commission from "Wheel of Fortune", they were all stunned.

Even Alger, the "Hanged Man," and Derrick, the "Sun," who were both quite knowledgeable, had never heard of such a thing!
What is this for? A potion ingredient?
It comes from the starry sky... and it must be from a different star field. This is definitely not an ordinary thing.

Alger rubbed his brows, thought for a moment, and asked again:

"So, Mr. 'Wheel of Fortune'.

"If we see something that might be a meteorite core, how can we confirm it's what you need?"

The question he raised was indeed crucial, and it was also a question of concern to the rest of the Tarot Club.

“If I find a star core that I suspect is what I need, I will send my subordinates to verify it.

"Once he confirms the authenticity of the goods, he will pay for them and the referral fee on my behalf."

Of course, the subordinate Roger was talking about was himself.

For him, the star core is extremely important, so it is totally worth it to make the trip in person.

Considering that Roger currently holds two seals corresponding to "Traveler", this is not a difficult task.

"Um, Mr. 'Wheel of Fortune'."

At this time, "Sun" Derrick raised his hand and interrupted:

"Is a meteorite something like a shooting star?"

"You actually know about meteors?"

Roger was a little surprised and asked subconsciously.

"Yes, according to the records of the City of Silver, before the Creator left us, meteors often fell on the earth.

"When I heard what you said just now, I remembered it."

Roger nodded, confirming Derrick's statement.

The young man received Roger's affirmation and continued:

“I’ve seen what appear to be meteorites among the redeemable items in the Silver City warehouse before, but they require a very high contribution value.

"My contribution points aren't enough right now, but I can save them up. It might take about four or five Tarot Meetings."

This was Derrick's usual way of expressing time without a reference point, to help other members of the Tarot Club understand. "Four to five Tarot Clubs" was equivalent to just over a month.

"The meteorite from Silver City?"

Roger was slightly stunned when he heard this. He asked curiously:

"Why would Silver City have something like this available for exchange? How big is it? And roughly what era is it from? Can anyone tell me?"

Others may not know, but Roger is very clear that the God-Forsaken Land is a space isolated from the outside world, so since the catastrophe of the Third Age, it should be basically impossible for meteorites to fall.

In addition, the surviving human city-states in the "God-forsaken Land" are isolated by darkness, making it very difficult to go out to collect or even trade meteorites.

On the other hand, meteorites seemed to be of no use to the people of Silver City, so he couldn't understand why this thing could not only be exchanged but also required a lot of contribution points.

"Is such that."

"Sun" Derrick replied:

"In the past, meteorites were occasionally discovered around Silver City. According to the former chief, they were mostly relics from the glorious past.

"Some meteorites contain metals, and some weaponsmiths prefer to use them as auxiliary materials to forge weapons and armor. These products are very popular because some people believe that these relics from a glorious era will bring good luck to warriors.

“It is precisely because of this that the meteorites currently found in Silver City are almost extinct and extremely rare.

"As for that meteorite, although I haven't seen it, based on the contribution value it requires and the contribution values required by meteorites I've seen in the past, I can infer that there should be..."

Derrick was at a loss for words when it came to his analogy, but Mr. World finally spoke up and offered a hint:

"Compared to the extraordinary weapon I once gave you, how big is it?"

Previously, Klein had made a deal with Mr. Sun through The World, passing an axe to the latter.

Hearing Mr. World's suggestion, Derrick's eyes lit up.

He thought for a moment before answering:

"It should weigh about one-third of the axe handle."

Mr. World recalled for a moment before turning to Roger, the Wheel of Fortune:
"That's more than enough. Even considering that less than one percent is usable core, it must be several grams."

"Thank you, Mr. World."

Roger breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. According to Derrick, the meteorite likely came from thousands of years ago, when Earth's orbit in interstellar space was very different than it is today. This meant that the meteorite could very likely be considered to have come from a "different star region"!
Therefore, even without Roger's verification, it can be confirmed that it can be used in the promotion of the "Living Star Chart".

"So, what do you need, Mr. Sun?"

"Wheel of Fortune" Roger asked about Derrick's request again.

After all, according to Derrick, it would take him more than a month to accumulate enough contribution points, which shows that the meteorite is not cheap.

Since Silver City did not use Loen's currency, Roger naturally had to repay with something else.

Unexpectedly, "Sun" Derrick said seriously:
"Mr. Wheel of Fortune, your subordinates have given Silver City such an important gift. How can I ask you for compensation?"

Although Roger's decision to have Derrick spread his music in Silver City was originally a deal, in the end, Silver City became the biggest beneficiary.

Both Derrick himself and the people of Silver City benefited from Benelu Jones's music, and their morale and fighting methods became richer.

So for this young man who wanted to lead Silver City to see the sun and was full of responsibility, he still owed Mr. "Wheel of Fortune" a huge favor. How could he ask the other party for money?
Seeing Derrick's firm attitude, Roger had no choice but to nod and agree to the deal.

"Anyway, a star core is basically done... I didn't expect it to be so fast. It seems I'm pretty lucky."

He thought so in his heart.

At this time, Miss Magician saw that the three had finished their discussion and said:

"Mr. Wheel of Fortune, that lady invited me to meet with a survivor of the family you sheltered next week, but she didn't reveal the person's details.

"Is there anything else you want to tell me about this?"

Before leaving Backlund, Roger had instructed Alice to let Fors contact the survivors of the Abraham family when appropriate.

Judging from the current situation, the person responsible for meeting Fors is most likely Sam or Cecilia.

Roger was reassured by the fact that both Sam and Cecilia were very smart, so he thought about it and found that there was nothing he needed to remind them of.

"Just go with peace of mind. You don't need to bring any gifts."

"Wheel of Fortune," Roger said with a smile.

"That's good."

Magician Fors breathed a sigh of relief. She thanked him softly and then listened attentively to the discussion among the others.

"By the way, I want to ask you something."

Suddenly, "The Sun" Derrick spoke again:
"Does anyone know who the eight angel kings are?

"After the last 'Angel of Destiny' incident, the Chief mentioned the 'Angel of Destiny' Ouroboros that Mr. 'Wheel of Fortune' had mentioned. He also said that He was one of the eight angel kings surrounding the 'Lord of Creation, the Omniscient and Almighty God' when He looked upon the earth.

"The other one, according to him, is the 'Angel of Time' Amon... but he didn't say anything else, and I didn't dare ask."

Angel King? What is this?
Everyone was confused when they heard "The Sun" Derrick's question.

Whether it was Amon or Ouroboros, they both knew, and now they also knew the meaning of the word "angel".

But this was the first time they heard the title of "King of Angels".

For a moment, everyone subconsciously looked at "Wheel of Fortune" Roger and "The Fool" Klein, their hearts filled with curiosity.

Not to mention Mr. Fool for now, the name of the "Angel of Destiny" Ouroboros was first proposed by Mr. Wheel of Fortune, so there is a high probability that he knows the corresponding knowledge.

On the other hand, Klein the Fool, who was sitting at the head of the long bronze table, felt the pressure doubled.

"Angel King"? How could I possibly know such a thing?

But on the other hand, Klein was also very curious about what "Sun" Derrick said.

He glanced at Roger calmly, hoping the latter could give an answer.

As if sensing Mr. Fool's pressure, Wheel of Fortune Roger paused for a moment before answering:
"As to the question of who the 'remaining six angel kings' are, I do know the answer, but the price of this question is not something you can afford.

"This isn't just about price, it's about safety. Their names are too dangerous for you to bear."

After hearing what Roger said, the originally curious members of the Tarot Club were a little disappointed.

However, just as they were about to give up asking further questions, they heard "Wheel of Fortune" Roger speak again:

"But I can tell you what the definition of 'Angel King' is."

Everyone pricked up their ears again when they heard this.

"So, Mr. Wheel of Fortune, what's the price we have to pay?"

Miss Justice asked tentatively, knowing that secrets of this level would not come without a price.

“Help me find a star core to repay the value of this problem, but I will not pay the price of the goods or the introduction fee.

"Of course, the answer to this question is an advance payment. If you ultimately fail to find the star core, you can owe me a favor and pay it back when you have the chance.

"Regarding the transaction of star cores, it does not apply to Mr. Sun. If you choose to participate in the transaction, you will directly owe me a favor.

"So, who's willing to join this deal?"

After Roger finished speaking, he looked at everyone with a smile.

"I."

"I."

……

A moment later, the two ladies, "Justice" and "Magician", and the three gentlemen, "The Hanged Man", "The Sun" and "The Moon", joined in the transaction.

But Mr. World was slow to raise his hand, which aroused the curiosity of several people except Roger from Wheel of Fortune and Mr. Fool.

"Mr. World didn't raise his hand? Does this mean he knows about the Angel King?"

Miss Justice thought quickly in her mind, and after two seconds she tried to ask:
"Mr. World, you have no part in this transaction?"

"I do not need."

Mr. World chuckled hoarsely and answered without saying anything else.

In fact, Klein originally wanted to involve "The World" in this transaction, because as Roger's good friend, he really wanted to find a reason to help Roger find the star core.

However, Klein currently faces a problem: he wants to gradually position the people in the "world" as his own followers.

Because he has now become the "Faceless Man" and can change his identity, and in the future adventures at sea, there may be many opportunities to rely on the intelligence network and resources of the "Tarot Club".

There are many other benefits besides this. After all, as the head of the Tarot Club, he also wants to get as much help as possible from it.

As for why the Tarot Club had two followers of Mr. Fool, Klein had a clear idea.

After all, he had never personally admitted that Mr. Wheel of Fortune was his favored one. This was all just a guess by the Hanged Man and his gang...

After all, denying such a trivial matter doesn't fit Mr. Fool's character... Not to mention that as the number of members of the Tarot Club continues to increase in the future, these problems will not become a big deal.

As expected, Mr. World's reaction made everyone even more curious and they couldn't help but start imagining.

After confirming everyone's wishes, Mr. Fool raised his hand and created a communication mechanism that excluded the "world".

Roger, the Wheel of Fortune, looked around at everyone before speaking:

"The so-called 'King of Angels' may seem like an identity, but in essence it is a person."

Everyone's heart sank when they heard this first sentence.

"really……"

"The Hanged Man," Alger thought to himself. He had suspected this before, but he wasn't sure.

After all, he had long discovered that according to the teachings of the Church of the Lord of Storms, the status of angels seemed to be divided into high and low.

In the world of extraordinary people, strength is always the guarantee of status. The so-called high and low status of angels is probably determined by their own strength.

Of course, it is not ruled out that angels with lower strength may be more favored by the gods, but this would be a false proposition.

That is, since they are more favored by the gods, why don’t the gods give them gifts and elevate their status?

Roger "Wheel of Fortune" continued:

"Once one reaches the level of Sequence 2, they are called 'Earthly Angels' and gain relatively complete divinity.

"Sequence 1 Beyonders can be called 'Archangels', and their status and strength are higher than those of Sequence 2 angels.

"As for the Angel Kings... they are those great beings who have obtained one or more Sequence 1 potions and are very close to being gods."

Such explosive information made everyone feel dizzy. Meanwhile, Mr. Fool looked very interested, tapping his fingers lightly on the bronze table and glancing around at the reactions of everyone present.

Faced with the behavior of this great being, everyone was even more afraid to speak. It was not until a long while later that Audrey, the "Justice," asked again:

"But, Mr. Wheel of Fortune, according to what you said, the Angel King is also a level that can be achieved below the level of God.

"Then why is it that such a title is not found in the canon of the True God Church?"

In fact, not only the title of "King of Angels", but even the title of "Archangel" is very rare!
