Mystery: Who has seen my brother?

Chapter 195 The meeting ends
"Two to three thousand years have passed since the history of the dragon clan and the giant royal family. What I know comes from textbooks and legends, and there's no guarantee of its authenticity," Derrick reminded sincerely.

"At least your history hasn't been interrupted," Audrey listened attentively. She felt relieved and asked, "What happened next?"

"What happened next?" Derrick spoke in a heavy tone, recounting that profound history. "The Lord who created everything awakened, and famous dragons like the 'Imagination Dragon' and the 'Nightmare Dragon' fell from the sky. They lost everything, including their lives. From then on, the dragon group declined, forced to retreat to dangerous corners. Later, the Giant King's Court was also destroyed by the Lord."

How come this is completely different from the history I know? Shouldn't it be the Eternal Sun, the Lord of Storms, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom who led humans to defeat giants and dragons... Audrey was confused and obviously shocked. If what the "Sun" said was true, then the widely circulated creation myth must be false!

In an instant, Audrey broke out in a cold sweat and immediately withdrew her thoughts, not daring to think any further.

Perhaps the history of the City of Silver also has some distortions... Audrey consoled herself in her heart, her eyes subconsciously looking towards the figure at the head of the long table.

The Fool's figure was shrouded in thick fog, but He still sat upright on the bronze chair, maintaining a leisurely posture, as if the surprising information had not caused any impact on Him.

Audrey was slightly stunned. She looked at the figure behind the gray fog, pursed her lips, and slowly withdrew her gaze.

She thought of the true Creator, the former righteous God and now the evil God. How much of the history in the church today is true and how much is false?

It was truly shocking... Audrey suppressed the strange feeling in her heart, and the calm expression of the "audience" began to shatter a little.

However, this is not something I can explore now... Thinking of this, Audrey returned to the state of "audience" and curled her lips in a good mood.

Derrick paused for two seconds and continued, "I've said everything I know."

"Thank you, I'm very satisfied," Audrey said. "What should I pay for this information?"

"The heart of a lava giant or the blood of a mirror hedgehog."

A Sequence 7 potion formula was exchanged for a Sequence 9 potion formula, and a Sequence 8 potion formula... Derrick estimated in his mind. He didn't know the value of the potion formula where Miss Justice was, but it shouldn't be too different from the City of Silver. Then there would be some value left over from the Sequence 7 potion formula he paid, and this information would probably be enough to exchange for a main ingredient from the Prayer for Light.

After several members of the Tarot Club exchanged ideas for a while, Klein announced the end of this week's meeting and sent The Hanged Man, Justice, and The Sun back.

……

"How's the potion digesting?" Eve opened her eyes and asked Klein across from her. Today, "The Sun" was asking for the formula at the Tarot Club, which made Eve want to ask about Klein's "learning progress."

"Generally," Klein said with a hint of distress, "Digestion has slowed down since the addition of the Red Gloves."

"Well... I understand. While the Church of Evernight has provided you with many advantages, it has also hindered your growth." Eve waved her hand, nonchalantly saying, "But it's impossible for you to leave. Official Beyonders don't have any such thing as resignation. While you could fake your death and leave, you certainly wouldn't want Melissa and Benson to hear about your death."

Hearing the names of Melissa and Benson, Klein was stunned for a few seconds. Thinking of the mailbox that never had any mail in it, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty and lonely.

"I wonder how Melissa and Benson are doing." Klein sighed slightly and lay back on the sofa, staring at the ceiling with a somewhat distracted look. He might have been distracted, his mind wandering to Tingen.

After a long moment, he turned around, lay on the sofa, faced Eve, and said quietly, "I really want to go see them."

Eve looked at Klein, who was lying listless on the sofa, raised an eyebrow, exerted force on her waist, sat up from the sofa, and said, "Come on, I'll take you to visit relatives."

As he spoke, he grabbed Klein's wrist and tried to pull him up.

"Wait, wait!" Klein was halfway out of the sofa because of Eve's body. He raised his head and immediately grabbed Eve's hand, pulling himself back. He said, "Let's not do that."

Eve lowered her head and met Klein's eyes with her sharp gaze. She slowly let go of her hand and waited for him to speak.

"It's better not to disturb their lives."

Klein pursed his lips and raised his head, his gaze meeting Eve's deep ocean-blue eyes. Those eyes, which had seen the scenery of three thousand years, were looking at him.

Klein felt as if he'd been stung. His gaze immediately retracted, darting around, up and down, left and right, as if this ordinary living room were a rare work of art that needed to be carefully examined. Eve stood beside Klein, saying nothing, simply staring at him in silence. For a moment, the air was filled with silence.

In the unspeakable silence, Klein was the first to give in. He lowered his head under Eve's gaze and explained to himself, "It would be so embarrassing if anyone saw us. And if they wanted to see me..."

Klein's lips moved twice, but he didn't say the rest of the words.

If I wanted to see you, I would have. What about him? If I wanted to see you, I wouldn't have written you a letter. What about him?
Didn't he also neither send a letter nor meet in person?
"Do you know what you look like right now?" Eve took two steps back and said to herself without waiting for Klein's response, "The mute heroine in an idol drama."

"That's different," Klein said, not in the mood to joke. "In our situation, it's lucky that Melissa and Benson didn't kill me."

"But not only did they not kill you, they didn't even report you to the church." Eve crossed her arms and looked up at Klein. Seeing that he turned his head away from her, she waved her hand and dropped the topic. "There's an extraordinary party at the Brave Bar tonight. Do you want to go?"

"go."

It had been a while since he arrived in Backlund, and Klein hadn't participated in any Extraordinary gatherings other than the Tarot Club. Having more channels was always a good thing, and he could also look for Extraordinary items that could enhance his combat power.

Klein paused, as if contemplating something. After a long pause, he spoke, "Next Monday, um... it's almost time. It's Admisol's monthly two gold pounds. I plan to return to Tingen to collect them."

Eve nodded and said nothing.
