Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 64 The Fool and the Little Boy

Silver City, Berg's house.

Derrick Berg prayed to the Fool once more as his parents waited outside. Although the Bergs were worried, this was all for the City of Silver to maintain contact with the outside world.

Derrick's mother, Annis, was heartbroken and tried to stop Derrick from continuing.

"No, Derrick, if you keep going like this you will be devoured by the evil god."

Derrick said nothing, just prayed.

After he prayed over and over again and expressed his willingness to sacrifice his life and blood, the evil mysterious being was finally willing to meet him.

A crimson light erupted from the pure crystal ball. Like flowing water, it instantly engulfed Derrick.

Hearing no movement from the other side, Annise covered her mouth and cried silently. Berg also clenched his fists, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.

When Derrick regained consciousness, he found himself standing in a towering palace supported by massive stone pillars. Before him sat an ancient, mottled bronze table, and across from it sat a blurry figure shrouded in thick gray fog.

Beyond that, the surroundings were void, hazy, and empty. Looking down, the bottom was filled with an endless gray-white mist and unreal crimson dots of light.

This is the second great being besides the Amber King who is willing to respond to the Silver City!
Derrick felt nervous, and a flame of hope ignited in his heart. He looked at the figure perched high in the seat in front of him with confusion and said, "You, you are a god?
After asking this question, he suddenly remembered what his teacher had said in the general education class in the City of Silver: "Don't look directly at God!"

He lowered his head in panic.

The figure leaned back, his hands clasped together, his posture relaxed and at ease. His disguise didn't resemble a perverted evil god who was greedy for little boys.

But is this really the case?
The Amber King had clearly told the Chief that this was a perverted old evil god who had been fond of little boys for thousands of years.

Derrick said in his heart, "The next sentence He said was: I am not a god..."

Klein replied in Giant: "I am not a god, I am just a fool interested in the long history."

It’s right! It’s really right!
Derrick was both excited and terrified. He was excited that Silver City had once again received a response, but he was terrified that his backdoor might be compromised.

I heard this god has the authority of "doors", I'm afraid...

Klein, who had already tapped his left teeth twice, discovered that the surface of the astral body deep within the boy's etheric body was mottled and uneven in color.

This shows that the other party is not yet an extraordinary person.

Derrick took a deep breath and remained silent for a long time before speaking with difficulty, "Whether it's a god or a fool, my prayer remains unchanged. I hope everyone in the City of Silver can escape the curse of fate. I hope the sun described in those books will appear in the sky."

Mr. Automatic Wishing Machine, who in the future could do this and that for just a copper penny, smiled and said, "So, what's the price?"

Derrick was stunned for a moment, and after a long moment he said, "I will sacrifice my soul and use my blood to please you."

"I have no interest in the blood and souls of mortals." Klein smiled and shook his head. Such a price is completely disproportionate, unless you're the heroine of the third-rate online novel "The Tyrannical Evil God Falls in Love with Me." Klein complained in his heart.

Without waiting for the other party to speak again, he said leisurely: "But I can give you a chance."

Derrick didn't dare to refute, but he still used his great willpower to control himself from trembling.

Klein was completely clueless about Derrick's thoughts. He continued, "I'm a fool who prefers equal exchange. You can use everything you have to get what you want from me and from others like you. Note that the value must be equal."

Klein recalled the promises his boss had made him before he traveled through time. "This will make you stronger. Perhaps one day, you can rely on yourself to free the Silver City from its curse and bring the sun back to the sky."

This is the promise from the signpost of destiny.

Based on the other party's description, he was somewhat certain that Silver City was located in the so-called God-Forsaken Land. Of course, he couldn't be 100% certain yet. After all, according to religious texts, the sunless sky existed in the First Age, the Age of Chaos. After all, no one knew whether there were other strange places unknown to the nations of the Northern Continent besides the God-Forsaken Land.

Of course, this could be on another planet, but since the person in front of me was speaking Giant, it was probably not too far away.

Derrick listened quietly, lowering his head in silence. After a while, he replied, "I want to become the 'Sun' and get the potion formula for its initial sequence from you."

German: Ding, you have a new "Kill it?" order, please process it in time.

Osaycus: No, come for me.

Based on these words, Klein deduced that the God-Forsaken Land was separated from the northern and southern continents at least at the end of the Second Age. He speculated that this was related to the cataclysm of the Third Age.

Ancient Feysac is directly derived from Giant, and in this area, Klein can barely be considered an expert. Therefore, he has made rapid progress in mastering Giant and is no longer in a state of timidity.

But at this time, he still really wanted the synesthesia beacon that Serris mentioned.

Klein maintained his impressive demeanor and replied calmly, "We can put this deal aside for the next two days. For the next two days, it's best if you don't go out and try not to stay in the same room with other people."

"Okay, I'll follow your instructions." Derrick lowered his head.

Next, the despicable and domineering Fool demanded protection money and membership fees from the poor Little Sun: about the history of the City of Silver.

The events of Silver City weighed heavily on Klein. He was now powerless and could only continue to make promises. The naive Derrick believed Klein's promises and happily ate them.

Finally, before sending Derrick back, Klein materialized a deck of tarot cards and asked Derrick to choose his own code name.

Derrick flipped through the pages and chose "Sun".

Gray fog rolled in, crimson receded, and Derrick's spirit returned to the real world.

He pushed open the door and walked out, seeing his parents outside. The three of them hugged each other and cried.
