Mystery: A Spark

"Who is the elder from Silver City who led the team to explore this abandoned temple?"

“He is the chief of our Silver City, but he has been out of the city for more than half a month to prepare for this exploration and has not yet returned. I don’t know what the situation is,” Derrick replied truthfully.

"Yes, the more thorough the preparation, the less likely there will be any accidents. It would be even better if you could be promoted to Sun Priest, as this would be extremely important for your Silver City's exploration of the dark environment." Arthur had a rough idea of ​​what Colin had gone to do.

A demigod-level demon hunter is about to be born, but Arthur wonders what kind of monster Colin will choose...

At the same time, he was also a little worried, because there was a certain risk of things going wrong when Colin went out of town to hunt monsters.

Furthermore, the process of sealing monsters to advance to the Demon Hunter isn't guaranteed to succeed. If Colin has a bad streak and fails, then Silver City could be in trouble...

“Yes, the chief once said that being promoted to Sun Priest would be of great help in this temple exploration. I will try my best to digest the potion and strive to be promoted as soon as possible,” Derrick nodded.

He felt that the Lightbringer's magic potion in his body was almost gone, and he would be able to advance in a while.

Since the chief had said before leaving that Derrick must be promoted under his supervision, Derrick could not promote himself before he had fully digested the potion.

Although Derrick had obtained the formula for the Sun Priest's potion, Colin had not yet handed him the extraordinary ingredients, for fear that he might cause some trouble.

Therefore, with the chief not returning, Derrick had no choice but to obediently digest the potion through role-playing.

The topic of Silver City has come to an end.

Seeing this, Klein controlled the world and spoke:

“I have a question for Mr. Sun, which may involve a transaction, and I request to speak with him privately.”

Then, he switched back to his original self, nodding indifferently and saying:

"can."

After the other members of the Tarot Club were blocked, "The World" looked at "The Sun" and said:

"Does Silver City have a way to remove the spiritual pollution from the evil god within its extraordinary characteristics?"

“An evil god? We’ve never encountered an evil god before,” Derrick replied honestly. “The only way we can separate the mental corruption of those who have gone out of control from the extraordinary properties.”

This is it! This might work, after all, I have Gray Mist… Klein suppressed his joy and let “the world” speak:

What kind of compensation do you need?

“This isn’t about the reward,” Derrick shook his head. “Only strong individuals at the level of patrol captains or even exploration team captains are qualified to access that method and the corresponding knowledge. However, I will try to ask the chief when he returns, but I can’t guarantee that I will be able to obtain it.”

Sigh… Klein sighed, and “the world” spoke hoarsely:

"We hope your chief can return as soon as possible."

Although we haven't been able to get an answer from Xiao Taiyang yet, there is already some hope.

Klein wasn't in a hurry to get the method, after all, the corrupted extraordinary property he had belonged to the Master of Mystic Puppet, and he was still a long way from Sequence Five.

He could ask Arthur, but if he asked above the gray fog, the other members might also be interested.

Since the "Sun" cannot answer and the matter involves an evil god, all eyes will be on the god-like Mr. Fool, and then it will be difficult to control the situation.

Klein made his decision in his mind: "I can try asking Arthur next time we meet. I also need to discuss the matter Sharon asked me to with him."

After the individual conversations between "The World" and "The Sun," the tarot gathering moved into a free chat session. "Justice" Audrey inquired with great interest about the unique scenery and strange tales of the sea, while "The Hanged Man" Alger selectively described his observations based on his own knowledge.

"The Magician" Fors listened quietly and gradually gained inspiration, wanting to write a book about the Pirate King, about how he captured a female passenger and had a love-hate relationship with her, a story where fantasy and reality coexisted.

Arthur listened from the side, comparing the information Alger spoke with his own memories to see if any major news not mentioned in the original story had appeared.

As he listened, he suddenly felt that something was rather strange.

That is, he has not heard any news about Lieutenant General Iceberg's promotion yet.

It has been quite some time since he left the Golden Dream. When he left, Edwina said she was going to Lenburg to become a prophet, but until now, Arthur has not heard any news that "Vice Admiral Iceberg" has become "Admiral Iceberg".

You should know that those titles of "King" and "General" on the high seas are not easily obtained.

Generally speaking, one must command a powerful pirate crew and reach the Rank 5 of Extraordinary Sequence to be called a "Vice Admiral".

People like this are usually not wild extraordinary individuals; they are generally connected to some secret force or the Church of the Righteous God, or they are simply representatives of these extraordinary forces on the high seas.

Of course, there is an exception, namely Zilingus, who earned the title of "Lieutenant General" with the strength of a Sequence Six.

However, Zilingus earned the title of "Lieutenant General" because he possessed "Crawling Hunger," making him so powerful that even a typical Sequence 5 fighter might not be able to defeat him.

To become an "Admiral," one generally needs to become a demigod, command a more powerful pirate crew, and have core combat power reaching Sequence Six, like the "Future".

As for the title of "King", it no longer refers to the representative of a certain extraordinary force, because they themselves represent a powerful extraordinary force, and some are even the leaders of a certain force.

For example, the mysterious Queen Bernadette is the leader of the Elements Dawn.

And then there's the King of the Black Seat, who remained hidden in the realm of psychology until his death, whose name was never known; he was the president of the Psychological Alchemy Society.

So, since Arthur hasn't heard any news about Edwina becoming "Admiral," there are two possibilities.

One possibility is that Edwina hasn't met the conditions for ascension, such as the ritual not being completed, or the ascension of a prophet requiring a special timing.

As for the second option...

Could it be that they're trying to play dumb to fool others? Then who are they trying to trick...? Arthur narrowed his eyes slightly.

Judging from the last time Edwina took Danitz to buy the Deathstroke Revolver, she has now returned from Rembrandt and can move around freely as usual.

From this perspective, it's unlikely that Edwina will be blocked from promotion.

So it's quite possible that she's hiding this news because she's planning something big.

As for what this major event was, Arthur couldn't guess, because it was the first impact he had made since coming into this world, and there were no original stories to refer to.

As Arthur's activities continue, such incidents will become more and more frequent, diminishing the impact of the original plot.

But what's wrong with that? Changing the world is a kind of happiness in itself... A slight smile appeared on Arthur's lips.

……

Back in reality, Klein took a nap and slept until evening.

After waking up, he got dressed and planned to go out to find Arthur and talk to him about helping Sharon and Maritch hunt the Rose School libertines together.

However, before he could even leave the house, he heard the bell on the front door ring.

Huh? Who could be coming at this hour? Klein wondered as he walked to the door.

It was strange that he didn't picture the people outside in his mind.

This strange thing had only ever happened to one person before, and that person was...

"Arthur, what brings you here?" Klein asked, somewhat surprised.

He had originally intended to go find the other party, but unexpectedly, the other party came to him instead.

"I came to chat with you, what, aren't you welcome?" Arthur said with a smile.

"Of course not, but I was originally planning to come to your place and even ask for a meal." Klein welcomed Arthur in and then closed the door.

The two sat down on the sofa, and Arthur joked:

"Good heavens, I never expected someone with such thick eyebrows and big eyes to be trying to freeload off me! Is there no justice in this world? Is there no law?"

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. Your cooking skills are really good. I do miss the food from my hometown," Klein said, not in a very serious tone.

“Tsk, you can’t do that. My cooking skills are the result of hard work, and I can’t just let people taste them.” Arthur shook his head and said.

“I’ll buy the ingredients,” Klein said, leaning back on the sofa.

“Hmm…” Arthur touched his chin, seemingly hesitant.

“I’ll wash the dishes after we finish eating,” Klein added.

“Deal. What I love most is seeing people enjoy the food I make.” Arthur’s attitude changed incredibly quickly.

"Oh, you..." Klein shook his head helplessly. "Speaking of which, you must have come to see me for something this time."

“Yes, there’s something I wanted to ask you.” Arthur reached into the emblem and took out a box of spiritual materials. “Same as always, yours, the shielding ritual.”

"Tsk, I don't understand how you can speak Rune with a colonel's accent." Klein took the materials and began setting up the ceremony.

"Hmph, that's what you call a talent for languages. You can't be envious of that." Arthur grinned crookedly.

Klein pressed his forehead, sighed softly, and said:

"Alright, alright, let's get down to business. I really can't envy your language talent."

Arthur dropped his wicked and arrogant smile and said seriously:

"I came to see you today because I received news a few days ago that something was stolen from the museum that was holding the Lao Huang memorial exhibition."

"What was stolen?" Klein asked, looking puzzled.

Arthur chuckled and said:

"It's just some odds and ends, of course, that's not important. What's important is that there's a bookmark among these things, a special bookmark."

Klein's heart skipped a beat, but he controlled his expression and said calmly:

"So, you suspect that I took that bookmark?"

"Why don't you ask what's so special about that bookmark?" Arthur asked with a smile.

Tsk, old fox... Klein secretly curled his lip, knowing he had fallen for their trap.

Arthur glanced at the Night Emblem painted on the low table and said:

"Of course, that's not really important. What's truly important is what I recently attended at a mysterious and extraordinary party..."

I saw that bookmark.

"Although it has changed, I still recognized it."

Arthur glanced at the silent Klein and continued:

"At that extraordinary gathering I attended, I was able to roughly guess the identities of the members."

"Except for one person."

Chapter 161 New Energy

In the living room.

Klein stared at the smiling Arthur across from him, feeling momentarily stunned.

He never expected that the Black Emperor card he had stolen would actually expose his identity as a member of the Tarot Club.
