Mystery: Starting from the Shadow World

Chapter 95 Ceremony

Derrick was about to nod in agreement instinctively, but then he suddenly remembered the key point of what he had just said and blurted out, "Wait, the Northern Continent, where is that?"

Upon hearing this, the room fell silent.

It's strange that Mr. Sun doesn't know about the Northern Continent. There's no reason why people from the Southern Continent, the Northern Continent, and the sea shouldn't know about it. Where exactly is the Silver City? Audrey maintained her "spectator" status, concealing the slight curiosity in her eyes, and silently pondered in her heart.

Alger frowned, many thoughts swirling in his mind, but without any concrete evidence, they could only be allowed to dissipate.

"What a pity, I didn't think to bring this up at the last gathering." He thought with some regret as he watched "Temperance" and "The Sun" exchange pages.

Philip silently finished reading the pages in his hand, his pupils contracting slightly, his fingers trembling involuntarily. If he hadn't suddenly remembered that Miss "Justice" was an extraordinary being of the audience pathway, he would have been stunned and unable to remain calm.

The city of silver, the people of darkness, the curse of destiny, a sky without sun, a place forsaken by the gods. These words undoubtedly point to the legendary location—

A land forsaken by God!

This is absolutely fantastic!

Philip cried out inwardly, for he sensed a business opportunity, not only because the Forsaken Land might hold a hidden and valuable history.

Furthermore, judging from the information described on the paper, the extraordinary creatures around Silver City are incredibly diverse. Even with Mr. Fool's help in translating, he could only barely recognize half of the few that the other party had randomly listed.

This means that if Philip needs any extraordinary materials that are hard to find elsewhere, he can directly ask someone to help him collect them. The simplest and most direct way to do this is with potion recipes from the "Sun" pathway.

As for those historical materials that seem like myths, although he couldn't quite understand them for the time being, it was always good to write them down and he would eventually understand them.

Fortunately, I had the foresight to purchase the "Lightbringer" formula. I need to think carefully about how to trade it. Philip stroked the bronze table, glancing at Justice and the Hanged Man out of the corner of his eye. After a moment of contemplation, he asked "The Sun":

"Can you offer more, such as your knowledge of occultism, the more the better? I can pay 1. I can promise to get the 'Lightbringer' formula next week or the week after. You can trade with me at any time. As payment, I can offer discounts depending on the situation."

Philip instinctively thought of spending some money to solve the problem, but his calm and thoughtful mind quickly realized that this place likely had its own currency, not to mention that even if he wanted to pay, he would be powerless to do so.

The "Lightbringer" of Sequence Eight?!

Upon hearing this, Derrick, who had also been in a state of shock, suddenly calmed down, tried his best to quell his agitated heart, and kept reminding himself that the most important thing right now was to strengthen himself and save Silver City.

In comparison, the world outside the land of the forsaken gods, the northern and southern continents that worship the seven gods, was still too far away for him to see or touch.

"It should only take a month, or at most two months, for me to fully digest the 'Singer' potion." He let the paper in his hand disappear and nodded, "Yes, I will try my best to organize everything I know when I get back. You can make your request when I hand it to you next week."

After the deal was finalized, Audrey immediately sought to purchase one of the main ingredients for the "Mind Reader" potion: the complete pituitary gland of the Rainbow Lizard Dragon, which, when translated into Derrick's ears, was the Phantom Wyvern.

"I've only ever seen this kind of creature in textbooks; there's no way I can get my hands on it right now," Derrick said calmly.

Even if the black market in Silver City did sell them, he was powerless to do so, having already sold almost all his possessions to buy the "Mind Reader" recipe and the "Singer" potion ingredients. This would have to wait until he completed his training, joined the patrol team, and had a substantial income.

"I might be able to obtain the complete pituitary gland of the Rainbow Lizard Dragon," Alger said at this moment, "but the prerequisite is to find Zilingus. At that time, with the part I need to compensate you, it will be exactly equal to the complete pituitary gland of the Rainbow Lizard Dragon."

Qilingus thought of the pirate general who had almost put his friend's life in danger, and Audrey wasn't entirely confident either, but it was only one possible avenue, so she nodded and said:

"OK."

The four people at the Tarot meeting paired up and finalized their deals. After this part of the meeting, Klein, who was still reeling from the loss of the profits he had gained from the "Lightbringer" potion formula by Philip, suppressed his suffocation and heartache and asked "The Sun" Derrick:

Does the city of Silver still believe in gods?

To verify whether the Gray Fog Space could function as an exchange of material resources, he needed to acquire information about sacrifice and bestowal. However, Klein was currently only a formal member of the Night Watch team and could not access such in-depth occult knowledge as sacrificial rituals.

Therefore, the most reliable and least suspicious way out at present is the "Sun" who is in Silver City and has a simple mind. As long as it goes around in circles and involves gods, there is no need to worry about it affecting his prestige.

Upon hearing this question, Audrey and Alger immediately perked up. It was clear that the identity of the deity worshipped by the Silver City was often the key to deduce a great deal of information.

People who don't even know about the North and South continents.

It's so weird.

Derrick quickly replied in a reverent tone, "We still believe in the Creator of all things, the all-knowing and all-powerful God."

Direct faith in the "Creator" himself.

Klein, who was already almost certain that "The Sun" Derrick came from the land of the forsaken gods, was not surprised at all. He chuckled and asked in return, "Even if He abandoned you?"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Alger's brows furrowed involuntarily from the beginning, as if he were recalling something. It wasn't until Mr. Fool's words struck him like a boulder into a pool, stirring up waves of thought, that he suddenly got the answer.

A land forsaken by God!

Mr. Fool knows its location and can even recruit members from there. This is a secret place that the Church of Storms has been trying to find but has never been able to find!

This reaction naturally caught Audrey's attention, but it didn't stop the Fool and Derrick from talking. The latter, with a complicated expression and a somewhat strange tone, said:

"Yes, we all believe that we will eventually regain the Lord's favor, perhaps on the day the sun rises again."

Klein, seated at the head of the table, gently tapped the long bronze table before him, his tone softening as he finally got to the point:

Are you still offering sacrifices to that all-knowing and all-powerful God?

"Yes, but we've never received a response since the day we were abandoned." Derrick's tone betrayed an undeniable pain.

Klein curled the corners of his mouth and leaned back in his chair. "Describe in detail your sacrifice process."
