The next day, Derrick took a small team and embarked on a journey to the newly emerged city.
It is a good thing for New Silver City to have a new "neighbor" on this island that is far away from the north and south continents and with not very convenient transportation. It will not only allow the idle Extraordinaries in the city to find some work, but also allow them to exchange their needs and find a market for the fish, grains and fruits produced by New Silver City.
You must know that the original residents of City of Silver and Moon City totaled thousands of people. Some of them stayed locally to maintain the operation of the city, fishing, farming or conducting small-scale breeding. Some went to "Dream City" Partis, where Under the arrangements of the Bian Consul, he found a job that was enough to support himself. He even listened to the advice of "Hanged Man" in Tarot Club, organized several mercenary teams, and went to the Southern Continent to accept employment from the local colonial government and quell the chaos after World War.
But even so, many New City of Silver residents still fail to find jobs that suit them.
There may be some opportunities in this new city, but first we must find out how it appeared on this island overnight... "Empress" Didn't Miss notice this anomaly?
As a new member of the council and the youngest elder who has the most communication with the outside world, Derrick decided to go to that city to test it out first.
Along with him, in addition to several teammates who had cooperated many times to explore Forsaken Land of the Gods, there was also another elder, "Black Knight" Luvia Tiffany.
Several people took a boat departing from New City of Silver port and went around to the other side of the island. They saw a lighthouse standing on the reef and a small port behind it.
"It is impossible for this kind of lighthouse to appear overnight. Either the description in the newspaper was quite exaggerated, or it was a supernatural power."
Lovia, who hid his long silver-gray hair under his hood, squinted his eyes for a moment and commented.
"I think it was an attention-grabbing report. People in other places started to comment on New City of Silver overnight, but it actually took us a whole month."
Derrick replied, directing the boat to go around the lighthouse and dock at the port. Several "advanced members" filed down and soon met the first person.
Fortunately, it was a human being and not something else... Derrick, who had seen too many strange events in Forsaken Land of the Gods, muttered to himself. He looked around and saw that Lovia seemed to be distracted. The other team members had a natural fear of people coming into contact with the outside world. He had no choice but to step forward and said to the middle-aged man who was two heads shorter than himself:
"We are from 'New City of Silver' on the other side of the island. Where does this port belong?"
The man was wearing a simple linen shirt, broad-legged trousers, and a wide-brimmed hat to block the sun. His skin was rough and dark, and he had obviously been working at the beach for a long time. He tried hard to look up at the hill-like semi-giants and Lovia, who was half a head taller than him. He paused for a moment on the latter's cold face and introduced:
"This is Yarnam Port, which belongs to Yarnam City. My name is Theodore, and I am the manager of this port."
Without waiting for Derrick to respond, Theodore continued:
"Are you from New City of Silver? Several ships from Partis went to the wrong place this morning, thinking that this was your port."
That's because originally this island only had two ports. No matter which direction you go around the coast, you can reach the other one... In this way, this "Yarnam City" did appear recently, otherwise it would have been discovered by the passing ships... Derrick thought about it, exchanged a few words with the less enthusiastic manager, asked the direction of Yarnam City, and left the port on foot, walking towards the city not far away.
It wasn't until the small port disappeared from sight, leaving only the lighthouse standing on the coastline, that Derrick turned his head and looked at Lovia:
"Is there something wrong with that person just now?"
"It looks no different from a normal person. If I can parasitize him with flesh and blood, I might be able to find a deeper problem."
The "Black Knight" replied.
That might lead to hostility from this city, and we have no idea whether there is Saint or Angel here... Dalek knew that the "Forsaken Land of the Gods" method of doing things could not be used in the outside world. He shook his head silently and led the team on the newly laid cement road, around a small hill, and arrived at a city similar in size to New City of Silver.
Rather than saying it is a city, it is better to say that this place called "Yarnam City" is just a small town. With the eyesight of Derrick, you can see it all at a glance. The buildings are mostly built with a mixture of stone and wood, no more than four floors. There is a tall bell tower and church steeple in the center of the city. Starting from City Hall Square, several cement roads lead to all parts of the city, even to factories and plantations in the suburbs.
A freight railway departs from Steam Train Station on the edge of the city and is divided into two by a switch not far from Derrick. One side leads to the port where they came from, and the other side goes deep into the island, leading to the direction of "Dream City" Partis.
This time there is no need for Lovia to comment. Derrick also believes that this city cannot appear on the island overnight, not even in a month.
Although New City of Silver was built in just one month, it is now in a "rough" state. Except for the key construction projects of Twin Towers, ports and plantations, most of the buildings have no decoration or furniture inside, and many residents' homes are as desolate as slums.
But Yarnam City was different. Wherever Derrick looked, there were Police Station, a small hospital, Canned Food Factory, and a gas company. People walked past in a hurry or stopped to talk. The creaking sound of carriages driving slowly on the cement road reached my ears, and the aroma of Dixie Pie grease hawked on the street hit my face.
If Derrick had not been to "Dream City" several times, and listened to the members of Tarot Club and the people who were sent to study at Bayam from New City of Silver to talk about the prosperity of the big city, I would almost think that this is the busiest city in the world.
Standing next to the sign with "Yanan" written on it at the edge of the city, New City of Silver Expedition Team didn't know where to go first or what to ask first. He instinctively felt a sense of fear towards the lively streets.
Finally, Lovia, who has traveled to Backlund, gave the solution:
"Let's go to City Hall Square first. There are usually churches, hotels, and everything outsiders need."
She spent three days wandering around Backlund North Borough's square to figure out these things. If Oracle Mr. K hadn't responded in time, she would have been almost arrested by Nighthawks of Saint Samuel Cathedral as a member of "Aurora Order".
Derrick nodded and did not choose the hired carriages that looked like they could not fit in them. Instead, they walked towards the city center according to the road signs with Loenese written on them.
During this period, with an average height of over 2.3 meters, they inevitably received sideways glances from the Yarnam City residents. Fortunately, these hospitable residents did not embarrass the few outsiders. They just observed from a distance and discussed in whispers.
"It's so tall. Is it the giant Feysac?"
On the passing luxury carriage, the coachman with thick and slightly curly black hair and a high nose, who looked like a mixture of Loen and Balam, sighed with emotion.
"The shortest lady is 1.9 meters tall, which is much taller than you."
In the carriage, a mature man with a bronze complexion and black hair with silver strands waved his stick and said to his newlywed wife who seemed to have just grown up but was taller than the average woman next to him. Then he took a breath of pain when the other party stretched out his hand to pinch her waist.
On the second floor of "Moriarty Detective Agency" next to the street, a black-haired man with gold-rimmed glasses and a beard was silently observing these foreigners and jotting down all their characteristics.
Behind him, a young Miss with black hair, a round face and freckles on his cheeks brushed the dressing mirror in his hand and said softly:
"Sherlock, they should not be locals."
"I can tell it from the mud spots on the shortest man's trousers, Irene."
Amid the gazes of curiosity, vigilance, or malicious intent, New City of Silver's group finally arrived at the wide City Hall Square.
They were immediately attracted by the church with its bell tower and buttresses, its main body in black, and its spire's tiles shining brightly in the sun.
Above the opposite arch on the front, a very familiar symbol Derrick is carved.
It was a silver-white symbol composed of incomplete "Pupil-less Eye" and part of "Contorted Lines".
That is Mr. "Fool"'s symbol.
Is this the church of "Church of the Fool"?
He did not hide his surprise and quickly told Lovia next to him, followed by several other people accompanying him, and finally said:
"New City of Silver's Church of the Fool is still under construction. I didn't expect to see a complete church in Yarnam City... Could it be that like us, they were rescued by the great Mr. 'Fool' and came to this island from somewhere?"
This can explain why Yarnam City appeared near New City of Silver and "Dream City" overnight.
They got help from God!
Derrick, who had made a preliminary judgment on the matter in his heart, was about to walk into the church to take a look when he suddenly noticed a woman walking out of the arch. She was beautiful, but had a vague feeling that was easy to ignore. Her long pale golden hair was tied behind her head, and she wore a simple black skirt that outlined her well-shaped figure.
Lovia and others just glanced at her and looked away, but Derrick felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with her.
Under Spirituality's intuition, he quickly confirmed this:
The other party is "Empress" Miss who sits diagonally across from him at Tarot Club every week, his body covered by Gray Fog, only the outline and color features are exposed!
Demoness under Mr. Fool, the most powerful Beyonder under Tarot Club, and Guardian Angel under "Dream City" all came to Yanan, then there shouldn't be any problems here... He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slightly in the eyes of "Empress". Seeing that the other party didn't seem to want to talk, he pretended not to know him and walked past him, walking into the church of "Fool".
