The Hunt for the Aurora Order
Thunder flashed intermittently in the sky, illuminating the Curse land and the hastily set up camp on the outskirts of Afternoon Town. Patrol team members carrying lanterns passed by the camp from time to time, and inside the tents, most of the exploration team members were already resting.
Lovia quietly watched Derrick, who was "sleeping".
Her head was only half-exposed in the shadows, her face expressionless, appearing eerie and terrifying in the dim light. If Derrick were to open his eyes at that moment, he would surely be terrified.
"Swish, swish."
Lovia's body slowly rose, as if being pulled little by little from a swamp. The room was extremely Rian, with only the rustling sound of her Purple Robe rubbing against each other.
She tilted her head, her eyes fixed on Derrick.
Derrick, however, remained peacefully with his eyes closed, completely Consciousness his predicament.
Lovia extended her fair hand and slowly reached out to Derrick.
"So, does that mean Elder Lovia would take advantage of the time when my Consciousness arrived here to harm me?"
[Sun] Derrick quickly understood [The Hanged Man]'s meaning, and his expression gradually became uneasy. Although only his Consciousness had reached Above the Gray Fog, he still felt his neck tighten and it was difficult to breathe, as if the threat of death had already descended upon him.
No, what's more dangerous is that she might use my discovery Above the Gray Fog to reveal the information here to the "Fallen Creator," which would then be detrimental to Mr. Fool!
Derrick was utterly terrified.
The crowd Above the Gray Fog was also affected by his emotions, and the atmosphere became somewhat tense for a moment.
"Mr. Fool!"
[Sun] Derrick immediately stood up and said to the tall figure at the head of the table:
Please take me
"Wrong."
[The Hanged Man] suddenly spoke again.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he shook his head. "Your chief will not allow such a thing to happen."
"Stop."
Just as Lovia's hand was about to touch Derrick, a calm voice suddenly rang out. Colin Iliad, the chief of City of Silver, appeared in the tent at some unknown time, his Twin Swords gleaming strangely under the lamplight.
"I just wanted to make sure he was really asleep,"
Lovia maintained her outstretched hand gesture, her voice soft, "Or have you entered some kind of peculiar state? Chief, aren't you curious?"
"Leave here."
However, Colin's voice was incredibly Indifference and decisive.
Lovia withdrew her hand and suddenly chuckled softly.
"I'd forgotten. With your caution, you must have investigated him thoroughly long ago. You should have discovered anything unusual about him by now," she said, her face Distortion slightly as if she were enduring some kind of torment. "But Chief, how much time do you think City of Silver has left? Don't you really want to..."
"I said, leave here."
Colin repeated himself once more, his voice carrying a hint of danger.
"."
Lovia fell silent and turned to look at him.
Her fair skin began to tear and split open, revealing muscles and blood vessels that were cut in two, as if some invisible blade was slicing through her body. Blood dripped from her ears, the drops falling to the ground and quickly merging into her shadow.
Lovia's body dissolved and vanished into the shadows, disappearing without a trace.
Colin Iliad did not sheathe his blade until she had completely disappeared.
He gave Derrick a deep look, opened the tent flap, and went outside.
Above the Gray Fog.
"However, even if your chief can restrain Lovia, you should still be more careful in the future," said Alger the Hanged Man. "After you go back, try not to act strangely, or she will have more reason to suspect something."
"For the future of City of Silver, you must be vigilant."
Alger has mastered the art of dealing with [the Sun].
The safety of [Sun] is of paramount importance, as it could mean losing a vital source of information and access to the extraordinary world. Alger is determined to protect him as much as possible.
"Mr. [The Hanged Man], thank you for the reminder."
Derrick said gratefully, feeling even more that the other person was a really good person.
"When you get back, help me find out more about that Shepherd's life."
Luther also said that he was starting to become interested in this elder of City of Silver.
"Is there anyone else who wants to share?"
"[Justice], "Audrey asked, looking around at the crowd.
"Um, well, there's something I need to tell you."
[The Magician] Fors hesitated for a moment, but finally raised his hand.
"[Temperance] Sir, there's something I need to tell you. A new Aurora Order Oracle has arrived in Backlund, calling himself Mr. X, whose real name is Louis Wayne. I want to hire you to kill him. How much would you like to pay?"
That Mr. X is an enemy of her Teacher's family, and the rebellion he participated in caused great harm to their family. In order to repay her Teacher, she is willing to pay a price. However, hiring a Demigod is still too extravagant, and she hopes that Mr. [Temperance] will try to offer a lower price for the sake of everyone being in the same organization.
Aurora Order.
Luther was momentarily dazed, then his eyes gradually turned cold.
Very well, I hadn't been gone from Backlund for long and these bastards were back again. They're like rats in the gutter, like mold in a damp house—they just can't be cleaned up.
"You don't need to pay."
After regaining his senses, Luther sneered, "Not only will you not have to spend any money, but I should also thank you for providing me with information on that bunch of trash. As for the spoils of war, I'll give you ten percent."
He hadn't forgotten the vow of revenge he'd made; he was going to wipe out all the bastards of the Aurora Order, along with the evil god at their peak.
"Oh, actually, it's not necessary, thank you."
Fors shook her head in a fluster. She had intended to refuse, but after meeting Luther's gaze, she didn't dare to argue and had no choice but to accept it obediently.
"However, I'm currently at sea and can't go to Backlund for the time being. You can help me gather intelligence first."
Luther said, glancing around at the crowd, "Gentlemen, if you encounter any members of the Aurora Order or any related clues at any time, please contact me. I'm willing to wipe them out and share the spoils with you."
This guy is really going to fight the Aurora Order to the death!
[The Hanged Man] Alger glanced at Luther secretly, then joined the others in indicating that he understood.
After that, no one else wanted to share any more information, so after the Fool announced that it was time to stop, everyone bowed and the gathering ended.
Back in reality, "Admiral of Stars" Cattleya awoke in her captain's Captain's Cabin. She stood there for a moment, considering, before finally unfolding a letter and writing a line:
