Someone was spreading the faith of the Blood God

Above the Gray Fog, the meeting continued.

After Audrey asked to purchase the Main Ingredient the "Dreamwalker" Potion, no one else asked to purchase the recipe or materials, Justice the process automatically entered the free communication phase.

The transaction process is getting shorter and shorter...

Luther thought to himself.

There are two reasons for this. On the one hand, everyone's Sequence has been raised to a higher level, and the time for advancement and assimilation has become longer. On the other hand, those at lower Sequence, such as [Magician] and [The Star], all have their own channels— Teacher or Old Man —so their demand for similar things is not high.

As he was thinking this, he suddenly saw the Hanged Man turn his head to look at the Sun.

How is your exploration of the "Giant King’s Court" progressing?

Alger asked.

"The Monster surrounding the Royal Court have been cleared; we are currently searching for Pathway to enter the city."

"[The Sun] Derrick replied."

It seems a bit slow...

Alger thought to himself. He remembered that during the last Tarot Club, [The Sun] had said they were clearing Monster outside the Royal City, so how come they only finished this week?

"It took so long... is it because the Monster on the outskirts are dangerous?"

Alger asked thoughtfully.

"No, the Monster outside the Royal City are indeed very dangerous, but the reason it took so long is mainly because... we don't have enough manpower."

Derrick gave a surprising answer.

"Insufficient manpower?"

Audrey, who was listening in, found it Justice. "Isn't exploring the Giant King’s Court the most important thing for City of Silver right now? How come there's a shortage of manpower for this?"

There's a reason for that.

Derrick said, "Many members of our exploration team have been sent back to drink Potion to advance their powers, so naturally we don't have enough people left."

Explore the team members' collective promotion?

Given these Characteristic, why schedule them in advance and concentrate them all within this particular timeframe?

Alger frowned, completely baffled. His mind was rather deep, and he didn't immediately ask. But [the Magician] Fors couldn't resist and asked curiously:

"Mr. [Sun], why is it so important to get promoted this week?"

"Uh, this..."

Derrick hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "It's because we've found a way to reuse the contaminated Characteristic..."

Ultimately, all of this is thanks to that [Blood God].

After Elder Lovia performed the miracle, the Characteristic accumulated over thousands of years in the City of Silver warehouse was restored to its purity and could be used again—undoubtedly great news for the City of Silver, located in the barren "Forsaken Land of the Gods" and lacking in resources.

Within the exploration team, many members were already stuck in their Sequence. They had long since finished digesting their Potion, but due to the lack of subsequent extraordinary materials, they were unable to advance and could only watch helplessly as their Beyonder Characteristic became corrupted.

And now, they have all been given the opportunity to be promoted!

In an instant, the atmosphere throughout City of Silver became lively, and everyone seemed to see hope.

The road to the outside world will soon be open, the previously blocked Sequence will have the potential for advancement, and even the food will become more delicious thanks to the peculiar Mushroom... A bright future is beckoning to everyone.

Chief Colin made a rational assessment of this.

Undoubtedly, if these Characteristic could be fully absorbed, City of Silver's overall strength would be greatly enhanced, making the exploration of the "Giant King’s Court" much smoother. However, faced with such temptation, he also had to Soothing everyone and prevent disputes and conflicts from erupting. So Colin first had all the warehouses organized, and then had extraordinary individuals who wanted to be promoted submit their applications. They were then ranked according to their qualifications, contributions, and potential, and the promotions were distributed one by one.

As for those Characteristic that no one has applied for yet, we'll have the Artisan make them into Sealed Artifact and utilize them in the same way.

In short, after all this commotion, many members of the exploration team had the opportunity to be promoted. They were reassigned from the front lines, returned to the city to take Potion, and when they returned, their Spirituality and aura had greatly improved.

In this way, the overall strength of the exploration team was greatly improved before exploring the Royal City.

[Sun] Derrick held back during his narration, refraining from revealing details about Elder Lovia and the [God of Blood and Shadows]. This was because it was closely related to [Temperance], and he could not disclose it casually.

"Yes, that's a good thing for your City of Silver."

Alger clearly sensed that [the Sun] was hiding something, but simply nodded.

He thought for a moment, then asked:

"Is your Shepherd elder, Lovia, also in the exploration team?"

"Yes, I am."

"Remember to be careful of her at all times, especially after entering the Royal City," Alger Hanged Man specifically warned. "She might contact the True Creator at any time, which could pose a danger to you."

No, she has now converted to the Blood God... [The Sun] Derrick thought to himself, but didn't dare say it aloud. Trying to maintain a normal demeanor, he nodded and said, "Okay."

I feel like this kid is just brushing me off...

"[The Hanged Man] "Alger thought to himself.

He withdrew his gaze, hesitated for a moment, and finally looked around at everyone before sharing some recently acquired intelligence:

"Recently, a new religious belief has emerged in the Sonia Sea Southern Continent. Some people are spreading the Honorific Name of a deity, called the 'God of Blood and Shadows'..."

"Wow, just from the name, it sounds like a really nasty evil god."

Upon hearing this, [The Magician] Fors couldn't help but chuckle and interject. The others, though silent, inwardly agreed.

"..."

Alger paused, then looked at the blood-red figure beside him. "According to some intelligence, the one spreading this [Blood God] faith is suspected to be a member of the 'Blood Pirates'..."

Fors' smile froze instantly.

Oh, the Blood Pirates... wait, the Blood Pirates?!

Isn't that Mr. Temperance's subordinate? Please remember the only website address: www. deqixs. org. The website owner has only this one website; other websites may be discontinued at any time.

Is it Mr. Temperance who spreads the belief in the Blood God?

No, no, no, this is too strange! Mr. Temperance is clearly a member of our Tarot Club, yet he had the crew spread the Honorific Name another deity under the watchful eye of Mr. Fool... That's incredibly disrespectful to Mr. Fool...

Hmm, that seems like a possibility, since the rest of us also have powerful backers. I'm just a novice follower of the God of Steam, and Mr. Fool didn't do anything to me...

No, that's still not right. The God of Steam, the Evernight Goddess, or the Lord of Storms are at least True God. That Blood God is clearly an extraordinary being. Is it really appropriate for Mr. [Temperance] to worship this? I've always thought he was crazy, but I never expected him to actually worship an evil god...

Wait a minute, it's only Mr. Temperance's crew who spread the [Blood God], right? He himself might not even be a believer... Perhaps there's some other reason behind this...

Fors's mind was filled with all sorts of contradictory thoughts, and he froze on the spot for a moment.
