Hearing The Tower's words, Alger, the Hanged Man, was stunned that he seemed to have found a way to enter and leave the Forsaken Land of the Gods. Yet Alger's first instinct was to think of how to stop The Sun from accepting his offer.
After all, if The Sun left the Forsaken Land of the Gods, Alger would lose his channel to the City of Silver. Everything he had invested in The Sun would go to waste...
But then Alger remembered The Sun's trust and gratitude, and felt a twinge of shame at his own contemptible thoughts.
"Mr. Tower, you can take people out of the Forsaken Land of the Gods?" Even the Gray Fog could not hide the delight on Derrick's face.
"I can." Abner glanced at him and nodded with a smile, then added, "But I can only take one or two people."
He knew exactly what Derrick was thinking. Leaving the Forsaken Land of the Gods, however, still depended on the True Creator's wishes.
Given the understanding between them, taking one or two people in and out would be fine. Moving the entire City of Silver would likely have to wait until the doors of the Giant King's Court were opened.
"I see..." Derrick was disappointed, but his gaze soon firmed. "If I advance, can I still return to the City of Silver?"
If he could not, he would rather try another method, however difficult or complicated.
The outside world might be wonderful, but it meant nothing if he could not bring everyone from the City of Silver with him. As the City of Silver's only link to Mr. Fool, he could not abandon them and enjoy life in the normal world alone.
*Of course... With The Sun's character, he could never stay in our world
