" The Saint of Secrets " Botis... Fors has recently experienced quite a few things, and may even have been watched by the Angel King, so he has a strong ability to withstand it. At this moment, he did not show any abnormality. He also naturally withdrew his gaze and walked towards the man in the black trench coat opposite him without slowing down.

A few steps later, the two passed each other.

"... Was he just passing by because of the attraction between Beyonder Characteristic? If he knew his teacher was here, he certainly wouldn't have been so slow, but would have ' Teleportation ' to catch up directly... Thankfully, his teacher has already boarded the carriage and left the inn..." Fors' heart settled back into its original place, and his tense thoughts eased slightly.

After walking a few more steps, she looked up at the sky, as if to make sure it wouldn't rain.

Just then, a crow flew over from not far away and landed on a roadside tree, facing the spot where Fors had just passed.

Fors stopped thinking about " The Saint of Secrets " Botis and left the street at the same speed.

Since the Aurora Order had not held a gathering in Backlund for a long time, and their target was a Demigod, Fors had no immediate intention of avenging his teacher. Putting aside the question of whether he had combat ability, simply finding and targeting a " Secrets Sorcerer " was a difficult task.

"... I'll wait until I become a ' Traveler,' and maybe I'll run into Botis by chance, then I'll commission 'The World' for a corresponding task. Aurora Order has Saint in Backlund recently... Um, it's possible that Botis, while ' Travel ' somewhere today, got lost in Backlund due to the attraction between Beyonder Characteristic..." Fors naturally considered whether or not to ask "The World" Gehrman Sparrow for help.

As far as she knew, this man had personally killed at least two Demigod, and he had only been Demigod for three months!

Among the high-ranking members of the seven major righteous churches, there are only about ten true Demigod... According to Mr. "World's" pace, it would take at most two years to clear out the strongmen of a church... Of course, reality is not such an ideal model... Having received higher education and worked as a Doctor, Fors' thoughts gradually spread out. He walked to the side of the street and got into a taxi.

Above the Gray Fog, a small gathering took place, consisting only of " The Sun " Derrick, " The Hanged Man " Alger, and "The World" Gehrman Sparrow.

But unlike previous similar situations, this time there was Mr. The Fool as a witness, because Derrick the Sun's main purpose was to figure out which Sealed Artifact would please this great being more, in order to exchange it for the cross left by the Creator.

At the same time, he had some questions he wanted to ask Mr. " The Hanged Man " and Mr. "The World," so he requested this private conversation.

" The Sword of Dawn Silver," " The Twilight Mask," " The Staff of Life," " The Fallen Flute "... These are all items with equally outstanding abilities and negative effects, requiring sealing. This also shows that City of Silver truly lacks Beyonder through the " Artisan " pathway; all gains rely on natural formation. Even with god-level Sealed Artifact that can shatter their properties, they cannot be better Reorganization... While listening to Little " The Sun's" description, " The Fool " Klein quickly analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of different Sealed Artifact in his mind.

He first ruled out the " Twilight Mask " because the negative effects of this Sealed Artifact, originating from the former chief of City of Silver, were simply too great.

Although Klein could have his Marionette wear the mask and sever its auditory connection to avoid the incessant Scream and howls, and not worry that the Marionette, which was essentially his own possession, would become a slave to the " Twilight Mask," in doing so, his own body would become one of the many who died inexplicably, suddenly, and in succession around him.

Next, Klein abandoned the " Fallen Flute " for the same reason. This Sealed Artifact's ability to Danger Premonition was indeed superior to the " Apostle of Desire " within " Creeping Hunger," making it highly desirable. However, its negative effects were not so easily avoided:

If Klein's true form uses this flute, he will gradually become cold and lose normal emotions, which completely contradicts his philosophy of using humanity to fight against divinity and maintain balance. However, if he hands it over to the Marionette, his true form will suffer from the terrible effect of a significant decrease in the thinking ability of the surrounding beings, making them prone to making mistakes. This would lead to the passive loss of the core advantage of the " Seer " path.

"Besides, this flute will Depravity the hearts of people in the area, letting desires run rampant. I don't want the people of Böklund Street to become a group that abandons morality and indulges in revelry. Who knows how many illegitimate children will be born then... I can only consider the ' Sword of Dawn Silver ' and the ' Staff of Life '..." Klein muttered silently for a moment, then quickly started working on the choice between the two:

The human head statue on the " Sword of Dawn Silver " has a living characteristic, which means that Klein can communicate with it. As long as he can communicate, many negative effects can be reduced. As for the height limitation, he can simply ignore the thickness and only focus on the height. In any case, for the " Clown " with his excellent balance, it will not affect his performance.

The " Staff of Life " can cause physical abnormalities in its holder, but this can be avoided by handing it over to Marionette. If any organs are missing or added, they can be repaired with the " Flower of Blood " ring. The surrounding area is full of vitality, and the flourishing of plants and animals is not actually that negative.

Since the negative effects of the two Sealed Artifact are not too problematic, the focus should be on their functions. The " Sword of Dawn Silver " is clearly from the " Warrior " path of the " Demon Hunter," and is quite powerful in both attack and defense. It can also conceal malice and is good at dealing with Devil. The " Staff of Life," on the other hand, is good at creating and inducing mutations and belongs to a rather sinister type.

After a few seconds of consideration, when " The Sun " Derrick asked for an answer, " The Fool " Klein spoke at a measured pace, as if discussing a mundane matter:

"A walking stick will do."

He ultimately decided he wanted the " Staff of Life "!

In truth, the " Sword of Dawn Silver " and the " Staff of Life " each have their strengths, making the choice difficult. Klein's final decision was based on a less common reason:

The " Staff of Life," with its sinister abilities, truly deserves the adjective " Mysteries." It can effectively assist him in Acting a " Bizarro Sorcerer " and increase the speed at which he digests Potion!

"Yes, Mr. ' The Fool '! The Sun!" Derrick replied, unable to hide his delight.

This means that once the Sacrifice and Bestowal Ritual is completed, he will receive the cross from the Creator.

Having confirmed this, he turned his gaze to the figure at the very bottom of the bronze table:

"Mr. 'World,' besides the complete brain of an adult Mind Dragon, do you also need High-Sequence Potion recipe from the ' Planter ' pathway?"

Since the "World" shared information about the secret passage to the " Giant King's Court " with him, Derrick could only question this person, not Mr. " The Fool ".

Of course, in Derrick's view, the "world" is the Blessed of Mr. The Fool, and his answer, to some extent, also represents the meaning of Mr. The Fool.

The High-Sequence Potion recipes of the " Planter " pathway... Klein, the " The Fool," sitting at the head of the bronze table, suddenly felt a headache coming on and was caught in a fierce internal struggle.

He could roughly understand the chief of City of Silver's thinking. This veteran " Demon Hunter " hoped to find a bright future through exploring the " Giant King's Court," but on the other hand, he cautiously didn't have too strong expectations and was prepared to continue to persevere in the darkness. Therefore, he proposed the " Planter " Potion recipe mainly to see if Mr. " The Fool " had the corresponding authority, or whether certain forces favored by Him needed it. If this could bring feedback, it would effectively improve the living environment of City of Silver.

Meanwhile, Frank Lee recently wrote to Klein saying that the research was just one step away from success, and that once he became a " Druid," he should be able to succeed. This made Klein very hesitant about whether to give him a push.

... We have no idea what the future holds... Let's focus on the present. A Sequence 5 Beyonder, lacking even divinity, can't cause anything too serious. Besides, the " The Hermit " lady is already Demigod and can see that Frank isn't a major problem... Klein for a moment, then had "The World," Gehrman Sparrow, speak:

" Sequence 5."

"What if there's something even higher, the Sun?" Derrick pressed.

... Klein felt like he was being tested, and after a few seconds of silence, he said:

"If you want to give it to me, you can..."

"Alright, the Sun." Derrick didn't ask any further questions, instead turning to the person beside him, "' The Hanged Man,' I feel there's something strange about this matter. Why did the Chief suddenly bring up the High-Sequence Potion recipes of the ' Planter ' pathway?"

" The Hanged Man," Alger, looked at "the world" Gehrman Sparrow )

"This should be a test by your chief to see if you can change the environment around City of Silver."

"I remember you mentioned before that you only knew that there was a ' Goddess of Harvest ' who was the queen of the Giant King the Moon, but according to the Sanguine records, the ' Goddess of Harvest ' was named Omebella, and that your City of Silver the Original worshipped her."

"I was only certain that the name Omebella was real, and I had no inclination towards any other claims. Now, your chief has suddenly produced High-Sequence Potion recipe for the ' Planter ' pathway that you were unaware of before, which makes me doubt whether the ' The Moon ' claim is correct."

"This shows that your City of Silver, for some reason, has concealed the fact that you once worshipped the ' Goddess of Harvest ' and deliberately avoided mentioning her real name."

There's definitely a big secret hidden here.

"A significant secret... the Sun." Derrick thought seriously for a moment, but couldn't think of any secret.

Fortunately, this wasn't a very important matter for him. He quickly ended the private conversation, returned to City of Silver, and prepared to exchange the Sealed Artifact.
