That's the question I wanted to ask too... Klein, the " The Fool " at the head of the mottled long table, silently echoed the " The Hanged Man's" words.

Leonard, nicknamed " The Star," thought for a moment, trying to find possible reasons:

The fact that the ' True Creator ' originated from the ' Rose Redemption ' does not mean that He fully understands everything about the ' Rose Redemption.' Perhaps figuring out the truth from the beginning was one of His purposes...

He had barely finished speaking when " Justice " Audrey immediately denied the speculation:

" Ouroboros, the ' Angel of Fate ' who painted that mural, still remains within the ' Rose Redemption,' following the ' True Creator.' You can ask Him any questions you may have."

"Perhaps the ' True Creator's' purpose is to confirm the state of ' Dark Angel ' Sasrir, which can be initially inferred from ' Shepherd ' Lovia's strong desire to enter the Giant King's palace," offered the opinion of " The Hermit " Cattleya.

"That's my judgment too." " The Hanged Man " Alger glanced at " The Sun " Derrick and said, "Of course, we can't rule out the possibility raised by ' The Star '. Perhaps ' Angel of Fate ' Ouroboros is not in a good state and has lost most of his memories, and can only rely on the murals left behind to gradually recover his lost past. The probability is very low, but it doesn't mean it's impossible. We don't know what's special or what problems the Angel King has."

As he spoke, " The Hanged Man " Alger glanced at " The Fool," seemingly hoping to get some hints from this being, but unfortunately he received no response.

" The Fool " Klein wasn't actually without ideas; rather, he had too many ideas and didn't know how to put them into practice.

" The Tail Devourer " Ouroboros grew up alongside the " True Creator " during each " Restart," and no one knows his current state... After muttering this to himself, Klein, seeing that everyone lacked further Spirit Intuition, Manipulation the "World" to look at the " The Sun " Derrick and said:

"I recently harvested a batch of mushrooms that can grow and reproduce in the dark by consuming the flesh and blood of Monster. I wonder if your City of Silver would be interested?"

"Mushrooms that can devour the flesh and blood of Monster?" Judgement and the others were both surprised and curious, wondering how such creatures could exist.

Indeed, there are many things in the world that we do not yet know... This is what a " Scribe " should Record... " Magician " Fors then sighed and realized something.

The gaze of " The Hermit " Cattleya suddenly deepened. She sat there, neither speaking nor making any movement, like a statue.

Upon hearing this, " The Sun " Derrick was overjoyed and, his mind racing, blurted out:

"Can those mushrooms actively attack Monster?"

If possible, this could serve as both food and an outer defensive system for City of Silver.

I thought Little " The Sun " would be afraid of those mushrooms... but his "demands" were even more outrageous... "World" Gehrman Sparrow's lips twitched slightly as he said:

"No, if mushrooms can actively attack Monster, then you won't be an exception."

" The Sun " Derrick was immediately a little ashamed and quickly nodded:

"I understand, Mr. 'World'."

Klein then had the dummy "world" described further:

"Some of those mushrooms can be ground into flour, some produce milk, some can accumulate fat, similar to beef, and some taste like fish but without bones... Except for the milk, which can be drunk directly, the others must be cooked by steaming, boiling, frying, or grilling. Otherwise, those mushrooms will absorb blood and flesh from the body, regain their activity, and turn a person into countless mushrooms from the inside out..."

The Tarot Club members, including " Justice " Audrey and " The Hanged Man " Alger, initially seemed to be listening to a novel and interesting story, but as they listened, they all subconsciously shrank back and became unusually silent.

Only the " The Hermit " Cattleya's eyelids twitched, and she decided to return to the real world to have a proper "talk" with Frank.

She was worried that one day when the " The Star Pirates " held a vote among its crew, a large number of mushrooms would cast their solemn votes.

At this moment, the Sun Derrick, who had listened attentively, couldn't hide his anticipation and curiosity and asked:

"Mr. World, what is flour? Is it like black sesame powder?"

"Also, what is milk, what is beef, and what is fish?"

He had actually seen fish before, but he didn't think they were fish—in a swamp in the South Borough of City of Silver, there were many strange, highly venomous fish-shaped Monster. Some of them had bumps all over their bodies, some had teeth growing out of their eyes, and some had their heads split open with a white membrane inside, which they could use to hunt other creatures.

... No matter how strange those mushrooms are, they are something to look forward to for City of Silver... Their first problem is whether they have them, not whether they are good or not... Upon hearing this, " The Fool " Klein sighed and turned his gaze to " Justice " Audrey.

Describing flour, milk, beef, and fish in detail doesn't fit the character of "World" Gehrman Sparrow.

As a seasoned " Spectator " and Gehrman Sparrow's Psychiatrist, " Justice " Audrey instantly understood what the other party wanted to express, and after careful consideration, said:

Milk is the liquid that cows use to nourish their offspring...

She believed that Little " The Sun " would easily understand this, after all, there were pregnant women and babies in City of Silver.

Seeing that " The Sun " Derrick nodded in understanding, she continued:

Milk provides a wealth of nutrients, helping you grow taller and stronger...

Audrey didn't finish her sentence because the little " The Sun " sitting in the seat was so imposing.

After "Miss Justice " finished explaining those concepts, " The Sun " Derrick looked intently at "World" Gehrman Sparrow:

"Thank you, Mr. 'World,' this is exactly what our City of Silver needs. I will go back and tell the Chief immediately, he will surely be very happy."

What would you like to exchange for?

" The Fool " Klein hesitated for a moment before Manipulation "The World," Gehrman Sparrow, who said:

" The Potion recipe of the ' Ancient Alchemist '."

" The Hermit!" The Cattleya, instinctively tried to stop her, but ultimately suppressed her impulse.

She glanced at Mr. The Fool, and seeing that this great being said nothing, she felt much more at ease.

"Okay," Derrick, the " The Sun," readily agreed.

After discussing these matters, " The Star " Leonard requested a private conversation with " The Moon " Emlyn.

"When will you let me out?" Emlyn asked as soon as the other members of the Tarot Club were blocked.

The Star Leonard, maintaining his composure, said:

"This is something I can't decide. My advice is that you contact the higher-ups in the Sanguine as soon as possible and have them find a way to get you out."

These two guys managed to turn a simple "protective custody" into an accident? Klein, the " The Fool " who was listening in, almost laughed, but he held it in.

Emlyn's expression darkened, and after a few seconds he said:

"Would it be useful to talk to the higher-ups of our Sanguine?"

"The goddess is the ' Lady of Crimson,' and she's quite kind to you guys who belong to the ' The Moon ' realm, even though you don't believe in her," The Star Leonard replied.

His true explanation was that the Sanguine, an ancient race that had lived for centuries, must have some connection with the various churches, especially since the Sanguine queen was the queen of the " Night Emperor," and the Church of Evernight supported the " Night Emperor " at that time.

Emlyn, the " The Moon," also thought of this and nodded slightly.

"I'll try to entrust it to Mr. 'World'."

This was the most reliable person he could think of.

As soon as they finished speaking, " The Moon " Emlyn and " The Star " Leonard suddenly spoke at the same time:

"Wrong."

"You thought of that too?" The Moon then glanced at the Star beside Emlyn.

Leonard, nicknamed " The Star," scoffed.

"Such a simple question."

Emlyn, the " The Moon," responded with a sneer:

"But you just suggested that I contact the higher-ups in the Sanguine."

"I've been locked up in the Church of Evernight for several days now. They must have known by now. The reason they haven't tried to rescue me is probably because they want to see who else will help me, in order to find my accomplices."

Leonard, nicknamed " The Star," looked elsewhere.

"That's very likely, so you'll just have to stay behind the Chanis Gate. Maybe in a few more days, they'll lose patience and kick you out."

"..." Emlyn, unsure how to respond to " The Moon," was speechless.

After the private conversation between the man and the Sanguine ended, "World" Gehrman Sparrow looked at " Magician " Fors and said:

"Give me the location and time to meet. After the party, I'll come find you and take you to a new place."

"Okay." " Magician " Fors hurriedly asked " The Fool " to visualize the time and place on a piece of parchment.

When she handed over the paper, she hesitated for a moment before asking:

"Mr. World, what should we pay attention to this time?"

"Keep warm." "World," Gehrman Sparrow replied simply.

"Keep warm..." Fors, the " Magician," was momentarily stunned, not understanding what the other person was trying to say.

After looking at the parchment, "World" Gehrman Sparrow glanced around and said:

"Everyone in Backlund, please be on high alert for any unusual activity around you."

First, Zaratul might lure Amon to his side; second, the Witch Trissy might help Mr. Door prepare for the ceremony; and third, George III might take the final step towards becoming the " Black Emperor " at some point.

"Okay." " Justice " Audrey and the other members of the Tarot Club in Backlund nodded in succession, and each recalled the recent situation, finding nothing unusual.

After exchanging ideas for a while, the other members asked "Miss Justice " to use " Hypnosis " to help them forget parts of their memories. The Tarot Gathering then came to an end, and the figures disappeared into the Gray Fog, leaving only " The Fool " Klein.

After sitting in silence for more than ten minutes, thinking about other issues, Klein returned to the real world and " Teleportation " to the agreed location to wait for his meeting with Miss " Magician ".

As winter approached, the sky darkened at four o'clock in the afternoon, the clouds were gray, and gas supplies were controlled due to the war, so the streetlights had not yet been turned on.
