Just as " Justice " Audrey was about to request a private conversation, she suddenly noticed something. "The World," sitting at the very bottom of the bronze table, showed absolutely no interest in " Acting Method " and didn't even have the urge to ask any questions.

He already knew the " Acting Method," or had he privately consulted Mr. The Fool? Audrey muttered to herself, still cautiously requesting a private conversation.

Then, she looked at Fors and carefully chose her words and pronunciation, saying:

Our attitude towards Potion shouldn't be one of mastery, but rather one of assimilation.

"The key to digestion is Acting, and the key to Acting is the name of the Potion."

"Why?" Fors blurted out.

After a moment's consideration, she added another question:

"Then how should one Acting the role?"

Audrey recalled Mr. The Fool's posture and examples, repeating the series of descriptions of castle, guards, invitations, and impersonation, and concluded:

"In short, the purpose of this Acting is to harmonize the body, mind, and spirit, bypass the stubborn resistance of the residual spirit from the Potion, and ultimately break down and digest it."

As a Author, Fors possesses a powerful imagination. As soon as the word " Justice " was finished, she had already sketched out the corresponding images and scenes in her mind, and basically understood what the other person wanted to express.

"I see..."

"So this is how you can eliminate the residual mental effects of Potion and reduce the risk of losing control."

"The more I think about it, the more I feel that it's possible!"

Fors's doubts gradually diminished, and a feeling of surprise slowly filled her heart.

Finally, she asked a question as if to confirm:

"Was this taught by Mr. ' The Fool '?"

"Yes, if it weren't for Mr. ' The Fool,' we might have already lost control. The fact that we still exist proves that the ' Acting Method ' works. Justice," Audrey praised sincerely.

Whew... Fors quietly exhaled, feeling that her future was full of hopeful light.

Could this be the extraordinary adventure described in various stories? It feels wonderful! However, I still can't be careless. " The Fool " might be a malevolent and deeply hidden evil god... Fors reminded himself in his heart.

Immediately, she began to think about a more important question: how to Acting of an " Apprentice."

Literally speaking, " Apprentice " implies that one's skills are not yet mature and one still needs to be taught and learn diligently. One cannot be arrogant or proud, and one must understand the insignificance of one's own strength. Fors quickly let his thoughts wander, unaware that the one-on-one conversation had been interrupted.

At this moment, " The Sun " Derrick silently looked around, gritted his teeth, and said:

"I'd like to know which seven Seven Gods you're referring to, and what their general characteristics are."

He finally couldn't help but ask the question that had been weighing on his mind for so long.

"I know that!" Justice Audrey almost didn't react at first, but she quickly figured out what " the Sun " was asking, so she slightly raised her right hand.

At the same time, the " The Hanged Man " and the "World" also indicate that they can answer.

"... What are they doing?" Fors stared blankly, trying to recall what had just happened.

A moment later, she remembered the question about the " The Sun " and deciphered the implied meaning in the other person's words.

No way? He doesn't even know the Seven Gods? Where did he come from? Fors stared in astonishment at " The Sun," who was just a boy.

In the Northern Continent, apart from children who are still too young to understand, everyone knows about the seven orthodox deities!

Even the poor and homeless who are struggling to survive are no exception!

For them, the occasional free food distributed by the church was so tempting, and the workhouses they ran were a beacon of light in their despair.

"People from the Southern Continent colonies? But why would he ask such a simple question here? It's completely unnecessary! Just find a church, ask a pastor or priest to preach, and you'll find out the relevant information!" Where exactly does " The Sun " live? What a freak! Fors muttered to himself as he looked left and right, only to find that Miss " Justice," Mr. " The Hanged Man," and Mr. "The World" were not surprised at all.

At this moment, Klein, the " The Fool " shrouded in mist, saw three people rushing to answer and smiled, saying:

"Mr. ' The Sun,' who do you want to trade with?"

What kind of compensation are you willing to pay?

" The Sun," Derrick pursed his lips, thought for a few seconds, and said:

"I traded with each of them individually."

This is the only way to obtain the most comprehensive intelligence... Derrick has matured somewhat in the harsh environment of City of Silver, through previous patrols and cleanup operations.

He paused for a moment and then said:

"The reward is being allowed to ask me one question, which I can answer."

"I agree. I'm very interested in City of Silver. Justice," Audrey said with a light smile without hesitation.

City of Silver? What's that? I've never heard of it. Fors looked around blankly, feeling that he couldn't understand what they were saying at all.

Audrey glanced at her and kindly explained:

"'Mr. The Sun ' is neither on the Northern Continent, nor on some island in the ocean; City of Silver is located beyond the limits of our knowledge or exploration."

"Is this a lie?" Fors instinctively had this thought.

However, the " The Sun's" performance and the idea that no one could possibly conspire to deceive me led her to quickly accept Audrey's explanation.

This Concealment gathering is more unbelievable than I imagined... Mr. The Fool is even more formidable than I imagined... Fors sighed inwardly and uttered a few words of reflection.

Audrey vaguely sensed her current thoughts, and for a moment she really wanted to brag about how " Admiral Hurricane " Qilangos, Intis Ambassador Bakerland, and "fraudster" Lanarvus all died because of the Tarot Club.

It's a pity that if Fors knew about these three things, she would immediately conclude that Audrey is " Justice." It must be kept a secret, it must be kept a secret... It's hard work, but it must be kept a secret!" " Justice " Audrey suddenly took a deep breath.

Because he didn't know anything about City of Silver and didn't know what to ask, Fors didn't get involved in the following transactions and chose to observe from the sidelines.

The Hanged Man and the World both agreed to Derrick the Sun's request.

The happiest person was Klein, for him this meant that his harvest had increased from one to three.

The Fool can hear what happens during their private conversations! And Klein clearly has no intention of shielding himself from it.

"' The Sun ' is such a simple and honest guy!" he thought to himself with a smile.

Because there was so much information related to the Seven Gods, " Justice," " The Hanged Man," and "The World" could only pick out what they considered important to "write." After a while, they each passed their descriptions to " The Sun."

Derrick quickly skimmed through it, his gaze lingering on a few lines of words:

"Besides the Lord Who Created Everything, the most ancient deities are the Eternal Blazing Sun, the Lord of Storms, and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom; their church is the most ancient church."

Why haven't I heard of these gods...? I've never heard of any of them... I feel there's something very important hidden here... Knowing that the Tarot Gathering time was limited, " The Sun " Derrick hurriedly ended his reading, intending to go back and pray to " The Fool " for help in awakening his memories.

Next, the first to raise a question was " Justice " Audrey.

Because of the serial murder case, she became very interested in the " Devil " Sequence, so she imitated Mr. "World" and asked related questions.

Derrick answered skillfully, adding an extra sentence:

"In the corresponding Sequence 7, Beyonder of the ' Abyss ' pathway can effectively interfere with Divination and Spirit Channeling."

The " Devil's" abilities are truly terrifying. I wonder if my Sequence 7 " Psychiatrist " will bring about a qualitative change... or, will I have to reach Sequence 6? Audrey listened with a hint of fear.

The second question comes from Alger, the " The Hanged Man ".

He seemed to have pondered for a long time, gazing at the " The Sun," and spoke in a deep voice:

"I want to know the creation myth of City of Silver."

Derrick was slightly tense, relaxed a little and said:

" Omniscient and Omnipotent God created everything and then went into slumber."

"The Giant King Ormir, the 'Dragon of Imagination' Angorvid, the Elf King Suniasolem, the progenitor of vampires Lilith, the Demon King Fabuti, the progenitor of the phoenix Gregari, the monstrous King Kvasithun, and the Wolf King Fregra, divided the power left by the Lord, becoming the gods who rule the sky, the earth, and the sea, the realm of reality, the spirit world, and the astral plane, and the gods who rule over all races—the true gods, the ancient gods."

Flegrea? Klein, who was listening in, suddenly noticed a familiar word.

Whenever he received a promotion, became unstable, or came into contact with the lingering influence of the Antigonus Family Notebook, he would hear unsettling whispers echoing in his ears:

" Hornacis... Flegrea... Hornacis... Flegrea... Hornacis... Flegrea..."

Klein had known for a long time that Hornacis referred to the mountain range with the ruins of the Nation of Evernight, but he never understood what the word Flegrea meant.

And now, for the first time, he heard " Flegrea " from someone else!

The King of Demonic Wolves, an ancient god!

But why is He connected to the Hornacis Mountain Range? Klein remained motionless, listening quietly as " The Sun," Derrick, continued his narration:

"Some of them perished in their struggles with one another, while others were Deprivation of their authority after the awakening of the Creator, the Omniscient and Omnipotent God."

"The first part is the creation myth, and the second part is the actual history that City of Silver experienced."

Alger, the " The Hanged Man," was still eager to learn more, but he had to stop in time and turn to thinking because the " The Sun " was unwilling to say more.

Flegrea, the King of Demonic Wolves, withdrew from the stage of history during the Second Age, the Dark Age long before the Cataclysm? Klein pondered as he Manipulation the "world" to ask the question.

What he originally wanted to ask was which Sequence of Beyonder could freely switch between physical and spiritual bodies, like Miss Sharron. If " The Sun " didn't know this, then they could consider other questions.

But now, he had something more important to know, so he spoke in a somber, hoarse voice:

Everything about Flegrea, the King of Demonic Wolves.

" The Sun " Derrick glanced at "World" with slight surprise, then frowned and said:

"I don't know much about this ancient deity."

"He is also known as the ' Demonic Wolf of Destruction ' and the ' Demonic Wolf of Evernight '."

" Demonic Wolf of Evernight... Evernight?" Klein narrowed his eyes slightly.

P. S.: Updates will be earlier, around midnight.
