Compared to the past, " The Sun " Derrick is noticeably smarter, no longer clumsily relying solely on verbal descriptions.
After obtaining Mr. The Fool's consent, he materialized a series of images he could recall, presenting the process of exploration and what he considered to be the key points in an intermittent manner to the Hanged Man, Justice, the Magician, and the World, and then supplementing them with some explanation.
The city walls collapsed in the darkness, the streets winding through the destroyed buildings, the white and blue of dust illuminated by the light of animal-skin lanterns, the ancient temple supported by stone pillars, the statues hanging upside down on the black crosses, a series of murals depicting the " Fallen Creator " bearing the sins of humanity, the unusually alluring beautiful "mushrooms," the altar with the eerily open eyes of the statues, and the blond boy Jack hiding in the back—all these scenes took shape and were reflected in the eyes of the Tarot Club members in the most direct and realistic way.
The eerie and gloomy style, the ever-present sense of crisis, and the bizarre developments all greatly excited " Justice " Audrey, sparking her intense interest.
This is the situation around City of Silver... more captivating than any novel I've ever read... the allure of this blend of mystery, the unknown, and terror... of course, it's not pleasant for the humans who live there... Audrey's thoughts wandered, wishing she could immediately become Demigod- level powerhouse and venture into that region ruled by darkness and Storm.
" The Fool " Klein watched with a sense of melancholy and reflection.
He sighed, realizing how remarkable it was that City of Silver had managed to survive in such an environment. He lamented that Little " The Sun " was still not quick-witted enough and lacked experience; otherwise, he could have presented the events in Record or movie, making it absolutely thrilling and captivating!
However, this would make the story take longer, and my Spirituality couldn't sustain everyone watching a movie here. Moreover, the longer we stayed above the Gray Fog, the higher the chance of something bad happening in the outside world... Klein suddenly felt a little fortunate.
Alger " The Hanged Man," quietly finished reading and carefully reviewed the text. He then had the " The Sun " display the key points he had selected above the bronze table, including the mural depicting the " Fallen Creator " confronting the six "evil gods."
"What kind of evil gods are these?" Alger stared at the octopus-headed Monster wrapped in lightning, standing on black waves, wearing a bird feather cloak, and holding a trident, and some inexplicable associations came to mind.
" The Sun " Derrick honestly shook his head:
"I didn't know; I thought you two knew each other."
" Justice " Audrey and " Magician " Fors both turned their gazes over, observing carefully several times, but still couldn't find the object of their guesses.
They originally thought this was the sixth of the eight ancient gods in the mythology of City of Silver, but they couldn't find enough corresponding figures. After all, among the ancient gods were Dragon, Elf, Giant, Phoenix, and Demonic Wolf of Destruction, while the mural only depicted one Giant.
This... Upon closer inspection, the " The Fool " nearly had his pupils shrink.
He was preoccupied with his posture and didn't get a good look at the mural the first time, but now he finally noticed something was wrong.
This is very similar to the six god statues I saw in the underground ruins of the Tudor Family, except one is the normal version and the other is the corrupted and Depravity version... It's really hard to look at directly, especially the Earth Mother, the Lord of Storms, and the Eternal Blazing Sun, who have not only been blackened into evil gods, but are closer to ugly Monster... Klein did not have the sudden realization of finding the truth. It was something he expected that the " True Creator " would slander the six gods and Distortion their image.
However, we cannot completely ignore the possibilities revealed by this mural. Just as I had always thought that the true gods had no human form and were only symbols, the statues in the underground ruins of the Tudor Family made me less certain... It seems that the establishment of the image of the gods has a long evolution, and there are many secrets hidden in it... When Klein saw that Miss " Justice " was focused on examining the mural and had not paid any attention to Mr. " The Fool's" attitude, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Because this involved whether the little " The Sun " could escape the strange predicament of repeating the same short segment of his life, he decided to tell what he knew.
Of course, a lengthy introduction and display of the six gods within the underground ruins is not in line with the identity of " The Fool," who intends to Manipulation "the world" to accomplish this.
This aligns with his long-held belief in equating "the world" with Sherlock Moriarty.
The " The Fool " should utter a profound and enigmatic phrase. " Evernight, the Sun, Storm, Wisdom, Earth, Giant," without offering any further explanation or superfluous description... Klein pondered for two seconds, then the "World" spoke in a hoarse voice:
I've seen similar statues.
After attracting everyone's attention, he paused and added:
"During an adventure exploring Quaternary ruins."
" Justice " Audrey was very interested in this, but outwardly maintained a basic level of reserve:
"Mr. World, what kind of statue is that? Could you show it to us? Of course, if you're unwilling, or if you require payment, we can discuss it further."
"No need, because this will also clear up some of my doubts," "The World" said with a gloomy smile.
He pretended to make a request to Mr. The Fool, and after receiving permission, he manifested the six statues of gods and their corresponding symbols that he had seen.
The woman, whose dress was layered but not elaborate, seemed ethereal, yet possessed an exceptionally beautiful quality, as she rested her head on the Full Moon. Her long black dress was also dotted with starlight, like the night sky, and with the iconic Sacred Emblem of Darkness, " Justice " Audrey immediately recognized her as the Evernight Goddess she worshipped.
This statue bears a striking resemblance to the evil god in the upper left corner of the mural, except that its face is more human-like, and there are no eerie eyes hidden in the surrounding environment!
Blasphemy! This is blasphemy against the goddess! Audrey was suddenly furious, but quickly calmed down.
As the most notorious evil god, it was predictable that the " True Creator " would have his followers vilify the goddess... But why would there be a human-shaped statue of the goddess in the underground ruins...? Aren't true gods just symbols? Audrey frowned slightly, lost in thought.
Alger, the " The Hanged Man," seemed to realize something, and sighed as he said:
"The mural originally depicted Distortion images of the six gods."
"They really did have human forms..."
This might be the reason why the major churches have been trying to find the " Forsaken Land of the Gods "... and the " Forsaken Land of the Gods " is probably really deep in the Sonia Sea. Well, it certainly doesn't exist in a normal state, otherwise the gods wouldn't have failed to discover it... Alger silently added a couple of sentences in his mind.
The Sun was taken aback at first, then quickly realized:
"Mr. ' The Hanged Man,' are these the deities you mentioned, such as the Evernight Goddess and the Lord of Storms?"
"Yes," The Hanged Man replied affirmatively.
"What do they have to do with the Apocalypse? What do they have to do with the Derrick the Sun instinctively.
Unfortunately, no one could answer him.
" The Magician " Fors raised his hand with some confusion:
Why is there no God of Steam and Machinery?
This is the deity she worships.
Throughout the Northern Continent, the Seven Gods have always been referred to together!
"It is said that the God of Steam and Machinery, who was originally the God of Craftsmanship, was not born until the Fourth Epoch. It seems that this is true, and the point at which he was born seems to be in the middle and late Fourth Epoch, rather than the early and middle ones..." The Hanged Man said, half explaining and half speculating.
He has an undisguised enthusiasm for such topics.
Oh, I see... Fors felt inexplicably guilty, because she hadn't seriously read " The Holy Bible of Steam and Machinery," and her faith seemed to be just a habit.
" The Sun " Derrick didn't dwell on what had just happened, but instead asked:
Is this mural the key point?
"Perhaps, you can try to break it, but don't, oh, don't let the chief doubt you." The Hanged Man originally wanted to say not to try to recite the name of one of the six gods, otherwise He or they might descend directly to the " Forsaken Land of the Gods," but after careful consideration, he realized that the little " The Sun " didn't know the corresponding name at all.
"Okay, thank you, Mr. ' The Hanged Man,' you're always so kind and enthusiastic. And Miss ' Justice,' Miss ' Magician,' Mr. 'World,' you're all equally kind," Derrick said sincerely.
Kindness? Enthusiasm? The " The Hanged Man " was momentarily at a loss for how to react.
This was the first time he had been described using such words.
Seeing that they had finished their discussion, Klein suddenly remembered something: during the previous exploration of the semi-abandoned temple of the " True Creator," City of Silver had discovered the name " Rose Redemption," but this time it seemed that they hadn't paid attention to that.
It cannot be ignored... According to the Evil Spirit in the underground ruins, this extremely Concealment organization, led by Depravity Angel, is no less powerful than the " Hermits of Fate." The "time loop" may be part of their scheme... Thinking of this, the " The Fool," sitting upright in his high-backed chair, leisurely adjusted his posture and tapped the edge of the mottled long table with his fingers.
" Justice " Audrey immediately turned her head and looked at Mr. " The Fool " with slight excitement, eagerly awaiting his hint.
The Hanged Man, the Sun, the Magician, and the World all turned their expectant gazes toward Mr. The Fool.
Klein, the " The Fool " in the thick fog, chuckled softly and said:
" Rose Redemption."
" Rose Redemption "? What is that... the key to getting out of this predicament? That's right, that name is in a corner of a mural above the temple! " The Sun " Derrick seemed to understand something.
Alger the Hanged Man, Audrey the Justice, and Fors the Magician also recalled and valued the name " Rose Redemption," but they could not fully understand the true meaning that Mr. The Fool wanted to express.
"Dear Mr. ' The Fool,' what does the ' Rose Redemption ' represent?" Audrey raised her hand and asked the question.
This time, Klein didn't answer, he just chuckled.
His idea was simple: the organization " Rose Redemption " was closely related to the " True Creator," and no matter how the events that occurred inside the temple were digressed, they would somehow point to them.
As for whether this name is the so-called key point, Klein is neither sure nor worried, since the interpretation is in his hands anyway.
They misunderstood the true meaning of " the Sun," so how could it be Mr. The Fool's problem?
