After a brief moment of thought, " The Hermit " Cattleya made the most advantageous choice, stating without revealing any emotion:

"I'll check what common Monster are around City of Silver before I decide."

Another one trying to get something for nothing... Are people who've been at sea for a long time all this good at taking advantage of others? Or is it that Little " The Sun " is posing too well, making people want to take advantage of it...? " The Fool " Klein instinctively excluded himself from the ranks of those trying to get something for nothing.

"Okay, the Sun," Derrick agreed to the Hermit's request without hesitation, under the watchful eyes of " Justice " and the others.

He recalled the contents and materialized them, listing the common Monster in the area around City of Silver, but it was not as detailed as last time, with many omissions. After all, the " The Sun " pathway had a very limited effect on improving memory, and many days had passed.

" The Hermit " Cattleya took the document and began to carefully examine it.

The more she looked, the more horrified she became, because the number of Monster species far exceeded her imagination—by tens or even hundreds of times!

Most of these names use archaic terms. If she weren't a member of the " Moss Ascetic Order " who was pursuing knowledge and had already reached Sequence 5, with extensive knowledge and experience, she would have had no way of knowing what those names actually referred to.

Even so, there were still many Monster she had never heard of before, like those "shadows" hiding in the depths of darkness in her dreams and imaginations, never truly showing themselves.

Where exactly is City of Silver? How can there be so many Monster there? After about ten seconds, Cattleya raised her head, her expression unchanged, and said in a calm tone:

"You traded the history of City of Silver for it."

"Good. The Sun!" Derrick's eyes lit up, as if he saw the dawn of promotion.

With the help of Mr. The Fool, he quickly materialized the outline of the history textbook for City of Silver. Having considerable experience, he knew that a more complete and detailed version was far more valuable than the fruit of the Radiant Spirit Pact Tree, so he held back some details.

Knowing she wasn't Mr. The Fool and couldn't keep the members waiting for her to read, " The Hermit " Cattleya casually flipped through it, confirmed its value, and then cautiously asked:

How can I give you the fruit of the Radiant Spirit Pact Tree?

As soon as she finished speaking, something suddenly occurred to her, and she had a guess. So she turned her head and looked at the head of the long bronze table and said:

"Mr. The Fool, is it done through sacrifice?"

This clearly startled Audrey, who was on the same side and had already prepared her Justice, causing her to swallow back the words she was about to say.

" The Hermit is amazing! She's so insightful. She guessed the method of sacrifice and bestowal right away!" Audrey controlled the subtle expressions on her face and clicked her tongue in amazement.

"Hmm." Klein nodded slightly, offering no further explanation.

He believed that a pirate general, Sequence 5 powerhouse of the " Mystery Pryer " pathway, could not possibly be unaware of how to perform a sacrifice; it was even one of their specialties. Moreover, the other party also possessed the title of " The Fool," so there was no issue of lacking the necessary conditions.

Indeed, when a true deity exists and witnesses the gathering, sacrifice and bestowal are the most convenient and safest forms of exchange... and communication at the Spirit Body level can directly resolve the exchange of knowledge... " The Hermit " Cattleya expressed her gratitude, then turned to " The Sun " and said:

"I will finish it as soon as possible."

She appeared outwardly normal, but inwardly she was far from calm. She had only casually glanced at the information provided by " The Sun " and discovered that City of Silver was indeed full of strangeness.

What was abandoned by the Lord, what was lost to the Sun, what was left only with the eternal Evernight and the alternating high and low Monster of lightning, what was hidden in the darkness without light, what was survived by relying on the black-faced grass, what was persisted for more than two thousand years in the "Dark Ages"—all of these were beyond the imagination of the " The Hermit " Cattleya.

As a knowledgeable and powerful seafarer with extensive knowledge of many Concealment, she instantly connected the time and events to one of the most famous concepts in history, the " Cataclysm "!

Immediately following this line of thought, she made a further speculation:

" The Forsaken Land of the Gods!"

Suddenly, the image of that revered figure resurfaced in the mind of " The Hermit " Cattleya, along with a slightly sighing phrase:

He spent his life searching for the " Forsaken Land of the Gods," saying it held the ultimate answers to everything.

" The Sun comes from the ' Forsaken Land of the Gods ' that Emperor Roselle searched in vain?" Could Mr. The Fool connect to that place? No, perhaps, it was from there that He awoke... " The Hermit " Cattleya thought with shock and solemnity.

She had just underestimated Tarot Club because of the low Sequence of " The Moon," " Justice," and " The Sun," and thought that " The Fool " had only recently been revived and could not attract enough members. Now she has to readjust her perception.

Involving the " Forsaken Land of the Gods," the Church of Storms, the Church of the Earth Mother, the Loen noble class... Perhaps it is precisely by developing from the Low-Sequence that these members can rise to high positions in their respective circles without suspicion and play a more important role... And me, is it because of the Moss Ascetic Order, or Her Majesty the Queen? Cattleya seriously analyzed Mr. " The Fool's " purpose.

At this point, the transactions were nearing completion. " The Moon," " The Sun," and " Justice " had all finalized their deals. " The Hermit " Cattleya, still observing, remained cautious and refrained from speaking rashly or revealing her information.

Alger the Hanged Man originally intended to purchase the Sequence 5 " Ocean Songster " Potion recipe in advance to prepare for the future, but the arrival of the Hermit made him extremely wary, so he temporarily abandoned this plan and decided to wait until he truly advanced to " Wind-blessed " and was stronger, with more room to maneuver.

" Magician " Fors, on the other hand, knew that he would soon receive the " Astrologer " Potion recipe and some materials from his teacher, and before that, he didn't know what to buy in advance, so he could only quietly observe.

Deep down, she harbored a desire to buy a magical item to compensate for her relatively flashy but not powerful " Trickmaster " abilities, and the fact that her " Apprentice " was only good at passing through walls Door Opening. However, practical factors limited her desire.

Today, her savings exceed £400, which is quite good for the middle class, but she clearly remembers that Miss Justice last spent a whopping £5,500 on magical items.

Even a relatively ordinary magical item with minimal negative effects would cost at least a thousand or two pounds... " The Magician " Fors sat there lazily, unable to bring himself to ask for it.

Klein Manipulation the "world" and looked around, then said in a deep, hoarse voice:

"I need the eyes of Six-Winged Gargoyle."

Among the auxiliary materials for " Marionettist," the Golden Spring water of Sonia Island and the bark of the Dragon Pattern Tree are common and frequently used items in the mysterious world. As long as they are purchased in installments, they will not arouse suspicion. Therefore, Klein only mentioned the eyeball of the Six-Winged Gargoyle.

The " The Hermit " Cattleya glanced at the "world" and said in a measured tone:

"300 pounds, or the equivalent in gold coins."

She noticed that the previous transactions were conducted using Loen's gold pounds.

As expected of a " Admiral of Stars " who commands a pirate crew and is backed by an ancient power, his resources are plentiful, and the prices are cheaper than normal... If it weren't for the fact that Little " The Sun " is about to be promoted and will soon obtain a method to remove mental pollution from Beyonder Characteristic, I would have consulted her about this... Klein's thoughts shifted, and "World" chuckled in a low voice:

"Good."

As the transaction was completed, the palace, which resembled the dwelling of Giant, fell silent for a dozen seconds.

Without Mr. The Fool's prompting, " Justice," " The Sun," and others already knew they had entered the free discussion phase.

Alger, the " The Hanged Man," deliberately ignored Lady " The Hermit " and looked at Lady " Justice " and Lady " Magician," saying:

"A major event has recently occurred in the Rorsted Archipelago."

He had no intention of revealing the fact that "The World" was deeply involved and that Mr. The Fool might possess the incarnation of " Sea God," because rashly seeking confirmation might disrupt Mr. The Fool's plans, which would be extremely dangerous for him.

He only intended to mention the surface events in a normal tone, focusing on Latiz, a member of the " Moss Ascetic Order," an Archaeologist, and an adventurer. He wanted to use this to test the " The Hermit " and see if she was " Admiral of Stars " Cattleya, because this pirate general was rumored to be a member of the " Moss Ascetic Order."

"What is it, Justice?" Audrey asked with interest.

" The Hanged Man," Alger said calmly.

"The disguised Archaeologist Latiz discovered an ancient Elf ruin on the Simim Island and took an item from it, indirectly causing the local sea Sea God ' Kavithua ' to fall into collapse."

"This false god wanted to create a tsunami to submerge the islands and make everyone perish with him, but he was stopped by the ' Sea King ' of the Church of Storms."

"Ultimately, Latiz was found, Kavithua died, and the threat of the tsunami was completely averted. But strangely, the devout followers of the ' Sea God ' could still occasionally receive a response."

Latiz is dead? For an ancient Elf ruin... " The Hermit " Cattleya had heard of this Archaeologist who belonged to the same organization, but she was not familiar with him. Moreover, the official members of the " Moss Ascetic Order " all undergo a period of silent asceticism, and their concentration and self-control far surpass those of ordinary people. Therefore, she was only slightly moved and listened more attentively to the " The Hanged Man's " narration, without showing any obvious abnormality.

After the " The Hanged Man " finished speaking, Kavithua died, but the " Sea God " still responded to the believers. Cattleya frowned in confusion at first, but then, based on her Spirituality intuition, she recalled a scene.

When Mr. The Fool pulled her here yesterday, she saw him holding a milky-white scepter.

The top of the scepter was inlaid with blue-green "gems," and it was surrounded by countless holy points of light.

More importantly, it exudes a divine aura, a near-tangible aura of the sea and Storm!

This... " The Hermit " Cattleya instinctively turned her head and looked at the head of the bronze table, at Mr. " The Fool " shrouded in gray-white mist.
