Part 1 The Joker Chapter 180: Smart People Always Think Too Much
Just heard the “Fool” question, Audrey quietly ears, into the “audience” state, waiting for the “sun” to answer.
She has always been very curious about where Silver City is, what special places, but embarrassed to ask, after all, this involves the other party’s privacy.
At this moment, Mr. “Fool” himself asked, so she was like reading the first book of a good detective novel for a long time, and finally had the opportunity to buy the next book!
The answer of the “Sun” did not disappoint her, they believed in neither the mainstream seven orthodox deities, nor the Southern Continent’s God of Death, nor the hidden existences and evil deities and demons that the “Inverted Man” had told her about, such as the Original Witch, the Hidden Sage, the Universe, the Dark Side, the Bound God, and the Foolish God. The Dark Side, the Bound God, the True Creator.
The Silver City was indeed special! They believe in the Creator himself! This is the original cult described by Mr. Hanged Man, isn’t it? Well, omniscient description is a bit strange …… Audrey subconsciously inclined her head to look at the “inverted man”, and found that the other party is really nodding slightly.
And Klein is not the slightest bit surprised, deliberately chuckled lightly and asked in return:
”Even if k abandoned you?”
Abandon? The Creator abandoned Silver City? “The Inverted Man,” Alger chortled, instantly associating it with a proper noun:
”God’s Forsaken Land!”
In the internal information of the Storm Lord’s Church, in the hidden secrets that Alger, a bishop-level “captain”, had access to, “God’s Forsaken Land” was always only a name, without a specific description, but it clearly pointed to the end of the Sunia Sea, and as far as he knew, even the cardinals located at the core of the Church had no idea of where it was. As far as he knew, even the Cardinals at the heart of the Church did not know what the “Godforsaken Land” actually stood for. Only the leader of the Church, the Storm Lord’s “Actor”, knew something about it, and seemed to be secretly presiding over the search for the “Godforsaken Land”. God’s Forsaken Land” hidden action.
Alger had once made a bold guess, equating the “Sanctuary” of the true Creator proclaimed by the Aurora Society with the “Godforsaken Land”, but unfortunately, the “Fool” did not give him an answer, leaving him with no way to confirm it. Unfortunately, the Fool did not give him an answer, leaving him with no way of confirming it.
Now, he was shocked and dismayed to realize that the members of the Tarot Society, codenamed “Sun”, were most likely from the “Godforsaken Land”!
”Mr. Fool knew where the Forsaken Lands were all along, and was able to pull in members from there? This is the secret place that the Storm Lords wanted to find, but never did!
”Alger, the Hanged Man, looked fearfully at the Fool, who sat at the top of the ancient table, and saw him leaning against the back of his chair, shrouded in a thick fog, and seemingly saying nothing.
Audrey did not have much feeling in this matter, the only time she heard of the “God’s Abandoned Land” was from the problem of the “upside down man”, but she did not put this matter on her mind, and could not understand from the words of Mr. “Fool” just now. Mr. “Fool” had just said, but he hadn’t taken it to heart, and couldn’t associate it with the words of Mr. “Fool”.
Silver City has the legend of being abandoned by the Creator …… Hey, Mr. “Inverted Hanging Man” has a lot of mood swings ah …… What is he surprised and afraid of? Audrey nodded suspiciously, memorizing the details of the moment.
”Yes, we all believe we can eventually regain the Lord’s favor, perhaps the day the sun rises again.” Derek Berg replied in a not too firm tone, “We were once ruled by the Giant’s Royal Court and believed in the Giant King, Olmir, and then, we were redeemed by the Lord, and we will not turn our backs on Him again.”
Being ruled by the Giant’s Royal Court …… is indeed ancient …… but does not seem to correspond …… to the “inverted hanged man” who has guessed that the Alger instantly thought of the description of the Second Age in the hidden chapter of the Book of Storms.
The Second Era is also known as the “Dark Era” of mankind. At that time, the main characters of the sky, sea and earth were dragons, giants, elves, fae, demons, undead birds, demon wolves and dead spirits. The “Age of Glory” is the beginning of the Third Age, followed by the so-called Cataclysm.
The Giant King Ormil …… Kraven repeated the name silently.
In many myths and legends, this is a powerful existence comparable to the gods, even to this day, some places still remain his worship, such as the Republic of Intis, the most famous and most expensive wine is named “Olmir” – it is said that this giant king loves blood wine. The most famous and expensive wine in the Republic of Intis is named “Ormir” – it is said that the giant king loved blood wine.
Considering that the complete sequence of the “God of War” Church, that is, the “Warrior” sequence, once belonged to the Giant King’s Court, is it possible to think that Ormil is the ancient God of War? Klein made a guess.
He deliberately nodded his head, not looking into this aspect of the matter, and turned to speak low and slow:
”Are you still ‘sacrificing’ to that all-knowing God?”
”Yes, still, but we have not received a response since the day we were abandoned.” “The sun,” Derek’s tone implied a hurt that was hard to hide.
Klein leaned back more leisurely and said with his eyes half-closed:
”Describe in detail the process of your sacrifice.”
Mr. “Fool” wanted to find out the truth about Silver City’s abandonment? Or was he trying to determine if the Creator still “existed”? Mr. “Hanged Man” Alger suddenly felt an “electric current” pass through his body, and his whole body shivered.
He was not only afraid, but also excited, because he thought he was in contact with the hidden secrets of the gods!
This made him feel that his own level had been elevated!
Isn’t this the feeling I’ve been striving to obtain by chasing after authority and power? Alger leaned back slightly, his chin slightly raised, enraptured.
”Inverted man” Mr. mental state is not normal ah …… “Justice” Audrey looked at the opposite side of the pity.
She finally realized that the exchange between Mr. “Fool” and the “Sun” might be hiding some amazing secrets, so much so that the “inverted man” appeared to be out of sorts.
When Zillinger’s commission is over, I’ll pay for the things he realized today in exchange from Mr. “Hanging Man”…… I don’t know if he’s willing to do it…… Audrey thought with some anticipation and some concern. Audrey thought with some anticipation and some concern.
”The sun,” Derek replied honestly without feeling any wrong:
”We have built magnificent altars, carved with the symbols of the Lord, and whenever the ‘Blackface Grass’ gets a good harvest, we hold a sacrifice ceremony.”
”We would capture monsters from the depths of darkness as sacrifices, and when we had finished chanting the Lord’s honorable name and the corresponding prayer phrases, and danced to please k, we would kill those monsters and let their spirit or tainted blood stain the entire altar, and if we were unable to capture the monsters, then we would use the ‘sinners’ from the lowest level of the Silver City’s prison cells ‘ instead.”
”Then we made food from the first clump of blackface grass we harvested and consecrated it to the Lord.”
”And finally, in our unison song of praise, the ceremony ends.”
Since what I was going to attempt was a “sacrifice” to myself, the time was not picked, and the altar was kept simple …… The most important part of the process was to open the passageway and complete the sacrifice with the help of the spirits of the monsters or the blood that contained extraordinary power, assuming, of course, that it would be responded to? What a luxury …… Klein used the occult knowledge he had to analyze every step of the Silver City’s sacrificial ritual and said at the end:
”What are the corresponding prayer statements? What language did you recite them in?”
Derek, also expecting to get a hint from Mr. Fool to get rid of the curse, carefully recalled:
”We used the language of the giants, which is also our common language.”
”The corresponding prayer incantation is:”
”Thy faithful followers pray for Thy watchful eye;”
”Pray that You receive their offerings;”
”Pray that You open the gates of the kingdom.”
……
Klein listened in silence, deliberately letting the gray mist around him linger slowly, and nodded his head thoughtfully, saying nothing.
As for what he heard out, of course, will not tell ……
”Inverted man” Alger think this is very normal, how can the hidden secrets of the gods directly tell the mortals? “Derek “Sun”, on the other hand, made up his mind to grow up fast and try to get the things that Mr. Fool is interested in as soon as possible, so that he can get guidance from him.
After a few more exchanges, Klein ended the day and watched as Justice, the Hanged Man, and the Sun disappeared from sight.
As he looked down, he saw the endless gray fog and crimson stars that never seemed to change.
However, after being promoted to Sequence 8, he realized that he was able to connect to more stars, meaning that he was able to bring in more members.
At least two …… Klein nodded imperceptibly.
He wasn’t in a hurry to add more members, intending to wait and observe first, as he had done before, and if Justice and the Inverted Hanged Man had a recommendation, then he would test it first.
”I saw several times before, when ‘Sun’ prayed, there was a pure crystal ball in front of him, but after I pulled him above the gray mist, that crystal ball never appeared again……. Could it be that I pulled someone through the Crimson Star’s premise that the other person has a special item by his side? Or does each Crimson Star correspond to an item in the real world that returns to the Gray Mist after completing the connection?”
”I don’t know if this is also the case for Miss ‘Justice’ and Mr. ‘Inverted Hangman’ …… Assuming for the moment that this speculation is true, then, without this type of special items, if people who chant ‘Fools who do not belong to this age, the mysterious lord above the gray mist, the yellow and black king who reigns over good fortune’ make me hear the voice of supplication, will I be able to pull them into this place as well?”
”We can try in the future ……”
Without stopping, Klein wrapped himself in spirituality and simulated the sensation of plummeting downward, leaving only the looming palace, the ancient long table, and the twenty-two high-backed chairs standing quietly and unchangingly above the gray mist.
He had mastered the power of the Joker’s potion’s spillover and eliminated its negative effects, so he would now attempt the ritual of summoning himself!
I wonder what will come out of this …… Klein thought through his frantic ravings with anticipation and some trepidation.
