Part 2 The Faceless Man Chapter 129: “Old Fashioned” Alger
Advice? My advice is to hide as far away as possible, to stabilize the main …… Hearing the “sun” question, Klein first time in his heart to give an answer.
However, in order to maintain the image of the “Fool” and to see what other people would suggest, he kept silent and did not manipulate the “world” to speak.
After a brief moment of silence, Alger the Inverted looked sideways at the Sun and said in a low, calm voice:
”You have provided so little information that it is difficult for us to give a useful opinion.”
”We are not aware of what exists inside that half-destroyed temple other than the peculiar statue of the ‘True Creator’, also known as the ‘Fallen Creator’, and naturally we have no way to analyze the situation accordingly. ”
The “Fallen Creator” is indeed the “Real Creator”… …… There is even a “Real Creator” in Silver City, where the “Sun” lives! “The Sun” lives in Silver City, but there is also a belief in the “True Creator”, and even built a temple …… “Magician” Forsyth is listening to the side of the audience, almost take a notebook to write down, “Justice” Ogilvy is the “True Creator”, but the “True Creator” is the “True Creator”. “Audrey “Justice” was looking forward to the Sun’s description of the strange temple.
Derek nodded, his eyes looking up slightly for a few seconds:
”In addition to the idols, there were quite a few crumbling murals there, hovering with terrifying evil spirits, however, this has already been gotten rid of by a questing party led by two elders of the Council of Six ……”
”Those murals, which I have not seen with my own eyes, are said to record prophecies of the coming doom and the salvation of believers by the ‘Fallen Creator’, as well as the corresponding bloody sacrificial rituals ……”
”In the corner of one of the murals, there are peculiar words derived from the Giant’s language, and after a general deciphering, several of the elders believe they mean:”
”Redemption Rose.”
”This may have been the code name of the creator of the mural in the first place, or it may have been the name of the organization that built that temple and the city-state in which it is located.”
”According to the Chief’s judgment, these murals are at least a thousand years old.”
”I mean a thousand years in your perception, er, but I’m not completely sure, in Silver City, we, we use the stage when there is much and frequent lightning as day, and when it’s less and soothing as night, and a cycle as a day, and the four seasons only exist in books, so we can’t grasp the exact number of days, only the Chief can confirm it.”
”The sun,” said Voorhees, practically doubting he was listening to a story.
How could a city with no sun, no red moon, no difference between day and night, and no change of seasons sound unreal! Only a fairy tale and only a novel would dare to portray it like that!
Moreover, the author must have smoked marijuana and be in a state of mental convulsions and seizures to create such a city……. Forsyth’s first thought after being surprised and stunned was that I would write a novel based on Silver City!
But she quickly gave up on that plan, because she wasn’t sure what Silver City really meant, didn’t know if it was part of the secret that the seven churches kept together, and was afraid that as soon as the book was published, the author herself would be visited by the Night Watchers in lieu of the Punishers and they would come to her door to collect the copper pennies that had settled in the gas meter.
So this is what the environment of Silver City looks like, well, there are monsters in the depths of the darkness that “the sun” is always mentioning …… Unfortunately, I still only have sequence 8, otherwise I would really like to ask Mr. “Fool” to send me there to do an adventure. I’d like to ask Mr. Fool to send me there for an adventure. No, no, no, Audrey, you’re not a naive girl anymore. You should realize how dangerous it is. …… “Justice” Audrey sometimes let her thoughts fly, and sometimes self-criticism.
At least a thousand years? The Aurora Council hasn’t been around for more than 300 years, maybe even less than 200, and they didn’t build it. …… Well, maybe the belief in a “true Creator” was around in the early Fifth Age, or even the Fourth Age, but the organization that was serving the K’s wasn’t. The Aurora Society …… In the following one or two thousand years, under the extreme suppression of the seven churches, the followers of the “Real Creator” repeatedly fell into crises, the sects were destroyed over and over again, and ultimately resurfaced in order to the Aurora Society? Kraven, who had a suspicion, left his sitting position and state unchanged.
”The sun,” Derek continued after a two-second pause:
”The ruins of the city-state and that half-destroyed temple have been preliminarily cleared of the horrible monsters, and our mission this time is to explore the underground portion of the temple.”
”Do you guys have any suggestions? With your knowledge of the ‘Fallen Creator’, what should I look out for?”
”My advice?” “The Inverted Hangman,” Alger said with little hesitation, “My advice is to never go!”
”‘Fallen Creator’ is a true evil god, k’s temple, even if it has been destroyed, it is likely that it still harbors dangers that make it difficult for people to perceive as unusually bizarre, if the ones leading the team this time are the other Elders of the Council of Six, it is not impossible for you to go, it is just that the risk is very high, but you just said that the person in charge of this matter is ‘Shepherd’ Lovia, and the ‘True Creator’ is the deity at the top of this extraordinary pathway! Therefore, it’s absolutely impossible to go.” Alger added in explanation.
Your advice is the same as mine, but such advice doesn’t need the ‘sun’ to describe the situation of that half-destroyed temple at all, the conclusion can be drawn from the conditions given at the very beginning …… I see, ‘Inverted Hanging Man’ Mr. “Hanging Man”, you did it on purpose, so you didn’t have to pay anything to get a general idea of the condition of the half-destroyed temple …… It’s like bullying a child …… The “Fool” who sits at the top of the table “Fool” Kline leisurely reached out and put his hand on his forehead.
”The Sun” was silent for a few seconds, and said with difficulty:
”But the mission has to be accepted.”
”The Inverted Man” laughed lowly:
”Nothing is mandatory.”
”Will you still participate in patrols before this quest? Find an opportunity to intentionally let the monsters injure themselves, and you can refer to Silver City’s past instances for the exact scale.”
This instant, “Justice” Audrey read a message from “Sun”‘s eyes and movements:
”That’s okay?”
After a brief moment of surprise and confusion, Derek frowned slightly:
”But, I don’t have any patrol duty lately ……”
”Inverted hangman,” Alger chortled:
”You could pretend you’re close to being out of control, no, to be precise, make yourself close to being out of control, in which case I’m sure the higher-ups in Silver City wouldn’t take a ‘dangerous object’ that could explode at any moment on a quest, would they?”
”Here’s the trick, all you have to do is keep your spirituality in a more dry state for two days in a row at all times, and you’ll be able to hallucinate and show signs of loss of control, whereas if you don’t continue to press after that, things will get better within a week without actually going out of control.”
”Of course, your Silver City must have ways and measures to save those with out-of-control precursors, and the recovery should be faster, so you should estimate the time, preferably starting two or three days before departure.”
”Sun,” Derek muttered after listening to this for a long time:
”Yes, those who show precursors of loss of control will be controlled, will be isolated in the underground of the round tower, and will be treated with medicines, rituals and magical items, and if the situation is mild, only potions will be taken ……”
Oops, a good, honest boy just got poisoned by an old greaseball …… But Mr. “Inverted Man”, why do you know the technique to get yourself close to losing control? If this kind of technique is used often, the loss of control may really come …… Klein secretly sighed in his heart.
”Justice” Audrey is also listening to the dumbfounded, feel that they have learned a good lesson again.
Seeing the “sun” is still a little hesitant, seemingly do not want to deceive the elders of Silver City, “inverted man” Alger low slowly asked:
”Do the other elders of the Council of Six know that the ‘Fallen Creator’ holds the ‘Shepherd’ Pathway?”
”No.” “Sun,” Derek shook his head honestly.
Alger asked again:
”Do you think it is possible that Elder ‘Shepherd’ Lovia could be a danger to Silver City? Just answer yes or no without explanation.”
”…… Yes.” Derek was ultimately unable to deceive himself.
Alger laughed softly and said:
”So, you’re the only one who knows about this matter but can’t find a way to alert the other elders of the Council of Six for the time being, right?”
”Hmm.” Derek’s expression gradually became grave.
Alger changed his sitting position and leaned back slightly and said:
”That mission was extremely risky, this, you know, if you died in that half-destroyed temple, who else would be able to find a way to expose the eccentricities of ‘Shepherd’ Lovia? Who else could have saved Silver City from disaster? The ‘Fallen Creator’ is a truly evil god!”
”You’re not pretending to be out of control and deceiving others because you’re selfish, you’re doing it to save Silver City!”
”Who is more important, your honor or it?”
”The sun,” Derek gritted his teeth and nodded solemnly:
”I understand!”
”Thank you, Mr. ‘Inverted Hangman’.”
”Justice” Audrey and “Magician” Foerth both had the urge to cover their faces with their hands at once.
What a good kid to fool …… But it’s good to avoid the Tarot Club losing members in the near future …… Klein sighed silently and maneuvered his way through the “world”:
”I have a question for Mr. ‘Sun’.”
”This may involve a transaction.”
”I request a private exchange.”
Klein was busy switching back to himself and nodded indifferently:
”May be.”
When the “Magician” and the others were blocked, the “World” looked at the “Sun” and said:
”Does Silver City have a way to remove the spiritual contamination of the Evil God in the Extraordinary Characteristics?”
This was something Klein had wanted to ask a few times before, but considering that Justice and the others might also be interested, and in the case that Sun couldn’t answer and it involved the Evil God, all eyes would be directed to the god-like Mr. Fool, who was the only person who could answer the question. Mr. “Fool,” he resisted the impulse until he received a revelation from Ms. “Justice” that the idea of a separate exchange was a good idea.
”We have not encountered an evil god.” “The sun,” Derek replied sincerely, “is the only way we can separate the mental contamination of those who are out of control in the Extraordinary Characteristics.”
That’s it! This might work, after all, I have the Gray Mist …… Klein held back his joy and let the World speak:
”What payment do you need?”
”It’s not a matter of payment.” “Sun” shook his head, “That method and the corresponding knowledge must be at least the patrol captain, or even the exploration team captain this level of strong people to qualify for access, the former need sequence 7, the latter minimum requirement sequence 6.”
Hoo…… Klein sighed and let the “world” hiss:
”I hope you’ll have the qualifications as soon as possible.”
