Part 5 The Red Priest Chapter 93 Hope

　　A bolt of lightning streaked across the deep, high sky, illuminating the entire Silver City, but it didn’t last long and soon faded away, leaving the world in darkness.

　　Derek Berg opened his eyes and instantly rolled out of bed and headed straight for the door.

　　As he walked, he slowed his pace, a look of embarrassment evident on his face.

　　How should I mention the matter of the Creator’s Relic to the Chief? Directly tell the Chief that I have my eye on an item? No, no, although according to Mr. “upside down man”, the chief has a tacit understanding of similar things, but I always feel that it should not be so direct …… Derek has always been a thin-skinned teenager, even when his parents were alive, he seldom reached out to ask for things.

　　He stopped where he was, carefully recalling the performance of Miss Justice, Mr. Inverted Man and other members of the Tarot Club who were good at conversation, hoping to find a reasonable statement by imitating them.

　　After half a day of simulation, Derek gritted his teeth and decided to be more direct.

　　He put on “Thor’s Roar”, opened the door to the room, entered the street, and traveled all the way to the Twin Towers in the north of the city.

　　Along the way, many Silver City residents came out of their homes with smiles on their faces, converging towards the training ground.

　　This was the “season” of the black-faced grass harvest, the “festival” of Silver City’s sacrifice to the Creator, and one of the few days of the year when the people who were struggling to survive in the darkness were happy from the bottom of their hearts.

　　Looking at the children who were still walking a little bit bouncy, and the adults who wore black-faced grass amulets and rings, listening to their discussions and the occasional singing, Derek’s mood gradually calmed down, and his footsteps became more and more determined.

　　He came to the Round Tower in the Twin Towers, and after being summoned, he met Colin Iliad, the chief of the Council of Six, in a room at the top of the tower.

　　This “demon hunter” is the same as usual, white hair is quite messy, sparsely cared for, the face of the decree lines are heavy, the remnants of some deep or twisted old scars, a pair of light blue eyes deep vicissitudes, as if it can understand the human heart.

　　Waiting for Derek to finish saluting, he nodded and said:

　　”How is your mastery of the ‘Priest of Light’ magic potion going?”

　　This was in reference to spiritual astringency and proficiency in the corresponding divine arts.

　　Derek replied matter-of-factly:

　　”Not quite there yet.”

　　”Well, there’s no need to rush, the other members of this questing squad aren’t ready yet, they still need some time, just like Lovia, in gathering and hunting for the materials for promotion.” Colin Iliad mentioned it as if he hadn’t thought about it.

　　Sure enough, Elder Lovia will also participate in this exploration of the “Giant’s Court”…… She is trying to open the door of the Demigods? Derek was stunned for two seconds and asked without hiding it:

　　”Elder Lovia has a follow-up magic potion formula?”

　　This was the question that had been troubling this “Shepherd” Elder, causing her to fail to become a Demigod for many years.

　　”Yes.” Colin replied in the affirmative, but did not give an explanation.

　　He turned to ask:

　　”What is your business this time?”

　　Derek listened with a slight anxiety in his heart and didn’t make a request, but still said rather directly:

　　”Your Chief Excellency, I have found a relic of the Creator that corresponds to Sequence 4 of the ‘Sun’ pathway, ‘The Darkless’.”

　　The tall, robust, linen-shirted Colin Iliad’s eyes stared, and a change in his eyes ensued.

　　It held emotions so complex and difficult to describe specifically that Derek froze in place, forgetting what he was going to say next.

　　In the unspeakable silence, Colin the Demon Hunter spoke in a slightly lower voice:

　　”Relic?”

　　Derek’s eyes narrowed as he realized he had accidentally said something terrible.

　　He had agonized for so long over the possibility that the Creator might have been partaken and fallen completely, never to return, that he had hallucinated that it was common knowledge.

　　Derek fell silent in the face of the Chief’s questions and glances, and for a moment was at a loss to explain.

　　He hesitated for several seconds before finally opening his mouth with difficulty:

　　”Yes, the relics.

　　”The kings have betrayed the Lord ……”

　　He subconsciously adopted the name that the acolyte from the afternoon town had used for the Angel Kings.

　　Colin looked at Derek, just like that, his light blue eyes seeming briefly unfocused.

　　The Demon Hunter didn’t speak for a long time, and it was nearly a minute before he spoke in a quiet tone:

　　”I see.”

　　His voice became unconsciously low, and he didn’t ask Derek where the Creator’s relics he had found were, what they looked like, or what they did exactly.

　　His eyes resumed their deep feeling, and without picking up where he left off, he turned to say:

　　”You have already become Sequence 5, and are qualified to know what Saint-level sealing objects are in Silver City, and when you are able to collect your spirituality well and have fully mastered the Divine Art, I will give you the appropriate information and lead you to the place where they are sealed.

　　”If you can be attuned to a certain Saint-level sealing object and reduce its negative effects, then you can reign over it.”

　　The fit here meant that Derek’s spirit was similar enough to the spirit imprints of the High Sequence powerhouses residing within the seal that it could reduce the terrible negative effects through some degree of deception.

　　–In Silver City, there is no shortage of commonly used extraordinary properties and materials, and everyone has mastered the playing method, the main thing that can hinder their promotion is that the rituals are difficult to fulfill the conditions, and there are times when the lack of magical potion formulas doesn’t prevent Sequence 8 from ascending to Sequence 7, and Sequence 7 from ascending to Sequence 6, as long as the previous time they were promoted in the right way by taking magical potions, and have been Thoroughly digested, then this time if you are willing to take a risk, it is possible to try to directly swallow the extraordinary characteristics of the promotion, the probability of success is not too low, while from sequence 6 to sequence 5, without the assistance of the ritual, the probability of success is very low.

　　Therefore, in Silver City, Sequence 6 exists in large numbers, and Sequence 5 is starting to become rare, and is a very valued class.

　　Why did the chief suddenly bring up this matter …… He means that he can use the picked holy level seal to exchange the relics of the Creator? I have not expressed this aspect of the meaning of ah …… Well, when the time comes to sacrifice the information to Mr. “Fool”, to see which one can please k …… Derek stayed for a few seconds, only to have some dawning realization. Zheng nodded his head:

　　”Yes, Mr. Chief.”

　　Without further ado, he excused himself and left for the Harvest Festival.

　　Colin “The Demon Hunter” watched his back disappear in the doorway before slowly pacing to the window and casting his gaze to the altar near the training grounds.

　　There were already many people gathered there, surrounding the Creator’s altar, either pleasing the gods with an ancient dance or unfurling their throats in praise of the Great Being.

　　They all wore visible smiles on their faces, and their eyes were filled with longing and anticipation, as if they could hold out for a few more years before the Creator would return and all suffering would end.

　　Such expectations have been crushed again and again over the last two or three thousand years, but have risen again and again, supporting the hearts and minds of the people against despair and depression.

　　Colin Iliad stood by the window, watching intently, attentively.

　　……

　　Birkeland, Birklund Street.

　　After returning to the real world from above the gray mist, Klein was in a rather heavy mood.

　　The page of Rossel’s diary allowed him to see the secret of the “audience”, and understood how dangerous it would be to continue to investigate the king’s affairs – even if he had the backing of the Church of the Night and the blessing of the goddess, it was not so safe.

　　The main thing is that the goddess is digesting the “uniqueness” of the “death” pathway, and for a long time will not be able to divine descent …… hope that the Lord of Storms and the God of Steam and Machinery will be able to respond to the critical moment in time! I hope that the Storm Lord and the God of Steam and Machinery will be able to cope with the situation in time. …… No matter what, with Ms. Arianna, Will Ansettin, and Palles Zoroaster, even if we face the King of Angels, it is not a certainty that we will die, and even if we do, we still have a chance to snatch my body back. …… The longer we hold on, the greater the hope that we will survive. The longer you hold on, the greater the hope of surviving …… Klein relieved the pressure by laughing at himself.

　　Before in the gray fog, he has thought of the next investigation focus, that is to track down the “White Virgin” Katrina and the current unknown sequence of several magical girl Tris is the main, Herwin Rambis side, as long as the other party does not take the initiative to contact the “justice” Ms., he As long as the other party does not take the initiative to contact Ms. Justice, he will try not to look for them, so as not to encounter accidents that can not be countered.

　　On the one hand, wait for the “judgment” lady to give back, on the other hand, try to find the “Disease Lieutenant General”, rely on the bloodline connection to lock the “White Virgin”, this may not be too big, the three big churches can certainly think of this way. The three major churches can definitely think of this method, and the Cult of the Witch will not be without a countermeasure……. Let Daniz try to collect items related to the “Disease Lieutenant General”, and I’ll rely on the Gray Mist Divination, which is able to shield against interference… …Well, by the way, let him ask Anderson’s situation, this is not urgent, “no dark cross” is undergoing experiments …… Klein retrieved his thoughts, turned over and got out of bed.

　　–He has used the gray mist of suppression to tie the “Darkness Cross” and the “broken finger” that magical item together, to see if the next time up there will be extraordinary properties analyzed.

　　After resting for a while at home, Klein changed his clothes and took his valet, Njoni, out of the house, ready to go to St. Samuel’s Church to pray, and then go to the “Rouen Charity Scholarship Fund” for a round.

　　This valet is not the “Winner”, but Jonas Korg, the real Njoni has been turned into flesh and blood with the ring of the “Blood Flower” and hidden in the stomach of the “Fallen Count”. The real Enyuni had already used the ring of the “Blood Flower” to turn into flesh and blood and hide it in the stomach of the “Fallen Count”.

　　At this time, the weather in Birkeland was seasonally dark, but the gas lamps on both sides of the road surrounded by iron grills had not yet been lit, and a few lights were sparsely lit in the houses on the left and right.

　　Crane watched all this without expression, and rode in his carriage from Birklund Street to Pacefield Street, where he first said his prayers at St. Samuel’s Church, and then, putting on his hat and cane, he walked to the Ruane Benevolent Scholarship Fund.

　　As he neared the door, he heard the sound of jingling bells, and watched Miss Audrey ride out of the side alley on a modified, rather elaborate bicycle without a crossbar.

　　She was dressed in a plain white dress, with a pair of black leather shoes, her blonde hair simply pulled back, her blue eyes looking earnestly at the road, and on the seat behind her crouched a large, golden-haired dog that managed to keep its balance no matter how much the bike swung.

　　Noticing the gentleman with graying sideburns and elegant temperament in front of her, Audrey’s mouth curled up slightly with a bright smile and greeted in a light tone:

　　”Good afternoon~ Mr. Dantes.”

　　”Good afternoon, Ms. Audrey, you seem to be in a good mood?” Klein watched as the other braked her bike and propped herself up on her feet.

　　Audrey pursed her lips and her smile brightened a little more:

　　”You’re quite right, I do seem to be in a good mood, and after a few laps of riding like this, I feel like my troubles have disappeared.”
