Chapter 93 Hope
A flash of lightning flashed across the deep sky, illuminating the entire Silver City, but it didn't last long, and soon disappeared, turning the world into darkness.
After Derrick Berg opened his eyes, he immediately got out of bed and went straight to the door.
As he walked, he slowed down, with a clearly embarrassed look on his face.
How should I mention the Creator's relic to the Chief? Tell the chief directly, I fancy an item? No, no, although according to Mr. "The Hanged Man", the chief has a tacit understanding on similar matters, but I always feel that it shouldn't be so direct... Derrick has always been a thin-skinned boy, even when his parents were alive , and rarely reach out for things.
He stopped at the same spot, seriously recalling the performances of Miss Justice, Mister Hanged Man and other members of the Tarot Society who are good at talking, hoping to find a reasonable argument by imitating them.
After simulating for a long time, Derrick gritted his teeth and decided to be more direct.
He mentioned "Thor's Roar", opened the door, entered the street, and walked all the way to the Twin Towers in the north of the city.
Along the way, many residents of the City of Silver came out of their homes, with smiles on their faces, and gathered in the direction of the training ground.
This period of time is the "season" for the harvest of black-faced grass, the "festival" for the City of Silver to worship the Creator, and one of the rare days of the year when people who are struggling to survive in the dark feel happy from the bottom of their hearts.
Looking at the children who were still bouncing around and the adults wearing black-faced grass amulets and rings, listening to their discussions and the occasional singing, Derrick's mood gradually calmed down, and his steps became more and more determined.
When he came to the round tower among the twin towers, he met Colin Iliad, the chief of the "six-member council" in a certain room on the top of the tower.
This "demon hunter" was the same as usual, with gray hair that was messy and neglected, heavy nasolabial folds on his face, some old scars that were deep or distorted, and a pair of light blue eyes that were deeply vicissitudes. It seems to be able to understand people's hearts.
After Derrick finished his salute, he nodded and said:
"How is your 'Priest of Light' potion mastered?"
This refers to the spiritual convergence and the proficiency of the corresponding divine arts.
Derrick replied frankly:
"Not so far."
"Um,
Don't worry, the other members of the exploration team are not ready yet, they still need a certain amount of time, just like Lovia, collecting and looking for materials for promotion. "Colin Iliad said casually.
Sure enough, Elder Lovia will also participate in this exploration of the "Royal Court of Giants"... Is she trying to open the door of the demigod? Derrick was stunned for two seconds, and asked without concealment:
"Elder Lovia has a follow-up potion formula?"
This is the question that has plagued the "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 asked instead:
"What's the matter with you this time?"
Derrick felt a little anxious when he heard it, so he didn't make a request, but he still said quite directly:
"Your Excellency, I found a relic of the Creator, which corresponds to Sequence 4 'No Dark One' of the 'Sun' pathway."
The tall and strong Colin Iliad, who was wearing a linen shirt, stared at him, and his eyes changed accordingly.
It contained very complicated and difficult to describe emotions, so that Derrick froze in place, forgetting what to say next.
In the unspeakable silence, "Demon Hunter" Colin spoke in a slightly low voice:
"Relic?"
Derrick's eyes narrowed, only then did he realize that he had accidentally said something extraordinary.
He has suffered for a long time for the fact that the Creator may have been eaten, completely fallen, and will never come back, so that he has the illusion of common sense.
Facing the chief's question and gaze, Derrick fell silent, not knowing how to explain it for a moment.
He hesitated for several seconds, and finally opened his mouth with difficulty:
"Yes, Relic.
"The kings rebelled against the Lord..."
He subconsciously adopted the title that the clergyman in afternoon town used to call the kings of angels.
Colin looked at Derrick, just looked at Derrick like that, his light blue eyes seemed to lose focus for a while.
This "demon hunter" didn't speak for a long time, and it took nearly a minute before he spoke calmly:
"I see."
His voice became a little low unconsciously, and he didn't ask Derrick where the Creator's relic was found, what it looked like, and what function it had.
His eyes regained the deep feeling, and instead of continuing the topic just now, he said:
"You have become a Sequence 5, and you are qualified to learn about the holy-level sealed items in the City of Silver. When you can restrain your spirituality well and fully master the divine arts, I will give you the corresponding information and lead you to seal them their place.
"If you can fit with a certain holy-level sealed item and reduce its negative effects, then you can control it."
The fit here refers to the fact that Derrick's spirit is similar enough to the high-sequence powerhouse spirit imprint left in the sealed item, and can reduce the terrible negative effects through a certain degree of deception.
——In the City of Silver, there is no shortage of commonly used Extraordinary characteristics and materials, and everyone has mastered the acting method. The main thing that can hinder their promotion is that the ceremony is difficult to meet the conditions. Sometimes, there is no potion formula, and the sequence is not hindered. 8 to Sequence 7, Sequence 7 to Sequence 6, as long as the previous promotion was done in the correct way by taking potions, and it has been completely digested, then if you are willing to take risks this time, you can try to directly swallow Extraordinary characteristics for promotion, and it will be successful The probability is not too low, and from Sequence 6 to Sequence 5, without the assistance of rituals, the probability of success is very low.
Therefore, in the City of Silver, a large number of Sequence 6s existed, and Sequence 5s began to become rare. It was a class that received great attention.
Why did the chief suddenly bring up this matter... He meant that the selected holy-level sealed item can be exchanged for the creator's relic? I haven't expressed my intentions in this regard... Well, when the time comes, I will sacrifice the information to Mr. Fool first, and see which one can please him... Derrick paused for a few seconds before realizing something, and nodded solemnly :
"Yes, Your Excellency the Chief."
He didn't say anything more, took his leave and left, preparing to go to the Harvest Festival.
"Demon Hunter" Colin watched his back disappear through the door, walked slowly to the window, and cast his eyes on the altar near the training ground.
Many people have already gathered there, they surround the altar of the Creator, or use ancient dances to please the gods, or open their throats, singing the great existence.
They all had obvious smiles on their faces, and their eyes were full of longing and anticipation. It seemed that if they persisted for a few more years, the Creator would return and all suffering would end.
Such expectations have been shattered again and again in the past two or three thousand years, but they have risen again and again, supporting people's hearts and fighting against despair and depression.
Colin Iliad stood by the window, watching intently, seriously.

Backlund, Berklund Street.
After returning to the real world from above the gray fog, Klein felt a little heavy.
The page of Emperor Roselle's diary gave him a glimpse of the secrets of the "audience", and he understood how dangerous it would be to continue investigating the king's affairs - even with the backing of the Church of Evernight and the blessing of the goddess, it was not so safe.
The main reason is that the goddess is digesting the "uniqueness" of the "Reaper" approach, and she has not been able to descend for a long time... I hope the Lord of Storms and the God of Steam and Machinery can respond in time at critical moments... Anyway, there are Ms. Arianna, with Will Auceptin and Pallez Zoroast, even if they face the King of Angels, it is not a certain death. Even if they die, they still have a chance to take back my As for the corpse... The longer you persist, the greater your chance of surviving... Klein relieved the downforce with a self-deprecating way.
Above the gray fog before, he had already thought about the focus of the next investigation, which was to focus on tracking down the "Saint of White" Katerina and the currently unknown witch Triss, Herben Rambis Over there, as long as the other party doesn't take the initiative to contact Miss "Justice", he will try not to look for it, so as not to encounter unexpected accidents that he cannot contend with.
On the one hand, wait for the feedback from Miss "Judgment", on the other hand, try to find "Vice Admiral of Disease" and rely on blood connections to lock "White Saintess". The sect will not be unresponsive... Let Danitz try to collect related items of "Vice Admiral Disease", I will rely on the gray mist that can block interference for divination... Well, by the way, let him ask about Anderson's situation, there is no rush , "Darkless Cross" is undergoing experiments... Klein withdrew his thoughts and got out of bed.
——He has used the suppression of the gray fog to bind the magical item "Darkless Cross" and "Severed Finger" together, and see if there will be extraordinary characteristics precipitated next time.
After resting at home for a while, Klein changed his clothes and went out with his valet Enuni, preparing to go to Saint Samuel Church to pray, and then to the "Luen Charity and Student Fund".
This valet was actually not the "winner", but Qonas Kilgor. The real Enuni had already used the "Blood Flower" ring to turn into flesh and hide it in the stomach of the "Fallen Earl".
At this time, the weather in Backlund was seasonally gloomy, and the gas lamps surrounded by iron grids on both sides of the road had not yet been lit, and a few lights were sparsely lit in the houses on the left and right.
Klein watched all this with a blank expression. He took a carriage from Berklund Street to Paisfield Street, and prayed in St. Samuel Church first. Charity Scholarship Fund".
As he approached the door, he heard the sound of jingling bells, and watched Miss Audrey riding a modified, rather delicate bicycle without a crossbar, coming out of the side alley.
She was wearing a plain white dress, a pair of black leather shoes, her blond hair was simply pulled back, and her green eyes were looking at the road seriously. On the seat behind her was a big golden retriever dog that could keep her balance no matter how the bicycle swayed.
Noticing the elegant gentleman with white temples in front of him, Audrey raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a clear smile, and greeted him briskly:
"Good afternoon~ Mr. Dantès."
"Good afternoon, Miss Audrey, you seem to be in a good mood?" Klein watched the other party brake the bicycle and propped himself up with his feet.
Audrey pursed her lips, her smile became brighter again:
"You're right. I'm really in a good mood. After riding for a few laps like this, I feel that all my troubles have disappeared."
PS: The double is here, please ask for a monthly pass~ There will be another change in the evening.
PS2: I recommend a new book about spy wars in the Republic of China, "The Spy". He used his identity to hunt down Japanese spies, help underground organizations, and compose a passionate legend of Chinese men in this age of gunpowder!
