Chapter 473 Shocking Secret

759

Da da da.

Klein followed Colin Iliad down the stairs and quickly entered the bottom of the round tower, approaching the sealed objects collected in Silver City.

There are plenty of extraordinary materials in the Land Abandoned by the Gods, but the environment is harsh, dangers are frequent, and there are very few extraordinarys, so there should be more sealed objects... This idea flashed through Klein's mind, feeling like a joke from hell. After carefully questioning the chief, he learned that the number of mid-to-high-sequence sealed objects collected in Silver City—that is, level 2 and level 1 sealed items—was really quite large, and even a dozen of them could be found at level 1.

"These are the legacy of the former elders and chiefs."

Klein nodded slightly. He could tell that more than half of the sealed objects here corresponded to the warrior path.

He carefully observed these sealed objects and found that most of them were kept in a relatively "safe" state and would not have sudden negative effects, and they could also be quickly made into potions when needed.

As for the spiritual imprint in it...that's not a problem here. Silver City is burdened with the curse of incest. Under the intentional arrangements of the six-person council, residents in Silver City can almost guarantee a blood relationship of about three generations, ensuring that there will be no injury or death, or the situation of being unable to move without relatives taking action. Of course, if this situation really occurs, people can only be ruthless and move the injured out of Silver City.

In other words, we are all relatives, and we all have certain similarities with the spiritual imprints in extraordinary items. After generations of stacking, they will become more stable when turned into potions, reducing the chance of losing control.

But this is definitely not a good thing.

Colin Iliad walked quietly ahead, holding a torch, lighting tallow candles on the walls along the way.

Although darkness is no longer dangerous, people still maintain the habit of setting up light sources around themselves. He led Klein into the bottom of the round tower and said in a calm voice: "As you can see, Silver City mainly focuses on the warrior path. We do not have the luck and gifts like Moon City. We had the formulas for all paths a thousand years ago. And rituals, even if part is missing, there are still other promotion paths available.”

The two cities had some exchanges before. The high priest and the council exchanged letters. This was also the instruction of him, the "fool".

"The sealed objects corresponding to Sequence 4 left by the previous elders and chiefs will often be inherited by the next one."

When Colin said this, he suddenly paused for two seconds, and then said again: "It is rare that the two pathways are different. However, it was verified by Derrick Berg that my previous chief accidentally obtained an adjacent pathway. I built the mausoleum using the Sequence 3 formula of 'The God of Death', but unfortunately failed to be promoted in the mausoleum, and I did not inherit his extraordinary characteristics."

"Derrick provided us with a guess, and subsequent investigation found that his guess was completely correct. The spell he provided came in handy at the most critical moment, allowing Silver City to escape a disaster."

Klein nodded.

What turned things around was the "Luck Stealer's Charm", a life-saving tool given to Derrick by The Fool and given to Colin by Derrick. As one of the onlookers at the time, Klein remembered everything clearly. Colin felt that Gehrman Sparrow was the divine envoy, and Derrick's choice at that time was very correct, so he praised him in front of the divine envoy.

"Derrick is brilliant."

"Yes, he's very smart and very observant."

Adult communication is really complicated... Klein responded calmly, and sighed in his heart. Little "Sun" probably prefers the chief and himself to praise him directly, rather than these roundabout ways.

Soon, Klein arrived at the underground sealing room.

All major forces like to place these dangerous things several meters or even tens of meters below to prevent them from getting out of control and causing disasters.

Klein looked at them one by one under the leadership of Colin. He didn't want anything that was too dangerous and uncontrollable, or that required sacrifice before using it. However, among them, he felt that the negative effects could be exploited and he touched them closely to confirm that he could use them. Summon them from historical projections when necessary.

Anyway, he doesn't have a marionette right now, so he doesn't have a quota.

Klein regretted that the concave shape outside the Moon City was too concave, and because he was afraid of Amon, he did not go directly to the bottom of the Moon City to take a look at the sealed objects there - but he only regretted it in his mind and ended it. If you really go in, you probably won't be able to get out again.

"Can I see your god-level sealed artifact?"

Wandering in the dimly lit underground, Klein asked casually.

Derrick once mentioned that there are two god-level sealed objects in Silver City, which are level 0 in the outside world. One of them is called "Crown of Glory". According to the official information disclosed by Silver City, it is the crown once worn by the Giant King Ormir, while the other one has no information.

The background of the first one was so big that Klein couldn't help but be curious about the information about the other one. However, he couldn't find any information on the surface. Could it be like 0-08, with "You know it, and it also knows it." "This special and terrifying characteristic of you"? But that is unique to the "spectator" high-sequence sealed objects, and it doesn't look like it will be used by Silver City.

"I have the extraordinary ability to gain power from history, so I want to take a look at those two god-level sealed artifacts. It might be helpful."

Klein explained it again, saying that he had no ill intentions.

As he spoke, he also took out the "Cane of Life", an item temporarily lent by Silver City, from the historical projection to dispel Colin's suspicion.

The chief was speechless and narrowed his eyes slightly.

After a second or two, Colin withdrew his gaze, looked at the dark front and said: "There are two god-level sealed objects in Silver City, one of which is called the 'Crown of Glory', which has various abilities such as breaking lies, disguises, and examining the soul. Corresponds to the warrior path, but the specific sequence is not clear.”

"What about the second one?" Klein asked.

Colin did not speak, but instead began to look at the divine envoy with an inquiring look. Klein immediately realized through his eyes that the origin of this sealed object was probably bigger, bigger than the Giant King's crown, or it might involve something. Ancient secrets may attract the attention of some outside entities and bring unpredictable dangers to Silver City and yourself.

The chief must be thinking about whether to tell himself this secret... Hiss, this must be Silver City's last trump card, right? They didn't use it when Amon attacked, but now they have to...

Klein didn't speak. He looked at Colin without blinking.

After a moment, a minute or two of silence, Colin seemed to have made a decision. He took a deep look at Klein again and said slowly:

"Your Majesty the Envoy of God, if this is the instruction of the gods, I will tell you a secret thing. At present, I am the only one who knows about it in the entire Silver City."

...Did he take my casual words as a hint from "The Fool"? Klein is a little confused. He thinks that the god he plays, "The Fool", has always been a clean and upright person. At least he will not let his envoys seize the believers' sealed items just because this sealed item is very powerful. Nor will he. Hand you over to possible enemies... But he didn't know what to say, so he had to wait quietly for the next step.

Having said this, Colin Iliad raised his head and glanced at Gehrman Sparrow. His face, which showed obvious fatigue, had a layer of solemnity and a hint of bitterness. It was not as fake as an impromptu performance at all:

"That secret is related to our second god-level sealed artifact in Silver City."

“It’s called ‘Gift of the Earth’.”

"The gift of the earth..." Klein heard the name, "This should be an item belonging to the 'cultivator' path, just like Frank who gave you mushrooms and other food."

"That's what we also guessed."

The chief nodded: "That's why we respectfully call him 'Feng Fu'."

Klein nodded thoughtfully: "Sure enough, it's because there is a 'Harvest Goddess' in the giant myth spread in Silver City."

These two words have similar pronunciations in the giant language, perhaps because they were both used to describe the giant queen.

Colin Iliad sighed and continued:

"Yes."

"It is precisely because of it that black-faced grass can grow in the area around Silver City, which prevented us from completely sinking into the deep dark age..."

Klein's pupils suddenly dilated slightly:

"Is the black-faced grass derived from this sealed artifact?"

He remembered clearly that the discovery of black-faced grass was regarded as a key turning point in the history of Silver City in the general textbook. He believed that without this safe and harmless staple food, Silver City might have turned into a paradise for monsters.

Silver City's congenital conditions are not as good as Moon City's, and its population and overall strength are also not as good as Moon City's. If there is no safe food, they will really drown in the dark world early.

At this moment, Klein thought of many things.

Finally, he understood why the mushrooms he gave him had mutated in Silver City. The growth cycle was shortened, the effects were enhanced, and they even became larger. This was different from the original product description Frank gave him.

So, your curse is actually...

After a brief silence, Colin Iliad's eyes swept across his face, and his voice suddenly became deeper:

"You are right. It is precisely because of it that we bear the fate of being cursed. Only those who are killed by immediate family members will not become terrible evil spirits."

“The ‘abundance’ we gain comes at a price.”

At this point, Colin's tone changed slightly, and he sincerely thanked Mr. Fool and Frank Lee for sending the mushrooms:

“So, after seeing Mr. Frank’s work, we knew what true abundance should look like.”

Colin Iliad, who had gray hair and a tired expression, had a dazed look in his eyes, and seemed to think of his father, mother, brother, sister, eldest son, youngest son, daughter and eldest grandson who were killed by his own hands.

Klein's expression suddenly froze.

His voice became erratic:

"Lovia once said that after leaving the Silver City, a war dead did not transform into an evil spirit. I didn't tell her that this was the truth at the time, because the 'gift of the earth' covers a wide area, and most of them will die. The person cannot leave the corresponding area in time."

"This is a secret that every chief can master. I work hard to explore and fight, just in the hope that people in the future will not have to endure this pain."

"Wait a moment, Mr. Chief."

Klein suddenly thought of something. The word "abundance" was like a clue, connecting something between Chief Colin's words. These chaotic and fuzzy thoughts were swirling back and forth in his mind. Suddenly, he As if he had caught a flash of inspiration, his voice rose unnaturally:

"Why do you call the 'gift of the earth' 'fertility'? Does this item have anything to do with the 'harvest goddess'?"

The chief of Silver City, who looked obviously old, exhaled slowly and showed a tired smile to Klein:

"You found out."

Klein's breathing became faster unconsciously, and the secret that Silver City avoided was about to be revealed in front of him.

Colin Iliad added in a deep voice:

"Yes, because Omi Bella has died a long time ago, and his corpse is in Silver City, which is the 'gift of the earth'..."

His words seemed to have been brewing for a long time, and he finally said them:

"As early as when Derrick revealed the names of the gods in the outside world, I was curious about who the 'Earth Mother Goddess' who had formed an alliance with the 'God of War' was. Because the 'God of War' seemed to be the eldest son of the Giant King, and Silver City has records related to Omi Bella's death, but there is no record of the successors who inherited this path and became gods..."

Who killed the Giant Queen?

…

And who became the true god of the ‘earth’ path?

I didn't expect that I could eat such a shocking thing after watching the original version of Lord of Mysteries (Youth Edition). The two old people were now lost in thought together.

The Demon of Knowledge slowly grabbed another handful of melon seeds. When he was still in the Western Continent, he liked to eat melon seeds while thinking about problems. He vaguely remembered that this should be the little one left to him by the 145th person who died as a martyr. Small preference. He stuffed the shells into his mouth without tasting anything. A torrent of data flashed through his eyes, extracting information from ancient secrets.

But no matter how he calculated it, the conclusion reached was the general consensus among the current high-level extraordinary knowledge:

The Earth Mother Goddess is Omibella, the giant queen who was successfully promoted.

There is no such thing in the spirit world, the data is wrong... No matches were found in the currently circulating myths and legends... Maybe you have to ask Qi Guang.

The persons of the Seven Lights in the spiritual world are similar to the true angel gods, but they are much more useful than the normal true angel gods. In addition, they are symbiotic with the era, and they must know a lot of secret information - but they are not powerful, and they are still vassals of the spirit world, and they will conceal the information for various reasons.

Edward thought for a while and suddenly said in a questioning tone:

"secret?"

The Demon of Knowledge didn't know much about the Night Goddess and the secret authority, but after quickly grabbing the information, he nodded immediately: "Yes, if there is no secret, this matter will be difficult to accomplish. Thinking about it this way, the Sun God should have just wanted to He hid the evidence of the Giant Queen's death among his followers, but he didn't expect that the cataclysm would completely bury the truth... Huh?"

Seeing the sudden change in the Demon of Knowledge's expression, Edward blinked:

"I haven't thought about this level yet, but what you said makes sense - but, you know, there was a 'Redemption Rose' before the Cataclysm. If Omi Bella was already dead at that time, participating in this banquet Who is it? Why does He keep hinting to others as Omi Bella? Even his own son, the God of War, is convinced that this is his biological mother."

"I am not sure."

The Demon of Knowledge touched his stubble-free chin and thought like a literati from the Western Continent:

"But the acting method spread here is probably also used by these gods to 'maintain human nature', right?"

"Either the God of War knew about it and just acquiesced. After all, there is a natural alliance between mother and son. His close relationship with the Mother Goddess of the Earth makes it easier to intimidate other gods. But if he knew about it, he would not avenge his mother or feel sorry for his mother's death. , instead of using it, the image of deep love between mother and son that he played should make him confused in his self-perception and even lose control."

"But now the God of War is in full swing, and there are no signs of losing control."

"That is to say, the God of War doesn't know about it." Edward analyzed it logically, and then suddenly laughed out loud, "You don't know about it, but you can continue to play the role of mother and son - oh, to be honest, only the belief in the God of War is allowed in Feysac. Even our ally Earth Mother will be arrested and thrown into the Inquisition when she comes, which shows that the love between mother and child and allies are not as good as the benefits, and the feeling is not as good as the night and thunder."

The Demon of Knowledge nodded slightly.

"But who is the powerful Mother Earth Goddess now?"

"A man who quietly united with the hidden daughter from the end of the Third Age to kill the queen, and then quietly replaced him... This person is quite terrifying, and neither his scheming nor the city can be underestimated... He did it because he didn't want to make enemies. Disguised as the Giant Queen?"

He felt that this guess was quite correct. He grabbed another handful of melon seeds and stuffed them into his mouth. He turned around and asked:

"Who do you think that could be?"

"I am not sure."

Edward said: "However, the Church of the Mother Earth has always recruited vampires to serve as priests."

"Tell me, is it because the person occupying this identity is a vampire, or is he playing the role of Lilith, the ancestor of the vampire clan?"

"Is it possible that that is...?"

"Unlikely." Edward frowned, "Didn't he die long ago? He died before the Sun God showed off his power."

"But there seems to be no clear record." The Demon of Knowledge was also a little dubious, "Could it be that he really negotiated terms with the Hidden Daughter and quietly made Li Daitao freeze? But how did he deceive the eyes of the Sun God?"

I couldn't stand it anymore. After two months of fighting, there were still mosquitoes in my house. They were chasing me everywhere, so I hid under the mosquito net and coded on my phone.
