Mystery: Those years when I was a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

Chapter 193 Thoughts on the City of Silver

460
Derrick's eyes widened, he was a little surprised, but not flustered.

The flesh and blood magic of the "Secret Practitioner" has always been scary, but in the City of Silver, as long as it can save its life and improve its strength, it will be useful.Derrick, who is also considered experienced in many battles, is not afraid of flesh and blood, but is surprised by the meaning of these words——

I have no ill intentions?
who is thisIt doesn't seem to be Elder Lovia's idea. Could it be that someone is using Elder Lovia to send a message to the chief?
So special, is this method unique to the "Secret Prayer" path?

Just such a sentence is really strange. If it is a person in the City of Silver, there is no need to make a fuss, just report to the six-member council.Since this person didn't do this, it proves that he is temporarily unable to communicate face-to-face with the chief, that is to say...

Derrick was shocked.

This might be someone from outside the City of Silver delivering the news!
If my guess is correct, this is the first time the City of Silver has seen outsiders in thousands of years!
Are there any other cities left in the Land Abandoned by God?

All kinds of speculation made his blood boil, he looked away from the squirming flesh and blood, looked up at Elder Lovia who was opposite, and saw that the other party was also looking at him without blinking.

Derrick wanted to lower his head at first, but then felt blessed in his heart, and felt that the current situation seemed a little delicate.

——I don't need to feel guilty! "Sun" cheered himself up in his heart: Mr. "Fool" is not the enemy of the Lord, the Chief and Elder Lovia may not know that the Lord is gradually trying to get rid of madness, but I have already received the confession of the gods... But I also Can't tell them this matter directly, alas, is this the way grown-ups speak?It's really troublesome not being able to speak directly... Maybe we can find an opportunity to hint at this matter with an outsider this time.

So Derrick held his head high and looked straight into Lovia's eyes with piercing eyes.

Lovia looked at him suspiciously, staggered her gaze, and looked at Colin Iliad:
"Chief, do you know the source of this information?"

At the same time, she glanced in Derrick's direction again, as if asking why he was still standing here.

Colin shook his head slightly, did not let Derrick leave, but spoke calmly and slowly in front of the two:

"Perhaps you have already guessed."

"An outsider came near the City of Silver, eager to negotiate with us."

Even though Derrick had already learned a lot of knowledge about interpersonal communication and self-concealment in the Tarot Club, he still had a dreamlike feeling after hearing the chief seal himself.

Lovia was also stunned, and asked in an erratic tone: "Really...?"

"How many are they here?"

"There is only one. Judging from the appearance, it is a male human of the same giant blood as us."

"There is only one..." Lovia said to herself, her eyes lit up, and she was not disappointed. "Which city-state is he from? How far is it from the City of Silver?"

"He claimed to be from the Emerald City, and he is now waiting 500 meters outside the watchtower in the southeast of the City of Silver."

500 meters away... 500 meters away from the City of Silver, using the special communication method of "Secret Prayer" together with Elder Lovia, and asked her to convey the news on her behalf?Derrick immediately thought of one thing - the visitor might be a "Secret Prayer" stronger than Elder Lovia, most likely a sequence under "Black Knight". If the negotiation is proper, the City of Silver may be able to make up for it. Complete the potion formula of "Secret Prayer" Sequence 3!
The City of Silver has never had a sequence 3 formula, and every demigod is stuck in this sequence, unable to go any further.
Visitors from outsiders, information from other cities, and the potion formula of the demigod sequence, three important things happened at the same time!

Could this be the good luck given to the City of Silver by the "Angel of Destiny"?Is this a sign that Silver City is about to usher in salvation?

Derrick clenched his fists excitedly. In front of the two elders, he, a newly promoted Extraordinary team leader, had no right to speak, so he could only prick up his ears and show his eyes seeking knowledge, expecting the two elders to say more.

"Emerald City?" Lovia, who focused on becoming stronger and upgrading the sequence, had limited understanding of the geography and ancient mythology of the Land Abandoned by God, and showed a puzzled expression to the chief, "Is there this city in the records of the Silver City? Which direction? Has our exploration team been there?"

"That's why I'm hesitant."

Colin Iliad replied in a deep voice: "According to the records of the City of Silver, when the sun had not yet set and the Almighty God protected this land, the Country of Silver did have a friendly country named Emerald. According to records, that It is the Lord's favorite city, and it is also a medium-sized city-state dominated by human beings, where foreigners live in harmony, and even a devout monk became an angel when he was alive, and entered the Kingdom of God."

"But if the records are correct, as early as the early days of the 'Great Cataclysm', news of the Emerald City had already been cut off."

"Of course, the possibility of reconstruction or the same name cannot be ruled out. The specific information may have to be obtained from the visitors."

A guest from a city-state that has been destroyed for thousands of years, if it is in the outside world, will it also become a favorite horror story for Miss "Magician"?However, being in the City of Silver is equally terrifying... Derrick felt his back heat up again, and unspeakable emotions and strong curiosity surged in his heart, which made him a little worried about gains and losses.

Lovia was also immersed in her own thoughts. None of them spoke first, but obviously they all had their own thoughts, and they just looked at each other silently, wanting to prove it from others.

The few pieces of flesh and blood that fell on the table squirmed, Elder Lovia stretched out her hand, grabbed them, crushed them and smeared them on her arms, and they soon became one - she felt that if these pieces of meat were eaten directly If it goes on, it will leave an indelible bad impression on the only young man present.But even though Lovia was already very considerate and reserved, Derrick was still too shocked to say anything.

At this moment, the chief spoke:

"This is an important event. I will convene a council of six to discuss it within today. Now, I want to hear your thoughts."

He looked at Lovia first, and Lovia nodded, thinking while saying:
"I think communication is necessary."

"This is the first time in thousands of years that outsiders have visited. The City of Silver needs to communicate with other cities to find a way out for the future. But..."

There was a hint of hesitation and struggle on Lovia's face: "...But the Emerald City may have been destroyed, and the strength of the people who came here is very likely to exceed our imagination, and they may not even be human beings, but some kind of dark depths with extremely high Intelligent monster, negotiating blindly is the wrong option. In addition, he appeared directly near the City of Silver, and the distance of 500 meters cannot allow us to prepare for battle or defense immediately, it is too close."

Lovia's attitude is to continue to wait and see and investigate before making a decision. This is a conservative and reasonable answer.

Knowing that the other party is likely to be a high-sequence powerhouse of the "Secret Practitioner", he still chose to observe and restrain... Elder Lovia is more rational than I thought, can this be regarded as a "fallen creator"? "Another strong piece of evidence for recovery?Derrick thought to himself.

"Your concerns are correct," the Chief nodded slowly.

Afterwards, Colin looked at Derrick.

"What do you think?"

It stands to reason that my best answer is to repeat Elder Lovia's words, or just say "I don't know, but I'll take the chief's judgment as the standard", but this may be an opportunity, I hint that Mister Fool and the Lord's Chance!

But I can't say it straight!How to hint, how to answer is the best...

Derrick thought at the speed of light, he thought he was acting calm, but in fact he had a serious face, with sweat constantly dripping from his forehead.However, this is also in line with the nervousness of the young man being questioned by the chief himself, and the two elders did not find it strange.

"I think……"

Derrick expended a great deal of effort, almost spitting out a few words:
"I agree with Elder Lovia's thoughts. Although it is dangerous and uncontrollable, it is also an opportunity."

After these words, Derrick felt that his breathing became easier, and the chief signaled him to continue with his eyes. At the same time, Elder Lovia frowned slightly in doubt, as if he still didn't understand why he was always against him. "Derrick Berg "He actually echoed his own thoughts on this matter.

"However, I also have my own opinions."

"As Elder Lovia said, strangers are too close to the City of Silver now. If they harbor malicious intentions, it will be difficult for the City of Silver to take effective defenses in a short period of time." Derrick took a deep breath and said , "In other words, the opponent could actually attack at any time, but he chose to stand back and wait, and passed the message of 'no malice' through you..."

Lovia's eyebrows furrowed even tighter.

Derrick mustered up the courage to finish speaking: "So, in this situation, I think the constant avoidance and warning will make the other party feel dissatisfied."

Before he finished speaking, Lovia retorted in a bad tone: "Derrick Berg, you want to bet the fate of everyone in the City of Silver without malice? You mean, we can't resist anyway, Why don't you just give up resistance and take a gamble?"

"If he is a monster, if he harbors malice, the City of Silver will be in danger because of your decision!"

"How are you going to explain it to those who died?"

The good feelings she had just raised for Derrick disappeared without a trace in an instant, and she recalled that this kid communicated with unknown existences, adding chaos to her spreading the Lord's belief time and time again!
Elder Lovia is very rational!No sooner had I stated my rebuttal than she was already imagining the worst possible developments and coming down on me.Derrick felt very relieved, and struggled to continue to argue:

"The chief said that if the stranger is carrying an Extraordinary item with a high probability of purification ability, then he cannot be a monster."

"Maybe the monsters in the depths of the darkness have evolved resistance to light and purification, or the high-level existence of the Thousand-Faced Hunter can change the appearance of others, blinding the senses of the patrol team."

"He also carried the symbol of the Lord! He also showed it to the patrol team. It is impossible for ordinary monsters to understand the meaning of the symbol!"

Seeing that Lovia was about to speak, Derrick was also a little anxious.But he immediately realized that the emotions of both of them had been aroused, and began to simply start to refute each other instead of rational discussion. Derrick said quickly:

"I'm just expressing my own thoughts, and everything is subject to the judgment of the six-member council."

As soon as this sentence came out, Lovia took back what she was about to say, and managed to calm down.

Colin nodded slightly, with no expression of joy or anger on his face, and suddenly asked, "Is there anything else?"

...This sentence should not be asking me, but implying the meaning of the great existence I have contacted! ...The chief seems to still think that I contacted "Amon", maybe I have to find some time to clarify for Mr. "Fool" in the future... Derrick's radar jumped, and his thoughts changed sharply. Quickly, I thought of a decent answer in an instant:
"No more." He looked into the chief's eyes and said with a relaxed face. "This is a good thing."

Colin looked at him thoughtfully, then waved his hand: "I see, I will call a council of six to discuss this matter. Derrick Berg, you go back."

Derrick heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, and almost smiled.He saluted farewell to the two elders, and then quickly left the round tower.

Lovia looked at his leaving back, and then at the silent chief, always feeling that she might have overlooked some information.

A new day, fine weather, nothing to do.

Klein woke up on the comfortable and soft single bed of the "Tyana" hotel, and yawned.Klein, who has always been living in tension and excitement, felt empty and unreal in the current too leisurely life, and he began to think about what to do.

What can be done at sea?Stealing from the rich and helping the poor?Be a pirate?Be a treasure hunter or an adventurer?Anyway, being a pirate is definitely not an option, but Klein must admit that he simply cannot forget the mouth-watering numbers on the pirate's arrest warrant.

Although there is no shortage of money now, whether it is potion materials or Extraordinary items, it consumes a lot of money and can be prepared for the future... Klein slowly got up, and then slowly lay down in the cool morning air When I went back, I was willingly sealed by the blanket.

"Kill a few pirates to save money? This is a good way, but the pirates who can show up carelessly only have a bounty of a few tens of pounds. Even if mosquito legs are meat, you have to save hundreds of mosquito legs to save enough for one piece of material." Money. There will be other expenses in the process, thankless..."

Klein lay on the bed and muttered, looking at the sliver of sky outside the curtain:
"Previously, the 'Vice Admiral of the Disease' offered a reward of 5400 pounds to Elaine. The pirate generals all have their own channels for getting money. Looting or human trafficking is the fastest way. The third officer of the 'Vice Admiral of the Disease', Misol Jin It’s a great pirate worth [-] pounds, but unfortunately he was also on the Black Death that night, so there are probably no bones left, or a head is left to receive the reward..."

"Tracy's subordinates are like plague gods now, and no pirate general wants to recruit them. Qilingus took them, and Qilingus died. Tracy was recruited, and Tracy died again. If this continues, these little guys The pirates are going to form their own pirate group, and their bounties will naturally increase...Scientifically raise pigs?"

Klein laughed, didn't want to move, and was light-hearted: "Gehrman Sparrow's character is a crazy adventurer, but he hasn't fully set up this character yet, except in front of Danitz."

With an effort, he sat up from the blanket seal, took a few breaths of the fresh and cold morning air, and quickly got up to take a shower.

Next, go to the bar where Bayam adventurers and pirates gather to see if you can encounter any commissions or clues to targets worth hunting.Klein made a plan, put on his coat after washing, and walked out quickly.

……

Backlund, Harvest Church.

Emlyn White held a peculiar badge the size of an eyeball, and heyed in his heart:
"'World' is really long-winded, isn't it just going to Pinster Street in the North District to find a nightwatcher named Leonard Mitchell? He even specifically emphasized that the other party has a secret, and there is a high probability that it can drag people into dreams.

"This is doubting my ability!"

Emlyn stood up, put on a tuxedo and a white shirt, and looked sideways out the window.

Hehe, he has secrets, and I have secrets too. I bet that Lord Nibais or some earl is watching me secretly. If something goes wrong, they will definitely provide some help... Dreaming... Emlyn thought about it In a few seconds, he took out the metal vials one by one, and used the spiritual materials inside to concoct a bottle of blue potion.

Putting away the bottle and potion, he put on his silk top hat, walked out of the lounge, bid farewell to Bishop Utravsky, and left the Harvest Church.

It was only morning at this time, but the sky in Backlund was very dark, and a thin mist filled the air like water.

Emlyn narrowed his eyes, put on his hat, and said to himself:
"The sun is a bit harsh..."

He hailed a cab, went straight to the steam station, and bought a first-class ticket to the North District for sixpence.

This saves a lot of time than going directly!
More than 40 minutes later, he arrived at his destination and stood outside the gate of No. 7 Pinster Street.

Emlyn rang the doorbell politely and waited patiently for a minute.

He was just about to write a note, stuff it in the crack of the door, and make an appointment for the next visit, when he finally heard lazy footsteps approaching.

It doesn't look like a servant... Emlyn nodded invisibly, took out the potion he had prepared before, unscrewed the lid, and Gulu drank it clean.

Then, he saw the door open, and saw a man with black hair and green eyes appear in front of him. He saw that the man was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, the hem of his clothes was ripped out, and he was swaying in the wind, with a chic and unrestrained temperament. Kind of uninhibited.

Although he is a believer in the night, he has to say that he can barely compare with our blood race in appearance... Emlyn took off his hat, lifted his chin slightly and said:

"Good morning, are you Mr. Leonard Mitchell?"

Leonard frowned unobtrusively, looked at the handsome man with a pair of eye-catching red eyes, raised his hand to cover his mouth, and yawned inadvertently:

"you are?"

"A visitor, I have something to ask for your help." Emlyn smiled proudly without revealing his identity.

Such an attitude and this feeling gave Leonard an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he saw himself in the past, always thinking that he was the most special one, the protagonist of the era.

He cleared his throat and said, "I'm just an ordinary citizen, and I don't accept commissions."

"You can go to the private investigator if you have anything to do."

Emlyn White smiled and said, "Only you can accomplish this."

He glanced left and right, and continued:

"I want to buy a magical item that can steal other people's extraordinary abilities."

Leonard focused his eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

At this time, Emlyn didn't answer right away, but instead looked around and said with a tsk-tsk smile: "It's really powerful, I was dragged into a dream almost without noticing it."

He was not in a hurry to get out of here, and took out the small badge from "The World" on Leonard Mitchell's dignified face.

Leonard took a look, his expression softened a little, he tilted his head slightly, and paused for a few seconds.

Without a sound, Emlyn White saw the scene around him quickly shatter and disappear, like glass being broken at the same time.

Leonard snorted and pointed to the room:
"Come in and talk."
