Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 207: "Little Sun" had no idea who he had passed by
City of Silver, Morgue Hall.

Derrick stood in front of the steps, looking forward with red eyes, looking at his parents lying in two coffins.

Ding Ding Deng!
He lowered his head, rushed forward, raised his straight sword high, and stabbed down heavily.

Everything in his sight was bright red. He drew out his straight sword and stabbed it into the coffin next to him.

The sharp metal pierced through his flesh, and Derrick loosened his grip and stood up shakily.

He did not look inside the two coffins. He stumbled out of the morgue with his hands clenched tightly, as if he was being chased by an evil spirit.

“Ah…” The old man who was watching all this sighed and watched Derrick leave.

There was one thing he didn't actually explain to Derrick:

That is, they who were abandoned by the gods seem to have regained the gods' attention?

However, it is hard to say for sure. Maybe it is an evil god?

Although it may sound a bit disrespectful, the Creator hasn't paid attention to this place for a long time.

For thousands of years, there has been no response...

Never.

He closed his eyes, as if recalling his past experiences, and tapped his cane.

……

There are stone pillars standing on the streets of the City of Silver, with lanterns hanging on top of them, and unburned candles inside the lanterns.

There is no sun, no moon, no stars in the sky here, only constant darkness and lightning that tears everything apart.

Relying on the illumination of lightning, the people of the Silver City travel on the dim roads. They believe that the few hours every day when the lightning subsides are the legendary real night. At this time, candles are needed to illuminate the city, dispel the darkness, and guard against monsters.

Derrick's eyes were wide open as he walked through the streets in a daze.

At this moment, he saw a man walking by.

She was wearing a black robe embroidered with many mysterious purple patterns, and her silver-gray hair was draped in thick but slightly curly hair.

That was a member of the Silver City Six-Man Council, "Shepherd" Lovia.

It's just that compared to the past - she always switches between different states irregularly, sometimes crying, sometimes sneering, sometimes snorting, sometimes being indifferent...

She seems more normal lately?
and……

I saw a little boy following Elder Lovia, a little boy of about eight or nine years old with soft and smooth yellow hair.

At one point, Derrick suspected that there was something wrong with his vision:
Isn't Elder Lovia single? Why does she have a child? Is she adopted?

However, under normal circumstances, Derrick would definitely be very confused and would share and discuss this matter with his companions.

But now, having just experienced a major event in his life, he really had no intention of paying attention to Elder Lovia's transformation.

Even if she was a member of the Silver City Six-Man Council, returning to normalcy would be beneficial to the survival of the city...

But, this is a city abandoned by God!

This is a place that carries a cruel curse...

Why is this happening?
Derrick's heart was filled with grief, anger and deep despair.

He continued to stroll in this place that seemed to have lost its vitality.

……

"Let's go."

Lovia stopped and spoke coldly to the little boy who was looking at Derrick curiously.

Although her tone was cold, her pale grey eyes swept over the little boy and a gentle smile appeared on her face.

According to the will of that great being, this little boy named "Jack" would have to be temporarily handed over to her for upbringing for a period of time.

So, what stands before you now is:
A member of the six-member council of the City of Silver, a "shepherd", a favored one of the Creator, and a blesser of the angel of destiny.

Divorced widow with children——

Lovia!
Of course, it is impossible for Lovia to say this introduction.

On the contrary, she is now troubled by a problem:
Who can tell her how to raise a baby?
Also, how should one educate a little boy?

……

And in a corner where no one was paying attention, a figure quietly emerged.

The figure was wearing a black classical robe and a pointed soft hat of the same color. He had black curly hair, black eyes, and a broad forehead, but there was an indescribable sense of oppression.

He pulled out a crystal monocle from his pocket, wiped the surface with his sleeve, then slowly clipped it into his right eye socket and turned his head to look to the left.

That was not Derrick's direction, otherwise Mr. Fool would have been "blinded" when he pulled Derrick up.

Instead, he looked at Lovia who was looking at Jack with a faint smile:

"'The Hanged Man'?"

He knew the origin of the little boy. He was a saint of the Aurora Society - the "Black Saint" named Leo Master. He was leading a pilgrimage team to find the sanctuary of the "True Creator" and brought the flesh and blood of the saint when they came to the "God-forsaken Land" for pilgrimage.

However, the "Black Saint" was trapped in the almost unreal and dangerous ocean at the easternmost part of the Sonia Sea, and it was difficult for him to enter the "God-forsaken Land" through the "Giant King's Court".

Instead, the little boy was sent in.

Moreover, this approach...

Could it be that the person has regained some sanity?

He raised his hand and squeezed the crystal monocle, then stretched out his hand to pull at the "long river" called "fate" that was shimmering with light waves, to trace the cause behind it.

In the end, He found nothing...

Then, He narrowed His eyes, both with and without the monocle, and whispered to himself as the corners of His mouth slightly curved:

"interesting."

……

While the figure wearing the monocle was thinking about something, another tall and thin man watched this scene through "fate".

His silver hair was long enough to reach his back, his face was beautiful, his features were gentle, and behind him were layers of radiant wings.

Under the feet of this man who has become an angel, there is a winding river with shimmering waves. The river keeps turning, circling back, pouring into him, and becoming the source.

There was a hint of indifference in His gentle face, as if He was looking down at the river.

He is none other than the "Angel of Destiny" Ouroboros, the king of the angels of the "Destiny" path, also known as the "Tail-Eater".

In fact, after the Creator awakened, He received a suggestion to restart and experience a complete life. He then came up with the idea of ​​"reincarnation" to understand what human nature is.

For example, let the "shepherd" Lovia be His mother?

But this was prevented by a certain existence that did not even consider "fate" to be non-existent, and the Creator -

They all still need an angel to help.

Therefore, Ouroboros not only waited for the "real rap master" in the God-forsaken Land, but also received "billion points" and "the master's mission".

Just at this moment, Ouroboros noticed the man with the monocle in time, and luckily avoided the accident.

"I see. Is this also part of your plan? Then... I understand."

The Angel of Destiny Ouroboros suddenly felt that he knew a lot. It seemed that he would have to pay more attention to the City of Silver in the future.

So, while he was guarding the "Giant King's Court", he also had the task of guarding the "Silver City".

……

And Derrick had no idea who he had passed by.

All he knew was that as he walked, he found himself back at his doorstep.

He took out his key, unlocked the padlock, and pushed the door open. Derrick saw everything familiar, but his parents were nowhere to be seen.

Derrick clenched his hands again, and quickly returned to his room, where he dug out the crystal ball that his father said was used by a long-destroyed city-state to worship the gods.

He knelt down, facing the crystal ball, and prayed again without much hope:
"Great God, please turn your gaze back to this place you have abandoned."

"Great God, please free us, the people of darkness, from the curse of fate."

"I am willing to dedicate my life to you and please you with my blood."

……

In the mysterious space high above the gray fog, a being who calls himself "Mr. Fool" was driven to this mysterious space by someone.

He is Klein, who was chosen by Star and "Bai Zao" to handle the problems of Silver City.

After all, Star can now fully represent "Bai Zao", and his will is almost the same as that of "Bai Zao".

In this sense, Klein is not only "Star's follower", but also "the one favored by the Creator"?
At this time, Klein was sitting at the head of the long table in the bronze hall, somewhat puzzled.

Hmm, did I make a mistake?
After all, Miss Justice and Mr. Hanged Man don't have anything to ask me for, and if they really did, I probably wouldn't be able to help...

Klein thought of this and looked at the few crimson stars that seemed to be doing fine. He gathered his thoughts and was about to leave this mysterious space above the gray fog.

But at this moment, he discovered that the deep red star that had been quiet for a long time began to shrink and expand slightly again.

Klein extended his spiritual sense with great interest and saw the young man who spoke Giant language again. He saw him kneeling in front of a pure crystal ball.

You finally came……

You know, Klein has been thinking about this matter ever since he knew this boy that day.

That is a place abandoned by God.

A place with many secrets.

Besides, listen to Star:
Maybe there will be a lot of extraordinary materials that the Tarot Club needs.

If Klein wasn't worried about not having enough spiritual energy, he would have wanted to trick... no, to recruit a new member.

When he was finally promoted to "Clown" and "Magician", Klein also considered whether he should pull Derek up.

After all, in order to master the "Giant language", he once obtained a "Giant language dictionary" through Star's channel -

This is to prevent Mr. Fool from not being able to understand the language of the new members!

However, pulling people up without anyone praying or asking for help was really beneath Mr. Fool's character.

In this regard, Klein could only wait for Little Sun Derrick to pray again.

Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that just a few days after his promotion, this person prayed again...

Klein listened attentively, and finally understood what the other party was saying with the help of the giant language he had finally mastered.

Abandoned place... People of darkness... Great gods... Klein silently recited these key words, but the first thing that came to his mind was:

So what Star said was true?
But how did Star analyze from this short passage that people in the "God-forsaken Land" need to kill their fathers and mothers?

After all, that person didn't seem to mention in detail what curse they were carrying?
However, Klein did not delve into the matter further:
Maybe during the last prayer, when they asked him for help, the man had already told them what curse they were carrying?
So Star really knows Giant language...

Klein thought of the annotated "Giant Dictionary":
It turns out that the book wasn't one that Star had used recently and then given to me?
Are those the notes that Star had carefully marked for him?

He really made me cry to death...

Klein was immediately moved.

Star is so gentle. It seems that there is a reason why he priced the dictionary so high...

However, if Star wanted him to master the language so that he could recruit new members, then Klein felt that he should not let Star down.

Klein tapped the edge of the bronze table with his fingers three times. After that, he made a decision, stretched out his right hand, and touched the illusory crimson star.

The ball of deep red immediately burst out, and the light flowed like water.

It's just recruiting a new member, what's the risk?

You can't possibly create a mortal enemy by doing this, right?

So Klein watched indifferently as "Little Sun" Derrick entered the mysterious space above the gray fog.

……

On the other side, at No. 15 Minsk Street in the Cherwood District of Backlund.

Star suddenly looked towards the bathroom on the side.

"what happened?"

"Bai Zao" was a little confused about Sta's sudden action and asked him.

"Nothing, maybe it's just my illusion..."

Star did not explain much here, but silently added in his heart:
"Ding, 'Little Sun' card..."

But even so, Star did not regard the "illusion" just now as just an illusion.

But this "illusion" is really a bit strange.

Star naturally knew that Klein had gone to Sefirah Castle to "greet" the Little Sun just now.

He was even behind this matter - so that "Little Sun" could meet Mr. Fool at the right time safely - and also so that Mr. Fool could be safe.

So, Mr. Fool, who was watching Derrick coming up, also had a "Star" watching him from behind...

Therefore, Star could guess that the location over there should be the bathroom that Klein entered before going to the gray fog space.

So, when Star sensed a gray fog above the spiritual world at this time, he seemed even more surprised.

He is not a high-ranking being in the "Fortune Teller" path, so why would he react to "Source Castle"?

He is just a "faceless man".

Moreover, not only that, Klein let other Beyonders know that he possessed the "Source Castle", but only after he was promoted to "Ancient Scholar", or at least "Faceless Man", could he leak the aura of the "Source Castle", right?
How come he can sense the "Source Castle" now?

Star was a little confused about this.

If that were all, Star could explain:
Maybe he has reached a certain path, and because of the "between reality and illusion", he will be a high-ranking being on this path.

Then it was no surprise to know at close range that someone had landed at Sefirah Castle...

Not surprising, damn...

For the moment, Sta didn't think about why he discovered that Xiao Ke went to "Source Castle".

In fact, the most important thing is that there is something wrong with this feeling?

His reaction to Sefirah Castle was just like the reaction of Between Reality and Illusion to Sefirah Castle that day...
