Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 223: Star: Just Mutual Benefit
Leaving Klein in the gray fog to digest the information he brought, Sta said hello and then left the mysterious space of Sefirah Castle.

Next, in addition to making more configurations for "Kamen Rider", there are also issues with the Aurora Society, the Silver City, and Miss Justice...

Everyone seems to be busy.

As for why not following the example of The Hanged Man and doing some trade with the City of Silver.

Because after Star uncovered some of the background of the Aurora Club, he suddenly realized that he would never be short of money again.

Even if the Aurora Society wants to transform in the future, he has the support of a not-so-small secret force, plus other organizations that still believe in "white creation", such as the Silver City and the Iron Cross...

He, Star, is the follower of "White Creation".

This is completely different from the treatment I received as Mr. Fool’s follower…

This made Star recall the past days with emotion: It felt like when he switched from Klein to "Bai Zao", he was completely free from the trouble of lack of money.

Moreover, even without mentioning other things, just mentioning that "Bai Zao" knows all the formulas of the twenty-two pathways, Star also said:
He is determined to make friends with "Bai Zao"!

Apart from anything else, the value that can be generated by delivering high-sequence formulas to specific people is much better than "rolling up" transactions with limited market volume bit by bit.

Therefore, doing business as a "smuggler" like the "Hanged Man" is really too shameful - Star doesn't want to work hard in this area. He delegated this matter so that someone can help him share the pressure in Silver City.

After all, you have to do some real work while enjoying these benefits.

In a sense, this is just a "waste of time" task.

Star also doesn't want to become a "worm" in his organization. There are still many things he needs to plan carefully in the future...

After sitting on the bed in the bedroom and thinking for a while, Sta decided to start some long-term tasks first.

After all, there are many things that can be done synchronously and online.

Before that, a sacrificial ceremony should be performed first to deliver the things that "Little Sun" needs to him as soon as possible. After all, if you come without any proof, it will be easy for the high-level officials of Silver City, who have become like spirits, to misunderstand that you are just a big talker.

……

In the Silver City, in a dim room at the top of the round tower that symbolizes the highest power in the Silver City.

Colin Iliad, the chief of the "Six-Man Council", the highest institution in the City of Silver, was standing in front of the window, staring at the City of Silver shrouded in darkness and lightning.

The rays of light illuminated his messy gray hair, the old scars on his face that were either twisted or hideous, his deep nasolabial lines and eyes filled with complex expressions.

He looked at Derrick the Sun who came to confess and asked:
"Are you sure you met the Lord's favored ones at the gathering organized by that mysterious entity?"

When Derrick nodded, Colin's expression became solemn and no change could be seen.

There was a dead silence in the room, with only the roar of thunder and lightning outside the window.

Derrick looked at the Chief's face, which was full of traces of time, and didn't know what to say next.

After experiencing so many things in just a few days, although his nature is still pure, otherwise he would not have taken the risk and mustered up the courage to confess these things to Chief Colin - for the vast majority of residents in the City of Silver, the bright side of human nature is a belief that is engraved into their bones through what they have seen and heard.

However, this did not prevent "Sun" Derrick from being able to make independent analysis in some aspects:

Just as Mr. Wheel of Fortune pointed out, the City of Silver has reached its limit to some extent. No matter what the situation is, as long as it can bring some changes to the stagnant city-state, it will bring even a little hope.

This is what they expected.

Even the worst case scenario is better than waiting to die in despair.

Not to mention encountering the Lord's favored ones.

But it's still a little too shocking.

That is, Derrick knew that Mr. Wheel of Fortune had directly pointed out that the "abundance" that Silver City relied on - the "black-faced grass" was the "gift of the earth". He could infer from this that Mr. Wheel of Fortune knew about Silver City's "god-level seal", which was why he, as the Lord's follower, could immediately react to the nature of their fateful curse. However, it was impossible to say this out loud.

After all, according to Mr. Wheel of Fortune's warning, there should be no more than a handful of people in the entire Silver City who know such secrets -

If the "Sun" knew this secret, although Silver City was in a very united atmosphere, it would still make people feel uneasy.

Of course, if he said it out loud, it was possible that Colin might directly train Derrick as the next generation chairman due to various factors...

But isn't it inappropriate to reveal someone's biggest secret right after meeting them?
At least that's what someone like Xiao Ke who opened the box thought.

Generally speaking, the best way to handle this kind of secret is to pretend you don't know about it for the time being, so as not to make the chief too suspicious.

So Derrick had no choice but to scratch his head, wondering if he could convince the Chief with the "tokens" that Star had immediately sent over.

But to Derrick's surprise, the Chief of Silver City did not show any unusual emotions - or maybe he did, but he was just controlling himself.

He inquired, "So, what else did he propose?"

In other words, apart from asking Derrick to tell the Chief secretly about his encounter with the "Lord's Favored One", what other substantive suggestions were made?
Then, with the gift of the "Sun" path potion formula, a certain degree of connection with the outside world for trade, and finally a new way of obtaining food...

Chief Colin's silent expression finally changed.

As thunder roared, Chief Colin first picked the "Sun" pathway formula to sort out these things bit by bit, each of which was enough to bring about huge changes to Silver City.

"You mean, he really offered to give you the formula for the Sun Pathway from Sequence 9 to Sequence 7?"

The meaning behind this is very unusual, it is equivalent to starting out with a big statement and pouring out your heart.

"Yes, Chief. That gentleman, or His Majesty the God's Favored One, said that the Sun Path has undergone a qualitative change when it reaches Sequence 7. It can use many spells in the Sun domain..."

This is enough for them in the dark environment of Silver City. The subsequent "notarization" ability of the "notary" is of no use to them in the "forsaken land of God" and lacking various trading environments.

Maybe, but that has to come after "connecting with the outside world to a certain extent for trade."

This is another reason:
"This 'Forsaken Land of Gods' actually lacks some extraordinary materials required to reach Sequence 6 and above. Giving the 'Notary' the potion formula is meaningless."

Therefore, for the Silver City, which has been able to use these magic potion formulas to cultivate a group of extraordinary people in the "Sun" field, this kind of atmosphere, could it be that it is the Lord's favored one?
So, at the end of his explanation, Derrick volunteered, “If the Chief is worried, I will be the first person to take the Sequence 9 ‘Ode to the Singer’ potion.”

After all, it was like the "Follower" sent by the Lord to save Silver City. He instantly raised Derrick's favorability to the maximum. Thinking of this, he felt a little excited.

Even if Star knew about it, he would only say: It was just a simple mutual benefit. Even if there was no "White Creation", he was still eyeing the "Gift of the Earth". It was just a transaction.

This was also because he truly respected the Silver City's perseverance for thousands of years and could not bear to treat it as just a redemption play - therefore, if nothing else happened, Star also believed that he and the Silver City had made an equal deal -

Their history deserves this tribute.

However, from the perspective of Silver City, there may be a slight error.

Chief Colin looked at Derrick deeply.

After all, Derrick's words made it seem as if he had some opinion about that "His Majesty".

But he did not blame Derrick, a child who had not experienced much, but continued to think about what Star suggested.

Then he smiled a little, which was rare for him, and said to Derrick in a soft voice:

"It's already very good, it's already very good..."

He rarely repeated a sentence.

Outside the window, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, blasting through the darkness and casting a silver glow over everything.
