Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 273 A Thriving Trade

As soon as you arrive, you get a magical item of sequence 5. Which wealthy family is this?
This time, even Miss Justice was stunned:
The Pirate General is only at the Sequence 5 level, right?
The Hanged Man was a little overwhelmed: after all, at the beginning, he had thought of taking advantage of the young, naive and inexperienced character of Little Sun to gain benefits from Silver City.

But at this moment, I saw that in order to thank Mr. Wheel of Fortune and Mr. Fool, Silver City took out such a big gift package.

As he gained a deeper impression of the power of Silver City, he could not help but feel a trace of sadness in his heart due to his greed:
His original goal was to become a Sequence 5 "Ocean Singer", and then become a quasi-high-ranking member of the Church of the Storm, thereby gradually entering the core of the Church of the Storm!

And now, Silver City has obtained two Sequence 5 Level "2" Sealed Artifacts, which are directly presented to Mr. Wheel of Fortune and Mr. Fool.

How could this not make Alger, the "Hanged Man", feel like he was eating lemons like crazy in his heart? How could this not make him frantically warn himself in his mind:
No, no, no, compared with Mr. Wheel of Fortune and Mr. Fool, who may have already transcended the mundane world, it is still too ambitious.

It’s pretty good that he, the “Hanged Man”, could rise step by step as a mixed-race person…

Therefore, the trick shown by classmate "Sun" really made "Hanged Man" only able to comfort himself, while looking at the central figure of this topic: Mr. "Wheel of Fortune".

Mr. Fool would naturally not refuse, but he barely used the extraordinary ability of the "Clown" to control his expression so that his joy would not show so eagerly.

What reason did Klein have to not accept this kind of thing that was not considered a "pie in the sky"?
Just as Star said, Mr. Fool did not appear too shabby in being a "logistics intermediary" to "take advantage of the situation" and charge "logistics fees" - no, whether it was out of sincere gratitude to Mr. Fool or respect for Mr. Fool's divine identity and the existence behind Star, the City of Silver more or less gave enough benefits.

As for Star from "Wheel of Fortune", his psychology is probably similar to the one described above.

Star just nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. After a moment's silence, he started talking about another matter:
"How's your Amazon farming going?"

"The Chief has already sent people to try it out. This 'monster' is indeed more delicious than the various creatures in the darkness before. It's just that the current production is not enough. Even with the assistance of the 'Rose Bishop'."

Derrick, an honest child, told in detail the various efforts made by the City of Silver to transform the monsters in the darkness into "usable ingredients" after receiving the "driver".

At present, it seems that within a few months, the breeding of "Amazon" will become their second largest food source after black-faced grass - before that, their second largest food source has always been various extremely disgusting creatures with pus all over their bodies.

Now, even though "Amazon" doesn't taste as delicious as real meat, its characteristics such as "it can be eaten after removing the head" and "it contains six times the protein of beef" have undoubtedly brought a groundbreaking new channel for Silver City's food sources.

Especially the previous black-faced grass was based on the curse of "sending blood relatives to the road with one's own hands".

Based on this, Derrick couldn't help but feel that Mr. "Wheel of Fortune" was extremely reliable and kind.

“Thank you, thank you, and Mr. Fool. With this help, the City of Silver will surely be able to hold out in the darkness for a longer time.”

Klein felt a little guilty after hearing this, and replied calmly, "This is the principle of equal exchange."

If it weren't for Starta personally taking the lead in proposing this suggestion, Klein really wouldn't have dared to let "Sun" Derrick take such a risk and reveal all the affairs of the Tarot Club in the absence of sufficient effective information, let alone trade the daily necessities needed by Silver City through the Tarot Club.

This is also the third largest source of food that Silver City needs - the food stockpiled through external trade must be enough to sustain the population of Silver City for a certain period of time when the black-faced grass harvest is not good and the "Amazon" breeding is not rolled out.

Star listened quietly to the changes he had brought about, and followed Xiao Ke's calm reply:

“It’s a mutually beneficial relationship.”

"You see, this kind of 'three-party trade' is not only beneficial to your Silver City, but also to the members of the Tarot Club. It is enough for them to exchange our not-so-rare materials for extraordinary materials in the process."

"This is what we talked about last time: the extraordinary is a 'mystery' controlled by the government here, but it is not the case with you."

At this time, Magician Fors and Judge Hugh almost understood what Star and Sun were talking about, and their thoughts ran wild:

Could it be that Mr. Sun is the representative of a powerful force in some extremely remote area? Why would anyone need to go to the Tarot Club to exchange these daily necessities?

Fortunately, Miss Justice seemed to have noticed the new member's confusion, and she and Fors took advantage of this opportunity to explain:
"Mr. Sun is not on the northern or southern continents, nor is he on an island in the ocean. He is beyond the limits of our knowledge or exploration."

"He lives in the City of Silver, a cursed land filled with darkness, without sunlight all day, and invaded by all kinds of monsters."

So amazing?

There is such a place?
Fors subconsciously wanted to deny it, but when she thought of Mr. Doyle's serious conversation, she quickly accepted Audrey's explanation and felt that it was not impossible.

But, is there such a harsh environment? This is really suitable for writing into an adventure novel...

Fors sighed in his heart, and then, like Xio, asked Mr. Wheel of Fortune and Mr. Sun:

"Can I join in on this deal?"

"Of course. In fact, I am not interested in this kind of thing. Mr. Sun's Silver City also needs a sufficient number of members to help them obtain some specific supplies."

Star added slowly.

In fact, it's not just the daily stuff. There are some potion recipes in the God-Forsaken Land that lack certain extraordinary materials, thus cutting off their hopes of advancement.

What a generous gathering, what an admirable "mutually beneficial" relationship... After getting Star's consent, Fors secretly breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed, and said with emotion.

At this time, after a long preparation, "Sun" Derrick also stated the biggest task assigned by Silver City during this trip:
"I want to learn from you about the outside world, including its history, extraordinary powers, leaders, life, and other aspects."

This is information that a mature force must understand when it comes into contact with the outside world.

He has grown up, "little sun"... Star was not surprised when he saw Derrick's behavior, and felt relieved in his heart.

This can be considered as the case of breaking down before building up... Well, the reason why Silver City did not have internal strife under such circumstances was that it fully trusted "Little Sun" and gave him training.

At the same time, the other five people present also had different reactions, leaning forward slightly to indicate that they were interested in answering.

Derrick paused for a moment, but without any stage fright, he continued, "All kinds of fragmentary information...you can express them directly on the parchment, and I will organize them afterwards." After receiving personal guidance from the top leaders of Silver City, "Sun" Derrick had matured a lot. He knew how to use vague words to get important intelligence from everyone, so that he could get the most comprehensive information.

This will not only be of great help to Silver City in exchanging extraordinary materials for external resources, but will also allow them to understand the changes in the world outside the "God-forsaken Land".

At this time, Klein the Fool, who was shrouded in fog, saw that all the members had joined in, including him, so he smiled and said:

"Okay, I will ask each member to present the information on parchment according to their own wishes."

"What will you pay for this?"

"Sun" Derrick pursed his lips, thought for a few seconds and said:

"I can provide the historical data of Silver City, as well as the common monsters in the area around Silver City and the corresponding material list."

This made the eyes of several members present light up. Even Star, out of his "player" desire for exploration and hoarding habit, wanted to know what common monsters and corresponding materials were in the area around Silver City.

Even "mystics" would be amazed by the unimaginably rich amount of information.

Not to mention the mysterious information that is even more attractive to The Hanged Man, The Magician, and Justice - the historical data of the City of Silver.

So, under Klein's witness, everyone looked forward to Derrick writing down the various situations of the northern and southern continents on parchment:
In addition to the commonly used information such as the "Seven Gods Alliance" and its church in charge of the northern and southern continents, there are also commonly circulated creation myths, the geographical locations of various countries and international relations, the productivity level of the steam age, and some common sense about food (such as the outside world has a lot of rich ingredients, etc.)...

This made Derrick, who finally received this integrated information, shocked:

So there are places like this out there?

A place full of vigor and vitality that cannot be concealed?
This must be the "paradise" under the sun that the people in the "God-forsaken land" have been dreaming of.

Oh my god, why can't they enjoy this beautiful world.

Derrick almost shed tears at the Tarot Club. This information made him yearn for life in the bright world even more.

Even though it was filled with all kinds of unfamiliar nouns whose meanings were incomprehensible, such as "factory", "gas", "train", etc., but through Mr. Fool's thoughtful annotations, at least Derrick could understand the difference between the outside world and the God-Forsaken Land, and understand the wonderfulness of life in the outside world.

It's not like the "God-forsaken Land" where people live in darkness, surrounded by monsters, living in fear and humiliation, and are killed by their own blood relatives when they die...

It was a pity that the excitement and excitement quickly cooled down, and Derrick understood that they could not experience this kind of beauty for the time being.

Not to mention other things, they can't even solve the problem of food...

Sun Derrick knew that the time for the Tarot gathering was limited, so he hurriedly ended the reading and planned to pray to Mr. Fool after returning, asking Him to help awaken his memory.

This will also be of great help to Silver City in obtaining specific supplies from the Tarot Club based on this information...

For example, Miss Justice and Mr. Wheel of Fortune seemed to have kindly added a sentence in order to prevent Silver City from being deceived by not knowing the situation in the outside world:
In the outside world, extraordinary materials are relatively rare, so their value is much higher than these basic living supplies.

Although Silver City would definitely not make such a mistake, this was also a form of human interaction, and Derrick would report the situation to the Silver City Council truthfully.

With the help of Mr. Fool, he quickly materialized the outline of the history textbook of Silver City, as well as the common monsters in the area around Silver City and the corresponding material list.

At the same time, several members who had come into contact with the history of Silver City were moved to varying degrees by the tragedy of Silver City's history, and countless thoughts burst out in their minds.

Even the "Hanged Man" Alger began to wonder if some of his previous dark thoughts were a bit unkind.

Of course, there is another question:

Why is the creation myth of the City of Silver different from the creation myth circulated in the outside world?
Could it be that the City of Silver, being in an extreme environment, has a different understanding of the world than they do? Or is their history a whitewashed version of the Church of the Seven?
They were still not satisfied and wanted to learn more, but they were afraid that it might be disrespectful to the gods. They also knew that Derrick might not have any records on this, so they had to keep their doubts in their hearts.

Judging from the history of Silver City, they lived in an extremely harsh environment and had no guarantee of survival. How could they explore the so-called historical secrets?

At this moment, they all remembered the curse of "killing blood relatives" behind the so-called "black-faced grass", and sighed in their hearts for various reasons.

And suddenly, they also noticed that Mr. Wheel of Fortune turned around and asked Mr. Fool:

“Mr. Fool, I also want to manifest another piece of information. It’s about a batch of mushrooms I recently harvested that can grow and reproduce in the dark by devouring the flesh and blood of monsters.”

"Perhaps Silver City is in great need of something like this that can be used as food..."

Because it can complement the breeding of "Amazon", and can even reproduce quickly with the help of the flesh and blood of "Amazon"...

No, “Wheel of Fortune” also has this trick?
After hearing this, "Sun" Derrick couldn't wait to read the manual presented by Star after Mr. Fool promised Star to materialize the information. The title was as follows:
——"A new approach to food research based on the mystical approach of 'biologists': the example of mushrooms".

The more Derrick read, the more frightened he became. If the mushrooms were really as reported, or even only half as effective, he knew the situation in Silver City very well and knew what that meant.
From now on, Silver City no longer has to rely on "Human Blood Black Face Grass" for food!
They will even be able to get the food they need very easily in the future with the cooperation of the "Amazon" that was originally kept in captivity and can attract monsters and multiply in the dark!

He restrained his thoughts and put down the instruction manual that held a glimmer of hope and great temptation. This "gift package" was so valuable that he, a resident of Silver City, was at a loss.

Even if "Sun" Derrick had received special instruction from the Silver City Council before joining the Tarot Club, it was still the same.

He almost felt a lump in his throat, but without letting himself hesitate, Derrick finally said the words Star had been waiting for:
"What do you need in exchange?"

No matter what, Silver City cannot rely too much on Star's help here.

This is what they thought, and what Star had been waiting for:
"...I need the right to use a sealed item of at least Saint level."
