Mystery: A Spark

That's why he's the protagonist; it's as if he has some kind of gravitational pull, causing all sorts of events to converge on him.

So, as long as one's combat strength is not strong enough, avoiding the areas where the followers of the Mother Tree of Desire are active should not be a big problem... Arthur pondered silently.

Once he matures, it won't be him hiding from these Outer God believers anymore; it will be these Outer God believers hiding from him.

Just as Arthur began to set aside certain places for himself, he suddenly heard Derrick's voice:

"...Our chief is back, but he has locked himself in the dungeon."

What the hell? Arthur looked up abruptly, staring at Derrick in surprise.

Derrick glanced around at the surprised faces of the crowd and explained:

“Actually, our team members who go out to explore are usually quarantined after they return, for safety reasons. But this time, the chief was away for a month, so he suggested going into the dungeon to ensure that no problems would arise.”

"Oh, I see..." Audrey nodded in realization.

No one else was surprised.

In fact, the reason they were surprised was that the chief of Silver City was actually imprisoned, which was almost impossible in the outside world.

After all, the chief of Silver City is the leader of their city-state, just like the king of the Kingdom of Rune. How can a leader in power go to prison?

Arthur, on the other hand, was thinking about something else: would Colin be able to detect Amon's parasite after becoming a demon hunter?

What kind of sealed creature did this prominent warrior-path extraordinary individual in the original work choose for himself?

……

Silver City Dungeon.

Suddenly, a silver light illuminated the once dark and quiet dungeon, accompanied by a thick, malevolent, and foul aura.

Such an unexpected turn of events quickly attracted the attention of the two elders guarding the dungeon.

In the blink of an eye, the two elders arrived outside the cell where the incident had occurred, only to witness a scene that astonished them greatly.

Instead of being imprisoned in Del's cramped cell, a ferocious humanoid creature over three meters tall, with two horns on its head and two wings on its back, now stood.

This is a powerful demon, or more accurately, a demon hunter who has been corrupted.

The demon hunter was holding a pure white and sharp straight sword, and next to the sword lay a translucent worm.

It is only the length of a thumb, slender almost like a child's little finger, and its rings of completely transparent color divide it into many segments.

As the demon hunter raised his straight sword, about to say something, another translucent worm appeared.

But unlike the previous one, this little worm appeared from the Demon Hunter's body.

At the same time, a hoarse voice filled with malice rang in the demon hunter's ear:

"Hey, that's interesting. This little bug actually wants to parasitize you, but it doesn't know that your body is already full."

The demon hunter ignored the sound and looked at the two elders who were somewhat wary outside the door, then deactivated his demonic transformation.

The massive body, originally over three meters tall, gradually shrank, becoming a male body that was over two meters tall... well... not so tall.

"I am Colin." Colin, shirtless and with gray hair, dispelled the two elders' suspicions with just one sentence.

The reason he was shirtless was because his clothes had burst due to the transformation.

"Your Excellency, Udel..."

"His body was parasitized by an unknown entity, but the problem has now been resolved."

Colin sheathed his silver-white straight sword, walked to his original cell, and said:

"I will stay here for another seven days. These two little insects must be some kind of extraordinary material, which can be stored in the warehouse."

"Oh, by the way, could you get me some clothes?"

"Yes, Chief."

Colin returned to his cell, sat down in silence, and stared quietly at the wall next to him, as if mourning the person who had just died in the cell next door.

Back then, the squad led by Udel encountered a man who called himself Amon. This mysterious man even promised to visit Silver City.

Upon returning to Silver City, Yudel's exploration team went mad and out of control, leaving only Yudel alone.

Silver City knew there was definitely something wrong with Yudel, but they couldn't find anything unusual about him using their methods.

They wanted to find out what the purpose of this man named Amon was and what strange things he did, so they deliberately didn't eliminate him directly.

Over the years, Colin and his team would often send extraordinary individuals who showed signs of losing control to live next door to Udel, talk to him, and see if they could induce some abnormal changes in him.

However, all these attempts failed; Huddle behaved perfectly normally, too normally.

Today, Colin has been promoted to Demon Hunter and returned to Silver City.

Since I've been away for a month, spending seven days in the dungeon is a safer approach.

The devil is a highly intelligent and extraordinary creature that can easily manipulate the desires of others through voice, eye contact, and actions.

After becoming a Demon Hunter, Colin was able to "borrow" a portion of the demon's extraordinary abilities.

So Colin tentatively used language that could arouse desire in others to say something:

"Do you know the Fool?"

That one sentence easily ignited Hudders's desire and finally confirmed Colin's goal in coming here.

So, is it some kind of prophetic ability? Forty-two years ago, this man named Amon foresaw the appearance of the mysterious "Fool" in Silver City, so he came here in advance to wait? If he hadn't used the Devil's Desire ability, he might not have been able to find him... Colin pondered silently.

"Hehe, how about it? Isn't my ability useful? Let's make a deal, as long as you can..."

Colin frowned, then placed his hand on his chest. A flash of silver light appeared in his palm and disappeared into the silver patterns on his chest.

Suddenly, his ears were quiet.

“It’s my business if I borrow your abilities, why should I consult you?” Colin said calmly.

……

In the deep darkness, where no one knew where, a bolt of lightning ripped across the sky, illuminating the surroundings.

This is a plain full of ravines, and a dark blue-green cyclops is wandering around unconsciously.

His eyes were lifeless, his face was covered with signs of decay and pus, and his body was filled with a grayish-yellow gas that swirled into clouds in the air.

At his feet, in the deepest ravine of the plain, a figure stood on the edge, looking down.

The figure was dressed in a black classical robe and a matching pointed soft hat. He had black curly hair, black eyes, a broad forehead, and a thin face.

He raised his hand and pinched the crystal monocle, then turned his head to look to the left, gazing into the distance.

"Heh, that's interesting."

Chapter 174 Beicheng Enforcer Hugh!

A few days ago, when Arthur was promoted to schemer, some images were shown.

The sight of those images jolted Arthur out of the abnormal state brought on by his promotion, preventing his brain from being burned out.

Arthur originally wanted to see what these images were about and find out where they came from.

However, to his surprise, all of these images were of cavalry.

Moreover, they were the kind of cavalrymen who wore extremely thick and heavy armor.

But that's alright. After all, Arthur knows that knowledge in this world is poisonous, and some of his memories are usually sealed away, so he's not surprised by this kind of Arima scene.

He thought to himself that it didn't matter if he couldn't see clearly in reality; as long as he got to Yuanbao, he would make sure those damned cavalrymen never returned.

What's really frustrating is that even after arriving at Yuanbao, these cavalrymen showed no sign of turning into infantry.

Damn it! Who on earth did this? Are they deliberately trying to pique people's interest? Before I transmigrated, I was already suffering from the torment of censorship, and now I can't escape the punishment of censorship after transmigrating. Does that mean I transmigrated for nothing? Arthur gritted his teeth inwardly.

But there was nothing he could do.

After all, he could freely browse even the knowledge of Outer Gods on the Source Castle, but these images were heavily pixelated, which meant they might be even more important.

Or perhaps, they could cause Arthur immense harm, harm that he cannot currently withstand.

Oh well, if I can't see it, then I won't. I'm not the kind of person who would do anything to satisfy my curiosity... Arthur saved the heavily censored images directly into his badge, deciding to avoid seeing them altogether.

At this point, the Tarot Club's proceedings had progressed to the stage where Mr. Fool was reading Russell's diary.

The diary was provided by Audrey and its contents were drawn from the Roselle artifacts in the Kingdom Museum.

After the "Blasphemy Card" was stolen by the Fool's retinue, Audrey did not feel guilty and stopped going to the Kingdom Museum. Instead, she acted as if nothing had happened and openly asked her father for another chance to look through the "notebook" this week after the exhibition ended.

Audrey believed this would make her appear open and honest, and was the best way to avoid suspicion.

If they always seem guilty and don't do things according to normal logic, then even if the Steam Church didn't suspect anything before, they will find something wrong later.

Because she felt that the first few pages of a diary must contain something important, Audrey mainly memorized the first three pages and used these three pages to obtain the answer to the question, "Why does the Blasphemy Card hold divine secrets?"

What Audrey didn't know was that these three pages of the diary she remembered weren't of much value; they merely recorded a portion of Huang Tao's experiences after he had just transmigrated.

The only potentially useful piece of information is the silver medal that led to Huang Tao's time travel.

It was this silver medal that inspired Roselle to later create the Blasphemy medal.

I'm a little curious to figure out what the symbols and patterns on this silver medal look like... If it can indeed be deciphered using the occult knowledge of this world, then time travel might not be a coincidence... Klein put down his diary, tapped his finger on the desk, and released the shield from the Tarot Club members.

“You can trade among yourselves,” Klein said with a smile, leaning back in his chair.

Then, he began to manipulate the "world" and said:

"Everyone, please keep an eye out for the Thousand-Faced Hunter's abnormal pituitary gland and blood, as well as the characteristics of the Human Skin Shadow and the Deep Sea Naga's hair."

Now that he has been promoted to magician, he naturally needs to start preparing the potions for the next generation of Faceless Men.

Because of Arthur's assassination of Ambassador Beckeron, Klein only received the initial five thousand pounds from Audrey.

Of the money, two thousand pounds were returned to Audrey as payment for stealing the Blasphemous Token, and Klein only spent a little over a thousand pounds of the remaining money to buy materials for the Magician's Potions.

However, he recently sold several more formulas, such as two formulas for the solar pathway, the astrologer's incomplete formula, the pharmacist's formula, and so on, which brought his savings back to around four thousand pounds.

If he's lucky, this money will be enough for him to buy all the materials for a Sequence 6 potion.

Therefore, he planned to have the members of the Tarot Club keep an eye out in advance so as not to miss it.

“Okay.” “Sun” Derrick answered first, but made no promise, because the Shadow of Human Skin and the Thousand-Faced Hunter were not monsters that were easy to encounter.

“The Thousand-Faced Hunter? I think I’ve seen its fossils before.” “Justice” Audrey replied thoughtfully, “Hmm, I’ll go back and check first.”
