Mystery: A Spark

Even if your chief trusts you, you shouldn't openly attend tarot meetings in front of him afterwards; you should at least pretend to.

Like Emlyn White later on, he can be considered a model of being ordained to believe in a mysterious existence.

Even though he and the vampire leaders were both aware of the situation, they didn't break the ice, because having that ice was better than not having it at all.

Well done! Klein cheered inwardly. He was just wondering how to remind Little Sun about this without losing face.

Chapter 79 Oath

The tarot session has ended.

In reality, Arthur slowly opened his eyes.

Overall, he has achieved his goal at this tarot meeting.

His suggestions to Derrick would give Derrick greater freedom and access to more resources than in the original story.

Moreover, in the original story, Derrick had already become an Extraordinary being of the Solar Path when he attracted Colin's attention.

In Colin's eyes, his recipe was actually of dubious origin.

This meant that Colin, due to a lack of trust in Derrick, never tried to make others become Solar Pathway Extraordinaries.

But now, thanks to Arthur's advice, Derrick handed over the formula to Colin while he was still an ordinary person.

Therefore, Derrick's entire promotion process will inevitably come under Colin's observation.

In other words, Derrick was essentially promoted under Colin's supervision.

Therefore, his trust in this recipe was naturally much higher than in the original work.

In this way, as long as Colin is not mentally unstable, he will inevitably have an idea.

That is, to make some of the other residents of Silver City also become extraordinary beings of the Solar Path, thereby increasing their safety when going out to explore.

For a place like Silver City, shrouded in darkness, the significance of the solar pathway is self-evident.

This is what we call creating demand where there is none; where there is demand, there will be a market.

Arthur naturally wouldn't compete with Klein for the recipes for the first two sequences, since Klein had suffered greatly to obtain them.

As for the recipe that follows, Arthur is going to make a good profit from it.

Moreover, even if Silver City has abundant extraordinary resources, it is impossible for them to possess all the extraordinary materials.

Therefore, they will definitely have a need for extraordinary materials in the future.

Bernadette, who was born in Intis, must have had clues to the extraordinary materials she possessed.

If that doesn't work, Arthur can always hunt down Extraordinary beings from the Solar Path and then dismantle and sell them for their Extraordinary traits.

In short, this will definitely be a sizable market.

Arthur gave this market a nice name: Triangle, or rather, Glorious Trade.

It means to bring light and hope to the city of Silver.

Hmm, just thinking about it made Arthur feel like he had accumulated a lot of merit.

Just as he was lost in his fantasies, a childish voice suddenly rang out beside him.

"Arthur, your smile is so sinister."

"How can you talk like that? That's clearly a smile of wisdom, okay? Your choice of words is really problematic." Arthur picked up the little one beside him in annoyance and stroked him a couple of times.

"But your smile was clearly sinister," Arthas muttered under his breath.

"What did you say?" Arthur grabbed the puppy by the scruff of its neck and lifted it up.

"I was wrong~" The little thing immediately admitted defeat as soon as it was mentioned.

“That’s more like it.” Arthur put it back in his arms.

Arthas, lying on Arthur's stomach, asked with some confusion:

"Arthur, why do I feel like you weren't sleeping just now?"

What the hell? This little thing actually detected Mr. Fool pulling people? Arthur was immediately taken aback.

He asked with a calm smile:

"If I'm not sleeping, then what do you think I'm doing?"

"I felt like you weren't here just now."

Arthas said with a somewhat dejected expression:

"However, I know it's your secret, so it's okay if you don't tell me. I don't mind at all."

"You brat, trying to pull this on me? Have you forgotten who taught you this?" Arthur flicked Arthas's ear and said irritably.

This little rabbit... this little puppy, is actually trying to play the tea ceremony with him.

"Hehe, I was just worried about you." Arthas rubbed his hand against Arthur's.

"Don't worry, there won't be any danger, I promise you," Arthur said with a light laugh.

“Then you have to promise not to do anything dangerous in the future,” Arthas said earnestly, looking at Arthur.

"Uh......"

"You hesitated!" Alsassin shouted angrily.

"Arthas," Arthur began, laying out the facts and reasoning, speaking earnestly:

"Once you step into the extraordinary world, danger is everywhere, and it is very difficult to live a peaceful life."

Not to mention that the world will end in just a few years, at which point stability will be a luxury.

"Really?" Arthas's mood truly plummeted this time.

"Really, so all I can promise you is that I won't actively seek out trouble I can't handle." Arthur solemnly made this promise to the little one in his arms.

Of course, this is a promise with added conditions.

“Alright, but we have to high-five to seal the deal, and you can’t go back on your word.” Arthas raised his front paw.

Arthur opened his palm and touched it with its little paws.

Then he placed Arthas on the bed and said to it:

"Alright, the vow has been made. I'll go out and buy some ingredients, and I'll cook you something delicious tonight."

“Okay!” Arthas replied.

After Arthur left, Arthas lay down.

It hesitated for a moment and said softly:

"A fool who doesn't belong to...this era...have you ever heard of him?"

"..."

“I don’t believe it. Arthur promised me there would be no danger,” Arthas said, flicking his tail.

"..."

"Of course I trust my master, otherwise why would I trust you? I don't even know your name."

"..."

"Narzdo? Never heard of him. Never mind, I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to sleep."

Arthas burrowed into the covers, looking like he was refusing to listen to any of the nonsense.

......

The Silver City, the Berg family.

Derrick looked around at the familiar surroundings and at the dark sky outside where lightning flashed, and for a moment he felt a little disoriented.

But he quickly came to his senses, found some parchment and a quill pen, and quickly wrote down the "hymn" formula that he had forcibly memorized.

He looked at it several times and finally confirmed that there was no problem.

After finishing his prayers to Mr. Fool, he hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered his courage and headed to the Round Tower, where the Council of Six was headquartered.

Upon arriving at the Round Tower, Derrick stated that he had urgent business to report. After being informed, he was led by the extraordinary guards to the room where the chief resided.

“Derrick Berg, what do you need to report?” Colin asked in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency," Derrick said, bowing first, then mustering his courage.

"I... I joined an extraordinary gathering hosted by a mysterious being, and luckily obtained a Sequence Nine Singer's Recipe from it."

Chapter 80 Hello, Mr. Azik

Before today, Derrick had never lied.

So he had no experience in lying, and simply followed Mr. "Chariot's" original words.

After saying that, Derrick handed the Sycamore formula he had just written to Chief Colin.

Colin glanced at Derrick with some surprise, then took the formula from him and quickly read it.

After a moment's thought, the chief asked Derrick:

"Can you confirm the reliability of this potion recipe?"

“Yes, yes, I can use myself as a test subject,” Derrick replied hastily.

After he finished speaking, the room fell silent. Colin's eyes flashed with a green light as he carefully observed Derrick for a while.

After a long silence, he said:

"Okay, I will send someone to deliver the ingredients for the recipe to you. This can be considered as credit for submitting the recipe this time."

"If nothing goes wrong, you can submit the accumulated merits of formulas for subsequent sequences in the future, just like this time."

"Once you have enough merit, you can exchange it for extraordinary materials, if Silver City has them."

Colin handed the formula back to Derrick, saying softly:

"If there's nothing else, go back and rest."
