Chapter 1078: The Hidden Secret

Saint of Secrets Botis... Fors had experienced many things recently, to

the point of being watched by a King of Angels, so she didn't show any

signs of abnormality. She retracted her gaze in a natural manner and

didn't slow down her pace as she walked towards the man in the black

trench coat.

After a few steps, they brushed past each other.

...Did he happen to pass by here because of the attraction between

Beyonder characteristics? If he knew that Teacher was here, he wouldn't

be so slow and would use Teleport to chase after him... Luckily, Teacher

has already boarded the carriage and left the inn... Fors's heart calmed

down, her tense mind relaxing a little.

She took a few more steps forward and looked up at the sky. She wanted

to confirm if it would rain later.

At this moment, a raven flew over and landed on a tree along the way. It

faced the spot where Fors had just passed by.

Fors stopped thinking about Saint of Secrets Botis as she maintained her

speed and left the street.

As the Aurora Order hadn't held a gathering in Backlund for a long

period of time, and with the target being a demigod, Fors didn't have

any thoughts of seeking revenge for her teacher. Ignoring her lack of

combat strength, just finding and locking onto a Secrets Sorcerer was a

nearly impossible task.

...It's best that I wait till I become a Traveler. I might encounter

Botis by chance before entrusting Mr. World the corresponding mission.

I'll take the time to save up money... Now, it's certain that the Aurora

Order has saints in Backlund... Hmm, I can't eliminate the possibility

that during Botis's "Travel" elsewhere today, he was influenced by the

attraction force of Beyonder characteristic and had accidentally lost

his way in Backlund... Fors very naturally considered looking for The

World Gehrman Sparrow's help.

From what she knew, this gentleman had killed two demigods with his own

hands, and he had only become a demigod for three months!

In the upper echelons of the seven Churches, they only have about ten

demigods... Based on Mr. World's progress, it will take him at most two

years to wipe out the powerhouses of a Church... Of course, the real

world isn't an ideal measurement... Having received higher education,

Fors, who had been a surgeon, gradually let her thoughts wander. She

walked to the street and boarded a rental carriage.

Above the gray fog, there was a mini-gathering with The Sun Derrick, The

Hanged Man Alger, and The World Gehrman Sparrow.

However, unlike before, Mr. Fool was present as the witness because The

Sun's main motive was to find out which Sealed Artifact could please

this great existence, as well as to exchange it for the cross left

behind by the Creator.

At the same time, he still had some questions to consult Mr. Hanged Man

and Mr. World about, so he had applied for a private exchange.

Sword of Silverdawn, Twilight Mask, Life's Cane, Fallen Flute... These

were all items that have outstanding powers and negative effects, ones

that require sealing. This also confirms that the City of Silver doesn't

have any Beyonders from the Artisan pathway. All the spoils can only be

formed naturally. Even with a godlike Sealed Artifact, they can shatter

the characteristics, but they are unable to reform them in a better

way... As The Fool Klein listened to Little Sun's description, he

quickly analyzed the pros and cons of different Sealed Artifacts in his

mind.

The first thing he did was eliminate the Twilight Mask because the

negative effects of the Sealed Artifact from the City of Silver's first

Chief were too great.

Although Klein could let his marionette wear this mask and cut off the

aural senses; thus, avoiding the continuous howls and screams.

Furthermore, he didn't have to worry about his marionette becoming a

slave to the Twilight Mask. However, in that case, his actual body might

become a member of the dead who died suddenly for no reason.

Following that, Klein similarly gave up the Fallen Flute for the same

reasons. This Sealed Artifact's ability to predict danger ahead of time

was indeed better than the Desire Apostle in Creeping Hunger. It was

alluring, but the negative effects were also not easy to avoid.

If Klein used this flute with his actual body, he would gradually turn

cold and lose his normal emotions. This would be completely

contradictory with the concept of using humanity to battle godhood to

maintain balance. And if he were to hand it over to his marionette, he

would experience a significant decrease in his mental facilities and

easily make mistakes. This caused him to lose his main advantage as a

Beyonder of the Seer pathway.

In addition, this flute will make the people around it give themselves

up to degeneration and desires. I don't want the residents on Boklund

Street to be degenerates who give up on their morals. By then, how many

illegitimate children will be born... I can only consider the Sword of

Silverdawn and Life's Cane... Klein mumbled silently before quickly

choosing between two.

The Sword of Silverdawn's head engraving seemed to have a living

characteristic. To Klein, this meant that communication was possible,

and as long as they could communicate, the negative effects could

naturally be reduced. As for the height restriction, he could just

ignore his thickness and only focus on his height. After all, this

didn't affect a Clown due to its extremely high sense of balance.

Regarding the problem of mutation with Life's Cane, he could avoid it by

handing it to his marionettes. When he lost or gained any organs, he

could heal himself with Flower of Blood. And causing the surroundings to

be filled with vitality, allowing for lush growth wasn't much of a

negative effect.

Since the negative effects of the two Sealed Artifacts weren't too

serious, he had to consider their effects. The Sword of Silverdawn was clearly from a Demon Hunter of the Warrior pathway. Be

it attacks or defense, they were both potent. It could hide his

malintent and be good at dealing with Devils. As for Life's Cane, it was

good at creating and causing mutations, which made it rather sinister.

After a few seconds of consideration, when Derrick asked for the answer,

The Fool Klein spoke unhurriedly, as though he was discussing something

ordinary.

"The cane."

In the end, he decided on Life's Cane!

In fact, the Sword of Silverdawn and Life's Cane had their own pros,

making it a tough decision. Klein's final decision stemmed from an

uncommon reason:

The sinister Life's Cane could be described as bizarre, so it could

effectively aid him in acting as a Bizarro Sorcerer and raise his potion

digestion speed!

"Yes, Mr. Fool!" Derrick replied, unable to hide his joy.

This meant that when he completed the sacrificial and bestowment ritual,

he would obtain the cross from the Creator. After determining this, he

cast his gaze at the figure at the bottom of the long bronze table.

"Mr. World, other than the complete brain of an adult mind dragon, do

you still need a relatively high Sequence potion formula for the Planter

pathway?"

As the secret passage of the Giant King's Court was shared by The World,

he became the target of Derrick's question, and not Mr. Fool.

Of course, to Derrick, The World was Mr. Fool's Blessed. His answer

represented Mr. Fool's intentions to a certain extent.

A relatively high Sequence potion formula for the Planter pathway...

Sitting at the end of the long bronze table, The Fool Klein immediately

had a headache and fell into an intense internal struggle.

He could roughly understand what the Chief of the City of Silver's

thought process was. On the one hand, this experienced Demon Hunter

hopes that he can usher in a bright future through the Giant King's

Court's exploration, while on the other hand, he's still cautious and

doesn't hold much hope. He's prepared to continue staying in the

darkness, so he mentioned the Planter potion formula to see if Mr. Fool

has the corresponding authority, or rather, does the faction that "He"

watches over have a need for it. If this could bring about certain

feedback, it would effectively improve the survival of the City of

Silver.

Meanwhile, on Klein's end, Frank Lee had recently come to believe that

he's just one step away from his research goals. When he becomes a

Druid, he should be able to succeed. This made Klein very hesitant on

whether he should give him a push.

...I don't know what the future holds... I'll just focus on what's in

front of me. A Sequence 5 Beyonder who doesn't even have godhood

wouldn't be able to do anything too serious. Furthermore, Ma'am Hermit

is already a demigod. It's not a big problem for her to watch out for

Frank...Klein thought for a moment and let The World Gehrman Sparrow

say, "Sequence 5."

"What if there's more?" Derrick pressed.

Klein felt like he was being tested. After a few seconds of silence, he

said, "If your side is willing to give it, then that works..."

"Alright." Derrick didn't probe any further. Instead, he asked the

person beside him, "Mr. Hanged Man, I have a strange feeling about this.

Why did the Chief suddenly mention the relatively high Sequence potion

formula of the Planter pathway?"

The Hanged Man Alger looked at The World Gehrman Sparrow and said, "This

should be a test from your Chief, to see if the City of Silver can

change its environment.

"I remember you mentioning that you only know that the Goddess of

Harvest is the Giant King's queen, and according to the records of the

Sanguine from The Moon, the Goddess of Harvest is named Omebella. Your

City of Silver originally believed in 'Her.'

"I was originally only certain that the name Omebella was real, so I

didn't have any inclination towards other explanations. Now, with your

Chief suddenly taking out a relatively high Sequence potion formula that

you didn't know before, this makes me suspect that The Moon is right.

"This means that your City of Silver hid the fact that they once

believed in the Goddess of Harvest. They even deliberately didn't

mention 'Her' true name.

"There must be a huge secret behind this."

"A huge secret..." Derrick thought seriously but couldn't think of any

secret.

Fortunately, this wasn't an important matter to him. He quickly ended

the private conversation and returned to the City of Silver to prepare

for the exchange of Sealed Artifacts.
