The "Moon" Emlyn was also bewildered. Terms like "Redemption Rose", "Angel of Fate", and "breaking the cycle" were all outside his knowledge. He felt like he could understand each word individually, but when combined, they made no sense.
Could it be that the "Sun", who looked quite young, had just escaped an angel's pursuit? Emlyn guessed based on the small part he could understand.
After the "Sun" Derrick thanked Mr. "Fool", the "Hanged Man" slightly changed his sitting posture, turning sideways, and, starting from Miss "Justice"'s question, said in a calm tone:
"What exactly happened?"
Derrick didn't hide anything and answered frankly:
"Miss 'Justice', Mr. 'Hanged Man', Miss 'Magician', Mr. 'World', thank you for your concern and for your previous advice. In the sixth expedition, I tried to..."
He narrated his actions and the corresponding results in full, emphasizing the matter of the little boy Jack being from Enmat Port and the detailed content of the mural with the "Redemption Rose".
Enmat Port... That strange boy Jack was really from the Kingdom of Ruen. That is to say, the "God-abandoned Land" where the City of Silver lies is connected to the North and South Continents in some way. If you find the right method and location, it might be possible to enter... Klein listened with feigned leisure, making a certain judgment in his mind.
Enmat Port is located east of Tingen City, one of the most famous seaports in central Ruen. Together with Pritz Port, one in the north and one in the south, they supported more than half of Backlund's material supplies.
"Medium" Lady Daly once "lived" there, and Mr. Z of the Aurora Society seemed to be there as well... Klein recalled some past events.
The same judgment appeared in the minds of the "Hanged Man" Alger, "Justice" Audrey, and "Magician" Fors. Some felt pure excitement, while others were curious mixed with worry, afraid that the all-devouring darkness around the City of Silver would keep expanding and eventually engulf the North and South Continents and the Five Seas.
"The Chief told me that through previous events and my reminders, he thought of some content from ancient records whose truth is unknown. It is said that when 'The Lord who created all, the omniscient and omnipotent God' watched over this land, many angels surrounded Him. The leaders of these angels, the kings closest to the divine throne, numbered eight, including the Son of God," the "Sun" Derrick said slowly, recalling the words of "Demon Hunter" Colin, "He suspects that Amon is the 'Angel of Time' among the 'Kings of Angels', and the one on the mural is the 'Angel of Fate', 'Tail Devourer' Urolysis."
Eight "Kings of Angels"? The eight "Kings of Angels" closest to the Creator's divine throne? "Justice" Audrey felt inexplicably excited.
Unable to contain her curiosity, she asked:
"Mr. 'Sun', what are the titles and names of the other six 'Kings of Angels'?"
"The Chief didn't say, I didn't dare to ask..." The "Sun" Derrick replied somewhat shamefully.
I really want to know the answer... Audrey instinctively looked toward the head of the bronze long table, gazing at Mr. "Fool" shrouded in gray fog with longing, hoping for an answer.
She had already thought of what price she would be willing to pay for it.
Why are you looking at me... I don't know either... Klein held back a twitch at the corner of his mouth.
Of course, he wasn't completely clueless; he could barely guess who two of the "Kings of Angels" were.
"The evil spirit in the underground ruins described the Medici family as one of the founders of the 'Redemption Rose'. And from that mural, the 'Angel of Fate' Urolysis is highly likely one of the leaders of the 'Redemption Rose', their status roughly equal. That is to say, the Medici family had a 'King of Angels', but it's impossible to confirm whether He has fallen...
"The Medici family is suspected to control the 'Hunter' pathway, that is, the 'Red Priest' pathway. The title of that 'King of Angels' should be 'Red Angel' or 'Angel of War'...
"Since the Son of God is a 'King of Angels', and Amon is one of them, the 'Angel of Time', then Adam can't not be one, but I can't determine his title... As for the other four 'Kings of Angels', I can't guess who they are... Perhaps one or several of them are inside the 'Twilight Hermit Order'...
"Possible! The 'Twilight Hermit Order' is hostile to the 'Fallen Creator', corresponding to the 'Redemption Rose' that worships this evil god. Maybe they really originated from a few of the original 'Kings of Angels'...
"By the way, there's indirect, not very strong evidence. According to the City of Silver's myths and legends, the authority of the ancient god 'Dream Dragon' Ankearwill was taken back by that Creator. Logically, it's not impossible for the Lord who created all to share this authority with the 'King of Angels' beside His throne. And descriptions and guesses in Roselle's diary indicate that the 'Twilight Hermit Order' might possess 'Spectator', that is, the 'Dreamer' pathway's angel-level power, or even higher. The two can correspond... Hermès is someone who experienced that period of history..." As these thoughts flashed, Klein smiled slightly and said:
"You'll get in touch with them later."
When I figure it out, I'll sell the intelligence to you... he added in his mind.
Seeing that Mr. "Fool" didn't intend to answer, "Justice" Audrey felt a bit disappointed and withdrew her gaze, signaling little "Sun" to continue.
The "Hanged Man" Alger had a bold idea:
"The history before the Great Cataclysm is no longer verifiable. At the end of the Third Epoch, beginning of the Fourth Epoch, there were only six orthodox gods. Adding Amon and the 'Tail Devourer', doesn't that make exactly eight? Did they profit from the death of the Creator and successfully advance to Sequence 0?"
For a moment, Alger felt both that his thought was a blasphemous act punishable by burning at the stake and an uncontrollable excitement. He barely calmed down and focused on listening to little "Sun"'s story.
Confronted with all this, the "Moon" Emlyn could only respond with a bewildered expression.
Although the vampires had a long history and long lives, knowing much pre-cataclysm history, it was all concentrated on the time before the Ancestor fell asleep, not involving the so-called "Kings of Angels".
While the "Sun" Derrick was recounting the details of the City of Silver's Chief Colin breaking the cycle of fate, Klein was thinking about something else:
