After a brief deliberation, "The Hermit" Cattleya made the most advantageous choice and spoke without showing any emotion:
"I'll first take a look at the common monsters around the Silver City before making a decision."
Another one trying to get something for nothing... Are all people who spend a long time at sea this good at fleecing others? Or is it that little "Sun" poses too well, making people unable to resist taking advantage of him... "The Fool" Klein instinctively excluded himself from the group of people trying to get something for nothing.
"Okay." "The Sun" Derrick, under the gaze of "Justice" and the others, agreed to "The Hermit" lady's request without a hint of hesitation.
He recalled the content and manifested it, listing the common monsters in the vicinity of the Silver City. However, it wasn't as detailed as last time, with quite a few omissions, after all, the "Sun" pathway's enhancement of memory was rather limited, and many days had passed.
"The Hermit" Cattleya took the material and seriously flipped through it.
The more she read, the more shocked she became, for the number of monster species far surpassed her imagination, by tens or even hundreds of times!
Most of these used ancient names. If she weren't a member of the "Moses Ascetic Order," which was pursued by knowledge, and had already reached Sequence 5, seen much, and knew a lot, she would have had no idea what those names truly referred to.
But even so, there were still many monsters she had never heard of, like the "shadows" in dreams and imagination that hide in the depths of darkness and never truly show themselves.
Where exactly was the Silver City? How could there be so many monsters? A dozen seconds later, Cattleya raised her head, her expression unchanged, and spoke in a steady tone:
"You will exchange it for the history of the Silver City."
"Alright." "The Sun" Derrick's eyes lit up, as if he saw the dawn of advancement.
With the help of Mr. "Fool", he quickly manifested the outline of a history textbook from the Silver City. Knowing from experience that a more complete and detailed account was far more valuable than the fruit of the Tree of Radiance, he held some back.
"The Hermit" Cattleya knew she was not Mr. "Fool" and could not ask the members to wait patiently while she read. So, after casually flipping through it and confirming its value, she asked hesitantly:
"How should I give you the fruit of the Tree of Radiance?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly thought of something and made a guess. She turned her head towards the head of the bronze long table and said:
"Mr. 'Fool', is it through sacrifice?"
This made "Justice" Audrey, who was on the same side and had already prepared an answer, visibly pause, swallowing the words she had been about to say back down.
"The Hermit" lady is very formidable and knowledgeable! She directly guessed the method of sacrifice and bestowment! Audrey controlled the subtle expressions on her face and clicked her tongue in admiration inwardly.
"Mn." Klein nodded slightly without further explanation.
He believed that a Pirate General, a Sequence 5 powerhouse of the "Mystery Pryer" pathway, could not possibly not know how to sacrifice. It was even one of their specialties. Besides, the other party already grasped the honorific name of "The Fool", so there was no issue of lacking the necessary conditions.
Indeed, when a true deity exists and witnesses the gathering, sacrifice and bestowment are the most convenient and safest transaction methods... And spiritual-level exchange can directly resolve the swap of knowledge... "The Hermit" Cattleya offered her thanks, then turned to "The Sun" and said:
"I'll complete it as soon as possible."
She seemed perfectly fine on the surface, but inside she was far from calm. Just from casually flipping through the material "The Sun" had provided, she found the Silver City truly bizarre.
Abandoned by the Lord, without a sun, nothing but an eternal, unchanging night and lightning flashing at alternating high and low frequencies. Strange and terrifying monsters lurking in the darkness without light. Barely managing to survive on Black-Faced Grass. Persisting for over two thousand years in the "Deep Dark Age." All of this was beyond the imagination of "The Hermit" Cattleya.
As a maritime powerhouse rich in knowledge and understanding of many secrets, she instantly associated the descriptions of time and events with one of the most famous concepts in history, "The Cataclysm"!
Immediately after, following this train of thought, she made a further conjecture:
"The Land of Abandonment"!
Suddenly, the figure that made people want to look up to appeared again in "The Hermit" Cattleya's mind, along with a slightly sighing remark:
"He spent his entire life looking for 'The Land of Abandonment'. He said it held the final answer to everything."
Could "The Sun" be from the "Land of Abandonment" that Emperor Roselle had searched for in vain? Could Mr. "Fool" connect to that place? No, perhaps He was exactly the one who had awakened from there... "The Hermit" Cattleya thought with shock and gravity.
She had just slightly underestimated the Tarot Club because the sequences of "The Moon", "Justice", "The Sun" and the others were not high, thinking that since Mr. "Fool" had only recently awakened, the members He could attract were obviously not of a high level. Now she had to readjust her understanding.
It involves the Land of Abandonment, the Church of Storms, the Church of the Earth Mother, the Loen nobility... Perhaps it must develop from the low sequences so that these members can rise to high positions in their respective circles without being suspected, playing more crucial roles... And I, am I here because of the Moses Ascetic Order, or Her Majesty the Queen? Cattleya seriously analyzed Mr. "Fool"'s purpose.
