"Those mushrooms were amazing; I've never eaten anything so delicious."
As soon as Little Sun Derrick said that, the atmosphere of the entire Tarot Club became subtle. Only Star Leonard, who knew nothing about Frank's mushrooms, looked left and right, showing a puzzled and curious expression.
"What mushrooms?" Leonard couldn't help but ask.
"Are you very curious?" Lin Ruo glanced at him and said with a smile, "If you're curious, I can send you a portion later."
"Ah… Oh, um, thank you." Leonard, whose intelligence had not completely gone offline, immediately realized something was amiss, but since Lin Ruo had said so, he really didn't dare to refuse and could only thank him with a forced smile.
But what kind of mushrooms were they?
Leonard became even more curious.
However, after this interruption, the topic of mushrooms was dropped, and the Tarot Club resumed its normal proceedings.
Since it was still the trading session, the remaining Tarot Club members naturally expressed their demands. For example, Magician Fors sought to purchase Meteorite Crystal and Lava Octopus Blood Crystal, which are the main ingredients for the Apprentice pathway's Sequence 7 Astrologer. Star Leonard, on the other hand, sought to purchase an Mystical Item corresponding to the Sequence 5 or Sequence 6 level. It was clear that with an old man supporting him, this guy truly wasn't short on money.
After the trading session ended, it was naturally the intelligence sharing session that everyone enjoyed. After a while of communication and sharing recent experiences, Mr. Fool announced the end of the Tarot Club.
Backlund, Sherlock's Detective Agency.
As soon as Lin Ruo opened his eyes, he picked up the cold black tea on the table and took a sip. He then looked at Klein, who had also opened his eyes, and directly said, "If I remember correctly, a Nightmare only needs two hours of sleep a day, right?"
"Ah?" Klein was stunned for a moment, then reacted, his expression becoming subtle, and he said, "Is that really okay?"
"There's nothing wrong with it. The more work he does, the more merits he can accumulate, and the sooner he can get promoted. How many people envy that?" Lin Ruo put down his teacup, his smile gentle and bright. "Don't worry, I won't intentionally torment him. It's just that that silly rabbit's lazy habit really needs to be changed."
"…You just need to be mindful of the extent." After thinking for a moment, Klein could only manage to blurt out this sentence.
He then thought of another matter and asked, "What are your plans for City of Silver?"
Regarding Lin Ruo's desire to push Little Sun Derrick to the forefront, Little Sun himself had noticed it, so how could Klein not see it?
His only confusion was probably what Lin Ruo wanted to do and what he could do.
"For the short-term goal, it's to wait for Frank to research results, so the citizens of City of Silver can eat well, and incidentally, boost their trust and favorability." Lin Ruo naturally had nothing to hide from Klein. He casually poured himself another cup of tea and said with a smile:
"As for the long-term goal, of course, it's to save City of Silver."
Klein was stunned upon hearing this, somewhat surprised yet not too surprised. He simply thought and said, "I remember you said that the exit of the Forsaken Land of the Gods is at the end of the Sonia Sea, and the state of the Forsaken Land of the Gods is similar to a Sealed state… Do you know how to open that Seal?"
"You could say that…" Lin Ruo nodded with a smile. He looked at Klein, but ultimately didn't reveal anything more, only saying, "But that's for later. It's not possible now. The people of the Forsaken Land of the Gods still have to endure for a while longer…"
Klein nodded, not surprised by the news.
Lin Ruo took a sip of tea, considering calling Adam.
"Hmm, I'll call tomorrow. I'm about to lend the Unshadowed Crucifix to Little Sun, so it would be awkward to see Adam now… Speaking of which, am I already calling him now?"
Thinking this, Lin Ruo got up and went to the bedroom to retrieve the Unshadowed Crucifix, handing it to Klein. He then tidied his clothes in front of the mirror, planning to go to Saint Samuel Cathedral now.
It wasn't purely because of Leonard's matter, but because Lin Ruo intended to exchange for the Sealed Artifact corresponding to the Ocean Songster characteristic.
After obtaining the Sealed Artifact, Lin Ruo also planned to visit Frank to understand his research progress, mainly to see if there had been any deviation like last time, to prevent the occurrence of a World Mushroom Day.
Of course, Lin Ruo wouldn't forget to ask for some mushrooms for Leonard.
"Why do I feel more and more like a social animal… Here's a joke: Angel of Judgment is at work."
Lin Ruo mumbled in his heart, skillfully switching to Traveler state, and left Sherlock's Detective Agency.
…
Forsaken Land of the Gods, City of Silver.
After a series of mental preparations, Derrick, who had already obtained the Unshadowed Crucifix, arrived at the round tower of the Twin Towers with a slightly nervous mood.
Due to the special circumstances of City of Silver, after explaining that he had an important matter to see the Chief, Derrick soon met Colin Iliad, the Chief of the Six-Member Council, in a room at the top of the tower.
This was not the first time Derrick had seen the Chief, but it was his first close-up contact with him. Just as he remembered, Mr. Demon Hunter's grizzled hair was still quite messy, clearly neglected. His face had deep nasolabial folds and remnants of old, either deep or distorted, scars. His shallow blue eyes were profound and weathered, as if they could see through people's hearts.
Facing such a gaze, it was impossible for Derrick not to be nervous and apprehensive, but thinking of the safety of City of Silver, he still calmed down and saluted the Chief with the proper City of Silver etiquette.
After he finished saluting, he heard Colin Iliad ask in a low voice:
"You have something very important to see me about."
"Yes, yes, Your Excellency Chief." Even though he had rehearsed it in his mind, Derrick still stammered a little when he actually spoke. He said with a slight urgency, "It's like this, Your Excellency Chief, I had a dream, where I dreamed of a black-haired, black-eyed Angel. He said he was a Angel of Judgment."
Colin Iliad's gaze sharpened, and his eyes immediately changed. He looked at Derrick with a very complex emotion in his eyes, so complex that Derrick could not distinguish the emotions within. "Did that Angel of Judgment say anything to you?"
"I, I don't remember…" Derrick replied somewhat guiltily, but thinking that Mr. Chariot himself was closely related to the Angel of Judgment, and that this was indeed the Angel of Judgment's intention, he suddenly became righteous again and said:
"But after I woke up, I found an Mystical Item in my hand. It was a gift from the Lord to the Angel of Judgment, and it corresponds to the Sun pathway's Sequence 4, Unshadowed."
