Chapter 223 - Jane's Decision

"Just as Mr. Tower guessed at the last gathering, our City of Silver's former self, the Kingdom of Silver, was once ruled by the Giant King's Court. Therefore, the Beyonder chain we grasp is the Giant pathway. We also call it the Divine Blood Warrior pathway… We have the complete 9 to 4 potion formulas of this pathway, and three of the six-member council are Sequence 4 Demon Hunters of this pathway.

"Also, when we killed certain monsters and explored those destroyed cities, we obtained some potion formulas of other Sequences. However, the chains weren't complete and were more or less incomplete.

"For example, I mentioned Elder Lovia last time. The Shepherd she was in was a Sequence pathway found in those destroyed cities, but it only reached Sequence 5."

"In addition, as you know, giants and dragons are archenemies. Therefore, the City of Silver also has the Dragon Sequence 9, 8, and 7."

Due to the previous Tarot Gatherings where everyone was discussing the potion formula the most, Derrick, who didn't know what to say, gave a simple introduction of the City of Silver's formulas. He felt that this was what Miss Justice wanted to hear.

Furthermore, from the conversation I heard, I can tell that the lady opposite me is a Beyonder of the Dragon pathway… Derrick glanced at Miss Justice and thought silently.

"Dragon pathway?" Audrey asked in puzzlement.

"Telepathist is the Dragon pathway's Sequence 8. Behind it is Psyche Analyst." Seeing Miss Justice puzzled, Derrick thought that the way they addressed each other might be different, so he explained slightly.

So the Spectator Sequence originated from the dragons… Audrey was enlightened.

Just as she was about to ask about the other situations in the Forsaken Land of the Gods, she heard Mr. Fool, who was sitting at the seat of honor, rap his fingers on the edge of the ancient bronze table.

With regard to this, Audrey could only restrain her curiosity and look at the mysterious figure shrouded in gray fog.

Seeing everyone look over, Mr. Fool smiled and said,

"Let's end it here for today."

As the City of Silver was very unfamiliar with Justice and company in every aspect, it might take a very long time for The Sun to describe it again. Worried that he lacked spirituality, Klein had no choice but to forcefully end the gathering.

It was better to end it now than to be forced to end it midway through The Sun's story. Furthermore, he still needed to leave enough spirituality to activate the Door of Summoning.

"By your will." Upon hearing that, the three of them stood up in unison.

After severing the connection with the four members, Klein waited above the gray fog for a while. Then, he saw two Beyonder items and a neat stack of bills being sacrificed.

He didn't care about the suitcase with the wolf armor and the jewelry box containing the Fallen Morning Star Necklace. Instead, he held the gold pound that belonged to him and used the opportunity to verify its authenticity. Then, he nodded in satisfaction and cast his gaze on the other two items.

Using divination, he confirmed the negative effects and powers of the Wolf Armor. After confirming that it wasn't too different from Mr. Tower's description, he used his spirituality to trigger the Sun star and threw the suitcase containing the Wolf Armor along the quickly opened Door of Summoning.

Then, Klein picked up the jewelry box containing the Morning Star of Depravity and opened it. The necklace with five beautiful gems of different colors appeared in front of him.

The real thing looks even better than the display… According to Mr. Tower, these gems are actually scales of some kind of dragon? That dragon must be very rich…

Klein played with the necklace for a while, but he didn't immediately divine its origins.

Although he had learned through spirit dowsing that the root of the necklace wasn't too dangerous, he still decided to "court death" after his spirituality was completely restored.

With this in mind, Klein put down his necklace and quickly plummeted into the gray fog, leaving the mysterious space.

After sacrificing the gold pounds and two Beyonder items to the gray fog, Ebner tidied up the altar, but he was in no hurry to remove the wall of spirituality.

The last part of BaronConva's diary that he translated above the gray fog left him a little uneasy. After activating the White Eye, he even had a vague feeling that he might have some interactions with him. If he didn't make sufficient preparations, it would be difficult for him to escape unscathed even if he had The Fool backing him.

After some serious thought, Ebner decided to first write a letter to Jane and ask her what exactly had happened to her ancestor's tomb. Since the baron was also a descendant of that existence who slumbered in the depths of the Underworld, there was no harm in knowing more.

After writing the letter, Ebner took out the copper whistle that Jane had previously delivered, brought it to his mouth, and blew hard.

A huge, terrifying, illusory skeleton messenger quickly appeared, still standing on the floor of the bedroom, completely unfazed by the fact that its head had drilled into the ceiling.

Ebner had no choice but to raise his head again and throw the envelope at the messenger.

After the summoning ended, Ebner played with the copper whistle and muttered to himself,

"I wonder if Jane will tell me…" It was her secret after all.

After that, he removed the spirituality seal, changed his clothes, and stopped a rental carriage.

After giving the carriage driver one soli, the carriage drove him to Rose Street south of the Bridge.

On the Future which was slowly cruising through the waters of the Rorsted Archipelago.

Jane, who had long hair, was sitting in a dark cabin with a black hood. In front of her was an item with the words "crystal ball," "mirror," "tarot card," and opposite the table was a rather boorish-looking pirate, but he had already fallen asleep.

After a while, the pirate slowly woke up with a confused expression.

"Your problem has been resolved, Heath. Remember to stay away from Frank's laboratory when you're drunk… If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't use a more troublesome Spirit Body for the suturing experiments that day, you probably would've had to ask Captain for help to lessen the pain of your death," Jane said in an ethereal voice.

"Thank you, Madam Lydia," the pirate named Tess returned to his senses and said with a look of gratitude. He found the pain from before terrifying just thinking about it.

After the pirate man retreated, Jane pulled down her hood. Just as she was about to do her research, she suddenly had a thought. She looked at the deck in front of her where bones were already spewing out like a fountain. A huge messenger nearly four meters tall quickly took form.

When the messenger saw Jane, it knelt respectfully and bowed its head, handing a letter to her with both hands.

Seeing the letter, Jane's mood immediately brightened, but after reading the contents, she frowned deeply and said to herself,

"Did he encounter some trouble? Otherwise, he wouldn't have written to ask about this…"

With this in mind, Jane hurriedly wrote a reply and handed it to the messenger to bring back to Abner. Then, she left the cabin and walked down the corridor and down the stairs to the captain's cabin at the highest level.

After knocking on the door and receiving permission, Jane walked in and saw a black-haired lady in a classic robe. She was none other than Admiral of Stars Cattleya.

"Jane, ever since you opened the spirit channeling room on the ship, the mess caused by those worrying fellows hasn't been reported to me for a long time… It's been hard on you."

Cattleya first let out a poignant sigh before using her eyes that had a hint of mystery to carefully size up Jane. She asked in puzzlement, "Why are you looking for me at this time?"

"Captain, I'd like to return to Backlund in the near future. I have some things to take care of… Well, it won't take long. I'll be back soon, even if it's my vacation for this month… What do you think?" Jane asked, deliberating over her words.

"Do you need help?" Cattleya asked after a moment of silence.

"I don't know yet… If I really need it, I'll ask you for help," Jane replied after some thought.

"In three days, the Future will dock in the waters about 200 kilometers south of Pritz Harbor, Quela. It will set sail on Sunday night at the same time. During this period, you can move freely." Cattleya nodded slightly and didn't ask why as she said it directly.

"Thank you, Captain."

Backlund, South of the Bridge, Harvest Church.

After the sermon, in the eyes of ordinary people, Bishop Utravsky, who was already half the height of a giant, put down the Holy Bible in his hand, looked around at the people in the prayer hall who were gradually leaving, and said in relief,

"Finally, a believer is willing to listen to the teachings of the benevolent mother."

Then, he turned to Miss Hazel who was wiping the candle stand, and said with a smile,

"It's all thanks to you."

"No, Father, your efforts have moved them." Hazel didn't stop what she was doing, but her tone was rather serious.

Although her father had introduced some people who were willing to listen to the teachings of the Mother Goddess, they wouldn't have really changed faiths if they hadn't felt Bishop Utravsky's charm.

Seeing that the believers had left, Bishop Utravsky looked down at the busy lady and chuckled.

"Your good nature is also an important factor that moved them… I know that you had privately helped them resolve some problems."

Upon hearing that, Miss Hazel immediately panicked. She didn't even dare to look up at the priest as she stammered, "I… I just never knew… I didn't know that there would be such shameless relatives… That's why I helped Lady Norma…"

"There's no need to be nervous, child. A friendly 'theft' doesn't violate the teachings of Earth Mother, not to mention that those things don't belong to that family, to begin with… And the appropriate 'acting' does help your mental state," Bishop Utravsky said kindly.

Hazel was just about to say something when she suddenly heard a creak at the door. Turning her head, she saw Detective Bryan, who she had mixed feelings about, push open the door and enter.
