Derrick was somewhat surprised by "The Hanged Man's" suggestion: "No, don't go?"
Alger nodded: "I remember the last time the 'Fallen Creator' failed to descend in Backlund. You mentioned the ruins, didn't you? There was a statue of the 'Fallen Creator' there?"
Derrick nodded: "Yes!"
Fors weakly raised her hand and asked: "Um, are the 'Fallen Creator' you're all talking about the same as the 'True Creator'?"
This was her second time attending the gathering, and she found that the other members were quite friendly, but the topics they discussed were too advanced, and she felt a little overwhelmed.
However, through her experience just now, she also discovered that as long as she dared to ask, and as long as it didn't involve too confidential information, the other members were willing to answer her questions.
Audrey replied: "Yes. In addition, I've learned from my subordinates recently that some people are worshipping the 'True Creator' in the docks and the East Borough."
She had just visited the East Borough and the ports with Xio a few days ago, and it was shocking to her. At the same time, she learned from Xio's informants that some people were worshipping for the "True Creator."
But in order to prevent Fors from realizing how she obtained this information, Audrey used "I learned from my subordinates" to confuse Fors.
Fors had also heard Xio mention this: "The 'True Creator' once tried to descend in Backlund?"
"Yes," Audrey said. "But it was stopped by the Fool's Blessed."
Fors gasped: I didn't even know these things!
Hobert smiled and said: "This reminds me of something the Fool once said: This era, this Backlund, this East Borough, ports, and factory district, is truly a hotbed for evil god descents."
Fors felt the urge to cover her face: I'm just a Sequence 8, yet I'm discussing the issue of 'evil god descents' with everyone. It's like a dream!
Fors asked again: "Why is the 'True Creator', no, the 'Fallen Creator' also proselytizing in the 'Forsaken Land of the Gods'?"
Hobert glanced at Derrick: "Perhaps the people there are more desperate. As long as a god responds to them, they will believe in it.
"But this also highlights the preciousness of City of Silver. For thousands of years, they have still adhered to their beliefs and are still searching for hope.
"But the problem is with the god, what does it have to do with them? It's not like they made a mistake, why should they endure such suffering?"
Derrick's emotions were like a roller coaster. When he heard the "Emperor's" first sentence, he was in despair.
But when he heard the second sentence, he felt proud again.
But when he heard the third sentence, he was first angry and wanted to refute the "Emperor," but he didn't know how to argue, and in the end, he could only hang his head and sit there quietly.
Klein thought to himself: If I had abilities like "Lightning Strike," I would definitely strike the "Emperor." It's not the first or second time he's blasphemed the gods. Has he considered the "Fool's" feelings?
Alger simply pretended he didn't hear anything.
Audrey thought to herself: It's time for the "blasphemy" segment of each gathering again.
But she still reminded: "Mr. Emperor, some topics are not for us to discuss."
Hobert just smiled: "I have always been very respectful of the Fool, after all, He is helping the people of the 'Forsaken Land of the Gods' regain their light and giving them hope.
"Such a benevolent god is worthy of our faith and worthy of our trust!"
Derrick stared blankly at Mr. Emperor. He suddenly realized that after attending so many Tarot Gatherings, he seemed to no longer trust the "Omniscient and Omnipotent God" so much.
Klein nodded slightly: This flattery is not bad. Okay, the magnanimous Fool forgives you.
The giant hall was quiet for two or three seconds before Alger said: "Returning to the previous topic, since there is a statue of the 'Fallen Creator' in the ruins, it means that the people of that city-state once trusted this evil god.
"Even if the city-state has been destroyed, the evil god may still have some power left. For you, that is still fatal. The most important thing is that it is easy to bring some corruption back to City of Silver."
Derrick opened his mouth: "It's so dangerous!"
Alger said: "You can describe the city-state in more detail so we can jointly assess the degree of danger."
Derrick recalled for a moment before saying: "Besides the statue, there are also many incomplete murals and terrifying wraiths wandering around, but these have been cleared by the previous exploration team.
"I didn't see those murals with my own eyes. It is said that they record prophecies of the coming of the end and the 'Fallen Creator' saving believers, as well as corresponding bloody sacrificial rituals.
"In a certain mural, there are strange characters derived from Jotun. After roughly deciphering them, they mean: Rose Redemption."
Alger said: "With a statue, murals, and writing, I think the level of danger is very high. You shouldn't take the risk."
Derrick looked at the "Emperor" and saw that Mr. Emperor didn't speak, obviously agreeing with Mr. Hanged Man's opinion.
"Then what should I do?" Derrick was a little embarrassed: "The task must be accepted."
Alger smiled: "Nothing is mandatory.
"Before this task, will you participate in patrols? Find an opportunity to deliberately get injured by a monster. You can refer to past examples in City of Silver for the specific extent."
Audrey, Derrick, and Fors almost simultaneously thought in their hearts: This is also possible?
After a brief surprise and confusion, Derrick said: "But, but I don't have any patrol tasks recently."
Alger "Heh"ed: "Aren't you just becoming a 'Light Suppicant'? You can pretend that you haven't controlled the potion's power yet and are in danger of losing control.
"In this case, I think the higher-ups in City of Silver will definitely not take a 'dangerous item' that could explode at any time to explore, right?"
He carefully said: "There is a trick to this. As long as you keep your spirituality in a relatively dry state for two consecutive days, you can experience auditory hallucinations and symptoms of losing control. If you don't continue to squeeze your spirituality afterwards, the situation will improve within a week and you won't actually lose control.
"Of course, considering that City of Silver definitely has ways and measures to treat those with loss-of-control precursory symptoms, recovery should be faster, so you have to estimate the time well, preferably starting two or three days before departure."
Derrick listened dumbfounded, and after a long time, he seemed to mutter to himself: "Yes, yes, people with signs of losing control will be controlled and isolated at the bottom of the Round Tower to receive treatment."
Klein at the head of the bronze table sighed in his heart: Alas, a good, honest, and sincere child has been poisoned by an old fox.
Audrey was also stunned and felt that she had learned a good lesson.
Hobert thought to himself: "Commissar Dao's" level is really not to be underestimated.
