Secret: The years I served as a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

Chapter 473 Shocking Secret

Da da da.

Klein followed Colin Iliad down the stairs and quickly entered the bottom of the round tower, approaching the sealed objects collected by the City of Silver.

There are plenty of extraordinary materials in the God-Forsaken Land, but the environment is harsh, dangers are frequent, and there are few extraordinary people, so there should be more Sealed Artifacts... Klein had this thought in his mind, and felt that it was a bit of a joke. After carefully asking the chief, he learned that the number of mid- and high-sequence Sealed Artifacts in the Silver City's collection - that is, Level 2 and Level 1 Sealed Artifacts - was actually quite large, and there were more than ten Level 1 items.

"These are all the remains of the former elders and chiefs."

Klein nodded slightly. He could see that more than half of the seals here corresponded to the warrior path.

He carefully observed these sealed objects and found that most of them were kept in a relatively "safe" state. They would not suddenly have negative effects and could be quickly made into potions when needed.

As for the spiritual imprint… it is not a problem here. Silver City is cursed with incest, and under the deliberate arrangement of the six-member council, the residents of Silver City can almost guarantee the blood relationship of about three generations, ensuring that there will be no situation where the injured are dying, unable to move but no relatives to help. Of course, if such a situation really occurs, people can only be ruthless and move the injured out of Silver City.

In other words, everyone is a relative, and they all have a certain similarity with the spiritual imprints in extraordinary items. After being superimposed generation after generation, they will become more stable when they become potions, reducing the chance of losing control.

But this is definitely not a good thing.

Colin Iliad walked quietly ahead, holding a torch, lighting tallow candles on the walls along the way.

Although darkness is no longer dangerous, people still keep the habit of setting up light sources around them. He led Klein into the bottom of the round tower and said calmly, "As you can see, Silver City mainly focuses on the warrior path. We don't have the good fortune and gifts of Moon City, which had the formulas and rituals of all paths a thousand years ago. Even if some are lost, there are still other promotion paths to choose from."

The two cities had conducted some exchanges before, with the high priest and the council exchanging letters, which was also the instruction of this "fool".

"The Seal Artifacts corresponding to Sequence 4 left behind by the previous elders and chiefs are usually inherited by the next generation."

Colin paused for two seconds before continuing, "It is rare that the two pathways are different. However, Derrick Berg has verified that my previous Chief accidentally obtained the Sequence 3 formula of the adjacent pathway, 'Death', and built a mausoleum, but unfortunately failed to advance in the mausoleum. I did not inherit his Beyonder characteristics."

"Derrick gave us a guess, and subsequent investigations revealed that his guess was completely correct. The spell he provided also came in handy at the most critical moment, allowing Silver City to escape a catastrophic disaster."

Klein nodded.

What turned the tide at that time was the life-saving item "Luck Stealer Charm" given to Derrick by the "Fool" and then given to Colin by Derrick. As one of the onlookers at the time, Klein remembered everything clearly. Colin thought that Gehrman Sparrow was a messenger of God, and Derrick's choice at that time was very correct, so he praised him in front of the messenger of God.

"Derrick was outstanding."

"Yes, he is very smart and a very observant person."

Communication between adults is so complicated... Klein responded calmly, and sighed in his heart that the little "Sun" probably prefers the Chief and himself to praise him directly, rather than these roundabout ways.

Soon, Klein arrived at the underground sealing room.

All major forces like to place these dangerous things several meters or even dozens of meters underground to prevent them from getting out of control and causing disasters.

Under Colin's guidance, Klein looked at them one by one. He rejected those that were too dangerous and uncontrollable, and those that required sacrifice before use. However, he approached and touched those whose negative effects he thought could be utilized, to confirm that he could summon them from the historical projection when necessary.

Anyway, he doesn’t have any secret doll now, so he doesn’t take up any place.

Klein regretted that he had posed too much outside Moon City. He was afraid of Amon and did not go directly to the bottom of Moon City to see the sealed objects there. But he only regretted it in his mind. If he really went in, he would probably never come out.

"Can I go and see your divine sealed object?"

Wandering in the dimly lit underground, Klein asked casually.

Derrick once mentioned that Silver City had two god-level sealed objects, which were level 0 in the outside world. One of them was called the "Crown of Glory", and according to the official information released by Silver City, it was the crown once worn by the giant king Ormir, but there was no information about the other one.

The first one was so impressive that Klein couldn't help but be curious about the other one, but he couldn't find any information on it. Could it be like 0-08, with the special and terrifying feature of "you know it, and it knows you"? But that was a special seal of the "audience" high sequence, and it didn't seem like it would be used by the City of Silver.

"I have the extraordinary ability to gain power from history, so I want to take a look at those two god-level sealed objects. Maybe they will be helpful."

Klein explained it again, saying that he had no ill intentions.

As he spoke, he also took out the "Staff of Life", an item temporarily loaned by the City of Silver, from the historical projection to dispel Colin's doubts.

The chief said nothing and narrowed his eyes slightly.

After a second or two, Colin retracted his gaze, looked at the dark front and said, "There are two god-level sealed objects in Silver City. One of them is called the 'Crown of Glory'. It has the ability to break lies, disguises, and examine the mind. It corresponds to the warrior path, but the specific sequence is not clear."

"What about the second one?" Klein asked.

Colin did not speak. Instead, he began to stare at the messenger with an inquiring look. Klein immediately realized from his eyes that the origin of this sealed object might be greater, greater than the crown of the Giant King, or it might involve some ancient secrets, which might attract the attention of certain beings in the outside world and bring unpredictable dangers to the City of Silver and himself.

The chief should be thinking, thinking whether to tell me this secret...hiss, this must be the last trump card of the Silver City, right? They didn't use it when Amon attacked, but now they have to...

Klein didn't say anything. He just stared at Colin without blinking.

After a moment, a minute or two of silence, Colin seemed to have made a decision. He once again looked deeply at Klein and said slowly:

"Your Excellency, if this is the will of the gods, I will tell you a secret. Currently, I am the only one in the entire Silver City who knows this."

...Did he take my casual remark as a hint from The Fool? Klein was somewhat puzzled. He believed that the god The Fool he played had always been incorruptible and upright. At least he would not let his messenger seize the seal of his followers just because the seal was so powerful, nor would he hand you over to possible enemies... But he didn't know what to say, so he could only wait quietly for the next words.

At this point, Colin Iliad looked up at German Sparrow. His face, which was obviously exhausted, had a layer of solemnity and a hint of bitterness, which was not at all fake like an improvisation:

"That secret is related to the second divine seal of our Silver City."

"It's called 'Gift of the Earth'."

“Gift of the Earth…” Klein listened to the name. “This should be an item from the ‘farmer’ path, just like Frank who gave you mushrooms and other food.”

"That's what we guessed too."

The chief nodded: "So we respectfully call him 'Abundance'."

Klein nodded thoughtfully. "Sure enough, it's because there is a 'Harvest Goddess' in the giant mythology circulating in the City of Silver."

These two words have similar pronunciations in Giant language, perhaps because they were once used to describe the Giant Queen.

Colin Iliad sighed and continued:
"Yes."

"It is precisely because of it that black-faced grass can grow in the area around Silver City, which prevents us from sinking completely in the Dark Ages..."

Klein's pupils suddenly dilated slightly:

"Is the black-faced grass derived from this seal?"

He remembered clearly that the general education textbook regarded the discovery of black-faced grass as a key turning point in the history of Silver City, and believed that if there was no such safe and harmless staple food, Silver City might have become a paradise for monsters long ago. Silver City's innate conditions were not as good as Moon City's, and its population and overall strength were not as good as Moon City's. Without safe food, they would really have been drowned in the dark world long ago.

At this moment, Klein thought of many things.

He finally understood why the mushrooms he gave him mutated in Silver City, with their growth cycles shortened, their effects enhanced, and even becoming larger. This was different from the product description Frank had originally given him.

So, your curse is actually...

After a brief silence, Colin Iliad's eyes swept across his face, and his voice suddenly became low:
"You guessed it right. It is because of it that we bear the cursed fate. Only those who are killed by their immediate family members will not become terrible evil spirits."

"The 'abundance' we have obtained has come at a price."

At this point, Colin's tone changed slightly, and he sincerely thanked Mr. Fool and Frank Lee for sending the mushrooms:

“So, after seeing Mr. Frank’s work, we know what true abundance should look like.”

Colin Iliad, with gray hair and a tired expression, looked dazed for a moment, as if he also remembered his father, mother, brother, sister, eldest son, youngest son, daughter and eldest grandson who were killed by his own hands.

Klein's expression froze.

His voice became erratic:

"Lovia once said that after leaving the City of Silver, none of the dead soldiers turned into evil spirits. I didn't tell her that this was the truth at the time, because the 'Gift of the Earth' covers a wide area, and most of the dying people can't leave the corresponding area in time."

"This is a secret that only every chief can master. I work hard to explore and fight, hoping that people in the future will no longer have to endure this kind of pain."

"Wait a minute, Mr. Chief."

Klein suddenly thought of something. The word "abundance" was like a clue, connecting something between Chief Colin's words. These chaotic and vague thoughts circled back and forth in his mind. Suddenly, he seemed to catch a flash of inspiration, and his voice rose unnaturally:

"Why do you call the 'Gift of the Earth' also 'Abundance'? Does this item have any connection with the 'Harvest Goddess'?"

The obviously old Chief of Silver City exhaled slowly and gave Klein a tired smile:

“You found it.”

Klein's breathing unconsciously became a little faster. The secret that the City of Silver had been trying to avoid was about to be revealed in front of him.

Colin Iliad added solemnly:
"Yes, because Omibella has died a long time ago. His body is in the Silver City, which is the 'Gift of the Earth'..."

He seemed to have been thinking about this for a long time before he finally said it:
"As early as when Derrick revealed the names of the gods from the outside world, I was curious about who the 'Mother Goddess of the Earth' who formed an alliance with the 'God of War' was. Because the 'God of War' seemed to be the eldest son of the Giant King, and the Silver City had records of Omibella's death, but there was no record of anyone who succeeded him to become a god..."

Who killed the Giant Queen?

……

Who became the true God of the 'Earth' path?
The two old friends who had not expected to get such a shocking news while playing Lord of Mysteries (Youth Edition) are now lost in thought.

The Demon of Knowledge slowly grabbed another handful of melon seeds. When He was still in the Western Continent, He liked to think about problems while eating melon seeds. He vaguely remembered that this should be a small preference left to Him by the 145th martyr. He stuffed the seeds into his mouth without tasting them, including the shells. His eyes kept flashing with a torrent of data, extracting information from ancient secrets.

But no matter how He calculated, the conclusion He reached was the general consensus among the current high-level extraordinary knowledge:
The Mother Goddess of the Earth is the successfully promoted Giant Queen Omibella.

There is no such thing in the spirit world, the data is wrong... No matching items were found in the current myths and legends... Maybe I have to ask Qi Guang.

The status of the Seven Lights in the Spirit World is similar to that of the Angel Gods, but they are much more useful than normal Angel Gods. In addition, they coexist with the Era, so they must know a lot of secret information - it's just that they are not powerful, and they are still vassals of the Spirit World, so they will conceal the news for various reasons.

Edward thought for a while, and suddenly asked in a questioning tone:

"secret?"

The Demon of Knowledge didn't know much about the Goddess of Night and the power of secrets, but after quickly grasping the information, he nodded immediately: "Yes, without secrets, this matter would be difficult to accomplish. So, the Sun God should have just wanted to hide the evidence of the Giant Queen's death among his believers, but he didn't expect that the catastrophe would completely bury the truth... Huh?"

Edward blinked as he watched the Demon of Knowledge's expression suddenly change.
"I haven't thought of this yet, but what you said makes sense - but, you know, there was the 'Redemption Rose' before the Cataclysm. If Omybella was already dead at that time, who was participating in this banquet? Why did "She" keep hinting at others in Omybella's identity? Even her own son, the God of War, firmly believes that this is his biological mother."

"I am not sure."

The Demon of Knowledge stroked his unshaven chin and thought with the look of a scholar from the Western Continent:
"But could it be that the acting methods that are circulated here are also being used by these gods to 'maintain humanity'?"

"Either the God of War knew about it and just acquiesced. After all, mother and son are a natural alliance. His close relationship with the Mother Goddess of the Earth makes it easier for him to intimidate other gods. But if he knew about it but did not avenge his mother or feel sad for her death, but instead took advantage of her, then the deep mother-son love he pretended to have should have caused him to lose self-awareness and even lose control."

"But now the God of War is at his peak and shows no signs of losing control."

"That means the God of War is unaware." Edward analyzed it logically, and then suddenly laughed out loud, "They are unaware, but they can continue to play the role of mother and son - oh, to be honest, only the belief in the God of War is allowed in Feysac. Even the ally Mother Earth will be arrested and sent to the Heretic Inquisition if she comes. It can be seen that the love between mother and son and the love between allies cannot compare to interests. It feels worse than the night and thunder."

The Demon of Knowledge nodded slightly.

"But who is the powerful Mother Earth now?"

"A person who quietly teamed up with the Daughter of Secrets to kill the queen at the end of the Third Age, and then quietly replaced her... This person is quite terrifying, and his scheming and cunning should not be underestimated... Did he disguise himself as the giant queen because he didn't want to make enemies?"

He felt that this guess was quite correct, so he grabbed another handful of melon seeds and stuffed them into his mouth, then turned around and asked:

"Who do you think that would be?"

"I am not sure."

Edward said: "However, the Church of Mother Earth has always been trying to recruit vampires to serve as priests."

"Tell me, is it because the person occupying this identity is a vampire, or is he impersonating Lilith, the ancestor of the vampires?"

"Is it possible that that is...?"

"Unlikely." Edward frowned. "Didn't he die a long time ago? He died before the Sun God showed his power."

"But there seems to be no clear record." The Demon of Knowledge was also a little skeptical. "Could it be that he really had an agreement with the Daughter of Secrets and quietly used her as a substitute? But how did he deceive the eyes of the Sun God?"

I can't stand it anymore. After two months of fighting mosquitoes, there are still mosquitoes in the house. I am chased everywhere by mosquitoes and have to hide in the mosquito net to type on my phone.
