Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 128 It must have been done by the Communists!

"That's Afternoon Town."

On a hill not far from the afternoon town, the girl stretched out her hand to gently smooth her hair that was blown by the wind, and whispered, "Legend has it that if you pass through there, you will reach the Giant King's Court."

Ember was standing next to Alice, also looking at Afternoon Town in the distance.

Although it is called a town, it is actually not much smaller than the 'Silver City' where they lived before in the 'Silver Kingdom'.

Afternoon Town is built at the foot of the mountain and is naturally divided into upper, middle and lower layers. There are nights and days here, but all the daytime is in the "afternoon" state. No matter whether there is fog, heavy rain, or ice and snow, they cannot cover the fierce sunlight.

“This is the only way to the Giant King’s Court. This is the gate that separates reality and myth!
"Where is the Giant King?"

Yu Jin looked at the magnificent palace behind Afternoon Town that seemed frozen in the dusk and suddenly asked.

"Yes, not only the Giant King Olmir, but also other giant gods are in there. It is said that only devout believers can enter and receive the giant gods' reception and blessings."

Alice put her hands behind her back and walked lightly to Yu Jin's side. She leaned forward and looked at Yu Jin, and asked curiously, "But why are you asking these questions? You don't seem to be a follower of the Giant King, right?"

Yu Jin glanced at her and said calmly:
"curious."

Alice puffed up her cheeks and looked like "Do you think I'm a fool?", obviously not believing his lies.

But Yu Jin obviously had no intention of explaining. He just walked silently towards the direction of Afternoon Town.

"Little Alan, follow me."

Alice rolled her eyes, but still quickly followed Yu Jin's footsteps and waved to the boy behind her.

Alan's body trembled slightly, as if he was fighting against something, but he finally followed in silence.

Although Afternoon Town was just a "town", it seemed to be more prosperous than the Silver Kingdom. There was an endless stream of devout human believers coming and going, and the three of them, Yu Jin, were not conspicuous at all.

Alice looked at the pious people around her, and said softly with a hint of nostalgia in her tone:
“They are here on a pilgrimage.”

Yu Jin's eyes glanced at a slightly hunched figure not far away. He was walking slowly towards Wuzhong Town, bowing his head every three steps. And people like him formed a long line.

Their devotion to the giants' faith is almost beyond words and can be seen without words.

But is it really worth it?
As the team moved forward slowly, the three people named Yu Jin who were mixed in the team finally arrived at the city gate of Afternoon Town.

Unlike the Silver City, in addition to a team of human guards at the gate of Afternoon Town, there are also two five-meter-tall giants on both sides of the gate!
The skin of the two giants was a strange gray-blue color, with thick beast fur wrapped around their chests, abdomens and waists, and the rest of their bodies were exposed, even their feet were unprotected. They held huge swords that were level with their chests and wider than human door panels, and looked down at the believers entering the city with the iconic vertical single eye on their foreheads.

When believers see these tall and powerful giants, they will naturally feel awe. Because for mortals, even without the help of the giant gods, these ordinary giants can also be war gods who can kill in and out of the crowd without any injury!

After entering the city, I found that the architectural style here is slightly different from that of the Silver City.

Here, grey stones were piled up to form different houses, which were arranged compactly and spread out. Some were hollowed out and nearly ten meters high, while others were similar to the living environment of normal people, only slightly higher than a person.

The shorter ones were for mortals, and the taller ones were for giants.

"Is it them? Are the rituals commanded by the Lord to be handed over to them?"

"I don't know. Do you want me to try it out?"

"Go, my Lord is watching you. If you are exposed, you know what to do."

"I understand. May the glory of mankind last forever."

"May the glory of mankind last forever, praise our Lord!"

"Praise my Lord!"

Yu Jin was walking on the city streets made of solid stone slabs, and Alice was holding his arm intimately, like a couple in love. But they seemed to be unaware of it, and it was Alan who was following behind them who suddenly shuddered and looked around.

In the shadow-covered alleys between the houses, there seemed to be shadows peeking out.

……

The country of silver, the city of silver.

In a grand hall that was supported by stone pillars and was ten meters high, and did not look like it was built for humans, an old man with white hair and beard was praying devoutly. Wilt Iliad looked at the old man's back and walked towards him in silence.

In this huge and magnificent palace, it is easy for humans to feel their own insignificance, and they will unconsciously feel respect for the tall giant stone statues on both sides and the huge murals carved on both sides of the palace.

The same was true for Wilt. Whenever he glanced at the stone giants, he couldn't help but feel uneasy, because he always felt that the giant stone statues were alive. And when he glanced at the two huge murals in the hall, he would lower his head involuntarily.

Because in the two murals, the protagonist of one mural is a giant wearing silver full body armor, emitting a bright light, with a group of morning light condensed in the position of his eyes. In the center of the other mural, a female giant with long dark brown hair, leather armor and a long skirt stands sideways. She is holding wheat ears, fruits and other things, surrounded by harvest fields, clear lakes, fruit-bearing trees and bright mushrooms.

The two giants were Badhair, the god of the morning, and Omybella, the goddess of the harvest. The Silver Kingdom believed in Omybella, the goddess of the harvest, and Badhair, the god of the morning, as her offspring, was generously given a share of the goddess's faith.

Wilt's eyes swept across the mural depicting a female giant. His gaze lingered for a moment and then quickly moved away. He lowered his head silently and dared not look again.

After walking in this empty and magnificent hall for an unknown amount of time, Wilt finally came behind the old man and bowed respectfully, saying:
"High Priest."

The old man came back to his senses, looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with cloudy eyes, and smiled:
"Wilter, the God's Birthday will be in three days. The Goddess of Harvest will come to the Silver Kingdom in person to bless the devout people who believe in her. Have you prepared all the ceremonies and celebrations?"

Wilt still lowered his head, not knowing whether it was out of respect or for some other reason, he just whispered:
"We have prepared everything and are just waiting for the goddess to come."

After a pause, Wilt seemed to hesitate and whispered:

"High Priest, many foreigners have come to the Silver Country recently. Their identities are unknown, and there are even suspected vampires lurking among them. It is simply difficult to distinguish them with our city defense team alone. I am a little worried that these people may disrupt the festival."

The old man smiled, his words full of devout faith and reverence for the gods:
"It's okay. My god's sharp blade will eliminate those sinners with ulterior motives. Besides, there is a god's messenger in the city. If you are not sure about identifying those vampires, you can ask for help."

Wilt lowered his head, nodded as if thinking about something, and then said respectfully:
"Yes, High Priest."

The old man smiled with satisfaction, turned around silently and looked at the tall female giant statue in front of him, respectfully and piously:
"Praise the goddess."

Wilt lowered his head a little and also prayed in a low voice:
"Praise my Lord."

After finishing his prayer, Wilt quietly left the magnificent palace.

Under the watchful eyes of the palace guards, he silently crossed the square in front of the palace, crossed the street and returned home.

"Crench!"

Wilt pushed open the door, and a soft female voice came from the inner room, "Wilt, are you back? Lunch is ready, please wait a moment."

"it is good."

Wilt looked at his wife coming out of the kitchen and smiled happily.

He is married and has two children.

One is already receiving training in the city defense team's reserve, and the other is still in its infancy.

Sitting at the dining table, Werther looked at his wife, and they smiled at each other. Then they closed their eyes at the same time, put their hands together and began to pray devoutly:
"Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen!"

……

In the Eastern Continent, there is a small village close to the elves' sphere of influence.

In a grand temple in the center of the village, there is a tall, one-eyed giant statue, the Giant King Ormir. At this moment, a man wearing a white robe and a silver cross hanging on his chest is standing in front of the huge statue. He bows his head and looks like he is praying.

The man's hair was not long, mostly black, but with a yellowish-gold hue at the roots. His eyes were azure blue, but if you looked closely you could see a ray of gold. His skin was fair, his features were deep, his eye sockets were sunken, and he looked like he was from the north.

He didn't know whether he was thinking or listening. Suddenly, he reached out and grasped the silver cross on his chest. The corners of his mouth curled up a little bit, and he whispered:

"Amen."

"host!"

At this moment, a handsome young man with bright red hair like flaming fire suddenly ran towards the temple in a hurry, shouting as he ran, "Leodros and Osekus are going to rebel!"

"Medici."

The man in the white robe glanced at him and said leisurely, "What did you do to make Leodro and the others angry?"

"Don't blame me this time!"

The young man called Medici looked aggrieved.

The man in white robe just shook his head, obviously not believing what Medici said.

In the back, two tall but equally handsome young men were approaching the temple at a rapid speed, obviously chasing Medici. However, when they saw the man in white robes, they quickly slowed down their pace and bowed their heads respectfully:

"host."

The man in white robe nodded slightly and ordered:

"Leodro, go get Sasriel and Ouroboros."

"Yes, my lord."

Leodero replied respectfully, took a few steps back, then turned around and walked away in one direction.

The red-haired boy asked curiously:
"My Lord, where are we going?"

The white-robed man raised his lips slightly and smiled:

"Go find the Giant King to cooperate."

"cooperate?"

Medici had a strange expression on his face. You stole someone else's followers, and now you want to cooperate? Aren't you afraid of being slapped to death by the Giant King?

The man in white robe suddenly stopped smiling and looked at Medici expressionlessly.

……

In a secret space filled with light, a cross hundreds of meters high stood in front of them. In front of the cross, a huge, vague figure stood there, carrying everything on his back, looking at the souls with compassion.

In front of the giant there were rows of black chairs with backrests, but there was only one person praying.

The praying man had his eyes closed and was sitting in the center of the first row. He was wearing a rather simple white robe and a light golden beard that covered the lower half of his face. He held his hands in front of the silver cross pendant on his chest with an expression. Warm and calm.

At this time, he raised his head, revealing eyes as clear as a child's, and murmured calmly:
"I always thought that you fell into a deep sleep after that, and I have been waiting for you to wake up."

"But it wasn't until now that I realized that the person I was seeing all along was actually you from the future, waking up from a deep sleep. This is really surprising."

"No, it doesn't seem like I should be surprised. It's more suitable for another me."

"What has been, will be done again; what has been done, will be done again."

"Is this great power of time also caused by the First Fire? If it was the First Fire, could He do this? He should be able to do this."

"But why didn't you think of burning me at that time? Isn't this the goal you have been pursuing?"

"If you don't burn anything, how can you continue the First Fire?"

"Then does everything I do have no meaning?"

"Or was this all a lie from the beginning? It started with a lie and ended with a lie."

He suddenly raised his head, probably thinking that he should smile at this moment, so the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

In front of him, a picture suddenly appeared, from far to near, from blurry to clear. Finally, the person in the picture appeared in front of him. It was a person wearing a white robe and had a very classical atmosphere.

There was a halo behind his head, quietly emitting brilliance, like a sun. Under his feet, there was an illusory circle divided into twelve grids, each grid containing a symbol representing a different time. Behind him was a shadow like a curtain, and there seemed to be an eye in the shadow silently peeking out.

He suddenly sighed, waved his hand to fade away the scene, and murmured again:
"What is your relationship with her? Or, what is your relationship with them?"

"But no matter what you want to do now, it will be extremely disadvantageous to me now, even if there is another me. This may be a good thing, or it may be a bad thing. Looking back now, if I had been burned again, the situation might have been much better than it is now."

"Although that would cause me to lose some strength, at least I won't be bothered by it in the first place."

"Of course, it could also be that I was completely burned out."

His voice became quieter and quieter until his figure suddenly disappeared. After he disappeared, the entire space seemed to return to nothingness.

……

December 11th, another Monday.

At 2:30 in the afternoon, Klein entered the mysterious space above the gray fog ahead of time. In the grand and ancient palace, he sat in the seat that belonged to the Fool, and began to search silently among the crimson stars that were large or small, illusory or solid.

But as always, he still couldn't find the flame.

"It's troublesome."

Klein sighed. He had come to the cluster of flames that represented the embers above the gray fog every day for a week, but he returned empty-handed every time. And in the blink of an eye, it was the day of the Tarot Club gathering. How could he explain the "disappearance" of the embers to others?

Klein frowned, not only thinking about a solution, but also wondering where the ember was now.

According to the results of the last divination, the ember was indeed in the God-Forsaken Land. But until now, Little Sun still had no information about the ember. Klein guessed that it might be because of the interference of Amon's clone before his death, causing the ember to successfully reach the God-Forsaken Land, but landed in the wrong place.

He was supposed to appear next to Little Sun, but because of the interference of Amon's clone before his death, he might have appeared somewhere else, or even next to Amon's real body.

But this still couldn't explain why the 'flame' suddenly 'disappeared'. Of course, it might also be 'blocked' by something, which caused him to temporarily be unable to find the flame that could symbolize the embers.

The first thing that can be confirmed is that the Forsaken Land of Gods cannot do this, otherwise Little Sun would not be able to get in touch with him. Is that Amon? The possibility is not high. Although he is most likely a Sequence 1 angel, second only to God, he is not a true God after all.

Although Amon almost succeeded in invading the gray fog, it was only "almost". Moreover, Amon needed the medium of the little sun to invade the gray fog, so it was absurd to want to interfere with the gray fog.

But if these are not the culprits that caused the "flame" to disappear, then what is the reason?
Could it be that a true god was interfering? Eternal Blazing Sun had already proven that even a true god could not interfere with the gray fog at will, and the only precedent of the gray fog being successfully "invaded" was when he first divined the embers.

"She is the goddess of night who is higher than the starry sky and longer than eternity. She is also the Lord of Crimson, the Mother of Secrets, the Queen of Disaster and Fear, the Lord of Sleep and Silence."

Klein chanted the goddess' honorable name in a low voice, and the memory of the goddess' invasion of the Gray Mist emerged in his mind. Although the goddess was successfully "forced back" by the Gray Mist in the end, the extent of the goddess' invasion was obviously stronger than that of the Eternal Blazing Sun. But if the goddess was not "forced back", but retreated on her own initiative just to give him a small warning, then the nature of the matter is completely different!
The goddess, who is the 'Mother of Secrets', might be able to 'cover up' the flames representing the embers. But this still doesn't make sense, for example, the goddess shouldn't cooperate with Amon.

Regardless of whether Yu Jin is beside Amon or is "hidden" by the goddess, his divination will inevitably alert these two and may even lead to another invasion above the gray fog.

Even though the previous divination had shown that Yu Jin was not in any danger, and even though the divination results showed that he could get in touch with Yu Jin again, Klein couldn't just leave it alone like that! He had to do this divination because he was the one who lost the person.

Klein took a deep breath and opened his right hand. In his palm was an emerald ring full of cracks and bumps. This was the sacrificial ring that Ember had sold to Miss Justice. Klein used the identity of The World and the excuse that he was in danger to trick Miss Audrey into giving him the ring.

Of course, Klein didn't intend to shamelessly embezzle the ring. He just planned to use the ring for divination. After all, if there is an item used by the person being divined, the result of the divination will be more accurate.

Klein materialized a piece of parchment and immediately wrote down the specific divination statement on the paper:

"The location of the embers."

After reciting it silently seven times, he took the parchment and the sacrificial ring and leaned back in his chair. After a few seconds, Klein's eyes turned darker, from brown to black, and he entered a meditative state. His eyelids drooped, and he "saw" an illusory and hazy dream.

It was a huge city built on the mountain, clearly divided into upper, middle and lower levels!
Yu Jin was walking on the streets of this city, and there was a cute and playful girl with a beautiful smile beside him, who seemed to be saying something sweet. Judging from the direction they were facing, they seemed to be preparing to leave the city.

Behind the two of them, there was a young man who was cowering and trembling with fear. In addition, on the street near them, there were crowds of people passing by.

What Klein found most incredible was that among the people passing by, there were several giants with gray-blue skin and vertical one-eyed eyes! They were real giants, but weren't giants extinct?
But the scene didn't give Klein time to be shocked, because when his eyes followed the gaze of Yu Jin who suddenly turned back in the scene and looked into the distance, he discovered that behind the town, on the top of the mountain, there was a building that seemed to be frozen in the dusk!

Klein didn't know what other words to use to describe it. Spectacular, grand, and majestic. It was just like the palace of a giant in the legend!

When Klein saw this, the dream quickly faded away and he woke up, but the shock of seeing the dream still remained in his eyes.

"No, maybe it's not a resemblance, it might really be the Giant King's Court!"

Klein swallowed and suddenly realized a serious problem.

According to Little Sun, there are not many living people in the Forsaken Land of God. At least in the past thousand years, except for the Silver City, they have not found any living people in the wild! And more importantly, there is no daytime in the Forsaken Land of God, only night!

But the place where the embers were located was full of people, and it was still daytime! Although it looked like it was afternoon and approaching dusk, it was indeed daytime. This was definitely not what the Forsaken Land of God should look like!
But those giants, and the magnificent building that seemed to be the Giant King's Court, as well as what Little Sun once said, "Silver City once believed in the Giant King, and Silver City is near the Giant King's Court", and the divination result that "the embers are in the God-forsaken Land"... All of these combined told Klein a message that was enough to shock him and even the gods:

Yu Jin was indeed in the God-Forsaken Land, but it was before the Cataclysm, before the gods had abandoned the land! His time travel was indeed wrong, but the error was not in space, but in time!

Klein thought almost subconsciously:

"It must have been Manus!"

Klein grinned, but suddenly felt that his idea was a bit crazy, so he decisively threw it out of his mind. Although he didn't know the reason why the ember "traveled through time", Klein intuitively felt that it was not due to any interference, but was related to the "First Fire".

But no matter what, at least he can now confidently explain Yu Jin's disappearance to the members of the Tarot Club.

Soon, it was three o'clock in the afternoon. Rays of light rose from the giant-like palace, and Justice, the Hanged Man, and others projected blurry figures stained slightly red.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool."

Audrey greeted every member of the Tarot Club as usual, but when her eyes met the empty spot where the embers were supposed to be, she suddenly stopped.

Magician Fors quietly clenched his hands under the table and pursed his lips:
"You haven't come back yet? What happened?"

"Mr. Fool."

Fors took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, stood up and said, "I, I collected thirty-three pages of Roselle's diary this time. I will give them to you in several batches, but I hope to get an answer from you."

"Page thirty-three?"

Klein's expression changed slightly.

Even Miss Justice couldn't keep this many diaries. Miss Fors must have used the connections of the Abraham family. Should we say that this is an ancient family that has been passed down for thousands of years? As for Miss Fors's problem, Klein had expected it.

"can."

Klein was well-informed and said with a smile, "You can ask your question first."

"Mr. Fool, I would like to have a private conversation."

Fors hesitated for a moment and whispered.

Mr. Fool nodded slightly, waved his hand to block the perception of others, and then turned his gaze to Ms. Magician, motioning her to continue.

Fors pursed her lips and mustered up the courage to ask:

"Mr. Fool, I just want to know where the ember is."

Klein was not surprised by Fors's question, but he couldn't help but feel a little emotional:

"From the looks of it, Miss Magician probably hasn't told Miss Judgment and Miss Justice about Ember's disappearance yet. Is she prepared to sacrifice herself to try to save them?"

“I’m a little envious.”

Klein's expression was somewhat complicated. He once again thought of the captain, Leonard, Benson, and Melissa. But he quickly adjusted his state of mind, and with the clown's ability to control his expression, he smiled and said in a relaxed tone:
"Do you want to know the answer alone, or do you want others to know it as well?"

"Myself."

Fors said without hesitation.

The Fool nodded slightly and waved his hand to manifest the dream he had just divined to Fors.

"..."

Fors stood there in a daze, seemingly shocked by the scene.

This made Klein quite satisfied. He was in the same state when he saw this picture. It was normal.

"Mr. Fool."

Fors hesitated for a long time and asked in a low voice, "I want to know where this place is?"

Klein leaned back in his chair and said leisurely:
"The God-forsaken Land, the Giant King's Court."

"I……"

Fors’s brain seemed to be stuck, as if she couldn’t process this overly complex information. She could only ask with difficulty, “Mr. Fool, can you show the scene just now to others as well?”

"of course."

Klein smiled slightly. "I like equal exchange. This is the answer you got in exchange. The decision is in your hands."

He hoped that everyone else would see this scene, otherwise what if everyone else thought that he had harmed Yu Jin? Wouldn't his credibility as the Fool be seriously damaged?
……

The country of silver.

The three people who returned from the afternoon town took a rented carriage back to the Silver Kingdom. They had a smooth journey, but were stopped by the guards when passing through the city gate. When the captain of the city defense team came forward to check, he was stunned for a moment and said in surprise:
"Mr. Ash, why is it you?"

"Mr. Werther."

Yu Jin also looked at him with some confusion, "Aren't you from the city defense team?"

"The city defense team also rotates."

Wilt Iliad shrugged and glanced at Alice and her brother in the carriage, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. He didn't look carefully last time, but this time he didn't expect the girl to be so beautiful. It's a pity that she was covered with a quilt when he saw her last time. I really don't know what kind of delicate body is under the quilt...

It took Wilt a long time to finally come back to his senses, and after calming himself down, he asked casually, seemingly unintentionally, "Where are you from?"

Yu Jin did not hide anything and said frankly:

"We just got back from afternoon town."

Wilt's face showed understanding. One of the purposes of many foreigners coming to the Silver Country is to go to Afternoon Town.

Because it was the closest place to the Giant King's Court, anyone who wanted to see the face of the God would go to Afternoon Town. And the pilgrimage teams of fanatical believers were endless, stretching for dozens of miles.

However, most people will eventually return disappointed. After all, the giant gods live in the Giant King's Court, so how can they easily appear in front of mortals?
"Mr. Ash."

Wilt reminded, “If you want to see the gods, you don’t actually have to go to Afternoon Town.”

After hearing this, Yu Jin, who was originally indifferent to gods, became interested.

Wilt knew that he was not a local and explained patiently:
"In three days it will be the birthday of the God. On that day, the Goddess of Harvest will come in person to bless the people of the Silver Kingdom. If you want to see the glory of the God, you might as well wait a few more days."

After a pause, Wert added, "By then, there may be more than one god present."

Wilt paused for a moment, as if he didn't want to reveal any more information. He didn't want to continue the conversation, but quickly waved to the guards behind him, signaling them to let him pass.

"Three days later is the birthday of God?"

Yu Jin turned his head to look at the girl beside him and suddenly asked.

"uh-huh."

Alice looked at him with a smile, and after a long while she said in a somewhat arrogant tone, "You don't even know such a thing. I really don't know where you came from."

Yu Jin ignored her and turned his gaze to the boy opposite him who was hiding his head and pretending to be an ostrich:

"Alan, do you know?"

Alan still looked timid and replied in a low voice:
"The birthday of a god is the day when a god is born. Every god has a day as his birthday, and the god's believers will hold a celebration on this day."

Yu Jin's expression twitched slightly. What you said is exactly the same as what you said.

Shaking his head, Yu Jin turned his gaze to Alice again and asked:
"You came here specifically for the God's birthday?"

Alice smiled a smile that seemed to make everything pale in comparison, and responded in a sweet voice:
"you guess?"

Yu Jin looked at her expressionlessly and raised his hand. This made Alice's smile suddenly freeze. She looked at Yu Jin in disbelief, as if to say, "Can't you afford to play?"
Facing the girl's question, Yu Jin was ready to prove the point with practical actions:
That’s right, he just can’t afford to play!
Alice was so frightened that her face turned pale. She curled up in a corner, looking like she had been bullied and defiled, and cried:

"Wuwuwu~ Don't come over here! No, don't do this to me, I'll tell you whatever you want to know."

"I, I can help you with my hands if you really can't do it. Please don't do that... At least, at least not here."

"Be normal."

Yu Jin withdrew his hand and said expressionlessly.

"Boring man."

Alice rolled her eyes and sat back next to Yu Jin. An elegant and sweet smile reappeared on her face. She said with a smile, "That's right. Alan and I are here for the birthday of the god. After all, this may be the only chance in our lifetime to admire the glory of the god up close. After all, that is a god~"

As Alice spoke, a look of longing appeared on her face, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised:

"Omibella, the goddess of the harvest. What a beautiful name! Don't you agree, Ash?"

Yu Jin did not respond to her, but just looked at the top of the girl's head thoughtfully, as if he knew something.

Alice still had a faint smile on her face, looking thoughtfully in the direction of the city. Before the Harvest Goddess arrived, she still needed to do one thing, at least to have the strength to match her.

For example, the Mistress of the Desolate who was promoted to Sequence 2.

……

Above the gray fog, in the magnificent palace, the Tarot Club fell into almost deathly silence for a moment.

"A place abandoned by gods?"

Alger the Hanged Man asked hesitantly, "Mr. Fool, if I want to know how Mr. Lover can go to the God-Forsaken Land, what will be the price?"

Klein the Fool laughed softly:

"This method doesn't work for anyone other than 'lovers'."

Others are not like Yu Jin who can "separate their souls from their bodies" without any problems, and it is even more impossible for them to travel through time and space. If someone really learns Yu Jin's operation and insists on passing through the illusory gate to the location of other members, their souls may survive, but there is no guarantee that their bodies will not have any problems.

Klein didn't want to casually conduct some dangerous experiments that would cause Tarot to lose members, so he naturally wanted to block the possibility of others committing suicide in advance. Isn't it good to be alive?
"Not applicable?"

Alger nodded thoughtfully. He had actually discovered the peculiarity of the embers a long time ago, and now he connected the two together.

"Mr. Fool."

Miss Justice asked hesitantly, "So, when will Mr. Lover be back?"

Klein's eyes flickered slightly, and he chuckled:
"It depends on when he wants to come back."

"I'm sorry, Ember."

Klein silently apologized in his heart. After all, he didn't know when he could contact Yu Jin.

If you can't play dumb and get away with it at a time like this, then just pass the buck!

"Mr. Fool!"

Finally, Derrick the Sun could no longer hold back his excitement and asked, "I want to know where in the God-Forsaken Land Mr. Lover is?"

The other members all turned their eyes to Derrick. They all knew what the location of the ember meant to Derrick.

There is no concept of daytime in the God Forsaken Land, everything is shrouded in darkness. But now, not only did the Embers appear in the God Forsaken Land, but it was also in the daytime! The value of this place to Derrick and the City of Silver far surpasses everything else!
Klein tapped his fingers gently on the bronze table and said in a calm tone:
"Outskirts of the Giant King's Court."

He didn't know where the embers were exactly, so he could only use the word "outskirts" to refer to them.

After all, there are so many giants in the picture, and the magnificent palace has proven that it is the Giant King's Court.

Derrick stood up excitedly and asked:

"You mean Afternoon Town?"

"Afternoon town?"

The Hanged Man's eyes flickered, and he suddenly asked, "What is that place?"

"Sorry, I lost my temper."

Derrick calmed down a bit, sorted out his thoughts and explained, "According to the records of the Silver City, this was the only way for the Silver Country to reach the Giant King's Court. There, humans and giants lived together in the town, surrounded by the ancient god's residence that was always frozen in the dusk, like the last gate from the real world to the myths and legends."

After a pause, Derrick continued, "Although Afternoon Town is not far from Silver City according to records, we have not found any trace of its existence in all these years. All the towns we have found are only ruins, and no town is like Afternoon Town, which is forever frozen in the afternoon dusk."

"No, maybe you have found it, but you just didn't recognize it."

Klein complained in his heart.

Embers were in the past, before the giants became extinct and the Great Cataclysm occurred. At that time, the Giant King was probably still alive, and "Afternoon Town" was still in twilight. But thousands of years have passed, and the twilight of "Afternoon Town" has probably been shrouded by darkness.

"Mr. Fool."

After Derrick finished explaining, he asked with a somewhat nervous voice, "I want to know how to get to Afternoon Town. I am willing to pay any price for it! No, Silver City is willing to pay any price for it!"

Derrick was extremely excited. He believed that if the elders of the six-member council knew about this, they would definitely agree! Because in the environment where Derrick lived, darkness was the most terrifying existence. Once they left the Silver City, they had to keep the light shining at all times. Even if they lost it for a short time, the interval could not exceed five seconds.

Otherwise, they will completely disappear into the darkness.

After living in this environment for thousands of years, the "daylight" has become a legend to the Silver City. If they can live under the daylight again, they are willing to give everything for the light of dusk!
"Unfortunately, no."

Klein sighed in his heart, but he still had to maintain the attitude of a fool on the surface, so he just shook his head calmly:
"As I said before, this method is only suitable for Mr. 'Lover'."

Derrick froze in place, and after a long while he sat back in his seat in a daze.

But at the same time, a question also arose in the minds of others.

Why only for Ember?
PS: How many people have watched Harvest Night? Please deduct 1 for your feedback.

PS: Explain the issue of recruiting people.

First of all, before Ksung became an extraordinary person, he could pull two people, Justice and The Hanged Man.

Ordinary people: There are 2 quotas and 2 members.

Secondly, starting from the original text:
Volume 1, Chapter 77:

Moreover, after becoming a "Fortune Teller" and gaining extraordinary powers, Klein also realized that he had a better grasp of that mysterious space. For example, he could invite another member to join the party.

At this time, Kesong had just become an extraordinary person.

Sequence 9: There are 3 quotas and 2 members.

Volume 2, Chapter 13:
"But there are certain limitations. With my current strength, I can only establish one more connection at most."

At this time, Kesong had just been promoted to Sequence 8 and had arrived in Backlund not long ago. He had already pulled Xio above the gray fog, but had not allowed her to participate in the Tarot Club. She still needed to be "tested", and he could pull another one now.

Sequence 8: There are 5 quotas and 4 members.

Volume 2, Chapter 241:
"Including those who have not been paid before, we can recruit about four new members, but we don't have a target for the time being."

At this point, there are already five people, including Justice, the Hanged Man, the Sun, the Magician, and Hugh who pulled but not completely.

Sequence 6: There are 9 quotas and 5 members.

Summary: The squid can also be calculated strictly according to the rule that 2 places can be added in each sequence. Promotion and complete digestion of the potion can add one place.
