Secret: The undead do not die in the fire
Chapter 363: The Words of the Fool
Rorsted Archipelago, New Silver City near Bayam.
With the help of Mr. Fool, the residents of Moon City were first transferred to Silver City by a miracle, and then they were transferred to this new Silver City, which represents hope, together with the residents of Silver City.
With the help of Miss Justice and Mr. Fool, Derrick successfully completed his promotion a day ago and is now a Sequence 4 'No Darkness', a true demigod.
The Chief has also appointed him as the new elder of the six-member council, and concurrently the first archbishop of the 'Church of Fools'.
The overall resettlement of tens of thousands of people in these two cities was also entrusted to Derrick and Elder Lovia, the 'shepherd'. This was not an easy task, and Derrick had no experience before, but he still enjoyed it.
Derrick led a half-giant to an open space, pointed at the open space and said:
"Valier, this will be your home from now on."
"You can pray to Mr. World and ask him to give you a house."
Valer, who was two meters and two meters tall, had brown-yellow hair similar to Derrick and a thick beard, expressed his sincere gratitude:
"Thank you."
There are no houses here, not even makeshift tents.
But Valier did not complain at all, because he knew that Mr. World was also one of the angels under the Fool. However, unlike other angels with their own names, Mr. World did not seem to have a specific angel name. He just asked his believers to call him Mr. World.
In private discussions, they believed that this was because Mr. World was a follower of The Fool, and that was why he was allowed to use a title that imitated The Fool.
Mr. World possesses the power of miracles and is keen on fulfilling the wishes of his followers. Usually, the residents of Silver City and Moon City would wish to own a house.
As for other wishes, they will achieve them with their own hands.
Because they understand that although Mr. World is willing to help them, it does not mean that they can abuse this gift.
Derrick nodded slightly to Valier and quickly left with the others.
Although Valier was one of his few good friends in the City of Silver, he had no time for small talk now as he still had a lot of work to do.
As Derrick was distributing land and housing to residents of Silver City and Moon City one by one, his eyes suddenly blurred and he saw the diffuse gray fog and the Fool sitting in a high-backed chair deep in the fog, overlooking everything. A grand and majestic voice sounded in his ears:
"The Hermit has arrived."
That was the oracle issued by Mr. Fool himself!
Antierna, who was in charge of assisting Derrick, saw him suddenly standing there in a daze, and asked worriedly:
"Elder Derrick, what's wrong with you? Did something happen?"
"call!"
Derrick took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"I'm fine, Antina. You'll be in charge of the work here. I need to fulfill Mr. Fool's oracle."
Hearing that it was Mr. Fool's oracle, Antierna's face suddenly became serious and she said solemnly:
"Don't worry, Elder Derrick. I will take care of it."
Derrick left in a hurry, even using his extraordinary abilities to rush to the port as soon as possible.
It was originally a natural harbor, and the Abraham family had already sent people to build simple buildings and facilities. With the help of Mr. World's miracle, the port was expanded and repaired again, and it was not inferior to the largest port in Bayam.
At this time, a large number of merchant ships transporting supplies were docked in the port.
Among those merchant ships, two sailing ships stood out and were particularly eye-catching.
But when Derrick saw the two sailboats, he couldn't help but smile with genuine joy.
The three-masted sailing ship that was obviously behind the times was Mr. 'The Hanged Man's' Blue Avenger.
The other ship was flying a flag with ten white stars of the same size, and those stars surrounded a pair of cold, eyelash-less eyes. That was the Future of Ms. Hermit.
He saw the dark blue-haired 'Hanged Man' waiting at the port, and saw the lady standing at the bow of the 'Future', wearing a black classical robe, with dark purple eyes and clothes covered with different symbols and magical signs.
Derrick happily stepped forward and called them by their names instead of their code names:
"Mr. Alger, Ms. Cattleya, welcome to the New Silver City!"
"Good day, Mr. Derrick, Mr. Alger."
The Hermit Cattleya looked around and asked with a smile:
"I seem to be the last one here?"
The Hanged Man spoke calmly:
"I just arrived yesterday too. Compared to us, Miss Fors arrived the earliest."
"A traveler."
Cattleya sighed softly, not knowing whether it was out of emotion or envy, and then suddenly said:
"Where can we go to talk?"
Derrick didn't dare to neglect, and immediately said:
"You two, please come with me."
He immediately led the two of them inland, their destination was the inner city of Silver City. It was the earliest built area of Silver City, with two iconic buildings of Silver City, the Twin Towers.
There is no doubt that this is also the credit of Mr. World, which comes from the wish made by the Chief himself.
Derrick led the two through the streets, all the way to the round tower among the twin towers, under the curious gazes of the residents.
In the original Silver City, the round tower symbolized the highest power in the Silver City.
All the magical items in the City of Silver are sealed at the bottom of the round tower, while the top is the residence and meeting place of the six-member council.
And in the New Silver City, this tradition has been continued.
Only this time, Derrick also became a member of the six-member council and had his own room at the top.
Bang bang bang!
At the top of the round tower, Derrick knocked on the door and asked:
"Ms. Forth, are you in there?"
"I'm here, please come in."
A lazy female voice came from inside the house.
Derrick opened the door and led Alger and the other man into the house.
Cattleya looked around, somewhat surprised.
Because this is a study, a modern study full of Backlund style.
At this time, a lady wearing a beige stand-up collar dress and brown curly hair sat in front of a desk with a large number of thick books on it. Cattleya recognized at a glance that they were all scriptures of various churches. Some of these scriptures were open, and the lady's light blue eyes would occasionally scan the open scriptures, and then write the corresponding words on a blank book in front of her.
In the author's words, this behavior is called reference.
"You came just in time!"
When Fors saw the three people, she breathed a sigh of relief as if she had seen a savior. She put down the pen in her hand, raised her hand to rub her temple, and said with some complaints:
"The workload of compiling the scriptures is too heavy. I can't handle it alone."
"Besides, I'm just an ordinary novelist. Why would you ask me to compile the holy book?"
"I'm so sorry, Miss Fors."
Derrick felt ashamed when he heard Fors's complaint, and said sincerely:
"I really don't have the talent for this, so you have to do it on your own before this. But now Mr. Alger and Ms. Cattleya are here, they will definitely be able to provide you with some help."
"It better be this way."
Fors muttered softly.
When she first received the oracle from The Fool regarding compiling the Temple, she was actually quite happy.
After all, I was able to meet other members of the Tarot Club and work together to compile the Holy Scripture.
But after I came here, I found that this was simply a nightmare!
Because she was a traveler, she teleported directly to New Baiyun City as soon as she received the oracle. As a result, she found that the Hanged Man and the Hermit were still on the way and had not even set off!
As a local, Sun was completely unable to help, so she had to complete the work of compiling the holy book on her own. And most importantly, because this was Mr. Fool's oracle, she had no way to slack off!
Cattleya walked to the table and asked:
"Can I have a look?"
"Of course, you all can take a look."
Fors nodded without hesitation, but did not directly hand the Holy Scripture to Cattleya. Instead, he prayed in Hermes:
"The followers of the spirit world and Sefirah Castle,
Witnesses of a long history,
The embodiment of wishes and miracles."
"I pray for your protection and for your granting of my wish to make three copies of this Sacred Word."
"..."
Alger's expression was a little subtle, because he watched Fors pray to the World, praying that he could make three copies of the unfinished Holy Scripture, and then three identical Holy Scriptures appeared on the table.
Miss Fors prayed for an angel's help for such a trivial matter, and the most important thing was that the 'world' responded to such a prayer...
There were indeed too many points to complain about, and Alger didn't know how to complain for a moment.
Cattleya was much more natural. She picked up a holy book on the table and looked at the large gold-plated words on the cover:
"The Words of Fools."
Cattleya didn't pay much attention to this. After all, there was no strict standard for the name of the holy book. For example, the seven major orthodox churches had different names for their holy books, such as the Holy Book of Steam and Machinery, the Holy Book of Mother Earth, the Apocalypse of Night, the Book of Storms, and so on.
But when she opened the "Record of the Holy Words", she immediately discovered that this "Record of the Holy Words" was fundamentally different from the scriptures of the seven major orthodox churches. Because although the scriptures of the seven major orthodox churches were different, their records on the creation of the world were surprisingly consistent:
The Creator awoke from the chaos, broke the darkness, created the first ray of light, and completely merged into the universe, becoming all things. His body became the earth and the stars, one of His eyes became the sun and the other became the red moon, and part of His blood flowed into the sea and rivers, nourishing and nurturing life...
His lungs became spirits; His heart became giants...
His spirit became the Eternal Sun, the Lord of Storms, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom...
Human beings were born from His wisdom. This was the First Age, the Age of Chaos.
In the sacred texts of the seven great orthodox churches, the creation myths are all exactly the same.
When believers see such a record, their first reaction is "detailed".
It is so detailed that it lists in detail which part of the Creator each ranked race originated from.
If someone studies the scriptures of other churches, they will find that the records of the creation myths of the major orthodox churches are exactly the same, and none of them exalts themselves and belittles other gods.
For most ordinary believers, this consistency just proves the fact that the creation myth is true. But for extraordinary people, they will think more, for example, this may be the result of the consensus reached by major churches after a long struggle and compromise.
But no matter what, basically no one doubts the authenticity of the creation myth.
In the eyes of most people, even if some of the contents recorded in the scriptures are false, they are generally credible.
If one were to compile "The Words of Fools", using this part would actually be the best choice. After all, this would increase the acceptance of believers.
However, the creation myth recorded in the "Records of the Holy Words" compiled by Fors is completely different from the scriptures of the seven orthodox churches!
"In ancient times, the world was not yet differentiated and was shrouded in fog. Everywhere were gray rocks, towering trees, and immortal ancient dragons. Then, one day, the first fire was ignited. With the rise of fire, the world began to show differences..."
"That is the Zeroth Era, the Fire Era, which will never be remembered by history."
"When the fire ended, light could no longer illuminate the world, the night continued endlessly, and the world entered the deep sea era..."
"This is the First Age, the Age of Chaos."
"..."
After reading the whole thing, Cattleya realized Fors's purpose—she changed the part about the creation myth of the Seven Orthodox Churches beyond all recognition, and added the record of the 'Zeroth Era', the Fire Age, before the First Age.
In the original creation myth, everything was created by the Creator.
In the "Sacred Words", this world was born from the First Fire, and all life in the world is the continuation of the First Fire.
Until the First Age, the flames went out, the deep sea descended, and the world fell into an endless night...
However, the Divine Word does not simply belittle the night.
It was like a way of saying "first down, then up", the first sentence clearly described the extinction of the first flame as the coming of doomsday, but then it added:
The extinction of the First Flame does not mean the end of the world. The differences in the world have already appeared and will not disappear with the extinction of the First Flame.
The coming of night means the beginning of a new cycle.
One day, the first fire was ignited again!
The night is embraced by the First Fire and coexists with the day.
Since then, the world has a new order.
The sun and the moon alternate between day and night, cold and warm seasons change, and the First Fire will never be extinguished...
When the new order was born, several species born from darkness were attracted by fire and found the king's soul around it:
The Giant King Olmir, the Fantasy Dragon Angerweed, the Elf King Soniathorem...
