What kind of place is the Forsaken Land?
Since first learning of this place from Lin Ruo, Klein had always been curious.
And today, after hearing from Derrick Berg, a citizen of City of Silver and a native of the Forsaken Land, Klein finally gained a basic understanding of that land—or rather, a basic understanding of City of Silver.
According to Derrick Berg, later known as "The Sun" in the Tarot Club, City of Silver had existed since long ago, but at that time, it was called the Silver Kingdom, and "The Lord Who Created Everything, the Omnipotent and Omniscient God" had not yet abandoned this land.
But one day, the sun suddenly disappeared, and a long and seemingly endless night enveloped the land. People no longer welcomed the daylight and could only judge the time by the lightning and thunder in the sky.
This was not the most deadly thing. The most deadly thing was that countless monsters suddenly appeared in the darkness, and those monsters destroyed city after city. Only a few strong individuals and the people they protected survived. These people gathered in City of Silver, relying on their own strength and two mystical items to barely resist the attacks of the monsters in the darkness and established City of Silver, which could protect the survival of ordinary people.
Do you think the suffering of City of Silver ended here? Wrong! Although a city-state capable of protecting the survival of ordinary people was established, City of Silver first faced the problem of food. After all, after the darkness descended, there was no normal food available for people to eat. This once led to a sharp decline in the population of City of Silver. Fortunately, the residents of City of Silver finally discovered the existence of black-faced grass, which allowed City of Silver to avoid being completely wiped out due to food problems at the beginning and persevere until now.
—Persisting for two thousand five hundred and eighty-two years!
Without a doubt, City of Silver is a peculiar place, and also a place that makes people despair.
After roughly understanding the history and current situation of City of Silver from Derrick Berg, Klein witnessed the other party choosing "The Sun" as his codename. Although there were still many things he wanted to know, he restrained himself and sent Derrick Berg back down the gray fog.
"Another coax... no, developed a new member." After sending Derrick Berg away, Klein, who no longer needed to pretend to be The Fool, thought about what the other party had just said. Now he could basically confirm that the other party really came from the legendary Forsaken Land—a place even more desperate and dangerous than he had originally imagined.
"Unfortunately, I am not a true god..." Klein sighed. As a Sequence 8, he certainly couldn't save City of Silver. The only thing he could do to help Little Sun was probably to bring him into the Tarot Club and give him a chance.
He suddenly thought of something again, and said with a strange expression:
"However, the Sequence 9 formula of the Sun pathway that I obtained after courting death last time can be used. But City of Silver probably doesn't have pounds... Should I let Little Sun exchange information or Beyonder ingredients?"
While thinking, Klein descended from the gray fog and opened his eyes to see Lin Ruo drinking tea. He quickly shared what he had just seen and heard with Lin Ruo, and finally asked curiously: "Lin Ruo, do you know where the Forsaken Land is exactly?"
"To be honest, my understanding of the Forsaken Land is not much more than yours." Lin Ruo shook his head, still maintaining his persona, "But I suspect that the Forsaken Land may be sealed."
"Sealed?" Klein was a little curious.
"Just a guess... The situation of the Forsaken Land you described is completely different from ours. It stands to reason that unless it is a different world, even if the Forsaken Land is on a different continent, there shouldn't be such a big difference. A more reliable explanation is probably that the land belongs to a certain seal and is inherently in a closed state."
Lin Ruo explained. This was not a lie, after all, the Forsaken Land was indeed in a seal in a sense. Nowadays, except for bugs like Amon who can freely enter and exit the Forsaken Land and the outside world, other people basically have to wait for the door guarded by the Dark Angel to open if they want to enter or leave the Forsaken Land.
And if you want to open that door... Lin Ruo glanced at Klein, then smiled and said: "But even if we didn't understand it before, now that we have the existence of The Sun, we can slowly understand the Forsaken Land. Maybe one day we can really find it, and then City of Silver may be saved."
"Hopefully..." Klein said sincerely. Although he couldn't help with the state of City of Silver, it didn't prevent him from giving them his best wishes.
After the two chatted for a few more words, Danitz came back. Seeing Lin Ruo and Klein's packed luggage, he was not surprised. While handing the bounty to Klein, he asked: "What is the next destination?"
Every time after finishing things, Wayne and Gehrman would quickly transfer. Danitz had already gotten used to this these days.
"Of course, it's going home!" Lin Ruo said with a smile.
"Going home? Which port is that... Huh?" Danitz was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "You, you are going home?"
"Yes, after all, we have been wandering on the Five Seas for so many days." Lin Ruo suddenly smiled very brightly and said: "In fact, not only Gehrman and I are going home, but I also plan to invite you to stay in our hometown for a few days!"
Danitz, who originally thought he was finally free, suddenly felt like he had been struck by lightning. He stared blankly at Lin Ruo and asked: "I have to go too?"
"Of course, aren't you happy?" Lin Ruo looked at him with a smile.
"Happy, happy, I'm so happy." Danitz didn't dare to say no, so he squeezed out a smile on his face that was uglier than crying.
"Tsk tsk, this smile doesn't have any persuasiveness at all." Lin Ruo shook his head, not concealing his disgust for Danitz's terrible acting skills, and then said: "I'm teasing you, you are free, Danitz."
Danitz was stunned again. His first reaction was to suspect that he had heard wrong, and then he looked at Lin Ruo in disbelief and asked cautiously: "I... can I go back to the Golden Dream?"
"Of course, that is your freedom." Lin Ruo nodded.
Danitz immediately beamed with joy, his whole face blooming with smiles.
At this time, Lin Ruo said lightly:
"By the way, don't forget the daily prayers. You are now a loyal believer of Mr. Fool."
Danitz's smile suddenly froze, and he remembered that even if he was separated from Wayne and Gehrman, he was still a believer of The Fool.
However, compared to before, Danitz was not so panicked in his heart now, after all, he had believed in Mr. Fool for more than ten days, and he had not seen any disasters befall him.
On the contrary, Wayne had taught him a lot of useful knowledge during this period, such as acting, and even promised that after he completed the corresponding tasks and accumulated enough merit in the future, he would also give him the subsequent potion formulas of the Hunter pathway, making Danitz feel that he had gained a lot.
Believing in such a god is actually not too bad... This is Danitz's current thought.
Lin Ruo could see this change, and while being gratified that he had finally cultivated Saint Danitz's piety, he said a few more words to Danitz, and then took Klein back to Tingen.
"Go see your sister and brother, but you will buy your own ticket back, I won't come to pick you up." Lin Ruo left Klein at his doorstep, and was about to leave when he thought of something and instructed:
"By the way, after you return to Backlund, don't wander around outside these two days if you have nothing to do. I received news that Rear Admiral Hurricane Qilangos secretly sneaked into Backlund yesterday. It would be bad if you accidentally bumped into him."
"Rear Admiral Hurricane? The one with a bounty of 10,000 pounds?" Klein's first reaction was still very real.
"Yes." Lin Ruo nodded and said: "But you only need to be careful these two days. I am looking for his whereabouts. After I find him..."
"...There will be no Vice Admiral Hurricane in this world."
