Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

Colin Iliad listened very seriously and never interrupted, but silently compared Derrick and Lovia in his heart.

Compared to Elder Lovia, who took the initiative to explore the team for possible contamination and was imprisoned voluntarily, Derrick in front of him looked more like a fanatical believer, and the god he believed in was naturally the one he often mentioned. "Mr. Fool".

As a mature "demon hunter" and the chief of the City of Silver, Colin Iliad has his own judgment.

Lovia's behavior was somewhat similar to that of the exploration captain who had been possessed by Amon for 40 years, which made Colin Iliad feel uneasy about it. He even had the idea of ​​detaining Lovia indefinitely .

If, without Derrick showing up...

As the doomsday draws near, the City of Silver seems to be no longer peaceful, but could this be an opportunity for the City of Silver to walk out of this dark land, perhaps it should be called "Land Abandoned by God"?

Abandoned by God... Colin Iliad was thinking about this adjective secretly, and Derrick's description gradually came to an end in his ears. He quickly opened his mouth and asked the most critical question:

"Since you have long been chosen by that 'Mr. Fool' to become a favored one, why did you keep hiding it for a long time, but suddenly confessed all this today?"

Derrick answered honestly:

"Because both Amon and the 'True Creator' appeared in the City of Silver, Mister Fool allowed me to announce His existence and belief to you."

"'True Creator', you mean Elder Lovia?" Colin Iliad said.

"Yes, Elder Lovia is a 'shepherd', and it is the extraordinary path controlled by the 'True Creator', she must have been polluted!" Derrick said solemnly, but he didn't have the same feeling as the first time. as excited.

He already knew that the Chief would not do anything to Elder Lovia, because in the eyes of the Chief, he was also the spokesperson of the "God", no different from Elder Lovia.

Although Mister Fool and the "True Creator" are two gods who oppose good and evil, it is right for the Chief to have doubts. All Derrick can do is to try to convince the Chief Your Excellency of Mister Fool's benevolence.

Colin Iliad glanced at Derrick appreciatively, and then said:

"So, is The Fool's attitude towards the True Creator and Amon hostile?"

Derrick did not answer directly, but described sideways:

"In the outside world, the 'True Creator' is an evil god, and Amon's clone has been lurking in the City of Silver for forty years."

Colin Iliad did not deny this fact, he thought for a moment and continued to ask:

"What is the purpose of you coming to me to talk about this today?"

In fact, the question should be what the purpose of "The Fool" is, and the two of them tacitly agree on this.

Finally reached the final stage... Derrick was a little excited, and immediately replied:

"Mr. Fool will respond to my prayers and sacrifices, and will perform miracles in front of you, Your Excellency. Please believe me, Mr. Fool has no ill intentions towards the City of Silver. He is the hope for our City of Silver to get out of the land abandoned by gods. .”

Colin Iliad's expression suddenly became serious, he stared seriously at Derrick's eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"The hope of Silver City lies in ourselves."

Facing the deep gaze looking at him, Derrick nodded solemnly:

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Colin Iliad closed his eyes slightly, as if he was in deep thought, and then he asked aloud:

"What, when and where are you going to sacrifice."

Derrick suppressed the joy in his heart, and gave the answer discussed by everyone:

"'The eyes of the mirror demon', there is no regulation on the time and place of the sacrifice."

Colin Iliad certainly understands that this is to eliminate the opposition from the City of Silver as much as possible. This also shows that the "Fool" may not have malicious intentions. At least this time, the action should not bring about any particularly big danger.

The City of Silver has not received a response for thousands of years. If it weren't for the hope that people still have in their hearts, they would probably have disappeared in this dark land long ago.

The risk of being destroyed, and the hope of getting out of the land abandoned by the gods, the two cannot coexist.

Suddenly, Colin Iliad's ears moved slightly, and he asked aloud:

"Why is it the 'mirror demon's eyes'? Its sequence is not low, but it is not an item that a god needs."

Derrick lowered his head and replied:

"You can't see the gods."

"No, you are trying to hide it." Colin Iliad said in a deep voice, as if he was very sure, he paused, and then expanded:

"You said just now that the 'Fool' will choose extraordinary people to become favored ones, so the 'mirror demon's eyes' are not needed by the 'Fool', but by one of his favored ones. You mentioned a name just now, Ms. Power, I admire her very much..."

Derrick raised his head abruptly, and heard the Chief Your Excellency say calmly:

"The person who needs the 'Mirror Demon Eyes' is Miss Power, right?"

After a brief silence, Derrick sighed and said helplessly:

"Well, you guessed it right."

Colin Iliad didn't suspect that Derrick was lying to him, but he was very surprised by the latter's frankness. He simply admitted it like this, as if he had expected it?

"Who is this Miss Power?" He asked.

Derrick really wanted to say, Miss Power is the smartest person I have ever met, she almost guessed all your reactions... Leaving aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind, he replied:

"Although Ms. Power is only a mid-sequence Extraordinary, she is very knowledgeable. She has a good understanding of ancient mythology and history, and she is especially familiar with the Land Abandoned by God..."

According to Miss "Power"'s description of herself, Derrick simply repeated it, and finally added:

"Miss 'Power' said that she would exchange something of sufficient value for the 'Mirror Demon's Eyes'. It could be information or extraordinary items, and she would never refuse."

Colin Iliad thought for a while, and finally gave an uncertain answer, saying:

"This matter requires the discussion of the 'six-member council', and I cannot give you an answer immediately."

Derrick nodded: "I understand, during this period, I am willing to accept protective detention."

Colin Iliad was a little surprised by this, but he did not refuse. Finally, he asked after a moment of silence:

"Miss Power, this is obviously a code name, may I know your name from The Fool?"

Derrick got up and said with firm eyes:

"sun."

"I will lead the City of Silver out of the Land Abandoned by God, if not, then I will try my best to become the sun."
