Chapter 252 - Omnipotent and Omniscient
Seeing Tower sit back in his seat, Alger looked around and made his request.
"I need a pair of Dragon-Eyed Sea Condor eyes. I will pay the corresponding price."
Although he had yet to digest the Seafarer potion, he had to make so preparations in advance.
And during the last Tarot Gathering, he had bought the Wind-blessed potion formula from the "Tower." He already had an idea of the whereabouts of the Blue Shadow Falcon, but it was difficult to find the Dragon-Eyed Sea Condor, so he could only try his luck here.
However, the people on both sides of the long bronze table showed no reaction.
Needless to say, Mr. Fool didn't possess such an expensive item. He had never even heard of such a material before Mr. Tower wrote the formula.
Although Miss Justice's vault was quite large, there weren't many items at the Sequence 6 level. She was certain that she had never seen it in the catalog.
Miss Judgnt is still in debt to this day. Although she should be able to pay off the reimbursent and reward money she received from the special recruitnt, she would still have quite a bit of spare cash... Up to now, she's still in debt.
The Sun said honestly, "There's no sea around the City of Silver..." In between the lines, he was implying that there was no Dragon-Eyed Sea Condor.
Alger wasn't disappointed either. He didn't expect to buy it imdiately, and he hadn't saved enough money... Therefore, he only requested, "I hope you can help
keep an eye out," and let it go.
Justice, Judgnt, and The Sun nodded and agreed to his request.
As for Ebner, he did know where the Dragon-Eyed Sea Condor eyeballs could be found, but Miss Justice hadn't joined the Psychology Alchemists at the mont, so there was no way she could get them even if she said it out loud...
In the end, Ebner remained silent.
Following that, the topic entered the stage of sharing information. Audrey recalled the topic she hadn't finished at the last Tarot Gathering. She asked Derrick, "Mr. Sun, can you tell
in detail about the City of Silver you're in?"
After a few Tarot Gatherings, Derrick roughly understood what "equivalent exchange" ant by Mr. Fool. Furthermore, through the previous transactions with Mr. Tower, he more or less understood so of the "resources" he could use.
However, Derrick didn't pay much attention to such basic general knowledge. Therefore, when he heard Miss Justice's question, he thought for a mont and replied,
Ever since the Lord that created everything, the omnipotent and omniscient God, abandoned this land, the City of Silver has existed... No, just as Mr. Tower ntioned, it existed before that. However, it was called the Kingdom of Silver back then...
The difference is that, in the records of the City of Silver, our ancestors should've believed in Giant King Aurmir, and not the Giant Queen Obella that Mr. Tower ntioned...
"This was specially checked after I returned last ti."
At this point, Derrick was afraid that Mr. Tower would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained,
Of course, with my status, I won't be able to co into contact with high-end information... This is only what I saw in the books that were opened to all the residents of the City of Silver...
Upon hearing that, Ebner only smiled without saying a word. At the sa ti, he extended his right palm, signaling him to continue.
Seeing that Mr. Tower didn't seem to be angry, Derrick heaved a sigh of relief. He admired this knowledgeable "powerhouse" who had determined the location of the City of Silver with just his words.
However, the focus of the rest of the people present wasn't on who The Sun's ancestor believed in, but the words "Omnipotent and Omniscient God."
They were no strangers to the "Lord that created everything." The Creator ntioned in the legends of the deities like the Book of Storms and The Revelation of Evernight had similar titles. The True Creator that the Aurora Order and other secret organizations believed in was also given the sa title.
However, this was the first ti that everyone had heard of the "Omnipotent and Omniscient God" in this world. Be it the Evernight Goddess, the Lord of Storms, or the God of Steam and Machinery, none of them claid to be omniscient or omnipotent.
Apart from Klein, who had heard The Sun's description alone, and who knew what was going on inside, the other three fell into deep thought.
Elsewhere, Derrick didn't notice the pensive looks on Justice and company's faces. He composed himself and continued,
"In the first few decades after being forsaken by the Lord, plants couldn't grow, and the City of Silver was severely lacking in food. We could only hunt dark monsters with physical bodies and so mutated animals to relieve our hunger. The population began to drop uncontrollably. Fortunately, we later found Black-Faced Grass. It could survive in such an environnt, and it beca our reliable and stable food source.
"It was believed to be the final blessing left behind by the great God, allowing the City of Silver to persist for generations. It lasted for 2582 years in the Dark Ages.
"This is the ti recorded by past Chiefs. The other residents of the City of Silver use relatively more lightning as day, and when the lightning subsides, it becos night. One takes a day... As this is often chaotic, we are unable to grasp the exact number of days."
Derrick stopped after briefly explaining the few morable incidents in the history of the City of Silver. He clearly realized that it was inevitable that he would divulge valuable information if he kept talking. And this information could be used to exchange for his resources for advancent.
After secretly sighing for the City of Silver's harsh living environnt, Audrey snapped back to her senses and sighed. "Thankfully, you found the Black-Faced Grass and stubbornly survived."
"Yes... This might be the final blessing of the Lord..." Derrick lowered his head, his voice revealing a hint of pain.
"What's the title of the Lord you believe in, 'He' is Omnipotent and Omniscient?" Alger asked.
"I don't know... It's sacrilegious to randomly guess the Lord's title..." Derrick replied, stumped.
Although entering The Fool's kingdom is the greatest form of blasphemy against the Lord... He really doesn't know the aning behind it, nor has he read about it in books.
"Is that so..." Alger nodded before glancing at the silent "Tower" beside him. He asked seemingly casually, "Regarding this, Mr. Tower, do you know anything? Can you tell us?"
After all, "Tower" was soone who could deduce the Forsaken Land of the Sun with just a few words. He definitely had a deep understanding of that place.
Nice question! Klein's mind stirred when he heard that. In fact, he had long wanted to ask Tower such a question. Unfortunately, as The Fool, it wasn't appropriate for him to ask.
Ebner could naturally tell what Alger was thinking, but he couldn't be bothered to nitpick. He hesitated for a mont before deciding to divulge so information. Hence, he deliberated over his words and said,
"Speaking of 'Omnipotent and Omniscient,' I do know a little... Do you think that among the twenty-two Beyonder pathways, which of them can represent 'Omniscient' and which of them can represent 'Omnipotent?'"
