Chapter 19 The Hanged Man Alger: The priestess is a high-sequence warrior!
Alger glanced at the old man on the right, trying to find out the information about the new member.

“His hair is gray, and his face is obscured by the gray fog, but he should be a very old man… Why would Mr. Fool bring such an old man here? What’s so special about him? At such an old age, is there any room for him to grow? Is he already a High-Sequence Expert?”

Thinking of this, Alger straightened his back and stiffened. He noticed that the old man kept looking at him, focusing on his hair and the clothes on his body.

"He's observing me? Why? Miss Justice across from me is obviously more attractive... Mr. Sun on his right is also dressed in a special way, as if he is not in the same world as us. Why is he carefully examining me alone? What information have I revealed?"

Cold sweat broke out on Alger's back, and he couldn't help but examine himself seriously.

"Mr. Fool's protection of each member's true identity is a kind of blurring and distortion of the image, but this does not affect the expression of color. The closer brown and brown are indeed difficult to distinguish, but the bright colors can still be grasped. At least I can clearly know that Miss Justice has blonde hair and bright green eyes...

"And my most obvious feature that cannot be concealed is my dark blue hair... But this doesn't prove anything. It's fine to say that a common variation of the 'Sailor' pathway is dark blue hair, but the reverse is not true, because this feature can be inherited. On Sonia Island, in the violent area of ​​the Disi Bay, where elves originally gathered, many people with a faint elven bloodline also have dark blue hair. Ha, the same is true in areas where there are more than a certain number of Beyonders in the Storm Church..."

Alger breathed a sigh of relief. Based on this alone, it would be difficult for the "priestess" to infer further information from this situation.

"Miss Justice is about to finish digesting the 'audience' potion..." Alger sighed. As the one who guided her onto the path of audience, he knew very well that Miss Justice had only been a Beyonder for about a month. "If I had known the acting method in advance, then... no, there would be no change... Even if I had finished digesting it, the Church would not have given me the potion."

"'Psychoanalyst?'" Alger couldn't help but look at Mr. Sun. "Are they still using the ancient term instead of the modern 'psychologist'? But since they also have a potion system, then this world should still be... an extremely closed environment? No communication with the outside world?"

He noticed that the priestess on his right was also looking at Mr. Sun with interest, and her attention was finally not on him. "Huh!" Alger involuntarily moved his body to relax his stiff back.

But Alger discovered that Miss Justice's attention was also on Mr. Sun, so she had enough energy to observe the three people including him... and that was a spectator... He saw Miss Justice's green eyes shining, and he felt a little regretful. Why did she put a spectator under his nose? Isn't this asking for trouble?

"I can help you get this formula! This is a sequence that originated from the dragon clan, and our Silver City was once under the rule of the Giant King's Court. As you know, giants and dragons are mortal enemies. So, Silver City has 9, 8, and 7 of this sequence, and I have a way to get them." Sun explained with a guilty conscience.

"The dragon clan? The Giant King's Court? Silver City? Giants and dragons are mortal enemies?"

Alger's heart was trembling, and he had many doubts. He straightened his relaxed back again, held on to the long bronze table with both hands, and cast his eyes towards the sun, examining the new member again.

At the same time, he also discovered that the priestess was also a little out of control. The old man was holding the long bronze table with his left hand, and he was as shocked and confused as himself.

“Ha, so you can be shocked sometimes.” Alger felt more balanced and immediately looked at Mr. Fool at the top, asking for help.

At the very top, shrouded in gray fog, The Fool sits on a high-backed chair, his right elbow resting on the armrest, his palm resting leisurely on his slightly tilted head. He is not surprised, not puzzled, without thinking or doubting, and only watches all this with a smile in his eyes.

He knew... he knew everything... Audrey and Alger made a positive judgment in their hearts almost at the same time.

"Silver City, I've never heard of this place...where is it?" Audrey asked tentatively.

After hearing this, Alger secretly applauded in his heart, "Good question, Miss Justice. The Tarot Club can be without anyone except you!"

Then he pricked up his ears, hoping to get further information from the sun's answer. "You are not citizens of the Silver City, which city-state are you from?" The sun's tone was very direct.

Alger turned around. It was obvious that the other party didn't want to reveal more... This was a question. Since you don't want to answer similar questions, don't ask about other people's cities... He remained silent.

At this moment, he heard an old but powerful voice, which froze Alger's body again: "Silver City, Giant King's Court, have you heard of... elves?"

The word "elf" confused Alger's thoughts. He dared not make any unnecessary movements with his body, nor any unnecessary expressions on his face, lest he expose his extremely confused heart.

Alger's hair was originally dark blue, and it was not a mutation after drinking the sailor potion... He was a half-blood with a certain amount of elf blood... The dark blue hair was an external manifestation of his genetic heritage.

"Elf?" Sun's questioning voice came. He recalled the history textbook of the general education class and said:
"I have never seen elves, but the textbooks describe them as being very violent and often angry. This may be related to their king, the Elf King Sonyathorem."

"After the Lord who created everything, the omniscient and almighty God awakened, he took back the authority of the ancient gods such as the Elf King, the Giant King, and the Dragon King. We who were ruled by the Giant King's Court were also redeemed by the Lord."

"Since then, extraordinary races such as elves, giants, and dragons have withdrawn from the stage of history and have become rare."

"Until today, in the Dark Ages, we have never seen any species other than humans...except monsters."

Alger immediately determined that Sun was probably not very old... or that he was not experienced enough in handling things and did not have much extraordinary experience.

——The priestess next to him was able to draw out so much information about Sun with just one sentence, which was enough to show that Sun was not used to such situations and always gave too detailed answers.

Alger's thoughts raced as he tried to analyze everything that Taiyang had said:
"There's actually not much useful information in this passage. The secret chapter of the Book of Storms contains records about the Second Age, which is also known as the 'Dark Age' of mankind. The only difference from the description of the sun is that the three most ancient gods, the Lord of Storms, the Eternal Sun, and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, led mankind to defeat the extraordinary creatures, rather than the 'Lord of Creation, the All-Knowing and Almighty God'."

"'The Lord who created everything' is a similar title to the creator in the Book of Storms, Apocalypse of the Night, and folklore. The 'true creator' believed in by secret organizations such as the Aurora Society is also given the same description."

"But the 'omniscient and omnipotent god'... whether it is the Lord of Storms, the Goddess of Night, or the God of Steam and Machinery, none of them claims to be omniscient and omnipotent."

"So, which god does Silver City believe in? Who does that honorable name refer to?"

The same question also arose in the minds of Justice Audrey, Fool Klein, and Priestess Old Blue.

Well, the priestess was pretending, I can testify to that.

 First update, thanks for watching!
