Chapter 22 Sun Derrick: Mr. Priestess, I want to learn to dance!
Derrick heard what Miss Justice said and said quickly:
"I will get the formula of the Mind Reader potion as soon as possible. I want to use it to exchange for the initial sequence of the Sun pathway."

As long as I become the sun! Become the "Sequence 0" of this path! The City of Silver can be saved, and perhaps the Creator will return...

——In the past two to three thousand years, the expectation of the Creator's return has been shattered time and time again, but it has risen again and again, supporting the hearts of the people of Silver City and fighting against despair and oppression.

However, the thousand-year prayers went unanswered, only Mr. Fool...

Derrick was full of confidence, but also a little sad, for himself and for the City of Silver.

Mr. Hanged Man on the left immediately spoke up, "The Sun Path? The Sequence 9 Chanter?"

Derrick thought about it. He actually didn’t know the name of the sequence of the Sun Pathway—he only knew that there was such a path. He had no choice but to speak:

“It should be this, but I don’t know enough about it.”

At this time, the Fool's laughter was heard. Derrick looked at the top of the long table. The Fool smiled and said:

"I don't think Miss Justice has the recipe for the Chanter."

Derrick saw the lady across from him nod, and then heard the Fool chuckle and say:

"I will give Sun a recipe for the Chanter, and Sun will give Miss Justice the recipe for the Mind Reader potion as soon as possible, and try to do it within two gatherings. Miss Justice will give me the newly acquired Roselle diary, and the deal will be done."

"Well, from the principle of equal exchange, Sun is at a disadvantage, but he has only promised that when he really takes out the Mind Reader formula, Miss Justice will consider how to compensate him. Alternatively, I will compensate him, and Miss Justice will provide me with money to get a follower. He needs to do something recently. Haha, this is because Sun may not receive cash or material compensation from Miss Justice."

"I have no objection." said Miss Justice on the opposite side.

“Neither do I.” Seeing that he could get the starting sequence of the “Sun” pathway on the spot, Derrick nodded without hesitation, not caring about the subsequent compensation at all.

He found that the Priestess on his left and the Hanged Man on his left looked at him with strange eyes, with shock, wonder, and curiosity...

“What happened to them?” Derrick was confused. “Did I handle it wrongly? No, if it’s Mr. Fool… Well, I may not be able to get any compensation…”

Derrick was puzzled when he saw the Fool push his hand forward, and a piece of yellow-brown parchment appeared with words on it. Then the formula appeared in front of him. It was the formula of "The Singer":

"Main material: a crystal sunflower or... a Siren Stone or... auxiliary material: midsummer grass..."

"I haven't heard of some of the names... but there are substitutes... Yeah, it should be no problem. We can find all the materials." Derrick frowned at first, then relaxed. He began to silently memorize the formula of the 'sun' that could bring light.

From the corner of his eye, he saw Miss Justice opposite him materialize a yellow-brown parchment just like Mr. Fool, and then passed it to Mr. Fool. He also saw Mr. Priestess next to him, who had been looking at him silently since she asked the question "Elf".

"The priestess must be very old. In Silver City, such a person can only be a high-sequence expert... otherwise, he would not have reached this age..."

“He has something to ask me?” Derrick came to this conclusion. “He didn’t ask because Mr. Fool and I are both reading…”

Thinking of this, Derrick sped up his memory. Fortunately, he only needed to remember the materials that existed in the City of Silver, which was relatively simple.

“Actually, you don’t have to wait for me.” The Fool’s smiling voice came, and Derrick knew that everyone could communicate now.

"It is our honor," the Hanged Man and the Priestess said in unison, and then they looked at each other again.

Derrick looked at the priestess, but she spoke first: "I am very interested in the dance that your sacrificial ceremony can use to please the sacrificed. Can we exchange ideas?"

Derrick was a little excited when he heard this, and said:

"Is your city-state also holding a sacrificial ceremony for the Creator? No problem, I'm happy to share. The history of Silver City has not been interrupted. Our dance is inherited from two or three thousand years ago. It is a very ancient dance..."

In his opinion, people who hold on in the dark times can help each other. He simply cannot imagine a world with sunshine and daytime.

——Silver City is in darkness all year round, and the time when lightning is frequent is called daytime.

Derrick saw that the priestess was listening attentively, and even Miss Justice on the opposite side was listening. Mr. Fool, who was at the top, held the edge of the table with his right hand and stroked his chin with his left hand... He explained in great detail, and he wanted to dance on the spot, but he knew that this was not the City of Silver, but the kingdom of Mr. Fool, who was almost like a god.

“These are the sacrificial dances I know. I’m not very good at dancing, so I’m not that precise…” Derrick was a little embarrassed and scratched his head.

"No," the priestess said with a smile:

"Your explanation was very good. It helped me a lot. I still need to improve my dancing posture..."

"Also, Mr. Sun, I seem to have realized that you... don't seem to be in the same world as us?"

"And I don't believe in the Creator, but the great Mr. Fool!"

Derrick was confused at first, but suddenly realized, "Sure enough, we are not in the same world...Their clothes and accessories are all styles I have never seen before, and they are much more exquisite than those in Silver City...Believe in the Fool? Sure enough, Mr. Fool is a real god..."

He saw that the Hanged Man next to him and Justice opposite him were both surprised. "What are they surprised about? Mr. Priestess only mentioned that Mr. Fool has followers..."

The priestess did not stop and continued:

“Thank you Mr. Fool for letting me join the Tarot Club. I think I understand what Mr. Fool means.”

The old man stood up, bowed to the Fool at the top, and said:

“Mr. Fool, I will definitely learn the most ancient ‘sacrificial dance’ from Mr. Sun to please you and gain your favor…”

The Fool at the top maintained a leisurely posture and nodded freely, as a response to the four gazes looking over.

Derrick was very envious of the priestess, and his eyes almost shone. "The priestess's god is here... He can get the god's response, and he can offer everything to the god... For a believer, this is the greatest happiness..."

Then, he felt sad again. "We, the City of Silver, are willing to sacrifice everything, but our God has never responded to us... the kinslaying curse, the endless darkness, the monsters in the darkness, the madness and mutations accumulated in the monsters' flesh... God, where are you? Can our dance also please you? Perhaps we can combine the knowledge of the priestess..."

Thinking of this, Derrick said:

“Mr. Priestess, can I also ask you for the dance moves you know that can please Mr. Fool? I… want to learn.”

At the same time, he saw Miss Justice opposite him, Mr. Hanged Man on the left of Mr. Priestess, and looked at the old man next to him.
