Chapter 86 Sun Derrick: Vampires are unpalatable, even when roasted they are still unpalatable
"As for why he turned into a 'vampire', it should be the effect of the potion. I don't know the details because we lack the potion formula for this method..."

Sun Derrick saw that the woman with the sweet voice on the other side seemed to have her fantasy shattered. Her obvious excitement just now turned into shock. Then she thanked him sincerely and politely and stopped talking.

Then he realized that he had said too much again.

Mr. Fool specially summoned him in advance and told him not to ask other people's secrets casually, that was impolite behavior... But how could vampires be related to handsomeness and beauty? They... were all monsters, and even after being roasted, they were still unpalatable, Derrick thought silently.

The previous topic ended because of Derrick's description, and Alger, the "Hanged Man", immediately said:

"Mr. Fool, Miss Justice, Mr. Priestess, I have obtained a new piece of intelligence. Vice Admiral Hurricane Qilingos infiltrated Backlund to complete a difficult mission. He may stay there for a long time and commit a horrific tragedy. In addition, I also know that this matter involves a very important item that can help Qilingos quickly become a High-Sequence Powerhouse."

A high-sequence expert? Above Sequence 4... The Lieutenant General that Mr. Hanged Man mentioned last time? His goal is a Saint-level Sealed Artifact? If one can control a Saint-level Sealed Artifact, one can indeed have the strength of a high-sequence expert in a short period of time...

Derrick listened carefully, even though he had no idea what Qilingos was or what a lieutenant general was... The Hanged Man Alger continued:

"Of course, this is all my speculation. The intelligence I received is this: Qi Lingos believes that once he completes the commission and obtains the item, he will soon be able to be on par with the 'Five Sea Kings' Nast and others, turning the 'Four Kings' among pirates into 'Five Kings' and reducing the number of pirate generals to six.

"Ordinary people may not know this, but as Beyonders, we should all know that the 'Four Kings' among the pirates are either directly High-Sequence Warriors, or possess High-Sequence combat power with the cooperation of Beyonder ships and magical items. If Qi Lingos wants to be recognized and equal to them, he must have a similar level, so I speculated that way."

Derrick was confused by this series of terms. Pirates? Ocean? The ocean described in books? This was too different from the environment around the City of Silver!

He unconsciously looked in the direction of the Hanged Man, wanting to see some other information, but suddenly discovered that the priestess in the middle had a strange expression. The old man's expression was so obvious that he didn't even hide it.

The Hanged Man, who was about to say something else, obviously noticed the strangeness of the priestess and looked to the right with some confusion. Miss Justice on the opposite side also attracted her attention. Then the priestess stroked her chin and said:

"Qilingus, huh, Mr. Hanged Man, your intelligence may need to be updated.

"This 'Vice Admiral Hurricane' has done something big in Backlund, successfully increasing his own popularity and bounty.

"The three Loen churches have issued another wanted order and are conducting a strict investigation of Backlund...

"This matter has spread throughout the three major churches. Well, it's possible that you haven't heard about it yet."

Although Derrick still couldn't understand the events described by the "priestess", he could hear that the old man was surprised that Justice and the Hanged Man didn't know the inside story... Rune? They were all from this country... Three major churches? Which three major churches? What gods did they believe in?
Miss Justice's somewhat anxious words interrupted his thoughts. He heard:
"Mr. Priestess, are you saying that Qilingos showed up in Backlund? What did he do? Could you please describe it in detail? I previously asked two Beyonder friends to help with the investigation, and I am very worried that they will be in danger... I will pay you! 1000 pounds! What do you think?"

The unit of "pound" again... It seems that this kind of currency is more commonly used in the "outside" world... Derrick did not speak. He had no understanding of this incident, and even less interest in understanding it. He just listened.

He looked up at the top and found that Mr. Fool was in a similar state to him, but more relaxed...

Mr. Hanged Man was a little, uh, surprised? Panic? It was too obvious...

Derrick examined the members of the party and heard the priestess say:
“Things are a bit complicated, and the people and organizations involved are not simple.

"Since you still don't know about this in Backlund, it means your family is protecting you very well. I can't let your parents' expectations go to waste.

"I can reveal some things briefly, and it's free of charge." Qi Lingos killed a wealthy man whose identity was questionable. Many people even thought that the killing was a good thing.

“There are no extraordinary women among the victims, and your friends should be safe.

"By the way, this incident was named the 'Devil Angel' incident."

Demon? Derrick finally heard a familiar word and said quickly:
"Mr. Priestess, the devil, do you mean the 'criminal' path you mentioned before? Was this a crime committed by a devil?"

"Demons... are... similar, right? Well, here we also describe extremely vicious people as 'demons', and sometimes they don't refer to Beyonders."

Derrick felt that the priestess was hesitant and seemed to be struggling with something. Suddenly, Miss Justice's serious and earnest voice came from the other side:

“Mr. Priestess, I still insist, I want to know about this matter.

"I am grateful for my parents' protection. Mr. Priestess reminded me of this, and I am very grateful to you. You are a true gentleman...

“But I have entered the circle of extraordinary people, and I am also a member of the Tarot Club.

"I hope you, Mr. Hanged Man, and Mr. Sun will not treat me like a little girl. I want to know more.

"Well, that's it. Um, Mr. Priestess, please don't mind my attitude..."

Derrick nodded. In Silver City, no matter whether male or female, everyone must become a Beyonder. For Beyonders, a firm attitude and awareness are necessary. It seems that Miss Justice lives in a place without any worries... Her parents...

My parents...curse...No, this is not the time to think about this! Focus on listening to what the priestess says! Derrick quickly collected his thoughts and looked at the old man on the left.

The priestess was a little silent, then smiled and said:

"I'm sorry, I underestimated your awareness. Family is your harbor, but you have the right to choose.

"We follow the principle of equivalent exchange proposed by Mr. Fool. 800 pounds, or a main ingredient of a sequence 7 potion. I need the real tuber of the mist tree man and all the spinal fluid of the evil-striped black panther. Well, I wanted to propose this transaction just now.

"Of course, if there are extraordinary materials of a higher sequence, I can also pay gold pounds and knowledge to purchase them... Don't worry, the price is absolutely fair.

“Mr. Sun doesn’t have to pay any money because this matter has almost no impact on you and has no value.

"So, Mr. Hanged Man, are you going to pay the price to listen, or are you going to just watch for a while?"

Sun Derrick nodded, and then, like the other members, looked at the man with dark blue, rough hair.

　Second update, thanks for watching, thanks for your support!
