Chapter 595: Praise the Stars, Praise the Fool

Chapter 595: Praise the Stars, Praise the Fool

After the brief illumination of the dark world by a fallen sun, the temperature in the forsaken land of the god dropped significantly. The City of Silver, previously shrouded in darkness and lightning, now had a new landscape.

Snow. Endless, heavy snow, accumulating knee-deep.

This scenery, only recorded in books, brought joy and excitement to the residents of the City of Silver. From the elderly to the children, everyone engaged in snowball fights and built snowmen, reveling in the rare delight.

Even the usually composed Chief Colin joined in the fun for a day. However, the celebration was followed by deep concern.

The cold weather brought by the heavy snow did not bother the physically strong residents of the City of Silver, but it devastated the already struggling crops.

The problem of food shortages grew more severe with time.

If they could not leave this land of suffering, the City of Silver would become a ruin for future generations to mourn.

To overcome this challenge, the City of Silver sent several exploration teams to the ruins of the Giant King's Court, but none returned alive.

With no other options, Chief Colin led the residents in sacrificing a portion of their precious food to hold another sacrificial ceremony to the stars and the Fool, hoping the gods would notice them and guide them to a way of survival.

Their devout prayers seemed to draw the attention of the gods.

The next day, two figures, not from the City of Silver, walked steadily through the snow from the east and west.

Excited, Chief Colin quickly dispatched two teams to welcome the visitors.

One was Mr. A, who had left the City of Silver before, and the other was Bernadette, dressed as a sage.

Chief Colin personally went out to greet them, and Little Sun Derrick followed the team excitedly.

He had recently prayed to Mr. Fool for help, and Mr. Fool had told him that a messenger of hope was on the way.

Only a day had passed, and two visitors from the outside world arrived simultaneously. Praise Mr. Fool!

The residents of the City of Silver welcomed the two visitors into the city and led them to the council hall.

"Divine envoys, have you brought new hope for us?" Chief Colin asked, his eyes trembling with hope as he looked at Mr. A and Bernadette.

Elder Lovia's gaze was fixed on Mr. A.

The once handsome Mr. A now had torn clothes, messy hair, and an unkempt beard, clearly having neglected his appearance for a long time.

He looked like a beggar compared to the exquisitely dressed white sage beside him.

But Mr. A's eyes were filled with determination and a clear insight, a transformation from deep within his soul.

Bernadette did not speak first but observed the people of the City of Silver one by one. Mr. A smiled and said, "The gods have not given me any revelations, but I believe they will not ignore your suffering."

On the day of the anomaly in the forsaken land of the god, he ended his journey and returned to the City of Silver.

Though the gods did not give him any revelations, he felt their presence everywhere, and his faith grew stronger.

The stars, the only true god he now worshipped.

Chief Colin was somewhat disappointed by his words and had Mr. A taken away to freshen up.

"Follow me," Elder Lovia offered to lead Mr. A to wash and rest.

"Sometimes, the symbolic meaning is far greater than what your eyes can see," Bernadette said in defense of Mr. A.

The fact that Mr. A appeared outside the City of Silver today alongside her was a significant symbol.

Although Mr. A did not directly hear the gods' revelations, his return itself was a beacon of hope and light.

Chief Colin trembled slightly, understanding the weight of her words. He apologized, "I was blinded by the current plight of the City of Silver and acted rudely."

Bernadette did not dwell on the topic but said, "The gods guided me here to lead you out of this land of suffering. You may call me the Sage."

God's guidance?

Derrick grasped this keyword precisely, feeling even more joyful. This must be the divine envoy sent by Mr. Fool!

No, this is the Sage!

The day for the City of Silver to leave the forsaken land of the god had finally arrived!

Praise Mr. Fool once again!

Chief Colin was also delighted but cautiously asked, "Which god has bestowed this grace?"

The City of Silver had held several sacrifices recently, praying to more than one god.

Such an important question needed clarification to avoid offending the wrong deity and incurring divine wrath.

Bernadette's gaze swept over the residents of the City of Silver, "The god who guided me has helped you before."

Her original answer should have been, "I am a follower of the stars."

But the stars told her to give a vague answer, sharing some faith with the Fool.

This was also why the stars sent Klein, disguised as Gehrman Sparrow, to accompany her to the forsaken land of the god.

Each sending a follower to the City of Silver to share its faith was the agreement between the stars and the Fool.

Unfortunately, Klein seemed to have encountered some trouble upon arriving in the forsaken land of the god, even attracting the attention of God.

The reason for this was beyond her investigation.

"This..." Chief Colin hesitated, looking troubled.

"The stars and the Fool," Bernadette slowly uttered the two names.

"Praise the stars!"

"Praise the Fool!"

Chief Colin quickly reacted, and the other residents of the City of Silver followed suit, praising the stars and the Fool.

Derrick clenched his fist secretly. It was indeed Mr. Fool!

"I understand the situation here, but I need someone to clarify some details," Bernadette said.

After arriving, Derrick left the council hall, crossed the square, and returned home to pray devoutly to Mr. Fool.

As he recited his prayer, a vague figure silently appeared beside him, unnoticed by Derrick, who continued to recite Mr. Fool's full name.

Above the gray fog, Klein intended to respond to Little Sun Derrick's prayer. But at that moment, the gray fog thickened, forming a gray dome, completely enveloping the Sealed Artifact.

Klein immediately sensed something was wrong. Such a defensive state could only mean one thing: the terrifying entity lurking in the depths of the Giant King's Court was now beside Derrick!

The tingling sensation on his scalp made Klein refrain from responding to Derrick's prayer, choosing to remain silent.

In the City of Silver, Derrick waited for a while, not receiving a response from Mr. Fool. He found it strange but understood that Mr. Fool might be dealing with important matters and had no time for him.

"Praise Mr. Fool," Derrick silently praised, then prepared to leave his room and see if Chief Colin needed any help.

"Fool?"

A light voice sounded in his ear, startling Derrick. This feeling was even more terrifying than when he encountered Amon.

He instinctively retreated, his back hitting the wall with a thud. He exclaimed, "Who are you? How did you appear in my room?"

"The Fool not of this era, the mysterious ruler above the gray fog, the KING IN YELLOW and black WHO WIELD GOOD LUCK ," the vague figure said with a smile, reciting the three-part honorific.

This scene made Derrick feel like his rationality was exploding. He only wanted to escape, to get away from this mysterious entity.

"I stayed in the forsaken land of the god because I sensed I would gain something significant here, and I was right."

"Who are you?" Derrick asked again, trembling.

"god almighty," god almighty replied cheerfully, "You can report my presence to your Fool. Tell him I'm interested in meeting and chatting."

Derrick remained silent, his eyes firm. He would not let his mere life affect Mr. Fool!

"I have no interest in taking your life," god almighty said, looking up at the Sealed Artifact's direction and laughing, "Fool, huh, Lord Of Mysteries, it seems you haven't awakened yet."

god almighty knew Lord Of Mysteries as well as himself. If Lord Of Mysteries had awakened, he would not avoid him every time he appeared.

Normally, Lord Of Mysteries would come to the Giant King's Court to mock him, but now the situation was the opposite.

Of course, this could also be Lord Of Mysteries's trick, as he always enjoyed such things.
