Chapter 87: Inferring the Whole from Details

After a brief moment of thought, The Hermit Cattleya made the choice most advantageous to herself. Without showing any emotion, she said, “I will first look over what common monsters exist around the City of Silver before deciding.”

Another one freeloading information… Do people who spend too long at sea all become so skilled at taking advantage of others? Or perhaps Little Sun’s posture is just too perfect, making people unable to resist fleecing him… The Fool Klein instinctively excluded himself from the ranks of those freeloading without paying.

“Alright.” Under the gazes of Justice and the others, The Sun Derrick agreed to Madam Hermit’s request without the slightest hesitation.

He recalled the information and materialized it, listing the common monsters in the regions surrounding the City of Silver. It was not as detailed as the previous time and had quite a few omissions. After all, the Sun pathway’s enhancement of memory was fairly limited, and many days had already passed.

The Hermit Cattleya accepted the document and began reading it seriously.

The more she read, the more alarmed she became, because the number of monster species far exceeded her imagination—dozens, perhaps even hundreds of times more than she had expected!

Most of the names used were ancient terms. If she had not been a member of the Moses Ascetic Order, pursued by knowledge, and if she had not already reached Sequence 5, with broad experience and extensive learning, she would have had no way of knowing what many of those names truly referred to.

Even so, quite a few of the monsters remained ones she had never heard of, like things from dreams or imagination—“shadows” hiding deep within the darkness, never truly revealing themselves.

Where exactly is the City of Silver? How can so many monsters exist there? After ten-odd seconds, Cattleya raised her head. Her expression remained unchanged, and her tone was steady as she said, “Use the history of the City of Silver in exchange.”

“Alright.” The Sun Derrick’s eyes brightened, as though he had seen the dawn of his advancement.

With Mr. Fool’s help, he soon materialized the outline of the City of Silver’s history textbook. Having accumulated a fair amount of experience, he knew that more complete and detailed content was worth far more than the fruit of a Radiant Pact Spirit Tree, so he held some information back.

The Hermit Cattleya knew that she was not Mr. Fool, and it was impossible to make the other members wait patiently while she read. Therefore, after casually flipping through it and confirming its value, she considered her words and asked, “How should I give you the fruit of the Radiant Pact Spirit Tree?”

The moment she finished speaking, she suddenly thought of several things and formed a guess. She turned her head toward the seat at the head of the bronze long table and asked, “Mr. Fool, is it by means of sacrifice?”

Justice Audrey, who had already prepared the answer on the same side, was visibly stunned for a moment, swallowing back the words that had reached her lips.

Madam Hermit is really knowledgeable and impressive. She immediately guessed the use of sacrifice and bestowment! Audrey controlled the tiny movements of her face and inwardly clicked her tongue in admiration.

“Mm.” Klein nodded lightly, offering no further explanation.

He believed that a pirate admiral, a Sequence 5 powerhouse of the Mystery Pryer pathway, could not possibly be ignorant of how to perform a sacrifice. This was even one of their specialties. Moreover, the other party already knew The Fool’s honorific name, so there was no lack of any necessary condition.

As expected, with a true deity present and witnessing the gathering, sacrifice and bestowment are the most convenient and safest transaction method… And communication at the spiritual-body level can directly solve the exchange of knowledge… The Hermit Cattleya gave thanks, then turned to The Sun and…
