"Ahead is the farthest base for Yuecheng's exploration."

This stronghold has entered the angel's field of vision, and Klein saw it through the sharing of spiritual links. In the distance, he saw several huge and flexible roofs stretched between several weathered walls and broken stone pillars.

, a tent was set up against the wall in the corner, and several tents were connected together to form a small camp with about ten people.

It's morning now, a little before lunch time, and this team seems to have no intention of continuing to explore.

There are four people guarding the stronghold, two people are standing guard, and two people are making a fire with collected dead branches and weeds. The water in the pot they just set up has not yet heated up. There is also a small cloth beside them.

The pocket seemed to be ready for cooking when the hunting party came back.

The huge monster's body parts were placed in the corner of the camp, covered with cloth that was probably used to waterproof, antiseptic and prevent the odor from escaping.

Klein saw the woman who was preparing to cook stand up, use her deformed left arm to pull out the knife hanging from her waist, and slowly cut off a piece of edible meat from the monster with weird tumors and muscle structure.

, blood slowly flowed out of the wound like thick black-red oil. Klein frowned, as if he could imagine the pungent stench, but there was nothing strange about Moon City's team.

Immediately afterwards, the woman with a slightly deformed body took out a dried mushroom from the cloth pocket on her waist.

Klein's expression became unnatural for a moment.

The female Extraordinary inserted what looked like a dried mushroom into the piece of black monster flesh in her hand.

In the blink of an eye, the shriveled white mushroom gradually filled up at a speed visible to the naked eye. Thin black threads continued to climb up the canopy along the roots of the mushroom, gradually dyeing the layers of mycelium and caps into strange colors.

Deep black.

At the same time, the monster's flesh seemed to have less black color.

"That seems to be..." Seeing this, Hermes finally found the source of the familiarity and looked at Klein and Medici beside him, "The mushroom that has had its growth rules and logic changed, this is the mushroom named Frank Lee

It’s the work of a young man, right?”

The corners of Klein's mouth twitched and he nodded: "That's right."

Hermes smiled when he heard this, and even adjusted his expression and collar to show respect for Frank's work:

"Frank is a young man with great ideas. His improved wheat seeds have a very high yield. Although it can only be maintained for three generations, the yield increase of about 40% has been unmatched. Together with his plant-based pork, it is now also growing due to this.

Theis shines positively. Our people have only just accepted the existence of the extraordinary world this year, and these wonderful and fancy mushrooms have been a little difficult to accept, but both are fine."

After saying that, he looked at Klein, then at Medici, and asked in a curious tone:

"Speaking of which, I have always had a question. Frank is a sailor who belongs to the 'Star Pirate Group', and the leader of this pirate group is a member of the Church of the Hidden Sage, the God of Knowledge and Mystery..."

"I have gotten along with him privately because of some cooperation projects between churches. He is a simple and enthusiastic child who will pay ten or even a hundred times the kindness and affirmation of others. However, he said that he is not a fool.

' is not a favored person of the Creator, nor a believer of the God of Mysteries. He insists that he is just his mother's child. He believes in the preciousness of life and the joy of harvest, so he helps others... How did such a special person become the fool?

'Selected by the Beloved to be responsible for providing material support to the Eastern Continent?"

Well, because Gehrman Sparrow, the favored one of "The Fool", praised Frank before realizing his shocking thoughts, so he successfully established trust and friendship with Frank during the rest of the journey...

…

Klein originally wanted to take a sneak peek at Medici to see if the other person was gloating and waiting for him to tell his lie or pretending not to hear, and then decide whether to tell the truth based on Medici's expression and attitude, but when he thought about it again, he was standing next to him.

The one he is holding is an angel from the "audience" path. Although he is only missing one sequence, his "little expressions" and "micro-movements" are, in the eyes of Hermes, the same as using a spotlight and a loudspeaker to express his inner voice.

Shout out... Klein cleared his throat and smiled at Hermes:

"This is because of Mr. Frank's beliefs."

"He, uh, his beliefs are firm, which makes his thoughts and behaviors a bit unique compared to others..." Klein wanted to say something sensational, but he thought about it and thought about it again, and decided to

View Frank with complete tolerance and approval.

After all, if this great inventor had not provided "The Fool" with such safe, hygienic and multifunctional mushrooms, how could the "Fool", who had no money and no power, boast of saving Haikou of Silver City?

Buy food?

It's impossible, because the Eastern Continent cannot grow food or breed meat, and the residents are still half-giants with an average height of about two meters. You can tell with your toes that this is definitely a huge expense, and Klein can only

You can choose to prioritize ensuring your own food and clothing.

If we had chosen material assistance, we would have bought out the rich a long time ago.

After all, Mr. Dwayne Dantès does not have any big business or wealth in the Southern Continent. It is lucky that his assets can maintain the operation of his mansion and manor, plus some necessary charity and social expenditures. Not to mention

Provided some support to survivors in distant continents.

That's why Frank's appearance and help are particularly important. It can even be said that it played a decisive role in the conversion process of Silver City and Moon City, and helped the "Fool" even more than the true Creator.

Because people in the Eastern Continent are more practical, illusory beliefs and promises can only be regarded as spiritual sustenance, and tangible food is the real salvation. So, after making the promise, the "Fool"'s salvation came just in time,

This allowed the people in these two cities to see hope, see the future and light, feel that they could trust the "Fool", and did not feel that this was the second abandonment by the Creator.

If there were no Frank's mushrooms, even if the True Creator asked believers to convert, the probability of believers converting would be very low.

Klein felt that he had to thank Frank.

Once he changed his mind and looked at Frank from the perspective of a "friend" or even a "good brother", Klein understood more and more the people of the Eastern Continent's pursuit and recognition of Frank, and felt that it was not impossible to make him an angel of abundance...

Check it out!

"...In short, that's it."

Klein's expression changed a few times, but he still praised Frank as objectively as possible: "He has great ideas and truly implements his will to praise life and harvest, but some of his ideas are really... difficult to understand."

accepted by the public.”

Let Frank continue to advance... Although the world will not be destroyed, there will definitely be something disturbing.

"Yes." Hermes nodded with deep understanding, "He needs more restrictions and more standardized testing rules."

But Frank is truly creative, and it would be a pity if his development was restricted just because of some "unsafe" ideas.

Just when Hermes and Klein entered a tacit silence, Medici seemed to finally realize who the creator of the mushrooms they were discussing was. He looked at the mushrooms and asked with some surprise:

"This guy also has mushrooms? How many other products are there that I don't know about?"

And mushrooms? What does that mean? How many things did Frank supply to the Aurora Society? No, no, no, besides these multifunctional mushrooms and pork that can grow from plants, what else did he invent?

Klein was startled and suddenly felt uneasy. The admiration and recognition he had just gained for Frank were severely suppressed once again.

However, Medici did not stay on this topic for much longer. When they were discussing Frank, the color of the pure black meat in the hands of the female guard of Moon City had become much lighter, as if the deep-rooted toxins in the meat had been absorbed by that

The mushrooms were removed. Then, the woman carefully took out some mushroom powder with warm purifying power from another pocket, sprinkled it into the boiling water, and finally broke the meat into small pieces and put it in.

Klein silently glanced at the mushroom powder that clearly had the purifying power of the "sun" pathway.

"They are preparing lunch. It is inevitable for people to relax a little while eating. In order to prevent any accidents, I will go to their dreams to check the situation and ask for some information."

Hermes then looked at Medici: "Your Highness the Red Angel, please pay attention to my situation at all times. Once I put on the monocle..."

Medici nodded, his expression a little more serious than before:

"From the time we set foot on the Eastern Continent, we have already entered the attention of the big snake. Good luck favors you and me, so please proceed with caution."

Klein's heart suddenly lifted again, and he silently prayed for Hermes.

About ten minutes later, a small team slowly approached this stronghold in the distance. The people who came were all wearing clothes made of animal skins. They must be people who went out from this stronghold. These people's bodies also have different weights.

There were various deformities and mutations, but they still remained within the scope of human beings. Carrying some monster meat and dried plants either in their hands or on their shoulders, they quickly entered the stronghold.

After being busy for a while, they started to eat and change shifts. The people who stayed just now went to stand guard outside the stronghold.

Hermes nodded towards Klein and Medici. The pupils in his eyes quietly narrowed and stood up as he looked at a person in the distant stronghold.

The man's eyes were confused for a moment, with a slim body and a waist that was too slender, like a funnel. Then he yawned, as if he had naturally dozed off under the noon sun after eating and drinking enough.

Hermes easily entered his dream ocean and saw a sun-shrouded land and a city-state that was gradually becoming prosperous.

…

Derrick finished his prayers according to his daily routine, sat down in the first row of the chapel, and let his spirit and mood gradually calm down.

Today's Silver City is still the same as before. People hunt, patrol, live normally, receive rations of mushrooms and meat, pray, train, rest... Nothing has changed at all. Derrick feels that nothing has changed at all.

He likes such a peaceful life with a little surprise and happiness. At the same time, he also hopes that everyone's life will be better and better.

"If only mom and dad were still alive...if only they weren't hurt that day..."

He breathed out gently, closed his eyes, and the regret rushing in his heart surfaced again.

No one came to disturb him, and the church was always quiet, with only the sounds of everyone breathing and whispering prayers.

Derrick stayed for a while and then walked out quietly. It was already noon, and he planned to go to the training ground to watch his friends practice, and by the way, he would also go to the place where he received food. He wanted to eat fish-flavored mushrooms today.

A few big mushrooms, a few big apples, some meat that has been cleansed of toxins, half a black-faced grass bread and some crispy doom berries are the most common sumptuous meal in Silver City today.

He greeted familiar people all the way to the training ground at a discount. As soon as he arrived, he saw that the friends who had come with him had finished their morning training and were walking shoulder to shoulder in the direction of the food distribution area.

When Derrick came over, they nodded friendly.

"Good afternoon, our envoy."

The warrior, who was half a head taller than Derrick, smiled and lightly punched his shoulder: "What are you going to do later?"

Derrick was hit lightly but not too hard, and he slapped him back with a smile:
To be continued...
