"Would you like some freshly dried Dumu fruit?" Duck took a small cloth bag from his waist and asked with a smile.

Dum fruit is one of the extremely rare snacks in the City of Silver. It comes from a plant called "Dum blood vine". This creature does not need light and grows by absorbing nutrients from rotting corpses. It has a certain tendency to attack and belongs to the The more common weak monsters.

Each "Dum blood vine" will bear many thumb-sized black fruits, which can be eaten directly, crisp and fragrant, but they cannot fill the stomachs of humans and cannot provide necessary supplements. They can only be used as a daily pastime, a patrol The merits obtained can be exchanged for several large bags.

"No, no need." Derrick shook his head cautiously.

"Okay." Duck poured out a bunch of black fruits from the small cloth bag, picked up one, stuffed it into his mouth, and bit it with a crackling sound.

Derrick thought for a while and asked, "Did you encounter any monsters in the underground part of that temple?"

Dak stopped chewing, and replied with a smile: "There are quite a few, but they are not very powerful. They were easily eliminated by us. It has been destroyed for a long time, and the powerful monsters should have left long ago."

He paused for a second, drew the corners of his mouth and said, "We found some strange plants at the bottom of the temple. They look like the mushrooms recorded in the general education class. They grow very brightly and make people full of appetite just by looking at them.

"It has been confirmed that they can be eaten directly, which can improve spirituality and strengthen the body. If they are paired with grilled monsters, they will emit an unimaginable fragrance."

While speaking, he took out a palm-sized mushroom-shaped object from another small cloth bag. The handle was as white as jade, and the canopy was bright red and dotted with dark golden spots.

Just seeing this plant, Derrick couldn't help swallowing, as if he had been hungry for several days.

Under the light of the dim candlelight, the beautiful mushroom-shaped thing has a seductive color all the time, which especially stimulates the appetite, making it difficult to control.

"Here's one." Duck smiled warmly.

"Okay, okay..." Derrick almost immediately picked up the mushroom-shaped plant and stuffed it into his mouth, but he finally endured it and opened his mouth reluctantly, "I'll try it tomorrow."

Dak didn't say much, and pushed the "mushroom" in front of Derrick, while he continued to bite the Dumu fruit.

It took a lot of effort for Derrick to move his eyes away from "Mushroom", and asked with difficulty: "Did you find anything during this exploration?"

"Yes!" Duck stopped eating snacks, held a black Dumu fruit, and replied very seriously, "We found many murals, coherent murals, do you still remember the statue in the temple? ?�

"Yes." Derrick glanced at "Mushroom", nodded and said, "It's a huge cross with a naked man hanged upside down, and a lot of blood was deliberately smeared on its surface."

Dak turned Dumugo in his hand and said: "The newly discovered murals tell us that the builders of the temple believed that the statue represented the Lord who created everything, the all-knowing and omnipotent God. They believed that the Lord did not abandon this land. Instead, when the catastrophe came, it helped us bear most of the sins, so we changed from standing upright to hanging upside down, from walking freely to being crucified on the cross, and shed blood on our behalf.

"God's grace is like a sea. We are not the abandoned ones, but the favored ones. There is no Lord who will bear the sins and shed blood on our behalf. The City of Silver would have been destroyed long ago, and human beings would have ceased to exist long ago!"

However, in the outside world, in the Loen Kingdom where Mister "The Hanged Man" and Miss "Justice" are located, there is no curse at all, no extreme darkness, no monsters in the depths of the darkness... We are not the favored people... Derrick silently retorted in his heart.

"If that's true, we only need to change some of the symbols and the corresponding names during the sacrifice, and we can regain the Lord's response..." Dak talked about the murals at the bottom of the temple, talking about his own guesses. , and Derrick found it increasingly difficult to resist the temptation of that "mushroom".

No, can't eat! If you eat it, you may be completely polluted by the "Fallen Creator" like Dake and the others, and become fanatical believers... Even if there are monitors, they will not find the problem... Derrick panicked and felt that he had to do something What to get out of the current situation.

Get rid of Duck and give him back the "mushroom"? However, this is tantamount to giving up the opportunity... The opportunity... Derrick's eyes subconsciously turned to the dimly burning candle.

"I'll get you a glass of water." He quickly went through the plan he had discussed with Mr. "The Hanged Man" in his mind, and stood up calmly.

While Dak nodded, he threw the thumb-sized black dum fruit into his mouth, and the snapping sound echoed crisply.

When Derrick was pouring the water, he deliberately slowed down, lowered his head, and recited the honorable name of Mister Fool, and at the end said: "Your faithful servant begs for your attention;"

"Pray that you accept his offering;"

"I pray that you will open the gate of the kingdom."
