Mystery: Chaos Path

Colin Iliad had already taken care of everything in the days that Lucifer was away. He arranged for a temporary chief to take over the Silver City and made contingency plans in case of an accident, waiting for this day to come. As an outpost, he would go to the outside world to explore the situation for the Silver City and prepare for the relocation of the city-state's people.

Lorraine could naturally see Colin Iliad's excitement. He just smiled at this and said, "Accompany me for a walk in the city. If you have some good stories, you can tell me."

Colin Iliad's expression suddenly became serious. Having learned some things about the character of the angel in front of him from Little Sun Derrick, he naturally made corresponding preparations. While leading Lorraine into the city like a qualified guide, he began to tell the stories he had prepared.

What Colin Iliad told was not other people's stories, but his own experiences. As the chief of Silver City, Colin Iliad's life experience can be described as wonderful and full of adventures. Also, because of the curse of Silver City, it perfectly fits the definition of "faced difficult choices"—because of the negative effects of a certain sealed item, the people of Silver City must be killed by their direct relatives, otherwise they will turn into terrible monsters.

It can be said that everyone in Silver City is bound to bear the sin of patricide.

Lorraine listened quietly, suddenly looking at Colin Iliad, and said, "Is it painful? That sealed item allows you to survive in this darkness, but it also makes you have to bear the sin of patricide."

Colin Iliad paused, probably not expecting Lorraine to ask this suddenly, or rather not expecting Lorraine to be so clear about the secrets of Silver City, but thinking of the other party's identity, Colin Iliad was relieved.

Colin Iliad was only silent for a second, not choosing to lie, but frankly said, "Of course I will feel pain, but we have no choice."

The reason why Silver City can become the only surviving city-state in the Land of the Abandoned by God is because of the black-faced grass brought by that sealed item. Otherwise, Silver City would have been destroyed long ago.

"Very frank." Lorraine smiled and continued, "I am very curious, have you ever resented it? The Creator who abandoned you."

Colin Iliad was silent, and after a long time, he spoke, his voice a little hoarse: "Occasionally, I don't know what other people think, but I have indeed resented the Creator who abandoned us, so sometimes I also think, is it because of this, because we are not pious enough, that the Lord... the Creator abandoned us."

Colin Iliad once really believed in the Ancient Sun God. Even when he was born, Silver City had already fallen into darkness, but under the influence of childhood, Colin Iliad inevitably developed faith in the legendary Sun God.

But the more he believed, the more powerless Colin Iliad felt when facing the current situation of Silver City. As the chief of Silver City, he could clearly feel how bad the situation of Silver City was. This city, which had persisted in the darkness for more than a thousand years, had long been on the verge of falling. As long as someone pushed it hard, it would completely fall into the abyss.

So occasionally, Colin Iliad did resent the Creator. He was not a devout believer of the Creator. Compared to the gods he had never seen, he cared more about the safety of Silver City. These people were his responsibility.

Lorraine could naturally see the complex emotions hidden in Colin Iliad's words. He could also understand this—after all, Silver City had believed in the Ancient Sun God for so many years. It could be said that faith had long been engraved in their DNA. Even if they converted to his faith now, this inertia could not be eliminated for a while.

Lorraine lowered his eyes, and a thick book appeared in his hand at some point. Lorraine opened the book and casually turned to one of the pages before saying:

"He did not abandon you because you were not pious enough."

Colin Iliad was stunned and looked up at him.

Lorraine was still staring at the opened page, even though there was only a blank space there, he acted as if he could really see something, and said:

"The Ancient Sun God, the Creator you believe in in Silver City, He had already fallen before the Cataclysm. To be more precise—the reason why the Cataclysm happened was because of the fall of that one."

Colin Iliad's mind went blank. For a moment, he even suspected that he was hallucinating, but the excellent physique belonging to a Demon Hunter told Colin Iliad that he was not hallucinating.

At this moment, Colin Iliad even felt a sense of absurdity. It turned out that the Creator did not abandon them, but just... fell.

For a time, Colin Iliad didn't even know whether he should cry or laugh, and didn't know whether he should feel sad for Silver City.

But Colin Iliad was the chief of Silver City after all. He quickly adjusted his emotions, lowered his head deeply, and said, "Thank you for telling us this, Your Highness Lucifer."

"Please rest assured, since you have saved us, whether the Creator is still there or not, the faith of Silver City will only belong to you, only belong to Mr. Fool."

Colin Iliad then guaranteed. He didn't know why Lucifer suddenly told him this truth, didn't know whether the other party was doing it for fun or to beat him. All Colin Iliad could do was offer what the other party needed.

Silver City could not be abandoned again, they could not afford this price.

The next second, Colin Iliad heard the angel's chuckle. The other party's voice was gentle and said:

"Don't be nervous, I'm not questioning your faith, just curious about your reaction to knowing the truth. I have to say, it's as interesting as I thought."

It was obviously an extremely gentle voice, but at this moment, Colin Iliad felt a chill. It was not until this moment that he truly realized the "wickedness" of the angel in front of him.

But no matter how "wicked" the other party was, this was Silver City's only hope, so Colin Iliad said nothing.

There is no mistake, one first, one hair, one inside, one appearance, one in, one look!

Lorraine was not surprised by this reaction. He chuckled very "Lucifer-like", and the corner of his eye glanced at the other people in Silver City, and could see the emotions of worship, yearning, etc. in their expressions when they looked at him.

Obviously, Colin Iliad had been seriously promoting "Lucifer" in the past few days, which is why this situation occurred.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Lorraine praised.

Colin Iliad was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what Lorraine was talking about, and immediately said, "This is what I should do."

Lorraine then took out his pocket watch and glanced at it, and after confirming the time, he said, "Gather the people who went out, prepare, and we can set off later."

"Okay, Your Highness Lucifer." Colin Iliad immediately responded.
