Secret: I, the hermit, want to make progress too much

Astrologer.

Roy could vaguely feel the connection between himself and the stars.

but.

The ability of this sequence does not come from the stars, it is just a medium that allows him to use star magic through contact.

Mysterious Palace...

Who did that sentence I heard before come from?

Could it be Green?

If this is the case, I really can't rush to look for the so-called Folgania.

According to previous speculations, the crystal ball is most likely the key to a certain place, and it is not mysterious or dangerous in itself.

But.

Where it points is hard to say.

Green was in an abnormal state of being contaminated during his lifetime, and he himself might not even be sure whether the things he gave to Bernadette were safe.

Just like the emperor...

When Russell made the Card of Blasphemy, he was still complacent in thinking that he had given it extraordinary power with the power of the Emperor of Knowledge.

It wasn't until the end that I realized that the fallen mother goddess also contributed to it.

even.

He created the Card of Blasphemy and was guided by the Mother Goddess.

You got promoted, but you don't seem happy.

Back at Harvest Church, Liyana sat down with a smile.

Roy nodded.

As the sequence increases, the confusion increases.

“The more you know, the more in awe you become of these things.”

Liyana spoke in a low tone, The world beyond the starry sky is even more dangerous. Even big shots will suffer disaster if they go there.

I'm wondering what move the Hidden Sage will use next.

Roy leaned back in his chair.

Before being promoted to astrologer, the Hidden Sage crazily instilled knowledge of the starry sky and mixed it with the view that the starry sky was the source of power.

The purpose is to lure oneself into contact with the stars.

but.

Next, he should understand that this trick does not work for him.

There may be changes in the future.

Knowledge is not enough...

Maybe there will be other ways.

You should first consider how to deal with the Aurora Society and the others. It will be embarrassing if you fail to do what you promised, and the price you pay may be higher.

Well, I'll send the money for the materials tomorrow.

Don't worry, just send it over when you have time.

…

Back home.

Roy took out some gold pounds from the Mysterious Palace to repay the two materials provided by Bernadette.

After reciting the honorary name once.

The familiar pea vine returns.

Bernadette's seat dropped and appeared in front of Roy.

Congratulations.

Thank you for your help, madam. Without your support, I would not have been able to obtain the potion formula so easily.

Roy thanked him sincerely.

Bernadette shook her head slightly: It has nothing to do with me. This is your own effort, and it also has His support.

She said, staring at Roy with deep and questioning eyes.

A mid-sequence extraordinary person...

Why do you win the favor of Mother Earth?

and.

The horoscope tonight is very strange, and it cannot be explained by a simple promotion.

She stared at Roy.

After Sequence 5, Element Dawn can provide very limited help. You still need to collect and work hard on your own.

Where's the potion recipe?

Roy asked.

Bernadette smiled and said: This is possible, but it needs to be exchanged for gold pounds and some contributions, provided that you can complete the digestion.

I'll try.

Roy replied.

Astrologer...

He is not very clear about the idea of ​​​​acting the role yet, and only has a rough idea in his mind——

Become an astrology expert in the eyes of others.

The difference between an astrologer and an astrologer is that one studies stars and stars, which includes the latter, but is not limited to astrology.

It's all knowledge involved!

The pursuit of knowledge has always been the unchanging creed of the secret peepers, and the same is true for the astrologers.

When I finish handling the matters at hand, I will leave Backlund and complete your previous commission.

Roy made his promise directly without waiting for the other party to ask.

and.

He withdrew the gold pounds to be paid.

Bernadette took it and said: Don't worry, let's talk about you first and the Earth Church with which you have been close recently.

Then, she looked into the distance, as if looking towards the southern area of ​​the bridge.

Two seconds passed.

Bernadette said: Element Dawn has cooperated with the Church of the Earth, and will later provide OEM scrolls for the Church of the Earth.

“What’s the cost of the Earth Church?”

They will be responsible for protecting overseas Element Dawn members and helping to deal with the Moss Ascetic Society. In addition, they will provide some material convenience.

Bernadette said.

Seeing that the other party was not averse to cooperation, Roy felt quietly relieved.

after all.

For formulas above Sequence 4, he may still have to rely on the elements Dawn and Bernadette.

If the relationship with her becomes tense, the source of the magic potion formula will be a big problem in the future, and you may not have to use a big number to deceive her.

That's more likely to be exposed.

After chatting with Bernadette for a while, the other party quietly left.

Roy guessed...

Bernadette came mainly to confirm her status, and secondly to explain to him the current cooperative relationship between Elemental Dawn and the Church of the Earth.

Therefore, Roy once again reiterated his position——

He and the Church of the Earth are just making excuses and exchanging interests, and he is of the same mind as the elemental dawn.

He didn't know whether Bernadette believed it or not.

Anyway, he believed it himself.

After dealing with the big shots from all sides, Roy confirmed that no one would visit again, and then ascended to the Mysterious Hall.

He tried one by one and checked the changes in the mysterious palace.

After a while, Roy discovered one of the changes——

He seems to be able to use the star map to connect with other people to transfer the power of magic, witchcraft or magical items more effectively and directly.

In addition, following Klein's operation, the spiritual clone created is also more flexible and powerful.

There are also some improvements to crafting magical items.

But not very big.

What limits Roy's manufacturing ability now is not the mysterious palace, but knowledge and pathways.

He is not a craftsman after all.

In addition to these are the enhancement of spirituality and the increase of star points.

Roy can accommodate more people at the same time.

but.

Considering the promotion speed of Frank, Klein and others, he decided not to invite new people to the mysterious study meeting for the time being.

At most, it's just random interviews with some people.

He observed it for a while.

There are more stars.

Roy glanced around, and finally focused on a strong star point.

He touches the past -

The next moment, an illusory figure appeared in his consciousness.

I can detect some of the other party's information in advance.

Is this also a change after promotion?

It's quite good.

Roy observed the woman.

After a while, he basically confirmed the identity of the other party——

Dailey Simone.

That Nighthawk should still be a Sequence 6 Necromancer now, but it shouldn't take long for her to be promoted again.

After hesitating for a moment, Roy slightly strengthened his contact with the other party.

Immediately.

He saw a picture.

Judging from the situation at the scene, Dai Li should be on the rooftop of a building, and dim lights can be seen from top to bottom.

She was whispering.

Dunn, are you really dead? But why, I always feel that you are still there, especially when I return to Tingen, that feeling is even stronger.

And Ince...

I must kill him!

Dai Li looked at the sky, and the little fires in her hands burned automatically.

She didn't smoke it, just lit the cigarette as a decoration.

Roy was silent.

she--

Feeling Dunn's presence in Tingen?

Not impossible.

The two are now on the same path, with a convergence effect. In addition, they may have some guidance and induction indirectly through the underworld and the spirit world.

As for Ince…

They didn't seem to know that Ince was dead, and they might have mistaken Ince's ashes as those of Klein and Dunn.

this--

Quite magical.

God, can you tell me the answer...

Dai Li lay on the rooftop and stared at the night sky.

A red moon hangs in the sky.

The next moment, next to the moon, a starlight shrouded her.

Immediately——

A starlight guide, mixed with a rolling torrent of information.

That is the information and knowledge activated by Dai Li herself.

She looked around in astonishment.

When he opened his eyes again, a magnificent palace appeared in front of him, surrounded by books.

Dai Li looked ahead in astonishment, and then a fierce spiritual reaction reminded her not to look directly.

Don’t look directly at God!

A thought flashed through her mind.

Dai Li knew that the other party was definitely not the goddess of the night.

Information, spiritual numbers.

Hidden sage?

No.

That's not right, the symbol of the Hidden Sage is a pair of eyes, not such a knowledge, spiritual number, and a huge palace full of knowledge.

A mysterious being resurrecting?

She hesitated.

Dear Sir, may I ask who you are?

You can call me, Hermit. Here you can use knowledge or other costs to exchange for the knowledge and answers you need.

Roy's voice was low and cold.

Dai Li lowered his head and made as respectful an expression as possible.

She hesitated for a few seconds.

Then.

Excuse me, what is the cost of my problem?

Help me collect information about the 'Hidden Sage' and the 'Mos Ascetic Order'.

Roy said calmly.

After hearing this, Dai Li only hesitated for a second before nodding: I am willing to exchange.

Dunn Smith is not dead. The reason you feel something is because he became the janitor.

What?

Daly's face was full of surprise.

Dunn is not dead?

and.

He also became a janitor…

this! !

How can it be?

Dai Li opened her mouth, and then asked hurriedly: Why is this happening?

That's another problem, and it's expensive.

Roy chuckled.

Dai Li immediately said: What price do I have to pay? I...

She paused suddenly as she spoke.

When you're ready, come back to me.

Or you can find the answers yourself.

Roy said calmly.

Dai Li hurriedly asked: How should I find you?

Prepare the rewards you exchanged before, and say 'Hermit' silently in your heart. If I hear you, I will see you.

…

On the rooftop, Dai Li suddenly sat up.

She looked at the wine bottle beside her, then covered her face with excitement, tears falling from her fingers.

Dunn is really not dead!

My feeling is correct. He did stay in Tingen! He must have been in Tingen before!

But, but...

Where is Dunn now?

Why doesn't he see him?

Or does he still have his own consciousness now?

Going from nightmare to janitor, Dunn may well have gone crazy.

Do you have the courage to face the crazy Dunn?

Daley stopped crying.

The god named The Hermit gave her an answer, but it created more questions.

For those questions...

She needs to pay more to get the answers she needs.

What an evil god!

but.

He can help himself...

Dai Li was silent, then grabbed the bottle and poured out all the wine inside.

No matter what, Dunn is still alive. Even if he is sealed or imprisoned, at least he is still alive.

I want to find him! And Ince—

He must pay the price!

…

noon Friday, Greene Cemetery, West Side.

Dorian stood in front of the tombstone, brushed off the fallen leaves with his hands, and then wiped the tombstone——

Even if it is already very clean.

After a while, he looked around and said, Forsi, do you know the story of Lawrence?

Mr. Lawrence didn't tell me. He never told me that. He only taught me some mysterious knowledge.

Fors thought.

Dorian said: Abraham was once a powerful family with a high reputation in the Fourth Age, but later...

He begins with the history of the Fourth Age.

Forsi listened quietly.

She had some guesses, but Lawrence had never said it before, and she didn't go out to ask the truth.

Now……

The answer is revealed.

Dorian said: Where do you think the source of the problem is?

On the surface, those people are not satisfied with the inequality in strength and status, and hope to gain a higher voice.

Forsi said, But the ultimate root cause is still curse.

Dorian was silent for a few seconds, then nodded: Yes, the curse, the curse that has affected the Abraham family for countless years, has led to the birth of all tragedies...

In you, I see hope of liberation.

he said candidly.

Forsi's lips parted and she didn't answer for a moment.

Ultimately, she decided to respond with the same honesty.

Why are you telling me this?

Anlisa approves of you, Lawrence believes in you, and I also think you are a trustworthy person during our short time together.

Dorian said.

Then, he couldn't help laughing and said: There is one more thing.

What?

Although you have made various disguises, judging from your daily habits and daily life, you have a very low desire for power.

Dorian smiled and said, What you care about most is the gold pound, but you don't care too much.

By saying so much, you probably want to say that I am a lazy person.

Forsi rolled her eyes beautifully.

Dorian smiled.

“Enjoyment and laziness are shortcomings that everyone has, but it’s great if you can overcome them.”

Mr. Dorian, I am definitely not as good as you say.

Um?

I will still be lazy, and I still hope that I can lie down for a day...

Forsi blushed slightly.

restraint……

Her restraint comes from repeated debts and her status as No. 1 in the study group.

Forsi once thought about it.

If there is no debt owed, or if you are not No. 1 and are just an insignificant member——

She might not work so hard, and she might just be a Sequence 8 by now.

Then will you become my student?

Dorian smiled and said, Maybe my sequence is not high enough, but I can give you a lot of help on this path.

student……

Forsi once wanted to become Lawrence's student, but Lawrence refused, and now Dorian offers an olive branch.

She understood Lawrence’s selfish motives——

In Lawrence's heart, he still hoped that Forsi could stay and help the Abraham family.

but.

He did not speak out and entrust it in the form of a last wish, but kept it in his heart.

Forsi looked back at the tombstone.

Lawrence's tombstone was not here, but she seemed to see the old gentleman.

He is a teacher.

Teacher Dorian.

I am willing to be your student, but in the short term, I hope to stay in Backlund for a while.

Forsi said, I have a very good friend who selflessly lent me a large sum of gold pounds when I was promoted to Sequence 8. Now it's my turn to help her.

What sequence is your friend?

Dorian asked.

Sheriff.

Forsi replied in a low voice.

The Abraham family should have known about this approach, so she didn't hide it.

Unfortunately, our family has no record of this recipe. In Loen, if you want to obtain it, you may have to go to some special departments.

Dorian sighed.

Forsi said: In a month at most, when she is promoted to Sequence 7, I will go to Pulitzer Harbor to find you.

good.
