Marvel's Magic Master

"Old Neil is out of control?"

In the gray fog space, George received the news from Klein.

Klein looked a little uncomfortable:
“When Old Neil was young, he had a girlfriend named Sally Star who he was about to get engaged to, but she suddenly became seriously ill and was difficult to treat.

He risked leaking the secrets of the Beyonders and tried to save her with ritual magic, but still failed.

Now, because of the whispers and instigation of the hidden sage, he wanted to use the method of life alchemy to resurrect Sallyste, but finally lost control and turned into a monster.

The captain and I used the seal to temporarily control him and imprisoned him in the basement of the Nighthawks base."

"It's also a love-seeding seed."

George sighed.

"Don't worry, as long as the person is not dead, I can restore him."

In his opinion, whether it is family affection, friendship or love, it will gradually fade away with the passage of time.

Anyone who still remembers his/her lover after decades is truly infatuated.

"That's good."

Klein breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Old Neil was his best colleague among the Night Watchers. He taught him a lot of knowledge about mysticism and was considered half a teacher to him.

So he really didn't want anything to happen to Old Neil.

"The captain has sent a telegram to the temple. I think they will be looking for you soon."

"Okay, keep Old Neil under control. I should be there early tomorrow morning."

George nodded and then left the gray fog space.

Sure enough, not long after, someone came from the church.

It was an old acquaintance, the senior deacon Creste Cesimus who had the title of "Sword of the Goddess" who had visited Tingen last time.

In fact, it was normal. The church was less than a hundred meters away from his home, and he could get there just by walking after receiving the telegram.

Claresta was chosen because he was more familiar with George.

The last time he went to Conston to recover a Nighthawk who had gone out of control, it was Clareste who came to him.

"Promotion successful?"

George noticed that the spiritual energy in Krestai had increased significantly, and stood up from the crib and asked.

When returning from Conston, Krestel said that he was going to take the potion to advance to Sequence 4.

"Success."

Krestey smiled and nodded.

George also smiled:

"Congratulations, what do you want to see me about this time?"

"Old Neil, the Night Watchman in Tingen City, has lost control. I would like to ask you to go with me."

Krestey quickly explained his purpose.

"Old Neil, no wonder I thought he had some mental problems before. I didn't expect he would actually lose control."

George pretended to be slow to realize it.

Then the two of them quickly left and took a carriage to the station.

As for his family, with the ability of the church's night watchmen, it would be easy to fool his parents for a day or two.

His parents wouldn't even notice he was missing.

On the steam train, in a private compartment, George was chatting with Krestel.

As one of the nine deacons of the church, Krestai naturally knew a lot of secret information and a large amount of mystical knowledge.

Every time he chatted with him, he gained a lot. On the last train to and from Constantine, he got a lot of useful information.

"Old Neil seems to be on the path of the Secret Peer. It is said that Beyonders on this path can easily lose control?"

"That's not wrong, because Beyonders who follow the Secret Peer Path will be chased by knowledge and forcefully indoctrinated by it."

Krestel nodded.

"Chased by knowledge?"

George had a puzzled look on his face.

Krestel explained:
“The path of the peeper, or more precisely the path of the hermit, he originally belonged to an ancient organization called the Moss Ascetic Order in the fourth century.

They believe in an impersonal deity called the Hidden Sage.

The early Moss Trappist Order was a very respected organization, with which we have a very good relationship, and was one of the few extraordinary organizations recognized by the church.

Members of the organization use penance to fight loss of control, neutralize the effects of residual potions, and strictly keep secrets and adhere to morality and precepts.

They believe that people will continue to reincarnate after death, adhere to morality and precepts, persist in the pursuit of knowledge, and strictly keep secrets.

All those who join the society, after becoming a "secret peeper", must keep silent for five years and learn to be silent in order to practice and improve their concentration.

The motto is: do what you like, but don't hurt.

Their members all believe that everything is number and pursue knowledge itself.

But one day, the hidden sage they believed in was contaminated by an evil god and turned into a personified evil god.

He began to pursue every member of the Moss Ascetic Order and every extraordinary person on the Hermit Path, and forcibly poured a lot of mystical knowledge into their minds.

Either you hold on with your willpower, or if you can't hold on you will be transformed by the Hidden Sage and turn into a monster out of control."

He revealed this, on the one hand so that George could better treat the out-of-control Nighthawk after knowing this, and on the other hand as a reward for George's kindness.

George only charged 150 pounds for treating the church's night watchmen, and he also took the initiative to return the extracted extraordinary characteristics. This can be said to be quite sincere.

Therefore, he was willing to give lessons to this powerful kid who lacked common sense in the field of Beyonders during casual chat.

"Knowledge chases people, is there such a good thing?"

George's eyes lit up when he heard this.

For a normal extraordinary person, the forced infusion of knowledge from a god would be extremely painful, but for him, this problem did not exist at all.

If he had known earlier that he would choose the hermit path, wouldn't he have been able to get rid of the hidden sage?

But it is also possible now. After Old Neil's extraordinary characteristics are extracted, we can use the extraordinary characteristics of Old Neil affected by the Hidden Sage to divine the Hidden Sage.

Although this method cannot completely wipe out the hidden sage, it should be able to obtain a lot of mysterious knowledge.

The more occult knowledge he gained, the faster he would be able to convert magic from other worlds.

The next morning, the two came to the Blackthorn Security Company in Tingen City, which was the headquarters of Tingen's Nighthawks.

Under the reception of the Nighthawks Captain Dunn, the two came to the room in the basement where Old Neil was imprisoned.

At this time, Old Neil had turned into a disgusting, sticky, bloody liquid covered with dense short black hairs.

His gray head was connected to the liquid, and a pair of eyes grew on his forehead and cheeks respectively, cold, eyelash-less eyes.

"We used Seal 3-0611 on Old Neil."

Dunn looked at old Neil at this moment, his eyes full of sadness.

Old Neil is currently the teammate with whom he has spent the longest time in the Nighthawks squad. The rest have died or lost control while performing missions over the years.

All we can say is that it’s a good thing that George exists, otherwise he would have lost his teammate who is like a family member again.

The Night Watchmen are guardians, but they are also a group of pitiful creatures who are constantly fighting against danger and madness.
