Mystery: I, the Hermit, am too eager to improve

Chapter 118 Lovia: Basic Knowledge, Haven't Learned It in a Long Time

Roy pondered for a moment, and then felt relieved.

Ultimately, his own secret study group was just a place to exchange knowledge, and all Klein could really do was provide another channel.

Knowledge-related things...

No matter how much Klein tries to exploit, he'll ultimately be the one who benefits.

They traded in a mysterious temple, and I was able to obtain the formulas involved in their transactions by intercepting the information flow.

Thinking about it that way, it doesn't seem like a big deal.

Oh.

Fools may make a fortune, but I will never lose.

Being a platform is great!

Roy sighed, then walked home.

He had to go back an hour in advance to inform Lovia and remind her to arrive at the time for the esoteric knowledge learning session.

but.

For Lovia, the current level of learning might still be a bit too low...

The highest is himself.

The newest one is Sequence 6, while the other three are all Sequence 8.

I hope she won't be disappointed.

Also.

What if what she brings out is too high-end?

such as--

During the last Lovia sacrifice ceremony, most of the books involved were combat techniques and some knowledge she had summarized herself.

The summaries are extremely valuable, and the combat techniques and spiritual enhancement methods they cover are all very useful.

Any one of these points could shock the general public in the study group.

"Perhaps we should give them a heads-up."

Roy muttered to himself, then ascended to the mysterious hall. Upon reaching the hall, he opened the star map—

Then he saw the starry sky on the star map.

seem……

After I was promoted to Sequence 6, my star chart underwent some changes.

Roy glanced at it.

First of all—

It seems that I can control the connection through the purple star points and sense the state of the corresponding person. For example, Lovia's mood is very peaceful and quiet right now.

but.

Her starlight was very special, flashing purple with a faint yellow glow.

She may have been placed in solitary confinement and is undergoing a baptism of "glory and crown".

A crown of glory.

Roy recalled memories of it.

The Proof of Glory, a product of the extraordinary traits of a Sequence 2 Glorier, was once the crown of the Giant King, but now it resides in the Silver City…

It was used to imprison and baptize people who might have been contaminated upon returning from outside.

"I forgot about that. While she was imprisoned, could she have been brought to the mysterious hall?"

Roy frowned.

Even if it's impossible to pull her up, it won't be a big problem, since this is an unexpected situation for Lovia herself, and he can excuse himself from the fact that it's not worth him overstepping the Glory Crown.

but.

This will inevitably affect myself and my original plans.

Is there any way?

Roy remembered the Book of Secrets.

In the original story, when Klein dealt with Amon, he modified the "Blood Moon Ritual" method mentioned above, using it in conjunction with the Little Sun to eliminate Amon.

Learn a skill?

He thought about it for a moment and quickly rejected it.

The situations are different.

Klein was in a dangerous situation then and had no choice but to do so, but he is not in that situation now.

"If you really can't solve it, then take leave."

Roy breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to use the available materials to set up a mental enhancement ritual in the mysterious hall.

After several attempts, he was basically certain.

The spiritual enhancement ritual can solidify the spiritual connection between the two, allowing him to contact and influence the other person in the mysterious temple.

Is it okay?

Try it and you'll see.

As long as I can easily transmit the information, bringing Lovia to the mysterious hall won't be too much of a problem.

A moment later, Roy's spirit extended, connecting him with Lovia.

Subsequently, a deluge of information poured out.

The formidable barrier was quickly breached by the torrent of information and the influence of numerology, reaching the interior of the fortress.

After a few seconds, Roy roughly got the idea—

You can give it a try!

The ability to sense and spy on the other party's information is itself a manifestation of Roy's increased control over the mysterious temple.

The situation just now further proved Roy's conjecture.

As long as Lovia cooperates, he can pull her from the inside into the mysterious hall without being greatly affected by the "Crown of Glory".

To ensure absolute safety, you can also combine it with the rituals and secret contracts found in the other parts of the Book of Secrets.

of course.

It wasn't the "Blood Moon Ritual" that Klein had referenced, but another "Spirit Rune Contract" ritual.

According to the Book of Secrets, this secret originated from their worship of the primordial moon, so they engraved symbols representing the primordial moon on their bodies.

Roy doesn't need to be truly engraved on Lovia; he only needs to temporarily embody the symbol using his spiritual and informational abilities.

It does not require Lovia's cooperation.

Now, Roy can use mysterious temples and rituals to infuse his spirituality and directly engrave symbols on Lovia's body.

This further enhances its mystique.

of course.

In Silver City, mystery alone isn't enough; Lovia also needs to keep an eye on Amon, or else trouble will ensue.

If you offend the true creator, the other party will at most roar a few times, but will not actually take action.

After all, He still has the Aurora Society and a stable anchor, so losing one Lovia is nothing.

But if Amon finds out, who knows what might happen.

After Roy had a complete plan, he began to try to modify the "Spirit Rune Contract".

……

"The Crown of the Giant King, an ancient relic."

First came a faint, ethereal voice, as if expressing a sigh, followed by another stream of information.

"Say my name one hour later."

"If you don't know how long an hour is..."

"I'll remind you again before my heart beats a hundred times."

Lovia maintained her original posture, but a hint of respect was revealed in her expression, and she silently uttered a word of gratitude in her heart.

Then she continued to sit silently in the same spot, as if praying, or perhaps asleep.

……

An hour later.

Before his heartbeat reached its hundredth beat, Roy sent another message, this time trying to avoid using the effects of the mental enhancement ritual.

Slight stagnation.

Rituals are still useful.

Roy thought to himself.

but.

He reminded Lalovia that relying solely on rituals might not be enough to secure her entry into the mystical temple, and then proceeded to "write" spiritual symbols according to the original plan.

"Thanks to my practice on scrolls these past two days, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to write such fast and beautiful spell symbols."

Roy chuckled self-deprecatingly.

In the past two days, he has crafted dozens of parchment scrolls, not to mention ordinary paper and animal leather.

His spirituality slowly permeated through her, reaching Lovia's body, and then silently inscribed a secret symbol upon her.

This is the symbol Roy set up to connect Lovia and the mysterious temple—

A star map that maps out the stars.

of course.

He tested this on himself before daring to use it directly.

A minute passed, and the spirit rune contract was completed silently.

After one hundred heartbeats.

Inside the mysterious hall, a torrent of information spread, followed by a series of figures appearing one after another.

First Fors, Darkwell, Klein, and then Roy's trumpet.

Fors was about to greet them.

Then, she noticed an even larger torrent of information emerging.

Amidst that torrent of information, strange lights also shone through. In the blink of an eye, an unfamiliar figure appeared in the mysterious hall.

Klein looked over curiously.

The other person's appearance and physique were obscured by the information and numerology of the mysterious temple, making it impossible to see their true face, but upon closer inspection...

It was still possible to tell that the other person was a woman.

Well, that's all.

After all, this isn't the Fool's domain.

Klein chuckled self-deprecatingly, then quickly regained his composure.

In a mysterious temple, focusing intently on a particular matter may lead to the activation and leakage of thoughts and knowledge.

If the Hermit Master were to capture information about the "Fool," it might be very difficult for him to enter the Mystic Temple again in the future.

of course.

It's also possible that the other party already knew, but I've always thought they didn't, like a clown...

but.

got used to.

Klein was thinking when he suddenly snapped out of it, stopped his thoughts, and then looked around calmly. He breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't notice any subtle flow of information.

Ok!

He watched the woman walk to the table, and then he felt her gaze sweep over him.

but.

Everyone's faces were pixelated, but Klein wasn't afraid of being looked at and stood there calmly.

Lovia looked around, then looked up, and said respectfully and devoutly, "Thank you, great Hermit. I thought I would have to miss today's meeting."

"This is your first training session."

Roy didn't say the whole thing, leaving only half of it out, so that Lovia would understand the meaning.

Lovia bowed and sat down next to "Number 3".

Fors smiled slightly.

In this way...

To her left were numbers 1, 3, and 5, while opposite her were Mr. 2 and the gentleman who spoke rather unpleasantly.

Our "Study Group" is becoming stronger and stronger.

I just don't know what level this new lady is at.

The other person's voice sounded mature, pleasant, and gentle; it must have been a woman.

Fors mentally created a character design for "5" and then introduced it with a smile.

"Madam, the Hermit has generously provided such a platform and opportunity, and we are arranged according to our student ID numbers, starting from number 1 and moving on from there..."

She gave a brief explanation of the history of the "study group" and the origin of its name.

Klein couldn't help but sigh again—

Miss Number 1 is really thoughtful.

She's becoming more and more like a class monitor. Whenever a new person joins, she's considerate, gentle, and comprehensive in helping them understand the learning group, eliminating any barriers between them, and helping them quickly integrate into the team.

In real life, she must be a very easy-going and caring person.

Klein thought to himself.

Roy remained seated without saying a word.

Thanks to Fors's introduction, Lovia gained a preliminary understanding of the current situation of the study group.

Apparently—

The members aren't very powerful.

Based on the tone of the other person's description, this "1" lady should admire "2" the most, so the "2" next to her may actually be the strongest.

What exactly is their strength...?

Hard to say.

but.

It doesn't matter.

A smile appeared on Lovia's face.

The point is not how powerful they are, but that they represent the outside world and the connection.

They are weak now, but their future, or the forces behind them, may not be so—

How many of those whom the hermit valued were incompetent?

With this in mind, her tone was exceptionally peaceful.

"So I'm number 5? Hello everyone, I hope to learn and grow together with you all, and I will also share my knowledge with you."

He's so honest!

Roy sighed inwardly.

Those who come from Silver City seem to always carry this quality, giving people a sense of innocence.

He thought for a moment and said, "Madam, sharing must be based on equivalence; otherwise, it's just one-sided taking and giving, which is not conducive to long-term development and common progress."

"Um?"

Lovia looked at the number "2" next to her, and narrowed her eyes after hearing it. She couldn't tell for a moment whether the other party knew that she was a Sequence 5 and that was why they reminded her, or whether they were afraid that the knowledge she presented was not equivalent.

She thought for a few seconds, then nodded slightly without saying anything.

Like Klein, Darkwell sat across from him, not daring to utter a sound.

This newcomer...

His aura alone gives people the feeling that he is extraordinary.

The meeting began the next moment.

Fors conjured a book first, then smiled and said, "I've found a book about ritual magic, and I hope it will be helpful to everyone."

Ritual magic?

Roy looked over curiously, and then saw that Fors had conjured a book called "Record of Ritual Magic" in his hand.

The book title...

It's obviously not part of the Hidden Sage series.

Roy became slightly interested, quickly checking and browsing through the information using his access privileges, before gradually becoming serious.

This is certainly not the knowledge of the hidden sage.

If he guessed correctly, this should be the book in Lanius's hands—

It had previously made a brief appearance in Tingen, which led to a horrific gang sacrifice that killed nearly a hundred people.

Roy took a slight breath.

He returned to the trumpet, pretending to absorb and digest the information. After a few seconds, he spoke, "This is the ritual magic of the Aurora Society. It contains all the things of the Aurora Society."

Lovia remained silent.

She could sense that she could use this ritual magic very easily and skillfully; she initially thought it belonged to the "Mystic" path.

but.

Aurora Viewing...

What kind of organization is this?

She decided to remain silent and observe their reactions.

"The Aurora Club? Those crazy bunch?"

Darkwell curled his lip after hearing this, put the book aside, and said, "What good stuff could they possibly have? It must be dangerous and terrifying."

Klein pondered for a moment and said, "The Aurora Society once attempted a divine descent ritual in Tingen, hoping to bring their great true creator to earth."

A true creator?

Lovia stared blankly. Wasn't this the creator that the hermit had mentioned?

A divine intervention...

She took a deep breath and said, "Tinggen, a descent of the gods?"

"Yes, ma'am, not many people know about that, but I happen to be one of them and know some of the inside story."

Klein said calmly, "There was a man named Lanluus who attempted to create the offspring of the gods so that they could be used as vessels for the gods to descend, but he was ultimately stopped."

A divine intervention...

Lovia remained silent.

She understood how terrifying a divine descent could be, especially since the current creator seemed to have undergone a transformation, unlike the previous creator.

If such a being were to descend upon a city—

The mere thought of it terrified her.

If such a thing happened in Silver City, she would not hesitate to resist.

Even the Creator...

She sat with her hands propped up on her hands.

"I want to know more about the true Creator and the Aurora Society. How do I do that? Hmm, this should be a permitted transaction, right?"

Lovia looked at Fors.

Fors was stunned for a moment, then nodded blankly: "If the Hermit allows, you can complete the rest of the steps before making the transaction."

Klein was curious, but faced with such benefits, he rushed forward without hesitation.

"Madam, if you'd like to know, we can proceed with the transaction later."

"Understood."

Lovia sat up straight and remained silent.

After a moment's thought, Roy materialized a book containing knowledge about materials and witchcraft imparted by a hidden sage.

"While most sequences cannot use witchcraft, understanding witchcraft and materials can be quite helpful at times."

He chuckled softly, "I hope this knowledge can help everyone make progress together."

It's all practical stuff!

After reading it, Klein felt immense pressure.

he knows.

I need to offer something tangible, but after much consideration, I've already exhausted all my resources and abilities.

You can't exactly show off how to be a good "clown," can you?

That's too abstract.

Klein pondered for a moment, and finally decided—

"Sir Hermit, I lack equivalent knowledge. Could I exchange it for the notes I have collected?"

"..."

Roy's lips twitched slightly.

Klein—

How shameless!

even so.

He went back to the toilet and said in a relaxed tone, "Okay."

He then released a document on "magic" and the use of spirituality, which consisted of Roy's insights from his research into witchcraft, interspersed with some cheat sheets from the Hidden Sage.

It should be quite useful for Klein.

As for Darkwell.

He probably doesn't need these spells.

can only say……

Regret.

When the books were handed out, Klein read them carefully and was secretly surprised.

no doubt.

This is a book that addresses his subsequent series.

The magic and spiritual techniques mentioned above can likely be used in one's own Sequence 7, since one's Sequence 7 is "The Magician".

Klein absorbed and digested the information, then bowed in gratitude.

Luo Weiya had been mentally prepared, so she was not particularly moved by this relatively basic knowledge.

She was thinking—
