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

Chapter 150 The Alliance of the Three Ladies

As someone in a high position, Klein has extensive experience and knows what it's like to build a platform.

Although the hermit did not participate directly, the other party could see and hear their discussion, but...

Unlike myself.

The hermit was of extremely high status and didn't care about this knowledge at all. Perhaps he just regarded it as a source of amusement, or for some other reason.

As a fake evil god, he couldn't quite understand, but he vaguely felt that the other party must have some purpose.

Klein stared at Number 6, then studied the knowledge the other had shared.

It's very strange.

Hybridizing plants and animals...

This technology, which should have been impossible to succeed at, can actually be done to some extent in this world.

Wheat with a beef flavor.

Mushrooms are nutritious, similar to beef.

The other party should be an extraordinary being of the cultivator pathway, and their sequence should not be too low.

Such a person...

The hermit was able to summon people to the mysterious temple.

The learning groups are getting to a higher and higher level.

Despite his complaints, Darkwell knew he was really falling behind. If things continued like this, he would either become an outsider or be voted out of the Mystic Study Group...

hiss!

That would be so embarrassing! If the silly parrot knew, it would definitely laugh at me.

"No, I must finish digesting it quickly, but I don't seem to have a higher-level potion recipe..."

"This can be achieved through Mr. Hermit."

"Then I'd better hurry up and collect the diary entries..."

Darkwell thought worriedly.

Afterwards, everyone exchanged information and shared their observations.

Nothing major happened this week.

and so.

This part was over quickly.

Before long, the short yet long study session will come to an end.

Roy let out a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately.

The consumption is less than imagined, and even if you maintain a longer period of study, you can still sustain the spiritual depletion.

Perhaps next time, medication won't be needed; a mental enhancement ritual will suffice.

It's best to avoid taking medicine if possible.

Although the side effect is that the spiritual energy will weaken for a period of time afterward, one issue is that the cost is estimated to be quite high, and another is that it is not necessary at the moment, which would be a waste of spiritual energy and incur subsequent risks.

……

Joewood District.

Fors returned from the mysterious temple, sorted through his gains there, and then couldn't help but sigh softly.

People's social standing is getting higher and higher.

If I hadn't become Mr. Lawrence's student, it might have taken me a very long time just to collect esoteric knowledge.

but.

The Hermit probably foresaw my current situation from the beginning, which is why he summoned me; otherwise, someone at Sequence 9 wouldn't be qualified to be received.

Abraham.

What a mysterious family!

She got up and opened the door, only to see Xiu standing there quietly.

"Hugh, what are you doing here? You scared me!"

Fors was somewhat annoyed.

She opened the door and went out, her mind preoccupied with something, when she unexpectedly found Hugh standing outside. She immediately felt as if her secret had been exposed.

Do not sigh softly.

"Have you forgotten what day it is tonight?"

"What? I shouldn't be due to submit my manuscript yet!"

Fors cautiously peered outside, even lowering his voice, his furtive manner making Hugh almost laugh.

Don't sigh.

"Fors, I understand you've been too busy lately, but today is the day we're meeting with Miss Audrey. It was scheduled last week."

"Oh right! I almost forgot."

No, you've already forgotten.

Hugh turned and walked towards the living room, not wanting to expose his good friend's messy affair. Anyway, the two of them were already in a fairly open stage, and apart from not directly stating who that person was, they had basically revealed the truth.

Of course she was worried.

The "Fool" he was facing now seemed to be a fairly easy-going evil god, but he didn't know what the situation was with Fors.

What if it's some kind of evil god with treacherous intentions...?

She pursed her lips.

"Fors, what are your plans for the future?"

"Keep learning, make money, collect more mysterious knowledge, and strive for promotion as soon as possible."

Fors said, "My potion recipe should be fine. Mr. Lawrence is an astrologer, so I can definitely buy or obtain the Sequence 7 recipe from him."

"And then?"

As Hugh straightened his clothes, he said, "What if Mr. Lawrence needs you to join his family or help them later? From your description, it should be an apprenticeship family, right?"

Fors did not tell Hugh the whole truth.

such as.

Abraham's ancestor is still alive, referred to as "He" by the hermit, and is an absolutely powerful being, but He is also the source of the Abraham family's madness.

"Let's go. I hope tonight's meeting with Miss Audrey will be amicable, rather than tense, or even worse, a complete elimination."

Fors shrugged.

Hugh said speechlessly, "Fors, Miss Audrey isn't as terrifying as you think. She's a noblewoman with a good personality."

"She is indeed a kind noblewoman, but her family may not be. Come on, I was just saying. Even if something happens, I can use that extraordinary item to take you away."

Fors said in a relaxed tone.

Hugh, on the contrary, became a little worried and felt quite uneasy the whole way.

Until they reached the Viscount Grynt’s house.

Fors and Hugh arrived at the small room where they often met. After gently knocking on the door, Fors saw Audrey sitting upright, and...

That golden retriever, Susie.

Grynt is not here.

Hello, Susie.

Fors spoke in a relaxed tone, making herself appear more like an equal and extraordinary person, rather than someone who entered the room weaker than Audrey in terms of presence and aura, and who seemed like the other's subordinate.

Susie wagged her tail, then vibrated the air in a similar greeting.

"Hello Fors, it's nice to see you again."

Hugh stared wide-eyed at him.

Even though she already knew the other party was an extraordinary being, hearing Susie speak in person still surprised her greatly. Compared to—

She looked at Fors.

Fors seemed so calm, as if he wasn't surprised at all, appearing more like a powerful, mature, and extraordinary being.

Seeing this scene, Xiu's thoughts became slightly complicated.

This partner, this best friend, has unknowingly grown to be even "stronger" than her, while I've only just begun to get involved with MI9...

I wonder if Mr. Fool can bring me an opportunity.

Xiu sighed inwardly.

Then Fors sat down to the side.

"Miss Audrey, since Viscount Grelint isn't here today, I think we can have a more open and frank conversation."

"Yes, that's what I thought too, which is why I brought Susie along."

Audrey chuckled softly, then rose and offered an apologetic bow. "I must apologize for my previous recklessness. Although my intention was to bring you the attention of the Great Being and His help, it did indeed cause you fear and unease."

"It's nothing, Miss Audrey. If I minded that, I wouldn't have come to today's gathering. Besides, it's a real opportunity for Hugh."

Fors said, "But I need to know, why did you want to bring us to that party? What do you want us to do?"

"Susie, could you please go and walk around the doorway? If anyone comes near, shout, just like you used to do at home."

"OK."

Susie got up and ran outside, even closing the door behind her.

Fors and Hugh both sat down.

The three sat around a table.

"I don't know many extraordinary people, and I think your personalities are more suitable for that gathering, so I made the suggestion to that gentleman, and fortunately, it was approved in the end."

Audrey smiled slightly. "There are no special requirements for the party, so you don't need to worry at all."

Then, she sighed softly.

"Unfortunately, Mr. Fool said you don't need His help, and I don't know why."

Audrey said regretfully.

Because of the Hermit.

Fors thought to himself.

She hesitated, wondering whether to tell Audrey about the existence of the Hermit, since the Fool had already been introduced to them by the Hermit.

Even though the process was dangerous and terrible, the result was good.

however.

I haven't received permission from the hermit yet.

She remained silent for a few seconds.

"This has something to do with me. I once used this extraordinary item, which attracted the attention of a great being. Perhaps that's why Mr. Fool thought I didn't need His help."

Upon hearing her explanation, Audrey looked surprised and almost lost her composure as an audience member.

Fors actually knows a great being?

This……

No wonder Mr. Fool said that Fors didn't need help, because she already had the gaze of an being.

What an astonishing truth!

wrong.

Audrey, calm down—

Audiences should have the mindset and perspective of an audience member and not be easily swayed by their emotions.

She took several deep breaths.

Then, Audrey thought of the Fool.

Mr. Fool actually knew about Fors's affairs!

Logically speaking...

Every great being occupies a very high position, as Mr. Fool would know...

Does this mean that His status is higher?

Or is it...?

These great beings know things about each other, and even foresee the possibility of each other's resurgence?

She hesitated for a moment, then said, "Fors, I know these great beings are reluctant to reveal their information easily, but could you say something that you could?"

"Let me think about it."

Fors pondered for a few seconds.

She then said, "I paid a price to ask that gentleman a question about Mr. Fool, and he told me that the Fool is not in danger at present, and that chanting his name will not bring any crisis."

The Fool of Today?

Audrey and Hugh looked at each other in bewilderment.

Neither of them were complete novices in the realm of mystery; they were well aware that those great beings were extremely cautious in their choice of words.

That person specifically added the word "currently".

This means...

The Fool of yesteryear is not quite the same as he is now.

Did He undergo some kind of reboot?

Or.

Is the Fool of today not the same one as the Fool of the beginning or before?

If that's really the case.

I'm so lucky!

Audrey thought to herself.

Hugh understood. No wonder Fors advised her not to overthink it after she was forced to utter the name of the deity, saying that some evil gods might be benevolent and harmless. It turned out that she had already paid the price to confirm this.

She was slightly touched.

Fors still values ​​himself!

"I don't know what you two think, but my thought at the time was, it's harmless now, but what about the past and the future?"

Fors sighed, "That's why I initially didn't want to hear your name mentioned, but I didn't expect you to have hidden it in the book. It was my mistake not to read the book carefully."

but.

If it weren't for this mistake, Hugh wouldn't have been able to join the Tarot Club.

Audrey added in her heart.

At the same time, many of her questions were answered.

No wonder she found Fors so mysterious and knowledgeable; it turns out she could seek help from a great being, and her bracelet even attracted the attention of such a being…

Clearly, this is no ordinary magical item.

Such mysterious items cannot be bought with simple gold pounds.

I'm so envious!

Audrey sighed inwardly.

Xiu glanced at the two women and felt that they were both happy, while he alone...

I'm exhausted and don't want to talk.

She paused for a few seconds, then said, "Ladies, it's hard for us to decide what the Fool's future holds, but I think the key is what we can do."

"Exchange of needs."

Fors and Audrey said at the same time.

Xiu glanced at the two of them.

"Alright, you two, what do you need?"

"I need information about the Secret Order."

Audrey said.

She did not mention the notebook.

Hugh is also a member.

and so.

The notes are now their internal hard currency; no one would easily hand them over to another, and mentioning them would be pointless.

"I need news of the Morse Order."

Fors said.

Audrey nodded: "No conflict, we can help each other."

"Can."

Fors nodded.

Then, after a moment's hesitation, she said, "I also want the potion recipe from the audience's Sequence 7 psychiatrist."

"I can help you get help, but you'll have to pay the price, and I need some compensation."

Fors said.

Audrey readily agreed, "No problem, what do you need?"

"Mystical knowledge, or Roselle's notes."

"..."

Audrey sighed.

original……

Fors needs it too.

Another competitor has emerged.

She then said with concern, "I only have the ones I've already submitted, so I can't share them with you, but I'll try to collect the new ones."

"it is good."

Fors nodded.

After thinking for a moment, Xiu said, "I can't help you right now, but for some reason, I feel like I've digested a large part of the Sheriff's Potion. I'll probably be able to digest it all soon, and I should be able to help a little after I'm promoted again."

"Okay, then we'll form an alliance."

Fors smiled slightly. "I hope we have a pleasant working relationship."

Audrey knew.

Fors is mainly referring to her, because Fors and Hugh are obviously very close, already allies and partners, while she was previously more of a trader.

We're at most just ordinary friends.

Now they're developing into "good friends".

Audrey chuckled and said, "It's a pleasure doing business with you."

"Where is Viscount Grelint?"

Hugh suddenly said.

The other two shook their heads.

Audrey smiled and said, "Grelint is different from me. He may be very motivated in the pharmacist sequence, but he may not necessarily work hard to advance in the future."
