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

Chapter 156 Bernadette: The vampires are really good to you!

Roy lifted the curtain, preparing to go upstairs, but the first thing he saw was not the stairs, but a dirty old man holding a broom, with a black towel around his neck.

He grinned, revealing a mouthful of black teeth.

Those are the teeth from smoking.

Roy glanced at him a few times, then politely stepped aside to let the other go first. After a moment, he went upstairs.

Once upstairs, he quietly chanted the mantra.

A few seconds later, Roy entered the house.

Contrary to his expectations, there were only five people on the second floor, sitting together. The person in the middle was "Fias".

"Madam, what meeting is today?"

"Mr. Danai wants to see us. We have confirmed that there is a wizard active in the South District. This meeting is mainly to discuss how to deal with him."

Fias's gaze swept around, finally settling on Roy. "Groot, any new information from the Mysterious Club?"

"No, but I will try my best to search. Also, recently quite a few nobles have come to me, and I have developed some connections with them."

Roy stated truthfully, "The highest-ranking official is a viscount named 'Zago,' who owns a factory, and I think he can help us."

Fia nodded gently: "It might come in handy in the future."

"Um."

Roy nodded.

Then, Fias asked the others.

Everyone here is a wizard.

Five wizards.

but.

Roy wasn't thinking about the five of them, but rather about the filthy old man downstairs.

That old man...

Although his attire was flamboyant, he was clearly not a proper male servant; his hands, movements, and posture were not at all what a cleaner should be like.

Is he Danai?

Roy was deep in thought.

If so, then he has likely been exposed, because for a Seer who reaches Sequence 5, the nature of the Seer's Eye will be enhanced.

Although he can't switch on and off freely, he should be able to see through many disguises.

Including one's own changes.

of course.

The premise is that the guy is indeed a high-sequence extraordinary being.

Here, it's not convenient for Roy to ascend to the Mystic Hall; otherwise, he could determine the old man's identity through divination within the Mystic Hall.

What he needs to consider now is...

What should I do next?

Roy went through the motions during the meeting, then quietly used his extraordinary creation to observe the other five people with his "Observation" ability.

but.

He knew too little about the others to observe anything.

This is also a limitation of the "audience".

As an audience sequence, Roy's ability to suggest and guide is far less powerful, but fortunately, Roy's spirituality is relatively strong, and his Sequence 6 Eye of the Secret can also provide considerable help.

Roy is basically confirmed.

Fias probably doesn't know yet that she's in disguise.

He sat in his seat.

These wizards didn't have any particularly important intelligence; they had mostly just recruited a few more followers and developed a few more spying individuals.

Roy secretly made a mental note of it.

Then, after comparing the information, he discovered that those people had already been targeted by Liana.

The Morse Order's actions were not meticulous!

He sighed inwardly.

"Madam, didn't Lord Danai say he was coming? When can we see him?"

"It won't be long."

As Fias was speaking, she was about to get up when she suddenly paused, a look of surprise appearing on her face. Then she glanced at the five people present.

Finally, he looked at Roy.

"Lord Danai won't be coming. You may leave on your own. Groot, you go first, you're going the furthest."

"it is good."

Roy got up and left.

When he got to the first floor, he noticed that the old man who used to clean was gone.

He put on his hat and walked out of the bookstore.

After a while, the other four also came out one after another.

Upstairs next door.

Roy watched all this and quietly put on another ring.

Before long, he used witchcraft to float from above to the rooftop on this side, and with the help of the Ring of Concealment, no one could see him.

Once on the rooftop, he floated down to a balcony.

The next moment, he saw inside the room, with Fia standing in front of the table, and in front of her was a creature that looked like a bat.

"Teacher, shouldn't we kill him?"

"Why kill him? If he's with us, we can find his whereabouts and pinpoint his location."

"The bat said."

Fia lowered her head.

Just then, the bat turned its head and looked in Roy's direction.

Then it let out a sharp screech.

A silent shriek accompanied by a spiritual force assaulting Roy's brain.

This is not the power of the Hermit Path, but rather...

Resentful soul!

The resentful soul screams.

Roy felt a throbbing pain in his head and quickly threw out three reels.

The next second, flames quickly engulfed the house, and a swarm of flames was manipulated to rush into the house.

Fias scattered a cloud of powder and blood, and a wall of frost rose up.

The snow-white frost blocked the flames.

but.

In an instant, it melted.

"No, you..."

The spiritual bat dissipated, and the figure seemed to sense something was wrong, quickly leaving via a spiritual leap.

At this moment, pea vines began to droop down.

Fias sensed something was wrong.

"teacher!"

The next moment, her expression froze.

Danai is gone!

Flames engulfed the room, and the next second, Roy walked in.

Fia turned to run.

but.

Roy crossed his hands, and a pendant was held between his palms.

The green plant she was cultivating was now growing wildly, turning into a vine that wrapped around her ankle, and then a rope flew out.

"Restraint".

The vines entangled her.

Roy threw out a cloud of dust and used his spiritual power to draw out the toxins inside.

"You can't kill me, I know a lot..."

"Fias said in horror."

Roy raised an eyebrow, then said, "A psychoanalyst? Or a special trait of a hypnotist?"

"He should be a psychoanalyst."

Roy answered himself, "If it's the latter, you don't need to guide it with words; you can just hypnotize it directly."

Fia bit her lip.

She realized what was happening.

The other party already knew she had this magical item, and deliberately fell for it last time, leading her to believe that she had it in the bag.

Roy sighed.

"I originally intended to infiltrate your territory, but I never expected that the esteemed Mr. Danai would disguise himself as a servant to come here."

"In that case, we have no choice but to resort to a simpler and more direct approach."

Roy chuckled softly.

He did not approach.

The toxin continues to take effect, and it would be foolish to approach or lower one's guard until Fias is completely incapacitated.

When Fias completely collapsed to the ground.

He walked over, picked up the other person, and then quickly jumped out of the window and left, winding his way to the sewers of Hillston District.

In the sewers, he used his extraordinary hermit-like abilities to manipulate the power within, creating a veil of shadow that concealed him and Fias.

After that, Roy squatted down and examined the other person's belongings one by one, attempting to use them for divination.

pity.

As an extraordinary individual who has mastered the path of the Seekers, Danai is undoubtedly also proficient in anti-divination abilities, as evidenced by his immediate and decisive escape just now.

This guy is extremely alert.

Ascending to the mysterious hall might allow him to find the other person, but it's not convenient for him to go in right now.

Bernadette could return at any time.

"I wonder if Bernadette can catch him."

Roy sighed.

He searched around and found that Fias only had this one magical item on her; the rest were mostly spellcasting materials.

Obviously.

Danai may not have appreciated or valued her that much; he simply saw her as an agent, someone to help him with some public appearances.

As Sequence 5, he understood Backlund's horror and cruelty better than Fias.

A few seconds later, the pea vine descended.

Roy turned around.

Bernadette drooped from the pea vine, a subtle ripple on her face.

"Ma'am, you didn't catch him?"

"He has accomplices; it must have been the mysterious waiter who made the move."

Bernadette said, "In addition, there are some strange coincidences interfering."

008.

The thought flashed through Roy's mind.

Witch Cult...

Did they also cooperate with the Morse Order?

Roy thought for a moment, then asked, "What about her?"

"Leave it to me, I'll track down the person behind her."

Bernadette chuckled softly and said, "The Morse Order has done something really big in Backlund, finding so many helpers."

As an angel, she could sense the strangeness that was evident during this pursuit.

Those coincidences are highly unusual.

Also.

A Sequence 5 being able to foresee its own arrival...

That's incredible.

Bernadette narrowed her eyes slightly, confirming some of the object's functions.

"You originally planned to infiltrate their ranks?"

"It was just a casual thought, but I didn't expect the old man to be disguised as a servant. I didn't dare to expose him at the time."

Roy sighed, "I also asked the Harvest Church for help, but just as I made contact with them and confirmed the follow-up cooperation, she reminded me that I had a meeting."

"Um."

Bernadette responded.

Then, she glanced at the mask and said, "The vampires are really good to you."

Roy had previously mentioned that the vampires had commissioned someone to modify the mask to make it more usable.

"I only cooperate with them. Your help to me is incomparable to theirs. For example, this time, if you hadn't arrived, I don't know what I would have done."

Roy lowered his head and said.

Bernadette didn't respond, but pondered for a moment before saying, "This time they've been quite frightened. They won't be taking any action for a long time to come."

"I will continue to investigate."

"it is good."

Bernadette nodded, then took Fias with her. "I'll let you know if she has any results."

The next moment, she quietly left.

Roy wanted her to take him along, but considering his own secret, he finally sighed.

The Witch Cult and the Morse Order...

This was an unexpected development.

but.

Upon closer examination, it makes perfect sense.

Her appearance changed the course of events, allowing Bernadette to be promoted to Sage ahead of schedule, which made the Morse Ascetic Society value Bernadette even more.

According to Roy's guess, the mysterious waiter was probably just a mystic.

So.

It would be virtually impossible for him to deal with Bernadette alone.

Cooperation is the best approach.

Like them, the Aurora Society and the Witch Cult are all officially classified as evil god organizations, so it's not surprising that they would unite with each other.

He waited for half an hour.

Taking advantage of Bernadette's departure, he ascended to the mysterious temple and then used the extraordinary items he had acquired to perform dream divination.

Not long after, Roy saw a scene.

"Teacher, this magical item..."

"It's an extraordinary item for psychoanalysts; it can help you deal with those wizard minions, but be careful, it can't help you with observation, so you must use it very cautiously."

"Teacher, I will do my best."

Fia looked up.

Before her was the spiritual being.

This spiritual creature is imbued with Danai's spirit and can communicate on his behalf.

"It seems that Fias herself has never met Danai."

Roy had a bit of a headache.

This guy is really tough to deal with; he's even more cunning than I imagined.

So.

Is the information I received from the vampires true?

Living next to the Kingdom Museum...

It might also be fake news.

They're not easy to deal with!

of course.

It was mainly due to the help of the witch cult.

If it weren't for the Witch Cult and that pen, Bernadette would have been able to capture the other party this time, and her extraordinary ability wouldn't have slipped away.

"The Witch Cult."

Looking back, he still had to confront the witch cult.

Roy chuckled softly.

That's settled then.

Just right.

He also felt uncomfortable with these crazy witches.

"However, I still need to focus on digesting the potion in the short term, otherwise I may not be able to advance even if I get the potion."

Fortunately.

Roy already has a direction.

The role of Professor Rolling Back ultimately comes back to the rolling back of the scroll.

If his current research is successful, then he should be halfway to digestion, and then it will just be a matter of constantly repeating the role and digesting.

……

The next day, Roy obtained the necessary materials and then handed them over to Lovia through the mysterious temple.

Lovia remained devout.

Before long, following Roy's instructions, Lovia had set up the ceremony site and was just waiting for Roy to complete the ceremony.

Using his wizarding abilities, Roy disguised it as a vague, information-flowing creature, which then fell directly from the mysterious temple.

Lovia did not look up.

but.

She could feel a powerful aura descending, altering the scene, and a magical rune was engraved on the floor.

The next moment, the materials in the room suddenly connected.

Then—

Lovia looked up.

All that could be seen was an invisible creature enveloped in a torrent of information, which transformed into streams and vortexes and disappeared into the air.

On the ground, a spell symbol stood out.

Lovia closed her eyes, and a phantom image appeared behind her. After a few seconds, she quickly clasped her hands together, praising the great hermit in her heart.

The ceremony was a success!

She used the druid's soul of herding to sense the invisible pollution and toxins around her, which seemed to be guided by a force and gathered outside.

This will make the land outside the tower even more terrifying.

but.

Correspondingly, the grain in this area can be preserved to the greatest extent.

Lovia got up and went out.

Colin, who was guarding the door, already understood what had happened. He turned his head and saw Lovia's smiling face, and immediately became even calmer.

"Go back and rest. I'll take care of things here."

"it is good."

Lovia nodded gently.

food……

This is just the first step.

They cannot rely on the hermit's help indefinitely.

but.

Thankfully, there was Mr. Frank.

He's a bit crazy, but he seems to really have the ability and talent...
