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

Chapter 163 Klein: Brother, I'm in trouble too!

"They might be members of their clan I've never heard of before, but I have no recollection of them. That's normal; you have to understand that the vampire clan is vast, and that guy Kasimi..."

"Well, you might not know this, but that guy Kasimmi used to live in Intis, a place known for its womanizers."

Emlyn rambled on and on, then suddenly stopped, looked up at Roy, and asked, "What's with that expression?"

"It's nothing. I think, uh, I might need to excuse myself for a moment."

Roy glanced at the elegant lady who entered not far away, looked down at her, and smiled, "Also, I think you should hurry up, otherwise you may not be able to finish cleaning all the rooms before noon."

"You damn bastard! You turned on me the moment you heard the answer! I'm never helping you again!"

Emlyn swore indignantly.

I'm trying to save you!

Roy smiled.

Emlyn followed his gaze and then saw the lady entering through the door. He tilted his head, muttered a few words, and then continued cleaning.

It seems...

He didn't recognize Liana.

Roy walked over.

"Madam, I was just about to come to you."

"I was looking for Kasimi for you today, so I was a little late."

She smiled, looking intently at Emlyn, then smiled broadly, "Please allow me to pray to the Mother Goddess first; this is a daily lesson for believers."

"That's your prerogative, I'm not in a hurry."

Roy nodded politely.

Emlyn didn't take it seriously. He knew this person might be the "Liana" Roy was looking for, but he didn't think there was anything about her that made her worthy of respect.

So what if they are vampires?

He's a vampire too!

not to mention.

The other party may not be a pure vampire.

Emlyn, haughty and unconvinced, quickly cleaned the two rows of seats in front used for prayer, then went to the rest of the rooms, leaving the quiet church empty.

Liana sat in a church seat, praying quietly with a very devout attitude.

After a while, she opened her eyes and ended her morning prayer session.

She turned around with a smile.

"Let's go. You must be looking for my brother, right? Perfect timing, I'll take you there now, he's free right now."

Liana smiled.

Roy nodded: "Okay."

He had no doubt about Liana's "vampire" identity.

Perhaps the Audra family doesn't actually have a person named "Liana," but she must have a very deep relationship with vampires, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to get so much information for me.

and.

It is also true that the other party has a connection with the Earth Mother Goddess.

More likely...

She has a very secret and profound connection with the Earth Mother.

Roy had no idea, and he also knew it was best not to investigate.

This secret can only be revealed by Liana herself.

of course.

Like Emlyn, who inadvertently revealed something, it shouldn't be considered something he actively sought out, and the other party wouldn't be offended by it.

He followed them out and slowly walked onto the carriage.

The male servants outside the carriage seemed unfazed, even offering slight smiles. Once inside, Liana chuckled softly.

"What an adorable vampire child, everything is written all over his face."

Liana chuckled softly. "There aren't many vampires like him these days."

Ok?

Roy's heart skipped a beat, and for a moment he didn't know how to agree.

"Don't overthink it. My identity may indeed be a bit mysterious, but it shouldn't be as high as you think."

Liana chuckled softly.

Roy's eyelids twitched, and he said, "Madam, as Emlyn said, when a family grows large, it's possible for descendants to be found anywhere."

"Um."

Liana nodded, not dwelling on the topic.

She looked out the window, then suddenly sighed, "Green, you've always been a person of principle, but many things are inevitable, and one person's strength is too limited."

"Is this guidance from the Mother Goddess?"

"No, that's just my personal suggestion."

Liana whispered.

"I understand, but I still think we should do it."

Roy's mind wasn't just filled with Klein, but also with Sherman, the witch whose fate he had altered.

He didn't indulge in love, but instead embarked on a path of fighting against gangs and human trafficking, along with Hugh and Audrey.

Compared to them.

Their own goals are often driven by self-interest, unlike the pure goals others have.

but.

no doubt.

I still want to do something.

Liana looked out the window, a smile playing on her lips, and took out some sunflower seeds from her pouch, spreading them out in front of Roy.

"I'll see Kasim later. I've already convinced them about the cooperation. Now it's just a matter of how to proceed."

"You'll have to figure that out yourself."

Her topics jumped around a lot.

Roy didn't dwell on the previous topic, but instead said, "No problem, I'll handle it myself."

"Um."

……

Around noon, in a restaurant on the famous upscale street in the West End, Roy met Casimi Audra.

His attire was very gentlemanly, and his middle-aged appearance did not diminish his charm at all; he was a very handsome older man.

"Hello, Mr. Casimi, I am Green Rost."

"Mr. Green."

Kasimi stood up, shook hands, and bowed.

After exchanging greetings, the two sat down in the private room and began discussing business.

"Mr. Green, I heard that you are going to deal with a Sequence 5 Extraordinary this time. I would like to help, but I have a question."

Kasimi got straight to the point, "What kind of help do you have? It'll be difficult for the two of us to deal with a Sequence 5 on our own, especially since the opponent might also have an extraordinary item from a vengeful spirit."

He stared intently, observing Roy's behavior.

Roy simply smiled faintly.

"Of course I have helpers. First, there's a spiritual being who can probably unleash Sequence 5 power. Second, there's a scroll professor, a weapons master..."

He briefly mentioned his support team, excluding weaker potential allies like Fors and Hugh.

These few alone are already powerful enough among ordinary wild extraordinary beings.

Kasimi's expression turned serious.

After listening, he pondered for a moment and said, "Too many people might actually hinder performance; it would be better to keep things streamlined."

"Of course I know about the existence of high-sequence individuals, but in the current Backlund, it's best to keep them out of sight."

Roy said calmly.

Kasim raised an eyebrow, about to ask a question, but then glanced at Liana and saw her nod slightly, so he immediately sat back down.

After a moment's thought, he said, "I will help, and the potions can be provided free of charge, but I have one condition."

"explain."

Roy sat up straight.

Kasimi said, "You'll have to help us deal with the believers who worship the primordial moon. I heard you're friends with two Temperance practitioners, so you'll probably run into them."

Many of the followers of the Primordial Moon joined the indulgent faction of the Rose School.

"Can."

This does not conflict with Roy's goals.

"It's been a pleasure working with you. When are we going to make our move?"

"I need to check on my friend's actions first. Do you have a messenger?"

Roy looked at Casimi.

Kasim's expression stiffened slightly, then he gently shook his head: "No."

"This is my messenger spell. If action is required, I will send you a message."

"..."

Kasimi lowered his head and fell into deep thought for a while.

He had reason to suspect that the other party was putting on a show.

Professor of Roll Reel.

An extraordinary individual who dares to actively hunt Sequence 5.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Roy got up and left without Liana seeing him off.

He can take a car back by himself.

Wait until he leaves.

Kasimi then turned to Liana: "Madam, who exactly is he? He doesn't seem like an ordinary esper or extraordinary being."

"Of course, if he were an ordinary person, the Mother Goddess would not have chosen him as one of her chosen ones."

Liana smiled and said, "Also, you should call me sister."

Kasimi's face stiffened, then he slowly nodded: "Okay, then, regarding joining the Church of the Earth Mother Goddess..."

"This is voluntary, not a forced choice. You can choose to join or not."

Liana said calmly, "But believe me, under the guidance of the Mother Goddess, you will all eventually find your way into her embrace."

Kasimi nodded slightly and said, "Some of us are already studying the Mother Goddess's teachings. If it's voluntary, the vampires won't stop us."

"That's enough."

Liana smiled and said, "I receive the grace of the Mother Goddess, but I am also a chosen one of the Progenitors. Hasn't that been proven?"

"Yes."

Kasimi sat there awkwardly.

He pondered for a long time before finally bravely asking a question that had been weighing on his mind for a long time.

"Why Audra?"

"Is that even a question? My dear Casimi, in a place like Intis, it's not surprising to suddenly have an extra sister, is it?"

Liana smiled broadly.

Kasimi opened his mouth slightly, but couldn't utter a single word for a moment.

……

Back home, Roy chanted the words "Fool" and asked to speak with Klein—

He dared not communicate with Klein by messenger or in person.

Fortunately, Klein had revealed his identity.

and so.

"The Fool" and "The Gray Fog" became their most concealed and best channels of communication.

A moment later, he saw Klein in the gray fog.

"Roy, what's wrong?"

Klein seemed very tired.

I don't know what happened between him and the witch.

Roy thought to himself.

He then asked, "Now that you've made contact with Triss, what are your plans?"

"I was planning to go to the Church of the Night, but my gut feeling told me that I might be in danger tonight, so I informed Mr. Azik in advance."

Klein explained his situation.

He sighed.

"That apostle of desire hasn't made a move against me yet, but I have a feeling he'll jump out at this time. After all, that thing is very good at manipulating all kinds of people to achieve its own needs."

"That's perfect, I'll make my move tonight too."

Although there's a study session tonight, but...

It can be cancelled temporarily.

and.

Klein might come to him even before he has to ask.

Ok?

and many more.

This seems to be a minor conflict.

Klein had asked me for help before...

Roy fell into deep thought.

He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then I'll make my move tonight too. That way, we can avoid being noticed by the other side as much as possible, or at least one of us can be saved."

"it is good."

Klein nodded, about to disband the Fool, when Roy's voice rang out again.

"Dear Mr. Fool, if I encounter danger, I wonder if I may ask you for help."

"..."

Klein's face stiffened.

I think you're making things difficult for me!

We're barely able to take care of ourselves, why would we offer you help?

His mind raced as he considered how to respond. After a moment, Klein chuckled softly, "If I happen to be paying attention."

No response means no attention.

Klein thought to himself.

Roy bowed his head: "Thank you."

……

Roy returned to reality and sat down in his seat, thinking about how to spend the evening.

After a moment, he entered the mysterious hall.

That information still needs further verification.

He tried many divination methods.

Most of it is about tonight's operation—

Regardless, he had to hunt "Danai" today.

If Klein can't ask for leave, then he'll have to use his alternate account; in any case, he'll have to cancel a meeting tonight.

This is for a better chance of promotion.

Secondly, that is.

If Klein seeks his help, how can he help him without being online?

"If only I could design a program that could directly respond and offer help, that would not only help Klein, but I could also get help in real life by praying."

Roy thought to himself.

At that moment, he suddenly thought of a solution.

Roller!

In a way, a reel is like a "program" that can be activated by using spirituality.

If a portion of the informational power of the mysterious temple were to be materialized in the form of a scroll, to protect those who pray...

He quickly considered the feasibility of this idea.

"If I had Professor Roll's extraordinary abilities, it wouldn't be difficult to do this, but the problem is I don't have them right now."

"I can only settle for the next best thing..."

Roy picked up the Wizard's Extraordinary Aspect.

He has recently been using this extraordinary property to create clones.

If it can't be done directly with a roller.

We had no choice but to settle for second best.

Roy began to brainstorm ideas.

"I wonder if I can indirectly respond to the temple's prayers through the Wheel of Fortune card and then activate that part of its power."

This requires a spell to be pre-set.

As for protecting one's mindset and emotions, it's actually quite simple: just put Klein in a state where he's being pulled in but not pulled in.

The challenge lies in achieving this even when "no one is home".

He extended spirituality, infusing it into the wizard's extraordinary characteristics, creating an informational avatar above the temple, and then combining it with the Wheel of Fortune card to give it special power and stabilize spirituality.

Roy succeeded.

With the help of the Wheel of Fortune card, his spiritual avatar can remain in the temple for a period of time, but...

It seems unable to respond.

Roy stood outside, trying to pray.

He then felt his prayers, but nothing happened.

but.

Roy looked around.

Books and knowledge show signs of being brought to life, but not very obviously.

This shows that...

In this way, the mysterious temple still has an impact on reality, even if it's not as effective as having someone personally oversee it, it's still much better than nothing.
