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

Chapter 166 You want to establish the new element Dawn?

"I hope Miss Justice can report this to the Church of the Night."

Klein sighed inwardly.

If he could, he wouldn't want justice to be involved in dangerous situations, but now, he's firmly locked in place by that quill pen.

If you go out and do anything, you may encounter some unexpected accidents, leading to disaster.

in particular.

There is now an "Apostle of Desire" staring at him.

It would be too easy for her to control the situation.

"I wonder how things are going with Roy. I don't know exactly what he's planning, but it's probably related to the Witch Cult."

Klein walked along the road, pondering what had happened yesterday.

"Newspapers for sale! Newspapers for sale!"

"Give me a newspaper."

Klein called out to the newspaper boy, then took a copper penny from his wallet and handed it to him.

After taking the newspaper, he also noticed that news item.

"A historian?"

"A member of the Morse Order?"

Klein fell into deep thought.

It's possible.

Roy previously mentioned that a member of the Morse Penitentiary had disguised himself as a history teacher and had previously stayed at Backlund University.

It's hard to say now.

Stirring up the grass to alert the snake means it might have already escaped.

"Forget it, Roy is keeping an eye on the Morse Ascetic Society, so I don't need to worry about it. I could consider buying information about the Morse Ascetic Society from Roy and then passing it on to Mr. Hermit."

Klein boarded the public carriage and seriously considered the feasibility of the plan.

Speaking of which...

Unexpectedly, the hermit canceled the mysterious study session because of his own leave request.

Is it because you need to keep an eye on yourself and be ready to lend a hand at any time?

……

"Madam, thank you for your help. Without your delay, I might not have been able to complete the hunt."

Roy sincerely thanked the mysterious queen.

Bernadette jumped down from her pea vine seat, looked at him, and said, "The next operation must be even more secretive."

"What happened?"

Roy raised an eyebrow, realizing that Bernadette's actions might not have gone so smoothly and that she might have encountered some kind of accident.

Bernadette frowned slightly and said, "The Hidden Sage appeared yesterday."

A hidden sage?

Roy was surprised.

Immediately, he realized—

Bernadette must have encountered the mysterious waiter.

"No wonder that extraordinary item belonging to the vengeful spirit wasn't with Danai; it turned out it was taken by the mysterious servant."

Mysterious waiter...

His connection with the Hidden Sage is so deep, no wonder he dares to use a code name like "Attendant".

"He was probably targeting me, but fortunately we also had corresponding targeted actions on our side, and the target wasn't him."

Bernadette said, "This plan should have started from the moment we captured Fias, after all, we were exposed once about the vengeful spirits."

During that operation against the true creator, Sharon appeared directly in front of the true creator's vessel and used the Mystic Gate.

but.

This also indirectly confirms another point—

The Morse Order and the Aurora Society did indeed have a very deep connection, and perhaps they secretly completed many exchanges of benefits.

Roy considered whether he should ask another question.

After thinking for a moment, he finally mustered up his courage.

"Madam, are you no match for him?"

"Not necessarily. After all, it was merely a divine descent, a peculiar divine arrival achieved through the connection between the Hidden Sage and the Seer of Mysteries. It was not a true divine descent and is somewhat different from His own arrival."

Bernadette said calmly, "But in Backlund, a battle of this level could lead to many unexpected things."

"For example, the Church of the Night."

She looked north.

That's the direction of the Church of the Night's headquarters in Backlund.

Bernadette glanced at him.

"The Church of the Night has a far deeper foundation in Backlund than you imagine. It's best not to provoke them unless absolutely necessary."

"I see."

Goddess of the Night above...

Do I look like such an irrational person?

What could have driven him to cause trouble for the Church of the Night?

Roy smiled slightly.

"Having obtained the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 5, I will be focusing on drawing scrolls for a while, and I probably won't have the energy or time to hunt them."

"By the way, ma'am, does our organization have hexagonal crystals or ancient ghost dust?"

Neither of these two auxiliary materials needs to be fresh; they can be stocked up in advance.

If Dawn of Elements had it, that would be best; he wouldn't need to search for materials everywhere.

Logically speaking, there should be no shortage of auxiliary materials.

It's just a matter of price.

Bernadette nodded gently: "Yes, but I can't give it to you for free."

"No problem, I can pay for it."

Roy still had some gold pounds on hand, while Audrey still owed him a considerable amount of money.

Even after returning part of Mr. Azik's money, he still had a large amount of gold pounds left. He had originally intended to use that money to buy Sequence 5 materials, but now he didn't need it anymore.

Murder and robbery, gold belt.

The ancients never lied to me.

Once all the materials were prepared, only one question remained.

Where is the Three-Eyed Night Raven?

Astrology...

Under what celestial circumstances should I take the potion?

According to the book, the celestial signs for taking the potion have no effect on the ability and seem to be selectable at will.

but.

The ritual itself is for the purpose of stabilizing one's own state.

The starry sky is mysterious and terrifying.

Choosing an astrological sign requires careful consideration, and the timing should ideally be close to the sign to ensure safety and speed.

Based on the speed of the performance, it should be two or three months from now.

He will focus entirely on his role for the next two or three months, and will not go to places like the Mysterious Club again.

It's no longer safe there.

Bernadette nodded slightly after hearing this: "Remain silent for a while and wait for changes in the Morse Order. If things turn bad, leave Backlund as soon as possible."

As she said this, a smile suddenly appeared on her face.

"I'm not worried about you in that regard. After all, you have connections with the Earth Church. I heard you recently recruited Hyde into the Earth Church as well? Who knows, maybe a new element, Dawn, will emerge in the future."

Bernadette seems to have been joking.

but.

To Roy, however, it was nothing short of a warning.

He immediately explained, "Madam, this is a misunderstanding. He and the Earth Church were just doing business. The Earth Church provided the main material for Sequence 6, and Mr. Hyde helped draw the scroll."

"Yeah?"

Bernadette gave a half-smile.

Roy nodded firmly: "Yes, the church also wants me to inquire whether our Elements Dawn is interested in cooperating."

"cooperate……"

Bernadette thought about it seriously for a few seconds, then said, "It's possible, but the specifics of how we'll cooperate and how we'll distribute the profits need further discussion."

"Yes, if you are interested, they will have the archbishop speak with you."

"Can."

Bernadette nodded.

Then she got up and looked out the window.

"I might have to leave Backlund in the near future, so you need to be careful."

"it is good."

Roy nodded seriously.

Bernadette nodded slightly, then dispelled the spell, her figure disappearing from the spot.

……

"The mysterious queen has agreed to a meeting?"

"Yes."

Roy nodded.

Liana pondered for a moment, then said, "Alright, I will pass on the message. I believe it won't be long before His Excellency the Archbishop makes the contact."

"OK."

……

After a brief meeting, Roy obtained the extraordinary property of "Hypnotist". With the extraordinary property of Hypnotist, he returned home and ascended to the mysterious temple.

Let's do a divination for this one first.

He first picked up the extraordinary property belonging to Danai, held it and divined the relevant information, and soon a picture appeared before his eyes.

"Fias, undergo the transformation by the great Hidden Sage; this is a process we, as Seekers, must go through."

"Teacher, but after being changed, are we still ourselves?"

"Everything we do is aimed at bringing us closer to knowledge itself. After being transformed, we will be even closer to knowledge."

"Danai said gently."

Then, the screen disappeared.

Roy opened his eyes and frowned slightly as he looked at the extraordinary property in his hand.

I did a divination for someone related to Danai, and Fias appeared in the result...

He only has one student?

impossible.

After a moment's thought, he continued with the divination.

The next moment, another scene appeared.

"Teacher, who is Grimm? Why would the great Hermit Sage need to gather information about him?"

"He was a spy from the same era as Roselle, an enemy of our Morse Order. All you need to do is gather information about him and submit it."

Danai said coldly, "As for the rest, you don't need to know. Knowing won't do you any good, and there are many things that even I don't know very well."

Greene, a contemporary of Rosell...

It could only be the one frequently mentioned in Russell's diary.

In reality, the Grimm of this world is quite different from the Grimm in the novel that Roy remembers, for example—

Green should have died in the Misty Sea, instead of returning safely to land.

The emperor later lamented that if Green were still alive, he could have provided him with more effective and correct advice.

"I didn't expect that the Morse Penitentiary was also collecting things from Green."

Roy frowned slightly.

Then, he couldn't help but think of the planetarium Bernadette had given him.

That planetarium was just an ordinary prop; Roy guessed it might be a key to some place or mechanism.

It's either a keepsake or something like that.

however.

One point is worth noting.

When did Green give the planetarium to Bernadette?

If this happened before he went to Rune, it proves that before Rune, Green had obtained something worthy of the Hidden Sage's attention.

Roy looked around.

If all his guesses are correct...

He suspected that what Green had obtained might be this temple, or some related clues. Only something of this level would prompt the Hidden Sage to send the Morse Order to track and search for it.

of course.

This is just speculation.

He was still completely clueless about the specifics.

There's too little information!

Roy sighed inwardly.

He tried to continue the divination, but couldn't get anything out of it anymore. As for information related to the recipe...

He knows all the potion recipes that Danai has.

There's no point in going for another divination.

but.

He thought for a moment, then picked it up and began to divine another message.

"The origin of the Three-Eyed Raven during Danai's promotion."

however.

No results found.

The divination failed.

"pity."

Roy sighed softly.

In fact, he had a conjecture—

The cry of the Three-Eyed Night Raven is actually used to stabilize the state of Extraordinary individuals when they take potions, and it also corresponds to a certain constellation.

The essence of rituals is to stabilize a state, preventing people from becoming lost or going mad after taking the potion.

Aside from the Wilderness of Source Knowledge, nothing is closer to knowledge and allows us to glimpse the essence of humanity than the Mysterious Temple.

therefore.

To some extent, it's possible that he invoked the power of the mysterious temple to observe his own body in the form of a clone, and then his own body took the potion.

The issue is.

Roy didn't dare to gamble.

This involves one's own promotion, and unless there are successful examples, it is too foolish to gamble one's future and life on a possibility.

The bloody lesson of Roselle is right before our eyes—

It's best not to try things you don't know!

Unless someone has waded through the water.

He picked up the "Hypnotist" extraordinary property.

To be honest, Roy really wanted to separate its "psychologist" extraordinary characteristic, but after thinking it over, he gave up.

Desire is a terrible demon.

"Hypnosis..."

"A pendant?"

The first hypnotic prop Roy could think of was a pendant, but as a special item for hypnosis, it should be more discreet.

The swaying of the pendant is too conspicuous in the mysticism.

"A pocket watch?"

He thought about it and came up with the first production plan for the time being.

Integrating into a pocket watch.

This thing is portable and won't attract much attention in many situations. It would be best if closing the lid could seal the seal.

However, this requires further exploration and investigation.

After a moment's thought, Roy decided to temporarily set aside his extraordinary abilities.

If this is delayed a little longer, I believe Ms. Liana won't blame him; he'll still focus on the scroll.

the most important is--

This battle with Danai gave him some inspiration for his subsequent roles.

Danai has a wide variety of reels available, and basically has a mastery of reels for all kinds of situations.

If it weren't for his possession of the "Twisted Ring" and many extraordinary properties and items, as well as the special shielding divination of the Mysterious Temple, plus the extremely special relationship between Kasimi and Liana...

With just three ordinary Sequence 6s, it's impossible to defeat Danai.

Even if we win, it will likely be a very heavy victory, unlike the easy win we have now. Therefore, as a professor of reeling, reeling is extremely important.

He wants to master more types of reels.

In addition to the types I currently know, I need to actively learn and develop more reels and carry them with me as a reserve.

Back to reality, he continued his research and recording of scrolls.

In the afternoon, Roy put down two new research rolls.

One of these two images is about corruption.

It is an ability of the Earth Path, and also some insights Roy gained from studying the Harvest Priest Pendant and Extraordinary Knowledge.

The second image is a shadow scroll.

It can be released without the hermit's extraordinary abilities, simply by using the scroll itself. The only problem is that the scroll is very expensive!

This one scroll is equivalent to ten regular flame scrolls.

Because its ink involves the dried powder of the Shadow Hunter, a very rare material, Roy was only able to collect a portion of it thanks to the Earth Church.

and.

He also paid money.

but.

After making both types of scrolls, he could clearly feel the traces of digestion.

"It's time to prepare for the Tarot session."
