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

Chapter 193 Mr. A: Don't trick me again!

"Well, blood usually represents war, and as for fire, there's a Sequence 7 pathway that seems to be related to fire, but I forgot."

Iconsel's expression was serious. "However, Arrodes can usually give a fairly clear answer. This is only the second time something like this has happened."

"A second time? What happened the first time?"

"The first one was a sunset, a pattern of the earth, which we still can't figure out."

Icons answered, but did not provide the specific question at the time.

Dusk, the earth?

Klein's mind raced, and he instantly understood the answer corresponding to the pattern.

The Twilight Hermit's Gathering!

I can't say.

Whatever is said will be known.

"Can you think of any organization that corresponds to it?"

"I don't know. As a wild Extraordinary, I know very little about any organization."

Klein answered "frankly".

Iconsel chuckled to himself.

"Yes, I forgot. Well then, I'll go back and discuss it with the people in the church, and then come back to investigate. I'll contact you again if I have any results."

"Okay, thank you."

After thanking him, Klein decisively left the West End.

Back home, he pondered the reaction of the silver mirror from earlier that day, and then a sense of unease crept over him.

Why did it react this way?

This made him feel like he was punching cotton, and the other party wasn't actually being very difficult with that question.

because……

Klein knew perfectly well that he had lied and wasn't telling the truth, but the other party hadn't called him out on it.

of course.

This could also be the effect of the "Black Emperor" blasphemous card.

"Let's check out the gray fog."

……

Hillston District, next to the library.

"Dilraba, is there any news from your side?"

"Ms. Corrie, not yet, but I heard that Earl Hall is hosting a ball on Friday and has invited all the nobles who own fiefdoms."

Dilline replied.

Kori thought for a moment and said, "Earl Hall, that wealthy banker?"

"Yes, he was also a great nobleman with a fief."

"Understood. The main purpose of this meeting is to remind everyone to keep their distance from the Earth Church recently."

Ms. Ke Li smiled and said, "Recently, the Earth Church has been contacting our people, and many have already believed in them and then been killed. Everyone should be vigilant."

……

At home, Roy sat in his seat reading a book, pondering when Klein could reach a "cooperation" agreement with Silver Mirror.

At that moment, the void twisted.

Immediately afterwards, the owl appeared and spat out a letter.

Roy took it.

The letter was delivered by Dillian. It contained a summary of her recent experiences at a meeting, mentioning—

"The meeting was suspended for a while, but recently a new member, Corey Bridge, a Sequence 7 wizard, has arrived."

"Furthermore, she mentioned the Church of the Earth..."

The above contains information about the meeting.

Roy glanced at it once, then put it aside.

"What rank is she in now?"

"Based on my observation, he should be a Sequence 8 Fighting Scholar, which is considered a relatively fast advancement."

Nina answered.

It stopped on the table and said, "You seem to be having a bit of bad luck lately."

"Hmm, the effect of a magical item."

Roy combed his hair.

His work experience is terrible now; his daily colleagues are affected in various ways.

Fortunately.

So far, he hasn't been in any serious car accidents; at most, he's just experienced some bumps and jolting.

Nina thought for a moment and said, "Oh right, that guy called the Disguised Detective contacted me and asked me about some secret cases."

"What incident?"

"I told him about the mysterious knowledge concerning Tudor, including the pathways to war and disaster."

Nina answered.

Roy pondered for a moment, then nodded to indicate that he understood.

It seems that Klein has already met with the people of the Steam Church and found an opportunity to touch the Silver Mirror.

The time has come!

Nina paused for a moment, then continued, "Also, I've learned something else about the Three-Eyed Night Raven."

"Do you have any news about the Three-Eyed Raven?"

Roy asked in surprise.

Nina said, "It wasn't me. It was the Spirit Order. They found a three-eyed raven on the outskirts of Backlund."

"Outside Backlund..."

Roy was not pleased.

He had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

After a few seconds of thought, he saw Nina off and then immediately prepared the altar.

"A fool who doesn't belong to this era..."

……

"A fool who doesn't belong to this era."

"You are the mysterious ruler above the gray fog."

"You are the king of yellow and black, the embodiment of good fortune!"

I beg for your gaze.

"I beg for your help."

"..."

Illusory prayers rose and fell.

Klein opened his eyes, somewhat speechless. He had received a revelation during the divination in the gray mist earlier—

In reality, dream divination can provide insights.

and so.

He returned to reality and entered the dream world.

did not expect.

I had just gotten into the zone when I saw a scene, and then prayers started.

"The scene I just saw was supposed to be the Steam Church using the Mirror of Arodes. I can't believe I witnessed it."

Klein was somewhat surprised.

He thought for a few seconds, then took four steps backward and rose into the gray mist.

Roy?

What does he want to do?

With a flick of his finger, Klein extended his spirituality.

A short while later.

The image of Roy praying reappears.

"I hope you can tell me where in Backlund there is a way to obtain the Three-Eyed Raven or complete the Astrologer Ascension Ritual."

Klein was stunned.

What could I possibly know?

Fortunately.

He had waited for a moment, and didn't directly pull Roy into the mysterious hall to ask questions, otherwise Mr. Fool would have been exposed by now.

He remained silent.

After pondering for a moment...

"If we can reconnect with the Mirror of Arodes, perhaps we can try asking it in a dream divination."

With that thought in mind, he returned to reality and used his dream divination to find information about "Arods".

The next moment, a mirror appeared out of thin air.

"Great being above the spirit realm, your loyal and humble servant Arodes is honored to see you again."

"..."

It just feels so out of place.

It's such an evil being, yet it always seems particularly strange whenever it encounters me.

Forget it.

The other party should respect the "gray fog" surrounding them, not themselves.

Klein has a good sense of self-awareness.

He naturally adopted the posture of a "fool," then chuckled softly, "I have a question."

"Please ask, great being."

"Do you know where in Backlund you can find Three-Eyed Night Ravens, or any alternative to becoming an Astrologer?"

Klein tried to remain calm.

Otherwise, he would worry that a "great being above the spirit world" asking such an ordinary question would be contrary to his great image.

but.

The words quickly appeared in the silver mirror in the dream.

"The Steam Church, the tomb of a terrifying being."

"Alternative: The Secrets of the Church of the Night."

Two lines of text appeared on the silver mirror.

Klein paused slightly, pondering—

The first option is self-evident.

The Steam Church must possess the Three-Eyed Night Raven.

As for the terrifying tombs...

Klein sighed softly, "According to the rules, it's your turn now."

New words appeared on the silver mirror.

"Great being, do you wish to know the origins of this terrifying being?"

This……

Isn't this going too far?

Klein couldn't help but complain, but he was secretly delighted.

"think."

"They were once a very famous angel family in the Fourth Age, and their family name was the name of that great being."

"Amon?"

Without hesitation, Klein uttered the name.

The image reflected in the silver mirror read: "Yes."

Ah Mon...

"Great being above the spirit realm, do you have any further questions?"

"there is none left."

Klein answered.

"It was a pleasure to serve you, and I hope we'll have this opportunity again next time."

The silver mirror in the dream slowly disappeared.

Klein returned to reality, still somewhat in disbelief.

That's it?

The Magic Mirror of Arrodes is truly peculiar!

He became increasingly certain that the mirror had a strong connection to the spirit world, and that his own gray mist might also have a deep connection to the spirit world.

The reason the other party found me might also be related to my divination in the gray fog.

Divination itself is a form of revelation from the spiritual realm.

This is mutual.

As the dream faded, Klein composed himself and returned above the gray fog, handing over the answer he had obtained to Roy.

……

"Steam Church, excluded."

"Amon's Tomb, hmm, it's not surprising that there are Three-Eyed Ravens there, but Amon is too dangerous."

Roy frowned.

The Tomb of Amun--

That old bastard, could he be planning to steal my body under the guise of this?

This possibility cannot be ruled out.

Although the wilderness of knowledge did not benefit Amon in any way, Amon was beyond the comprehension of common sense.

Of the three options, he preferred to seek help from the Church of the Night.

Although the Goddess of Night is also terrifying, at least she has clear logic and goals, and she has Lilith as a connection...

No matter what, it shouldn't warrant being locked up in that small town.

The ability to remain hidden.

This is something only the Church of the Night can do, but following this line of thought, their own mysterious temple could also achieve a certain degree of secrecy.

Only one thing—

The wise man is hidden.

He also has a certain connection with the Wilderness of Knowledge, holds a very high position, and can influence all those who seek the secrets.

If, during one's own ascension, He were to influence one's own ritual, it could lead to very terrible consequences—

Star pollution!

Once contaminated by the pollution from the stars, even the best seedlings will be abandoned.

For example, Russell.

He had a smooth start, but after being corrupted by the stars, no god supported him anymore.

Including the god of steam and machinery who has always been supported.

because……

Nobody wants to see the Outer Gods come in.

Including Amon.

Roy pondered for a few seconds, then changed the ornaments on the altar and replaced the prayer.

This time, he prayed to the "Earth Mother Goddess," hoping that the generous Earth Mother Goddess would provide assistance.

……

Night fell, and all was quiet.

In a certain area of ​​the western district, a figure quietly arrived.

After revealing himself, he looked in one direction.

"I have arrived."

"Mr. A, I've been waiting for you for half an hour. Please have a seat."

Someone was talking in their seat.

Then, a figure appeared quietly.

"Mysterious Attendant, you contacted us not because you still want our help to attack the Earth Church, but because you want us to?"

Mr. A smiled slightly, "If this is the kind of cooperation we are sorry, we cannot cooperate with Aurora Club."

"Of course not."

The mysterious waiter gestured for him to sit down.

Then, he took out a piece of paper and threw it over.

Mr. A picked it up.

"Underground ruins?"

"Yes, there's a historical site beneath the house that Raft Pound sold before, and we obtained the information through some special channels."

The mysterious waiter smiled.

Mr. A took the paper in his hand, shook it, and then shredded it.

"What good does this do us?"

"According to the information, there is a terrible evil spirit inside, which may be related to the Red Angel from back then."

"Red Angel..."

Mr. A remained silent.

The Red Angel Medici is a faithful servant of the Lord.

If it really is Medici, he would definitely do everything he can to save him, but the problem is, didn't Medici die back then?

He thought for a moment and said, "I need some time to think."

"No problem. If you've made your decision, I hope you can give me a clear answer."

"That's what the mysterious waiter replied."

Mr. A nodded slightly: "Okay, I will contact you again later."

He then walked out of the house and quickly disappeared into the shadows of the night.

After a while, Mr. A returned to his hiding place, knelt on the ground, his face full of piety and respect.

A few seconds later, his body trembled slightly.

finally--

"You're awesome!"

……

Meanwhile, Roy also received a response.

A response from Mother Earth.

Only a single word.

"it is good."

……

At midnight, an elegant and beautiful figure landed on the balcony, and the bat wings behind her quickly retracted.

Liana gently knocked on the balcony door.

A few seconds later, the door opened.

"Welcome, ma'am."

Roy opened the door with a smile.

Liana walked in and asked, "How have you been lately?"

"Not so good, rather unlucky. After all, you know about that magical item. Although it brings me good luck, the price is that I have to face misfortune on a regular basis."

Roy said helplessly.

Liana smiled and said, "This is the necessary price."

Then she sat down on the sofa.

"I've inquired about the help you received from the Mother Goddess, and they said they can provide assistance in this regard."

"And the price?"

Roy knew.

If there were no cost involved, Liana wouldn't have needed to come all this way.

Liana nodded gently.

"Yes, you need to assist the Church of the Night in doing something."

"Could it be that they also make scrolls?"

Roy guessed.

Liana gently shook her head.

"No, the Aurora Society is about to launch an operation, and the Church of the Night needs your assistance."

"An aurora viewing party?"

Roy frowned, instinctively sensing something was wrong. "What about the Morse Order? Could they be involved this time too?"

"Maybe yes, maybe no, but it doesn't matter, you don't need to pay too much attention."

Liana got up, grabbed a cup, made herself a cup of tea as if they were old friends, and then walked back gracefully.

"The church can handle this on its own, and I can guarantee that nothing will happen to your friends."

"That's good. I'll be careful on my own."

Roy nodded.

Liana glanced at it.

"Do you have the energy tonight?"

"What's wrong?"

"I'll take you to a party hosted by the Rose School."
