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

Chapter 194 Conditions met, prepare for the ceremony!

A party of the Rose School?

Roy became more interested and asked, "Did you find their meeting place?"

"Hmm, we've found a thief of vampire blood essence and a calamity priest of the original Life School."

"A calamity priest? That's rare."

"Are you interested?"

"certainly!"

Roy answered without hesitation.

How could I not be interested in anything related to the Rose School?

"Let's go then."

"The problem is, how do I get there? You have to consider that although I can use witchcraft, the cost of flying witchcraft is extremely high, and the speed is not fast."

"Don't worry, how could I let you fly there by yourself? That would make me look bad as a guest, since you are a member of the Mother Goddess's retinue."

Liana smiled.

Then, she grabbed Roy and quickly flew off the balcony.

Roy's face turned pale.

"How was it? Did you feel the joy of flying?"

No, no.

Roy's face turned slightly pale.

If Liana simply clung to him while flying, Roy could adapt quickly, after all, he was also a scroll professor skilled in flight magic.

however.

Liana's flight was like a performance, going up and down like she was doing acrobatics.

"Madam, if you keep going like this, I might not be able to join the party and will have to go to the hospital to rest instead."

"Believe in yourself, you are the Scroll Professor of Sequence 6."

Liana responded with a smile.

However, her movements became more normal, no longer as exaggerated as before.

Have you decided on the astrological sign for your promotion?

"The Harvest constellation. I've studied this constellation quite extensively, and the directions associated with it can provide me with even greater assistance."

Roy answered.

There are two constellations related to the earth.

One is a farming constellation, and the other is a harvest constellation.

but.

In astrology, the Planting constellation carries the psychological imagery of "eagerness and adventure," as well as the meaning of "new life."

Neither of these seem to be very smooth directional vocabulary.

"newborn"……

God knows what kind of new life it is.

Perhaps being contaminated is also a form of "new life"?

In comparison.

The psychological imagery associated with the harvest constellation is far more auspicious.

Cautious and diligent.

These are all essential for the advancement of extraordinary individuals.

"You still believe in these things?"

"Recently, the Hidden Sage has been feeding me knowledge about astrology. I suspect he wants to interfere with my advancement, so I have to be careful."

Roy explained.

Liana pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly: "We do need to be careful. If we are accidentally interfered with by the Hidden Sage, the probability of failing the advancement will be very high."

"That's what I think too."

If it weren't for this consideration, Roy himself could have tried to use the Mysterious Temple or cooperate with the Earth Mother Goddess's protection to meet the advancement requirements.

Anyway.

The Three-Eyed Raven primarily provides shelter, isolating itself from the starry sky and preventing pollution from affecting it.

That's why...

Only the "secrecy" of the night can fulfill the promotion ceremony.

After "Secret" is activated, Roy's connection with the astral plane will be blocked and isolated, achieving an effect similar to that of the Three-Eyed Raven.

but.

Normally, it would be quite difficult to ask an angel from the Night Path to intervene in this sequence.

As Roy thought about this, he couldn't help but think of "The Fool" and the message from Nina.

They all point to the presence of the Three-Eyed Night Raven in the Tomb of Amun.

Ah Mon...

Roy initially believed that the other party intended to ambush him, using the Three-Eyed Raven to perform a ritual and then take his place.

but.

After a period of careful thought and calm reflection, he realized that he was overthinking things.

Amon was unaware that he was only Sequence 6.

Therefore, the opponent using the Three-Eyed Raven as a springboard is most likely not a direct attack on us.

It is very likely that—

The Morse Order, or the Steam Church.

For Amon, the two forces were pretty much the same; he could use this opportunity to infiltrate the other's camp and search for any potential "hermits."

"Amon, you're really free."

Roy sighed inwardly.

That's the advantage of having good parents.

Like myself and Klein...

Although they all received some protection, their lives were far more difficult than Amon's.

"arrive."

Liana looked down.

Based on the surrounding environment, terrain, and the direction he had flown in, Roy roughly determined his current location.

This is the northwestern outskirts of Backlund.

I vaguely remember...

"Is this Snow Ridge Town? I vaguely remember that's its name."

"You guys have a really good memory for this route. This place is indeed called Snow Ridge Town. It's very close to the West District and is a must-pass place in the West District and its outskirts."

Liana slowly descended.

She glanced down and said, "Could you use your shadow abilities to conceal yourself?"

"It's already being done."

Roy possessed extraordinary characteristics.

The next moment, his figure disappeared into Liana's shadow.

……

Xueling Town.

Why did we meet here?

"Lord Zatwin has orders that you need to carry out."

A woman in a long black dress sat on a chair, leaning back and revealing her long, slender legs.

They are all in good shape.

The downturned corners of her mouth detract from her overall appearance, but she is still quite good-looking overall.

"Windsor, don't think you can order me around just because you have Lord Zartwin around."

The man opposite her said coldly.

"Zam, I am only a Sequence 7, and I dare not arbitrarily impersonate Lord Zhatwin's orders."

Windsor said with a serious expression, "He wants you to cause some trouble in the eastern part of Backlund."

Zam stared at her with malicious intent.

Then, he sneered, "The East District?"

"Yes, it's best to leave immediately after causing a lot of trouble in the area near the North District to avoid being captured by the Church of the Night."

Windsor Belling said solemnly, "This is an order personally issued by His Excellency Zartwin."

"Where is Lord Zhatwin?"

"He's searching for those two people; they'll definitely try to impersonate them after their promotions."

Windsor said, "As long as they're acting, they'll slip up eventually. It's only a matter of time before they find out, unless they've already left Backlund."

Zam stood up.

"I will do it, but after completing this task, I will leave Backlund."

He said with dissatisfaction, "Before I came here, Lord Zartwin said I could spread disaster at will, or capture and kill Roy King of the Cult of Life, but he did not do so."

"He didn't even give me any definite information."

Zam clearly expressed his opinion.

Windsor paused for a few seconds, then said, "We have indeed found his disciple, and we are currently searching for Roy King's whereabouts based on his disciple's information. We will let you know as soon as we have any news."

"Ah, I hope that day will come."

Zam walked towards the door.

Once outside, his eyes betrayed his malice and madness as he walked the streets, searching for targets to spread disaster.

He stopped at the street corner.

This feeling...

It seems that something unfortunate is about to happen.

As a calamity priest, he himself will also fall into a certain degree of misfortune and suffer some calamities.

Having adapted to various disasters, they are adept at coping with all kinds of misfortunes...

Only in this way can one become a winner.

however.

Many calamity priests die on the road to becoming winners.

At that moment, Zam felt an unprecedented crisis.

He immediately turned around, wanting to go back.

but.

The streetlights at night illuminated the surroundings, casting shadows that suddenly coalesced into thin threads.

Then—

The silk thread is winding around!

Hermit?

Or are they other shadow-related sequences?

As an extraordinary being who had experienced the "Machine" sequence, he calmly and precisely dodged the first part of the shadow.

but.

The next second—

His spiritual and lucky warnings told him that his crisis was drawing ever closer.

Zam didn't hesitate any longer and quickly turned and ran towards the bar.

but.

In the darkness, vines had somehow grown up to his feet and were growing beneath him.

In the dim light, he could vaguely see flowers emerging on the vines, emanating a strange fragrance.

poisonous!

but.

The shadows were like locks, trapping him within, while the vines transformed into chains that bound him.

In addition, the toxins spread rapidly—

Zam had just realized what was happening when he tried to use his spiritual powers to attack the two shadows in front of him, but touching them was completely useless.

Instead, he himself felt dizzy.

The next second, he heard a strange "click" sound.

Then, Zam completely lost consciousness.

……

In the bar, Windsor was preparing to leave.

When she reached the door, she saw a familiar figure walking towards her.

She frowned, pulled her hat down, and walked over.

"Zam, is there anything else?"

"have."

Zam looked up.

In the dim light, his gaze appeared rather deep and vacant.

Windsor sensed something was wrong.

She quickly backed away.

but.

The next moment, a powerful spiritual force extended forth.

Mental storm!

Extraordinary abilities derived from the Calamity Priest.

This ability directly affects the spiritual body. If the spiritual body is weaker than him, it will be affected by him and fall into a brief state of dizziness and disorientation.

An extraordinary being like Windsor is certainly not as good as a scourge priest.

however.

Unfortunately, the people he encountered before were not ordinary.

One is Roy.

The other is Liana, whose true identity even Roy couldn't guess...

After using his ability, some rationality returned to his eyes, but the next moment—

He felt a sharp pain in his heart.

A dagger was plunged straight into his heart!

Zam looked down, then turned around in disbelief, and two figures appeared behind him.

"It's simpler than I expected."

Liana sighed.

Roy drew his dagger.

This dagger possesses the ability to produce poison, which can be generated directly and rapidly circulate throughout the body along with the heartbeat, rendering Zam completely incapacitated.

He couldn't even put up a fight back before he died.

A few seconds later, he lost his life.

Roy said, "Maybe he just had some bad luck today."

"Maybe."

Liana smiled and walked forward, her pocket watch open.

As they drew nearer, she continued to use the power of hypnosis to amplify the hypnotic effect on Windsor.

A few seconds later, she said, "What does Zhatwin want to do?"

"He wanted Zam to create trouble in the East District to attract the Church of the Night. I don't know the specifics; I was only responsible for receiving and transmitting information."

Windsor answered calmly.

After that, Liana didn't ask any more questions about it, but instead said calmly, "The position of a vampire in the same sequence as you."

"I only know of three, they are..."

Windsor didn't know the exact address, but gave a general answer.

Then, Liana asked a few more questions, and Windsor, who was in a deep hypnosis, answered them all without reservation.

Unless she herself doesn't know.

Roy watched quietly from the sidelines, waiting for the Calamity Priest to reveal his extraordinary abilities.

After waiting a few minutes, Liana ended the interrogation and killed Windsor as well.

"It seems there are connections between the Aurora Society, the Morse Ascetic, and the Rose School; they have collaborated in some form."

"It should be the Ascetic Order of Morse."

Roy then recounted some of the findings from his previous investigation.

In fact, the vampires had also gathered this kind of information, but it wasn't as comprehensive as Roy's.

He obtained his information directly from esoteric figures such as psychic scroll professors and astrologers.

"Um."

Liana looked down. "Do you have a way to speed up the precipitation process?"

"no."

If you're not there, you definitely will.

Roy thought to himself.

Although he and the Earth Mother Goddess may know some things about each other, they still need to keep some things from each other.

After waiting for several minutes, they all received what they needed.

Liana said, "Let's go."

"What about those artificial vampires?"

"Let the rest of the vampires go hunting. Our vampire clan is holding a competition soon, and hunting them is the competition."

She answered.

Then she turned around and said, "By the way, if you want to advance in the Harvest Star alignment, you can do it tonight."

"Tonight? The auspicious stars for a bountiful harvest shouldn't be too obvious tonight. The best time should be next Tuesday."

Roy stated the time he predicted.

Liana nodded: "Normally, that's true, but the best time you know, the Hidden Sages certainly know as well."

"Using the connection with the Mother Goddess?"

"Yes, it is possible to have a brief, early influence. This is part of the Mother Goddess's promise, and for the Church of the Night, your becoming a Sequence 5 will be beneficial and harmless."

Liana said.

Roy didn't quite understand.

Given the capabilities of the Church of the Night, unless an angel from the Aurora Society arrives, they shouldn't need a Sequence 5 to participate...

Will the giant snake also get involved?

That's possible.

If that guy is also involved, the Church of the Night should indeed take him seriously.

also……

It may also be related to their schemes over there.

A vague, unmentionable image flashed through Roy's mind.

It must be related to him too.

Thinking of this, Roy nodded slightly, and his suspicions about Liana's purpose in bringing him here deepened.

but.

He didn't think the other person would harm him.

If the Earth Mother wanted to do this, she could have used a simpler method instead of going through so many twists and turns.

"Alright, then the promotion will be tonight."
