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

Chapter 198 Pales: Use your brain!

"Are you going to walk back?"

The other person glanced at Roy, then smiled and said, "Why don't we walk together for a while? Anyway, we can't get any further ahead."

"Alright."

Roy did not refuse.

After walking a few steps, the other person introduced himself: "My name is Alan Chris, a doctor."

"Aeger White, an academic, works in a library."

Roy introduces himself.

"The Kingdom Library?"

"No, Hillston's."

"Getting into Hillston's library isn't easy either; it's mostly filled with children of nobles. A scholar like you is truly remarkable!"

Allen sighed.

Roy smiled without saying a word.

You can't just say...

He was also assigned there, no different from those nobles, and might even have had more influence than them.

The nobles, at least, entered through family connections, and their identities were genuine, while my own identity was fake.

I wonder what the real Iger White is doing right now.

Roy thought for a moment, then glanced sideways.

Dr. Allen's unborn child is Will Oncetin, and he can't help but suspect that the man is involved, but he has no evidence.

of course.

It's also possible that the other person sensed the "Wheel of Fortune" from them.

The Blasphemy cards possess certain extraordinary effects, such as reversing divination and aggregating similar sequences.

Although I keep it hidden away, using it as a spirit might cause this kind of impact.

This is something to be wary of.

after all--

Today, Backlund is not only home to Will the snake, but also to Ouroboros.

The Angel King of the Mercury Serpent sequence.

Encountering a small snake might only cost you ice cream, but encountering a large snake could mean paying with a "Desecration Card".

That hurts so much.

"Mr. Egger, I've arrived. See you next time."

"Hmm? You live around here?"

"Of course not."

Allen smiled and then explained, "There's a coffee shop here that my friend owns, and I left my bicycle here."

"bicycle?"

Roy paused for a moment, then realized that Klein should be starting to invest in bicycles by now.

Um--

Unexpectedly, Allen bought another one.

"You've never seen such a creation before, have you? In this situation, it's much more convenient than a carriage, though it's a bit undignified, so I'll ride here to get ready and then walk over."

Allen explained.

"As a doctor, a presentable appearance is essential."

Roy praised it.

Allen nodded in deep agreement: "Yes, if you're not presentable enough, customers will think you're not professional enough, and that's why you won't make money."

"That's how it is in Backlund."

He sighed.

Then, Allen waved goodbye and walked into the alley.

Roy paused and stared for two seconds.

Under the Eye of Secrets, nothing in the surroundings could be hidden, but the other party did not have any extraordinary enhancements.

Angel of Destiny...

We should leave this awful place as soon as possible.

Try to resolve the issues of food and the Church of the Night as soon as possible, then leave Backlund and head to the sea to complete Bernadette's request.

In this way, his debts would be over.

Roy sighed.

Difficult!

Although the debtor is often considered the boss, the creditors have the ability to collect the debt, and they can be quite powerful, which is quite awkward.

……

Saturday night, at a cemetery in Tingen.

Daly and Leonard stood in front of two adjacent graves to mourn. After a few seconds, Daly's tone became slightly impatient.

"Is it okay now?"

"Uh, yes, I'll do it."

Leonard remained silent for a moment.

He really wanted to say it.

Sister!

Are you really not afraid of digging up the wrong thing, and finding Dunn inside?

Daisy impatiently picked up the shovel.

"When are you going to wait? I'm a professional at grave robbing."

Then she looked at the graves beside her.

After a few seconds of silence, Daly said, "Go to Klein's side, be careful, don't spill it."

"it is good."

Leonard picked up another shovel.

They quickly got to work, and soon the buried urn was taken out.

Immediately afterwards, Dai Li twisted out a portion.

She quickly performed a divination.

but.

Unable to perform divination...

Undeterred, she continued to extract ashes from the body.

Tried again and again, failed again and again.

but.

Without exception, none of them can be divined.

After trying several times, Dai Li paused slightly, realizing she could try a different approach.

She turned her head to look at Leonard.

"It seems our church is currently targeting the Morse Order?"

Why are you asking this?

Leonard looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"It's nothing, it's just divination anyway, let's just chat."

"We are investigating. They seem to have some cooperation with the Aurora Society and the Witch Cult. The Archbishop wants to obtain information about the Aurora Society through them."

Leonard explained.

"How's the progress?"

Dai Li asked casually.

Leonard hesitated for a moment, then said, "I found out some things. They have a plan in Backlund, targeting key members of the Elemental Dawn."

"In addition, they seem to have suffered considerable losses recently, so they have been transferring people to Backlund. Recently, two scroll professors have been transferred to Backlund."

"In addition, they have recently had some dealings with the Aurora Society, but as for the Witch Cult, we haven't found out how they are connected yet."

"This is the part we've tracked down."

He said in a low voice.

Dai Li looked thoughtful, but she made sure to remember it in her heart so as not to forget it.

Afterwards, she performed another divination, but again gained nothing—

"I think we could try seeking help from spiritual beings," said Daly.

"A spiritual being?"

"Yes, some spiritual beings can help with divination, since the essence of divination is seeking help from the spirit world."

She gave an explanation.

Leonard frowned slightly, then relaxed and nodded, saying, "We can give it a try. Shall I go prepare the necessary props for the ceremony?"

"No need, but I need a quieter environment. Could you go and keep watch for me?"

"All right."

Leonard had no choice but to do as he was told.

He stood up, went outside, and near the door, he stood in the shadows and glanced back. He saw Daly with her eyes closed, seemingly communicating with something…

"Old man, what did you just say? You didn't see them die?"

"Yes."

Pales replied, "I didn't see them die with my own eyes because I was in a sealed-off state at the time, almost completely cut off from external senses, but..."

"but?"

"However, I sensed the presence of a great figure, who should be of angelic rank."

Pales said.

Leonard was shocked, then puzzled.

Why didn't you say so then?

"Ha, you were in a state of intense grief at the time, and I couldn't ascertain the other person's attitude, what they had done, or why they said it?"

Leonard held his breath and couldn't get up.

Think about it, really.

Damn it.

At the time, he was only thinking about the captain and Klein's deaths, and didn't consider the possibility that they might not be dead.

He let out a soft breath.

"Then you can remind me later!"

"It's pointless. Even if they're not dead, they're probably in a state of madness, because the battle should have ended some time ago when they arrived."

Pales explained, "Besides, you've been working hard on that hatred, haven't you?"

"..."

Leonard was speechless.

He has indeed worked very hard during this period, and he is almost finished playing the role of "Nightmare". As long as he accumulates enough merits, he can exchange them for a Sequence 6 potion.

If it were someone else, he would definitely have chosen to remain silent and accumulate experience for a while longer.

If the captain were still here...

He would never want to leave Tingen.

"Whose ashes are those?"

"I don't know, maybe it's theirs, maybe it's someone else's, I can't be sure which side that guy is on."

Pales sighed. "What if they're subordinates of the true Creator, or some kind of evil god organization like the Cult of Spirits?"

Leonard remained silent.

In that case...

Basically, even if Dunn and Klein were still alive, they would have become creations or monsters controlled by humans.

"If that's the case, Ms. Daly knows how heartbroken she would be."

He couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

There's a saying...

the more you hope, the harder you fall.

If Daly has too many unrealistic hopes, she might not be able to handle the truth when she finds out later.

of course.

This is Leonard's one-sided idea.

The next moment, Pales mocked mercilessly.

"What sequence do you think she is? How could a necromancer not have thought of these possibilities? Stop worrying unnecessarily."

Then, he couldn't help but sigh.

"I really regret it!"

"What?"

Leonard didn't get angry when he was mocked.

He is genuinely worried now.

Pales chuckled: "I should play the bad guy more often, that way at least you'd use your brain. You're not as good as you used to be!"

"..."

Leonard's lips twitched slightly.

Old man, that's really disrespectful of you!

Although I haven't been thinking much lately, it's because the things I do don't require much brainpower.

He tried to justify himself.

but.

After calming down, but unable to find a good reason to refute it, I could only remain silent.

But at that moment, Pales suddenly uttered a sound of surprise and doubt.

"strangeness."

"What?"

"Your colleague seems to be in a rather abnormal state."

……

A mysterious palace.

Roy looked at Daly indifferently.

To be honest, he didn't expect that Daly would actually contact him. If he hadn't been researching the abilities of astrologers, he might not have been able to "receive" the call.

"Mr. Hermit, I have obtained some of the information you needed."

After bowing, Daly quickly recounted the information she had received from Leonard, and also mentioned some information she already knew.

Roy pondered for a moment after hearing this.

Two scroll professors?

These should be the people the Church of the Night already knows; there may be more, and even "Sequence 5" is not impossible.

but.

Given previous examples, the Morse Order will certainly be more cautious, and the Hidden Sage has also gleaned some information during his own advancement.

They might run away.

but.

The fact that the Morse Ascetic is mobilizing so many people suggests they're not there for tourism; they must have some other purpose.

Could it be the Harvest Church?

Roy pondered for a moment, then chuckled softly and looked ahead.

"We're even."

"I have one more question. You can give me a price after you hear it."

"That's what Dai Li said quickly."

She was terrified that Roy would send her straight back to reality.

after all.

She is a member of the Church of the Night, and to some extent, most evil gods probably don't want to have anything to do with her.

Roy did not respond.

Daly continued, "I want to know whose ashes are in the two urns in front of me."

To reduce two to one.

If the other party is willing to answer, you can also learn about "Klein's" situation.

She thought to herself.

Roy chuckled softly: "That's two issues."

Dai Li lowered her head.

"The Morse Order is collecting artifacts related to Viscount Rost Green."

"Collect them, obtain two, and you can repay the price for these two problems."

Rost Green?

Daly was puzzled for a moment, then seemed to remember the name.

"I remember he was expelled from Rune."

"Yes."

Roy nodded.

Daisy lowered her head: "I'll try my best to collect it. If I can't find it, is there anything else I can use as a substitute?"

"Capture or kill those two scroll professors."

Roy said.

Dai Li let out a sigh of relief.

This requirement...

She can accept it.

The Morse Order is an evil god organization and an enemy of the church. In addition, the enemy of the other side is the Morse Order, which can be "borrowed" for a short period of time.

but.

She quickly asked, "What if I were to ask about Dunn and Klein's current situation?"

"Kill the leader of the Morse Penitentiary in Backlund, who is a Sequence 4 mystic."

"I'm sorry, I cannot fulfill this condition."

Dai Li remained silent.

Then, she made a decision.

"I'm willing to exchange the previous questions."

"The ashes don't belong to the two people you're looking for."

Roy answered.

Daisy was shocked and quickly asked, "Whose is that?"

"A portion of them belonged to Megoss. Due to the divine descent ritual of the True Creator, she was corrupted by the offspring of the True Creator and is therefore unable to be divined."

"The other part belongs to Ince Zangwell."

What?!

Dai Li's eyes widened, her beautiful face frozen in shock.

Ince Zangwell.

he died?

This……

How is that possible!

If he dies, what about the real Dunn and Klein?

She thought quickly.

Then, her eyes widened slightly.

Could it be that...?

Did someone rescue Dunn and Klein?
