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

Chapter 21 Ramblings! Killing the Wizard

Leonard.

"Hey, there's a hidden information flow at the end. I hope Mr. Pales likes it."

Roy smiled.

This is another technique he can use after becoming a combat scholar.

The information stream is hidden under a piece of information and will only be triggered when a certain condition is met, such as being stolen by someone. After being triggered, it will disappear.

He used a technique.

and so.

Pales should have seen his message by now.

Roy's lips curled into a slight smile.

pity.

Intimidating or provoking others will not be well understood.

Back in reality, he sacrificed the raging mask to the mysterious temple, through which he obtained its message.

As Mr. Hyde said.

but.

In addition to the effects Mr. Hyde mentioned, it has another effect—

The extraordinary ability of emotions to influence one's emotions makes it easier to affect and accelerate the process of becoming enraged.

In other words.

It's best not to use it when facing an enemy who can affect your emotions.

Roy bestowed it upon reality, then left the mystical temple and returned to reality.

He is going to visit Azik tomorrow.

……

Tingenhof University.

Outside the library, Roy found Azik.

"Mr. Azik."

"Roy, what brings you here today?"

Azik said, looking into the distance, "Is that your friend?"

The direction he was looking was probably where Hyde was hiding.

"Yes, you've managed to restrain your spirituality?"

Roy said in surprise.

Azik smiled: "I've always been able to, otherwise why didn't you go crazy? But it's true that you weren't very good at controlling yourself before. Come on, let's go for a walk over there."

"it is good."

Roy caught up with him.

Once they reached a secluded spot, he spoke, "Mr. Azik, may I ask what type of ability you possess?"

"Currently, I have regained some of my abilities to control, communicate with spirits, and travel through the spirit world. Of course, I have also found some things, such as this bronze whistle."

Azik took out the summoning whistle. "It can summon an undead messenger."

He understands.

Roy must have found out some information, but it may not be complete or directly relevant, which is why he needs to know about Roy's situation.

After listening to the account, Roy said, "You should know about the situation of us Seekers. The knowledge instilled by the Hidden Sages involves knowledge from other pathways. Now we can be basically certain that your pathway is the Corpse Collector pathway."

"Yes, that's what I think too."

Azik nodded.

He was able to deduce the extraordinary path he belonged to after he activated his memories of the path last time.

"Therefore, your memory loss may be due to a high-sequence ability and its negative effects."

Roy offered a guess.

Azik gripped his cane.

"For example, I recently learned that the Sequence 7 of the Seekers is a wizard, and then I discovered that Sequence 7 is actually the result of the quantitative change of Sequence 8 and Sequence 9 reaching a qualitative change."

"Secondly, based on the revered name of the Hidden Sage, I think this path represents mystery and knowledge."

Roy said, "Higher sequences might also have similar situations."

"The corpse collector represents death in nature."

Azik continued, "Death, the quantitative change of death reaching a qualitative change, perhaps—"

He opened his eyes slightly.

After a few seconds, a smile appeared on Azik's face.

"You guessed right, I've remembered something else."

"Can you share it with me?"

"Can."

Azik said, "I have indeed had many lives, and I must have woken up suddenly somewhere before, just like this time. This is the manifestation of the Corpse Collector Sequence 4, the Undead."

"The Undying One, what an astonishing sequence ability, to actually achieve immortality."

Roy then let out a moment of stunned amazement.

Azik shook his head: "Not dying is not necessarily a good thing. I have experienced a lot, but forgetting the past memories time and time again, and then slowly regaining the past, such a life is not necessarily a happy thing."

He hadn't regained his memory yet, but based on Roy's reminder, he understood his condition.

Azik said, "If we could find things from the past, perhaps we could recover more memories. Unfortunately, even I can't remember where I used to live."

"There's nothing I can do to help with that."

Roy sighed regretfully.

Azik looked at him intently and said, "Your conjectures and speculations have been of great help to me. Thank you for always keeping my affairs in mind."

"I promised to help you search for information, and of course I won't forget."

Roy shook his head, not taking credit.

Azik said, "The wandering spirits around me tell me that your companions are in trouble."

……

"Hyde, you've caused us a lot of trouble at sea. You wanted to kill me, but you didn't realize that I actually wanted to kill you too."

"Cough, Volo, it's you!"

Hyde coughed violently, pulled sunflower pollen from his waist, and shouted in ancient Hermes, "Light!"

Compared to the other sequences, the Wizard's greatest strength lies in—

As long as they understand the principles and incantations, and possess the corresponding extraordinary materials, they can unleash various forms of natural magic.

For example, Hyde is currently using this method—

Lighting technique.

It can emit a blinding orb, used for illumination or to dazzle others.

Volo turned his head quickly.

This spell emits a blinding light, making it impossible for people to see.

But Hyde didn't fully activate the spell. The sunflower pollen in his hand only emitted a faint glow before disappearing into his palm. Only a portion of the sunflower pollen burned and flew away.

He clutched the pollen and fled quickly toward Hoy University, coughing violently as he ran.

At that moment, a figure quickly jumped out from the side.

He took the greatsword and slashed down fiercely from above.

A warrior wearing a hooded robe and a mask covering his face!

Hyde was horrified; the poison had weakened his body.

At that moment, he took out a handful of moonflower powder and shouted in ancient Hermes, "Darkness!"

This time the witchcraft succeeded.

Darkness enveloped the warrior, obscuring his vision, and Hyde used this opportunity to roll away from the greatsword, but the next moment, the warrior swung the greatsword horizontally with both hands.

He looked precisely at Hyde, seemingly unaffected.

Hyde lifted the pendant, a burst of light shone, and he suddenly gained strength, using his hands to prop himself up and narrowly avoid a collision—

If it weren't for the Fighting Scholar sequence and the Courage Pendant, he would have been killed by the greatsword just now.

but.

The Courage Pendant also dispels some of the darkness.

Even if it's just a little, but...

Volo chased after them from the side, and now he jumped onto the top of the wall, assuming a casting posture from above.

"wind!"

The ancient Hermes language came from above.

Volo was holding a bottle, and as the wind blew, the poison powder inside was carried towards him.

Hyde wanted to use witchcraft to counter it.

but.

From the side, warriors brandished their greatswords and charged.

He had no way to cast the spell, so he had to keep running, but the poison powder was already blowing over.

The soldier seemed completely unafraid of the poison.

Wizards are different.

Hyde coughed violently, his body growing increasingly weak, at this moment—

"Restraint!"

Ancient Hermes language was spoken.

Hyde looked up in horror.

A rope flew in like a snake, coated with a special powder.

The rope is made of the binding vines required for the prisoner sequence, and the powder is crimson crystal powder.

Hyde understood.

Once this witchcraft is successfully cast, he will be bound and unable to move, at which point he will have no chance of survival.

He was filled with despair.

but.

At that moment, he saw a purple crystal tossed behind Volo's head.

Volo was at the point of casting a spell, and his spirituality was temporarily unable to contract and protect him. When he saw the crystal flying towards him, his eyes were filled with fear.

next moment.

"Dreaming!"

Hermes spoke in a low voice.

Then, the crystal emitted a burst of purple light.

Fear flashed across his face, and he painfully covered his ears as he fell from the wall.

The rope fell directly to the ground.

Volo writhed in agony, his body contorted in a frenzied groin, his hair and granulation tissue growing wildly, his fingernails scratching bloody marks on his face, as he howled in agony.

The soldier turned around, his face filled with deep terror, and he stood there stunned for a long time, forgetting to chase after Hyde.

The next moment, he saw Roy climb over the wall and shoot the mad wizard in the forehead.

The soldier turned and ran, not pursuing Hyde any further.

Roy chased for a while, but was outmaneuvered and lost by the other party.
