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

Chapter 22 Wizard's Extraordinary Traits, Poison Powder Bottle

Roy, panting heavily, stopped at the intersection to catch his breath.

"Should I make a move?"

Azik stepped out from the side.

Roy took a few breaths and shook his head, saying, "You didn't make a move before because you didn't want to expose yourself, but I know who the other party is. Even if he tells me later at the Steam Church, I'm not afraid of him informing on me."

Yes.

He recognized the other person.

of course.

Not by appearance, but by the state of their astral body, mental body, and ethereal body, as well as one of their little habits—

The soldier's right wrist is not in good condition.

and so.

Some of their movements and techniques will be different from those of normal soldiers.

There is one that exactly meets the criteria.

He is Becky!

Roy had mixed feelings.

Becky diligently taught him fighting skills, and she herself may not be a member of the Morse Order; she may have made some kind of deal.

He walked back.

Hyde lay on the ground, unconscious.

Roy walked over.

"Mr. Azik, how is he?"

"He's been poisoned and is unconscious, but the poison only makes him sick; usually, sending him to the hospital is enough. But now we can look for an antidote."

"it is good."

Roy hesitated for a moment, then looked at the corpse again.

Azik waved his hand, and several spirits appeared, taking all the valuables from the other person's body.

An extraordinary feature.

A medicine bottle.

A bag, and several extraordinary materials.

He rummaged through the bag and then took out a small bag.

"This should be the antidote."

"What's the basis for that?"

Roy was curious.

Azik said, "There happens to be a spirit that can identify medicinal herbs, and that extraordinary item can emit poisonous powder, but it is disordered, so even with the help of witchcraft, one can still be poisoned. Therefore, it is common practice to keep some antidotes on hand."

Roy took the medicine packet, opened it, and saw that there were about three pills inside.

He fed Hyde a pill.

Through the Eye of the Secret in Sequence 8, Roy saw that Hyde's ethereal body was improving.

The correct antidote.

Roy couldn't help but feel envious—

It's so convenient to be able to directly command spirits!

However, since the other party was an angel, he was able to command these spirits easily and freely. If it were a normal gravedigger or psychic, it would be impossible for him to do this.

Azik walked up to the body.

"His spirit was completely mad and broken, and he was unable to receive messages through psychic means."

"I reassembled the indoctrination and ramblings of the hidden sage into a knowledge talisman for the Seeker. I tried more than ten times, and only succeeded this time."

Roy looked pained.

Azik pondered for a moment, then nodded: "It's very useful against the Secret Seeker Sequence. Besides, you're very talented; most people wouldn't dare to try this."

Roy smiled sheepishly.

The more you explain, the more mistakes you make.

He accepted the spoils.

There were some materials Roy had never seen before, but he could vaguely tell that most of them were materials used for casting spells.

but.

The most valuable part is the bottle and its extraordinary characteristics—

Wizard's extraordinary characteristics.

Roy put it in his pocket, feeling a surge of excitement.

This means he has already secured the main materials; all he needs to do next is collect the auxiliary materials, which are usually easier to obtain.

As for the potion recipe, he can obtain it from the Dawn of Elements, so that's not a problem either.

"Mr. Azik, what power does the bottle possess?"

"It can release a poisonous powder that causes illness, but the downside is that you will also be poisoned, so it needs to be used in conjunction with other methods."

Azik said.

Then, he glanced at Hyde and said, "He's about to wake up. I'll leave now. You can come find me if you need anything."

"Thank you, Mr. Azik."

Roy nodded.

Although Azik didn't make a move, his presence on the sidelines provided significant protection.

If he couldn't ambush and assassinate them, Azik could at least ensure their safety.

That's why he came to university.

After Azik left, Hyde struggled to his feet, panting heavily.

Seeing Roy counting his spoils, he weakly stood up: "Thank you, you saved me!"

"We agreed to hunt together, and I will definitely help. It's a pity that the Knowledge Charm I painstakingly created was a crystal charm that I tried more than ten times before I succeeded."

Roy was heartbroken.

Hyde suddenly realized.

Knowledge Charm.

These are talismans that only those who have studied them can learn, but they are very rare and expensive, so generally no one would bother to make them.

Roy actually created a knowledge talisman.

Then, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What knowledge did you record?"

"I concealed the sage's ramblings, and I mixed and combined many passages to make it seem even more insane."

"..."

Hyde opened his mouth, then finally exclaimed sincerely, "You're a genius!"

Roy shrugged.

Then he said, "Someone might be coming over soon. Let's hurry and get to a safe place to talk about the spoils."

"No need, the spoils are yours."

Hyde bent down and picked up the rope.

"Let's talk about it later."

……

A while later, two people hurried over from the street.

"Ms. Daly, this is the territory of the Mechanical Heart, let's hurry."

"We just happened to run into them. Don't rush me, I'm communicating with them."

Dai Li frowned.

After a moment, she shook her head: "The spirit here has never seen a battlefield, and his condition is terrible; his spirit has been completely dismembered."

"It seems there's no other way."

Leonard crouched down and carefully examined the wounds. "One shot was fatal. He must have been ambushed while fighting someone. There were also traces of a greatsword at the scene."

"Judging from the style, it's a fight involving four or more people, so he's probably a wizard. Although all the materials on him have been taken, his clothes are perfect for carrying bottles and jars."

Dai Li explained.

Leonard nodded in deep agreement.

He examined it thoroughly, then squatted down and said, "Could it be the one from the Clover?"

"Perhaps he is one of them."

Daisy frowned as she looked at the gun barrel, the body, and the shattered spirit.

Given this situation, what level of strength does the attacker possess?

Or is it...?

A special and extraordinary item.

"The situation in Tingen is becoming increasingly complex and chaotic. He used to be a martial arts scholar, now he's a wizard..."

Daisy sighed.

Leonard looked around, his sense of urgency growing stronger.

The current situation—

Sequence 8 is indeed not enough.

He must upgrade the sequence as quickly and reasonably as possible.

"Leonard, Klein seems to have recently gone to a fortune teller's club to try being a fortune teller. Maybe you could try that too."

"Yes, I have tried reading poetry in the middle of the night."

He was someone I guided.

Leonard thought to himself.

of course.

He thought so, but in reality, Klein becoming a fortune teller had little to do with him.

"Unfortunately, I don't have much talent for poetry."

Leonard chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"Let's go."

Daly couldn't offer too many hints—

She was bound by her vow, and her subtle reminders were already at their limit.

Leonard pondered silently.

"This news should count too, right? But just to be on the safe side, I need to gather some more information so I can try to exchange it for new poems from that hermit."
