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

Chapter 43 The Mysterious Study Session Begins

Roy strolled around in front of the stall.

The main material he needed was one item—

Purple-veined Elf Flower.

The rest are all easy to obtain.

He had already seen a flower shop on his way here.

Back at the flower shop, the purple flowers were particularly eye-catching, but their purple areas were all quite large, while the Purple-veined Fairy Flower had purple veins on a white background.

Do you sell fairy flowers here?

Roy did not head straight for the Purple-Veined Elf Flower.

The female shop owner nodded: "Yes, we have Fairy Flowers, Pure White Fairy Flowers, and Purple-veined Fairy Flowers."

"Can I take a look?"

"Can."

She took three potted plants from under the table.

From left to right, they are Fairy Flower, Pure White Fairy Flower, and Purple-veined Fairy Flower.

Each flower has three to four petals.

"What's the price? A friend of mine really likes fairy flowers."

Roy said.

The female shop owner smiled knowingly and said, "The fairy flowers are indeed very beautiful, and the fragrance is very fresh and elegant. The ordinary fairy flowers with pale yellow patterns and stamens are the cheapest. The pure white fairy flowers and purple-veined fairy flowers are only sold as flowers, not as whole plants."

"Alright then, let's start with a regular fairy flower."

Roy continued, "You should be selling here all the time, right? If I ever want to buy something later, could I come here to buy flowers with stems? I hope you understand that flowers with stems last longer."

"I've been setting up my stall here, you're welcome to come anytime. I really envy your friend; you're quite the romantic gentleman."

The female shop owner covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

Roy coughed lightly and said, "It hasn't come to that yet."

"A gentleman as handsome, charming, and romantic as you is sure to succeed. I hope to see you again next time."

"I hope so."

Roy smiled slightly, then paid the money and left with the pot of fairy flowers.

The female shop owner couldn't help but sigh softly, watching the man's departing figure with envy in her eyes.

……

"Did you just buy a live one?"

"Yes, if we plant them at home, we might be able to pick the petals and sell them for money later."

Roy laughed.

Lamer shook his head: "Pure white and purple-striped flowers are the ones that make money. Your ordinary elven flower will only earn you a few soles at most, and you'll have to take good care of it. It's not worth it."

"The flowers are quite pretty. Having a few pots of them can lift your spirits and help you relieve stress."

Roy didn't care much.

Lamer nodded gently: "That's true. Such a beautiful flower makes me feel good. You can put it in the shop and have Miss Suna take care of it for you. She's very good at growing flowers."

Back at the bar, Roy received his weekly paycheck.

10 pounds.

Including his previous savings and what he had looted from the assassin, he now had more than 55 pounds in savings, which was quite good.

but.

Compared to the amount of pounds needed for promotion, he was extremely poor. Fortunately, he had a lot of recipes, which he could exchange for some pounds after leaving the church.

Roy sighed.

"Is that potted fairy flower yours?"

"Yes, it's not expensive, and it looks quite nice too."

Roy temporarily placed the flowers on the counter where they could get some sunlight.

Suna smiled and said, "Why don't you keep it at the shop? I'll take care of it for you."

"Uh, isn't this a bad idea?"

Roy hesitated for a moment.

While reading the book, Suna said, "What's wrong with that? I'm usually quite free. Besides, the flowers are so pretty, just consider it a loan to me."

The fairy flower is indeed beautiful.

The pale yellow patterns give it a delicate and elegant look, and its fragrance is pleasant but not overpowering. If it weren't so troublesome, Roy would have liked to grow several more pots.

Seeing that Su Na loved it so much, he couldn't refuse.

"Then I'll trouble you. Let me buy you a drink."

"I like coffee."

Suna smiled slightly.

"immediately!"

Roy responded with a smile.

Lamer winked and silently said, "I told you, you can let Suna raise it."

Roy gave him a speechless look.

As he stepped outside, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

Suna is very good-looking and has shown interest in me.

In his previous life, Roy would have pursued her without hesitation, but this is a mysterious world, shrouded in madness and apocalyptic crisis, even in Tingen it is fraught with danger.

Even with the mysterious temple, he couldn't guarantee his own safety, let alone that of others.

Then, Roy couldn't help but think of what the "monster" had said.

Chaos, flesh and blood, death.

Flesh and blood may represent flesh magic, an extraordinary ability that the Rose Bishop excels at, which brought chaos and death to Tingen.

This is the easiest answer to interpret.

Roy was pondering—

Admisor saw these things in him, which meant that this matter might be related to him, but not so much to Klein.

Is the aurora coming for their steam church?

Or.

This is the direction the mediocre screenwriter is trying to steer the narrative in.

Roy was heavy-hearted.

They took a few cups of coffee back with them, and while there were fewer people around, they sat down and chatted for an entire afternoon.

During the conversation, Suna asked him what he had been doing lately, and Roy replied that he had been trying to become a "scholar of martial arts".

Hopefully they will understand their implication.

As evening approached, the number of customers increased, and everyone became busy, while Roy went home after get off work.

At 7 p.m., he ascended to the mysterious hall, connected with the purple star points through the mysterious hall, and transmitted a stream of information.

"Preparing for the study session."

……

Inside a house in Backlund.

"Preparing for the study session."

Lying on the sofa, Fors, who seemed to be conceiving ideas, suddenly sat up and walked towards her room.

This is the first study session held by the Hermit!

She can't afford to lose face.

……

Preparing for the study session.

A piece of information suddenly appeared in my mind.

The Hermit is truly powerful!

Klein sighed inwardly.

Compared to him, he, the "fool," appeared weak and incompetent.

Fortunately, they don't know about justice.

"As a fool, this is my first time attending someone else's study session. Hehe, the hermit probably doesn't know I'm a fool, otherwise he might not even have seen me."

"certainly."

"It also includes the fact that he already knows, but isn't too afraid of me, since I'm a fake evil god, while the other party is the real deal."

Klein tidied up the room.

As 7 p.m. approached, he suppressed his spirituality, preparing to be pulled into the mysterious hall.

After a moment, the books and desks around him transformed into chaotic yet orderly information and numerology, which swept him up like a torrent or a whirlpool.

The next second, a vast expanse of purple appeared before Klein's eyes.

Immediately following.

He opened his eyes and saw the familiar place.

A hall filled with bookshelves.

Good evening, esteemed Hermit.

A short boy greeted him.

Klein looked over.

The other person was enveloped in a stream of information, obscuring their appearance and allowing only a vague outline to be seen; their voice showed no signs of being masked.

On the other side was a woman with long hair and a slender figure.

"Mr. Hermit, I didn't gather any information this time."

"It's alright. Today is an exchange. I'll only provide the platform and won't get involved. You just need to communicate with each other."

Roy switched to his larger size and responded indifferently to Fors.

Klein was also observing Fors.

information?

He pondered for a moment, and then he understood—

As a hermit, the other person is doing something similar to him.

To lie in wait and gather information.

The difference is that the other party's goal is to deal with the enemy, while he doesn't yet know what his goal is.

Klein chuckled inwardly, then bowed slightly.

"You are so generous and kind, thank you for your help."
