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

Chapter 52 Ince was driven mad by torture.

"Next, the Listener's extraordinary characteristics were transformed into an extraordinary item."

Roy used various descriptions to divine the condition of this extraordinary item.

After confirming that it was harmless, Roy returned to reality and held a ceremony to bring it to the mysterious temple.

Confirmed by information from the mysterious temple—

A filthy ear.

It can inspire ramblings with spirituality and amplify their effects.

The downside is that you have to listen to whispers for a sufficient amount of time each day, otherwise you will be subjected to the most intense delirium the next time you use it.

Roy fell silent.

It can only be said that this is a special and extraordinary item that is the result of a combination of factors, including the Listener sequence and the pollution from the true creator.

This thing is insane, and its negative effects are terrifyingly severe.

Apart from those extraordinary individuals who follow the Mystic Path, no other extraordinary individual could withstand its negative effects.

Fortunately-

It has its own mysterious sanctuary, which can isolate all delusions and store them as useless knowledge.

Also.

You can also input and write in your own babbling to create knowledge talismans, and release them in the form of babbling.

Basically, its side effects are negligible for me.

There's just no way to lend it to anyone else.

Then, another problem arose in front of him.

Should we let the Steam Church know about this extraordinary item?

Roy wasn't worried that Lars and his group would embezzle the extraordinary item, but rather that the item's negative effects were too terrible, and Lars and his group wouldn't allow them to use it.

At that time...

If it were to be mistaken for a sealed artifact with a certain number, Roy would suffer a great loss.

After weighing the options, he decided not to tell the Steam Church, but rather that the Wrath Mask could be revealed at the appropriate time.

The rage mask is incredibly useful.

Both uses greatly enhanced Roy's combat power, and the only side effect was the accumulation of rage, which could be resolved as long as it was released and not allowed to build up to a certain level.

It can be used as a regular extraordinary item.

As for the unclean ear, he placed it in a mysterious hall—

Its obscene words can be recorded as useless ramblings and polluting words, and later used as the content of knowledge incantations.

even.

When needed, some of the contamination can be removed to create items with the ability to contaminate.

Roy had already figured out how to use it.

but.

It would be difficult to formalize the rage mask.

He had 55 pounds on him, which was far beyond Roy's means to buy the rage mask.

To shift the blame to the hermit from before?

Not at all.

Roy shook his head.

The hermit was ultimately killed by Leonard and Palles, and it was difficult for him to ascertain how much of his memories he could extract from him.

He picked up the filthy ear and tried to use divination to find out the potion recipe.

After a moment, a scene appeared before my eyes.

"Listen carefully, the Secret Prayer Formula is..."

"Main ingredients: the brain of the Listening Demon Bird and its jet-black blood."

"Auxiliary materials..."

"Just follow the dosage of the formula. If you're not confident in advancing to Sequence 7, you can stay at Sequence 9 for life, because Sequence 8 is very dangerous."

Sirius's guide is quite nice, isn't he?

Roy was somewhat surprised.

He memorized the recipe—

Although it's not very useful, at least it can increase your inventory.

Roy threw the note in one direction.

Another book appeared over there.

The Hanged Man.

He then summarized the battle.

no doubt.

This situation is another example of "thorough prior preparation".

Flashbang grenade.

arms.

Fighting skills.

There are also spirit owls that I've placed outside.

of course.

Most importantly, I trusted my spiritual intuition and observed my surroundings constantly without any prior preparation, without the slightest negligence.

If it weren't for these things, I would have either died at the hands of the mad Sirius or been assassinated by the hermits.

"As a martial arts scholar, besides strength, the most important thing is observation."

"Observation, adequate preparation, and vigilance are always essential qualities for a martial arts scholar or even a sleuth of extraordinary abilities."

Roy understood.

In that instant, he felt a large portion of his potion being digested.

Before long, I should be able to advance to Sequence 7 and become a wizard.

……

Inside a room under the red chimney.

On the notebook filled with neat handwriting, blobs of black ink completely ruined the aesthetic appeal.

(Many lines have been crossed out.)

"Roy Green's tenacity exceeded Ince's expectations!"

"But it doesn't matter. His actions against the Aurora Society conflict with the Aurora Society's plans. After learning about the situation here, the Aurora Society sent a hermit who will die in an assassination. Ince Zangwell's goal will be achieved."

Ince leaned back in his chair, his pen resting quietly on the table. Soon, he closed his eyes wearily.

The pen began to move rapidly.

"Ince was too tired. He was exhausted from being tormented by the two guys who kept surviving and causing accidents. He fell asleep from exhaustion."

"But what he didn't know was that at that moment, Lanius had a brilliant idea. He would use the influence and corruption of the true creator's offspring to create a special Listener's extraordinary characteristics, a great gift for the Steam Church, so that he could escape from the Steam Church's close search..."

Ince received a spiritual warning, woke up immediately, and upon seeing this scene, hurriedly grabbed his pen and quickly rewrote it.

"But before his plan could be fully implemented, the Night Watchers discovered Sirius's presence and were about to hunt him down. However, Old Neil was being held captive, and the Night Watchers were also on their way to deal with Riel Bieber. They had no choice but to split into two teams and call on the Machine Heart for help."

"It just so happens that all the other spies have gone out, and only Roy Green meets the requirements."

"The unexpected advancement and madness of Sirius will cause heavy losses to the squad, and Roy Green and the others will die in the hermit's assassination attempt."

"Ince's goal can still be achieved."

……

(Many more lines were crossed out.)

"This is unbelievable! Roy Green actually saw the hermit through a telescope and with a low-level clairvoyant eye, and even became suspicious!"

"Moreover, a high-ranking being from the spirit world actually responded to Roy Green's summons and even offered to become Roy's contract messenger."

"Not only that, his powerful spiritual intuition actually sensed the danger in advance. He closed his eyes the moment Sirius opened the door and did not go mad. He can also attack and subdue the enemy without looking directly at them."

"This is very abnormal, but poor Ince had no choice but to accept it. He missed too much information, and the hermit was discovered ahead of time due to the patrols and interference of the spirit beings."

"Sirius was forcibly killed, and his plans are once again facing failure."

Ince picked up his pen again.

"The spirit creature took the Listener's extraordinary properties to find Roy Green, which made it a target for the hermits."

"Roy Green would take a shower immediately after entering the room, and being in a weakened state, he would be killed on the spot by the hermit."

"That makes perfect sense; Ince's goal will definitely be achieved!"

(Another large section has been crossed out.)

The breathing in the room quickened, followed by a jumble of noises revealing a hint of annoyance.

"Unbelievable! Leonard Mitchell is back!"

"Furthermore, the hermit may have been careless; injured and in poor condition, he was killed by Leonard Mitchell!"

"Ince's last hope is gone, but in any case, he won't stop trying, and the story continues."

Inspired by spirituality, he picked up his pen and began to write.

"Fortunately, the divine power of the listener is very weak, and most people will think it is the influence of the listener's sequence, rather than thinking that someone is performing a divine descent ritual."

"They will only track down members of the Aurora Society, not report to Backlund, especially the Steam Church, since they have a Sequence 6 deacon in Tingen and are quite confident in handling things on their own."

"Even Kresta Cecima, who is about to arrive in Tingen, won't care. After all, Tingen already has two Sequence 7s. He believes that the Tingen team can solve the corruption of the true creator, rather than doubting divinity."

"This is a reasonable development."
