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

Chapter 54 Emperor Roselle was truly a wise man

"You should rest well during this time; I can tell you haven't fully recovered yet."

Old Ryan said.

Roy said, "But that extraordinary property that's been tainted..."

"You may not understand the Listeners. The Listeners of the Aurora Society suffer daily torment from the true Creator. Generally speaking, they do not live more than a few years unless they become a higher sequence."

Old Ryan explained, "This kind of contamination is common. The fact that Sirius's was so severe may be related to the previous death of all the Goldpowder Party members, which further aggravated the contamination and madness in his extraordinary traits, even pleasing the true creator."

"What do you mean?"

Roy's heart skipped a beat; he had a vague sense of foreboding.

"According to Mr. Karl's previous statement, and the knowledge I later received, potions made with extraordinary properties inherently contain remnants of the previous spirit, so they must be digested to avoid going insane, but the Listener..."

The listener is the embodiment of madness!

Roy realized what the problem was.

The unique nature of the Listener and the Aurora Society prevented him from directing the pollution toward terrifying and destructive events such as "divinity" or "the descent of the true creator."

otherwise.

Either he's under investigation, or he's killed by a meteorite by an enraged screenwriter—

It's not like the other party hasn't done that kind of thing before.

Knowing he couldn't achieve his goal, he had to settle for second best.

"Should we still look for the thief?"

"Find it! Of course we'll find it."

Old Ryan's face was serious. "That guy has been tainted by the Listener's extraordinary properties. He's either been corrupted by them or he's not right in the first place. We have to find him."

Roy nodded slightly.

That's fine.

At least the thieves' trail can lead them to Lanluus, and it's believed that Klein will also actively push the Night Watchers to investigate Lanluus.

Same way.

only--

Unfortunately, it's impossible to get everyone to target that guy right away.

Roy left the basement, having come to terms with things and feeling relieved.

What kind of place is Tingen?

The opponent's home field.

Guiding and hypnotizing are strengths of the audience approach, and it is inherently difficult for him to use information to guide a Sequence 5 senior extraordinary person who has mastered the script.

even.

This incident may not necessarily be due to the other party's own will.

As a sealed artifact starting with "0", its negative effects are definitely not insignificant.

Although he has completely forgotten about it in reality.

This is the protection the mysterious temple provides for him.

Even old Ryan couldn't be persuaded, so Roy stopped trying to convince Russell and Carl. They were of higher rank and knew more about the world, so they understood how difficult it was to achieve things like divine intervention or offspring of the Creator.

There are too many factors that are unpredictable and inexplicable.

All Roy can do is continue to improve himself.

He then went to a fighting club.

but.

Inside the club, Roy unexpectedly saw someone—

klein.

Upon seeing Roy, Klein and Gawain, who were exchanging pleasantries, both brightened up and exclaimed in unison, "Excuse me, I have an important friend..."

"It's alright, it's perfect."

Gao Wen smiled gently.

Then, they both turned their heads, raised their hands, and called out to Roy, "Roy, over here!"

Ok?

They looked at each other, feeling a little awkward but also somewhat surprised.

"You know Roy too?"

"Yes, we went to the same university, although not in the same major, but we knew each other."

"Klein said."

Roy smiled and walked towards them: "How come you all know each other?"

"I studied under Mr. Gao Wen before, but Mr. Gao Wen thought I should improve my physique and strength first before talking about technical things, so I only recently started learning techniques."

Klein explained it simply.

Gao Wenze said, "He's alright. Although he doesn't have much of a foundation, he's willing to learn and is progressing very quickly."

He paused abruptly at this point.

He looked closely at Klein, then at Roy, and remained silent after a moment of contemplation.

Roy knew...

Gao Wen has probably already figured it out.

Klein is very likely also an extraordinary being, and may belong to one of the two major churches—

It's impossible for the other person to be in the same church as Roy.

Roy and Gawain maintained their tacit understanding, and then Gawain smiled and said, "Since you are old classmates, why don't you catch up first? I just need to study my own work."

"it is good."

"What is Mr. Gawain researching?"

Klein, however, was somewhat curious.

Roy rubbed his fingers together, glancing at Gawain without making a sound.

Gawain smiled and said, "It's nothing, just some fighting techniques. Roy and Becky have been exploring how to make fighting useful again in the new era, and I've only just joined this topic, so I need to figure it out and research it."

"This is a great idea. I think it's worth studying in depth. For example, we could summarize some simple but practical self-defense techniques. We don't need to teach people how to kill enemies, but rather how to use their physical strength and how to escape..."

Klein raised an eyebrow and quickly offered his idea.

Truly mastering fighting skills and the art of killing requires a very long time and persistent practice; ordinary extraordinary individuals simply don't have that much free time.

Quick, simple, and practical.

This should be the demand of most extraordinary individuals for combat skills.

Gawain smiled and said, "Yes, we have some preliminary ideas. We should be able to come up with a training program and theoretical summary within half a month to a month. If Mr. Klein is interested, he can participate in the training and try it out."

"Of course I would, it would be my honor!"

……

After saying goodbye to Gawain, Roy and Klein sat down at the coffee shop where they had met Mr. Heide earlier, and each ordered coffee and some desserts.

"Klein, how did things go yesterday?"

"It didn't go very smoothly, but we managed to complete it successfully in the end, and—"

Klein raised his eyes without changing his expression. "I feel like I've become a real fortune teller, and I even killed a clown during a mission. Perhaps in the near future, you'll be calling me Mr. Clown Klein."

"Congratulations."

Roy smiled.

Klein pondered for a moment, and then it dawned on him—

The other party knows how to play the role!

He was somewhat surprised, but decided to continue, "Do you know the secret of the potion?"

"I know, but I can't say."

Roy answered.

Klein seemed to be deep in thought.

This is similar to Ms. Daly's situation.

A thought struck him, and he couldn't help but ask, "How did you know?"

"The secrets of potions can be found. I discovered them by summarizing some details and the successful experiences of my predecessors. In the words of Emperor Roselle, I simply stood on the shoulders of giants."

Roy sighed.

Klein paused for two seconds, then nodded in agreement: "Emperor Roselle was truly a wise man."

"I think so too. He always has many amazing and wise remarks. I think he is a figure worth studying in depth. It's a pity that no one can understand his notes."

Roy continued to sigh.

Klein nodded repeatedly, trying his best to hide the strangeness in his expression.

but.

Roy did offer a possible approach.

Previous experience.

He could excuse himself by saying it was based on experience from Ms. Daly, Leonard, and Roy.

Do not!

Not only that, we should also discuss this with others.

Because after submitting the application for promotion to Sequence 8, the fact that he had mastered the acting method would have to be exposed, and he would most likely face a "ban" from above afterward.
