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

Chapter 63 Advancement, Wizard!

After a while, Roy walked upstairs, exhausted, his face full of fatigue.

"Give."

"What?"

Suna was stunned for a moment, then looked down and saw that it was an amethyst.

The moment she received it, she sensed something different.

This amethyst exudes a strong spirituality, with a faint symbol resembling an "eye" in the center of the crystal.

This is a symbolic representation of the voyeur.

Knowledge Charm!

She swallowed.

"That's it?"

"All fifteen amethyst crystals were lost, and only this one was successful. If the failure rate were any higher, do you think I could afford to do it?"

Roy rolled his eyes.

A single amethyst costs about 10 sous, so fifteen amethysts would cost 7 gold pounds and 10 sous.

In the Heart of the Machines, even the most extraordinary individuals only earn 7 gold pounds per week.

This is the price he calculated to be relatively reasonable.

In comparison, even without considering time and labor costs, the cost of a regular talisman is only a few soles.

Suna stuck out her tongue.

"Thank you for your hard work. I will pass this talisman on to Mr. Lasse."

"Okay, I'll go back and rest first, then I'll go to the fighting club. You can find me there if you want."

Roy said.

Suna nodded slightly.

……

Back home, Roy retrieved the Wizard's Extraordinary Aspect from the Mysterious Temple.

"80 ml of purified water."

"Seven-petaled purple-veined fairy flower".

"Amethyst powder."

"5 ml of refreshing essential oil".

After waiting a moment, he activated the Wizard's Extraordinary Ability.

The moment the extraordinary properties were added, the pot made a sizzling sound, as if it had instantly boiled, and the crystal powder and purple-veined fairy flower inside were quickly dissolved.

A bowl of dark purple liquid floated in the pot.

Roy poured it into a glass.

After staring at it for two seconds, he locked the doors and windows to eliminate any distractions, and then drank it all in his small bedroom.

The cold potion slid down my throat.

It sometimes burns the esophagus like strong liquor, sometimes feels as cold as frost, and sometimes bursts and irritates the stomach like bubbles.

Roy was experiencing a variety of strange sensations.

At that moment, he felt a stinging pain in his eyes, and then—

Looking in the mirror, Roy saw that the veins on his forehead were bulging and even had a hint of purple, his eyes were blood red, and his head was sometimes throbbing and sometimes throbbing with pain.

next moment.

"A wizard's spells, relying on materials from various sources, always involve three steps—"

"First, concentrate your spirituality."

"Second, you can visualize the spell symbols in your mind, or you can recite the incantation aloud instead."

"Third, use materials to cast the spell."

"The wizard's incantations are best written in Ancient Hermes, Ancient Hermes..."

The ruthless and indifferent voice of the hidden sage echoed in my ears.

This is knowledge that is inherently beneficial.

but.

Even the best knowledge can't withstand being bombarded with it all at once, let alone when the voice of the hidden sage is accompanied by illusory murmurs, driving one almost to madness.

Can't hold on any longer?

That would mean either your head explodes or you go completely insane.

This indoctrination and rambling was more intense than ever before.

The ethereal yet real voice echoed in my ears.

Roy gritted his teeth, restrained his spirituality, and tried to enter a meditative state to resist the interference and influence of the ramblings, while splashing cold water on his face.

An unknown amount of time passed.

He felt the incoherent ramblings and indoctrination gradually disappear, and the pain slowly subsided. When he looked up, he saw that the bloodshot eyes had not yet faded, and there were still purple lines on his forehead.

Roy rubbed his face with his hand.

terrible!

Just now, he almost thought he was going to lose control.

This is assuming it is fully digested.

If you take the potion without digesting it properly, it's almost certainly a matter of life and death.

Furthermore, the pain and madness I just experienced are truly indescribable. How did the other voyeurs endure it?

Fortunately, I have my own mysterious palace.

Roy couldn't help but feel secretly relieved.

The suffering he endured was insignificant compared to that of other normal voyeurs.

The hidden sage is truly the lifelong enemy of the seeker of secrets!

He lay in bed and rested for a while.

About half an hour later, Roy sat up and ascended into the mysterious hall.

First of all—

Its own spirituality is stronger and its control is more refined.

then.

Roy opened the star chart, which showed even more stars. He still couldn't tell who each star represented, but he could vaguely sense the other person's "good or evil" inclinations.

"A huge improvement!"

"At least we can filter out a group of people through bias."

He smiled slightly with satisfaction.

Then, I tried several other abilities—

The clones can be made more realistic.

Alternatively, if the body is still covered by "mosaic" as it is now, the spiritual loss is significantly less.

In addition, not counting smaller ones, the study group can only last for a maximum of six.

The prerequisite is that the other party is all "Sequence 9".

If there are multiple sequences 8 and 7, the consumption will increase accordingly. So, in terms of calculation, sequences 7 to 9 can probably support four people.

Two more spots are available.

Roy doesn't intend to pull Leonard.

One reason is the presence of Parles, which forces him to be cautious when contacting Leonard to avoid revealing his intentions.

Another point is that Leonard is different from Klein.

He was a true Night Watcher, unlike Klein who had a flexible sense of identity.

not to mention.

He is still a Sequence 7.

As for Frank—

Roy thought about it for a long time and finally decided to move Frank back a bit.

This thing is too dangerous!

Before the modifications are completed, let's have a private discussion first.

"Next, we can appropriately reach out to new targets and select suitable members to join the study group."

After that, Roy went to look around the bookshelves.

A few more books have been added.

Most of it was a jumbled mess of knowledge, disjointed and lacking any coherent structure, but one book in particular is very useful to him now.

An Introduction to Witchcraft

Roy picked it up and absorbed and digested it.

Then he understood.

This is what the Hidden Sage initially instilled, only received in greater detail and in more comprehensive form in the Mystic Hall.

After absorbing it, he quickly digested and understood it.

Afterwards, Roy created four knowledge charms filled with the Hidden Sage's infusion, just in case.

……

Roy left the mysterious temple.

Although his spirituality has improved considerably, he is not in good condition right now and needs to rest for a while.

He had previously said he wanted to go to a fighting club.

and so.

We must set off now.

In addition, he needed Gao Wen to help him purchase some unimportant materials.

These materials don't involve promotions, so a mediocre screenwriter probably wouldn't target them.

Roy had learned witchcraft during the time of the Sleuths, but those spells were very simple, such as weeding.

It requires powder from tumbleweed and singing sunflower. By combining these two materials with spiritual means to draw upon the power of nature, a warm breeze can be created that causes a plant to lose its vitality and wither.

These types of spells have no real combat ability and are mostly for auxiliary purposes.

Roy basically only came into contact with and learned about them, but never had any intention of using them.

The book "An Introduction to Witchcraft" mentions three more witchcraft techniques.

These three are different.

Exorcism, fire magic, force field.

All three spells are very useful, and he must master them all.

The first one requires sunflower powder.

The second method requires red crown impatiens powder.

The better the material, the stronger the combustion effect.

The third one is rather peculiar.

It requires magnetized powder that possesses magnetic properties.

It's relatively easy to find in the factory area.

Thanks to the mysterious temple, Roy didn't need to spend extra time studying existing witchcraft; he could master it naturally simply by learning and digesting it.

As long as the materials are available, he can use them directly.

For wizards, the most troublesome problem is actually carrying it.

"Maybe I should buy a new coat."

"Let's go to the fighting club first."
