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

Chapter 68 Even 008 Needs to Follow the Rules

Back home, Roy quickly wrote a letter.

of course.

It was in a mysterious hall.

Only by writing it down there is it less likely to be noticed by the other party.

During this time, Roy also used dream divination to obtain the recipe for the assassin's potion and learn about the effects of the dagger.

have to say.

Tyrell's situation is far worse than Tris's.

From beginning to end, Mrs. Sharon offered no help beyond language assistance; her meetings were mostly just about getting him to do tasks—she was essentially a tool.

It's truly tragic.

As for the dagger, it's called the Assassination Dagger, and its effect is—

It can unleash a full-force attack, at which moment physical strength, spiritual intuition, and speed will all be greatly enhanced.

The negative effect is that after using a full-force attack, the body and spirit will be weakened, and if the opponent cannot be assassinated, the person will also be injured to some extent.

After he finished writing, he summoned Nina.

"Give it to Mr. Azik."

"Your letter."

Nina spat out a letter, then swallowed the letter she had just written, and her figure disappeared into thin air.

Roy did not open it immediately, but instead offered it as a sacrifice in the mysterious temple.

Afterwards, his consciousness ascended into the hall, where he opened the envelope to read it.

"Roy, the messenger of the Mysterious Queen, the incantation is—"

"An invisible creature that roams the upper realms, a strange spirit friendly to humans, a messenger exclusively belonging to Bernadette Gustav."

"Note: Contact the Mysterious Queen only if it is important."

After finishing the important matters, Hyde went on and on about his recent situation.

He claimed to have found the perfect extraordinary party.

After that, I will begin preparing for my promotion.

As for Becky, just as planned, he went to a gladiatorial arena and took a job as a gladiator.

It's dangerous, but it's also very profitable.

They had already established themselves in Backlund, and the letter implied that if he ever wanted to go to the dawn, he could find a way to go to Backlund at any time.

of course.

Hyde's suggestion was that he stay in the Steam Church and try to get promoted.

Roy chose to ignore this one.

To get to Backlund through the church, one needs to be promoted to Sequence 6 normally, but even that would take three or four years.

He can't wait.

After a moment's thought, Roy decided not to write in the mysterious temple, but instead returned to reality and gave a brief account of Laneus's situation.

Then.

"An invisible creature that roams the upper realms, a strange spirit friendly to humans, a messenger exclusively belonging to Bernadette Gustav."

After the incantation.

Roy vaguely saw a spiritual being emerge and take the letter from the table.

Normal people can't see it at all. Even those with low-sequence clairvoyant eyes can only see its spiritual shadow, not its true form.

It really does fit its description as an "invisible creature".

"Now all we have to do is wait."

Waiting for the Night Watchers and the Mechanical Heart's follow-up actions.

That guy is getting impatient.

Given the current situation, Roy doesn't believe that a mediocre screenwriter can still calmly hide behind the scenes and orchestrate opportunities.

He will definitely make a move.

If we miss this opportunity, the uncertainties will only increase.

Perhaps the other party used some kind of cover-up to make everyone mistakenly believe that Sirius was only affected by corruption, rather than by the influence of the true creator.

Lancer's actions have undoubtedly made everyone wary once again.

A low-sequence extraordinary being with many characteristics such as anti-divination and active contamination ability is clearly not something that can be simply dismissed as "contamination".

No matter how ruthless someone is, they still have to follow certain rules. They can't always say "this is perfectly reasonable," right?

……

The following day, Roy received news from Klein that Azik had resigned from his teaching position and boarded the train to Enmat Port at noon that day.

In the afternoon, he went to a tailor shop and asked someone to embroider a few more pockets inside his coat.

Under the shop owner's surprised and incomprehensible gaze, the inside of the coat was covered with various embroidered pockets, especially near the cuffs.

The shop owner is quite skilled, so Roy decided to bring another one over tomorrow.

The new coat is too expensive.

It's not like he can't wear it now, and for the time being, even including low-level and not very useful witchcraft, he only knows five or six kinds of witchcraft.

It's far from the point where we need to change our outfits.

After some repairs, he had many more pockets inside.

Especially the cuffs—

This is the easiest place to get things, suitable for hiding some key and commonly used spellcasting materials. He currently has a bottle of "Red Crown Impatiens Powder" and a bottle of "Magnetized Powder" in each of his two sleeves.

Inside the clothing.

There were two "flash grenades" in the two pockets on the left.

On the right, a large pocket contained a "Blazing Grenade," while the other pockets of various sizes held extraordinary items, weapons, and spare spellcasting materials.

Roy was generally satisfied with the improvements to the clothes, and later modified another similar one.

What troubled him was—

How to get started playing the "wizard".

There are no real-world professions to refer to, but stories of "wizards" circulate in both Loen and elsewhere.

Roy's current thought is that he should perhaps play the role of a "wizard" in people's minds.

What does a wizard look like?

Mysterious and wise, but different from witches, she is usually portrayed in a more positive light.

Also.

"Studying witchcraft and developing more spells that can be cast should also be a direction for this role."

Ultimately, the path to unlocking secrets must return to knowledge itself.

Based on Fors's magical demonstration, Roy glimpsed the essence through the mysterious temple, and then deduced many spells by working backward from the source of knowledge, but only two were relatively practical—

"Oil-based technology" uses oily liquids as materials.

Frost magic using saltpeter powder as a material.

Other spells like Electric Shock, Mist, Wind Blade, or Freeze require rather outrageous materials; they either require auxiliary materials of Sequence 6 or higher, or some main materials of Sequence 7.

For example, the freezing technique.

It is more powerful than Frost spell and can be truly used in combat.

Roy deduced that the main ingredient of the "Witch," "the blood of the Black Abyss Demon Fish," possessed the ability to create frost and freeze.

Many fish living in the deep sea possess the power to "manipulate ice," and the Witch Sequence also has the ability to manipulate frost.

This material should be usable.

Secondly, there's the Wind Blade Technique.

The same reason.

As the primary material for Wind-Clad Warriors, the crystallized feathers of the Blue Shadow Falcon certainly possess the power to control the wind.

however.

Even Audrey wouldn't use priceless materials to cast witchcraft, even if the resulting spell might be quite powerful.

of course.

The current Audrey might be...

At most Sequence 8, she wasn't too poor and wasn't that frugal with gold pounds.

Roy packed his things, collected his thoughts and mind, and prepared to ascend to the mysterious hall—

Tonight is the second study session.

"I wonder if Klein got promoted today."

"If he hasn't been promoted yet, I hope he can withstand the drain from my Sequence 7 tomorrow."

After Mr. Azik left, he never saw Klein again and had no way of knowing whether the other had been promoted.

Night falls.

Roy calmly entered the mysterious hall, preparing to begin the mysterious study session at the appointed time.
