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

Chapter 70 Model Worker of the Evil God Realm

Roy was speechless for a moment.

He remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "I have only one piece of advice: stay away from him and don't contact him. If you absolutely must investigate, you must control your emotions and not show any hostility or concern towards him. Just pretend you saw him by chance while passing by."

Although Zilingus is not a demonic path, and the writhing hunger is a magical item created by the Shepherd's extraordinary characteristics, there's no guarantee that the other party might possess a demonic collection.

In addition, Fors and Hugh are very weak.

The investigators they hired were mostly ordinary people, and they had no chance against Ziringus, who controlled the "wriggling hunger."

Mr. Number 2 spoke in a very serious tone.

Fors thought to himself.

She didn't ask; this was an unspoken rule at the study session.

Explanation comes at a cost.

The atmosphere fell silent once again.

Let's stop here.

Roy tapped his fingers, about to send them back, but Fors raised his hand to signal.

He understood.

He dismissed the clone and Klein, leaving Fors behind.

"Mr. Hermit, I apologize for using your gathering today to publicize the matter of Zilingus."

Fors said.

Roy said calmly, "Don't worry about it."

"Thank you for your generosity!"

Fors rose and bowed, then continued, "I've only managed to collect one page of the diary in the past two days, but I've come into contact with an old man who seems to be an enemy of the Morse Order as well."

Then, she began to materialize her diary.

Roy smiled, but his tone was indifferent: "I understand."

After handing over the diary, she bowed respectfully and said, "Master Hermit, how many pages of the diary do I need to exchange for all the secrets to advancement?"

"At least three more pages are needed."

Roy said casually, "However, I can give you a crucial piece of information in advance."

"Yes! Thank you, great hermit!"

Fors was overjoyed.

A massive flow of information flooded her mind, transforming into a simple sentence.

"Remember, you're just playing a role."

After saying that, everything vanished into a torrent of information.

When Fors opened her eyes, she was already in her bedroom. She stood by the bed and remained motionless for a long time.

Is he just playing a role?

What does that mean?

According to Mr. Hermit, this is still a very crucial message.

Does that mean we shouldn't get addicted to it?

She was lost in thought.

"Unfortunately, only one page of the diary is not enough for the Hermit to explain more. If the Hermit himself could analyze it, it would be much easier to understand."

Fors sighed.

She didn't feel that she was worthy of the hermit's leniency and free introduction.

Mutual exchange and equal transactions.

This is the Hermit's consistent style, and it is what distinguishes him from other evil gods.

Also.

"Mr. Number 2's fighting skills can be learned by himself, and he can also share them with Hugh indirectly. Mr. Number 3's astrological basics are also very useful."

"Praise be to the hermit for leading me into such a mysterious gathering!"

……

at home.

Klein sat at his desk, pondering Mr. Number 2's words.

The other party seemed to know about the shepherd's abilities.

People who come from overseas, have extensive knowledge, and have previously been to Tingen are quite obvious.

He thought of what had happened on the Clover.

A wizard?

Klein paused, taken aback.

Could it be him?

Then he shook his head.

We cannot jump to conclusions; this could be a smokescreen thrown out by Mr. No. 2.

Given the other party's extensive knowledge, it's impossible that he was unaware of the consequences of his words. Of course, it's also possible that the wizard didn't know he was also from Tingen.

Klein thought to himself.

As for Miss Number 1

It's obvious that the other party is connected to Miss Justice. Perhaps tomorrow, he will receive similar feedback from Miss Justice.

Unfortunately, the mysterious hall also had shielding and anti-divination effects. The information and status at the meeting were protected by the information flow, making it impossible for him to accurately divine number 1 and number 2 even above the gray fog.

Otherwise, it would be much simpler.

of course.

Klein wanted to know the identities of the two people, not because he wanted to do anything to them in real life, but simply to avoid accidentally dragging them into a tarot gathering in the future.

after all--

This is one of the Fool's important sources of information.

If someone is attending both the Tarot reading session and the study session, they might discover that some of the Fool's messages highly overlap with those from the study session.

Once or twice, the other party won't suspect anything.

If it happens too often, it's inevitable that you'll slip up.

……

"Unfortunately, Klein had seen this diary. It's likely that Fors obtained it from Justice or Viscount Grelint."

Based on the timeline, this page of notes should be quite late in the book.

It describes some events from the time of Russell the Extraordinary.

but.

Although he had anticipated this, he still couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed when he saw Fors sharing and asking for help from the Tarot meeting at the study session.

Fortunately, he had initially designed the clone to have no face, replacing it with a complete "mosaic", making it impossible for the other party to discover the expression.

Otherwise, Klein would see a face full of schadenfreude and amusement.

This way, there's a chance you'll be exposed.

Roy suppressed his amusement and managed to restrain his laughter.

Just then, a spiritual breeze blew by, and a letter appeared on the table.

He picked it up.

The letter contained only one sentence.

"Okay, write to me if you need help."

Do you need help?

Although the other party is a Sequence 5 and has special extraordinary items, they also have Mr. Azik on their side.

I don't think so, right?

but.

This statement shows that Bernadette took it to heart.

"I still need to prepare for the tarot session tomorrow."

"Busy!"

Roy sighed.

Meeting twice a week, Klein and I are truly the workaholics of the evil god world.

Oh no.

The Hidden Sages were even more diligent than them, cramming the Extraordinary Ones below them with rote learning every day.

These days, even becoming an evil god is incredibly competitive!

……

After a simple breakfast, Roy ascended to the mysterious hall.

He had previously obtained a total of eight complete amethysts, but only made four knowledge talismans, leaving four spare for unforeseen circumstances.

Now it just so happens to come in handy.

of course.

This is just a small experiment—

He bestowed the Filthy Ear upon reality, then actively activated it, and heard the evil roar recorded within it.

This is the roar of the true Creator.

It was full of filth and madness, and even though Roy was spiritually strong, he still couldn't quite handle it.

Fortunately.

Soon the mysterious temple began to work, shielding and stripping away these murmurs and roars.

Roy breathed a sigh of relief.

This thing is terrifyingly effective!

pity.

If the Defiled Ear were a little more intelligent, it would be great if it could change the babbling inside.

That way he could replace the screech of the filthy ear with the useless knowledge and babbling of the hidden sage.

Although both are related to evil gods and are categorized as ramblings, they are fundamentally different.

The former is mere babbling and the roar of evil gods, while the latter is the indoctrination of knowledge.

It's just that the quantity is a bit too large.

but.

It also has remarkable effects now.

Roy just tried to activate it with his spiritual power and found that its amplifying effect on babbling actually makes the other person more sensitive to this type of hearing.

This is also one of the abilities of a listener.

but.

When combined with his own abilities, it creates even more interesting ways to play—

Combine the filthy ears with Mr. Door's ramblings.

The magnified image, combined with Mr. Men's SOS, will surely bring a unique and wonderful experience to the crazy people at the Aurora Club.

If all else fails, he has a backup big one.

A newly made talisman.

It contains terrifying knowledge about what lies beyond the stars.

of course.

He would not use this talisman unless absolutely necessary.

It's too dangerous.

Roy wasn't sure how much pollution it would cause after it was used, and he worried that it might harm himself and others if he wasn't careful.

The reason for making so many different kinds of knowledge talismans is purely to guard against the Aurora Society.

Those lunatics are rather extreme.

Listening to the delirious ramblings of the true creator every day, the middle sequence may have some resistance to Mr. Men's delirious ramblings, and cannot kill him immediately.

Having more methods means having more options for survival.

One chapter was censored yesterday; it shouldn't have been so violent, it's hateful!
