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

Chapter 79 The Fool: What Makes a Good Subordinate?

"Mr. Hermit, what do you think their purpose is?"

Audrey tried her best to remain calm.

Alger was also very curious.

Klein sat in his chair, pondering possible developments, but he felt that Roy himself probably didn't have the answer either.

Those who seek secrets are indeed very knowledgeable, but they are not prophetic.

With limited information, even guessing is difficult.

Roy said, "I'm sorry, I don't know much about the situation in Backlund, so I can't offer any useful guesses or help."

"All right."

Audrey leaned back regretfully.

She made a decision in secret—

After returning, keep a close eye on Backlund's condition. If necessary, you can seek help from the hermit in private.

of course.

She wanted to ask the Fool for help, but considering his previous answers, repeatedly asking for his help might annoy him...

"It's not feasible to send a pirate ashore alone to buy things or create widespread chaos. Perhaps he'll assassinate someone important or sabotage something."

"Of course, with sufficient information, the answer might be clearer."

Roy said.

After listening, Alger fell into deep thought, then looked at Audrey—

Those who are worth assassinating in Backlund are either prominent figures among the extraordinary or powerful individuals.

If we're just guessing, the latter is more likely.

It is also possible that both are present.

"Miss Justice, could you please help me investigate?"

"Of course, as I said before, I will assist you."

Audrey calmed down and then bowed to Roy. "Thank you, Hermit. Your reminder may have saved us from disaster."

"It's nothing, I just offered some minor thoughts, and I mainly want to thank Mr. Fool for providing such a gathering."

Roy bowed to the Fool, but his gaze remained fixed on the ground.

Klein remained seated, his expression unchanged, but inwardly he was filled with admiration.

What makes a good subordinate?

As expected of a member of Mechanical Heart!

He chuckled softly.

The Hanged Man and Justice quickly followed suit and thanked them. Little Sun looked bewildered, but still followed suit and bowed.

Alger gave Roy a deep look.

This hermit's style is somewhat similar to that of some people in the power structure or the orthodox church.

At the same time, the hermit was also very intelligent and learned.

Knowledge, the brain.

Is the other party a member of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom?

He secretly speculated.

Then, Alger straightened his thoughts—

My goal is not the identity or information of the hermit, but to obtain the help of the fool!

He bowed again, hoping for a response from Mr. Fool.

After the Fool nodded slightly, Alger, the "Hanged Man," humbly said:

"Reverend Fool, if I have confirmed the effects and specific purpose of his magical item, may I inform you through a ritual?"

Roy looked up.

The other party would prefer that the "Fool's" followers intervene, but unfortunately, this is unlikely.

He quickly gathered his thoughts, feeling a surge of joy.

"Can."

Under the gaze of the four, the Fool responded calmly.

Then he looked at the others.

"You are the same."

"Yes, Mr. Fool."

After everyone expressed their sincere gratitude, the "Hanged Man" couldn't wait to report on his recent progress in collecting the diary entries.

Roy guessed that his actions were more about demonstrating his own value.

Mr. Hanged Man sensed danger!

After the Hanged Man and Justice finished negotiating the deal on the "Seven-Colored Dragon Lizard," it came time for Klein to obtain the "Sacrifice Ritual."

Roy pricked up his ears, listening intently to the mysterious knowledge of Silver City.

Aside from the initial performance, he didn't intervene in their conversations until everyone had finished.

Roy then said, "I have a request."

"Gather information about Lanius. Be careful, he is very dangerous, so just gather his location information."

The other three all looked at Roy.

Extremely dangerous?

What kind of person could be described as "extremely dangerous" by the Hermit?

Audrey couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Hermit, do you have more complete information?"

"He is a con artist, suspected of being a thief, but he has a good relationship with the Aurora Society. The danger he poses may come from the true creator."

Although Klein did not make a move, he was deeply moved—

Is this the other party's "question"?

When Roy arrived at the Tarot Club, his first request was to track down Laneus.

Audrey and Alger looked at the Fool, hoping he could provide an answer or hint, but the Fool seemed uninterested in offering any.

Klein pondered for a moment, then smiled faintly and said, "Divinity."

This is the result of his recent investigation.

of course.

The reason we were able to find out was thanks to Roy injuring Lanius earlier, which gave him three bottles of blood.

Otherwise, even in the gray fog, one might not be able to obtain accurate information.

"Are you saying that he possesses the divinity of a fallen creator?"

Alger was speechless, and could barely speak coherently.

Divinity!

Even if it's just a little bit, it's still amazing enough.

"Sun" was first surprised, then deeply disappointed.

The city of Silver worships the Creator.

however.

He would rather turn his attention to the outside world, to a conman, than help the residents of Silver City.

He lowered his head in disappointment, but quickly regained his spirits—

Do not!

He himself, along with Mr. Fool, and many extraordinary individuals from outside the Tarot Society.

"Dear Mr. Fool, do you know where he is?"

Audrey pressed for an answer.

A follower of an evil god.

She is so curious.

Roy remained silent, secretly giving a thumbs up in his heart.

Well done!

That way, I won't have to think about what price to pay.

Klein chuckled softly, "Backlund."

This was the only result he obtained from the divination; no further results could be revealed.

Upon hearing this, Audrey completely lost her composure as an audience member—

Backlund again?

Good heavens!

What's wrong with Backlund? First, there was the hurricane general who came ashore, and now he's an extraordinary being who has received the attention of the true Creator and even been bestowed with divinity.

At that moment, Klein above sighed softly.

"The factory brought prosperity, but it also became a breeding ground for evil gods."

A breeding ground for evil gods?

Is this the root and deep-seated secret of Backlund's chaos?

Audrey was deeply shocked.

Alger, however, had another idea.

Based on current clues, the writhing hunger is suspected to be a Shepherd sequence, which in turn belongs to the Mystic pathway.

The Secret Prayer People are controlled by the Aurora Society...

Could it be that Zillinger is employed by the Aurora Society?

in this way--

What kind of evil plans does the Aurora Society have in Backlund?

He couldn't help but gasp.

Obviously.

He wasn't the only one who thought of this; Audrey's inability to calm down showed that her thoughts were extremely chaotic.

Roy's expression was more complicated.

He wanted to laugh, but he knew he couldn't laugh out loud at that moment, and he had to control his emotions.

This is so painful!

He looked at the other people, trying to distract himself.

With his voyeuristic vision, Roy could clearly see Audrey's chaotic emotions, as well as Alger's shock and contemplation.

As for the little sun.

Depression or hyperactivity?

Strange and interesting mood changes.

It's a pity that fools can't bear to watch, otherwise their emotional fluctuations would certainly be even more spectacular.

Do not!

Don't get carried away by success.

Above the gray fog, Klein possessed a powerful spiritual vision ability, allowing him to see the emotional changes of his celestial body even more clearly than his clairvoyant eye.

My happiness is entirely under the other person's nose.

Just then, a detached yet authoritative voice came from above.

Let's stop here.
