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

Chapter 80 Lovia Tiffany

"Adding one more would be too much of a strain."

"but."

"Roy seems to be Sequence 7 already. If he were only Sequence 8, he probably wouldn't have such a heavy spiritual burden."

Klein hadn't paid attention before, but now that he had reached the top of the gray fog, he had a vague sense of it.

Fortunately, I had applied for the Joker Potion in advance, and coincidentally, Mr. Cecima brought Leonard's Potion with him, and also possessed the Joker Potion.

Otherwise, the esteemed fool will make a fool of himself today.

Just imagine...

If the Fool suddenly says "Let's stop here" halfway through a tarot reading, the others will likely have other ideas.

Klein secretly rejoiced.

but.

He has no regrets.

As it turned out, Roy was just as he had imagined; in terms of personality and values, they were kindred spirits.

By bringing him into the Tarot Club, even if we go our separate ways in the future due to the church or other reasons, we can still stay in touch and cooperate, so that our relationship won't be severed.

"Lanius".

Klein frowned.

He always felt that the matter of Lanius was not over so soon, and that there might be turbulent waves hidden beneath the calm surface.

Further investigation is needed regarding his case.

"Go to the fortune-telling club again tomorrow, see Mr. Grassis, and ask if there are any other people who have been scammed like him."

"Through them, we may be able to learn more."

Mrs. Sharon was dealt with, and the enemies they had been dealing with went into hiding, but the mastermind behind it all would never give up.

I hope the captain gets better soon!

Klein sighed inwardly.

……

"The Hermit is truly learned and intelligent. I wonder what order he belongs to."

"That really piques my curiosity!"

Audrey sat at her desk, fiddling with the ornaments, pondering the hermit's analysis—

Zilingus's target might be a big shot, or he might want to sabotage something important.

Perhaps Susie could keep a close eye on this.

"Susie".

"Woof!"

The golden retriever ran in happily.

Audrey lowered her head, hugged it affectionately, and whispered, "Susie, I need to ask you for a favor."

"I hope you can visit my father more often recently and listen to what they're discussing."

She looked at Susie hopefully.

Susie wagged her tail and then vibrated the air, saying, "But I still need to help you contact Fors and the others."

"It's okay, I plan to bring them along and form a private, regular gathering, so you won't have to run errands for me anymore."

"Okay, but I can only relay it. After all, I'm just a dog and don't understand what they're talking about."

"No problem, Susie, please!"

……

At home, Roy twirled his pen, pondered for a moment, and then began to write rapidly.

"Your Majesty, I have learned from a gathering that Lanius has fled to Backlund and is imbued with the divinity of the true creator."

"If you are interested, I hope you will pay attention to this."

He then folded the letter and performed a summoning ritual.

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

A moment later, a gust of wind swept by, and the letters Roy had placed on the table vanished without a trace.

It was taken away.

so good!

And it's free, unlike your own messenger who requires you to listen to stories.

Roy sighed inwardly.

Then, after a moment's thought, he recited it again.

"A spirit wandering in nothingness."

"A friendly person with whom you can communicate."

"A messenger exclusively for Green Rost".

A short while later, Nina emerged from the twisted flames, looked around, and then fixed her eyes on Roy.

After a few seconds, she said softly, "A story."

"I don't know many stories, but could some mysterious rumors or tidbits work?"

"Can."

She answered in Old Fusak.

Roy paused for a moment, then asked, "Are you interested in the story of Emperor Roselle?"

He chose Russell's story for many reasons.

One of them was a member of the Steam Church and a mechanical engineering student, so he was familiar with Roselle and could even trace some of his knowledge beyond common sense back to his background.

The other one is—

He wanted to observe Nina's attitude towards Rosell in order to determine whether she had a relationship with Rosell.

Nina tilted her head and then nodded.

Roy gestured for her to be on the other side.

"In his early years, Emperor Roselle did not actually display any particularly outstanding talents, until one day..."

These are stories recorded in church books, and the image of Roselle in them is radiant and holy; anyone who reads them cannot help but feel admiration.

The premise is that you can't understand his notes.

After listening for a while, she couldn't help but ask, "Is that how Russell is?"

What is your understanding of it?

Roy countered with a question.

Nina thought for a moment and said, "I don't know, but I have a vague feeling that he is not so glorious and holy."

As expected, he knew Russell.

Roy smiled and said, "I have never met Emperor Roselle. These records are from our church's books, so there may be slight differences."

"Maybe so. I'm not interested in him anymore. Do you have any other stories?"

Nina was not interested.

Roy readily agreed and then told the story of the Mysterious Queen and the Dawn of the Elements, which Lady Owl listened to with great interest.

"And then what? The mysterious queen organized everyone to fight against the Morse Penitentiary Order, and then what?"

"This should be enough for this payment."

???

Although she was only in owl form, the anger and disgust in her eyes were genuine.

She was indignant and flew up to grab Roy.

A chilling spiritual power invaded her body, causing Roy to shiver immediately before disappearing into the candlelight.

Roy chuckled to himself.

but.

That power just now...

Without a doubt, Nina's vital signs lean towards the undead.

But if she were a pure undead, she certainly wouldn't have received such praise from Mr. Azik as "a very interesting form."

Roy pondered for a moment, then returned to the mysterious hall.

"Nina Erigor belongs to the Seer Path."

The pendant didn't move at first, but soon it started to rotate clockwise.

"Nina Irego's immortality stems from the extraordinary abilities of her sequence."

No response.

There is too little information to draw a divination result.

Roy sat down, his gaze sweeping over the star map, before his expression turned serious.

The number of stars above has increased.

There were significantly fewer areas with dim or no light.

He pondered for a moment, then pointed to a star with a brightness of medium to low.

The next moment, the flood of information flowed towards the source of the starlight.

A short while later, the voice appeared.

"I beg for your mercy, I beg you to send down seeds of hope, so that Silver City may be freed from the madness of bloodshed!"

The other person was speaking a giant language, and their voice was very strange—

She was calm, yet also crazy.

The contradictions of her emotions were perfectly embodied in her.

Lovia Tiffany.

A woman who embodies the spirit of the Hanged Man.

Roy was silent for a few seconds, then moved his finger, and in an instant, an endless torrent of information swept in front of him.

Lovia appeared inside the hall.

Yesterday's chapter had many typos and was messy. I went back and checked... some words had been deleted, which is strange.

For example, the black sparks inexplicably turned into black flowers... I'll review this again after I post it.
