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

Chapter 81 The Peaceful Shepherd

A hint of ecstasy flickered across Lovia's calm, frenzied face as she expressed her gratitude with the utmost courtesy.

"Great Creator! Thank you for listening. I know you will never abandon your people!"

She was excited and filled with gratitude.

Roy had mixed feelings.

There are risks involved in pulling her along.

The situation in the Forsaken Land is extremely complex. Even at this moment, he didn't sense any corruption or gaze from the true creator upon Lovia, but...

As a person descended from the dead, she is easily drawn to and corrupted by the other party.

not to mention.

Silver City also holds one of Amon's clones imprisoned.

however.

After much deliberation, he decided to give it a try.

If it doesn't work, then give up.

In any case, Roy didn't intend to reveal his name.

So far, he has only spoken Fors’s full name to him; even the fool Klein has not been able to obtain it.

Although the other party is Sequence 5, Roy has already digested a small portion of the potion, and his spirituality is much stronger than before.

It's bearable for a short period of time.

Roy, maintaining his numerological state, chuckled softly, "I am not the creator you worship, but merely a hermit who enjoys exchanging knowledge."

Hermit?

Lovia paused, her face showing deep disappointment and madness, but she quickly regained her composure.

She had never heard of hermits.

but.

She was willing to make a deal with anyone who could save Silver City.

If it's believable, even if it's just faith...

It's not necessarily impossible!

She lowered her head, suppressing her inner turmoil.

"Your Excellency the Hermit, what price must I pay in exchange for a way to save Silver City?"

Although the other party is not the creator, the fact that it could silently pull her to this place shows that it is also a very mysterious and powerful being.

She was willing to pay any price if knowledge could save her.

Roy's expression froze.

Save Silver City?

Do you know the current situation in Silver City?

Saving Silver City requires numerous steps, and he is currently powerless to overcome the final hurdle.

Dark Angels and Evil Spirits.

Even if Little Sun were to invite Mr. Fool, the two evil gods together wouldn't be enough to fill the opponent's teeth.

He leaned back in his chair.

"Knowledge exchange is based on equivalence."

"Then I want to know the truth about the curse of Silver City."

"Lovia said."

Roy chuckled and said, "This will require you to exchange your knowledge of your Creator. I'm quite curious about His current state. Of course, you can choose to give me some information and listen to others."

"I'll choose some, and listen to others."

Lovia did not hesitate.

She wants to inspect the goods first.

As for the Creator, He no longer responds, and it doesn't matter to her if she hands over the relevant knowledge.

Roy said calmly, "Your Silver City is known in the outside world as the Forsaken Land of Gods."

"The land forsaken by God?"

Lovia was struck dumb.

She thought of the Creator who never responded.

original.

Were they abandoned by God?

Is this the truth?

She took a deep breath and continued, "Excuse me, why is it called the Forsaken Land?"

"Heh, this knowledge has many layers. The most superficial one is that six gods once joined forces to abandon and seal this place."

Roy smiled faintly.

After hearing this, Lovia asked, "How much of a price have I paid now?"

"If you stop here, all you need to do is give up what you've collected."

"..."

Lovia had difficulty distinguishing truth from falsehood because she knew nothing about the outside world.

She didn't intend to ask any further questions.

Pointless.

If what the other party said is true, then it only taught her about a terrible history, and it has no meaning in saving Silver City.

On the contrary, the cost might be unbearable for them.

Lovia let out a sigh of relief.

"I want to know, are people from the outside allowed to come in?"

"sure."

Roy smiled faintly, "In the near future, you will encounter an outsider."

A hint of joy appeared on Lovia's face.

People from outside can come in!

This means they also have hope of getting out—

Even if the chances are slim.

but.

The other party actually knows about the future; how mysterious and powerful!

Lovia became even more respectful.

"Respected Hermit, the only edible food in Silver City is Blackface Grass. I would like to exchange knowledge that can provide Silver City with more food."

What a coincidence.

I still have a piece of knowledge stored with Frank.

Roy thought to himself.

"Although I know this, to create food suitable for you, I need the power of the earth."

He chuckled softly and said, "There is someone who, like you, thirsts for knowledge, and happens to be an expert in this field."

"Respected Hermit, our Silver City possesses considerable knowledge of the Earth Path. Could you please convey our request?"

Lovia lowered her head, making herself appear even more respectful.

Roy smiled faintly and said, "Okay."

"I will collect the payment you received as well."

Lovia nodded.

"Don't worry about it, it's just a small matter."

Roy said calmly, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

For Frank, places like Silver City were a paradise for research, where no one would object to mushrooms of all flavors and hybrid organisms.

Fortunately, Elder Lovia did not mention meeting.

Otherwise, as a recluse, all he could do was apologize.

Even though Roy was already a Sequence 7, he couldn't withstand a long meeting between a Sequence 5 and a Sequence 6.

This brief meeting alone had already drained most of his spiritual energy.

"You can leave some information about Silver City first, which will save you some unnecessary trouble."

Roy said.

after all--

Maintaining a Sequence 6 and Sequence 5 relationship simultaneously, and potentially engaging in lengthy conversations rather than brief exchanges of knowledge, would be a significant test of his spirituality.

Lovia nodded naturally.

"Great hermit, what should I do?"

"Remember this, and add what you want to say; he will see it."

Roy said calmly.

Lovia clasped her hands together in front of her chest, then closed her eyes, recalling and recounting the events in a prayerful posture.

Words and streams of information emerged from her mind, gradually coalescing into a magical book.

"alright."

"..."

Lovia opened her eyes, her beautiful gaze sweeping across the scene before her.

Then, she saw a book.

The book doesn't record words, but rather her innermost thoughts—

Lovia stood atop the city wall, recounting the suffering and needs of Silver City. The dark sky and silver lightning made it seem as if one were there in person.

She bowed: "Thank you for your mercy!"

Roy smiled and said, "Let's stop here."

"yes!"

Lovia responded, then hesitated for a moment before asking, "If I have gathered enough knowledge, how should I offer it to you?"

"Don't worry too much about it; the trading of knowledge is ongoing."

Roy smiled faintly, "Of course, if you are very eager, you can pray and silently pray during your daytime, and I will respond when I see it."

"Thank you for summoning me!"

Lovia bowed deeply, and then her figure disappeared into the mysterious hall.

Roy rubbed his temples and quickly left.

The spiritual depletion is quite significant!

……

In reality, Lovia's face was contorted in a bizarre way, and then she let out a cold and unrestrained laugh.

Perhaps the other party was not the creator, but He responded to me.

Does it matter if it saves Silver City?

She smiled with a sense of relief, but it sounded somewhat eerie.

A moment later, she got up, opened the door, and prepared to go to the library.

Upon reaching a corridor, Lovia noticed a strange-looking boy.

It wasn't that his aura was unusual, but rather that his condition was different from the other youths of Silver City.

He is very ambitious and energetic.

At this moment, Lovia, in a great mood, was very calm and composed, her gaze fixed on the other person with a cold yet composed expression.

The other person was a little reserved and quickly greeted her, "Elder Luo Weiya."

"What's your name?"

"Derrick Berger".

"Um."

She nodded slightly, then stepped forward and walked towards the library.

Derrick lowered his head.

Only after Lovia left did he slowly and stiffly raise his head.

Elder Lovia...

It doesn't seem as crazy or scary as before.

but.

According to their descriptions, most of the extraordinary individuals belonging to the "Mystic People" path of the shepherds are quite insane.

and so.

Crazy and abnormal are their characteristics; if they suddenly become normal, it might actually be a bit strange.

What happened to Elder Lovia?

Derrick couldn't help but feel a little worried.

It's a pity the tarot session just ended, otherwise I could have asked the wise Hanged Man.

Oh.

Now there's another "recluse" who seems to know a lot too.

Derrick was silent for a moment, then walked towards his room.

This chapter has revised the part about the required conditions.
