Chapter 114 Lovia: The hermit is watching me!

  Chapter 114 Lovia: The hermit is watching me!

  Gary is gone.

  Today he is indeed packing up his things, and it is true that he is going to pursue a career in the legal profession -

  this is the direction chosen by many descendants of nobles who cannot inherit their titles.

  So does Gary.

  As the second son in the family, he was unable to inherit the title, so he followed the path arranged by Viscount Zabia since college.

  Law was the major assigned by his father.

  "Sir."

  "Huh?"

  Roy was sitting in the study and noticed that Tilly hadn't left yet, looking like he was hesitant to speak.

  He looked back.

  "Is something wrong?"

  "Yes, is that nobleman really reliable? Can your words...can they calm him down?"

  Tilly hesitated, seeming to be thinking about her words.

  Roy smiled and said, "Do you think I'm fooling him?"

  Tilly nodded slightly.

  Roy shook his head and said, "You don't understand lawyers. They are experts in language and are best at catching loopholes and weaknesses." "What do

  you mean?"

  "Lies can deceive for a while, but they cannot deceive for a lifetime. What I said is It's true."

  Roy said sternly, "To overthrow the Moss Ascetic Order and change the surroundings to make them more in line with my own wishes, this is indeed my goal." "

  I understand."

  Tilly was slightly ashamed .

  Being a thief, it was hard for her to believe these things.

  "How are you doing over there?"

  Roy asked.

  Tilly's expression became serious and she took out a booklet.

  Roy took it.

  This is a ledger with her expenses and income written on it.

  At present...

  the income is sixty pounds 12 sores, and a few pennies.

  "After understanding divination, I will usually divination and screen the collected information, or make a secondary appraisal, so I will get less information from you."

  Tilly explained, "I came here today to deliver this information."

  She carefully took out a piece of paper from her waist.

  Roy took it.

  This is a portrait.

  A portrait of a middle-aged man about forty years old, wearing a robe and a silk hat, also looking like a scholar.

  "I couldn't divine his information, so I paid special attention to his whereabouts."

  Tilly was a little excited, and then took out another map. The difference is that this one has the detailed geographical environment of the Southern District and surrounding areas.

  Roy smiled and said, "You even drew a map?"

  "I gave those guys a little training. This is a teaching material for my own transformation."

  Tilly smiled and said, "Well, his range of activities is in this area. "

  She started from the Bridge District and followed the South District and Riverbend Avenue to the West District.

  Roy narrowed his eyes slightly.

  West End.

  It seems that

  the Moss Ascetic Order does have a gathering place in the West District, but I don't know where it is.

  He pondered for a moment and said: "Keep an eye on it, but be careful. He may have a higher ranking than you. Divination may not be useful, but may mislead your decision-making." "

  I understand, and I have also discovered that many times the results of divination may not be accurate. , especially under the influence of extraordinary factors."

  Tilly said.

  Roy thought for a moment and said, "Now that you have mastered the use of spirituality and ritual magic, if you see him again, send me a message. The spell is..."

  He said Nina's spell again, and then Then she told her request.

  Tilly was surprised at first, and then nodded immediately -

  it turns out there is such a messenger in the world.

  She once again marveled at the wonders of the mysterious world.

  After Tilly left, Roy smiled slightly.

  At present, it seems that the decision to train Tilly to become a fortune teller is the right one. Having one more fortune teller can filter out a lot of useless information. Most of the information in her hands is related to extraordinary people.

  Easy and effortless.

  "Moss Trappist Order, haha——"

  Roy chuckled, took out the materials and continued to study.

  Now, he is not studying the extraordinary characteristics of Bishop Rose, but the extraordinary characteristics of a hermit.

  Yes.

  Through the Mysterious Temple, Roy separated it from the extraordinary characteristics of Bishop Rose. He wanted to try to control the shadow through the extraordinary characteristics of the Monk to achieve the release of shadow witchcraft.

  Shadows are also a force of nature.

  In addition, Roy has a relatively deep understanding of shadows -

  the concealment of the Ring of Concealment is actually a manifestation of the power of shadows, but its usage is not as varied as that of the Hermit Monk.

  Currently studying.

  Roy suddenly sat upright.

  A crimson light engulfed him, and then...

  a voice was reproduced.

  "Dear Mr. Fool, my people have investigated that Lanervus and his subordinates are present at the junction of the Bridge District and the East District."

  The voice of justice.

  It seems.

  There is progress on Xio's side.

  Roy recalled the situation in that area in his mind.

  Still pointing to the dock area.

  "It seems that Lanerwus is unwilling to be replaced and is making various attempts."

  "He is also a talent."

  "It's a pity..."

  Roy shook his head.

  Forget about such talents.

  Too dangerous.

  He prayed solemnly, chanting the name of the Fool.

  Then -

  "Dear Mr. Fool, thank you Miss Justice for helping to collect information. The remuneration can be deducted from the arrears." "

  In addition, I already have a general understanding of Lan Erwusi. Please ask Miss Justice's men not to go again. Collected."

  "He is in extreme danger now."

  ...

  Above the gray fog, Klein was waiting for a reply, and then he heard Roy's voice.

  "Please tell Miss Justice's men to stop collecting."

  "He is in extreme danger now!"

  ? ?

  Did I miss something?

  Klein was confused.

  Roy, why haven't I seen you for a few days? Your information has almost reached the point where I have collected all the information about Lanerwus and no one wants to stop collecting it?

  In addition, where is his danger?

  Don't be the Riddler!

  Klein sighed helplessly, then intercepted the clip and sent it directly to Miss Justice, while he pondered over the gray mist.

  Extremely dangerous.

  For Roy to comment like this, it is obvious that great changes have taken place in Lanervus.

  Could it be?

  Klein's eyes widened as he thought of a possibility.

  Lanervus is contaminated by the true Creator's god. They knew this when they were in Tingen, and now...

  Roy evaluated it as "extremely dangerous". Maybe the other party has already gone further on the path of divine descent. The further away.

  Lanerwus is the real carrier of divine descent!

  Klein sat in his seat and couldn't help laughing.

  "Langervus."

  "Okay."

  "Very good! You'd better not die too soon!"

  ...

  Langervus.

  To be honest, after arriving in Backlund, Roy basically didn't pay much attention to the situation on his side.

  Bernadette was paying attention before, so there was no need for him to take the risk to observe.

  And now.

  Bernadette is even less likely to give up.

  If Roy's guess is correct, Bernadette should already regard Lanerwus as the key to promotion.

  I just don't know how she will lay it out.

  Roy thought for a moment, took out the letter and started writing, then chanted Bernadette's messenger spell.

  After a gust of wind, the letter disappeared without a trace.

  He went into the bathroom to take a shower, and when he came out, there was an extra letter on top of him.

  The letter was brief.

  "Got it."

  "I'll let you know when the time comes."

  Roy burned the letter.

  It seems that Bernadette is still in control of everything.

  Judging from Lanerwus' behavior and actions, he should be trying hard to alert the outside world to the Orthodox Church, hoping that people from the church can discover him.

  Then with the help of abilities, the divinity in his body was stripped away and killed, so that he could escape from his golden cicada shell.

  Did Bernadette help cover it up?

  Roy thought about the possibility, then shook his head, stopped making unwarranted conjectures, and sat down to continue studying the extraordinary characteristics of the hermit.

  Shadow Hunters...

  He recalled the records about the appearance of "Shadow Hunters" he saw in the Church of Steam, and then tried to construct witchcraft symbols in his mind.

  Entering the mysterious hall, after repeated attempts, he discovered a form of releasing witchcraft.

  He glanced outside.

  The sun is setting in the west, and it is already night on Rose Street. Under the street lights, there are many shadows on the street, which is the best place for experiments.

  Roy walked out the door wearing a coat.

  In the shadowy narrow alley beside the street, he rolled up his coat to cover his whole body, grasped the extraordinary characteristics of the "Hermit" in his hands, and uttered two words in ancient Hermetic language.

  "Shadow!"

  In an instant, the surrounding shadows wrapped around him, wrapping his coat in it and turning it into a part of the shadow.

  Roy understands.

  The witchcraft was successful!

  Because he felt the feedback from the potion.

  Extraordinary characteristics can indeed assist in spellcasting.

  actually.

  Thinking about it carefully, Roy found that this was normal. It could even be used to make extraordinary items that everyone could use. Why couldn't it be used as a witchcraft material?

  It's just that no one thought about it before.

  On the way home, Roy was thoughtful.

  For example, Newton discovered universal gravitation.

  Was he the first to be hit on the head by an apple?

  Obviously not.

  The same goes for casting spells with extraordinary characteristics.   

  "Many times, the conventions since ancient times often limit one's vision and thinking. To study witchcraft, one must learn to break the conventions."

  Especially when it comes to materials.

  At this moment, he felt obvious digestion, and then had a strange feeling -

  the wizard's potion was completely digested!

  Roy let out a breath.

  Next, there is only one thing left.

  Material!

  "Elder Lovia has the bark of the Sage Tree, so I should be able to get it with certainty. Bernadette promised to help me get the other things, and the brain can be sold to me at market price." "The only thing

  missing is the bark."

  Luo Yi thought for a while, then ascended to the mysterious palace and called up the star map.

  Then, with the help of the star map and Lovia's connection, he sensed Lovia's condition.

  She's not doing well.

  Roy frowned. After thinking for a moment, he returned to reality to get some materials, and then used his power to arrange a spiritual strengthening ceremony in the mysterious palace.

  In the next moment, the connection between him and Lovia strengthened.

  The effect of the spiritual strengthening ceremony slowly spread through the hall, stabilizing Lovia's spirit and the connection between them.

  At this moment, Lovia was walking alone in the forest.

  ...

  "A shepherd?"

  "What are you doing here? This is not the place you should be!"

  Terrifying sounds and murmurs echoed in the forest. It understood the giant language and also knew Lovia's sequence.

  Lovia knows.

  This is a warning from the crazy dryad -

  it doesn't want it to enter again.

  Lovia raised her head with a serious expression.

  "I need your bark and sap. If you give it to me, I will let you go." "

  ..."

  The crazy tree spirit was silent.

  A spiritual radiance appeared on Lovia's body, and a three- to four-meter-tall shadow appeared. It had traces of decay all over its body and was filled with the power of "fall."

  This is a real devil!

  Then, her figure suddenly accelerated and rushed into the forest.

  The demon in her body indulged in flames and magma, destroying this strange forest rooted in darkness. The branches, evil spirits and monsters in the blazing flames rushed towards her.

  not only that.

  A tree screamed loudly, then its branches opened, and the bark reflected images and messages.

  Then, an evil spirit was released from the bark.

  It made a terrible roar,

  this was...

  Lovia was stunned, and then suddenly covered her head in pain.

  This is

  the voice of the Creator!

  No.

  It seemed to be just fragments and roars, but she felt as if it was right in front of her, and in a daze, there seemed to be some kind of connection.

  While Lovia was in pain, a spiritual connection enveloped her, and then—

  all those murmurs seemed to be cut off.

  Her spirits returned to normal instantly.

  While Lovia was in surprise, she suddenly realized that

  the Hermit was watching her!

  She quickly drew a specious prayer gesture, regardless of whether she was blaspheming the two gods. She became one with the movements of the devil on her body.

  Then, Lovia immediately ran to the right.

  Branch after branch penetrated from the ground, piercing through her previous position like a spear.

  But.

  That's all.

  The next moment, a Ghost Rider appeared on Lovia's body.

  His condition is not very stable, but...

  at least he can swing a sword!

  Lovia wielded the illusory sword.

  When the sword slashed through the tree, all the surrounding shadows and evil spirits disappeared.

  She took a closer look.

  Weird and mysterious lines appeared on the bark of the tree in front of me. It was constantly changing pictures, and all of them seemed to be filled with pictures and knowledge it had witnessed.

  Lovia was silent for a few seconds, then cut off its bark and collected its sap in a bottle, and did not stop until it drained.

  "Thank you, Your Excellency the Hermit!"

  She gestured silently.

  ...

  "What a risk."

  "So strong!"

  Cold sweat broke out on Roy's forehead.

  At that moment, he first blocked out the evil spirit's murmurs, but what followed was not just murmurs, but also an eye from darkness.

  He had a guess.

  That may be the true Creator.

  He saw Lovia, so He also saw himself.

  "This is a match."

  "Fortunately, the opponent didn't really take action, otherwise I would definitely not be my opponent, so I would have to give up on Lovia."

  Roy sighed.

  but.

  Lovia was originally a believer in the True Creator, but due to some strange reasons, she has recently gradually turned towards herself.

  There is nothing wrong with real creatures mainly being angry.

  Roy coughed lightly, gathered his wits, and thought about what to do next.

  Due to the success of the spiritual strengthening ceremony, the connection between him and Lovia has not been severed, and he can vaguely sense the other party's current situation.

  certainly.

  There are also the rapidly growing piles of gibberish on the bookshelf.

  That is the roar of the true Creator.

  Roy sat on the chair and tried hard not to look at the bookshelf -

  as long as he didn't look at it, he wouldn't think about how angry the true Creator was at this moment.

  He secretly thought.

  At this moment, Lovia packed her things and then cleaned the surrounding battlefield.

  In addition to the crazy tree spirit, there are other beasts in this area. Although they are scary, they are also food that can be tried for Silver City.

  Roy maintained the ritual and blocked out the chatter around her.

  Until...

  Lovia saw the crowd.

  She saw Waite Hillmon.

  Waite held the big sword and looked at her who appeared in the darkness with a wary expression.

  Lovia dragged the prey and said gently: "I am Lovia Tiffany, I have hunted the target."

  Waite looked back at the team members, and then said: "What did you get?"

  "The crazy tree spirit's Bark,"

  she whispered.

  This was information only she, the Chief, and Elder Waite knew.

  Waite nodded slightly, but still said: "You are on guard and guard the perimeter."

  "Understood."

  Lovia didn't care.

  In Silver City, everyone is on guard against madness, and people who are alone...

  are often the most susceptible to accidents.

  She was still frightened by the previous encounter. If it weren't for Mr. Hermit's protection, she might have encountered problems now.

  If that were the case...

  Not to mention the weakening of Silver City, everyone would still have to bear the terrible consequences of their own madness.

  Fortunately nothing happened.

  fine.

  There is Mr. Hermit behind him to help.

  She exhaled slowly, and then she heard vague murmurs again, but they were not as strong and terrifying as the ones she heard in the wilderness before.

  ...

  "Successful."

  Roy let out a long sigh of relief.

  I got the bark of my own Sage Tree.

  Oh, and sap.

  The sap of the Sage Tree is only an auxiliary material, but according to Roy's idea, it should be used as a relatively good casting material.

  Lovia took a lot.

  In this case, I can exchange more with her.

  Roy was thinking about how to negotiate with Lovia in the future so that the deal could be completed safely. In addition,

  in order to complete the deal, he had to teach Lovia his sacrifice ritual.

  "Anyway, I've been offended."

  "No matter what the outcome is, it won't be worse than it is now."

  Roy felt happy in his misery.

  It is difficult for the outside world to find the bark of the Sage Tree, otherwise Mr. Hyde would not be still searching for materials today.

  Maybe Roy was lucky enough, or got it in a tarot session.

  but.

  So...

  I don't know when it was.

  Roy couldn't wait.

  Some risks must be taken.

  After confirming that Lovia was safe and not calling him, Roy sent a message.

  He needs to fall asleep and rest quickly.

  On the one hand, it is to restore spirituality. On the other hand, Lovia and the others' time difference is slightly different from reality. After the "day" with lightning interspersed, they will return to Silver City.

  I don't have much time to rest.

  ...

  "The eyes that see into the future."

  "The person in charge of the mysterious palace."

  "The incarnation of knowledge and spiritual numbers."

  Lovia felt the information directly appearing in her mind, and there was a sudden joy in her heart, and tenderness appeared on her face. smile.

  She looked back at the prey and the expressions of the team members, and she was even more happy.

  perhaps.

  In the near future, after receiving food from the outside world, everyone will no longer have to work so hard and take risks, and Silver City will no longer have to endure such terrible madness.

  (End of chapter)Chapter 115 The Creator has fallen

  Chapter 115 The Creator Has Fallen

  Lovia and the others managed to return to the safe Silver City before the lightning subsided.

  Everyone cheered when they saw the prey they brought back.

  Silver City burst into joy.

  Lovia silently walked towards the dungeon.

  After acting alone, she needs to be confined for a period of time in order to ensure that she has no problems.

  Walked a while.

  She looked up.

  "Chief" Colin Iliad walked in front of her.

  "Your Excellency, I am ready to enter the dungeon."

  Lovia said calmly.

  Colin nodded: "I have prepared it for you. You need to stay inside for seven days to receive the baptism of the crown of glory."

  Lovia nodded calmly, but soon she remembered something and showed hesitation.

  She stopped.

  "Before that, I need to borrow a quiet room as a prayer room and bring those two things."

  "No problem."

  Colin knew.

  She wanted to communicate with the "great being" and sacrifice what she had obtained.

  He wanted to watch.

  but.

  Such a secret existence may not want anyone to watch him.

  Colin looked towards a special dungeon.

  "Come with me."

  After a while, she was led by Colin to a completely isolated and secluded underground prison.

  It's completely isolated from the surrounding area.

  She began to arrange the sacrificial ceremony, but halfway through the preparation, she remembered that Mr. Hermit did not give her the specific arrangements for the sacrificial ceremony, only his honorable name.

  forget?

  Not likely.

  Maybe Mr. Hermit doesn't care too much.

  Lovia pondered for a moment and decided to slightly change the traditional ceremony.

  Mr. Hermit is certainly not interested in blood food.

  Then...

  it's better to change it to books and knowledge.

  She made her request.

  Colin agreed.

  Half an hour later, after everything was arranged, Lovia Tiffany solemnly sat in front of the altar and began to chant.

  ...

  In the haze, Roy vaguely heard the voice of prayer, and instantly woke up.

  He quickly ascended to the halls of mystery.

  Then, he saw the stars on the star map twinkling, and he opened it to take a look -

  the stars belonging to Lovia were sparkling.

  Roy quickly connected the stars.

  The next moment, a torrent of information swept away and turned into a stable channel, connecting the mysterious palace and the altar.

  ...

  Lovia closed her eyes and waited for a response.

  After waiting for a moment, she felt a wave of terrifying spirituality sweeping over her, and then -

  opening her eyes, Lovia was slightly sluggish.

  The surrounding books turned into living words, building barriers one after another as if given life, including her and the altar.

  Then, these words swept over her and the sacrifices, turning into a whirlpool and swept into the hall.

  This was the first time she understood the rising process so clearly.

  Grand and mysterious.

  Lovia prayed devoutly in her heart, asking the "hermit" to protect herself and the City of Silver...

  when she opened her eyes.

  The mysterious palace appeared before us again.

  The trader is not here?

  Lovia bowed.

  "Thank you for your protection, Dear Hermit."

  "If it weren't for your help, I might not be able to come back from the wilderness safely, and even bring unimaginable disasters to the people of Silver City."

  The most terrifying thing about the wilderness is the unknown. .

  No one knew what was happening to them, even if she was already a powerful shepherd.

  Roy smiled lightly.

  "It's a small thing, and you paid the price."

  "This is not a transaction of equal value. In any case, please allow me to express my indescribable gratitude."

  Lovia was excited not only because she was rescued, but also because He received the honorable name of Mr. Hermit.

  this means.

  She has gone from "entering by chance" to becoming a true believer recognized by Mr. Hermit.

  "In addition, regarding these..."

  "I will help you convey that he has paid the price."

  Roy said calmly.

  I see.

  Through the sacrifices and gifts of Mr. Hermit, the circulation of internal and external items is completed.

  If that's the case...

  couldn't I ask Mr. Hermit to help carry the food?

  No!

  This is blasphemy.

  Lovia apologized repeatedly in her heart.

  not to mention.

  Just helping with transportation can save you for a while, but how can you help for the rest of your life?

  If Silver City wants to be saved, it must first have food that can survive on its own, instead of relying on black-faced grass derived from monsters or unknown things.

  She presented all the materials from the Sage Tree, suppressed the excitement in her heart, and then asked: "Dear Mr. Hermit, if I want to know the source of the whispers in the wilderness, what do I need to exchange for it?"

  "The True Creator."

  Roy He answered calmly and did not ask for payment.

  Lovia's expression froze, and then she said in disbelief: "The Creator is still alive?"

  Then why does He never respond to His people?

  She couldn't believe it for a moment.

  Roy sighed softly: "I prefer to call Him now, the Fallen Creator."

  Fallen...

  Lovia's expression was in a trance.

  She vaguely guessed.

  Something terrible happened to the Creator whom Silver City believed in, which resulted in no response for so many years.

  Or.

  Fortunately, the True Creator did not respond.

  If such a corrupted evil god responded to Silver City, Silver City might have completely fallen into madness at this moment.

  She couldn't help but feel chills all over just thinking about it.

  If it weren't for Mr. Hermit, who returned to Silver City after being watched by the fallen Creator, he would probably have become the coordinates to bring the fallen Creator to Silver City.

  That may be a more terrible catastrophe.

  However.

  She also thought about another point -

  since the True Creator can spread rumors in the land abandoned by the gods, does it mean that the power of the True Creator is enough to affect this unknown and terrifying sealed land?

  If so...

  For Silver City, unless we get out of this restricted land, disaster will come sooner or later.

  She thought about the prophecy.

  Lovia put away her initial excitement and joy and said worriedly: "Your Excellency the Great Hermit, how can I save Silver City?"

  "This problem does not lie with me, but with you in Silver City."

  Roy replied with a low smile . , "In addition, someone has proposed to hold a weekly gathering to learn mysterious knowledge. If you are interested, you may be able to join and find the answer among them." "

  Thank you, Your Excellency the Great Hermit!"

  Lovia was extremely excited.

  Mr. Hermit can not only bring her into the temple, but also bring many people up at the same time to communicate together.

  She has realized it.

  There are completely different conditions inside and outside the God's Abandoned Land, and Mr. Hermit once said that the God's Abandoned Land can actually be entered.

  So if relying on the people of Silver City alone doesn't work, you have to look for "outside" help.

  This.

  It's an opportunity!

  "I only provide a platform for communication and do not participate in the exchange."

  Roy said with a smile, "Since you are willing to join, considering the special nature of Silver City, I will notify you one day and one hour in advance respectively. If you are inconvenient You can ask for leave directly."

  "Yes, I understand."

  Lovia answered respectfully.

  Then, she hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Hermit, Mr. Cultivator, how is he doing now?"

  "I haven't paid attention to him. If you want to know, I can help you contact him now."

  Roy smiled lightly.

  Lovia lowered her head and said, "No need to trouble you. I'll ask you to contact me when I have prepared the relevant knowledge about druids next time."

  "Okay."

  "Thank you for your mercy."

  Lovia bowed.

  The next moment, the torrent of information collapsed in front of him.

  She returned to reality.

  The basement of Silver City.

  Lovia stood up with a smile on her face, but then it quickly turned into deep worry.

  Fallen Creator...

  Fortunately, He didn't respond before, otherwise, it would be unimaginable.

  Lovia took a deep breath, cleaned up the scene, then opened the door and walked out.

  Outside the door, Colin personally guarded the door.

  He had weapons on his belt and was fully armed, looking particularly solemn.

  Seeing Lovia coming out, Colin squinted his eyes and looked at it. After a few seconds, he said, "Is it over?"

  "Yes, Your Excellency."

  Lovia showed a gentle and worried expression. After hesitating for a moment, she said, " Your Excellency, the situation in our Silver City is not optimistic."

  "What should I say?"

  Colin looked serious.   

  Lovia thought about what to say, and after a few seconds, she continued: "Your Excellency, when I was hunting the crazy tree spirit in the wilderness, the clip of the crazy tree spirit attracted the attention of the Creator." "

  Creator?"

  Colin He raised his eyebrows and locked eyes with her.

  Lovia took a breath and continued: "The great being said that some accidents happened to Him, and now he has fallen, which is very different from before. Fortunately, the great being protected me."

  Colin's face was solemn.

  He understood what Lovia meant.

  Creator.

  In other words, the fallen Creator, who can influence this dark land.

  If the other party is not crazy, why hasn't he responded for so many years?

  If the other party is already crazy...

  then.

  If Silver City wants to leave the Land Abandoned by God, it may have to face obstacles from that side.

  He looked into the distance in silence.

  "Your Excellency, my path is controlled by the current Creator. If my existence will bring disaster to Silver City, I will leave Silver City after I finish what I want to do."

  Lovia said firmly.

  Colin looked back at her, and then uttered: "Will you betray Silver City?"

  "Of course not."

  She did not hesitate.

  "Then Silver City will not betray you."

  After Colin finished speaking, he left with his sword in hand. "You still have to go to the dungeon. This is a necessary process."

  "Yes."

  ...

  "Silver City."

  " Hey, there's only so much I can do."

  Roy looked at the thick pile of gibbering and yelling. The words and information above must be extremely terrifying.

  He retrieved an amethyst that had no recorded knowledge.

  After intercepting half of it, he thought about it...

  and intercepted another half.

  This was the most intense and high-pitched part from what he heard roughly. It was not a good word, so he didn't distinguish it in detail.

  Intercept and load.

  Cracks appeared on the amethyst.

  Any more and it won't be able to carry it.

  Roy played with it, and then temporarily sealed it in the mysterious palace.

  If you have the opportunity in the future, you can use it on the Aurora Society to let their believers feel the greetings of the true Creator.

  Maybe.

  The opportunity to use it will come soon.

  Then, he looked at the bark, sap, and a thick branch of the crazy tree spirit on the table.

  These are all parts brought back by Lovia, and the spiritual power on them is very strong.

  If Roy had mastered the knowledge of the craftsman, he even thought he could try to transform the branch into a witchcraft wand to assist in casting spells.

  pity.

  At present, he does not have such knowledge, and even the Hidden Sage may not have it -

  and if he does, it is unlikely that he can teach him.

  Roy sighed regretfully, and then studied the "Crazy Dryad's Bark" carefully. After some research...

  he understood why Silver City called it that.

  The bark of this tree has very simple and peculiar lines. It can record information and transform information and knowledge into magic-like effects.

  This is similar to "Scroll".

  In other words, most of Professor Scroll's "scroll" abilities continue from the characteristics of tree bark, while the brain of the deep-sea octopus further enhances spell conception, creation and other abilities.

  Probably because of the special nature of the God's Abandoned Land, it was stained with so much pollution that you could feel the madness exuding from it just by holding it in your hand.

  This is still a dead thing.

  If this Sage Tree was still alive, you can imagine what kind of state it would be in. No wonder Silver City would call it "crazy".

  "What a pity."

  "The only piece of a tree that is suitable for teaching extraordinary properties as a scroll is the core piece, and the rest cannot be used as the main material." "

  Otherwise, I can give one to Mr. Hyde."

  Roy took out The core piece.

  It is a complete piece of bark near the root of the Sage Tree, and it is also the source of its extraordinary power.

  It is unrealistic to let Lovia go again.

  The wilderness outside Silver City is very dangerous, including this time, Lovia hunted the crazy tree spirit, and the information recorded by the tree spirit caught the attention of the true creator, which caused a lot of trouble.

  If we go out hunting again...

  what if we attract Amon?

  One cannot rely on Amon's mercy.

  While thinking, Roy used the ability of the Mysterious Palace to strip away the pollution from the extraordinary material and return it to its original state.

  After a while, the bark was no longer so twisted, but calm and peaceful. The lines on it were simple and natural, recording a period of time.

  Then he looked at the other materials.

  He hasn't figured out what to do with the rest of the bark yet, but there is no doubt about one thing -

  for a wizard, there is no absolutely useless material.

  Returning to reality, Roy turned on the lamp and thought about one thing through the light and the dim light outside.

  Do I want to ask Bernadette now for the rest of the materials for promotion?

  From being promoted to wizard to now, it only takes a month to get the full calculation. This speed is certainly not impossible, but it does seem very shocking... After

  thinking for a moment, Roy no longer hesitated.

  want!

  Time waits for no one.

  Waiting a month longer may make you feel safer and more natural, but what about the future?

  Have Sequence 5 and Sequence 4 been done step by step?

  impossible.

  Roy's goal is not to be a demigod, but to become a sequence 0, or even hit a higher sequence. He cannot wait step by step.

  That way...

  maybe even if Klein becomes a god, he is still just a saint.

  In the second half of the journey, Klein's promotion speed was simply terrifying.

  Roy picked up a pen and paper and started writing without hesitation.

  "Dear Queen of Mystery, I have completed the wizard's digestion and collected the 'Bark of the Sage Tree' through a party."

  "I hope to buy the rest of the materials in your hand..."

  He finished writing the letter, and then After thinking for a moment, he waited until dawn before chanting the incantation and summoning the invisible messenger.

  After the letter disappeared, Roy leaned back in his chair and thought about his subsequent plans.

  Sequence 6 can also be obtained through Element Dawn.

  but.

  Starting from Sequence 5, the difficulty of obtaining the magic potion will rise linearly with each sequence, and it is impossible to rely on the element Dawn all the time.

  Apart from the element Dawn, only the Moss Ascetic Society possesses the extraordinary characteristics of this path's high sequence, so

  Roy can only attack them.

  certainly.

  There is another way.

  Bernadette gave herself her Sequence 2 Extraordinary Characteristics, and she was able to peel off all the Sequence 3 and beyond Extraordinary Characteristics from it.

  but.

  This will expose Roy's biggest secret, and it cannot be described as putting aside the basics to eliminate the last.

  This is also the reason why Roy trained Tilly and Gary.

  Only by training your subordinates and developing your own eyeliner can you help yourself catch more traces of the Moss Ascetic Society.

  The Moss Ascetic Society is the target he wants to target.

  certainly.

  If they can become stronger and help themselves in future battles, that would definitely be the best.

  Anyway...

  for now, the master will lead you in, and your cultivation depends on the individual.

  How far they can go is up to them.

  Roy took out a pen and wrote a name on the paper -

  Cattleya.

  The condition for obtaining the other Sequence 6 materials except "Sage's Tree Bark" is to help Bernadette bring a message to Cattleya.

  so.

  He must go to sea, find the Star Admiral, and convey those words to him -

  "Your destiny has changed."

  To be honest, Roy was very curious.

  What exactly did Bernadette see that made her think of letting herself convey this sentence.

  Could it be that--

  he replaced the "Hermit" in the Tarot Club, causing Cattleya's fate to change?

  "I'm so curious."

  Roy sighed.

  pity.

  His curiosity is destined to be unsatisfied -

  based on his understanding of Bernadette's "prophecy" ability, it is very likely that Bernadette herself does not know it.

  Roy was about to get up and wash up, then go out to find something to eat. Suddenly a gust of wind blew...

  and a letter appeared on the table.

  He picked it up.

  It's not so much a letter as it is a piece of paper with a sentence written on it.

  "Afternoon, your home."

  Short and direct.

  Roy burned the paper and got up to wash up.

  He needs to adjust his mental state to prepare for his Sequence 6 magic medicine.

  Bernadette's high efficiency also brought herself a convenience -

  having completely digested the wizard, in a sense, she was fully capable of bearing the spiritual loss of Lovia joining the study group.

  even.

  One more Frank might not be able to hold on.

  Because the improvement brought by the wizard is much greater than Sequence 9 and Sequence 8. This is the key sequence for the secret peeper to truly show his strength.

  Even so.

  Starting a study session after being promoted can allow Roy to leave more margin to meet unexpected needs.

   The 0.0

    status has been adjusted.

    In the early morning of November 7th, you will definitely see me updating twice in one go! I swear!

    [Chapter 2 today is still 12 o'clock, so don't wait early in the morning]

  (End of this chapter)

Chapter 116 Promotion, Professor Scroll

  Chapter 116 Promotion, Professor Scroll

  In the afternoon, Rose Flower Street.

  Roy waited eagerly for a long time, and finally the pea vines dropped down.

  The next moment, Bernadette jumped down from above.

  Then, she stretched out her right hand and sketched words in mid-air that were different from those in various languages.

  Those single words gather and intertwine, turning into a mysterious door that seems to lead to the depths of the spiritual world.

  The mysterious door opens.

  A gust of wind blew out, and his upper body turned into a man wrapped in white cloth.

  She said the name of the material.

  After a while, the man took out pieces of extraordinary materials from the mysterious door and handed them to Bernadette's hands.

  Bernadette glanced at Roy.

  "You digested it very quickly, much faster than I expected."

  "This is due to my past knowledge accumulation and the teachings of the hidden sage."

  Roy nodded, and then sighed, "Peeking into the secrets In this path of human beings, we need to pursue knowledge tirelessly at every stage, otherwise we will be overwhelmed and swallowed by knowledge."

  "No, it is knowledge that has been chasing us."

  Bernadette looked into the deep distance, her sight seemed to pass through After a moment of space and time, she withdrew her gaze and focused on Roy.

  One by one she placed items on the table.

  The brain of a deep-sea octopus.

  Deep sea octopus ink.

  The sap of the Sage Tree...

  Roy saw that she had taken out the sap, but he did not take out the sap that he had prepared in advance.

  Although the sap of the Sage Tree is not the main material, if Roy bought the bark and the sap at the same time, then -

  it is easy for Bernadette to think that his seller did not take it from the inventory. Instead of getting such a main material, he hunted a living Sage Tree.

  This may reveal some secrets.

  Bernadette said slowly: "You prepare the potion yourself, I will watch from the side."

  "Thank you, madam."

  Roy nodded gratefully, then entered the kitchen and started to prepare the potion. After a while, a bottle A strange, jet-black potion appeared in the bowl.

  "Professor Scroll" potion.

  Roy took a deep breath, picked up the bottle and drank it in one gulp.

  bitter!

  A thick bitter taste spread throughout the body, followed by a terrible feeling of numbness, followed closely by -

  this feeling of numbness spread throughout the body.

  Afterwards, Roy saw all the books and notes around him come to life, and the sheets of paper were moving without any wind, reflecting strange and strange pictures one after another.

  Those pictures are partly real and partly illusory, making it difficult to tell whether they are real or fake. Among them are also the terrifying ravings of the hidden sage.

  His voice is still cold and devoid of any emotion, but it has the power to penetrate the soul and reach the depths.

  not only that.

  In a daze, Roy seemed to hear a voice repeating and echoing -

  "Forgania! Virginia!"

  Virginia?

  What is that place?

  Sounds so familiar.

  Roy covered his head and endured the severe pain, trying to think about where it was and why it gave him a strong sense of familiarity.

  At the same time, he continued to collect his spiritual energy and maintained his meditation method.

  After what he thought was tens of seconds, Roy gradually gained control of his spirituality, and those gibberings and manifestations of knowledge activation also disappeared in his eyes.

  Roy sat heavily in his chair, breathing heavily.

  "Half an hour."

  Bernadette said lightly, "I covered my head and muttered to myself for half an hour. I couldn't hear the order of the words clearly, but I think you should be reading somewhere."

  Roy raised his head and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. .

  Then.

  He remembered it, but he hesitated to tell Bernadette. After thinking for a second or two, Roy decided to tell Bernadette.

  Because...

  the mysterious queen of Sequence 3 may know more about this place.

  So, he said in ancient Fusac language: "Folgania."

  "Folgania?"

  Bernadette was startled for a moment, then thought deeply, "After you were promoted, did you hear rumors related to this place? "

  "It's not gibbering, it's just repeating this word in ancient Fusac language. I don't know what it means."

  Roy explained.

  Bernadette frowned slightly, and then said: "Folgania is a mysterious holy land in ancient Fusac according to legend. The creatures there are spiritual and possess unimaginable mysterious knowledge." "

  Folgania Owl ?"

  Roy finally remembered why he felt this place was so familiar.

  One of the main materials of Sequence 9, the name of Fergania Owl has this term attached to it.

  Bernadette nodded.

  "The Virginia Owl is indeed a creature of that place, but there is no such place as Virginia anymore."

  "Why?"

  Roy was puzzled.

  Bernadette looked at him, and then whispered: "It disappeared. Some people speculated that it was submerged by the sea. Some people speculated that it was transferred to the spirit world or other places by some great being." "

  No one has found the answer yet."

  She said When he got here, he looked at Roy and said, "Sometimes, the voice you hear is a revelation, but it can also be a fatal temptation or a trap. You need to identify it yourself."

  Roy opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment. say what.

  Virginia.

  Could it be... that

  Virginia is his own mysterious palace?

  its not right!

  It was a place and area where countless mysterious creatures once lived, and his mysterious palace was more like an existence similar to the spiritual world.

  It may be related to the Wilderness of Knowledge, but it's not like an extracted incarnation of Phorgania.

  Perhaps as Bernadette said, it is not necessarily a revelation, but a trap dug by the other party.

  Roy frowned, then sighed softly.

  Stop thinking about it.

  There is no point in thinking too much.

  He restrained his spirituality, adapted to the new power, and carefully experienced the ability of Professor Scroll.

  As a professor of scrolls, he can draw scrolls with witchcraft power on parchments and other papers in advance, turning the witchcraft he masters into reality.

  It has a linked and extended relationship with wizards.

  Roy Mingwu realized that

  the Church of Steam may not have secret-peeping potion formulas above Sequence 5, but there definitely are those below Sequence 5, and there are quite a lot of them.

  He looked at Bernadette.

  "Madam, is the Tree of Sage now controlled by the Church of Steam?"

  "Many known ones are controlled by them, and some may be hidden in certain organizations, forces or personal collections."

  Bernadette said.

  She looked at Roy and smiled: "I'm curious, where did you buy it from?" "It

  was in the hands of a great nobleman. A descendant of their family has embarked on an extraordinary path. I exchanged it at a party."

  Roy didn't explain in depth.

  Bernadette nodded.

  "Some nobles do collect this kind of thing. They think it is a book of revelation or prophecy, but in fact what appears on the bark is just the information witnessed by the Sage Tree." "

  So that's it."

  Roy "suddenly realized. ".

  Bernadette said: "If you want to participate in the operation against Lanerwus, you'd better master the power of the potion as soon as possible."

  "Are you planning to take action soon?"

  Roy was curious.

  Bernadette shook her head: "It's the Church of the Night. They got the news from somewhere. They may have been preparing to take action in the past two days."

  She paused for a few seconds, and then continued: "This may be within Lanerwus' plan. , according to my observation, he is deliberately releasing information about his existence, attracting the attention of the Orthodox Church." "

  He has the divinity of the true creator. In Tingen, they used to hold a divine descending ceremony, Lanerwus It was the trigger for the divine descending ceremony,"

  Roy explained.

  He mentioned this to Bernadette, but it was limited to his "own knowledge" before. He couldn't remind him too much. He just wrote some strange things about Lanerwus on the side.

  Bernadette nodded.

  She obviously thought about it, so she just told Roy the information, and saw that he understood the meaning and stopped mentioning it any more.

  Roy took out the money bag.

  According to the previous agreement, he had to pay for the "brain of the deep-sea octopus", while Element Dawn only charged the market price.

  so.

  He needs to pay £1,500.

  This is already considered cheap.

  Bernadette took the gold pound and prepared to leave.

  Seeing that she was about to leave, Roy quickly called out: "Madam, please wait a moment! If I want to exchange for the Sequence 5 potion formula, what price will it cost?"

  Bernadette gave him a deep look.

  "Every promotion starting from Sequence 5 is very difficult, and the value of the magic potion formula is getting higher and higher. It cannot be exchanged for money."

  "Need to contribute?"

  Roy asked carefully.

  Bernadette smiled and said, "Yes."

  "Okay, I will try my best."

  Roy sighed.

  Bernadette walked slowly towards the door, but after taking two steps, her figure gradually disappeared from the spot.

  How amazing!

  This is a high-sequence secret peeper. As long as he has enough knowledge reserves, he can do many magical operations.

  Such as this kind of traveling through the spirit world.

  but.

  As long as he gets promoted, he will be able to do it sooner or later, and even more...

  After Bernadette left, Roy did not immediately ascend to the Mysterious Hall, but waited for a long time, during which he also tried to engrave scrolls on ordinary paper. .

  certainly.

  The result was of course a failure.   

  Scrolls that carry witchcraft also have certain requirements for materials. He guessed that the bark of the Sage Tree, which does not have extraordinary properties, can be used as a scroll material after being modified.

  but.

  It would be too wasteful to use it to engrave ordinary spells.

  Additionally, scroll magic is slightly different from sorcery.

  It also has requirements for materials.

  but.

  At present, he does not have a detailed understanding. After all, the possible indoctrination of the Hidden Sage has been blocked by the mysterious palace together with the babble.

  About half an hour later, he ascended to the mysterious palace.

  As expected, many more books appeared in the mysterious palace in one go.

  Roy looked at them one by one.

  "Elements of Scroll Manufacturing"

  "How to Prepare Scroll Writing Ink"

  "From Scroll Beginner to Mastery"

  Thanks to the Hidden Sage!

  Roy devoutly praised the hidden sage in the mysterious palace.

  If he was instilled with so much in one breath when he was promoted, he would definitely curse the Hidden Sage to death in his heart -

  that would greatly increase the probability of losing control.

  but.

  They are all blocked by the mysterious palace, which is very comfortable.

  He can immediately obtain the knowledge he needs without deliberately searching for it, and through the Mysterious Palace, he can also master and digest it immediately.

  Is there anything better than this?

  After Roy fully absorbed it, he gradually realized the knowledge instilled by the Hidden Sage, and then he had a clearer understanding of Professor Scroll.

  Scroll making is not quite the same as witchcraft, but it is very similar.

  The key to it is the scroll, the ink.

  The better the material, the more powerful the spells recorded, while ordinary paper is unlikely to be able to carry the power of spells.

  Generally speaking, the scrolls will be made of ordinary leather from animals or monsters, and the ink will be mixed with blood, herbs, etc.

  Depending on the characteristics of herbs and blood, the effects of the spells prepared are also different.

  For example, a freezing scroll.

  According to what is written in the book, the skin of deep-sea fish or the ink of deep-sea cuttlefish are usually chosen -

  these are cheap materials.

  For spells of the transmutation system, you can choose the blood of the Thousand-faced Hunter.

  This is an example given by the Hidden Sage.

  Roy diverged and thought of the possible compositions of several other spell scrolls.

  For example...

  things you already have ready-made, such as crystal coral, thunder grass, etc.

  They can be used as witchcraft materials, and they can certainly be used as release materials for scrolls. However, when grinding and making ink, you need to choose a liquid that is compatible with its material.

  This is also a university question.

  Roy's head was swelling.

  Fortunately, I have the Mysterious Palace, otherwise it would take a lot of time to master and learn just this knowledge.

  not to mention.

  The writing and production of scrolls also have different requirements.

  The scroll itself can also be soaked and modified with potions to give it different effects. In short, it is good to get started in the short term.

  "Let's start with the sheepskin."

  "As for making the spell scroll first..."

  Roy looked up his memory.

  Since he is not familiar with it, he needs to recall and think to find exactly the knowledge he needs.

  Then.

  He chose a method for making a spell scroll.

  Water wave scroll.

  This spell can mobilize the power of water, or generate a large wave of water. The required materials are seaweed, sea salt or the blood of sea beasts and other sea-related things.

  In Backlund, these things are relatively easy to find.

  The scrolls it requires are not expensive, as long as they are animal skins, and can basically be easily purchased at the vegetable market in the Southern District.

  "After you become proficient, you can conquer the exorcism scroll, followed by the flame scroll and the freezing scroll."

  Roy made a plan.

  The material required for the exorcism scroll is also sunflower powder.

  If it were Intis where the Eternal Sun Church flourished, the materials might be cheaper. After all, sunflowers, which were not the main extraordinary material, could be seen everywhere there.

  Even in Backlund, you can buy a lot of sunflower powder in pharmacies for 1 pound.

  As for the reel material, it's also not in demand.

  If you master these four kinds of scrolls, Roy's basic combat power will be formed. The follow-up step is to add more types of scrolls and add tactics.

  Knowledge is always the most powerful weapon for the secret seeker.

  The more knowledge you have, the stronger your combat ability will be.

  ...

  Back to reality, Roy went to the vegetable market, bought some vegetables and mixed them with the ingredients he needed.

  Upon his return, he immediately began trying to make scrolls.

  Roy doesn't ask for much.

  The initial scroll does not require spell power, as long as it can be released, it is very good.

  He first tried and simulated it in the Mysterious Palace using materials embodied by information flow, and went through nearly a hundred attempts and deductions.

  Roy basically got the hang of it.

  In fact, it is similar to witchcraft release.

  As the "primary" scroll selected by Roy, if you want to complete the Water Wave Scroll, you only need to complete the mixing of ink and spiritual writing.

  The first level is not very difficult.

  The difficulty lies in the second level -

  writing.

  The essence of writing is actually to build a spell model.

  only.

  It is different from sketching the model in the mind when witchcraft is released...

  it requires the use of pen and spirituality to outline and depict, and to actually burn the spell model down.

  in this way.

  When releasing, as long as the spiritual and magic models hidden above are stimulated through spirituality, a spell can be released.

  certainly.

  These are just simulations in the Mystery Hall.

  When it comes to actual operation...

  you will still encounter various problems.

  for example.

  Roy's hands were shaking, and one scroll was scrapped.

  The difficulty of the state, ink deployment, etc. is much, much more difficult than the absolutely stable state above the palace.

  Good thing.

  He had expected all this.

  Roy bought twenty or thirty copies of the materials.

  If he hadn't been worried that he would buy too many things and attract a lot of people's attention, he would have wanted to buy hundreds of parchment rolls and other materials such as seaweed and come back to try and study them.

  Soon, night falls.

  Twenty parchments have been thrown on Roy's desk, and the one he has on hand is one of the few finished products.

  Roy took a deep breath, and then spiritually extended the inspiration scroll.

  The next moment, a water column emerged from the scroll and sprayed forward.

  At this level...

  it is impossible to expect it to fight, but everything is difficult at the beginning. Once you master the know-how and techniques, you only need to fine-tune and adapt to the subsequent ones.

  He couldn't help but feel refreshed.

  Unfortunately.

  It was already late at night, the market had long been closed, and although he still had a few sheepskins left, there was not much material left to make special ink.

  and.

  If I really want to use it in combat, the ordinary ink combined with other materials is still not good enough, at least I need materials like fishman blood.

  It seems that -

  we still have to find a way to contact Darkwill in reality in a way that does not scare the other party.

  Many materials for preparing ink can be purchased from pharmacies.

  Especially an extraordinary pharmacy like Darkwell.

  but.

  This requires one person's help.

  ...

  The next day, Roy set off and took the steam subway to Hillston District.

  In order to obtain Darkwill's channels and facilitate the purchase of various extraordinary materials, he must talk to the "Eye of Wisdom".

  "I wonder how Detective Essinger's case is going."

  Roy smiled.

  but.

  He had no intention of getting too involved in the devil's affairs -

  it wasn't that he didn't want to get involved, but that Klein was involved in this matter, and he had to avoid it in order to avoid being involved again.

  so.

  Roy came to Essinger, naturally, not to enter the circle of "Eye of Wisdom", but to ask him to help introduce Darkwill.

  This requirement is not high and can be solved by spending some gold pounds or knowledge.

  After sitting in the car for a while, he came to the door of Detective Essinger's house and rang the doorbell outside.

  After a while, Essinger opened the door.

  He seemed a little older than before, his mental state seemed not to be very good, and his astral body also revealed a strong sense of fatigue and boredom.

  but.

  The moment he saw Roy, this emotion quickly turned into "joy".
