Secret: I, the hermit, want to make progress too much

Chapter 116 Promotion, Professor Scroll

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 digest 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, "As a secret peeper, you need to tirelessly pursue knowledge at every stage, otherwise you will be overwhelmed and swallowed by knowledge."

"No, it is knowledge that keeps chasing us."

Bernadette looked into the deep distance. Her gaze seemed to penetrate space and time. Then, 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 wise tree...

When Roy saw that she had taken out the sap, 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 buys the bark and the sap at the same time, then——

It was easy for Bernadette to think that his seller did not take out such a main material from the inventory, but 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, ma'am."

Roy nodded gratefully, then entered the kitchen and started preparing the potion. After a while, a bottle of strange 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 numbness, followed closely by——

This numb feeling 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——

"Vorgania! Vorgania!"

Virginia?

where is that?
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 calmly, "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 looked up 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……

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

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

"Forgania?"

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

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

Roy explained.

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

"Forganian Owl?"

Roy finally remembered why this place seemed familiar to him.

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

Bernadette nodded.

"The Vorganian Owl is indeed a creature of that place, but there is no such place as Vorganian 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 the answer yet."

When she said this, she looked at Roy and said, "Sometimes, the voice heard by Shengzhang is some kind of revelation, but it can also be a fatal temptation or trap. You need to identify it yourself."

Roy opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Virginia.

Is it...

Virginia is its 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 have something to do with 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 understands——

The Church of Steam may not have the 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 Philosopher's Tree now controlled by the Church of Steam?"

"Many known ones are in their possession, and some may be hidden in the collections of certain organizations, forces or individuals."

Bernadette said.

She looked at Roy and smiled: "I'm curious where you bought it."

"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 it is."

Roy had an "eureka moment."

Bernadette said: "If you want to participate in the action 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 be 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 to attract the attention of the Orthodox Church."

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

and so.

He needs to pay £1500.

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 looked at him deeply.

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

"Need to contribute?"

Roy asked cautiously.

Bernadette smiled and said, "Yes."

"Okay, I'll try."

Roy sighed.

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

It's 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 you get promoted, you can do it sooner or later, and you can even do more...

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

of course.

The result was of course a failure.Scrolls carrying witchcraft also have certain requirements for materials. He guessed that the bark of the Sage Tree, which did not have extraordinary properties, could be used as a material for the scrolls.

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 Introduction to Mastery"

Thanks Hidden Sage!
Roy devoutly praised the hidden sage in the mysterious palace.

If he had been instilled with so much in one breath when he was promoted, he would have cursed the Hidden Sage to death in his heart——

That would greatly increase the chance 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 the book, usually the skin of deep-sea fish or the ink of deep-sea cuttlefish is chosen——

These are cheap material choices.

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.

such as……

You can already have it yourself, 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 use 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 why to make the spell scroll first..."

Roy looked through 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, then the flame scroll and the freezing scroll."

Roy had 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 Hall 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——

write.

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

just.

It’s different from sketching a model in your mind when witchcraft is released...

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

in this way.

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

of course.

These are just simulations in the Mystery Hall.

It’s really time to put it into practice...

You will still encounter various problems.

such as.

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.

Fortunately.

He had expected all this.

Roy bought twenty or thirty copies of the materials.

If he hadn't been worried that he had bought too many things and attracted a lot of people's attention, he would have wanted to buy hundreds of sheepskin 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.

Such a level...

It is impossible to expect it to fight, but everything is difficult at the beginning. Once you master the tips 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-

We still have to find a way to contact Darkwill in reality in a way that doesn't 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.

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's not that he doesn't want to participate, but that Klein is involved in this matter, and he must avoid it in order to avoid being affected again.

and 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".
