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

Chapter 122 Bernadette’s Journey to the Palace

"Queen of Mystery?"

Carl helped the members of the Heart of Machinery who were still fighting. Only after the battle was completely over did he know what had happened.

A strong man suspected of being the mysterious queen stopped this divine descent.

Why does the Queen of Mystery participate in preventing the true Creator from coming?

but.

Even if the Storm Lord noticed this for some reason later and prevented the lunatics from escaping in time, if it weren't for the Mysterious Queen, this time it might have been a terrible catastrophe.

"Mr. Carl..."

"Count the wounded. We suffered heavy losses this time, but being able to prevent their divine descent is already a very good result."

Karl glanced elsewhere, trying not to let others see the emotion in his eyes.

This time it was successful though.

but.

It had nothing to do with them, someone was prepared in advance, otherwise they and the Nighthawks might be wiped out.

Fortunately.

He never came down.

Everyone nodded in silence and went to count the number of people and treat the wounded.

Karl sat on a stone pier, thinking about the previous figure.

Elements of Dawn people?
He thought, then sighed softly.

In order to deal with the Aurora Society, he seemed to have killed more people.

but.

If he hadn't asked Ying to join forces with the Nighthawks to deal with the Aurora Society, the Nighthawks' team might have been wiped out now.

Karl didn’t know whether to be grateful or to blame himself.

……

Elsewhere, Roy gasped and sat weakly on the ground.

Recalling the scene just now, he still felt a little frightened.

After the divine surrender failed, Mr. A kept chasing him, as if he wanted to kill him before giving up.

Roy couldn't help it.

Although he has various means, facing a powerful shepherd, all means are pale, so he can only place his hope in the "Knowledge Spell".

A babbling spell?

Useless.

Mr. A's resistance is so strong that he can endure all kinds of nonsense and indoctrination, and after trying it once or twice, the other party knows how to defend himself.

Faced with such a desperate situation, Roy could only use the last resort.

A carefully prepared spell.

In it, he intercepted the pronunciation similar to that of the real Creator in the mysterious palace, and yelled it in a reorganized and blurred form——

Leodero!

In fact, it's not exactly the same word, but the pronunciation is very similar. If Roy hadn't been able to turn the ravings of the true Creator into written pronunciation on paper, he really wouldn't have been able to endure the dismantling of each word of the curse.

of course.

There is no way for this thing to directly cause the Storm Lord to launch a lightning strike.

What it does...

As "The Lord of Mysteries" said, it was just to make the Lord of Storms pay more attention to the situation here and attract his attention.

Then.

Whose voice is the most attractive?

Of course the True Creator.

It turns out Roy had the right idea.

Even though it was just an extremely fuzzy cutting sound, it still attracted the attention of the Storm Lord, and he sent down thunder to flood the place.

Unfortunately.

Mr. A used his teleportation ability and escaped from here, leaving only his flesh and blood clone.

of course.

This is also related to Leodro's inactivity.

Roy guessed that the other party's eyes may have been quickly attracted by the remaining divine descending ritual over there, so he did not go after Mr. A.

"Are you ok?"

"It's okay, thank you, Ms. Sharon."

Roy stood up.

Sharon was silent for a moment and said: "He wants to kill you, and I can't stop him."

The shepherd was the most terrifying, strange, and difficult enemy she had ever dealt with. The enemy was not afraid of getting hurt at all.

Second.

The ability to possess someone is not very effective for the other party, and she will hear terrible murmurs after being possessed.

Especially after the failure of the divine descent, the babble was almost like thunder, and Sharon immediately retreated in fear after possessing it.

Stay for a while longer...

She could be subject to horrific contamination.

"It doesn't matter. I believe you have tried your best. Shepherd is very powerful and comprehensive. Basically no one can match them under Sequence 5."

not to mention.

The True Creator must be angry this time.

in particular.

Mr. A was almost absent at the critical moment, and he was allowed to pass as a variable.

This may be the reason why Mr. A went after Roy crazily.

Roy sat on the ground, wiping cold sweat.

He also floated down at that time, and then saw Lan Erwusi coming out, so he used the ability of the twisting ring to try to intercept and twist it.

but.

When Lanruth woke up in the first place, it had little to do with him, but with the mysterious queen's handiwork.

He stood up and stood at the corner of the bridge area, looking back at the pier, and faintly saw a figure standing there sluggishly.

Then, the man turned around and left silently.

It was Klein.

Roy didn't go over.

Keeping distance is good for everyone, but if he comes closer, it may lead to some unnecessary coincidences.

Sharon glanced over there, and then said, "He's here too?"

"Well, maybe he has a grudge against the Aurora Society, or some kind of commission. You also know that he is a detective. I heard that he is getting more and more famous now."

Roy laughed.

Sharon was silent for a moment, and then said: "The lady is here, you should be safe."

"Thank you, Miss Sharon."

"It's nothing."

After Sharon finished speaking, she turned into a shadow and disappeared in the air.

After a few seconds, the pea vine drooped and Bernadette appeared in front of him.

Roy saluted immediately.

"Miss……"

"You helped me a lot this time. To be honest, I didn't expect that they had gone to this level."

Bernadette looked at the Bridge District and the East District.

Then, she sighed and said, "The workers in these factories seem to have become the best breeding ground for Him, making it easier for Him to come."

"There is nothing we can do about it. No one can stop the trend."

Roy sighed.

industrialization……

It is the general trend of this era that no one can stop, including wars and a series of other contradictions, which are essentially caused by it.

Russell brought advanced technology, but also brought a series of problems and wars that he himself could not solve.

unless--

He truly became the Black Emperor, instead of his current half-dead and tainted state.

"Yes."

Bernadette opened her mouth and finally fell silent.

"I plan to leave Backlund temporarily in the near future. It may last for a while. Will you stay here or go to carry out my commission?"

"I will stay in Backlund for the time being, but I may take the Mohan family's ship to Feysac later."

Roy replied.

Bernadette raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you going to find Virginia?"

"No, I just went to see if there is such a place and listen to the legends about it."

Roy explained with a smile.

Bernadette nodded slightly, and then said: "If you encounter trouble, you can say my honorable name."

"Madam, is it still the same honorific name as before?"

"Yes, if there is a change, I will have a messenger bring it to you."

Bernadette said.

Then she pulled out a book and what looked like an astrology.

Roy was puzzled.

Is this Cattleya's?
It should not be.

Then why...

Is it related to the promotion to Sequence 5?
He secretly guessed.

The next moment, Bernadette said: "Your contribution is very high. Logically speaking, even giving you the potion is worth it, but I don't have the Sequence 5 potion materials on hand, so I will give you this book, which contains the potion formula." .”

You have extraordinary characteristics.

I can separate.

Roy wanted to say this, but this was his secret, and if he said it, it might cause unimaginable changes.

He took the astrology device and the book.

The name of the book is...

"Comprehensive Astrology".

He opened it and took a look. On the title page was written some introduction to the stars, some of which he had come into contact with and remembered before, and some of which had been instilled in him.

of course.

In the form of reading.

Roy asked: "Are they related to promotion sequence 5?"

"Yes, starting from Sequence 5, in addition to the corresponding magic potion, each promotion also requires additional promotion rituals to stabilize itself."

Bernadette said, "For example, I stayed in Backlund because I hope to find opportunities for promotion here."

It seems that the Queen of Mystery is in a good mood, and she patiently explained so much to me...

Roy thought of this and plucked up the courage to ask his most curious question.

"Madam, I want to know why you asked Mr. Hyde to come to Tingen to find me."

He has always been curious.

Bernadette originally asked Hyde to go to Tingen and come directly to find her. This direction was too clear and made him feel very strange.

hearing this question...

Bernadette did not answer immediately, but turned to look at him, and then said softly: "There are not many reasons. One is that your ancestors have some relationship with me."

Green?

Roy confirmed a doubt and conjecture.

He is indeed related to Green!Then, he thought for a while and said, "My ancestors were also secret peepers?"

"Yes, he once reached a higher level, but in the end he disappeared without knowing what happened."

Bernadette said, "I established Element Dawn for two purposes. One is to help and unite the Secret Peepers to fight against the Hidden Sage, and the other is to find him."

"There should be another one, right?"

"Yes, I saw you praying to the Hidden Sage and becoming half a voyeur."

Bernadette replied.

Roy was in a daze for a while, and then gave a gentle salute to express his gratitude.

original……

The reason is so simple?
indeed.

Calculating the time when Mr. Hyde came from the south, the time when Bernadette asked him to set off should be the time when the predecessor held the ceremony.

This is more consistent.

He had a sense of deja vu as if he was battling with the air.

Roy thought about it, then picked up the astrology device and looked at it curiously.

It doesn't seem to be an extraordinary item.

but.

Faintly, Roy felt that it was special and had a certain difference.

"Is there anything special about it?"

"do not know."

Bernadette shook her head.

what?
Roy had a look of confusion on his face.

"This is something from your ancestor. He left it to me. I have been researching it for many years without any results, so I give it to you."

Bernadette replied, "Maybe it will show up differently in you. If you find the answer, you can tell me."

"I will, ma'am."

Roy's mouth twitched slightly, but he still maintained his demeanor and did not break the defense directly.

The next moment, Bernadette ascended with the pea vines.

Arriving at another place, Bernadette looked down from above, and then sighed softly.

She didn't say it completely.

At that moment, she did see Roy perform the ceremony, but more than that, she also saw a subtle change in fate.

Although she didn't know the reason, it probably had something to do with Roy.

and so.

She just asked Hyde to go to Tingen.

but.

Some secrets may be better left undisclosed by everyone.

Afterwards, she silently realized her own changes.

Bernadette can feel——

She has a connection with the spirit world, and the event of "preventing the coming of gods" has been closely linked to her, which means that she has fulfilled the requirements of the ritual.

Next, just take the magic potion of the "Sage" to complete the promotion.

This is normally the case.

but.

The higher you get, the more careful you have to be with promotions.

This is true even if it has been completely digested, but the best time to take the potion is right after the contact is made.

A while will pass...

This connection may weaken, and although it is effective, it may not be as strong as it is now.

Bernadette hesitated.

Finally, she sealed the two things and walked silently to her temporary residence in Backlund.

……

Roy, who ran all the way, finally returned home on foot.

Because it's too late.

Also.

The bridge area has been sealed off. It is impossible for any carriage to get out of the bridge area. If you want to leave, you can only use extraordinary abilities.

After returning to his home on Rose Flower Street, he immediately ascended to the Mysterious Hall and divined the risks of bringing the astrology instrument up.

Final confirmation--

no risk.

You can bring it up.

Roy returned to reality, sent the astrology to the Mystic Hall as a sacrifice, and then used the Mystic Hall to gain insight into its information.

however.

The result left Roy confused.

Even if you go to the Mysterious Palace, it is still just an astrology instrument, without anything mysterious about it.

Bernadette thinks too much?

Roy guessed.

Then, he thought about it and sighed softly.

Anyway.

At least it won't do any harm to oneself, and Sequence 5 is an astrologer, so he can act in advance even if he can't point with these things.

He laughed to himself, then put down his things, and habitually opened the star map to see if anyone called him.

First is Klein...

Ok.

This guy had a lot of troubles, and he probably wanted to pray for his help so that he could go to Ganglanerwus, but the mysterious queen solved it directly.

He ignored it and looked at the other stars.

I glanced at it and was about to close it when a huge star point suddenly expanded.

This--

This was the first time he saw such a huge star point.

Compared with the surrounding stars, it is as eye-catching as a moon, which can be noticed at a glance.

Who is this?
Roy extended his spirituality and tried to spy on the other party's identity information through the power of the mysterious palace and star map.

Then, an identity information jumped into his mind.

Bernadette Gustave.

The mysterious queen who just parted!
Roy was stunned. He didn't expect that the star represented her. He didn't know whether he should pull her up.

"It was a surprise."

"Do you want to pull me up?"

He hesitated.

Bernadette, who has the ability of "prophecy", is not so easy to fool, and the opponent will soon become a higher sequence——

Sequence 2, Sage.

Roy was hesitating, then recalling the original trajectory, and then suddenly thought of something.

Bernadette still doesn't know the truth about Russell's transformation into the Black Emperor.

She was still searching for answers, and her mood was not as firm as before.

Perhaps Bernadette wanted to get the answer to this question, so she initiated the connection with the Mysterious Hall?
Roy secretly guessed.

After thinking for a long time, he gritted his teeth and made a decision.

It's done!

Based on the abilities currently displayed by the Mysterious Hall, the Mysterious Queen, who is currently only at Sequence 3, should be able to block her.

If Bernadette was already Sequence 2 at this time, he wouldn't even think about it.

Because in Sequence 2, the opponent already has information capabilities, which is very difficult to deal with and may expose some of its secrets.

The next moment, Bernadette's figure emerged from the temple through the huge star point.

……

When Bernadette returned to her residence, she was thinking repeatedly about Russell's later years and looking through the notes in her hand.

result.

The next moment, she noticed something strange.

very hidden.

If she had not completed the ritual and was in a very mysterious state, Bernadette might not be able to sense it.

But then-

The knowledge around her was activated and turned into a torrent of information, wrapping and engulfing her, and being swept up together.

Soon.

When Bernadette opened her eyes again, what she saw was a magnificent palace, with extremely high bookshelves displayed around the palace.

The bookshelves are full of books of all kinds.

That’s all valuable knowledge!
This is the palace of knowledge.

Bernadette was surprised, but she didn't dare to touch it. After all, the more mysterious the place, the more likely it was that there was danger hidden there.

and.

I was still in Backlund just now.

She looked ahead cautiously.

A human figure composed of a torrent of information stood in front of her. She suddenly stood upside down with all the hair on her body, and her head went blank.

she……

It seems that I encountered a hidden sage?
Bernadette was so frightened that she couldn't move. After a few seconds, she gradually came to her senses.

The other party does not seem to be a hidden sage.

At least.

His style is different from that of the evil god who was crazily indoctrinated.

"Hello, great being."

She tried to say hello, trying to get more information from the other person's response.

"You can call me a hermit."

Roy chuckled.

"Mr. Hermit, you and the Hidden Sage... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be blasphemous."

In the middle of asking, Bernadette quickly lowered her head and did not dare to ask anymore, because she felt a huge threat, this threat...

It was as if this temple could swallow her up at any time.

The aggregation of extraordinary characteristics?

Fortunately, this is the spiritual world.Otherwise, I would definitely be sweating by now.

Bernadette thought to herself.

"He is not truly a hermit."

Roy smiled lightly.

Isn't He a real hermit?
Bernadette opened her eyes slightly, with an incredible look on her face.

Hidden Sage…

Isn’t it considered a “hermit” level?

So what's going on with this guy?
Her thoughts were complicated, but she quickly gathered her spirit and thoughts, lowered her head and said: "Your Excellency, what is the reason why you summoned me?"

"I like to exchange knowledge. You can use knowledge or fulfill my conditions to exchange for the answers you need."

Roy smiled lightly and said, "And your state is very special, which happened to be noticed by me."
