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

Chapter 123 The Secret of the Black Emperor
Bernadette was slightly surprised, and then hesitated for a while.

She completed the ceremony and was at a level where she could choose to be promoted to Sequence 2, but she vaguely felt that if she chose to be promoted at this time, she might encounter failure...

This wonderful foresight and luck had helped her overcome difficulties several times, but this time it fell on herself.

The other party was able to pull her up quietly, which is enough to prove his power and mystery. Even if he is not a hidden sage, he may not be kind -

The faint sense of engulfment and assimilation brought about by this temple is the biggest example.

Bernadette didn't dare to make any unusual movements, let alone raise her head to pry.

She lowered her head, thinking about the questions she should ask——

After thinking for a long time, Bernadette gritted her teeth and said: "I want to know whether my father Russell Gustave is dead or not, and what happened to him in his later years?"

After asking, her eyes focused.

This was the question that lingered in her mind tonight.

This was the thorn in her heart that kept her in a state of hatred and disgust for so many years, but deep down in her heart, she longed for the truth.

That is.

Russell's choice back then had another hidden meaning.

perhaps.

Is it this question, as well as his relationship with the Hidden Sage and Russell, that attracted the attention of this being?

She couldn't be sure, but it was obvious that she had interests that the other party wanted to gain, otherwise there was no need for a hidden existence to see her.

Bernadette calmed down and became confident.

At least.

I shouldn't die here.

“What knowledge or price would I need to pay in exchange for the answer to this question?”

"This involves deep secrecy, and you need to pay a big price,"

Roy smiled lightly.

"for example?"

"A card of blasphemy."

"..."

Bernadette lowered her head and understood the other party's intention.

The mysterious card of blasphemy given to her by Russell.

Every blasphemous card is extremely precious and contains huge secrets. The knowledge on it can be exchanged for huge benefits just by looking at it.

The other party didn't know where she learned that she had the blasphemy card in her hand...

Do not!
It is too easy for these secretive beings to know that they have the card of blasphemy.

After all, his surname is Gustav.

Bernadette was silent and hesitant.

She relied on the knowledge in the card and the gifts left behind to establish the current "Elemental Dawn", so she could not hand over the "Hermit" card no matter what.

But she has other cards up her sleeve.

Then.

The final question is simplified to...

The answer, the Card of Blasphemy.

Which is more important?
Bernadette no longer hesitated and said: "I can use the 'Wheel of Fortune' in exchange."

The wheel of fate?

This means...

The hermit card is not negotiable?

Roy flicked his fingers and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm only interested in the blasphemy card, it doesn't matter which one."

"If you achieve anything, may I know the secret of the Card of Blasphemy?"

Bernadette demanded.

Roy smiled and said, "It depends on your attitude."

My attitude?

No.

Maybe it's Element Dawn's attitude.

Bernadette took a deep breath and said, "There is no doubt that we are firmly opposed to the Hidden Sage and his Moss Ascetic Order."

"can."

Roy smiled lightly.

Bernadette nodded and said: "To show my sincerity, I can sacrifice the Wheel of Fortune card first. How can I give it to you?"

Roy narrowed his eyes.

"You just need to return to reality, arrange the altar, and recite 'Hermit' repeatedly in your mind."

"Yes."

The next moment, Bernadette returned to her residence.

She sat in her seat, hesitating whether to continue the transaction.

Keep trading…

There may be danger, but there may also be opportunities, and if this hermit really has the same personality as the "Hidden Sage".

Then people who are looking into the secrets of the Dawn of Elements will have a new way out, and it is possible to avoid the pain and danger of "knowledge drives people away".

but.

Once it's a trap——

Bernadette closed her eyes and reviewed the situation just now, finally thinking that this possibility was not high.

The other person seemed to mean well.

She went through the ceremony and took out the sealed "Wheel of Fortune" card, and then performed the sacrificial ceremony without any prayers...

I can only say "Hermit" silently in my heart.

And this time.

In the mysterious palace, Roy arranged numerous rituals to strengthen the connection between himself and Bernadette——

This ability has been verified by Lovia, and it can indeed strengthen the connection, and the prayers and rituals themselves are only to strengthen the connection between the two.

When the other party repeats "hermit" silently.

This connection was further strengthened. Roy leveraged the power of the Mystic Palace, took the "Wheel of Fortune" card from the altar, and brought Bernadette to the Mystic Palace.

Back in the Mysterious Hall, Roy took the "Wheel of Fortune", turned it over and over, and then smiled softly.

Bernadette was curious in her heart and stood there quietly waiting for the answer.

Then, he heard a low laugh: "When Russell created it, it must have been contaminated by a high level, but he mistakenly thought it was his own ability."

"My father was already the Emperor of Knowledge at that time. Even a hidden sage wouldn't be able to pollute him, right?"

Bernadette's first reaction was disbelief.

however.

But the other party smiled and said: "The hidden sage is not qualified. I am referring to the existence above the starry sky."

Above the stars?

Bernadette's beautiful eyes widened slightly.

"This part of the knowledge is very dangerous. Just knowing it will attract attention. All you need to know is that all your father's actions are related to his being contaminated."

Roy replied.

Bernadette still didn't quite believe it in her heart.

Her wise and powerful father was actually tainted to the point of committing various unwise actions later on, but...

After comparing it, she felt it was reasonable.

If it were not for pollution, it would not be able to explain the various strange operations of her father, who she considered to be a wise and wise father, in his later years.

At this time, an indifferent voice came from above.

"As long as a new Black Emperor does not appear, the previous Black Emperor will not truly die. Russell wants to use this characteristic to eliminate pollution."

"pity."

"He doesn't know what his contamination means."

original……

The truth turned out to be like this!
Bernadette's heart exploded like thunder.

All this was so shocking to her that she didn't respond for a long time, her mind was in chaos.

After thinking confusedly for a long time, she said dullly: "Then, then..."

Wouldn't that say.

Father is not dead yet?

Bernadette was filled with surprises and asked hopefully: "Then my father is not dead yet?"

"Ah."

Roy threw the "Wheel of Fortune" on the bookshelf aside, as if he didn't care at all, and then said softly, "Come here, for its sake, I will give you two as a gift."

"Please instruct."

Bernadette bowed her head respectfully.

Roy said calmly: "First, don't touch the moon and mother cards. Second, Loen's royal family is preparing for the promotion ceremony of the Black Emperor."

what?
Bernadette was confused, and then her eyes suddenly collapsed.

Later, she found herself back at her residence, as if it was just a dream, but the disappearing "Wheel of Fortune" showed that it was all real.

The great being known as "The Hermit" met her.

"The Hermit should be the competitor of the Hidden Sage. They are all competing for the divine position above. The Hidden Sage has a special status, while the Hermit has a special palace..."

Bernadette secretly thought.

Then, she sighed softly and thought about the content of the conversation in the hall.

The huge amount of information was too much for her to handle in the palace. When she returned to reality, she started from scratch.

"My father was tainted in the stage of the Emperor of Knowledge."

"Afterwards, he wanted to remove the pollution and forcibly jumped to become the Black Emperor. This is also the reason why he pursued power and war at the end of his career."

"In the end, the Black Emperor was unable to remove the pollution——"

It's terrible!
Even Sequence 0 cannot remove the pollution. No wonder this hermit is so secretive that he dare not tell himself about the pollution.

As the other party said.

In a very secret place, she would be fine even if she knew, but once she returns to reality with the knowledge, she might attract the attention of that being.

When……

She won't end up any better than her father.

Bernadette played with an ornament unconsciously, and then a determined smile appeared on her face.

Now my father still has a glimmer of hope!
and.

He did not lose himself for power, he just wanted to save himself and get rid of pollution. It is conceivable that pollution at that level cannot be eliminated by simple suicide.

Today's father may still be fighting against madness.

"You must become stronger!" "Only by becoming stronger can it be possible to save him, such as destroying the promotion of the 'Loen Royal Family'. Before that, you may be able to use the power of these great beings."

When a new black emperor appears, the old black emperor will die.

This is the rule mentioned by the hermit.

and.

She knew very well how many disasters and catastrophes would occur if she wanted to become the Black Emperor. This was the case with Backlund now.

Under the seemingly prosperous water surface is the best soil for evil gods.

She must prevent Roen from being promoted to the emperor. To do this, she must become Sequence 2 or even higher.

Bernadette's determination was unprecedentedly determined, and she realized that the best state for her promotion had arrived.

"Thank you, great hermit."

No matter what your purpose is, at least this time, you really helped me.

Bernadette shuttled and left Backlund.

……

"The wheel of fate."

Roy pinched the card in his hand, changed from his previous calmness and disdain, and held it preciously in his hand.

It was indeed a bold adventure for La Bernadette to come up. His confidence lies in his connection with the mysterious palace and having the knowledge and answers that Bernadette needs.

Asking for a card is also to make everything seem reasonable.

Too bad it's not the "hermit" card.

If you get it, you don't have to worry about the formula before you become a god.

but.

no way.

It was impossible for Bernadette to take out the Hermit card, and his status and level did not allow him to care too much about the "Hermit" card.

Wheel of Fortune is also acceptable.

Through the cards of the Wheel of Fortune, he can exert certain special abilities, just like Klein used the Black Emperor card to perform some strange operations.

Although I don't know how to make paper people and can't conjure paper angels, the most important thing about the hermit's path is information and spiritual numbers.

Information flow bombing has the same effect.

Roy couldn't help laughing when he thought of this.

"I crossed the river by touching Klein, and now Klein is crossing the river by touching me."

"Haha."

Then gradually, his laughter stopped and turned into a sigh.

The more powerful you are, the more terrifying the threats and madness you face.

Like Russell.

He thought he was the son of destiny, but in the end he had to choose suicide to cut off the pollution. The same was true for Mr. Men.

The King of Angels even yelled to death his own descendants.

If it weren't for the various threats, as well as the hidden secrets and strange situations, Roy would rather choose to stay in a certain sequence.

Maybe not powerful, but life is worry-free.

This emotion only stayed for a moment, and Roy got rid of it on his own, then held the Wheel of Fortune card in one hand and the astrology device in the other.

After further confirmation, the planetarium indeed has no special abilities.

But since it was left by "Green", it must have special meaning, maybe it is the key to a certain place.

"The key?"

Roy pondered, thinking of the place names he heard when he was promoted to Sequence 6.

Virginia.

The mysterious place of Fusac.

Could it be the key to the path to "Forgania"?

If so, then there should be an "astrology chart" somewhere -

The basis of astrolabe divination is the astrolabe, but based on the knowledge Roy absorbed from "Astrology Analysis", there is a more advanced astrolabe divination in astrology.

It needs to be combined with the astrolabe, astrology and horoscopes at the same time to achieve it.

According to the book, at that time point, the diviner can get stronger guidance, so the question arises——

Astrological signs.

Is it worth believing what comes up from the stars?
Roy shook his head and placed the astrology device in the mysterious palace, not intending to really find its secrets.

This may be a trap.

after all.

According to current information, both Green and Russell were contaminated, and their final endings were similar, but different from their original memories——

The ending of the original Grimm was clear.

He died in the Sea of ​​Mist and never returned to land. Russell still lamented and lamented in his diary, regretting Green's death, and claimed that they could have arranged better things if Green was here.

but.

He could not find this part of the diary in Russell's diary in this life.

Green's fate has obviously changed, and it may be related to him, which is becoming more and more obvious from the information Bernadette told him.

Roy organized his thoughts and couldn't find any more clues for a while.

but.

He had already seen the potion formula in the book.

"Sequence 5, Astrologer."

"Extraordinary material: a piece of star crystal, the core of an ancient ghost."

"Auxiliary materials: 5 grams of hexagonal crystal powder, 10 grams of ancient ghost dust, 100 ml of any fairy spring water, 8 golden bell flower petals."

"Promotion ritual: when the corresponding horoscope occurs, take the magic potion amidst the cry of the three-eyed night crow."

Three-eyed night crow.

Roy searched for memories related to this creature in his mind, and finally found a record about it in "Astrology Analysis".

"The three-eyed night crow has a tuft of white hair that grows just in the middle of its head, forming an eye-like shape with the surrounding black."

"It is very curious about the starry sky and will often bark for an hour when a certain star appears."

Is this to connect oneself with the stars through the stars and the night crow, to achieve the purpose of releasing the magic of the stars?

Roy pondered, then sighed, returning to reality.

It is useless to think more.

Now he has just reached Sequence 6. Let alone the Three-Eyed Night Crow, he has not yet decided where to play Professor Scroll.

Professor Scroll.

This professor should be synonymous with "rich in knowledge". He does not really need to be a professor to teach others knowledge.

That is what the savant, the master of the occult, needs to do.

Roy sat at his desk and thought for a long time, and finally felt that he should study and broaden his knowledge to master more scroll knowledge——

No matter how the sequence of the secret-seeing path changes, mysterious knowledge is still its core pursuit after all.

"Draw a scroll."

"The Hunting Moss Dervish, the wool comes from the sheep, and the materials have to be found from them in the end."

"And there is."

Roy wrote them down one by one in his notebook, paused for a moment when he reached the third item, and then wrote——

“Build your own network.”

He's already doing this.

Tilly and Gary are all part of his network, and it's hard to say whether they will become his followers and anchors in the future.

But at least something came from nothing.

It's just a little barren.

As for Silver City, if you can fight for it, fight for it. If you can't win, there's nothing you can do.

Having made a plan, Roy raised his lips slightly.

These things can be done together, and it doesn't take much time. Once you stabilize your condition, you can go to sea.

Faster than expected.

The next day, there were ten scrolls stacked on his desk, five of which were stacked together, and the remaining five were divided into three and two stacked.

Five water wave scrolls.

Three exorcism scrolls.

Two flame scrolls.

Roy has mastered all three types of scrolls, among which the water wave scroll is the most proficient. The level of the exorcism scroll and the flame scroll is not very different.

but.

In just one day's work, he was able to create a flame scroll and an exorcism scroll, which was already a very good progress.

In the afternoon, Roy had a meal outside. When he came back, he had a newspaper in his hand. The headline read -

The Aurora Society has carried out horrific evil rituals in the East District, Bridge District, and Dockside area of ​​Backlund, killing countless people. Mr. A and Mr. Z of the Aurora Society are now wanted across the country.

"Ha ha."

Roy put the newspaper aside with a sneer on his face.

……

In the huge bronze hall, Klein was sitting on a chair, with a vague figure standing on his right.

"Hello, Mr. Fool."

The other party's voice was low and he bowed to salute.

Klein raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said with a low smile: "Hello, Mr. World."

……

At three o'clock in the afternoon, a deep red light enveloped several five people in different places at the same time.

In the giant bronze palace, Roy opened his eyes.

Then, he saw one more person on the opposite side, and sitting in a position on their side was a vague figure.

Two new people in one go?

The Hanged Man raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised.

The growth rate of Tarot Society suddenly accelerated.

but.

Will they be the subjects of the investigation that Miss Justice mentioned?
Alger looked across.

The person sitting next to "Justice" looks very short, less than 1.6 meters tall, but we can't rule out the possibility that the other person is disguised.

As for the guy next to me.

He couldn't see the other person's features at all.
