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

Chapter 125 The mysterious queen protects me

Klein was taken aback.

original……

Roy has been hiding from him lately?

No wonder he went to the other party's house several times but never felt Roy's presence.

He thought it was a coincidence. It turned out that Roy thought there were traces of manipulation by the quill around him, so he didn't want to meet him.

Then, he controlled the marionette to make thinking movements.

indeed.

Recently, some people and things related to him seem to be not quite right.

Roy, Azik, Captain...

Roy lightly tapped the table and said: "There are some things I dare to say only under the protection of Mr. Fool, otherwise it will be known. Klein, have you come into contact with the witch?"

"Witch?"

"Yes, the Queen of Mystery once reminded me that things related to witches seem to be getting weird in Backlund now."

Roy replied.

Klein was stunned, recalling the witches he might have come into contact with.

A few seconds later, "The World" looked up: "I joined a club and received a commission inside. The commission was to investigate a commoner woman that a prince met."

"She may be a witch, and she is very important to the witch sect. Maybe you can ask the omnipotent Mr. Fool for help."

Roy said, looking upward and giving a slight salute to Mr. Fool.

Klein used a clown expression to forcefully control himself, preventing him from showing any changes in emotions or expressions.

Looking at Roy, who looked serious, calm and thoughtful, he didn't know what to say.

The other party may really feel that Mr. Fool can protect him, but the fact is that he, Mr. Fool, can hardly sustain his spiritual loss.

Klein still underestimated the sudden increase in spiritual burden.

Fortunately-

This meeting was not too long.

He sighed: "I'll figure it out myself. I can't rely on the great Mr. Fool for everything. This is also the meaning of joining the Tarot Club."

Klein stood up.

"Thank you Roy, you have helped me a lot during this time. I will always remember it, including this time Mr. Fool said he would give me a sum of money..."

"It's nothing. This is the money I sacrificed to Mr. Fool. It's Mr. Fool's freedom to deal with it. It just happened to fall into your hands."

Roy replied with a faint smile, "Don't worry too much. Five thousand gold pounds is a lot, but it's also very little. When you reach Sequence 6 and Sequence 5, the materials will only become more and more valuable. You have to prepare in advance."

"Ah."

"Thank you, Mr. Fool."

Roy saluted, meaning he could be sent back.

The Fool nodded gently.

The next moment, Roy opened his eyes and had returned to reality.

He sat at his desk for a long time.

After Klein created the identity of "The World" through the extraordinary characteristics of "Secret Puppet Master", his first choice was to have a showdown with himself.

Roy was a little surprised.

but.

This also proves that he has fully gained Klein's trust.

It's useless now.

but.

In the future, in the duel between myself and the "Hidden Sage", it may come in handy - at least compared to the crazy Hidden Sage, the self who knows the basics is more worthy of support.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

This Tarot session was very fruitful.

It broadens the channels for monetizing materials and scrolls, and you can also earn some small labor fees——

Even ten scrolls would only bring in less than ten gold pounds.

but.

A weekly salary of 10 pounds is already a very high salary, and it only took Roy two days to burn the full scroll.

"Let's sacrifice it to Mr. Fool first."

"Well, I hope his spirituality can support him at this moment."

……

Above the gray fog, Klein struggled to hold on.

If he hadn't placed a spiritually strengthening ritual magic outside to enhance his mental power and spirituality, he would definitely not be able to sustain it now.

of course.

Completely digesting "Joker" will also make him greatly improved.

Now he still has to wait for the sacrifices of Roy and Audrey.

After a while, an illusory voice sounded.

Then—

He brought up 10 scrolls.

Is this a witchcraft scroll?
Roy's path is just like the wizard in the novel, first with witchcraft and now with scrolls, it's really amazing.

It's a pity that you will be indoctrinated by the Hidden Sage, otherwise this path is also very good.

but.

As a fool, I can help the other party when they can't support it.

Klein smiled and then divined the scroll.

One is the Water Wave Scroll, which can summon relatively powerful water waves and water balls. How to use it depends on your own spirituality and spell control.

The second type is an apotropaic scroll.

The third type of flame scroll.

According to divination, these scrolls indeed have the power of entering Sequence 7 as Roy said.

"I'm really excited, but it's a pity that even the initial scroll still costs 10 pounds a piece, which is almost more than a week's salary of mine."

Klein enviously passed the scroll to Audrey.

Soon.

Audrey also sacrificed her own money.

Ten thousand and one hundred pounds.

Ten thousand was for him and Roy, and the extra hundred was the money for the scroll.

He withheld the five thousand gold pounds and transferred all the rest to Roy. Looking at the dazzling array of five thousand gold pounds, Klein could not contain his excitement for a moment.

but.

Thinking of what Roy said, he collapsed instantly.

The higher you go, the more expensive the materials become.

Five thousand gold pounds is a huge amount of money for him at Sequence 8, but at Sequence 6 and Sequence 5, he may still not be able to afford the materials for an entire potion.

Still too poor.

Klein quickly returned to reality.

In reality, the materials used in ritual magic have been reduced to powder, and they have completely lost their effectiveness.

……

For the next week, Roy barely left the house.

The same operation of writing scrolls, collecting materials, and writing scrolls was carried out over and over again, and his scrolls were quickly sold for cash.

One is the Tarot Club channel.

The other is the channel of the Mohan family caravan.

With the help of the two, his scroll proficiency is also improving rapidly, and the power of the current scroll is much higher than before.

Compared with witchcraft, the convenience of scrolls is that it consumes less when used, has quick effects, and does not need to carry various material powders.

Continuous research and study of the scrolls allowed Roy to initially digest part of the potion.

Although there is no substantial improvement, he no longer needs to deliberately restrain his spirituality, and he can no longer hear the layers of nonsense.

The indoctrination of the Hidden Sages continues.

but.

After a week, there is only one useful book——

To be precise, half a book.

"Partial Selection of Materials".

This book explains the use of corpse materials to realize some necromantic witchcraft and scroll configurations.

The hidden sage is tempting Roy to touch the corpse!

and so.

Roy sealed it directly.

He ignored whatever the Hidden Sage asked him to do, but he accepted all the knowledge and witchcraft.

If there is material that happens to be obtained, he can use it to release it, but deliberately collect it?
That's it.

Ignore, don't help, don't refuse.

This is his voyeuristic motto!

For the next three or four days, Roy basically didn't go out and kept studying materials, ink configuration and scroll writing at home.

On Friday, the peaceful life was shattered.

Gary is here.

Roy poured a cup of tea and looked at Gary with a smile.

"You've changed a lot."

"This is thanks to your help. If it weren't for your magic potion, I might just be a mediocre lawyer now."

Gary smiled bitterly.

"It seems that your legal career has not been peaceful."

Roy said with a smile.

Gary nodded, and then began to complain and talk about his troubles.

"I am now an assistant. First, someone came to ask if I could get more compensation for work-related injuries and disabilities, but I looked through the information and found no such protection."

"Then I encountered a case where a family member died tragically. They wanted me to help, but it was the police's job and there was nothing I could do."

"After that, I helped many people answer their legal questions, but I knew that I couldn't help them. I felt like I couldn't do anything."

Gary looked confused.

It’s just that after working for less than a week, he seems to have accumulated a lot of emotions, which is a problem that lawyers will encounter sooner or later.

Roy was silent for a moment, then sighed softly.

"Gary, you are a conscientious nobleman, but this is Loen, this is the general trend, and you are destined to be unable to do anything."

In such a world of extraordinary people, even high-status angels and true gods have many things that are difficult to do.

not to mention.

They are just sequence 6 and sequence 9.

Gary was confused: "Then Mr. Green, should we just do nothing?"

"Of course not, but you are too weak. To change this situation, you need to become stronger."

Roy took a sip of tea and then added, "Not only in terms of extraordinary abilities, but also your own knowledge, literacy and abilities."

"Is that possible?" Gary asked.

Roy shook his head: "I don't know, but I can definitely do more than what I am doing now."

Gary Zabia fell into deep thought, then nodded slightly: "I understand."

He thought for a long time, then slapped his forehead.

"That's right! I didn't come here to talk about this. Mr. Green, the person you were waiting for has appeared!"

"Oh?"

Roy suddenly became interested, "From the Morse Trappist Order?"

"I once saw Dilin meet with a middle-aged man who was about 40 or [-] years old. Although they made up a story, I found that they were lying."

Gary explained.

"What is his identity now?"

Roy was in no hurry to go.

Gary came out, which means that the other party must have left. Now, in the past, he would just miss everything and find nothing.

"He calls himself Arifer, a history professor at Backlund University, and he's here to apply for the position of tutor."

Gary said.

Roy thought for a few seconds and said, "Where is your father? Didn't he say before that he would send her to the Church of Storms?"

"So that's the case, but the Church of Storms seems to be very busy recently. They just sent a priest over, took a quick look at it, said it was okay, and left."

When Gary said this, he raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said with a smile, "I think maybe the Church of Storms has encountered some trouble."

The true Creator is trying to come, and Old Storm Dove is of course anxious.

Roy cursed.

When it comes to the coming of the true Creator, which gods are more anxious, they must be the Eternal Sun, the Lord of Storms, and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom.

"By the way, this is the portrait I copied."

Gary pulled out a piece of paper.

The above is a simple drawing, which looks quite abstract. It is almost impossible to recognize the original face through the drawing.

but.

Roy glanced at it and noticed that the broken eyebrow on his forehead was very eye-catching.

It doesn't seem to be natural, more like being slashed.

"He has a scar on his eyebrow?"

"Well, it seems so."

Gary wasn't so sure.

"I see."

Backlund University...

This is really a good way to hide his identity. As an Extraordinary of the secret-peeping path, not to mention other fields.

The language and history must be very good, including Roy himself——

This is due to the crazy indoctrination of the Hidden Sage.

"Gary."

"Sir, tell me."

"Don't get involved too much in their affairs. If you can't stop them, something might happen."

Gary came over in a hurry, obviously hoping that Roy would take action immediately, but...

Dearin's character is there.

If there was no Arifer, there would be others. He dared to conclude that it was probably Dilin who took the initiative to contact the Morse Tradition Society.

"What about Iriver?"

"The Trappist Moss is my enemy and I will deal with him."

"Thank you."

Gary expressed his sincere gratitude.

Although Roy was unwilling to help Dilin, this was not what the other party had to pay. On the contrary, it actually helped the Zabia family by helping him become an Extraordinary and deal with the Moss Ascetic Order.

"It's nothing, he is my goal and my commitment."

Roy held the portrait and looked at it carefully.

After Gary left, he quickly ascended to the Hall of Mysteries and began to divine with the information he had so far.

After a while, the divination failed.

It's not that the other party has strong anti-divination capabilities, but that the information they have is seriously insufficient and cannot be locked through divination.

The information Gary gathered was false.

"The fault in Iriver's eyebrow is real."

After seven consecutive times, the pendant quickly rotates clockwise.

correct!

"Entering Backlund University will be beneficial to my pursuit of the Moss Ascetic Order."

Roy continued to divine.

Seven times in a row.

The pendant turns clockwise again.

correct!

The clues to the Morse Trappist Order are at Backlund University.

This can also be reflected in the divination results.

Roy put away the pendant and took out pen and paper.

"Dear Queen of Mystery, I found out that there is a member of the Moss Ascetic Order at Backlund University. He wants an identity to enter Backlund University. I hope to get your help."

After a while, a fake identity appeared on the table.

Loren Sola.

A scholar from Feneport, and with him a magical item.

Useless mask.

A mask made with the extraordinary characteristics of the Faceless Man. The difference is that the extraordinary items produced by the Faceless Man cannot be changed.

It is permanently fixed on one face.

This is also the origin of the name of this magical object.

Correspondingly, its negative effects are relatively low.

As long as you take it off within 12 hours, and then seal it with spiritual and pure water for more than 8 hours, the negative effects can be offset.

As long as you are not Sequence 4 or above, it is impossible to see the effect of the secret-peeping path.

In addition, Bernadette also noted——

"I have returned to Backlund. If the other party is a high-sequence Beyonder, you can read my honorable name."

"I'll be there as soon as possible."

"Also, you can help me meet Professor Portland and ask about the theft of the exhibition. I was not here two days ago."

……

The next day, at the entrance of Backlund University.

A blond man got out of the car with a smile on his face. When he arrived at the school gate, he took off his hat.

"Hello, I am a scholar from Feneport. I have made an appointment to meet with Professor Portland."

Roy smiled lightly.

The security guard read the invitation and nodded: "Please come in."

Portland Momont.

The professor of Backlund's Department of Mechanical Engineering, the opportunity to meet him was exactly what Bernadette had given her to create a reasonable opportunity for her to enter Backlund University.

and.

Next to the Mechanical Department is the History Department.

Roy pretended to be lost and wandered around the history department building. After a while, he stopped at the entrance to the third floor.

There is a bulletin board here with portraits of teachers posted on it.

From professors, associate professors to teachers, everything was included. Finally, Roy's eyes stopped on a portrait in the lower position.

Eret Frey.

A teacher, his face has nothing to do with the one drawn by Gary, but the severed eyebrow is very eye-catching.

it's him!
Roy raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

At this time, footsteps came from behind.

He turned his head.

I saw an old man walking up and frowning slightly when he saw Roy.

"This is the office, who are you looking for?"

"Sir, I'm looking for Mr. Portland Mormont, but it seems I'm in the wrong building."

Roy apologized.

The old man frowned: "The exterior wall of the History Department is cold black, thick and deep, just like history, while the Mechanical Department is more decorated with gears, steam and other features."

"I see. As expected of Backlund, architecture also opened my eyes."

Roy said with a smile.

"From your accent, you're from Feneport?"

The old man is actually the professor here.

According to the information Roy saw just now, his name is Wainwright Fila, and Luen's professor status is very high, equivalent to the head of the department.

Roy nodded respectfully, and then showed a hint of surprise: "Does my Fenebaud accent have a strong accent?"

"No, you barely have an accent, but as a student of history, I'm sharper than the rest of you in that regard."

Wainwright said proudly.

Roy said in surprise: "Your wisdom is beyond my imagination. I have lived in Loen for more than ten years and thought I had no accent. Unfortunately, I have to see Mr. Portland now..."

"Hahaha, if you are really interested in history, you can come to me after visiting Portland. My office is at the end of this floor."

Wainwright also had a good impression of the handsome man in front of him.

"In that case, I'll come back later."

Roy looked overjoyed, then he saluted respectfully and then went downstairs.

Wainwright smiled and nodded.

When he got downstairs, Roy's lips raised slightly.

Just now, he slightly distorted the other party's "happiness", twisting the happiness from "getting recognition" and "being praised" into the happiness of "feeling like an old friend at first sight".

Facts have proved that the effect is not bad.

Afterwards, he recalled the information about Eret Frey, walked to the Mechanical Department, and immediately went to the bathroom.

In the bathroom, Roy tried fortune telling.

"Erit Frey is Iriver."

After seven consecutive times, the pendant rotates clockwise——

correct!

"It's a pity that I don't know the specific sequence of the other party, but I informed the Queen of Mystery in advance, and she should be free."

Although the other party did not tell me her new honorary name, there is a high probability that the Mysterious Queen has already been promoted to Sequence 2.
