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

Chapter 126 Want to know?Hugh, this costs extra money!

"Mr. Portland."

"You are...oh, Mr. Lauren, right? The one who mentioned it to me, haha."

Portland Momont pointed to the seat.

Roy sat down and said, "Mr. Portland, I'm here to express my greetings to you on behalf of that person."

"I have come to discuss your entrustment before. I still mean the same thing. I am not short of money, so I don't want to do business related to you."

Plant said seriously.

He is an appraiser, so he naturally knows that Roy represents the mysterious queen behind him.

Roy replied: "You misunderstood. This time she does not want you to help design or make alloys, but she wants to ask about the steam exhibition at the church."

"exhibition?"

Portland was stunned for a moment, then his face suddenly stiffened, and he coughed lightly, "I'm not very clear about this matter. After all, I'm just a believer, not a member of the church."

"You are an appraiser, a loyal believer of the church, and a world-famous professor. I think you will know the inside story to some extent."

Roy chuckled lightly.

In addition, the professor's expression betrayed himself——

He should know.

As far as he knew, because the professor's wife believed in the goddess of the night, he had contacts with the bishops of the Church of Night and the Church of Steam.

You should know something about this kind of thing.

Portland said helplessly: "Why didn't she ask the bishop of the Church of Steam?"

"I don't know either, I'm just a messenger."

"Well, as far as I know, someone stole two pages of bookmarks, and only lost two pages of bookmarks."

Portland replied.

Immediately, confusion appeared on his face.

"I can't understand the thief's thinking. Since he could sneak into the museum, why did he only steal these two things?"

"understood."

Roy stood up and saluted, "Thank you for the meeting."

"It's nothing. I don't know much about it. If she wants to know more, she has to ask the bishop himself."

Poland Road.

"it is good."

Roy left the office not surprised.

He knew what was going on yesterday.

stolen.

What was stolen was the bookmark...

Needless to say, who did it?

It can only be Klein, that Mr. Fool.

Bernadette left due to promotion and did not appear at the exhibition. Instead, Klein took away the "Black Emperor" card without any incident.

I wonder if he met the devil dog again that night.

Roy left the Mechanical Department and immediately went to the office building of the History Department to visit Mr. Wainwright, whom he had just met.

When Wainwright saw Roy, a look of joy appeared on his face.

"meet again."

"I haven't introduced myself to you yet. My name is Loren Sola. I am from Feneborter. This time I came to Backlund with the Mohan family's fleet."

Roy Road.

A look of nostalgia appeared on Wainwright's face, and then he sighed: "The Mohan family has been around for more than 200 years."

"As you say, they are indeed very long and ancient."

Roy nodded, but he was secretly shocked.

It turns out that the Mohan family has existed for more than 200 years?
Although it is not comparable to those of the Sauron family, it can still be regarded as a relatively powerful family of Beyonders.

"There are many more ancient families than theirs. In order to study history, I once asked a descendant of a big family for advice. His knowledge was beyond my imagination and he knew the history very well..."

Old man Wainwright said as if he was pouring beans.

Roy listened, feeling slightly surprised.

Listen to what the other party means...

His friend, the descendant of that big family, seemed to be a descendant of an ancient big family that had existed for a long time.

but.

Not many meet this condition.

He couldn't help but become curious.

"Mr. Wainwright, I'm a little curious as to what the name of the family you mentioned is so ancient."

"Abraham."

Wainwright said with a smile, "This is a family that has existed since the Fourth Age. They are history themselves."

Roy's face looked shocked, but he was laughing in his heart——

This old gentleman liked to show off his knowledge, so he used the "Ring of Distortion" to amplify the other party's showoff.

But he had to submit, for Abraham was indeed ancient.

"Can you introduce me to your friend? To be honest, I am also very curious about history."

Roy displayed eagerness and a thirst for historical knowledge.

The other party laughed and continued: "My friend will come to Backlund recently, but unfortunately he doesn't like meeting strangers."

"that's too regretful."

Roy sighed.

The old man shrugged and said, "I can't help it. It was just a coincidence that I met him in the first place. Moreover, such a large family is relatively closed and it is difficult to communicate with him."

"You are right."

Roy nodded in agreement, then thought for a moment and asked, "I noticed that you have a Lundborgian here? Can foreigners work here?"

"Lenburg is our ally, but Feneport is not, so if you want to serve here, I'm afraid it won't be possible."

Wainwright nodded, then smiled and praised, "Mr. Errett is very knowledgeable and his lectures are also very interesting. He will definitely reach higher levels in the future."

Of course, he is an extraordinary person who can see the secret path.

Roy was debating whether to say goodbye.

At this time, there was a sound from outside.

"Mr. Wainwright, I am not as good as you said. Compared with you and other teachers, I am still far behind."

The visitor stood at the door, then smiled slightly, "Sorry, you didn't close the door, and I happened to pass by."

He has a tiny scar on his eyebrow.

It was this scar that gave his eyebrows the characteristic break.

"It's nothing. If you don't close the door, it means there is nothing that others cannot know."

Wainwright laughed.

Roy turned his head and saluted with a smile: "Hello Mr. Errett, my name is Lauren Sola, from Fenebor."

"Hello."

The other party looked at him deeply, then left with a smile.

Roy said regretfully: "I like Backlund's learning atmosphere and culture very much. I have lived in Loen for more than ten years, and I thought I would have the opportunity to become a teacher here."

"You can consider becoming a Loen."

The old man said with a smile.

Roy shook his head: "Feneport is my hometown, and I have relatives there."

"It's a shame, but that's the rule."

The old man sighed.

Then, he looked at the time, stood up and said, "It's really nice chatting with you, but unfortunately I need to prepare for a course..."

"Mr. Wainwright, nice to meet you. I really hope we can have another chance to chat next time."

"There will be a chance."

Roy and Wainwright smiled and said goodbye.

After leaving the building, he felt a gaze on him, and he used the opportunity to turn sideways to catch a glimpse...

It was an office on the third floor.

Eret!
Roy raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

After leaving Backlund University, he got on the carriage and left, got off at a place in the West End, and then entered the coffee shop.

In the bathroom of the café, he removed his disguise and entered the mysterious palace.

"Erit Frey is hostile to me."

After seven consecutive times, the pendant rotates counterclockwise.

No.

The other party did not recognize that he was the secret spy.

The disguise was successful.

Roy chuckled lightly. He only used the power of the Ring of Distortion. Even if the other party had the eye to peep into secrets, they would at most think that he was a lawyer.

but.

He wouldn't have thought of...

He is actually Professor Scroll.

In addition, although the Secret Eye at Sequence 5 level still cannot be closed on its own, it can already see through many obscurations.

If the opponent is Sequence 5, then there is a high probability that he can tell that he is wearing a mask.

and so.

Eret's sequence should be less than 5.

As long as there is no Sequence 5, Roy has full confidence, but he has no intention of taking action immediately.

It would be a shame to do it now.

This opportunity is good. Wainwright mentioned Abraham, which can mislead Eret and make him think that his purpose is related to the Abraham family.

Yes, Eret didn't just happen to pass by.

He had been eavesdropping for a long time.

Roy had noticed it before, but just ignored him.

“Hopefully there’s a big fish behind him.”

He sat in the coffee shop, suppressing his emotions.

Eret's maximum is Sequence 6. If he still has someone behind him in Backlund, he would be at least Sequence 5.

Even without Bernadette, he could still use the strength of the others to kill together.

The question is whether there is one!
If so, the main ingredients for your potion will be available.

Roy left the cafe and got on the carriage to go home.

……

At night, Roy continued writing scrolls at home.

The excitement of the day had subsided by now.

Regardless of whether the opponent has a Sequence 5 or above behind him, he must digest Professor Scroll's potion. This is the prerequisite for becoming a Sequence 5.

otherwise.

Even if he gets the Sequence 5 potion, he can only shelve it.

Roy was writing the scroll when suddenly a deep red enveloped him, and then——

A voice that seemed illusory but real sounded.

"Roy, do you still have a scroll? I want to buy your scroll, preferably one with fire ability. The price can be increased."

Klein's voice.Roy glanced at the table, thought for a moment, and said: "Dear Mr. Fool, please tell the world that there are relatively few materials for flame scrolls. I only have 4 of them now, and each one costs 15 pounds."

It's not that he wants to increase the price, but that the technology has improved and the materials used are different.

He added an explanation and let Klein choose.

Klein thought for a long time and responded: "Okay, I accept it."

After the ceremony, Roy sent 4 scrolls to the gray mist, and then 60 pounds appeared in his temporary altar.

Klein is willing to spend it...

What is he going to do?
Based on Roy's understanding of Klein, when the other party purchases arms on a large scale, he must be going to cause trouble.

He's going to deal with Kapin?
Roy was thinking when a pea vine dropped down in front of his eyes, and then a figure appeared in front of him.

He saluted immediately.

"Madam, you..."

Roy looked up, then quickly lowered his head, his face unable to conceal his "surprise" and "shock", "Congratulations, the great Queen of Mystery!"

"How's it going?"

Bernadette asked.

Roy took out the useless mask and said: "The other party is indeed a secret spy, but I can't determine the specific sequence."

"It doesn't matter, just keep checking."

Bernadette said, "I will give you the greatest support regarding the Moss Ascetic Order. This is also the purpose of our Elemental Dawn."

"Yes, I will."

Roy lowered his head, "What about this magical item?"

"My successful promotion has a lot to do with your news. This is my personal reward."

Bernadette smiled.

Roy expressed his thanks again, and then asked: "Ma'am, how many people do we have in Backlund?"

"Me, you, Hyde. We are mainly on the sea, there are not many places like Backlund."

Bernadette is very straightforward.

Roy inhaled slightly, which meant——

Unless Bernadette is still there, if she returns to the sea, the only person she can rely on is Mr. Hyde?
He is only Sequence 7.

Roy was silent.

Bernadette smiled: "You are already Sequence 6, and you can serve as a deacon in the Zhengshen Church. Is there no problem in being the leader of a place?"

"But this is Backlund."

Roy complained, "If a brick falls, the one it hits is the deacon."

"It's not that exaggerated. Okay, what does Portland say?"

"The other party stole two bookmarks and went directly to the bookmarks."

Roy conveyed it truthfully.

Bernadette's expression turned serious. The next second, she nodded slightly and then disappeared from sight.

The Queen of Mystery leaves.

Roy sat in his seat, feeling the absurdity and the teasing of fate.

The commission he gave to Bernadette in the Mysterious Palace came into his hands in this form.

"Well, think on the bright side, at least I got a useless mask, which is an extra face. If I have the ability to make it in the future, I can reorganize and make it myself through the Mysterious Palace."

……

Mystery Club.

Roy hasn't been here for a while.

After entering, he pressed his hat.

Ollie looked up, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Mr. Luo Lin, you are finally here. I thought you would not come just like Mr. Gary."

Roy chuckled and said, "How could that be? I've just been a little busy lately, so I forgot to come over yesterday."

"By the way, you have guests."

Ollie pointed to the corner of the hall.

Roy turned his head and looked over, but didn't see anyone. He was looking at Ollie suspiciously when he saw someone jumping on the chair over there.

He is really short!

He was stunned for a moment, and then realized the identity of the other party.

Hugh Dilcha.

Roy smiled and said, "Guest, would you like to come into my communication room to chat?"

"it is good."

Hugh nodded.

After entering the house, Xio sat down and didn't care about Roy's rude behavior before. After all...

No wonder Roy.

She was silent for a few seconds and said, "I didn't expect that the person Sherman met was you."

"This is the fate."

Roy smiled lightly and said, "Miss Xio, are you looking for me because of Sherman?"

"Well, he disappeared. I originally wanted to come over and see if some evil guy had bewitched him, but what you said..."

Xio hesitated for a moment and finally said, "Do you know where he went?"

"I didn't see him after the second consultation."

Roy Road.

If it were someone else, Xio would definitely use his arbiter ability, but the other person was a more powerful Beyonder.

Use your abilities...

You will only put yourself in crisis.

Xio gritted his teeth and said, "Can I exchange gold pounds for information?"

"Fifty pounds, I tell you."

"what?"

Xiu was confused, then angry, "What kind of news is worth fifty pounds!"

"Trust me, it's worth it."

Roy was serious.

Xio clenched her fists, waved her hands and said, "It better be really worth it!"

"You are no match for me, so put away your useless threats."

Roy chuckled, then took out a pen and paper and started writing.

After a moment, he turned the paper back.

"While it's cute that you're shaking your fist, unfortunately, fifty pounds is not a penny less."

It reads: "Sequence 7 of the Assassin pathway is called a witch, and can achieve gender change of the body."

Quinn looked at the paper in disbelief, then looked up at Roy blankly.

Her lips trembled slightly, but she said nothing in the end.

As Sherman's friend, she understood the allure of this message all too well——

Sherman dreams of becoming a woman!
She leaned on the chair and didn't speak for a long time, and finally took out fifty pounds.

"Did you give him the potion formula?"

"No, he got the news from other channels."

Roy didn't hide it, but he didn't dare to get involved too deeply.

Xiu stood up and saluted.

"Thank you, Mr. Green, this is important news."

"I gave him some valuable advice, and looking at it now, he should have chosen this path."

Roy looked at Xio, "For the sake of fifty pounds, I will give you a piece of advice."

Xio's movements froze and his eyes looked over.

"Don't check."

"why?"

Don't be confused.

Although her relationship with Roy was not very deep, he was mysterious, powerful, and seemed to be very knowledgeable. Even Detective Essinger trusted his abilities.

Such a person...

Advising myself not to investigate this matter means that there is something really going on inside.

"Add money."

Roy smiled.

Xio was stunned, and then said nothing: "Forget it, for fifty pounds of news, I will have to run around the East District for a month."

Her income is not huge.

Even if he and Forsi are now engaged in reselling information and materials, it is not very profitable. It can only be said to earn some hard work.

Fifty pounds is a huge expense.

In comparison, it is better to ask Mr. Fool for advice——

She vaguely remembered that Forsi had collected Russell's notes and used those notes in exchange for Mr. Fool's advice.

Thinking of this, Xio immediately walked out, but before leaving, she still solemnly thanked her.

"Mr. Green, thank you for the advice you gave Sherman."

As an extraordinary person, she knew very well how valuable Roy's guidance was——

This news is indeed worth 50 pounds.

Then.

The so-called "advice" is definitely not just worth 2 pounds.

Xio left quickly and immediately returned to the apartment in the Jowood District. After opening the door, she immediately opened the door and entered the study.

Forsi was clenching his head, his mouth was crystal clear, and there was a piece of wet manuscript in front of him.

"Forsi! The manuscript has been handed in!"

"Ah? I'm sorry, Mr. Richard, I was sick a month ago and my condition was really bad, so I haven't..."

Forsi responded and defended instinctively.

Then, when she woke up and saw Xio, she suddenly became angry.

"stop!"

"Okay, I have business to do. Forsi, do you still have the notes you collected before?"

Xio put away his joke and asked quickly.

Forsi was startled, then glanced sideways and said, "Well, they seem to be fake, so I burned them."

"what?"

Xiu almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

burn……

Burned?

Those are all precious treasures!
"There's one left."

Forsi shrank his head, then took out a piece of paper from underneath.

These are the two pages of the diary she just bought. She originally planned to sacrifice them to Mr. Hermit, but Xio seemed to be very anxious...

Give her half.

"Thank you, Forsi!"
