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

Chapter 141 Justice, you recommended me, right?

"Viscount Zago, I agree with Mr. Perron's point of view. Now is the age of machinery. We should let the machinery move and reduce manpower as much as possible."

"According to the plan of the Church of Steam, I think the factory's manpower can be reduced by one-third. As for the legal aspect, please don't worry. There is no legal requirement to lay off employees."

A lawyer said to Viscount Zago.

Viscount Zago hesitated for a moment and said, "The extra manpower..."

"Don't worry, we will arrange them properly and won't let them be displaced. You are a conscientious Viscount. I believe those people will feel your kindness."

another lawyer laughed.

After hearing this, Viscount Zago nodded slightly: "Okay, in that case, I will entrust this matter to you."

"Don't worry."

……

Roy looked on.

The various states of the two lawyers who talked the most frequently were different from those of ordinary people.

Their etheric bodies are healthier.

The spirit is also stronger.

At this moment, a stream of subtle information flowed out from them, but it was a pity that Roy couldn't get too close——

Although his current state is concealed enough that he will not be noticed by ordinary extraordinary people, the clues will still be seen if he gets too close.

Just relying on long-distance observation, he has been able to conclude that these two are extraordinary people, but he is not sure what level they are.

Two avenues for attorneys.

Will it be an official person?

Roy returned to Mr. Azik's house with the message wrapped in the blasphemy card, and then fell into deep thought, if these people were the king's men...

Then.

They promoted the mechanized revolution in order to free up workers so that the king could obtain more people.

but.

Even without them, many workers would still be laid off.

This is an inevitable problem faced by industrialization.

……

Roy left the Mystic Hall.

Then, he got up and walked out of the study and went to the next room.

That's a storage room.

but.

There were only some cleaning utensils such as brooms inside, and most of them were rotten, leaving only an empty shell.

He walked around the entire villa.

Finally, come to the basement.

There are some wine jars piled here, but they are all dilapidated and covered with dust. Fortunately, there is that person patrolling, so there are no spider webs.

He borrowed the light and voyeuristic eyes to observe the situation in the basement.

There are no extraordinary materials here, but there are some spiritual materials left. For example, a wine jar has a trace of weird spirituality emanating from it.

He walked over and opened it, then quickly covered it with his hands folded and bowed twice, saying "offense" twice.

Ok……

This small wine jar should contain fragments of someone's body. I don't know who collected it, but the placement here may have something to do with Mr. Azik.

Roy stopped and thought for a while, then put it away, went to the top, cleaned the table and wrote a letter.

"Dear Mr. Azik, I arrived at the address corresponding to your jewelry. This is a villa that has been unoccupied for a long time..."

He wrote about what he saw and heard in the villa, describing everything in as much detail as possible, and then mentioned the jar.

"I can't be sure whether it is the remains of your relatives, so let Nina bring it over and see for yourself."

After a while, he chanted a spell and summoned Nina.

Nina lowered her head, looked at the letter and the jar, and thought for a long time, then said, "Do you still want to bring an urn?"

"Yes, it's best to take him there."

Roy nodded.

Nina was a little embarrassed, and finally breathed out and said: "Okay, but..."

"I'll tell you a story later."

"Okay, I'll help you this time."

Nina grabbed the urn without showing any concern or resistance. She happily grabbed it and left with the letter in her mouth.

After sending away the jar of bones, Roy walked around the basement of the villa again and finally found something that might be useful.

A few rotten boards.

There is a layer of dust from resentful spirits on it. I don’t know what it was used to do, maybe it was a coffin board.

In short.

This trip was quite rewarding.

Roy doesn't know how to use it yet, but for wizards and scroll professors, as long as there are materials, nothing is useless.

If you can't use it, you definitely don't have enough knowledge.

……

It's less than three o'clock in the afternoon.

Klein returned home early and prepared coffee and medicinal materials——

The latter is a special medicinal material he bought from the fat pharmacist at the Eye of Wisdom gathering, which can cheer up the spirit in a short time.

A serious spirit.

no way.

There are too many people, so he can only suffer and tire himself out, but this week is better, after all, he has been promoted to Sequence 7.

Sequence 8 to Sequence 7 is a qualitative change.

His spirituality has doubled, and this is just the beginning. As the potion is gradually digested, his spirituality will improve faster and faster.

therefore……

After reaching Sequence 7, theoretically he should be enough to support the losses of the current group of people.

but.

For reasonable reasons, he had to hide the Tarot Society from Sharon, and only provided some small help in resisting contamination.

Thinking of Sharon, Klein couldn't help but sigh softly.

He had a vague feeling that Roy was right.

The helpers who appear around him seem to have problems one by one, such as Mr. Azik at the beginning, Roy later, and Sharon now...

For this reason, he had to cooperate with Triss.

however.

Cooperating with Triss was tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger. He couldn't imagine who would come faster, the crisis or the pen behind Triss.

"The Witch Cult."

"Hey, I didn't expect that after Ince died, the quill fell into the hands of the Witch Sect. It feels like there is a hand controlling it."

Klein sighed helplessly.

Then, he thought about when to pull Sharon up——

Klein was also very covetous of her "Book of Secrets", but he had previously agreed to make a copy of the book, but Roy did not have his share.

however.

He couldn't come up with money of equal value to exchange with Roy. He originally hoped to use Sharon for free prostitution, but unfortunately...

It is true that Sharon respects the Fool, but there is no mention of the Book of Secrets.

Perhaps he felt that the book was not worth mentioning to the Great Fool, so he did not mention it.

but.

Little did she know that that thing was very important to her, and the secret knowledge recorded above might be able to help the current Fool complete the leap to evil god.

Klein laughed to himself, then collected himself and began to extend his spirituality towards the crimson stars.

The next moment, figures appeared in the giant bronze hall.

On one side is——

Justice, judgment.

On the other side are the Hanged Man, the Sun, the Hermit and "The World".

Zhengyi still maintained excellent courtesy and tradition, and started greetings as soon as the gray fog came over and he arrived at the giant bronze palace.

From the fool to the judge who came in at the end, basically no one was left behind.

After some greetings, Audrey smiled and said, "Mr. Fool, I collected two pages of diaries this week."

"I also brought the last page."

"The Hanged Man" Alger stood up.

Roy remained silent underneath.

Although he could hand over Forsi's diary to Klein, he couldn't be sure whether Forsi had given it to him in private.

That page of diary...

In fact, there is nothing recorded, more of it is some daily trivial matters, but what Roy can't tell now is whether it was written by the emperor or another person.

The mixed information has made it difficult for him to distinguish.

If we could get all of Klein's notes, we might be able to find the differences by comparing them with the original trajectory.

but.

Klein is equally cautious when dealing with himself as a "hermit". Unless necessary, he rarely spends the diary as a price for inquiries.

Roy sat silently underneath.

Klein was reading the diary quietly from above. After a while, he looked up at everyone and said, "You guys can start."

"Yes, Mr. Fool."

Zhengyi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the others, and then keenly noticed...

"Mr. Sun, do you want to say something?"

In fact, Klein also noticed his mood swings.

but.

Now that justice has spoken, he doesn't speak.

"I was hesitant to say it, but... the elder I mentioned went digging soil yesterday, and I happened to see it."

"Sun" Derrick said.

Alger frowned and said, "Is he burying something?"

"No, she didn't bury anything, she was just digging the soil and said she wanted to take it back to study the soil."

Derrick said, "The point is, the chief told me that trust and unity are very important for Silver City to survive to this day. I agree with this view."

"The Hanged Man" Alger was silent——

He is the one who likes to speculate the most.

At this time, Audrey also understood why Little Sun was confused.

On the one hand, he wanted to ask everyone for their opinions, but on the other hand, he was worried that they were thinking wrongly and thought that the other party was accusing them of violating the religion.

therefore.

From just now until now, his mood has been in a state of flux.

What a kind, non-scheming person.Audrey is thinking about how to solve it.

Derrick quickly explained: "I'm not blaming you. You have helped me a lot and helped me learn to think. It's just that what the Chief said is right. I, I..."

"That's normal, Mr. Sun."

Roy knew that he had to speak, otherwise this honest man would say something random.

That would be a waste of Mr. Fool's few spiritual powers.

He chuckled lightly.

"After all, we are just outsiders. Just through your description, it is like listening to a story to us. There is no way to truly understand the cruelty of Silver City."

"what do you mean?"

Derrick scratched his head and completely gave up the idea of ​​explaining himself.

"All we can offer is advice, whether it's me, Mr. Hanged Man or anyone else, or even the respected, great Mr. Fool..."

Roy stood up and first put a layer of armor on himself, "I'm not questioning your greatness."

"I don't care about this kind of discussion."

The Fool chuckled.

"Thank you, kind Mr. Fool."

Roy saluted, and then continued, "Derrick, for you, Mr. Fool is hope, but you are like people in a pit, and what Mr. Fool does is throw down a rope."

He said this and did not continue.

but.

Not long after, the Hanged Man spoke.

"The person holding the rope is actually you, not Mr. Fool. He cannot decide whether you pull the rope or not."

Alger followed the interpretation and couldn't help but admired, "That's true, so Mr. Fool rarely provides help directly, but advocates equal exchange."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a strong sense of crisis.

Before the "hermit" came, he had been guessing and interpreting Mr. Fool's behavior and thoughts, but since the "hermit" arrived, he has gradually fallen behind.

just now……

I have begun to interpret the quotations of "The Hermit".

This will not work.

Alger, find the right direction!
"The Hanged Man" encouraged himself in his heart.

After hearing this, "Sun" Derrick fell into deep thought. After a few seconds, he raised his head and said, "I understand. Thank you, and you, the great Mr. Fool. I didn't know you had such a purpose before."

The Fool let out a chuckle without explaining his actions.

however.

But he was secretly saying in his heart——

To tell you the truth, I only just learned that there is such a meaning.

Klein controls the trumpet, controlling his expression and emotions.

"Let's go back to Elder Shepherd, how is she?"

The World spoke.

Derrick hesitated for a moment and said, "She, she has become very kind and gentle. She looks like an elegant and gentle elder. Are the shepherds in the outside world like this too?"

"of course not."

"The World" sneered, "If all the shepherds were like this, everyone in Aurora wouldn't be shouting about it now."

Derrick nodded slightly.

Then, he said: "If that's the case, I don't know what's going on. In short, I feel that Elder Lovia seems to be different, especially after I abandoned my prejudices."

"Perhaps she believes in other gods."

Alger reminded.

Derrick pondered for a few seconds and said: "But we in Silver City have no other gods, only one omniscient and omnipotent Creator."

Klein thought for a moment, and then asked as "The World": "Where is your Creator?"

"I don't know, but recently, there seems to be rumors in the city that the Creator is still alive and will bring hope."

Derrick answered.

Everyone was silent for a moment, and then tacitly agreed not to continue the discussion.

There may be hidden secrets that they don't know about. After experiencing an incident like Lovia's, no one can guarantee that their guess is correct.

Being unsure will lead Derrick to think in the opposite direction.

Roy finally said: "You can continue to pay attention. If you feel something is wrong, you can ask us for help through Mr. Fool."

"Okay, thank you all."

Derrick expressed his sincere thanks.

After he finished speaking.

The others exchanged some more information about "Becklund", and it was obvious that Audrey had already received part of the information.

Now she just wants to hear other people's opinions.

The Hanged Man refreshed himself and quickly began to express his own opinions, guessing that the scene was a precursor to a terrible political struggle and war.

however.

The "world" sitting at the end was silent.

Roy was curious about what kind of mental state Klein was in now, maybe he wanted to say...

In fact, the cause was only 5 gold pounds.

but.

I don’t know how things developed, but in the end he was forced to kill a marionette master and then an ambassador.

Gee!
It's a pity that there is just a marionette over there, and the one above is the real person.

Roy concentrated his thoughts to prevent others from seeing his thoughts.

After a while, when the discussion was over, he asked: "Mr. Hanged Man, what did your friend say?"

"He can sell a copy of his personal notebooks, but there's no guarantee it's what you need."

Alger said, "But I can guarantee that I paid a heavy price for this."

Roy smiled and said, "It's okay, Mr. Hanged Man."

"Okay, what I got is his note. After the meeting is over, I will ask Mr. Fool to help convey it."

Alger replied.

"it is good."

Roy nodded.

Having a notebook is already very good. As long as he has some basic knowledge, he can try it in the palace.

Anyway, we can use the ability of information technology to decompose and reorganize items, which is basically a loss-free transaction.

For him, the hardest thing is not having knowledge.

Alger breathed a sigh of relief.

The deal with Roy was a knot in his mind. He was still very distressed if he really had to pay five thousand gold pounds. Now he can repay it with knowledge...

That is naturally the best.

Then, the Fool smiled lightly and said, "Come here."

"Mr. Fool, please wait a moment."

Everyone looked over and were a little surprised.

Trial?

They hesitated for a moment, and finally looked at the judge, expecting what words would come out of the other party's mouth.

result.

Judgment took several deep audible breaths.

then.

"Mr. Fool, I hope to communicate with Miss Justice alone. Please allow us to stay alone for a while."

With me?

Audrey's heart beat rapidly.

Looking at Xio's state, could it be that he discovered himself?

Now it was her turn to be nervous.

Klein smiled and said, "Okay."

He is also curious!
He then sent the rest back to reality, leaving only the two ladies in the tarot session.

After a moment, Xio said: "Madam, you recommended me to Mr. Fool, right? I should express my gratitude to you."

Audrey was speechless.

This was obviously a guess.

How should I answer this?

She thought quickly, and after a second or two, she smiled and said: "Yes, Ms. Judgment, it was indeed me who recommended you to Mr. Fool."

Audrey couldn't avoid it.

When Xiu Neng asked this question in the tarot meeting, it proved that the other party had indeed grasped her identity and did not want to rip it apart, hoping to continue to cooperate in this state.

This is also a good thing.

only……

She could no longer remain mysterious and hide her identity as an extraordinary person.

This may be the price Laxiu and Forsi must pay.

after all.

On that occasion, I excessively used my extraordinary ability on Forsi, causing him to read out his honorable name directly.

The suspected origin may be that time...

Audrey sighed in her heart.

"Mr. Fool, is the other one... still under review?"

Xio looked at the great existence above.

Klein chuckled: "She doesn't need my help."

what?
Xio was surprised for a while and said in disbelief: "No way, every time she comes..."

After being shocked for a while, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't heard Forsi's painful moan from next door on a full moon night for a long time.

Has Forsi found a way?
Quinn was stunned for a moment.

"Come here."

The Fool chuckled, sending them both back to reality, and then raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

Three women in one play.

The ancients never lied to me.

Unfortunately, he was unable to witness the confrontation between them live.

Hey!
Three people, belonging to two different evil gods...

but.

The unfinished words of the judging lady seemed to contain the secret of Miss No. 1.

Will it be the reason why Mr. Hermit dragged her to the mysterious hall?

Klein sat in his seat and guessed.
