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

Chapter 148 The prey appears and the faceless man mask is recreated
It only took Hyde and Becky half an hour to pack everything.

Because they really planned to leave Backlund.

after an hour.

They packed their bags and arrived at Rose Street in the South District. Their things were temporarily placed on the first floor of Roy's rented house.

Then, he took the two of them to the Harvest Church to visit the pier.

"Father, they are all my friends."

Roy pointed at Hyde, "This is my friend who purchased the Sage Tree, Hyde Carson, a wizard who only needs one material to be promoted."

Utravsky nodded with a smile.

"Hello."

"Hello, Mr. Bishop."

Hyde greeted cautiously.

after all……

The opponent is the Dawn Knight of Sequence 6 and the Bishop of the Church of the Earth, and may also decide whether his transaction can continue——

The Earth Church is not an idle individual.

They are not short of money at all, and it is impossible to buy a Sequence 6 extraordinary characteristic from them with just gold pounds.

This is also the hardest part of promotion.

Many times, it is not just mastering the formula that will lead to promotion, but also mastering the main ingredients of the potion.

Only by mastering the main material can you truly control this path.

This is exactly how the Church of Steam controls the generals.

There are many similar organizations.

Utravsky looked at Becky again.

"this……"

"Hello, my name is Becky Korola, and I have just become a weapons master."

Becky said.

Utravsky smiled gently and immediately understood the other party's intention.

"You want the recipe for Dawn Knight?"

"If it's possible, I definitely want to. If not, I hope I can stay at Harvest Church for a while."

Becky said.

Utravski nodded: "No problem, the Mother Goddess is kind and will not refuse your arrival."

"As for you."

"The Archbishop has agreed that you can obtain the extraordinary materials from the Sage Tree, but the condition is that in addition to gold pounds, you must also serve the Earth Church for a period of time."

Utravsky later explained, "It's not deliberately difficult, but we need to face the pressure of the Steam Church."

"Green told me that I must be fully mentally prepared when I come here."

Hyde nodded.

Roy said from the side: "How long is this deadline?"

“It can be just in name, as long as it’s digested internally.”

Utravsky explained.

Within the major righteous churches, there are some invisible rules.

The essence of these rules is a joint monopoly of channels to prevent the potion from being leaked on a large scale.

Most of the major righteous churches will abide by it.

Earth Church is no exception.

of course.

This is why Roy opened his mouth, and the current scrolls are beginning to benefit the area where the Earth Church is located.

otherwise.

They probably don’t want to be troublesome——

Apart from Moss Ascetic Order and Elemental Dawn, the only ones with a large amount of scroll manufacturing capabilities are the Church of Steam.

but.

If they don’t want to be controlled by the Church of Steam or other forces...

It is imperative to cultivate your own extraordinary.

Roy is still unsure what their plan is.

"You guys can come here tomorrow morning. It should be delivered by then."

……

the next morning.

Hyde woke up early.

Yesterday, they looked around for a house and finally settled on a house that was relatively close, but it would take a few days to vacate it.

therefore.

In the past few days, they will stay temporarily at Roy's side.

This also makes it easier for everyone to communicate.

Arriving at Harvest Church in the morning, he walked in and saw a woman sitting in the church.

Seeing him come in, the other party glanced at him briefly, and then looked away.

Utravsky is not here.

He sat in a corner and tried not to interfere with others' prayers. Fortunately, there were not many people praying.

After a while, Roy followed.

After looking around for a week.

"Ms. Liyana, long time no see."

"Green, I miss you every day. Unfortunately, I don't think you ever really miss me."

Liyana smiled charmingly.

Roy smiled softly: "Madam, how could it be? I want to find you every day, but you haven't given me your address."

"Haha, forget the address. I'm afraid my brother will kidnap you. He's not as easy to talk to as I am."

Liyana had a slight smile on her face.

Then, she looked at the dumbfounded and shocked Hyde and said, "Is he your friend?"

"Yes, he has a very good relationship with me. He knows the ins and outs and will not reveal the secrets of the church. If he becomes the Scroll Professor, he can help a lot."

Roy still doesn't know who Liana is, but he feels that she is very mysterious and does not look like an ordinary vampire.

Liyana nodded slightly.

"It's not bad. The foundation is solid. Let's go."

Roy winked at Hyde.

Hyde quickly followed.

After a while, they came to the basement, and Liyana took out a special piece of bark from the suitcase she carried with her.

Its surface is covered with simple lines, like a book...

Seeing it, everyone will see all kinds of information and knowledge.

The bark of the wise tree!

Hyde was so surprised that his face was trembling slightly. After a few seconds, he calmed down and took out the gold pound and other materials from his small suitcase.

"Dear Madam, this is three thousand gold pounds..."

"A thousand and a half will do."

Liyana said lightly.

One thousand and five.

This is the market price of the material, but the price for items above sequence 6 is often much higher, ranging from two thousand to three thousand is possible.

Original price...

This is not an ordinary bargain!

"Thank you, ma'am."

"It's nothing, I'm just conveying the meaning on your behalf."

Liyana said.

Then, she looked at Roy.

"Shall we go next door to chat?"

"it is good."

Not long after, only Hyde was left here, and there was a pot.

He has a complicated expression.

Obviously.

Roy is more than a simple "non-staff member."

He is an ordinary non-staff member. Roy may be a real member of the Earth Church, and his status is not low.

"Oh, it's a good thing I was able to help, otherwise I wouldn't know how to repay this favor."

……

"Madam, I didn't expect you to send it here."

"The Living Sage Tree is relatively rare. The Church of the Earth doesn't control much of it, and the Vampire Tribe happens to have a collection of extraordinary materials."

Liyana sat down gracefully.

Then, she looked at Roy deeply.

"I didn't expect you to study the scroll to this level in just a few days. It's really amazing!"

"All thanks to the guidance of the Mother Goddess."

Roy gestured religiously.

Liana blinked, then smiled.

"It doesn't have to be like this. The Mother Goddess is merciful and does whatever she wants, but the scroll you are studying is indeed very important to the church."

She opened the bag and took out a handful of snacks similar to melon seeds and pine nuts.

Roy's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Do you want it?"

"Thank you!"

He reached out decisively.

Liyana smiled until her eyes turned into crescent moons.

"I also like eating this kind of snack. It's fun to eat...Okay, let's get down to business."

Gala.

She bit open a melon seed and skillfully spit out the skin.

"Even in Feneport, there are only a handful of cultivators above Sequence 7, but only those who reach Sequence 7 and above have the ability to influence plant growth."

"Your scroll solves that problem."

Sequence 7 is already a mid-sequence.

In the Orthodox Church where the "acting method" has not been popularized, there are destined not to be too many, and there are even fewer above Sequence 6.

Even in the Church of Night and the Church of Storms, Sequence 6 is already at the deacon level, and the Church of the Earth should be similar.

and so.

Roy understood the urgency of the Earth Church.

"I will continue to study it. This also meets my acting needs."

"I'm not urging you, I just want to say that you have achieved results, and I have also achieved certain results."

Liyana took out a stack of paper.

Roy took it and looked up in surprise.

This is……

A list.

There are some names written on it, followed by corresponding addresses, positions, and suspected extraordinary sequences.

Roy looked up.

"How did you get it?"

"The Blood Clan is an ancient family. Even if it doesn't do much business in Backlund, you can still collect a lot of information if you want to."

Liyana chuckled and said, "I can't say the details, but I can tell you that we maintain an underground trading party."

It turned out to be the case.

There is a special gathering, so as long as you pay attention to their purchasing goals, you can get their approximate sequence.

No wonder some of the descriptions later are descriptions like "there are suspected companions of Sequence 6".

These pieces of paper are all members of the Secret Peeping Path.

Some come in threes or two—

Most of them have a relatively noble status and come from aristocratic or wealthy families, so they are accompanied by a description of their family status.

Platform operators engage in information selling...

There are really not many people who can withstand the defense.

Roy sighed.

He looked at the list and couldn't help but be speechless.

"The Moss Trappist Order is crazy for preaching on such a large scale..."

Although there are only about 40 people here, most of them are Sequence 9 and Sequence 8, and there are very few Beyonders above Sequence 7.

Obviously.

The people who ventured to such gatherings were all members developed by Backlund.They lack vigilance and complete knowledge of the extraordinary world, and do not understand the horror of the extraordinary world.

Roy thought for a moment and looked up at Liana.

"Ma'am, can you do me one more favor?"

"Ok?"

Liana looked at him doubtfully.

Then she mused.

"You want to recruit them?"

"Ahem, it's the Church of the Earth. Think about it, the church must have its own scroll professor or develop its own affinity forces."

Roy whispered.

Liyana smiled and said: "No problem, this is within the scope of the transaction, but there is a deadline."

"Thank you, and also thank you, the mother of all things."

Roy gestured.

At present, he is not able to truly start his own business, so he will have to wait until Sequence 4 at least.

Until then, we have to rely on the help of the Earth Church.

Liyana was about to speak when she suddenly closed her eyes. After a few seconds, she said, "Can you make extraordinary items?"

"That's the ability of a craftsman. How could I, as a spy, do it?"

Roy shook his head, and then he pondered for a moment, "But if I have relevant knowledge, I can try it."

"Okay. There is some relevant knowledge in the church that I can show you. If you can do it, I hope you can help deal with a batch of extraordinary characteristics."

Liyana said, "This is also helping yourself."

"What way?"

"audience."

Liyana replied, "You should be relatively clear about their abilities."

Audience approach?

Roy's heartbeat increased sharply.

He couldn't listen to this stuff, and always felt that he was unlucky and would easily run into that Father Maozi.

“Are they the accumulation of the church?”

"Ah."

Liana nodded, "There are four copies in total, one Sequence 6 hypnotist and three Sequence 9."

This……

Roy's mind unconsciously came up with a sentence from his previous life -

The cook does not steal, and the grain does not reap.

Even if only one copy is Sequence 6, there are four copies in his own hands. One copy of Sequence 6 is returned to the church, and he has three copies in hand.

Only problem.

Does the Mother God know that she has such ability?

Roy was confused.

Is this the bait on the hook, or is it?
He felt that it was probably a bait. The question now was whether the bait would bite or not.

Within a second or two, he already had the answer in his heart.

No bite!

Although the value of a Sequence 7 Extraordinary characteristic is high, it is not unaffordable. In comparison, the risk is much higher.

Not worth the candle.

After he figured it out, he relaxed and said with a smile: "Let's do Sequence 9 first. Even if it fails, no materials will be wasted, and the difficulty will be much lower."

"can."

Liyana nodded, "We will have the messenger deliver it as soon as possible."

Roy stood up and left.

After walking out of the Earth Church, he felt a chill.

Believe in God’s power, but not in His mercy…

exactly.

Although the Earth Mother Goddess seems to have no ill intentions towards her, who can explain her specific thoughts?
As a low-sequence person, you have to be cautious and not reach out randomly.

Roy exhaled slowly.

The good news is that I have the support of the Church of the Earth and can recruit a group of secret peepers as my team——

Even though this has not been implemented yet.

but.

Liyana can get these lists, so it shouldn't be a big problem to complete this matter. Maybe they even had such a plan in the first place, but they just need to cooperate.

No matter what, you will benefit from it.

……

In the afternoon, he went home and used a mask to change his appearance.

He planned to stay at the Mystic Club to observe whether Fias would arrange for someone to stay at the Mystic Club in the future.

Outside the Mystic Club, Roy sat down in a cafe and stared at the street.

After a while, he saw the woman again.

Fias.

She was walking on the street, and after a while she quickly turned into the cafe and headed to a private room.

Roy adjusted his seat so that he could see the corridor leading out of their private room.

Moments past.

Fias walked out of it, and a few minutes later, another man walked out of the box.

He was the one who contacted Fias.

The next moment, Roy noticed that he had walked into the mysterious club.

Are you here to register as a member?

Roy walked inside.

"Sir, what do you want?"

Ollie called him to a stop.

Roy had a hesitant, skeptical look on his face.

"Does anyone here really understand the mystery?"

“Our club is a group of enthusiasts, so we can’t guarantee that everyone is proficient, but they definitely understand.”

"Can I see who the masters are? Something terrible happened to me and I want to talk to someone."

As he spoke, a look of horror appeared on his face at the right time.

"of course can."

Ollie smiled kindly and said, "Every outsider who comes to the Mysterious Club has similar reasons. I can't guarantee that your matter will be solved, but you can definitely get help."

"I choose this one, Mr. Groot."

Roy pointed to the last one.

His code name is...

Gray robe wizard.

"Sir, this is a new member who has just joined. I am not sure whether he is knowledgeable and trustworthy. If you are willing to wait, I think you can come back on Thursday and Friday."

Ollie whispered, "In those two days, the fighting wizard Mr. Luo Lin will come over. He is a truly professional and knowledgeable mystic."

"Thank you for your recommendation, but I am in a hurry to meet this gentleman first."

just here?

Just arrived!
He is the one you are looking for.

Roy raised the corner of his mouth slightly and followed the guidance and entered.

After a while, he came to a white crystal room.

After opening the door, Ollie made a brief introduction, and then Roy walked in.

"Hello Mr. Groot."

"Hello, please take a seat."

This middle-aged man had a professional smile on his face and was very polite.

Roy sat down and continued: "Sir, do you really understand mystery?"

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't use wizard as my codename."

Groot smiled and said, "A wizard is a legendary mage who knows mysteries. Every occult enthusiast desires to become a wizard."

"Are you a wizard?"

"No, like you, I am just a mysterious apprentice, a confused person seeking on the road of knowledge."

Groot sighed, then chuckled and said, "But I think I can still answer some questions or help you."

"Mr. Groot, I have encountered some difficulties. My friend was hunted down by a group of evil cultists who worshiped death. He is now missing. I would like to ask you to divine his whereabouts."

Roy said sadly.

Groot was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "I know a little bit about divination skills. Do you have any of his personal belongings?"

"Have."

Roy took out a purple crystal pendant. It was wrapped in silk and had no calendar.

Groot took it and opened it to look at and observe. At this moment——

He heard an ancient Hermetic sound.

The meaning of this word is "babble".

Instantly, a terrifying roar surrounded my heart.

A bunch of roars from the true Creator!

His mind went blank for an instant, flesh sprouts sprouted all over his body, and his body's flesh and blood exploded in an unstable manner.

Even the Mystic Path cannot withstand the wrath of the true Creator.

but.

Soon, Roy moved his fingers and held a ring to activate "Twist".

He distorted and deflected his roar
This gave Groot a chance to breathe.

but.

The next second, when he recovered a little, a withered vine suddenly wrapped around his neck.

Under the dual effects of madness and entanglement, the wizard named Groot breathed his last in despair.

Roy released the spirituality of witchcraft and stared at the corpse calmly.

Then, he ascended to the mysterious palace and channeled the other party's soul.

"Who are you?."

"Groot Meyer, member of the Trappist Order of Moss."

"Your boss in Backlund."

"Her name is Fias. She is a wizard and a student of Mr. Danai. Otherwise, she would never be able to lead me."

"Who is Danai?"

"Mr. Danai, Sequence 5 Astrologer."

sequence 5?

From the information he learned, Backlund currently only has a Sequence 5.

I didn't expect to know the news about him.

"where is he?"

"I don't know. Mr. Danai is only in contact with Fias right now."

One-liner?

trouble.

Roy then asked: "Where is your gathering place here?"

"The bookstore next to Hillston Library, that's our stronghold."

Roy thought for a long time and took out the useless mask.

He knew what the problem was with this mask before—

Before going crazy, the deceased was so eager to fix the appearance of this face that he ended up with this extraordinary object.

but.

This may not be the real face of the deceased.

As a faceless man, I have forgotten my beginning...

The consequences can be imagined.

I didn't optimize before because I was worried that Bernadette would suddenly go back, but now I really need to use it——

Then there's no way.

He carefully transformed the mask into information, eliminating some of the dark information.

This is the information flow belonging to the previous faceless man.

Then, it rapidly transformed and seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

Waited for a while.

Roy integrated the information again, but eliminated the information of "just want this face".

He retains the obsessive information about the other party's "change".

Then the mask became less and less stable.

Faceless Man Mask!
