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

Chapter 153 Everything is thanks to the Fool

Mr. Fool...

Let’s all look up together——

Except Roy.

of course.

It's not that Roy is not curious about Klein's current expression, but he can't look directly at the Fool sitting in the first seat above the gray fog.

Unless he reaches Sequence 4 and has the ability to freely control the switch of the Eye of Secrets.

but.

Deep down in his heart, he felt that Klein must be in a very complicated mood at this time.

after all.

"The world" is the Fool.

If Mr. Fool could help, why would he ask for help at a Tarot meeting?
But in most people's opinion.

How could the great Mr. Fool not be able to help?

The difference is just.

Is He interested in this? Will He let the Beloved take action?

The Fool above chuckled and did not answer.

Although Klein pretended to be sophisticated, his brain's CPU was running wildly at the moment, thinking about how to deal with this situation.

Think for a long time.

He sighed.

"I have asked Mr. Fool for help for all the information about the Apostle of Desire, including help that can take down Mr. Fool, my current enemy."

"The World" sighed.

Roy was on the side, slightly stunned.

This……

Good guy!
Mr. Fool is not alone. There is a think tank called the "Mysterious Study Club" behind him, right?
He was silent.

The crowd was also silent.

They all know that Mr. Fool advocates equal exchange, so the unfinished meaning of "world" is——

He no longer has the ability to repay the price of equivalent exchange.

at this point……

Everyone can understand it.

Although Mr. Fool's requirements are very low, he only needs the diary of Emperor Russell, but the diary is very difficult to search, and there are some damning shoddy works in it.

By now, diaries have become hard currency, and it is extremely difficult to collect one, no less difficult than collecting the main materials.

"Mr. World, are you hunting alone?"

Roy finally spoke.

"We have some partners, but none of us are Sequence 5."

To be precise, the highest is only sequence 7.

Klein added in his mind.

They were not the ones who killed the devil dog. At most, they were information providers and whistleblowers.

"The Apostles of Desire are Sequence 5 of the Demon Path. They are very powerful, and their methods are very weird and terrifying. If you don't reach Sequence 5, it may be difficult to compete with him."

"Sun" Derrick couldn't help but said.

Klein nodded in agreement.

He thinks so too, otherwise he wouldn’t ask for help here——

The biggest problem is.

The devil dog was only solved today, otherwise he would have asked the strong men of the "Mysterious Study Club" for help.

Plus Roy…

Isn't this a sure thing?
Now, although you can also ask Mr. Hermit to convey it, the price you pay when discussing with a group of people may be different from discussing with one person alone.

not to mention.

Letting Mr. Hermit help is not without cost.

"Mr. World, can you describe the situation in detail?"

"Mr. Fool, I apply for private communication with the Hermit."

Klein controls "The World" and raises his hand.

then.

Then open through itself.

"can."

After directing and acting in the play, Klein and Roy had a separate environment. Although the others were still there, they could not hear the communication between them.

Klein sighed and said: "What happened at noon today, the Nighthawks actually locked the whereabouts of the devil dog and killed the devil dog at noon."

"noon?"

Roy was a little surprised.

The ability of the Church of the Night makes their abilities enhanced at midnight, so most of the time they choose to do it at night.

Especially some powerful enemies.

This time I chose noon...

Intriguing.

but.

If you think about it carefully, that devil dog stays day and night. For it, daytime is a time when its energy is relatively low.

Second is.

This might just happen to happen.

exactly……

Roy frowned slightly.

Adam or 008?

After thinking for a moment, he preferred 008.

Adam does not need to directly control the situation, he only needs to influence the controller. The ultimate goal is to put pressure on the Belial tribe member named "Jason" to accept the deal from the Twilight Hermits.

Assassinate Duke Negan in exchange for the "Abyss" card.

also--

The loss of the Church of Night may not be small either.

Roy thought for a while and said, "Did the Nighthawks suffer any losses?"

"I don't know because I didn't dare to get close at all. You know, there is a chance that both parties will recognize me."

Klein sighed.

The Devil Dog remembers his scent, and the Nighthawks have companions who once worked with him.

Leonard, Daly.

"Did you think of anything?"

As the "Fool", Klein was keenly aware that Roy might have discerned something and thought of some results.

"I'm wondering if this is the work of '008'. If so, what is the purpose of the person behind the scenes?"

Roy replied.

Klein was startled for a moment, then thought for a moment, sorting out some of his previous deeds.

such as.

The true Creator descends.

In that scene, without Roy and the Queen of Mystery, the Church of Night and the Church of Steam would have suffered heavy losses and would have to pay a huge price.

This time...

One bit sequence 5, one bit sequence 6.

Both of them are still very powerful and terrifying "criminal channels", and the time when the Church of Dark Night locked onto the enemy and took action was actually not the best time of Dark Night.

"They want the Church of the Night to be weakened?"

"I don't know. There is too little information. I can only make wild guesses based on the available intelligence."

Roy shook his head.

Klein thought for a few seconds and had to admit that Roy's wild guess made sense.

He was always so sharp and wise.

Klein sighed.

Then, he pondered for a moment and said: "What should I do? Well, I won't let you help for free. I will pay you, provided that I have it."

"Yes, I need the extraordinary characteristics of a diviner or a magician or above for research."

Roy said.

Klein said: "I currently do not have one, and it is an extraordinary characteristic that exceeds the reward of this exchange."

"Just remember, you will meet them sooner or later. As for the excess, I can pay in gold pounds."

Roy smiled lightly.

Klein understands——

The other party has mastered the law of aggregation of extraordinary characteristics.

I'm really envious!
Every once in a while, you can get free occult knowledge through a superior, which is a state that many people dream of.

It’s just that the negative effects are too great.

As for payment in gold pounds...

Klein thought seriously for a while, and finally shook his head: "What I lack now is not gold pounds, but to deal with this apostle of desire, otherwise I may always be hunted."

"Before Mr. Fool held the meeting, a detective was killed, and I was at the scene."

Klein added.

So fast?
"I hope you can help deal with this apostle of desire."

"I need to think about how I can help you."

Roy replied.

Klein nodded: "Okay, let's discuss it in detail after the meeting." "Okay."

The two quickly ended their private communication.

Zhengyi glanced back and forth between the two, and then couldn't help but ask: "Have you reached a deal?"

"It is."

"The World" laughed softly and returned to its previous indifferent attitude.

Roy didn't speak.

Zhengyi knew that he could not obtain the specific situation of communication from them, after all...

If they were willing to disclose, they wouldn't need to communicate alone.

but.

If Mr. "Hermit" is willing to take action, it can indeed help "the world". After all, Mr. "Hermit" is a powerful scroll professor.

This is Sequence 6 of the Secret-Peeper Path.

He may be the strongest person in the Tarot Society now——

of course.

Except Mr. Fool.

Audrey looked upward calmly.

After thinking for a moment, she glanced at Judgment.

Hugh made no movement.

"Mr. World, can you reveal something about the abilities of the 'Apostle of Desire'? I need to weigh it before deciding whether to participate."

Audrey said.

Xio adjusted her sitting posture——

That's exactly what she thought!
just.

Considering that I was a newcomer and only a Sequence 8, I didn't speak.

Klein nodded, and then briefly introduced the abilities of the "Apostle of Desire".

"A demon dog he raised was carrying out a large-scale assassination in Backlund, and I got the Fool's guidance to understand the other party's true identity and situation, and participated in the demon dog's hunting."

"Praise be to you, fool who is not of the age."

After saying that, "The World" sincerely saluted upward.

The Fool chuckled.

Roy was silent underneath.

Audrey sighed secretly, and then decided to go back and check on Backlund's recent situation, and see if she could provide some help.

She thought for a while and said: "I will try to participate, but there is no guarantee that I can provide help."

"It doesn't matter. As long as I can help, I will pay you afterwards."

Klein nodded.

Alger was unwilling to remain silent, but what happened to the devil happened in Backlund, and he was now at sea and could not provide any help.

Afterwards, everyone had some daily exchanges and exchanged some materials——

The main reason is that Alger hopes Roy can help and make a batch of scrolls.

Roy readily agreed.

Afterwards, the tarot session ends.

……

"Hey."

Klein sighed, quite helpless.

Asking for help at a Tarot meeting would inevitably lead to his identity being revealed, but he had no other better way.

however.

At present, it seems that even if Roy is willing to risk being arranged by "008" to help him, I'm afraid it is unlikely to be of much help.

At most, just protect yourself.

but.

Facing an "apostle of desire", how is it possible to be by your side to provide protection at all times?

Only a thousand days of being a thief, there is no reason to be a thief for a thousand days.

Klein frowned, and then suddenly thought of it.

"Yes, there is also Detective Essinger. He seems to be an Extraordinary as well, and among those detectives there are still one or two Extraordinaries."

In addition, there is Mr. Azik.

Klein has been very busy recently. The last time he wrote a letter was last week, when he went to inquire about the captain's current situation.

this time……

"I always feel like I've been troublesome to Mr. Azik, but haven't provided any real help."

Klein sighed.

Then, he thought of another thing.

A new batch of food has been delivered through Roy's channel. He is going to receive it and ask Mr. Hermit to help convey it.

Busy!

Klein left and returned to reality to prepare the letter.

……

another place.

Roy returned to reality, thinking about how to help Klein in exchange for the next "Magician" extraordinary characteristic that the other party might obtain.

Obviously.

The strongest and most convenient ability is the scroll.

You don’t have to be directly involved in the incident, and the chance of attracting attention will be greatly reduced, but the difficulty lies in——

He needs to make a powerful enough scroll.

Obviously.

Flame scrolls are not the first choice. Demons are masters of magma and fire magic. After being promoted to Desire Apostle, this aspect will only become more powerful.

Storm and poison are the first choices.

Roy is more confident about poison.

Toxin scroll.

Combined with a poison or extraordinary healing item...

It should be stable.

If Liyana's "Hypnotist" trait can be delivered as soon as possible, he may be able to use it and the "Wheel of Fortune" card to participate.

The main reason why he has such an idea is that Roy has a feeling——

Klein will definitely seek help from him!
If it hadn't happened today, he might have made a request for help directly at the study meeting yesterday.

Roy's guess was accurate.

After a while, he ascended to the Mysterious Hall and noticed Klein's chanting.

The star map flickers.

The purple star point representing Klein is switching back and forth between expanding and shrinking.

He touched the star point.

Soon, the message of prayer on behalf of Klein was conveyed to the Mystic Palace——

Klein, who has not received the "honored name", can only pray in this way.

"Mr. Hermit, I finally got together the first batch of dry food for Ms. No. 5. They are all food that is relatively durable. I hope you can help convey this."

"In addition, I hope to get your hearing and help."

Roy sighed.

You finally?
It must be that Soze finally got it together!
Immediately, his fingers touched.

Klein appeared above the palace.

He breathed a sigh of relief, saluted slightly upward, and then said: "Great Mr. Hermit, I have met a powerful enemy. I hope to trade with you for help using the Russell notes I collected."

"What kind of help do you want?"

Roy chuckled.

He has already made full mental preparations and plans.

If Klein wants him to take action directly, he means that the other party does not have enough chips to trade for the required price.

Not even with a diary!

"I hope you can protect my thoughts so that my thoughts and emotions will not be penetrated by the 'Desire Apostle'."

Klein made his request, then looked up carefully, "Of course, if it's within my tolerance, it would be better if you could provide some other help."

Then he made his own terms.

15 page diary.

Not enough, add more.

Roy thought for a moment and said with a low smile: "My diary has no practical use."

"That……"

Klein was stunned, not expecting such an answer.

He hesitated for a moment.

Then, he said: "I can exchange it for knowledge or other prices."

"Pay attention to someone for me."

The hermit above spoke.

Klein made a listening gesture.

"Danai Norwich, a Sequence 5 astrologer, is now hiding in Backlund."

"His messenger spell is..."

Roy then smiled and said, "I don't have time to pay attention to his men one by one. You need to help me pay attention to who has contact with him."

"I'll investigate."
