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

Chapter 154 Colin: I completely understand too!
Silver City.

Lovia was sitting in her room doing her daily prayers before going to bed, and then, a familiar message appeared in her mind.

This is Mr. Hermit’s contact information.

"Ready to receive the first batch."

Did you collect the food on the 3rd?

Very good!
Lovia immediately got up and ran to Colin's office.

after a while.

She knocked on the chief's office door.

"Your Excellency."

"what happened?"

Colin looked up, his expression gradually changing from casual to serious.

because……

Lovia's expression was very excited at the moment.

Something big?

but.

Lovia has hardly gone out recently.

On the one hand, she has more important responsibilities.

On the other hand, as an extraordinary person who once went out alone, she needed to be further observed for a period of time.

Then.

There is only one possibility.

"Any news?"

Colin seemed very calm, but the interlacing and rubbing of his fingers showed that the usually calm chief of Silver City was not calm at the moment.

Lovia nodded heavily.

"Yes."

She smiled brightly.

"The one who asked me to prepare a ceremony to receive food from the outside world."

"Let's go."

Colin stood up and walked quickly to the tower.

Lovia knows.

The chief also has various emotions, but he suppresses and restrains them to make himself appear calm and collected.

Because everyone in Silver City is looking at him, every move Colin makes will become a signal.

Arrive at the top of the tower.

"Let's get started. This is the most secret place. The rituals arranged can isolate the inside and outside, and protect the things inside from contamination as much as possible."

Colin paused as he spoke.

After a few seconds, he said: "If it is contaminated, the powerful can try it first."

"It's not necessary, Your Excellency, Chief. If you want to confirm whether it has been contaminated, you can go through that person or his channels."

Lovia shook her head, and then said with a solemn expression, "In our Silver City, every mid- to high-sequence Beyonder is precious and cannot be attempted lightly."

Colin was silent.

He stared at Lovia for a few seconds, then nodded slightly: "Let's get started."

Lovia took out instruments and books and prepared the altar for the "giving ceremony" to receive supplies.

As an elder of Silver City, she is already familiar with this set of rituals.

but.

Facing Mr. Hermit, she still tried her best to be as perfect as possible——

The knowledge of this sacrifice is also some knowledge of Silver City that is not repeated before. I will do my best to please Mr. Hermit, who is very interested in knowledge.

Then, Colin turned around tacitly.

"I'll go guard outside."

Since the great being did not ask Lovia to reveal his honorable name to him, it meant that he did not want to have direct contact with Colin yet.

Instead of eavesdropping here and causing that person's displeasure, it's better to leave wisely.

Standing at the door, Colin restrained his spirit and did not think about eavesdropping on the secrets inside.

……

Inside the house, Lovia was performing a ceremony, feeling very uneasy.

A few seconds passed, and the words on the surrounding books gradually came to life.

The hermit watches this place.

Lovia closed her eyes, praising the great hermit repeatedly with various prayers in her heart, and did not dare to open her eyes to pry.

She was afraid that opening her eyes would affect Mr. Hermit's mood.

however.

The next moment, a purple light enveloped her.

The hermit summoned him?

Lovia opened her eyes and bowed her head respectfully.

"Great Mr. Hermit, what are your instructions?"

"You don't have to be restrained."

Roy chuckled, "I have a ritual that you can try to learn and verify. It can divert some toxins and pollution away."

"Great Mr. Hermit, what price do I need to pay for this?"

Lovia was extremely excited.

Toxins, pollution.

This is the biggest headache in Silver City.

If they can divert pollution and toxins, their Silver City will truly gain hope!

"It won't eradicate your Silver City's problems."

Roy said, "This ritual can only protect your food from being quickly contaminated, so that it can be stored for a longer period of time."

Lovia was slightly startled, and then said: "This is also the great magic we urgently need."

"It can't be said to be great. This is just the creation of a favored one like me."

Roy chuckled, "But, for you guys, it does come in handy."

The favored ones...

Lovia's eyes widened.

Mr. Hermit actually has a loved one in this area?
I don’t know if I am considered His favored one.

Lovia sighed secretly in her heart.

Then she gathered her thoughts and focused on what was in front of her.

"In this case, what price should I pay to him?"

"random."

Roy smiled and said, "You can ask in person next week."

next week?

Lovia was startled for a moment, and then immediately realized that the "a favored one" mentioned by Mr. Hermit was probably one of the members of the study association.

She has attended three study sessions.

I have a certain understanding of the members of the study club.

Among the four people before her, No. 2 is the strongest and has the most knowledge. She may not even be as knowledgeable as the other person in the field of mysticism.

Also.

This No. 2 deliberately took care of the others, and every time he shared occult books that the others could provide equivalent knowledge.

If he is Mr. Hermit’s favorite...

That would explain it.

No. 2 seems to be less active than No. 1, but in fact secretly maintains the progress and rhythm of the mysterious study meeting, while No. 3, as an advocate, provides many ideas and links.

For example, the newly added "Impressions" link.

"I see."

"The first three are actually Mr. Hermit's favored ones."

"No!"

"Strictly speaking, everyone in the study group has received the attention of Mr. Hermit. It can be said that they are all favored ones, but the degree of favor is different."

Lovia thought secretly in her heart.

She stood up and bowed: "Thank you for your gift, and also thank you Mr. No. 2."

The hermit made no reply.

The next moment, Lovia realized that she had returned to reality.

She sat there, sorting out the ritual magic she had obtained.

Lovia knocked her head and recalled some of the knowledge about magic and spells she had learned in the mysterious study meeting.

At its core is a spell symbol.

This symbol strings together materials, connects them, and then guides the toxins, the power of the earth -

Lovia doesn't understand what a "secret spy" is.

but.

She knew the druids, the abilities of the paths of the earth.

In her opinion, this ritual magic is more like a spell, but it exists in the form of a pattern or symbol.

Lovia thought of the "crazy tree spirit" from before.

After thinking for a moment, she sighed.

Ritual magic is possible.

however.

If you want to complete this ritual, you cannot rely on Silver City.

Because the materials involved in this spell are all auxiliary materials for the cultivator path, or some related materials.

But in Silver City...

There are no more of those things.If you want to become a cultivator, extraordinary characteristics are left over from the past, and auxiliary materials are very difficult to find. It is almost impossible to find them in Silver City.

"It seems we can only ask Mr. Hermit to help."

Although No. 2 is very knowledgeable, he may not be able to penetrate the "seal" and penetrate the power into the "God-Forsaken Land" where they are.

Only the hermit possesses such power.

but.

Before that, she had to discuss it with the chief.

Lovia stared and looked forward——

The altar that was originally in front of her was now completely submerged by some strange food.

She vaguely recognized it.

These grains seem to be called "cakes."

Lovia's expression was excited, and she unconsciously stretched out her hand to pick up one, but she stopped in the blink of an eye.

Then the woman stood up and walked to the door.

Squeak.

A soft sound.

Lovia opened the door and saw Colin sitting on the dim stairs at the bottom, sticking to the only road leading here.

"Your Excellency."

"ended?"

Colin stood up with calm eyes, "How's it going?"

"Come in and take a look."

Lovia raised a smile on her lips.

Colin followed into the house at the top of the tower.

Then, he saw the mountains of cakes piled up. He, who had always been calm and restrained, now had a look of surprise and joy on his face.

Colin turned to look at Lovia, his lips trembling slightly.

Then, he said: "Lovia, you succeeded."

"We succeeded, Your Excellency. As you said, our Silver City is a collective and unites with each other, so we can survive until now."

Lovia smiled.

Colin nodded slightly, then exhaled.

"Seal it up. When you store a certain amount in the future, you can consider distributing them to weaker children first."

“Those kids need them the most.”

He looked at Lovia.

Lovia said: "One more thing, that existence gave me a ritual magic, which can guide and infect toxins and pollution to a certain extent, keeping them away from this area..."

She explained the principles and specifics of the ritual.

but.

Colin interrupted her halfway through.

"Elder Lovia."

Lovia stopped and waited for the chief to speak.

"Don't worry and do it. I believe you will not betray Silver City, and I also believe that the person has good intentions towards Silver City."

"At least we don't have a better option, right?"

Colin looked into the distance.

That is the direction of "Sun" Derrick.

Silver City naturally has another option.

but.

At present, no matter who the great being behind it is, they have not revealed their true purpose, and Lovia has already received some hopes and benefits.

Even he couldn't help but feel emotionally tilted.

of course.

Just tilting, but not giving up on Derrick.

Derrick and Lovia represent two directions respectively, and each is a vital existence in Silver City.

One of them may really be able to save Silver City and bring hope to the entire Silver City.

It could be both.

What you have to do...

Just guide them!

Colin suddenly laughed.

"Your Excellency?"

"Don't worry, I just thought of what you said before, that the area around us in Silver City is actually called the Land Abandoned by the Gods. Is this a sealed land?"

"Yes."

Lovia nodded slightly.

Colin smiled and said: "It's like there is a door blocking us, preventing us from getting out. Now we need to open this door."

"Either people from outside drive in, or we drive out ourselves!"

Colin's eyes focused.

Yes.

What stood in front of them was a door, and unknown and terrifying existences in front of and behind the door.

Of course there will be some great beings to help them.

but.

In the final analysis, they still have to carve out a path on their own and push the door open from the inside.

They bring hope, and I will hold onto that hope and hold the door open.

He closes his eyes.

At this moment, Colin understood his mission.

He chuckled lightly.

"You continue, I will go out and protect you. No one will disturb you during this time."

"Thank you."

……

Roy returned to the Mystic Hall and was in no hurry to leave.

Lovia will definitely ask for help.

because.

As far as he knows, although there are various extraordinary characteristics of the cultivator path in Silver City, there is a huge gap in auxiliary materials——

There is only one normal, edible plant in there, and that is black-faced grass.

They will need themselves.

really.

After a while, Lovia prayed again, asking for help in conveying the message, hoping to get a batch of auxiliary materials for this path, and hoping that Mr. Hermit could provide help when the time came.

Roy agreed.

This is his purpose in itself.

He had an idea——

Carrier, symbol, material.

These are the three elements that make up a scroll, but who said that the carrier can only be various kinds of leather paper?
The essence of the carrier is actually to carry "witchcraft" and power. As long as it can carry the power of materials and witchcraft symbols, it can become a scroll carrier.

Such as the walls and floors of towers.

The materials there have been affected by thousands of years of erosion and erosion, and have become extraordinary. They are naturally the best carriers.

Roy had an intuition——

If this attempt is successful, I might be able to digest a large portion directly.

……

The next day, Roy came to Harvest Church.

Emlyn was in the church, cleaning and wiping the chairs diligently, and his work was much more pious and serious than before.

of course.

He was unaware of it.

Roy watched from the sidelines for a long time.

A few minutes later, Emlyn finished wiping a row of chairs seriously and devotedly, and was about to go to the next row when he noticed Roy.

He was startled.

"Why are you so silent?"

"It's not that I'm silent, it's that you were too involved in wiping. Why, did you feel the kindness and greatness of the Mother Goddess?"

Roy smiled.

Emlyn was stunned, and then said, "Am I very committed?"

"Don't you feel it?"

"No, I just think doing things can bring me peace and let me..."

Emlyn's expression froze as he spoke.

He looked up, with an expression of frustration and collapse on his face, "Green, you have to save me! If this continues, I will really betray the great ancestor!"

"Don't worry, trust your own will."

"I believe it, I believe it's useless!"

Emlyn let go of the rag and sat down, his lips trembling, "I'm so stupid, really, if I had known this, I shouldn't have taken the damn key!"

"Yes, that key is cursed. It will take its owner to a not-so-good place."

Roy laughed softly and said, "The same goes for my friend."

"What happened to him?"

Emlyn cast a hopeful look, eager to hear a more miserable tragedy from Roy's mouth. Only in this way could he be comforted.

"He saw a murder scene."
