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

Chapter 173 You have to help us find the Fool and the Hermit

Made scrolls.

This kind of work is easy.

Now Roy can easily make the scrolls he has mastered, and the resulting scrolls are comparable to the effect of his current witchcraft.

of course.

The specific power depends on the user's spirituality.

After receiving the materials from the Fool, Roy spent a day helping Klein make the scroll.

The materials provided by Klein are very comprehensive.

There are many related to fire and lightning, so Roy helped to make witchcraft scrolls in these two fields.

20 scrolls in total.

After helping with the production, he received 80 pounds in craft fees——

There is some auxiliary material value inside.

This is the price for friends.

For a normal Sequence 6 senior scroll professor, the fee would be at least twice as high or more, and most people have yet to find such an opportunity.

There is no other reason.

The characteristic of pursuing knowledge makes it difficult for wild secret peepers to survive, and even if they do exist, most of them stay in the low sequence.

It is very difficult to become a wizard without sufficient knowledge accumulation, let alone a scroll professor at a higher level.

……

Wednesday on the back streets of the South Side.

"Sister, these are the information we collected through the Grantz Party. These people have been collecting information related to divination and witchcraft recently."

"I understand. Don't go there for a while. It may be dangerous."

Tilly instructed.

"I understand, eldest sister, what's next..."

"You take this money and live in peace for a while. If you need anything, we can arrange it later."

As Tilly said this, she couldn't help but ask, "Dagan, you have been following me for a while, so you should take advantage of this time to do some serious work."

"Isn't it more profitable to do these businesses with you than to go to a factory?"

Duggan curled his lips and dismissed it.

Tilly shook her head.

"It's a lot of money, but it's also dangerous. The people we interact with are from the mysterious world, which is not the same field as ours."

"They can kill us with just a finger."

The deeper her mastery of arcane knowledge becomes, the more Tilly realizes how dangerous what she is doing is.

It is said to be collecting information, but in fact it is a matter of life and death.

of course.

She didn't resent Roy.

Risks and benefits are directly proportional. How can we obtain the many benefits without paying the price?

Her men were silent.

Tilly then waved them off.

After a while, a figure appeared from the door.

"Miss Tilly."

"We meet again, Mr. Cornish."

Tilly stood up with a look of respect on her face.

Entering from this simple room was a man about thirty or forty years old, wearing a black robe and a silk hat on his head.

He sat down naturally on the chair opposite.

"Miss Seer, how do you think about what I proposed before?"

He came up and asked directly.

Then, Cornish sighed.

"It's not that I'm impatient, but after a while, I need to leave Backlund."

"Mr. Cornish, what happened?"

Tilly looked anxious, and then said quickly.

"You know, in my line of work, you need to be aware of the wind direction at all times. If something happens to Backlund, I have to find a way to leave."

Cornish shook his head.

With a flick of his hand, a cigar flew out of his pocket, then he lit it and took a puff.

"It's hard to tell now, and since you're not from our organization, there's no way I can tell you the news for free."

Konis said with a smile, "As a fortune teller who sells information, you should understand what I mean, right?"

"Of course, news is valuable, but news involving lives is priceless."

Tilly was silent after speaking.

A few seconds later, she said: "I got the fortune teller's potion by chance. I didn't plan on getting promoted."

"Not being promoted at a low sequence is indeed a safe and secure choice. If you are really willing to be a fortune teller, then I respect your choice."

Cornish had a smile on his face.

Although he said this, he could almost conclude that the other party had taken the bait and was absolutely willing to join their organization.

Tilly sighed: "If I had not been exposed to this knowledge and had not encountered this gathering, I would indeed be an ordinary Sequence 9."

"Now, I want to know who you are, what are the benefits of joining you, and what price do I need to pay."

Tilly said.

Cornish's expression became serious.

"The name of our organization is the Secret Order. We were established in the ancient Fourth Age. Hehe, you may not know much about the Fourth Age."

Cornis smiled slightly, "That was an era when gods emerged in large numbers."

"God..."

Tilly couldn't help but show surprise and shock on her face.

Cornish nodded.

"The Blood Emperor, Black Emperor, etc. are all from the Fourth Age. You must have heard about the Battle of the Four Emperors, right?"

"Yes."

Tilly nodded.

She had heard of the Battle of the Four Emperors.

The names of these big figures are so loud that many wild low-level Extraordinaries know their names.

but.

very few people know……

They are the true gods.

They all thought that the Four Emperors were just emperors of four powers.

Listening to Cornis, they seem to be real gods.

It's terrible!
  Then, she couldn't help but think -

"The Secret Order has something to do with them?"

"Yes, we were once an important pillar of a country, and together we supported a force."

Cornish nodded.

Tilly realized that the other party's organization might not be inferior to the Morse Trappist Order that Mr. Green wanted to target.

No wonder Mr. Green suggested joining himself.

With the support of such an organization, both promotion and information gathering will be more convenient and safer.

of course.

There will also be corresponding dangers.

but.

This is the price to pay.

Tilly exclaimed in shock: "What a great organization! If I join, can I get the Sequence 8 potion?"

"Of course, as long as you contribute enough."

Cornish smiled.

Tilly thought for a moment and said, "What do I need to pay? I think there must be a reason why you like me."

"Help find some people."

Cornish took out a piece of paper.

Tilly took it.

Then she looked a little horrified.

It says, Look for secret information related to the evil god.

Cthulhu?

She was startled, and then thought of what happened in the East District, and said: "Aurora Society once carried out a terrible activity in the East District, does this count?"

"No, the evil god we are looking for is currently unknown. Even we don't know his name and title."

Konis said, "It is possible that he is called The Fool."

"The Fool? The Fool in the Tarot?"

Tilly first thought of tarot cards.

Konis smiled and said, "Yes, but I'm not sure if it's the name. I'm just providing a reference."

Tilly nodded: "I will pay attention."

"Of course, there is another name that you can also pay attention to. If there are believers who know him or relevant information, they can provide us with it." Conis said in a relaxed tone, "But you can do this as you please. There is no need to search specifically. After all, this kind of news often comes with danger."

"what name?"

Tilly was curious.

Since it is compared with the "Fool", it should be a similar existence, and may also be an "evil god".

Cornis took a puff of cigarette, blew out a smoke ring, and then said slowly: "The Hermit."

"Hermit?"

Tilly thought for a while and said, "Is this an evil god related to some path?"

"Haha, this is a reward from the Moss Ascetic Order, so you can check it or not. If found, we will give you the reward."

Cornish smiled and said, "If there is definite information, you can get a reward of 3000 pounds."

3000 gold pounds?

Tilly had never heard of such a large amount. She lost her composure for a moment and was stunned for a long time without replying.

After a few seconds, she said bitterly: "It's very exciting money, but I'm afraid you can only make it but spend it."

"Very sensible."

Cornish flicked the ashes from his cigarette.

Tilly said: "But investigating the Fool, isn't it just as dangerous?"

"He is not necessarily called a fool. Fool is just a possibility."

Cornish corrected his mistake and said, "Of course it is dangerous, otherwise it wouldn't be worth a potion."

"What if I want to buy the formula with gold pounds?"

Tilly said.

Konis nodded: "This is also feasible, but you also need to help us pay attention to these newly emerged evil organizations."

"Of course, I joined the Secret Order and am a member of the Secret Order. I will definitely help pay attention to the news in this regard."

"Well, welcome, Miss Tilly of the Secret Order."

Cornis smiled and said, "As a gift, you can get a well-made gun. Although it is not a magical item, it can protect you to a certain extent."

Then, he took out a delicate, compact pistol that could be hidden in his sleeve or purse, making it very concealable.

Tilly fell in love immediately.

She thanked him happily.

Chatted for a while——

Mainly talking about some occult content.

Afterwards, Konis was about to stand up and say goodbye.

At this time, Tilly suddenly asked: "By the way, Mr. Konis, I just thought of something."

"Ok?"

"In our southern district, there is a gang that has been secretly smuggling people. Could they be the evil organization you mentioned?"

Tilly throws out the "Polez Party" message.

Konis thought for a while, then picked up a pendant for divination, and the result...

no clue.

It seems to be a simple, ordinary gangster.

He frowned.

"Are you sure this gang has these people?"

"Yes, they annexed the Werther party, and there are some extraordinary people in this Werther party."

Tilly said.

Konis thought for a while and said: "Probably not. They probably don't have such a big power now, but you can pay attention to similar abnormal events."

"Ok."

Tilly nodded.

Cornis smiled, got up and walked out.

When he got outside, he passed an intersection and saw a man closing his pocket watch and then walking in the other direction of the intersection.

……

"Sir, does he believe that?"

"He is a qualified magician, but I misled him before he even walked in the door."

Roy smiled.

The Hypnotist's extraordinary items have their flaws, but it's really good to bully the small ones.

Although everyone can withstand the same level of hypnosis, as a Sequence 6, his spiritual power is stronger and his ability to resist hypnosis is also stronger.

and so.

To a certain extent, he can resist and avoid the cost of hypnosis.

and.

For Roy, this negative effect can be eliminated as long as he enters the mysterious palace once, so it is nothing to worry about.

"Won't you be noticed?"

Tilly was worried.

Roy shook his head: "No, I just gave a slight hint to let him ignore some details."

"Then, about the Fool and the Hermit, should I investigate?"

Tilly said hesitantly, "They all sound like terrifying evil gods. There may be great danger if we pursue them."

"As you said, feel free to do whatever you want. If you happen to come across similar news, you can provide it to the Secret Order."

Roy smiled.

Tilly breathed a sigh of relief.

She was more afraid that Roy would also ask her to track down the "hermit". After all, it sounded like this "hermit" might have something to do with Moss's asceticism.

If not, that’s great!

"After you join the Secret Order, you can be promoted there normally, but you can pass on the news about the Moss Ascetic Order to me."

"You should know the spell."

Roy had told her the messenger spell before, so it shouldn't be difficult for her to summon and deliver letters.

Tilly nodded.

……

After returning home, Roy immediately thought for a moment and informed "The Fool" of the news.

but.

The Moss Dervish Order has even established relations with the Esoteric Order.

"Reward..."

"I have not disclosed any information to anyone, and Forsi has not had any contact with the Moss Ascetic Society recently."

"Hidden Sage?"

Roy frowned.

He had previously speculated that the Hidden Sage, as the only sexual spirit, might be related to the Wilderness of Knowledge.

If the Hidden Sage learned about the "Hermit" through some channel, then he might indeed have a secret connection with the Wilderness of Knowledge.

but.

That connection is not too deep, and there may be a certain degree of differentiation between one's own mysterious palace and the wilderness of knowledge...

That's probably all the content that the Hidden Sage has mastered.

of course.

It could also be a simple leak.

For example, Cattleya and Bernadette.

Although they have reached a relatively high level, they will still receive the attention of the Hidden Sage, and it is still unknown if they learn of the existence of the Hidden Sage at some point.

But one thing can be confirmed.

If the hidden sage knew that he was a hermit, he would have sent people to find him long ago, and there would be no need to search for a needle in a haystack and offer a reward.

Now He should only feel the hint in terms of personality and other aspects.

but.

This also reminded Roy.

As a Sequence 6, he was far from relaxed yet.

The pace of promotion must be accelerated!
  "Digest it as quickly as possible, and then look for opportunities for promotion."

"If it doesn't work out, it's not impossible to go to Element Dawn."

Roy made a plan and continued to draw scrolls in retreat at home.

He didn't go out again for two or three weeks.

of course.

The mystery study meeting and Tarot meeting are proceeding in an orderly manner, basically once a week, and Klein is also preparing materials for Sequence 6.

It is worth mentioning that.

Azik did take out the extraordinary characteristic.

Roy used it to complete a deal with Alger.

of course.

He gave that money to Mr. Azik together with the previous part——

Azik seems to be a little short of money recently and needs money urgently.
