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

Chapter 176 The War of Scrolls, the Power of Knowledge

Roy didn't look for Bernadette.

In the realm of the undead, Azik was the out-and-out boss. The moment he appeared, all the resurrected skeletons and zombies switched sides in an instant.

of course.

At this time, Azik was in a state of nostalgia and seemed to be reviving some memories, so he was not stable.

Beside him, Dunn looked around expressionlessly.

to be frank.

Roy didn't know what the situation was, so all he could do was talk more nonsense and make the other party feel that the atmosphere was scary.

"You, you..."

The Necromancer of the Spiritual Religion sect swallowed his saliva in fear.

In such a scene, it could only be that person!

Although they had retained each other before, the process was not to win by force, but to awaken certain aspects of the other party's memory or consciousness.

Again, none of them felt confident that they could do the same thing themselves.

They had quite a few extraordinary people at that time.

however.

Now, he is alone, with a Sequence 6 scroll professor beside him, but Sequence 6...

forget it.

The opponent is Sequence 2!

The former Archon of Death, the son of Death.

Cold sweat covered his forehead, and he was already thinking about how to escape.

Eret frowned slightly, not realizing the seriousness of the matter, and even threw out a lot of exorcism scrolls at this moment.

Roy ignored him at all.

At the moment when his exorcism scroll was thrown, Dunn's eyes gradually deepened, from dull to focused.

Roy took action immediately.

His target is Eret.

The appearance of Eret was indeed beyond Roy's expectation. The active and extensive actions of Moss Ascetic Society were somewhat beyond his expectation.

but.

Multiple friends have multiple roads.

No matter which side he is on, with Bernadette and Azik here, he has enough confidence, and at this time——

He picked up the Harvest Pendant.

One after another, vines and wooden thorns emerged from the soil, densely piercing Eret.

This scroll professor's scroll reserve is indeed rich.

He immediately used the flame scroll to burn the roots and vines, but the roots were just Roy's inducement.

After using the pendant, he also tore up three scrolls and released the power of three witchcrafts.

One is toxin.

The second is to spread and transport toxins.

The third type is hidden toxins.

These three are all relatively useful scrolls that Roy summarized during his research on the scrolls of the earth path.

The effect of their combination is...

The moment the roots and vines are burned, the toxins immediately erupt in the thick smoke of the flames.

"poisonous!"

Eret immediately realized something was wrong.

but.

When he turned around and wanted to find his "partner" for help, he found that the necromancer was trying to escape with the help of spiritual creatures and jumping to the spiritual world.

???

Eret was stunned for a moment.

what's going on?

He raised his head and looked at the undead mist intently, and then——

A great fear arises from within.

Can not watch!

I'll die if I watch it again!

All kinds of warnings came to mind, and the next moment, a pair of eyes appeared above his head.

Eret was reminded.

Angel!

A death archon.

His heart was cold, and he immediately understood why the members of the Spiritual Religion Group on the side did not resist at all, and immediately planned to escape.

but.

As they prepare to escape, a large door appears around them.

The quaint door opens.

The next moment, amid the rumbling sound, giant hands stretched out from inside.

"No! Great Death Archon, please don't kill me, we all sincerely hope you return!"

The Necromancer shouted.

but.

At this moment, Azik was still reminiscing and had not yet awakened. Dunn, with a cold expression on his face, directly drove the undead in the door to drag him inside.

Terrible screams came from inside.

A Necromancer...

Just so dead.

Roy was not unambiguous here either.

The moment the Death Gate appeared, he noticed Eret's attempt to use the witchcraft scroll of the Sun Domain to fight back again.

but.

When the opponent used the exorcism scroll, he also used the power of the "hermit monk" to pull most of the shadow power from all around.

Shadows cannot fight the sun, but they can offset some of the damage.

This is a similar principle to the other party's previous use of night witchcraft.

Simultaneously.

Roy took advantage of the barbarian's extraordinary characteristics and used the madness effect, combined with the twisting ring and hypnosis, to further madden and expand the opponent's emotions.

Under the emotional interference, the other party's eyes instantly became angry.

but.

Soon, he seemed to calm down.

Hidden sage interference?

Roy squinted his eyes slightly, feeling a little surprised, but then he realized -

Eret, like Danai and the others before him, is one of the core members of the Moss Ascetic Order.

They have all been transformed by the Hidden Sage.

This may be the effect of some kind of transformation, similar to the effect of triggering blessings from one's own mysterious palace.

He has limits after all, and he cannot use all his firepower to help the "mysterious waiter", or even help stop Bernadette.

For example.

He cannot help remove the toxins from the other person's body.

This can be seen from the state of the other party's etheric body under the "Eye of Peeping Secrets".

Roy thought of this and continued to tear apart the poison scroll.

The scrolls were torn open one by one.

One after another, vines and tree roots broke out of the ground under Eret's feet. Roy even used the extraordinary characteristics of a biologist——

This extraordinary characteristic can directly contaminate the vines and tree roots derived from the Harvest Pendant with toxins.

Eret didn't dare to use flames to burn it again.

but.

They themselves also emit toxins.

He fled desperately, not daring to stay, but after escaping outside the park, his body gradually felt seriously weak.

Toxins have invaded the body!

Eret had just taken out a purification scroll, trying to detoxify it with the healing magic he had mastered.

result.

When he escaped to a certain position, two scrolls were suddenly thrown over.

That is……

With his spirituality and clairvoyance, Eret recognized that this was a flame scroll.

The other party wants to take the initiative to detonate the toxin?

He immediately threw a bottle, and a piece of medicinal powder fell and turned into a wall of trees on the ground.

Eret hopes to use wooden walls to actively intercept the flames.

Roots and vines emerged from underneath, and he immediately used witchcraft to leverage the power of the wind to levitate himself.

but.

The next second, something he didn't expect happened.

It does hold back the flames for now.

but.

The burning wooden wall, with flames surging like the sea, instantly turned into a fierce dragon and rushed towards him.

This is……

Arsonist?

Damn it! How come he has so many extraordinary items!

Eret regretted it.

He originally thought that this time the other party came alone and it should be foolproof, so he did not go to the mysterious waiter for help.

however.

Unexpectedly, the opponent's strength far exceeded expectations.

and.

think carefully……

The opponent has a Death Archon as a back-up, so even calling the mysterious waiter doesn't seem to be of much use.

Maybe the difference is that you get more?

but.

We are not at the end of the road yet.

Eret originally thought so.

but.

The next second, before the flames could reach him, a shocking explosion swallowed him up.

Eret's eyes widened, feeling the pain of the flames burning his body, and it was still a bit unbelievable——

How can it be!

It didn't touch itself at all!

During the explosion, wooden thorns pierced his body one by one. About ten seconds later, Roy stood at the scene where the flames were extinguished, with a smile on his face.

Who says the earth can only transport toxins?

Gas can also move in the soil, and some gas can be transported here with the help of wind and the natural force of the earth.

Some gases can burn.

such as--

biogas.

This is also a kind of witchcraft that Roy has recently developed.

Roy stood in front of the other party and fell into deep thought for a long time.

reel……

For the scroll professor, scrolls are of course very important, and having complete and comprehensive scrolls is indeed the first element.

but.

One thing is equally important.

"Don't let the opponent know the ability of your scroll, and during the battle, you can mislead the opponent appropriately so that the opponent misunderstands the purpose of your scroll."

Roy tried to sum it up.

Then he felt a less intense surge of digestion.

correct.

However, the level of digestion is not high, which means that my summary is not accurate, or that my understanding of Professor Scroll's combat is not comprehensive.

but.

At this stage, even a small portion of the digestion was enough to encourage Roy.

Such a degree of digestion would be difficult to achieve if one relied on scroll creation unless a brand new witchcraft scroll could be devised.

but.

Creating a scroll requires a huge amount of knowledge.

Roy's income from the Church of the Earth has made it difficult to create new scrolls, but there seems to be potential in combat that can be tapped.

"The focus of the follow-up seems to be to fight more and find out the rules of Professor Scroll in battle."

Roy thought.

Then, he bent down and reached for a piece of human skin.

Even the flames failed to scorch it, but instead gave it a mysterious and primitive texture.

Various information is reflected on it.

Some are about witchcraft, and some are chaotic and mixed knowledge. It is not systematic and only reflects the knowledge of the predecessors in confusion.

Roy picked up the piece of human skin.

This is the extraordinary characteristic of the Sequence 6 Scroll Professor.

He observed it in his hand for a while, and then when he was about to make some move, he suddenly felt something——

Roy vaguely felt that the Hidden Sage was watching him.

but.

The gaze lasted only a second.

Soon, that feeling disappeared.

Roy came back to his senses and looked around, only to see Dunn skillfully starting to bury the corpses.

This behavior has become almost instinctive.

Digging and burying.

Each action was carried out mechanically.

Roy couldn't help but feel a little pity, but then thought -

This ending may be the best outcome.

He sighed inwardly.

"what happened?"

"Mr. Azik? Are you finished?"

Roy turned his head.

Azik stood behind him.

The other party nodded slightly.

"I remembered something from the past."

His eyes were clear, but his expression was a little confused.

"I once traveled across the ocean, spent a few short decades here, and had a family and children."

Azik said calmly and indifferently.

Roy nodded, and then mentioned the cemetery he mentioned before.

“Did you remember to build a cemetery?”

"I have some impression."

Azik replied, "I built that cemetery for my child who died young. He lost his life when he was ten years old."

He looked towards the southwest.

That's the direction of the cemetery.

"Every memory is a reincarnation."

"This is the price of immortality."

Azik said calmly.

Roy couldn't judge.

If you are not a person involved, you cannot understand the feelings of the person involved.

On the contrary, he was curious.

If he is really the previous "Green", then how did he manage to "live out the second life"?

of course.

Whether this is the case has yet to be determined.

Roy and Azik continued to discuss, and Azik was very calm about his past memories.

but.

This is not a manifestation of divine ascension.

in contrast.

Roy could feel that Azik was full of emotions now——

Even he didn't look directly.

"Mr. Azik, how is Dunn doing now?"

"not bad."

Azik smiled, "In other places, he collects corpses and digs graves more mechanically, but after returning to Tingen, his recovery has obviously accelerated."

"At the current rate, it will take at most a year for him to return to normal communication levels."

Then, Azik smiled: "For a person who almost died, this is already a good result."

Roy nodded in agreement.

Dunn cleaned up the cemetery and restored everything to a clean, peaceful state.

Regrettably.

This cemetery resembles a mass grave.

Many cemeteries do not have tombstones, and even if some do, the bodies and skeletons cannot be identified.

and so.

Descendants who come to worship in the future may worship the wrong target.

This is no way.

They are not gods and cannot be identified individually.

but.

Under the tomb, Azik found the bones of his child.

He was sorted out by the necromancer and placed in a coffin, with some materials from the corpse collector's path placed around him.

Roy could see it.

This is a ritual, and its function should be to bring out the power of the descendants of the God of Death in the bones.

Those piles of terrifying undead before were affected by it.

Roy didn't speak, but stood quietly aside.

After cleaning up the scene, Azik carried the coffin.

He thought about it.

"Let's go to Almas Cemetery. I want to see it there."

at Almas Cemetery.

He stood there for half an hour.

Finally, Azik sighed: "This is where I used to live."

"what?"

Roy was surprised.

residence?

This was once "Almas Manor" and not a cemetery?

"Then why did it become a cemetery?"

"do not know."

Azik answered.

He thought for a while and said: "I hope I can find the answer this time and understand why. All my descendants in the past have suffered from such things."

"Do you have an answer?"

Azik glanced over.

Roy thought for a while and shook his head slightly: "No, I can't imagine that your manor will be reduced to a cemetery. It's unimaginable."

"..."

Azik looked in front of him, his emotions a little turbulent.

Then, he sighed.

"It's not impossible for natural evolution to happen."

"In the past few decades, I have only had one heir like this. Maybe the servants helped bury it, and it's not necessarily that it was abandoned afterwards."

"I may also find more memories that will unlock the answers in my heart."
