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

Chapter 199 Leonard: Did Dai Li meet the hermit too?

"How could this be?"

Leonard was in disbelief.

Ince Zangwill…

The enemy he had always kept in mind, the goal he had fought for so far, was actually long dead.

He was stunned for a while, and then looked at Dai Li.

"Madam, is it possible that part of Ince's body has been reduced to ashes? After all, even a Sequence 5 might not be able to withstand that level of power, right?"

Pales chuckled in his heart.

"You did use your brain this time, but it's a pity that it was just to deceive yourself to make up for it. Ince should really be dead."

Leonard ignored him.

and.

At this moment, Dai Li was in front of him, and it was impossible for him to respond to Pales.

Dai Li shook his head slightly.

"It's unlikely, and according to my guess, the captain may have forcibly switched the sequence, and now he's in the same sequence as me, so I can have some subtle sensations."

"This this!"

Leonard became more and more unbelievable.

According to the old man’s common knowledge from the popular science before, although the two pathways of Sleepless Man and Corpse Collector are adjacent, they can only jump without cost if they reach Sequence 4 or above.

The captain only had Sequence 7 when he "died". How could he do this?

In addition, he clearly sensed the captain's aura in that heart, which should be the captain's extraordinary characteristics -

It is also the current sealed artifact of the Church of the Night.

3-912.

It will pull people within a certain range around them into a common dream and forcibly suppress them for a period of time.

Negative effects...

Amnesia, gradually showing madness, and easily mixed with some special memories.

Those memories come from the Nighthawks before Tingen.

That was the source of the captain's amnesia.

Everything points to the fact that Dunn's extraordinary characteristics have been separated and turned into a special sealed object together with Saint Selina's ashes.

but.

Dai Li looked determined.

"Dunn must still be alive! If you don't believe it, I will find it myself. Anyway..."

She was startled slightly, and suddenly remembered that she still owed debt——

Those two scroll professors.

They are the targets Mr. Hermit wants to kill.

She took a deep breath.

"After the things with Backlund are over, I will apply to become a Red Glove. I will definitely find him!"

"this--"

Leonard was slightly startled, but he didn't expect Dai Li to be so decisive.

He hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

"I believe you may have actually sensed something, but even though the captain may still be alive, he may still be a crazy creature now."

"It doesn't matter, but I hope you will report it. If the church knows about it, it will definitely find Dunn at all costs and kill him."

Dai Li lowered her head, "This is my little request, okay?"

"What are you going to do if the captain becomes a monster?"

"I believe he won't. I will capture him and seal him behind Charles Gate."

Dai Li looked towards the grave.

Then, she said in a low voice: "If he is really hopeless, I will kill him and then bury him here for real."

Leonard was silent. He looked at Daly, with a trace of distress in his eyes.

"Ma'am, there's no need..."

"No, it's necessary. I'll handle it quietly. Dunn is still a hero. He died for Tingen, not to become a monster."

Dai Li looked at the tombstone, feeling particularly determined.

Leonard was stunned for a few seconds, then lowered his head: "Yes, they died for Tingen. If they really became monsters..."

"If they all go crazy, I'll bring them all back."

Dai Li whispered.

Leonard sighed.

"I will keep the secret. In addition, I will continue to stay in the Red Gloves, strive to master a team as soon as possible, and search for their traces together."

"Thank you."

"No, if Captain and Klein really didn't die in that battle, for me, there is a reason why I have to find them."

"No, I mean, thank you for trusting me and being willing to accompany me on this trip. After all, this kind of thing actually seems crazy to me."

Dai Li smiled and then put the ashes in, "Let them live here for a while."

"Ah."

……

"Old man, you said before that she might have gone to that place?"

"The feeling is the same."

Pales said seriously, "I didn't think about it at first, but then I thought about it carefully. How can any spirit sense something that even I can't distinguish?"

"Only Him!"

Pales was determined.

Leonard looked upstairs, feeling worried.

Ms. Daly...

Did you make a deal with him in order to learn about Captain Dunn?

Don't know what she paid for.

but.

If the hermit told her the news, it seems that the captain and Klein are really not dead——

At least not in the usual sense.

They still exist in some form.

"Old man, according to your previous analysis, the extraordinary characteristics in that heart belong to the captain."

"If the captain really becomes an Extraordinary on the corpse collector path as Ms. Dai Li said, is there still a possibility of salvation?"

Leonard whispered.

Palles thought for a while and replied: "The path of corpse collector is rather special. After reaching Sequence 4, it is also called undead."

"Immortal? Do they really not die?"

"Well, they won't die, but it's actually equivalent to death. Their memories will disappear and then return one after another within sixty years..."

Pales told him about the undead.

Leonard listened quietly.

After a while, he understood.

"You mean, if there is help from high-sequence people in this way, it is possible to resurrect the captain?"

"It's just a possibility, because I don't know much about this path. Maybe you can ask that person."

Pales replied.

Leonard hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head: "Forget it, the price of exchanging it must be extremely high, otherwise Ms. Dai Li would definitely exchange it."

"Isn't that enough? No matter what the result is, with your current ability, you can't come up with matching chips, and you can't save your captain."

Pales said, "You still have to work hard to become a Sequence 4 as quickly as possible. The future may not be peaceful."

"What do you mean?"

"Every secret existence has begun to revive, which is a bad sign in itself. And don't you remember why I am parasitic on you?"

"Hide from enemies."

Leonard was slightly startled after answering, "You mean, your enemies may also..."

"That's for sure. He has never been silent and is very powerful. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to just parasitize you and not directly find someone to revive his power."

"I understand. After a while, when I have fully digested it, I will try to apply for promotion."

"Ah."

……

"Ms. Dai Li actually came here again to exchange the lives of two scroll professors on a very important issue to her."

"Knowledge has different values ​​for different people."

Roy sighed inwardly.

Whether it is technological knowledge or mysterious knowledge, the value is different for different people and organizations.

Astrologer——

When acting, how should the knowledge of this sequence be handled?

Collecting is part of it.

but.

Past experience has proven that actively collecting and seeking knowledge can be performed, but it is only the least effective way to perform.

If you want to be promoted quickly, you must find the corresponding "rules" and summarize the rules.

"Astrologer."

"Trouble, the farther this path goes, the harder it is to play."

Roy sighed secretly, took a look at the star map, confirmed that Leonard had not "applied for a call" and then left the Mysterious Hall.

In a short time——

No one should come again.

……

The next day, in Audrey's manor. “Hey, I still have no clue, but the manor has already started working on it, and we can start producing seeds today.”

Roy came to the manor in a carriage.

He glanced around.

The place is huge.

but.

In fact, he does not need to actually research or select seeds, he only needs to bring the seeds of the Church on Earth.

The so-called research is just a cover.

It's just a process performed for the nobles.

of course.

Audrey is not that easy to fool, especially the dog next to her.

Roy glanced.

Susie has been following him. Although she tried her best to gather her spirituality and emotions, she would not let the other party spy on her behavior, habits, emotions and thinking.

but.

There is also a problem with this kind of covering up, and it will definitely show its flaws in the long run.

Roy narrowed his eyes slightly.

Susie took a few steps back in horror.

It feels a terrible threat!

other side……

Staring at myself!

Susie backed away in horror, not knowing whether to use human language or barking, and she even forgot how to pronounce it.

It has never experienced this kind of terrible pressure.

"Your name is Susie, right."

"Wang Wang!"

Susie wagged her tail to make herself look more like a real dog.

It remembers what to do!

but.

The tall blond man squatted down and looked down at it like a giant, his eyes deep and strangely spiritual.

"You should be an extraordinary pet, worthy of the Hall family, a famous rich man in Loen."

"!!!"

Susie was horrified and quickly wanted to retreat, but at this moment, she felt a terrible gravity——

It doesn't know if it's gravity, but it's a terrible force that makes it unable to move.

This is the extraordinary ability of the Sequence 7 "serial killer" in the criminal path.

It can exert the power of "broken wings".

Namely, gravity.

"Extraordinary pets for viewers, interesting creatures, worthy of study..."

Roy chuckled.

Susie barked.

After a while, Audrey came running over.

"Susie, Mr. Egger, what are you..."

"Nothing, I found that your pet dog is very spiritual, so I took a look."

Roy smiled lightly.

Susie fled in horror, not daring to stay any longer.

Audrey smiled and said, "Susie is the golden retriever I adopted. She is indeed the smartest among those dogs."

"It will be a very useful helper for you,"

"Yes, it helps me a lot, and it doesn't require me to take care of it too much. You may not believe it, but it often takes care of me."

Audrey said with a chuckle.

She didn't know yet that Roy had "seen through" Susie's identity and was still pretending to have feelings for a normal pet.

Roy smiled slightly and said, "As long as you treat it sincerely, it will treat you sincerely. The relationship between people and pets such as cats and dogs is so simple."

"Where's Kazuto?"

Audrey asked with a smile.

Roy shook his head: "People are much more complicated. The emotions and resources you invest may not be rewarded by the target. What you get back is a knife that stabs you."

"a knife?"

"Yeah, you think the other person is your friend, but that's not necessarily true. He may not think so."

Roy chuckled.

Then, he stood up and said, "Let's go."

"Can that batch of seeds be used?"

"It's pretty good, but it's not ready for use yet. Its effect is only 50% that of the Church of the Earth."

Roy replied.

Is this only 50%?

Audrey was shocked and asked: "What is the original seed content of ours?"

"About 30%."

So much difference?

Audrey only made a rough calculation and understood how big the gap was.

this means……

From the same land, Fenebaud can produce three times more food.

How could Runen be able to fight?

No wonder those foreign grain merchants can sell such low prices.

after all.

They also need shipping fees and losses to get to Loen...

After deducting those, the price of food in Fenebote was far lower than she imagined.

"Mr. Egg, I have a question."

"explain."

Roy stopped.

Audrey asked, "Are there any poor people in Feneport?"

"Of course."

Roy didn't hesitate.

He has never been to Feneport, but according to Liyana's description, the situation there is different from that of Runen, but not too different.

Industry continues to encroach on Fenneport's lands.

The gap between rich and poor still exists.

“It turns out that even in places with so much food, there will be poor people.”

Audrey sighed.

"There will be poor people everywhere, at least there are places where they can survive and there are places where they can't."

Can't survive?

Does it mean Backlund?

Audrey's heart sank.

"Do you still have any questions?"

"No, not anymore. Thank you for your answer."

"It's nothing. As a collaborator, I can tell you some common things for free."

Roy smiled.

Audrey nodded slightly, then called, and Susie quickly ran out of the darkness and escaped onto the carriage.

Audrey laughed dumbly.

"Susie may have been scared before. Sorry, I'm going back because I didn't tell my family that I would eat lunch outside..."

"It's okay, I still need to collect some materials here to see if I can cultivate the next generation of seeds."

"Thank you for your hard work."

Audrey saluted and then boarded the carriage.

The servant drove the carriage toward Queens.

After arriving at home, Audrey asked: "Susie, what's going on?"

“He recognized that I had extraordinary abilities and he knew I was in the audience.”

Susie said fearfully.

Audrey's eyes widened in disbelief.

"he knows?"

"Ah."

Susie nodded vigorously.

Audrey was surprised.

"Does he really know me?"

"I don't know, but he's scary."

"I see."

Audrey frowned, then looked at Susie, "Please help me look outside. I need to think calmly for a while."

perhaps……

Not knowledge, but an extraordinary ability.
