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

Chapter 51 Hermit, failed attack

"By the way, I need to remind you that I brought something back, so you'd better hurry up."

Ms. Owl said.

Bring something?
what?
Roy was startled for a moment, and then thought of the extraordinary characteristics that had disappeared before.

Could it be that……

He quickly put on the clothes he wanted to take off, and walked out the door regardless of his own murmurs and interference.

Just two steps away.

rear--

choke!
One beep.

The window was broken open and a man burst out of the shadows.

Roy's whole body tensed up and he understood the situation instantly.

That hermit!
The other party may have originally wanted to take advantage of his bathing time before taking action. After all, he would not take anything with him while bathing, which is when people are most vulnerable.

however.

Neither he nor the other party expected that Ms. Owl would say those words, so that the outcome would completely change.

Roy reacted immediately and pulled out his demon hunting pistol.

Bang!
A shot went off.

There were screams from below.

The opponent's body melted into shadows, like a black mist, and he nimbly avoided the bullets.

Bullets are useless!

Seeing the black mist approaching, Roy no longer hesitated and threw another flash grenade.

boom!
A blinding light filled the room.

The opponent closed his eyes to avoid being blinded by the bright light, but his figure was inevitably exposed.

In addition, Roy's main goal is not to kill him with a grenade, but to use a flash grenade to create opportunities and gaps for himself.

The amethyst pendant in his hand shines brightly.

"Raving!"

The ancient Hermetic language fell.

In an instant, a torrent of information emerged from the crystal and poured into the opponent's body.

This one is not Mr. Men's babble or roar, but the real indoctrination from the Hidden Sage.

The difference is that this spell is full of useless nonsense and verbal abuse.

It does not have any extraordinary power in itself, it is just completely messy, disordered, and incomprehensible knowledge.

Even though the hermit monk has experienced the two sequences of Secret Prayer and Listener, and his resistance to babbling is already very high, he was still tortured and his brain was empty for a while.

He endured unspeakable pain and wanted to blend into the shadows, but his spiritual conflict was so intense that he could not hide stably at all, and part of him disappeared and appeared.

Bang!
A shot went off.

Demon hunting bullets penetrated his body.

however.

He is not dead.

The hermit blended half of his body into the shadow, using the shadow to distort the light just a little bit.

The bullet missed!
Fortunately, Roy didn't completely pin his hopes on bullets.

He fired three rounds in a row, while using his left hand to help put on the rage mask. Seeing that the bullets were inaccurate, he threw the pistol away and picked up the cane from the door.

Hold the cane upside down, use the tail as a handle, and strike across the target with one strike.

boom!
A muffled sound.

The opponent was forced to resist with his hands, and then the figure retreated to escape.

but.

Roy turned his hand, and the cane rotated flexibly, and the curved part accurately hooked the opponent's shoulder. Then he exerted force and pulled the opponent forward in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, the dagger from his left hand stabbed out.

In an instant, blood gushed out from the hermit's arm.

There were bursts of roars coming from his mouth, and there was a terrifying and strange power in his voice.

This is one of the extraordinary abilities of a listener.

Roy was already mentally polluted and could not bear its influence.

He had a splitting headache and quickly retreated to distance himself.

The hermit recovered a little, and he was about to chase him as soon as he disappeared, but at this time, the owl lady finally arrived.

She flew in from the outside, quickly flew a claw, and the strange power interfered, grabbing him out of the shadows.

Roy stepped back, picked up the pistol and fired again.

He didn't look at his vision, but attacked at the location of the opponent's etheric body.

Bang!
One shot.

pity.

Just looking at the etheric body cannot accurately hit the vital point.

The hermit didn't dare to entangle, and his figure jumped back and merged into the shadow outside the wall.

He ran away.

That's what Roy thought.

But when he moved to the window with sunlight, he soon saw Leonard fighting with him again.

Maybe it was because the old man hung up before that he misjudged Leonard's upper limit of strength...

Rather than flee, the hermit attempted to kill Leonard.

then.

He was killed by Leonard in a way that he could not understand - the opponent's attack was obviously not fatal!

Roy understands.

His life was stolen.

Without the divine contamination of the true Creator, Pales would not tolerate him.

Although it was a pity that he could not get the opponent's extraordinary characteristics, with his own strength, he could not kill the hermit monk at all, and he might be attacked by sneak attacks.

The situation now is the best possible outcome.

Roy breathed a sigh of relief, took off his angry mask, and waved down.

Leonard smiled slightly, took off his hat in return, and then walked towards the stopped carriage.

……

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. After all, we are about to have a cooperative relationship, and maybe it was the things I brought that attracted him."

The owl lady lowered her dark red ears.

Perhaps because it was contaminated by the true Creator, it was even weirder than the one Roy saw in his dream!

but.

This "lady" was surprisingly unaffected.

Roy's face was solemn.

"Ma'am, I think we should first talk about why you chose me."

He needed to figure out whether it was the aura from the mysterious palace that attracted it, or other reasons.

Owl Lady said, "I feel the call."

"But what I held was just an ordinary ceremony, not a messenger contract."

Roy continued to ask.

Ms. Owl flapped her wings and complained: "I don't know what's going on. I thought it was a messenger contract. It's not easy to meet someone who meets my eyes."

Eye to eye?
Roy was silent.

I always feel like there is something wrong with getting it for free.

Roy thought for a moment and said, "I need to think about it for a day. Can you give me a precise sentence to summon you?"

"A spirit that wanders in the void, a friendly creature that can be driven, Nina Arigo who is willing to be your messenger."

The owl lady said in ancient Fusac language, "It can point to me stably for a while."

"Okay, I will definitely give you an answer by tonight at the latest."

Roy replied sternly——

He is going to the Mysterious Hall for divination before he can decide whether to agree to Ms. Nina Arigo's request and hire her to be his messenger.

and.

He had to solve his own problems first, otherwise he would not be able to think quietly.

The owl lady disappeared into the room, leaving behind the ears she had carried along the way.

This is the extraordinary quality of a listener.

It's just that it's special.

The heavy pollution on it, combined with the complicated circumstances of death at the time, formed a natural and extraordinary object.

Roy repeatedly divined and confirmed that there was no abnormality left on it before ascending to the palace.

Arriving at the mysterious palace, Roy quickly transformed into a spiritual figure, turning himself into a torrent of information.

Then, he peeled off the cocoon and used the power of the mysterious palace to pull out a little bit of pollution inside.

After regrouping again, Roy felt like he was back to normal.

That part of the pollution was wrapped in information flow and sealed on the bookshelf of "harmful knowledge".

Maybe it will be useful in the future.

At this moment, he clearly felt something strange about himself and saw the disharmony in himself——

Regarding the issue of the listener's extraordinary characteristics and the divinity of Lanervus' true creator, it was not that he had forgotten, but that he had been guided and influenced, causing him to forget the key.

This is the power of 008 and the audience approach.

"It's impossible to guard against."

Roy couldn't help but sigh.

Although Ince Zangwill is a bad screenwriter, the script is strong enough.

Fortunately, I was cautious enough and well prepared.

of course.

The owl lady was also very helpful.

Roy picked up the remaining pendant.

"Ms. Nina Arigo is kind to me."

The pendant spins wildly clockwise.

It couldn't be more true.

"What happened to Ms. Nina Arigo and me was influenced and guided by extraordinary factors."

The pendant rotates counterclockwise.

“The people behind Ms. Nina Arigo have good intentions towards me.”

The pendant didn't move.

Too little information.

Roy sat in his seat and thought for a long time, and finally made a decision——

"Hire the Owl Lady."
