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

Chapter 87 The Fool: What do you want me to do?
In a hotel on rue champagne.

"Lady Liliana."

"Accident?"

The woman in the mirror sounded dissatisfied.

Lani lowered her head and said, "Yes, the orphan who lived above me seemed to have joined the Church of Steam. He died, so the Church of Steam said they would fund her to open a welfare home."

"Church of Steam? Haha, it's not the Church of Steam here in Backlund. If you can't handle it, just come back. There are a lot of tasks here."

The lady replied seemingly mildly.

"Ms. Liliana, please give me another chance. Although there was an accident, I will complete the mission."

Lanny said hurriedly.

The lady had a smile on her lips, and there seemed to be a trace of ridicule and contempt in her eyes, and she left the last sentence.

"It's up to you. In short, if you can't complete the task, go back to Backlund, otherwise I will make you understand the price of betrayal."

"I would never dare to betray you, madam!"

Lannie's voice trembled, as if she had thought of something that frightened her.

When he looked up, the magic mirror had already returned to its original appearance, like an ordinary mirror.

Lani sat blankly in her position and didn't speak for a long time.

"Mrs. Traore has taken care of you for many years, and you betrayed your benefactor like this?"

"you again!"

Lani's eyes narrowed, "This is our mission, it shouldn't have anything to do with you, right? If you want to meet Mrs. Liliana, I can help introduce you next time."

"Need not."

Roy pushed his lowered hat up a little, "Maybe you have forgotten who I am..."

"We know each other?"

Lanie realized something was wrong.

however.

The next moment, she felt dizzy.

poison!
The other party was poisoned!
She immediately wanted to jump out of the window, but her physical weakness slowed her down a lot, and she felt an invisible hand seem to push her in from near the window.

When turning around.

A mask with an "angry" expression was facing her.

Bang!
A cane struck him head-on.

Lanny's head hurt violently, and blood flowed from the top of her head——

Thanks to daily exercise, Roy's body is in great shape, and what he just used was Fusac's fighting technique.

Nothing fancy, just pure use of power.

Bang!
bang——

Lani, who was herself poisoned, suffered a splitting headache from being beaten with two sticks, and fell directly to the ground. She raised her head with difficulty and despair, and saw eyes full of rage.

She doesn't understand.

Who is the other party and why should he kill her?

The next moment, the opponent's cane stopped.

Lanny raised her head with difficulty and fear. Then, her pupils shrank and she thought of a possibility...

"You, you are Roy! Are you not dead?"

"You shouldn't have come back."

Roy suppressed his emotions and picked up Lanie's own pistol from the side.

"Oh!"

One shot.

Blood stained the floor.

Roy slowly took off his mask and controlled the anger in his heart.

He originally had no feelings for "Lani", and his cognition came more from the memory of his predecessor, but if she hadn't been so ungrateful...

The most Roy reported was to the church.

but.

After listening just now, he couldn't bear it anymore.

Roy was silent for a long time, waiting for the extraordinary characteristics to precipitate, then picked up the extraordinary characteristics belonging to the assassin, then destroyed the spirit queen belonging to Lanni, leaving the magic mirror and leaving through the back door.

He was very familiar with the alleyways around here.

All the way back, I was basically familiar with the road, and it was impossible to be discovered by the Heart of the Machine or the Nighthawks.

When he reached a secluded corner, he used fire magic to burn the bloody clothes.

After everything was dealt with, Roy returned to Azik's home.

An hour passed.

"Officer, look at this situation..."

The innkeeper turned pale.

He never expected that a murder would happen in his store.

"What's the rush? We won't know what the situation is until we finish the investigation."

scolded a police inspector.

The boss immediately apologized.

Leonard said nothing and lowered his body.

After careful identification, he looked at the table——

There stood a round vanity mirror.

His psychic vision is not as good as that of Klein and Old Neil, but as a Sequence 7 nightmare, and with an old man on hand to remind him, he won't miss such clues.

magic mirror.

These haunting witches!
He was silent for a moment and said, "We will strictly control the news. Don't worry, it won't affect your business."

"thanks, thanks!"

The boss saluted repeatedly.

Leonard stood up and asked him to leave, leaving only him and Frye.

"what's the situation?"

"I don't know, but the other party's spirit has disappeared, and the mirror on the table should be a magic mirror. She is an extraordinary person on the assassin path."

Leonard said, "The identity is not yet known and may need to be verified."

"I found this."

Fry took out the note.

This is the note on Lani's body. It was contaminated with blood, so that most of the text could not be read clearly, but the address could be vaguely made out.

An apartment on the next street.

Very familiar.

He thought about it for a moment and remembered why this apartment looked familiar——

"This is the apartment where Roy lives."

"Roy? He..."

"what happened?"

Leonard tilted his head.

Frye hesitated for a moment and said: "You may not have paid attention in the past two days. The Mechanical Heart team was attacked by Ms. M of the Aurora Society. Roy died after being cut off. The Mechanical Heart has issued a wanted order."

Leonard was silent.

It turns out that the Mechanical Heart was also attacked yesterday. No wonder the Punisher came to the Nighthawks to support him, but the Mechanical Heart did not move at all.

"I remember that the lady in the apartment is a believer in the Church of Steam?"

"Yes."

"Let me go and ask, check the information, and learn about Roy's situation."

A trace of sadness flashed in Leonard's eyes.

Although he and Roy are not from the same church, the other person's character and cooperation proposition are very appealing to him, and he has considered the other person as a friend in his heart.

In one day, he lost his captain, his partner, and a friend.

Aurora Club!
He clenched his fists, his nails digging into his flesh.

……

"What did you go out for?"

Klein smelled the smell of blood. After tapping his teeth to activate his spiritual vision, he saw that Roy's emotions seemed a little confused.

Emotionally depressed, irritable, and depressed.

"I took one look at the landlord and happened to see something unpleasant."

Roy smiled and said, "There are always a lot of ungrateful things in the world. Emperor Russell summed it up very well, farmers and snakes..."

It's Emperor Russell again.

Klein's mouth twitched slightly, Huang Tao, you are really everywhere!

In fact, Roy didn't know whether the emperor said it, but compared to saying such words in his own mouth, it was obviously more consistent with his understanding that the emperor had said it.

Klein didn't ask further.

The two of them had been dating for a while, and he understood Roy. The other person was not someone who killed innocent people indiscriminately, and the truth behind the matter might not be very positive.

Before returning to the house, Roy suddenly stopped and turned around and said, "Klein, go back and take a look."

"what?"

Klein pretended not to know.

Roy smiled and said: "Take a look at your family and then decide for yourself whether you want to meet them at the right time."

Klein didn't answer.

Roy said to himself: "It feels good that someone cares. For me, although Mrs. Traore is not a relative of mine, she shed tears for me after learning about my death."

"She was a kind lady."

Klein replied.

"Maybe when I'm about to go crazy, thinking that someone still cares about me will give me infinite power."

Roy sighed.

Then, he opened the door and went in, saying, "I have already booked a ticket to Backlund tomorrow morning. Klein, we will meet again in Backlund."

"Ah."

Klein looked at the sleeping captain.

The captain often says——

We are guardians, but we are also a bunch of wretches constantly fighting against madness.

Regarding this sentence, Roy, as a spy, undoubtedly has more experience.

Maybe Old Neil understands too.

Therefore, even though he was bewitched, he still used methods that did not harm others.

Klein looked out the window and finally made a decision.

He's going to check it out!
Even if it's just a final goodbye.

……

Back inside, Roy arranged the clothes he bought.

These are his changes of clothes.

pity.

There is no way to get back my modified coats, which I spent a lot of money to modify.

After going to Backlund, I might have to change a few things.

Moving is all about money!

Roy thought for a moment and took out the Assassin's Extraordinary Characteristics.

It's beautiful, yet eerie.

Unexpectedly, Lanny downstairs turned out to be a female assassin and a subordinate of a witch after going to Backlund.

He was silent for a moment and looked outside.

Azik is not here.

Klein seemed to have just left the house.

Roy ascended to the Mysterious Palace, and then collected this extraordinary characteristic into the palace. Now his palace contains many extraordinary characteristics.

In addition to the extraordinary characteristics of "Fighting Scholar" as the core of the trumpet, there are also the extraordinary characteristics of Bishop Rose and Assassin.

In addition, there is a special extraordinary item——

Dirty ears.He looked at the ear.

"I have to find a way to seal it so that I can use it in reality. This way it will be foolproof."

The last time he faced Ms. M, if Roy could use this extraordinary item to amplify Mr. Men's ravings, Ms. M might explode on the spot.

Roy thought for a moment, called up the star map, and then pointed at a flashing purple light spot on the star map.

It represents Frank.

Spiritual extension, relying on the ability of the mysterious palace, he and Frank built a spiritual channel.

……

On the Future, Frank held a book and studied it carefully for a while, then threw the book aside.

"They are all a bunch of guys who don't understand the greatness of life."

Frank pouted.

Wheat can only be with wheat?
What is the logic!

Wheat, chickens, and cows are all living things, why can't they be hybridized together?
It's too narrow.

"Mother Earth, look at these miserable ordinary people, they are simply blaspheming the greatness of life!"

Frank sighed.

Then, he looked outside.

"Maybe I should ask Mr. Hermit for help, and I haven't repaid the price before, but how should I see him?"

As he was thinking, he felt that the words around him seemed to come alive, and streams of information floated out from the books.

Frank was swept up in the whirlpool of information and was in a trance.

Wait until he returns to normal——

The strange yet familiar place is already in front of us.

The palace of the hermit!

Frank was overjoyed.

"Dear Mr. Hermit, I finally see you again!"

"Huh, you seem very distressed."

Roy chuckled lightly.

Frank nodded repeatedly: "You asked me to take a few steps back. I have figured it out! I am currently studying how to hybridize chickens and wheat, so that eggs can grow in those wheat grains——"

He talked excitedly about his creation.

Roy was a little nervous, but fortunately he was in the information state now, so even if his expression changed, he would not be seen.

Communicating with Frank is really a huge challenge!
If we seriously think about that kind of invention, our outlook and thinking will be greatly shocked and polluted.

No wonder the people of the Earth Church could not bear it and expelled him.

but.

This kind of weird invention is very suitable for Silver City.

There is nothing there.

The residents have been eating black-faced grass to survive, and they have to suffer the madness caused by the extraordinary item "black-faced grass"——

A curse from a god-level sealed object.

by comparison.

A strange-looking plant, it is truly a gospel-level creation.

However, plants such as rice and wheat may not be able to grow in dark places like Silver City.

Mushrooms are still the best crop.

Roy waited for Frank to finish complaining, then smiled and said: "Frank, for normal people, your creation is indeed terrifying."

"Do you even think so?"

Frank heard the voice-over——

The other party also felt that he was wrong.

Roy smiled and said: "But there is someone who is as thirsty for knowledge as you are and happened to come to me for help. Her situation may be suitable for you to use, and she hopes to meet you."

"Is it suitable for me to play?"

Frank was a little confused, but at the same time he was also interested, "Can you tell me what the situation is?"

"That place was abandoned by the Seven Gods, so it is also called the Land Abandoned by the Gods. There is only darkness, lightning, and no light, so normal plants cannot grow, only black-faced grass."

Roy smiled slightly when he said this, "This is a plant derived from sealed objects."

"Derived from sealed objects..."

Frank was a little shocked, and then sighed, "Plants can be derived from such a bad situation, this sealed artifact must be very powerful!"

As for the place abandoned by God.

Frank hadn't heard of it, and he wasn't very interested in that mysterious knowledge.

"This is precious knowledge."

Roy said with a smile.

The meaning is self-evident——

Need a price!
Frank came to his senses and saluted quickly: "Mr. Hermit, I haven't paid you the previous reward."

“You just have to recall the knowledge you want to provide.”

Roy stretched out his hand gently.

After his promotion, his spiritual improvement was enough to support long-term communication with Frank.

Frank tried to remember.

Then, he discovered——

Pieces of information representing words and pictures dispersed from his location and gradually gathered into a book.

His name is on the book.

Frank was so shocked that he was stunned for a few seconds before he said: "Dear Mr. Hermit, can I take a look? I'm sorry, but I really..."

"It doesn't matter, this is your knowledge."

The book fell gently on the table.

Frank opened it.

The text above is very orderly, and the very beginning contains some of his thoughts and perceptions when he first became a "cultivator".

Amazing!

He thought about the scene just now.

Those kinds of words seemed to come alive, arranging and combining themselves, and finally turned into such a record.

Frank held the book respectfully between his hands and raised it above his head.

The book fell onto the bookshelf next to it.

Roy said calmly: "This is the knowledge related to Silver City. You can have a rough understanding and then decide whether to agree or not."

"it is good."

Frank nodded.

Roy waved, and another book floated down in front of Frank.

Frank opened the book.

Then, a dark city came towards us, and a beautiful woman stood on top of the city wall.

she was

boom!
Thunder and lightning.

The silvery thunder light cut through the dark night sky and illuminated Silver City.

"It's daytime in Silver City."

A woman said to herself, "We in Silver City have no sun or moon, only eternal night and lightning, so we call the time when lightning intersects daytime."

She told about the state of Silver City.

"There are no plants here. We tried many times but failed in the end. The only food sources are prey and black-faced grass."

"That is the most reliable and stable source of food in Silver City, but I suspect that it hides elements of madness. It is a gift and the source of madness."

"I want to change that."

"I think you should be an Extraordinary person on the Cultivator path, and can be valued by Mr. Hermit. There is no doubt about your ability. We have a lot of Extraordinary materials in Silver City."

"But we are short of food..."

She kept telling.

Frank looked very carefully, and everything in Silver City was revealed in front of him.

In this dark environment, it is really difficult for ordinary plants to grow.

rather say.

If black-faced grass grows naturally, that is a miracle——

A miracle belonging to Mother Earth.

Frank was very curious about this sealed artifact. He thought about it and said, "Mr. Hermit, I agree to help, but I hope to have a deeper understanding of this sealed artifact. In addition..."

"I need the Druid sequence potion formula."

He looked at the hermit anxiously.

Roy said calmly: "This is a deal between you. I can help you convey your request."

"Thank you for your kindness and generosity."

Frank bowed slightly to show respect.

"Ah."

The next moment, the palace quickly collapsed and turned into a torrent of information.

Frank opened his eyes, his heart racing.

"The dark environment, and the black-faced grass, may also add some influence from that aspect, it is best to be able to effectively fight against madness."

"It's a little difficult."

"But this is what makes it challenging!"

……

Frank agreed.

Roy was not surprised. With Frank's character, he would definitely agree to such a challenging research.

Because in Silver City, his research may be recognized and needed.

He glanced at the other star point.

This star is the same as Frank, medium in size, and represents "Lovia Tiffany".

He pointed a finger, and a stream of information was transmitted.

Then—

In Silver City, Lovia, who was walking around and inspecting the outside, suddenly stopped moving, with a pious expression on her face.

After a while, she looked surprised and put her hands together in front of her chest, as if praying.

There is no other reason.

The content of the information flow is——

A man covered in a torrent of information spoke up and stated his conditions.

Understand the sealed objects.

Druid recipe.

Sealed item...

Lovia was startled, and soon understood that the so-called sealed object should refer to the thing that produced the "black-faced grass".

Is that a sealed item?

At first, she was confused as to how the other party knew, but then she quickly realized -

With Mr. Hermit here, it is not surprising to know this.

Is this a bonus?

She thought to herself.

"I have to collect more knowledge about those two sequences to satisfy Mr. Hermit as much as possible."

Lovia was thinking and suddenly looked upstairs.

Then, she saw a young man standing above, who seemed to be looking at her just now.

Derrick?
That boy who is full of fighting spirit.

She glanced back, and the other person immediately looked away, as if he had returned to the room.

"Am I scary? There's something weird about this guy."

Lovia thought.
