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

Chapter 91 Study Meeting, Klein’s Asking for Help
On Thursday, Roy learned about a party of theirs through Xiqiong.

This is a gathering of Earth Church believers.

There are not only Feneport merchants, but also some Earth Church believers who have developed locally.

Ms. Xijon hopes to win Roy into the church.

Ms. Xijion did not disclose the specific details, but Roy learned through follow-up observation and divination that the time should be Tuesday night.

But not every week, that's up for debate.

Roy decided to continue observing.

In this way, a few days later, Roy's first "mysterious study meeting" after coming to Backlund came.

At [-]:[-] in the evening, he made sure that no one would visit him, and then ascended to the Mysterious Hall.

Roy first confirmed the situation of the Mystic Palace.

During this period, there was no one in particular to pray or seek help from, nor did he take the initiative to seek out or come into contact with new points of light.

The people he is currently in contact with are enough to keep him busy.

In the past 10 minutes, a flood of information has swept through.

After a whirlpool, three figures appeared in the hall at the same time.

Klein bowed upward.

"Dear Mr. Hermit, good evening."

"Good evening, Mr. Hermit, good evening, Mr. No. 2, Mr. No. 3."

Forsi immediately said hello.

The next moment, "No. 2" also said hello.

Roy glanced at Forsi. She looked very expectant. It seemed that she had collected some mysterious knowledge or news during this period.

A gentle torrent of information surged, representing his greetings.

At this time, Forsi smiled and said: "You three, I have collected a book about psychic rituals."

"..."

Klein changed his attitude.

Channeling rituals.

He has learned a lot of psychic knowledge, but he doesn't know if he has learned the ritual of "No. 1".

Not long after, Forsi took out a piece of paper and shared it with everyone.

Roy glanced at it, and then his eyes narrowed.

This is the ritual of the Spiritual Religion.

"Gentlemen, do you know what this is?"

Forsi asked.

"This is the spiritual dance ceremony of the Spiritual Religion. No matter where you got it from, it's best to stay away, because it may be related to the Spiritual Religion. This group of lunatics have been doing some terrible things recently."

Roy admonished.

Klein couldn't help but look at "No. 2".

He also saw that it was "spiritual dance", so he was not too surprised by the first half of Mr. No. 2's sentence. What made him curious was the second half.

The Spiritual Religion Group is also doing some terrible things?
doing what?
Resurrection of Death?
Klein frowned and said, "Miss No. 1, where did you get it?"

"An accident."

A consultation, but unfortunately I couldn’t speak out, which might reveal my true identity.

Forsi thought.

She thought for a while and said: "In this case, this knowledge should not be counted as something learned during this exchange. I will replace it with another one."

"No need. Although it is useless, it is indeed the mysterious knowledge of the Spiritual Religion and complies with our rules."

Klein said, also showing a piece of knowledge.

"This is my experience in this area based on my own abilities."

Roy picked it up and then became a little nervous.

Emotion and expression control.

clown, huh?

It seems that Klein's digestion effect is quite good.

Also.

Performing a clown act in front of Azik and Roy may help him digest it.

Roy thought teasingly.

He exchanged a piece of "magic" research.

These are some little insights that Roy came up with while dismantling and researching spells through Fors.

After Klein and Forsi finished reading, they looked at "No. 2" in surprise, and then they said one after another: "Thank you for sharing, Mr. No. 2."

This experience is very precious!

"It's nothing, just my own little research."

Roy said with a smile.

The three absorbed the knowledge contributed by the other two.

Then, Forsi took the lead again and said: "Several murders have occurred in the East District of Backlund. It is not yet clear who committed the murders, but there should be factors involving the intervention of extraordinary people."

"These are traces of the scene."

Forsi said, using the method of recall to express the memory.

After Klein and Roy finished reading, they changed their positions in tacit agreement.

this angle.

Miss No. 1 was a witness at the scene!

The two were silent for a moment.

Then, Roy said: "We are not detectives. We can't tell anything just from the pattern, but the other party strikes very neatly, and the strength gap between the two sides may be very large."

Klein thought for a moment and said, "Has Qilingos been found?"

"No, I can't find it at all. And I followed Mr. No. 2's instructions and haven't tried it since then."

Forsi said truthfully.

Klein thought for a moment and replied, "Maybe it was Chillinges who did it."

"So Zillinges is still in the East End?"

Forsi's expression froze.

Roy nodded: "It's very possible. Have you done anything since last time?"

"No, I told my friend and then I didn't get involved anymore, but my friend may have reported it to the church."

Foer thought about the trajectory and rumors of the day, and talked about his speculations.

"It's possible that he did it, Creeping Hunger. Haha, from the name, it sounds like this extraordinary item may have negative effects on killing people."

Roy said his "guess".

Klein nodded with deep understanding. Then, he took a deep look at Miss "No. 1" and made new deductions about Miss No. 1's identity.

He previously thought that the other party was also a noble.

but.

Looking at it now, No. 1 may not be a noble, but a middle class person who is qualified to attend noble gatherings and know Miss Justice——

Normal nobles would not go in and out of slums like the East End late at night.

"So, maybe Zillinges is in the East End?"

Klein thought for a while and said, "This kind of people should be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise more and more people will be killed."

"Yes."

Forsi sighed.

Afterwards, Klein told the news about Ms. M's attack on the Heart of Machinery in Tingen, and Roy told some things about the Backlund Arena.

Then, the flashback ends, but Crane asks to stay for now.

Roy canceled the trumpet.

Klein respectfully presented five pages of the diary, and then said: "Mr. Hermit, I accidentally learned that Qilingos' goal may be an item that can help him be promoted to the Four Kings."

in reality--

The Hanged Man reported this matter to him today, hoping to get his attention and help from his beloved, but Klein was helpless.

His "favorite" is still taking care of Captain Dunn in Tingen.

We can't let Mr. Azik leave Dunn, right?
Klein had no choice but to turn to Mr. Hermit for help.

Roy took the diary and threw it on the shelf nearby. He seemed to have no interest in reading it and just kept it as a collection.

Klein glanced quietly and saw that the other party seemed not interested in the topic, so he continued: "Mr. Hermit, do you know what he traded?"

"A card of Russell's blasphemy."

An indifferent voice sounded.

Klein used his clown power to control his emotions, which was quite shocking in his heart.

The card of blasphemy!

really.

What surprised him was that there was such a mastermind who was willing to take out the Blasphemy Card as a bargain.

but.

In this case, Mr. Hermit may not be too interested.

he thought regretfully.

Afterwards, Klein pondered for a moment and asked again: "Dear Mr. Hermit, I want to know what Qilingos's goal is."

"The tide of the times."

The hermit smiled lightly.

What do you mean?
Klein looked confused.

The hermit sighed, and the next moment, everything in front of him turned into a torrent of information and dissipated in front of Klein's eyes.

Tingen, Klein looked depressed.

He wanted to scold him.

At this moment, Klein and Russell felt the same way——

From now on, I’ll fight the Riddler every time I see him!
of course.

He understands.

Based on Mr. Hermit's nature, he probably didn't give enough chips, and he didn't have enough chips in hand for the other party to exchange.

Klein sat on the chair and fell into long thought——

The tide of the times?
What do you mean?
He frowned, trying to think about some information about Qilinges, and then thought of Roy's speculation.

Kill someone, or destroy something?

Also.

Being able to pay for a blasphemy card, and with a high probability of being the blasphemy card corresponding to the sailor, the person behind the scenes is definitely not an ordinary person.

What is their purpose?
The tide of the times...

"Maybe they are trying to push certain events in the direction they want."

"The tide of the times."

"Mr. Hermit is reminding me that someone wants something to go in the direction he wants, so he wants Qilingos to do something."

This thought flashed through Klein's mind like thunder.

If that was the case, he probably understood.

Currently, the only thing Luen is vigorously promoting is the repeal of the Corn Laws.

but.

Industrialization and the abolition of the Corn Laws are the general trend. It has swept across Loen, and most civilians are enjoying the benefits it brings.

of course.

There is also pain.

But in general, the trend is towards abolition.If the tide of the times is like this, then those who resist are naturally the enemies, and those who Zilingers wants to kill may also be those who resist "abolition."

Namely, the Conservative Party.

Klein sorted through his thoughts and felt that his vision was getting clearer and clearer.

He pushed the door open and entered the hall, intending to talk to Azik about Qilingos, but saw that Mr. Azik seemed to have just finished a ceremony.

Hearing the noise, Azik looked up, a smile appearing on his face.

"Dunn will be able to wake up tomorrow at the latest."

"Great!"

……

Roy glanced at the diary.

He had read most of the key information in the five-page diary, but there was some inconspicuous information that concerned him very much.

"Greene left."

There is no date, just this sentence.

It can be seen that Russell was not in a good mood when he wrote this sentence. Just from the words, it is difficult to judge what kind of "leaving" Green's "leaving" is.

He died or went somewhere else.

It seems-

Unless the diary before this page can be found, it will be difficult to know where Green went.

The reason why Roy cares about "Green" is that he feels that the other person seems to be inextricably related to him.

Finding this connection may help you understand the circumstances and origins of yourself and the mysterious palace, and help you determine your subsequent development.

pity.

This is just Roy's intuitive thought and may not be true.

The thread is now broken.

Since Greene and Russell are separated, it may be difficult to see descriptions of Greene in subsequent diaries.

Roy returned to reality and sorted out the clues Tilly had sent over the past few days.

He wrote down all the clues on paper.

According to Tilly, there seems to be little activity in the Werther party recently.

Yesterday, Jingui Distillery received a large amount of new grain.

this means……

The Luyere family compromised with the grain merchants and bought large quantities of grain at higher prices.

Roy vaguely felt——

Things won't end that easily.

His guess became a reality within a short time.

Late at night, a roar came from far and near.

Roy immediately got up and went to the window, only to see a faint flame rising to the south.

That is--

Rue Gard!
Roy immediately remembered the location information.

Gard Street, where Feneport merchants lived and stocked grain, was also the place where fires had been reported before.

but.

According to Tilly's description of the previous fire, although the fire was fierce, there was no such big movement.

There is a play to see!
Roy immediately jumped out of the window, jumped onto a platform downstairs, and then nimbly moved towards the direction of the explosion.

In about 10 minutes, he arrived near the explosion.

This is a single-family villa on Gard Street near the Tasok River, with a relatively large yard.

The person who lived there before was a large Feneport businessman.

however.

At this moment, the entire villa was blown upside down, the entire land was turned up, and the flames were burning on it.

even.

After Roy arrived, there was another small explosion below.

He looked at it for a while, then laughed silently.

The Luyere family…

Absolutely!

The Feneport merchants most likely hoarded the "burned" grain in the basement of the villa, and then all the grain was blown up in the basement.

but.

It's just an ordinary explosion, it's impossible to cause such a wide and terrifying explosion.

Unless people from the Luyere family or the Witte party have the ability to lay out explosives for a long time and make it undetectable by the Feneport grain merchants.

It's hard--

The Feneport Grain Merchant's bodyguard group is likely to include Beyonders.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

What an interesting scene!

The fire in the factory finally became a reality, and now these grain merchants have really suffered heavy losses.

Although the winery of the Luyere family may also face difficulties, maybe this is what the other party wants.

However, another possibility cannot be ruled out.

This incident was neither done by the Luyere family nor directed or acted by Urbano, but a third party was involved in the incident.

Suddenly, in the firelight, Roy saw a figure quietly disappearing into the alley.

Who is that?
He squinted his eyes and activated the Ring of Concealment to track him all the way.

Not long after, he saw a middle-aged man staggering towards the Rue Gard, clutching his chest.

Roy raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

He walked over and emerged from the darkness.

"Sir, you seem to need a little help."

"you you……"

The opponent looked up.

His whole body was charred and covered with burn marks, and he was obviously seriously injured.

The man in front of him was wearing a robe and an exaggerated silk hat. He looked very much like the wizard in the story.

He opened his mouth.

I want to ask for help, but I am afraid that the other person is an enemy.

"Do you need help?"

Roy asked again.

The other party nodded numbly, speechless.

On the one hand there is fear, pain.

On the other hand, his mouth was filled with flames and burnt flour, and he was now in a relatively suffocating stage.

Roy extended his spirituality, took out an extraordinary material from his pocket, and then used simple healing magic to roughly treat the opponent's injuries.

then--

Bang!
One punch.

Roy hit him in the abdomen, not lightly but not hard.

"vomit!"

He kept vomiting, and the mushy stuff was wrapped in his gastric juices and vomited out, turning into balls of pitch-black filth.

The middle-aged extraordinary man vomited continuously, and after a minute, he collapsed on the ground.

"Yes, I'm saved!"

He sat on the ground, panting.

Then, the man looked up and said with tears of gratitude: "Hello, distinguished and mysterious gentleman, my name is Suo Ze, thank you for your help!"

"Nothing, I just happened to be passing by."

Roy smiled and said, "It looks like your granary was attacked."

"Yes, damn Werther!"

Sauze was extremely angry, "All four of my men died in this explosion. Damn it, the Werther Party will have to pay the price for this!"

"See you recover, then I will leave."

Roy didn't seem to be interested in what he said. He smiled slightly, put on his flashy hat and prepared to leave.

At this time, the other party suddenly shouted to stop.

"Wait, sir! Please wait!"

Suoze's eyes lit up and he said, "Sir, are you a wizard? I have often heard rumors about you at sea. I didn't know you were..."

"I am not from the Trappist Order of Morse."

Roy said calmly, "What's wrong?"

"Sir, can you help us!"

Soze said, "Mr. Urbano also needs help."

In the shadows, Roy's lips raised slightly.

He turned around.

"Why should I help you?"

"Mr. Urbano has a lot of money and has a lot of extraordinary materials in his collection. This is why I followed Mr. Urbano."

Soze said.

Roy smiled, turned back and looked at him deeply, and said, "I am interested in a transaction."

"Ok?"

"Are you from the warrior path?"

Roy had a smile on his face.

Suoze was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "Your wisdom and insight shocked me. I am a Sequence 9 warrior."

"I happen to have a potion recipe for a Sequence 8 fighter. Do you need it?"

There was a silence in the air.

then.

"how much do you need?"

"For 450 gold pounds, it's yours."

Roy Road.

"can!"

Sauze was decisive and without hesitation.

Then, he was silent for a while and said, "Sir, you really don't think about..."

"It's a nuisance."

Roy shrugged, "I hate trouble."

Suo Ze sighed and said, "Okay, but I don't have any money with me. Can you allow me to go back and get the money?"

"can."

Roy didn't refuse.

He followed Sauze slowly and escorted him all the way to an inconspicuous two-story low house on Gard Street.

This is more like a place where poor people live.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have thought that the big grain merchant "Urbano Mohan" lived here.

Roy leaned against the dim street lamppost, holding a book in his hand, quietly waiting for Sauze to come back with the money.
