Chapter 123 The Secret of the Black Emperor
Chapter 123 The Secret of the Black Emperor
Bernadette was slightly surprised, and then hesitated for a while.
She completed the ceremony and was at a level where she could choose to be promoted to Sequence 2, but she vaguely felt that if she chose to be promoted at this time, she might encounter failure...
This kind of wonderful foresight and luck had helped her overcome difficulties several times, and this time The time fell on herself.
The fact that the other party was able to pull her up silently was enough to prove his power and mystery. Even if he was not a hidden sage, he might not be benevolent - the
faint sense of devouring and assimilation brought about by this temple was the biggest example.
Bernadette didn't dare to make any unusual movements, let alone raise her head to pry.
She lowered her head and thought about the questions she should ask.
After thinking for a long time, Bernadette gritted her teeth and said, "I want to know whether my father Russell Gustave is dead or not, and what happened to him in his later years." ?"
After asking, her eyes focused.
This was the question that lingered in her mind tonight.
This was the thorn in her heart that kept her in a state of hatred and disgust for so many years, but deep down in her heart, she longed for the truth.
That is.
Russell's choice back then had another hidden meaning.
perhaps.
Is it this question, as well as his relationship with the Hidden Sage and Russell, that attracted the attention of this being?
She couldn't be sure, but it was obvious that she had interests that the other party wanted to gain, otherwise there was no need for a hidden existence to see her.
Bernadette calmed down and became confident.
At least.
I shouldn't die here.
"If I want to exchange the answer to this question, what knowledge or price do I need to pay?"
"This involves extremely deep secrets, and you need to pay a big price,"
Roy said with a smile.
"For example?"
"A card of blasphemy."
"..."
Bernadette lowered her head and understood the other party's intention.
The mysterious card of blasphemy given to her by Russell.
Every blasphemous card is extremely precious and contains huge secrets. The knowledge on it can be exchanged for huge benefits just by looking at it.
The other party didn't know where she learned that she had the blasphemy card in her hand...
No!
It is too easy for these secretive beings to know that they have the card of blasphemy.
After all, his surname is Gustav.
Bernadette was silent and hesitant.
She relied on the knowledge in the card and the gifts left behind to establish the current "Elemental Dawn", so she could not hand over the "Hermit" card no matter what.
But she has other cards up her sleeve.
So.
The final question is reduced to...
the answer, the Card of Blasphemy.
Which is more important?
Bernadette no longer hesitated and said: "I can use the 'Wheel of Fortune' in exchange."
Wheel of Fortune?
This means...
the Hermit card is not negotiable?
Roy flicked his fingers and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm only interested in the card of blasphemy. It doesn't matter which one." "
If you achieve something, can I know the secret of the card of blasphemy?"
Bernadette asked. .
Roy smiled and said: "It depends on your attitude."
My attitude?
No.
Maybe it's Element Dawn's attitude.
Bernadette took a deep breath and said, "We are firmly opposed to the Hidden Sage and his Moss Ascetic Order. There is no doubt about it."
"Okay."
Roy smiled lightly.
Bernadette nodded and said: "To show my sincerity, I can sacrifice the Wheel of Fortune card first. How can I give it to you?"
Roy narrowed his eyes.
"You just need to return to reality, arrange the altar, and recite 'Hermit' repeatedly in your mind."
"Yes."
The next moment, Bernadette returned to her residence.
She sat in her seat, hesitating whether to continue the transaction.
Continuing to trade...
there may be dangers, but there may also be opportunities, and if this hermit really has the same personality as the "Hidden Sage".
Then people who are looking into the secrets of the Dawn of Elements will have a new way out, and it is possible to avoid the pain and danger of "knowledge drives people away".
but.
Once it was a trap -
Bernadette closed her eyes, reviewed the situation just now, and finally thought that this possibility was not high.
The other person seemed to mean well.
She went through the ceremony and took out the sealed "Wheel of Fortune" card, and then performed the sacrificial ceremony. There were no prayers...
only the silent recitation of "The Hermit" in her heart.
And at this time.
Above the mysterious palace, Roy arranged numerous rituals to strengthen the connection between himself and Bernadette -
this ability has been verified by Lovia, and it can indeed strengthen the connection, and the prayers and rituals themselves are only for It just strengthens the connection between the two.
When the other party repeats "hermit" silently.
This connection was further strengthened. Roy leveraged the power of the Mystic Palace, took the "Wheel of Fortune" card from the altar, and brought Bernadette to the Mystic Palace.
Back in the Mysterious Hall, Roy took the "Wheel of Fortune", turned it over and over, and then smiled softly.
Bernadette was curious in her heart and stood there quietly waiting for the answer.
Then, he heard a low laugh: "When Russell created it, he should have been contaminated by a high level, but he mistakenly thought it was his own ability." "
My father was already the emperor of knowledge at that time, even if he was hidden It's impossible for a sage to pollute him, right?"
Bernadette's first reaction was disbelief.
However.
But the other party smiled and said: "The hidden sage is not qualified. I am referring to the existence above the starry sky."
Above the stars?
Bernadette's beautiful eyes widened slightly.
"This part of the knowledge is very dangerous. Just knowing it will attract attention. All you need to know is that your father's actions are all related to his being contaminated."
Roy replied.
Bernadette still didn't quite believe it in her heart.
Her wise and powerful father was actually tainted to the point of committing all kinds of unwise actions later on, but...
after comparison, she felt it was very reasonable.
If it were not for pollution, it would not be able to explain the various strange operations of her father, who she considered to be a wise and wise father, in his later years.
At this time, an indifferent voice came from above.
"As long as a new Black Emperor does not appear, the previous Black Emperor will not truly die. Russell wants to use this characteristic to eliminate pollution." "
What a pity."
"He doesn't know what his pollution means."
It turns out that ...
The truth turns out to be this!
Bernadette's heart exploded like thunder.
All this was so shocking to her that she didn't respond for a long time, her mind was in chaos.
After thinking confusedly for a long time, she said dullly: "Then, then..."
Doesn't that mean.
Father is not dead yet?
Bernadette was filled with surprises and asked hopefully: "Then my father is not dead yet?"
"Yeah."
Roy casually threw "Wheel of Fortune" on the bookshelf aside, as if he didn't care at all, and then said softly, "Here we go. Here, for its sake, I will give you two as a gift."
"Please give me your instructions."
Bernadette bowed her head respectfully.
Roy said calmly: "First, don't touch the moon and mother cards. Second, Loen's royal family is preparing for the Black Emperor's promotion ceremony."
Huh?
Bernadette was confused, and then her eyes suddenly collapsed.
Later, she found herself back at her residence, as if it was just a dream, but the disappearing "Wheel of Fortune" showed that it was all real.
The great being known as "The Hermit" met her.
"The Hermit should be the competitor of the Hidden Sage. They are all competing for the divine position above. The Hidden Sage has a special status, while the Hermit has a special palace..."
Bernadette secretly thought.
Then, she sighed softly and thought about the content of the conversation in the hall.
The huge amount of information was too much for her to handle in the palace. When she returned to reality, she started from scratch.
"My father was polluted in the stage of the Knowledge Emperor."
"After that, he wanted to remove the pollution and forcibly jumped to become the Black Emperor. This is also the reason why he pursued power and war at the end of his career." "
In the end, the Black Emperor could not Decontamination—"
How terrible!
Even Sequence 0 cannot remove the pollution. No wonder this hermit is so secretive that he dare not tell himself about the pollution.
Just as the other person said.
In a very secret place, she would be fine even if she knew, but once she returns to reality with the knowledge, she might attract the attention of that being.
When the time comes...
her end will not be much better than that of her father.
Bernadette played with an ornament unconsciously, and then a determined smile appeared on her face.
Now my father still has a glimmer of hope!
and.
He did not lose himself for power, he just wanted to save himself and get rid of pollution. It is conceivable that pollution at that level cannot be eliminated by simple suicide.
Today's father may still be fighting against madness.
"Must become stronger!"
"Only by becoming stronger can it be possible to save him, such as destroying the promotion of the 'Loen Royal Family'. Before that, we may be able to rely on the power of these great beings." When a
new Black Emperor appears, the old Black Emperor will die.
This is the rule mentioned by the hermit.
and.
She knew very well how many disasters and catastrophes would occur if she wanted to become the Black Emperor. This was the case with Backlund now.
Under the seemingly prosperous water surface is the best soil for evil gods.
She must prevent Roen from being promoted to the emperor. To do this, she must become Sequence 2 or even higher.
Bernadette's determination was unprecedentedly determined, and she realized that the best state for her promotion had arrived.
"Thank you, great hermit."
No matter what your purpose is, at least this time, you really helped me.
Bernadette shuttled and left Backlund.
...
"Wheel of Fortune."
Roy pinched the card in his hand, changed from his previous calmness and disdain, and held it preciously in his hand.
It was indeed a bold adventure for La Bernadette to come up. His confidence lies in his connection with the mysterious palace and having the knowledge and answers that Bernadette needs.
Asking for a card is also to make everything seem reasonable.
Too bad it's not the "Hermit" card.
If you get it, you don't have to worry about the formula before you become a god.
but.
no way.
It was impossible for Bernadette to take out the Hermit card, and his status and level did not allow him to care too much about the "Hermit" card.
Wheel of Fortune is also acceptable.
Through the cards of the Wheel of Fortune, he can exert certain special abilities, just like Klein used the Black Emperor card to perform some strange operations.
Although I don't know how to make paper people and can't conjure paper angels, the most important thing about the hermit's path is information and spiritual numbers.
Information flow bombing has the same effect.
Roy couldn't help laughing when he thought of this.
"I helped Klein cross the river, and now Klein helped me cross the river."
"Haha."
Then gradually, his laughter stopped suddenly and turned into a sigh.
The more powerful you are, the more terrifying the threats and madness you face.
Like Russell.
He thought he was the son of destiny, but in the end he had to choose suicide to cut off the pollution. The same was true for Mr. Men.
The King of Angels even yelled to death his own descendants.
If it weren't for the various threats, as well as the hidden secrets and strange situations, Roy would rather choose to stay in a certain sequence.
Maybe not powerful, but life is worry-free.
This emotion only stayed for a moment, and Roy got rid of it on his own, then held the Wheel of Fortune card in one hand and the astrology device in the other.
After further confirmation, the planetarium indeed has no special abilities.
But since it was left by "Green", it must have special meaning, maybe it is the key to a certain place.
"Key?"
Roy pondered, thinking of the place names he heard when he was promoted to Sequence 6.
Virginia.
The mysterious place of Fusac.
Could it be the key to the path to "Forgania"?
If so, then it should have an "astrology chart" somewhere -
the basis of astrolabe divination is the astrolabe, but according to the knowledge Roy absorbed from "Astrology Analysis", there is another "astrology chart" in astrology. A more advanced astrolabe divination.
It needs to be combined with the astrolabe, astrology and horoscopes at the same time to achieve it.
According to the book, at that time point, the fortune teller can get stronger guidance, then the question arises -
astrological signs.
Is it worth believing what comes up from the stars?
Roy shook his head and placed the astrology device in the mysterious palace, not intending to really find its secrets.
This may be a trap.
after all.
According to the available information, both Green and Russell were contaminated. Their final endings were similar, but different from the original memories - the
original ending of Green was very clear.
He died in the Sea of Mist and never returned to land. Russell still lamented and lamented in his diary, regretting Green's death, and claimed that they could have arranged better things if Green was here.
but.
He could not find this part of the diary in Russell's diary in this life.
Green's fate has obviously changed, and it may be related to him, which is becoming more and more obvious from the information Bernadette told him.
Roy organized his thoughts and couldn't find any more clues for a while.
but.
He had already seen the potion formula in the book.
"Sequence 5, Astrologer."
"Extraordinary material: a piece of star crystal, the core of the ancient ghost." "
Auxiliary materials: 5 grams of hexagonal crystal powder, 10 grams of ancient ghost dust, 100 ml of any elven spring water, gold Bell flower with 8 petals."
"Promotion ceremony: when corresponding to a star phenomenon, take the magic potion in the sound of the three-eyed night crow."
Three-eyed night crow.
Roy searched for memories related to this creature in his mind, and finally found a record of it in "Astrology Analysis".
"The three-eyed night crow has a tuft of white hair that grows just in the middle of its head, forming an eye-like shape with the surrounding black." "
It is very curious about the starry sky and often calls for an hour continuously when a certain star appears. "
Is this to connect oneself with the stars through the stars and night crows to achieve the purpose of releasing the magic of the stars?
Roy pondered, then sighed, returning to reality.
It's useless to think about it any more.
Now he has just reached Sequence 6. Let alone the Three-Eyed Night Crow, he has not yet decided where to play Professor Scroll.
Professor Scroll.
This professor should be synonymous with "rich in knowledge". He does not really need to be a professor to teach others knowledge.
That is what the savant, the master of the occult, needs to do.
Roy sat at his desk and thought for a long time, and finally felt that he should study and broaden his knowledge to master more scroll knowledge-
no matter how the sequence of the secret-peeping path changes, mysterious knowledge is still its core pursuit after all.
"Draw a scroll."
"Hunting Moss Trappist Order, the wool comes from the sheep, and the materials have to be found from them in the end." "
And there is more."
Roy wrote down one by one in the notebook, and wrote on the third Tiao paused for a moment, then wrote -
"Build your own network of relationships."
He was already doing this.
Tilly and Gary are all part of his network, and it's hard to say whether they will become his followers and anchors in the future.
But at least something came from nothing.
It's just a little barren.
As for Silver City, if you can fight for it, fight for it. If you can't win, there's nothing you can do.
Having made a plan, Roy raised his lips slightly.
These things can be done together, and it doesn't take much time. Once you stabilize your condition, you can go to sea.
Faster than expected.
The next day, there were ten scrolls stacked on his desk, five of which were stacked together, and the remaining five were divided into three and two stacked.
Five water wave scrolls.
Three exorcism scrolls.
Two flame scrolls.
Roy has mastered all three types of scrolls, among which the water wave scroll is the most proficient. The level of the exorcism scroll and the flame scroll is not very different.
but.
In just one day's work, he was able to create a flame scroll and an exorcism scroll, which was already a very good progress.
In the afternoon, Roy had a meal outside. When he came back, he had a newspaper in his hand. The headline read -
The Aurora Society carried out horrific evil rituals in the East District of Backlund, the Bridge District, and the Dock District. Killing people for this purpose Countless people have died, and Mr. A and Mr. Z of the Aurora Society are now wanted across the country.
"Haha."
Roy put the newspaper aside with a sneer on his face.
...
In the giant bronze palace, Klein was sitting on a chair, with a vague figure standing on his right.
"Hello, Mr. Fool."
The other party's voice was low and he bowed to salute.
Klein raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said with a low smile: "Hello, Mr. World."
...
At three o'clock in the afternoon, a deep red light enveloped five people in different places at the same time.
In the giant bronze palace, Roy opened his eyes.
Then, he saw one more person on the opposite side, and sitting in a position on their side was a vague figure.
Two new people in one go?
The Hanged Man raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised.
The growth rate of Tarot Society suddenly accelerated.
but.
Will they be the subjects of the investigation that Miss Justice mentioned?
Alger looked across.
The person sitting next to "Justice" looks very short, less than 1.6 meters tall, but it is not ruled out that the other person is disguised.
As for the guy next to me.
He couldn't see the other person's features at all.
(End of chapter)Chapter 124 Stop pretending, I am 'the world'!
Chapter 124: Stop pretending, I am 'the world'!
"This is the 'Judgement'."
"This is the 'World'."
"Sit down and introduce yourselves."
The Fool introduced them one by one.
"Justice" Audrey said first: "I am Justice."
"The Hanged Man."
Alger said.
Then came Little Sun, and finally Roy -
everyone introduced themselves in the order in which they joined, except for the Hanged Man and Justice, who joined at the same time.
This will make it easier for newcomers to learn about Tarot Club.
"I heard Mr. Fool say that you can trade what you need here?"
"The World" said hoarsely.
"Yes, but now is Mr. Fool's reading time. If you want to trade, you have to wait until later."
Alger said displeasedly.
The Hanged Man then submitted a six-page note to The Fool.
Waited for a while.
"Huh?"
came the Fool's surprised voice from above.
Roy suddenly became curious -
what did Klein see that made him unable to control his emotions and make such a sound?
If it hadn't been something that shocked him so much, he certainly wouldn't have lost his composure.
It's a pity...
He couldn't separate it and take a look, unable to satisfy his curiosity.
but.
Maybe wait and see?
Roy waited quietly underneath.
After a while, "The Fool" put down the diary in his hand, and then chuckled: "You can start."
Isn't Audrey curious?
Roy was slightly disappointed, then gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Fool, can what you were surprised about just now be used as part of a transaction? If so, what do I need to pay?"
Huh?
Klein was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but chuckle: "Okay."
What are the conditions...
He thought for a moment and said, "You need to accept a commission from me."
Another commission?
Roy hesitated for a moment and said, "Can I know what the commission is?"
"It's not a difficult task. You have to help me collect information about the Secret Order."
"The Fool" said calmly.
Well.
Roy didn't know what to feel for a moment, but he said without hesitation: "I do!"
"This condition also applies to you."
"The Fool" said with a smile.
Everyone hesitated for a moment and nodded: "We are willing too."
Including Hugh Dilcha.
Although she didn't know what was going on, everyone seemed to be very interested in the knowledge revealed by this great being.
and.
The Moss Ascetic Order is Cha, so wouldn't one more Tantric Order still be Cha?
Too much debt does not weigh you down.
She's completely used to it.
"The Fool" chuckled and said: "Someone cracked Russell's notes and imitated a similar diary."
Sure enough!
Roy's breath was stagnant, his eyes were full of longing, and then he quickly sighed: "It's surprising that besides you, Mr. Fool, there are people who can decipher this kind of text." "There are
many hidden existences in this world that are resurrecting, and there are others It's not surprising that it was cracked."
"Thank you for your answer. I wonder if I can learn this kind of writing from you one day."
Roy lowered his head to show his desire.
"The Fool" smiled slightly: "If you have enough contributions, I can consider it."
The final right of interpretation lies in the hands of the Fool, right?
Roy cursed.
but.
On the surface, he still had to look grateful and pious.
The others were also shocked and amazed.
In addition to Russell and the Fool, there was actually a contemporary of Russell who mastered this kind of writing and wrote a fake diary.
It seems to be a very simple thing, but it is actually puzzling -
why would that person imitate writing a diary?
and.
Being able to see Russell's diary, he must be someone familiar to Russell...
Audrey thought quickly, and then she couldn't help being slightly shocked, and understood why Mr. Fool made that sound.
This is indeed something to think about and marvel at.
After a moment of exclamation, everyone began the trading session. Klein manipulated the world and proposed a deal for the magician's extraordinary materials.
Little Sun accepted the commission and offered weapons in exchange as before.
"The Hanged Man", "Justice" and others also put forward their demands, including the newcomer Xio, who saw the heated atmosphere and followed suit.
For a time, the Tarot Club was as lively as a market.
Roy said nothing.
He smiled and waited for everyone to finish speaking before saying: "Mr. Hanged Man, have you acquired the knowledge about craftsmen?" "
Sorry, I just went to sea recently and haven't met that friend yet."
Alger said awkwardly, "I will definitely give you an answer next time we get together."
"Okay, thank you."
Roy nodded, and then said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have some scrolls for sale. If you are interested, you can buy them at a low price.
" Delly suddenly became interested: "Scroll? Is it the same as the scrolls of the Steam Church?"
"Yes, Miss Justice."
Roy nodded with a smile.
Klein was secretly envious—
according to Roy's wishes, he had been promoted to Scroll Professor and was now seeking a new role and promotion.
Scroll might be how he plays it.
In comparison, I am only Sequence 8 now, and even the materials for Sequence 7 are still in preparation.
"I'm interested in, um, how many do you have? Can I have some of each?"
Audrey didn't dare say it was all inclusive -
she wasn't quite sure how much Roy had.
"There are currently 10 of them. The power of the scroll is roughly equivalent to the witchcraft effect when I was just in Sequence 7. Currently, it costs 10 pounds. When I become more proficient, the power of the scroll will definitely be stronger, but the price will also increase accordingly."
Roy calculated Pass.
As an individual, he cannot share the cost with quantity. The immature technology in the early stage will cause extra losses. The average cost of each scroll is about eight to nine pounds.
The price of 10 pounds is actually just a little bit of labor fee.
"I want them all."
Audrey replied happily.
Her tone...
was just "very cheap".
There was a long silence.
This kind of rich man's courage is really difficult for other people who are relatively poor to express.
Although it is only ten pounds each, the 10 pieces in total are close to half the price of a sequence 9 extraordinary main material.
Only Roy, as the seller, slightly raised his lips.
"Miss Justice, they only require a part of spirituality and can give you the ability to protect yourself in a crisis. You will never regret it after you try it." "
Thank you, Mr. Hermit. If the effect is good, I hope to make a reservation." Scroll."
Audrey said immediately.
How could Roy agree? He leaned on his chair and smiled and said, "I'm not sure if I'll be free and have materials this week, so I can't guarantee it for now. Let's talk about it at the next party."
"Okay."
Audrey regretted He sat back down.
The Hanged Man was actually very moved, but he really didn't have much money on hand - he didn't
make much money, and he still had to prepare the recipes and materials for Sequence 6, so he probably still had a big gap.
Alger could only sit in poverty and envy.
Roy looked at Alger.
"Mr. Hanged Man, if you obtain suitable materials at sea, you can give them to me. I can purchase them or only charge a part of the foundry fee."
Alger was stunned for a moment, then ecstatically nodded while suppressing his emotions: " Okay."
"Mr. Sun, Mr. World, Miss Judgment, you are the same."
Roy smiled.
Derrick and Xio nodded slightly to express their understanding, but...
The World sneered: "You don't need to tell us what materials, how do we know?"
"Any extraordinary creature's body parts are fine. Making a scroll requires researching various materials. This It's a long process."
"I'll pay attention."
He nodded.
Klein was envious in his heart, but also very happy -
Roy was strong, and as a friend he was naturally happy.
not to mention.
The materials purchased by the other party are all parts and components, which does not affect the acquisition of extraordinary characteristics. To them, it is just like extra money.
Why not?
The manufacturing industry will definitely require subsidies in the early stage. Roy has been mentally prepared before. Now he can not lose much money and even make a small profit. He is quite satisfied.
After talking about their trading projects, everyone's atmosphere suddenly became relaxed, but at this time, Little Sun raised his hand and said worriedly: "I have one thing, and I hope to get your help." This time
he did not directly say "The Hanged Man" , "hermit".
"The Hanged Man" Alger looked at Derrick curiously.
"What's going on?"
"It's still our elder. She originally led the team to hunt a few days ago, but the plan was temporarily changed. She hunted alone, and the rest was led by another elder."
Derrick She frowned and expressed her worries, "She seemed to have gone to see the chief before going out, but I have no way of knowing what they talked about." "She
went out alone? I remember you mentioned that it's very dangerous outside. Are you allowed to travel alone?"
Alger said in surprise.
Derrick nodded and said worriedly: "Yes, this is what I'm worried about too."
Obviously.
From Little Sun's perspective, Elder Lovia, as the "shepherd", may have now convinced the chief to follow her strategy and direction.
Roy naturally knew that Lovia helped him hunt the "Crazy Tree Spirit", but he couldn't tell him about it.
Because he learned about the "Crazy Tree Spirit" from Little Sun.
but.
He had to say something to clear up the misunderstanding between the two.
After thinking for a moment, Roy said, "What happened after she came back?"
"She entered the dungeon and seemed to be undergoing examination and baptism."
Derrick said.
"Two possibilities."
"The World" said coldly, "One, she is not afraid of being investigated, and two, she will not be investigated."
"There are two possibilities for the first one. She did not do anything, so she is not afraid, The second is that she doesn't worry about being scrutinized and having her problems discovered,"
Roy added.
"The World" nodded slightly.
If it's the second type, it's very scary.
This shows that the chief and the elders have reached a consensus...
Little Sun is obviously more panicked.
He didn't know how to hide his emotions, so he was a little incoherent now.
"Then, what should I do? Should I do something?"
"What sequence are you in? What can you do?"
Roy glanced at him.
A Sequence 8 light prayer, who is not even a sun priest, went over to sue the "shepherd" elder?
He kept his tone as calm as possible.
"Calm down, panic won't help. Do you trust your chief?"
"I do."
Derrick said without hesitation.
After being asked this question before, he thought about it carefully and felt that the chief was great and wise, otherwise he would not have been able to lead everyone to live for such a long time.
"Then you should continue to believe that you have done everything you can do, and the most important thing you should do now is to improve yourself."
Roy said lightly.
Then, he looked at the others and smiled: "I think everyone is the same, the focus is still on promotion."
"Why?"
Xio couldn't help but ask.
This mysterious "hermit" seems to have a lot of secret knowledge and looks very impressive.
Roy sighed.
"As Mr. Fool said before, the wave of the times has arrived. I didn't understand it before, but I understand it in the past two days."
What do you understand?
Klein himself was stunned.
He just repeated the words of another "hermit". Although he had his own speculation, he did not make any explanation or extension.
"What do you understand?"
Audrey couldn't wait.
"Miss Justice, have you heard about the Aurora Society?"
Roy asked.
Audrey nodded: "I heard that they performed an evil ritual and killed many civilians in Backlund."
"That was a ritual descended from the gods."
Roy sneered.
"What?"
Everyone was shocked on the spot, including "The World" who had to pretend.
God descends!
Horrible events involving God.
"The Hanged Man" Alger understood instantly.
No wonder yesterday, the superiors temporarily issued an order to hunt down the Aurora Society, but such a terrible incident happened near the dock area.
"In addition, as far as I know, the Aurora Society has not killed so many people. The sacrifices they need are not the flesh and blood of living people, but the dark side of emotions."
Roy sneered in a low voice, "The East District, Bridge District and Dock District are just like What Mr. Fool said has become the best breeding ground for evil gods. They are what the true Creator needs to come."
"What about the dead people?"
Klein frowned.
This battle was so terrifying that Lanrevus directly became the carrier of divine descent, so that he did not dare to get close and could not kill it himself.
but.
He knew Roy might have experienced it firsthand.
Looking at it now...
it was indeed the case, but the secret inside seemed to be far beyond his imagination.
"I don't know. I hope it's just an exaggerated and false description from above, just to arouse people's anger and emotions."
Roy said indifferently.
Xio's brain was shaken crazily by all the information.
She couldn't imagine...
the so-called evil ritual was actually an evil god trying to descend on Backlund, and it was in the East District where she was often active.
No!
Lanerwus -
She almost met him face to face before, and even picked up a book from him.
Xiu couldn't help but break into a cold sweat when he thought of this.
Klein was silent on the sidelines. He felt that Roy had something to say, but he didn't know how to elicit the hidden part.
After all, he is "The World", not Klein.
Maybe...
we can consider a showdown?
Klein was a little confused.
"Mr. Hermit, what you said is too shocking. I, I can't bear it for a while, but I will find a way to investigate this matter."
"Justice" Audrey said.
Roy nodded: "Miss Justice, if you want to investigate, you must make your people careful."
"I understand, after all, the Aurora Society is involved."
Audrey nodded.
Everyone was so shocked by the "divine descent" incident that they stopped communicating. After a while, the Fool said, "Come here."
"Wait a minute, Mr. Fool, Mr. 'Hermit', I got part of the bounty. I should go directly." Sacrificing it to your beloved and Mr. Hermit, or in some other way?"
Audrey asked.
Roy smiled and said: "It's okay, Miss Justice, I believe in your character. Of course, Mr. Fool, I'm not making the decision for you..." "It doesn't
matter, it's just a small matter."
The Fool said with a smile.
Audrey's tone became more relaxed: "Then allow me to sacrifice ten thousand pounds to you, Mr. Hermit, and I will send out the remaining fifteen thousand pounds every once in a while. After all, I took out so much money at once... "
Don't worry, I'm not short of money for the time being, especially after the five thousand gold pounds you provided, the other materials can still be deducted." "
Okay, thank you."
Audrey nodded gratefully.
The Fool then disbanded the Tarot Club, leaving only the "Hermit" and the "World", which the rest of the world didn't know.
Roy was stunned for a moment, then pretended not to understand.
"Mr. Fool, Mr. World..."
"Roy, I am Klein Moretti."
"The World" said.
"Huh?"
Roy showed an extremely shocked emotion -
not because of his acting skills.
He was really shocked.
Klein actually showed off his cards!
Although it was just a showdown of the identity of the world, it also surprised him very much. He took a deep breath and said: "Wait a minute, I didn't react..." "
After I came to Backlund, I became Mr. Fool. A Blessed One also learned about the existence of such a meeting this time and took the initiative to apply to join."
Klein continued.
Roy's mood was complicated, but he gradually calmed down.
"What do you want to know?"
Confessing your identity must be to gain trust and obtain more information -
in a free and credible way.
after all.
Some words are not so familiar, even if you are in the Tarot Club, you will not say them.
Klein said: "I want to know the inside story of this incident, the death of Lanerwus and the death of civilians you highlighted."
"This is just a guess of mine. You should know that I have come into contact with many homeless people in the Southern District. Han?"
Roy sat across from "The World".
Klein controlled "The World" and nodded slightly.
"Many homeless people were killed, but many also disappeared. In addition, one of the gangs called the Werther Party once imprisoned many people from overseas. They were even guarded by extraordinary people."
Roy continued, "The wonderful thing is that this case After the incident was discovered, the gang soon had a fight and was eventually annexed."
"This..."
Klein understood what Roy meant.
He said in surprise: "You mean, there are people involved in human trafficking, and in this incident, they tried to hide the human beings in the name of evil rituals?" "
Who really cares about the person who died during the ritual ? How many people are there?"
Roy sighed. "When asked by the Orthodox Church, they can also say that the newspaper exaggerated, but civilians will not know this."
Klein thought of what he saw and heard in the East District and the Bridge District. , many doubtful points were connected in an instant.
Yes.
Human trafficking!
The Werthers were not the only such gangs.
His tone was deep: "They should be punished!"
"It's difficult, Klein. You should have noticed the influence of that pen, right? I haven't dared to approach you during this period."
(End of Chapter)Chapter 125 The mysterious queen protects me
Chapter 125 The Mysterious Queen Protects Me
Klein was stunned.
It turns out...
Roy has been avoiding him recently?
No wonder he went to the other party's house several times but never felt Roy's presence.
He thought it was a coincidence. It turned out that Roy thought there were traces of manipulation by the quill around him, so he didn't want to meet him.
Then, he controlled the marionette to make thinking movements.
really.
Recently, some people and things related to him seem to be not quite right.
Roy, Azik, Captain...
Roy lightly tapped the desk and said, "There are some things I dare to say only under the protection of Mr. Fool, otherwise it will be known. Klein, have you been exposed to the witch?"
"Witch?"
"Yes, Queen Mystery once reminded me that things related to witches seem to be getting weird in Backlund now,"
Roy answered.
Klein was stunned, recalling the witches he might have come into contact with.
A few seconds later, "The World" looked up: "I joined a club and received a commission inside. The commission was to investigate a common woman that a prince met." "
She may be a witch, and she is very important to the witch sect. , maybe you can ask the omnipotent Mr. Fool for help."
Roy said, looking upward and giving a slight salute to Mr. Fool.
Klein used a clown expression to forcefully control himself, preventing him from showing any changes in emotions or expressions.
Looking at Roy, who looked serious, calm and thoughtful, he didn't know what to say.
The other party may really feel that Mr. Fool can protect him, but the fact is that he, Mr. Fool, can hardly sustain his spiritual loss.
Klein still underestimated the sudden increase in spiritual burden.
Fortunately -
this meeting was not too long.
He sighed and said, "I'll figure it out myself. I can't rely on the great Mr. Fool for everything. This is also the meaning of joining the Tarot Club."
Klein stood up.
"Thank you Roy, you have helped me a lot during this time. I will always remember it, including this time Mr. Fool said he wanted to give me a sum of money..." "
Nothing, this is the money I sacrificed to Mr. Fool, how about it?" The disposal is Mr. Fool's freedom, it just happens to fall into your hands."
Roy replied with a smile, "Don't worry too much, five thousand gold pounds is a lot, but it is also very little. When it comes to Sequence 6 and Sequence 5, the materials will only become more and more expensive. It's getting more and more valuable, so you have to prepare in advance."
"Yes."
"Thank you, Mr. Fool."
Roy gave him a gift, meaning he could be sent back.
The Fool nodded gently.
The next moment, Roy opened his eyes and had returned to reality.
He sat at his desk for a long time.
After Klein created the identity of "The World" through the extraordinary characteristics of "Secret Puppet Master", his first choice was to have a showdown with himself.
Roy was a little surprised.
but.
This also proves that he has fully gained Klein's trust.
It's useless now.
but.
In the future, in the duel between myself and the "Hidden Sage", it may come in handy - at least compared to the crazy Hidden Sage, the self who knows the basics is more worthy of support.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly.
This Tarot session was very fruitful.
It broadens the channels for cashing out materials and scrolls, and can also earn some small labor fees -
even ten scrolls only earn less than ten gold pounds.
but.
A weekly salary of 10 pounds is already a very high salary, and it only took Roy two days to burn the full scroll.
"Sacrifice to Mr. Fool first."
"Well, I hope his spirituality can support him at the moment."
...
Above the gray mist, Klein struggled to hold on.
If he hadn't placed a spiritually strengthening ritual magic outside to enhance his mental power and spirituality, he would definitely not be able to sustain it now.
certainly.
Completely digesting "Joker" will also make him greatly improved.
Now he still has to wait for the sacrifices of Roy and Audrey.
After a while, an illusory voice sounded.
Then -
he took out 10 scrolls.
Is this a witchcraft scroll?
Roy's path is just like the wizard in the novel, first with witchcraft and now with scrolls, it's really amazing.
It's a pity that you will be indoctrinated by the Hidden Sage, otherwise this path is also very good.
but.
As a fool, I can help the other party when they can't support it.
Klein smiled and then divined the scroll.
One is the Water Wave Scroll, which can summon relatively powerful water waves and water balls. How to use it depends on your own spirituality and spell control.
The second type is an apotropaic scroll.
The third type of flame scroll.
According to divination, these scrolls indeed have the power of entering Sequence 7 as Roy said.
"I'm really excited, but it's a pity that even the initial scroll still costs a full 10 pounds, which is almost as much as more than a week's salary of mine."
Klein passed the scroll to Audrey enviously.
It didn't take long.
Audrey also sacrificed her own money.
Ten thousand and one hundred pounds.
Ten thousand was for him and Roy, and the extra hundred was the money for the scroll.
He withheld the five thousand gold pounds and transferred the rest to Roy. Looking at the dazzling array of five thousand gold pounds, Klein could not contain his excitement for a moment.
but.
Thinking of what Roy said, he collapsed instantly.
The higher you go, the more expensive the materials become.
Five thousand gold pounds is a huge amount of money for him at Sequence 8, but at Sequence 6 and Sequence 5, he may still not be able to afford the materials for an entire potion.
Still too poor.
Klein quickly returned to reality.
In reality, the materials used in ritual magic have been reduced to powder, and they have completely lost their effectiveness.
...
For the next week, Roy hardly left the house.
The same operation of writing scrolls, collecting materials, and writing scrolls was carried out over and over again, and his scrolls were quickly sold for cash.
One is the Tarot Club channel.
The other is the channel of the Mohan family caravan.
With the help of the two, his scroll proficiency is also improving rapidly, and the power of the current scroll is much higher than before.
Compared with witchcraft, the convenience of scrolls is that it consumes less when used, has quick effects, and does not need to carry various material powders.
Continuous research and study of the scrolls allowed Roy to initially digest part of the potion.
Although there is no substantial improvement, he no longer needs to deliberately restrain his spirituality, and he can no longer hear the layers of nonsense.
The indoctrination of the Hidden Sages continues.
but.
At the end of the week, there was only one useful
book - half of it to be precise.
"Partial Selection of Materials".
This book explains the use of corpse materials to realize some necromantic witchcraft and scroll configurations.
The hidden sage is tempting Roy to touch the corpse!
so.
Roy sealed it directly.
He ignored whatever the Hidden Sage asked him to do, but he accepted all the knowledge and witchcraft.
If there is material that happens to be obtained, he can use it to release it, but deliberately collect it?
Forget it then.
Ignore, don't help, don't refuse.
This is his voyeuristic motto!
For the next three or four days, Roy basically didn't go out and kept studying materials, ink configuration and scroll writing at home.
On Friday, the peaceful life was shattered.
Gary is here.
Roy poured a cup of tea and looked at Gary with a smile.
"You have changed a lot."
"This is thanks to your help. If it weren't for your magic potion, I might just be a mediocre lawyer now."
Gary smiled bitterly.
"It seems that your lawyer career has not been peaceful."
Roy said with a smile.
Gary nodded, and then began to complain and talk about his troubles.
"I am now an assistant. First, someone came to ask if I could get more compensation for work-related injuries and disabilities, but I searched through the information and found no such protection." "
Then I encountered a case where a family member died tragically. They wanted me to I can help, but this is the job of the police and there is nothing I can do." "
After that, I helped many people answer their legal questions, but I knew that I couldn't help them, and I felt like I couldn't do anything."
Gary said with a serious expression confused.
It's just that after working for less than a week, he seems to have accumulated a lot of emotions, which is a problem that lawyers will encounter sooner or later.
Roy was silent for a moment, then sighed softly.
"Gary, you are a conscientious nobleman, but this is Loen, this is the general trend, and you are destined to be unable to do anything."
In such a world of extraordinary people, even high-status angels and true gods have many things that are difficult to do. .
not to mention.
They are just sequence 6 and sequence 9.
Gary was confused: "Then Mr. Green, should we do nothing?"
"Of course not, but you are too weak. To change this situation, you need to become stronger."
Roy took a sip of tea and continued Added, "Not only in terms of extraordinary abilities, but also your own knowledge, literacy and abilities."
"Can you do this?"
Gary asked.
Roy shook his head: "I don't know, but I can definitely do more than what I am doing now."
Gary Zabia fell into deep thought, then nodded slightly: "I understand."
He thought for a long time, and then slapped his forehead.
"That's right! I'm not here to talk about this. Mr. Green, the person you were waiting for has appeared!"
"Oh?"
Roy suddenly became interested, "From the Morse Trappist Order?"
"I saw it once Dearin met with a middle-aged man who was about 30 or 40 years old. Although they made up a story, I found that they were lying."
Gary explained.
"What is his identity now?"
Roy was in no hurry to go.
Gary came out, which means that the other party must have left. Now, in the past, he would just miss everything and find nothing.
"He calls himself Arifer, a history professor at Backlund University, and he came to apply for the position of tutor."
Gary said.
Roy thought for a few seconds and said, "Where is your father? Didn't he say that he would send her to the Church of Storms before?"
"That's so, but the Church of Storms seems to be very busy recently. They just sent a priest over and took a quick look. He said there was no problem and left."
Gary raised the corner of his mouth slightly when he said this and said with a smile, "I think maybe the Church of Storms has encountered some trouble." The
True Creator is trying to come, and Old Pigeon Storm is of course anxious.
Roy cursed.
When it comes to the coming of the true Creator, which gods are more anxious, they must be the Eternal Sun, the Lord of Storms, and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom.
"By the way, this is the portrait I copied."
Gary took out a piece of paper.
The above is a simple drawing, which looks quite abstract. It is almost impossible to recognize the original face through the drawing.
but.
Roy glanced at it and noticed that the broken eyebrow on his forehead was very eye-catching.
It doesn't seem to be natural, more like being slashed.
"Is there a scar on his eyebrow?"
"Uh, it seems so."
Gary wasn't sure.
"I understand."
Backlund University...
This is really a good cover-up identity. As an Extraordinary of the secret-peeping path, not to mention other fields.
The language and history are definitely very good, including Roy himself -
this is due to the crazy indoctrination of the Hidden Sage.
"Gary."
"Sir, please tell me."
"Don't interfere too much in their affairs. If you can't stop it, something might happen."
Gary came over in a hurry, obviously hoping that Roy would take action immediately. But...
Dilin's character is there.
If there was no Arifer, there would be others. He dared to conclude that it was probably Dilin who took the initiative to contact the Morse Tradition Society.
"What about Irifu?"
"The Moss Dervish is my enemy, I will deal with him."
"Thank you."
Gary expressed his gratitude sincerely.
Although Roy was unwilling to help Dilin, this was not what the other party had to pay. On the contrary, it actually helped the Zabia family by helping him become an Extraordinary and deal with the Moss Ascetic Order.
"Nothing, he is my goal and my promise."
Roy held the portrait and looked at it carefully.
After Gary left, he quickly ascended to the Hall of Mysteries and began to divine with the information he had so far.
After a while, the divination failed.
It's not that the other party has strong anti-divination capabilities, but that the information they have is seriously insufficient and cannot be locked through divination.
The information Gary gathered was false.
"The fault on Arifer's eyebrow is real."
After seven consecutive times, the pendant quickly rotated clockwise.
correct!
"Entering Backlund University will be beneficial to my pursuit of the Moss Ascetic Order."
Roy continued to divine.
Seven times in a row.
The pendant turns clockwise again.
correct!
The clues to the Morse Trappist Order are at Backlund University.
This can also be reflected in the divination results.
Roy put away the pendant and took out pen and paper.
"Dear Queen of Mystery, I found out that there is a member of the Moss Ascetic Order in Backlund University. He wants an identity to enter Backlund University. I hope to get your help."
After a while, a fake identity appeared . on the table.
Loren Sola.
A scholar from Feneport, and with him a magical item.
Useless mask.
A mask made with the extraordinary characteristics of the Faceless Man. The difference is that the extraordinary items produced by the Faceless Man cannot be changed.
It is permanently fixed on one face.
This is also the origin of the name of this magical object.
Correspondingly, its negative effects are relatively low.
As long as you take it off within 12 hours, and then seal it with spiritual and pure water for more than 8 hours, the negative effects can be offset.
As long as you are not Sequence 4 or above, it is impossible to see the effect of the secret-peeping path.
In addition, Bernadette also noted -
"I have returned to Backlund. If the other party is a high-sequence Beyonder, you can read my honorable name."
"I will arrive as soon as possible."
"In addition, you By the way, help me meet Professor Portland and ask about the theft of the exhibition. I was not here two days ago."
...
The next day, at the gate of Backlund University.
A blond man got out of the car with a smile on his face. When he arrived at the school gate, he took off his hat.
"Hello, I am a scholar from Feneport. I have made an appointment to meet with Professor Portland."
Roy smiled lightly.
The security guard read the invitation and nodded: "Please come in."
Portland Momont.
The professor of Backlund's Department of Mechanical Engineering, the opportunity to meet him was exactly what Bernadette had given her to create a reasonable opportunity for her to enter Backlund University.
and.
Next to the Mechanical Department is the History Department.
Roy pretended to be lost and wandered around the history department building. After a while, he stopped at the entrance to the third floor.
There is a bulletin board here with portraits of teachers posted on it.
From professors, associate professors to teachers, everything was included. Finally, Roy's eyes stopped on a portrait in the lower position.
Eret Frey.
A teacher, his face has nothing to do with the one drawn by Gary, but the severed eyebrow is very eye-catching.
it's him!
Roy raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
At this time, footsteps came from behind.
He turned his head.
I saw an old man walking up and frowning slightly when he saw Roy.
"This is the office. Who are you looking for?"
"Sir, I'm looking for Mr. Portland Momont, but I seem to be in the wrong building."
Roy apologized.
The old man frowned: "The exterior wall of the History Department is cold black, thick and deep, just like history, while the Mechanical Department is more decorated with gears, steam and other features." "
So that's it, it's Backlund, Architecture It also opened my eyes."
Roy said with a smile.
"Looking at your accent, are you from Feneport?"
The old man is actually a professor here.
According to the information Roy saw just now, his name is Wainwright Fila, and Luen's professor status is very high, equivalent to the head of the department.
Roy nodded respectfully, and then showed a hint of surprise: "Does my Fenebaud accent have a strong accent?"
"No, you have almost no accent, but as a historical researcher, I am more sensitive than others in this regard."
Wen Wright said proudly.
Roy said in surprise: "Your wisdom is beyond my imagination. I have lived in Loen for more than ten years and thought I had no accent. Unfortunately, I have to go see Mr. Portland now..." "
Hahaha, if If you are really interested in history, you can come to me after visiting Portland. My office is at the end of this floor."
Wainwright also had a good impression of the handsome man in front of him.
"In that case, I'll come back later."
Roy looked overjoyed, then he saluted respectfully before heading downstairs.
Wainwright smiled and nodded.
When he got downstairs, Roy's lips raised slightly.
Just now, he slightly distorted the other party's "happiness", twisting the happiness from "getting recognition" and "being praised" into the happiness of "feeling like an old friend at first sight".
Facts have proved that the effect is not bad.
Afterwards, he recalled the information about Eret Frey, walked to the Mechanical Department, and immediately went to the bathroom.
In the bathroom, Roy tried fortune telling.
"Erit Frey is Erripher."
After seven consecutive times, the pendant rotates clockwise -
correct!
"It's a pity that I don't know the specific sequence of the other party, but I informed the Queen of Mystery in advance,
and she should be free." Although the other party did not tell me his new honorary name, there is a high probability that the Queen of Mystery has been promoted to Sequence 2.
