Coincidental?

The corners of Roy's mouth twitched.

He couldn't hear this now, and when he heard it, he felt that something was wrong.

Although that part of the memory was sealed, the heartfelt and instinctive jealousy still made him feel creepy all over his body.

"I've had a lot of coincidences in Tingen, can you help me see if there are any extraordinary factors in this coincidence?"

“……”

On the pea vine seat, Bernadette's eyes swept over.

Her gaze seemed to be beyond the present.

Fate and time converge in her eyes, and finally form a staggered node.

After more than ten seconds, her spirit was retracted and returned to normal.

Bernadette was silent for a moment, then said, "It seems to be." ”

"Like?"

It seems that even the peeping eye of the Master of Prophecy cannot see it.

Roy sighed in his heart.

Bernadette looked at the little boy, observed it carefully for a while, and said, "I didn't pay attention just now, but his fate has traces of being affected. ”

"It's probably similar to what happened to me in Tingen, where he was arranged."

Bernadette thought for a few seconds and said, "If you can't deal with it, the best thing to do is to stay away, and after you solve Lanerus, I have a commission for you, and then you can leave for a while." ”

"What commission?"

Roy asked immediately.

"Go to the sea, find the star general Gadelia, and tell her that the trajectory of her fate has changed."

"What do you mean?"

Roy was amazed.

Has the trajectory of fate changed?

Does Gardelia not enter the Tarot Society again?

Other than that......

"You see in me the fate of the star generals?"

Roy was curious, but Bernadette just smiled faintly.

"Sort of."

"Fate is not fixed, and I only see a corner of fate once in a while, and I can't explain why it's happening."

"You just bring the words to her, and don't worry about anything else."

The Emperor, now the daughter of the family is also a riddler.

Roy complained secretly in his heart.

Bernadette sat quietly on the chair formed by the pea vine and said, "The reward is the recipe for Sequence 6, and the price is that you need to pay a thousand pounds. ”

Only a thousand pounds?

The normal Sequence 6 potion recipe costs nearly two thousand pounds.

Sometimes it depends.

Roy was shocked, but on the surface he said speechlessly: "Madam, did you guess that I have so much money?" ”

"I've heard a few."

A smile tipped into Bernadette's mouth.

Roy took out the freshly hot thousand-gold list-

The money obtained from risking death to complete the commission was handed over at once.

Fortunately, there are also five hundred pounds for the sale of potion recipes.

Bernadette flicked her fingers.

Spiritually induced, and after a while, words appeared on the paper.

Roy took it, and his previous emotions vanished.

It reads—

Sequence 6, Professor Scroll.

Main material: 20g of the bark of the Philosopher's Tree, the brain of the deep-sea octopus.

Auxiliary materials: 80 ml of pure water, 5 drops of purple mandala juice, 10g of ink of deep-sea octopus, 5g of sage tree juice.

The recipe for a potion from Professor Scrolls.

Praise the Mystic Queen!

A smile crossed Roy's face.

"Isn't that available in the organization?"

"The auxiliary materials can be all-inclusive, for the sake of the previous news, the brain of the deep-sea octopus can be sold to you at a market price, and the bark of the Tree of the Philosopher can be collected by yourself."

After Bernadette replied, she went on to explain, "That's the best treatment." ”

Roy accepted the note.

"Do you need my help with the matter of Lan'erys?"

"Not yet."

Bernadette's eyes looked ahead, as if staring into the empty night sky.

Spiritual power is wrapped around the body.

After a few seconds, she said, "I'll let Hyde take that boy, and you should be careful lately, if there is a similar coincidence, you can just pronounce my honorific name." ”

As she spoke, she said her honorific name—

"The Holy Spirit chases knowledge, the beacon of the mystical world......"

"Okay."

Roy nodded heavily, not asking why-

His instinct told him that he couldn't get into it.

Bernadette smiled and said, "Goodbye." ”

In the next moment, the dark forest and pea vines in front of him all disappeared, and the little boy was unconscious, and the influence of the hidden sage on him had been removed.

But.

What happened to him still made Roy feel creepy.

In a short period of time, he didn't dare to enter the mysterious hall by the other party's side.

After tying each other up, the little boy sat quietly in the living room.

He didn't struggle, just looked at Roy with a terrifyingly quiet gaze.

"What's your name?"

"Kano Padla."

The little boy said calmly.

Roy frowned.

Kano seems to have lost his emotions, has no mood swings about anything, and acts very rationally.

When the influence of the hidden sage was still there, he even had the ability to "foresee".

He couldn't help but ask curiously.

"What happened to you before?"

"I was sad that my parents died, and then I prayed to a great being, and He answered me."

He replied indifferently.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you when you're tied up by me?"

"You're not going to kill me."

The little boy replied quietly.

The spirituality in Roy's eyes retreated, and the blessing of the voyeuristic eye diminished.

His heart was heavy.

This little boy ......

Bernadette did remove the influence of the Hidden Sage from the other party, but some of the effects have already been done and are irreversible.

And that's—

His emotions were the same as those of the Hidden Sage, and he had a terrifying calmness, and nothing could shake his emotions.

Kano's human emotions were destroyed.

If all things were divinity, he would now only have the "divinity" part.

Is this the salvation He performs?

Roy was silent for a moment.

He clenched his fists, then slowly relaxed, no longer thinking about Kano, and instead thinking carefully about the "coincidence".

This thing......

It can be seen as a warning to oneself.

He couldn't get any closer to the "population" thing, or the next time he would come over would not be a little boy, but a pillar of the Morse Ascetic.

He warned Himself not to come any closer to the truth.

But.

Even if there is no "coincidence", the harm caused by the hidden sage to the little boy is real, not to mention, the madness caused by the other party is not limited to this one.

In his lifetime, he must deal with the Hidden Sage and put an end to the terrible madness He has brought to this path.

Early the next morning.

Roy woke up early and worked out in his own gym.

After a while.

"Ding Dong!"

The doorbell rings at the bottom.

Roy looked down.

Hyde is here.

He went down to open the door, and Hyde took off his hat.

"We have only been meeting for a short time, but I didn't expect the queen to give me an order to pick up a little boy."

"Follow me."

Roy walked upstairs and said as he went, "His name is Kano Padla, and it needs to be noted that he doesn't have normal human emotions. ”

"No normal human emotions?"

Hyde frowned.

Roy nodded lightly: "Yes, his emotions, I feel erased by the Hidden Sage." ”

"Wait!"

Hyde paused, stunned, "What did you say?" The influence of the Hidden Sage? ”

Roy looked back curiously.

"yes, didn't the mysterious queen tell you?"

"No, he just asked me to pick it up and take it for a while."

Hyde opened his mouth, and finally fell silent.

Related to the Hidden Sage......

In a place like Beckland, it was a bit challenging for him to carry a child who had been influenced by the Hidden Sage.

Roy coughed lightly, embarrassed to explain.

"Actually, it's okay, the part about him about the hidden sage has been eliminated by the queen."

"I hope so."

Hyde was expressionless.

Walking upstairs, he saw the boy who was tied up.

Seeing the scars on the other party's body, as well as the ruthless and godless pupils, he instantly softened his heart and sighed.

"The Hidden Sage is truly an out-and-out evil god!"

"yes."

Roy replied briefly.

But.

Kano looked up and looked at them with his calm eyes.

"He is great, He does not make me feel sorrow, pain......"

At this moment, Hyde clenched his cane.

He let out a sigh.

"Come with me, I'll take care of you for the next few minutes, and when our ship arrives, I'll take you to another place."

"That's what the mysterious queen means."

Hyde said to the boy.

Kano nodded.

He is very well-behaved, never knows fear, and can easily make the most rational judgment.

Roy watched the two leave.

In his heart, there was one more reason why he had to be promoted to the "hermit".

Maybe.

This is one of the "missions" that I have crossed.

Of course.

Or maybe it's none at all.

In such a world, it takes a lot of power just to be alive.

After they left, after a full half an hour, Roy entered the mysterious temple.

Memories flood in.

"Adam's warning?"

"Or is it the current 008, who got it again, and replaced Ince's position?"

He sat in his chair and thought for a long time.

In any case, it is certainly beneficial for oneself to stay away from these sensitive places of the "population" for the time being.

Roy felt powerless again.

The good thing is that -

Obtained the Sequence 6 potion recipe for himself.

Both main materials are hard to come by in Beckland, but through the Tarot Society and Elder Lovia, there may be a way to get them quickly.

But for now, his focus is still on digesting the "wizard".

Subsequently, he took out the extraordinary properties.

Savage extraordinary traits.

Counting the extraordinary characteristics of the barbarian and lawyer that were split before, he already has a lot of extraordinary characteristics in reserve.

It's a pity that in the Steam Church, he can't access the knowledge of craftsmen, otherwise Roy would have tried to make extraordinary items through the Temple of Mystery.

Then, Roy looked at the ring.

The ring had been ripped off Arnol's body and was suspected of having the ability to twist, at least at the time when Arnoel seemed to be using it to reverse the effect of his spell.

But.

Arnoel didn't know that Roy's spell was indiscriminately attacked, and he was not afraid to rely on the mysterious temple and the "resistance" accumulated for a long time.

After some identification, he probably understood the power of the ring.

It's really related to the Corrupt Baron, but it's not a combination of extraordinary traits, but rather a sequence of contamination created by the mysterious death of a Corrupt Baron.

So.

It doesn't have extraordinary characteristics from it, and it only has the ability to "twist", and the negative effects are also very large-

After using the Twisted Ring, the user's heart will gradually become polluted and distorted, until finally it will become extremely greedy, dark, and completely lose their minds.

Taking off the ring for a day can eliminate the negative effects.

"A very useful ring."

"No wonder the leader of the Werther Party dared to let Arnoel guard the cellar alone."

A look of joy crossed Roy's face.

With it, this trip is not a loss.

After that, he took out the extraordinary characteristics of the barbarian.

Roy had an idea.

Previously, he had developed the "Madness Technique".

Use the Wild Grass as a casting medium to achieve extraordinary abilities similar to those of the Barbarians.

Madness grass is too expensive.

As the main ingredient of Sequence 8, the price of a mad grass is at least three hundred pounds, or even more.

Take the main material of Sequence 8 to cast a spell of pure ruined behavior, even if the main material belongs to the part of the extraordinary sequence that is difficult to damage, but the mad grass itself can.

In the unlikely event of a strange situation such as the transfer of some of the extraordinary characteristics of the Wild Grass......

It can easily lead to unpredictable consequences.

So, he had an idea -

Extraordinary properties are more stable and difficult to break than extraordinary materials, which is why extraordinary items will most of the time choose extraordinary properties as materials.

Is it possible to use extraordinary properties as a spellcasting material for witchcraft?

If it were possible, I wouldn't have to go all over the streets to find materials, let alone spend so many gold pounds.

After deriving and divining several times, Roy came to the conclusion -

You can try!

……

Returning to reality from magic, Roy took out the extraordinary characteristics of a barbarian and began to try to cast spells.

Concentrate spirituality.

Sketch witchcraft symbols.

Step 3 –

Roy wielded the extraordinary nature of the Barbarian, and recited a spell in the ancient Hermetic language to reinforce the witchcraft symbol: "Madness!" ”

Goal: Yourself.

In an instant, he felt a wave of frantic emotion in his mind.

Subsequently.

A punch was punched, and the wind was howling.

Both the strength and the speed are much stronger than before.

Berserk works!

A smile tugged at the corner of Roy's mouth, and the next moment, he felt the subtle signs of digestion.

"Studying witchcraft also speeds up digestion."

"Wizard ......"

As he pondered, suddenly the space distorted, and a figure appeared in front of him.

Roy was taken aback.

"Why did you come here without a word?"

"Faith."

Nina spat out a letter.

"Who's?"

"Joker's."

Nina said.

Oh, Klein.

Roy opened the envelope, and it was indeed in Crane's handwriting, and he wrote down the recent events in the letter.

"Dunn woke up, but fell into madness, and needed to digest and relieve the madness step by step."

Not an accident.

He continued to look down.

"I've arrived in Beckland and am currently renting on Minks Street."

"Mr. Azik will be two or three days away."

Klein, what are you reminding?

Roy smiled silently, then put away the letter, and then saw Nina's eyes blazing at him, and then remembered his previous promise.

He had no choice but to conceive and prepare to tell the other party a story.

……

For the next two days, Roy didn't go out.

He decided to settle down for a while.

Then, he did not encounter any special "coincidences".

As long as he doesn't touch special events, Roy's life will return to its normal trajectory.

It also made him certain of one thing.

008 definitely fell into the hands of someone else, and the other party is likely to be a member of the Witch Sect-

If this warning was made by "Adam", then the other party would have done it more quietly, and it would not be so coincidental and alarming.

Of course.

It may also be that Adam has no interest in himself, so he warns himself and keeps himself away from it.

This made him breathe a sigh of relief.

If it was really Adam's gaze, he would not wait for Laneus, and let Bernadette help him carry the bucket and run away tomorrow.

"Let's provide more information after that, just let Klein do this kind of thing."

The other party has the protection of the goddess.

Minefield jumping won't kill either.

It's different on your own.

Roy divined the time, and the current situation of Furth, ready to catch people at any time-

Today is the night of the full moon.

……

Night falls, and the moon quietly rises.

In an apartment in Jowood, Furth lies in bed, quietly waiting for the time to come.

A few minutes later, she heard the terrible murmur again.

Tonight –

Not just babbling, but terrible roaring.

Her nails were embedded in the flesh, her hair began to grow disorderly, frantically, and a little budding appeared on her face.

Furth couldn't help it.

She prayed bitterly—

"An eye for the future."

"The Ruler of the Temple of Mystery......"

Read the second sentence.

A flood of information enveloped her.

Immediately, she appeared in the mysterious temple.

Firth opened his eyes tiredly, and then said bitterly, "Thank you for your protection, great hermit. ”

"That's my promise."

Roy chuckled.

Furth lowered her head, she had tried to resist on her own, but she found it difficult to fight against the full moon's whispers with her own abilities.

She sat down, thinking back to some of her memories.

Subsequently—

A page of the diary emerges.

At the same time, there is also a page with some intelligence information written on it.

She offered it respectfully.

"Mr. Hermit, the first is a diary, and the second is the information I gathered at the meeting about the Morse Ascetics."

Roy took the two pieces of paper.

Then, he frowned slightly.

This page of the diary is full of daily trivialities, and at first it looks like Russell's content, with various experiences written on it.

During this time, he also wrote that he was sick.

"On July 17th, I was much better."

"On August 13th, I will set off again and continue my journey!"

Doesn't look like a problem.

But.

I don't know why, he always felt a little weird, and after looking at it two or three times, Roy put it aside for the time being.

"Maybe Bernadette knows something, and according to her recollections, I can compare and corroborate to learn more, but unfortunately I can't ask her directly."

"It makes me look more suspicious."

Then, Roy couldn't help but think about the situation that day.

Bernadette said—

The trajectory of Gardelia's fortunes has changed.

As a master prophet, she may have sensed something, including alerting herself to the frequency of "coincidences."

Although Bernadette had asked Heide to come to Tingen to find him before, which in itself shows a certain problem, it is better not to be too direct before a complete showdown.

Then he looked at the second page.

On this piece of paper, it is written that Foirth saw a more suspicious person, and after some verification it was confirmed that he was a member of the "Morse Ascetic".

"Some way" is to trade with Hyde, right?

But.

The fact that she was able to gather this information was already a sign of her hard work.

Roy was relieved.

Folth also marked the other party's previous activity trajectory on it.

Dock?

What are the Morse Ascetics doing over there?

He put down the paper.

"Mr. Hermit, I originally wanted to investigate deeply, but the East End has been a bit chaotic recently, and I don't dare to go to ......"

Furth was a little apprehensive.

Roy chuckled, "There's no hurry. ”

"Thank you for your magnanimity and kindness."

"Let's get here."

"Yes."
