Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 336 Obtaining the "Hermit" Card
After negotiating the fee, Klein, who played German Sparrow, said, "Take me to that pharmacy."

Darkwill quickly called a carriage, and the two of them got in and headed to the pharmacy.

In the carriage, the "fat pharmacist" said, "I won't go into the pharmacy for a while. I've been in there several times recently. If I go in again, I'll be suspected."

Klein hummed. It was indeed inconvenient to have this guy around.

The rental carriage soon arrived at the Miraculous Pharmacy. Before he even got off, Klein saw a long line in front of the pharmacy.

Many patients were carried in, while others were helped down by their families.

After getting off the carriage, Klein was wondering whether he should pretend to be a patient and sneak in to get information?

At this time, the waiter came out and shouted, "There are only 30 doses left of the special medicine for treating malaria. Give them to the seriously ill patients first!
"Those patients who were carried in, please come forward, as well as the two who are severely dehydrated. The others can go back first, or have their families stay here and continue to queue."

Many people are disappointed, but some malaria patients will die within a day after onset, while others can last for a week or two.

Those who are lying down are basically in acute or very serious condition. Those who can still stand will generally not die within two or three days.

Because the daily supply of medicines is limited, this scene always occurs in the afternoon and everyone is used to it.

Family members continued to queue up for the patients, while the patients left with the help of other family members or insisted on leaving on their own.

Klein seized the opportunity, pretending to be a patient's family member, and followed a patient lying on a stretcher into the room.

As a Beyonder, Klein wasn't afraid of being infected by the patients.

When we entered the pharmacy, there were two beds on the right and a medicine cabinet on the left with some medicines on it.

These medicines are placed in exquisite glass bottles. Each glass bottle is not big and can usually be drunk in three or four sips.

After several patients lying on stretchers and several critically ill patients came in, a doctor in a white coat and a mask first confirmed their condition.

After confirming that the other person's illness was malaria, he asked the nurse to write a prescription and get medicine.

The first dose of medicine must be drunk on the spot, and then two doses must be taken away. The nurse also informs the patient and family that only after drinking three doses can the patient be cured, otherwise the first dose will be in vain.

After watching for more than ten minutes, Klein confirmed that the doctors, nurses, and waiters here were indeed ordinary people.

Judging from the patients' performance after drinking the medicine, there is nothing wrong with these medicines. They can indeed cure diseases and the effects are significant. They must have come from the hands of a "pharmacist".

Klein glanced at the inner door. According to what Darkwill had learned from the landlord, it was the door leading to the basement.

He noticed it was an ordinary wooden door, but it was locked.

Klein quietly transformed a nearby mouse into a "secret puppet" and then rushed into the pharmacy. Amid the waiter's urging and the nurse's screams, the mouse quickly crawled to the wooden door.

Then the mouse pushed hard, and actually bent a corner of the wooden door, creating a gap.

This was actually far beyond the strength of a mouse, but Klein used an illusion to make everyone around ignore the scene of the mouse pushing the door open a crack.

The rat was then beaten to death by the waiter and thrown outside, and the farce caused by the rat was quickly settled.

There were many rats in Bayam, and the rat's intrusion just now did not attract much attention.

However, through the gap opened by the rat just now, Klein had already seen clearly that there were only some transfer boxes that were probably used to store potions in the basement, and nothing else.

He planned to wait until night time to confirm whether there was any secret room.

The treatment for several critically ill patients had basically concluded. Klein was about to follow the patients out when an exquisite carriage stopped outside. The door opened, and a very elegant woman stepped out.

Behind her was a bodyguard and an assistant. The three of them put on masks and walked around the patients to enter.

Klein knew this elegant woman; she was none other than Ms. Mandy, the manager of the Nanmu Ballroom.

I've seen him a few times before in Backlund.

Mandy looked at Klein and suddenly asked, "Are you sick too?"

Klein immediately realized that the other party recognized him. Of course, he didn't recognize him as Detective Sherlock, but as the great adventurer German Sparrow.

Klein once again admired the dance hall manager's shrewdness and competence. It was difficult for ordinary people to recognize the famous adventurer in the Rorsted Archipelago at a glance.

He said in a tone without much emotion: "I came here to accompany someone else."

Mandy said "hmm" and did not continue asking questions. Instead, she turned around and asked the doctor, who now had some free time, how the new drug was selling.
Klein had just learned from Darkwill that this pharmacy had recently started selling potions for treating cholera and leprosy.

These are two diseases that are very common in the colonies, but also very troublesome and highly contagious.

Klein deliberately walked slower. He listened to the doctor's report on the situation over the past few days. He knew that many cholera and leprosy patients had come to buy medicine. He believed that in a few days, the 200 doses of medicine per day would be sold out quickly.

Then Mandy said that they were planning to open a branch in Bayam, and if doctors had friends or classmates looking for jobs, they could come here for interviews.

In this era, being a doctor is considered a very respectable job.

However, not every doctor is so famous. Most doctors can only work in clinics or hospitals. Sometimes, if the clinics and hospitals are in recession, they have to lay off employees.

After listening for a while, Klein was certain that Mandy was the manager of this pharmacy.

Then the boss behind this pharmacy must be Mr. Gal, now known as the "Admiral of Mystery".

Then Klein realized that the reason the official Beyonders didn't investigate this pharmacy was because Admiral Arcana had close cooperation with the Navy and the Church of the Evernight Goddess.

Back in the rented carriage, Darkwill immediately asked, "What happened?"

"We found an important clue," Klein said.

He didn't tell the result directly, intending to pretend to investigate again, otherwise it would seem that the 500 pounds were earned too easily.

Darkwell sighed: It turns out that professional matters should be left to professionals.

Then he asked, "Do the pharmacists make their potions in the basement?"

"No." Klein was now certain that there was no secret room in that basement. He even speculated that it was possible that the "Admiral of Mystery" had been sent directly to the basement using "Travel."

Afterwards, Klein found out how to contact the "Fat Pharmacist," got off the bus midway, and went into a bar, pretending to continue his investigation.

In fact, he just ordered a beer and started drinking.

Then he went to the bathroom of the bar and entered "above the gray fog". Using the power of the gray fog, he forged a picture of the "world" praying, reminding the "hermit" that someone was investigating the magic pharmacy.

Soon the "Hermit" responded, thanking the "World" for the reminder and telling the "World" that he had made preparations and that the people currently investigating would not be able to find any clues.

At this point, Klein was completely certain that Mr. Gall was the boss behind the pharmacy.

Returning to the bar to continue drinking, Klein realized that Mr. Gall was unlikely to do charity, or to engage in business that would lose money.

At this moment, a picture appeared in his mind: a group of "pharmacists" were locked in a small dark room, and had to complete their tasks on time every day and "produce" enough medicine.

It seems that only in this way can the cost be controlled within 15 soli... No, in this way, 15 soli can still make a lot of money.

……

In the studio of "Argo".

Odysseus was somewhat stunned when he heard Klein's reminder. He didn't expect that Klein already knew that he was the behind-the-scenes boss of the Magic Pharmacy.

However, he didn't take it too seriously. Every day, the medicine was first delivered to the manor using the "teleportation array", then sent to Bayam by train, and then moved to a small warehouse.

There is a "short-range teleportation array" in the warehouse. Let your reliable subordinates use that array to move the potion to the basement of the pharmacy.

Judging from the current sales volume of drug stores, although it has attracted the attention of some organizations, it has not yet attracted their attention.

After dinner, Odysseus read for a while, then lay down on the bed and fell asleep to the gentle rocking of the waves.

Suddenly, Odysseus became alert. He immediately opened his eyes and looked towards the studio.

At the same time, he found that the scene outside the window seemed somewhat unreal.

Then Odysseus realized that he must be in a dream.

He stood up and walked quickly to the door, opened it, and saw Kent, an old man with white hair and sharp eyes, sitting at the workbench, picking up a pair of pliers that Odysseus had slightly modified and examining them carefully.

"It's so hard to find you." Before Odysseus could say anything, Kent said, "Fortunately, the Argo is relatively easy to find."

Just like Odysseus's messenger, since he couldn't find Odysseus, he had to mark Odysseus's ship.

Odysseus sat on a chair nearby and said, "You are quite trustworthy."

Because it was also difficult for Odysseus to find Kent, a member of the "Twilight Hermit Order".

"You did a great job," Kent said. "The official Beyonder investigations basically point to the Aurora Society."

As he spoke, he took out a small card and handed it to Odysseus: "This is the second reward we agreed on earlier."

Odysseus took the "Blasphemy Card" and took a look at the image of Roselle wearing a hood, holding a lantern in one hand and a wooden staff in the other.

He seemed like a guide in the fog, leading confused people out of the fog.

As soon as he held it in his hand, Odysseus could confirm that this was the "Hermit Card".

But he didn't look closely, instead looking at Kent: "Do you know the dangers on the island with the 'psychedelic red coral'?"

"I don't know the specific dangers." Kent spread his hands. "Each island in the 'Ruins of the Gods' has its own dangers."

Odysseus looked at the other person and said nothing more.

I just secretly made up my mind that if I had the chance, I would trick this old man.

Kent, of course, saw what was going on in Odysseus' mind. He smiled and said, "There's no need for you to hold a grudge against me for this. We were only trading leads to the 'Psychedelic Red Coral' back then, not handing this extraordinary material directly into your hands."

Odysseus smiled and said, "You think too much. I don't bear any grudge against you."

Kent chuckled and didn't continue the topic: "Are you interested in joining the 'Twilight Hermits'? I can be your introducer."

Odysseus was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the other party to make such an invitation.

He then considered it carefully before shaking his head and saying, "Forget it. I already have the background of the Orthodox Church, so I won't join another secret organization to avoid embarrassment later."

Kent really wanted to ask him: Isn't "Elemental Dawn" a secret organization? Can you please be more careful when you find your excuse?

However, since Odysseus expressed his unwillingness to join, Kent did not force him. He simply said to him, "If we have other tasks in the future, we may send you a commission."

"As long as the remuneration is appropriate and it does not violate my principles," Odysseus said readily.

Kent nodded and stood up to say goodbye.

The moment the old man left, the scene in front of him shattered instantly, and Odysseus sat up suddenly. He was still on the bed, but he had an extra card in his hand.

Odysseus immediately turned on the light and sat at the desk to study carefully.

This "Hermit Card" has already been opened. Odysseus injected spirituality into it, and then it became taller and could be opened like a book.

Odysseus quickly turned to the last page. Besides the image of the "Hermit" in Russell's image, there were some words:
"Sequence 0: The Hermit

Main material: The uniqueness of the "Hermit" path, two copies of Sequence 1 characteristics in addition to itself.

Supplementary materials: Nine books by the promoted person, preferably from different periods.

Ritual: Spread the light of knowledge to the world, then hide it in the form of knowledge for a period of time, until most people have forgotten the Ascended, but they can still benefit from the knowledge they once spread. The more people the Ascended's knowledge helps, and the more people forget the Ascended, the greater the effect.

Odysseus was stunned for a moment: The "Hidden Sage" was chasing after the Extraordinary people of the same path to impart knowledge. Could it be because they were preparing for the promotion ceremony?
This guy has completely got the wrong direction.

Odysseus shook his head. It was "spreading the glory of knowledge", not directly instilling knowledge!

And it is to use knowledge to help others, not to kill people!
The previous "sages" did a great job in this regard and really spread knowledge to the public.

Then Odysseus looked at the "Supplementary Materials" item: "Originally, I didn't plan to write a book after being promoted to Sequence 5, but now it seems that I have to write another one."

And in the future, each series will have to have a book written to meet the requirement of "works from different periods".

At this time, he had already written four books, namely "Common Knowledge of Herbs and Occultism", "Combat Outline", "Complete Collection of Witchcraft", and "Scroll: From Beginner to Mastery".

He wrote "Common Knowledge of Herbs and Occult Studies" before he met Bernadette, and he wrote one every time he was promoted.

Because the previous few sequences all had a research-based nature, when writing the works, I was both digesting the potion and acting.

But when it comes to "The Astrologer", there is no need to do so much research, so Odysseus has no plans to write.

It seems that it is not enough now, I have to write a book.

Let me think about what to write specifically.

At the same time, he felt a little relieved. Fortunately, he had written works at different times before, and at this critical moment, he got the "Hermit Card", which made him mentally prepared for not planning to write a book, and decided to write a book for each subsequent sequence.

Then he flipped forward and came to the page with Russell dressed as a scholar. The content on this page was:

"Sequence 4: Mystic

Main materials: core crystal of psychedelic red coral, head crystal of flower bird phantom cryptic cockroach
Auxiliary materials: 15 grams of psychedelic red coral powder, a pair of wings of the flower bird phantom cockroach, 12 ml of thousand-year-old pine resin, a golden grape, and a small piece of fine parchment.

Ritual: Completely deconstruct a drop of blood from a mythical creature, gaining complex and vast knowledge."

Odysseus smiled slightly. The next step was to find the Flowerbird Phantom Cryptid and find a way to obtain a drop of blood from the mythical creature.

Taking a deep breath, Odysseus placed the "Hermit Card" into the "Wilderness of Knowledge", then lay on the bed as if nothing had happened, as if he had fallen asleep again.

In fact, it is through "meditation" that one enters the "wilderness of knowledge".

As soon as he entered the tall tower made up of light balls, Odysseus saw that the "Hermit Card" was floating in the air, and the surrounding light balls seemed to have been shaken by something and were trembling slightly.

Odysseus reached out and grasped the Hermit card, which immediately turned into a lamp and formed an illusory hooded coat, which was put on Odysseus.

Odysseus was lost in thought, and returned to the real world, taking the "Staff of Guth" into the "Wilderness of Knowledge" again.

Picking up the "Hermit" card again, the hooded light reappeared, and Odysseus took the "Staff of Gus" in his other hand, which suddenly grew longer and became the wooden staff in the hand of the "Hermit".

For a moment, the power of the "Wilderness of Knowledge" gathered on Odysseus's spirit like a whirlpool, and he immediately felt that he had become very powerful, more powerful than ever before.

Then he realized that with the blessing of the "Hermit Card" and the "Staff of Gus", he could now use the ability of "Reappearance" in advance.

However, this ability is limited to the "Wild Land of Knowledge," where it can be performed using the "Staff of Guth" while in the form of a "Hermit." Returning to the real world, nothing changes.

Another limitation is that if you want to use "reproduction", you need the help of certain materials.

This is a bit like using "witchcraft" at the "wizard" level. You must have the help of certain materials to perform "witchcraft".

And using the "reproduction" materials, demigods start!
Odysseus glanced at the shelf over there and saw his reserves of demigod-level materials.

If these materials were only used to make scrolls, they would be quite abundant, but now they have to be used for "reproduction", so these materials are a bit insufficient.

Odysseus sighed and said that the ability of "reappearance" should be used with restraint.

Releasing the "Hermit Card" and the "Staff of Guth", Odysseus returned to his previous state.

He realized that the "Hermit Card" would definitely bring him some convenience, but he didn't expect it would make him much stronger.

This is equivalent to Odysseus suddenly having higher authority and being able to call upon more power from the "Wilderness of Knowledge".

Unfortunately, Odysseus himself does not yet have divinity at this time. I believe that after becoming a demigod, the power of the large "Hermit" will become even stronger.

After being happy for a while, Odysseus remembered another purpose of entering the "Wilderness of Knowledge": to monitor Rosalind Reye, one of the "Ten Pillars" of the "Moss Ascetic Order".

Odysseus had previously planned to obtain a drop of mythical creature's blood from Rosalind. Although she was not an angel, she should be able to get the blood of an angel.

Although Odysseus had saved Rosalind once, this matter still required a suitable opportunity. Odysseus referred to Klein's use of the large and small trumpets and came up with a general idea: the follower of the "Hermit" needed a drop of blood from a mythical creature.

But there is a paradox here. It is obvious that "the existence holding the lantern" is a high-sequence existence suspected to be on the "Hermit" path. Why does such a need require it to be obtained from the "Moss Ascetic Order"?
Therefore, we must pay attention to the methods and approaches. First of all, this matter cannot be said by the "hermit", but by the trumpet.

Secondly, you need to make it clear that you don’t really need it, but it seems like you don’t have anything else to offer, so I have to take it reluctantly.

At that time, we must also pay attention to the details. In short, the big and small trumpets need to cooperate to perform a zero-error play.

This required constant observation of Rosalind for opportunities.

If you can't find an opportunity, then wait for a "snake of fate" to be born soon. This is a backup option.

Recently, Odysseus has been taking time to observe Rosalind every day, and today is no exception. He saw Rosalind sitting in meditation through the "Staff of Gus".

Ever since Odysseus saved her last time, Rosalind no longer carried the staff with her. Instead, she made a wooden stand and placed the staff on the table.

At this time, Odysseus's perspective was right in front of Rosalind. Then Odysseus looked around and saw a piece of torn cotton cloth on Rosalind's simple desk.

This was something Rosalind had obtained a few days ago. There was an incomplete magic circle on the cotton cloth. Rosalind had respectfully asked the "Staff of Gus" for advice before.

To be precise, ever since she was saved by "Staff of Gus", she often asked "Staff of Gus" some questions or expressed her gratitude.

Odysseus did some research a few days ago and found out that this was a magic circle left over from the Fourth Epoch, whose main function was to seal "chaos".

This should be a magic circle invented by an extraordinary person from the "Arbitrator" path. To be precise, this magic circle can restore order to a certain area.

This kind of magic circle is widely used. For example, if a companion shows signs of losing control, you can use this magic circle to delay time. After all, losing control is also a kind of "chaos."

For example, when encountering extraordinary events or any situation that changes the original order, this magic circle can be used to solve the problem to a certain extent.

This is a magic circle with a wide range of applications. Odysseus has taken the time to complete the incomplete magic circle and conduct further research.

If an "Arbitrator" sequence 8 level "Sheriff" extraordinary characteristic is used in the magic circle, the level and function of the magic circle will be greatly enhanced.

Odysseus has been planning for the past two days to use this magic circle as a breakthrough point to establish a more stable connection with Rosalind.

But this also requires an opportunity.

At this point, Odysseus could understand Klein's bitterness. He didn't have the level of a god, but pretended to be an evil god, so he needed to be cautious.

"The world is becoming increasingly darker, and cities are gradually becoming hotbeds for evil gods to descend. If people in the countryside aren't careful, they'll lose everything. How can we view such changes with a peaceful mind? Is there still meaning in practicing asceticism?" Rosalind suddenly asked the "Staff of Gus" in front of her.

Odysseus was stunned for a moment, then he realized that Rosalind did not notice that he was looking at this place, but just suddenly had an epiphany and raised her question.

Based on what he has learned in recent times, Odysseus has discovered an ideological misunderstanding among the "Ascetic faction" of the current "Moss Ascetic Order".

They believe that by using asceticism to restrain their desires, control their emotions, and concentrate on research and thinking, they can effectively fight against loss of control and chaos.

It has to be said that this does have the effect of preventing loss of control, but it also makes them seriously out of touch with the world, and they currently have a tendency to get stuck in a rut, hoping to solve all the problems they encounter through hard thinking and research.

As a result, the ideological misunderstandings of the "ascetic school" became increasingly obvious, especially when they discovered that they were unable to solve the problems encountered in the real world, they developed a huge sense of separation in their minds.

One of the questions Rosalind is currently pondering is how to resolve this huge sense of separation.

To be precise, anyone with normal thinking would not ignore the changes taking place in the modern world, but an "ascetic" like Rosalind would be very curious about why such changes are happening.

However, factions like the one that wanted to pollute Rosalind saw an opportunity to use the desires and sufferings of ordinary people to achieve their own goals.

Thinking of this, just as Odysseus was about to continue looking at the magic circle over there, he suddenly realized that this was an opportunity.

Being able to "solve" Rosalind's doubts is the most natural way to establish a stable connection.

After a moment's thought, Odysseus came up with an answer, for he happened to know the way to answer Rosalind's question.

So Odysseus quickly took the "Hermit Card" and "Staff of Gus" in his hands again and put his power into Rosalind's "Staff of Gus".

……

Rosalind felt that if she couldn't solve the problem she was facing, her condition might be affected.

At this moment, the "Staff of Gus" in front of him suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

Rosalind once again saw in the light emitted by the "Staff of Gus" a tall figure wearing a smock, holding a lantern in his right hand and a staff in his right hand.

That is the light in the darkness, the "hermit" who uses knowledge as a beacon to point the way for the confused!
Moreover, Rosalind noticed that the figure of this great being was more majestic and more sacred than last time. She had already determined in her heart that this must be a god!
But considering the existence of the "Hidden Sage", the state of this god may be somewhat special.

The tremendous mental pressure made Rosalind lower her head and dared not observe the god directly.

At this time, only that majestic being could be heard saying in a magnificent voice: "Austerity is not just about thinking, it is also important to participate in human society.

"We cannot forcibly separate knowledge and action. Knowledge must be put into practice, and practical experience can gain more knowledge."

Odysseus had noticed before that Rosalind and others had a misconception in their thinking. They only cared about thinking but did not put it into practice.

This will cause their ascetic practice to gradually become empty. Although their thoughts have risen to a very high level, their thoughts and ideas cannot solve practical problems.

The solution to the problem is also simple: combine theory and practice.

After hearing the words of that majestic voice, Rosalind realized that He was answering the question she had mentioned earlier.

After pondering it for a moment, Rosalind still couldn't immediately wrap her mind around it. "But people's desires and emotions can affect Beyonders, and there's not even a peaceful place for ascetic practice."

This question was not a difficult one for Odysseus. He continued in a majestic voice, "Austerity does not necessarily refer to physical asceticism, but also spiritual asceticism.

"In a chaotic environment, one can still hold on to one's beliefs, and in the face of the onslaught of human nature, one can still maintain one's character. This is the true asceticism."

Hearing this, Rosalind felt herself trembling all over: "The direction is wrong... My direction is wrong... The direction of our ascetic practice is wrong!"

Rosalind's thinking may be a bit rigid and inflexible, but as one of the "Ten Pillars", she is definitely not a fool. She immediately understood the key point and realized that there was a big problem with the ascetic method she adhered to.

Then, a trembling sense of "epiphany" came over her, as if the problems she had faced over the years were solved at once!
Rosalind fell to the ground: "Praise you, great being!"

Then she asked, "Excuse me, what should I do specifically?"

Odisla paused for a second or two before saying, "Renovate a carriage and turn it into a mobile library. Use books to teach people knowledge, especially those poor people who are hungry for knowledge. Teach them patiently and let them experience the joy of gaining knowledge."

Rosalind suddenly felt a tingling sensation at the back of her head. She had read in some ancient documents that members of the "Moss Ascetic Order" had done this in the Fourth Epoch.

Before, Rosalind thought it was just spreading knowledge, but now she realized that perhaps it was the correct way to practice asceticism.

So Rosalind thought of a more important question. She asked in a very respectful tone: "What should I call you?"

After a few seconds, the majestic voice said, "You can call me the Lord of Mysteries!"

Just now, Odysseus almost blurted out "You can call me 'Hermit'", but when he thought about how his name would be the same as the Sequence 0 name of this path, it seemed a bit cheap. He immediately thought about it and finally came up with the name "Lord of Mysteries".

Rosalind was stunned. "Isn't it the Hidden Sage? Then why would He give me such guidance?"
Then she quickly said respectfully, "Praise you! Great Lord of Mysteries!"

Odysseus nodded slowly and withdrew all his strength.

Rosalind lay on the ground for another ten seconds before slowly getting up. At this time, her eyes had become very bright!

……

In the "wilderness of knowledge".

Seeing that Rosalind was still thinking, Odysseus knew that she was changing her mindset, so he returned to the real world to rest.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that the Tarot Club would be held tomorrow, but he had not yet activated the two "Gus Staffs" in the "God-Forsaken Land".

So he put his spirit into one of the staffs of Gus in the "God-forsaken Land".

……

"The Land Forsaken by God", near Silver City.

The exploration team that Derrick Berg was in could already see the outline of the City of Silver in the flickering light emitted by the lightning.

They couldn't help but quicken their pace, hoping to return to Silver City and reunite with their families as soon as possible.

At this moment, everyone's spirituality seemed to be suddenly touched, and they all looked towards the mountains in the south of Silver City.

There, a brilliant light rose up, emitting beautiful glow in the air.

Those were colors they had never seen before, and they seemed to illuminate the sky beautifully, with strange spots of light flashing in the colors.

After a dozen breaths, the brilliant light disappeared. A few seconds passed before everyone reacted. One of the team members asked, "Is that the star mentioned in the book?"

After recovering from the shock, Derrick recalled the commission from Mr. Hermit at the last Tarot Club, which asked him to pay attention to whether there were any strange things happening near Silver City.

Could this be the strange thing that Mr. Hermit was talking about?

At this time, the team leader, Colin, said, "Keep going."

Derrick came to his senses and thought that he was about to attend the Tarot Club, so he could ask Mr. Hermit what was going on.

……

In the "wilderness of knowledge".

Odysseus discovered that if he held the "Hermit Card", he could make the "Staff of Gus" in the outside world fly directly into the air. If that staff was near the Silver City, Derrick would probably find it.

Then he injected spiritual energy into another "Staff of Gus" in the "God-Forsaken Land". Just like before, he slowly withdrew the spiritual energy after more than ten seconds.

At this moment, Odysseus discovered that the vision of the staff suddenly began to spin rapidly.

His vision quickly returned to normal, and Odysseus saw that the "Staff of Gus" appeared in the hands of a man wearing a monocle and with a playful smile on his face.

It's Amon!
Odysseus twitched the corner of his mouth.

The "God of Mischief" in the "Forsaken Land" took the staff and looked at it before smiling and saying, "It's actually a 'Staff of Gus'. Not bad."

Then, he casually put it on his waist and looked up in the direction of Odysseus's vision: "Are you awake?"

Immediately, Odysseus's "true vision" was "stolen" and he could see nothing.

This made Odysseus scratch his head and sigh, "This staff has fallen into a den of thieves."

Then Odysseus's spirit felt that Amon could not always "steal" the connection between the "Wild Knowledge" and the "Staff of Gus", and he could still occasionally see the situation on Amon's side.

However, it is very likely that as soon as he "looks over", Amon will notice it and "steal" his real vision again.

This made Odysseus realize that the one who got the staff was most likely Amon's real body, or at least an angel-level clone.

Odysseus sighed and could only consider that the "Staff of Gus" was lost. He couldn't go to Amon to ask for it, right?
If that were the case, Odysseus himself would likely be "lost" as well.

At this moment, he could only pray that the other staff would not fall into Amon's hands.

Finally, Odysseus thought of what Amon had just said: "He must have mistaken me for a sage, right? That's why he asked me if I was awake."
Odysseus didn't take it too seriously and returned to the real world, comforting himself in his heart: It's just a staff, the loss is not big.

Then he continued to rest by using the method of "meditation".

On Monday morning, after getting up, Odysseus first took a walk around Cruz Island. After seeing that everything on the island was operating normally, he returned to the boat to think about writing a book.

Time quickly came to the afternoon, at three o'clock sharp. Odysseus, lying in an easy chair, had his vision covered by gray fog. In the blink of an eye, he appeared at the venue of the Tarot Club, on one side of the long bronze table.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool." As usual, Audrey "Justice" stood up, lifted her skirt slightly, and began the greetings.

Klein the Fool smiled and nodded in response, but during the following greetings, he noticed that Miss Justice seemed to be worried.

He estimated that the assassination of Duke Negan by the Hermit had touched "Justice" a little.

Klein didn't intend to ask about this matter, so he pretended not to see it.

After the members greeted each other, Priestess Cattleya was the first to speak: "Mr. Fool, I only collected one page of Russell's diary this time."

This surprised Klein a little. After all, Bernadette should have many diaries. However, he did not show any abnormality on the surface and just nodded slightly.

Cattleya immediately materialized a yellow-brown opportunity and watched it fall into Mr. Fool's hands.

Klein glanced down casually. Although it was only one page, it contained a lot of information. Part of it was about Russell capturing several followers of the "Original Moon", as well as some of his investigations and speculations.

This made Klein stunned for a moment, because last week, "Moon" Emlyn got into trouble while hunting the followers of "Original Moon", and it was Klein who helped resolve it.

I didn't expect to get Russell's diary containing the content of "Original Moon" so soon.

Most of the other diaries were conversations between Russell and Mr. "Gate", which revealed some secrets of the Fourth Epoch, but this information had already been traded with "Hermit" in advance.

After reading the diary, Klein pondered the matter of the "Primal Moon" while making the diary disappear. He smiled and asked the "Priestess": "What do you want?"

Cattleya repeated the question posed by the "Queen": "Excuse me, besides Emperor Roselle, who else is the protagonist of this diary?"
