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

Chapter 180: Learn about the Earth Church?

"Do you think this is a smoke bomb thrown by the other party?"

"smoke bomb?"

Essinger pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's a good metaphor, Sherlock. Yes, I think it's a smoke bomb."

"I have thought about it before, but I really can't think of any goal worthy of the other party."

Sherlock frowned.

in fact.

Klein has an idea——

Duke Negan.

The existence in the dark can attract a pirate lieutenant general, but it may not be able to attract an "apostle of desire".

of course.

The premise is that the organization has the "Abyss" blasphemy card.

Only such temptation can induce the existence of Sequence 5 to take desperate risks.

He thought for a moment and spoke in a joking tone.

"I heard that Chillingus committed a series of murders in the East End in order to assassinate Duke Negan. Could he have similar thoughts?"

"Duke Negan? Impossible, he is the leader of the Conservative Party."

Essinger replied with a smile, then he was slightly startled, his mouth pursed, and his face gradually became serious.

On the contrary, Klein's expression was still smiling, as if he was really joking.

"I don't think so. After all, after being assassinated once, Duke Negan will definitely be more cautious..."

Klein smiled and said, "We can't suffer a similar assassination a second time, right? He must be prepared, and who can pay such a high price?"

Essinger thought for a few seconds.

Then he looked in the direction of Queens.

"It's not impossible."

……

"Mr. Egger, this is what the gentleman delivered this morning."

"what?"

Roy looked over.

Jennifer took out a small package and shook her head slightly: "I don't know, it said it was a reward for you."

"Thank you."

Roy took it and opened it.

A bag of jasmine tea with a book on the bottom.

"Backlund's Geography"?

what the hell.

He opened it as he walked.

Good guy!

This is Backlund's map, which contains detailed road facilities, including sewers.

There is also a piece of paper sandwiched in the book, which says——

"I hope it can be helpful to you in Backlund."

Roy put it away.

This book is important.

He had never seen such a detailed map on the market, and it even contained records about some extraordinary creatures and materials.

Knowledge!

Roy sighed again.

Basic knowledge may be found everywhere, but this type of specially collected knowledge is worth more than an ordinary pound of gold.

Essinger still uses his heart.

He sat by the window and studied it carefully. Halfway through the book, he looked up and saw the old man.

The old man is here again.

"Hello."

"Mr. Egg, I would like to pay for some consultation, and you will be paid."

"Please sit down."

Roy raised his eyebrows and did not agree immediately.

The other party sat down, then paused for a moment, and said, "Maybe you have guessed that I am the author of that book, Moroz, but my last name is actually Negan."

Moroz Negan?

Roy raised his eyebrows and said slightly surprised: "The Negan family?"

"Yes."

Moroz nodded.

"Your book has some insights, but unfortunately, the current trend is industrialization, which is difficult to stop."

Roy said.

This gentleman has analyzed all the benefits of small-scale farmer economy, and is not just talking about environmental protection.

But unfortunately.

Capital is chasing profits, and it is difficult to change the current situation without control from above.

"I understand. What I want to ask is, how can we resist the current invasion of foreign food?"

the old man asked.

Roy raised his head, looked at the other person carefully, and then said: "Of course it's better food and technology."

"Food, technology?"

Moroz thought for a second and said, "Can you elaborate?"

"It's more expensive."

Roy said with a smile.

"Money is not a problem. Our Negan family has enough money, even the special materials you extraordinary people need."

The other party is also calm.

As a member of the Negan family, he knows the existence of extraordinary people and extraordinary materials, and wants to be rewarded with it.

Roy had no reason to refuse.

He thought for a while and said, "Let's communicate in the quiet room upstairs?"

"it is good."

Moroz nodded.

The two came to the quiet room upstairs, and then Moroz said: "To tell you the truth, I paid attention to you when I learned that people from Lundborg were coming to exchange and study."

"Are you representing Duke Negan?"

"I represent the Negan family."

Moroz said.

The Negan family is very large, including not only Duke Negan, but also Prime Minister Lord Agushid Negan.

Together they support the current Negan family.

but.

Within the family, it's obviously not just them.

There are also many tribesmen who are in charge of business and fields.

Moroz may represent this group of people within the family.

"For this question, I need a crystallized sunflower, which is equivalent to 200 pounds."

"can."

Moroz nodded without hesitation.

Roy nodded and said: "You have studied the agricultural structure in your early years, so you should be able to understand what I am going to say next."

"It is difficult for small-scale production to compete with large-scale production in terms of cost. Do you agree?"

What he means is——

Loen's traditional production structure.

Moroz thought for a second and nodded: "Yes, this is also what worries me, and I also understand that it is impossible to really go back to the past era."

"Yes, Mr. Moroz, the times are progressing, and it is impossible for Roen to defy the times."

Roy smiled and said, "If you want to fight against foreign grain merchants, you have to do the same thing as them."

"Believe in the Church of the Earth?"

Moroz frowned, obviously not accepting such a suggestion.

Roy shook his head: "Food, technology. Food includes fine grain seeds, and technology includes mechanical technology and extraordinary technology related to planting."

“We have also been doing the selection of grain varieties.”

Moroz said.

Roy was a little amused and said: "You know Extraordinary, let me tell you straight. In the way controlled by the Church of the Earth, they have the ability to hybridize various types of food."

"I know an excommunicated lunatic who came up with a plan to combine cows and wheat."

Roy introduces Frank's creation.

Moroz blinked, listened politely, and exclaimed: "He is really crazy, and it's a good thing he was excommunicated!"

"No, sir, you need to note that although his invention is crazy, it is successful in a sense, otherwise he will not be expelled."

Roy corrected his idea, "I say this because I hope you understand their limits. Even animals and plants can complete hybridization, let alone plants and plants?"

Moroz was stunned for a second, then realized...

The other party actually said——

Their seed selection is nothing compared to extraordinary abilities.     This is an innate gap.

He was silent.

"Mechanical technology is easy to solve. You have the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery in Loen. You can entrust them to create and invent better creations, assist in reclamation, sowing, etc."

"But the Earth Church also has many special techniques in planting. According to recent news from our church, the Earth Church has recently created some special scrolls."

Roy recounts the "Weeding Scroll" and other tidbits.

of course.

He kept the message deliberately vague.

The more Moroz listened, the darker his face became. However, he did not want to express his anger, but after listening to it, he truly realized the gap between Loen's agriculture and Feneport's agriculture.

He took a deep breath.

"Mr. Egger, is the gap really that big?"

"It's not that you are weak, but the Church of the Earth is deeply involved in this field. A group of people have been studying it for hundreds of years. It is difficult for you to compete with them."

Roy said.

Moroz was silent and then asked: "As you said, farming technology and mechanical technology are easy to solve, but what about grain seeds?"

"Find a way to buy it from the Church of the Earth. There is no other way, or you can cultivate your own cultivators."

"too difficult."

Moroz shook his head.

Low-sequence cultivators are easy to train, but at mid- and high-sequences, the key materials are all taught and controlled, making it difficult to improve——

Controlling a pathway is not about controlling the formula, but controlling the key materials of this pathway.

He thought for a moment and said, "I know there is a Church of the Earth Church over there in the South District. Can I get grain seeds there?"

"I don't know. I am a believer in the Church of Knowledge, not the Church of the Earth, but I can try, provided that this church is recognized by the Mother Goddess of the Earth and is not a forgery."

Roy replied.

Moroz nodded: "I will investigate. Thank you, Mr. Egger. Your suggestions are very helpful. I will send the materials you need as soon as possible."

"Thank you."

Roy nodded with a smile.

Moroz suddenly said: "Are you interested in becoming a consultant to our Negan family?"

"Sorry, I came to Backlund mainly to study, and I will return to Lundberg after a while."

Roy shook his head and refused.

Moroz said: "Then do you accept temporary employment?"

"As long as it doesn't affect my study plan and the remuneration is sufficient, it's okay."

Roy smiled and huddled his tall body on the chair. "Life in Backlund is very expensive. Even living in the Jowood District requires a lot of expenditure."

"I heard that your channel also has good abilities in investigation?"

Moroz asked.

Roy nodded: "Yes."

"Then I want to hire you to find out who wants to kill him. You can raise the price."

"I don't know about the assassination of Duke Negan before. Moreover, so long time has passed and many traces have disappeared. I'm afraid it will be difficult to trace it."

Roy shook his head and refused, then explained, "Extraordinary is not omnipotent. We can only speculate on past conditions based on existing traces."

"So that's it..."

Moroz sat back regretfully and continued, "Are you free tonight? I want to take you to meet Duke Negan."

"Evening?"

Duke Negan…

Roy didn't feel very safe, but—

This seems like a good deal.

Something must have happened to Duke Negan, and he happened to know this information.

He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll be free tonight."

"Okay, then I'll have someone pick you up this afternoon."

……

In the afternoon, before it was time to get off work, the Negan family's car arrived at the library.

soon.

Roy got the news——

He can leave early.

The power of the Negan family is extraordinary. Let alone leaving early, it is not a big problem even if they have a holiday today.

It's just that Roy is not happy.

If you go to the Negan family at noon, you may not know what you will experience.

It’s okay to leave early.

He was able to catch up with the Negan family, and his identity as a follower of the Church of Knowledge was greatly blessed. This shows that the identity information Liana obtained is absolutely true.

otherwise.

With the power of the Negan family, how could it be possible to contact them easily and proactively.

"Mr. Moroz, I didn't expect you to come here in person."

"I happened to be passing by. I originally wanted to read a book, but since you can leave, let's go to Duke Negan's house together."

Moroz smiled, then looked at Roy, "I specially took the largest carriage. I hope you can enjoy the comfortable carriage."

"Thank you. I rarely ride in such a spacious carriage in Backlund. Sometimes I have to worry that I need to pay twice to ride a public carriage."

Roy joked.

Egg White was tall, but not to the point where he needed to pay for two tickets.

Moroz smiled and said nothing, not taking it seriously.

Although the other party is not a noble, as a mid-level Beyonder, he has a lot of money in his hands.

only……

This is not the area where the other party spends money.

As an important member of the Negan family, money does not play a high role in his eyes. Ability and influence are the most important parts.

after all.

When it comes to money, few families in Loen can compete with the Negan family.

They rode all the way to Queens.

"Duke Negan is having a ball tonight, and most of the members at this ball are Conservatives."

"At that time, we may consult you for some relevant information."

Moroz said.

He seemed to know what Roy was thinking and immediately added.

"The promised reward will not be small. For the crystallized sunflower you mentioned before, we can directly provide one of the singer's extraordinary characteristics or magical items."

"can."

Roy had no problem with that.

Any opinions are based on the fact that the things provided are not in place.

Now that the reward has doubled, there is nothing to worry about.

On the way to Queens in the car, Roy was about to take out a book to read when he heard a vague voice in his ears.

"Great Mr. Fool, I would like to ask you to help convey my request."

"I hope to get more scrolls. In addition, I want to meet the 'Hermit' in a Tarot meeting."

This is a woman's voice, it should be Miss Justice.

because……

With Xio's financial resources, he probably couldn't afford his own scroll.

Roy cursed.

but.

He can't respond yet.

Roy opened the book and pretended to read until he arrived at a villa in Queens.

"arrive."

"Mr. Moroz, I want to go to the bathroom first."

"No problem, I'll ask the valet to take you there."

Moroz nodded.

After a while, Roy, led by the valet, came to the bathroom of the villa and whispered in response to his previous prayer.

Then, a crimson light enveloped him, and he and "Justice" arrived above the gray fog.

"Thank you for your time, Mr. Hermit, and thank you also, the great Mr. Fool."

Justice thanked them all very politely.

Roy smiled and said, "I was busy just now, and I just have free time now. As for the scrolls, I don't have them with me at the moment, but I can give you some at the Tarot meeting the day after tomorrow."

"No problem, I'm not in a hurry about the scroll. I'm looking for you because I have other things I want to ask for help."
