But now is not the ti to indulge in strength and knowledge.
The Hero silently stared at the female doctor while analyzing and assessing her in his mind.
The female doctor swallowed her saliva as her previous vigilance and sharpness turned into a slight panic. The Magic Surgery Knife between her fingers couldn't rise half an inch, as if she was in a dilemma.
In Alien Machinery City, where the academic atmosphere is open, although there are indeed so Taboo Knowledge not suitable for public disclosure, they are well preserved and sealed under the managent of the City Lord Mansion, leaving no room for Knowledge Hunters to intervene.
On the other hand, as Magic Guide City where nurous wise n and scholars gather, Alien Machinery City is also a suitable place for spreading Taboo Knowledge.
Therefore, the appearance of Knowledge Hunters in Alien Machinery City is not uncommon.
Moreover, their appearance is often not to harvest souls, but to spread knowledge, so they are regarded as a risky surprise.
'But, why did they co to ?'
A drop of cold sweat appeared on the female doctor's forehead.
Although she is an excellent Prosthetic Doctor, compared to those scholars and Arcane Engineers, she is not considered a qualified disseminator.
Could it be for harvesting? But besides so imperial secrets, there is nothing taboo on her...
Moreover, the aura emitted by this Knowledge Hunter is beyond imagination. Although she instinctively adopted a defensive posture at first, she now realizes she probably can't even resist.
Even though the Knowledge Hunter in front of her showed no reaction or action, she could still feel herself being "observed."
And with the Perception fully locked onto the female doctor, the Hero was not in a hurry to act, nor was he worried about her escaping, continuing to converse with himself internally.
'I see, so this is what you an by 'key role'?'
In her view, the black threads of the Wandering Theater were incessantly falling from the void, attempting to invade the female doctor's body but were blocked by a thin layer of white light, unable to penetrate.
Simply put, this is the "role" given to her by the imperial replica theater.
And the Prototype Array is trying to modify her "setting."
Unlike the original theater's brutal chanism of forcibly altering concepts, manipulating souls, and replacing real will with acting, the empire's "role halo" is more like guidance and coordination—integrating an individual's Inner will with the external role, providing invisible Blessing in reality.
The Hero herself had experienced similar enhancent, with the staff that used to belong to the Goblin Great Priest, which she had already put away.
'The directional motive of the soul… by assigning suitable roles to the right people, their actions beco smoother?'
A spy given the "spy" role seems unchanged, but internally becos firm and decisive, adept in Stealth and negotiation...
When performing actions aligning with the role, not only can they exert 120% strength, the results often turn out surprisingly plentiful.
'Exactly, that's why the empire continues to expand and strengthen despite the dragon calamity's invasion. Tsk, this is almost like cheating.' The Depraved Hero affird.
Scholars are more focused when studying, warriors train more single-mindedly...
Although such motivational support doesn't rival the Great Priest's staff's power, it doesn't bring transformative changes initially, but over ti can create stark differences.
The empire is a blessed land of talent, with many claiming the unseen favor of successive emperors...
While the existence of the Wandering Theater is completely secret, those empire citizens who perceived this phenonon have explained it in their cultural way.
'But even for the empire, such Blessing shouldn't be available to all, right?'
'Exactly, so this is definitely a carefully selected resource allocation. Moreover, this woman is also targeted by the Prototype Array.'
'That's why you said she's key—if the Prototype Array successfully alters her role, both Alien Machinery City and the empire will be affected.'
'Two birds with one stone.'
They discussed one by one, gradually unveiling the unknown veil.
'The current issue is determining the doctor's original role and the plot.'
'I rummaged through the bookshelves in her clinic, besides dical books, there are many romance novels and parenting guides, even a few books about won competing for favor in harems!
'That ans, this seemingly gentle and skilled Prosthetic Doctor is actually a lovesick girl who likes younger ones and wants to have many children!'
'...Is that so.' Listening to the other self enthusiastically delving into others' privacy, the Hero looked at the tall and gentle-tempered female doctor with indescribable feelings.
'Don't think it's a Disguise; she genuinely likes it. What's that saying: No acting skills can compare to a true expression of feelings.
'But undercover or not, she truly is undercover. Hehe, if there wasn't a rebellion, the little City Lord would really be blessed.'
'Can you stop always steering thoughts in that direction?'
'What, you also—'

'Don't digress.'
'Tsk~'
Under the Hero's reprimand, the other her unwillingly withdrew from the imminent personal privacy overwhelm.
'Growing up like this wasn't easy, thinking about it, it's nothing, it's not sothing weird.'
'Even being in the Hunting Knowledge Incarnation state now, how can your mind be filled with that amidst such knowledge?' The Hero couldn't help but retort, despite telling the other self not to digress.
'Didn't you take ages to learn the Fireball Technique before and ran around naked all day; now you're all proper. Books aren't that great, thinking about happy things is better.' The Depraved Hero responded dismissively.
'Besides, I'm your opposite! Don't you know what opposite ans, a seemingly quiet and gentle literary girl, but secretly a—'
'Please focus on the proper matters, I'm begging you.' The Hero pleaded with resignation, interrupting the other self.
'Anyway, the doctor's goal is to get close to the City Lord and bear his Lineage, that does make sense.'
'Alright, proper matters... Indeed, although the magician's lineage is sowhat random, with the Blessing of the theater, this woman might actually succeed in bringing back the Lineage of a chanical Soul Magician to the empire.'
'True, and if the Prototype Wandering Theater intends to interfere in this developnt, naturally it'll target her.'
'No need for drastic changes, just making her a bit more radical, like assaulting the City Lord at night, or even contacting the chanical Empress without authorization, saying the empire supports you, with the exchange condition being letting have the City Lord as a—'
'Alright, enough analysis here. I don't want to know how erratic my negative thoughts can beco.'
Having reached a conclusion, the Hero decisively ended the internal discussion session, refocusing attention on the female doctor in front.
She still stood motionlessly in the center of the alley, sweat soaking her forehead, her paleness suggesting she might faint any second.
When a glass cup is thrown on the ground, it shatters, but if reinforced with enhancing magic beforehand, it can be avoided.
Even without the power of the Divine Knowledge Saintess, as long as enough intelligence and deduction are available, anyone can foresee the future to so extent.
Prophecy spells, although profound and obscure, are also based on sound magical theory.
For the Hero controlling the Hunting Knowledge Incarnation with the Great Library's support, direct observation could deduce the general course of the female doctor's actions.
The direction of the stage was gradually becoming clear, and the timing for her to intervene in the performance was now.
The only issue was, how would she interfere with this glass cup?
Gazing at the sweat-soaked female doctor, the Hero pondered silently.
