Lin Ruo really didn't care much about the Red Priest card.

After all, he had already seen the most important potion formula inside the card. As for the other functions—anti-divination was useless, and as for the Red Priest card's attraction to the Hunter pathway characteristics, it really wasn't as effective as Lin Ruo's own Truth.

What did he want this broken thing for?

There was no place to show off!

It would be better to give it to Klein, at least allowing him to appreciate the limited edition 'Red Priest Set' Klein, and also enabling the Tarot Club members to implement the anti-divination 'Paper Archangel' function. Why not!

"But…" Klein, who was a little dazed from being hit by Lin Ruo with a braised chestnut, wanted to retort, but saw Lin Ruo waving his hand.

"Stop with the 'buts'. Just take it. It's not a big deal."

Not a big deal… Looking at the Red Priest card in his hand, which would probably alarm the Church if thrown out, Klein's mouth twitched slightly, and he finally put it away.

Lin Ruo glanced at him and said, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"

"Lin Ruo, what you said to Mr. Medici just now, about nurturing me, being too late, and supporting Abraham, what does it all mean?" Hearing this, Klein's attention was immediately diverted, and he asked.

This was the most confusing part for him. If he could understand it at first as nurturing him to become an angel in order to survive the apocalypse, what was the meaning behind it later?

How would he be related to Mr. Door?

"Well…" Lin Ruo blinked, looked at Klein, and said seriously, "Can I lie?"

Klein: …

Klein's mouth twitched again, and he replied equally seriously, "No."

"Okay, then I won't lie to you." Lin Ruo crossed his arms, leaned back in his chair, looked at Klein, and said, "But I can't answer this question right now. It's not that I don't want to, but that I can't."

"Is it… knowledge that can only be known at Sequence 2?" Klein frowned.

"You can understand it that way." Lin Ruo nodded, looked at Klein, his eyes a little complicated, "But that's not a bad thing for you… Anyway, work hard to advance, Klein. The truth you want to know, when you advance to a sufficient height, I will tell you everything."

Including the matter of the Lord of the Mysteries, including the matter of confronting Amon, and also including…

You can never go back, because you have never left.

Lin Ruo looked at Klein, but in his mind, he thought of the City of Silver that only Klein could reach in the later stages of the original work, and suddenly felt a little melancholy.

It wasn't for Klein, but for himself.

Klein could still reminisce in the City of Silver, but he could no longer see even a trace of familiar scenery.

Forget it, don't think about this anymore! I can't think about this anymore!

Lin Ruo shook his head, suppressing all kinds of thoughts, and took the initiative to speak: "As for the matter of the Loen royal family, the Augustus family… it's just as you heard, they plan to cultivate a Sequence 0 Black Emperor, for which countless people have died."

After a pause, Lin Ruo continued: "Do you still remember the Capim case? Capim was a p|mp working for the Loen royal family. Most of the people he abducted became consumables for the Loen royal family."

"The big conspiracy brewing in Backlund that I mentioned recently is also related to the Loen royal family." Lin Ruo said here with a gloomy look, "According to my investigation, they should be planning to launch a major disaster in Backlund next, using the deaths of countless people to cover up the missing population, and even at the cost of cooperating with some secret organizations with blood on their hands."

"Once this plan succeeds, probably tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even more people will die as a result."

"How can they do this?" Klein was shocked. Even though he had already learned about the Loen royal family from Lin Ruo and Medici's conversation, he didn't expect the Loen royal family to actually plan to commit such atrocities.

This made Klein angry, and his mood also became heavy. He looked at Lin Ruo and asked, "Can't we report it to the Church?"

"Not for the time being. I'm not sure about the Church of the Evernight Goddess, but I can be sure that there are high-ranking traitors in other Churches. Moreover… the Augustus family is not an easy target. Although it's not 100% certain, there are probably three angels in the Augustus family, not to mention the Grade 0 Sealed Artifacts they possess."

"With such strength, even the three major Churches cannot easily move the Augustus family without conclusive evidence." Lin Ruo said, rubbing his temples with some pressure.

"Moreover, the Augustus family itself has also colluded with some secret organizations, such as the Demoness Sect, the Psychology Alchemists, etc. There are even some big shots behind this pushing the waves. The Seven Gods… their attitude is also hard to say. In short, it's a very troublesome and difficult existence."

Klein pursed his lips, his mood becoming heavier and heavier.

If he didn't have a substantial concept of the power of the Loen royal family and the Augustus family before, now, after hearing Lin Ruo's description, he immediately understood the gap between the two sides.

Faced with such an enemy, even if Lin Ruo is now a low-health angel, even if his strength has recovered, he would probably be under a lot of pressure!

And he, a Sequence 7, might not even be able to make a splash when facing such an enemy.

"Okay, don't think so much. Even if the Augustus family's matter is very difficult to deal with, they also have their own limitations. At least the conspiracy they are going to carry out in Backlund next is not so difficult to stop. As for other things, let's talk about them later."

Just when Klein felt that he was overwhelmed by the pressure, Lin Ruo suddenly patted his head, like comforting a lost cat.

The latter's smile returned to its usual gentle and calm, and he said: "And we are not without allies. Not to mention others, Queen Mystic can basically be won over, and Bornova of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery… they are all Roselle's children, and once a new Black Emperor is born, the Great Emperor will really have no hope at all. They have to do something for their father, right."

"I should know a lot of people I used to know, and there will always be a way. What's more, if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. With me here, it's not your turn, a Sequence 7, to bear this pressure." Lin Ruo said with a smile, "You should work hard to advance first… How is the Magician potion digesting?"

Since Klein advanced to Magician, Lin Ruo had been busy at sea or elsewhere for a long time, and he really hadn't paid attention to Klein's recent potion digestion situation.

"It's digested a quarter of it. I have roughly summarized the first rule of the Magician: don't perform without preparation. If I find a few more opportunities to perform, I might be able to try to advance to Faceless before the New Year." Although he still felt heavy, hearing Lin Ruo's words, Klein had to say that he breathed a sigh of relief and replied.

He had a very exciting time during this period, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to find Mr. A's gathering so quickly, and the progress of potion digestion was naturally not bad.

"Is that so…" Lin Ruo pinched his chin, and was quite satisfied with this progress. After thinking for a while, he said: "Sharron and Maric may need help during this period, and you should be able to get a chance to perform by then."

"Well, I'll push the progress of the manuscript matter later, and try to finish this matter as soon as possible, so that you can digest the potion with peace of mind."
