After confirming Megose's condition, Lin Ruo didn't linger in Tingen and left swiftly.
Back in Backlund, Lin Ruo removed his disguise, sat on the sofa, and after a moment of thought, wrote:
[Because of secret cooperation with the Aurora Order, the military has decided to tell members of the Aurora Order what they saw and heard during the Capim incident.]
As soon as he wrote this sentence, Lin Ruo felt an odd sensation, which made him narrow his eyes, but he wasn't too surprised.
"As expected, it's already been said? Then…" He suddenly curled the corners of his mouth, and then wrote:
[Regarding the True Creator, Mr. A of the Aurora Order will go to Tingen to investigate the situation.]
Consumption ensued, Lin Ruo sensed it, and then his expression became a little strange.
"This consumption… is smaller than I expected."
Such a small consumption meant that even without Lin Ruo pushing it, this matter was very likely to happen.
"True Creator… Tsk!" Lin Ruo curled his lips but didn't dwell on the issue.
He knew his limits when it came to matters involving True God level beings.
Besides… who knows what that madman is thinking?
Afterward, Lin Ruo glanced at the clock on the table and decided to go to Tingen to teach Klein as usual.
Of course, he had other arrangements, but those would only work after this [Truth] about Mr. A took effect.
And before that, Lin Ruo would naturally do what he was supposed to do.
…
Meanwhile, in a spacious basement that resembled a temple.
A man in a hooded black robe knelt in the dimness, whispering something with false sincerity. Through a corner of the hood, one could vaguely see the man's beautiful face, so much so that one would doubt his gender.
He was one of the twenty-two Divine Envoys of the Aurora Order, affectionately known as Mr. A by readers in the original story, who later merged with the Indescribable Hunger.
In front of him was a statue nearly 3 meters tall, depicting an upside-down person with legs bound by chains, connected upwards.
This upside-down figure had the unique vertical single eye of a giant, with arms stretched out horizontally, forming a cross.
If someone with knowledge of mysticism were here, they would surely recognize it as a statue of the True Creator.
A man covered in a black robe walked over from a corner, saying with a fearful attitude:
"Mr. A, that little mouse suddenly died."
"Useless!" Mr. A didn't turn his head, but his tone was quite displeased.
The man in the black robe immediately knelt down, his expression becoming even more fearful.
Suddenly, Mr. A's body froze, and his eyes closed.
The man in the black robe, who had originally wanted to beg for forgiveness, didn't dare to disturb him and could only kneel there quietly.
After a long while, Mr. A opened his eyes, but his head was lowered even further:
"I respectfully obey Your will."
His tone was pious and fanatical.
"Retreat!" Afterward, Mr. A raised his head, gave a sentence in a indifferent tone, and then stood up.
He was going to arrange the relevant matters in Backlund and then go to Tingen.
…
Tingen, Blackthorn Security Company.
"Did Dunn mention to you about becoming a formal member?" After arriving in Tingen and greeting Klein, Lin Ruo wasn't in a hurry to start the daily teaching, but asked a question first.
Klein was stunned, then nodded frankly, saying: "Captain asked me, and I agreed… but it will take two to three days for the results, and I don't know if the Holy Cathedral will approve."
After speaking, he looked at Lin Ruo, hesitated for a second, and said: "Lin Ruo, you don't have to push the credit that belongs to you onto me. You have no obligation to take care of me. On the contrary, I owe you more and more."
Although it was comfortable to have a fellow countryman unconditionally taking care of him, as a grateful person who would never be a freeloader, Klein said this after struggling for a while.
Because he knew that Lin Ruo really didn't need to take care of him so much.
Even if they were fellow countrymen, the other party had no obligation to do so.
Hearing this, Lin Ruo blinked, then deliberately showed a conflicted expression on his face, saying: "Actually… I'm just compensating you."
Klein: ? ? ?
Compensating? What compensation?
"Cough!" Lin Ruo coughed, and with preparation, a look of guilt mixed with self-blame appeared on his face at the right time, saying: "Actually, I was going to tell you today… The spirit channeling I taught you before is a kind of ritualistic magic. But at that time, I only taught you how to channel, but I didn't tell you the various precautions of ritualistic magic."
Klein: ? ? ?
There were even more question marks on Klein's forehead, after all, Lin Ruo's words before and after were completely unrelated.
However, out of politeness and trust in Lin Ruo, he still listened quietly to the other party's words.
Lin Ruo continued to maintain the expression on his face, smiling wryly as he said: "I taught you before that there are many kinds of ritualistic magic, but because low-sequence Beyonders are not strong enough, almost all the ritualistic magic that can be performed is to ask for power from the outside. For example, the spirit channeling I taught you before is asking the Goddess for help."
Hearing this, Klein nodded. Lin Ruo had indeed said this when he taught him spirit channeling, and he had also warned him to only pray to the Evernight Goddess.
"I warned you before that you can only pray to the Evernight Goddess when performing ritualistic magic, but I didn't tell you the reason…" Lin Ruo paused here, then suddenly sighed, saying:
"Now I'll tell you the reason. The reason why you must never try to communicate with unknown and unpredictable existences is because for those existences, once you try it once, you will inevitably slide into the abyss. All efforts, all struggles, can only slow down the speed and cannot reverse the trend."
He looked at Klein, his eyes full of guilt and self-blame, making it impossible to see any falsehood, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I didn't tell you about the dangers of praying to unknown existences when I first met you, and I let you perform that ritual, forcing you to experience contact with that Fool."
Klein was shocked. In that instant, he thought of many things. Looking at the guilty youth in front of him, Klein's mood was complicated, but at the same time, he felt a little guilty.
After all, Klein himself knew very well what the so-called Fool was all about.
After a moment of silence, he asked: "Did you already know the danger of that ritual at the beginning?"
"I…" Lin Ruo smiled wryly: "You might not believe it if I say it, but I actually know a little about the existence pointed to by the ritual you performed… But in the information I know, He was clearly gone long ago. So, logically speaking, your ritual couldn't have succeeded at all, and that's why I let you…"
"I don't know why it would point to that Fool… It shouldn't be, there shouldn't be a Fool yet!" At the end, Lin Ruo's expression became more and more agitated.
