Bornova, the second son of Emperor Roselle, a proper Sequence 2 angel.
In the original work, he became a devout believer in the God of Steam and Machinery due to being influenced by the God of Steam and Machinery. Although he was directly promoted to Sequence 2, he did not maintain his humanity very well.
A large part of the reason why Emperor Roselle later broke with Steam was because of this.
When Lin Ruo read the book, he also felt sorry for this character, and even once felt that Steam was really a sly old fox, actually wanting to control, restrict, and warn Roselle in this way. However, after reading the ending, Lin Ruo changed his view of Steam, and his specific psychological activities were:
— I thought you were a sly old fox, but I didn't expect you to be a simple noob and a lucky emperor?
— I thought you turned Bornova into an angel to control, restrict, and warn Roselle, but it turned out you wanted to show your goodwill to him in this way?
— What's wrong with your Church of the God of Steam and Machinery? How come everyone from top to bottom, from God to sealed items, has a hobby of being a simp?
Ahem, cross out the last one.
Anyway, through the story of Steam and Roselle, Lin Ruo understood that differences in values really need to be communicated in time.
Like Bornova's matter, for Steam, it was bestowing glory upon Roselle, allowing his family to have two angels in the future, becoming the right-hand man of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery, completely showing goodwill. But for Roselle, Steam's behavior was almost like obliterating his youngest son. As a modern person, Roselle didn't care about any glory at all, he just wanted his son to be well.
It can only be said that fate is also playing tricks on people.
Of course, no matter what the situation was in the original work, now, after his intervention, everything has obviously changed somewhat.
For example, although Bornova is still an angel, he has maintained his humanity well, and may even make the same "The taste of a Demoness isn't bad" sound as his father.
Lin Ruo didn't feel comfortable evaluating this change. He just shook the letter in his hand, and after the messenger left, he looked at Klein next to him and said, "Klein, do you want to go and see Bornova together?"
"Bornova?" Klein was stunned for a moment, obviously not remembering who this was immediately, but his memory wasn't fake. He quickly found the corresponding clues from the nooks and crannies of the memory palace, and said somewhat subtly, "Roselle's... youngest son?"
"Yes, it's him." Lin Ruo nodded, his smile suddenly becoming subtle, and said, "He is now an angel of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery, probably at the Sequence 2 level... According to seniority, shouldn't he be our fourth nephew?"
This fourth nephew is naturally ranked starting from Adam and Amon. Roselle's eldest son, Ciel, is the third nephew, and Bornova is naturally the fourth.
Speaking of which, among the Emperor's family, except for the Emperor's wife, it seems that Ciel is the most miserable. Among the others, Huang Beibei has become Queen Mystic, currently at Sequence 3, and there is not much problem in advancing to Sequence 2 in the future. Bornova is already at Sequence 2. Although Steam is immortal or advancing to Outer Deities has no room for improvement, it is still very good. Emperor Roselle himself, although suspected of being corrupted, is a proper Sequence 0 after all, so he can't be said to be bad in any way.
Only Ciel, even his descendants have declined, even losing the face of the Emperor's family!
"Tsk." Thinking of this, Lin Ruo's smile couldn't help but become more subtle.
"Fourth nephew? What are you ranking by?" Klein first complained, then his expression became confused, "Didn't Roselle only have two sons?"
He could of course see that Lin Ruo was teasing him based on the principle of being of the same generation as the transmigrators.
"Yes, he only has two sons, but that doesn't mean that other transmigrators don't have children." Lin Ruo smiled meaningfully and said, "Do you remember what I first told you, there are far more than just the two of us transmigrators in this world."
Klein was stunned for a moment. Although his eyes widened slightly, he obviously realized something and asked, "Do you know other transmigrators besides the three of us?"
Although Lin Ruo had initially said such a thing to him, because Roselle's sense of existence was too strong, and he hadn't seen any clues about other transmigrators, Lin Ruo hadn't mentioned it again after that, and Klein had really neglected this point.
"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, that Creator of City of Silver, the Ancient Sun God, may also be a transmigrator." Lin Ruo said with a smile. Although the Ancient Sun God may strictly be considered an Outer Deity remnant, different from the "transmigrators" dropped by the Sefirah Castle, Lin Ruo was still not guilty at all in classifying Him as a transmigrator.
After a pause, he added, "Besides Him, there should be another one... but that one cannot be spoken of."
"Cannot be spoken of?" Klein looked at Lin Ruo in confusion.
"Yes, because it's a secret, so it cannot be spoken of." Lin Ruo blinked, ruthlessly revealing the secrets of the Ancient Sun God and the Evernight Goddess.
Anyway, it was just an internal exchange with Klein. Giving some hints earlier would save people from being frightened by a sudden reveal in the future.
"Secret?" Klein frowned slightly, obviously falling into thought. However, he, who didn't know much about authority, obviously didn't think that the secret Lin Ruo was talking about was a secret in the literal sense, a secret that controlled the authority of Concealment. In the ears of those who knew the ropes, it was almost naming names. He only took it as an adjective, similar to secret or something.
"Alright, don't think about this for now. It's not too late to think about the other transmigrators later. Let's go back to the question just now, do you want to go and see Bornova with me?" Lin Ruo pulled the straying topic back.
"Yes." Klein nodded without hesitation. He was of course also curious about Emperor Roselle's child, a transmigrator senior, and naturally wanted to see him if he could.
He then asked curiously, "Lin Ruo, do you have something to do seeing Bornova?"
"There are some questions I want to ask him, mainly related to my past." Lin Ruo didn't plan to hide anything and answered casually, then muttered a sentence and switched to the Traveler state, grabbed Klein's shoulder, and used Travel.
In just one or two seconds, they had already arrived outside the St. Samuel Cathedral.
Lin Ruo led Klein familiarly into the cathedral and came to the door of St. Anthony's study.
"Knock knock knock — —"
After politely knocking on the door, St. Anthony's voice came from inside the study.
"Come in."
"Excuse me." Lin Ruo opened the door neatly, and his gaze fell on the figure in the room who was leaning against the window sill, looking down, and playing with a palm-sized metal doll.
That was a man with long chestnut hair, a tall figure, and a very young appearance. At the same time Lin Ruo opened the door, the man raised his head, and after his azure blue eyes reflected the former's figure, a look of surprise almost immediately appeared on his handsome face.
"Long time no see, Uncle Lin Ruo."
He put the doll in his hand on the table next to him while saying this.
