"In this situation, perhaps letting them become Beyonders is a better choice."
Hearing Lin Ruo's words, Klein felt a sudden rush of emotions.
If someone else had said this to him, saying that the world was about to descend into chaos and war was imminent, Klein would definitely not have believed it, as there seemed to be no signs of it at all. But Lin Ruo was different; Klein knew that Lin Ruo wouldn't, and had no need to, lie to him about such a thing.
If war really was coming… Klein's mind flashed back to the horrific scenes of ordinary people in war from movies and TV shows he had seen, and his breathing hitched slightly.
After a long silence, Klein finally said: "You're right…"
If war really was coming, and the world was really about to become unstable, then letting Benson and Melissa become low-sequence Beyonders would indeed be a very good choice.
In chaotic times, Beyonders are always safer than ordinary people.
Klein also knew that he couldn't always protect Benson and Melissa. In this situation, giving them the power to protect themselves was better than regretting it when something happened.
"However… this still needs to be discussed with them to get their own opinions." Klein added. Although he agreed with Lin Ruo's suggestion in his heart, whether or not to become Beyonders ultimately depended on Benson and Melissa's own thoughts.
"Of course." Lin Ruo nodded, took another bite of the apple, and said: "For initial sequences, the Sequence 9 formulas I currently have on hand are Seer, Hunter, Spectator, Monster, Apothecary, and Bard. Getting the Reader potion wouldn't be a big problem. If you need the Sleepless potion, I can also apply to the Church. Marauder isn't a big problem either, but I don't recommend it. If you really need other Sequence 9 formulas, I can get them too."
"Among these potions, I have the most complete Hunter and Seer pathways, followed by Spectator and Sun pathways. If Benson and Melissa choose to become Beyonders, you can let them choose from these pathways."
The Scholar of Yore potion can be obtained from Bornova, and the Marauder potion can naturally be obtained by asking Old Man Pallez.
For Lin Ruo, Sequence 9 potions really weren't difficult to obtain. Besides the ones he mentioned above, other Sequence 9 potions like Corpse Collector or Seer, if he really needed them, Lin Ruo wouldn't have much trouble getting them. After all, Lin Ruo had many channels, whether it was through the Evernight Church, the Aurora Order, or trading with Vice Admiral Iceberg, Admiral of Stars, and others, getting Sequence 9 potions was very simple.
Sequence 9 potions might be precious to ordinary people, but to him, they really weren't anything special, at most requiring a little effort.
Hearing this, even Klein, who had long known that Lin Ruo was knowledgeable and knew a lot, couldn't help but look at Lin Ruo a few more times.
Lin Ruo's words were no different from saying that he could choose from any of the 22 pathways.
Klein couldn't help but think of his own situation when he chose his pathway. Although it was much better than being a wild Beyonder, it naturally couldn't compare to the stance of being able to choose from any of the 22 pathways.
However, Klein didn't feel any resentment or jealousy because of this. After all, he knew that he and Lin Ruo weren't too familiar back then, and the latter certainly wouldn't let him choose from any of the 22 pathways. Moreover, Seer was already a good choice, and perhaps even a necessary choice considering the existence of the Gray Fog.
Now that Benson and Melissa could have more choices, it was actually something Klein was happy to see. And Klein knew very well that Lin Ruo was willing to give Benson and Melissa such a choice entirely because of his face, so there was even less to say.
Lin Ruo casually threw the apple core left over from eating the fruit into the trash can, put one hand on Klein's shoulder, and said: "But you still have to pay for it, old rules, I'll give you a 50% discount, am I generous?"
"Generous." Klein wasn't surprised to hear this, he didn't intend to let Lin Ruo pay for it in the first place, he just asked: "How should I introduce you to them then?"
"How else can you introduce me, just as your teacher!" Lin Ruo smiled and said: "Well, you can also tell them that I am a Blessed of the Goddess, so they will know that you have a big shot in the Church backing you up and they can feel more at ease."
Klein nodded thoughtfully.
Lin Ruo glanced at the clock, the time on it was already close to three o'clock, he immediately looked at Klein, and said with a smile: "It's almost time for this Tarot Gathering, Mr. World, I'm really looking forward to you becoming the brightest star of this Tarot Gathering!"
Hearing this, Klein's mouth twitched, and he said: "I suddenly regret agreeing to your announcement of the World's identity…"
The announcement of the World's identity naturally referred to the identity of the World as a Blessed of the Fool.
Klein originally planned to give the World the identity of a Blessed but not announce it, letting the members of the Tarot Club guess it themselves.
But he couldn't stand Lin Ruo's constant urging him to directly reveal his big account and officially define the identity of the small account as a Blessed, and he even cited a lot of benefits of doing so. After being urged too much, Klein agreed on impulse.
"Sorry, I've already pressed the regret button." Lin Ruo said confidently, patted Klein on the shoulder, and sat back on the sofa.
Klein just said that, naturally he didn't really want to regret it. He also glanced at the clock, waited for a while, and then went to the Gray Fog in advance to prepare.
Soon, the hour hand reached the position of three o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Ruo closed and opened his eyes, and what he saw in front of him was once again the familiar bronze long table, the familiar gray fog hall.
One figure after another appeared almost at the same time as him, followed by Miss Justice, the number one rich woman of the Tarot Club, cheerful greeting:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool～"
"Hmm?" The greeting suddenly stopped, Justice Audrey looked in surprise at the direction where the World was, it was a stranger wearing a black robe with a hood.
New member? The Tarot Club has a new member again?
Justice Audrey was both happy and surprised. She was happy because Justice had always hoped that the Tarot Club would grow stronger, so she naturally welcomed the addition of new members. She was surprised because the Tarot Club had just had Miss Magician Fors join last week, and she originally thought that there wouldn't be a new member so soon.
Could it be, could it be that our Tarot Club is going to develop and grow rapidly next?
Justice Audrey thought with some anticipation.
Alger, the Hanged Man opposite her, frowned imperceptibly. As the number one palace scheming master of the Tarot Club, Alger's idea at this time was probably—another enchanting bitch is going to compete with me for status in the Tarot Club.
"Knock knock—"
Just when the members of the Tarot Club had different ideas because of the addition of new members, they heard Mr. Fool at the head of the bronze long table gently tap the table.
In an instant, all the members of the Tarot Club restrained their thoughts and looked at Mr. Fool, waiting for the latter to speak.
"This is a new member, Mr. World, my Blessed."
