"Klein, do you want to know why? This is my biggest secret."
Hearing Lin Ruo's words, Klein hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "I do."
Firstly, he was genuinely curious, and secondly, Lin Ruo's attitude made it clear that he wanted to tell him about it, so Klein was naturally happy to go along with it.
"Want to know, huh..." Lin Ruo drawled, then suddenly patted Klein on the head without warning, and said, "Wait—I'll tell you when we get back."
While he was being frank, there were some things Lin Ruo didn't plan to say inside the Church of the Earth Mother. After all, Lilith might be watching, so it would be safer to wait until they got back.
Klein was stunned by the pat, but since it wasn't the first time he'd been treated like a cat, he wasn't angry. He just glared at Lin Ruo, but he also understood why the other party didn't want to say it here.
After all, since Lin Ruo had said it was his biggest secret, and this was the Church of the Earth Mother, saying it here would be like revealing the secret to the Earth Mother. No matter how carefree Lin Ruo was, he couldn't do that.
"Let's go, go ask Father Utravsky if he needs your help. He is a Blessed of the Earth Mother, and you may have many opportunities to deal with him in the future." Having finished packing, Lin Ruo didn't mind Klein's small actions, and walked out while speaking.
After contacting Father Utravsky, Lin Ruo had confirmed that the other party was indeed a Blessed of the Earth Mother.
"A Blessed of the Earth Mother?" Klein was obviously a little surprised. He suddenly remembered the "approachable" response of the Earth Mother after Lin Ruo had set up the ritual magic, and his expression became a little strange. He couldn't help but ask, "Lin Ruo, you and the Earth Mother..."
Anyone who saw the interaction between Lin Ruo and the Earth Mother just now wouldn't think that the two had nothing to do with each other.
"I don't know, maybe we were friends before? You know, I know a lot of people, and they are happy to help me." Lin Ruo shrugged, then smiled and said, "Maybe if I set up another ritual now and ask, I can get another Blessed status."
As for what kind of price he would have to pay for these friends' gifts in the future—he would leave that for the future him to worry about!
Lin Ruo was very open-minded about this.
Hearing this, Klein thought for a moment and surprisingly found it hard to disagree.
The status of a Blessed of the gods, which was very valuable to others, was practically like wholesale for Lin Ruo.
Klein suddenly thought of something and said with a strange expression, "You have too many friends..."
Klein recalled that, based on the information he had learned during this period, Lin Ruo's friends included Mr. Azik of the Amnesia Alliance, the angel Pallez Zoroast who parasitized Leonard, Miss Sharron's teacher Reinette Tinekerr, Medici who used to be the Angel of War, Mr. Door who was missing and suspected of being exiled, Roselle who was somewhere and definitely not dead...
And that's not all, because strictly speaking, the Evernight Goddess, the True Creator, and the Earth Mother have all been confirmed to have an extraordinary relationship with Lin Ruo. According to Emperor Roselle's diary, Lin Ruo seemed to have some connection with the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery, and maybe he even knew the God of Steam and Machinery.
The aforementioned big shots numbered in the double digits, and in terms of quality, each of them was at least a demigod, with angels being commonplace and True Gods at the top. Moreover, they covered multiple large forces, from orthodox churches to top-tier secret organizations, everything.
"Your interpersonal skills must be maxed out." Klein was shocked when he counted them. He looked at Lin Ruo as if he was looking at the embodiment of a social butterfly.
"There's no way around it, who told me to be so nice? Of course, nice people have many friends!" Lin Ruo said as a matter of course, without the slightest embarrassment.
In fact, he really didn't have any embarrassing emotions. After all, other things aside, Lin Ruo was very confident in making friends.
In terms of interpersonal skills, ten Medici wouldn't be enough for him to beat.
Lin Ruo glanced at Klein again and said meaningfully, "In fact, it's a good thing for you that I have many friends, because these people can also be your friends. Klein, don't forget that for high-sequence Seers, friends are power."
"En..." Klein was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the abilities of Scholars of Yore that Lin Ruo had introduced, and nodded in agreement, "You're right."
Scholars of Yore can pull historical phantoms of acquaintances to fight, so aren't friends power!
An Scholar of Yore with many friends and proficient in human nature...Pooh, proficient in interpersonal communication, might be able to pull out the historical projections of three Sequence 1 angel big shots with a backhand.
And a lonely Scholar of Yore, like a volunteer, might not even be able to pull out a historical projection of the same rank Sequence 3.
The gap between the two is no exaggeration to say that it is the difference between worlds.
Klein naturally didn't want to become the latter, and with Lin Ruo as a teacher with friends all over the world, it would be a waste not to take advantage of the advantage.
The two returned to the church hall talking and laughing, while Father Utravsky was sitting in the first row of seats in the church, praying with his eyes closed.
He opened his eyes again, his light blue eyes looked at Lin Ruo, and he smiled gently, "It seems that you have received the guidance of the Mother."
Lin Ruo smiled, noncommittally.
At this time, Klein greeted him and asked politely, "Father Utravsky, I heard that you have some troubles."
Utravsky was silent for a few seconds and said:
"Yes, I am indeed troubled by something, and I even have a commission for it."
"Maybe I can help a little?" Klein continued.
Father Utravsky looked him up and down for a few seconds. Although he didn't show any disgust in his eyes, he obviously didn't think Klein could solve his problem. However, before Father Utravsky could speak, Lin Ruo said leisurely:
"Father Utravsky, Sherlock is a very excellent Beyonder. He does have the ability to solve your problem. I think you can consider it carefully."
Although the identity of the Earth Mother's Blessed has not been confirmed, Lin Ruo's words obviously still carry a lot of weight here for Father Utravsky. After all, this is someone who has been named by the Mother God in a divine oracle, and it has even been confirmed that he can get the Mother God's response after setting up a ritual.
So after hearing Lin Ruo's words, Father Utravsky thought for two seconds, and then said to Klein: "You can listen to the content of my commission before making a decision."
It's not that Father Utravsky doesn't believe Lin Ruo's words, it's just that as a person with excellent character, Father Utravsky doesn't allow himself to not explain the specific content of the commission to others, and then let people accept the commission. This is irresponsible to other people's lives.
"Please speak." Klein politely waited for the other party to speak.
"The content of my commission is... kill me."
