Sharron and Maric left; they were going to act as bait to lure the enemy here.
After watching them leave, Lin Ruo immediately looked at Klein and said, "You wait here. I'll go pick up Mr. Azik."
Lin Ruo didn't hide the matter of calling Mr. Azik over to hold the line from Klein. After all, the other party knew he wasn't in good condition and couldn't compare to a proper angel. It was perfectly normal to call for backup when hunting a demigod, provided the conditions allowed it.
"Mm." Klein naturally had no objections. Lin Ruo used Travel to disappear from the spot, only to reappear a minute or two later, with an additional person by his side.
"Good evening, Mr. Azik." Klein, who hadn't seen Mr. Azik for some time, immediately greeted him, feeling a bit better at seeing a familiar face.
"Good evening, Klein. I've read the letter you wrote to me last time. Could you show me the bronze whistle you mentioned?" Mr. Azik said with a gentle smile.
Although he and Klein hadn't met during this period, their correspondence had never stopped.
The bronze whistle Mr. Azik mentioned was an extra gain from a commission Klein received from a jeweler a while ago.
The jeweler's son, seeking trouble, followed a terrible teacher to learn Spirit Dance with a few classmates, which led to real problems. Fortunately, the problem wasn't big. Klein not only successfully resolved it but also followed the clues to find the culprit, obtaining this bronze whistle from that terrible teacher.
A bronze whistle suspected to be related to the Numinous Episcopate and the Death pathway.
Because Lin Ruo, Klein's legitimate teacher, had already gone into the historical illusion at that time, and this bronze whistle was clearly related to the Death pathway, Klein naturally wrote to inform the other party about it.
"Of course." Klein nodded, then pulled the mysterious bronze whistle from his pocket. Since he knew Azik would be coming, he, who usually kept this bronze whistle Above the Grey Mist, had naturally taken it out early today.
Azik took the bronze whistle and examined it carefully. His brow furrowed noticeably. After a moment, he rubbed his glabella and returned the bronze whistle to Klein, saying, "I don't recognize this bronze whistle… but I can feel the evil aura and dangerous omens on it. Its owner might be in some strange and terrifying state."
"In short, you'd best not blow this bronze whistle, nor should you touch the messenger it summons. This could very likely bring danger," Mr. Azik warned.
Klein nodded, immediately deciding to sacrifice this bronze whistle back Above the Grey Mist later.
He thought of something else and looked at Lin Ruo beside him, asking, "Lin Ruo, do you recognize this bronze whistle?"
"You finally remembered me? I thought you had forgotten me, your teacher," Lin Ruo raised an eyebrow, saying with a hint of teasing.
"Uh…" Klein felt a bit awkward. He hadn't forgotten, it was just that Lin Ruo wasn't around when he first wanted to ask, and later he had already written to Mr. Azik, so Klein naturally didn't plan to bother Lin Ruo again.
Hmm, he definitely wasn't afraid that if he asked, Lin Ruo would conveniently hand him a brick-thick book and tell him to memorize it.
"Alright, let me see it." After Lin Ruo finished speaking, he took the Numinous Episcopate bronze whistle from Klein's hand. He pretended to observe it for a while, then returned the bronze whistle to Klein, saying, "This bronze whistle should be related to the Numinous Episcopate' Artificial Death. If it's shattered, it might attract some strange things. I suspect the Numinous Episcopate' Artificial Death plan has already yielded some results… not good results."
Klein and Azik both frowned.
After all, the Numinous Episcopate' Artificial Death plan yielding bad results didn't sound good no matter how you heard it.
If anyone else said this, they might not believe it, but both Klein and Azik naturally believed Lin Ruo's words.
Lin Ruo then thought of Medici, who was currently mingling with the Numinous Episcopate, and said to Azik, "I still have some connections within the Numinous Episcopate. If you want to know about these things, I can try. I'll write to you if I get any news… However, regarding the Artificial Death, you don't need to worry too much. The probability of them truly succeeding should be small."
After all, with the Goddess watching like a tiger, even if the Numinous Episcopate wanted to do something big with the Death uniqueness, they would have to see if the Goddess agreed.
That was the ruthless one who had achieved the full set of Demonic Wolf family, participated in the Rose Redemption, made Amon and Adam wary, began plotting with Lilith years ago, waited to be stabbed by the God of Combat, and was now nurturing the Lord of the Mysteries.
Leaving aside the original plot, just based on the many known pieces of information now, if you were to say the Goddess had no plans for the Death uniqueness, Lin Ruo would be the first not to believe it.
"Thank you," Mr. Azik said in a low voice, indeed wanting to understand the Numinous Episcopate' Artificial Death plan.
Although not much of his memory had recovered, Mr. Azik's intuition told him that it might be related to him.
"No need to be polite, didn't you also never refuse when I asked for your help? Helping you is what I should do." Lin Ruo waved his hand, saying with a smile.
Friendship, after all, naturally grew in such situations of mutual help. Lin Ruo, being an old socialite, how could he not understand this principle?
And… Lin Ruo thought of the express delivery he had just received yesterday from the Church of the Earth Mother, and he also let out a slight sigh of relief.
He also wanted to meet Medici to see if he could use the life scepter to create a usable body for him.
How could he always be an evil spirit!
For Medici, this useful tool… bah, let me rephrase.
For Medici, this old friend he had known for countless years, even without memories, he still couldn't treat him as a stranger, and after several encounters, they had grown familiar. Lin Ruo was still worried about him.
After all, besides him, no one else would worry about Xiao Hong—who made Medici a qualified hunter with only a few friends in the whole world!
Lin Ruo thought for a while, and couldn't even think of anyone else in Medici's friends list besides him and Ouroboros.
Amon? That mischievous child had already sold out Medici once in the original novel.
So, this is the consequence of not making friends properly… Lin Ruo sighed inwardly, feigning sadness, and barely managed to suppress his laughter.
The three then chatted for a few more sentences. Because Klein still had some combat arrangements to make, they ended the conversation early.
By the time Klein finished his arrangements, it was almost time. Before the enemy arrived, all three of them had hidden themselves.
Among them, Lin Ruo naturally activated his stealth state, waiting for the coming surprise attack. Azik hid in the Spirit Realm corresponding to this area, while Klein, of course, just found a warehouse to hide in.
Soon, Maric, who had lured the enemy, appeared in Lin Ruo's line of sight, with two other figures following behind him.
