After sending Sharron and Maric, along with their spoils, to one of their safe houses, Lin Ruo took Klein back to his own office.
—Not back to Sherlock's office, mainly because they had just experienced a battle and were carrying a brand-new marionette. Going back like that might scare Benson and Melissa.
"With this Unshadowed Crucifix, plus the 'Crown of Life,' I can start preparing for my rebirth."
Lin Ruo placed the metal box containing the Unshadowed Crucifix on the table, feeling a bright future ahead as he thought of the "Crown of Life" and the Judge potion he had already obtained.
"When are you planning to be reborn?" Hearing Lin Ruo say this, Klein couldn't help but ask.
"Next week, after you get the Black Emperor card… I plan to see Huang Beibei before being reborn."
Lin Ruo decided, not rushing the rebirth, a few days earlier or later wouldn't make much difference.
He also intended to let Medici use the "Crown of Life" before being reborn; what if the Great Mother Goddess wanted him back as soon as he was reborn if he did it too early?
After all, the Crown of Life corresponds to the characteristics of the Life Giver of Sequence 2 of the Moon pathway; even for the Earth Mother, it is a relatively important Sealed Artifact.
—That's right, the Life Giver of Sequence 2.
Logically speaking, Sealed Artifacts formed from the characteristics of adjacent pathways like this should have been crushed into characteristics long ago, concocted into potions, and used as advancement resources for the higher-ups of the Church of the Earth Mother.
The reason why the Crown of Life was not crushed is because this characteristic came from an angel deeply influenced by the Mother Goddess of Depravity.
It was like the werewolf characteristic Klein obtained in the original story, even more severe; even crushing it would not completely remove the influence of the Mother Goddess of Depravity contained within the characteristic.
Basically, whoever uses this thing to concoct a potion and drinks it will be the next Chained God.
Honestly, Lin Ruo was taken aback when he learned this, almost throwing the "Crown of Life" away.
Fortunately, according to the explanation from the high-level courier of the Church of the Earth Mother, this thing had already been processed.
Although it was still extremely treacherous after being concocted into a potion, there was no problem using it as a mystical item for daily use.
Lin Ruo was naturally skeptical when he first heard this, even asking who had processed the "Crown of Life."
As a result, the high-level courier of the Church of the Earth Mother only replied with one sentence:
"The purification of the Crown of Life was completed by the Church's ally, His Highness the Judgement Angel."
Lin Ruo: …
Oh, I purified it?
Then it's okay.
Because of Roselle, who was being fished out, and Mr. Door, who was suspected of being fished out, as examples, Lin Ruo was still confident in his previous handling abilities in this regard.
He even began to suspect that the reason he didn't completely remove the Outer God's corruption from the Crown of Life was purely to freeload this Sealed Artifact today.
"By the way."
Thinking of the Crown of Life and Medici, Lin Ruo looked at Klein again and said, "I plan to use the Crown of Life tomorrow; I'll probably come to you after breakfast in the morning, remember to take it down in advance."
Because the side effects of the Crown of Life are significant, not only will it lead to increased fertility in the surrounding area, directly putting them in a state of 'spring has come,' but carrying it for more than a certain amount of time will also cause physical changes to the carrier, and simultaneously cause changes in the bodies and even spiritual bodies of creatures within a certain area.
Lin Ruo naturally placed this Sealed Artifact above Klein's gray fog.
—To be honest, the Sefirah Castle is really suitable for storing these things.
No matter what Sealed Artifact, it can only be suppressed obediently upon entering the gray fog.
However, short-term carrying and use are still no problem, because along with the Crown of Life came its simple containment device; otherwise, it would have been impossible for the Church of the Earth Mother to send this thing over.
And relative to the strong side effects, is the powerful ability of the Crown of Life.
This is a Sealed Artifact with explosive healing power, far surpassing the Staff of Life that Klein once used in repairing physical damage and changes, and can even repair losses to the spirit body to a certain extent.
Basically, as long as you haven't lost control, it can heal you back.
Even if you're half out of control, as long as you haven't crossed that line, it can pull you back.
It can be said that Lin Ruo will have absolutely no problem using the Crown of Life to repair his physical state after being reborn.
At the same time, largely due to the ability corresponding to the "Creator," this Sealed Artifact also possesses the ability to create people.
The reason why Lin Ruo felt that this Sealed Artifact could solve Medici's physical problems was because it could indeed be used to shape bodies for undead, spirit world beings, evil spirits, etc.
This is not resurrection; after all, undead, evil spirits, or spirit world beings can all be considered alive, just with a different life form from humans.
"Tomorrow morning? Okay, no problem."
Klein nodded, naturally having no objections.
At the same time, he began to set up a ritual, intending to sacrifice the newly acquired marionette "Corpse Collector" Jason to the gray fog for preservation, so that he could use it next time.
Lin Ruo stretched lazily, yawning because his supernatural ability consumption was quite significant and he was already a little tired.
Then, he opened the metal box containing the Unshadowed Crucifix.
Lin Ruo's gaze fell on the bronze-green cross, for the first time seriously examining this cross that was stained with the blood of the City of Silver Creator, which in a sense witnessed history and was an important relic of the City of Silver.
Lin Ruo's fingers gently pressed on the cross.
He touched the thorns on the cross, seeming to feel the heat of that drop of golden blood that had soaked the cross.
Lin Ruo's eyes blurred for a moment, and some memories flashed by.
It seemed like something from a long, long time ago, the memories fragmented and chaotic, carrying some kind of profound madness.
The world was chaotic, incomprehensible, making him unable to recognize it, and the mad thoughts interfered with him, tearing at his consciousness, the memories were fragmented and chaotic, everything seemed to be in chaos.
And then?
Then he saw the light.
Someone slightly smoothed his chaos, slightly suppressed his madness, although it was only a drop in the bucket, it was enough for him to enjoy a moment of peace.
Lin Ruo saw a person.
It was a man, wearing a black clergyman's robe, with a silver cross hanging on his chest.
The man's hair was not long, mainly black, but the roots showed a light yellow-gold color, his eyes were pure gold, his skin was fair, his features were deep, and his eye sockets were sunken, quite similar to the people of the current Northern Continent.
He looked at him, but his golden pupils seemed to see far into the future.
"I should kill you, but fate tells me that this is not the right choice."
"So…"
He reached out to him.
"Child, do you want to come back with me?"
