"What, you have a way?"
Hearing this, Lin Ruo naturally saw Medici's attitude, and he was not surprised by it at all.
After all, this was Medici, the proud War Angel, how could he be willing to remain a malevolent spirit forever?
This wasn't a good thing.
"I'm not sure if it will work. Perhaps you'll have to be the one to judge." Lin Ruo said, picking up the metal box containing the life scepter and handing it to him.
Medici took the box, opened it, and then pulled out the life scepter from a black handkerchief. He examined the Sealed Artifact, and after a moment, looked at Lin Ruo and asked, "Where did you get this?"
"I borrowed it from Earth Mother." Lin Ruo didn't hide this either, saying leisurely, "After all, I'm changing my pathway, so I have to solve the problems with my body, right… After borrowing it, I found that this thing might be useful to you, so I called you here!"
Of course, he could have said something else, pretending he had deliberately borrowed the life scepter for Medici, but Lin Ruo felt there was no need. Besides, Medici wasn't stupid; rather than lying to deliberately curry favor, it was better to tell the truth.
"Tsk… Earth Mother, I didn't know when you became so close to her." Medici clicked his tongue, his tone still Yin and Yang. His hand held the life scepter, his gaze fixed on it, yet it was slightly complex.
Huh? Lin Ruo was slightly stunned. He naturally understood the meaning of Medici's words.
Could it be that my familiarity with Earth Mother happened after Medici was stewed?
Lin Ruo wasn't too sure. After all, underneath Earth Mother's disguise was Lilith, and it was possible he had already become familiar with her, but Medici didn't know about it.
But this wasn't too important anyway.
Lin Ruo picked up his teacup again, took a sip, and said, "Just tell me if this thing can help you get rid of your malevolent spirit state and regain your body."
Medici didn't answer immediately this time. He was probably thinking. A few seconds later, he nodded and said, "It can, but there's still one problem."
"Hmm?" Lin Ruo looked at him in confusion, only to see two mouths suddenly split open on Medici's left and right cheeks. However, before these two mouths could say anything, Medici raised his hand and rubbed them back into place.
"Lin Ruo, did you forget the existence of those two useless fellows, Sauron and Einhorn?" Medici lowered his raised hand, his tone mocking and helpless. "Although these two useless fellows can't interfere with me much, I don't want to regain a body only to have to endure their incessant chatter."
Lin Ruo: …
Oh right, he forgot, Medici was a three-in-one.
To "resurrect" Medici, they would have to be separated first!
But who could do such a thing… A name suddenly popped into Lin Ruo's mind, which made him frown slightly, then relax, saying, "Then let Adam separate you all."
"He can do it."
Lin Ruo looked up at Medici, his gaze complex yet firm as he said:
"This is what he owes you."
This is what the divine Adam owes Medici.
Medici's millennia of loyalty shouldn't only be repaid with a phrase like "this is a necessary sacrifice."
Lin Ruo's words were not just out of pique. Although he wasn't fond of Adam, he and Adam had clearly made a deal, and coupled with Medici's own identity, it wasn't impossible to get him to act.
Medici was stunned, his expression momentarily clouded, not directed at Lin Ruo, but remembering the hunt in the fourth epoch.
He slowly exhaled and said, "Lin Ruo, have less to do with that fanatic. His mind is no longer very normal for the sake of resurrecting the main brain… I don't know if you two have some kind of deal, but with your current state, you can't outplay him."
"I know." Lin Ruo merely nodded calmly at this. In his current state, he certainly couldn't outplay Adam, as the difference in ability was too great, and he didn't deny this point.
However… who could say what would happen in the future?
Lin Ruo looked at Medici again and said, "I still stand by what I said: this is what he owes you… I can talk to him. I also have many questions."
For example, what exactly was the deal between them?
Lin Ruo actually didn't mind meeting Adam. Anyway, he didn't know how long he had been watched in Tingen, so what was the harm in meeting him now?
"Oh, come on, you're just a rookie now, are you going to deliver yourself as food by meeting him?" Medici glanced at him, surprisingly mocking him. While playing with the life scepter in his hand, he crossed his legs and said, "Since it's my business, of course I'll solve it myself."
"I also have many questions I want to ask him."
When Medici said this, the aura around him became extremely dangerous for a moment.
Lin Ruo looked at him, his gaze slightly complex. After a moment, he pursed his lips and said, "Medici, are you still loyal to Creator?"
"Your question makes me think your brain is broken." Medici glanced at Lin Ruo, but then, thinking of something, his smile became unrestrained.
"I know you don't admit that the True Creator is Creator, but I always believe that Creator will one day recover, and his current state is only temporary. As for you, Lin Ruo, when Creator settles the score with you for all those years you've been messing around outside, I won't plead for you."
Lin Ruo fell silent upon hearing this. He looked at Medici, whose smile grew increasingly wild and unrestrained as they discussed Creator. At this moment, he almost clearly perceived the position of Creator in Medici's heart.
Isn't it interesting? He was clearly a natural mythical creature, inherently supposed to have thin humanity, yet Medici was incredibly vibrant, even offering his complete loyalty to another.
However, such loyalty ultimately… Lin Ruo suddenly felt like laughing, yet couldn't. In the end, he merely twitched the corner of his mouth and swallowed the words that had been in his throat.
He wanted to ask: If your Creator abandoned you, would you still be loyal to him?
He said, "If that day truly comes, then let the punishment come. But don't worry, I'll definitely drag you along to be punished with me, after all, good friends share blessings and misfortunes!"
"Tsk." Medici clicked his tongue, clearly speechless at Lin Ruo's behavior of bringing someone down with him even in his own demise.
"By the way, I plan to change my pathway this week. Remember to come and help when the time comes. I'll most likely be unable to use the life scepter after returning to being an ordinary person, so I'll need a tool-person." Lin Ruo said this, lowering his eyes and taking another sip of tea.
Lin Ruo then gave Medici a firm look and said, "After all, besides you, I can't trust anyone else, so you're the most suitable person to be this tool-person."
"So I'm supposed to thank you for your trust?" Medici said grumpily, but his hands were already wrapping the life scepter back in the handkerchief and stuffing it into the metal box. He casually pushed the box towards Lin Ruo and said, "You keep this for now. When I need it, I'll come find you."
"Alright." Lin Ruo nodded, then picked up the teapot on the table and poured Medici a cup, saying, "Want some tea?"
"Anything else?" Medici took the teacup Lin Ruo handed him, his attitude practically screaming: You're being overly solicitous for no reason; you must be up to no good.
"Nothing much, mainly wanted to ask you something. Did I used to have a hobby of creating mystical items?"
Lin Ruo asked this, all complex emotions suppressed deep within his heart after this cup of tea.
Perhaps it would be better for Medici to discover the truth about Adam himself.
Or perhaps, it would be best if it was never discovered.
