After seeing Medici off, who was clearly still itching to beat Klein for a while longer, Lin Ruo immediately took Klein back to the safe house.
He then switched to the Moon pathway and began healing Klein's injuries, all while teasing him, "It's a good thing I'm here as your healer, otherwise our esteemed Mr. Fool would have to attend the meeting on the Gray Fog with a huge pig's head.
Tsk, don't tell me it's not something to look forward to…"
Hearing Lin Ruo's teasing, Klein's mouth twitched.
He retorted in annoyance, "Did you forget? I'm a Faceless."
Not to mention his Face wasn't swollen like a pig's head at all; he had only taken a couple of accidental hits and had some bruises.
Even if it had reached that point, he could manually reshape his Face.
Wait, I almost got sidetracked… Klein suddenly remembered that he ascended to the Gray Fog as a Spirit Body and wouldn't be affected by normal physical injuries.
Lin Ruo had already smiled and withdrawn his hand, having completed Klein's treatment.
He then sat on the sofa opposite Klein, pouring himself a cup of tea, and said, "Once the matters of the Sea God Sect are initially dealt with, I'm going to retrieve Roselle.
By then, your days of suffering will also end, and you won't have to get beaten every day; you can roam freely.
Oh, have you decided on your initial hunting target?"
Medici certainly didn't have that much time to instruct Klein, as He was genuinely very busy, and the time He squeezed out was all for Lin Ruo's Face.
Moreover, when it came to combat techniques, there were only a few aspects that could be significantly improved in a short period, such as quick reactions in dangerous situations, or correcting existing flaws and weaknesses in combat.
Aside from these, many things in the Domain of combat truly couldn't be mastered in a day or two; they required the individual's accumulation of insights from years of combat experience, and this part would have to be slowly comprehended by Klein himself in the future.
Therefore, Medici's intensive tutoring session was only planned for half a month.
Once the matters of the Sea God Sect and the Rebel Army were initially resolved, He would focus on dealing with the Numinous Episcopate.
Lin Ruo would also begin his journey through historical illusions then.
"I plan to team up with Cattleya to hunt the Admiral of Blood," Klein replied, also pouring himself a cup of tea and downing it in one gulp.
Although, theoretically, with the sea god scepter, Klein alone could deal with the Admiral of Blood and his crew at sea, the sea god scepter was a strategic weapon, and Klein didn't intend to use it casually.
This also didn't align with his original intention of acting as Gehrman, digesting the potion, and training himself.
And without using the sea god scepter, Klein clearly needed a collaborator to hunt the Admiral of Blood.
"Cattleya, huh…" Lin Ruo's hand, holding the cup, paused, and his expression became a little strange.
The reason for his reaction was simple: according to the original timeline, Cattleya was supposed to join the Tarot Club this week because she couldn't stand the Hidden Sage's incessant nagging.
However, considering the butterfly effect he might have caused, Lin Ruo was truly uncertain whether Cattleya would still join the Tarot Club for this reason.
So, should he give her a push?
Lin Ruo thought seriously.
The "push" he referred to, of course, didn't mean subjecting Cattleya to the Hidden Sage's persecution, but rather writing to Bernadette in his own name to facilitate Cattleya's joining the Tarot Club.
Although Beibei didn't even know of The Fool's existence… Lin Ruo stroked his nose, then decided to wait until this week passed to see if Cattleya joined the Tarot Club as in the original story.
If she did, there would naturally be no need for him to do anything.
If not, Lin Ruo still planned to give Cattleya a push after obtaining Klein's consent.
Of course, The Fool's identity must definitely not be revealed to Bernadette; it wasn't that he didn't trust Her, but mainly because he was afraid of future awkwardness when they met.
Thinking this, Lin Ruo silently sipped his tea and quietly waited until the Tarot Club began.
With a familiar sense of disorientation, Lin Ruo opened his eyes on the Gray Fog, and a girl's cheerful greeting rang in his ears:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~"
Justice Audrey, having completed her usual greeting, swept her gaze and landed on the Chariot diagonally opposite, immediately letting out a slight sigh of relief.
As someone who had received much care from the Chariot, Justice Audrey was naturally worried when Mr. Chariot suddenly took leave last week, wondering if something had happened to him.
Now seeing the Chariot appear safe and sound, and not looking like he had encountered anything bad, Justice Audrey was naturally much more at ease.
Chariot is indeed fine.
I wonder if the Sea God Sect incident is related to him… The Hanged Man Alger also noticed the Chariot beside him immediately, and his mind instantly thought of the latest intelligence regarding the Sea God Sect, his gaze towards Lin Ruo carrying a hint of scrutiny.
This was not a baseless association, as the Chariot had once mentioned at the previous Tarot Club that he was about to travel to the Five Seas and had even purchased the latest intelligence on the Five Seas from him.
As a result, just a few days later, the Sea God Sect, which had always been uneventful, experienced a situation: the statue strangely shattered and was then reforged by Sea God Sect followers, and The Hanged Man Alger also received orders from above to pay attention to recent anomalies in the archipelago waters.
The Hanged Man Alger was undoubtedly a smart person, and precisely because he was a smart person, all these pieces of information made him associate more, and pay more attention to this matter.
Oh, Your Excellency Blessed is attending the meeting normally this time.
I wonder what he was busy with last week… Star Leonard also noticed Lin Ruo beside him, but unlike the others, he didn't think too much into it; he simply assumed Lin Ruo was delayed by something last week.
Compared to Star's calmness, Little Sun Derrick, after seeing Lin Ruo, first breathed a sigh of relief, a reaction identical to Justice Audrey's.
Then, as if remembering something, after Young Miss Justice led them in a collective bow to Mr. Fool, Little Sun Derrick almost impatiently looked at Lin Ruo and said, "Mr. Chariot, His Highness Dark Angel said He has finished reading the materials on His side and hopes His Highness Angel of Judgment can provide the next batch of materials."
"Oh? Alright, I will inform His Highness Angel of Judgment.
The materials will be given to you later," Lin Ruo paused for a moment, then nodded.
The materials mentioned here naturally referred to the information Lin Ruo provided to Sasrir so that He could quickly understand the current situation of the world.
However, the situation of a world, including thousands of years of history and changes, naturally couldn't be described in just a few batches of materials.
Therefore, Lin Ruo had only sent a portion of the materials to Sasrir before, and now it was clear that He had finished reading and thoroughly understood those materials, thus needing the next part.
Lin Ruo naturally welcomed this with open arms; he wished Sasrir would adapt to the era and start working as quickly as possible.
Oh, right… Lin Ruo remembered something and looked at Little Sun Derrick, saying, "Has His Highness Dark Angel visited your City of Silver?"
