Controlling the coordinates of such a primeval island, it seems The Hanged Man also has many secrets; he's not as simple as just a Church of the Lord of Storms member…
Witnessing the completion of the transaction, and incidentally becoming the biggest winner by obtaining both the Ocean Songster potion formula and the primeval island coordinates, Fool Klein thought silently, while a thought released the sensory shield on others.
He wasn't curious about who Lin Ruo would bring to explore the island, because Fool Klein was 100% certain that person would be himself.
He's just that confident (not really).
However, looking at Lin Ruo, why do I feel like he already knew The Hanged Man had the coordinates to such an island…
Fool Klein muttered in his heart. Others might not notice, as Lin Ruo's acting was truly flawless. But Klein and Lin Ruo were so familiar with each other that Klein could, to a certain extent, ignore Lin Ruo's acting and see through the facade to the essence, naturally not failing to notice anything.
However, considering that The Hanged Man had just said that the coordinates of this primeval island were discovered by him and Vice Admiral Hurricane together, and Vice Admiral Hurricane had died at Lin Ruo's hands, Klein didn't feel too surprised.
Perhaps Lin Ruo had obtained some information from Vice Admiral Hurricane beforehand.
Thinking this, Fool Klein was actually quite looking forward to the future journey to the primeval island, after all, the value of such an undeveloped island was completely imaginable.
Perhaps then my finances won't be as tight as they are now… Fool Klein thought, suddenly feeling the urge to sigh.
Because he was truly short on money. Although he already had the main ingredients for advancing to Sequence 5, and the formula should also be available when Rosago's spirit is released, Klein still had to prepare for his future advancement to Divine Rank.
Although Lin Ruo was generous to him in other areas, when it came to formulas, besides offering a half-price discount, he wouldn't budge a single penny. As he put it, this was a small test from him as a teacher. If he couldn't even gather enough money to buy a half-price formula, then it would be better not to advance to that Sequence.
Klein was frustrated by this, but he didn't feel that Lin Ruo was doing anything wrong. After all, even a teacher doesn't have to spoon-feed a student. Lin Ruo was already very good to him. Although he always "persecuted" him, he was definitely a qualified teacher. Klein wasn't the kind of ungrateful person who would resent Lin Ruo for not giving him the formula directly.
The only problem was probably that the Sequence 4 formula Lin Ruo quoted was 50,000 pounds. In his words, such formulas were usually priceless and hard to come by, already difficult to measure with money. If it were thrown into the black market for 100,000 pounds, there would definitely be a crowd fighting for it. So, this was already a friendly price, young man, you need to work harder!
Oh, by the way, when Lin Ruo said this, he smiled very brightly and gently, the kind of mischievous smile Klein was familiar with.
What could Klein do? He could only start saving money with tears in his eyes, making every penny count, and eagerly anticipating the journey to the Five Seas after the great conspiracy in Backlund was resolved.
No special reason, just wanted to make money.
The members of the Tarot Club naturally had no idea about the recent troubles of their respected and great Mr. Fool. After the transaction between Chariot and The Hanged Man was introduced, Little Sun Derrick looked left and right and saw that no one else seemed particularly eager to speak. He immediately looked at Lin Ruo and Justice Audrey. First, he explained that this time, he had still transcribed ancient God legends, and he would give them the manuscript through Mr. Fool after the Tarot Club ended.
Lin Ruo and Justice Audrey, who were somewhat accustomed to this, naturally had no objections. However, Lin Ruo secretly raised his guard against Amon by another level in his heart.
As the saying goes, when a mischievous child suddenly becomes quiet, it must be because he's planning something. Lin Ruo didn't think it was a good sign that Amon, who was so malicious as to use the Tudor Family's diary to annoy him, suddenly became silent.
Although the possibility is small, I still need to guard against Amon coming to Backlund now… Damn it, this mischievous child!
Lin Ruo's brow twitched fiercely. This feeling of not knowing what kind of great conspiracy the mischievous child was secretly concocting was truly awful.
Perhaps I should go ask Adam. As Amon's brother and father, he might know something about Amon's movements… Lin Ruo thought silently. He wasn't afraid to see Adam, even if the other party was also terrifying, he was still much better than Amon.
The key is, Lin Ruo also doesn't know where to find Adam.
"I can only try to call him. Although I don't know Adam's honorific name, 'all words shall be known.' If I call him a few times, Adam will come if he wants to see me, right…" Lin Ruo muttered in his heart, suddenly feeling that the Spectator ability was quite useful.
Especially for allies, you don't even need to chant their honorific name to ask for help; just diss them a few times in your heart, and they'll sense it.
I just don't know if this kind of sensing can be actively turned off. If not, wouldn't it be annoying?
Lin Ruo imagined a certain Adam being frantically called while eating, drinking, and going to the bathroom, and suddenly felt that the ability "all words shall be known" became hilarious.
At this moment, Little Sun Derrick said, "Everyone, regarding that temple related to the Fallen Creator, I have been assigned an exploration mission again."
Oh?
Lin Ruo looked at him and said gently, "Could it be that your City of Silver Chief wants to restart the exploration?"
—On a side note, Lovia was very reliable. After receiving Lin Ruo's small note, she persuaded the higher-ups of City of Silver within three days to cancel the exploration mission she was supposed to lead. Since the mission was canceled, Little Sun naturally didn't need to pretend to be on the verge of losing control, and he didn't encounter Amon underground, so his companions didn't die because of it.
"Yes, Mr. Chariot." Little Sun Derrick nodded quickly and said, "This exploration will be led by the City of Silver Chief."
So fast… Lin Ruo raised an eyebrow. He wasn't surprised that City of Silver would continue exploring the True Creator temple, after all, even after what happened in the original story, they didn't give up.
To put it bluntly, City of Silver has already reached a dead end and will not give up any hope. Although the True Creator's temple is suspicious, City of Silver will strive to find that glimmer of possibility.
Otherwise, over the years, they would have long given up on exploring the outside world. One must know that dangerous places in the Forsaken Land of the Gods are not necessarily everywhere, but there are definitely quite a few more dangerous than the True Creator's temple.
Even Lovia, in this situation, could prevent one exploration, but it would be impossible to prevent it repeatedly.
However, compared to Lovia leading the team alone, having the City of Silver Chief present actually reduced the danger significantly. After all, the City of Silver Chief is reliable, and the Gray Fog is also a great cheat. If that Jack were also there, it could even boost the confidence of the City of Silver citizens… After thinking for a few seconds, Lin Ruo looked at Little Sun Derrick and said:
"In that case, you can actually give it a try. It shouldn't be that dangerous…"
"I can lend you a God-level Sealed Artifact, but don't lose it."
"That was a gift from the former Creator to Angel of Judgment. You should know how important that is."
What he intended to lend Little Sun was naturally the Unshadowed Crucifix, a miraculous item very suitable for use in the Forsaken Land of the Gods, and it might even have a miraculous effect in the True Creator's temple.
Incidentally, this was also Lin Ruo's first step in pushing Little Sun to the forefront.
A suddenly appearing Divine Rank miraculous item could explain many things, especially when that item was also related to the former Creator.
With the City of Silver Chief present, Lin Ruo wasn't too worried that Little Sun would be directly labeled a cultist, nor did he think that such an item would be enough to earn the other party's trust.
But it would at least make Little Sun a specially noticed child.
