Undoubtedly, this situation is fraught with danger, Lin Ruo acknowledged.
Yet, it's not beyond the realm of possibility!
Capim himself doesn't appear to be a High-Sequence Beyonder. Despite the royal family's protective shield of lower and middle-ranked Beyonder individuals around him, these agents are not of the highest caliber.
Considering the overarching narrative, the highest-ranking Beyonders within this group are likely only Sequence 6. However, certain Beyonder artifacts can rival the strength of Sequence 5.
Fortunately, Lin Ruo possesses a one-minute demigod state, making his abilities distinguishable from regular Beyonders. With his secret badge ensuring stealth, he could infiltrate Capim's mansion discreetly. Catching them off guard, he would stand a significant chance of succeeding in his pursuit.
The gaping divide between preparation and surprise in the Mysterious World plays heavily in Lin Ruo's favor.
Even disregarding the demigod disparity, his natural calculating and strategizing talents provide a substantial edge. Plus, the option to employ his traveler's proficiency in fleeing remains viable if any mishap occurs. The secret badge guarantees his safety, preventing other Beyonders from detecting him pre or post-action.
The advantages of hunting down Capim are multifold.
Firstly, Lin Ruo could embrace the role of the hunter, digesting potions as a result.
Secondly, avenging the original owner's plight serves as a powerful motivation, resonating with his own will.
Thirdly, by preemptively uncovering Capim's dealings, he could expose the royal family's scheme to the Church and possibly incite a consequential confrontation, ensnaring Ince in the turmoil.
Lin Ruo squinted, his mind racing. Suddenly, he tightened his grip on the secret badge, then relaxed it, muttering, "Capim, I hope you're a Beyonder. That would make digesting the potion all the more easier!"
He snorted, simultaneously commencing the formulation of his intricate hunting plan in his mind.
After adequately addressing these matters, Lin Ruo's attention shifted to procuring the follow-up potion formula via a Hunter Path participant.
While the Beyonder fortuneteller's central activity isn't within Loen, the same holds for Beyonders on the Hunter Path, whose focus resides in the Republic of Intis and the Feysac Empire.
Nevertheless, this doesn't render obtaining the Hunter Path's subsequent potion formula in Loen an insurmountable challenge.
Apart from the aforesaid factors, there are three-in-one hot pot evil spirits and the Hunter Path's "Red Priest" Blasphemer card nestled in Backlund's underground—a card that calls for convergence of Beyonder qualities. With these elements, Beyonders of the Hunter Path would naturally gravitate.
To secure the follow-up potion for the Hunter Path, the ideal yet perilous path involves acquiring the Red Priest blasphemer card, essentially collecting the subsequent potion formula in one fell swoop.
However, the Red Priest Blasphemer card lies in the grasp of the three-in-one hot pot evil spirit. Despite being humorously characterized in the original narrative, this entity is far from amiable. Moreover, gleaned from later events, Adam, the individual who auctioned Medici, closely monitors it.
Extracting the card from the tiger's maw poses an immense challenge—akin to Script 008's script of tearing apart. Lin Ruo acknowledges it's no less challenging than the scripted scenario, even more so.
But challenge doesn't signify futility. Currently, Medici is at a vulnerable juncture. Even though the Red Priest Blasphemer card holds no true significance to Medici, who remains in bondage, now marks an opportune moment—though Lin Ruo doesn't believe he can seize it with his one minute of demigod prowess.
Besides, employing [Truth] to manipulate circumstances is problematic due to Medici's present state. Lin Ruo's aim is securing the Red Priest blasphemer card, not obliterating the hot pot evil spirit. Revealing the entity is equally out of the question.
Furthermore, attracting unofficial demigods to engage the hot pot evil spirit would likely end poorly, likely resulting in the intervention of Aurora Society or Demoness Sect's demigods.
Lin Ruo finds satisfaction in confronting Ince's machinations due to his expertise. Nonetheless, seizing the Red Priest Blasphemer card when odds favor the hot pot evil spirit's enrichment is unwise.
"First, digest the potion... Alternative means to secure low-ranking Hunter Path potion formulas exist. Patience is key." Lin Ruo reminisces on characters from the original narrative who may possess the Red Priest blasphemer's low-ranking formula, exhaling slowly. He begins ruminating over alternative avenues.
Eliciting retribution for the original owner demands methodical progression. Lin Ruo opts to address Capim first, subsequently gathering intelligence on the adversaries that wronged the original owner. Planning and adaptations will come later; haste is unnecessary.
Compared to his plans, Lin Ruo acknowledges his need for rest. Strained from both the resurrection's aftermath and the exhaustive use of the [Fallacy] experiment, Lin Ruo yearns for recuperation. Despite his fatigue, he's resolved to fulfill his responsibilities.
However, the connection between himself and Klein endures. Lin Ruo senses an imminent summons, implying a dual-operation scenario.
Lin Ruo intends to employ this for potion assimilation and sequence advancement when his spirit returns to his main body. Simultaneously, he envisions fostering a congenial relationship with Klein during his presence on Klein's side, nurturing a harmonious bond in the "Lord of Mysteries" world.
Conversely, expelling Ince's manipulations involves swift action. Lin Ruo comprehends the power of the destiny system, stressing the necessity of minimizing Ince's operational window. Prolonging the conflict only amplifies variables.
Resolute and well-informed, Lin Ruo feels a weight lifted. With acquired memories, he no longer requires expended energy on language fallacies. Grasping childhood languages, Common Loen and Hermes, becomes effortless.
Concluding these matters, Lin Ruo releases an exhausted yawn. Likely attributed to the resurrection's strain, he perceives both mental and physical weariness. Yet, his responsibilities remain.
After addressing essentials and formulating preliminary plans, Lin Ruo finds no reason to persist. He reclines, resting his head, and closes his eyes.
He contemplates the hope that slumber won't usher him into Tingen's backdrop...
Fatigue envelops him, rightfully so.
With these ruminations, Lin Ruo's consciousness succumbs to deep slumber.
