"Hmm, what a rare good day!"
Early in the morning, Lin Ruo pushed open the living room window, looked at the sky where the sun was rarely out, and sighed with a smile.
It was already December, and in the past half a month, Lin Ruo had a rare peaceful life. Although he was still very busy, he was finally not as overworked as before. Besides completing his tasks, he could also spare a lot of time to read his favorite novels.
By the way, under Lin Ruo's supervision, Fors, this Salted Fish, finally unleashed unprecedented potential. In just over twenty days, she had already completed one-third of the novel, which greatly pleased Lin Ruo. At the same time, he silently crossed out the original plan in his heart: if this Salted Fish's procrastination flared up, he would take her to experience the beauty of flying and let her reflect.
"It is indeed a rare good day, but for some people, it's probably as if the sky has fallen."
Klein's voice came from behind. Lin Ruo looked back and, without surprise, saw Klein holding a newspaper. Lin Ruo's gaze fell on the newspaper, where the headline read: "Negan Assassinated, Aurora Order Claims Responsibility." He couldn't help but curl his lips and say:
"Maybe, but it's too ridiculous for the Aurora Order to claim responsibility. They're completely being made a scapegoat!"
Lin Ruo's tone was slightly displeased.
That's right, Duke Negan, who was locked onto by Adam to some extent in the original work, was repeatedly assassinated, and was surrounded by traitors, finally died.
Lin Ruo also learned about this news from the newspaper early this morning.
To be honest, Lin Ruo was neither surprised nor regretful about this news.
He wasn't surprised because Lin Ruo never thought that Duke Negan, who was blocking the progress of the era—mainly Adam's progress—could survive. He wasn't regretful because Lin Ruo knew very well that Duke Negan was not a good person. Perhaps he was a qualified noble, but he was far from meeting the threshold of an innocent person in Lin Ruo's heart.
Even in Lin Ruo's plan, if this person really managed to survive Adam's small schemes by chance, then when he started to cause trouble and establish a new order in the future, Duke Negan would also be hung on a lamppost by him.
However, despite his indifference, Lin Ruo was still somewhat displeased that the Aurora Order was not the one who did it, but the blame was pinned on them.
Even though he didn't particularly like the Aurora Order, their Backlund branch was currently under his management. As a result, he was inexplicably saddled with such a huge black pot, making him seem like a big villain.
Didn't he have any shame?
While making a mental note against the Loen Royal Family, Lin Ruo comforted himself:
"Forget it, just take it as making a name for the Aurora Order..."
He then stretched, looked at Klein, and said: "I have something to do at the Aurora Order. This was a pre-arranged itinerary that's difficult to change. Please go to Saint Samuel Cathedral on my behalf to visit Saint Anthony and inquire about Duke Negan's matter."
Although he felt nothing about Duke Negan's death, it was still necessary to understand the situation.
But Lin Ruo really didn't want to rush from the Aurora Order to Saint Samuel Cathedral without stopping, so he naturally handed this glorious task over to Klein.
A student, after all, must bear the heavy responsibility of being a tool person at critical moments (loudly)!
"Visit Your Excellency Saint Anthony?" Klein was stunned for a moment, then nodded without refusing, "Okay."
So the teacher and student went their separate ways.
Lin Ruo skillfully used his travel ability to reach the Aurora Order's stronghold and, as expected, saw Mr. A at the entrance, who had received a letter yesterday knowing he would come and had been waiting early.
"Good day, Your Excellency Blessed..."
"Get up. Tell me what's going on. Does the Numinous Episcopate also want to get involved in the upcoming matters?" Lin Ruo waved his hand, signaling Mr. A, who was kneeling on one knee, to rise. He walked towards the study, asking as he went.
This was also the reason Lin Ruo came to the Aurora Order early this morning. Just yesterday, Mr. A sent him a letter through his messenger, stating that the Loen Royal Family seemed to have reached some kind of cooperation with the Numinous Episcopate and also wanted to participate in the upcoming major event.
Upon hearing this, Lin Ruo immediately thought of a certain Red Angel who was cooperating with the Numinous Episcopate.
Considering that the other party was cooperating with the Numinous Episcopate and secretly coveting the conqueror characteristic that the Loen Royal Family would trade to the Demoness Sect in the future, it would not be surprising if this matter was indeed instigated by the other party to achieve some hidden purpose.
However, Lin Ruo's call to Medici yesterday unusually didn't go through, so he wasn't clear what the other party was doing, but Lin Ruo wasn't very worried about the other party's safety either, so he simply decided to come and ask Mr. A for relevant information.
"Yes, the Numinous Episcopate seems to require a large amount of death for some reason... This might be for the Numinous Episcopate' Artificial Death plan." Mr. A stood up, following a step behind Lin Ruo, reporting at a very fast pace.
"Tsk, death... one needs disaster, one needs death, it's a perfect match." Lin Ruo curled his lips, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
He walked to the sofa and sat down, looking at Mr. A, and said: "Besides the previous Sequence 4 Undead, which other high-ranking members does the Numinous Episcopate have in Backlund now?"
"Who did they send to execute this plan?"
Because Medici, a traitor mixed within the Numinous Episcopate, was present, Lin Ruo was very familiar with the Numinous Episcopate' situation in Backlund before.
Presumably, because their development focus was on the Southern Continent, the personnel arranged by the Numinous Episcopate in Backlund were basically consistent with the original work. Although a Sequence 4 who seemed like a high-ranking member was stationed there, in reality, that Sequence 4 was merely a lucky survivor who unexpectedly survived a sacrifice and established a connection with the Death uniqueness.
Even though the other party was already a High-Sequence, due to this origin, they were not regarded as core personnel at all, and were completely cannon fodder that could be sacrificed at any time. In the original work, they were nicknamed "Undying Fool," and after the Evernight Goddess gained control of the Death uniqueness, they became a tool person for the Evernight Goddess.
Under these circumstances, Lin Ruo did not think that the Numinous Episcopate would really cooperate with the Loen Royal Family and hand over relevant matters to the other party; they would most likely send another high-ranking member over.
Of course, if it's a superficial cooperation, maybe they'll just use this opportunity to sacrifice this person?
Lin Ruo thought this, poured himself a cup of tea, and then heard Mr. A reply:
"According to the information we've received, the Numinous Episcopate' person in charge of this matter is a new Face, possibly a newly promoted High-Sequence of the Numinous Episcopate, named Ares."
..." Lin Ruo, who hadn't had time to drink his tea and thus wasn't choked, paused his movements and confirmed: "Ares?"
"Yes, this is the information sent back by our mole secretly embedded in the Numinous Episcopate," Mr. A said respectfully as always.
Lin Ruo blinked, unsure whether to complain, "Woc, the Aurora Order can actually plant moles in other secret organizations?" or to complain about the name Ares, the God of War in Greek mythology.
Although the possibility of a second Transmigration in this world cannot be ruled out, at this time, and in the Numinous Episcopate, and coincidentally using the pseudonym of the God of War... Lin Ruo wouldn't believe that the other party wasn't Medici.
But I'll still call to confirm later... Lin Ruo reminded himself in his heart, then looked at Mr. A in front of him, suddenly feeling a bit sorry for the Loen Royal Family.
One Aurora Order, one Numinous Episcopate, two out of three collaborators are traitors... How pitiful!
