Reinette Tinekerr's appearance was undoubtedly a little unsettling, but Klein was no longer the novice Beyonder he once was, so he naturally wasn't frightened. He politely nodded and said, "Yes."
While speaking, Klein also quickly glanced at Lin Ruo beside him, seeking his opinion.
—Is this the excellent messenger you mentioned?
Klein believed that since Lin Ruo had given him such clear advice, he must have anticipated this summoning result.
Moreover, this messenger looked extraordinary at first glance. Considering Lin Ruo's social butterfly nature of being able to find friends wherever he went, Klein reasonably suspected whether Lin Ruo and the other party knew each other.
Lin Ruo, receiving Klein's gaze, blinked, thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Should I say nice to meet you, or long time no see, Reinette Tinekerr?"
Reinette Tinekerr?
Sharron's Angel Teacher?!
Klein immediately matched the name with the information in his mind, and his gaze towards the Miss Messenger became complex.
Although he had already had various extraordinary experiences due to the gray fog, and had even received investments from Angels like the Evernight Goddess and the Snake of Mercury, Klein never expected that an Angel would actually come to be his messenger because of the gray fog?
Even if the essence was still for investment, this was too… Klein's mood became even more subtle.
"Long…" "time…" "no see…" "Thank you for… helping Sharron."
The four heads held in Reinette Tinekerr's hand simultaneously nodded and spoke in turn.
"It's just an equivalent exchange; I also received the reward I wanted." Lin Ruo smiled gently. His gaze fell on Reinette Tinekerr, and he said, "Actually, I'm very curious, did you know about my slumber?"
"I…" "saw…" "you…" "before your…" "slumber."
The heads held in Reinette Tinekerr's hand spoke again, their expressions somewhat dim as if they had thought of something:
"At that time…" "you reminded…" "me to…" "beware of…" "Abomination Suah."
Lin Ruo pursed his lips upon hearing this, then suddenly sighed and said, "It's a pity my reminder doesn't seem to have worked."
"I didn't expect…" "the Chained God…" "to have been completely…" "corroded."
Reinette Tinekerr was clearly not in a good mood. She was a Blessed of the Chained God, Thor. While she wasn't a devout follower of this King of Angels, she had at least truly believed in him and had genuine feelings for him.
The existence she once believed in had become a Puppet of the Mother Tree of Desire; anyone would be distressed by this.
Lin Ruo, on the other hand, blinked, instinctively analyzing the information in Reinette Tinekerr's words.
Clearly, the Lin Ruo before his slumber, although he had warned Reinette Tinekerr, had not told her that the Chained God, Thor, had become the most miserable King of Angels, reduced to a Puppet of the Mother Tree of Desire.
There were two possibilities: one was that he knew but didn't say. However, Lin Ruo understood himself; given his seemingly good relationship with Reinette Tinekerr, it was unlikely he wouldn't mention such a thing, especially since Reinette Tinekerr was not an Angel incapable of understanding Outer Deities.
The other possibility was that he, at that time, also did not know about this matter.
This led to another question: when exactly did Lin Ruo's memories regarding the Lord of the Mysteries recover?
Could it be that he hadn't recovered these memories until just before his slumber?
Lin Ruo thought about it and felt that this possibility actually existed.
After all, if he had truly recovered those memories at that time, he wouldn't have let Roselle get into such a miserable state.
But if that were the case, how did he so bravely choose Klein as an anchor? And some parts just didn't make sense.
Lin Ruo instinctively began to ponder, combining his past experiences to arrive at a subtle guess—could it be that he remembered, but not completely?
For example, he remembered Reinette Tinekerr's ending, but not the matter of the Chained God, Thor, being turned into a Puppet.
Lin Ruo felt that this possibility was quite high. Memory isn't something that, once triggered, requires you to recall the entire book's content at once. Perhaps the parts he remembered back then were incomplete, which is why this contradictory state appeared.
Of course, besides this, there was another possibility: he indeed hadn't remembered, but his gaze had already seen the future through the past.
The image of himself, conversing across time and space, flashed through Lin Ruo's mind. He pursed his lips, then looked at Reinette Tinekerr, hinting, "So this is why you came today. You want revenge, right?"
Revenge, not only against Abomination Suah, but also against the Mother Tree of Desire.
"Yes…" "I want…" "revenge…" "and also to protect…" "Sharron and them."
Reinette Tinekerr did not deny it. Her four heads spoke in turn:
"I want…" "to reclaim…" "what is…" "mine."
"I want to avenge…" "the dead…" "people."
"A very good idea." Lin Ruo nodded. He looked at Klein and said, "This is why she wants to invest in you. Night is for something, Will is for a chance to become a god, and Reinette is for protection and revenge."
"So, Klein, are you willing to accept her investment?"
The previous questions were not only for Lin Ruo to understand Reinette Tinekerr's attitude, but also to show Klein her attitude.
Lin Ruo's attitude towards investment has always been this way: friendship can be discussed, but all demands and prices should also be laid out.
Klein subconsciously pursed his lips. He looked at Lin Ruo, then at Reinette Tinekerr. After some thought, he said solemnly, "I cannot guarantee that I will reach that step in the future, nor can I guarantee that I will definitely be able to help you."
"But as long as I can, I will do my best."
"I believe…" "you…" "Sign…" "the contract then."
Reinette Tinekerr's four heads nodded simultaneously without any hesitation.
"Just to confirm, is it to sign a messenger contract?" Klein cautiously confirmed.
"Yes…"
One of Reinette Tinekerr's heads spoke. Then, as if she thought of something, the other three heads continued:
"One…" "Gold…" "Coin…" "each time."
Ah, does that mean one Gold Coin per letter delivered?
Klein was stunned for a moment, thinking of his already not-so-rich wallet. For a split second, he almost blurted out, "Aren't you an investor? Why are you still charging money?"
Wait, I don't necessarily have to pay this money!
However, soon enough, Klein figured out the key and tentatively asked, "Can the recipient choose to pay?"
"Yes…"
Reinette Tinekerr agreed very readily.
Lin Ruo's smile became even brighter. He knew that Reinette Tinekerr certainly wasn't short of these few Gold Coins; even if she wanted to subsidize her disciple or make money, an Angel had plenty of ways.
The reason she asked for Gold Coins might be that she had some premonition about future fate, about those five special Gold Coins, but didn't know the specifics, so she could only use a clumsy method.
However, will those five Gold Coins still be useful this time?
