"Even if you might perish in the process?" Lynn looked at her, his tone increasingly calm, almost devoid of emotion.
"Even if I might perish in the process." Bernadette closed her eyes, her tone firm.
She didn't know if this was a test from the Angel of Secrets, but every word she spoke came from the heart. Even without the Angel of Secrets or supposed allies, from the moment she learned that the Augustus family wanted to support a new Black Emperor, Bernadette could never stand by idly.
"Then seize this disaster to become a Sage!" Seeing Bernadette's attitude, Lynn finally smiled again and said, "Bernadette, only by becoming an Angel will you have a slight qualification to step into this game."
"As for the rest..." Lynn continued with a hint of apology in his voice, "I forgot to tell you earlier, the Angel allied with you is a King of Angels."
Although Red is not yet a King of Angels, Lynn believed that when the Augustus family wanted to push George III to power, he would be.
At worst, he could pull Ouroboros into the mix, and they would have a King of Angels.
Lynn had confidence in his companions. When George III ascends to godhood, pulling someone in to help wouldn't be a big problem.
Bernadette's expression instantly showed surprise, followed by a sigh of relief.
She knew what a King of Angels meant. In an era where true gods couldn't easily descend, a King of Angels was almost the pinnacle of Beyonders in the world.
If a King of Angels was willing to stop the Augustus Royal Family's conspiracy, their chances of success would greatly increase.
Moreover, Bernadette couldn't help but glance at Lynn again. To be able to involve a King of Angels in this matter, the ancient god before her evidently had significant influence.
Lynn leisurely sipped his coffee before smiling and saying, "When the time comes, I'll notify you in advance and introduce your temporary teammates to you."
"What you need to do now is prepare to prevent the upcoming disaster. The matter of the Black Emperor is still too early for you."
"Yes, I understand. I will seize this opportunity to become a Sage." Bernadette nodded solemnly and then added, "Thank you very much for telling me all this. Is there anything I can do to repay you?"
Bernadette was well aware that she owed this ancient god a great favor. He didn't need to tell her about the impending disaster. Without this information, Bernadette couldn't possibly seize this disaster to complete her promotion to Sage.
Not to mention his willingness to help prevent the rise of a new Black Emperor. Even if it was because the Angel of Secrets needed his father's continued service, Bernadette was not ungrateful. She would not take his help for granted.
Though she knew her current rank might not suffice to repay him, she would try to do something for him.
Lynn looked at her and then laughed. "Have you heard of the Fool?"
"The Fool?" Bernadette showed a puzzled expression, quickly searching her knowledge base. She then hesitantly said, "Do you mean the Antigonus from the Fourth Epoch?"
"No, the Fool I refer to is not Antigonus, but an old friend of mine." Lynn shook his head slowly and said, "He is an ancient being who returned from antiquity, fell into slumber long ago, and has only recently awakened."
Bernadette's expression showed deep thought as she tried to match the Fool to the many angels and gods she knew.
Lynn continued to skillfully use his language, smiling as he said, "You might guess that his current state is not very good, unable to interfere much with the real world. Unfortunately, my followers and I are also under many restrictions, unable to directly help him..."
"So you mean, you hope I can help this Fool out of his predicament?" Bernadette asked tentatively.
She was not surprised that an ancient god might be in a troubled state. Even some famous evil gods in the real world were in a similar situation. For example, the True Creator was jointly repelled by the Seven Gods, making his descent extremely difficult.
Bernadette was only slightly shocked. As a Clairvoyant and one who knew many secrets, she thought she understood the Beyonder world well enough. But today, she realized the world was deeper than she thought. There might be many ancient beings she didn't know about who had already awakened.
"You can understand it that way, but you don't need to do much, just help his followers a bit. I don't want the Seven Gods to focus too much on my old friend; that wouldn't be good for him."
Lynn smiled. Apart from the great smog incident and the Black Emperor matter, he didn't have much that required Bernadette's help. His main self could relax and let his clone handle things.
So, Lynn decided to pull in some investment for Mr. Fool. After all, this investment belonged to Mr. Fool in the original.
As a good friend of Klein, the "Pope" of the Tarot Club, Lynn's main self was practically a follower of the Fool. If he needed Bernadette's help in the future, he could use his main self to ask.
"I understand. How can I contact the followers of this Fool?" Bernadette asked solemnly.
Lynn smiled and looked at her with a distant gaze. "You will meet them soon."
Bernadette's pupils shrank. At that moment, she almost immediately thought of prophecy-related abilities. As a Clairvoyant, she shouldn't be surprised, but she had a feeling that what he saw in the future might be far beyond her imagination.
But Bernadette didn't ask further. She bowed her head and said, "I understand."
"That's all for business!" Lynn glanced at her, indifferent to what she might imagine. He had been looking forward to the next part and said, "Now, let's talk about another matter."
"What is it?" Bernadette asked with a puzzled expression. She couldn't imagine what else it could be.
"Your father asked me to read you some of his diary entries," Lynn's smile brightened, "What you often call the Roselle Diaries."
