"Once the conversation over there ends, I will arrange for you to meet Roselle," Lynn, using the alternate account of the Angel of Secrets, said. "Before that, you should decide on the identity you will use when meeting Roselle, especially you, Klein..."
The Angel of Secrets looked at Klein with a smile and said, "I personally don't recommend you expose your other identity right now."
Unlike the original meeting between the transmigrator and the fellow countryman, the current Klein was still too weak. Additionally, Lynn planned to introduce Bernadette, the angel investor, to Mr. Fool. Under these circumstances, it was not suitable for Klein to reveal his identity as the Fool to Roselle.
Of course, Lynn knew that Roselle might guess that Klein would be the future Lord of Mysteries. Whether Roselle would choose to invest in Klein proactively under such circumstances was unknown to Lynn.
"I understand..." Klein nodded thoughtfully. He hadn't planned to reveal the Fool's identity upon meeting Roselle—unlike in the original work, Klein had not read much of Roselle's diary and didn't know much about this fellow countryman. Coupled with his own weakness, he naturally intended to act cautiously.
"As long as you are aware," the Angel of Secrets smiled with satisfaction.
"And what about me? Are there any precautions I need to take?" Lynn's main account raised a very crucial question at this moment. "Also, I have a question: With all this persecution of Roselle, are you sure he won't take it out on me? I can't fight a Sequence 0..."
Upon hearing this, Klein's expression also became subtle.
After all, Lynn's guess was not unreasonable. Based on Roselle's personality as shown in the diary and his recent behavior, it was very likely he might take his anger out on Lynn.
"Don't worry, if he hits you, I'll hit him back for you," the Angel of Secrets said with a smile.
"But if he hits me, even if you hit him back, I've still been hit," Lynn frowned, expressing his dissatisfaction.
A true warrior must face their persecutor head-on.
Of course, Lynn didn't actually intend to let his main account get beaten up. If Roselle really planned to beat him for revenge, Lynn would definitely make him understand the consequences.
"Ahem, with the Angel of Secrets here, Roselle might not dare to act," Klein interjected. He was really afraid that Lynn and the Angel of Secrets might start arguing, especially after witnessing the Angel's persecution methods. Mr. Fool truly didn't want his little partner to have a conflict with the Angel of Secrets.
It was not just for the sake of his partner but also for himself.
Klein didn't want to be the next victim of the Angel of Secrets.
"You have a point," Lynn nodded and didn't continue to argue with his divine avatar. He began to drink his coffee quietly.
Although it was a dream, because Lynn had created it meticulously, even the coffee was no different from the real world.
After drinking coffee quietly for almost half an hour, they finally saw Roselle and Bernadette coming to the pavilion after their conversation.
Bernadette seemed to have cried earlier, as her eyes were slightly red. The atmosphere between her and Roselle was harmonious.
Clearly, after the previous outburst and a private conversation with Roselle, Bernadette had almost completely resolved her issues with her father.
Roselle still looked the same. When he found that there were not only Lynn but also others in the pavilion, his expression suddenly changed. He quickly patted his face, and his previously swollen face returned to its uninjured state.
Roselle cared about his appearance. He didn't mind showing his swollen face in front of his daughter and Lynn, but he wanted to maintain his Black Emperor image in front of others.
'But who were these two people? Why were they here...'
Roselle looked at Klein and Lynn in the pavilion with some confusion, his gaze fixed on Lynn's face, which was identical to the Angel of Secrets'.
Bernadette also noticed Lynn at this time, showing a surprised expression.
"If you two are done talking, I'm sorry, Bernadette, but your meeting with your father will end here. I have some business to discuss with him. If you want to see him again, let me know in advance," the Angel of Secrets said to Bernadette with a warm smile.
Bernadette was stunned for a moment, though she had many doubts. She wasn't an ungrateful person and quickly said, "I understand. Please let me leave the dream."
"By the way..." The Angel of Secrets seemed to remember something and looked at Bernadette, saying, "Is the '0-05 Wishing Lamp' in your possession?"
"The Lamp is indeed with me," Bernadette nodded, looking at the Angel of Secrets with a respectful and grateful expression. "If you need it, I can return to the Dawn and retrieve it for you after leaving the dream."
Although the '0-05 Wishing Lamp' was valuable, Bernadette didn't mind giving it to the Angel of Secrets, who was willing to help her complete the ritual to ascend to Sage and help her father rid himself of corruption.
The assistance from the Angel of Secrets to their father-daughter relationship couldn't be measured by a single Level 0 Sealed Artifact.
"What do you need that thing for? It's not simple; it's very dangerous," Roselle said, looking at the Angel of Secrets with suspicion.
Roselle had no objection to Bernadette giving the '0-05 Wishing Lamp' to Lynn. After all, once he gave it to Bernadette, it was up to her how to handle it. Besides, Roselle didn't want Bernadette to use the Lamp.
The Sealed Artifact was too dangerous. Although the first two wishes could be worded to avoid danger to some extent, as a doting father, Roselle couldn't help but worry about the risks involved.
He gave the Lamp to his daughter as a last resort in desperate situations, but that didn't mean he wanted her to use it.
Moreover, Roselle was somewhat concerned about the '0-05 Wishing Lamp's' tradition of bringing bad ends to its users.
So, if Lynn wanted to take this hot potato, Roselle had no objections.
"I just want to study it..." the Angel of Secrets said vaguely, smiling at Bernadette. "Once I have results, I'll return the Lamp to you, but this might take a while."
"You don't need to return it. I'm willing to give it to you..." Bernadette quickly said.
"Then I'll thank you in advance," Lynn didn't refuse Bernadette's gift. He needed the '0-05 Wishing Lamp' to study its genie, which was undoubtedly a long-term project.
"It sounds like you know the situation of the Lamp" Roselle stroked his beard thoughtfully.
