Chapter 371: Having Little Red Undermine The Lord
Klein couldn't help but become more curious about Frank Lee after hearing what Lynn said. At the same time, he also remembered what the Angel of Secrets had mentioned.
'Not long from now... Frank Lee is one of the Pirate General's subordinates. Does that mean I'll leave Backlund soon and head to the Five Seas?' Klein speculated inwardly.
Angel of Secrets didn't elaborate much, simply smiling at Klein as he continued, "You'd better think carefully about these things soon. While I don't mind waiting, the little raven far away in the Forsaken Land might not have the patience."
"I'll get everything ready as soon as possible..." Klein hurriedly responded. Although he said that, he still hadn't decided what to send to Little Sun. Moreover, Klein was troubled about what identity to use when sending these things. Logically, using the identity of 'The World' would be the best, but...
"No matter what identity you choose, it won't be a quiet affair..." Lynn's main account poked Klein at this moment and whispered, "Don't forget, this is the Angel of Secrets delivering the items. Given his flamboyant nature, it certainly won't be a low-key affair."
Klein: ...
Oh right, with the style of the Angel of Secrets, it definitely won't be low-profile.
Even with a conservative estimate, the little sun, who was just an ordinary citizen of Silver City, would definitely become a "star figure" in Silver City after receiving something from the Angel of Secrets, attracting the attention of the higher-ups.
Would this be a good thing for Little Sun? Maybe it's better to forget about it?
Klein hesitated for a moment. He wanted to improve Little Sun's life, but pushing him into the spotlight so flamboyantly—was it really a good idea?
"Don't overthink it. Whether or not you send something, I still have to visit Silver City. And who told you that without this event, he wouldn't end up in the spotlight?" Angel of Secrets smiled and added, "You have your fate, and he naturally has his. Besides, this may not be a bad thing for him; it might even be greatly beneficial."
Involving a connection with some unknown God—if this had happened during the early days of the Fall of Ancient Sun God in Silver City, it might have been something intolerable for the people of Silver City. But now, when the people of Silver City are losing hope, they would choose to turn a blind eye, regardless of whether the God connected to Little Sun is a benevolent deity or the True Creator.
Because they've reached a dead end, and now Silver City no longer cares if the entity associated with them is a righteous God or an alleged evil God. As long as it can save Silver City, it's a good God.
"So, you're actually hoping to push him to the forefront with this event? No, you're trying to push The Fool to the forefront!" Klein, being Klein, quickly realized Lynn's true intentions.
As for whether this would expose his identity as The Fool in front of Azik and Medici, Klein didn't really care—Mr. Azik was someone Klein trusted completely, and Medici was someone Lynn trusted completely. Moreover, both of them knew about his future as a savior, and they might even know more about the situation than he did.
In this context, Klein really didn't feel the need to hide his identity as The Fool. Who knows, these two might know more than he does!
Of course, Klein wouldn't explain anything proactively. His strategy was simple: "If you can guess it, great. If not, even better."
"The Fool should step into the spotlight, at least in Silver City," Angel of Secrets said with a smile. "And this is a good opportunity, isn't it? The Angel of Secrets, as The Fool's envoy, descends on Silver City, bringing the light of hope and salvation. They will become The Fool's believers, providing him with enough anchor points."
"But..." Klein frowned, suddenly thinking of something, and said, "So, The Fool really does save Silver City in the future?"
"You should trust The Fool's abilities," Lynn replied with a smile, clearly affirming Klein's words.
Klein's expression became more complex, unsure whether to feel comforted or pressured. However, when he thought about his future role as a savior, Klein suddenly felt more at ease.
After all, compared to saving the entire world, the difficulty of saving Silver City... doesn't seem that high.
If you have to catch one sheep, you might as well catch two. Mr. Fool was beginning to accept reality.
He couldn't help but ask again, "How much of the future do you actually know?"
Why does it feel like you know everything?
As soon as he asked this, Medici and Azik also turned their gaze toward Lynn. The former knew the essence of Lynn's so-called prophecy ability, but was equally curious about how many eras Lynn had lived through. The latter, on the other hand, had high expectations and curiosity about Lynn's prophecy ability.
"Very curious?" Lynn glanced over at the crowd, who were eager to watch the drama unfold, smiled, and then looked at Klein, as if seeing through his entire life.
"Actually, I don't know that much. Just up until you save the world."
"Up until I save the world... So, you don't know what happens after that?" Klein was somewhat surprised. He wasn't surprised that Lynn knew about him saving the world—Lynn had made that clear long ago. What surprised him was that Lynn's knowledge of the future only extended up to his saving the world.
So, even the Angel of Secrets has limits to their prophecy abilities?
"At least for now, I don't know," Lynn shook his head and then asked, "So, have you decided what to do?"
Klein pursed his lips. Of course, he knew Lynn was asking about his plan to bring Mr. Fool into the spotlight.
To be honest, aside from feeling a bit embarrassed, Klein didn't really mind. After all, this wasn't the first time he'd played the role of The Fool. Whether performing in front of Little Sun or in front of Silver City, it was all the same—so long as he had the ability, one day, he would truly save Silver City, just like The Fool.
—Klein had already learned from Mr. Door that The Fool was the name of the Sequence 0 of the Seer pathway.
He had been surprised by this, but after the surprise, he also felt a sense of inevitability.
It's not self-centeredness; it's just that too many similar things have happened to him already. Klein had gotten used to it.
So Klein was just pondering one question: "But you know about The Fool's situation. Even if The Fool really can save Silver City, that's something for the future. Right now, with The Fool... is this really okay?"
Yes, Klein was primarily worried that, being only Sequence 7, he could easily fool Little Sun, but fooling the entire Silver City—wasn't that a bit too challenging?
"That's why I'm asking if you want to ask me for help with something," Angel of Secrets looked at Klein, smiling brightly. "Even though I'm not as powerful as I used to be, I'm still a genuine angel, and..."
Lynn casually pulled Medici, who was standing nearby, and laughed, "Even if I can't do it, we have another labor force here. You should have confidence in us."
Medici's expression instantly darkened.
He had already understood what Lynn was talking about and probably knew which city-state they were referring to as Silver City—Medici vaguely remembered that Silver City was once directly under the Giant King's Court and later served the Ancient Sun God.
Although Medici was also surprised that the city-state still existed, he didn't mind Lynn's obvious intention to turn the people of Silver City into future anchor points for the Lord of Mysteries.
But just because he didn't mind doesn't mean he wanted to get involved!
That's just asking for him to undermine Lord's plans!
