"I..." Klein exhaled and shook his head, saying, "To be honest, I'm a bit hesitant..."
"Hesitation is normal, after all, this is a big decision that affects your whole life," Lin Ruo smiled and continued, "Let's go, we can't keep talking in the church. Although I don't mind, you'll probably be seen as crazy. Let's go somewhere you want and think it over slowly!"
Klein nodded immediately. He had already felt the sympathetic looks from other believers because of his "talking to himself."
The two then left the church together. After hesitating for a moment, Klein did not choose to go home but went to the "Zotlan Shooting Club" for shooting practice. Although the recent incident was resolved peacefully, it was undoubtedly a wake-up call for him.
While practicing shooting, Klein also thought about the pros and cons of a sequence that Dunn had mentioned and recalled what Emperor Roselle had said about regretting not choosing the Seer path.
Suddenly, he thought of something and looked in Lin Ruo's direction, stopping his shooting practice. He asked, "Lin Ruo, which sequence do you think I should choose?"
Lin Ruo smiled and said, "Actually, I have some other initial sequence potion formulas, but I still suggest you choose the Seer."
Klein couldn't help but ask, "Why do you say that?"
He was genuinely curious! Roselle had regretted not choosing to become a Seer, and now Lin Ruo was suggesting the same.
Is there something special about this sequence?
"Do you remember what I said about the existence of Sequence 0?" Lin Ruo's smile became meaningful. "The reason I suggest you choose the Seer is that the Seer path doesn't have a Sequence 0 yet."
No Sequence 0... Klein immediately recalled Lin Ruo's explanation of Sequence 0 and what Roselle had said about regretting choosing the "Seer," "Apprentice," and "Thief" paths. He hesitantly asked, "Does the Apprentice and Thief path also not have a Sequence 0?"
"Of course, did you learn this from Emperor Roselle's diary?" Lin Ruo nodded, his smile turning mischievous.
"You've read it too? Well, you know Roselle was a transmigrator, so you must have read his diary." Klein was initially surprised but then figured out the answer himself without waiting for Lin Ruo's response.
"I have indeed read Emperor Roselle's diary, and quite a lot of it. To be honest, some of the content is quite interesting," Lin Ruo said, not hiding the mischievous tone in his voice.
"Uh, like what?" Klein was immediately curious.
"For example, Roselle once wrote in his diary, 'The taste of a witch is really nice!'"
"Uh, what's wrong with that?" Klein was puzzled. His intuition told him that if it were purely a romantic history, Lin Ruo wouldn't be acting so strangely.
"Let me tell you a little occult knowledge. Over ninety percent of the witches in this world were once men. The Sequence 7 of this path is called Witch, and Sequence 9 is called Assassin." Lin Ruo's smile widened as he revealed Roselle's secret.
He also recalled an extra chapter he had read, "In Modern Times," and mischievously said, "Honestly, the name of Sequence 9 is quite deceptive, right? If I hadn't had any other choice back then and only knew the name, I might have chosen it too!"
Klein fell silent.
On one hand, he was shocked by Roselle's taste, and on the other, he suddenly realized that if he only looked at the name and didn't consider other factors, he might have chosen "Assassin" too.
And "Assassin" would later become "Witch"... That's too much!
Klein couldn't help but cover his face.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore!" Lin Ruo suppressed his mischievousness and said seriously, "Since you need to choose a sequence, I have some understanding of the three sequences you can choose from. Let me briefly explain their future paths to you!"
Since they had nothing else to do, Lin Ruo decided to use this time to educate Klein on some extraordinary knowledge and promote the Seer path.
Klein immediately became serious as well and said, "Please go ahead."
...
This time, Lin Ruo didn't stay with Klein for long.
To be more precise, after explaining the future paths of the Seer, Corpse Collector, and Secret Peeker sequences to Klein, he quickly returned to Backlund.
Fortunately, Lin Ruo was used to this. He calmly got up from the chair and planned to continue with his tasks.
So, Lin Ruo directly picked up a pile of newspapers that the original owner had ordered and found the "Backlund Morning Post." He was looking for an advertisement from the Ernst Trading Company.
Having read the original work, Lin Ruo knew that if the "Backlund Morning Post" had an advertisement from the Ernst Trading Company, it meant that there would be an extraordinary gathering hosted by the Eye of Wisdom at 8 PM the next evening.
This was a gathering that Klein, during his Sherlock period, had always attended. The organizer's true identity was the great detective Isengard Stanton, a Sequence 7 "Detective" from the Church of Knowledge and Wisdom.
Although only Sequence 7, Isengard Stanton had many extraordinary items and could even temporarily fight against a Sequence 5 of the Demon path in the original work. Moreover, because of his background in the Church of Knowledge and Wisdom, Isengard Stanton had a wealth of occult knowledge and many connections.
Lin Ruo naturally planned to attend this gathering. On one hand, it was another path to explore, and on the other, based on the information revealed in the original work, Isengard Stanton clearly knew about the Hunter path and even had the formula for Sequence 9 of the Hunter path. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bought the extraordinary characteristics of the Hunter from Klein.
Combining this with the fact that Anderson, who also came from the Church of Knowledge and Wisdom, was on the Hunter path and had reached Sequence 5, Lin Ruo had reason to believe that the Eye of Wisdom had the subsequent potion formulas for the Hunter path.
Of course, even if he didn't, Lin Ruo wouldn't be too disappointed. After all, having more connections and channels might come in handy in the future!
Lin Ruo's search was not in vain, as he did find the advertisement from the Ernst Trading Company in the "Backlund Morning Post," which meant there would be an extraordinary gathering at the Brave Bar the next night.
Lin Ruo knew the password needed to attend this gathering, but he couldn't just show up without any introduction. After all, he knew that the organizer, Isengard Stanton, had a good idea of who attended the gatherings. In this situation, attending without an introduction could cause unnecessary trouble. It was better to find someone to introduce him.
And Lin Ruo knew that the person who could introduce him to the Brave Bar gathering was a man named Kaspars.
