"Mr. Azik, actually, I have a matter I'd like to ask for your help with."
"What is it?" Azik looked at Lin Ruo, his voice low and gentle as he asked.
"It's like this, I plan to hunt a demigod from the Jacob family. She is Sequence 4 of the Seer pathway, currently in a weakened state, located in a manor outside Backlund. You also know that my current condition isn't very good. If I really make a move, it's hard to guarantee that there won't be any accidents, so I hope to ask for your help. If the hunt goes smoothly, you just need to watch from the sidelines. If an accident occurs during the hunt, I hope to get your assistance."
"Of course, I will pay a reward. You can also refuse if you don't want to participate in this matter."
Lin Ruo said unhurriedly. The reason why Hazel's rat demigod, that scum teacher, is in a manor outside Backlund is naturally the result of Lin Ruo's intentional guidance these past few days. After all, even a demigod with low health isn't so easy to deal with. If I really make a move in the city, once an accident occurs, there will be a lot of casualties. Lin Ruo will naturally avoid this from happening.
—By the way, a few days ago, Lin Ruo already reported the Desire Apostle from the original work. The Nighthawks of Backlund quickly took action and achieved great success, killing the Desire Apostle and his dog on the spot.
The reason for inviting Mr. Azik is also because Lin Ruo is worried about accidents. After all, the rat demigod is indeed low on health, but Lin Ruo and Pallez' condition isn't that much better either. It's natural to add some insurance.
Moreover, Lin Ruo is actually a little worried that the situation from the original work will occur, where he hunts a rat demigod and gets an Amon avatar as a buy-one-get-one-free deal. It's always safer to call more people.
As for whether the official Beyonders will explode afterward, cough, Lin Ruo can't control that.
Azik was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting that the help Lin Ruo was talking about would be this. Then, he nodded and said, "Okay, as for the reward… if you find any clues related to me, remember to tell me."
This reward is basically the same as not having one.
"Mr. Azik, won't you ask why I want to hunt that demigod?" His quick agreement made Lin Ruo stroke his chin and ask.
"I believe you must have your reasons…" Azik said with a gentle smile, "What is the approximate time of the action?"
"It should be these two days, but the specific time hasn't been determined yet, because this isn't just my matter. There is another person participating in the hunt… I'll probably have to wait until it's confirmed before I can write a letter to notify you." Lin Ruo replied, also planning to return to Tingen and see Grandpa Pallez again. He has accumulated many questions he wants to ask during this time.
"Okay, I will be operating in Backlund recently. If you need anything, write me a letter, and I can get there quickly." Azik nodded slightly, his voice low and gentle.
"By the way, Mr. Azik, would you like to have dinner together? I know a very good restaurant." Lin Ruo, feeling even better after successfully inviting Azik to participate in the hunt, glanced at the clock and said casually.
Azik also glanced at the clock, then nodded and said, "Okay."
…
August 29th, Tuesday, Tingen.
Early in the morning, a special guest visited the Blackthorn Security Company.
"Good morning, Leonard. I heard you submitted a special application to advance to Sequence 7?"
Inside the underground alchemy room of the Blackthorn Security Company, Lin Ruo greeted Leonard, who had hurried over, with a gentle smile, and then asked.
"Good morning, Your Excellency Lin Ruo." Leonard first greeted him, then, hearing Lin Ruo's words, scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "Yes, yes, I used the acting method that Klein shared with us last time as an excuse to explain the reason for digesting my Sequence 8 potion and submitted a special application for advancement."
"I plan to apply to join the Red Gloves after advancing to Sequence 7."
"Hmm?" Lin Ruo raised his eyebrows, looked at him with a smile, and said, "Not bad, I thought you would just be a salted fish forever. I didn't expect you to be quite hardworking, not letting me down."
"Keep it up, you are the protagonist of the era!"
Although he had been teased several times, Leonard obviously hadn't developed resistance yet. Hearing this, his face flushed red again. He coughed lightly, forcibly changing the topic and saying, "Your Excellency Lin Ruo, are you here to see the old man?"
While saying this, Leonard couldn't help but think of the last conversation between Lin Ruo and Pallez Zoroast. Although there were many things he didn't quite understand at the time, that feeling of "I don't understand, but I'm deeply shocked" still lingered in Leonard's mind.
"Yes." Lin Ruo nodded and said, "I'm here this time to fulfill my previous promise, which is the matter of hunting the Jacob family's demigod. I've almost finished preparing on my side… I want to ask Mr. Pallez when he plans to take action?"
"So it's about this matter…" Leonard suddenly understood, also remembering the previous agreement between Lin Ruo and Pallez Zoroast. Then, he seemed to hear something, remained silent for a while, and said, "The old man said he needs some preparation, but he can take action tomorrow."
Lin Ruo nodded, then said, "Mr. Pallez, besides the matter of hunting the Jacob family's demigod, I also have some questions I want to ask you."
"In your impression, what is the relationship between me and Mr. Door?"
Who is Mr. Door?
Leonard, who didn't know much about these secrets, was immediately curious, and then he heard Pallez Zoroast's old voice in his mind:
"Your relationship with Abraham isn't bad… Maybe because you both have the ability to travel, you sometimes travel together. You seem to have a lot in common in this regard."
"Even if you seemed to have some conflicts with Abraham later because of the Blood Emperor, you still had contact with each other after that."
Abraham is Mr. Door?
While speculating, Leonard, as a qualified question-and-answer machine, repeated this passage.
The relationship isn't bad, and they even travel together… In other words, my relationship with Mr. Door should be quite good!
Tsk, the me in the Fourth Epoch really had a "social butterfly" attribute!
But in that case, how did Mr. Door end up in his current situation…
Lin Ruo narrowed his eyes, then asked, "Where was I when Mr. Door was sealed?"
Although he wanted to ask about Mr. Door being corrupted, this after all involved Outer Gods. Considering his own safety and Leonard's safety, Lin Ruo changed to a more conservative question.
"I don't know… During that time, I didn't have much energy to pay attention to external affairs." Pallez Zoroast replied, his voice old.
Leonard quickly repeated this passage.
