Of course, joking aside, Lin Ruo was still pleased that Klein could so efficiently perform spirit channeling on the corpse, using a combination of dream divination and spirit channeling to obtain the Clown potion formula and the Magician potion formula, right after killing someone.
Mr. Fool is growing up very quickly, indeed worthy of being the future Lord of the Mysteries… Lin Ruo pinched his chin, feeling that the future was quite promising.
Right, now that Old Neil is quarantined, will someone still lead Klein to that Beyonder 'black market' in Tingen from the original story?
Lin Ruo suddenly thought of a very crucial issue. Although Klein is currently still a Nighthawk, and can count on the church for reimbursement after advancing to Clown after digesting the Seer potion, as an auxiliary, the materials Klein needs for various practices on weekdays cannot be solved by reimbursement alone. He has to buy some himself.
I'll ask about it later…
Thinking this way, Lin Ruo's gaze fell on Klein again, who had already completed the search of the corpse with Dunn Smith. As in the original story, they found bizarre items such as paper flowers, handkerchiefs, playing cards, and glass shards, a wallet containing about ten pounds, and a notebook.
That was the notebook of the Antigonus family!
Lin Ruo's gaze fell on the notebook, and he saw Dunn Smith open the notebook almost without hesitation, seemingly to check the contents inside.
Seeing this, Lin Ruo couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
This was abnormal, Lin Ruo knew.
Although Dunn Smith was indeed forgetful, and his catchphrase was basically 'There's one more thing,' making people worry if he was prematurely aging, as the captain of a Nighthawks team, Dunn Smith's rigor and quality were beyond question. He might forget unimportant things, but he would never forget important things.
And before this, Lin Ruo had already reminded Dunn Smith that reading the Antigonus family's notebook might be secretly contaminated. Logically speaking, Dunn Smith should not have forgotten this no matter what.
Then the only explanation is… Dunn Smith was affected by 0-08.
Of course, Lin Ruo was not surprised by this, nor did he say anything to remind him.
After all, the contamination of the Antigonus family's notebook is not a big deal in itself. Its role in the original story was just to make the captain's condition worse, leading to a wrong choice when facing Megos, who was pregnant with the offspring of an evil god.
And Lin Ruo never intended to let Ince complete his script.
In fact, not to mention letting Ince complete the script, as long as he confirms Megose's condition tomorrow, he will make that dog Ince die within the next week if the conditions are right!
Lin Ruo has always been very clear that the most suitable way to deal with opponents of the Fate school is to strike quickly, sending the opponent out of the game in the simplest and most brutal way before they complete their layout.
"No problem." Dunn Smith also finished checking the notebook at this time. He then closed the notebook and held it firmly, then looked at Lin Ruo and asked, "Your Excellency, do you have any arrangements for this notebook?"
Dunn Smith would not usually ask Lin Ruo, this Blessed, about the affairs of ordinary Nighthawks, but the Antigonus family's notebook was obviously a special case.
On the one hand, Lin Ruo, as a Blessed, clearly knew a lot about this Antigonus family's notebook. On the other hand, it was deeply connected to Klein, and Klein was obviously being specially watched by Lin Ruo.
It was precisely because of this that Dunn Smith asked this question.
"I don't have any arrangements. In the next few days, you should store it behind the Chanis Gate in Tingen, and wait for someone from Backlund to come!" Lin Ruo smiled and replied.
Dunn Smith nodded, then looked at Klein and said, "Klein, I know you have some connection with this notebook and should be very curious about its contents, wanting to find out what happened in the past, but it is, after all, a Level 1 Sealed Artifact, and you are not yet qualified to read it. I hope you can understand."
Hearing this, Klein was immediately disappointed, but also felt fortunate.
He really wanted to read the Antigonus family's notebook again, wanting to find out the cause of death of the original owner and Welch and Nadine, but he also felt that this ancient object was full of misfortune and always brought disaster, so he didn't dare to touch it.
Now that he has confirmed that this notebook will be handed over to the church headquarters and will be strictly sealed, and he does not have to consider whether to read it because his confidentiality level is not enough… After all, he cannot read it at all, which reduces some entanglement.
It's the best choice… Klein secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly thought of something, lowered his head and began to examine himself, and then his face almost collapsed.
Because at this moment, Klein's suit, worth several pounds, had become dirty because of the rolling and the rain, and had even rubbed out five or six places that needed to be repaired.
For Klein, who was currently so poor that he had to deliberate for a long time to buy a suit, it was simply a bolt from the blue.
"Haha!" Lin Ruo, who had been paying attention to Klein, couldn't help but laugh when he saw this. He, who could completely guess Mr. Fool's psychological activities, then said, "Don't show such an expression as if the sky has fallen. Don't forget the first lesson I taught you… You must know that, generally speaking, the losses of Nighthawks in missions can be reimbursed."
Klein was stunned, then his eyes lit up and asked, "Really, Captain?"
Dunn Smith:? ? ?
Did I hear something strange?
Is it the meaning I understand?
Full of question marks, he instinctively felt that the Blessed might have taught Klein something strange. He glanced at the two of them, and finally nodded without asking anything, and said:
"The losses in the mission can indeed be reimbursed."
Klein's mood almost became beautiful all of a sudden. He, who was still so poor, almost instinctively thought: Well, this suit can be washed well, repaired, and can still be worn, and it is still decent enough… When the reimbursement fee comes down, I can buy another set to form a rotation…
While his thoughts were diverging, the Punishers on the other side of the villa also came to this side, one of whom was carrying a knocked-out man, who was Ray Bieber.
Lin Ruo then entered the hidden state again before the other party arrived.
After the two sides converged and exchanged information, searched the villa together, and had a friendly discussion, the Punishers left after handing Ray Bieber, this prisoner, to Dunn Smith.
After all, they were just here to help.
And after the Punishers left, Dunn Smith, who had packed everything up, also took Klein and the unconscious Ray Bieber on the carriage.
As for the aftermath, someone will naturally take care of it.
