"I'm fine."
Lin Ruo said, raising his hand to wipe the tears from his face with his sleeve.
He didn't actually know why he was crying. In fact, he hadn't even realized he was crying until Bornova reminded him.
Only after wiping away the tears did Lin Ruo lower his head and look at the small metal box with patterns engraved on its surface, and some information had already appeared in his mind.
It had suddenly appeared just now. Lin Ruo guessed that this information was left to him by his past self.
The content of the information was only two things: first, he must advance to Sequence 0 before the end of the world comes. Also, like everyone else, he must follow the conventional route to digest the potion. The ritual that should be performed when taking the potion to advance must not be omitted, because this entire process from Sequence 9 to Sequence 0 is part of another ritual.
As for what kind of ritual it was, the information didn't say, but Lin Ruo's intuition told him it was very important.
The second piece of information was related to the metal box in his hand. The second piece of information told Lin Ruo that the metal box contained a key, and this key could open a certain door. The key to saving people lies within it.
However, there was no more specific information. It seemed that Lin Ruo would have to wait until he actually used the key to open the door to get more crucial information.
It must be said that these were two very shocking pieces of information, so shocking that Lin Ruo was a little dumbfounded.
However, because there was still an outsider present, Lin Ruo was not in a hurry to think about the deeper meaning of the information. He just looked up at Bornova and said, "I roughly know what this thing is… Perhaps it won't be long before I can bring your father back."
Bornova's eyes lit up immediately. It was obvious that Lin Ruo's words greatly cheered him up.
He couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Lin Ruo, is there anything I can do to help?"
"Well… not for the time being, but I will notify you later if there is anything I need." Lin Ruo said, and then remembered something, "By the way, I need a Savant potion, or can you provide it?"
Although it hasn't been determined whether Melissa will take the Savant path, it's always good to prepare the potion in advance.
Anyway, he's going to find Bornova's father, so what's it to take a Sequence 9 potion from him?
"Savant potion?" Bornova was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Lin Ruo to make this request, but then he nodded and said, "No problem, I will send the corresponding potion formula and materials to Uncle Lin Ruo by messenger at the latest tonight."
It's just a Sequence 9 potion. Even if he doesn't fleece the Church, Bornova can directly take it out himself.
"Thank you." After thanking him politely, Lin Ruo's gaze fell on the Arrodes mirror next to him, but he didn't move.
Noticing his gaze, Bornova immediately chose to excuse himself very tactfully, but before leaving, he mentioned, "I received a letter from my sister. She doesn't seem to want to see you for the time being."
Lin Ruo blinked when he heard this, and was not surprised. He just said, "I know… If she doesn't want to see me, then so be it."
If it weren't for the appointment being at St. Samuel's Cathedral, he wouldn't really want to see Bernadette Gustav.
After all, there is danger.
In fact, Lin Ruo still had some vigilance towards the Roselle family, otherwise he wouldn't have made an appointment at St. Samuel's Cathedral every time he met Bornova.
This is not cowardice, but following the will of the heart.
After Bornova left, Lin Ruo walked over and picked up the mirror. He saw that the surface of the ancient silver mirror with patterns suddenly rippled the moment he touched it, and then a few lines of ancient Hermes words appeared:
"Dear Mr. Lin Ruo, please forgive me for not being able to answer any questions related to yourself."
Oh ho!
Lin Ruo raised his eyebrows, but was not surprised at all.
After all, although Arrodes' origin is very problematic, directly involving the underground and even the Chaos Sea, and its position is extremely high in a sense, it is still limited.
As for Lin Ruo himself… Well, if Lin Ruo still felt that he was just an ordinary Judgement Angel, at most Sequence 1, with the combat power of a True God, before he remembered that memory just now, now Lin Ruo is confused about what his past self was.
After all, ordinary Kings of Angels can't talk to people across time, and they can't remove the corruption from Roselle.
Not to mention that advancing to Sequence 0, which may be a lifelong goal for others, is just part of another ritual for him. This is enough for Lin Ruo to realize that his past self may have a higher position than he imagined.
"Could it be that my past self reached the level of an Outer God? But that shouldn't be the case. If it was really an Outer God, many things wouldn't make sense. And how did I become an Outer God, relying on my ability to simulate?" Lin Ruo muttered in his heart, but his eyes still fell on Arrodes. He then smiled and said, "Oh, it seems you know very well what I am…"
While joking like this, Lin Ruo also thought about what questions he could ask Arrodes. If questions about himself cannot be asked, then he can only ask something else as a second choice.
After thinking for a while, Lin Ruo asked, "Does a mausoleum of Amon exist in Backlund?"
A word then appeared on the surface of the mirror:
"Yes."
After that, another line of ancient Hermes words appeared:
"Dear Mr. Lin Ruo, according to the rules, you also need to answer a question for me."
"Ask!" Lin Ruo was not surprised, but was a little curious about what this mirror would ask.
After all, in the original book, Arrodes' bad taste was still very impressive. Except when facing Klein or being restrained by Klein, the questions it asked were basically the kind that would cause people to die on the spot whether they answered or not.
For example, "What is your sexual orientation?"
Or, "Who is the other protagonist of your erotic dream?"
Or, "Who is the object you gave everything to, tried your best to please, but only ended up being discarded by?"
Although Lin Ruo felt that Arrodes shouldn't have the guts to ask him this kind of question, he was still very curious.
And under his expectant gaze, a sentence appeared on Arrodes' mirror surface:
"Dear Mr. Lin Ruo, can you take me to see my great master?"
Ah, this!
Is this the self-cultivation of the King of Simps?
Lin Ruo's expression instantly became subtle. Although he had known for a long time that Arrodes' simping power was unfathomable, the other party's performance still made him a little emotional.
However, Lin Ruo was not surprised that Arrodes knew of Klein's existence. After all, in the original book, when this mirror first appeared, before it had officially met Klein, it directly started simping.
It can only be said that it deserves to be a model of having everything in the end after simping to the end!
Douglas lost unjustly.
Lin Ruo sighed in his heart, but he didn't refuse. He nodded and said, "Okay."
Although he can't take it away directly, it's okay for him to borrow Arrodes for a few days and then return it. Of course, he can take it to see Klein.
Then Lin Ruo saw fireworks blooming on the mirror surface, and it was obvious that Arrodes was quite happy.
