Roselle felt like he had opened the door to a new world.
After witnessing those who could summon beams of light from their hands leave with the corpses of "monsters," Roselle looked at Lin Ruo beside him with a somewhat hesitant and excited expression, who was hiding in the shadows with him to watch the show.
If he had felt that the person in front of him was not mysterious at all and did not look like a Seer, now Roselle was completely convinced that the other party was indeed a brilliant Seer.
Even Lin Ruo's casual divination before was now actively interpreted by Roselle as the demeanor of an expert, because he was too powerful, so he didn't need any fancy things, and returned to simplicity.
"What? You don't think I'm a liar now?" Lin Ruo naturally couldn't fail to notice Roselle's gaze, and immediately chuckled.
"No, how could I think you're a liar?" Roselle said with a hearty laugh, thick-skinned after his previous thoughts were exposed, and then, remembering something, he introduced himself: "By the way, Esteemed Master, my name is Roselle, Roselle Gustav, what should I call you, Sir?"
Although there was no word for "Master" in Intis, there was a similar meaning, so Roselle naturally used it.
After all, one doesn't hit a smiling face, and Roselle was still hoping to obtain knowledge related to extraordinary power from the other party.
"Don't call me Master, I'm called Rudy, just a passing occult enthusiast," Lin Ruo replied with a smile, looking at Roselle in front of him, and said: "If you want to learn some occult knowledge from me, I don't mind giving you some popular science, but this is not a good place to communicate, is it?"
"Perhaps we can leave this forest and talk."
Roselle's eyes lit up, both happy that he could learn occult knowledge from Lin Ruo, and glad that he could finally end his lost fate.
Of course, Roselle wasn't completely without vigilance in his heart, after all, Lin Ruo's appearance was too coincidental and his attitude too ambiguous.
However, curiosity about extraordinary power, as well as the sense of superiority and alienation from the world as a transmigrator, quickly suppressed that vigilance.
Lin Ruo, on the other hand, fiddled with the branches in his hand and soon led Roselle to the edge of the forest, where they encountered the servants who were looking for Roselle.
"Oh, Young Master, that's great, you're okay!" A guy who was probably a male servant greeted Roselle at once, his expression even more excited.
This was not surprising, after all, if something really happened to Roselle, none of them servants would be able to escape punishment.
"Of course I'm okay, what could happen to me!" Roselle waved his hand, dismissed the male servant, and gestured to Lin Ruo, saying: "This is Mr. Rudy, my friend, he will be a guest at home, you prepare."
After speaking, he thought of something, and looked at Lin Ruo nervously, saying: "Uh, Mr. Rudy, you shouldn't mind being a guest at my house, right?"
"Of course I don't mind," Lin Ruo smiled, he certainly didn't mind being a guest at Roselle's house, after all, he would have to go sooner or later.
If he could directly confirm what the object bearing the traces was in this historical projection, he could spend the next time more freely.
And so, a group of several people began their return journey.
Lin Ruo also took this opportunity to observe the social customs of the current era.
If the real world was the steam age opened by Roselle, the age of machinery and industry, then this era when Roselle had just transmigrated and hadn't done anything yet, undoubtedly resembled the Middle Ages depicted in knight novels.
Everything seemed slow, with the slow rhythm unique to the old era, the streets were not clean, and in some streets, a faint stench could be smelled, but because there was no corruption from industry, the sky was very clear.
Everything here seemed different from reality, and yet everything seemed the same, such as the clear gap between civilians and nobles, and the church that could be seen from afar.
The Intis Republic mainly believes in the Eternal Blazing Sun and the God of Steam and Machinery, of course, now the God of Steam and Machinery is not called by this name, but is called the God of Craftsmen, and the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery is also called the Craftsmen Church.
Even considering that the God of Craftsmen has been a god for some time now, but the potion digestion doesn't seem to be much, combined with the various information revealed in the original book, Lin Ruo can reasonably speculate that the Craftsmen Church of this era is probably slightly weaker compared to the other six orthodox god churches.
And the turning point of everything is probably Roselle, the Son of Steam!
Lin Ruo looked at Roselle, who was also in the carriage, and suddenly had some wonderful ideas.
For example, what would happen if Roselle didn't join the Craftsmen Church?
Would another person appear and open the era of the industrial revolution?
Lin Ruo felt that it probably would, but the time would probably be much later.
Maybe the God of Craftsmen wouldn't be able to digest the potion until the end of the world.
"Uh, is there something on my face?" Roselle asked, feeling uneasy from being stared at.
"No, I just thought of some things," Lin Ruo naturally couldn't tell Roselle that he was thinking about another possibility in history, and smiled perfunctorily, then changed the subject and said, "You are a noble, right?"
"Yes," Roselle nodded, although the Gustav family's status was not as good as their ancestors, it couldn't be said that they were declining, belonging to the kind of noble with a certain status who could still enter White Maple Official and attend the ball held by His Majesty the King.
From this point of view, it must be said that Roselle was quite lucky, this background was much better than Klein's, and it was much easier to come into contact with the extraordinary and embark on the path of the extraordinary.
"As a noble, it is actually much easier for you to possess extraordinary power than ordinary people, you just need to pay a little price," Lin Ruo said slowly.
"What price?" Roselle asked quickly.
"For example, a little freedom..." Lin Ruo said unhurriedly, "Whether it is the Craftsmen Church or the Eternal Blazing Sun Church, they all possess true extraordinary power. With your identity, if you are willing to join, neither church will most likely refuse, but after joining, you will be restricted and need to become a guardian or something, like those people you saw today, fighting against monsters, wild Beyonders, and heretics."
This was the truth, just like Justice Audrey, if she was willing, she could join the Nighthawks or the Machinery Hearts, or the Punishers, it was really not difficult for nobles to enter the extraordinary system of the church, they just needed to pay a little price.
But this was what many nobles were unwilling to do.
For the nobles, instead of joining the church system, it was better to find their own channels to become wild Beyonders, or join the military system.
After all, it was not difficult to see from the various things reflected in the original book that many nobles in the Fifth Epoch, the era when the gods did not appear, were completely ignorant of the strength of the church.
