The next day, morning.
Lin Ruo, who had already tidied himself up, sat at the table eating freshly baked bread, contemplating his itinerary for the day.
He had many things to do today.
In the morning, he was going to meet with Mr. A to inquire about matters related to the Sage of Mysteries.
If possible, Lin Ruo also wanted to inquire about the situation of the Abrahams in detail, and by the way, find something for the members of the Aurora Order in Backlund to do, lest they get bored and cause trouble.
In the afternoon, he had an appointment with Fors, both for her new book and to inquire about the situation of the Abrahams.
In the evening, he had to go to the Bravehearts Bar to discuss with Sharron and the others the plan to deal with the pursuers from the Rose School of Thought.
"Tsk, I've really become a corporate slave.
Sure enough, it's still more leisurely in the historical projection…"
Lin Ruo took a bite of bread, feeling that he had already begun to miss the leisurely life in the historical projection.
He could persecute Roselle and digest potions, and because there was plenty of time, there was no urgency.
The historical projection was really a good place for a vacation.
"It's a pity that people always have to live in reality."
Lin Ruo shook his head, swallowed the last bite of bread, and took a sip of the slightly hot black tea in his cup.
Feeling full, he put his hands together and began to pretend to pray:
"Great God of War, symbol of iron and blood, master of turmoil and strife.
Are you there?
Come over if you are, I have something to ask you…"
That's right, the arrangement for the morning was to meet with Mr. A, and Lin Ruo reserved the morning time for Medici.
After all, he was still counting on Medici to be his bodyguard once, so he had to call him over and talk face to face.
And… thinking of what [He] in his memory had said, Lin Ruo felt a headache.
He originally didn't care about advancing to Sequence 0, so he was super frank when facing Medici, after all, there was no competitive relationship, but now he seems to have to grab the Red Priest's position…
"Little Black, looking at your expression, did you encounter some problem?
Why don't you tell me and make me happy."
Just then, a familiar voice rang out with a more familiar sarcastic tone.
Lin Ruo looked up and saw Medici's figure appearing on the glass window, and then flashing in front of him.
Lin Ruo raised an eyebrow, but this time he didn't directly reply sarcastically, but said, "Do you really want to know?"
The originally casual Medici paused.
He then pulled out a chair next to Lin Ruo and sat directly on it, but somehow managed to sit with the aura of a throne.
Medici looked at Lin Ruo, his tone seemingly casual: "Tell me, if you dare to say it, I dare to listen."
"Medici…" Lin Ruo sized up the person in front of him, and said with rare solemnity: "Do you have to advance to the Red Priest?"
In fact, Lin Ruo knew that he shouldn't bring up this topic now, but he still did.
There was no special reason, just that he felt that if he really decided to compete with Medici for the Red Priest's position, it would be too wrong to pretend that nothing was happening and use Medici as a tool.
Lin Ruo didn't like that, even if he couldn't really treat Medici as a close friend now, he didn't want to use him like that.
Hearing this, Medici was stunned for a moment.
He glanced at Lin Ruo, seemed to understand something, and suddenly laughed, saying:
"Little Black, you'd better think it over.
If you want to advance to the Red Priest, you have to start a war that sweeps across the entire continent."
"Can you do it?"
Not whether you can do it, but whether you can bring yourself to do it.
Lin Ruo: …
Good question, he really couldn't do it.
But if arranging the ritual in the historical projection is effective, I can do it.
"Don't change the subject, I'm asking you."
Lin Ruo, who was thinking about this headache-inducing matter again, decided to avoid it for a while.
This time, Medici didn't answer directly.
After a few seconds, he said:
"You know the answer, don't you?"
Lin Ruo was silent, he really knew the answer.
He knew that Medici would not give up.
After all, he was Medici, the former Angel of War, the sharpest sword of the Ancient Sun God.
How could he give up so easily?
"Tsk, it's really a pain in the ass."
Lin Ruo raised his hand and rubbed his temples.
Logically speaking, after such a conversation, he should be afraid that Medici would suddenly turn hostile and kill him, his competitor, but in reality, Lin Ruo really didn't have any nervous emotions now.
He had even begun to think about another matter.
The room fell silent, but the atmosphere wasn't very heavy, probably because neither of the two present intended to turn hostile because of the conversation just now.
After a minute or two of silence, Lin Ruo suddenly said:
"Medici, which do you think is better, the Arbiter or the Hermit?"
Medici: ?
Medici was stunned for a moment, and for a moment he didn't even follow Lin Ruo's train of thought, but he immediately understood and looked at Lin Ruo in disbelief: "You want to switch pathways?"
"I'm just considering which one is better."
Lin Ruo raised his hand and rubbed his temples.
It wasn't just a day or two since he wanted to switch pathways.
He had this idea before when he knew that he had to go through a process to advance to Sequence 0, after all, the Red Priest's advancement ritual was too pit .
It was just that he wasn't sure whether he could arrange the ritual in the historical projection, so Lin Ruo had temporarily dismissed this idea before.
Now that he was really about to advance to the Red Priest, and had to fight with Fire Pot, pushing these few iron allies to the opposite side, Lin Ruo's idea of switching pathways became even stronger.
The reason for considering the Arbiter and Hermit pathways was the result of analysis - he didn't want to touch the cowardly three, and it was best to stay away from the omnipotent five.
The Darkness Death Twilight was basically reserved by the Evernight Goddess, and with his current situation, it was obviously not good to forcibly interfere.
After excluding these, among the remaining pathways, apart from those that already had Sequence 0s, those with big problems and deep waters, and those that didn't conform to Lin Ruo's values, there weren't many left.
Even then, he had to consider Roselle, Ouroboros, Little Snake, and avoid another batch.
After picking and choosing, only the Arbiter and Hermit pathways were left.
In the end, Lin Ruo wanted to advance just to complete a ritual whose effect was unknown, and not to really pursue so-called power.
Naturally, he wouldn't use any means to pursue advancing to Sequence 0, even abandoning his friends.
Of course, there was actually another reason why Lin Ruo had such an idea - although there was no conclusive evidence, Lin Ruo actually had a feeling that he might not go crazy if he switched pathways.
This was not an empty guess, after all, he already had a precedent of jumping from Spectator to Hunter without going crazy, and "He" in his memory, who seemed so crazy that people suspected whether he was an Outer God, also gave Lin Ruo a lot of confidence.
"Anyway, the Red Priest pathway doesn't really fit my aesthetics, but the Seer pathway is quite to my liking, and the Arbiter is also good, just confirming my title of Judgement Angel…"
The more Lin Ruo thought about it, the more he felt it was great, and he even instinctively began to conceive a plan to hunt the Hidden Sage and the Hand of Order of the Loen royal family, when he heard Medici's slightly gnashing voice opposite him:
"Little Black, has your brain finally broken?"
"Or, should I continue to call you Little Lunatic."
Lin Ruo blinked, looked at Medici in front of him who seemed to be restraining his anger, and said, "I'm not crazy, I'm just too lazy to compete with you."
"If you really feel bad about it, help me when I grab other Sequence 0 positions in the future."
Although he didn't plan to switch pathways for Medici's sake, this obviously didn't prevent Lin Ruo from taking the opportunity to fleece a sheep.
