"After all, unlike some people, I have many friends."
As soon as Lin Ruo said this, Medici's smile froze, then returned to normal, and said, "I'm starting to think that your decision to give up the Hunter pathway was a mistake."
"That's because you haven't heard a saying: the good seedlings for Hunters are usually in other pathways." Lin Ruo said leisurely, then pinched his chin, with a hint of doubt, "So why did I open a new Hunter account for myself?"
If the title of Angel of Judgment was really because "He" foresaw that he would embark on the Judgment pathway, then what happened to him becoming a Hunter after waking up with amnesia?
Even if this matter is purely him overthinking, and "He" didn't foresee that far, in the situation where he must hold the ritual step by step to advance to Sequence 0, "He" shouldn't have arranged for him to take the Hunter pathway!
Firstly, he couldn't accept the Red Priest's Godhood ritual. Secondly, based on his relationship with Medici, there was no way he would be arranged to take the Hunter pathway and compete with Medici.
Although it wouldn't be difficult for him to wash the account and start over, wouldn't that clearly waste time and energy? Why would he arrange it this way?
Strange, what exactly is this…
Lin Ruo frowned. Regarding this strange situation, he currently leaned towards two possibilities. One is that there was some special deep meaning in his arrangement for himself to take the Hunter pathway, but the meaning is currently unknown.
The other possibility is that he didn't actually arrange for himself to take the Hunter pathway before the amnesia, but was interfered with by something or some accident occurred, which led to him ultimately becoming a Hunter.
Which one could it be… Lin Ruo, unable to figure it out, picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of hot tea, took a sip, and looked at Medici again, saying, "Although I probably don't know as many people as I used to, I can still pull in some helpers. I might not have a complete Sequence 1, but I should still be able to find Sequence 2s."
For example, Bornova, for example, Arianna.
The former can be won over by using her father as a reason, while the latter is an exchange of benefits with the Evernight Goddess—Lin Ruo doesn't mind owing the Evernight Goddess a favor in exchange for Medici's favor.
He also believes that the Evernight Goddess is willing to give him this favor.
"Forget it, I don't need help from a half-crippled guy like you." Medici unexpectedly rejected his proposal. The former Angel of War's tone was as provocative as ever, "You should save your favors for yourself, after all, I'm not like you, having to shake people from all over the world just to snatch something from those mere Augustuses."
Lin Ruo raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, yet not so surprised, leisurely took a sip of tea, and said, "There's no way around it. Who asked me to be just a weak, pitiful, and helpless Sequence 6? Soon I won't even be Sequence 6 anymore. What else can I do besides shaking people!"
After saying this self-deprecatingly, Lin Ruo looked at Medici and said, "So, when I hunt that Augustus in the future, will you come?"
Medici looked at him and said almost without hesitation, "I'll go over and help you collect your corpse."
Tsk… Lin Ruo didn't know how to evaluate Medici's behavior, because when he heard these words, Lin Ruo knew that Medici had agreed.
So Lin Ruo casually replied with a sarcastic tone, "Remember, don't cremate it."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely burn you to ashes." Medici "guaranteed" this, "And I'll help you scatter them into the sea."
Lin Ruo glanced at Medici upon hearing this, knowing that the other party probably learned this from him, and didn't care. He just said, "I'm not sure how long it will take me to digest the potion, but the action against the Augustuses should be next year."
"We'll talk about the specific time of action when the time comes."
Having the idea of hunting is one thing, but when it comes to hunting the Hand of Order of the Augustus family, it is natural to consider it carefully.
Not to mention anything else, if you can't even find the person, then you can only hunt loneliness.
But when George III holds the ritual next year, there should be a chance… Lin Ruo thought, then suddenly laughed.
I haven't even switched pathways yet, and I'm already thinking about hunting Sequence 1 of the neighboring pathway.
He looked at Medici next to him again, feeling a little emotional, "Having friends at too high a level really makes people swell."
If he didn't know a bunch of Sequence 2s and Sequence 1s, he definitely wouldn't have this idea.
While feeling emotional, Lin Ruo silently pushed the plan to hunt the Hand of Order to the bottom of the execution list. It's not that he doesn't plan to do this, but Lin Ruo feels that his top priority now is to switch pathways first.
Thinking about things so far in the future too early is meaningless.
However, pulling in a helper in advance is still worth being happy about… Lin Ruo thought this way, looked at Medici, and asked:
"Medici, do you know about the Godhood ritual of the Justiciar pathway?"
Considering that Night Emperor Trunsoest, who switched to the Justiciar pathway during the Four Emperor War, once switched to the Justiciar pathway with the help of the Six Gods and became a Judge, Lin Ruo decided to first seek advice from Medici.
In case the other party knows, he won't have to ask the Evernight Goddess later.
"I'm not too clear about this." Medici shook his head, his smile becoming unrestrained, and said, "What's wrong, are you worried that the Justiciar's ritual will be as unacceptable to you as the Red Priest's?"
"Or what else?" Lin Ruo obviously didn't mind admitting this.
"Tsk, Lin Ruo, are you a baby staying in an ivory tower?" Medici's tone was as sarcastic as possible, "Oh, I forgot, you really are."
Lin Ruo glanced at Medici, almost subconsciously replying sarcastically: "A baby staying in an ivory tower is better than wandering outside, but being cooked into a hot pot of evil spirits, isn't it?"
Actually, after the words came out, Lin Ruo already regretted it a bit, after all, it's unkind to poke at people's wounds.
But he really couldn't help it, he's used to arguing with Medici.
And although it wasn't the first time this topic was mentioned, Medici was obviously still concerned about this matter. His smile paused slightly, and he said, "With that mouth of yours, you really shouldn't switch pathways."
Then Medici seemed a little impatient and said, "Do you have anything else to ask me this time? If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. Don't really think that this great me is as idle as you are."
No, I'm not idle, my schedule today is overflowing.
Lin Ruo said in his heart, seeing that Medici was somewhat concerned, but didn't seem to be really angry, he breathed a sigh of relief and also remembered the original intention of calling Medici over, and opened his mouth to say:
"Actually, there's one more thing I want to ask you for help with."
"What is it?" Medici looked like he was saying, "Speak quickly."
"I'm going to meet a Sequence 3, but I'm not sure if I'll fight with the other party, so I want to ask you to help me hold the fort." Lin Ruo said truthfully.
"That's it?" Medici looked at him.
"Yeah." Lin Ruo nodded, considering that he had just poked at Medici's wound, he decided to take the initiative to give him a way out, "After all, among the people I know, you're the only one I trust to help with this."
"Tsk!" Medici tsked, but he was obviously pleased with these words, but didn't forget to mock, "So what's the use of you making so many friends? In the end, when you encounter something, you still have to ask me for help."
His words seemed sarcastic, yet seemed to imply something.
Lin Ruo blinked his eyes and said, "But aren't you my friend too?"
Medici paused. He looked at Lin Ruo, then suddenly sneered and said, "The unluckiest thing this great me has ever done in this life is to become your friend."
He stood up and said, "When is the meeting? If the time is not right, I may not have time to come over."
