"Huh?" Klein was momentarily stunned, a little confused.
"Lin Ruo, you're also a member of the Quelaag Club?"
"Of course. In fact, not only the Quelaag Club, but I'm also a member of several high-class clubs in Backlund. Otherwise, how do you think I gather information on all the nobles and merchants in Backlund?" Lin Ruo curled his lips, smiling as he spoke.
He was speaking the absolute truth. To better collect intelligence on the noble royalty, he had indeed successfully infiltrated the various clubs in Backlund—this wasn't difficult for him. After all, even without mentioning the extraordinary Domain, Lin Ruo had Young Miss, a top noble, backing him. Wanting to join these clubs through her connections was too easy.
As for the Quelaag Club, because Doctor Aaron and that unlucky riding instructor were there, Lin Ruo had already visited more than once in his leisure time.
"That's right." Klein nodded, instantly understanding. He then thought of something else, looked at Lin Ruo, and asked with concern: "By the way, Lin Ruo, weren't you going to change your Sequence? Have you decided when you'll change it?"
"Huh?" Lin Ruo blinked, looked at Klein, and said: "Didn't I tell you?"
"What?" Klein already had a vague premonition.
"Oh, I forgot. I originally planned to tell you after seeing Benson and Melissa off, but then I ran into Leonard, and I forgot to tell you about it." Lin Ruo scratched his head, showing no embarrassment at all. Instead, he smiled brightly and said:
"I just went to change my pathway ! Actually, I'm already a cute Sequence 9 now."
"Ah!" Klein was truly stunned for a moment. He looked at Lin Ruo, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say. In the end, he could only ask with concern: "Nothing unexpected happened, right? How do you feel after changing your Sequence? Are there any problems with your body?"
"No accidents, it went smoothly. I'm no different from an ordinary Sequence 9 now. Oh, by the way, there's something I might need your help with later." Lin Ruo thought of his plan to use Sefirah Castle and the Unshadowed Crucifix to extract the iron-black glove, and quickly mentioned it.
No matter if he found a Lucky Judge later, this plan would most likely be used. After all, he would still need a Sequence 5 characteristic to concoct a potion for advancement in the future. Using an existing one was simpler than going out "hunting"—after all, Sequence 5 was no longer a common commodity. At that level, a Sequence 5 in a righteous God's church was definitely upper-middle class.
"The Unshadowed Crucifix combined with the gray fog has this effect?" Klein, who hadn't yet tried such a bold maneuver with the Unshadowed Crucifix, was clearly surprised. In an instant, he thought of various uses for this bold maneuver in his mind, then nodded and said: "No problem. Later, just give me the Unshadowed Crucifix and that Mystical Item from the Justiciar pathway."
"Thanks." Lin Ruo smiled, then said: "Aren't we going to the Quelaag Club? Let's go then!"
Klein was stunned for a moment. Although he was already used to Lin Ruo's erratic thinking, he still occasionally felt helpless, then nodded and said: "Alright."
Soon, the two, who were quick to act, took a trackless carriage to the Quelaag Club located in Hillston Borough.
Because it was Sunday, there were noticeably more people at the club than usual. Lin Ruo and Klein, familiar with the routine, got their food and brought their lunch to the dining area.
Lin Ruo's gaze swept over the many club members, pausing slightly when his eyes fell on Doctor Aaron, who was sitting alone at a dining table.
Lin Ruo then curled his lips.
It seemed a certain snake intended to meet him!
But did this also mean that the other party had already…
"Doctor Aaron?" Klein naturally noticed Lin Ruo's gaze, immediately becoming suspicious and asking in a low voice: "Is something wrong?"
Could Doctor Aaron have some problem?
"Just saw an acquaintance." Lin Ruo smiled meaningfully and said.
"Acquaintance?" Klein was stunned for a moment, and said: "Are you friends with Doctor Aaron?"
"No, I don't know the Doctor Aaron you're talking about, and acquaintance doesn't necessarily mean friend." Lin Ruo shook his head.
He and the little snake were definitely acquaintances. Considering the existence of Ouroboros, they must have interacted a lot before.
But whether they were friends was another matter.
However, despite this, Lin Ruo wasn't too worried about the danger of meeting the little snake. After all, from the way the other party had avoided him repeatedly, the little snake clearly knew him somewhat. If the other party had malicious intent towards him, they would have acted against him long ago.
Not doing so could only mean that the other party either had no ill will or had reservations. In any case, meeting once wouldn't be a big problem.
—Moreover, Lin Ruo stated that he trusted the contingencies he had left behind. For such a potential threat, he had no reason not to have made arrangements.

"Then…" Klein frowned, then immediately thought of something and quickly asked in a low voice: "Could it be a parasite?"
Seeing Doctor Aaron and saying he saw an acquaintance, but it wasn't Doctor Aaron, wasn't this just a replica of Leonard?
But Klein hadn't forgotten what Lin Ruo had said: "Of all the Marauders in the world, eight-tenths of the conscience belongs to Pallez alone, and the rest owe two-tenths." Although this was just teasing, it was enough to give Klein a clear understanding of the character of the general Thief population.
If Doctor Aaron was indeed parasitized, it was likely not a good thing.
Thinking of this, Klein's expression also showed some concern.
"Don't guess wildly." Lin Ruo shook his head, but kept him in suspense, saying: "I'll tell you the specific information later. Take me to meet Doctor Aaron, he's your friend, isn't he? Oh, and remember, right now I'm a Diviner who appears to be a doctor but is secretly proficient in mysticism. My alias is William."
Klein: ?
What was he up to now?
Completely confused about what Lin Ruo wanted to do, the real Diviner, Klein, could only suppress his curiosity and led Lin Ruo to Doctor Aaron's table, first greeting him: "Good afternoon, Aaron."
"Good afternoon, Sherlock, it's been a long time since I've seen you." Doctor Aaron's eyes instantly lit up, his expression slightly excited.
He was truly fed up with his bad luck. Now that he saw Sherlock, who might know someone in the mystical Domain, he was naturally excited.
Klein naturally didn't fail to notice Doctor Aaron's expression, which made him ponder more, guessing that Doctor Aaron had encountered some trouble, and in Aaron's mind, he might be able to provide a solution.
Was this related to the acquaintance Lin Ruo mentioned?
But his apparent identity was just a detective?
Klein was suddenly a little confused.
Doctor Aaron then immediately saw Lin Ruo next to Klein and couldn't help but ask: "Sherlock, who is this gentleman?"
