Regarding the relationship between the Angel of Judgment and the Abraham Family, Fors naturally knew a little, which mainly came from Mr. Lawrence's popular science.
After all, the changes in the Abraham Family over the past thousand years or so have been inextricably linked to the Angel of Judgment. The reformists, in particular, are all outwardly followers of the Angel of Judgment. In this situation, since Fors was about to join the Abraham Family, she naturally had to understand everything about the Angel of Judgment and Abraham.
However, understanding was one thing; before this, Fors had actually only listened to it as background story.
After all, these matters were too far removed from her. Although she knew that the Chariot of the Tarot Club seemed to have a close relationship with the Angel of Judgment, and Mr. Fool even showed a tendency to ally with the Angel of Judgment, as a pitiful Sequence 9, Fors did not feel that she was qualified to participate in these matters. Besides secretly exclaiming in her heart, she could probably only be a spectator.
Now, suddenly hearing Rudy issue such a task, Fors instantly shivered, and her little brain started working. She tentatively asked, "Does that mean I need to test Mr. Dorian's attitude towards His Highness the Angel of Judgment?"
"You don't need to test him for now; you just need to naturally bring up the topic. Of course, considering your identity, you can actually directly ask Dorian if he believes in the Angel of Judgment."
Lin Ruo said with a smile. It might be problematic for others to ask such a question directly, but for Salted Fish, as someone who had just joined the Abraham Family and was Dorian's new student, asking could be fully explained as curiosity and wouldn't even seem too abrupt.
Of course, Lin Ruo's suggestion was mainly due to Salted Fish's intelligence. Although this guy wasn't stupid, she still lacked some acting skills. Instead of letting her put in a lot of effort for a performance full of flaws, it would be better to let Fors ask directly, which would make it harder to leave flaws.
"Ask directly… it seems possible, oh."
Fors thought about it and realized that Rudy's suggestion was indeed feasible.
However, she then thought of something else and asked, "But what if he lies to me? I might not be able to see through his lies…"
Fors was clearly very aware of her own observational abilities.
"It's okay; you just need to tell me what you observe, and I will make my own judgment about the rest." Lin Ruo's smile was gentle, but he didn't intend to tell Fors that he planned to secretly observe this meeting.
This was also for Fors's good. Otherwise, if he were really by her side, with Fors's acting skills, the possibility of her revealing herself in front of Dorian would be too great.
Since that was the case, it was better to simply let her know nothing.
"Oh…" Hearing Lin Ruo's words, Fors breathed a sigh of relief and also nodded honestly, "Are there any other tasks?"
"Another task is a long-term one, also related to the Angel of Judgment. The content is to observe and judge over a long period whether Dorian's faith in the Angel of Judgment is devout," Lin Ruo continued.
"Ah… Oh, oh, I understand." Fors was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly. She understood now; Mr. Fool wanted to confirm Mr. Dorian's faith in the Angel of Judgment.
Or perhaps this was at the instruction of the Angel of Judgment?
Fors didn't understand. Thinking of what Lawrence had mentioned about the Angel of Judgment not responding to the Abraham Family for a long time, she immediately had some guesses.
Could it be that the Angel of Judgment intended to protect the Abraham Family once again? But he wasn't sure if this Family was still devout, so he asked her to confirm…
If that were truly the case, it would be a good thing for Mr. Lawrence and the others!
As Fors was thinking this, she saw Rudy suddenly pull out a few items from his pocket and place them on the table: a silver whistle and a stack of Charms she didn't recognize.
"This whistle has a ritual for summoning my messenger solidified on it. Blowing it will summon a Sequence 4 level Spirit World creature. You can use it to write to me in the future."
Lin Ruo introduced unhurriedly.
"Sequence 4? Isn't that a demigod…" Fors almost blurted it out subconsciously. After speaking, she looked at the unperturbed Rudy and only felt that he became even more terrifying.
Lin Ruo continued to introduce the remaining Charms to her. He first pointed to a pile of them and said, "These Charms are respectively a Sleep Charm, a Purification Charm, a Healing Charm, and a Lightning Charm. They are all relatively practical Charms, three of each, which count as your manuscript fees for this period."
He was a generous person. Since he was forcing Salted Fish to write a new book, how could he not give some extra remuneration?
After all, if you want a horse to run, you have to let it eat grass. You can't rely entirely on intimidation; you still have to give Salted Fish some sweets.
Don't think these Charms are few. Beyonders of the Church, backed by large organizations, can get reimbursements and pray to deities, so they naturally don't lack Charms. But for a wild Beyonder like Fors, 12 Charms with different effects are already a considerable fortune.
As expected, right after Lin Ruo finished speaking, Fors showed a surprised expression, clearly very satisfied with the remuneration.
Lin Ruo smiled at her reaction, then pointed to a single Charm placed separately next to them and said, "This is a Sun Flare Charm, a type of Advanced Charm. After use, it is equivalent to a strike from a Sun pathway Sequence 4. Even a High-Sequence Beyonder would be injured by one, and against a Mid-Sequence Beyonder, if it hits, it can basically severely injure or even directly kill the opponent. This will be your trump card for the coming period."
Fors was stunned and immediately asked with a mix of surprise and panic, "Why give this to me… This is too valuable."
An Advanced Charm! Although she had never seen such a thing, the effect alone made her realize it was something she couldn't afford even if she sold herself.
If receiving the first pile of ordinary Charms as remuneration made Fors very happy, feeling that her life-saving ability had increased, receiving this latter Charm immediately made Fors afraid.
She was mainly afraid that this Advanced Charm was her life's ransom.
"Fors, I told you, I will guarantee your safety during the mission." Lin Ruo looked directly into Fors's eyes and said unhurriedly:
"I cannot always stay by your side, but at least with this Charm, you can solve most dangers, and if you encounter something you can't solve, you can also hold on until I arrive."
"Now, put it away. Abraham is not a very dangerous place for you, and I sincerely hope you won't need to use this Charm."
Ah, this.
Fors admitted that at this moment, she felt Rudy wasn't that terrifying anymore.
Although he was a fanatic, an avenger, and a Mandatory Maniac , he was indeed a… very good person!
Just as she was thinking this, Fors saw Rudy seem to think of something and look at her, asking:
"Oh, right, what about your previous new book? You're not going to stop writing it, are you…"
"Giving up halfway isn't very good, oh!"
The familiar smile, the familiar temperature, made Fors shiver with a familiar chill.
Ugh—Rudy, he's still so scary after all!
