After confirming that Klein was Lin Ruo's student, Crestet Cesimir didn't waste any time and began to assess Klein.
The first assessment was of Klein's potion digestion, which Klein naturally passed perfectly.
Secondly, after confirming that Klein knew about the Acting Method through his teacher Lin Ruo, he asked if he had shared it with others.
"I didn't directly tell them about the existence of the Acting Method, but I did share experiences with my teammates," Klein admitted frankly, as this matter couldn't be concealed at all.
"I hope to help them reduce the probability of losing control. As companions who will face danger together, I can't think of any reason to hide this from them. For this reason, I didn't tell the clerical staff."
Lin Ruo, who had been watching the drama from the sidelines, then said with a smile, "I never told Klein that the Acting Method needed to be kept secret."
The meaning of his words was naturally that if Klein sharing his experiences with his teammates was wrong, then it was his fault as a teacher for not explaining the situation in advance.
Anyway, if it really came down to it, he could just ask the Goddess for her opinion. The Favored were traditional, and he didn't publicize the Acting Method. Even Klein only hinted at it to the Nighthawks, so he wasn't worried at all.
"Your Excellency Lin Ruo, I don't mean to blame Klein," Crestet Cesimir said with a helpless smile. "Moreover, Klein's behavior can't be considered a mistake."
He looked at Klein and said with a leisurely smile, "To be honest, I'm very gratified that you are so willing to share your experiences with your teammates. It seems that although you haven't been a Nighthawk for long, your understanding of your companions is stronger than many people's."
"Well, but according to the Holy Cathedral's regulations, after today, you must swear to the Goddess that you will not tell others about the Acting Method, is that okay?"
Was this a pass of the assessment? Klein was overjoyed and nodded without hesitation:
"No problem."
He couldn't teach others the Acting Method, but there was still Lin Ruo, Justice of the Tarot Club, The Hanged Man, and others. Even if he really wanted to teach someone the Acting Method in the future, he could completely do it indirectly through them.
After receiving a definite answer, Crestet Cesimir naturally had Klein swear to the Goddess on the holy object. After Klein swore, because Klein already knew the Acting Method, Crestet Cesimir naturally wouldn't teach it again as in the original work, but instead talked about another matter.
"Transfer order? To send me to Backlund?" Klein looked at the document Crestet Cesimir handed him in astonishment. It clearly stated that he should report to the Saint Samuel Cathedral in Backlund after advancing to Clown.
Why so suddenly? Klein could be said to be completely confused. He suddenly thought of something and looked at Lin Ruo, only to find that the other party also had a look of astonishment, obviously not expecting this.
So it wasn't Lin Ruo who did it… Then what exactly is the reason?
Lin Ruo narrowed his eyes at this time and asked, "Your Excellency Cesimir, whose will is this?"
"This is the will of the Goddess," Crestet Cesimir said with his head lowered, his pious expression making it easy to see the difference between him and those two-faced traitors whose acting skills were not up to par. "Praise the Goddess!"
"Praise the Goddess!" Lin Ruo was startled, but he also lowered his head and drew a crimson moon on his chest to show his piety.
"Praise the Goddess!" Because Crestet Cesimir's words were too surprising, Klein, who was half a beat late, also hurriedly drew a crimson moon on his chest, while his mind was filled with thousands of thoughts and countless questions popped up.
The will of the Goddess? How could the Goddess notice such an ordinary Sequence 9 like me?
Could it be because of Lin Ruo?
No, it might also be because of that mysterious gray fog…
While Klein's mind was full of doubts, Lin Ruo couldn't help but think about why the Goddess suddenly made such a move.
Knowing the plot, he naturally wouldn't be surprised that the Evernight Goddess was paying attention to Klein. What he was really wondering was why the Evernight Goddess would personally issue an oracle to transfer Klein to Backlund.
Could it be because I killed Ince, and the Evernight Goddess was worried that Klein would stay in Tingen, so she simply took action herself?
It shouldn't be such a simple reason, right? Maybe there are other reasons I don't know…
Forget it, it's not a bad thing from the current point of view…
While the other two people in the room were confused, Crestet Cesimir, who had praised the Goddess, continued, "Klein, please return upstairs first and notify the other Nighthawks to come down one by one. I want to carry out the final step of the assessment."
"Okay." Although still full of doubts, Klein still got up and bid farewell in accordance with the etiquette of the Nighthawks.
Afterwards, including Dunn, the Nighthawks arrived in the alchemy room one by one. Lin Ruo watched from the sidelines as Crestet Cesimir talked to them one by one. The basic process was to first ask about Klein's situation, roughly to confirm it a second time, and then to have them swear to the Goddess on the holy object like Klein that they would not tell others about the Acting Method.
By the way, in this process, Crestet Cesimir did not explain to Dunn and others what the Acting Method was.
This led to the fact that although people who roughly understood the Acting Method, such as Dunn and Leonard, knew why they were swearing, some people who hadn't fully reacted to what the Acting Method was, were confused.
After all the Nighthawks of the Tingen Nighthawks team had talked and sworn, Crestet Cesimir called Klein back again.
Crestet Cesimir first congratulated Klein on passing the assessment and being able to advance to Sequence 8, and then told him not to indulge in the Acting Method. Although the wording was different, it was similar to the sentence "You are just acting", and he also told him to learn to resist temptation and control his emotions in order to better resist losing control.
After finishing the things he needed to tell him, Crestet Cesimir finally took out the materials needed to prepare the Clown potion from the box, as well as the parchment recording the Clown potion formula, and handed it to Klein.
And so, under the witness of a high-level member of the Church of the Evernight Goddess and a genuine Dear of the Goddess, Klein Moretti, an ordinary Sequence 9 Black Night True Dear, successfully advanced to Sequence 8.
Also, at the moment when Klein advanced to Sequence 8, Lin Ruo sensed that he had changed again.
First of all, the amount of time he could stay in Klein's side in spirit form was extended, and now he could stay for three hours a day.
Secondly, it was the change in his superpower.
The upper limit of Lin Ruo's superpower had increased again. If Lin Ruo could only maintain the ability to simulate Sequence 4 for 90 seconds before, then now he could maintain it for up to three minutes, directly doubling it.
Not only that, Lin Ruo also sensed something - originally, he could only simulate the ability of Sequence 4 at most. For abilities above Sequence 4, he could only simulate the aura and position, but now Lin Ruo could simulate the ability of Sequence 3.
It's just that the time he can maintain it is very short, probably only 30 seconds.
But even so, Lin Ruo's smile became brighter.
30 seconds of Sequence 3… Some pathways may not be able to do anything, but some pathways, such as a certain Scholar of Yore, can already do a lot.
But the only angel he is familiar with now is Mr. Azik… He still has to think about it in the long term!
