Klein ultimately accepted the revolver.

After all, Lin Ruo had already said this much; refusing again would be too affected. At worst, he could buy a suitable Beyonder weapon as a return gift when he had money in the future.

He didn't know what kind of weapon Lin Ruo liked to use, or perhaps a mystical item. However, given Lin Ruo's level, ordinary Beyonder weapons probably wouldn't be useful. Perhaps he preferred knowledge… Klein couldn't help but ponder.

Meanwhile, the lady who seemed to have a craftsman behind her took out another weapon with mystical effects that she had brought this time. It was a longsword with effects such as exorcism and purification.

Naturally, Lin Ruo and Klein had no need for it, so they didn't offer a price. Soon, the longsword was bought by someone else.

Time passed by, and transactions continued, but very few were successful. Most transactions failed, showing that most of the Beyonders attending the gathering had clear goals and wouldn't waste money and resources casually.

Lin Ruo also made a move once during the process, purchasing an extraordinary material, which was one of the auxiliary materials needed for the Pyromaniac potion.

When everyone's transactions were over, Old Man Eye of Wisdom began to arrange for people to leave, still one person every three minutes as before.

However, because Lin Ruo and Klein had come together, they were arranged to leave together.

Returning to the Bravehearts Bar through the kitchen's back door, Lin Ruo led Klein through the crowd. When passing the bar, he glanced and noticed that Maric, who had been sitting there drinking, was gone.

Lin Ruo didn't pay much attention to this. He led Klein out of the Bravehearts Bar, went to a deserted corner, and used Travel.

He first sent Klein back to Tingen, then returned to his own office.

"The main material is here. The strong liquor among the auxiliary materials can be the unused one from before, plus the material I just bought. That leaves two more… Well, there's another extraordinary gathering the afternoon after tomorrow. I'll take a look then." Putting today's gains on the table, Lin Ruo lazily stretched and a question popped into his head.

"But how should I act as a Pyromaniac…"

"I can't possibly act like a heartbroken Arsonist!" Lin Ruo smiled strangely, then glanced at the clock and decided to go to Saint Samuel Cathedral for tutoring first.

He couldn't neglect his studies no matter what.

Moreover, Lin Ruo actually quite enjoyed the feeling of knowledge gradually filling his mind. For him, being able to learn knowledge and enrich himself was a pleasure in itself.

From this point of view, he really wasn't a "Hunter" at all.

…

August 2nd, Thursday morning, inside the Nighthawks' alchemy room.

Klein was attentively watching Lin Ruo demonstrate how to make the Misfortune Amulet.

Although the first stage of special training had been completed and all the basic theoretical knowledge that needed to be learned had been learned, as the saying goes, learning is endless. Lin Ruo himself was still catching up on lessons, so Klein's related courses would naturally not stop. It was just that the things being learned began to gradually shift from basic knowledge to the more advanced extraordinary knowledge that ordinary low-sequence Beyonders could not even come into contact with.

— Strictly speaking, even when teaching basic knowledge before, Lin Ruo had taught Klein a lot of high-end knowledge that ordinary Beyonders might not even have the opportunity to come into contact with in their entire lives, let alone learn.

Knock, knock, knock!

At this moment, a knock suddenly sounded. Lin Ruo glanced at the door, quickly completed the final stroke of the amulet, and said:

"Come in."

"Sorry to disturb you." Dunn Smith pushed the door open. His gaze swept over Lin Ruo and Klein in turn, and said: "Your lesson may have to be suspended for a while."

He looked at Klein and said: "Klein, the people from the Holy Cathedral are here."

The people examining me are here? Klein's spirit tensed up immediately, and a feeling of nervousness and anticipation surged into his heart.

Finally, I can advance to Sequence 8 and become a "Clown"… This way, I will have real combat ability, plus the assistance of divination and the "Disdain" revolver, my combat power can be greatly improved…

Moreover, after advancing to Sequence 8, I can go to sea. I wonder what it's like there… Thinking of the bounty orders of those pirates he had seen before, Klein became more and more expectant of his upcoming advancement.

They came quite fast… Lin Ruo also raised his eyebrows. He glanced at the door thoughtfully, then smiled and asked:

"Who did the Holy Cathedral send?"

Dunn Smith didn't intend to keep him in suspense, and said in a low voice:

"The person in charge of this examination is Crestet Cesimir, one of the nine high-ranking deacons of the Nighthawks. Perhaps you know him, Your Excellency."

"Sword of the Goddess, huh…" Lin Ruo wasn't surprised, he just smiled and said: "I don't know him, but… he might know me."

"High-ranking deacon?" Klein, who was beside him, was very surprised at this moment.

As a Nighthawk, Klein naturally understood what a high-ranking deacon meant.

In the Church of the Evernight Goddess, the thirteen archbishops and the nine high-ranking deacons were already the high-level members of the church in the general sense. Among them, there were many powerhouses of high sequences, not to mention, more importantly, these twenty-two gentlemen and ladies were completely equal in terms of status, only following the oracle of the Evernight Goddess and only responsible to the Pope.

Speaking of which, Lin Ruo also seemed to only follow the oracle of the Evernight Goddess… but he wasn't a Nighthawk.

Could this high-ranking deacon be here because of him… Klein subconsciously began to consider this possibility.

At this moment, an unfamiliar voice rang from outside the door.

"I do know you, Your Excellency Lin Ruo."

Along with the voice, a strange man appeared before Lin Ruo and the others.

He was a man in a black trench coat and a white shirt, estimated to be in his thirties.

He had short, golden-brown hair, and his dark green eyes were like a moonless lake in the middle of the night. The collars of his shirt and trench coat were raised high, hiding his entire chin in the shadows.

It was worth noting that he was also carrying a silver-white metal box in his hand.

This person was the "Sword of the Goddess" Crestet Cesimir. Although his own strength was only Sequence 5, because he had obtained the approval of a sacred artifact, his combat power could be completely comparable to a demigod in a short period of time.

"Well, doesn't that mean I don't have to introduce myself?" Lin Ruo tilted his head, then smiled and said: "But I should still say—nice to meet you, Your Excellency Cesimir, please take care of me in the future!"

"Hello, Your Excellency Cesimir." Klein bowed.

"It is indeed the first time we have met, Your Excellency Lin Ruo. You are indeed as witty as His Excellency Saint Anthony said." Crestet Cesimir responded with a smile, his gaze falling on Klein again, and said: "Hello, Klein, are you Your Excellency Lin Ruo's student?"

Although he was asking Klein, Crestet Cesimir's words were obviously also meant to confirm with Lin Ruo.

Stu-, student… Klein subconsciously glanced at Lin Ruo, and saw the latter winking at him. The tension in his heart that had just arisen from seeing the high-ranking deacon immediately calmed down.

He looked at Crestet Cesimir, nodded solemnly, and replied:

"Yes, I am indeed Teacher Lin Ruo's student."

Although he hadn't formally become a disciple, and their usual interactions were very natural, and they even often teased each other, Klein never denied that he was Lin Ruo's student.

The other party taught him, protected him, and guided him. In any case, he could be considered a qualified teacher.

Hearing this, Crestet Cesimir nodded, with no unexpected expression, while Lin Ruo's smile became more and more gentle and bright, with full of gratification.
