"… … Mr. Pallez, what are your thoughts on saving those people in the book?"
"I do have some thoughts… I roughly know how to solve their problems, but I can't do it now… I'm too weak now." Pallez Zoroast replied, he clearly noticed that Lin Ruo said "them" instead of "him," but Pallez didn't refute it, and instead followed Lin Ruo's words:
"At least I need some replenishment before I have the strength to save them…"
Replenishment? What replenishment? After the rest just now, Leonard, whose brain was finally no longer so overloaded, became a little curious, thinking while relaying these words to Lin Ruo.
"I said, I will provide you with some help… on the premise of not harming the innocent." Lin Ruo was obviously not surprised by Pallez Zoroast's answer, he curled his lips and said:
"As far as I know, there is a descendant of the Jacob family in Backlund, a severely injured Sequence 4. I can help you hunt her, so you should be able to recover a part after eating her—anyway, that guy is not a good thing, being eaten by you can be considered deserved and a contribution to this world."
The descendant of the Jacob family that Lin Ruo mentioned is naturally the rat demigod in the original book whose fate was replaced by Amon. Lin Ruo had no psychological burden to hunt her at all, after all, it is not difficult to see from the original book that the other party is really not a good thing—otherwise, as Hazel's teacher, she would not teach her anything serious, completely treating her as reserve food, and even trying to trap Fors, the salted fish.
As for how Lin Ruo determined that the other party must be in Backlund now—the reason is very simple, when Lin Ruo was conducting the first stage of special training for Klein in the previous half month, in order to investigate the original owner's enemies and find clues related to the Secret Order, he had purposefully contacted many noble children, and Hazel was one of them.
So he is very sure that Hazel is a Beyonder, and a Beyonder of the Marauder pathway.
Combining this with the plot of the original book, it would be strange if Lin Ruo couldn't guess that the demigod was already in Backlund now.
However… now that it's confirmed that I used to be a big shot, then I have to pay attention to everything and can't over-believe the plot anymore, after all, who knows if I have left any butterfly effect.
For example, Medici, Lin Ruo wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death if he said that the Sequence 2 characteristic he possesses now wasn't given to him.
However, the plot of the original book can still be used as a reference, and many things happen in the original book with a bit of inevitability, even if he participates, it may not have an impact… Lin Ruo thought a lot at once, and then heard Leonard say.
"Sir, the old man says that's not enough." After speaking, Leonard seemed a little tangled and hesitant, and asked: "Venerable, what do you and the old man mean by eating that Jacob family descendant?"
Leonard now obviously doesn't know about Beyonder characteristics.
Lin Ruo glanced at him, and suddenly said meaningfully: "Of course, it's the literal meaning, eating like ingesting!"
Leonard didn't know what he was imagining, his face suddenly turned pale, "Wouldn't that be cannibalism?"
"Hahaha…" Lin Ruo laughed immediately, because the various associations just now made his slightly heavy mood cheerful. After he finished laughing, he patted Leonard on the shoulder and said: "I'm teasing you, it's not really eating people, it's just ingesting the other party's Beyonder characteristic."
"As for what Beyonder characteristics are, ask Grandpa Pallez later!"
Leonard breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously asked: "Old man, what exactly are Beyonder characteristics?"
Then Leonard fell silent, seemingly listening to Pallez Zoroast's explanation, and then revealed a somewhat tangled expression, "But… isn't this still equivalent to eating people?"
Obviously, like Klein, Audrey, and others, Leonard's acceptance of ingesting Beyonder characteristics is not very high.
"Don't say that, the difference between this and eating people is huge." Lin Ruo smiled and said: "Moreover, if you use the Beyonder characteristics of those bad people to advance, you can protect more people in the future, or use the characteristics of other Nighthawks to advance, inherit the legacy of your predecessors, and protect more people with his will… Instead of dwelling on the issue of cannibalism, don't you think this is more meaningful?"
Leonard showed a thoughtful expression, seeming to think that what Lin Ruo said made sense, but he was still a little tangled.
Lin Ruo didn't care how tangled he was, and then said:
"When hunting that crippled Sequence 4 of the Jacob family, if the timing is right, I can help you hunt some of Amon's avatars… but that will have to be at least half a year later, I need some time to recover my state."
While Lin Ruo said this, his smile became even brighter.
Helping Pallez Zoroast hunt Amon is naturally not because of the book, but Lin Ruo's own plan—he doesn't intend to let Amon eat Pallez Zoroast's Sequence One characteristic like in the original book, even if he doesn't mention his conflict with Amon regarding the Sefirah Castle, just based on the fact that he has already beaten Amon, he can't let Amon become stronger.
If Amon really eats Grandpa Pallez' Sequence 1 characteristic first and then becomes a dual-pathway True God like in the original book, then he would be making trouble for himself.
So Lin Ruo plans to wait until he is stronger and gets to know the little snake, then pull Klein and Grandpa Pallez together to form a team and hunt Amon.
However, Lin Ruo didn't forget one thing and reminded: "However, not all of Amon's avatars can be hunted…"
He then narrated the thousand-year-long trap related to the Jacob family that Amon had set up in the original book, and finally said: "Moreover, you also know my state, I am not sure if things are still like this now…"
Lin Ruo really couldn't be sure if things were still like this with his butterfly effect in place.
But if you want to restore Grandpa Pallez' state, hunting Amon's avatars is indeed the best option, even the only option—because the Beyonders of the Marauder pathway have been almost eaten by Amon, and it is difficult to find characteristics that can restore Grandpa Pallez from other places.
Moreover, Grandpa Pallez' current weak state is no different from chronic suicide if he doesn't recover, after all, he has gradually fallen behind the times, and Amon will not let him go—Lin Ruo doesn't believe that Amon, as a Blasphemer, only has the one way to find Pallez in the original book.
So compared to enjoying temporary comfort, Lin Ruo himself is more inclined to hunt Amon to restore Pallez.
However, Lin Ruo is not the type of person who would make decisions for others on such important matters. He is not familiar enough with Grandpa Pallez, so he finally said:
"Of course, if you think the risk is too great, you can also stay here and retire."
Pallez Zoroast was silent for a long time this time, and finally said: "I'm not so old that I can't move…"
"Let's talk about retirement later!"
"Then, happy cooperation!" Lin Ruo's smile became even brighter after receiving the answer through Leonard.
He chatted with Pallez for a few more words, then left the Blackthorn Security Company with the "Groselle's Travels" and returned to Bayam, the City of Generosity.
"Huff… I still need to improve my Sequence, whether it's my Sequence or Klein's Sequence." Lin Ruo let out a long breath, then used the connection between himself and Klein to lock onto the other party's location. After finding him, he didn't rush to show himself, but watched a person sitting in a restaurant eating, obviously Klein, who was acting separately from Danitz, suddenly had a brilliant idea:
Klein doesn't know that he has finished his work and come back, so should he take this opportunity to give Klein a powerful enemy to fight?
After all, you can progress faster by jumping back and forth between life and death. When he is around, Klein always feels that he has a guarantee, and it is difficult to produce a real sense of life-and-death crisis, but if the other party doesn't know he is there, wouldn't this potential be forced out…
It's decided then!
Lin Ruo smiled happily.
So, not long after, when Klein finished his dessert and was about to leave the restaurant, he was approached by an angry pirate.
According to witnesses, they then witnessed a wonderful Beyonder duel outside the restaurant, one of whom was "Fishbone" Livis, with a bounty of 900 pounds, and the other was an unknown adventurer.
The battle was very thrilling, and both sides almost died in each other's hands. In the end, the adventurer shot and killed "Fishbone" Livis with a slight advantage, and left with the other's head.
