August 20th, Monday afternoon, Backlund.
"Heh, finally got a bite!" In the office, Lin Ruo, who had just cleared the mailbox, raised his eyebrows as he looked at the letter from Fors, the salted fish.
During this period, although he spent most of his time at sea, Lin Ruo would still occasionally take time to return to Backlund to write a letter to Fors, the salted fish. After all, he had been fishing for so long, there was no reason to give up, and writing letters didn't take up much time anyway.
In the previous letter, he had invited Fors, the salted fish, to an offline meeting from the perspective of a fan and pen pal. He also mentioned that he had found the ancient book recording the story of the Abraham family in his hometown. If Fors, the salted fish, was available to meet, he could take advantage of this meeting to lend her the ancient book.
After sending that letter, Lin Ruo hadn't received a reply for a whole week. He originally thought that suddenly proposing a meeting had scared Fors, the salted fish, away, but now it seems that wasn't the case.
"However, the fact that Fors is deeply troubled by the Full Moon Whispers proves that Mr. Door is indeed still exiled outside, and is likely already corrupted… Tsk!" Thinking of the traveler in the original book who shouted "Don't save me" and could no longer return home, Lin Ruo couldn't help but sigh.
To be honest, it wouldn't matter if he didn't know how powerful he used to be, but now that he knows he used to be a big shot, and may have changed many things, causing countless butterfly effects, Lin Ruo finds it hard not to be puzzled by the fact that Mr. Door is still corrupted as in the original story.
After all, he had no ill feelings towards Mr. Door, and even because of the Abraham family's "utter loyalty," Lin Ruo's innate goodwill towards Mr. Door was not too low. Moreover, even without considering goodwill, just considering the issue of one's own combat power, logically speaking, he shouldn't have just watched Mr. Door get corrupted back then.
But now Mr. Door is still corrupted, then there are only a few possibilities. First, he and Mr. Door didn't get along back then, so he sat back and watched the other party get corrupted.
Second, like Medici's incident, maybe something unexpected happened, so that he couldn't stop Mr. Door from courting death in time, and the other party was finally corrupted.
"I'll ask Old Man Pallez about my relationship with Mr. Door back then…." Lin Ruo pondered, tapping the edge of the table lightly, and finally could only suppress his doubts, but suddenly thought of something, and his expression became strange:
"Speaking of which, although I don't know the details, from the surface, the situation of many major events now is really no different from the original story. Medici is dead, Mr. Door is corrupted, and Roselle, from the surface, seems to have the same ending as before… Is it because I didn't think about changing the plot back then, or… is it worldline convergence?"
"Does the line of fate… really exist?" Lin Ruo thought, mainly because the current situation really makes it hard for him not to think about this. But soon he shook his head, after all, from the current point of view, fate is obviously changeable, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to prevent the Tingen incident. As for the others, let's verify them slowly, maybe the current situation is caused by himself, it's hard to say.
"By the way, I can actually collect some Roselle's Diaries. With my personality, there's no reason not to contact the Great Emperor under the conditions allowed, maybe I can find some clues…" Lin Ruo made a decision in his heart, determined to use the existing channels to collect Roselle's Diaries after this Tarot Gathering is over.
He then looked up at the time, it was almost 3 o'clock now, and the Tarot Gathering would start in at most half a minute.
Lin Ruo immediately found a comfortable lying posture on the recliner, waiting to be pulled onto the gray fog.
To be honest, Lin Ruo is very much looking forward to this Tarot Gathering, after all, he can finally meet Little Sun Derrick Berg.
He is still waiting to get clues about the past from the other party!
However, now that he has Old Man Pallez Zoroast, Lin Ruo is actually not so eager to get clues from Little Sun. Lin Ruo also knows that if he really knows too much at once, it may not be a good thing for him, and being too eager may scare Little Sun, and it is easy to arouse Klein's suspicion.
After all, his persona is a big shot who doesn't know much about the Land of the Gods.
So Lin Ruo decided to be more reserved when he meets Little Sun later, and then slowly fleece the sheep, otherwise it would be bad if he killed the sheep all at once.
"Pa Da—"
The minute hand finally pointed to the position marked 0, three o'clock arrived.
Crimson light burst out from Lin Ruo's body, and after a familiar trance, the boundless gray fog appeared in front of Lin Ruo again.
He was already in the towering palace above the gray fog, and in front of him was the ancient and mottled bronze long table. Lin Ruo's gaze swept around, and sure enough, he found a young man with brown-yellow hair in the place next to him.
Through the gray fog, Lin Ruo could vaguely see the young man wearing black tight-fitting clothes that were different from the Loen style. There was no doubt that the other party was the Sun Derrick Berg.
At this time, the Fool Klein's steady voice sounded.
"This is the new member, codenamed 'The Sun.'"
"This is Miss 'Justice', this is Mr. 'Hanged Man', this is Mr. 'Chariot'."
Lin Ruo immediately laughed and greeted Sun Derrick Berg, who was a little nervous and cramped: "Hello, Mr. Sun, I am the Chariot." Accompanied by a gentle and reassuring smile.
Another new member has joined… The Hanged Man Alger instinctively wanted to frown, but he still held back.
Thinking of the Chariot's increasingly active performance at the Tarot Gathering recently, he already felt quite a sense of crisis, and he has been actively showing himself in the recent meetings. Although he was full of vigilance towards the new member in his heart, feeling that this might be another guy who would threaten his position, on the surface, the Hanged Man Alger still greeted Sun Derrick Berg friendly.
Compared to these two, Justice Audrey was just purely happy. As the member with the most sense of belonging to the Tarot Gathering, she was quite happy to see new members, and immediately greeted Little Sun, and by the way, began to observe the latter.
Well, not too old… A little nervous and cramped… But he seems to be relatively aloof, with a kind of… um, lone wolf feeling.
…
Sun Derrick Berg was indeed a little cramped and nervous, after all, this was his first time participating in the Tarot Gathering.
You can't expect a person who is already aloof in nature and doesn't have many friends to be as calm and composed as if he were returning home when participating in this kind of divine conference for the first time. Even an old schemer like the Hanged Man can't do this.
After being greeted by the members of the Tarot Gathering one after another, Sun Derrick Berg also quickly returned the greetings, and also greeted the other three members of the Tarot Gathering, his voice still with nervousness, but his heart was much more at ease.
Originally worried that he would not get along well with the Tarot or other people, he breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, and a feeling that everyone was very friendly arose spontaneously.
However… Sun Derrick Berg couldn't help but glanced at the clothes on Lin Ruo and others, and was immediately a little puzzled.
These people's dresses are so strange… Are they also people from City of Silver?
