After giving instructions to his companions and establishing his persona in front of Audrey and Glaint, Lin Ruo went up to the second floor and found the room written on the note.
"Knock, knock, knock—"
Although he knew there was no one inside, Lin Ruo politely knocked on the door. After waiting for a response, he pushed the door open and entered.
The room was naturally nothing special, just a small reception room. Lin Ruo sat on the sofa and quite casually poured himself a cup of tea. However, he didn't drink it, only holding the teacup and pretending.
Soon, someone pushed open the door and walked in. Lin Ruo glanced at the person, who was Mr. A, shrouded in a black robe.
The other party walked straight towards him, and then unexpectedly took off the hood on his head, standing somewhat restrained in front of Lin Ruo, and took the initiative to say:
"Hello, it's nice to meet you for the first time. You can call me Mr. A."
"Hello, Mr. A, as for me... call me Isendi!" Lin Ruo, already accustomed to Mr. A's mode of operation, decided to pretend he didn't understand the other party's behavior, and said with a smile, "Mr. A, please sit down. It's not convenient to talk while standing."
Upon hearing this, Mr. A readily sat down on the sofa opposite Lin Ruo, but his attitude was completely devoid of the composure and aloofness he had shown downstairs. He sat upright and said, "Mr. Isendi, have you heard of the Aurora Order?"
Good, just knew it would be such a direct ball!
Lin Ruo was completely calm, nodded with a smile, and said, "I've probably heard a little... Mr. A, are you a member of the Aurora Order?"
Direct ball, who doesn't know how to hit it!
Mr. A seemed to be slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "I am indeed a member of the Aurora Order... Mr. Isendi, I wonder if you are interested in joining the Aurora Order?"
"Hmm..." Lin Ruo didn't give an immediate answer. He looked at Mr. A in front of him, showing a pensive expression, and then said with a playful smile, "If I say I'm not interested, does that mean I can't leave this room?"
"Of course not, Mr. Isendi, I don't mean to force you." Mr. A quickly shook his head. "Just follow your own will."
Tsk... Lin Ruo suddenly laughed. He felt that the current situation was quite interesting, but upon closer inspection, it wasn't that interesting after all.
So Lin Ruo put down the teacup in his hand, leaned back, and said somewhat lazily, "Actually, I'm very curious, do you know who I am?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. A was really stunned. Immediately, he knelt on the ground with a "swish—", his forehead touching the ground, and said in a humble and fervent tone, "Your subordinate greets the Favored One."
Favored One... So, my background hasn't been exposed?
I also don't know what kind of oracle the True Creator gave to Mr. A... Lin Ruo, looking down at Mr. A in front of him, slightly straightened up, having already decided to throw caution to the wind, and asked, "Get up, I don't like talking to people who are kneeling... Are you the person in charge of the Aurora Order in Backlund?"
"Yes, your subordinate is currently the chief person in charge of the Backlund area." Mr. A obediently stood up, and then said without hesitation.
"Is that so? I thought it would be a Saint! Or, there is a Saint in Backlund, but not in charge?" Lin Ruo asked tentatively.
"Currently, we don't have a Saint in Backlund." Mr. A replied, and then explained, "There used to be, but because of the commotion caused by an unknown high-sequence powerhouse not long ago, for safety reasons, the Saint who was previously stationed in Backlund has temporarily withdrawn and will return to Backlund after a while."
Ah, this... This seems to be my fault!
"Give me a list of the Aurora Order's members in Backlund." Lin Ruo blinked, and then said in a slow and unhurried tone, directly changing the subject.
Now that everything has been revealed, he naturally doesn't mind using his identity to do something.
"Yes, Your Favored One." Mr. A replied, then paused and added, "Your Favored One, the Lord has commanded that you can call upon any member of the Aurora Order in Backlund."
Oh, ho!
Lin Ruo raised his eyebrows and said, "Including you?"
"Including this subordinate." Mr. A lowered his head and replied respectfully.
In the Aurora Order, the True Creator's command is everything. So, even if he had never met Lin Ruo before, never met this Favored One, as long as the other party needed it, Mr. A would still obey his orders.
"That's generous..." Lin Ruo curled his lips, but he was still slightly surprised at the bottom of his heart.
Although he already knew before that the True Creator seemed to be very "indulgent" towards him, he never thought that after contacting him, the other party would have such an attitude.
However... this also shows that the True Creator knows him very well, and probably predicted that he would one day infiltrate the Aurora Order.
Speaking of which... wouldn't this count as me being proven wrong?
No, how could this be considered being proven wrong? I am clearly dedicating myself to the people of Backlund!
Lin Ruo joked in his heart, and then asked, "Currently, are you secretly plotting something big with the Loen royal family and the Church of the Earth Mother in Backlund?"
Mr. A was stunned for a moment, then a confused and bewildered expression appeared on his face. He seemed to think for a while, and then replied, "The Lord once wanted to descend with the help of a person named Lanevus, but later Lanevus was killed by the Nighthawks... After that, we didn't plot anything big, only had some dealings with the Church of the Earth Mother."
Huh?
Lin Ruo raised his eyebrows. He naturally knew about Lanevus, after all, he personally promoted the other party's death, but he really didn't expect that the Aurora Order hadn't yet participated in the subsequent Backlund smog incident.
Wait, judging from the original work, although the mastermind behind the Backlund smog incident was indeed the Loen royal family, the Church of the Earth Mother, and the Aurora Order, the real mastermind behind the scenes was still the Loen royal family. In addition, the Church of the Earth Mother created the smog to cover up the disappearance of the population and the advancement of a certain witch, and also created Trissy Cheek, wanting the Primordial Moon to descend, obviously participating to a considerable extent.
On the other hand, the Aurora Order, although they also caused trouble, wanting the True Creator to descend, their degree of participation... doesn't seem to be very high?
The other party was more like seeing someone making a big deal, seeing an opportunity for the True Creator to descend, so they simply came to蹭 a wave. Otherwise, this kind of big event should have sent a Saint, instead of always letting Mr. A, who is only Sequence 5, be responsible for everything.
This is really... Lin Ruo didn't know what to say. His finger gently tapped the edge of the table, and finally he said, "If the Loen royal family or the Church of the Earth Mother invites the Aurora Order to do something big next, or you see any opportunities and plan to participate in something big, tell me."
He didn't plan to stop the Aurora Order from participating in this matter, there was no need. Since the Aurora Order was not at the core of the Backlund smog incident, then whether to stop them from participating or not made no difference.
On the contrary, letting them participate would allow Lin Ruo to grasp the development of things and then backstab them at a critical moment.
"Yes, Your Favored One." Mr. A didn't ask why, only replied obediently.
