After all, Audrey's characteristics were quite obvious: blonde hair, blue eyes, a young lady from a noble family, and a collector of Emperor Roselle's notes. If these three conditions were laid out, and if Audrey hadn't already prepared to conceal her identity before Fors joined the organization in the original story, and hadn't been completely watertight in reality, revealing no hint that she was a member of the Tarot Club, it's hard to say whether she would have been recognized by the lazy Fors from the very beginning.

But now, Fors and Xio know that he is a believer of The Fool, and he also happens to know Audrey, coupled with Audrey's own undisguised characteristics... Tsk!

Honestly, even if Fors recognized Miss Justice as Audrey the moment they met, Lin Ruo wouldn't be surprised.

Of course, so what if she was recognized? Given Fors's personality, even if she really recognized Miss Justice as Audrey, it wouldn't really matter. He just hoped she wouldn't be too shocked when the time came.

After all… the idea that "the noble young lady I worried about being deceived and persecuted by a cultist is actually a member of an evil god's council" is too stimulating!

So stimulating that Lin Ruo felt a sense of anticipation just thinking about it.

That would definitely be interesting!

Thinking this, Lin Ruo heard Viscount Glaint quietly sigh, "So you've got Audrey's subsequent formulas sorted out... I wonder when I'll be able to get the Sequence 8 formula for the Apothecary pathway." His tone was slightly envious.

Clearly, Viscount Glaint was, as always, oblivious to the rich inner drama of his companions.

"You'll get it, don't worry, I'll definitely help you," Lin Ruo reassured him, while also seriously considering buying the Beast Tamer potion formula.

This wouldn't be very difficult for him, after all, his connections were much wider than Viscount Glaint's. Just a Sequence 8 formula, there were definitely many avenues to pursue.

Or he could write a letter to Frank Lee, after all, he used to be a member of the Church of the Earth Mother... Speaking of which, I wonder how his things are growing...

Thinking of the foods he had eaten before that left deep psychological shadows, the corners of Lin Ruo's mouth twitched slightly, but he still decided to write a letter when he got back.

After all, this was a major issue concerning whether the citizens of City of Silver could have a good meal. Although only a few days had passed, Lin Ruo didn't expect Frank to have achieved anything real, but it was always good to ask about the progress. If Frank needed anything, such as the corpses of the monsters living in City of Silver, he could ask in advance and get a reply, so he could place an order with Little Sun at the next Tarot Gathering.

Alas, I've sacrificed so much for City of Silver...

After lamenting this in his heart, Lin Ruo chatted with Viscount Glaint and the others in a low voice for a while, and then the gathering officially ended.

The group of five left the place where Mr. A held the gathering and returned to Viscount Glaint's villa. After attending a salon held for half an hour to cover their tracks, they left one by one.

After leaving Viscount Glaint's villa, Lin Ruo knocked on the door of the apartment where Fors and Xio lived.

"Who is it?"

Inside the room, Fors, who had just arrived home and was leaning on the sofa, drinking a cup of hot tea, glanced at the door with a puzzled expression. Xio, who was sitting next to her, took the initiative to stand up and walk to the door.

Immediately afterward, Fors saw Xio freeze. The other party seemed to have seen something that surprised her through the peephole on the door, so Fors's movements also stiffened, and she had a bad feeling in her heart.

Facts proved that her premonition was correct, because immediately afterward, Fors saw Xio open the door, and standing at the door was that Rudy whom she had just met and was currently avoiding like the plague.

"Good afternoon, Miss Fors, Miss Xio, would you mind inviting me in for a cup of hot tea?"

Fors saw him reveal a gentle and bright smile.

Her hand trembled, and the cup in her hand fell to the ground, shattering into pieces in an instant.

Lin Ruo raised his eyebrows when he saw this, deliberately making his smile a little fainter, and said, "What's wrong, Miss Fors? Are you not welcoming me?"

"No, no," Fors immediately shook her head, barely squeezing out a smile on her face.

It was just that the smile was like a funeral dirge, almost writing the words "I'm done for" on her face.

Lin Ruo pretended not to see this, and restored his bright and gentle smile, saying, "Then, I'll disturb you two!"

A few minutes later, Lin Ruo was already sitting on the sofa, holding a cup of freshly brewed black tea in his hand, while Fors and Xio were like quails, quietly huddled on the sofa opposite Lin Ruo.

"Don't be so nervous, I won't eat people. The reason I came to see you this time is just to remind you of a few things," Lin Ruo said with a gentle smile, taking a sip of the black tea in his cup.

"I wonder what it is?" Compared to Fors, Xio was clearly in a better state when facing Lin Ruo, and took the initiative to ask at this time.

Of course, she also had some guesses in her heart, guessing whether what Rudy wanted to say was related to Miss Audrey.

"Regarding the matter of me being a high-sequence Beyonder, I hope that you two will not reveal it to anyone without my permission," Lin Ruo said with a smile, his tone gentle and polite.

"Don't worry, we won't tell anyone about this," Fors and Xio immediately guaranteed in unison, the tacit understanding between best friends revealed at this moment.

"I believe you," Lin Ruo still smiled, but didn't intend to use extraordinary means to restrain Fors and Xio.

For him, it wasn't necessary.

He just changed the subject immediately, saying, "Now that we've talked about matters in the extraordinary realm, why don't we talk about other serious matters now!"

Lin Ruo looked at Fors, his smile becoming a little brighter, and said, "Miss Fors, where is your new book?"

Fors's expression froze, and her whole body almost subconsciously shrank back, her voice becoming much smaller: "I... I'm writing it."

"Really?" Lin Ruo smiled as if feathers were falling behind him, but the color of the feathers was a little off, "Miss Fors, are you really writing it?"

"I'm sorry!" Fors couldn't hold on anymore. Lin Ruo's smile really made her panic, reminding her of the smiling murderers described in the books she had read.

"I haven't written a single word!"

"Alas..." Seeing that she finally admitted it, Lin Ruo stopped smiling, but sighed worriedly, "Miss Fors, do you remember what I said last time?"

Fors instantly thought of something like a small dark room, or falling from a high place, and her legs went weak, and she said with a bitter face: "Can you... give me another chance?"

Lin Ruo was silent. He stared at Fors, and when Fors felt more and more unsure, he said: "Yes, you write the beginning now. I don't ask much, just write the first chapter, can you do it!"

Fors hesitated for a moment, then nodded firmly.

"Yes!"
