"Speaking of which, aren't you going to ask if the gifts I've given you also have prices secretly marked on them?"

Hearing this, Klein was stunned. Would Lin Ruo's gifts come with a price? Klein really hadn't considered this question.

After all, their relationship was what it was. Although he often thought about what he should exchange for Lin Ruo's help, Klein had never completely thought about the issue from a utilitarian perspective.

Because that's not a good implication, like measuring feelings entirely by benefits, making everything cold and unfeeling, which Klein instinctively resisted.

This made Klein frown involuntarily, looking at Lin Ruo, and simply asking, "Then, do your gifts to me have prices marked on them?"

Although he only asked the question just now as a joke, Lin Ruo fell silent in the face of Klein's question.

After a long while, Lin Ruo shook his head and said, "I don't know."

His initial desire to cultivate Klein into the Lord of the Mysteries was because he didn't want to be wiped out along with the world in the apocalypse. Later, it was both affection, because he really regarded Klein as a friend and student, and to improve his own supernatural abilities. There were definitely selfish motives in this, but if you were to say that Lin Ruo expected to gain anything from Klein in the future, he really didn't.

But was that really the case? He didn't now, but what about the him before he lost his memory?

Lin Ruo didn't know. He still knew too little about his past, and he didn't even dare to say that he truly understood what kind of personality he had in the past.

After all, people change, and thousands of years is too long, so long that Lin Ruo didn't dare to think about what the years had transformed him into.

"Klein..." Thinking of this, Lin Ruo breathed out and looked at Klein, saying, "I don't know if the me before I lost my memory had any arrangements, and I'm not sure if I was also plotting something... Of course, the current me has no ill intentions towards you, and you can trust me."

"However..." He changed the subject, his expression becoming a little more serious, "If one day, I recover too many memories and become unfamiliar to you... then you should be wary, be a little wary!"

He spoke extremely seriously, and Klein listened carefully, but there was a little more worry in his eyes, not worrying about whether he would be backstabbed by Lin Ruo in the future, but worrying about whether Lin Ruo would become another person because of the recovery of his memories.

After all, the one he knew was the current Lin Ruo. If the other party really changed completely because of past memories, would that still be the Lin Ruo he knew?

Klein didn't know, after all, memory and personality were the most confusing things.

But he wouldn't stop Lin Ruo from finding his past, nor would he offer such a suggestion, because Klein could see that even if he resisted, even if he worried, Lin Ruo still wanted to retrieve his memories.

He respected Lin Ruo's choice.

So after Klein was silent for a while, he softly replied, "I understand."

"By the way..." Speaking of backstabbing, Lin Ruo blinked, suddenly thinking of the scene in the original book where [Gehrman backstabbed the Fool], which made a group of book friends howl and left him dumbfounded, and immediately said, "Klein, when you advance to become a Marionettist in the future, after you have a Marionette, remember to check the Marionette from time to time, disconnect from the Marionette, otherwise you might be backstabbed one day."

Klein: "?"

Klein looked at Lin Ruo in confusion, not quite understanding why the other party would suddenly say this. After all, aren't Marionettes completely controlled by the Marionettist?

Since that's the case, how could a Marionette backstab a Marionette Master?

"I'm telling the truth... I don't know about other pathways, but the Visionary pathway can indeed do this. The big shots of the Visionary pathway can give humanity to the Marionette. Although it's not to the point of really letting the Marionette break away from the Marionette's Controller and come alive, but if the Marionette has humanity, backstabbing is very normal." Lin Ruo said seriously, secretly dissing a certain unscrupulous author who let [Gehrman] backstab the Fool.

Klein was stunned as he listened. He really didn't expect that the Visionary actually had this kind of ability, which was a bit beyond his imagination. Then Klein thought of the special aspects of the Visionary that Lin Ruo had mentioned before, and couldn't help but say, "Isn't the Visionary pathway a bit too strong?"

"Who says it isn't!" Lin Ruo shrugged, expressing his agreement, and said, "I've always felt that the Visionary is too strong, it's completely the son of the patch among the 22 pathways, it's simply so special that it makes the Warrior shed tears."

"Why the Warrior?" Klein, who also felt the same way about Lin Ruo's statement, subconsciously asked.

"Because the Warrior is weak." Lin Ruo said righteously.

Klein: ?

"Okay, just kidding, but in terms of means, the Warrior is indeed relatively few among the 22 pathways, but their frontal combat power is very strong, so they can't be underestimated too much." Lin Ruo said, and then brought the topic back to the Aurora Order, saying:

"But no matter what the True Creator thinks, since the Backlund Aurora Order has been handed over to me, I will naturally restrain them... and I will also arrange for them to do some things that are not convenient for me to do."

"For example?" Klein, who fully understood Lin Ruo's habits, very kindly took over the conversation.

"For example, assassinating the Intis ambassador to the Loen Kingdom, Bakerland Jean Madan."

Lin Ruo said with a smile.

"Assassinate the Intis ambassador?" Klein was obviously a little surprised, completely not expecting Lin Ruo to do this.

Lin Ruo continued with a smile, "Well, after all, you are now involved in Ian's matter. For your safety, of course I have to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots to prevent future troubles."

Klein: ...

Ah, this!

For a moment, Klein didn't know if Lin Ruo was joking.

Lin Ruo then said unhurriedly, "Of course, it's not entirely for you, mainly to find something for the Aurora Order to do. Moreover, this Intis ambassador himself has a big problem. I don't know how many people have died because of him over the years. Killing him can be considered a good thing. Anyway, Intis can't possibly start a war because of such an ambassador..."

"If war really comes one day, then it is the inevitable choice of the times."

Just like the war in the original book, that was both the choice of the gods and the choice of the times.

The fuse of the war had been planted countless years ago.

And him...

Lin Ruo sighed, suppressed the various thoughts that suddenly appeared in his heart, and looked at Klein again, saying, "So next, you don't need to collect more information about the Aurora Order, shift your focus to other secret organizations. If... you find any Loen nobles showing abnormalities, remember to tell me. But the most important thing is to protect yourself."

Loen nobles...

Klein nodded thoughtfully.
