Lin Ruo, of course, was unaware of what had happened in the Forsaken Land of the Gods. But even if he had known, he wouldn't have been surprised. In fact, Lin Ruo had already tacitly accepted that Little Sun's friend was Amon.

After all, it's better to be safe than sorry. Lin Ruo always considers the worst-case scenario in these matters.

Having already assumed that Latour was Amon, he roughly introduced Amon to Klein, describing what a mischievous child he was, and finally said:

"If Little Sun's friend really is Amon, it's most likely because of that gray fog… But you don't need to worry too much. Your gray fog has an extremely high level. Even if Amon is targeting Little Sun, he won't be able to easily invade the gray fog. And in order to prevent the clues from being cut off, He probably won't easily make a move against Little Sun."

"Just be more careful when you pull Little Sun in the future. If you notice anything wrong, you can try to use the high level of the Blasphemy Slate to leverage the power of the gray fog to clear it. I'll teach you the specific method later…"

"That's what you say, but Little Sun will still be very dangerous…" Klein frowned, and then looked at Lin Ruo with some concern, "And if the other party really is Amon, and he deliberately provided Little Sun with these ancient books containing knowledge of the King of Angels, I'm afraid he's coming for you."

Coincidentally, that's what I think too.

Lin Ruo touched his nose. Having already tacitly accepted that Little Sun's friend was Amon, Lin Ruo had of course considered the other party's purpose.

First of all, there's no need to doubt that Amon is attracted to the Sefirah Castle. After all, in the original story, He directly locked onto Little Sun because he held a meeting on the gray fog next door to Him. Although Lin Ruo wasn't very clear about what was going on this time, he could roughly guess that it might be because Little Sun attended a meeting on the gray fog in front of Amon, so he was targeted again or something.

Leaving aside the Sefirah Castle, which is a delicacy in the eyes of the Cowardly Trio, considering that Amon might be deliberately providing Little Sun with information about the King of Angels, and even providing information that basically directly points to the Judgement Angel, Lin Ruo had to consider another possibility:

Amon already knows about his connection with Little Sun, or the other party hasn't stolen Little Sun's memory yet, and doesn't know about the existence of the Tarot Club, but this information is most likely being used to bait him.

This leads to another question—does Amon know that he has amnesia?

It seems that he does now.

"He might indeed be coming for me… but at the same time, he should also be coming for your gray fog." Lin Ruo rubbed his temples, feeling that his PTSD was about to flare up, and said:

"But you don't need to worry too much. At least for now, Backlund is relatively safe. Amon doesn't have the guts to come here in person. And He shouldn't be able to find you for a long time in the future."

Lin Ruo was telling the truth. After all, the Sefirah Castle is a special weapon of the Cowardly Trio. While it attracts the Cowardly Trio, it also greatly interferes with them. Otherwise, Amon should have caught Klein long ago in the original story, instead of dragging it out until after the George III incident.

On the contrary, it's me… Perhaps I should be more careful in the future.

Thinking like this, Lin Ruo subconsciously pinched the Concealment Badge in his pocket.

The Concealment Badge was working as usual, relaxing Lin Ruo's slightly tense heart because he had discovered Amon's traces.

Hearing this, Klein felt a little relieved, but looking at Lin Ruo, who seemed to be under a lot of pressure, he couldn't help but ask, "Is there really no other way?"

"No way." Lin Ruo shook his head, and while adjusting his mood, he said, "If it were the old me, I wouldn't be afraid of the other party… but now I'm crippled. If I really fall into His hands, I'm afraid I'm done… After all, I beat Him up for many years."

"?"

Klein, who was originally in a very depressed mood, was stunned for a moment, and said with some doubt and some clicking of his tongue, "Beat Him up for many years?"

"Yeah!" Lin Ruo, who had already adjusted his mood, nodded seriously, and said, "You also know that Amon is a mischievous child, and I was His godfather back then. The Creator of the City of Silver doesn't raise children, so I naturally took on the important task of educating the child… Although I haven't recovered much of my memory in this regard, the evidence shows that I beat Him up a lot back then."

Klein: …

Ah, this!

Lin Ruo then reached out and patted his head, and said with a smile: "So, don't be too stressed. It's just a mischievous child. If He really dares to come to Backlund, I dare to call people to beat Him up. This is my home field."

"When can you change your habit of patting my head?" Klein complained. Although he knew that Lin Ruo should be comforting him, his mood still relaxed a lot, but he silently marked Little Sun as a key observation object in his heart.

He wouldn't give up on Little Sun because of Amon's danger. Although he didn't have the ability to change the other party's situation yet, he also planned to do everything possible to ensure the other party's safety.

I just hope that Amon really won't act rashly… Klein thought, and sighed silently.

"Sorry, I'm afraid I can't change this habit." Lin Ruo smiled, and then said: "But we still have to have a sense of crisis. Next, you should focus on digesting the Magician potion. Advancing sooner is more important than anything else."

Amon's appearance still brought some sense of crisis to Lin Ruo.

"Yeah, I know. I will actively look for performance opportunities next." Klein nodded. The danger from Amon made his motivation for advancement even stronger.

"However, before that, we might be able to trick Him first." Thinking of Amon's tomb in the original story, which could be used as a shortcut, Lin Ruo pinched his chin and decided to confirm it first. Once he confirmed that the place existed, he would immediately report it.

But the question is whether to report it to the Nighthawks or the Machinery Hivemind at that time.

Thinking of a certain bootlicking mirror, Lin Ruo's eyes flickered.

Or, he should meet that mirror.

…

The next day, morning.

After Lin Ruo had breakfast, he received a letter from Archbishop Saint Anthony.

Yesterday, after he decided to meet with Arrodes, he asked the latter to make a request to the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery in his name. The general content was that he had a Beyonder case here that needed Arrodes's help, so he wanted to borrow it from the Machinery Hivemind.

This wasn't a big deal. After all, Arrodes was still just a Grade 2 Sealed Artifact. If he wanted to directly obtain the other party, it might be troublesome, but just borrowing it wouldn't be a big problem.

The fact was also true. According to the content of Saint Anthony's letter, the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery agreed to lend Arrodes, as long as he returned it in time after using it.

In addition to this news, the letter also mentioned another point, that Boneweaver wanted to meet with him again, seemingly for something important.
