"Captain, do you mind if I give Klein one last preparation of potion?"
Dunn frowned slightly, subconsciously glancing at Lin Ruo.
Lin Ruo, seeing this, nodded and said, "Although Mr. Old Neil is not in good condition, preparing a potion shouldn't be a problem."
Dunn nodded, saying, "Then, please, Your Excellency, watch over them here while I contact the Holy Cathedral."
He finished speaking, turned around to leave, took two steps, then stopped and turned back, saying, "Oh, right, one more thing, I'll notify Leonard to come here. When he arrives, Klein, remember to explain the situation to him."
"Uh, okay, I'll tell him." Klein nodded quickly. Dunn turned around again, thankfully this time he didn't stop again to say, "One more thing."
After Dunn left, Klein's gaze fell on Old Neil, somewhat worried and hesitant, "Mr. Neil..."
"Don't look at me like that, Little Klein, I'm fine! Things haven't reached the point of no return yet, and the Holy Cathedral will have a solution, won't they?" After all the emotions just now, Old Neil, as the person involved, relaxed and comforted Klein with a smile.
"Besides, I'm about to prepare the Seer potion for you. Aren't you looking forward to it?" Old Neil said with a teasing expression.
Klein opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment, and finally could only say, "Then, I'll trouble you, Mr. Neil."
"No trouble at all, it's what I should do!" Old Neil immediately grabbed his case and entered the alchemy room. Klein followed behind him, suddenly asking softly, "Lin Ruo, will Mr. Neil be alright?"
"I can't guarantee anything..." Lin Ruo didn't exaggerate, instead, he restrained his smile and said, "After all, I'm not a god..."
"Can a god save Mr. Neil?" Klein asked, his voice extremely low.
"Perhaps..." Lin Ruo didn't affirm or deny, his eyes somewhat wandering. He suddenly thought of the gods in the original story who were also threatened by madness and loss of control, his voice extremely soft.
"But the only ones who can save humanity are humans themselves!"
Only, for some reason, even though he was thinking of the Seven Gods, Lin Ruo's heart was filled with a deep anger and sorrow.
But this feeling came quickly and went quickly, so quickly that Lin Ruo suspected it was an illusion.
It should be an illusion... He thought to himself, as if emphasizing some fact that he himself didn't believe.
At this moment, Old Neil had already opened the case, taken out the materials for the Seer potion, and began to introduce the specific matters when preparing the potion to Klein while preparing the Seer potion.
As a good student, Klein naturally immediately began to listen attentively. Lin Ruo also floated to the side, watching with a smile, while pondering in his heart what price to sell the subsequent recipes for the Seer potion to Klein.
However, this thought didn't last long before it was interrupted, because at the moment Klein took the Seer potion and advanced to become a Seer, Lin Ruo also felt some changes in himself.
It seemed that something had loosened. Lin Ruo's mind had more information.
Through this information, Lin Ruo knew that from now on, he could freely control his spirit body to travel between Tingen and Backlund, instead of being pulled back and forth unexpectedly as before.
However, this freedom was not completely free, because after the change, Lin Ruo could now only maintain his spirit body state for a maximum of two hours each day. Although there was no limit to the number of trips, the time was shorter than before.
But overall, it was still better than the previous state of being uncontrollably coming and going.
At the same time, Lin Ruo also noticed some changes in his supernatural ability.
—The function of his supernatural ability itself had not changed, it was still the same as before, but the upper limit of the supernatural ability itself had increased.
To give a simple example, if Lin Ruo could only simulate a demigod for 60 seconds, then he could now last at least 90 seconds.
This was a big improvement!
In the past, Lin Ruo had only achieved such a big improvement once when he understood the essence of his supernatural ability! Usually, his supernatural ability grew slowly through constant use—unlike the world of Mysteries, which required taking potions to advance, Lin Ruo's supernatural ability itself would slowly improve with constant use.
But this time, the situation was obviously different from the past. Lin Ruo's supernatural ability had grown because of Klein's advancement.
This made Lin Ruo's gaze towards Klein change slightly.
If Lin Ruo originally wanted to cultivate Klein to become the Lord of the Mysteries only out of interest and consideration for the end of the world, and his thoughts themselves were not that strong, then at this moment, Lin Ruo's heart to make Klein grow into the Lord of the Mysteries became unprecedentedly firm.
After all, just becoming Sequence 9 had brought such changes to his supernatural ability. Heaven knew how far his supernatural ability could grow if Klein became the Lord of the Mysteries.
Lin Ruo admitted that compared to his current Hunter ability as the main body, he still preferred his accustomed supernatural ability.
Although this improvement was neither scientific nor mysterious... Lin Ruo complained in his heart, feeling excited and alert at the same time.
But in the end, he said nothing, only suppressing all his emotions.
"Lin Ruo?"
Just then, Lin Ruo heard Klein's voice. He looked over and saw Klein looking at him with a curious gaze, obviously having become a Seer and turned on his Spirit Vision.
Lin Ruo raised his eyebrows and smiled, saying, "Why are you so surprised? It's not like it's the first day you've seen me. Haven't you seen me many times in the mirror before?"
"How can that be the same?" Klein retorted without thinking, while looking at the young man he had known for some time but was seeing for the first time in the strict sense.
How should he put it? Compared to the figure he saw in the mirror, the young man he actually saw in front of him gave people a more real feeling. The other party was still dressed as before, quietly floating to the side, his obsidian-like beautiful eyes looking at him, as gentle and steady as ever, with a slight helplessness on his lips.
This was Lin Ruo!
This was a fellow countryman who came from the same place as him!
Klein suddenly wanted to laugh, and he did laugh, saying, "Doesn't a spirit body need to change clothes?"
"A spirit body doesn't even need to take a bath, why would it need to change clothes?" Lin Ruo rolled his eyes at him, then smiled and asked, "How does it feel to become a Seer?"
