After providing Saint Anthony with some ideas and asking him to continue investigating the believers of the Moth, Lin Ruo, having nothing else to do, immersed himself in the ocean of knowledge.
After studying for an entire night, Lin Ruo arranged some other matters before returning to the office. He took a short rest during the early morning before heading to Tingen.
Considering that from today onward, he would not only be teaching Klein knowledge but also arranging special training, Lin Ruo decided to come in person again.
"Good morning, Klein. It seems you had a good rest last night." As soon as Lin Ruo entered the Blackthorn Security Company, he saw Klein waiting on the sofa. His gaze fell on the Jotun textbook in Klein's hand, and he said with deep satisfaction, "I'm very pleased that you're so diligent."
Hearing this, Klein smiled, but the next second, his smile suddenly froze.
"Tomorrow is Sunday. I hope you can give me a satisfactory self-criticism by then."
Crap!
Klein suddenly remembered something: he hadn't written a single word of his self-criticism.
Finishing a 5,000-word self-criticism in two days while also having to deal with other things… Ugh!
Just kill me!
At this moment, Klein deeply resonated with those students whose summer vacation was ending tomorrow but hadn't even started their homework.
Looking at his expression, Lin Ruo raised an eyebrow and narrowed his eyes, saying, "Don't tell me you haven't written a single word of your self-criticism yet?"
"What if I said yes…" Klein asked tentatively.
"Then hand in a 20,000-word one next week. Don't worry, I'm very open-minded. If you can hand in the 5,000-word one on time tomorrow, that's fine too." As Lin Ruo spoke, he smiled very gently, but he directly offered a super-sized increase.
Klein: …
Don't say such terrifying things with such a gentle face!
Klein suddenly looked at Leonard, who seemed to be reading a collection of poems beside him, and asked, "Leonard, can you Sleepless ones make others not sleep but still be energetic?"
Leonard: ?
Leonard, who was usually just watching the fun, was stunned for a moment and actually started thinking seriously. He said, "Theoretically, it's not possible, but if you need to stay up late, you can use ritual magic to pray to the Goddess. The Goddess might grant you a night of good energy."
This time, it was Klein's turn to look at Leonard with surprise. He really hadn't expected Leonard to say that.
Asking the Goddess for a night of good energy? Wouldn't it be punished by the gods to bother the Goddess with such a thing?
Having not been baptized by Old Neil, and therefore not knowing how many precedents the Nighthawks had in similar matters, Klein felt a bit of an illusion at this moment, thinking, "Am I the only one who is most devout here?"
However, he immediately suppressed this illusion, first saying to Leonard, "Thank you for your suggestion, but I think I don't need it." Then, he looked at Lin Ruo, and although he felt that his liver was already faintly aching, he still said, "I will finish writing the self-criticism tomorrow."
"I look forward to it." Lin Ruo smiled and didn't persecute Klein on this issue anymore. He just glanced at Leonard beside him and then said, "Klein, how is your Seer potion digesting?"
"It's already digested more than half…" Hearing this, Klein answered almost subconsciously, but immediately realized something. He looked at Leonard beside him and found that Leonard was looking at them, but his expression didn't show any surprise.
Seeing him look over, Leonard, who had caught the key words and was listening attentively, finally reacted and showed a surprised and puzzled expression, saying, "What, what digestion? Shouldn't it be mastering the potion?"
Poet, your acting is too exaggerated. Even I'm better at acting than you… Klein complained in his heart, thinking of Leonard's previous speeches that seemed full of chuunibyou, and he understood.
The other party also knew the Acting Method, and indeed had secrets… and Lin Ruo also knew this secret.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked this in front of Leonard.
Lin Ruo, who had indeed deliberately asked this in front of Leonard, smiled at this moment and said, "Say hello to Pallez Zoroast for me!"
Although he gave up the decision to wear a monocle to provoke Grandpa Pallez, Lin Ruo's sudden move was not a whim.
He did this partly to convey to Leonard the message that "Pallez Zoroast is trustworthy; even the Blessed of the Goddess has stamped his approval," so that Leonard would no longer be so wary and resistant to his grandfather, and would believe his words earlier, play his role well, and strive to advance, instead of being a salted fish all day long—oh no, even salted fish are more diligent than him!
On the one hand, it was to give Pallez Zoroast a warning, conveying the message that "I know you are parasitizing Leonard; don't do anything excessive." Given his status as the Blessed of the Goddess and the fact that Grandpa was currently in an extremely weak state, this warning still carried some weight.
Finally, Lin Ruo wanted to try whether Pallez Zoroast recognized him.
Since Mr. Azik might know him, then Pallez Zoroast, who was also an angel who had lived for so long, might indeed know him as well.
"Pa, Pallez Zoroast?" Leonard repeated the name Lin Ruo said in a daze. At this moment, he also reacted, Lin Ruo knew his secret.
Forgetting his surprise, Leonard asked, "Blessed Lord, do you know the old man?"
So you've been calling him old man so early… Tsk!
Lin Ruo slandered in his heart, but on the surface, he still smiled and said, "You should ask Him this question."
"Him?" Having perked up and therefore having a straightly increased IQ, Leonard immediately caught the key point of this sentence and said as if to himself, "Old man, you're actually an angel… Oh, right, so your name is Pallez Zoroast?"
No way, Poet, not only did you not know that your grandfather was an angel, but you didn't even know his name?
Although he didn't understand the situation either, Klein, who had vaguely guessed something through the conversation between Lin Ruo and Leonard, couldn't help but complain in his heart at this moment.
At the same time, he also felt like he had heard the surname Zoroast somewhere… Klein thought for a while and finally successfully recalled the relevant matter.
That's right, Lin Ruo had popularized it to him. This seemed to be an angel family from the Fourth Epoch, mastering the Marauder pathway…
At this time, Leonard seemed to have received a reply from Pallez, looked at Lin Ruo, and said, "Blessed Lord, the old man says he doesn't know you."
Doesn't recognize me… Lin Ruo lowered his eyes, not too disappointed, then raised his eyes again and smiled, "Leonard, digest the potion well and strive to advance… The protagonist should have the appearance of a protagonist, shouldn't he?"
Leonard was stunned, and then like a crab just out of the pot, his entire face turned red.
Although he was very chuunibyou himself, and even said things like "Two protagonists have met" to Klein, it didn't mean that Leonard didn't have a sense of shame.
So when Lin Ruo, the Blessed One who held a high position in Leonard's heart, said this to him, Leonard's sense of shame exploded instantly, and he instantly realized what it meant to be socially dead.
He wished he could dig a hole on the spot and bury himself.
Witnessing all of this, Klein couldn't help but laugh, although he felt it was very unkind.
Although being persecuted is very shameful, it has to be said that watching others being persecuted is really joyful!
Having persecuted the "True Protagonist" and feeling quite comfortable, Lin Ruo looked at Klein at this time and said, "Let's go, Klein, today is the first day of special training!"
