"It's you who's the strange one. Looking like this, you wouldn't have cooperated with the guys from the Psychology Alchemists, would you?"

Hearing Lin Ruo's words, Medici didn't answer immediately. He narrowed his eyes, his gaze first falling on Lin Ruo, who was standing in front of Klein, undisguisedly protecting him, and then he looked at Klein, who was being shielded behind someone. A hint of seriousness finally appeared in his assessing gaze.

To be honest, this was the first time Medici had seen Lin Ruo protecting someone as if protecting a cub. In his previous memories, even when protecting those mortals, the other party had never been like this—even though they were standing in front of them in the same way, the alienation between Him and the mortals at that time was completely different from the obvious closeness displayed at this moment, which clearly conveyed 'I've got this person's back.'

Not to mention when interacting with other people. Medici had never been interested in getting to know Lin Ruo's little friends, and among his and Lin Ruo's mutual friends, basically no one would be protected by Lin Ruo like this.

As for Medici himself—in the years when Grandpa Medici himself spent time with a certain Little Black, the one who played the role of protector had always been the Angel of War, the powerhouse of the Red Priest pathway, the King of Angels.

This was initially because of the Lord's instructions, and later it became a habit.

Therefore, Medici had always regarded himself as half an elder in front of Lin Ruo. Even though a certain Lin Ruo never admitted it, Medici was used to treating Lin Ruo as a younger brother or junior.

Therefore, seeing this scene in front of him so suddenly, Medici's mood was a little subtle.

"Student?"

Medici repeated the word, his critical gaze falling on Klein, assessing this black-haired youth who had a scholarly air and looked even a little weak, as if evaluating the value of an item.

He asked, "Little thing, what's your name? What Sequence are you? Which pathway?"

"Before asking others these things, shouldn't you introduce yourself first?" Facing Medici's gaze that seemed to be assessing an item, Klein immediately felt a little uncomfortable. If he were alone, he might have endured it, but after all, his biggest backer was right here, so Klein naturally became much tougher.

After all, from Lin Ruo's attitude just now, Klein had already discerned a message—Lin Ruo was not afraid of this Angel of War.

In fact, Lin Ruo's words just now seemed to be speaking to Medici, but they were also simultaneously speaking to him—don't be afraid, I've got your back!

"Ha!" Medici suddenly laughed, his smile flamboyant and unrestrained. At this moment, he also detached himself from the glass window and sat on the windowsill like a boss, crossing his legs and looking down at Klein, saying, "You can call me Medici, currently Sequence 2, Hunter pathway."

"It's your turn, little thing."

As he said this, he pressed his hand on his cheek. This was a not-so-noticeable action, but it made Lin Ruo, who had been watching the show with great interest since the two of them started talking, blink.

He guessed… Medici was forcibly suppressing Sauron and Einhorn, who were about to speak.

In order to take sides and watch the show, Lin Ruo decided to speak, "Isn't it Sauron Einhorn Medici?"

Medici, who originally had the demeanor of a big shot and whose aura was becoming more and more aggressive, suddenly paused slightly.

Illusory wounds finally appeared on both sides of his cheeks at this moment, like two mouths, chattering away on the left and right.

"That's right, that's right, what Medici, do you think we don't exist?"

"Tsk, how old are you, still arguing with a child here, Angel of War, is that all you've got?"

"Embarrassing!"

"Pui!"

"Shut up!" Medici shouted in a low voice, his voice carrying a bit of anger. He rubbed his cheeks fiercely, and with his movements, the illusory mouths on them disappeared without a trace, as if everything just now was just an illusion.

However, that was obviously not an illusion.

Klein, who witnessed all of this, twitched the corner of his mouth. If Medici's feeling to him just now was unrestrained and flamboyant, like a scorching flame, and made people feel as if they could smell the rusty scent of war through him, then after this interlude, the other party suddenly took on a bit of a silly feeling in his eyes.

After all, there aren't many people these days who can argue with themselves and still argue like a three-person comedy show.

But what's going on? Did Medici have a split personality?

No, that's not right, I remember Lin Ruo seemed to have mentioned the names Sauron and Einhorn…

Not knowing about Medici's death, but having been tutored by Lin Ruo and having some basic understanding of the Fourth Epoch big shots, Klein recalled while introducing himself, "Klein Moretti, Sequence 7 Magician, Seer pathway."

"Seer?" Medici raised his eyebrows. He suddenly laughed, his smile playful, and looked at Lin Ruo, saying, "Lin Ruo, don't you think it's a little too late to start cultivating him now?"

"Do you really think he'll make it in time?"

Obviously, after knowing Klein's pathway, Medici had already figured out many things.

Of course, he also knew that this world needed a Lord of the Mysteries, and he could probably guess the gods' intentions. At this juncture, Lin Ruo actually took a Seer pathway Beyonder as a student. How could Medici not guess what he was up to?

"I don't think it's too late. How would I know if a miracle will happen if I don't try?" Lin Ruo said, not surprised by Medici's quick understanding.

"I thought you would be more supportive of Abraham." Medici looked at Lin Ruo thoughtfully, "So something really happened to Abraham?"

As someone who had been trapped in underground ruins and had only recently escaped, Medici, even though he could collect some information through the descendants of Tudor and some other channels over the years, ultimately knew limited information, and naturally still had a superficial understanding of some things.

And Medici had obviously not had time to collect information about Abraham.

"Abraham…" Lin Ruo paused, thinking of Mr. Pallez's words that he often traveled with Abraham, and his mood was a little complicated, saying, "Something did happen to Him… Otherwise, perhaps He would have been a good choice!"

No, it can't even be described as a good choice.

After all, given the character and strength shown by Mr. Door, if He hadn't had an accident, the Evernight Goddess would probably have directly supported Him.

In that case, Klein might not have been born at all, or even if he was born, he wouldn't have to carry the burden of saving the world on his shoulders alone. He could choose whether or not to compete for the position of Lord of the Mysteries, and he could choose whether or not to hand over the Sefirah Castle to Mr. Door, and then just be a Sequence 3 that belonged only to himself.

With Mr. Door's character, plus his support, Klein could completely live according to his own ideas.

Unfortunately, there are no ifs.
