"Actually, I'm already a Hunter!" Lin Ruo wore a smile that matched the original owner's personality.
Viscount Glaint was taken aback for a moment, then revealed a happy expression, and said, "That's really great! By the way, since you've become a Hunter, that means you've come into contact with the real world of Beyonders, right? Can I join your circle?"
"I can't introduce you to the circle for the time being… but I will keep an eye out for Alchemist potion formulas for you, rest assured." Lin Ruo paused here, and said, "Actually, although I haven't obtained the complete formula, I've already confirmed that the main ingredients for the Alchemist formula are the horn of an adult unicorn pegasus, and 3 grams of venom crystals from a crown jellyfish. You can prepare them in advance, it's just a pity that the auxiliary materials are still unknown."
"Wait, let me write it down!" Viscount Glaint immediately pounced on the table, picked up a fountain pen, tore off a piece of paper, and wrote down the main ingredients that Lin Ruo had just mentioned.
Then he walked up to Lin Ruo, reached out and gently hammered the latter's shoulder, and said, "Good brother."
Lin Ruo smiled without saying a word.
Viscount Glaint then remembered something and asked, "By the way, what exactly did you come to me for this time? Is there something you need my help with?"
"Well, there is indeed one thing that I need your help with…"
…
Just as Lin Ruo had expected, persuading Viscount Glaint to agree to be a middleman didn't take him much effort.
After all, Rudy Flair and Viscount Glaint did have a good relationship, and the matter itself wasn't a big deal—didn't Viscount Glaint easily introduce Magician Fors to Justice Audrey in the original work?
However, although he had agreed, it was impossible for Viscount Glaint to arrange a meeting between the two immediately. After all, out of consideration for confidentiality and safety, Viscount Glaint couldn't let the two meet privately. He would inevitably have to arrange a salon or ball like today, and then use the cover of other people to let the two meet.
This would require Viscount Glaint to spend some time preparing.
Fortunately, Lin Ruo was not in a hurry. On the one hand, he could take this time to monitor the situation around other "suspicious targets".
On the other hand, although Lin Ruo wanted to understand the truth of the Secret Order, he also understood that this was not something that could be investigated overnight, and with his current Sequence 9 strength, if he really found out, he would probably have to hug the thigh of the Evernight Goddess and ask the Goddess for help.
"Logically speaking, if it really is an invasion, the Goddess wouldn't be doing nothing… Asking Her for help shouldn't be considered a gift to me, right?" After leaving Viscount Glaint's villa and returning to the office, Lin Ruo stood at the door, taking out his keys while muttering silently.
He suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly, then remembered something, opened the mailbox at the door, and suddenly froze.
At this moment, besides the newspapers and magazines that Lin Ruo subscribed to, there was also a thick envelope lying quietly in the mailbox.
Lin Ruo picked up the envelope and found that it was not signed. When he opened it, he saw that it was full of gold pounds.
Lin Ruo narrowed his eyes, counted them slightly, and found that the gold pounds in the envelope were exactly one hundred and twenty pounds.
"Irimei Cati… Tsk!" Thinking of what this gentleman had said when he came in the morning, Lin Ruo felt a little complicated for a moment, but he still put the money away, then took the newspapers and magazines from the mailbox, locked the mailbox, and entered the house.
"The problem of contacting Audrey has been solved… As for Fors, should I contact her as a victim of the same coup, or as a reader!" Sitting at his desk, Lin Ruo lightly bit the cap of his fountain pen, pondering silently in his heart.
He had already decided to contact Fors and Xio. On the one hand, these two people had the hidden threads of Mr. Door and the George III Apotheosis, so contact was necessary. On the other hand, as a "Lord of the Mysteries" fan, Lin Ruo also had a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
After all, he had come to the world of "Lord of the Mysteries". How could he not get to know the future Magician and Justice?
As for the others, Little Sun Derrick Berg was far away in the Land of the Gods, and he couldn't get to know him even if he wanted to. Hanged Man Alger Wilson was the number one brain-supplementer and old schemer of the Tarot Club, so rashly contacting him might have the opposite effect. Hermit Cattleya was the same… However, Moon Emlyn White, who was also one of the Three Stooges of the Sun, Moon, and Stars, could be met.
Well, a direct visit would be inappropriate, but he could pay more attention to the latest dolls on the market recently, and then arrange a chance encounter.
After easily setting the strategy for contacting Moon Emlyn White, Lin Ruo continued to think about the previous question, and soon made a decision.
He wanted to contact Fors as a reader, and then inadvertently reveal some information about the Full Moon Whisper and Mr. Door, inducing the other party to take the initiative to find him.
The main reason for giving up the latter option was that Lin Ruo considered Fors and Xio's identities as wild Beyonders, and Xio's caution about the events of that year. Directly contacting the other party with the latter identity would not only make it difficult for the other party to believe him, but would also easily scare them.
If they were scared away, it would be bad.
Since this was the case, it would be better to pretend to be a reader, and then talk about the topics that Fors cared about in a casual tone, inducing the other party to take the initiative to explore, and then slowly sprinkle the remaining bait, letting the other party work hard before getting the answer. This would not easily arouse suspicion.
After all, people are very complex animals, and they are always suspicious of people or things that come easily and approach them proactively, but they will firmly believe in things that they have worked so hard to learn.
Thinking of this, Lin Ruo immediately planned to go to the bookstore.
He was going to buy the book written by Fors. After reading it, he would write a letter to the other party as a reader—to pretend to be a reader, he naturally couldn't be unprepared.
"I'm really getting busier and busier…" Holding the "Stormwind Mountain Villa" that he had just obtained, Lin Ruo looked up at the setting sun slanting across the sky, and couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the pile of broken things in the future.
But he didn't feel too much emotion, and hurried home.
After all, tonight, besides reading "Stormwind Mountain Villa", Lin Ruo also had to go to Saint Samuel Cathedral for tutoring!
…
On Friday, a rainstorm struck Tingen, but it also brought a hint of coolness to the sweltering summer.
Inside the Blackthorn Security Company, Lin Ruo, who had deliberately chosen to come at noon, stared slightly blankly at the position of the door.
He was naturally waiting, waiting for Ince Zangwill to arrange a kidnapping incident to help the Nighthawks find the Antigonus family notebook, now that Hanass Vincent and Sirius Arapis had been arrested, and Riel Bieber was hiding in the area under the jurisdiction of the Storm Church.
As for Klein, he was naturally eating lunch with the others in the Blackthorn Security Company.
"Da da—"
Footsteps came from behind him. Lin Ruo turned around and saw Dunn, who had originally been invited by the bishop to the church to discuss something, appearing in the room, looking a little hurried.
"What happened, Captain Dunn?" Before Dunn Smith could speak, Lin Ruo asked.
He knew that since Dunn Smith had suddenly appeared here, something must have happened that he didn't know about.
"We've found Ray Bieber's whereabouts. The information was provided by the little rat controlled by Your Excellency… The members of the Secret Order found him one step ahead of us…"
