Truly formidable... Klein clicked his tongue in amazement. Until today, he hadn't thought that the Numinous Episcopate was so powerful, seemingly even stronger than the Aurora Order he was familiar with.
However, the True Creator worshiped by the Aurora Order is a real Evil God, while the God of Death worshiped by the Numinous Episcopate had long perished. From this perspective, between these two secret organizations, the Aurora Order might actually be the stronger one... Klein instinctively compared the power of the Numinous Episcopate with the Aurora Order.
"And the Artificial Death Project is essentially the core idea of the Artificial Death Faction. I'm not very clear on the specifics, but one thing is certain: what they are doing is not resurrecting the God of Death, but artificially creating one..." Lynn hesitated for a moment before continuing, "And it seems they've already made some progress."
"I don't know any more details," Lynn said with a cunning smile, "but Sherlock, you promised to write to your teacher and ask if he could meet me. You can't go back on that."
Klein was momentarily stunned, then realized that Lynn had been fishing for information about the Artificial Death all along to increase the bargaining chips for meeting Azik.
Perhaps, knowing that his teacher was the high-sequence Death Pathway Beyonder who killed Qilangos, this seemingly carefree detective had been planning to meet Mr. Azik. The copper whistle, which seemed related to the Artificial Death, provided Lynn with this opportunity.
Although Klein didn't get much information about the Artificial Death, just the details about the Numinous Episcopate were already very valuable to him, so he had no complaints.
After all, even without Lynn's request, once Klein learned that the other party might be connected to Mr. Azik's past, he would still have written to Mr. Azik.
From this perspective, this deal was not a loss at all.
In this amicable atmosphere, Klein helped Lynn handle the feathers in the tomb, refilled the pit, and moved the unconscious Kapusky back to his house.
Once Lynn dealt with Kapusky's issues, the two left Aika Street, had a late-night snack, and then returned to Minsk Street.
After bidding farewell to Lynn, Klein returned to 15 Minsk Street and began writing to Mr. Azik, detailing the events of the day.
...
"A complete soul of the Death Consul and the fragmented soul state of Azik Eggers are rare samples for me..." Lynn stood on the deck of the ship heading to the Southern Continent, leaning against the railing, lost in thought.
As an incarnation dependent on an unknown entity, if he truly detached from the main body, his soul would certainly have some gaps and become less complete.
So if he really wanted to detach in the future, Lynn would need to figure out how to repair his missing soul. In this regard, Azik Eggers was a suitable sample for practice.
"But this is not necessarily a bad thing for Azik. I won't mess around. I will conduct experiments ensuring Azik's safety. If it succeeds, it will be better than him continuing to lose memory and reincarnate."
As Lynn thought about this, he sensed something and turned his head. As expected, he saw Amon, dressed neatly.
"Good morning, Libert. We are about to arrive in the Balam Empire. Do you need me to be your guide and show you around?" Amon said with a friendly smile, seemingly having forgotten that he had been knocked out cold for peeking at Lynn.
Lynn raised an eyebrow and glanced at Amon's chest, where he saw a "white chrysanthemum" pinned, the very "gift" he had given Amon.
"It seems you like the gift I gave you," Lynn said with a smile, aiming to jab.
Amon's smile didn't falter. "I indeed like it," he said meaningfully, clearly hinting at some form of revenge.
Lynn understood Amon's implication that the latter planned to return the favor.
This didn't surprise Lynn. With Amon's mischievous personality, it was normal for him to want revenge after being tricked. From Amon's perspective, Lynn might have some cards up his sleeve, but wasn't very powerful.
In a sense, Amon was somewhat right... Lynn thought, smiling as he replied, "Sorry, Mr. Amon, but Mr. Bethel has already agreed to be my guide, so I must decline your kind offer."
Lynn wasn't foolish. Without the ability to directly beat Amon, and knowing Amon wouldn't try to steal his thoughts or possess him after a recent loss, Lynn wasn't about to deliver himself as a treat to Amon.
However, once some time had passed, Lynn wouldn't mind accepting Amon's "delivery."
"That's really a pity," Amon said, his expression filled with regret. He then turned to the approaching Mr. Door, adjusted his crystal monocle, and continued, "But I think you won't mind another person joining your tour. After all, traveling is more enjoyable with company."
Bethel Abraham: ...
He was just passing by, seeing Amon and Libert together, and decided to check on them out of concern.
Although he had many things he wanted to say, Bethel chose to side with Libert in this situation.
"It all depends on Libert's opinion. I am merely accompanying him and not the one making decisions."
Mr. Door's words were a hint to Amon to stop messing around, indicating that Lynn was in charge, not him.
This was Mr. Door's final act of solidarity with his colleague.
If Amon didn't catch on, or chose to ignore it, then Bethel would have no choice but to help Libert beat Amon to avoid his fall.
Mr. Door thought about this and felt a bit eager.
Even though Mr. Door sometimes found Amon extremely annoying, with a Semi-Great Old One backing him now, he too felt like taking action.
In a way, this was true camaraderie!
