章 369: Chapter 370: Klein Faintly Perceives the Truth
"And I... will fulfill my promise to bring your family back on the day this world is safe."
Hearing the Angel of Secrets' words, Klein was stunned for a moment. He immediately recalled the night when the Angel of Secrets revealed his relationship with Lynn.
Klein could still clearly remember the sentence, "I will help you see your family again and reunite with them." He had once wondered how he could see his family and friends again if he couldn't return home. He even suspected that the Angel of Secrets intended to bring his parents and friends to this world.
But at that time, it was just speculation. Now, this speculation was confirmed by the Angel of Secrets.
But why?
Klein looked at the Angel of Secrets with doubt, but deep down, he already had a vague suspicion, a premonition, though it was so cruel that he instinctively avoided it and refused to believe it.
So Klein only asked, "This is the best outcome, isn't it?"
Lynn was silent for a few seconds. He knew that Klein might have already faintly guessed the truth, but he wasn't ready to shatter the fragile illusion just yet.
It was too cruel, and Klein wasn't fully prepared.
So, the Angel of Secrets merely nodded silently and said, "It is indeed the best outcome."
Klein's fingertips trembled slightly. He pressed his lips tightly together, struggling to suppress the question that was almost on the tip of his tongue. Forcing a smile, he said, "That's good..."
The room suddenly fell into silence. No one spoke, not even Azik or Medici, who were deep in thought, breaking the stillness of the moment.
A few seconds later, Klein seemed to have suppressed the turmoil in his heart and asked, "Since you're going to meet with Amon, does that mean you'll be leaving Backlund for a while? Or is Amon already... here?"
This was a change of topic, but it was also something Klein was genuinely concerned about.
"Don't worry, even if Amon is in Backlund, it would be only an avatar," Angel of Secrets smiled reassuringly and then added with a brighter smile, "I will indeed be leaving Backlund for a while. More precisely, I will be heading to what you call the Forsaken Land of the Gods."
"The Forsaken Land of the Gods?" Klein was taken aback. He looked at the angel with some surprise and asked, "You can go to the Forsaken Land?"
'Isn't it said that even the Seven Gods have no way to enter the Forsaken Land of the Gods? Uh, wait, if it's the Angel of Secrets, I guess it's not surprising...' Klein suddenly recalled Angel of Secrets' formidable deeds in the Fourth Epoch, and the surprise quickly faded.
After all, Angel of Secrets had done so many unbelievable things; this was just another one.
"I'm just borrowing the convenience of the True Creator," Angel of Secrets said modestly, without boasting. Then, as if remembering something, he glanced at Klein and said meaningfully, "Unfortunately, the passage isn't safe enough. It can only accommodate a few people at a time. However, if you have something you'd like me to bring to someone, you can prepare it now. If there's anything you'd like me to do, you can tell me now, though I may not necessarily agree."
Lynn was obviously referring to Little Sun, Derrick.
While the Fool's "Sefirah Castle Logistics Company" could also deliver items to the Forsaken Land of the Gods through sacrifice and bestowal, considering the Fool's image and the current situation in the City of Silver, the "Sefirah Castle Logistics" wasn't suitable for large-scale deliveries.
But Lynn had no such scruples. He didn't mind helping the Fool gain some presence in the City of Silver—after all, Lynn himself didn't lack followers. As long as his avatars worked hard, he'd have plenty of followers in the future, with the entire Church of Steam and Machinery as potential believers. But for the Fool to gather enough anchor points in a few years, he was counting on the City of Silver and Moon City. Otherwise, where else could he quickly gather enough believers?
So, Lynn didn't mind helping out his partner in this regard.
After all, if something went wrong and the people of the City of Silver and Moon City didn't believe in the Fool, the future would be disastrous.
Hearing this, Azik and Medici both glanced at Klein. The former was curious, while the latter looked at Klein with deep meaning.
Klein also began to ponder Lynn's words. It didn't surprise him that the Angel of Secrets knew about Little Sun; he was merely considering whether to send something to Derrick. The situation in the City of Silver was terrible, and although the Fool couldn't do much to help, Klein didn't mind contributing a little to improve Derrick's life.
Unfortunately, the Fool's power was limited. He could help Derrick improve his life, but improving the entire City of Silver's situation was beyond his current ability.
"Actually, you might be able to..." The Angel of Secrets suddenly said, clearly understanding what Klein was thinking, and continued with a smile, "At least in the original history, you did help the entire City of Silver improve their lives."
Klein was stunned again. He couldn't help but ask, "The City of Silver has at least tens of thousands of people. How did I manage to do that?"
Helping tens of thousands of people improve their lives—did he really have that ability? Klein thought about his empty wallet and began to doubt himself.
However, Klein had a little trick up his sleeve when asking this question—he wanted to see if he could copy his own actions from the original history.
"Of course, it wasn't with your perpetually empty wallet," Lynn said, his smile growing even more amused. He continued, "You improved the lives of the people in the City of Silver primarily through mushrooms."
Klein was completely bewildered. He looked at the Angel of Secrets several times, uncertainly asking, "Mushrooms? What are you talking about...?"
"Do you know Frank Lee?" Lynn asked with a smile.
"Frank Lee..." Klein showed a thoughtful expression as he searched his memory, finally uncertainly saying, "You mean the vice-captain of the Future with a bounty of seven thousand pounds, the toxin expert?"
Klein did know who Frank Lee was, mainly because when he was studying Hurricane Lieutenant's bounty, he also took a look at the bounties of the other pirate admirals of the same rank and their subordinates.
He had to admit that the generous bounties had left a deep impression on him, so much so that even after so much time had passed, he could still recall them from the depths of his mind.
"That's right, him." Lynn nodded and said seriously, "He's a talent, though a bit special, but he's the key to improving the lives of the people in the City of Silver. You'll meet him in the near future."
What? You're worried about the butterfly effect making it so that Klein won't encounter him?
Nonsense, if that happens, Lynn will personally step in and ensure their meeting. The prophecy he made cannot be false.
