Capítulo 122: Chapter 123: The Deputy is Ouroboros
Lynn raised his eyes to look at the Ancient Sun God. The playful demeanor he usually carried was gone, replaced by a deep steadiness that seemed to have accumulated over the years.
This version of Lynn drew surprised glances from Sasrir and Medici, both unable to hide their astonishment.
Lynn ignored their gazes and continued to look straight into the eyes of the Ancient Sun God,
"Perhaps you think that my desire to establish the Eye of Secrets is just a passing whim. Perhaps you believe that once I digest the potion and find the Eye of Secrets useless, I will abandon it. Or maybe, in your view, I haven't fully realized what it means to want to establish the Eye of Secrets."
"I admit, I'm not as grand and noble as you are. But I am definitely not someone who shirks responsibility either," Lynn said firmly, his eyes serious. "I am fully aware of the weight I am taking on. Even though I dislike heavy workloads, now that I've decided to take on this responsibility, as long as the divine kingdom exists, I will fulfill my duty. As long as the people of the Eye of Secrets don't betray me, I will never abandon them."
"This is my promise. You may question it, but this will always be my answer."
Lynn's words were not mere lies to deceive the Ancient Sun God; he genuinely planned it this way. After all, he needed tools, faith, an anchor, the digestion of potions, and preparations for becoming an Above the Sequence in the future.
So as long as his followers did not abandon him, Lynn naturally would not abandon his followers.
Of course, if the divine kingdom perished in the future, that would be another matter. At that time, the responsibility for education might not continue, but he would take good care of the people of the Eye of Secrets... Lynn added in his heart.
It wasn't that he lacked responsibility, but the situation simply wouldn't allow it.
The Ancient Sun God quietly listened to Lynn's words. His golden eyes scrutinized Lynn, seemingly pondering something or merely observing him.
A few seconds later, the Ancient Sun God nodded and said, "I apologize. I shouldn't have doubted your determination. Since you are prepared, go ahead. I will support you."
Hearing this, Sasrir breathed a slight sigh of relief but couldn't help rubbing his temples. He knew very well that these words from Lord meant that Lynn's "Eye of Secrets" would enter the formal establishment phase.
Undoubtedly, this meant that Sasrir would have to work overtime again. After all, logically, the Lord needed to assign a trusted and capable person to assist Lynn.
And apart from himself, Sasrir couldn't think of anyone else suitable.
This made Sasrir sigh. For a moment, he really felt he should protest to his Lord about his overloaded workload and perhaps request a few competent assistants.
Although Leodero and the others were not particularly good at this, as Lynn had said, even Medici, a child of the Red Priest Pathway, could manage the work well. If they were truly determined to learn, it might not be impossible... Sasrir thought distractedly. Then he heard the warm voice of the Ancient Sun God.
"However, considering the workload and your lack of experience in handling such matters, if you don't mind, I hope to send a deputy to assist you. Is that alright?" The Ancient Sun God asked gently, his attitude not forceful, as if genuinely consulting Lynn.
Of course, that's no problem! I've been waiting for someone to help share the workload!
Lynn nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course, I look forward to having help."
"Then let Ouroboros be your deputy. He will assist you in completing the related work," the Ancient Sun God said with a smile.
Hearing this, Lynn instinctively glanced at Sasrir, then looked shocked at the Ancient Sun God, confirming, "Ouroboros?"
What the hell?! Ouroboros as a deputy, are you sure he's not going to mess things up?
Sasrir also frowned slightly at this moment. Though having a less burdened workload was nice, even Sasrir felt that Ouroboros might not be suitable as Lynn's deputy.
Sasrir knew Lynn's character too well. A deputy should be mature, stable, and capable, able to somewhat curb Lynn's erratic ideas. Even if not himself, it should be Aucuses.
Medici also looked at the Ancient Sun God with confusion. Over the past few days, he had interacted with Ouroboros a few times, and the deepest impression was—that's one dumb snake.
If not for certain concerns, Medici could have easily fooled that dumb snake into being sold and counting money for him.
Sending such a character to assist Lynn... Just thinking about it, Medici felt it was unreliable.
"Originally, I planned for Sasrir to assist you, but now I think you are right. Sasrir's workload is indeed too heavy. Some tasks should be delegated to others," the Ancient Sun God said seriously, his warm smile unchanged, but his words were icy and piercing.
Lynn: ... Sorry, I was wrong. Please let Sasrir, the dependable caretaker, share my work, thank you!
Medici's expression turned peculiar, and he muttered audibly, "Reap what you sow."
By the way, he had learned this saying from Lynn.
"Red, it's time to test our brotherhood. Put aside your Red Legion of War and help me establish the Eye of Secrets!"
Lynn wrapped his arm tightly around Medici's neck, applying enough force that if Medici were not a mythological creature, he might have suffocated. Lynn's smile was bright, filled with a sense of reason, "Or else, I'll beat you up!"
Medici: δηβκτΒ (Second Epoch profanity)
Today, Medici still wanted to beat up his brother.
"Alright, stop fooling around in front of the Lord. This is too disrespectful," seeing the two about to fight again, Sasrir quickly intervened, pulling the two apart before looking at the Ancient Sun God and saying, "I apologize. It's my lack of discipline that allowed these two children to act so presumptuously."
"It's alright. I know you can't control them, and I never expected you to make Lynn a well-behaved child. That was unrealistic from the start. As far as caring goes, you've done well," the Ancient Sun God said warmly, as if comforting, though the words were so blunt that Sasrir was unsure how express gratitude.
