Capítulo 351: Chapter 352: Artisan is Still Very Cowardly Today
Artisan was not afraid of Lynn and the others being exposed; what he feared was that his attempt to deceive the Eternal Blazing Sun would be revealed. If that happened, he, a Sequence 1 who wasn't good at combat, would be finished.
It was known that there were four gods at this banquet: the Eternal Blazing Sun, the Evernight Goddess, Trunsoest, and the Lord of Storms. Even though the Evernight Goddess was secretly their ally, the other three were formidable, not to mention the angels and saints present.
Although he trusted Lynn's abilities, Artisan was genuinely terrified that if something unexpected happened and Lynn got held up, he would be doomed.
"Nothing," Aucuses shook his head and looked at the Angel of Crafts, continuing the previous topic, "Are you really planning to prematurely accommodate the uniqueness of the Paragon?"
Yes, Artisan's plan to lure the Eternal Blazing Sun out and ensure he carried the uniqueness of the Paragon was to inform him that he intended to accommodate the uniqueness early and become Paragon.
Theoretically, this was feasible, requiring only a simplified version of the Paragon promotion ceremony.
So, Artisan, without changing his expression, continued, "I have no choice. The world is becoming more dangerous, and if I don't find a way to improve myself, I feel it will be very perilous."
At this point, Artisan thought of the beating he had taken and sincerely sighed, "I happen to have a very cost-effective opportunity to complete the ceremony to accommodate the uniqueness of the Paragon, so I plan to give it a try."
Hearing this, Aucuses glanced at Artisan without any surprise at his cowardly demeanor.
The Angel of Crafts was such a timid person that if it weren't for his weak and easily manipulated nature, Aucuses might not have chosen to support him to become a Paragon.
Therefore, He did not doubt much about Artisan's decision to accommodate the uniqueness of the Paragon early out of fear of death—or rather, Aucuses might have had some doubts, but he couldn't imagine that in just a few days, the previously ambitious Artisan had already obediently started preparing to work for Lynn.
Moreover, Aucuses hadn't remembered much about Lynn—like others, he had obtained memories of interacting with Lynn, but crucial information about Lynn remained vague, just as it had been for Medici before meeting Lynn in person. The information he had about Lynn was also blurry.
Aucuses was merely curious and cautious, inquiring about Mr. Door's son, Libert Abraham, and gathering intelligence in this regard, but he hadn't connected the dots.
Thus, he was easily fooled by Artisan. After taking a sip of wine, he said, "I can give you the Paragon uniqueness early, but I need to witness your accommodation personally. If you fail, I will reclaim this uniqueness."
"This will also prevent any unnecessary accidents."
"Fine!" Artisan nodded without hesitation, speaking with a somewhat timid tone, "I'm also afraid of any accidents. With you there, at least I can feel more at ease."
This was the truth because if he couldn't trick the Eternal Blazing Sun out, he wouldn't be able to explain to Lynn. Having him around did make him feel more secure.
"Heh!" Aucuses, unaware of what his seemingly reliable, weak, and easily manipulated ally was thinking, sneered and then noticed the host of the banquet, the Night Emperor Trunsoest, and his queen finally making their grand entrance. He downed his wine and approached the Night Emperor to greet him.
"I thought you weren't going to attend this banquet tonight," Aucuses said with a warm smile, which belied his capacity for betrayal, and his significant role in limiting Trunsoest among the Six Gods.
"Sorry, I had to deal with a minor issue, so I was delayed," Trunsoest replied with a smile. His gaze swept across the six gods present, including the Evernight Goddess, the Lord of Storms, and the Eternal Blazing Sun before him, and seemed to linger on Artisan a few steps away. He said calmly:
"Tonight's banquet is livelier than I expected. I didn't think so many people would come."
"Tsk..." Hearing this, Aucuses clicked his tongue, as if recalling something, and said, "Isn't it because of the recent events involving Libert Abraham? Everyone is keen to take this opportunity to discuss about him."
Aucuses's words were not false. Normally, the Night Emperor and his queen's wedding anniversary banquet wouldn't attract so many high-ranking figures. The reason so many came tonight was largely due to Lynn's recent activities, which had made everyone tense, so they took this opportunity to gather and talk.
"Libert Abraham..." Trunsoest murmured the name, showing appropriate curiosity and contemplation, saying, "I've heard a lot about him recently, but I still don't know what kind of individual he is."
His expression was naturally perfect, as if he hadn't just met Lynn moments ago.
"He's not a simple character..." Aucuses shook his head.
After a few more exchanges, Trunsoest casually asked, "I saw you talking with the Angel of Crafts earlier. Were you discussing Libert Abraham?"
Upon hearing this, Aucuses's expression remained unchanged, still with that warm smile, and he nodded, "We did talk about some matters related to him."
Though, in reality, their conversation hadn't touched upon Libert Abraham at all, it didn't stop Aucuses from saying so.
The superficial alliances among the six gods were evident in this moment.
