บท 329: Chapter 330: Both Want to Trick Each Other

Roselle's attitude was both overly familiar and enthusiastic. Lynn glanced at him, easily discerning Roselle's intentions. It was clear that Roselle wanted to probe his bottom line, hoping to trick the Angel of Secrets.

Roselle's idea wasn't surprising, given Lynn's often ruthless behavior in certain aspects.

"I'm not really that much familiar with him..." Although he clearly understood Roselle's intentions, it didn't stop Lynn from showing a dissatisfied expression and shouting, "He is always being so mysterious, and speaking in riddles. I'll beat him up one day."

Lynn didn't mind guiding Roselle into self-destruction.

"Exactly, you're right! People who like to speak in riddles should be beaten whenever seen," Roselle agreed, his eyes lighting up in agreement.

"You think so too? Then let's find an opportunity in the future to beat him," Lynn said excitedly. "You're a Sequence 0 right? You should be pretty strong..."

"Ahem, my situation is quite special. I can't leave the tomb at will..." Roselle coughed lightly.

"So, if you could leave the tomb, would you beat him up?" Lynn immediately followed up.

"Of course!" Roselle answered without thinking. But as soon as he spoke, he realized he was still in the dream space of the Angel of Secrets, and he might be eavesdropping. He quickly added, "Of course not, Lynn... The Angel of Secrets is like a brother to me, how could I beat him!"

'Roselle, you're shameless!'

Lynn glanced at him, not hiding his thoughts.

"Ahem..." Roselle coughed lightly again and then casually asked, "I heard you mention that you don't have much memory."

"I indeed don't have many past memories. Maybe the Angel of Secrets sealed that part..." Lynn nodded, seemingly without any intention to hide anything. He then looked at Roselle and asked, "I'm currently searching for my past memories. Since you know him, do you know anything about it?"

"I'm really not sure about that..." Roselle shook his head. Then, he seemed to remember something and looked at Lynn with a subtle expression. "Actually, if you don't have any memories, it might not be because they were sealed. Maybe you just haven't experienced those things yet..."

Roselle suddenly recalled the very special trait of the Angel of Secrets, existing simultaneously in the present, past, and future.

In this situation, the claim of Lynn, the human half of the Angel of Secrets, not having past memories might mean either that part of his memory was truly sealed or that those events simply hadn't happened yet, so he hadn't "remembered" them.

"What do you mean?" Lynn displayed a confused expression, his acting flawless.

Roselle opened his mouth, initially wanting to voice his speculation directly, but then he swallowed his words.

No matter what, the young man before him was the human half of the Angel of Secrets, and without memories or power at that. Roselle didn't believe Lynn ended up like this without a purpose. If the Angel of Secrets hadn't told him these things, it indicated that these matters might not be suitable for this stage.

Although Roselle desired revenge for the suffering he had endured, he wasn't reckless. He was grateful to Lynn for freeing him from the corrupted personality and allowing him to see his daughter. In this situation, he naturally didn't plan to break the Angel of Secrets' plan rashly.

Moreover, the most crucial point was Roselle's uncertainty. If he really revealed this matter, he might face the Angel of Secrets' retaliation.

'If those unspeakable diaries were read to Bernadette by Lynn, or if Lynn, in his dissatisfaction, informed Bernadette about his transmigration...' The mere thought of these possibilities eliminated any desire Roselle had to reveal the truth. He shook his head vaguely and said, "Nothing, you'll understand in the future..."

Lynn glanced at him, having prepared for the "truth" to be revealed and then acted accordingly. Now, he pouted and complained, "Alright, I get it. You guys are all riddlers..."

Klein, standing nearby, watched their interaction with a subtle expression. He could clearly see Roselle's intentions. Being extremely familiar with Lynn, Klein also discerned the subtext of Lynn's complaint: all riddlers should be beaten up.

Emperor Roselle might not know, but Klein certainly did. Lynn had long harbored a strong desire to beat up Roselle.

At this moment, these two seemed to be evenly matched adversaries, each scheming against the other. Roselle wanted to use Lynn to trick the Angel of Secrets, while Lynn likely aimed to guide Roselle into tricking the Angel of Secrets, causing mutual destruction.

"Let's not talk about this anymore..." Roselle didn't mind Lynn's evaluation. Realizing he couldn't find any points to trick the Angel of Secrets from Lynn, he turned to Klein and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you must be following one of the three paths: Seer, Marauder, or Apprentice?"

"I'm a Magician on the Seer path," Klein didn't hide this. He looked at Roselle and, recalling the early days of his transmigration, couldn't help but feel sentimental. "The reason I chose this path is, strictly speaking, related to your diary, Mr. Roselle."

"Just call me Roselle. No need for formalities," Roselle waved his hand dismissively. Seeming lost in thought, he said, "I've always wondered if everything would have been different if I had taken one of those three paths..."

"But then I think, if it were me, maybe this world would be hopeless..." Roselle's expression grew complex.

Now, Roselle could naturally realize when he had been corrupted by the Mother Goddess of Depravity. If he had followed one of the three paths of the Seer, or even became the Lord of Mysteries, it might have been an even greater disaster for the world. The Mother Goddess of Depravity might not be able to control a Lord of Mysteries directly, but through corrupting Roselle, she could have indirectly controlled Sefirah Castle.

In the original story, Mother Tree of Desire once tried to manipulate Klein to gain control of Sefirah Castle. Although Roselle didn't know the original plot, he was aware of such tactics.
