The Taste of a Demoness isn’t bad

"I..." Klein sighed, then shook his head and said, "To be honest, I am a little hesitant."

"Hesitation is normal. After all, this is a life-long event," Lin Ruo smiled and continued, "Let's go; we can't always talk in the church. Although I don't mind, you will most likely be treated as eccentric. Go where you want to go and think about it slowly."

Klein nodded suddenly; he actually felt the pity in the eyes of other believers because of his "talking to himself." The two then left the church together. After hesitating for a while, Klein didn't choose to go home but instead entered the Shooting Club for shooting practice. Although the recent incident was resolved safely, it was undoubtedly a wake-up call for him.

While practicing shooting, Klein also contemplated the advantages and disadvantages of a sequence that Dunn had mentioned. He recalled what Emperor Roselle had said about regretting not choosing a Seer. Suddenly, he thought of something and looked in Lin Ruo's direction. His shooting practice paused, and he asked, "Lin Ruo, which sequence do you think I should choose?"

Lin Ruo smiled upon hearing this and said, "In fact, I have some other potion formulas for the initial sequences in my hand. But compared to those, I still recommend that you choose a Seer."

Klein couldn't help but ask, "Why do you say that?"

He was genuinely curious. Roselle had once regretted not becoming a Seer, and now Lin Ruo was suggesting the same. Was there something special about this sequence?

"Do you remember what I said about the existence of Sequence 0?" Lin Ruo's smile took on a meaningful tone as he said, "The reason I suggest you choose a Seer is because there is no Sequence 0 for the Seer Pathway."

"No Sequence 0..." Klein immediately recalled what Lin Ruo had said about Sequence 0, its definition, and Roselle's regret about choosing sequences like "Seer," "Apprentice ," and "Marauder." Hesitantly, he asked, "Do the apprentice and marauder pathways also have no Sequence 0?"

"Of course, you've read Emperor Roselle's diary, right?" Lin Ruo nodded, his smile taking on a mischievous tone.

"You've read it too? I see, you know that Russell was a transmigrator, so you must have read his diary," Klein replied, piecing together the answer himself.

"I have indeed read Emperor Roselle's diary, and I must say, it contains quite a lot of interesting content," Lin Ruo replied, not hiding the amusement in his tone.

"For example?" Klein's curiosity was piqued.

"For example, Russell once wrote in his diary, " The taste of a Demoness isn't bad ,"Lin Ruo grinned.

"What's strange about that?" Klein was puzzled, feeling that if it was just a love story, Lin Ruo's reaction shouldn't be so unusual.

"Let me share some occult knowledge with you. More than 90% of the witches in this world were once men. Sequence 7 in this pathway is called a "witch", and Sequence 9 is called an "Assassin." Lin Ruo couldn't help but chuckle.

"Honestly, the name of Sequence 9 is quite misleading, don't you think? If it weren't for me, if I only knew the name, I might have chosen it!"

Klein was left speechless. On one hand, he was shocked by Roselle's preferences, and on the other, he realized that if he had only considered the name and not other factors like returning home, he might have also chosen "Assassin."

"Okay, let's not dwell on that," Lin Ruo suppressed his mischievousness and said with a serious tone, "Since you want to choose a sequence, I'll give you a brief overview of the three sequences you can choose and their subsequent development."

In any case, as idle as they were, Lin Ruo intended to seize this opportunity to impart extraordinary knowledge to Klein and introduce him to the world of Beyonders.

Klein became serious and said, "Please proceed."

...

Lin Ruo didn't stay with Klein for long this time. More precisely, after explaining the Sequence of Mystery Pryer, Corpse Collector, and Seer, he returned to Backlund shortly afterward.

Fortunately, Lin Ruo was accustomed to such brief encounters and calmly got up from his chair, contemplating his next steps. He retrieved the [Backlund Morning News] from a set of newspapers and carefully searched through the fifth edition. What he was looking for was an advertisement from the Ernst firm, which, according to his knowledge of the original book, signaled an extraordinary gathering hosted by the Wisdom Eye at 8 o'clock the next night.

This was the same party that Klein had attended during his Sherlock period in the original story. The organizer was the true detective Isengard Stanton, a Sequence 7 "detective" of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom . Despite being Sequence 7, Stanton possessed numerous extraordinary items, and in the original book, he even briefly confronted a Sequence 5 practitioner of the Abyss Path. Thanks to his affiliation with the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom , Stanton had access to extensive mystical knowledge beyond the capabilities of most Sequence 7 individuals.

Lin Ruo had every intention of participating in this gathering. On one hand, it provided an additional path and multiple connections. On the other hand, based on information revealed in the original story, Isengard Stanton evidently had knowledge of the Hunter pathway, including the Sequence 9 potion formula, as he had purchased extraordinary characteristics of the Hunter from Klein. Given Stanton's background in the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom and the fact that Anderson, who also hailed from the same church, had followed the Hunter Path, Lin Ruo had a reasonable hunch that Isengard possessed knowledge of the Hunter Path's advanced potion formula.

Of course, if it turned out to be otherwise, Lin Ruo wouldn't be overly disappointed. After all, more allies meant more options and potential pathways for the future.

Lin Ruo's search didn't go in vain because he did locate the Ernst firm's goods purchase advertisement in the [Backlund Morning News], indicating that an extraordinary gathering would take place at the Bravehearts Bar tomorrow night. Lin Ruo knew the secret code required to attend this event, but he couldn't simply show up unannounced. Given that the organizer, Isengard Stanton, likely had an idea of who would be in attendance, crashing the party without proper channels could lead to unintended consequences. Thus, it made more sense to seek a recommendation.

Furthermore, Lin Ruo knew just the person who could introduce him to the BraveHearts Bar gathering - a certain individual named Kaspar.
