Chapter 124: Shameless Little Bubble

So, you handed these two children over to me knowing exactly how troublesome they are?

Sasrir sighed inwardly. In the end, he could only pretend he hadn't heard anything and changed the subject: "Is it appropriate to have Ouroboros assist Lynn? I know Ouroboros is not incapable; he has always performed well in logistics and promoting the faith."

"But if he is to assist Lynn, shouldn't we send someone with a more appropriate temperament?" Sasrir asked diplomatically.

Sasrir didn't doubt Ouroboros' abilities. Although he had never had his help with official duties, he was one of the few in the high ranks of the divine kingdom who could help Sasrir with more than just fighting. Before today, Ouroboros was always responsible for logistics and faith promotion.

However, Sasrir saw Ouroboros' temperament as a significant issue. While he might be suitable for other tasks or even assisting Sasrir himself, he wasn't fit to be Lynn's deputy.

"Regarding temperament, I have considered it. In fact, I chose Ouroboros precisely because of Lynn's personality," the Ancient Sun God said, his expression becoming slightly more serious.

"The previous comment was just a joke. From the beginning, I never intended for you, Sasrir, to assist Lynn. I have other plans for you. I know you might think Aucuses would be a more suitable deputy…" The Ancient Sun God paused before continuing: "But I have a different view on this. I believe Lynn would not want Aucuses as his deputy, correct?"

Hearing this, Lynn glanced at the Ancient Sun God and then seriously nodded: "If I have to choose between Aucuses and Ouroboros, I would indeed prefer Ouroboros."

Sasrir was stunned by this.

The Ancient Sun God was not surprised. He looked at Lynn and said, "Ouroboros should be in his atelier now. Would you like to see him?"

"Does he know about becoming my assistant?" Lynn asked.

"I haven't informed him yet. Perhaps it's better if you tell him personally," the Ancient Sun God said warmly.

"Alright then. It's been a while since I last saw Ouroboros. I'll go now. Goodbye." Lynn nodded and left, realizing that the Ancient Sun God was determined to have Ouroboros assist him. Lynn decided not to resist further.

Thinking it over, Ouroboros would indeed make a good assistant. With his personality, he would definitely do whatever Lynn said. While not as capable as Sasrir, Sasrir had many other responsibilities and might not have the energy to focus on the Eye of Secrets. In contrast, Ouroboros was the perfect tool person... Lynn thought and felt more spirited.

With Ouroboros as a lucky charm, any difficult decisions could be guided by fate.

Lynn suddenly felt that Ouroboros as a deputy was quite good, making him walk briskly and hum a tune as he left the study.

Watching Lynn's retreating figure, Sasrir turned his gaze back to the Ancient Sun God and couldn't help but say, "Lord, I still don't understand."

"This is the best choice." The Ancient Sun God looked at his avatar warmly and said unhurriedly, "That child does not need a deputy who would discipline him. The Eye of Secrets does not need someone who would override Lynn. Ouroboros is the best choice."

Hearing this, Sasrir was momentarily stunned, finally understanding.

He had been somewhat biased, thinking that due to Lynn's unreliable nature, he needed a mature and steady deputy to discipline him.

But in fact, regardless of how the Eye of Secrets developed, it would always be Lynn's domain. Such a place clearly did not need an overly strong deputy.

Considering everything, Ouroboros was indeed the best choice. His personality ensured he wouldn't interfere with Lynn's decisions, and his loyalty guaranteed that if Lynn made a mistake, they could catch it in time.

"I understand. Your vision is indeed far-sighted," Sasrir said respectfully.

The Ancient Sun God neither confirmed nor denied this. He then looked at the silent Medici and said, "Regarding the Red Army, Sasrir has also reported to me…"

...

While the Ancient Sun God and Medici discussed the Red Army, Lynn finally arrived at Ouroboros' studio.

"Knock, knock, knock—"

Lynn knocked politely. A few seconds later, the door opened, and Ouroboros appeared.

He was still dressed in a simple linen robe, with silver-white hair stained with blue paint. Holding a paintbrush, his pretty silver eyes showed a hint of surprise upon seeing Lynn. He asked, "Is there something you need?"

"Ah, how should I put it? From now on, you're with me," Lynn said bluntly, "You're my deputy!"

"Huh?" Ouroboros was obviously taken aback, looking confused for a few seconds before seriously asking, "Is this the Lord's command?"

"Yes, I am establishing a department called the Eye of Secrets, and you are… the Lord's personally appointed deputy." Lynn nodded while glancing at the paintings in Ouroboros' atelier. Just a glance and his eyes lit up.

He almost forgot Ouroboros was also a painting enthusiast!

Lynn reaffirmed his previous thought. Ouroboros might indeed make an excellent deputy. At least, they shared the same hobby.

"I see. I will do my best as your deputy," Ouroboros said slowly, after thinking for a few seconds.

That was easy to convince? Although I didn't lie, it feels like he's too easy to fool.

Lynn rubbed his chin, looking at the dazed Ouroboros in front of him. Suddenly, he said, "Ouroboros, I have a favor to ask."

"What is it?" Ouroboros looked at Lynn in confusion.

"I'd like to borrow a drop of your blood. As a Sage, I need to analyze the blood of mythical creatures to gain knowledge. So, I hope you can give me a drop of your blood," Lynn said seriously.

"...Oh." Ouroboros nodded slowly and said, "Alright."

"Thank you. You're a good snake!" Lynn praised without hesitation. Looking at Ouroboros' atelier, he smiled and said, "In exchange, let me tour your atelier. I also love painting!"

Though Ouroboros didn't quite understand why a tour was a return favor, as a fellow painting enthusiast, he didn't mind showing others his atelier. So, he nodded and said, "Come in."
