"By the way, has little Zaratul secretly contacted you recently?"
"How do you know?" Russell suddenly looked at Lin Ruo suspiciously. He didn't mean to deny it, but just said: "Are you spying on me?"
"I don't need to monitor you, I can guess it just by thinking about it." Lin Ruo replied calmly. He did not monitor Russell, he was just making reasonable guesses.
Russell frowned and didn't say whether he believed it or not. He just said: "What is the situation between you and Zaratul? I feel that you don't seem to care much about him, but Zaratul does.
Afraid of you."
"Actually, this matter is easy to say." Lin Ruo held her chin with one hand, probably thinking about something, and said: "I have a contribution to the fall of old Zaratul, Xiao Cha's elder.
"
Russell's brows twitched, and he thought to himself: No wonder Zaratul regards you as the person who killed your father. The truth is pretty much the same.
After thinking for a few more seconds, Russell couldn't help but curiously asked: "Since we are enemies, why don't you just kill him? Although I don't know your sequence yet, but in any case, an angel-level existence is very important to you.
It’s all a big hidden danger, right?”
Because he thinks he is not very familiar with Zaratul, and currently regards him as a scapegoat and a scheming boy with ulterior motives, Russell didn't have any psychological burden at all when he asked this question.
Lin Ruo's smile paused. He probably thought of something, and then said with a normal expression: "It's just that there is no need to do this."
Isn't it necessary? I believe you as a ghost... Russell frowned, not believing even half a word of Lin Ruo's obviously perfunctory words.
However, he didn't ask anything, just said: "Zarath did find me, but he didn't say anything big, he just shared some knowledge with me." At this point, Russell also looked at Lin Ruo specifically.
At first glance, the meaning is quite obvious - look at how generous this person is.
"It seems that he wants to win your favor." Lin Ruo pretended not to see Russell's eyes and just smiled, "After all..."
After hearing this, Russell immediately looked at Lin Ruo, waiting for the next chapter.
However, facing his gaze, Lin Ruo just calmly put down the tea cup, shrugged her shoulders and said, "Well, I don't know, maybe he is crazy."
Russell's eyes widened and he wanted to curse when he looked at Lin Ruo.
You don’t know what kind of nonsense you are putting here!
Lin Ruo obviously didn't care about Russell's attitude and still smiled gently.
In fact, he could probably guess why Zaratul was close to Roselle. There were two reasons. One was because of the aura of Sefirah Castle that was tainted on Roselle.
As someone who has hung himself in Source Castle for who knows how many years, the aura of Source Castle on Russell's body cannot be dissipated in a short period of time, even if he has chosen the path of a generalist and lost the qualification to inherit Source Castle.
And another reason is probably that Xiao Cha saw in Russell an opportunity to be promoted to Sequence 1?
Thinking of this, Lin Ruo couldn't help but glance at Russell, and then said: "I know you will not stop contact with Zaratul because of my advice, and I also believe that as an adult, you have your own judgment on things.
"
"So I won't advise you much, but next time you see Zaratul, please help me bring him a message."
"What?" Russell looked at him curiously and doubtfully.
"[Don't seek death, don't let the Zaratul family end in your generation.] Just tell this sentence to him." Lin Ruo said with a smile, stood up and said: "Okay, today's time
It's getting late, so I won't stay any longer, since you don't welcome me anyway."
Russell had just thought about Lin Ruo's threatening message when he heard Lin Ruo's next words and said angrily: "As long as you are a normal guest and not here to rush for a manuscript, I will not welcome you.
you."
"But why should I come to you if you don't push for manuscripts?" Lin Ruo immediately looked at Russell with doubtful eyes, "I'm not sitting idle with nothing to do."
"Get out of here!" Russell stood up, barely picking up the broom to chase away the person.
"Just a joke, just a joke! Next time, I will come to visit you as a pure guest. I hope you will welcome me then." Lin Ruo smiled and waved his hands, and his body shape changed.
He had to be vague, "Also, I wish you a happy wedding in advance!"
Russell watched him disappear, and immediately sat down on the chair. While breathing a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but mutter: "Everyone of you likes to show off, sooner or later I will hang you all up and give you a beating."
At the same time, Lin Ruo, who was supposed to leave, appeared in a corner of the manor, grabbed a cat by the back of the neck with a smile, and picked it up.
"Didn't Old Zaratul tell you that eavesdropping is not a good habit? Especially when the person you are eavesdropping on is far more powerful than you."
The cat, or rather the cat-like marionette, suddenly stiffened, but was completely unable to break free from the hand on the back of its neck, and could not even cut off the connection with the spiritual worm in the cat's body.
Moreover, Zaratul had a sense of fear. Even though his body was half a city away, he felt that he had been locked.
It was as if what Lin Ruo was holding in his hand at this moment was not his cat marionette, but his true body.
"But since you are eavesdropping here, you must have heard what I just said." Lin Ruo still smiled and held the cat by the scruff. He looked like an ordinary young man, making it impossible to imagine that he was there.
This understatement has already made a Sequence Two unable to fight back.
"You have discovered it a long time ago...you told me on purpose." The cat marionette finally spoke, not with a meow, but with a slightly older voice.
"Yes, I just told you on purpose." Lin Ruo nodded, with no intention of hiding anything. He patted the cat on the head with his other hand as if petting a cat, and said:
"Be good, Xiaocha. I'm not interested in causing trouble for you, but if you really wear out my patience, I won't show mercy to you."
"Don't let Lao Cha waste his favor."
The cat marionette suddenly became furious.
"What qualifications do you have to say this? My father's death was the result of a calculation between you and Mr. Men."
"Why can't I say this? I killed him because he had thoughts he shouldn't have and did things he shouldn't do. I also gave him a chance, but he left that chance to you." Lin Ruo
He said with an unchanged expression, and finally patted the cat on the head, "I don't owe him anything."
"Otherwise, the surname Zaratul would have disappeared by the end of the Fourth Age."
The cat stiffened again, as if all its courage had disappeared in Lin Ruo's words.
"Okay, let's go play. I hope the next time we meet, it won't be like this again." Lin Ruo let go of his hand and put the cat marionette on the ground with a gentle and bright smile.
The cat suddenly jumped into the grass and disappeared without a trace.
Lin Ruo looked in a certain direction and smiled softly.
There was actually no story or friendship between him and old Zaratul. At most, they were just simple colleagues.
However, due to some reasons, Lin Ruo owed Lao Zaratul a big favor, so after Lao Za did something he shouldn't have done and fell into Mr. Men's trap, Lin Ruo owed Lao Zarathu a favor.
Two options.
He fell to Sequence 2 and survived, or in exchange for Lin Ruo's thousand-year protection of the Zarath family.
Lao Cha chose the latter.
Probably because he understood that even if he survived that time, Xiao An would not let him go in the future.
