This was undoubtedly dangerous, Lin Ruo knew.
But it wasn't impossible!
Capim himself was likely not a Beyonder. Although he had Beyonders from the royal family's official organization protecting him, those were mostly Beyonders of the low and middle sequences.
Judging from the original novel, the highest of these Beyonders was probably only Sequence 6, only possessing items that could, to some extent, rival Sequence 5. However, Lin Ruo had a one-minute demigod state. With the difference between a demigod and a non-demigod, and with the secrecy provided by the Concealment Badge to infiltrate Capim's mansion, catching them off guard, the chances of a successful hunting operation were high.
After all, even without mentioning the difference between a demigod and a non-demigod, just having preparedness against unpreparedness was enough for Lin Ruo to have a huge advantage—in the world of 'Lord of the Mysteries', being prepared and unprepared made a big difference.
Moreover, even if something unexpected really happened, he could directly use the Traveler's abilities to escape at a critical moment. The Concealment Badge also ensured that whether it was before or after the operation, he would not be caught by others using Beyonder abilities.
Furthermore, there were many benefits to hunting Capim. Firstly, he could play the role of a Hunter to digest the potion. Secondly, he could both avenge the original owner and fulfill Lin Ruo's own intentions. Thirdly, revealing Capim's affair in advance could allow the Church to be aware of the royal family's conspiracy sooner. Fourthly, he could pull the Storms into the game and mess with that dog Ince…
Lin Ruo's eyes narrowed, his thoughts racing. Suddenly, he clenched the Concealment Badge in his hand, then stretched lazily, "Tsk, now I almost hope Capim is a Beyonder… then the potion would probably be digested faster!"
He chuckled and began to ponder the entire hunting plan in his mind.
After initially finalizing the relevant matters in this regard, Lin Ruo turned to consider the issue of obtaining subsequent potion formulas for the Hunter pathway.
Just as the main area of activity for Beyonders of the Seer pathway was not in Loen, the main area of activity for Beyonders of the Hunter pathway was also not in Loen, but in the Intis Republic and the Feysac Empire.
However, this did not mean that it was difficult to find subsequent potion formulas for the Hunter pathway in Loen. After all, not to mention anything else, there was still the Three-Headed Hellhound and a Blasphemy Card of the Hunter pathway, the "Red Priest" card, beneath Backlund. With the Beyonder characteristic aggregation law of the world of 'Lord of the Mysteries', with the above two things, Beyonders of the Hunter pathway would be constantly attracted.
If Lin Ruo wanted to obtain the subsequent potions of the Hunter pathway, the most ideal and most dangerous method was naturally to obtain that Red Priest card, which would basically allow him to collect all the subsequent potion formulas at once.
But the Red Priest card was in the hands of the Three-Headed Hellhound. Although the latter was jokingly called the Comedian Duo in the original work and was a comedic figure, it was really not an easy guy to deal with. Moreover, from the plot in the second half of 'Lord of the Mysteries', it could be seen that Adam, the guy who sold Medici, had also been watching there, making it very difficult to snatch food from the tiger's mouth, not any easier than tearing up 0-08's script, and even more difficult for Lin Ruo.
But great difficulty did not mean impossibility. After all, the Red Priest card was not too important to Medici, and Medici, who had not yet broken free from his restraints, was undoubtedly at his weakest…
Lin Ruo's eyes flickered. Finally, he closed his eyes and exhaled a long breath: "Cannot be greedy. The Three-Headed Hellhound killed so many descendants of the Tudor family. Low and middle sequence Beyonders would just be delivering food… I have to wait, wait a little longer."
Wait until he understood the extraordinary realm of this world well enough and found suitable helpers.
Lin Ruo didn't plan to give up the Red Priest card, but he wouldn't act rashly. After all, no matter how weak the Three-Headed Hellhound was now, it would still be easy to deal with anyone below a demigod. Even if Lin Ruo's Fallacy could give him one minute of demigod time, he didn't think he could take down the opponent with that one minute.
Moreover, the current state of the Three-Headed Hellhound also made it difficult for Lin Ruo to arrange anything using [Truth]. After all, Lin Ruo's purpose was to obtain the Red Priest card, not to eliminate the Three-Headed Hellhound. So he couldn't report the other party. As for attracting a non-official demigod to attack the Three-Headed Hellhound and then reaping the benefits—that was courting death!
The active non-official demigods in Backlund were basically either from the Aurora Order, or from the Church of the Mother Goddess of Depravity, or related to the Psychology Alchemists. When these cult members saw Medici, let alone a battle between The snipe and the clam fight , they would probably directly help the other party escape.
As for the remaining demigods, either their condition was not good and they rarely moved, or they were like that foolish Undying from the Spirituality Church who only wanted to resurrect the God of Death, and were likely not interested in Medici. Guiding these demigods to find Medici, just wanting to guide them successfully would be extremely difficult. If it really succeeded, it would definitely not be easy to reap the benefits later, and he might be solved by the demigod as cannon fodder.
Lin Ruo was happy to mess with that dog Ince, because that was his area of expertise. But he would not try to grab the Red Priest card in a situation where the possibility of delivering food was extremely high.
"Let's digest the potion first… There are other ways to obtain the low and middle sequence potion formulas of the Hunter pathway, no hurry." Recalling the other characters who had appeared in the original work who might have the low and middle sequence formulas of the Red Priest, Lin Ruo slowly exhaled and began to think about other things.
The matter of avenging the original owner could be done step by step. Now, he should deal with Capim first, and then collect information on those enemies who caused the original owner's family to be destroyed, formulate a plan based on the situation, and carry out a layout, not in a hurry.
Compared to those, now that he had a body, some of the plans he had originally made naturally had to be adjusted accordingly. However, Lin Ruo could feel that the connection between himself and Klein still existed, and he vaguely had a feeling that his spirit body would be pulled over there again.
This meant that he would likely have to operate on two fronts next. Lin Ruo also had some ideas about this. He planned to focus on digesting potions, increasing sequences, and increasing strength when his spirit body returned to his main body, while when his spirit body was with Klein, he would be a good "Grandpa" to Klein, happily cultivating the Lord of the Mysteries.
As for that dog Ince, naturally, he would work on both sides to try to clear the other party out of the game in the shortest possible time—Lin Ruo understood the abilities of the Fate school, so he knew that the best way to deal with a dog like Ince who held 0-08 was not to give the other party a chance to play, and to kick the other party out of the game in the shortest possible time.
The longer it dragged on, the more variables there would be!
"Well, now that I have received the memories, the Fallacy energy related to language can be saved." Lin Ruo muttered in his heart, and at the same time canceled the Fallacies related to Loen common language and Hermes text that he had been maintaining. Both languages were languages that Rudy Flair had learned from childhood. After receiving the other party's memories, Lin Ruo naturally had no reason not to know them.
After canceling the two Fallacies, Lin Ruo suddenly yawned.
Perhaps it was the influence of the resurrection. Lin Ruo could feel that his body was quite tired now. And coincidentally, as someone who had almost drained himself by experimenting with [Fallacy] before, Lin Ruo's soul was also very tired. Under such double fatigue, Lin Ruo could be said to be in urgent need of rest to recover, but he had been holding on because he had been busy.
Now that he had sorted out what needed to be sorted out and had a preliminary plan for what he would do in the future, Lin Ruo naturally did not plan to hold on any longer. He directly leaned his head back on the recliner and closed his eyes.
Well, I hope there won't be a situation where I fall asleep here and then appear in Tingen…
After all, he was really tired!
Vaguely thinking this way, Lin Ruo's consciousness then fell into slumber.
