Medici and Rose Redemption

"So, you also encountered that evil spirit and received the same promise that you would receive benefits as long as the seal is broken?"

After listening to Klein's explanation, Luther asked.

It turns out that Klein, as Detective, was tasked with exploring the underground structure when he also encountered the Corrosion of the evil spirits within. To prevent the harm from spreading, he planted explosives to Destruction the passage.

According to his subsequent investigation, the buildings originally belonged to the Pound Viscount Family, which seemed to be related to the Tudor Family, descendants of the Tudor Empire of the Fourth Epoch. The Tudor Empire once had a "Blood Emperor," and when the evil spirit communicated with Klein, it claimed to be an "innocent person killed by the Blood Emperor."

Just as Luther had guessed, there was a deeper and more terrifying reason behind this matter.

"Yes."

Klein nodded slowly.

"So, are you going to break the seal?"

Of course not.

Klein shook his head. "According to my Divination afterwards, that evil spirit harbors intense malice towards me. If the seal is truly broken, I'm afraid I'll be the first to perish."

He hesitated for a moment, then decided not to tell Luther that a Sequence 5 Wraith, Miss Sharron, had been traveling with him. After all, Miss Sharron seemed to have something to hide and was unwilling to reveal her whereabouts, so it wouldn't be good to tell Luther, who was not a relevant person, about her affairs.

"A wise choice."

Luther nodded and said, "The evil spirit told me that it was willing to become Lamb to be Grazing by me and used by me."

The opponent is Angel -level evil spirit. If it were to Grazing by an ordinary Sequence 5 Shepherd, the master-servant relationship would likely reverse the moment the Grazing took place. The Shepherd would become the evil spirit's new vessel, for its use.

However, I possess that extremely powerful Phantom Tide within me. Tide can even suppress the aura of True God. If I were to truly Grazing that Red Evil Spirit, it might actually be possible.

Luther couldn't help but think about it, but quickly dismissed the idea.

It's not worth the risk; it's not worth taking such a big risk for an uncertain benefit.

"It seems that the Red Angel died during the Fourth Epoch Age, along with two other Angel from the Hunter Pathway."

Klein pondered.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "That evil spirit once told me that Medici founded an extremely Concealment organization called 'Rose Redemption.' Certain unbelievable beings were once members of this organization, but later left. Moreover, the birth of 'Rose Redemption' is closely related to the 'True Creator.'"

[Sun] had found similar words in the evil god's temple he explored, but Luther hadn't Tarot Club at that time and was unaware of it.

True Creator?

Upon hearing that damned name, Luther's brows furrowed involuntarily.

Moreover, the phrase "Rose Redemption" seemed somewhat familiar to him.

He quickly recalled that after meeting "Red Angel" Medici, he had a strange Illusion. In the Illusion, Medici was having a gathering with a group of beings who were only outlines, discussing a grand and Concealment topic.

By the way, those mysterious entities call themselves the "Rose Redemption" organization.

Luther took a deep breath, and a shocking conspiracy seemed to have traveled through time and reappeared before him.

"I had some Illusion after encountering an evil spirit."

He shared what he had seen with Klein, who quickly came to some guesses, his expression thoughtful.

"After listening to what you said, I feel like some problems have been solved, but some new problems have arisen. Who is the 'He' that Medici is referring to?"

Luther Zedao.

Klein's heart stirred, and he thought of the one whom City of Silver worshipped, the Original Creator.

The inscription "Rose Redemption" was found in the evil Forsaken Land of the Gods," where the highest-ranking being is the Creator of City of Silver. As Angel, it seems only natural for him to serve a True God.

However, although he thought so, he did not tell Luther immediately, because this information was still shared by [The Sun] at the Tarot Club.

Damn it, at the next gathering, I need to find a way to get [Sun] to tell Luther this news.

Klein thought to himself, feeling somewhat frustrated.

Luther, unaware of his thoughts, continued, "And who are those who withdrew from 'Rose Redemption,' those 'unimaginable big shots' that Medici spoke of?"

He could only vaguely make out some outlines, but he didn't know the specific features.

It can't possibly be True God, right?

Luther for a moment, then jokingly thought to himself. But soon, he was terrified by this terrible thought. Looking up, he saw that Klein across from him also looked unwell.

"I think we should avoid discussing this dangerous topic."

"Agree."

They both nodded at the same time.

Afterwards, Klein replaced his teacup with a new one, and the two drank some black tea to calm themselves down.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

Luther remembered another purpose of his visit, "Could you tell me the recipe for the Seer's Sequence 8 Potion?"

"For your cat?"

Klein thought about it for a moment and guessed it.

"Mmm."

"Has it already digested the Potion?"

"I'm not sure, but I'm going to prepare it first. Also, I took your suggestion and named it Luna."

Luther Zedao.

"Luna is a female cat."

Klein felt a pang of envy. His own promotion hadn't been so smooth; he even had a Sequence 5 protecting him. No, to be honest, he did have "Goddess's Sword" Crestet watching over him, but that was for inspection, not protection!

With mixed feelings, he scribbled a few lines on a sticky note on the table and handed it to Luther.

"Okay, thank you."

Luther took the note and saw that it read:

Main Ingredient: One adult Hornacis Gray Mountain Goat Single-Horn Crystal + one Complete Human-Faced Rose. Auxiliary ingredients: 80 ml pure water + 5 drops of datura juice + 7 g of Black-Edged Sunflower powder + 10 g of Golden Cloak Grass powder + 3 drops of poison violet juice.

"How much?"

"Money? I don't think so."

"No, we have to follow the rules between us."

Luther shook his head, took out about four hundred pounds in cash from his pocket, and placed it on the table. He had learned at the Eye of Wisdom gathering that the price of Sequence 8 Potion recipe was roughly around that amount.

Although their relationship is special, it's best to avoid taking advantage of others unless absolutely necessary, as it's not good for either of them.

"You're really particular."

Seeing this, Klein didn't stand on ceremony any further.

After all, he's really short of money right now.
