Fool? What Fool? Is the deity he believes in an evil god called the Fool?
But the captain never told me that any secret organization believes in an evil god called the Fool... In the moment Danitz's mind went blank, he immediately realized a crucial issue.
An angel is asking him face-to-face if he can believe in an evil god. What should he do?
Agree?
But... but the captain said that believing in an evil god is like sliding into the abyss, with no possibility of being saved...
Danitz instantly broke out in a cold sweat. He looked at Lin Ruo, who was smiling at him, waiting for his answer. He forced a smile on his face, mustered all his courage, and said, "Can I refuse?" His voice was pitifully small.
"Guess," Lin Ruo said with a smile, not surprised by Danitz's reaction. At the same time, he glanced at Klein beside him. Klein was also quite shocked by his sudden evangelism. He could no longer maintain his 'Gehrman' persona and looked at him, wanting to say something but stopping.
Lin Ruo winked at him, meaning to be patient and that he would explain everything later.
After hearing Lin Ruo's "Guess," Danitz, who was cursing in his heart, didn't have the energy to pay attention to their interaction. At this moment, his brain was in chaos, and the two consequences of agreeing and disagreeing flashed back and forth in his mind.
Agreeing would mean believing in an evil god, with no possibility of being saved, and perhaps facing an end more terrifying than death... But disagreeing would mean offending an angel. It wouldn't be surprising if such a big shot killed him on the spot...
Moreover, disagreeing might implicate the captain... Thinking of this, Danitz took a slight breath and finally made up his mind. He looked up at Lin Ruo and said in a somewhat dry voice, "I... I am willing to believe in the god you mentioned."
"Very good! You won't regret your decision today," Lin Ruo said with a bright smile. "Then, from today onwards, you are His believer. Are you happy?"
Bullshit! Can I say I'm not happy?
"Happy..." Danitz's expression twisted uncontrollably. He almost squeezed the word out of his throat.
"Hahaha..." Seeing his twisted expression, Lin Ruo finally couldn't help but laugh. Then he patted Danitz on the shoulder and said, "Don't be so nervous, Danitz. Our Lord is very benevolent. Believe in Him, serve Him, and perhaps one day you will be able to receive His favor and become His blessed one."
"At that time, maybe you will also be able to possess the strength and reputation to match your captain."
Enough to match the captain... Hearing this, Danitz was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.
Anyway... anyway, I am now a believer of that Fool under the witness of an angel, and there is no possibility of regretting it... Then, why not take this opportunity...? In this instant, Danitz imagined a lot, and the smile on his face was no longer twisted, but with a hint of real joy.
Lin Ruo was not surprised by this, and then said, "By the way, without my or Gehrman's permission, don't spread anything about Mr. Fool, otherwise... you won't want to know the consequences."
Danitz suddenly recovered from his imagination. Hearing this, he felt as if cold water had been poured on his head and quickly nodded, "Okay, okay."
Lin Ruo then patted Klein on the shoulder and said, "Gehrman, you can introduce Mr. Fool to Danitz. As the Lord's blessed one, you should also learn to spread the Lord's gospel to others..."
Crap!
The expression on Klein's face instantly froze. He really didn't expect Lin Ruo to make such a feint and suddenly pass the buck to him.
Preaching to others, introducing the Fool... and preaching to Danitz, someone he already knows... Just imagining that scene made Klein feel so embarrassed that he could dig out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes.
This is different from pretending to be the Fool above the gray fog. The degree of shame is much higher.
Hearing this, Danitz almost subconsciously began to guess in his heart.
Blessed one? Gehrman is that evil god called the Fool... Ugh, ahem, the deity's blessed?
Is this why Wayne brought him along?
I don't know what sequence he is...
After taking a slight breath, Klein finally adjusted his state. At this moment, he was almost sincerely grateful that he was now wearing Gehrman's persona, which would prevent him from dying socially too thoroughly and allow him to reveal a polite smile belonging to Gehrman at this moment, using the Clown's ability, and said:
"Okay, Teacher Wayne."
He looked at Danitz, with a hint of madness in his polite smile, and said in a devout and slightly fanatical tone.
"Our Lord is named the Fool. He is the Fool who does not belong to this era; the mysterious ruler above the gray fog; the King of Yellow and Black who controls good luck. He..."
Anyway, Lin Ruo has already defined Gehrman's persona as the Fool's blessed one, so Klein simply decided to break the pot and smash it, shaping Gehrman into a fanatical believer of the Fool, which also happened to completely separate him from the identity of Klein.
Anyway, it is Gehrman who believes in the Fool, what does it have to do with me, Klein... Klein comforted himself while enduring the shame, and continued to introduce the Fool to Danitz.
Actually, there is nothing to introduce, after all, there is not much to say about the Fool's persona in the first place.
However, fortunately, although there are very few things that can be introduced, and in another scene, this evangelism would most likely end in failure, but there is an angel standing next to him who has already confirmed his service to the Fool, which is better proof than any gorgeous rhetoric—who would have thought that an angel would serve a false god?
In this world where gods truly exist, even the most absurd novels wouldn't dare to write like this!
Therefore, after listening to Gehrman's introduction of Mr. Fool, Danitz not only did not doubt the truth of the Fool, but also felt that Mr. Fool was different from the evil gods of those secret organizations he had heard of, and seemed... more powerful?
At least it doesn't sound like a brutal and bloody evil god... Danitz breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and subconsciously asked, "So, what is Mr. Fool's honorific name?"
Then Danitz found that both Gehrman and Wayne were looking at him, with eyes as if he had asked something stupid.
Wha... what's wrong? Did I say something wrong? Gehrman really didn't tell me Mr. Fool's honorific name...
Klein, who had almost tried his best not to laugh on the spot, showed Danitz a polite smile at this moment and said in a flat tone:
"The Fool who does not belong to this era, the mysterious ruler above the gray fog; the King of Yellow and Black who wields good luck."
"This is our Lord's honorific name."
Danitz:...
Danitz's face suddenly turned red. He finally understood why Gehrman and Wayne had looked at him with idiot eyes just now, because Gehrman had indeed introduced the Fool's honorific name to him at the beginning.
But... but he didn't say that was Mr. Fool's honorific name just now...
Danitz weakly retorted in his heart.
Lin Ruo, who had successively persecuted two people, could be said to be physically and mentally happy, then smiled at this time and said, "We will be ashore soon, Danitz, don't use Him to call me after we get ashore... Remember, after we get ashore, I am Wayne, a Sequence 9, Gehrman's partner, a rookie adventurer."
"Ah..." Danitz's eyes widened, obviously not expecting Lin Ruo to say this, but he quickly reacted and nodded, "Okay."
So Wayne is disguising himself as a rookie not because of him... Then why is He disguising himself as a rookie?
Does He have some special mission? Or... is this His personal quirk?
Danitz felt that he couldn't understand what the angel in front of him was thinking at all.
Lin Ruo then looked at Klein and said, "Gehrman, wait a while, you and Danitz go for a stroll in the City of Generosity first, I have something to do and need to leave for a while."
