Chapter 65 Leonard lives up to his reputation
"Leonard, these two are the Red Gloves who will be staying with us for a while?" Old Neil obviously knew about the Red Gloves being sent from headquarters and curiously looked at the two unfamiliar young men in front of him.
While Old Neil was sizing up Rosen and Leonard, the two of them were naturally also sizing up the old man.
Klein glanced at it and frowned; after the divination, his frown deepened.
Rosen glanced with interest at the spirits surrounding Old Neil, shadows that were imperceptible to ordinary people but were extremely conspicuous to Rosen.
interesting!
Rosen became interested. He had always been happy to experiment with his various abilities, but his research on spirits had been limited by conditions and had not made much progress. Now that he saw this special spirit, he was really itching to try it out.
He was curious whether his seemingly life-related talent could also be applied to such a spirit.
As for the other party's identity, after connecting it with the original plot, Rosen naturally had some guesses in his mind.
He suddenly looked at Leonard and said, "If you want to verify that, now is a good time, isn't it?"
Leonard was taken aback at first, then glanced at Neil and retorted helplessly, "But..."
"If I have ill intentions towards them, it makes no difference whether you're here or not," Rosen interrupted him, then said in a surprisingly gentle tone, "Go and verify it, child. At least that way you can have peace of mind!"
Leonard hesitated for a moment, glanced at Neil, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Neil, please take care of these two. I have to leave for a while."
"...Okay." Old Neil looked at Leonard, then at Rosen, and nodded.
Leonard then left.
After he left, Old Neil looked at Rosen with a smile and asked, "Mr. Rosen, it seems there's some misunderstanding between you and Leonard?"
"There are indeed some misunderstandings, but they will be cleared up soon." Rosen nodded, not denying it, but then changed the subject, saying, "Compared to Leonard's little misunderstanding of me, perhaps your problem is more serious, Mr. Neil."
"What?" Old Neil was clearly taken aback.
Klein then spoke up, "Mr. Neil, are you aware that the Hidden Sage has marked you?"
Old Neil's expression froze, then he feigned surprise and said, "Oh, is that really true?"
Klein seemed to sigh and said, "Mr. Neil, you were actually actively listening to the ramblings of the hidden sage, weren't you?"
The moment Klein saw Old Neil, he noticed the mark of a hidden sage on him, and after divination, he learned some information.
For example, the other party seems to have actively accepted the knowledge given by the Hidden Sage, and their condition is not good. Although they are not yet at the point of losing control, if they continue to listen to the Hidden Sage's ramblings without external intervention, they may turn into a monster in the near future.
Old Neil's expression froze completely. He opened his mouth, then slumped back in his chair, saying dejectedly, "I don't deny that. I did actively seek out some knowledge, but... I didn't hurt anyone. I just... I just wanted to..."
"You want to save your fiancée?" Rosen couldn't get a clear answer from him after he'd been rambling on for a while, so he kindly filled in the gaps for him.
Old Neil looked at Rosen in astonishment, then, perhaps realizing something, said, "You know... so you've already investigated this matter, right? I have indeed failed the Goddess, failed the Church..."
"We're not here to punish you, Mr. Neil," Rosen interrupted his confession. He looked at the spirit who seemed to sense the sadness in old Neil's emotions, and who, despite not being very rational, also seemed depressed, and said casually, "On the contrary, we're here to help you."
Old Neil looked surprised.
"Klein can solve your problem of being watched by the Hidden Sage, and I..." Rosen looked at the old man who had almost given everything to resurrect his beloved, and said:
"I can bring your fiancée back, if you don't mind her existing in the form of a plant."
Rosen knew that Klein would definitely help Old Neil solve the problem of the Hidden Sage; he was just that kind of person who loved to worry. Rosen himself had a vague feeling that he might be able to explore some of his own abilities through this matter.
"What?" Old Neil wondered if he was getting old and was hallucinating, otherwise how could he hear such words?
"Don't be surprised, what you just heard is true," Rosen said with a smile.
"Why...why?" Old Neil frowned. He wasn't immediately happy about this; instead, he looked at Rosen and Klein with some suspicion and asked, "Who exactly are you people?"
"Don't be so wary. Of course we're the church's red gloves, but besides that identity, I don't deny that we do have some special qualities. But if we weren't special enough, why would we be sent here to handle 008's affairs?"
Rosen smiled and explained, then, sensing something, glanced in the direction of the exit and said, "Ah, Leonard is back. He can verify my identity."
When Leonard came in, he looked dazed, as if he hadn't yet recovered from the huge shock.
Just now, he hurriedly arranged a ceremony, prayed to the goddess of night, and sought to verify whether everything Rosen said was true or false.
As it turned out, the goddess actually responded to him, thus confirming that everything Rosen had said was true.
This relieved Leonard, but also left him feeling shocked and incredulous.
"What's wrong, Leonard?" Old Neil asked, noticing Leonard's obvious lapse in concentration.
"I'm fine!" Leonard finally snapped out of his daze. He shook his head, then realized the atmosphere in the room seemed a bit strange. He couldn't help but ask, "What's going on? What happened?"
"Leonard, you just received a divine message from the goddess, didn't you?" Rosen said with a smile.
"What?" Old Nie's eyes widened immediately.
Leonard hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."
God's response is naturally a divine decree.
"Then please tell Mr. Neil whether I am your friend or not," Rosen continued with a smile.
Leonard was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't know what had happened, he quickly looked at Old Neil and said, "Mr. Neil, His Highness Rosen is indeed someone recognized by the goddess and is definitely not our enemy."
Old Neil looked at him, then at Rosen, and suddenly pulled a medicine bottle from his pocket and swallowed a pill.
"No, let me catch my breath." Old Neil caught his breath before looking at Leonard and asking, "You received an oracle?"
Leonard nodded obediently.
Old Neil then looked at Rosen, his hand visibly trembling as he held the medicine bottle, before saying, "You are... a prince?"
As expected of you, Leonard!
Rosen glanced at Leonard, not really angry, but simply nodded and said, "You can think that way, but please don't tell anyone. My identity is currently confidential."
