Being interrupted by Leonard, Dunn and Daly naturally felt embarrassed to continue their alone time—actually, Daly didn't mind, but Dunn was the one who felt awkward.
"By the way, Captain Dunn, how did the operation to encircle and suppress Mr. A go? Was it a success or a failure?" Lin Ruo asked casually, remembering the matter at this moment.
"The operation failed. Mr. A escaped, and only a few of his subordinates were killed on the spot by the Punishers," Dunn replied, hesitating for a few seconds before carefully asking, "Your Excellency, was the previous spawn of the Evil God a spawn of the True Creator?"
"Yes," Lin Ruo nodded, not surprised that Dunn would know. After all, the aura of the True Creator was still very obvious, and it wouldn't be difficult to recognize it after facing his spawn directly.
But then Lin Ruo's expression suddenly turned serious, and he said, "Speaking of which, Captain Dunn, there are a few things I need to trouble you to report to the Cathedral."
"Please speak," Dunn said, realizing that Lin Ruo might be about to say something important, his expression becoming even more serious, listening attentively.
"First, Lanevus, also known as the con man who defrauded more than ten thousand pounds, is a member of the Aurora Order. At the same time, he possesses the divinity of the True Creator. Megose's pregnancy with the spawn of the Evil God has a great deal to do with him. We must find him as soon as possible."
Previously, Lin Ruo didn't report Lanevus because he was worried about alarming the enemy and because he had read the original work, knowing that for the True Creator, the spawn of the Evil God that Megose was pregnant with was just a guise to attract attention, a pawn.
Lanevus was the one who was truly implanted with divinity, the body that could help the True Creator descend. Lin Ruo didn't report Lanevus, fearing it would cause bad results. Now that the Tinggen incident was over, this mess should naturally be cleaned up.
Of course, considering that Lanevus in the original work was able to use the divinity in his body to trick a group of Nighthawks and a Goddess's Sword whose combat power was comparable to a demigod, Lin Ruo felt that he still had to be cautious, so he simply chose to report it.
He believed that the Nighthawks were not useless, and if all else failed, Lin Ruo himself could do some insignificant work behind the scenes to promote it.
Thinking of this, Lin Ruo added, "Be careful, Lanevus may already have members of the Aurora Order protecting him, and with the divinity in his body, he may be able to contend with Sequence 4 in a short time. He is very likely to be in Backlund."
Dunn was immediately shocked upon hearing this. Although he had guessed that what Lin Ruo was going to say would be important, he didn't expect that the first thing involved the divinity of the True Creator.
At the same time, as a knowledgeable and experienced Night Watcher team leader, Dunn immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.
Daly immediately grasped a key point and asked, "Your Excellency, do you mean that the spawn of the Evil God who attacked here today was created by this person named Lanevus?"
"Although it's not entirely his fault, it's not a problem if you think so," Lin Ruo nodded. Although Inns Zangwill was pushing behind the scenes and the True Creator had tacitly granted it, the person who performed the ritual was indeed Lanevus, so it was fair to say that the blame was on him.
"I understand. Thank you very much for your explanation, Your Excellency," Daly said with a sweet smile, but her fingernails were deeply embedded in her flesh, her eyes somewhat fierce.
It could be seen that although Dunn was not in trouble, Daly still hated Lanevus, who had created the spawn of the Evil God.
This was not surprising. After all, Daly was also a Nighthawk, and she hated people like Lanevus the most. Personally, the spawn of the Evil God created by Lanevus almost killed Dunn, who she regarded as her treasure.
In this case, if she could, Daly really wanted to let Lanevus taste what hell was like.
Lin Ruo continued:
"Second, the traitor Inns Zangwill has been killed by me, but 0-08 has not been recovered and its whereabouts are unknown."
Lin Ruo would naturally not tell Dunn and others that 0-08 was taken away by Adam.
However, this matter was not important. After all, Lin Ruo was now basically certain that the matter of 0-08 was an exchange of benefits between the Evernight Goddess and Adam. Reporting to the Cathedral was only to reduce unnecessary manpower consumption by the Nighthawks in this regard in the future.
Inns Zangwill… As someone familiar with various internal wanted orders, Dunn instantly remembered who this person was. He glanced at Lin Ruo with some surprise, and suddenly thought of something, asking, "Your Excellency, was this incident related to Inns Zangwill?"
Sure enough, there aren't many stupid people in the Church of the Night, inheriting the same lineage as the Goddess… I wonder what the Goddess's craftsmanship is like… Cough!
Lin Ruo, whose thoughts had suddenly gone astray, coughed lightly in his heart, pulling back his increasingly biased associations that might soon be erased by an eraser, and nodded, "This incident is indeed related to Inns Zangwill. You can also report this to the Cathedral."
"I understand," Dunn said, and suddenly solemnly said, "Thank you very much for everything you have done behind the scenes, Your Excellency."
Dunn was not stupid. Although he did not receive a complete explanation like Klein, he roughly understood that Lin Ruo might have been secretly investigating Inns Zangwill, combining what Lin Ruo had just said with what had happened before.
And the conspiracy of the Evil God's spawn descending today could be resolved in time, Tingen could be spared from destruction, and they could stand here intact, mostly because of the efforts the other party had made behind the scenes.
"No need to thank me. I just did what I wanted to do, what I should do," Lin Ruo smiled, his mood suddenly becoming cheerful.
I have to say, the feeling of being thanked by the person being protected is not bad.
"Even if you only did all this out of responsibility, we should still thank you," Dunn said seriously.
The corners of Lin Ruo's mouth curved up even more, and he said, "That's about it for these two things. I hope Captain Dunn, you can report them to the Cathedral as soon as possible."
"I will," Dunn nodded solemnly.
"By the way…" Lin Ruo suddenly pointed to Klein, saying, "Starting tomorrow, I may take Klein out to perform special tasks from time to time. I hope you can understand."
Dunn was slightly stunned. He looked at Klein, the latter's figure reflected in his deep gray eyes, but without much surprise, "I understand…"
Unlike in the original work, this time, because of Lin Ruo, Dunn had long understood that Klein might be different from ordinary Nighthawks.
Or rather, even if Klein was originally ordinary, after receiving such favor from a Goddess's Favored One, he was destined to be extraordinary.
However, even though he was very clear about how much Lin Ruo, this Favored One, cared for Klein, Dunn still looked at Lin Ruo and said, "Lord Lin Ruo, I don't know what kind of tasks you are going to perform, but Klein is only a support-type Beyonder. Please take care of him more during the task."
"I will…" Lin Ruo raised his eyebrows, glanced at the sky outside, and said, "It's getting late…"
"It's indeed getting late, Your Excellency. Would you mind having a meal with us as a celebration of the successful resolution of today's matter?"
Daly grabbed Dunn's hand at this time, and in Dunn's slightly awkward expression as a pure boy, she raised their intertwined hands and said, "By the way, let's also celebrate the fact that Dunn and I are together!"
The love was shown generously, and Leonard, who had been eating melons all the time, was suddenly stunned. He looked at Dunn in disbelief, then at Daly, and said in surprise:
"Captain, Ms. Daly, are you finally together?"
