Chapter 12 Dragon of Nightmares

"Sure enough, Lynn has many secrets, but the Quill of Alzuhod doesn't care about that. It only cares about when Lynn will fulfill the promise."

The last sentence was not written by Lynn himself but by the pen itself.

In response, Lynn, who had already felt the effects of treatment from 0-08, blinked, recalling what had happened before.

Regarding the battle with Ince Zangwill, Lynn didn't spend much time on it. After all, at this moment, Ince was just a Sequence 5, even though he held the Artifact 0-08, he would only be as easy for Lynn to deal with as squishing an ant in a face-to-face battle.

The reason Lynn arrived at the Black Thorn Security Company so late was mainly because he spent time convincing 0-08.

As a top-sealed object with Consciousness, if 0-08 didn't want to cooperate, even if Lynn could forcibly take it away with the aid of external forces, he would only get a ticking time bomb.

So Lynn spent some time painting a rosy picture for 0-08, using 0-08's love for scriptwriting and his own understanding of the plot to describe some scripts that could excite 0-08 and appropriately bring up a certain priest as a threat. Eventually, he successfully reached a superficial agreement with 0-08.

Of course, Lynn knew very well that 0-08, a pen made entirely of contrary bones, would not truly submit to him. It was probably plotting to kill him every moment.

But it didn't matter, because Lynn didn't offer all bait to 0-08. So, until those cravings were satisfied, 0-08 would still be useful to him to some extent, which was enough.

Even if it didn't work out, he could just switch to a bigger one, pay some price, and then go half-mad.

Therefore, facing 0-08's questioning, Lynn just looked at the quill calmly and said with a smile, "Don't be impatient, Quill of Alzuhod, to plot against a god, one must have enough patience."

"But before that, we can practice a bit, like targeting the witch's divine descent container, the Augustus who attempts to ascend to the throne of the Black Emperor, what do you think?"

0-08 paused, and the pen tip in contact with the notebook wrote,

"It seems that you really know a lot, oh~ People like you with many secrets are really suitable to be the protagonist under my pen."

Undoubtedly, this was 0-08's dissatisfaction warning, including some sincere words to a certain extent.

As an avenue for high-sequence sealed objects, 0-08 naturally couldn't fail to see through Lynn's bluff.

"Don't say that, I'm not interested in being featured in your script..." Lynn remained calm, saying:

"Otherwise, I'll have to hand you over to that one, um, I don't even know which step his ritual has reached..."

Lynn used the card- Adam's Warning.JPG

0-08 fell silent, and a few seconds later, the feather pen wrote,

"I hope you're not like Ince Zangwill, a third-rate writer. I've had enough of his stiff coincidences. Letting such a person write a script is simply a stain on me."

Obviously, 0-08 chose to compromise. It was just a sealed object after all. If Lynn were really an ordinary Sequence 9, 0-08 would definitely have crushed him to death and happily let him take the blame in the script, then find the next owner.

Unfortunately, Lynn was not, so even with a rebellious 0-08, it chose to temporarily compromise.

As for whether it would secretly write a script to kill Lynn later—

Do I even need to say? Of course, it would!

"Well, I hope I'm not either..." Lynn, who was very clear about 0-08's temperament, pretended to blush shyly.

After all, Lynn actually knew very well that if he really wrote a script, his level might not be much higher than Ince's.

0-08: ...

So why couldn't he meet someone who was really good at writing scripts?

0-08 felt somewhat depressed, as if he had already seen his future being "stained".

Having dealt with 0-08, Lynn stretched lazily, and then began to review what had just happened.

The battle itself didn't need to be mentioned; it was just a small game for cheating players. The key was what he said to Klein.

Lynn deliberately exposed his identity as a transmigrator in front of Klein. On the one hand, since he was incognito, what did it matter to him, a Sequence 9 newbie, what a Sage did?

On the other hand, Lynn intended to use the identity of a "fellow transmigrator" to increase his presence in Klein's eyes, lay the groundwork for future investment and alliance, and provide Klein with some new motivation.

After all, Ince, the early boss that motivated Klein to work hard for promotion, had been dealt with by Lynn in advance. In this case, in order to ensure that the Lord of Mysteries could still be born, and to ensure that he wouldn't be played out by the Earth in the future, Lynn naturally planned to make up for it.

For Klein, who was longing to return home, what could bring more motivation than news related to transmigration and hometown?

Of course, Lynn didn't deny that there was some malicious fun in saying these things.

As for Klein not leaving the Evernight Church to go to Backlund—Lynn wasn't worried about that. As the number one cat raiser, the Evernight Goddess cared more about Klein's growth than he did.

Tingen was just a newbie village for Klein to adapt to life after transmigration.

Through the follow-up of this incident, Lynn could also roughly grasp the attitude of the Evernight Goddess towards him, so as to determine the subsequent arrangements, which could be described as killing two birds with one stone.

"In any case, with 0-08 in hand, I don't need to be stuck in this cave anymore." In the second Epoch's cave, Lynn opened his eyes, and a series of exploration plans emerged in his mind.

He then glanced around and found that during the short time he had been distracted, a certain mythological creature had disappeared.

This made Lynn stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to go to the entrance of the cave to look for him, he heard a loud roar.

"Roar—"

It seemed to be some kind of giant beast, which inexplicably made Lynn think of a dragon from myth.

Wait, a dragon?

Lynn suddenly realized something and rushed towards the entrance of the cave. Just as he arrived, he saw a figure flying over, it was none other than the child state of Medici.

Lynn flashed and caught Medici, who was about to hit the mountain wall. Medici looked extremely miserable, obviously being beaten up badly in the short time just now.

However, Lynn didn't have time to heal Medici. He immediately looked out of the cave and saw a dragon that covered the sky and sun. Although he didn't feel any fear, he couldn't help but sigh,

"Obviously, I've been so careful to avoid thinking about your name, basically using 0-08 as a substitute, yet you still sensed it."

"This ability to know everything through Connection is really annoying."

Yes, at this moment, outside the cave, the dragon that attacked Medici was indeed a dragon of Sequence 1, the Dragon of Nightmares, Alzuhod.

And in this era, there was only one such existence—Alzuhod, the Nightmare Dragon.

The nominal son of Dragon of Imagination Ankewelt's actual incarnation.
