Facts proved that Alista Tudor was still very reliable.
So after some time, Amon stumbled under the combined efforts of Alista, Ouroboros, and Antigonus.
Although Lin Ruo's reputation among the common people was not salvaged because of this, He still laughed for a full ten minutes after knowing about it, not because Amon was beaten, but mainly because of a strange sense of 'my child has grown up' satisfaction.
However, after this incident, although Ouroboros became a little more familiar with Alista, their relationship remained the same, and the frequency of their interactions did not increase much.
The reason for this, in addition to their differences in personality, was probably that one of them was too much of a homebody, and the other was too busy.
When Alista Tudor was busy dealing with the matters of the Judgment Sword and the work His teacher left Him when He skipped work, Ouroboros was painting, praying, and slacking off.
When Alista Tudor resigned from the Judgment Sword and became Solomon's right-hand man, while also handling the work His teacher left behind when He skipped work, Ouroboros was still painting, praying, and slacking off.
When Alista Tudor began to plot for His advancement, even secretly conspiring with Antigonus, and was about to receive a warning from Lin Ruo, Ouroboros… Oh, this time He wasn't painting, praying, or slacking off, but had restarted into a child's state, experiencing childhood for the nth time.
It can be said that it was very normal for Ouroboros and Alista Tudor not to be familiar with each other; their lifestyles were too different.
If Ouroboros was a Salted Fish who lay flat, with daily states of only painting, praying, and slacking off, apart from occasionally doing proper work, then Alista Tudor was definitely the king of overachievers, with His daily life consisting of work, work, and more work.
It can be said that Alista Tudor was able to first become Lin Ruo's deputy and then Solomon's trusted right-hand man, absolutely not because of so-called nepotism, but because this guy was simply too capable, the kind of tool man that bosses who love to slack off prefer to use.
Whether Lin Ruo skipped work or Solomon went on a 'fact-finding' trip, Alista Tudor could perfectly take over in a short time, allowing the bosses to have no worries and focus on their own affairs.
Of course, no matter how capable Alista Tudor was, it had nothing to do with Ouroboros.
He would not learn the 'inner roll' spirit of His junior, but continued to live His shut-in life as always.
Although Ouroboros's work increased later due to the worsening situation, it was still relatively leisurely overall.
Until one day, Ouroboros, who was performing His morning prayers, unexpectedly received a message from Medici, the content of which was "Lin Ruo is in danger, come quickly."
So Ouroboros, halfway through His prayers, hurriedly followed Medici and Solomon to the battlefield, rescuing Lin Ruo, who had fallen into the trap of the Witch and the God of War.
Although they arrived in time, Lin Ruo was still seriously injured, and even after being rescued, He would need a period of deep slumber to recover and stabilize Himself.
And Ouroboros also learned the cause of things developing this way: Lin Ruo wanted to seize the Justiciar uniqueness from the God of War, so He planned to first investigate the situation there, and the reason He wanted the Justiciar uniqueness was to help Alista Tudor change His pathway.
It's hard to say what Ouroboros felt at that moment.
Was it anger by association? Probably, or maybe not.
He just instinctively looked at Alista Tudor.
The latter stood in the corner, clearly among the crowd, yet seemingly outside of it, while the center of the crowd was Lin Ruo, who was being lectured by Medici.
Ouroboros could not see the emotions in Alista Tudor's eyes, because He was looking down, and only His tightly pursed lips were visible.
Was He blaming Himself?
Ouroboros didn't know; He had not understood Lin Ruo's student for a very long time.
But regardless of whether Alista Tudor was blaming Himself, Lin Ruo clearly did not take His anger out on Alista Tudor because of this matter; on the contrary, He even felt some apology towards His student.
"Sorry, helping you jump to Justiciar will probably have to be delayed," Lin Ruo said, His tone containing both helplessness and apology.
"It's okay, Teacher doesn't need to apologize to me for this.
Helping me change pathways was never Teacher's responsibility.
Instead, I am very sorry that Teacher was injured because of my matter," Alista Tudor, whose expression had returned to normal, shook His head and said.
"…" Lin Ruo pursed His lips.
He seemed to want to say something, but in the end, He only sighed.
"Alista…" Lin Ruo suddenly called out.
"Teacher, is there something you want to instruct me?" Alista Tudor asked with a serious expression.
"Don't forget what you promised me, okay?" Lin Ruo looked at Alista Tudor and said.
Alista Tudor paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "I won't forget, Teacher."
What they were talking about, Ouroboros did not know.
Only after that, Lin Ruo fell into a deep slumber, and the situation in the Solomon Empire also worsened, but with the Black Emperor Solomon and the True Creator, two Sequence 0s, it was barely stable.
But then one day, unexpectedly, Ouroboros received the news of Solomon's fall.
Ouroboros: ?
Ouroboros did not know why things suddenly developed this way; He only learned from Medici that this matter seemed to be related to Trunsoest and Antigonus, who seemed to have secretly allied with the Six Gods and orchestrated this conspiracy.
"Then what did Alista do? Why did He become a Sequence 1 with Trunsoest? And what's going on with the Tudor-Trunsoest Empire?" Ouroboros asked Medici His questions.
As He asked this question, He suddenly thought of the words Lin Ruo had said to Alista Tudor when He was in deep slumber.
"That little brat…" Medici folded His arms across His chest, leaning casually against the wall, His eyes narrowed slightly.
"I'm not quite sure what He did, but He shouldn't have been involved in Solomon's fall."
"However…" Medici changed the subject, saying, "Even if Alista wasn't involved in this matter, He must have known about Trunsoest's conspiracy long ago.
One can only say that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it.
This guy got the desired result without dirtying His own hands, heh!"
Ouroboros fell silent for a moment, then finally said, "Lin Ruo will be angry."
"Tsk…" Medici pouted, and continued, "Lil' Black will certainly be angry, but He didn't actually get involved, so even if Lil' Black is angry, He won't really do anything to Him because of it."
"It's just a pity for Solomon, but… heh!" Medici chuckled, a hint of sarcasm in His smile, not knowing what He had thought of.
"It's not certain who will have the last laugh!"
