Redfall, who was supposed to be contracting the diamond grimoire, approached Wyatt. Seeing his master deeply contemplating something while staring at the daughter gem in his hand, Redfall decided to wait and not disturb him.
Having learned about the principles of his daughter gems and bloodline, Wyatt turned to Redfall and asked, "What is it?"
"Master, I think I would be able to better serve you if I were to contract my old grimoire. If I contract a new one, I would lose my old origin cards," Redfall explained. Though origin cards are unique, they are still cards, and once equipped, they become unequippable. So, it did not come as a shock to Wyatt to learn that one would lose their origin cards along with their grimoire. Wyatt felt that Redfall's words made sense; without his wicked origin cards, Redfall was just another demigod, albeit a more handsome one. Therefore, Wyatt asked, "Do you know where your old grimoire is?"
"If it isn't currently being used by someone else, I should be able to summon it once I enter the Card World. But if it is being used, I should be able to sense its location while in the Card World," Redfall revealed, causing Wyatt a headache. Taking Redfall into the Card World would mean deceiving the Field Marshal.
Considering Redfall's past crimes, Wyatt couldn't think of any valid reason to convince the Field Marshal to give Redfall a second chance. It would be surprising if she did not attack him on sight. Therefore, he could only ask Redfall to alter his appearance and lie to the Field Marshal about his identity.
There was also the matter of those who possessed Redfall's grimoire. Once Redfall tried to summon or locate his grimoire, they would know he had been revived. Given Redfall's notoriety, all five regions would likely agree to put him on their top ten most wanted list. Soon, Sky Blossom City would become noisy, as that was where Yin Widow had come to find her son.
Not to mention, the Southern Royal family possessed Redfall's Soul Candle card. The moment he stepped out of the dungeon seal, it would immediately leak his information to whoever currently held the Soul Candle card.
Finding that it was too much trouble for one thrash daughter gem he planned to destroy after his experiment was concluded, Wyatt prepared to reject Redfall's request --but Redfall, as if reading his master's concerns, spoke up first. Seeking Wyatt's
permission, he revealed, "Master, I have a rune that helps me hide from all kinds of tracking cards, runes, and curses. Even my Soul Candle card cannot locate me if I don't want to be found. I can reforge my runes and reestablish my divinity without a grimoire, so I plan to first recover my runes and divinity, then search for my grimoire." Wyatt had heard tales of how dreadful Redfall's origin cards were. Though not as powerful as the origin cards of the Three Mischiefs, Redfall's origin card allowed him to establish the biggest sex cult in the history of the Card World. This cult was deeply rooted across all five regions and even the empire at Redfall's prime.
The terror of Redfall and his cult was not to be underestimated. Even the empire's fanatics feared the madness of Redfall's cult members. Many who had seen Clown Mask's future vision would argue that Redfall and his sex cult were more scary than the Three Mischiefs and their forces.
Not stronger, but scarier, because Redfall and his followers believed in the doctrine of 'Universal Love! They would hump anything that moved, had a hole/pole, or simply turned them on. Many did not fear death but were terrified of their own and their loved ones' dignity being violated. What terrified them the most was that Redfall and his followers wouldn't even spare a mangled corpse.
Just the thought of Redfall and his cult taking turns violating his enemies and their families was enough to make the World leaders lose sleep. Therefore, if they discovered that Redfall had been revived-especially those who had conspired to kill him the first time-they would do everything in their power to find him before he regained his strength and extinguish his soul so thoroughly that he could never be revived again.
Wyatt weighed the pros and cons of helping Redfall retrieve his grimoire. Considering the impending Demon invasion, the Seven Princes of Hell, Gideon Grim a.k.a. Handsome Fox, the Three Mischiefs, the Masters, and Librarian Jr's conspiracy, Wyatt felt that having someone like Redfall in his ranks could be beneficial, especially with his plans to expand in the Dark Realm. After all, Redfall's origin cards operated on the principle of 'Universal Love, which meant he could establish his cult any where in the myriad realms let alone in the Dark Realm.
The more Wyatt thought about it, the more the pros outweighed the cons of helping Redfall regain his grimoire. As his daughter gem, Redfall wouldn't be able to repeat his past atrocities unless Wyatt willed it. Therefore, it was more logical to keep Redfall around and help him reclaim his old origin cards.
Recognizing that he would need all the help he could get when venturing into the myriad realms, Wyatt no longer hesitated. He decisively chose to keep Redfall around and assist him in retrieving his old grimoire.
"Fine. For now, reforge your runes and reestablish your divinity. Once you've fully recovered, I'll help you retrieve your old grimoire," Wyatt informed Redfall, ordering him to focus on his recovery first.
Now that Wyatt had made his decision, he did not let any guilt get to him. He promised himself that he would use Redfall's abilities to help defend the Card World from the upcoming demon invasion. Just then his demon codex sounded with a notification,
