Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 116: Countdown to Rolling Car

Klein was stunned. He looked from Rowling to Medici, and after a long pause, he managed to utter, "No one told me this."

At the same time, Klein noticed that Medici's expression didn't show any surprise or rebuttal, which meant that what Jack said was true. Mr. Red and the forces behind him really intended to launch a revolution, and Jack knew this very well.

Klein suddenly thought of when the two of them had just arrived in Backlund. At that time, because Mr. Red was targeting Jack, he had suggested whether he should tell Mr. Lucifer, and Jack's response was to tell him that Mr. Red was a good person.

Klein suddenly realized something belatedly. The reason Mr. Red came to take care of them might not be simply because something big was about to happen in Backlund. It was also very likely because Mr. Red and the forces behind him had reached some kind of cooperation with Lucifer regarding the reform.

And in this whole thing, he was probably the only one who knew nothing about it.

This made Klein subconsciously look at Rowling, and thinking about how the other party had just directly recognized the identities of Meursault and Ian Wright as spies, he suddenly felt that his little friend had become a stranger.

Is this really his naive and trusting friend who usually gets into a lot of trouble, big and small?

"What else? I'm still a monster." Luo Lin seemed to see what he was thinking, rolled his eyes in annoyance, and said:
"How many filters do you put on me, kid? I'm your student after all, and I've traveled all over the world with him. You don't really think I'm a naive person, do you?"

"If I were really a naive naiveté, would the old man let me wander around alone?"

But Mr. Lucifer did say that you have a problem with your brain... Klein refuted in his heart and carefully recalled his daily life with Jack, but found that these were not without trace.

Apart from anything else, Jack was able to immediately identify his identity as a fortune teller when he first met him. This is definitely not something a naive person can do.

Jack was actually never stupid, but his interpersonal behavior made Klein subconsciously filter him.

Now that I think about it, if Jack was really a pure naive person, Mr. Lucifer, who was so protective of his cubs, would never let him run around alone.

And if Jack is not as naive as he appears to be, then has the other party discovered his identity as a time traveler?

Klein suddenly realized this and almost subconsciously looked at Rowling, who blinked at him.

Klein suddenly realized that the other party actually knew.

This immediately reminded Klein of his previous behavior. A feeling of embarrassment surged from the soles of his feet to his heart, giving him goosebumps all over his body. He wished he could dig a hole in the ground and bury himself in it.

This is so embarrassing!
"What kind of pantomime are you performing here?" Medici, who was watching the show nearby, spoke at this moment with a very sarcastic tone.

"We're just chatting about some private matters between friends. Don't ask too much." Rowling shot back without any hesitation, then looked at Medici and said:

"You and I both know that it is not easy to accomplish the reform with the power behind you, so why not try to get the power of other countries for free?" Medici narrowed his eyes again, obviously having thought of something.

Luo Lin continued with a smile, "Intis has been thinking about starting a war for years. Do you think they would mind igniting this spark and causing chaos within Loen?"

"...They can't possibly not realize the danger of doing this." Medici has already understood what Rowling meant. The other party wants to deceive Intis for support and use the other party's power to promote change.

But Intis is not an idiot. It is impossible for them not to see the harm that change will bring to themselves.

"This is a world with extraordinary power. The more powerful it is, the more arrogant it is. Do you really think those arrogant guys will take a revolution without the participation of angels seriously?" Rowling continued slowly.

Medici understood what he meant. If the True Creator was allowed to push forward directly in public, he would certainly encounter fierce opposition. However, if the True Creator hid behind the scenes and packaged the matter as one that only those below the angels participated in, then the danger of the matter itself in the eyes of others would be greatly reduced.

Because this truly is a world where fists mean power.

"And once the spark is ignited, with your involvement, it won't be so easy to extinguish, right?" Rowling obviously guessed what he was thinking and spoke with a smile at this time.

Although theoretically, the Creator camp with the Ancient Sun God has the biggest power in this world and it should be easiest to promote reform, the Ancient Sun God can only appear for a limited time after all, and it is impossible for him to really kill all the others. Luo Lin also does not want to become a tool to summon the Ancient Sun God for reform, so naturally he has to use his brain and think of other ways.

"Even so, Intis may not be willing to help. This is not a trivial matter." Medici thought for a few seconds and spoke again. Although he was refutation, looking at his thoughtful expression, it was obvious that he had already thought about it in his heart and just wanted to see what Rowling thought.

"That depends on your abilities. Can you convince them to offer assistance?" Rowling said with a smile. While Klein wasn't paying attention, he silently mouthed the words "Black Emperor" to Medici.

Medici instantly understood what the other party meant.

Under normal circumstances, Intis would not necessarily go to great lengths to cause civil unrest in Loen, but what if they knew that the Loen royal family was planning to introduce a Black Emperor?
Once the news reaches them, Intis will definitely stop the birth of the Black Emperor at all costs to ensure his own safety.

One way to prevent this is to cause civil unrest in Rune.

In this way, if Medici can manipulate this matter a little, he will be able to get a large amount of aid for free. Once this aid reaches Loen, he will naturally have the final say. As long as he can show the "results" there, the aid will continue to flow until the Black Emperor Ritual in Loen completely fails.

In the meantime, the people on their side didn't even have to pay much. Even if they failed, the cost was not high, but once they succeeded, everyone would gain something.

This made Medici confirm one thing again, that is, the guy in front of him was really very dangerous. This danger was not only reflected in the other party's magical power, but also in the other party's brain.

Not everyone can think so far in an instant with the help of an ambassador. Rowling's idea can be said to have directly reversed the situation, turning his friend's disadvantage into an advantage, and making Medici willingly join the game. Even the originally thorny conspiracy of the Rune royal family became one of the points that can be exploited.
