Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 119 The Fool's Fall

Klein was stunned, a subtle emotion rising in his heart. He certainly knew why the Fool's honorific name was so pointed, because it was designed by him, a time traveler.

Klein couldn't help but say, "You're too impulsive. What if the Fool is an evil god?"

"Then I'm not afraid either. Have you forgotten I still have a teacher?" Rowling glanced at Klein doubtfully and said, "You don't think this old guy let me run around without taking any protective measures on me, do you?"

Klein suddenly felt relieved when he thought of Lucifer's protective attitude and the attitude of the Goddess of Night towards Lucifer.

That's right, for an ordinary extraordinary person to provoke a being that is suspected to be an evil god is indeed seeking death, but if he has a guy like Lucifer as his backer, Jack does have the capital to rush in.

"That's not right. Since you have the protective measures left by Mr. Lucifer, why did you almost lose control after establishing a connection with Mr. Men?" Klein suddenly thought of something and asked suspiciously.

Luo Lin blinked. Facing Klein's suspicious look, he didn't rush to defend himself. Instead, he gave Klein a meaningful look and said, "Klein, I don't remember me telling you about this. How did you know?"

He had not originally intended to expose Mr. Fool's identity at this time, but since the other party had come to his door, as a white-cut black, he naturally could not turn a blind eye.

This time, it was Klein's turn to stiffen. He explained almost subconsciously, "This is what Mr. Fool told me..."

"Klein, you have a really good relationship with Mr. Fool. He actually told you all this." Luo Lin looked at him with a smile. "Yet, even though you know all this, you don't even have a seat in the Tarot Club."

Klein's skin was covered with goosebumps. If he were in cat mode now, his fur would have exploded.

Klein admitted that he missed Jack's innocent and naive state. Back then, Jack would not have displayed such a sharp attitude regardless of whether he was concerned about his character or not.

At the same time, Klein also remembered something - because he thought Jack was a naive person before, he didn't hide some things too much. Now he thinks that they are all loopholes.

Someone who could identify him as a time traveler at first sight, did he really not realize that he was the Fool himself?

Klein raised his head with difficulty to look at Rowling and asked tentatively, "You know, right?"

This sentence can be used offensively or defensively. It can be asking "Do you know that I am a fool?" or it can be asking "Do you know the special relationship between me and fools?"

"What do you mean I know? I don't know! I'm just a naive person with an empty head." Luo Lin showed an innocent expression.

This gave Klein a slight stomachache. After struggling for a while, he finally said unhappily, "You know I'm Mr. Fool, right?"

He laid his cards on the table. Anyway, this secret was no longer a secret to Lucifer, so let Jack know!
And… Klein looked at Rowling. As expected, after hearing what he said, the other party's expression did not show any surprise.

This shows that Jack has indeed known that he is the Fool for a long time!
Gan!
Even Klein couldn't help but grit his teeth at this moment. He looked at Rowling and almost squeezed out a sentence through his teeth: "So you have been laughing at me all this time!"

"No way, it was you who tricked me first by pretending to be a fool. I just pretended to know nothing. How can you blame me for this?" Luo Lin was not guilty at all. Instead, he began to shift the blame with confidence.

Klein, who was blamed, felt guilty for a moment, then he reacted and asked, "When did you know I was the Fool?" "Of course I knew it the first time I saw Mr. Fool." Rowling spoke the truth. Although he knew who the Fool was when he read the book, he matched Mr. Fool in the real world with Klein when he first met him.

Klein gritted his teeth and continued, "How did you do it?"

He thought he was quite good at playing the fool and shouldn't be exposed at the first encounter.

"Klein, what do gods look like in your eyes?" Rowling did not answer directly, but asked with a smile.

Klein was stunned for a moment.

Luo Lin didn't need his answer and said directly, "Mr. Fool is too gentle. He even got angry because I accidentally provoked Mr. Men... How could a god who doesn't even know me care about me so much?"

He looked at Klein and continued with a smile, "Only my friends would be angry about my suicidal behavior and care about me so much!"

Klein was speechless, feeling a little embarrassed by Rowling's sincere smile. He thought for a moment and continued, "So, what exactly happened that time you provoked Mr. Laimen?"

"It was just a test..." Luo Lin said openly, "Mr. Men is a friend of the old man, so I asked Mr. Men for help that time. I made my condition almost out of control, so as to test the Fool's attitude."

"If the Fool is truly connected to my time travel, He would not allow a chess piece like me to die. He would definitely take some measures."

At this point, Rowling glanced at Klein, blinked, and said, "In fact, he did take measures, didn't he?"

Klein frowned. If he had been blinded by Rowling's innocent image before and hadn't noticed something, now that Rowling had stopped pretending, Klein's keen sense almost recognized a certain characteristic of Rowling. This made him frown and ask, "What if the Fool isn't me? Or what if 'He' has nothing to do with your time travel?"

"That's okay. Mr. Men will stop in time. I won't really lose control. I just need to drink some potions to heal it later."

Rowling said as a matter of course, this was also his original plan - if Klein really did not help him, he naturally would not let himself lose control and would do what he had to do.

"Jack..." After hearing what Rowling said, Klein's brows furrowed even more. He looked at Rowling and sighed, "Have you ever thought about what would happen if something unexpected happened and you really lost control?"

"No, Mr. Men knows his limits, and I don't lose control that easily." Rowling waved his hand. He could tell Klein was worried about him, so he added, "Don't worry, really."

"Jack, what exactly is your attitude towards your life?" Klein was not comforted at all and just asked with a frown.

"What attitude? Ha, little fortune teller, you know that your little friend doesn't care about his own life or death at all, right?" Medici's sarcastic voice sounded at this moment. He appeared on the sofa again, even holding an apple in his hand.

"To be honest, I value my life more than he does."
