Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 160 Master Luo did not escape the disaster after all

Facing Luo Lin's invitation, Medici's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes showed his inner excitement. However, he then thought of something, and his eyes dimmed a little, but he insisted on losing the battle but not the battle:
"Although I really want to burn the little crow's feathers again, unfortunately I don't even have a Sequence 2 yet. It seems that this opportunity will only be given to you!"

Hearing this, Rowling smiled, then put a box on the table and pushed it towards Medici, indicating that he should take it.

Medici raised his eyebrows and opened the box. Sure enough, inside was the "Conqueror" characteristic that Rowling possessed.

"I'll lend it to you for a while, but remember to return it to me later." Rowling said with a smile. The Conqueror characteristic might not play much of a role in the hands of other people, but it was obviously different in the hands of Medici.

"I thought you would just advance it to me." Medici's fingertips pressed on the Conqueror feature in the box, feeling the strange yet familiar breath of this feature. It was hard to tell what Medici's mood was at this moment.

"Although you are my friend, brothers still have to settle accounts. If we agreed to work for you for three years, it means three years." Luo Lin said with a smile, fully demonstrating his ruthlessness as a chosen capitalist. Then he added slowly:

"But if you want to snatch the Conqueror trait from someone else, I support it."

"So do you have any clues?" Luo Lin asked with a smile, supporting his chin with one hand.

He didn't think that with Medici's style, he would not investigate the whereabouts of other Conqueror traits while preparing for advancement to Sequence 0.

Especially unlike the original story where he had to fight alone and recruit allies, although Medici no longer works for the real creator, he obviously still maintains a good relationship with them, and it is simple to borrow the power under the real creator.

"There are indeed some clues. One of the remaining two Conqueror Traits should be in the hands of the Witch Cult, and the other..." Medici paused here and looked at Luo Lin. "Maybe it's related to the mirror world you mentioned before."

Luo Lin blinked, unsurprised by the answer. He smiled and said, "So this shows that it's necessary to establish a witch sect. The mirror world has a close relationship with the original witch! After you complete the original witch, you might even get a Red Priest unique gift pack - of course, I mean, you might choose to invest in you."

"You really know." Medici glanced at Rowling, his expression not surprised.

"I didn't say I didn't know!" Luo Lin shrugged and said with a righteous smile, "I have to give you a chance to show your abilities. Do you want me to support you?"

"Tsk!" Medici tsks, pulls out an apple from somewhere, takes a bite, and then says, "I'm curious, is there anything you don't know?"

"There are many, for example..." Luo Lin paused here, then smiled and said, "Has the little crow ever been beaten and cried?"

……

Klein didn't know whether Amon had ever cried after being beaten, just as he didn't know that the event, which was originally just a sudden inspiration of Rowling, had now seen an explosion in the number of participants.

All Klein knew was that his activity-filled nature had been on full display again these past few days, resulting in a truly exciting few days. Not only had he explored a strange underground structure and unexpectedly learned the true appearances of the Goddess of Night and other gods, he had also stumbled upon a murder case and encountered a puppet master attacking Miss Sharon. The excitement was comparable to his time in Tingen. By the time Klein regained consciousness, it was already Monday.

"Wait, you just said that you accidentally encountered a Puppet Master attacking Sharon yesterday. What was the name of that Puppet Master?"

Inside the villa, Rowling, who was wearing Jack's vest and listening to Klein complain about his wonderful daily life, suddenly discovered a blind spot and raised his hand to ask.

"According to the communication, the other party's name is Rosago..." Klein's expression became more subtle at this point. "He seems to be a subordinate of the Intis ambassador. He destroyed his usual marionette in a previous operation, so he took action after seeing Miss Sharon. He seems to really want a vengeful spirit as a new marionette."

Luo Lin: ...

Master Luo! Master Luo, you died tragically!
I didn't expect that you still couldn't escape!
But you’re also right, which widowed puppet master doesn’t want a ghost puppet (funny)!
"So how did you kill Master Luo... no, Rosago?" Luo Lin laughed in his heart and observed three seconds of silence for Master Luo, then showed a curious expression and asked.

"Miss Sharron held Rosago back, and I used Creeping Hunger," Klein said succinctly. "Rosago is indeed very strong, but fortunately, Creeping Hunger is powerful enough."

"Tsk, poor Master Luo!" Luo Lin shook his head, then looked at Klein and asked excitedly, "So you herded Rosago?"

"Well, I divined that Rosago, as a subordinate of the Intis ambassador, had done many dirty things over the years, and his crimes were truly heinous. So, I used him to replace the Faceless Man's characteristics." Klein didn't hide anything and nodded. "After herding, I gained the skill of the Puppet Master's Spiritual Thread."

The reason why Rosago's crimes were emphasized was because Klein was a principled person who had sworn to only release those who deserved their punishment.

After the Wriggling Hunger is herded, it will randomly gain one to three skills from the herded creature. From this point of view, Klein is not too lucky, as he only gained one skill, but it is not bad either, after all, he gained the core skill of the Puppet Master.

"Awesome!" Rowling first gave Klein a thumbs-up, then pinched his chin and said with interest:
"By the way, when Medici gave you the Puppet Master trait, I wanted to ask you. Didn't you say you wanted to open an alt? But relying on Gray Mist alone was too fake. Now that you have the Puppet Master trait, have you opened your alt?"

"I've experimented before, and it's indeed possible to use the Puppet Master's characteristics to create a secondary account. I plan to use "World" as the code name for my secondary account. I'm going to attend the Tarot Club with Miss Magician today." Klein nodded, then glanced at Rowling suspiciously and said, "Jack, why do I feel like you're really looking forward to me creating a secondary account?"

Luo Lin glanced at him in confusion, then said matter-of-factly, "If it were you, wouldn't you want to watch your friend cosplay a god and perform a double act right in front of you?"

Klein: ...

Klein choked at Rowling's overly frank attitude. He looked at Rowling, whose face clearly read "I want to have fun." The corners of his mouth twitched, and he finally couldn't help but hold his forehead and said, "Jack, I suddenly realize that I still prefer the old you. Can you please recover for a while?"

After losing the naive, Klein realized that the naive version of Jack was still better. At least at that time, Jack wouldn't be so frank in expressing his desire to watch his fun.
