Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 22 Some embarrassing questions
Leonard finally couldn't help but say quietly at this moment, "Old man, why don't you just move on to your descendant? It's quite suitable anyway."

Upon hearing this, Pales glanced at Leonard, snorted, and said nothing.

Luo Lin began to hesitate.

"Why, don't you admire the old man very much? Don't you want Him to move on to you?" Leonard naturally saw Rowling's reluctant attitude, and said immediately, with obvious temptation in his words.

"I really admire Ancestor Pales, but..." Rowling hesitated for a moment, carefully glanced at Shadow Pales, then at Leonard, before saying, "I'm an adult now, and I don't really want to be accompanied by an elder even when I go to the bathroom."

Leonard's expression suddenly froze.

Luo Lin continued, "And if I end up in a relationship, it won't be very convenient."

Leonard's expression became even stiffer.

Leonard had never thought deeply about this issue before, but now he suddenly realized the embarrassment and a very crucial point - with Pales around, he couldn't have a girlfriend, otherwise he would be seen naked.

Doesn't this mean that if Pales doesn't leave, he will be single forever? !
At this time, Pales chuckled and said, "Don't think too much. Who wants to see those two pieces of flesh on your body? Besides, with your personality, it's not surprising that you've been single your whole life."

Leonard's face suddenly turned red, and he didn't know whether it was because of embarrassment or anger.

Luo Lin watched this scene with a smile.

Ah, that’s great, Leziman has digested the potion a little bit.

……

"Dear Klein,
I feel like seeing you in person.

I went back to Backlund these past two days, searched through many ancient books, and asked some friends, which gave me some new information about the Fool.

Legend has it that the Fool worshipped by the Antigonus family is their ancestor. Some ancient texts record that he is related to the Blood Emperor of the Tudor Empire. Some ancient texts even mention that the Fool was seemingly canonized as a Duke by the Blood Emperor. Also dukes with him are the mysterious Duke Amon and Duke Abraham.

I don't know whether these things are true or not, maybe they are just some legends, but I have to say that it still surprises me. In the buried history of the Fourth Age, there seem to be many secrets hidden that we don't know.

Besides this, I also learned that because of this Fool, the Kingdom of Night has a rather unique custom. The people living there do not bury the dead, but instead place them in an empty house. The body will disappear the next day. The people of the Kingdom of Night firmly believe that the deceased has gone to serve in the Kingdom of God.

Finally, I wonder if you have any knowledge of those mysterious powers in legends? It's not convenient to describe this part in a letter. If you want to know more, we can discuss it in detail next time we meet (ps: I'm free every afternoon during this period).

Your loyal friend, Jack Jones."

After reading Rowling's letter from beginning to end, Klein put it down, a thoughtful expression on his face. Several days had passed since Klein's last meeting with Rowling, and his life had been quite fulfilling. He had been promoted to a Sequence 9 Seer, held his second Tarot Club, joined the Seer Club, solved a kidnapping case with Leonard, obtained new clues from the Antigonus family notes, and learned a wealth of professional knowledge from Old Neil, including some unique expense reporting techniques. It could be said that not a single day was wasted.

Klein had also been thinking about the half-fool of the Antigonus family. However, it had only been a few days, and he felt embarrassed to ask Jack Jones about it so soon. Unexpectedly, he received a letter from him as soon as he returned today.

After Klein digested the information revealed in the letter, his gaze fell on the end.

"Could the mysterious power refer to the Extraordinary Path? Is Jack also an Extraordinary?" Klein speculated in his heart. He was not surprised. After all, if Jack Jones really was a time traveler from the same place as him, it would mean that he could also read Russell's diary, know the Extraordinary Path, and even become an Extraordinary. It was normal.

Klein's only slight surprise was that the other party seemed to be preparing to tell him something about extraordinary powers, even though they had only met once. However, considering Jack's personality, it seemed normal.

The other person looked like someone who could do such a thing.

"I can tell at a glance that he hasn't experienced the beatings from official Beyonders. He's lucky he met me, otherwise he might have been caught and locked up behind the Chanis Gate." Klein complained in his heart. After thinking for a moment, out of caution, he took out his crystal pendulum and performed divination.

"Keeping secrets about Jack Jones would put me in danger."

After repeating this three times, Klein used his pendulum to divine and found out that hiding the matter of Jack Jones would indeed not put him in danger.

This made Klein feel much more at ease. He glanced at his pocket watch again and confirmed that it was only after 3 p.m. Klein thought about it and decided to go meet Jack Jones.

Klein had a hunch that the other party was in the extraordinary realm and might be able to provide him with some new information.

Klein immediately left home and boarded a trackless carriage, arriving at the street he had visited a few days ago.

"Boom boom boom——"

As Klein knocked on the door, footsteps were soon heard from inside the house. The next second, the door opened from the inside, and Rowling appeared in front of Klein.

"Jack, how long have you been awake?" Klein was shocked after taking a closer look at the person in front of him. Rowling, who had been a gentleman and exquisitely dressed from head to toe the last time they met, now had a messy hair, and it was obvious that he had not taken good care of it. Although his clothes were neatly worn, they were a little wrinkled. There was also a dark spot under his beautiful emerald eyes, and he could tell at a glance that he was an old cultivator.

"Not bad, about three days?" Rowling yawned, ushered Klein in, and sat him down on the sofa. He said, "Klein, wait a moment. I'll go take care of myself."

Klein naturally had no objection. After waiting for a few minutes, Rowling, who had successfully dressed himself up, appeared before him again.

"Sorry for the wait," Rowling said as he poured coffee for Klein and a cup for himself. After taking a big sip, he said, "I've been learning new things these days and I've been a little obsessed."

Luo Lin was telling the truth. After meeting Pales, since he had no other important things to do, apart from checking in at Tingen University and handling some work, he also did some daily work to improve Azik's favor. By the way, he took the time to meet Pales once to confirm the cooperation between the two parties. Then, Luo Lin devoted himself to learning all kinds of mystical knowledge in this world, especially focusing on various ritual magics. He forgot about time, let alone taking care of himself.
