Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 26 The Fool is Reading the "Time Travel Diary"

After discussing the topic of informants, Rowling enthusiastically chatted with Klein for a while about the knowledge of the extraordinary field. After thoroughly implementing the teacher's personality, he sent Klein out the door as he needed to go home for dinner.

After watching Klein's trackless carriage drive away, Rowling returned to the house. The innocent, foolish smile on his face faded. He stretched, laughed again, and muttered, "Klein, he really is a good man..."

He really likes dealing with good people.

Putting aside other things, after this exchange, if Klein was a big shot, he would probably be able to take off on the spot and borrow power at least at the demigod level.

"What a pity, but there's nothing wrong with being an angel investor..." Luo Lin muttered to himself and returned to the laboratory on the second floor. He saw a half-carved talisman on the laboratory table, spiritual materials were placed casually aside, and on the right was an open book.

Rowling walked to the experimental table, threw the rune on the half-carved talisman into the trash can, took out the materials and started from scratch. After making another talisman, Rowling yawned, but did not continue practicing.

Rollin simply packed up the lab table, left the house, and came to an uninhabited apartment. This was Rollin's other safe house, and it was also where he received some letters from Backlund.

Luo Lin opened the mailbox and saw a letter lying quietly inside. There was no postmark on the envelope, which obviously meant it was delivered there directly.

Luo Lin picked up the letter and opened the envelope after entering the safe house to examine the contents. The letter was naturally from Mr. A in Backlund. The content of the letter mainly contained information about some extraordinary people who had been active in Backlund recently. This was the content of the transaction between Luo Lin and the Aurora Society.

At the end of the letter, another thing was mentioned - Mr. A mentioned that someone seemed to be buying Russell's diaries recently, and he had sold all the diaries provided by Rowling according to Rowling's last instructions.

Luo Lin raised his eyebrows and smiled playfully, "So, my 'Time Travel Diary' might appear in the Tarot Club soon. It's a pity I'm not a member yet..."

"Once Mr. Fool sees the diary, he'll probably have some guesses about my background. He'll definitely wonder if I wrote it and use it for divination. That way, the next time we meet, I'll know if the gray fog can eliminate the interference of the Naia fragment..."

Luo Lin muttered in his heart that he had deliberately shaped his character into what it is today for the purpose of conducting a test.

Anyway, even if Klein really divined that the diary came from him, it wouldn't matter - isn't it normal for a pure, foolish and playful college student to forge some Russell diaries and sell them for money?

Rowling then thought of Backlund's salted fish duo. After thinking for a while, he took out a piece of letter paper and started writing a letter, but it was not written to Mr. A, but to Xio and Fores.

In the letter, he first expressed his regards to Xio and Fors, then politely inquired about the progress of their investigation into the Fool. Finally, he wrote:
"...I've found out that the Abraham family seems to be a noble family of the Tudor Empire in the Fourth Era. Because of their loyalty to the Blood Emperor, they have always been at odds with the Trunsost Empire. So, is there a possibility that the curse suffered by the Abraham family is related to the Trunsost Empire?

We all know that Backlund once belonged to the Trunsost Empire, and some noble families even pledged allegiance to the Trunsost Empire. So, would there be any records of this in the books collected by these ancient nobles?
Perhaps we can try to contact the nobles of Backlund to gain knowledge in this area.

Your loyal friend, Jack Jones."

Rowling's purpose in writing this letter was nothing more than to guide Hugh and Fors to proactively contact Justice Audrey and the others. After all, with his butterfly effect, Rowling wasn't sure if Fors would still reach out to Audrey and the others, as she did in the original novel, out of a desire to free Hugh. Rowling wasn't one to sit back and wait for death, so he chose to take the initiative. He might not care about other mediocre duos, but when it came to the Full Moon Curse, even a mediocre duo would be perturbed.

After finishing the letter to the Xianyu duo, Luo Lin took up his interest and began writing letters to other people, one to Mr. A and one to Azik. After finishing, Luo Lin took out his pocket watch to check the time. Seeing that it was already past nine o'clock that evening, he couldn't help but shake his head: "With my sleep schedule, I'm really afraid of sudden death."

Going to bed at nine o'clock in the evening is certainly not too late, but Luo Lin has already endured for three days. If he endures any longer, he feels that he will die.

"Forget it, I'll just listen to the advice, eat a full meal, and go to bed early!" Luo Lin shook his head, went to the post office first, sent out several letters, and then went back home to catch up on his sleep.

……

Monday, 3pm.

Klein held his third Tarot meeting.

He first congratulated Justice Audrey on her promotion to Sequence 9 Spectator, then took the Russell Diary from the Hanged Man Alger and Justice Audrey, and began the traditional project of the Future Tarot Club - The Fool reading the Russell Diary.

There was nothing wrong with the first three pages of the diary. They mainly recorded Russell's use of One Piece memes after traveling through time, his discovery of an unnamed island, his resistance to an arranged marriage and then his love for it, etc. While allowing Klein to gain all kinds of knowledge, he couldn't help but complain in his heart.

But when Klein flipped through the fourth page of the diary, which was the second page provided by Justice Audrey, he was stunned for a moment, because the diary read:

"September 6, sunny.

It’s been three days since I came into this world…”

The diary does not contain much content. It mainly tells the story of a time traveler who wanted to lie down after traveling through time but found that his identity after traveling through time had a powerful enemy. So he had to struggle to become a thief, but was caught by the enemy in the blink of an eye.

However, it was only in the first three pages of Roselle's diary that Klein saw how Roselle joined the Church of Steam and became a universalist, and that Roselle's family after traveling through time was the Gustav family. However, this page of the diary wrote that the diary owner traveled through time and space to a family called Quezoroast.

And the biggest enemy of this family is called Amon.

"If Russell wasn't bored and forged his diary, then this last page probably belongs to another time traveler." Klein muttered in his heart, surprisingly not feeling too surprised.

The main reason was that he was used to it. When he first crossed over, Klein knew about the various major events that Russell, the senior time traveler, had caused. A few days later, Klein met his fellow countryman Jack Jones, so he had long been prepared that there was more than one time traveler in this world, and perhaps even many.
