Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 274 The most watched promotion in history
"Why are you looking at me?" Medici looked up at him and said unhappily.

"I'm just wondering whether you saw it or saw it but pretended not to see it." Rowling, wearing a "Jack" vest, spread his hands and said with a smile.

"You have good eyesight!" Medici rolled his eyes and said with a slight gritted teeth.

"Of course I have good eyesight!" Rowling, wearing a "Jack" vest, said calmly.

"Come to think of it, is this the most anticipated promotion in this era?" Will said this while taking a bite of the three scoops of ice cream in his hand, and then showed a satisfied expression.

Needless to say, the ice cream was made for Him by "Jack".

"Klein, don't feel pressured." Azik glanced at the others helplessly, then looked at Klein with a gentle and encouraging expression.

"Yes, yes. Don't feel pressured. We have so many people here. We have the audience who can fix your problems right away. We have monsters who can give you time to restart. We have the Grim Reaper who will rescue your spirit if you die. We even have compatriots with extensive experience as evil spirits."

Wearing Jack's vest, Rowling grinned as he counted on his fingers. He then looked at Klein and said seriously, "Don't worry. As long as you don't turn into a monster before we can react, it'll be fine."

Klein: ...

What could he say?

"Thank you all for your concern, but I really only advanced to Sequence 6... Why did everyone come here?" Klein finally couldn't hold back and asked. He had originally just wanted to quietly advance to a Faceless Man today, but he didn't know who had spread the news, and everyone had arrived when he was about to advance.

Only Xia, Haitel and others are not trustworthy people, so they have not received any notice and are still working.

"I just want to supervise your promotion to the Faceless Man, so that I can pack you up and send you out as soon as you are promoted." Lucifer said with a smile, speaking his mind bluntly.

"Please, you are my student. Now that you have been promoted to the Faceless Man, of course I have to come over to see you and cover for you." Jack said with a smile, supporting his chin. If people didn't know it in advance, it would be really hard to imagine that he and the one above are the same person.

"You're going to play me next, so naturally I have to come over to check it out in advance to prevent you from ruining my reputation." Medici glanced at Klein and said as a matter of course.

Adam looked at Klein with a smile, but said nothing.

After all, He was just observing the daily life of this family.

"I haven't seen anyone promoted yet, so I want to observe." Little Amon's eyes flickered with curiosity. Then, as if he had thought of something, he added, "Besides, I'll be going there with Brother Klein later, so I naturally need to be aware of the situation firsthand."

"I don't think I have any reason not to come and see you when you're promoted to a Faceless Man. After all, it's a promotion. Even if it's only Sequence 6, there's still a high risk." Azik said gently.

"Is it possible that I came here just to join in the fun because I saw everyone else coming?" Will suggested a possibility.

Klein: ...

Klein didn't know what to say for a moment. He felt a little touched and wanted to laugh. He finally shook his head, calmed himself down, and then his eyes fell on the bottle of Faceless Man potion on the table.

Klein took a deep breath, then without hesitation, drank the bottle of Faceless Man potion in one gulp.

Luo Lin watched this scene quietly and suddenly smiled.

He thought of the scene in Klein's original novel where he ascended to the Faceless Man. Back then, Klein was alone, unable to recognize his brother and sister when they met. Having returned from the dead, he had to avoid former colleagues like Leonard. He also never reunited with Azik, let alone his other companions. He could only drink the potion and ascend alone in his rented room. And now, whether they admitted it or not, it was clear that no one here truly cared about Klein.

That's the change he brought.

I have to say that Rowling likes this change very much. It reminds Rowling of the past, a warm past.

"It turns out that love is the most beautiful thing." Luo Lin smiled and sighed in his heart.

It is precisely because of these beautiful feelings that he insists on becoming a human being.

Just as Rowling was lost in his memories, Klein, who had drunk the Faceless Man's potion, opened his eyes again. His skin had changed a little, and it seemed that some granulations had grown, but these granulations disappeared after a while.

Klein successfully advanced to Sequence 6 Faceless Man.

The successful promotion obviously made Klein feel good. The new abilities he gained after the promotion also made Klein itchy, like a child who couldn't wait to play with a new toy.

This made Klein hesitate for half a second. He looked at Medici, then raised his hand and wiped his face, transforming into the appearance of a red angel.

Medici watched his movements, and suddenly raised the corners of his mouth to reveal a mocking smile, saying, "Too short, little dwarf."

The smile on Klein's face suddenly froze.

Although the Faceless Man can change his body shape, the extent of the change is limited. Given the height difference between Klein and Medici, it is obvious that Klein, who had just been promoted to a Faceless Man, cannot rely on the Faceless Man's ability to make up for the height difference between the two.

"Height is indeed a problem." It was at this time that Rollin realized what the biggest challenge was for Klein to play the role of Medici.

"How about using insoles?" Will suggested enthusiastically. "As far as I know, some actors in theater performances can use insoles to make themselves 20 centimeters taller."

"That sounds like a feasible idea." Azik nodded.

"Insoles are external objects after all, and they are easy for people to see." Rowling, who was wearing a Lucifer vest, shook his head, then he flipped his hand and a mask appeared in his hand.

"Wearing this can make up for the height difference between you and Medici." Rowling, wearing the Lucifer vest, handed the mask to Klein and introduced it.

Although the Hundred Faces Mask cannot adjust a child's body shape to that of an adult, it can still make up for the gap between Klein and Medici.

"Thank you, Mr. Lucifer." Klein took the mask and expressed his gratitude with a rare sense of loss.

He is actually not short. After using the Faceless Man's ability, he can reach more than 1.8 meters tall. However, the people around him are very tall. Medici is almost two meters tall. In comparison, Mr. Fool looks particularly short.

"It's okay, Klein. When you become a Trickster, you can become three meters tall, not to mention two meters." "Jack" obviously saw what Klein was missing, and spoke to comfort him at this moment.

"Three meters is too high." Klein complained, but his mood improved a little.
