Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 31 Give Azik a Little Shock

What, there is such a thing?

Klein's eyes widened as he felt the shock of high-end extraordinary power for the first time.

Of course, this only meant that Klein only had a vague understanding of high-end extraordinary power, otherwise he would probably be even more shocked.

Azik was also stunned for a moment. He seemed to recall something. He raised his hand and rubbed his brow, then asked doubtfully, "You mean the historical projection? But, but my memory tells me that historical projections don't have self-awareness..."

"It's not a projection of history, it's a shadow of time," Luo Lin corrected, then scratched his head and said, "I don't know the details, but it's something my teacher gave me for self-defense, and this is the effect."

Although Azik was puzzled, he hadn't recovered much memory after all, so he thought it might just be some ability he didn't know about. After hesitating for a moment, he looked at Luo Lin and said, "Since this is an item your teacher gave you for self-defense, wouldn't it be inappropriate to use it on me?"

Although he really wanted to restore his memory, he also didn't want to hurt others in the process.

"It's okay, I'll just write to ask for another one later. My teacher and I have a very good relationship, at most he'll just scold me." Luo Lin smiled carelessly, looking like a kind teacher and a filial student.

Your teacher didn't beat you to death; he's just being nice... Klein complained in his heart. He didn't really doubt Rowling's words. At the same time, he felt that he understood why Rowling was so naive. He guessed he was spoiled by others.

But I don't think I'm qualified to say that... Thinking of the Nighthawk informant identity he had arranged for him to protect Rowling, Klein fell silent.

He admitted that perhaps out of concern for his fellow villager, or perhaps out of friendship between the two, he would subconsciously take care of Luo Lin, a simple guy, and Mr. Azik must be the same.

Maybe that Lucifer Zoroaster is the same!
After hearing what Rowling said, Azik naturally stopped refusing.

However, there were people coming and going along the Hoy River all the time. If Azik recovered some of his memories, no one knew whether there would be any big commotion. So, in order to avoid being seen by others, the three of them left Hoy University and took a trackless carriage to an abandoned factory.

"Mr. Azik, please give me your hand. I'm going to use the Time Stone through you." Luo Lin's expression became serious for once. "However, there are two things I should clarify. First, the Time Stone cannot specify the object of summoning, so I don't know who it will be. I can only be sure that the person will be very close to you. In the past, I always summoned the teacher directly, so please be prepared."

"Secondly, there's a time limit on summoning. It can only be summoned for a maximum of 10 minutes, so if you have anything you want to ask, it's best to ask quickly."

These are all lies, of course. Rowling said this just to facilitate subsequent operations.

"Okay, I understand." Azik stretched out his right hand and became nervous for a rare moment.

Klein looked at the two people in front of him with both curiosity and nervousness. He saw that Rowling grabbed Azik with one hand and took out a crystal clear gem from somewhere with the other hand. The gem was engraved with runes that Klein had never seen before.

The next second, the gem emitted a bright light and shattered like an illusion.

Then, a figure appeared beside Azik. It was a girl with smooth black hair. Her facial features were about three to four points similar to Azik's, and it was obvious at a glance that they were related by blood.

After her figure solidified completely, the girl opened her eyes. She looked around in confusion, seemingly still unsure of the situation. Only after she saw Azik beside her did she smile and shout:

"Dad!" Is this Mr. Azik's daughter?

Klein subconsciously speculated in his heart, and then he saw Azik seemed to be stunned, as if he was lost in some memories. He stared blankly at the girl in front of him, seemed to call out a name, and then half-knelt on the ground in pain.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" The girl obviously didn't expect this. She walked over with some worry, looking at Azik with concern. Then she looked up at the two people beside her and said, "Gentlemen, are you my dad's friends? My dad seems to be sick. Can you take him to see a doctor..."

"...I'm fine, I'm fine!" Azik shook his head at this time. He held the girl's hand tightly, as if he was using a lot of strength, but he didn't seem to dare to use any strength at all, only his fingertips were trembling slightly.

"Mr. Azik..." Klein was naturally worried about Azik's condition. His spiritual intuition told him that Azik was in danger at the moment, but he also seemed very safe.

"Dad, are you really okay? Why are you shaking? Are you cold?" The girl was obviously not relieved by Azik's words, and her expression was still very worried.

"I... I was just too excited." Azik raised his eyes, his expression painful and sad. He remembered many things, about the past, about the girl in front of him, and about her death.

He had lost her long ago, a long, long time ago.

Azik remembered this.

This made him suffer, but compared to the pain, Azik was more unwilling to forget the other person's existence and the good times they had in the past.

Azik called out the girl's name, and after the girl looked at him in confusion, Azik hugged her, remembering a long, long time ago when the girl was only as tall as his legs. He picked up the girl and let her sit on his shoulders, just like every silly father would do, to make his daughter happy.

"Dad... I missed you so much. I'm so sorry. I forgot about you. I'm so sorry..." At this moment, Azik didn't know what he was saying. He just followed the instinct of a father who had been lost and found again.

The girl fell silent. She listened to Azik's words quietly. After a few minutes, she broke free from his embrace. As if she understood something, she looked at Azik and said, "Dad, I'm dead, right?"

Azik's body shuddered, but he deceived himself and didn't answer the question.

Luo Lin, who had been silent the entire time, spoke up at this moment: "You in this era are indeed dead. This is the future, and you are from the past."

"So that's how it is! How amazing!" The girl revealed an expression of amazement. She then carefully held Azik's face, leaned in closer, and placed her forehead against Azik's, saying softly, "Don't be sad, Dad. I don't want to see you so sad."

"Even though I'm gone, I still hope Dad can have a new life. Of course, it would be best if he didn't forget me." The girl smiled and nuzzled Azik's face, saying, "So don't cry, Dad. You're a reliable and mature adult, you can't cry."

Azik was shocked to realize that he had burst into tears without knowing when.

The girl looked up at Klein and Rowling and said with a smile, "Uncles, you are my father's friends, right?"
