Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 33 Azik's Plan
Rowling only needs to take advantage of the fact that Medici doesn't know the truth yet and use the ancient sun god to improve his relationship with Medici. Whether the two sides will turn against each other later is not within Rowling's consideration at all.

In other words, in this matter, Rowling was just an outsider.

"If Medici and I have a good relationship by then, and Adam's favorability level can't be raised, I don't mind standing on the side of the Red Angel and helping him fight Adam." Rowling thought shamelessly.

As for whether Adam would feel his thoughts, to be honest, Rowling was thinking this way on purpose for Adam to see, just as Rowling had deliberately thought of Adam when he mentioned the relevant matters in the hurricane.

Of course, Rowling knew that there might be an Adam squatting in the air around him right now. He also knew that he had no ability to resist Adam now. In this case, he might as well show his attitude openly and test Adam's attitude by the way.

Adam wanted to find out Rowling's background, and Rowling also wanted to find out the thoughts of this divine creator.
Even through the trials during this period, combined with the peculiarities of his own soul, Rowling had some guesses about certain things - Rowling didn't know whether Adam could perceive his thoughts, but he guessed that, just as Amon couldn't parasitize him, the audience pathway's ability to hypnotize and change cognition would probably not work on him either.

Otherwise, if Adam hypnotized him, the problem would have been solved at the source.

As for whether he has been hypnotized, there is no need to consider it. As someone who has faced Yog-Sothoth and has the fragments of Naa in his body, Rowling is not so unsure whether he is awake or not.

However, Rowling also knew that even if his guess was true, Adam really could not change his cognition, and the other party's existence would still be very troublesome, but Rowling has always been open-minded about this.

"Of course you can manipulate me, push me to the opposite side of this world, or you can win me over. After all, I'm still half a lawful person. Well, from this perspective, I'm actually very curious about what you will choose..."

Luo Lin laughed in his heart, not caring whether Adam could sense his thoughts or not, and began to think about Xio and Fors.

I wonder if they've come into contact with Justice Audrey. This time, returning to Backlund might help them advance their efforts in joining the Tarot Club... Rowling thought this way, but he maintained his persona on the surface, which could be said to be quite dedicated.

Azik naturally had no idea what was going on in Rowling's mind. He then looked at Klein and said gently, "Klein, I'm afraid I have to go back on my words. Next, I might go and search for my past memories myself."

Before he remembered the memories about his daughter, Azik was indeed in a bad mood when it came to searching for his past memories. However, after coming into contact with his daughter and recovering some of his memories, Azik's motivation to search for his past memories was obviously stronger than ever before, and he no longer planned to give up.

"Mr. Azik, do you still need me to search for clues about your past?" Klein asked quickly.

"You can keep an eye out for me. Like I said before, there's no need to go out of your way to look for it. I don't want these things to put you in danger." Azik paused, then looked Klein carefully for a moment. He said with a hint of confusion, "Strange..."

"What's wrong, Mr. Azik?" Klein suddenly became nervous.

"You're shrouded in a layer of mist, which seems to be related to the spirit world, but I'm not sure..." Azik's expression was filled with confusion and worry. He raised his hand and rubbed his temple, trying to recall more things but to no avail. In the end, he could only solemnly remind him:
"Klein, you have to be careful. Perhaps there is more than one being interfering with your fate." Klein's expression froze. Thinking of the coincidence that happened to him and the mysterious gray fog, he felt a headache for a moment.

Luo Lin hadn't expected that Azik would immediately notice Klein's abnormality after regaining his memory. However, he wasn't panicked. He simply looked at Klein with concern, then at Azik, and said, "Mr. Azik, do you have a solution?"

"Sorry." Azik smiled bitterly and shook his head. He really didn't have any way to help Klein in this regard. The memory he had recovered was still too little.

However, looking at Klein before him, Azik pondered for more than ten seconds before unhooking a copper whistle from his sleeve and handing it to Klein. He said, "Although I can't resolve the anomaly in your fate, Klein, if you encounter any unsolvable problems in the future, you can contact me through this."

"Is this a tool for summoning messengers?" Rowling showed a curious expression.

"Messenger?" Klein looked puzzled. He had never learned anything about this subject, so he obviously didn't know what a "messenger" was.

"I know the answer to this question." Luo Lin showed a proud expression and excitedly introduced the existence of the messenger - the so-called "messenger", as the name suggests, is an envoy who delivers letters to the master, usually a spiritual creature. Extraordinary people can sign a contract with a suitable spiritual creature and let it serve as their messenger. Under normal circumstances, an extraordinary person has only one messenger, except for the big boss.

"It's just as Jack said. This is a prop for summoning a messenger. Just blow the whistle and I can summon my messenger, like this..."

After Azik finished speaking, he demonstrated and blew the copper whistle, and the tall skeleton messenger appeared in front of them.

"Is this a messenger?" Klein was visibly shocked as he looked at the skeletal messenger, who was at least two meters tall. He felt that this extraordinary world was truly marvelous.

Azik smiled upon hearing this and explained how to end the messenger summons. He then handed the copper whistle to Klein and said seriously, "I'm not sure if I can help you, but I hope I can."

If Klein was just a student whom Azik had a slight liking for before, then now that they had met their ex-daughter together, and Klein and Rowling were asked by their daughter to take care of him, Azik had developed some empathy for Klein.

In this situation, Azik really didn't want Klein to get into trouble, so he chose to give the copper whistle to him.

Luo Lin, who was watching this scene, raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the line of fate would be concluded in this situation.

At this moment, Azik seemed to have thought of something and looked at Luo Lin. He took out a pen and paper from his pocket, wrote a string of Hermetic characters, and handed it to him. He said gently, "This is how to summon my messenger. You can also contact me through it. Sorry, I don't have a second copper whistle. I hope you don't mind."
