Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 34 Rowling's First Meeting with Audrey

"Who would care about such a thing?" Rowling glanced at Azik with dissatisfaction and shouted, "It's obvious that Klein needs the copper whistle more than I do. My fate hasn't been interfered with by anyone. If I want to contact Mr. Azik, you can just slowly arrange the ritual. Only an unlucky person like Klein needs this instantaneous prop to save his life. I understand. And am I the kind of person who would steal things from students?"

Luo Lin naturally understood why Azik gave the copper whistle to Klein. It was not because he had a better relationship with Klein, but because Klein really needed it.

Luo Lin really didn't care much about the ownership of the copper whistle. It was more like he would refuse such a thing even if Azik really gave it to him - Azik could obviously locate the position of the copper whistle, and Luo Lin was a person who had to use multiple aliases, so it was not appropriate for him to carry this thing with him.

"Student?" Azik was a little confused.

Klein's brow twitched.

"Yes, Klein is my student..." Rowling nodded as a matter of course.

Azik was stunned for a moment. He looked at Klein doubtfully, then at Rowling, and asked uncertainly, "Klein, are you Jack's student?"

"Yeah." Klein had no choice but to nod.

"This is really... unexpected." Azik's face showed undisguised surprise.

"What's so surprising? Can't I be someone else's teacher?" Rowling seemed to have seen through Azik's implication and immediately shouted in dissatisfaction.

"After all, a certain teacher is truly a source of worry. It's no surprise that Mr. Azik would be surprised," Klein said with a smile, his mischievous nature already showing a little at this moment.

Azik nodded in agreement and said, "Jack certainly doesn't look like he would be a good teacher."

"You—" Luo Lin glared at the two of them angrily and said unhappily, "Have you forgotten that my job is to be a teacher?"

Upon hearing this, Azik exchanged glances with Klein. Azik smiled and said, "Sorry, I forgot. Although he may not seem very reliable, Jack is indeed a qualified teacher."

Klein, fearing he might have gone too far, smiled and said, "Yes, that's true. The teacher is at least very qualified as a teacher."

"I always feel like there's something else behind your words..." It was impossible for Luo Lin not to hear the teasing in the two people's words, but he didn't really care. After all, this was the effect he wanted.

Rowling simply snorted twice, then looked at Klein and said, "Klein, do you need me to find a teacher?" His expression was one of undisguised worry.

Klein's heart stirred. He thought of Rowling's teacher, Lucifer Zoroast, who was suspected to be a time traveler. After a few seconds of deliberation, he nodded and said, "Thank you, Jack."

"Isn't it natural for teachers to help their students?" Luo Lin waved his hand, his face showing worry. "But my teacher may not be free recently. Sigh, I hope he can reply to my letter soon. He hasn't replied to the last letter I wrote to him yet..."

"Did your teacher tell you what he's been busy with lately?" Klein asked, half curiously and half tentatively.

"He told me last time that he was investigating the whereabouts of the War Angel, but I don't know any more details. He hasn't replied to my letters in the past few days..." Luo Lin spread his hands and complained dissatisfiedly, "That guy is always mysterious and secretive. He's an old riddle teller. He doesn't know how to sympathize with students at all."

"War Angel?" Klein asked curiously. "I think he's one of the eight ancient angel kings. I'm not too sure about that. Klein, if you're curious, I can ask for you when I write." Rowling scratched his head and said.

"Excuse me, teacher." Klein clearly understood the principle of gratitude, even changing his address. He then asked curiously, "Jack, do you know what sequence your teacher is?"

"I don't know, he never told me." Luo Lin shook his head in confusion, showing his clear and stupid personality.

Klein was half helpless and half speechless when he heard this answer, but also felt that it was expected.

Luo Lin seemed to remember something, looked at the two of them, and said:

"By the way, I'm going back to Backlund in a few days. Is there anything you need me to bring?"

……

Rowling wasn't joking when he said he wanted to go back to Backlund. In fact, a few days later, Rowling once again boarded the steam train to Backlund.

Of course, now Rowling can actually travel quickly through the spirit world after borrowing Azik's ability. Although his speed is not as fast as that of a traveler, it is faster than taking a steam train - but there is no need for this.

After all, Rowling came to Backlund this time with the sole purpose of obtaining the title of "The Fool" in public, so naturally he had to make his itinerary appear to be flawless.

After arriving in Backlund, Rowling soon met Hugh who was waiting there at the agreed location.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting." Luo Lin came forward and asked in a low voice, "I've read your letter, but it's not very clear. Can you tell me more details?"

After hearing Rowling's words, Hugh nodded and explained what had happened recently. After receiving Rowling's letter, Hugh and Fors felt that what he said made sense. After some inquiries and investigations, they chose to contact Viscount Glint, who was very famous in the mystic circle. Through him, they successfully established a connection with Audrey Hall, the daughter of Earl Hall.

"I haven't had time to ask them about the Fool yet. I plan to wait until I'm more familiar with them after attending this Beyonder gathering." Xio seemed to have thought of something when he said this. He looked at Luo Lin and said,
"By the way, when Fors introduced you to Miss Audrey, she said you were a knowledgeable Beyonder from an ancient family. You shouldn't mind, right?"

Because they were going to attend the extraordinary party together, Xio and the others naturally introduced Rowling to Audrey and the others in advance, but they didn't mention his name.

"It's okay, I don't mind." Luo Lin shook his head. He naturally wouldn't mind such things.

"Then let's go pick up Miss Audrey..." Xio nodded, and then the two of them got on a carriage and arrived outside Viscount Greylint's villa. Soon, Fors, who was in disguise, came out with a man and a woman.

Needless to say, the man did not look in good health. He was obviously Viscount Greylint who was determined to become a pharmacist in the original novel.

The girl wearing a cloak next to Viscount Greylint is obviously the famous Audrey the Justice in the original book.

The other person has a beautiful face that is almost comparable to that of a witch. Her behavior is calm, elegant and proper. You can tell at a glance that she has received a good education. Even though she has changed into casual clothes, you can still see the preciousness of the fabric. Coupled with those jewelry that are obviously worth a lot of money, the whole person can be said to exude an aura of "money power".
