Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 35 Justice Audrey is confused
As expected of a wealthy woman who single-handedly revitalized the Tarot Club's economy, I kind of understand why Huang Jiajia was so attracted.

Luo Lin silently withdrew his gaze, jokingly saying something in his heart, and then listened to Fors's introduction:

"This is Xiu... This is the learned gentleman from an ancient family whom I mentioned before."

Audrey first greeted Xio, then her eyes fell on Luo Lin. She was obviously very interested in the so-called ancient family that Fors mentioned. She smiled and said, "Hello, sir. What should I call you?"

While greeting, Audrey instinctively entered the audience state and began to observe the young man in front of her.

The other person has a good appearance that is no less than hers. He may not be born in a high class, but he is definitely not low. He has received a good education and has no smoking habit, but he should know how to fight to a certain extent... Well, he doesn't look like a person with a complicated mind. Perhaps his personality is relatively simple?

"Miss Audrey, you don't have to be polite. Just call me Jack." Rowling responded with a smile. As a qualified entertainer, he had naturally entered the acting state a long time ago and used his entertainer's ability to control his emotions to avoid being discovered by the audience.

"Okay, Mr. Jack." Audrey nodded obediently.

Viscount Greylint immediately greeted the two of them and asked impatiently, "Are we going to attend the Beyonder gathering next?"

Seeing how anxious he was, they naturally didn't waste any time and quickly got on a carriage and arrived at the designated location, which was where Mr. A was holding the party.

It may be a coincidence, or it may be the inevitability of fate. Although the time and place of the meeting are different from the original book, Hugh still brought Audrey and Viscount Glint to Mr. A's party.

The rest of the process was similar to Rowling's last party. After they sat down in a corner, Quinn looked at Audrey and Viscount Grallint and asked, "Have you decided which Sequence 9 formula you each want?"

Viscount Greylint naturally gave the answer "pharmacist" without hesitation. This has always been his goal and has never changed.

Audrey pretended to think for a moment and said, "I want to be a spectator. If possible, I also hope to be able to purchase the subsequent mind-reading potion formula through the spectator channel."

"Audience?" Rowling spoke at the right moment. He looked at Audrey and said, "I have the recipe for the audience potion, and also the recipe for the subsequent mind-reading potion. Do you want to buy it?"

Naturally, Luo Lin would not refuse the opportunity to take advantage of the rich woman.

He is also short of money.

"Really?" Even Audrey felt genuinely surprised at this moment. After all, she didn't have the subsequent mind-reading potion formula yet. She quickly said, "Please sell it to me. How many gold pounds do you want?"

"600 pounds." Although Rowling wanted to take advantage of Audrey, he didn't want to lose the big picture for the small one, so he quoted a suitable price.

He won't pay anything anyway.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Jack." As a wealthy woman, Audrey naturally would not bargain, and the two completed the transaction at the speed of light.

"Jack, how many potion formulas do you know?" Hugh, who had witnessed the transaction, couldn't help but ask with envy. "That depends on how much is recorded in our ancestors' notes," Rowling replied with a smile.

"That's really enviable." Seeing Audrey buy what she wanted so quickly, Viscount Grallant couldn't help but show an envious expression. He looked at Rowling and said, "Mr. Jack, do you have the recipe for the Apothecary potion?"

"Pharmacist..." Rowling showed a nostalgic expression, then shook his head slightly apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Grallint, I don't have the complete formula for the pharmacist potion, but I know what the main ingredients are. Do you need it?"

"I need it. How much do you want?" Viscount Grellint nodded almost without hesitation. Although knowing the main ingredients of the pharmacist's potion in advance would not allow him to mix the potion and become a pharmacist immediately, it would allow Viscount Grellint to collect the materials in advance. In this way, if he could buy the complete target formula, he could advance as quickly as possible.

"What about the hundred pounds?" Rowling quoted a price. The complete Sequence 9 potion formula usually costs 200 pounds, and the version with only the main ingredients is sold for pounds, which is fine.

"No problem, you are such a fair man." Although Viscount Glint was not as rich as Audrey, he did not care about the 100 pounds.

So they completed the transaction at the speed of light, leaving Xio and Fors beside them envious.

It seemed like this Mr. Jack really knew a lot of potion recipes. She wondered which ancient family he came from… Audrey almost subconsciously speculated about Rowling's origins. After a moment's thought, she asked curiously, "Mr. Jack, could it be that your family is one of those legendary ancient families that have been passed down from the Fourth Age?"

"Actually, I don't know much about this aspect. After all, my family has fallen on hard times. But it's true that there are some records about the Fourth Age in our family's ancient books." When Luo Lin said this, he showed some helplessness and loss.

"Sorry..." Audrey said apologetically. She could tell that the other person was really disappointed.

"It doesn't matter. It's not something that can't be said." Luo Lin shook his head.

Fors appropriately changed the subject at this time and asked, "Jack, is there anything you want to buy this time?"

"I don't have anything in particular I want to buy recently..." Luo Lin shook his head, then seemed to have thought of something and said, "But I plan to find out about the Fool. Given the scale of this gathering, perhaps I can get something out of it."

Audrey, who was originally in the audience state, almost couldn't maintain her state after hearing what Rowling said.

But as a noble lady who was always active in various social occasions, Audrey clearly had good facial expression management, so she managed to keep her expression steady, revealing only a hint of curiosity as she asked, "The Fool? What's that? Are you talking about Tarot cards?"

"No, the Fool I'm talking about is a mysterious being." Rowling shook his head. At this moment, he could be said to have brought his acting skills to the extreme. He also used the power of the Fun Man potion to control his emotions, making sure not to reveal any flaws. "There's nothing to hide about this..."

He then brought out the same rhetoric he had used to deal with Hugh and Fors, but changed the curse to "the ancestors are related to the fool." Finally, Luo Lin showed a worried expression and said:
"Actually, I wasn't really in a hurry to find out about the Fool, but one of my friends seems to be directly related to him, which makes me a little worried..."

The friend mentioned here is naturally Kleinbenk, the Fool himself.
