Chapter 45 Klein's pupils tremble

"I hope so..." Luo Lin sighed, then smiled as if he had thought of something. He said optimistically, "Actually, I've already written to the teacher, and he finally replied. He scolded me in the letter, but said he'd be back in two months. By the time he comes back, everything should be resolved, right?"

Luo Lin then looked at Klein and said, "The teacher also said that he will check on your situation when the time comes. Don't worry, Klein. My teacher is very capable and he will definitely be able to solve your problem."

Hearing this, Klein felt both moved and a little guilty. However, as a cautious person, he could only apologize to Rowling in his heart. He then asked curiously, "Jack, what kind of person is Mr. Lucifer?"

"Him?" Luo Lin let out a nostalgic expression, then said uncertainly, "Well, I can't say. Generally speaking, he's a good person, but he has a serious bad taste. He especially likes to play tricks on people. He talks about scripts, actors, and other things all day long. I don't understand them all."

As he spoke, Luo Lin seemed to have thought of something and showed an angry expression. He said, "And let me tell you, I originally asked the teacher in the letter about Mr. Men and the Fool, but this guy insisted that it was not something I should understand at this stage and told me to focus on learning the knowledge I should learn. It pissed me off!"

This is naturally a patch for Jack Jones, who obviously has a very powerful teacher and knows very little high-level secret knowledge.

In fact, this is also the path that normal extraordinary people with a master should take. After all, knowing too much in this world is never a good thing, especially the knowledge about high-level existences. Although it cannot be said that "knowledge is dangerous", it is not far off.

Klein's mouth twitched as he heard Rowling's angry words, but he could understand Mr. Rowling's behavior.

After all, students should learn what they should learn at their stage. Even if a Sequence 9 newbie knows a lot of knowledge about angels and true gods, it won't be of any use.

And given Jack's personality, knowing too much is hard to say. It's hard to say if he'll cause a big mess... Thinking of this, Klein looked at Rowling and said soothingly, "Mr. Lucifer has his reasons for doing this. Knowing too much can sometimes be dangerous."

Luo Lin suddenly wilted like an eggplant hit by frost, muttering strange things like "I didn't mean to do it", "It was an accident", "I will definitely not do this next time", etc.

After being depressed for a while, Rowling looked at Klein as if he had suddenly thought of something and said, "Klein, have you ever read the Fool's honorific name?"

"Uh, no." Klein shook his head calmly, as if there really wasn't anything.

Luo Lin showed a thoughtful expression, and after a few seconds he said, "How about I recite it again to see what kind of monster this Fool is? I've already recited his honorific name. If he's been targeted, he would have been targeted long ago, so there's no harm in reciting it again. If the Fool really isn't an evil god, maybe we can have a conversation with him? Besides, I always feel like I've heard the Fool's honorific name somewhere..."

Klein's pupils instantly trembled. He had never expected that Rowling's train of thought would jump to this point. However, considering the other party's usual carefree and somewhat eccentric style, Klein was surprisingly not surprised. He just hurriedly said:
"This is still too dangerous. Isn't your teacher coming back soon? Even if you really want to do something, you have to wait until your teacher comes back."

Klein quickly changed the subject and said, "You said you felt the name of the Fool was familiar to you. Can you remember where you heard it?"

"...I think it's from a book I saw before." Klein had tried so hard, so Rowling's attention was naturally diverted as he wished. He said, "That book seemed to mention someone called Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun. It seems to be similar to the name of this Fool..."

This time, Klein's pupils were truly trembling, and for a moment, he barely managed to conceal his change in expression. "Hey, Klein, what's wrong with your eyes? Are you feeling any discomfort? Do you want some eye drops? Uh, they have eye drops these days, right..." Luo Lin naturally knew what was going on with Klein, but he still considerately feigned ignorance, speaking with a mixture of confusion and concern.

"I'm fine." Klein shook his head with difficulty. Then, not caring about the possibility of being exposed, he asked, "Jack, do you remember which book you saw Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun in?"

"I really don't remember that. After all, it was a long time ago... well, it happened a long time ago, and I can't find the book now." Luo Lin shook his head, and then seemed to remember something and muttered:

"But I remember having a nightmare after reading that book. I dreamed of a thick gray fog, and I was screaming in the fog, but nothing answered me. It was pretty scary."

Klein pursed his lips upon hearing this. Although he had already suspected this, it was only at this moment that he realized that perhaps the travelers were indeed related to Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun and the gray fog.

But why? If Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun really existed, why did he allow them to travel through time? Where was he now?
And other travelers obviously can't go above the gray fog, so why can he?
Is there anything special about him?
Klein was in a state of confusion, feeling as if a huge shadow was looming over him. But at this moment, Klein suddenly felt a surge of joy that soothed the bad emotions in his heart, calming him down and even making him feel a little happy.

This made him look up in surprise, and he saw Luo Lin looking at him worriedly, holding something that looked like a cross in his hand, and pressing the cross against him.

"Are you okay, Klein?" Rowling asked with a worried look on his face.

"I'm fine. What is this?" Klein shook his head and looked at the cross in Rowling's hand with some curiosity.

"This is a magical item my teacher gave me. It has the function of calming other people's emotions. I saw that you were in a bad mood just now, so I used it on you." Rowling said calmly. He had indeed used his emotion manipulation skills on Klein to calm him down, but he did not use it through the cross.

The cross itself is naturally just a decoration.

Klein immediately understood where the joy just now came from, which made him feel a little warmer. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Jack."

While speaking, Klein, who had completely calmed down, said to himself:

"Don't be afraid, Zhou Mingrui. No matter what Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun's purpose is, you can't wait to die!"

"And this might be a good thing. If Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun is really the mastermind behind the time traveler's journey, then as long as I find Him, maybe... I can go home!"

Thinking of this, Klein couldn't help but let out a sigh.
