Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 54 Luo Lin's Harvest

"Sure." Klein naturally agreed. He then briefly explained the rules of the Tarot Club to Rowling before materializing a pile of cards and saying, "You can choose one as your code name."

Rowling's eyes swept across the tarot deck in front of him, excluding the three main cards of "The Fool", "Justice" and "The Hanged Man". His gaze paused on the "World" card. Although he wanted to choose it with some bad taste, he finally decided to let Klein himself play the double act, and he drew another card from it.

That's an Emperor card!

"Emperor, I choose the Emperor card."

Luo Lin originally wanted to choose "Lovers", after all, this card corresponds to the Thief's Path, but when he thought about the fact that he was a single dog, choosing this code name was a bit unfriendly, so he finally chose his second favorite "Emperor".

"Okay." Klein naturally had no objection to Rowling's choice. He nodded slightly, causing the materialized card to disappear. Then he said, "Do not reveal my existence or the Tarot Club to anyone else without my permission."

If he didn't specifically remind him, Klein was really afraid that he would turn around and find that The Fool and Tarot had become well-known.

"Huh? Then you can't even tell my teacher?" Luo Lin seemed not to have expected this. After a moment of hesitation, he asked cautiously.

"No." Klein smiled and shook his head.

"...Oh." Luo Lin replied ruefully. Then, as if he had thought of something, he looked at Klein with curiosity. He asked, "Mr. Fool, is Klein also a member of the Tarot Club?"

"He's a candidate for the Tarot Club," Klein replied calmly. Although he didn't have a way to create a secondary account yet, Mr. Fool had long harbored the idea. After all, while the Fool's status was high, it restricted many questions from being asked directly.

So Mr. Fool simply gave a precautionary measure, so that when he really opened a small account in the future and let Klein appear at the Tarot Club, it would become a matter of course.

"Hey, doesn't that mean I joined the Tarot Club earlier than Klein? I'm definitely more capable..." Rowling smiled foolishly, like a silly college student who had surpassed his friends in some way.

Klein felt a little embarrassed to watch, but he also felt a little relieved.

When interacting with his fellow countryman, Rowling, the clarity and innocence he exuded made Klein relax involuntarily, thinking back to the time before he traveled through time.

……

"In this case, I just have to wait for the next Tarot Club. Speaking of which, Little Sun is about to join, so I hope I haven't squeezed him out."

After leaving the gray fog, Rowling stretched out his body after confirming that Klein was no longer paying attention to him. He felt that his spiritual power was finally exhausted and decided to take a nap to recover his spiritual power.

When he woke up from his sound sleep, it was already noon the next day. Luo Lin got himself ready and began to review what happened yesterday.

Summoning Mr. Men was a long-planned undertaking, and the entire process went remarkably smoothly. Not only did Luo Lin successfully strike a deal with Mr. Men, but it also confirmed his earlier suspicions—that Naya's power was indeed higher than that of the Outer Gods, thus enabling him to overwhelm and eliminate them. The only problem was that the madness inherent in Naya's power was clearly too much for Mr. Men to bear, so the elimination process would likely take a considerable amount of time.

Luo Lin was happy to see this happen. After all, if he could rescue everyone at once, he would have no leverage over the other party.

"But to be honest, is Naya's madness really so unacceptable? In fact, I feel it's okay. Although it is true that a madness from this world is needed as an anchor when taking the potion, Mr. Men is not short of the madness that is unique to this world... Well, maybe there is something wrong with me!" Rowling spread his hands when he said this. In fact, he didn't notice anything unusual about himself.

For example, his extraordinary ability of the Shadow of Time, and the fact that he faced gods like Naa and Yog directly without any harm - however, other people who faced the true appearance of gods like him went crazy, no matter what abilities they had, without exception.

Luo Lin just doesn't care about these things. Whether he is a mortal or something strange, it doesn't matter to Luo Lin.

"Luo Lin is just Luo Lin, a mortal, a funny guy." Luo Lin defined himself with a smile, took out a piece of letter paper and wrote down all the materials mentioned by Mr. Men yesterday, added some other content, and stuffed the letter paper into the envelope.

This letter was naturally sent to Mr. A of the Aurora Club. After all, Rowling himself could not provide the materials that Mr. A needed.

Rowling did not feel guilty about taking advantage of others. After all, he would not take these materials for nothing, and he would naturally give the real creators what they wanted.

"I'm afraid they're hoping I'll ask for more..." Luo Lin smiled and shook his head, but he couldn't help but feel a little hopeful. "I hope Mr. Men can complete my commission soon so that the Leziren Club can be officially established."

"But there are still a few members..." Luo Lin pinched his chin and thought for a few seconds, then his eyes suddenly lit up and he said:
"Why not bring Leonard into the fold, and then bring Klein in? Then they'll be separated in the Nighthawks branch, and then see each other at the same party. How interesting!"

Luo Lin thought this was fun to watch.

However, Rowling was not in a hurry. He continued to review his other gains.

"We can go to Pales again. The old man just met an old friend and must want to find out more. This can also indirectly consolidate my reputation. Although I was exposed by Mr. Men, but..." Rowling shook his head when he thought of this. How could he not see Bethel's thoughts?

Mortals are so audacious as to pretend to be gods (X)

The evil god of pleasure disguises himself as a human and plays tricks on the poor angels (√)
"Although Mr. Men's idea may not be wrong..." Rowling smiled and shook his head, then sensed the progress of his actor's potion digestion. After performing in front of Mr. Men, he digested a lot of the potion.

"Sure enough, it's not enough to just play a certain character. As an actor, I'm afraid I have to do some performances that can be called acting. Otherwise, with Mr. Men's strength, I should have directly digested the actor potion..." Rowling pinched his chin and thought for a few seconds. He was not surprised by this result.

He suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled in the air, and a figure emerged from the air, then quickly merged into Luo Lin himself.

"Finally..." Rowling's smile became brighter than ever before, because he finally got the traveler ability he had been longing for.
