Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 55 Why not ask the fool for help?

There is no doubt that Mr. Men is a good man with normal moral values. So even though he is wary of this unknown existence, after Rowling actually helped him suppress some of the pollution from the outer gods, Mr. Men's favorability towards Rowling honestly increased to almost thirty.

Luo Lin believed that once Mr. Men completely confirmed that he was a person with no ill intentions towards the Earth, even if he did not take any other action, this favorable impression would probably increase a little more.

But no matter what, as the Angel King who is just one step away from becoming a god, Mr. Men's nearly thirty points of favorability brought Luo Lin the fact that he could finally borrow the ability of the traveler and use the travel ability he had always dreamed of.

"I officially declare that Mr. Men has been promoted to one of my favorite angels," Luo Lin said solemnly. He then patted his chest without any guilt and said, "Of course, I don't deny that my heart is shaped like a durian."

"Hahaha……"

After entertaining himself for a while, Rowling used his travel ability for the first time and came to Backlund, then placed the letter he had written at the agreed place.

Luo Lin then used his travel ability to move around. After the novelty wore off, he returned to Tingen and started today's study.

It was almost evening when Rowling stopped studying and took a trackless carriage to Daffodil Street.

Given Jack Jones's personality, how could he not look for Klein, who was also a prospective member of the Tarot Club, after joining the Club? This is a detail of his character setting.

And Rowling actually wanted to persecute Mr. Fool in person.

So that night, when Klein and Leonard finished dealing with the unusual deaths on the lower street and returned home after experiencing an extraordinary battle, they discovered that in addition to their brother Benson and sister Melissa, there was another guest in the house.

"Klein, good evening. You're finally back?" Rowling greeted him warmly.

"Good evening, Teacher Jack." Klein wasn't too surprised. After all, he could guess that with Jack's personality, he would definitely come to see him after joining the Tarot Club. So he also greeted Rowling with a smile.

"Mr. Jack has been waiting for you for a long time. I didn't expect you to come back so late tonight." Benson looked at Klein, his expression not of blame, but of concern. "It seems that a generous salary always comes with a price."

"If you want to get anything in this world, you always have to pay a price first." Klein said this, took off his coat, and heard his stomach growl.

This was normal, as Klein hadn't even had dinner yet due to the sudden and extraordinary events.

"Look, I knew you must be working overtime hungry so late at night, so I prepared a midnight snack for you. Are you surprised?" Rowling handed Klein a box as if he had thought of it a long time ago. Inside was the Dixie Pie.

"Thank you." Klein took the Dipsy pie and couldn't help but smile.

Melissa, who was doing her homework nearby, also looked up and pointed to the kitchen. "Klein, I left something for you too. It's in the kitchen."

So Klein, who was expected to spend the night hungry, was instantly fed by his relatives and friends and became a well-fed cat.

After finishing his meal, Klein brought Rowling to his room and asked calmly, "Why did you suddenly come to see me today?"

Then Klein saw Rowling looking at him with accusing eyes, which made Mr. Fool feel a little guilty. He coughed lightly and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Klein, you already knew Mr. Fool wasn't an evil god, right?" Rowling pulled out a pair of glasses from somewhere, perched them on his nose, and said, cosplaying as a great detective.

"No wonder you were so confident in comforting me before and told me not to investigate Mr. Fool's affairs any further. Humph, so you had already become a candidate member of the Tarot Club by then, right?" Mr. Jack, is there a possibility that the Fool told you not to tell anyone else about the Tarot Club?
Klein complained in his heart, but he also understood why Jack said it so bluntly. After all, in Jack's understanding, he, Klein, was a candidate member of the Tarot Club and naturally not "other people."

Klein quickly formulated a plan in his mind and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Teacher. I accidentally became a candidate member of the Tarot Club not long ago. Mr. Fool didn't want others to know about this, so I kept it a secret. I'm truly sorry. Can you forgive me?"

"It depends on your sincerity." Luo Lin raised his chin slightly and said proudly.

"Then may I ask what kind of sincerity do you want to see?" Klein asked readily.

Luo Lin showed an expression of serious thought, and then his eyes lit up and said, "I want to see you meow like a cat."

Klein's cat sculpture is a classic of the mysterious world, so of course I have to check it out.

"Huh?" Klein was stunned for a moment, obviously not having thought of this.

"Isn't it possible? Or did you really lie to me?" Luo Lin had an expression as if "my son is rebellious and hurts my heart."

"Well, it's not impossible..." Although he felt a little embarrassed, Klein was, after all, someone who could play the fool without blinking an eye. So after quickly preparing himself mentally, he said:

"Meow!"

But I used too much force, so my voice became a little hoarse.

"Hiss, are you Sang Biao?" Luo Lin took an exaggerated breath.

This made Klein roll his eyes at him in annoyance, but he still coughed, cleared his throat, and said expressionlessly:
"Meow~"

This sound is much more normal.

"What a pity there's no cell phone..." Luo Lin muttered regretfully, but soon perked up and nodded, "That's all!"

Luo Lin then showed a puzzled expression again and looked at Klein and said, "But Klein, since you know that Mr. Fool is a good god, why did you do that before?"

This naturally refers to Klein's loss of composure due to "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun".

"Mr. Fool might be a good god..." Klein glanced at Rowling, his expression becoming serious. "But is there a possibility that Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun isn't Mr. Fool?"

"Huh?" Luo Lin showed a confused expression, and then seemed to suddenly understand and said, "So it was Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun who interfered with your fate, not Mr. Fool, right?"

"Maybe." Klein didn't give a direct answer. After all, his body was a mess. Mr. Azik said that more than one person had interfered with his fate. Who knew who had done what?

"So that's how it is." Luo Lin pinched his chin and thought for a few seconds. Suddenly, he looked at Klein and said, "Then can we seek help from Mr. Fool? His name is so similar to that of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun. Maybe he knows him?"
