Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 77 Tarot Club Becomes Famous

"...Sorry, Mr. Azik. I was thinking about something and kept you waiting." Klein came back to his senses and looked at Azik, who had been quietly watching him, with a hint of apology.

"It's okay." Azik shook his head gently and said, "I hope these things don't bother you."

"No, no, it actually helped me figure out a lot of things." Klein quickly shook his head.

Seeing his expression, Azik felt relieved and said with a gentle smile, "I'm not sure what kind of entanglement you have with Mr. Lucifer, but he certainly doesn't have any ill will towards you. If there is any misunderstanding, it's best to resolve it as soon as possible."

Klein's expression froze. He certainly knew the entanglement between him and Lucifer. Putting aside the fact that they were both fellow time travelers, the key lay in the things he had lied to Jack about.

But if he really had to confess to Jack... Klein thought about how he had been pretending to be a native since he met Jack, and also about the time he had been holding Tarot meetings under the guise of the Fool. Suddenly, his scalp felt a little numb, and his toes subconsciously wanted to dig out a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment.

It turns out that I should wait a little longer. After all, Senior Lucifer doesn't have any real ill will towards me at the moment, so there is no need to rush to confess.

Klein consoled himself in his heart. He really didn't want to die socially!

Although Azik didn't know what exactly happened, he could see Klein's resistance, so he didn't say anything else.

Klein suddenly thought of something and looked at Mr. Azik with a hint of worry. He asked, "Mr. Azik, will you continue searching for your memories?"

"Well, since the end is inevitable, then at least before the end comes, I want to figure out who I really am. I want to remember the past with the children."

Azik nodded gently. This was something he had already thought about. No matter which path he would choose in the future, at least for now he wanted to retrieve his past memories one by one.

"I'll help you too, Mr. Azik," Klein said hurriedly, observing Azik carefully. Thinking of Lucifer's reluctance to sell the Time Stone to Azik, he couldn't help but feel sorry for Mr. Azik. But he was also worried about touching on his sore spot, so he didn't dare to bring it up directly.

"Thank you, Klein." Azik smiled, perhaps seeing what Klein was thinking. He said:

"Although Mr. Lucifer is indeed unwilling to sell the Time Stone to me, I can see that he is also a very gentle person at heart. Perhaps I can impress him with my sincerity in the future and gain the opportunity to reunite with my family."

"Yeah, I definitely will." Klein certainly wouldn't undermine Mr. Azik's confidence. He nodded quickly, then couldn't help but think of his family and lost himself for a moment.

Mr. Azik still has the opportunity to reunite with his family for a short time, but when will he, a time traveler, be able to return home?
Or... never?
Klein felt a bitter taste in his mouth as he thought of this.

Of course, he didn't know the truth about time travel, but Klein wasn't stupid. With the examples of predecessors like Russell and Lucifer, even if Klein didn't know the truth about time travel, he couldn't help but think about a question - high-sequence people like Russell and Lucifer couldn't return home, could he really find a way to go home?

Klein didn't know, but as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he didn't want to give up.

"Unfortunately, given Mr. Lucifer's current attitude towards me, he probably won't tell me any clues about time travel. I want to know more about time travel. Besides working hard to improve my sequence, I can only rely on the diaries of my predecessors who have traveled through time..." Klein sighed inwardly.

On the other side, Backlund.

Due to the attack of Hurricane Lieutenant General Qilingos, the noble ball naturally ended early, and Audrey, who was protected as a whistleblower, finally waited for the outcome of the matter.

"A High-Sequence Expert named Lucifer? Tarot cards?" Audrey's eyes lit up instantly when she heard this. She naturally thought of Mr. Fool and his Favored Ones.

Audrey wasn't just imagining things. After all, from her perspective, the Tarot Society was the only one who knew of Qilingos's existence, could dispatch a High-Sequence Expert in a timely manner, and was suspected of being related to Tarot.

Could it be that this mysterious Mr. Lucifer is Mr. Fool's favored one?
Audrey was so excited that she couldn't help asking her father for more details.

Earl Hall had no intention of hiding anything and said directly, "I don't know much about Mr. Lucifer, but Archbishop Snake is certain that he is not an enemy. This seems to be related to the oracle that the Lord of Storms once issued."

Oracle? Goddess, could it be that Mr. Fool and the Lord of Storms are actually allies? Then could it be that Mr. Fool and the Goddess are also allies… Audrey became even more excited and couldn't help but ask, "What does the Church think of the organization to which Mr. Lucifer belongs?"

"At present, we can only confirm that it is probably related to Tarot cards. It is probably a symbol. However, there is no record of any organization using Tarot cards as a symbol. I don't know whether the other party is too secretive or an emerging organization." Earl Hall shook his head and said.

Audrey's heart couldn't help but stir. She pretended to be curious and asked, "Then what should we call this mysterious organization? Tarot cards, Tarot cards... Hmm, can I use the Tarot Club to refer to this organization?"

"The Tarot Club... a good name." Earl Hall thought the name made sense and said, "Perhaps we can temporarily use the Tarot Club to refer to this mysterious organization."

When the name of a secret organization is unknown, it is normal for the official to give it a code name based on its characteristics.

"Then Dad, will this be announced in the newspaper?" Audrey continued to ask. As a girl who was not yet 18 years old and a veteran of the Tarot Club, she naturally hoped more than anyone else that her organization would become famous throughout the world.

"In order to avoid causing panic, the truth will definitely not be made public, but the existence of the Tarot Club should be mentioned." Earl Hall said with a smile.

Great! This way, more people will know about our Tarot Club, and everyone will know that we are a good organization!
Audrey was delighted, but then she remembered something and asked curiously, "Dad, what are you going to do with Hurricane Admiral Qilingos? Has he really been turned into a sheep? Can he be turned back?"

"Qilingos will be handed over to the Storm Church for disposal. As for whether he can change back, I don't know."

Earl Hall shook his head. In order to protect his innocent daughter, he naturally could not tell the other party that Hurricane Vice Admiral Qilingos would most likely become a test subject of the Storm Church and make a contribution to the church's exploration of the power of alien species.

This would terrify his daughter.
